Ch 7

By dinner time Kerrie was feeling a bit better. She tried to convince Katie she was able to go to Sue's for dinner but Katie wouldn't hear it. Kerrie at least talked Katie into going and said she would eat something if Katie brought it back.

"Ok, but text me if you feel worse."

Katie and Seth went over Sue's. Jacob, Leah, and Embry were there as well since they were going to talk over some wedding details. Leah found the whole story of their afternoon amusing and smirked when Embry offered to bring a plate of food over to Kerrie after he ate quickly.

"That might be a good idea." Katie said as Embry began piling food on a plate.

"No, way to much. Something light, she's not going to eat much. We have some ice cream in the freezer." Katie said putting together a much smaller plate. "Make sure she drinks a bunch of water too." Embry nodded as he walked off a small smile on his face.

"So what the heck happened?" Jake said wanting to hear the story from Seth and Katie. Sue sat back listening as did Leah.

"Hmm… Embry didn't want to talk about it. He said if I was going to yell at him to get it over with. Paul texted Sam about an hour ago saying they rode with Rob till the edge of Forks to make sure he left. Is he going to be a problem?" Katie shook her head.

"He wouldn't come back."

"Good, I'm sure Embry will be camped outside your house anyway."

Embry stood outside Katie and Seth's house he took a deep breath and rang the doorbell then winced wondering if that was the wrong choice. The door opened and Kerrie stood there with a small smile.

"Hello Embry." She said opening the door.

"Hi Kerrie, I brought you this from Sue's."

"Thanks." She said taking the plate and walking into the kitchen as Embry closed the door behind them. "Thanks again for today. I haven't had a migraine that bad in years, it was actually when I needed to pass my last MTEL to get my teaching license." Kerrie said putting the plate in the microwave.

"I'm glad I could help."

"I can't believe our mother thought that was a good idea. At the time I was heart broken but that was one of the best things that happened to me, honestly." She said grabbing the food out of the microwave. "Sorry, I'm rambling." She said grabbing a fork and knife then a soda. "Do you want anything to drink?"

"No thank you." He sat at the table with Kerrie as she picked at the food just like Katie said she would. "Paul and Jared made sure he left."

"He wouldn't come back, I'm surprised he had the guts to show up here." Kerrie said as Embry got up and got a glass of water.

"Katie said you should drink some water." He said putting the glass on the table.

"She's getting into the mommy role. I'm glad she stayed calm when I got dizzy earlier. Usually she freaks out and makes things worse."

"Katie can be dramatic." Embry said with a laugh as Kerrie nodded.

"Very dramatic, it would have been more fitting if she was an actress instead of a model." Embry looked surprised. "She never told you all?" Embry shrugged. "I know Seth knows, anyway she started modeling when she was in middle school. No runway shows or anything, mostly print. I bet she's doing maternity modeling."

"Seth probably wants to keep it quiet, Paul will give him a hard time." Kerrie nodded and pushed some more food around the plate, she had eaten a little bit of chicken and two bites of potatoes. "Oh… Katie mentioned ice cream in the freezer." Embry said standing as Kerrie took his hand.

"I can get it, just cause I made a migraine doesn't make me incapable."

"I insist, rest." Kerrie sat down and took a large sip of the water as she texted Katie to let her know she was ok and drinking enough water. Kerrie slowly stood.

"I'm sure you have better things to do then hang around here with me."

"Not at all." Embry said with a small smile.

"No girlfriend at home wondering where you are?"

"Definitely no girlfriend." Kerrie walked into the living room.

"Are you sure I'm not keeping you-"

"Your not." Kerrie smiled a bit.

"Want to watch a movie or something?"

"Sure." Kerrie sat down and turned on the TV flipping through the stations before she found Lord of the Rings: The Two Towers.

"I love this movie." Kerrie said her eyes on the screen. Embry watched her out of the corner of his eye as he scooted closer t her on the couch. "Crap, I forgot my water." She said moving to stand but Embry stopped her.

"I'll get it. Did you want some ice cream too?"

"Why not?" She said with a small smile. Embry returned a few minutes later with two bowls of ice cream and water. A little over an hour later the door opened and Katie and Seth walked in.

"How is the patient?" Katie asked.

"Good, I feel much better." Kerrie said sipping some of her water. Katie spotted the movie on TV.

"Oh no…not Lord of the Rings again." Katie said as Kerrie grinned. "Is she forcing you to watch this?" Katie asked.

"No, I like this movie."

"Lucky you, I can't even sit through half of this movie…actually any of those movies. Now there are The Hobbit movies as well. Kerrie is a super fan, she met Aidan Turner and Dean O'Gorman last summer at Boston Comic Con." Katie said as Kerrie flushed a light shade of red.

"Anyway you two didn't miss much." Seth said changing the topic.

"Embry, would you like to come over for dinner tomorrow? A thank you for your help." Katie smirked looking at Seth. Embry's face lit up and he nodded. "Great, you two don't mind right?" Kerrie asked looking at Katie.

"Of course not." Embry stayed till the end of the movie ended. Katie pushed Seth down the hall leaving Kerrie and Embry alone.

"This is great." Katie whispered as Seth tried not to laugh at Katie who was standing in the doorway of their bedroom trying to listen to what was going on. Kerrie and Embry sat in silence for a minute before they turned to face each other.

"Thank you again for today." Kerrie said softly.

"I-I'm glad I could help. Kerrie, I… would you like to go to dinner with me on Thursday?"

"Oh, Embry, I can't. Leah and I are going to a concert Thursday." Embry's smile faded and he stood up quickly. "But maybe another day." She said quickly.

"Great, we can talk about it tomorrow." Kerrie stood and followed Embry to the door. As he put his hand on the doorknob she quickly kissed his cheek.

"See you tomorrow." She said with a smile.

"Good night, Kerrie. I'm glad that your feeling better. See you tomorrow." Kerrie stood in the living room for a few minutes before Katie appeared.

"So?"

"Katie, you are so nosey."

"Come on, tell me." Katie sat on the couch as Kerrie joined her sister quickly going over what happened. "That's good… you two look cute together." Katie said as Kerrie blushed.

"Time for bed." Kerrie said with a yawn.

"Yes." Katie said tiredly.
