lytebrytehybrid88- you're giving me some very good ideas! :D

polly2010- hehe...I thought everyone was going to be mad at me for bringing in Bella :) You're right. Zara needs to be the one pushing Jake away now.

secretsaredeadly- Haha...maybe if she'd been vamp but she's human. He's plain stupid and stubborn! :)

oneofthegolden- I'm glad you liked that scene. Hmm...Jake's already attracted to her let's see how long he takes to accept that. :)

Thanks for your reviews guys! They help me know what you make of the story and where you want it to go. Keep it up! ;)

Chapter 10

Zara felt pain like never before. She had heard labour pains were pretty excruciating but this seemed to surpass it not that she had experienced it.

Zara covered her mouth to contain her scream. Her chest and stomach felt like it was getting ripped apart. Why was that? She had hurt her back not her stomach and chest.

Sam heard her and scrambled up the stairs. Some of the guys were over for lunch and they heard as well but decided to give them space. Emily followed Sam though.

Sam looked at the small girl curled into a ball on the floor and rushed to her.

"Zara...what's wrong?"

"My chest, stomach..."she gasped out. It hurt to talk.

Sam frowned. Fully aware of what was happening and why. Obviously Jacob had done something to abuse their bond. When would he learn? Sam was upset. She was a tiny girl and seeing her like this angered him.

"Oh God! Zara! What's wrong?" Emily was near tears.

She started to try and get her up and Sam helped. They got her in bed but she curled up again as if in extreme pain and agony. They shared a look and Emily was just as upset as Sam. He was so stupid. Always making wrong decisions. It wasn't wrong to have a girlfriend but there was the risk of imprinting and Jake knew that. But he was so self assured that he believed he wouldn't imprint. Emily had always been wary of Bella and her reasons to be with Jake. Call it a woman's intuition but she never really liked her or believed her when she had tried to convince Jake that she was over Edward. Jake the stupid pup was overjoyed though and had believed her. It had always been easy for her to pull his strings. But a poor innocent girl was falling victim to them and their actions. Emily decided they needed to talk to him. Soon. She would not let Zara suffer because of two stupid people. They had to find a way out for her at least. Emily wished with all her heart for the imprint to reverse itself somehow. It wasn't fair to Zara at all. Not that it was fair to Jake but at least he had known the risk he was taking. Zara was completely unaware.

She looked at her to see tears streaming down her face and she seemed to be passed out from the pain. She made a mental note to ask Kim to get her something to help her sleep through all this. She wanted to help her as much as she could.

She looked up to see Sam with a murderous expression on his face. At least she wouldn't need to convince him to take a bite out of Jacob.

Sam motioned for her to follow him out. Emily watched affectionately as Sam gently covered Zara with a blanket and brushed back her hair. He would make a great dad.

They reached the living room to find most wolves had left for their work or patrol but Embry was there. He was at work but then he had heard from the others what had happened and came to check in on Zara.

"How is she?" He asked worried

"How do you think she is? Your friend is a stupid, stupid man! She looked like she was about to die!" Emily bellowed.

"You're targeting the wrong man, Emily. I don't support his actions or decisions. He's being stupid. Everyone knows you can't avoid an imprint but he is an asshole and a very stubborn man. Trust me if it were me, Zara would never have to go through this!" Embry said upset. He liked her and Jake was wrong to put her through this. He could have at least tried to get to know her. He knew what denying the imprint would do to her. Embry was sure he wasn't feeling too good either. And while Embry put up with Bella, he didn't really like her. Nobody in the pack did. Everybody knew the trouble she had caused before but this was different. This was impacting an imprint's life.

"Can't you alpha order him or something?" Embry asked

"I can't do that. If anything it would make him resent the bond even more. That's not a good idea." Sam said shaking his head.

"We need to tell her. We need to tell her what's happening and why. She deserves to know. I would need to call Alvin if she doesn't get better and that won't end well. He would want to take her back. He is a good father." Emily said thoughtfully.

Sam looked like he was contemplating her words.

"She's right, Sam. She needs to know. Zara deserves to know." Embry said firmly. He loved his buddy but someone's life was on the line.

Sam looked at his wife and his brother. They both were convinced that this was the right thing to do. He nodded and prayed for it to go well.

AN: Who thinks it's a good idea for them to tell her? What will Jake's reaction be when he finds out Zara knows?
