Holy cow! Two updates!

This chapter won't be entirely my idea. I love Boy Meets World so I borrowed some quotes from an episode called She's Having My Baby Back Ribs. I also have one quote from Cheaper By the Dozen 2. It's my favorite quote from the entire movie. Hmm… I wonder what quote THAT will be. Oh well. I suppose you'll just have to read on in order to find out.

Chapter Ten

Month Four

I had been out of school for nearly a month now and I was slowly beginning to show. Renee had already sent me a bunch of cute shirts for mommies-to-be. Alice would be proud of Renee. Definitely Alice worthy.

But today was an interesting day.

Charlie had decided to go fishing with Harry Clearwater and Billy so that put me with a bunch of overgrown boys at Emily's house. She hadn't been up to cooking today so we ordered pizza. Jacob and Quil had busied themselves with video games as we waited for the pizza. The rest of the pack were desperately tried to coax Emily into cooking something for the wait. All I could sit back was laugh. It was nice being a wolf girl and no longer called the vampire girl.

Embry and Jared walked in with the pizzas only ten minutes later and most of them were gone except my box that I had ordered specifically for me.

Pepperoni, Cheese, Pineapple, Peppers, Anchovies, Chocolate and Sardines. Yum.

"I'm not kissing you for a month if you eat that," Jacob said with amusement in his voice. I glanced at him about to take my first bite but then suddenly lost my appetite. He flashed me a grin before disappearing back into the living room to play more video games.

I glanced at Embry. "Embry, do you think I'm fat?"

He looked up at me with a slice of pizza hanging from his mouth. "Yeah," he replied. He pointed at my box of pizza. "You gonna finish that?" I shrugged and handed him my box of pizza. "Thanks."

My craving suddenly disappeared and I grimaced as Embry devoured it. How could I even think about eating that? "You know," I began to Embry. "You've packed on a few pounds too."

He shrugged. "That's alright. You've heard of the freshman fifteen."

I raised an eyebrow in his direction. "That's college and you're only a junior in high school."

"Wait a minute," Embry said dropping two slices of pizza back in its box. "Two years times fifteen pounds, that's like…" He paused. A look of concentration crossed his face. "That's 300 EXTRA POUNDS?!"

"You're not that overweight, Embry."

"Oh come on. I see the way the girls flock to Jacob and his six percent body fat and ignore me and my seventy percent flab. What am I gonna do? I mean I feel so alone."

"You're not alone and you don't have seventy percent flab."

"Oh that's right. YOU'RE FAT TOO!" He threw his arms around me in order to give me a hug.

"Well Embry, maybe we can help each other."

"Well how?" he asked, shoving more pizza into his mouth. "We're pigs."

"I'll set up the healthy eating plan and we'll give each other moral support. Like, if I want a candy bar I'll come to you."

"And then, we can share it."

"Nooo, you'll tell me not to eat it."

"And then, I get the whole thing!"

Poor, poor Embry. Such an idiot but a good werewolf. How does the pack deal with him?

"No, you'll grab it away from me and you'll put it in the trashcan," I explained. He looked at me, confused. "Embry, are you with me or not?"

"Alright, alright but you can't tell anybody that we're dieting, alright? It's embarrassing."

"Absolutely. I promise, not a word," I told him.

He grinned, pleased that I would make such a promise. "Not a word," he confirmed.

I stood and walked into the living room. It was becoming stuffy in here from all the werewolves.

"See ya, Fatty!" I heard Embry call after me.

Jacob's POV

"See ya, Fatty!" Embry called after Bella. I looked up from slaying vampires to see Bella give a slight wave. I glanced from the kitchen to Bella. There was no way she could have eaten already.

"I'll be right back," I told Quil. He gave a grunt and nod as I stood and went to the kitchen. There Embry was, no longer eating pizza but stuffing his face with something else he found in Emily's kitchen. "Embry," I growled. He looked up at me with fear in his eyes. "Can I have a word with you for a minute." Embry didn't move from his spot. I can only assume that he was terrified. "Please."

He nodded and quickly jumped out of his seat. "What's up?" he asked. His voice shook with fear.

"You called my pregnant girlfriend fat."

"She asked me if she was!"

"But she isn't."

"I know."

"Then why did you say she was?"

"I wanted her pizza."

I sighed, aggravated and grabbed him by the ear pulling him out the front door. We found Bella sitting on the steps of the porch, looking out towards the forest. "Hey," I greeted sitting down beside her. She turned and smiled to me. Embry stood cautiously behind us. "Embry has something to say."

Bella looked over her shoulder at Embry. He gave her a smile before saying, "You're not fat. You're hot. I only said you were fat so you'd give me your pizza."

For a few minutes, Bella looked like she had forgiven Embry before she stood and slapped Embry hard across the face. My eyes widened and I covered my mouth with my hand to keep myself from laughing. Good thing he wasn't expecting it or she probably would have had to pay a visit to the emergency room.

"What was that for?" Embry asked, rubbing his cheek.

Bella glared, poking Embry repeatedly in the chest. "You just pissed off a severely hormonal pregnant woman!" And with that, she stocked off.
