A/N: Thank you to my lovely guest review from chapter 8 this chapter should help clarify things. To sarahmichellegellarfan1, yes Alec is a boys name, but it's only a nick name. In chapter 11 you will find out her full name. You guys are awesome for helping me grow as a writer. Please keep up the R&R.

When my eyes fluttered open the next morning a smile spread over my lips remembering the night before. Things had gone a little fast last night, but it was an unforgettable night none the less. The house was too quiet for anyone to be here and that worried me a bit. I hadn't intended to sleep in late enough to miss everyone, but I had been tired. The upside of no one being home was that there was no wait for the bathroom or having to rush out for someone else.

I just finished eating lunch when Jake and Ness walked in looking slightly nervous. They offered smiles, but asked me to go with them to the Cullens to have a little chat. When we got there everyone was waiting in the living room for us and Esme gave me a hug. I sat down beside Jasper and waited for them to start asking their questions. My mind couldn't come up with a reason for this visit, but I'm sure that it was important. Ness didn't seem to be the type that got nervous that easily, unless it was serious. Carlisle finally stood up and spoke softly, trying not to appear to intimidating.

"We just wanted to ask you a few questions if that's alright. Bella has given us some insight, but we just want to be sure."

I nodded looking confused. "Okay."

"We are a bit concerned that you were so quick to recognize us. Are we to obvious about ourselves?"

"What? No, I'm just a sci-fi geek. I read everything I can about this kind of stuff. You guys are good don't worry about that. I mean sure people think you guys are a little different, but no one will be yelling Vamps anytime soon."

Carlisle glanced at Edward and Jasper as they both nodded and then he nodded as well with a smile. Just like that everything was fine and everyone was relaxed again as if there hadn't been a problem moments ago. Then Jasper frowned at me and leaned in closer to me and sniffed a few times. Suddenly Emmett and Jake had Jasper pinned to the wall and Esme had me behind her protectively. The whole house held it's breath for a moment before Edward stepped forward to explain everything. Apparently there had been an incident with Bella a few years ago where Jasper almost hurt her.

This time Jasper had only been trying to figure out a scent that was different on me. Jasper was let go and the others found the scent on me rather interesting too. I sniffed my arm and couldn't smell any different, but they all could smell whatever was different. No one could place what was wrong with my scent though it was enough to worry Carlisle. He ran some tests while I was there and promised to inform us as soon as he got the results back. With nothing else to do Jake drove me and Ness to Sam's before going to take his shift.

Embry wasn't at Sam's when we walked in and that was odd for me. I was so used to Embry being there whenever I showed up or him coming to find me. It was almost dinner and I hadn't heard from him all day and no one offered any information on him. They did however notice my scent change as well by the way that they stopped what they were doing. They all sniffed the air and exchanged looks, but didn't mention it. It wasn't until dinner that Embry finally walked into the house and greeted me with a large grin.

There was a bit of awkwardness between the two of us, but it wasn't enough to be overly noticeable. Today I sat in between Rachael and Ness with Embry and Leah across the table from me. Leah was more silent then normal and continued to stare at me as if she were trying to figure something out. Whenever I caught her eye she would look at her food for a few minutes before turning her attention back to me. There was definitely something going on, but whatever it was would pop up eventually. Until then all I could do was push it into the back of my mind.

The next few days went by without much excitement or anything to really write home about so to speak. Embry went back to work, so I saw less of him now and school had started. My birthday had come and gone and no one had been the wiser about any of it. I wasn't ready to handle a special day dealing with the painful reminders of everything that had happened. My mother and that man had definitely been far from perfect, but it still hurt to think of them. So I stayed silent about my birthday and prayed that between Edward's talent and Bella's intuition about me they wouldn't bring it up either.

It was almost the end of October and the upset stomach was getting more noticeable and starting to effect my school work. The results had come back with nothing wrong, but my scent stayed the same and Carlisle continued to keep an eye on me. My time of the month was currently nowhere to be seen and my clothes had gotten a little tighter. The idea of pregnancy had been on my mind for the last week and it was driving me crazy. We were much too young for something like this and especially since Embry and I had gotten a little distant lately. Between me being in school and Embry working all the time it was hard to get some alone time.

He had started sneaking in my window at night like Paul did with Rachael which I was grateful for. It was really the only time we got alone and it wasn't really alone since Paul and Jake could hear everything. There wasn't too much excitement in the shape shifter work world, but I had since learned that Sam always expected the worst. We spent time at Sam and Emily's with everyone and that was fun don't get me wrong, but alone time was good. This was exactly why I was faking/not so faking sick to leave school early to go see Embry. He had finished patrol about ten minutes ago and would be just getting out of the shower just about now. The thought put a smile on my face as I jogged a little faster to get there before he went back to Sam's.

As if reading my mind Embry opened his front door with wet hair and cut off shorts. There was a look of surprise and knowing on his face which was pretty amusing to see. Regardless I kissed him with a smile and followed him in the house as he asked me what was going on. By my grin he caught my meaning and rolled his eyes telling me it wasn't good to miss school. My lips drowned out his words until he was kissing me back, wrapping his arms around my waist. Things got hot and heavy as we made it up to his room and let the passion take over again. It didn't take long after snuggling that my stomach got the best of me and tossed my cookies in the bathroom.

This of course caught Embry's attention and in his worry refused to brush it off no matter how much I begged. He brought me to Sam's first where it was brought up that I missed school. That earned me a lecture from the Sam until Embry brought up the reason that he had brought me here in the first place. Ness was only too happy to call her house to see if Carlisle was there or not. Much to my relief he was so that we didn't have to go to the hospital and make a bigger deal out of this. Leah, despite disliking the Cullen's insisted to go with us as soon as Embry explained that I had been sick. She had gotten the light bulb look and stared at me with the 'are you sure' look. I could only shrug in response since I knew what she was asking, but couldn't be certain.

Carlisle met us at the front door with Edward close behind him much to my dislike. I had been avoiding going to visit the Cullen's because I didn't want Edward to read my mind and figure out what I had been worrying about. Pregnant at sixteen was not something that parents were proud of and definitely not something that I was ready for. Before I even stepped in the front door Edward was sporting his disappointed father face. They had apparently spoken before we got there because Carlisle already knew what to ask and what to test for. They also had sniffed me and nodded to each other before calling Embry into the room. Embry looked worriedly at me as Carlisle asked him to sit down before sitting down himself and took a deep breath.

"I would like to make an appointment for next week just to make sure, but the results came back positive. You're pregnant."
