"Is that my little niece or nephew in there?" Jackson asked. Noelle and Dr. Haynes looked from the ultrasound of a lima bean shaped baby to her baby.

"Yup, that's him or her." Dr. Haynes said. "When it's appropriate, would you like to know the sex of the baby?"

"No, I want to be surprised," Noelle answered.

"Please I wanna know, Noe."

"Shush Jackson I wanna be surprised and it's my baby so what I say goes. Dr. Haynes even if he asks you, please don't tell him because he can't keep a secret to save his life."

"Okay I won't I promise. Well everything looks okay here so you can put on your shirt after the gel's wiped off and I think we've covered just about everything."

"Thank you Dr. Haynes," Noelle said.

"No problem. You can schedule the next appointment with my secretary."

"All right see you then." The doctor, Deborah Haynes, left leaving the siblings alone in the cold hospital room in silence. After a short while, Noelle wiped the gel off she put her shirt down and got off the table. They left quietly and got in Noelle's car. Before long the silence was deafening to Jackson and he had to say something.

"Are you going to keep it?" he asked.

"I guess," Noelle said after a while. She was concentrating on the road. "I mean what other option do I have? I'm not killing my kid and I'm not giving away for some stranger to fuck it up."

"Well maybe you should look at adoption."

"Jackson I'm not giving up my kid, all right!"

"Okay Noe geesh I just think you should look at all of your options."

"Well, I have and I've decided," said Noelle.

"But you have so much potential and there are so many things you can do that you couldn't do if you had a baby."

"Look we're not talking about this anymore, got it! I'm fucking hungry." A few minutes later she pulled into a nearby 7/11 and got out of the car. "You want anything?" she asked her brother.

"Just something sweet. Actually never mind I'll come with you." He got out the car and she locked the doors and they went inside the convenience store. She immediately went over to the Slurpee section and grabbed a John Cena cup. She was her favorite wrestler because he had good looks, was dedicated to his work, always entertaining and shared the same birthday as her – April 23rd. He was a keeper for sure. She got a mix of Coca-Cola and Pina Colada Slurpee. Grabbed a box of donuts and Doritos while Jackson grabbed an Arizona Iced Tea and Twinkies. He paid and they were all set to go. They got back in the car and Noelle drove to the reservation in silence both tense after the baby talk. Quite frankly, it scared Noelle and she had no idea what she was going to do but she didn't want to think about it until it was really time to make a decision. Well, first she needed to figure how – no, if she was even going to tell Jake. Decisions, decisions.

The next day Noelle got up early and left the house before Jackson woke. Her mother hadn't gotten off of her evening shift at the hospital and Noelle wanted some alone time. She drove all around neighboring cities where she went around looking for jobs. She needed a job before, but now that she was bringing a life into this world, she definitely needed a job. Since no one was hiring, Noelle was starting to get desperate wanting to take anything that would hire, but she wanted to work in a clothing store one because she had retail experience and two because she could get discounts for her, her child or both depending upon where she ended up working. By the time she had gone around in 3 towns LaPush, Forks and Port Angeles it was five thirty in the afternoon and she was exhausted, nauseous and hungry. Her phone rang for the umpteenth time that day. It was Jake pleading with her to at least talk things out. She hadn't talked to him in a few days which was when she caught Bella in Jake's kitchen and she didn't know what she would say to him. Unfortunately for her, Monday was looming around the corner and she'd see him in school but she would try to avoid all interaction with him if she could.

Monday rolled around and she drove up to the tribal school. She shut off the engine and sat behind the wheel staring at the building. She saw some of the guys from the pack who were still enrolled in school waiting on the steps for the rest of them to arrive. She stared at them until she made eye contact with Embry first who elbowed Jake in the arm. Jacob and Noelle suddenly made eye contact and she lost her nerve. She pulled out of the parking lot deciding that today she was going to go home, think about things and maybe try the school thing again tomorrow. She put her Nissan Versa in drive and sped out the school parking lot.

A little ways down the road Noelle heard the roar of a motorcycle engine and could see a motorcycle barreling down the road toward her. It didn't look like it was going to stop so before she freaked out she moved into the right lane on the otherwise empty street. The motorcycle behind her moved into the right lane as well and it was gaining speed. "What the fuck?" she sighed to herself getting nervous. She switched lanes a few more times and to no avail the motorcycle didn't stop following her. "This is seriously messed up," she said to herself as she pulled over on the road without warning to let the motorcyclist go. Instead of continuing the motorcycle pulled up right beside her now parked car on the side of the road. The cyclist took off his helmet. "Jacob?" she asked not quite sure if she was actually seeing him.

"Yeah, I tried to get you to slow down before but you kept driving."

"Well you scared me I thought you were a psycho driver or something."

"No, I'm just me," he said with a small smile.

"Yeah…well aren't you supposed to be in school or something?"

"I could ask you the same thing." Jacob put his helmet on the handlebars and looked back at his maybe-girlfriend.

"Why are you here?" Noelle asked ignoring Jacob's statement.

"Because you won't talk to me."

"Well Jake you were cheating on me and I'm not going to be played for a fool."

"I wasn't cheating on you, she was just living with me for a little bit of time until she moved back to Dartmouth at the end of March."

"That's a great story Jake," said Noelle.

"It's true Noelle. Apparently there are vampires that are out there to get her and everyone was too reluctant to take her in so I did."

"Jacob Black saves the day whoo hoo!" Noelle deadpanned.

"Please don't be like this."

"Like what? My normal sarcastic self? I don't appreciate half naked girls walking around your kitchen while you're shirtless. It looks a little suspicious to me so forgive me if I'm not happy to see you at the moment right now."

"Why are you doing this?"

"Doing what?"

"Being an jerk Noelle!" Jacob yelled.

"Because I'm pregnant by a guy who's screwing around with a flakey pale chick who has an ex-boyfriend as a vampire. It's a little weird for me to wrap my head around it all and the entire situation is pissing me off!" Noelle clasped her hand to her mouth after admitting what she didn't want to, not to anyone or even herself - her pregnancy. Jacob stared at her for a while as he digested what she said. She thought he was cheating on her, but the worst part was she was pregnant. He couldn't form any words or even think.

"I-I think we need to talk," Jake finally said.

"That's what we've been doing for the past five minutes."

"No I think we need to have a real talk face-to-face as soon as possible. We need to talk about our options."

"We don't have to talk about anything, I'm taking care of this myself."

"The hell you are!" Jacob yelled. She looked at him in astonishment because he barely yelled and got angry. He wasn't his happy self anymore, but he was a kid who morphed into angry outburst. What had she done to him? At her realization, Noelle began to cry – damn hormones! She cried and cried finally letting it all out. Crying because she's pregnant, her dreams of college would probably be lost, her mother would be devastated, she can't find a job, Jacob was playing house with Bella, Jackson spends more time with the pack than his sister (according to Noelle) and she was scared shitless and had no one to turn to. Finally when she was finished, Jacob reached for his helmet feeling weird not being able to comfort his maybe-girlfriend while she bawled her eyes out, which she hated doing. "Drive to my house," Jake instructed putting on his helmet. "Dad's not home and we're gonna talk about everything and we won't leave until everything is resolved and out in the open."

"Fine." Noelle finished sniffing and wiping her eyes although dried tears were already staining her face. Jacob drove off soon after that and Noelle followed. Before long, Noelle pulled up in front of Jake's small and rather dilapidated house. It was a house that she called a second home for a while before it became a plethora of bad memories and reminded her of a stranger. She put her car in park and cut off the ignition stepping outside of her car.

She was getting ready to face the music.
