Alec's POV
"You're pregnant."
Those words just seemed to echo through me mind continuously like a broken record. My breath was stuck in my throat, my stomach flip flopped a couple times, and panic began to fill my mind. This was not part of my life plan, Embry and I had just gotten each other back. We hadn't even gone on a real date, or had those long talks we had been saying we would have. We had both changed since we were kids and talking about our time apart was something that we had been avoiding. That clearly had to change since we were having a child together.
Embry wasn't looking too good since the news either. He had paled several shades from his normal tan and was sweating profusely. He sat straight as a board just staring at the floor as if it were going to give him answers. Seeing Embry's reaction to the news made my stomach drop even more. I could only manage a mumble before numbly walking to the bathroom. It barely registered that someone was angry downstairs then a door slam closed. As if afraid to catch anyone's attention I pressed the door closed as softly as I could before crumbling to the ground.
The tears burned down my cheeks as everything swirled around in my head at once. How was I supposed to raise a child? How was I supposed to finish high school and give this baby a good life? What was Embry gonna do? His mother was going to kill us, and what was I supposed to tell Billy? And Jake,Rachael, Paul, and the others? What would they all think?
"Oh Alec."
Leah crooned closing the door behind herself, sat on the floor, and pulled me into a hug petting my hair. She let me cry into her shoulder promising that everything would work out and she would be here for me no matter what. When the tears stopped she dried my face, told me to get up and sort this out with Carlisle and Embry. In the hallway waiting outside the bathroom was Ness, Alice, Esme, Emmett and Jasper. Jasper swooped me up into his arms for a few seconds sending me waves of calm, which I greatly appreciated. The others gave me sad smiles as the followed me back to Carlisle's office where the others were minus Rosalie and Jake.
Embry was still in the same position he was when I left, but his head snapped to the door the moment I walked in. The next thing I knew Embry had me in his arms, holding me as if his life depended on it. The tears threatened to come back, but this time they were kept at bay. When Embry finally let me go, Carlisle cleared his throat and got down to business. He handed me a card with an appointment date and another with his card in case of questions. With a tense smile I thanked him and Edward for everything and turned to Bella still feeling helpless. She hugged me tightly promising to help out in any way that she could and the rest of the Cullen's agreed.
With that Leah drove Embry and I back to La Push in Jake's car and had promptly ignored my question about where Jake was. My question was soon answered when we pulled into our driveway and saw him and Paul. Both of them looked furious and were shaking slightly when they saw the car. Leah cursed and rushed both me and Rachael into the house without an explanation. Billy was at the kitchen table with his head in his hands staring at the table. Rachael sent my a sympathetic smile before sitting at the table and patting Billy's back. Tears again pricked my eyes, and my voice cracked as I spoke.
"Dad? I'm so sorry."
Billy didn't say a word, just nodded his head at me and gave me a weak smile opening his arms. I hugged him tightly still afraid of how he would react after the shock wore off of him. He held me for a long time before there was a knock on the door, and Charlie walked in. Billy pulled away and Charlie took his place for a few seconds and muttering that he 'shoulda known since Bella.' Bella had at least waited until after high school and marriage before having Ness even if she was young. I'm a lot younger than that and definitely didn't wait for either high school or marriage.
The men left promising to be back later, and that was that. They needed their own time to cope and so did the others. They all needed to be told if Jake hadn't already in his fit of anger like he had Rachael and Paul. Rachael had her arm around my shoulder as we walked out of the house to see the others had calmed down. Jake and Paul looked rather smug while Leah stood by Embry at the car trying to look at his new bruises. Bruises that hadn't been there before I went into the house to talk with Billy. Both boys at least looked ashamed at my glare while I made my way over to Embry. I lifted my hand up to his face, but he took a step back and spoke softly.
"It made them feel better. It's fine."
On the way to Sam and Emily's Embry kept me close to his side while Leah took my other side. The others would want to know what Carlisle found out as soon as we got there and what Jake had been so upset about. Just the thought of having to tell them and their reactions was enough to raise my stress levels. With a few deep breaths it seemed to help and Embry kissed the top of my head. Then we were walking through the front door, greeted by numerous pairs of questioning eyes.
"Well...Alec's pregnant." Embry stated.
For a full minute there was only one sound through out the house, everyone breathing. Then the house erupted into complete and utter chaos, everyone began speaking at once. Some in shock, others in confusion, and others in disappointment. Since there was so much at once no one was really being heard and no one was getting answers. Sam loudly called for everyone to be quiet and then pointedly looked at Embry and I for answers.
"I have an appointment for next week to make sure everything looks okay. We haven't really had a chance to let it all sink in, but I still plan on going to school on Monday."
"What were you thinking? Alectra is 15." Sam barked.
"I'm 16, I didn't want to deal with the painful memories so I just didn't mention my birthday. And clearly we hadn't been thinking and it's too late to change that now. Please don't be angry." My voice cracked again at the end.
Quil was the first one to get up and pull me into a hug before rubbing my tummy talking to it. He started with promising to be a good uncle and taking the baby to the beach like he had Clair. How they would play outside and would teach him how to be a joker. It made me feel better to know that not everyone was upset or disappointed with what had happened. Then everyone seemed to realize that this wasn't the time for lectures. The women all came to rub my tummy and start talking excitedly about baby showers, baby clothes, and everything that we would need to get.
Seth gave me a hug and slapped Embry on the back with a large grin on his face. Thankfully Embry's bruises were gone making me feel much better. Eventually even Sam, Jake, and Paul came to give me a hug and give some support. Sam still wasn't too happy, but told me that he would help any way that he could.
A/N: R&R let me know what you think.
