Emily's POV

Jacob and I ended up in sitting in the car in the Black's driveway. Jacob was to shaken up to go inside and to be honest, I was too.

"What are we going to tell my dad?!" Jacob looked over at me from the drivers seat.

I laid my hand on his shoulder. "The truth." I told him. "What else are we going to tell him? Its not like we can lie about it."

I swore Jacob muttered that we could but I choose to ignore it.

"Hell! What about Sam and Leah?!"

"I don't know." I whispered at that one.

"What about the rest of the pack then?!"

I had to laugh softly at that. "Well, the rest of the pack will probably be ecstatic. Especially Seth. Paul will act like he just won't care, probably..."

"Em!" Jacob cut me off.

"What Jake?" I sighed, frowning a little.

"How can you be so calm about this?!"

I layed my head on his shoulder. "I'm really not." I whispered. "But the things your saying right now are not my worst concerns. We are going to go inside and tell your dad calmly about this and he'll understand. I'm not saying he might not be a little upset, but he'll understand. Sam and Leah can think whatever they want, because whatever they do think, they cant do anything to change it and it really isn't their problem anyways. And like I said, the rest of the pack will be happy for us."

Jacob was stroking my hair all the way through my speech but when I was done, he sighed heavily. "Sam and Leah can make our lives a living hell!" He exclaimed. "And you know that!"

It was my turn to sigh. "Yeah, I know." I agreed quietly. Sam could do things I couldn't even imagine to Jacob as his alpha and Leah...well my cousin always had the gift of getting under my skin. "But... they are not the ones we need to worry about first. My only concerns right now is your father and the health of our baby."

"But the doctor said it was healthy!" I could tell just by the look in Jacob's eyes that I just started something.

"Yes." I nodded. "He did. For now."

"Jesus Christ Em!" Jacob exclaimed.

I took my head of his shoulder and looked at him.

He was silent for a few minutes. "I cant be a father this young." He finally moaned.

"Well, I don't think you have a choice." I frowned back at him.

I ended up talking to Billy myself. Jacob got out of the car and muttered that he was going to go phase so I let him and went inside.

Billy was in the kitchen, looking at the door as if he was waiting for us. "Hey Emily. Where's Jacob?" was his first question.

"Um...he's out in the forest." I responded setting my purse on the table.

"Patrol?"

"I don't think so." I shook my head. "I think he just needed to run for a while."

Billy frowned. "Why?"

I hesitated with one of my own frowns.

"Em...why?" He asked again. "You're worried. I can tell. What did the doctor say?"

I frowned. "You hungry?" I asked turning to the stove, which everyone knows was my go to thing when I'm nervous, Billy included.

"No, not yet anyways." He reached out and touched my arm. "Emily. I'm not a fool. The doctor told you something that's causing you to act weird and my son not to even come home, now I would like to know what it is."

I looked at him, sighed and sat down at the kitchen table, all while being more conscious of my stomach. Billy watched me as I sat there, waiting patiently, nothing but warmth in his eyes. What I told Jacob was going to be true. He wasn't going to be upset, was he? I bite my lip. "So...you are going to be a...grandfather." The words came tumbling out of my mouth as I bit my lip for the second time.

"A grandfather?" Billy echoed. "The doctor...? Your pregnant?"

I nodded slowly.

A smile appeared on his lips along with a chuckle. "You look so scared, Emily."

I managed a frazzled smile. "Well, that's why Jacob is in the woods right now...he's scared."

Billy sighed. "Which doesn't help you..." He averted his gaze from me for a little to glance out the kitchen window as if he was expecting Just his gaze alone to bring Jacob out of the trees. He sighed again. "Don't worry I'll get him to talk."

The talk with Billy wasn't as long or as frightening as Jacob was making it seem like, or how I honestly was scared it was going to be. He was happy. Not so much at the 'his son got a girl isn't married to pregnant' thing, but Billy knew we were responsible enough to take care of it. Billy knew me, and knew the last thing I would do is let Jacob get away with abandoning us.

I stayed around the house with him for an hour, keeping myself busy with kitchen work and Jacob still didn't show up. Billy said he would have called Sam to tell Jake to come home but he didn't want to start any needless drama. I was thankful for that. I knew at some point, Sam and Leah were going to find out, that I was gong to have to tell them, but today just wasn't that day. I needed some more time for myself before I started broadcasting it all over the village.

But when I got done making the food, and mumbled to Billy that I was going to rest, I realized that was really the last thing I needed. I layed my head just barely down on one of Jacob's pillows before I was up again, telling myself that it was a bad thing to just sit here and think and stress myself out, especially without Jacob here to calm me down.

I needed something useful to do, constructive.

I was out the door mumbling a quick goodbye to Billy before I decided to walk to the beach. Why not? It was a nice day and the beach always had a calming affect on me ever since Leah and I were teenagers.

As I stepped onto the sandy ground and made my way over to the rock I always loved I realized that I wasn't alone. Someone else obviously wanted to be alone today too and it briefly made me wonder if I should go find somewhere else, but after staring at my cousin for a few minutes, I decided against it and if he wanted me to leave, he would ask me to.

"Hey Seth." I greeted quietly, coming to sit down in the sand besides him. He was facing the water with his feet getting wet. As I sat parallel to him, my toes barely made it in the water after I kicked my shoes off. I briefly wondered if I would ever get used to my baby cousin not quite looking like my baby cousin anymore.

He looked up glumly. "Oh, Hey Em. For a second there I thought you were one of the guys."

"One of the guys?" I chuckled. "Wow. I'm not sure if I should be offended by that or not."

When he didn't respond, I frowned and pulled him into a sideways hug. "Im sorry." I whispered. "So sorry."

"I know." He muttered. "I came out here to be alone."

I was somewhat startled by the last statement. So what? Two seconds ago it was fine but...?

"I did too." I sighed. "But it looks like neither of us got what we wanted, did we? And besides I don't think it's such a good idea for either of us to be alone right now."

"Well, if that's the case, Go home to Jacob."

The statement made me cringe.

Seth rolled his eyes. "Oh, come on, Em. Everyone knows about you two. Do you really think that Leah would keep the fact that you moved in with him and is out of 'Sam's and her's hair' a secret?"

I shook my head, cursing Jacob. "No. Not really."

"Good. Because she's sure isn't hiding it. Now, can you leave me alone? Please?"

I started to get up. If Seth really wanted to be alone, who was I to stop him? Who was I? His own cousin that hasn't spoken a word to him since his father died? And for what reason? All because I was to wrapped up in Jacob and my own self pity to notice. "I have something to tell you first though." I sat back down fully.

"If it's bad news, I really don't want to know." He wasn't looking at me, but instead still staring out into the waves grumpily.

"Its not bad...I don't think it is anyways. Jacob seems to think it is though." I frowned. "But...I guess I was kind of hoping you wouldn't think so."

He finally looked at me after a couple minutes of silence. "Whats up, Em?" He frowned, his concern now apparent. "I swear if Jake-"

"Jacob didn't do anything." I hurriedly assured. "Well, he did...but..."

"Just spit it out, Em." Seth moved closer to me in comfort.

"I'm-Im pregnant." I finally spat out quietly.

There was a good couple of beats before Seth even responded with anything more then his slightly concerned frown he had before I told him. I was about to just get up and walk away when a slow lopsided grin spread across his face. "Really? So I'm going to be a uncle?" He asked skipping the whole complicated cousin stuff.

"You are." I nodded letting my own grin slide across my face. I told someone, and I didn't die and they don't hate me. Maybe this will be okay after all, but then again...it was Seth and Seth would be happy for me even if it was in the worst situation possible.

"Wait...it is Jacob's right? I mean, its not Sam's or anyone else's right?"

I shook my head. "Thankfully, no. It's not Sam's." I shivered, thinking about the possibility. Leah would probably skin me alive.

"Good." He nodded. "Because then I would have been worried."
