The next month was great. We booked the church, ordered invitations, and picked colors for the wedding. We still hadn't gotten the guest list figured out. That was going to take some coordination with Steph. I was at home alone ,everyone else was at work, looking at wedding dresses on the computer, when their was a knock on the door. I answered the door and there was Joey.
"What are you doing here?" I said
"Don't sound so happy." he said " I came to talk about the guest list."
"Don't give me that shit. If that's all it was you would have just called." I said
"Okay you got me. I want to see you. I missed you. I mean we went from seeing eachother everyday to not at all in a day." he said looking at me "You going to let me in? I'm getting soaked out here."
"Yeah come in. I missed you too, but it was easier that way." I said "Let me get you some dry clothes."
"Thanks." he said smiling
I walked to the closet where Adam kept ther spare slothes. Then lead him to my bedtoom because it was closest. He stripped out of his wet clothes. I sat on the bed with my back to him as he did.
"I'm happy you know. Ben is great and we're going to be parents." I said smiling " he doesn't know yet though."
"Really? That's great, 'm happy for you." he said but I could hear the hurt in his vioce. As he sat on the bed to put on the sweatpants, Ben walked in. I jumped off the bed
"It's not what it looks like." I said
"Yeah I bet." he said turning around and walking out
"Ben wait. Nothing happened. His clothes were wet, he was just changing." I said running after him
"Yeah right. I can see, I do have eyes." He said slamming the truck door
"Ben listen to me." I cried
he just slammed the truck in reverse and tore out of the driveway. I stood there crying and warched til I couldn't see him anymore. Then I walked back into the house. Joey was waiting for me by the door
"ARE YOU HAPPY NOW? I S THIS WHAT YOU WERE TRYING TO DO?" I screamed at him "I JUST LOST EVERYTHING BECAUSE HE THINKS WE SCREWED."
"No I'm not. This isn't what I wanted at all. I just wanted to see my friend." he said
"Yeah well you could have called first. Things aren't the way they used to be." I said
"I know. I'm sorry." He said
"Well sorry isn't going to fix it." I said
He just stood there looking at the floor. I had my back turned to him. Adam walked in to see me wiping the tears off my face. He asked what was wrong so I told him everything that happened.
"Just give him time. He'll come around." he said "As for for the wolf aspect of the guest lists, I think half should go to your wedding and the other half to thiers."
"Sounds fair to me." said Joey
"How long are you staying in town?" Adam asked
"Only till tomorrow." Said Joey
"I will call Warren and see if you can stay there for the night. I would let you stay here, but under the circumstances I don't think that would be a good idea." said Adam pulling out his phone
"Yes sir." said Joey " I really am sorry. I hope everything works out."
"Yeah me too." I said and headed to my room.
I grabbed my phone and laid on my bed. I dialed Ben's number, but it went to voicemail. I left a message.
"Ben please call me back."
I waited an hour before I called him back. This time it didn't even ring just went straight to voicemail.
"Please Ben call me back,or text me, just talk to me please. I love you." I said crying
I cried myself to sleep hugging his pillow. I woke up at 7 am and checked my phone, but there was nothing. I called him again, but he didn't anwser again. I didn't leave a message this time though. I went into the kitchen and grabbed some poptarts and a pop. I went in the living room and sat on the couch. I turned on the Tv, but didn't watch it. I just stared not really seeing it. I was so out of it, I didn't even hear anyone come in until Ben touched my shoulder. I jumped up and turned to see who it was.
"Ben!" I shouted
"We need to talk." he said sitting down
"Yeah we do." I said
"Adam came over this morning. He told me what was going on yesterday." he said
"Yeah I tried to tell you." I said
"But before I talked to Adam when I still thought something happened, I ran into one of my exes. One thing lead to another and we ended up sleeping together." He said looking at the floor
"You what!?" I cried jumping up
"I slept with my ex." He said standing up and trying to put his hand on my waist
"Don't fucking touch me." I said moving out of his reach. "How could you Ben?"
"I was hurt and mad." He said "I know that's not a very good reason."
"No it's not." I said going to my room and grabbing my keys and phone
"What are you doing?"
"What does it look like?" I said wiping the tears off my face and walking to my car
"Where are you going to go?" He asked following me
"I don't know yet. I just have to get out of here." I said slamming the door and driving away
I got down the road a few miles and pulled over because I couldn't see through the tears and I had to throw up. I sat there for a while and tried to decide what to do. I finally decided to go to Warren's house. I was still crying when I pulled up to the house. I rang the bell and Kyle answered. He took one look at me and yelled for Warren. Then let me in and closed the door.
"Yeah who's at the door?" he asked coming to the top of the stairs. "Arianna what's wrong?" he jumped down the stairs in one leap and wrapped his arms around me
"Ben cheated on me." I said
"I thought you said he was a great guy?" said Joey walking into the room
"Fuck you Joey. This is all your fault." I said
'How is this my fault?" He asked
"None of this would've happened if you would have just called first." I said
"She has a point." Sadi Kyle
"What are you going to do?" asked Warren
"I don't know. Can I stay here for a while?" I asked looking at Kyle
"Of course you can. You can stay for as long as you need to." He said kissing the top of my head
"Excuse me for a second." I said running to the bathroom to throw up again
I fell asleep on the couch for a couple of times. At around seven Kyle woke me up.
"You hungry?" he asked
"Yeah." I said rubbing my stomach
"What do you want?" he asked
"I could really go for a large taco pizza." I said "And some chocolate chip cookies."
"You got it." he said smiling
While we were waiting for the pizza, we sat at the kitchen table and ate cookies. When the pizza got there I ate the whole large taco by myself. On the third day, Kyle sat me down to talk while Warren was at Adam's for something.
"Honey what are you going to do?" He asked
"I don't know. What am I supposed to do? He slept with someone else." I said
"I think you need to forgive him. I forgave Warren for not telling me what he is and we weren't going to have a baby." he said looking at me with knowing eyes
"I know. Wait how the hell did you know?" I asked
"Sweetheart you've been sick every morning, you sleep all the time and you eat more than Warren. It was pretty easy to figure out and I'm assuming Ben doesn't know." he said smiling
"No he doesn't." I said
Just then Warren walked in, he stopped in the doorway and put his hands on his hips.
"I just saw Ben and let me tell you it took everything in me not to tell him myself,. That boy is a mess. The fist thing out of his mouth was "Have you seen her? Is she ok?' I told him you were as good as can be expected. He is beating himself up. Adam said he won't eat and he doesn't hardly sleep. I've never seen him like this. He loves you and I know you love him. Now go talk to him before I put my foot in your preggo ass." he said
"Ok I will. I do miss him." I said getting up. I grabbed my keys and gave them both hugs. When I pulled into Adam's driveway I took a couple of deep breathes to calm myself down. I walked into the house.
"He's in the living room." said Adam
"Thanks." I said walking into the living room
"Ben can we talk?" I asked
"Yeah of course." he said
"Want to go outside?" I asked walking to the door. He didn't answer just followed me.
"Arianna I'm so sorry. I didn't mean to hurt you. I love you." he said
"I know you didn't mean for it to happen, and it's partly my fault. I shouldn't have let him change in my room." I said
"It's not your fault. It's mine. I didn't see anything but him without a shirt and pulling on pants. I jumped to conclusions. I didn't use my wolf sences." he said " Where do we go from here?"
"Well we forgive each other and move forward. We have to." I said touching my stomach
"You mean you aren't dumpning me?" He asked smiling
"No i'm not. I love you. Plus I can't because I'm pregnant." I said whispering the last two words
"What did you say?" he asked
"I love you." I said
"No not that part." he said
"I'm pregnant." I said sheepishly
"You're pregnant." he said slowly letting it sink in. a smile spreading across his face "I'm going to be a dad."
"Yes" I said
"I'm doing to be a dad!" he said excited. He picked me up and twirled me around
"You're happy, I take it." I said
"Of course I am." he said kissing me
"I was afraid you'd be upset." I said
"Why would I be upset? It's not like we were trying to prevent it." he said
"That's true." I said smiling
"So how far along are you?" he asked
"I don't know. My first doctor appointment is today at two." I said
"Who all knows?" he asked
"Joey, Warren, and Kyle. Only reason Joey knows is because I let it slip when I was telling him how great you are and home happy you make me." I said
"It's okay because I have something he never will. I have you." he said kissing me
