Chapter 13

"Use Protection"

"Hello, is this really Jenna?" I heard Kim ask.

"Yeah, where's Embry?" I asked slightly disappointed he didn't answer.

"Well there's a lot going on right now and he had to leave. But I'm in charge of his phone in case something like this happens. He told me I had to find him if you called or anything, but Jared told me that I must absolutely stay inside, so I have no idea what to do!" She said frantically.

"Calm down, stay inside, and just tell him later," I said trying to hide my emotions. Really I just wanted her to race around town until she found him, but if it was really dangerous than I couldn't let her do that.

"We all miss you Jenna, a lot," she said sadly. "I can't believe it's been almost five months."

I just nodded my head even though she couldn't see me. I felt the tears begin to roll down my face.

"Kim, I need to go," I said.

"Ok, I'll tell him you called. Bye," she said softly and then hung up. Maybe I should have begged her to stay on the phone until he came back, oh well.

I continued to stare at the ceiling until my eyes lids finally began to droop.

"Are you sure you want to know?" Bayleigh asked as we drove to the doctor's office.

It's been six months since I have seen Embry. Six months for me to watch my stomach grow, always knowing he has a part of me. Six months to deepen my self-hatred. Six months of being miserable.

After I talked to Kim he never called. I waited, still do, every night. But not a thing.

"We have to decorate, which means I need to know," I said as Bayleigh parked.

I spaced out as they did the normal things, like checking my blood pressure and the baby's heart. I didn't start paying attention until we were going to start the ultrasound. Sure, they've done it before, but I would look away, trying to not believe it was real.

"Ok you sure?" Bay asked for what felt like the billionth time.

"Yes," was all I was able to whisper.

I stared at the monitor suddenly terrified of what I would see.

Then I saw the little hand as the doctor pointed it out and my heart stopped.

My little baby.

The doctor started talking again, but I blocked him out. Nothing he had to say was more important than my little baby.

But suddenly everything became overwhelming. Maybe because I could kind of hear what the doctor was saying or finally seeing the baby. And then I was consumed by darkness.

"Are you sure she's ok?" I heard Bayleigh ask. I still didn't want to open my eyes because everything would feel real again.

"This happens often and she will come around in a few minutes," I heard the doctor say.

"Do something," Bayleigh commanded sounding worried.

"I can't, just give her a few minutes," he said gently.

I tried to open my eyes, but my brain had a different plan. But finally I forced my eyes open.

"Jenna, are you ok?" Bay asked as she raced over to me.

"Yeah," I said simply.

"Everything looks wonderful, but you should take it easy the next few days. Just relax," he said before leaving.

I started to stand up, but Bayleigh pushed me back down.

"Maybe I should carry you," she said.

"Are you stupid? I'm fine, just a little overwhelmed," I said standing up again.

Bay refused to let go of me until I was safely in the car.

"So," she said breaking the silence.

"Yeah"

"I have a date tonight," she said.

"Is this code for you want the apartment to yourself?" I asked with a smile.

"No, just wanted to tell you," she said.

The rest of the ride was silent, but we finally made it back to the apartment. Bay, once again, assisted me into the living room on the couch.

"I'm getting everything you need so you don't have to move," she said as she went to another room.

"That's not possible. I pee a lot," I said. I heard her laugh.

"And if I could I would bring the bathroom to you also, but seeing as that would be difficult, I decided against it," she said walking back into the living room, her arms full of things.

"What the hell is all of that?" I asked staring at her.

"Language, young lady," she said shaking her head.

"Sometimes I feel like you're the pregnant one. Back to the subject," I said.

"I know you have been getting some cravings, so I brought you all the fruit we own, blankets, chick-flicks, and tissues because you are a crazy hormonal pregnant woman," she said with a smile.

"My cravings have been goldfish and twislers," I said.

"Yes, but this is much better," she said sitting next to me.

"Why would you combine chick-flicks with a crazy hormonal pregnant woman?" I asked staring at the Notebook.

"Because I know you love to cry, even if you deny it," she said patting my knee.

"I thought you had a date?" I stated.

"I do," she said looking down.

"Then why are you wearing sweats?" I asked slightly confused.

"Well, I plan on spending the night cuddling on the couch watching horribly romantic movies and dropping hints that he should act like that. And then hopefully, he'll take me to his room and will confess our undying love for each other and make love to each other passionately," she said with a long sigh. I playfully smacked her arm and rolled my eyes.

She looked over at the clock. "I need to leave, but do you need anything?"

"You brought me the kitchen, what more could I ask for?" I said staring at the food around me.

"Just making sure, call me if you need anything, love you," she said giving me a quick hug.

"One thing," I began as she pulled away.

"Yes," she responded looking around the room for something.

"Well things sound like they're getting serious, I need to meet this man," I said teasing her.

"Of course, bye" she said walking out of the room.

"Use protection!" I yelled when I heard her open the door.

So with that I settled into the couch and turned on the Notebook.

About half way through, my eyes became heavy and I started thinking about Embry. Six months is plenty of time to move on, right? But he said he imprinted on me. He can't just take that back, can he?

I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard someone beating frantically on the door. I got off the couch as quickly as possible and raced over to answer the door.

"I'm coming,. Jeez, relax!" I yelled when I was insight of the door. But whoever it was would not calm down.

Finally I threw open the door and instantly felt those familiar warm hands that I would know anywhere, around me.

I'm sorry for such the wait, but life kind of hit me hard. I promise not to make you wait that long. I plan on updating at least two more times until I go back to school, which is Tuesday. So this is really hard to right now since I've never been pregnant, so any pointers or anything would help! THANKS!

Don't forget to review please!!
