A/N: Hehe, another nail biter on that last chapter. Keep reading and reviewing!

"Well what is it?" Amanda asked after a moment of silence.
Embry swallowed hard, this was the bad part, that much was obvious.
"You girls," he whispered.
"What?" I asked, "They're after us? Why?"
"They want La Push," Embry said.
"What does that have to do with us?" Kim asked.
"They know that the easiest way to get rid of the pack is to get rid of.... You," he barely made the last part decipherable, "If they kill the imprints, the wolves are as good as dead. Even the ones that don't have imprints of their own, they will share the hurt of their brothers."
It all started to make sense to me. The wolves protect La Push, we are their everything, no us equals no them. But... "Have they ever thought of the fact that you guys would probably fight harder to avenge us?" I asked, "By the way how do you know for sure that its us they're after?"
"Good point Claire I doubt they've thought of that," Embry enthused, answering my first question, "And uh Edward, read ones mind," he continued, answering my second question.
Out of the corner of my eye, I could see Esme smiling fondly, when Embry mentioned Edward. It was amazing that she could love so much.
Panic ensued. Embry apologized for being the bearer of bad news before ducking back out to continue his patroling.
I sat in the corner pondering the new information. They want us. They want the imprints. Kill the imprints, kill the wolves, get La Push. Why do they want La Push? It's not like they hunt animals. There really aren't that many people hear. And what about the Cullens? The Cullens wouls still be able to fight them even if the wolves couldn't. They're risking their lives. And for what? I tiny little town that would all know what they really were? A place where a large, mature coven of vampires lived, that could easily take them down? I didn't understand.
Apparently no one else did either; they all looked like they were going to have a brain hemorage trying to figure it out.
There must be something more. They have to want something more than just La Push. Were they planning on killing the Cullens to once they were finished with us? Well they would have to kill Esme, she never leaves us, and there was no way that she would stand there and watch as they ripped us apart. I was sad to think of anyone wanting to harm Esme, the most devoted, compassionate, loving vampire there is. Things just didn't match up. Nothing made any sense. And for another thing, how did they plan on getting past the pack to even get to us? Ugh. This is so confusing.
Eventually we moved on from trying to figure out what they were planning. We continued to do what we had been doing leading up to this new information. We tried to forget about what Embry told us, though it seemed like a hard thing to do.
Weeks passed, and like the last time the vamps came to town; we were losing our minds. A couple of days ago Esme asked Jasper to stay with us to help keep us calm and relaxed.
I felt like my worry was doubled this time around. I wasn't just scared for me and Quil. I was scared for our child. The child, Quil still didn't know existed. I guess Embry forgot to tell him or maybe Quil was just to busy trying to keep us safe.
I thought again about the child, our child. I pictured what he would look like, yes he. I personally always thought that our first child would be a boy. I could see his dark hair and eyes. I imagine him to look alot like Quil, with maybe a few influences from me. I also planned on naming him Quil. It was an important name in the Ateara family, my family. Passed down from generation to generation. I wasn't about to break tradition. Yes, he would be my little Quil William Ateara. Or maybe Quil Eli Ateara. Hmmm... I would have to think more about middle names. It had to be perfect for my first born son.
Jasper must have sensed the emotions I felt when thinking about my child because he looked up from his book and asked, "What are you thinking about Claire?"
He might as well know, practically everyone else except Quil knows. "Well I was actually thinking about my child," I said rubbing the small bump on my torso, "I'm pregnant."
He smiled softly at me. "Congratulations," he murmured, "I imagine Quil's quite excited."
"He actually dosn't know yet," I admitted, "He had to leave before I had the chance to tell him, and we haven't seen each other in three weeks."
"No one from the pack has told him to come back here?" he asked incredulously, "If someone from the pack knows, surely they would have thought about it."
"Just Embry knows, I guess he forgot," I muttered, disappointment colouring my tone. Jasper immediatly used his unique abilities to soothe me. I always felt so good with him around. I've never told anyone, but I really liked Jasper. It was easy to forget that he was an over a century and a half year old vampire. He was the only one keeping me sane throughout this experience, without him, I would already be certifiably insane. And I think some of the other girls might be too. We have problems.
Now all I needed to do was tell Quil and some of my problems would be solved.

A/N: Not much of a cliff hanger there. Hope you like that chapter. The next chapter will be in Quil's point of view! REVIEW!!!
