JACOB'S POV
I reached the familiar red house and pulled in the cramped driveway, right next to my dad's old truck.
After almost a day and a half of driving, we finally made it to Washington, and by 'we' I mean Seth and I. My dad called me to tell me that he needed help with something so that's why we're earlier than planned so we could help everyone with the ceremony and the bonfire tonight.
The Cullen's would be coming over a bit later. They offered to get us a flight to Washington but I gladly declined –much to Seth's disdain, he's not that all pleased he'd never get his first time flying in a plane.
I noticed Charlie's cruiser parked beside my dad's truck.
Seth and I slipped out of the car and took a moment to just breathe in the La Push, Reservation air.
"Ahh …home sweet home!" Seth hummed.
"Not your home, buddy." I said to him as I shut the door.
"Yeah well, I'm your dad's favorite so…" He pointed out. I scoffed as he and I both made it to the house.
I unfurled the door and entered to the sound of laughter.
"Dad!" I called out through the small house, shutting the door as Seth came in.
"Kitchen!"
Seth and I entered the kitchen to see my father by the stove, whipping up his favorite oxtail soup whilst Charlie was standing by him with a glass of water.
"Hey, Dad!" I greeted him.
"Jacob!" He beamed as he looked up at me and placed his spatula on the counter, and then began wheeling over to me. I bent down to embrace him and pat him on the back. "It's good to see you son,"
"Yeah, it's good to see me too." I laughed as we pulled away. He smiled. "I've been gone way too long, I almost forgot how the house looked like."
"Yeah you have been gone for way too long. I'm starting to regret feeding you off to those bloodsuckers –" Billy stated but was stopped when Charlie cleared his throat.
"I'm sorry, 'bloodsuckers'?" Charlie asked.
Shit! Shit!
"Well uh it's a nickname we got them nothing big, no need to worry big man. Relax…you're marrying my mom this weekend. It's something to be happy about." Seth covered up, patting Charlie on the shoulder.
Thank you Seth! I mentally sighed in relief.
"Yeah, that's a mission I'm trying to wrap my head around." Charlie stated with a sigh. "I mean, marriage…I never thought I'd come to this."
"It's never too late to back out?" Billy suggested with a shrug. I smiled.
"Yes it is!" Seth retorted as if what my dad said was a complete sin.
Charlie sighed.
"You can't be having doubts now Charlie." I said to him. "You're only days away from standing at the altar."
"I'm not having doubts about her, don't get me wrong I love Sue with all my heart I just…I don't know. I feel like I'm way too old for this." He chuckled.
"And you're not getting any younger either," Seth laughed, taking a bite of an apple. Charlie rolled his eyes at his future step-son.
"Thanks," He said sarcastically.
"What I mean is. The love you and my mom have for each other is something you shouldn't pass up even with age. My dad would've wanted my mom to be happy and you make her happy Charlie. Your love is strong. You can't let anything get in the way of that love." Seth stated.
"Says this from the kid who just wanted to have an adventure," Billy and Charlie laughed.
I was shocked myself. I knew Seth was a sweet kid, but I never thought he was a love guru.
"Did California change you, son?" Billy questioned.
Seth shrugged. "I guess I see things differently now,"
"Anyway, thanks kid, I guess I needed that assurance." Charlie stated.
That was when silence crept up on us and it turned slightly awkward.
"This is getting depressing," I pointed out. "When is the bonfire starting again?"
"In three hours," Charlie replied.
"Oh which reminds me, Jacob, you need to go pick Sam up." Dad told me.
"What happened to his car?" I asked.
"Not sure," Billy replied, wheeling over to the stove and stirred the soup.
I frowned.
"You excited for your bachelor party?" Seth lightly squealed as he patted Charlie on the back.
"Bachelor party? I think I'm a little too old for those."
"Age is just a number baby!" Seth squeaked as he ran off into the living room as he heard the big game playing. I laughed.
"So Jake, how's California been? How are my two favorite girls?" He asked me.
By two favorite girls he meant Bella and Nessie –I hope.
"It's great I guess. it's certainly not as cold as here and believe it or not…the food's better in Forks." I said to him. He chuckled.
"I doubt it,"
"Bella's okay…I mean she misses everything in Forks but she's great. Edward's keeping her intact,"
"In more ways than one Charlie!" Seth shouted from the living room.
"I really don't want to know," Charlie said in disgust, shaking his head. I smiled. "And Ness?"
Nessie…
Oh Nessie…
I certainly won't tell him that Nessie's looking really hot lately. Or better yet, "Oh yes, I've been having feelings for your granddaughter, she's super-hot". I don't think so.
"She's good I guess. She's doing well in school, everyone loves her but there's no shocker there." I said with a huge grin.
Stop it Jake! Or you'll make it obvious and Charlie will have a reason to arrest your dirty ass!
"I hope no boys are chasing after her," He stated, his protective granddad side coming out.
Come on, Charlie. Have you seen her?
"Oh um…I wouldn't know," I laughed awkwardly.
"'Cause if there is, I'll make it my personal duty to castrate those hormonal halfwits. Nobody touches my granddaughter," He grunted. I literally gulped. If only he knew.
"Except for Jakey-Wakey," Seth stated in a way that only I could hear. I glared at him and growled lowly.
"Oh shush Charlie," Billy stated. "She's almost eighteen; she can take care of herself and I think that Edward and Jake will make sure nothing happens to her, right Jake?"
I glared at him. Come on dad, why do you have to put me on the spot? Your best friend's a freaking cop and standing right in the middle of the freaking kitchen!
"Yeah, most definitely," I chuckled awkwardly, making sure I don't meet with Charlie's gaze.
I've never been this nervous standing in front of Charlie before. If I was nervous now, what will happen if Nessie and I ever get together?
Well that's not going to happen anytime soon…
A beeper went off and Charlie was quick to reach for his pocket. He sighed when he took one look at it.
"I have to head down to the station in a few. The tech guys called, they think they know what happened to one of the cells." Charlie said to Billy.
"What's happening?" Seth questioned as he entered the room, leaning against the doorframe.
"Yeah and why are you working on Christmas break? Shouldn't you be well…on a break?" I asked.
"There's too many cases piling up, people breaking through cells, it's crazy." He replied.
That's weird. Charlie never had this many cases while we were still around.
"Anyway, see you guys later." Charlie stated. "Seth, your mother said she needs to see you ASAP!"
"Yes pops!" Seth teased. Charlie groaned and we all laughed.
"Well dad, I think we're going to head out as well. Got to pick big alpha Sam up from preschool," I said with a sigh. "Ready to go?" I asked Seth.
"Yeah," He stated.
"Later, dad!" I called out before heading out of the house and over to my car. I immediately lunged, slapping him at the back of the head, causing him to hit the bonnet. He whined.
"What the hell was –?" He moaned.
"You know what that was for! Get in." I stated as I hopped into the driver's seat.
He rolled his eyes as he followed and hopped into the passenger seat.
"Crazy ass," I heard him murmur.
"What was that?" I questioned.
"Hmm? Nothing…" He shook his head.
I narrowed my eyes at him slightly, slipping my keys into the ignition and turning it on and driving off.
"Why do you have Playboy in your car?" Seth questioned as he picked a magazine up from the ground. "Oh wait, it's Sports Illustrated." He teased.
I looked at the magazine to see that it was a Car and Driver November, 2013 issue. I rolled my eyes and snatched it from him.
"You're an idiot." I said to him.
"Hey! I was gonna read that."
I shook my head.
"So, Alex called. She told me she's having a terrible time in Italy with her family right now. Look, even when she's miserable she manages to look so hot and adorable!" He laughed as he showed me a picture of the pretty girl, playing around with her food.
"That's great Seth," I said, my eyes not leaving the road.
"Oh come on, I know you got rejected, I know it feels bad, I know it hurts." Seth stated. "But you need to seriously get a grip! You're the life of the party Jake, there's no party without Jacob Black so we need you, okay!"
I sighed and tightened my grip on the steering wheel.
"I didn't get rejected," I whispered to myself but even I couldn't lie convincingly even to myself and my beaten ego.
When is this weekend going to end?
We made it to Sam's house in less than five minutes and parked on his lawn. I know how grumpy that makes him.
Seth and I slipped out of the car, making our way over to the traditionalized house and knocked on the door.
"Can you believe it's been four months since we've been here?" Seth asked. "I mean it feels like it's been four years rather than four months like –"
"Please shut up," I stated gruffly.
"Come on why do you have to be such a saltywolf?" He asked me.
The door was immediately unfurled –thankfully – and Emily's warming smile was in full display.
"Oh wow! Jacob, Seth, come in, come in!" She greeted, kindly stepping aside so we could get in.
"How're doing Em?" I asked her.
"I'm good. God! Are all you wolves' descendants of trees? What the hell is this?" She asked as she looked up at both Seth and I.
She looked like a miniature horse compared to us. I laughed.
"Sam will be down in a minute, he's just busy with some business." She told me. I nodded my head.
"Unca Take!" I heard the sound of the light tapping of two feet and a high-pitched voice calling my name. I looked down to see a kid with long hair and chubby legs making his way over to me and hugging my leg.
Emily and Sam got hitched almost a year after Nessie was born, and four years later they had a kid.
"Hey, there!" I laughed. "Is this Kamryn?" I gasped as I lifted the kid swiftly off the ground and throwing him in the air.
"Yeah, he's been bugging about seeing you guys all day." Emily smiled as she continued her cooking for the bonfire tonight. "Kam, why don't you tell Uncle Jake how old you'll be in two weeks' time?"
Kamryn tried to register his age by counting on his small fingers before flashing three fingers at me in confidence. "Free!"
"Three?" I questioned as if it was the best thing I've heard all day. "Well I'll be turning twenty-four in two weeks' time, and guess what, it's on the same day as yours." I told him.
He giggled.
Am I actually enjoying a conversation with a three year old? Wow Jake…this is a new low even for you!
"Unca Seth, c my Lego collect— thing-y!" Kamryn squirmed from my arms and I set him down, watching him pull Seth over to the messy living room.
Poor Seth…
A short girl with long black hair came into view, smashing her fingers on the screen of a phone.
"Whoa! Is this Claire-bear?" I laughed, seeing the ten year old making her way into the kitchen. "How's it going?"
"Yeah, hey Jake," She said, grabbing a muffin before running off to the other room.
"Geez," I mentioned as I was sure she was out of sight. "Is this what kid life is like these days?" I asked, hopping onto the counter.
"Yeah, she's been on that phone ever since she got it for her tenth birthday." Emily told me. "You must be getting really old Jake."
"Oh yeah, you can even see my grey hair? It's not prominent but it's there." I joked. She giggled.
I heard a flush coming from the bathroom and Rachel appearing into the room, wiping the water from her mouth with her cardigan and coughing. She smiled when she saw me.
"Hey Jake," She said to me.
"You look terrible," I said to her. "And you smell terrible too."
"Gee, thanks," She said, draping her arms around my neck in a hug before pulling away. "When did you get back?"
"About an hour ago," I replied to my older sister. You wouldn't think that since she was about half my size.
"Did you head over to see dad?" She asked me. I nodded my head. "Paul and I moved out around when you left."
"Oh so that's why the Dorito packet is still in dad's cabinet?" I asked. She chuckled and punched my shoulder lightly before heading over to Emily to continue helping her with the food.
"Are you good?" Emily asked my sister.
"Yeah I'm fine," Rachel nodded her head convincingly. Emily frowned. "Seriously, I promise, I'm fine Em,"
"Well I'm done!" We heard a familiar voice that I could remember I could bow down to at any given call.
I looked to see Sam entering the room. Damn did he look different or maybe I've been gone for way too long. He looked…older?
"Sup, Sam," I greeted him.
He looked at me and grinned.
Over the years, ever since the two packs were formed, Sam and I grew closer. I mean I thought it'd make our relationship worse since we're rivaling packs but it actually didn't, we became great friends and since we had the whole 'alpha-intuition' thing he called it, we got along over that.
We were still close but they still weren't too pleased at the fact that I'm also close to a family of our enemy, and I'm imprinted with one of them but they'll just get over it and endure it.
"My dad told me you wanted me to pick you up? You wanted to talk about something?" I asked Sam.
"Uh yeah…I just want to hold up a pack meeting before we set up the bonfire." He told me.
I frowned. "Is something wrong?" I asked, looking between Rachel and Emily's weak smiles.
I turned back to Sam who gave me a worried look.
Yep something's wrong.
… …
"I've called this pack meeting to order because I have an announcement to make." Sam began as we stood in the yard of my dad's house. "Since our um…allies—" He strained. "The Cullen's have left the town, there hasn't been any persistent vampire activities happening for the past four and a half months. Although, there is a great need to keep the packs together, some of us went our separate ways, in the likes of Jacob Black, and Seth Clearwater."
Where the hell is he going with this?
"I don't like where this is going," Seth whispered to me.
"I think you've noticed that I'm not getting any younger anymore and that my son, Kamryn Levi Uley is growing up way too quickly and my wife is aging as well. I would like to spend as much time as possible with them as ever and I can't do that with all the pack obligations."
Get to the point please! I'm on edge!
"So I've come to a decision from my side to…" He took a deep breath, gulping in some air before saying the dreadful words. "I've decided to step down of my title as alpha of the Uley pack."
Everyone gasped.
Dammit! I knew it. I mean I've known it from the very beginning but I knew it! Ugh!
The pack has grown over the years so the kids who didn't understand the whole imprinting process were rather shocked.
"Look you guys, you need to understand that this decision is based on my family's wellbeing, not because I'm neglecting you in anyway." He tried to console his pack. "I'm sorry,"
"Who's going to take your place?" Tyler questioned from the back.
Sam turned to me before turning back to his pack. "U-uh I'm not sure. The person that would've taken over would've been Jake but since he's not with us. I guess I have a lot of thinking to do." He stated.
There were whispers, hums and gasps among people but I guess the 'original' pack members weren't too surprised about Sam's revelation.
"Jacob," Sam whispered to me. I looked up to see him gesturing for me to come over to him.
I got up and made my way over to him until we found ourselves standing inside the woods, yards away from hearing range.
"Look Jake. I've been planning to stop phasing for a long time now, and I always thought you'd take over the duties, but now that you're gone. I'm finding it hard to figure out who I want next. Paul's not going to be a wolf for long, Jared doesn't seem interested…"
"Do you want me to come back?" I asked.
He contemplated for a minute, probably registering what I was saying. Something I didn't even think about conscientiously.
"You can't leave your imprint behind." He simply said to me.
Then it hit me. Of course I couldn't leave Nessie behind, and I can't exactly ask her to come back with me either way, she's just settling in.
I sighed. "What about Leah? She's my second in command,"
He frowned. "I've thought about that but…we've never been on the best of terms. Can you talk to her?"
I nodded my head.
"Of course," I said to him. He nodded. "And congratulations with the whole 'shutting down the phase' thing. Is it okay if I say congrats?" I asked.
Personally, I wouldn't ever see myself not being a shapeshifter anymore, or even have the courage to stop. All those vampire deaths would've been for nothing.
He laughed.
"Uh thank you, it was long overdue. I'm just happy I get to grow old with my family." He said to me.
I smiled.
"Anyway, we've got a bonfire to get to." He said to me.
"Yeah," I laughed.
… …
We all laughed as Seth teased Quil on a growing preteen Claire Young. Claire had developed uh…a little 'crush' on Quil for the past weeks or so after catching him accidently in all his glory after he came out of the Uley shower. I could see it in his face he had been dreading on the upcoming 8 years, when bigger feelings would start to develop.
I kind of knew what he was going through. Oh who am I kidding? I knew exactly what he was going through! It's just that mine was a little sped up than his was.
"Guys, cut Quil some slack," I tried to help the guy out as we all stood by the grill. "It's not like he can control what goes on in a ten year old's mind."
"Thank you!" Quil retorted.
"Yeah, yeah," Everyone said with rolled eyes.
"So Seth, you finally joined the crew," Jared pointed out.
"Oh yeah, you imprinted! Congrats man," Embry added, clapping his hands together.
"Where did you guys hear that?" Seth questioned, looking ole disappointed. "I wanted it to be a surprise,"
"Your mom couldn't stop blabbing about it to the entire rez," Paul stated.
"Of course she couldn't," Leah stated. "I am so glad Charlie's whisked her away from us."
"Gee Leah, what did mom ever do to you?" Seth teased. Leah glared at him. "Do you guys wanna see a pic?"
"Yeah sure," Jared shrugged his shoulders whilst the rest agreed.
Oh here we go! Here goes Seth drifting away into 'Smitten-world'. He can't stay one day without talking or showcasing something that had to do with Alex. I mean I get it, you're imprinted and young in love and all that but you could always just tone it down!
But I knew myself enough to know that I wasn't quite that irritated, I was more of envious of his recent relationship with his mate.
Seth began showing the pack pictures of him and Alex and then Alex alone and then back to them together again.
"Dayuummm!" Jared stated. "She's got spunk!"
"What? Kim's not doing it for ya buddy?" Embry questioned and everyone laughed.
Jared rolled his eyes, giving Embry a right hook in the face which was pretty much painless and made Embry just guffaw.
"How old is she?" Sam asked.
"U-umm…" Seth paused, slipping his phone in his back pocket. "She's 17,"
Jared, Paul, Sam and Embry all laughed at him.
"17?" Jared questioned.
"That's illegal!"
"Hey! At least I didn't imprint on a two year old, or better yet, imprinted on a girl who's like five minutes old, no offense Jake." Seth said to all of us.
Everyone chuckled.
"Yeah but that's different and it's still illegal Seth, do you really want to get yourself locked up or are you just really stupid?" Leah snarled, gritting her teeth together. "She doesn't know anything about 'our world'!"
"So did Kim and Rachel!" Seth protested.
"What will happen if you tell her and she tells everybody she knows? The whole pack will be implicated if this ends badly." She argued.
"I don't think she'd do that." Seth chuckled.
Leah growled. "How would you know? You've only known this girl for three months and suddenly you think you know her like a book? This girl could very well be a criminal or a freaking kleptomaniac!"
"That's not how an imprint works Leah? Haven't you seen it from all the girls we've imprinted on? They're not a threat to our secret and you know that!" Sam brought up.
Leah narrowed her blazed eyes at him. Dang! What got her so worked up?
"Sam shut up! You're the man who managed to leave a scar on a woman for life and you prove to love her?" She questioned with a scoff. "Some love huh,"
Everyone fell silent, all eyes literally on Sam, waiting to see him blow up and phase on the spot. Instead, Sam clenched his jaw and clamped his fists together, trying to refrain from losing his mind and then began stomping out of the yard and headed inside.
Jared whistled as silence crept up on all of us.
"Leah, that was cold," Jared stated in a whisper.
Leah didn't reply and just followed Sam's trail, heading into the house.
The epic showdown between Leah and Sam that we've all been hoping to see had just finally happened but I always thought it'll feel better than this. However, there was something behind Leah's anger rant, and I don't think it's the fact that Seth imprinted on a mere human who had no knowledge of the supernatural world.
There was more too it…
"So Jake…" Embry cleared his throat, breaking the uncomfortably awkward silence. "How's Nessie?"
"She's good I guess,"
"Oh shit, the meat!" Quil stated as he ran over to the griller.
Everyone was now congregated around the huge fire, sitting on the logs as we listened to the legends, before drifting off to the main topic which were Sue and Charlie's penultimate nuptials coming up.
Sam and Leah were sitting yards away from each other but you could still sense the tension in the air even as Sam smiled whilst sitting with his wife and kid. It's good that Kamryn took Sam's mind off what just happened.
"We are all gathered here today to witness the union of Sue Clearwater and Charlie Swan. I've known Charlie for a very long time and I've never seen him love a woman as much as he loves this woman right her," Billy said, grabbing hold of Sue's hand. "Personally I think this is all my fault. If I hadn't allowed him to pour Sue that drink, none of this would've been happening," My dad joked around. We all laughed.
"Yeah right!" Charlie called out.
"But as your best man, Charlie, I'd like to say that I'm really happy for you, both of you." He stated.
I smelt the familiar scent hit my nostrils and I looked up to see Nessie appearing and taking a seat right next a couple of the imprints. I couldn't help the smile creep on the tips of my lips.
"Your love inspires us, and it will go on inspiring us, every day and as long as we may live. So we're going to be there at your wedding, we're going to watch you guys get married, and watch you live happily ever after."
We all applauded and Charlie got up from his seat and went over to give my dad a huge hug. The girls cooed over the scene.
After everyone congratulated Sue and Charlie, Paul wolf whistled, causing everyone to focus their attention on him standing with my sister.
"Um…sorry," Rachel began. "I know it isn't the right time and I promise we're not trying to steal your thunder guys but…um…Paul and I have something to say,"
Where were these two going with this?
"I knocked her up!" Paul shouted out, lifting Rachel up and spinning her around.
Whoa! Wait what?
All the guys cheered and the girls squealed as they all ran over to Rachel. I laughed as the pack lifted him off the ground and carried him over to the lake, throwing him in.
I took a sip of my drink and turned around to see Nessie grinning widely as she talked to a couple of teenage girls. I inhaled a deep breath and sauntered my way over to her.
"Ness," I called her.
She spun around and showcased that radiant smile that I loved.
"Hey!" She giggled. "Uh…congratulations,"
"For?" I asked in obliviousness.
"You're going to be an uncle," She said to me as if it was pretty obvious.
"Oh right," I said.
Stupid Jake! Stupid!
"So when did you get here?" I asked her.
"Um about an hour ago, I couldn't miss this bonfire. It's becoming really surreal, my granddad's getting married." She laughed. "And what your dad said…he's really awesome," She giggled.
"No he's not. He's embarrassing," I said to her. She chuckled.
"No, no actually I thought what he said was really beautiful a-and I think he just won Best Man of the Year." She told me. I sniggered.
I took a chance to notice her outfit and she was dressed in a loosely creamy dress and a denim jacket, with her locket and the necklace I made for her dangling off her neck. She looked gorgeous with her long bronze hair curled to the side in a ponytail made her look extra beautiful –if it were even possible.
"You look great by the way," I said to him.
"Really? Thanks, I just threw this on, didn't know what was appropriate," She said to me with her cheeks flustering.
"You can make anything look appropriate," I said to him.
I shut my eyes and shook my head. Did I really just say that?
She laughed nervously.
"U-humm…I think I'm going to talk to Charlie and Sue." She told me. She then draped her arms around me and got on her tiptoe to hug me tightly. I instantaneously returned the embrace and mesmerized in the moment.
She was first to pull away. Our eyes interlocked and our breaths were steady, but I could hear her heart beating fast, faster than normal. It felt like we were standing here forever and we were the only ones around.
She cleared her throat and giggled.
"Um…yeah, I'll see you later." She said to me, pulling away from me and walked over to Charlie and Sue.
I sighed. "You can make anything look appropriate? Really, Jake?" I asked myself.
I was always smooth with words, or at least I thought I was but it seemed like Nessie…there's just something about Nessie that just brings out the dorky, nervousness, quirky side out of me.
I can't help it. I mean every time I look at her I get this caverned feeling in my chest and it's like someone literally dug a hole in it and it's the worst feeling I've ever had in my life. I never knew I could feel this bad…
I am so whipped.
"So how come you didn't kiss her?" My sister asked me as she took a seat next to me on the log.
"What?"
"How come you didn't kiss Nessie?" Rachel questioned.
I frowned. What was she talking about?
"I don't know what you're talking about," I scoffed as I sipped from my beer –which had no effect on me.
"I've been watching you perceptively tonight, the way you glance at her every five minutes, the moment you guys just had. You guys totally are smitten yet nobody goes for it." She said to me.
"Have you told her how you feel?"
"She'll know…someday," I said to her.
I felt her small hand hit me on the back of my head as hard as she possibly could.
"Are you kidding me? 'She'll know'? Listen, dumbass, I'm going to let you in on a little secret that many men get wrong. Are you ready?" She began. "Women…love…words."
"Okay…" I hummed.
"Listen, Jake…" She paused. "You need to tell her how you feel. Tell her exactly how you feel."
"Just tell her…tell it to her again," She chuckled. "Learn how to tell her differently, learn how to tell it to her better, learn how to tell her at the top of your lungs, learn how to sing it." She added. I chuckled. "Mom isn't here to tell you this but I'm pretty sure if she was she would. If you want something you take it."
"It's not that easy Rach. I mean, not only is she still young but her dad won't exactly give me the rite of passage to court his daughter." I said to her.
"Remember when we were kids and you asked mom and dad to take you to that lake that had that snake?" She asked.
"It was a crocodile but yeah," I corrected.
"And remember how they told you not to?" She asked. "Did that stop you from going to that lake and in the process getting hypothermia?"
I laughed. "No,"
"That's what I'm talking about, Jake. Every obstacle you face, you never let that take away your chances of getting what you want. So are you gonna let some rule get in the way of being with your mate? Your one true love?"
Wow…I never thought of it that way.
"You know just tell her, write it in a poem attached to a letter, make a sculpture with the words carved on it, get a tattoo of her name on your chest –"
"Isn't all that cheesy?"
"Sure, but it works. Just tell her the truth okay, tell her everything and anything." Rachel pressed.
I smiled.
She was right. I needed to tell her, I don't care about anything anymore, if I can get what I want then this would be my number one. If she doesn't feel the same way I would, I'd be utterly broken –it's a given – but at least I'll be hurt knowing that she knows.
"I can't believe I'm going to be an uncle," I said to her.
"I can't believe I'm going to be a mom!" She laughed. "In six months I'm going to be a mother to a child,"
"Paul's child to add on that, it's a shame my niece or nephew's going to be a hothead," I told her with a sigh. She rolled her eyes.
"Don't make me regret giving you that advice, okay boy?" She warned.
I laughed.
