Jade's p.o.v
4 months pregnant
"Oh my god" Aunty says, covering her mouth with her hands. I turn to look at her. She rushes over to me and hugs me.
"Mel, what's wrong?" I ask her, hugging her back.
"You're just so..pregnant" she smiles. She pulls back, kissing my cheek. "Look at you" we look at me in the mirror.
"I look fat" I frown. She chuckles.
"No sweetie, you look beautiful" she smiles. I give her a small smile. Melissa and Scott now know about the letters and package from my parents. It's either one of them or Derek that's hovering around me lately. I don't really mind. When I do mind, I make sure they know. And once i've 'let them know', i'm given my space to a point. "Has she kicked yet?" Aunty asks. I smile at the 'she'.
"Not yet. But it's close, I can feel it" I smile, touching my slowly growing stomach. By the time i'm 5 months, everyone's going to be able to tell i'm pregnant. But I don't mind. I'm not ashamed. I'm proud, so, so proud of me, Derek and the baby. We both turn towards the window when we hear movement. Aunty raises an eyebrow when the noise is Derek climbing in my window, a bottle of chocolate milk in one hand while he uses the other to pull himself inside. He stops, seeing us, a bag of gummy worms caught between his teeth.
"Morning Derek" Aunty says, crossing his arms over her chest. He gets to his feet inside. He scratches his neck awkwardly, looking sheepish.
"I uh..I thought you'd be at work" he says. I give him a small apologetic look. Aunty fishes into her pocket, bringing out her keys. She takes a key off, holding it out to Derek.
"Take it" she says. He takes it, looking at it, confused. "It's one of our house keys" she tells him. "So you don't have to sneak in the window. You're welcome here whenever Derek" she tells him with a chuckle.
"Thank you" he smiles, slipping the key into his pocket.
"Are those for me?" I ask hopefully, looking at the bag of gummy worms. Both adults chuckle.
"Yes. Deaton said you need to up your calcium intake, so..chocolate milk because I know you won't drink enough regular" he says, putting the bottle on the dresser. "And gummy worms because I know they're your favourite" he says, putting them down with the bottle.
"So adorable" Aunty sighs fondly. Derek and I turn to her with raised eyebrows. She smiles sheepishly. "I have work. I trust you'll look after my two girls" Mel grins at Derek. "I will be home later"
"I'm on guard" Derek assures her, making her smile.
"Have a good shift" I say to her. She smiles and waves, leaving us in the room together. Derek comes over and kisses me lightly before hugging me. I smile, hugging into his chest.
"I swear you glow more and more every day" he says.
"You're such a suck up" I chuckle.
"Excuse me for not wanting to get on your bad side again, get held in a blood bending hold" he says, amused.
"Well..that was your fault" I say sheepishly. "I told you to stop"
"My wolf wasn't having any of that" he chuckles.
"I could tell" I grin.
"Anyway" he says. "Here" he says, handing me the gummy worms. I grin widely, ripping into the bag and eating them straight away. Derek looks a little put off but my sudden appetite but in the fondest of ways.
"I love you" I say, a gummy worm hanging out of my mouth. Derek laughs, properly laughs. I feel a weird sensation in my stomach when he laughs. I stop, eyes widening when I realise what it was.
"Jade?" Derek asks, coming over to me. I take both of his hands and bring them over my stomach with my own. "What is it.." he trails off when baby does it again. We both smile widely. She kicked. For the first time. Our baby kicked. Derek has this painfully adorable smile on his face, bunny teeth, dimples and all. I can't help it, I make an excited yelp sound and hug the male tightly. He hugs me back, arms wrapping around my back. "I love you" he says, kissing me. I kiss him back softly. He pulls back. "You taste like gummy worms" he chuckles. I grin, nuzzling my face into his neck. This moment is perfect. Absolutely perfect. And of course, something has to ruin it. A knock on the door. I sigh, pulling back.
"I should get that" I say. I turn around and i'm quickly swept off my feet, Derek picking me up and walking me down the stairs. I chuckle, cheeks turning rosey. He puts me back on my feet at the door. I kiss his cheek in thanks before opening the door. "Morning" I greet the two strangers at my door. They both just look at me. Derek comes to my side, eyes studying them. We share a look before I look back at them. "Can I help you?" I ask them. The woman's eyes fall to my stomach and she covers her mouth, eyes filling with tears. Wait..
"Jade? Is that you?" the man asks. My face falls. "It's us" he says. "It's Mom and Dad" he says. I step back, feeling the panic rising in my chest. Crap.
