I don't own Twilight, just the awesomeness that is Erin Black and her and Seth's little accident.

So, I have actually been going back through Times of Change and cleaning it up/editing. I feel like some scenes are now more intimate and well written. If you guys want to go back through, I'm about a third of the way through the edit at the moment. When I'm completely done, I intend to do the same thing for Comes and Goes and this book, too.

inuyashademons14: To answer your question, there is only one baby. I think it would just be cruel to give Seth and Erin a set of multiplies to deal with at 16 (which is how old they will be when the baby comes, not a typo). I'm happy you love my work, it's always nice to hear compliments like that, so thank you *kisses*

.2016: WOW! Thank you for all of the reviews! It was awesome to just watching them rolling in on my email and just like knowing that you were bingeing the Erin Black series. Hope you stick around for more!

Also, thank you to moonlightHope for commenting and loving my story and, of course, thank you to my amazing soundboard, TwilightEvie, who the rest of you have to thank for this story ever getting done.

Random Fun Fact: I like do not plan out chapter titles at all. I literally name them as I'm uploading them and you maybe have noticed they are usually just lines from the chapter itself. Maybe it's laziness? I guess I just don't see the chapter titles as that important?


I woke up to a churning stomach once again. Groaning, I rubbed the tiredness from my eyes before letting a hand fall to my abdomen with a huff. Ever since I was a little girl, I had hated being sick, specifically throwing up. When I was 10 and had the flu, I had actually had a panic attack because I couldn't stop dry heaving. Billy and Rebecca had calmed me down, forcing my head between my knees. It hadn't been pretty.

Feeling the nausea rise into my throat, I squeezed my eyes shut and took a deep breath, attempting to count to ten. Finding that having my eyes closed only made it feel like the room was spinning faster, I gave up and forced myself out of bed. And I was supposed to survive months of this? I had barely been doing this morning sickness thing a week and felt like I was dying.

I started towards my bedroom door but paused about halfway, catching sight of myself in my full length mirror across the room.

My eyes instantly drifted to my middle of their own accord. Nothing looked any different. My hair was knotted and messy, tied back in a ponytail that ended at the small of my back like every morning, and my eyes were rimmed to red from my rubbing. I still appeared to be my usual slender, curve-less self.

At least I had some more time before I had to worry about a bump showing my hand. Seth and I had agreed to do everything in our power to keep the baby a secret for now, both needing more time to figure shit out. We didn't need parents and pack members yelling at us for a screw up we were already very aware we had made to make it worse.

Oh, sorry, Baby Wolf, I internally cringed and apologized, finally pushing myself into the hallway. I didn't mean 'screw up' … I meant, uh, 'Oops'?

Rachel and Uncle Billy were sitting at the table, Uncle Billy with the newspaper and Rachel had her cell phone to her ear. She was grinning, "Yes, please! I really appreciate this opportunity to develop my skills! Thank you again so much!" She hung up and squealed, "I got the job!"

Billy roared in excitement and gripped Rachel's hand on the table, "I knew you would, Rachy. They'd be idiots not to hire you!"

"Congratz," I forced my normal smile as I went to grab a glass of orange juice, "But what job?"

"It's this technology firm, based in Seattle. They supply people with some of the best cybersecurity there is and were really impressed that I had gotten my Bachelor's in Computer Engineering ahead of schedule. They offered me a position as one of their technicians and of course I said yes! It's what I've always wanted!" She told me excitedly. I felt guilty, having not spoke to Rachel much over the last few weeks; I barely knew what was happening in her life anymore.

"Not to mention," Billy added, rolling back from the table and towards the living room, "She can work from home, here in La Push." Rachel's glowing smile faltered but she quickly covered it, nodding enthusiastically. Uncle Billy grinned widely and left the room.

I turned to Rachel and there was a moment of silent. Her smile slipped a bit further and her shoulders slumped as she began playing with her hands on the table. Crossing my arms over my chest, I cocked my head to the side, "What's wrong, Rach?"

My cousin's eyes flickered to mine and she gave a little shrug, "Nothing. This job's perfect for me; I should feel honored to even be offered it."

"So why don't you?" I pressed further. Rachel finally dropped her act, sighing as she bit her lip. I moved forward, sitting across the table from her. "I know I've been a pretty shitty cousin lately, but you can still tell me stuff, you know."

She was quiet for a long time before she rested her head in her hands with a groan, "I was only supposed to be here a few weeks, EA. I moved back to La Push for a few weeks to get my footing after graduating. Now, it's been months and I'm still here, here and getting a job that'll only make it easier to just stay here! Erin, I hate it here!"

It wasn't exactly a big secret that Rachel, as well as Rebecca, had grown to hate the reservation after Aunt Sarah died. Hell, Rebecca moved to Hawaii to get far enough away. I guess I had just assumed that in the last few months, Rachel had to at least find La Push bearable. It appeared I was wrong.

"I was ready, I had it all planned and then…" She trailed off.

"Paul." I finished, nodding in understanding.

My cousin nodded, looking close to tears, "He can't leave, at least not yet, not with his temper. And I understand that; it was my decision to stay and see how things went with him. I just," She bit her lip, looking a little shameful, "Honestly, I just didn't think we would actually work."

I gave her a curious look. "But you're his imprint?"

"I didn't really believe all of that at first but now," Rachel sighed, "I love him, Erin, I really do. I guess I just didn't expect to have to rearrange my whole life around our relationship."

My stomach clench in time with my fists. Oddly, it seemed like Rachel and I were somewhat in the same boat. We were having to give up our original plans to deal with the cards we'd been dealt. Only her hand was Paul; mine was Baby Wolf.

I nodded slowly, considering my words, "Unexpected doesn't have to be bad."

Rachel gave me a small smile and took a deep breath, "Yeah, EA, you're right. I love Paul and this job is just where I am in my life right now. And one day, Paul will have his temper in check and we can ride off into the sunset."

I started to laugh and take a sip of orange juice but the second the drink touched my tongue, my stomach lurched. I gagged, tears springing to my eyes as I shot out of my seat. Spitting the juice into the sink, I had to swallow so as not to be sick. Quickly using paper towel to wipe off my face, I turned to Rachel reluctantly. Sweat was beading on my forehead from the upset and my eyes were still water even though I had managed not to throw up.

She gave me a questioning look, glancing between me and the glass of orange juice. Trying to keep my expression blank, I faked a casual shrug, "Must have gone bad." Yup, totally because of out-of-date juice, NOT because I'm pregnant.

To my relief, Rachel just shrugged and let the subject drop.


As soon as I was dressed, I borrowed Rachel's car to head over to Seth's. We had hardly talked after I'd told him. I had felt so overwhelmed it was like I couldn't say anything because there was just too much that needed saying. Seth seemed to feel the same, spending much of our time together staring at either me or off in the distance. And it wasn't like we had a ton of time together anyway, with him getting back to school and working on catching up and all the wolves around at any given time.

Thankfully, when I pulled up the driveway was empty. I had no idea where Leah's car could be but Sue's shift at the hospital had probably started early this morning. Still feeling ready to puke, I trudged up to the door.

It swung open before I even had the chance to knock and Seth stood there, looking like he'd just rolled out of bed. His hair was sicking up in different directions and he was in only basketball shorts. I noticed his injured arm was already completely healed, his makeshift sling gone. His eyes, however, were wide awake and instantly trained in on my face. A reluctant half smile appeared on his lips. "Hey, what are you doing here?"

I stepped forward, pecking his lips and resting my forehead against his. "I wanted to be with you, dork." I moved past him into the house and shrugged, casting my gaze down nervously, "That and I feel like there's a giant sign with 'PREGNANT' stamped on it across my forehead whenever I'm around anyone else."

Seth sighed and closed the door, tugging on a t-shirt from a laundry pile by the stairs. "Yeah, we gotta talk about that…" He rubbed his hands together, "Have you eaten? I can heat up something Mom left."

"No!" I answered quickly, cringing. He paused, eyebrows scrunching together cutely. "I pretty sure I'll throw up if I so much as think about food."

Now, Seth was the one to cringe, muttering a woeful "Sorry." He pulled me over to the couch in the living room and sat with my legs across his lap, playing with my fingers with one hand and my hair with the other. "How are we going to handle this, 'Rin?"

My heart jumped into my throat as I chocked out, "I'm keeping the baby, Seth. I mean, I know this isn't even close to ideal but I can't-"

"Definitely not what I meant, Erin. I knew that from the start, I figured it went without saying." Seth rushed in to cut off my panicked rant.

I nodded, embarrassed and anxious. "And you're okay with that? Really okay with it?"

He swallowed hard, looking me in the eyes with a mixture of uncertainty and fear, "I'll do whatever you want, 'Rin."

"That's not what I asked." I mumbled, pulling my hand back from his.

Seth easily recaptured it, running his finger tips over my palm absentmindedly, "I'm scared, okay? I'm terrified I'm gonna fuck this all up worse than I already have and you deserve better." He glanced at my stomach, "The kid deserves better."

"Oh, Seth." I sighed, running my free hand over the back of his neck, playing with the little locks of hair there. "I'm scared, too. I have no clue what I'm doing, either. But we are going to figure this all out and we're going to do it together. All three of us."

Giving me a reluctant smile, Seth ran a hand down my arm, "We have another problem. I'll have to phase eventually and once I do, everyone is going to know. That's how it was for Jared once Kim told him."

"Fuck!" I hissed, closing my eyes in annoyance, "I forgot about that."

"I'm sorry."

"Stop saying you're sorry for everything, Seth, it's gonna get on my nerves really fast. Anyway, I guess there's nothing we can do; everyone was going to find out about Baby Wolf eventually." I muttered, laying back again the armrest. Seth's hand froze in mine and I glanced over at him, worriedly, "What?"

His eyebrows were drawn together again and he looked at me thoughtfully, "What did you call it?"

"Oh, uh, Baby Wolf." I felt my face catch fire, blushing scarlet. "I've just never really liked calling babies 'it' and 'the baby' is so generic and the nickname just kind of popped into my head. It's stupid-"

"It's not." Something in his tone forced my eyes to his face. What I found was his gaze locked onto my middle with a light, awed half smile on his lips. Gently, he pulled his hand from mine and rested it against my shirt there.

"Baby Wolf." Seth muttered, running his palm across my shirt. "I love it."

And maybe he was just talking about the nickname but something in his eyes told me there was more to it than that.


OMG, they are like already becoming a little family! I can't even! So, the next chapter is going to get like insanely dramatic, I think, and then one other chapter and that will conclude Without You. But fear not, I will begin working on a fourth installment as soon as I finish this one up and have that coming out ASAP.

Love you guys and your support. Comment and review, Baby Wolf won't make Erin sick if you do. Haha, psych! Erin is in for no fun when it comes to the morning sickness side of pregnancy.

Also, send me questions about the characters and storylines! I want to do a Q&A chapter at the end of this story if possible, so send in anything and I'll answer it as long as it doesn't spoil things :)
