Stay

Before Nahuel or I could register Carlilses words the whole family bundled in. They had balloons and banners and popping celebrations. On thier faces a range of expressions; Jake, Embry and Seth almost angry, Emmett and Jasper confused, Esme, Edward, Alice and Isis concerned and Rosalie, Bella, Nessie, Cataleya and my mom excited and happy.

"CONGRADULATIONS LEAHH!" Rosalie and my mother came hugging me.

"Congradulations? What is wrong with you? Those things are going to kill her! We have to get rid of them!" Nahuel snapped.

He gripped my arm tightly and shook it violently. Rosalie grabbed him and ripped us apart sending him flying into the wall opposite.

"You will not touch her or the babies." She snarled. My mother, Bella, Alice and Cataleya took defensive positions around me. Nahuel moved to go attack Rosalie when Edward and Jasper took his arms. They held him back as Emmett stood overpoweringly in front of him.

"Carlilse even said the pregnancy is much like Bella's. If one child meant Bella died, then three will kill her!" Nahuel said angry.

" Nahuel I'm strong enough. Believe in me, I can do it. " I pleaded with him.

"Leah, this will kill you. I won't lose you, none of us will." Seth said as he was backed up by a series of nods from Embry, Jacob and Isis.

"Doc, there's got to be someway of getting rid of them?" Jacob asked.

"NO ONE IS HARMING MY BABIES. IM HAVING THEM AND THAT'S IT." I yelled at the top of my voice.

There was silence in the room for a long time. Nessie and Cataleya quickly left as the drama escalated.

"Leah, I think you should think about this. If things go wrong, badly, we can't save you like we did Bella. Vampire venom will kill you." Carlilse said tactfully.

"Maybe you could try again for another child." Esme said kindly.

"I wasn't able to get pregnant before who says it will happen again?" I asked.

"My Leah is right. I know you think I don't know enough about it, but I know enough about Leah. I know she is strong enough for this, she will live through it." My mother pleaded with the family.

"And what if she isn't strong enough? What if she dies?" Nahuel said coldly.

Suddenly Alice gasped and began screaming, she went into a trance like she usually did when having a vision. Everyone stared contently as Edward and eventually Cataleya shared the vision.

"Alice? What is it? What did you see?" Jasper said letting go of Nahuel and going to his mate.

"I saw Leah. She was giving birth and,-and all of a sudden I was somewhere else. I was at a funeral, only I didn't recognize the place and there was a bunch of other people there I didn't know either." She elaborated.

"Who's funeral was it?" A teary Seth asked.

"I don't know." Alice said looking to me. Those who were on my side were suddenly against me, their faces changed to pure horror. I could tell they wanted to get rid of my babies but that would never happen, I would kill every last one of them if it did.

"Get out! All of you get out!" I despaired. Some hesitated but saw I was not joking and followed after the rest. Rosalie and Bella waited by the door to make sure everyone left. Nahuel was last to go as he gave me a pained look as he walked out the door.

The rest of the day was a blur. I stayed in Carlisle's medical room the rest of the day. I had heard the family have a meeting about me but I could not be bothered to listen. I had numbing pain in my chest, probably from all the arguements and disagreements with my imprint. Rosalie and Bella took shifts guarding me weary that someone might upset me. Later on after some shuffled arguments between Edward and Rosalie he came in.

I was sat on the sofa covered with a blanket as he came and joined me. I looked up at him and gave him a weak smile.

"How are you feeling?" He asked concerned.

"Could be better."

"...and the babies?" He said kindly.

"They're good."

"I know how he's feeling." There was an awkward silence that filled the space between us.

"He scared, no, terrified that he will lose you." He explained.

"I know." I admitted.

"Then talk to him instead of being cooped up in here all day." He urged helping me up. He walked linking arms with me to the door. Rosalie scowled at him as we walked past together.

I found Nahuel sitting in our usual spot by the stream. I slowly sat down beside him and fell into his warm embrace. He held onto me like he was losing me, tightly, desperately.

"Stay with me Ley-ah." He whispered into my neck.

"I'm not going anywhere."

"You vowed to love me for the rest of eternity." He said seriously peering into my eyes; looking into my soul.

"I said I'm not going anywhere. I will love you for the rest of eternity."

" If you die?"

"I'll still love you." I reassured him.

"I can't live without you."

"You won't be without me. I'll be in your heart and you'll have three beautiful parts of me to love."

"I can't love any of them if they take you away from me." He said coldly.

"Am I not enough anymore? If you wanted children you know there are other ways." He pleaded.

" You've always been more than enough. I don't want other children, I want our children."

He began to get angry again.

" Díos meu, why are you so stubborn. I put my heart on the line, my everything, for you. You are going to rip my heart out." He raged in his strong Portuguese accent.

"Would you have wanted your mother to get rid of you so she could have lived?" I asked trying to reason with him. He hesitated for a few moments before he answered saying,"I don't know."

"Would she have rid you if she had the chance?" I asked again.

"No." He answered defeated.

"Why?"

"What do you mean?"

"I said why, why wouldn't she want to get rid of you?" I said placing my hand on his chest.

"Because she loved me too much."

"Now you know why I won't."

"But you're choosing to leave me. My mother had no one to lose over me." He said fire still in his eyes.

"I'm not choosing that. You won't believe that I'm strong enough to survive, I-"

"BECAUSE YOU'RE NOT!" He shouted. He yelled then slammed his fist into the ground next to me. I had never seen him so enraged and essentially there was nothing I could do about it. He scared me but only because he was scared of losing the only person he has ever loved. Milliseconds later Bella and Rosalie appeared pulling Nahuel away from me.

" Not the right way to go about it Nahuel." Bella warned.

"I swear you ever even think about hurting her, I'll kill you, halfbreed. Imprint or no imprint." Rosalie spat out acidicly.

Bella shot her a sideways glance which she ignored completely set on Nahuel. They stared eachother down until he looked down ashamed and retreated to the house.

The next two weeks we argued almost everyday. Nahuel hadn't smiled, laughed or even touched me since the day by the river. Eventually we both got tired of arguing and Carlilse said the stress my affect the growth of the babies so we stopped talking altogether. I was determined for us to get through this, eventually he would give in and everything would be alright. I hoped. It had been another week since we stopped talking. I was now five weeks pregnant but because of my three fast growing babies I looked nearly five months pregnant. Carlilse had said I only looked big because of the three of them but I was probably only about three months pregnant. My belly protruded out noticeably and I had lost a lot more weight now; my bones were more visible because of the weight loss.

I was sat out by the recently bought hanging chairs in our back garden when Nahuel appeared.

"I don't want argue anymore Ley-ah." He said kindly kneeling and placing his head on my lap. I was hoping would eventually support me, and I think this is it.

"I never wanted to argue Nahuel."

"I love you me encantaye." He said smiling brightly.

"I love you too baby...we all do." I said jokingly. He fidgeted uncomfortably at the mention of our babies.

We talked and talked and laughed and laughed for a few more hours. It was perfect, I was happy, we were happy. He suddenly hugged me then his lips found mine. It had been so long since we touched, I had been aching for him; this is where I belonged in his arms. His kiss was desperate, urgent as he eagerly slid his tongue into my mouth. His intoxicating scent surrounding me and making me feel whole again. Nothing could ruin this moment because nothing had ever been more perfect the right now.

He pulled away with tears in his eyes. I could understand if they were happy tears or sad tears or what. I pulled a bit of his hair that was overhanging away from his face and kissed his cheek gently. He placed his hand on my protruding belly and rubbed loveingly. He didn't take his eyes off me as the tears started falling. He got up to leave but not before giving me a kiss on my forehead. Confused as to the direction he was going I asked,

"Wait, where are you going?" He turned around and smiled at me.

"Nowhere, I'll be right back. Stay here." He said as he continued to walk away.
