First Trimester

Two Months Later

First Trimester:

There was a small to medium size baby bump like the size of a regular's woman whose at her third month. Reed was only at her second, but it was like she was at the end of the first trimester in "human" terms.

Jacob surrounded her and gawked at Reed's face.

Randomly he complimented, "You're glowing. You have pregnant woman's glow right now."

"Shut up and I might spare your hand during labor," she snapped back while crunching down on celery, "why are you making me eat this?"

"It's good for you," he retorted with his mouth hanging open.

Reed dipped the celery stick in Italian dressing, "Emmett lets me eat whatever I want."

"Emmett's not the father," Jacob simmered bitterly.

Reed glared at him and chowed down on another piece of the green vegetable.

Jacob got up from the chair and went up in front of Reed and wrapped his arms around her waist, "We're going to be so happy."

As Reed gulped, she squeezed Jake's hips, "Mhmm."

"These past two months have been unbearable, and I know it," Jacob commented.

Reed rolled her eyes and thought back to her first month. She had went to school and Emmett tagged along with her like they were conjoined twins.

"Emmett I am going to be okay," she hissed quietly to so one could hear, but him.

Emmett stuttered, "I just want. I jus-"

"I just want you to stop," Reed finished his sentence.

He bowed his head and started going to his actual class. She blew a breath out and went into AP Chem. Mr. Bolluck welcomed her in and she sat beside Mike Newton. Jasper was a across her at the lab table. Jazz could sense her anger.

She said only for him, "Is this you all's way on keeping an eye on me?"

Jasper nodded his head and Reed licked over her teeth, while tapping her pencil on the table. Then all of a sudden Reed jerked forward. Bile crept up her throat and she immediately covered her mouth and ran towards the door. Thankfully the girl's restroom was right across the hall from the lab. Reed made it to a stall and puked her guts and just maybe the baby. Guilty at the thought made her sick and she yakked up another round.

"Reed," someone called out.

With a hoarse voice Reed answered, "Yeah."

"It's me Angela, I just wanted to make sure you were okay," she stopped in front of the stall.

"I'm fine," she answered back.

Angela blew out a breath and said, "You're pregnant aren't you?"

"No no just got trashed last night," Reed lied and she knew she was not lying very well either.

"Reed," Angela elongated this time.

As Reed stepped out of the stall and made her way to the sink, she turned her head towards Angela and pleaded with her eyes, "Please don't tell anyone, especially not Jessica."

"I won't," and she squeezed Reed's shoulder and they went back to Mr. Bolluck's class.

Reed came out of the trance from along ago, and Jacob still embraced her.

You could slightly tell that Reed was pregnant if you looked hard enough. She barely showed which made her happy. In the meanwhile, Edward knew that Reed had to keep her mind open. That she had to change her plans with Emmett and Jacob all the time. Though being pregnant with Jacob's baby did help Reed. Alice's visions were blurry and she could not get a good reading as long as Reed was carrying his child.

"Jake, Angela is coming over so get lost for the time being," Reed lightly joked.

Jacob pecked her forehead, "Fine fine, I can tell when I am not wanted."

"Sure you do," she puckered her lips and pushed him out the door.

Five minutes later the doorbell rang and Angela stood on the porch. Rain came down in drizzles and Reed made them both hot tea.

Angela asked, "So how are you doing?"

"Not bad," Reed answered and drank some of her tea, "the morning sickness has gone and the cravings have started."

Angela chuckled at this, "You know if you told people they would not be surprised."

"Yeah, but they'll think I'm a slut," Reed replied.

'Trust me on this, I've been where you have been," Angela said calmly.

Reed's mouth dropped open, "What?"

A sad grin came upon Angela's face, "Yeah, just a few months before you came I delivered a healthy baby boy. But of course I could not keep him. I don't have the means to. Yet I did not let my pregnancy be a secret and the same people that hated me for no reason had their thoughts. But most of the people did not care and kept to themselves. All I'm saying is just think about it."

"You're full of surprises Miss Angela," Reed smiled without her teeth.

"As are you Reed Morrison," and they clinked mugs.

After Angela left Reed made her way to the bathroom and drew up a bath. She poured in the bubble and lavender salts. When she stepped in the water was steaming hot, just the way she liked it, and sat down breathing in the calming scent.

All of a sudden she heard a creak and her head snapped to the left. A shadow passed and Reed screamed, but then Emmett appeared. She threw a bar of soap at him, but he caught it.

Through gritted teeth Reed yelled, "I swear Emmett do not ever do that again!"

He cocked his head away from the sight of her naked body, "Sorry."

Reed could tell he felt uncomfortable, but an ounce of her wanted him to see her. She wanted him to hunger to kiss her skin, to have him rub up and down her body, to love each other. Emmett cleared his throat and she told him to give her a towel. He handed her one and without any warning just got out and wrapped it around her. Water dripping from her skin and onto the floor.

Reed held a lustful smile, "It's ironic how I've done practically everyone, except to the guy who I truly love."

"So were not equal?" Emmett asked as he gulped. Every male sensation wanted him to ravish her right then, but the old gentleman in him made him stop. Even though he could tell Reed wanted him to take charge.

"You win. I have had a long time to think about it and you win. You will always win. I love Jacob I truly do, but I know deep down that we do not belong together. Not like you and me," Reed finished out of breath.

"Maybe when this whole mess is over, we can finally be together," Emmett held a confident grin.

Reed squeaked, "Maybe." There was absolutely no way they could end up together. Jake and Emmett may not be equal and Emmett will win, but Reed cannot leave Jake either. The way she loves them are equal, but the way they love her are not. She knows that Jacob's love is blind. He has only loved her, and somehow she knows that she won't be the last. But for Emmett he has loved. Multiple times in fact. She can tell whenever he looks at her that she is all he sees. When they touch it is like an electric current flowing attaching their hormones and linking them with each other. And also, deep down inside Reed knows that she is Emmett's last love.
