X Summer

"I'm pregnant"

"Sorry?" He asked totally perplexed.

Oh please don't make me say it again! I thought.

His face was confused, as if I had just spoken in a foreign language.

I watched his eyes drop down to my arms that were cradling my stomach… they widened with some emotion; I couldn't tell if it was joy or pain.

Then the shaking started… first his hands and arms, he scuffled backwards, his eyes still locked on my arms.

He was on the opposite side of the clearing now, his body shaking so much it was blurred. There was a loud ripping sound then Embry exploded into wolf form…

My heart took off and I was fixed firmly on that log, Embry abruptly threw his head up an ear-splitting howl broke out of him. I cringed and held my hands over my ears.

I quickly got to my feet and with one last glance over my shoulder he was still howling up at the sky.

The keys were in his pocket but his jeans were shredded, I couldn't wait in the car, so I took off on foot half running half jogging.

The howling ended after a few minuets; every second it lasted was heart breaking. I couldn't believe I had caused him pain; I never wanted to do that again… I swore I wouldn't.

The sky had darkened a lot quicker than I thought possible and my breathing was coming in quick little gasps.

If I kept up my running a few months ago I wouldn't have been so puffed.

I slowed to a walk, I didn't want to fall over and hurt the baby.

Faintly I could hear the sound of traffic, I must be close to the highway.

My phone vibrated in my pocket giving me a fright.

"Hello?"

"Lexi? Where the hell are you?" Kora's voice was yelling through the phone.

"Uh, out walking. Why?" Not a lie.

"Is Embry with you?"

"No" even to me my voice sounded sad.

"You're walking around at night time…by yourself?" She screeched.

"Kora, I'll see you at home soon. Bye" I didn't wait for a response I clicked the phone off and continued down the dirt road.

I made it to the highway and I was about a mile out of La Push, great not far too go.

Embry's eyes had said it all, at first I wasn't sure if his eyes were happy but as soon as he phased I could see the disappointment in them, the howling was just the cherry on top. But I couldn't hurt this child; I wanted her (or him) I wanted a little Embry running around. She would have his eyes and silky black hair… in fact she could have all of Embry's perfect features.

My mind was thinking of the beautiful child in me, and subconsciously my hand was rubbing my stomach.

A car drove past then slammed on the brakes a little way past me, and then it slowly reversed. I debated to jump into the trees and run for it, but I stayed frozen…

"Lexi?" Leah's voice came from the car.

"Leah?" I gasped.

She stepped out of the car and ran over to me.

"What the heck are you doing out here?" She growled.

"I…Uh…"

"Come on, I'll drop you off" He tugged me to the car and opened the door for me.

I climbed in and we started down to La Push.

"So?" she glanced over at me.

"I went for a walk," I mumbled fidgeting with the belt.

"Talk to me Lexi… first I hear Embry howling for some reason… then I see you walking down the highway at night time."

The tears were coming again, my eyes started to sting and little droplets of salty water fell into my lap.

"Where were you today?"

"The doctors" I answered.

She was silent for a while when she turned into La Push she pulled over and stopped the car.

"You went to the doctors" she repeated, I could only nod and lower my head.

"You're pregnant" I nodded again.

"Well no wonder Embry was crying for bloody joy!" she crowed.

"That's awesome news Lex!" she leant over and hugged me.

"But that doesn't explain why you were walking down the highway…" in the dark I couldn't see her face but I'm sure she was smiling.

That was when her last comment hit me…

"What did you say before? He was howling…" I gasped.

"He was howling so excitedly I'm surprised he didn't pass out" She chuckled.

"No he was upset," I argued

"You thought he was…angry?" she sounded angry now.

"He was, his face was broken…" I sighed, trying not to remember his face at that point in time.

"His face has always looked broken," she laughed, I sighed again.

She stiffened "Shit…I have to go. Seth's calling me," she said turning the car on and taking off towards my house.

"Okay Lex, I'll come over whenever I can… but you need to believe me Embry was not upset!" she called through the window before she sped away.

I wandered inside, Kora was singing Karla to sleep, so I had a chance to grab some food and run into my bedroom out the back.

I thought over what Leah had said, could Embry really have been happy?

After eating a week's supply of food, and drinking enough water to drown a human, I curled up into a ball and cried myself to sleep.

I'm not sure when exactly my thoughts turned into a dream. One moment I'm thinking of Embry then I was holding a crying baby.

She was adorable, just as I had pictured. She was around two years old dark silky hair, with beautiful deep brown eyes. The baby quietened down and reached out to someone standing a few feet away from us. I followed the baby girl's eyes to see Embry… I smiled when I saw him, but his eyes held the sad, hurt expression he wore today, causing my smile to fade.

He stepped backwards shaking his head, as soon as he did that the baby girl started to whimper, and start calling him.

"Embry…don't leave us," I cried in harmony with the child, he was starting to disappear into the darkness.

The baby was crying and wailing now, tears flowed down my cheeks as I watched Embry walk away, leaving me alone…leaving us both alone.

My eyes flew open and I was trembling, I lay in bed breathless and chanting

"Just a dream, just a dream" over and over.

My heart slowed and eventually quietened down, I sat up and curled myself into a ball, pulling my legs to my chest and wrapping my arms tightly around them.

I saw something move in my peripheral vision; I didn't give me a fright though I already knew who it was.

"How long have you been here?" I asked in the darkness.

"A couple of hours" he replied.

I rested my chin on my knees and closed my eyes.

"Lexi…we need to talk" he was suddenly sitting on the bed beside me, but he never touched me. My body was screaming to touch his.

"I know," I whispered.

"I'm sorry about phasing before"

"S'Okay" I mumbled, my voice was muffled from my knee.

We sat quietly, I wondered if his thoughts were on the same path as mine.

"So…" I broke the silence

"I'm sorry for loosing it back there," he whispered.

"Don't worry about it. But…" I started, and then decided against it.

"But?" he asked

"Nothing" I shifted my weight.

"Please Lexi… I want to know what you are thinking"

"I was wondering about you're reaction" I finally said.

"Well whenever we have any heightened emotion it can trigger phasing." He explained.

"You were upset," I stated more to myself.

"No I wasn't"

"You phased Embry…" I reminded him.

"It was the total opposite actually" he leant closer.

"What?"

"Why would I be angry Lex? There is nothing I want more in this world than to have a family with you…the only reason I would be upset is if you were"

"I thought…you hated me…" I choked out blubbering.

"Shhh…its okay Lexi. I'm here," he repeated over and over.

"I thought … you were going to leave me," I cried in between sobs.

"I would never leave you Lexi Brown" he pulled me into his lap and cradled me.

My tears ran out – I had cried more today than ever had, in my life – and Embry leant against the headboard, still stroking my face.

"I love you," I said kissing his hand.

"I love you too" he softly said, "So…are we having a baby?" I could hear the excitement in his voice. I sat up and held his face between my hands.

"Yes" I smiled, "Yes…we are having a baby" I could see the giant grin spread across his face; he kissed me hungrily. He laid me on my back and kissed his way down my neck then over my breasts till he got to my stomach. He pulled my top up to expose the skin.

"Hello baby…" he cooed, tickling my ribs.

"He is going to be so cute Lex," he mumbled his lips against my tummy.

"I know Em" I sighed.

"I love you both… more than anything," He continued to lovingly talk to my stomach until sun started filtering through the blinds.
