Chapter 21- Alone in the Dark: Vadim Kiselev

Embry's P.O.V

A week... it's been a week and Kristen's still in a coma. You'd think that, since she's a wolf, she wouldn't even be in a coma. Every time I ask Carlilse if she could or is going to die, he always says that there's a very slim chance. I've been so worked up that Jake even had to get Jasper in here, just to get me to sleep. I hated him, at that moment, but only half-heartedly... I feel empty since I've been cut off Kristen's mind body. I held onto her left hand and rubbed circles, with my thumb, on the back of it. She's cold...

"It's okay, Embry," comforted Anna, "she'll be fine."

I shook my head as tears began to form, "You don't know that..." I held Kristen's hand up to my lips and kissed her fingers, "I just want her to wake up..."

"We all do, Embry," spoke Leah, sounding close to tears as well.

"Despite her crazy..." Spoke Jake, "she's a good person."

"She keeps us all together..." Sighed Seth.

There was a soft mix of uh-huh's and yeah's echoing through the pack. Tears, silently, slid down my cheeks as I held Kristen's fingers against my lips. Come on, Baby... just open your eyes. Let me know that you're okay...

Flashback

We were at Sam and Emily's reception, but we really didn't want to be there. Emily had Kristen in a brown bridesmaid dress that made her look stunning. It went all the way to the floor, was like a turtleneck, but the shoulders and to her mid back were cut out, and was made of a silky material. Her hair was up in one of those French buns that look like they're twisted into the hair, 'cause you can't see what's holding it in place. I went over to her and pulled her onto the dance floor.

I held her close and whispered in her ear, "You look so beautiful, Kristy."

She blushed, "Will the compliments ever cease?" She smiled.

I smiled and shook my head, "Never..." I kissed her temple, "'cause it's the truth in the compliments that make them so special and worthwhile."

She pulled back, held my head in her hands, and looked at me with tears filled eyes as she whispered, "I love you..."

"I love you..."

She got on her toes and we met in a kiss. No tongue... just sweet, tender, open mouthed, kisses. I held her close by wrapping my arms around her waist and she wrapped her arms around my neck, burying her fingers in my chin length hair. We parted and rest our foreheads against each other as we smiled. She took my hand and Emily came over and handed Kristen a blanket. We snuck off into the forest and walked 'till we found a grassy clearing. We laid out the blanket and Kristen took off her shoes before lying down on it. I took off the tuxedo jacket, my tie, untucked my shirt, took off my shoes, and undid the first few buttons of my dress shirt, before lying on top of her. I captured her lips in a kiss, fisted the silky material of her dress in my hands, and hiked her dress up. I bunched up her dress around her hips and it gave her enough freedom to spread her legs. I ran my hands up the outsides of her thighs, making her moan.

"Embry," she spoke through a break in our kissing, "wait..."

I supported myself on my forearms, "What is it, Kristy?"

"I need to tell you something..."

"Can't it wait?"

She shook her head, "Nope..."

"What is it?" She bit her bottom lip, "Kristy..."

"I'm pregnant..."

My eyes widened and I pushed her dress up to her ribs, exposing her stomach. I saw a small bump, not too noticeable...

I put my ear to her stomach and smiled, "You are... I'm gonna be a dad."

End of Flashback

Everybody had left and I remained at Kristen's side. I tried to find something to watch n the hospital's TV, but nothing was on. I turned the TV off, got up, and opened the blinds. We need some light in here... it's too gloomy and depressing. I sat back down, next to Kristen's bed and sighed as I listened to the sound of her breathing, her heartbeat, and the heart monitor beeping. I ran my fingers through her, silky, brown locks. Her hair still looks as healthy as the day before her premature labor. Even though she hadn't had a proper shower, dispute the nurses bathing her, her skin and hair is still flawless, not even oily. I heard a knock on the door and looked up to see Carlisle.

"I have med students here, mind if we come in?" He asked.

"No," I shook my head, "I don't mind..."

About seven med students followed Carlisle into the room and stood around Kristen's bed. As Carlisle explained what happened, Jena wheeled the twins into the room and over to me. They were as healthy as a child that went all the way to their due date, which is surprising after what had happened. Parker was sleeping, but Violet was awaking and looking around. I picked her up and crooned at her as I kissed her forehead. Several of the, girl, med students looked at me and Violet in awe... I didn't care. I only have eyes for Kristen... Violet started yawning and her eyes started drooping, so I put her back in the bassinet, next to a knocked out Parker.

"Michael, why don't you stay and keep Mr. Call company," spoke Carlisle, "Plus, you can do a routine check up on Miss Young, here."

"But-" started a man with pale skin and spiked, light, brown hair. He was tall and really skinny.

"We're just going to lunch, you won't miss anything. You're first in your class... I have faith in you."

Michael nodded and everyone else left. He took his glasses out of his lab coat pocket and put them on. He looked at me as he took the stethoscope draped over the back of his neck, "You don't mind if I do her check up, do you?"

He had a Scottish accent... I shook my head 'no' and he pulled her hospital gown down so he could see her chest. He only pulled it down the top of her breasts and pressed the stethoscope to the top left side of her chest, then her right. He put her hospital gown back in place, then moved to the end of her bed, to look at her chart.

He shook his head and let out an exasperated sigh as he looked up at Kristen, "Only 17..." He put her chart back and looked at me, "and you're her boyfriend?"

"Yeah..." I nodded, "and baby-daddy."

He went over to the bassinet, "They're adorable..."

"Just like their mother..."

He looked over at Kristen, "She is beautiful..."

"Yeah..." I sighed, "you should've seen her, when she was awake."

"Yeah?" He sat down on the other chair, next to me, "What was she like?"

"She's kind, funny, and so, so, talented..."

"What kind of talents?"

"She can draw, sing, play piano, and play acoustic and electric guitar. She also writes her own songs..."

"Wow.. she sounds incredible..."

"She is..." I pulled out my iPod touch and showed him my background; a drawing of two wolves with their backs only showing, tails intertwined, and heads leaning against each other, "See..."

His eyes widened, "She drew that?"

"Yep..." I pulled up a video I had saved, "she always knew how to make us smile."

I started the video and he took my iPod, to watch.

Video

Kristen was sitting at her piano, marking up sheet music, and I went up behind her. She turned to look at the camera...

"Bee in your bonnet, Embry?" She smiled.

"Just wanted to see what you're up to," I responded.

"Nothing new, now turn the camera off!"

"Mmm... nope! Your beauty is one to be captured in as many ways possible. So... I'm not stoppin'!"

"Give me the damn camera!"

She launched herself at me and I laughed, "Jake, take the camera!"

The camera was handed off to Jake, and he recorded Kristen tackling me to her bed. I pressed my lips to hers and she stopped hitting my chest, melting into it.

"That's shit!" Shouted Quil as he walked into view. Kristen flicked him off as he sat at her desk, "Naw, that's Embry's job." He smirked as he slapped her ass.

We sat up and Kristen glared at Quil as Jake snickered, "Easy, Killer..."

She realized that he had my iPod, "JACOB!" She tried to go after him, but I grabbed her by her waist and pulled her back onto the bed. I kissed her shoulder and she whimpered, "No, fair, Embry..."

"What's not fair?" I smirked, "That I'm at perfect liberty to do this?" I ran my hand down the length of her body and rest my hand on her hip as I kissed her neck.

"Aw, hell! Gimmie that!" Exclaimed Quil as he took the camera from Jake, and he got closer to us,"Embry Call being a normal, hormone riddled, teenager? This is some epic shit!"

"Fuck off, Quil!" I snapped.

"What was that?" He asked as he turned the camera onto himself, "Jerk off? No, thanks... You two are too armature." He gave Jake the camera, "So, let's fix that..." He got on the bed, in front of Kristen, and put his arm up as he humped her, "Woo hoo! Threesome!" Kristen kicked him to the floor, "Hey!"

"Stay off my bed, Sick-O..." She told him.

"That's not what you said, last night."

"Maybe not to Embry..."

"Oh!" Laughed Jake.

"What?" Exclaimed Quil, "I've had more experience than him!"

"Lotion, tissues, and your Internet service provider don't count." Kristen spoke as my chin rested in the crook of her neck.

Jake started cracking up, "Burn..."

"That's cold..." Quil told her.

She smirked, "So's your bed at night..."

"Damn!" Laughed Jake, "She's ridin' you!"

"No," Kristen shook her head, "just Embry." I blushed and buried my face in her curls, she smiled and started singing as she held my arms around her, "If I said my heart was beating loud, if we could escape the crowed somehow. If I said I want your body, now... would you hold it against me? 'Cause you feel like paradise, and I need a vacation, tonight. If I said I want your body, now... would you hold it against me?"

"You're too much, sometimes," I grumbled into her hair.

"Oh, you like it!" She slapped my hand.

"Yeah..." I kissed her cheek, "I do..."

Kristen wiggled out of my arms and went to sit back at her piano. She started marking up her sheet music, again, and Jake went over to her, with the camera.

"You gonna play somethin', Kris?" Asked Jake.

"Will you guys stop bugging me, if I do?" She asked.

"Yes..."

"Alright, then..."

She put her pencil down and moved her sheet music off to the side. She picked up her binder and got out a different song. She put the music on the piano and started playing and singing.

My black backpack's stuffed with broken dreams

Twenty bucks should get me through the week

Never said a word of discontentment

I fought it a thousand times, but now

I leaving home

Here, in the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I have nowhere else to go, but

I cannot stay where I don't belong

Two months pass by, and it's getting cold

I know I'm not lost I'm just alone

But I won't cry

I won't give up

I can't go back now

Waking up is knowing who you really are

Here, in the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I have nowhere else to go, but

I cannot stay where I don't belong

In the shadows

I'm safe

I'm free

I have nowhere else to go, but

I cannot stay here, oh

Show me the shadow where true meaning lies

So much more is made in empty eyes

End of Video

Michael gave me back my iPod as he spoke, "Her voice sounds beautiful..."

"Yeah..." I looked at the twins, "I hope that, if they get any talent, it comes from Kristen."

"They'd be very lucky, if they did..." he looked at Kristen, "she's incredible."

"She really is..." Kristen groaned in her sleep and I flew to her side, "Kristy..." She moved her head from side to side as she groaned and put her hand to her forehead, "Oh, my, God..."

"Embry?" She asked, voice hoarse.

"Oh, my, God..." Tears slid down my cheeks, "you're awake!"

"Embry... water..."

I helped her sit up and gave her a drink of water. I put the water down, hopped into the hospital bed with her, and wrapped my arms around Kristen as I pressed my lips to her temple. Michael had run out of the room to get Carlisle...

"Embry," she whispered.

"What is it, Baby?" I asked, looking down at her.

"The twins?"

I smiled at her, "Violet and Parker..."

I got out of bed, picked up Parker out of the bassinet, and handed him to Kristen, then got back in next to her.

Her eyes started watering, "A baby boy... he's adorable."

"Here's Violet..." I grabbed the edge if the bassinet and wheeled it towards me. Then, I turned so I could pick her up.

Kristen ran a finger down Violet's cheek as she smiled down at her, "She's beautiful..."

A couple weeks later, Kristen and the twins got to come home. I laid Parker and Violet down for bed and grabbed a glass if ice water, from the kitchen. I went upstairs and went to the bathroom adjoined to our room. Kristen was taking a bath, candles lit, and her hair pinned up. I turned off the light and she looked at me, giving me a small smile.

"Mind if I join you?" I smiled.

"Of course..." She grinned.

I gave her my glass and she held it as I stripped off my clothes. I slipped in, in front of her, and put my glass on the counter. I wrapped my arms around her knees and kissed them, once. We started kissing and I slipped my right hand in between her thighs. I ran a finger down her slit and she pulled back a little.

"Embry," she spoke in between my kisses, "Embry," she started pulling away.

"Kristy..." I whispered.

"Embry... Embry, I'm cold."

"Just stay here for a few more moments."

"No, Embry, I'm cold..." She stood up and stepped out of the tub, my hand slipping out of hers. She wrapped a towel around herself and looked at me. "Coming to bed, soon?" She asked.

"Yeah..." I nodded, "in a little bit."

"M'kay..."

She left the bathroom and I sighed as I relaxed in the tub. Cold? There's no way... something's up. 'Cause I know that's not the reason she stopped me...

Author's Note: Woo hoo! She's okay! :D Review?:3
