Thank you all for the reviews!!!!
Jacob's POV
"HOW THE FUCK CAN YOU SPRING SOMETHING LIKE THAT ON ME?!" she screamed at me. I had just gotten home from patrolling, it was around midnight and of course instead of sleeping she was watching some bad movie on TV and stuffing her face with chips and pickles.
"Because it's the truth," I replied, not at all intimidated by her outrage. I needed to thank the baby when it got here for keeping her from kicking my ass on multiple occasions.
"ARE YOU FUCKING INSANE, BLACK?!" she continued shouting, she was in front of me poking me and getting in my face. "THERE IS SOME WAR ABOUT TO HAPPEN AND YOU THINK THIS IS THE TIME FOR THIS?"
I was a little surprised she hadn't phased by now. "Leah, you need to calm down. Think about the baby."
"Don't you tell me to calm down, you bastard. You did this to me, and now you are making it worse!" she said stepping back and crossing her arm over her chest. She was now almost four months pregnant and her belly was quite noticeable. I was so tired of waiting for those leeches to attack, Alice was getting frustrated because they kept changing their minds. It should have happened over a month ago. We are all afraid we are underestimating them. I wanted to get this battle over with.
"This is hardly making it worse," I argued back. I expected this sort of reaction from her, she wouldn't be pleased with what I wanted. I felt a little guilty, but she needed to know how I felt.
"No!" she demanded. "No! You are so selfish, Jacob!"
"I am not being selfish," I told her. "We can't raise the baby like this."
"Why not?" she demanded. "You have been fine with me for the four months. What changed suddenly?"
I let out a frustrated growl. Why couldn't she see how important this was. "Because it won't work," I said.
"Only because you don't want it to," she hissed. "Its always about you, isn't it. How does this affect you at all? I am the one who has to walk around with our escapades on my stomach!"
"Leah, you are blowing way out of proportion," I reasoned with her.
"No I am not!" she screamed. "You are ruining everything. You are changing the plan!"
"Well I never agreed to that plan, damn it!" I felt like punching the wall, but that would only make her more angry. "Look at things from my point of view."
"I don't give a shit about things from your point of view!" she retorted. "I hate you, Jacob Black. I fucking hate you!"
"I am not doing this to hurt you!" I yelled back.
"Sure you aren't," she said quietly. Oh shit, pregnancy hormones kicking in. Tears welled in her eyes. I hated how being pregnant caused Leah to cry at the smallest things now. Okay well this wasn't a small thing. "You don't care about what I want!"
"Lee," I said, coming up and wrapping my arms around her holding her in front of me. "I want to do this for you. Please?"
"I don't want to," she pouted, the tears stopped as quickly as they came.
"Its not so bad," I said.
"Why are you doing this to me?" she whispered.
"Because I love you," I said while kissing her forehead. "It will be quick. We won't make a big deal about it."
"Why, Jake?" she asked.
"I am somewhat offended by your reaction," I teased her. "Would it be that bad to marry me?"
"Yes," she said, then looked up at me. "Are you doing this because of the baby?"
"No, Lee! I would want to marry you whether you were pregnant or not. But since you are I think we should hurry it up. You know planning a wedding while changing diapers and making bottles doesn't seem like the best combination." I could tell by the look in her eyes she was warming up to the idea.
"I don't want anything big," she said finally. "Can't we just like elope or something?" I hugged her to me.
"No," he smiled. "The pack and our families will want to be there. Your mom will kill me if she found out we eloped without telling anyone."
"God, you are going to make me go through the whole process?" she groaned. "Jake I am so not the girl who dreams about this whole fairytale wedding."
"Just a small ceremony? You in a white dress, me in a tux. Our family gathered around." I pleaded. "It won't be so bad."
"I don't think I am allowed to wear white," she stated, indicating her growing belly. "That is like a written rule."
"Okay you can wear orange for all I care. I just want to marry you."
"Why?"
"Because I love you and I want to make you mine forever," I said. "We are already living together, we are having a kid, we are running a pack, why not add marriage to that mix?"
She let out a sigh. "And this will make your girly ass happy?"
"The happiest girly man on earth," I smiled at her.
"Ugh! Fine, but no one is dressing me up in one of those puffy hideous dresses. And I don't give a shit about a leech war, I am not walking down the aisle while I am about to explode," she grumbled.
"So that is a yes?"
"Yes moron," she rolled her eyes. "The things I do for you." I pulled her into a hug and then slipped a ring on her finger. She looked at it and her expression lit up instantly. "You bought a ring?"
"It was my mom's," I explained. "I asked Billy for it a few weeks ago. I even asked your mom for permission."
"My mom knows?" she was suddenly horrified.
"Uh yeah about that," I cleared my throat. "She kind of has already started planning it."
"You let my mother plan my wedding that I didn't even know about!?"
"She knew you wouldn't want to do anything," I said, backing up as she walked towards me. "I- she promised to keep things simple."
"So what, you guys were so sure I was going to say yes?" she said, backing me into a wall.
"Come on, I am irresistible," I told her. She was not amused.
"I can't stand you!" she said.
"That's not what you were saying this morning," I teased. "In fact, if I remember correctly you were calling me your god."
"If you ever want to touch me again you will shut the fuck up," she said, admiring the ring. It was a simple round diamond with two smaller diamonds one on each side of it. "We are really doing this?"
I nodded my head then kissed her softly. "Yeah we are."
"Ew," she said after a moment.
"What?" I asked, curious to know what brought on her sudden disgust.
"My name is going to be Leah Black!" I pulled her into a hug and laughed at her. That was my fiancée.
