KORA'S POINT OF VIEW.
When Embry told Tanya straight up that Lexi was pregnant I wasn't expecting it.
Normally the guy would beat-around-the-bush or make excuses, but not Embry.
I was going to watch Tanya's reaction but I couldn't look away from him, the way he said 'Lexi and I are having a baby,' it was proud almost gloating. I felt relief and happiness for Lexi, she deserved happiness more than anyone. But there was something else, some small part of me was jealous; jealous at the fact such strong love existed. I wanted it; I wanted to be someone's lifeline, to wake up to someone smiling at me.
I was brought back to reality when Embry stepped forward to Tanya, a worried expression on his face.
"Mom?"
I looked over at Tanya; she was turning a dark red under her russet skin.
"Tanya…are you okay?" Lexi stepped forward also, and reached out to her.
"Don't touch me" Tanya snatched her hand away.
"Tanya, I'm sor-" Lexi started
"Don't you dare say you're sorry," Tanya hissed at Lexi.
"Mom, don't" Embry sighed.
"No, it's fine Em. She's right" Lexi dropped her head. Tanya's voice went up 2 octaves and she started yelling.
"You told me you loved him Lexi, then why are you ruining his life? How can you sit here and expect me to accept this! You're both not even 18 yet. I knew you were different Lexi, but to get yourself pregnant to try and hold onto my son is just wrong. You are worst than all the other girls…you are ruining his life! You and that thing!"
I looked around the room, disgusted that Embry hadn't put a stop to her horrible remarks…but he spoke.
"You will not talk to Lexi like that. She is the most important person in my life and I will not let you hurt her." As he said that he pulled Lexi to his side but positioned his body so he was shielding her.
"How can you Embry? I'm you're mother"
He took a deep breath then spoke in a softer tone.
"You are my mother, and I love you, but you need to be happy for us, happy for me."
"How can I be happy when she is ruining you're life?" Tanya hissed.
"I've already told you not to speak to Lexi like that Mom,"
It was odd listening to a teenage boy telling his mom off for being rude to his pregnant girlfriend.
"I will speak to her however way I like Embry Call…I know what's going to happen. I've seen it a thousand times, you think it will be all lovey-dovey then the baby comes. You get tired of each other and she will leave you. All broken and hurting."
"That wont happen, I love her," he growled.
"HA! What do you know of love Embry? You're 17!" she snarled.
"How could you fall for that Embry, I thought you were smarter than that…you had a future a head of you, now you are being held back" she pointed a finger at Lexi's tummy.
"Don't you dare say she is holding me back," he growled.
"That's what's going to happen," she snapped.
"Lexi and our child, is the only thing worth living for. I love you mom but if you can't accept that, then we have a problem.
"We certainly do have a problem…she's the problem" She barked, that was when I snapped, I grabbed Tanya's arm.
"We need to talk" I dragged her into the next room.
"You have got to agree with me Kora, honestly you have to see the destruction that will cause" I stopped and spun around, furious.
"How dare you come into my house and call my sister those horrible names! Firstly how can you only blame Lexi? Last time I checked, there has to be two people present to conceive a child. Secondly, anyone could see the love they share, it isn't a little high school romance, it's the real deal."
Tanya was speechless for a few seconds then she glared.
"You out of everyone should see what this will do to his life…they're to young to have a baby, its just a crush."
"Yes I know what it is like to be a young mom but I also know what a blessing it is. Now, you are underestimating Lexi and Embry's maturity, and not to mention love."
I said angrily, she wasn't going to back down any time soon.
"They are kids, what do they know about love?"
"A lot more than you give them credit for. Just listen to them Tanya, listen to what they have to say," I was pleading now; I just wanted her to be happy for them.
"I don't want to listen to them, I already know what they are going to say," She laughed darkly.
Then the kitchen door opened and Embry walked in trailing Lexi behind him.
"I have something I need to say Mom…" His voice was composed again but you could see the hurt in his eyes.
"Mom, I love her. It sounds like a bad romantic story but Lexi is the one and only thing that holds me to this earth. Now I have two people that holds me here…Lexi and our child. We are going to have this baby, and the baby will grow up in the most loving and caring family…you can make the decision if you're a part of it or not." With that he took Lexi and they slipped out the backdoor with not another word.
Tanya was wordless again, she watched Embry walk off and I could imagine she felt like she was watching Embry walk out of her life.
"Tanya, I'm sorry" I said and pulled her into a hug.
"He really means it, doesn't he?" he whispered.
"I think you need to make the decision if you are going to be a part of their lives."
"How can I watch Embry get hurt?" she asked.
"Embry, being a father at 17?" she sounded like she was choking.
"He will make a wonderful dad," I said.
"How can you know?"
"He is amazing with Karla and Claire," I pointed out.
"He never had--" she suddenly stopped.
"He never had a father figure?" I finished her question.
She nodded. "Lexi spoke to me about that." I admitted.
"He might not of had a dad, but now he knows what he doesn't want to be like. Tanya you raised Embry alone, and now he is a mature loving kind young man, who has just found love that neither you nor I have experienced. We shouldn't push them away Tanz we should be pulling them to us not pushing them away. They need us more than ever and we can't give up on them now. I'm not Lexi's parent but it doesn't mean that I don't love or care for her. I want her to be happy and she has assured me that her happy place is when she is with Embry. You need to think about Embry's needs over yourself."
She sighed, "I need to think. I have to go." She walked to the front door and left without another word.
I flopped down on the couch and closed my eyes; I was exhausted.
Crap today has been hectic!
The shrill ringing of the phone broke through my lovely dreamless sleep.
I groaned and reluctantly pulled myself off the couch and answered the phone.
"Hello"
"Hello my name's Dr Carlisle Cullen…I was hoping to speak with Lexi" this man's voice was beautiful, it sounded like chiming bells.
"Uh Lexi's with Embry at the moment. Can I help with anything?"
" I was eager to get her in here for a check up" he explained.
"Well what day and time Dr Cullen?" I also was eager to get her in for her first scan.
"Tomorrow is free with her doctor, at 10am?"
"Sounds perfect Dr Cullen. I will pass that onto Lexi."
"Thank you." I hung up the phone and started out to Lexi's room.
KNOCK KNOCK
Embry opened the door with a weary look on his face.
"Is she okay?" I whispered.
He shook his head "She's taking everything mom said seriously, she keeps saying that she's holding me back."
"She'll be okay Em" I tried to smile.
"Thank you, for the things you said to mom. It means a lot to us that you are happy for us." He gave me a half hug.
"No problem, can I come in? I think I have some news that will cheer her up"
Lexi was lying in bed, her eyes had red rims around them and her face was flushed.
It always scared me when Lexi cried; she was so strong.
"Lex hon, I have some good news" I sat on the bed and stroked her cheek.
"What?"
"Dr Cullen called. You have an appointment tomorrow" I smiled.
"With Carlisle?" Embry asked.
"No, Dr Samson but you get a scan" A smile broke out on her face.
"I get to see her? Really?" She sat up.
"Yes Lex, you get to see her or …him."
She jumped on me and hugged her.
"Thank you thank you thank you!" she sang making me laugh.
"No problem, you should thank Dr Cullen though"
She let me go and ran to Embry's waiting arms.
"We get to see her Em…Wait" she pulled back and looked at him seriously, "you're not running patrols tomorrow, are you?" Embry's eyes flashed to me but he must have seen the confused look on my face because he smiled down at her and kissed her gently.
"I wouldn't miss it for the world."
She beamed up at him… I silently excused myself from the room.
There was just too much love in that room, it was gorgeous but also suffocating.
I couldn't help but to be jealous of them.
But I walked inside too go see my little sunshine, the love of my life.
My Karla.
A/N: The reason i chose to write this chapter in Kora's Point Of View was beacuse i wanted everyone to understand her reaction to Embry and Lexi's news.
