Preparations
I was suffocating. I couldn't breathe or think properly. Everything around me was overpowering my senses. I was afraid that my high levels of stress were going to harm my unborn child. I was under so much strain, coming from every angle of my life. I needed to chill and just relax, but every time I did try, someone was pressuring me to speak about that night. My mind was constantly replaying the events that happened a few weeks ago. I held the phone tightly to my chest and sighed. I needed to take small and steadied steps. I needed to do one thing at a time. I needed to get over the hassle of telling my wolf-pack family that my mother was a vampire.
"Hello, this is Dr. Tulloch's office, how may I help you." a sweet and polite voice said on the other line of the phone.
"Hello," I paused and gulped. "My name is Madison Ferreira and I would like to schedule an appointment with Dr. Tulloch, please."
I chewed on the side of my lip, as I waited for the receptionist's reply. "Of course, have you been seen by Dr. Tulloch before, Ms. Ferreira?"
"No, I have not." I paused and sighed. "My mother gave me this number to make an appointment."
Oh, even this was making me nervous. I didn't know what to do with my life. I wanted to run away from everything, but that would imply that I was a weakling and I was not a weak person. I had overcome many obstacles in my life and this one, was not an exception; I was going to conquer it head-on!
"Before I schedule the appointment, there are a few questions that I would like to ask you, Miss." she said in her melodious voice.
"Sure, go ahead." I said, rolling my eyes annoyance. Why did I need to be interrogated, just to make an appointment and be seen by a damn OB/GYN?
"Alright," she sighed and I heard the stroking of the keyboard through the phone. Damn, she was fast.
"Why do you want to see Dr. Tulloch?" she asked.
Well, let's see! I am seventeen years old. I got to freaky with this guy that I met on the woods and fucked him, until we were caught by his friend. Skip a few months into the future; I kept on fucking him and I got pregnant; anything else that you might want to know? I thought wryly.
"I think that I might be pregnant." I blurted out.
"How old are you, ma'am?" she asked, typing something in the computer.
None of your business! I looked around my living room and spotted a picture of Embry and me. I smiled to myself and sighed. I love that man so much!
"I am seventeen years old." I replied, as I adjusting my short skirt.
"When was your last menstrual period?" she asked.
OK, I last had my period on November 27th of last year, so that means… Shit, thirteen weeks already?!
"Um, well, about ten weeks or thirteen weeks ago." I blurted out. "I also think that I am pregnant, but I already mentioned that, right?" I said nervously.
"Do you want Dr. Tulloch to give you a pregnancy test to determine if you truly are pregnant?" she asked, emphasizing on the word 'pregnant'.
Duh, you prude! Of course, I want to really confirm that I am preggos! Why do you think that I am making this appointment? Can she be any dense?
I shuddered at the thought of becoming a young mother. At least, I had the support of my boyfriend and my mother. I felt safe and even though, this was a scary journey, I was going to give it my best. I had faith that I was going to be a pretty descent mother, to Zeus.
"Yes, I would like that very much. Thank you." I said, gnawing my lip.
"Of course, let me put the data in the computer. And Ms. Ferreira, what day do you have in mind, and do you want a morning or evening appointment?" she asked kindly.
"Um, I don't care." I paused. "Do you have one for tomorrow?" I asked, crossing my fingers.
"Alight, please give me a second to verify if we have any available slots for tomorrow... I will put you on hold briefly, Ms. Ferreira."
"Sure, just hurry up." I muttered.
I hated waiting. I had been on hold for two minutes and I was anxious to get this over with. I checked my wrist watch and looked at the time. Embry was going to be home pretty soon. I know that he was being patient with me, but I didn't want to talk to him yet. I wanted to wait a bit longer.
"Ms. Ferreira?" the receptionist asked, bringing me back from my reverie. I mumbled and she quickly apologized in her harmonious voice. "I am sorry about the wait, ma'am."
"It's alright." I garbled, staring at the front door. "Do you have any opening for tomorrow or the following day?"
"Yes, ma'am we do! We have a few open slots for tomorrow at eight thirty, nine forty-five and ten thirty-five in the morning. Would eight thirty be a convenient time for you, Miss?"
"Uh, sure, eight thirty in the morning is perfect." I stuttered, as I stood from the couch and walked to the window. I peeked outside and saw the gray sky. Perfect, it matches my mood.
"Alright, let me place your name in the computer." she clicked on the keyboard and after a few minutes, her voice echoed through the phone. "OK, Ms. Ferreira, Dr. Tulloch will see you tomorrow at eight thirty in the morning. Please bring your insurance card, a form of identification and a person older than twenty-one years old to act as your guardian. Also, please be at the office, fifteen minutes prior to your appointment. There are a few medical forms that we'll need prior to Dr. Tulloch seeing you. Is there anything else that I can help you with?" she offered.
"No, I am fine. Thank you. I will see you tomorrow." I managed to say.
"Have a wonderful day and good bye." she said cordially.
"Bye." I muttered and closed my cell phone shut.
I sighed and flopped back on the couch. I covered myself with the blanket and waited for Embry to come home. I waited for about forty minutes more, when my cell phone rang. I opened it, without glancing at the front screen of the phone to check the caller ID, to see who was calling.
"Hello," I said annoyed, switching the phone to my other ear. It better not be Sam again!
"Madison?" a husky voice said. Damn, it was Sam Uley, again!
"Who else could it be?" I snarled annoyed. This was the tenth time that he called this week. Didn't he get tired of being rejected?
"Oh, I am sorry." he chuckled. "It's Sam." he said, his tone turning serious.
"How can I help you, Sam?" I asked curtly.
"We still have a conversation pending." he said irritated.
"We do?! I wasn't aware of it!" I said derisively.
"Can I stop by, this evening to speak to you regarding…"
"I have nothing to say to you, Sam so please leave me alone." I snapped, cutting him off.
"Madison, we have to speak. You have insight regarding those vampires that held you and your brother captive. We need to know what they want. Do it for the safety and security of the people of La Push." he said angrily. "Please."
"Has Mercury said anything?" I asked uncouthly.
I heard him sigh on the other line. I could picture his solemn expression. I swear that there were times that I didn't like him. How could Emily tolerate that that gloomy guy?
"He won't agree to speak with me, unless you are present." he whispered.
"Too bad that Mercury and I don't get along. There is nothing left for me to say. Leave me alone and good bye." I retorted furiously.
I hung up on him and threw my cell phone against the easy chair. It bounced high on the chair and then it landed on the floor.
I needed a break. Damn it! I needed a fucking break from all this shit! I needed to get away from all the fucking madness that was constantly plaguing my life! La Push was slowly killing me. I walked to the kitchen and grabbed a bite of the apple cobbler my aunt Ryona made for me and placed it back in the fridge. I was hungry for real food! I wanted some Brazilian or Cuban or Indian or Chinese food to calm my spirit. Yes, some comfort food to help me relax!
"I'm home, Lucy!" Embry shouted happily, as he entered the kitchen. I was still contemplating what to eat. I felt Embry's strong, warm hands seize both sides of my waist, as he pulled me to him.
"Hi, Em." I said, letting his glorious smell engulf me. His arms had the unique ability to calm me down. I pressed my back closer to his chest and felt safe, once again.
"Hi, precious." he mumbled in to my ear, as he kissed my neck. "How is the baby?" he asked softly, placing his hands on my stomach.
"Fine, I guess." I shrugged. He slid his hand under my shirt and glided it upwards, until it was resting on my left breast.
"You feel fine to me, Mrs. Call." he mumbled, kissing my shoulder, as his hand carefully cupped my breast.
Mrs. Call? I loved the sound of it!
"You feel fine," he moaned, turning me around to face him. "So very fine, Madison."
I opened my mouth to speak, but his lips were already on mine. "I want you, baby." he groaned, placing a caring hand on my temple, as he pulled my face to his. His lips came crashing hard against mine. I could feel the need and desire behind the force of his kisses. His free hand rested in my inner thigh, kneading it softly and his tongue glided over my lower lip. He gently lifted me up in his arms, and swiftly ambled to the living room.
"Did you know that I gained five pounds in the last few days?" I asked him, as he gently placed me down on the sofa.
"No," he said, as he hurriedly removed his white tee shirt. "But isn't it normal in pregnant women?"
He unbuckled his pants and quickly took them off. He stood before me, gloriously naked. He was perfect. Everything about him was perfect. Yes, he was perfection! Everything from his hair, all the way down to every specific and intricate detail of his body was flawless. I reached my hand to touch his erection. I felt it pulsated under my touch. I stared up at him and could see the passion in his eyes.
He smiled down at me, as he parted my legs with his knee. "Embry." I whispered, as his hands rested on my shoulder and slowly pushed me against the couch.
"Madison," he smiled. "I love you. Let me be inside you, baby.""
He pulled my skirt up, as he slowly slithered between my legs. I held my breath, as his hands slowly roamed every corner of my body. Desire was written on his face and his hands were executing his commands and wishes. He gently pulled up my flimsy shirt, until my breasts were fully exposed. He smiled, bringing his mouth over my right breast.
I closed my eyes, as his tongue playfully circled my taut nipple. The heat of his body covered me like a warm blanket, as his hand tenderly played with the waistband of my panty. "I'm going to do wonderful things to you tonight." he moaned, against my breast. Oh, I believed him!
His tongue continued to flicker over my rigid nipple, sending liquid heat waves down my body, reverberating in to my core. I was drenched in desire for him. My core was softly getting wet, as he continued to touch me in places that only responded to his touch. He suckled my nipple, biting it gently with his teeth, while his fingers, cautiously trespassed the barrier of my panty.
"Umm, Embry." I moaned in delight, as his forefinger, touched the sensitive nub, sending shock waves of pleasure through my entire body. He looked up at me from behind those long black lashes, and smiled, as he continued to suckle on my breast.
I bucked my hips in enjoyment that his ministration brought me. There was no describing how excellent our bodies reacted to each other. We were definitely made for each other. We fitted perfectly in the complicated puzzle of life. He truly was my soul mate and I was his better half.
"Do you like this, baby?" he asked me, as he trailed his hand lower down my waist. I nodded, baring my weight on the fingers that were inside me. "Do you Madison?" he asked in a sensual, raspy voice.
"I do!" I said, closing my eyes, as I held my breath, anticipating his next move. Yes! He left a trail of soft kisses down my growing abdomen and stopped, placing his ear next to my stomach.
"There's life inside you." he whispered, staring up at me. "Thank you for making me the happiest man in the world." he smiled, dipping his head in between my legs.
He ran his tongue down my slit, and fastened his hands on my hips, to prevent me from moving or squirming. I bucked, but he was stronger than me. There was no way out of this labyrinth of desire and pleasure! I tried to break free from his hold, when the pleasure that his tongue brought me was too intense. He flattened his tongue and continued to flicker it against my clit, sending powerful smoldering tidal waves of delight. I grabbed a handful of his hair and grinded my hips against his mouth until I felt an explosion of desire, love, mixed with pleasure and want, inside my womb.
He got up from the position he was in and crawled again in between my legs. He placed his cock at the entrance and gently drove inside me. I felt the sleek walls of my vagina clench, tightening as his penis drove deeper inside me. When he was completely inside me, he thrust his dick harder, until we found that inimitable pace that synchronized the movement of our hips, in one slow and sensual dance that only lovers know.
