Recap: "A seven!" Dekan said, smiling.

Embry and Dekan spent the rest of the weekend in bed at the hotel, doing some much needed (in both of their opinions) time together. Dekan showered with Embry before calling Jasper and asking if he could drive here and pick them up since Dekan wasn't in any shape to run with Embry. Jasper arrived two hours later, parking in front of the hotel.
"I'm so glad we're graduating this year." Dekan said, sliding into the back seat with Embry.
"It's the last time for you all. We do it every few years." Alice said, giggling.
"You have a surprise at your house." Jasper said.
"Alice bought me the shower head after all?" Dekan said, her eyes lighting up. Alice laughed.
"Well that's one, but that's not the surprise Jasper was talking about. Your mom is there! She's coming in for your graduation and for the babies due date." Alice said.
"Shower head?" Embry asked, confused.
"You don't want to know." Jasper said, shaking his head and smiling.
……
..
Jasper pulled up to Embry and Dekan's little cottage, putting it into park. Lola met Dekan at the door, throwing her arms around her and hugging her close.
"Twins! I still can't believe it! Oh gosh I'm going to be a grandma!" Lola said, fussing over Dekan. "You look so beautiful!"
"Yes she does." Embry said, kissing the top of Dekan's head.
"That reminds me. Dekan, your principal is coming over in half an hour. She said she needs to talk to you about something important. I told her it was okay." Lola said.
"Oh, okay. I wonder what Principal Patton wants." Dekan said, walking in with Jasper, Alice, Embry, and her mom.
Sasha went to go change into clean clothes while Embry and Alice straightened up the house. Lola went into the kitchen, making some appetizers while Jasper did his best to help Alice. Exactly half an hour later, the doorbell rang.
"I'll get it babe." Embry said, going to the door and opening it up. 'Good grief, she's tiny.' Embry thought, seeing Dekan's principal.
"May I speak to Dekan?" Principal Patton asked.
"Of course, come in. She'll be down in a moment." Embry said, showing her into the living room.
"Hello, you must be Dekan's principal. I'm her mother, Lola. And that is her husband, Embry." Lola said, introducing them. Jasper and Alice stayed upstairs, still listening.
"A pleasure to meet you both." Principal Patton said, sitting on the couch. A moment later, Dekan walked (more like waddled in her opinion) downstairs.
"Good afternoon, Principal Patton." Dekan said, going to sit beside Embry who put his arm around her.
"Dekan, so nice to see you. I have something I wish to speak with you about; it's quite important." Principal Patton said.
"Of course." Dekan said, smiling.
"The Forks High School is quite a…special school. Despite being small and located in a small part of Washington, we are still held high in the minds of the community. You understand that, right?" Principal Patton said, looking at Dekan.
"Yes…" Dekan said.
"And being held in such high sights is a big responsibility. Making sure it stays that way is important." Principal Patton said.
"May I ask your point?" Lola asked politely.
" I understand you must be exhausted so I've taken the liberty of having your diploma printed up and I have it right here for you." Principal Patton said, handing a folder to Dekan.
"So wait, my daughter isn't walking across the stage at her own graduation?" Lola said, standing up.
"It wouldn't look good for the community, you understand." Principal Patton said. Dekan simply stared at her principal.
"Just because she's pregnant? She's married, for crying out loud! I don't see what the problem is." Lola said, glaring.
"We've never had a pregnant teenager attend the school. Especially not one to walk across the stage at graduation. It wouldn't look good." Principal Patton said.
"Well you can take this diploma back because I've earned the right to see my baby walk across that stage, big belly and all!" Lola said.
"My wife has worked very hard to get where she is, Ms. Patton. You have no right whatsoever to prohibit her from walking across the stage with her classmates just because she is carrying my children. You try it and we will sue." Embry said, standing up and towering over the tiny principal.
"If you insist…" Principal Patton said, standing up and holding out her hand.
It took Dekan three attempts to stand up from the couch to give the folder back to Principal Patton. When she did, she too topped Principal Patton by at least 4 inches in height and quite a few more width wise. Principal Patton took the envelope.
"I see that my time here was wasted. Good day." Principal Patton said, showing herself out.
Alice and Jasper came downstairs, laughing and clapping.
"You showed her!" Alice said, smiling.
"I've earned the right to see her walk across that stage as much as anyone." Jasper said, his arm around Dekan.
"What?" Lola asked.
"He's…Jasper's my relative. An actual blood relative." Dekan said, smiling.
"You better bet everyone from the pack is going to be there cheering for you, Dekan." Embry said.
"I bet that'll tickle her tushie." Dekan said, laughing.
……
..
Later that month was Dekan's graduation. True to Embry's word, the whole Quileute wolf pack was there, taking up a whole section of the gymnasium. They whooped and hollered when Dekan Call was called on stage to receive her diploma, her pregnant belly leading the way. A few weeks later, Dekan awoke in the middle of the night in pain.
"E-E-Embry! Hos-hospital!" Dekan said, grabbing his hand and squeezing hard as a contraction came down hard on her.
Embry was freaking out, trying to get dressed and get Dekan's overnight bag and calling Jasper and Alice and Carlisle and Sam and everyone else.
"EMBRY!!!" Dekan shouted, the contractions coming faster and harder. He picked her up and ran to their car, placing Dekan in it and driving off like a madman to the hospital.
Carlisle, Jasper, Alice, Rosalie, Emmett, Edward, Esme, and Bella met them at the hospital. Bella went to call Sam and Jake, telling them that Dekan was in labor. They arrived ten minutes later. The group filled up a waiting room just by themselves. Lola and Embry joined Dekan in her hospital room, as did Carlisle and a few nurses.
After a few hours of pushing, Dekan gave birth to a baby girl, then after a few more minutes of pushing, she gave birth to a baby boy.
"Congratulations." Carlisle said, handing the boy to Dekan and the girl to Embry.
"What names do you like?" Embry asked, gently stroking his daughter's cheek.
"For our son, I like the name Jasper Samuel Whitlock Call. For our daughter, I like Lola Alice Whitlock Call. What do you think?" Dekan asked, looking over at Embry. He smiled.
"Perfect." Embry said.
"There's one more thing. Their godparents. Who do you want?" Dekan asked.
"Well, Sam and Emily of course." Embry said.
"Yeah, and Alice and Jasper. But I also want Jake to be their godfather as well." Dekan said.
"I like it." Embry said.
Just then, Alice, Jasper, Emmett, Rosalie, Esme, Edward, Bella, Sam, Emily, Jake, Paul, Kim, Jared, Seth, and Quil piled into Dekan's hospital bedroom.
"We'd like to introduce you all to Jasper Samuel Whitlock Call and Lola Alice Whitlock Call." Embry said, smiling proudly.
"Aww, can I hold one of them?" Alice said, getting all excited.
"Of course, godmother." Dekan said, hanging Jasper to her.
"I figure you might want to hold Lola, godfather." Embry said, placing Lola gently into Jasper's arms.
"Godparents? Really?" Jasper said, looking at the baby in awe.
"Well, you two. And Sam and Emily." Embry said.
"And of course, one more special godfather. If you want the honor that is, Jake." Dekan said, smiling at Jake.
"Are you kidding? Of course!" Jake said, smiling happily.
"We'd love to as well." Sam said, holding Emily's hand.
And so their happy family was complete.
