Dear Viewers,
And here's the next chapter! It's not a very big chapter and not much is important, I just had to keep it short because it helps lead to the next chapter which is way more important and a way more interesting read.
So, just get on with this one and next week you'll get the better one!
Michelle
We're not the fortunate ones,
And girls, they wanna have fun
Oh girls just wanna have fun
That's all they really want, some fun!
Girls Just Wanna Have Fun—Cyndi Lauper
Chapter 36
Sophie's POV
"So when are we meeting the Cullen's at that clearing Sam?" Paul asked. I laid my head back on his chest and rolled my eyes, Paul could be so impatient sometimes.
"At 6, meaning about five more hours, so quit your whining." Sam said kissing Emily's neck and wrapping his arms around her waist.
I saw her eyes widen slightly but relaxed when Sam said nothing. I've been rethinking about when we should tell everybody, but Emily said she wanted to wait until everything was blown over with the Newborns and after Leah's birthday. Emily told me she thought it was a good idea to wait until after that so that everybody could focus on Leah instead of thinking about Emily.
Emily is so selfless sometimes it scares me at times.
I looked back at Emily and thought that she looked a little too skinny to be almost two months pregnant, but then again, she has been wearing Sam's baggy sweatshirts for a while now, even before she told me that she was pregnant...
Paul kissed my neck. "Have you figured out who those kids in your dream were yet?" He asked me.
"Not yet, but I think I have an idea on one of the little ring-bearer boys, the older one." Now that I thought about my dream again, and finding out that Emily was pregnant, I guess the little boy that kind of looked like Sam, was their son.
I wonder if I could make a bet with Emily? Since lately my dreams have been prophetic ones (but hopefully the one that I had had of Jonas wasn't...) and I could get a little bit of proof from this.
"Oh? And who do you think he is?" I looked at him and saw that he had an eye brow raised.
"I'll you in exactly a week." I said smirking.
"You're no fair sometimes." Paul pouted. I kissed him lips and turned back to face everyone else that was in the kitchen.
It was only me, Paul, Sam, Emily, Embry, Jared and Kim.
"Hey Em, Kim, why don't we have ourselves a girl's night out? Call up Leah and go out while these guys go do some training with the Cullen's?" I asked them.
"I think that sounds like a great idea, but where to?" Kim asked.
"Um, well Seattle's definitely out of the picture."
I heard Paul growl and pull me tighter into his arms. "There is no way in hell that I'm allowing you to go to Seattle without any of us with Jonas creating an army there."
"Calm down, I wasn't planning on going there. Why don't we just go to Port Angeles? There's plenty of things there that we can do." I said.
"Okay, it sounds like a great idea Soph; I'll get Sue to take care of Claire for me and then we can head on to Port Angeles." Emily said.
"Yeah, it'll be nice to have a night out with just us girls." I said smiling.
*_*_*5 Hours Later*_*_*
"I'll see you in a few hours Sophie." Paul kissed my lips and pulled me tightly to him.
I laughed. "Paul, in order for us to go do what we need to do, you're going to have to let me go."
"I know Soph, but I'm not gonna be with you and you're an hour away from me if anything happens...if anything were to happen to you, I would never forgive myself. If anything were to happen to any three of you, I wouldn't be able to live with myself."
"Paul, nothing is going to happen to me, or Kim, or Emily, okay? And if anything happens, I have you on speed dial. Just make sure you have your phone with you okay?"
"Okay, and Soph, you remember all the moves I showed you, right? Just in case?" Paul asked pleadingly.
I chuckled at his protectiveness. "Yes Paul, I remember all of them, but I really doubt that anything will happen." I put my hands on either side of his face and pulled him in for a short kiss.
"Okay, and remember, if it's a guy that comes after you—"
"Knee them in the groin first, I know Paul, I know." I smiled up at him. "When I get back, I have a something to tell everyone."
"Can you tell me now?" Paul asked pouting.
I chuckled. "No, I want everyone to know at the same time, I found out last night. It's not something bad so don't worry about it."
Then I thought about it, Sam being my older brother gives him more reason to be more protective of me against mine and Paul's relationship. Maybe it was bad for Paul that we found this out?
"Sophie?" Paul suddenly asked alarmed. "Are you—?"
"Paul, if you ask me if I'm pregnant I will slap you."
What do I just have the look like it's looks like I'm pregnant? Everyone asks me when I don't look like it and nobody asks Em when she does look like it.
"Okay then." Paul let out a breath of relief. "If you were, Sam and Embry would literally pound me to near death then proceed to cut off my manhood."
"And what a shame that would be." I said giving him a sympathetic smile. I kissed him one last time and said, "I've gotta get out to the car Paul, but I'll see you in a little while."
He gave one last hug before letting me go. I walked out the door and into the driver's side of the car Emily, Kim, Leah and I were taking. Emily was in the passenger's side and Kim and Leah were in the back.
"You may want to buckle your seatbelts." I said, buckling mine up.
"Why?" Leah asked.
"This is only her third time ever driving." Emily said through gritted teeth and clutching either side of her seat.
"Oh lighten up; I am getting better at this." I said starting the car. I heard the two seatbelts click quickly and looked back to see that Kim and Leah were in the same position as Emily. I rolled my eyes at them.
I wasn't that bad of a driver. I took basic Driver's Ed. in school and as Emily said this was my third time actually driving. I say I did pretty well for only having that much experience.
I backed out of the driveway and onto the road. I sped onto the highway and made my way to Port Angeles.
*_*_*40 Minutes Later*_*_*
"I am never, ever, ever, letting you drive my car, or letting you drive me anywhere, ever again Sophia Strawberry Fields Uley!" Emily exclaimed getting out of the car as quick as possible as soon as I parked it in the parking garage.
"Hey, I say that was the best driving I've ever done if I do say so myself!" I said cheerfully.
"If that's good for you, I don't want to know what bad driving i for you." Leah said getting out kind of dizzily.
"Oh whatever, let's get to the restaurant so we can eat, I'm starving!" I said.
We headed off to the first decent restaurant that we could find, meaning no fast food restaurants, and went inside.
"Hello ladies, a table for four?" A man around Emily and Leah's age said as soon as we walked in.
"Yes." I answered him.
"Right this way." We followed him to a table in the back that was by one of the large windows. He placed our menus in front of us. "What you like to drink?"
"I'll have water with ice in it please." I said.
"I'll have that as well." Emily said.
"Me too." Leah answered.
"Same." Kim said.
"Okay then, I'll be right back." He left without another word.
"Looks like we beat the rain girls." I said as I looked out the window. It was just pouring out, everything was blurred picture.
"Wow, that's a lot of rain, even for here." Kim said looking out.
I remembered what I was going to say to Emily, so when Kim and Leah started talking, I leaned over and quietly said, "Hey Em, do you think you'll have a boy or a girl?"
She looked over at Kim and Leah talking before answering with, "I know Sam will love whichever's in here, but I think it'll be a girl."
"How much are you willing to wager if I said I'm almost 100% sure it's going to be a boy?" I said back with a smirk.
"Well, I'd say I'm willing to wager 50 dollars on that and that it's on." Emily smirked back at me. We shook hands.
"I'm sorry to say that you're about to lose 50 bucks in seven months Emily." I said smugly.
"Oh? And what makes you so confident?" She asked raising an eyebrow.
"I'll tell you in seven months Em, when you'll actually believe me." I winked at her. "By the way girls, did you remember to bring your nice clothes?"
"Yes, but why did we have to bring them?" Leah asked.
"Well, because we're going dancing after this." I said with a smile.
Their faces blanked out and I stopped them before they all started shouting at me at once.
And there you have it, a cliff-hanger.
Sorry for that but that was necessary; it keeps you wondering about what Sophie's about to say. (And when I say they're going out dancing, it's probably nothing like you think you silly readers (;...)
Until the afternoon of Thursday August the 11th in the year 2011, I must say farewell in a stranger way than I have before. So for my strange goodbye, I'll try to make it rhyme. (Just to let everyone know, I just barely passed poetry in English.)
For now our paths of reading and writing part,
After reviewing my chapter work of art,
Saying to everyone goodbye and goodnight,
While for the next week I write, write and write.
This chapter surely was poorly stocked,
But the next one will give you a slight shock,
And to say goodbye so no more do I stall,
I say like in Alice in Wonderland, fairfarren all.
(Like I said, I'm not that good a poetry, and if you laughed, well that's what I was aiming for.)
