I know I said I'd update this once a week, and I'm sorry I haven't ... but I've had loads of schoolwork to do over the past couple of weeks and I'm gonna post up another chapter right now it make up for it! :D
I spent most of the week at Sam and Emily's. I was trying to spend as much time with Emby before he went to help fight the newborn army. I gave information if and when it was needed; I'd had a few visions. One of them was of Seth and Edward fighting off Victoria and Riley, but I didn't tell people about that one. Seth seemed to be pleased about it in the visions, so I kept that a secret so he could still have that pride.
Mom and Dad had promised me that they wouldn't go out of La Push this weekend, and Nate was staying out at our friend's house so the guys of our friendship group were okay. The girls were going to be fine too as they were all staying over at Emily's, I was invited, but I wanted to stay at the Uley's till my Emby came home.
"What are you thinking about?" Emby asked me, we were sat in the living room of Sam and Emily's. The pack and the imprints were all under one roof, waiting for the word until they left for the fight.
"You" I told him, he grinned, "You will be careful wont you?"
"I always am" He told me
"Well be extra careful then" I told him, grabbing his shirt to pull his face down to my level
"I promise" He murmured before kissing me deeply. Jacob's howl was heard in the distance and I felt myself gripping onto Emby tighter, "Lexii, come on. I have to go" He chuckled, releasing my grip
"I love you" I told him
"I love you too" He grinned at me and kissed my lips chastely, Collin and Brady and the four imprints; me, Kim, Emily and Claire all followed the guys out to the back porch. Claire was in Emily's arms and Collin and Brady weren't allowed to fight. They were only letting Seth go as a precaution, but he was gonna have the best fight
"Seth?" I called his name
"Yea?" Everyone turned to face me and I beckoned him over, "What?" He asked
"Be careful and don't have too much fun, okay?" I told him
"What?" He asked, awww he looked funny confused
"You'll understand later" He nodded at me as an okay, "Good luck" I smiled
"Uhh thanks?" It came out as a question; I hugged him quickly, ruffled his hair and kissed his cheek
"Seth? Come on dude!" Paul called him back; they all threw confused glances at me before running off into the woods
"What was that about?" Brady asked me
"You'll find out soon enough" I smiled at the two confused werewolves and three imprints. Claire didn't really know what was going on with any of it, but she was still a confused child.
We went back into the house shortly after that and all piled into the kitchen. Emily began cooking for Collin and Brady to keep herself busy, Collin and Brady were talking about a new video game that they wanted, Claire was colouring in a new book and Kim sat staring intently out the window. I was trying to see if I could force a vision out of my head. I'd never done it before, so it made my head hurt like hell. After a stupidly long time of trying and failing to see the future of the pack I stopped. If they were in trouble, it would come to me.
"Girls do you want any of this?" Emily asked me and Kim, she'd already put a plate down in front of Claire and she was sat happily eating it. Collin and Brady were shoving food down their mouths as quickly as possible which kinda put me off eating any of it
"No, I'm alright thanks" I shook my head, throwing a small thankful smile her way
"Yea I don't want anything either" Kim shook her head
"Are you sure?" Emily asked us again, the two of us nodded our heads
I felt a little sleepy if I'm honest, but I didn't want to go into the living room on my own. So instead, I leant my feet on the edge of the chair next to me and rested my head on my knees
"Why don't you go sit on the couch for a bit? You might be a bit more comfortable there" Emily told me
"No, I'm alright" I smiled up at her, she came over to me and patted my bare knee. I had thigh length shorts on
"Your legs are really smooth." She stated, stroking my lower leg quickly "Sorry that's really weird" She chuckled
"Na, Emily does that all the time" I chuckled
"How do you get them so smooth?" She asked
"Wax, shave then moisturise" I told her, she nodded along
"Do you do that to your armpits too? Surely that would hurt" She scrunched her face up
"No I don't grow armpit hair" I told her
"Of course you do. Everyone does" Kim laughed a little nervously
"I used to, but my best friend decided to wake me up one morning by waxing my armpits. The hair is now too scared to grow back." I told them and they both laughed, as did Collin and Brady
"That sounds like a good prank" I saw a glint in Brady's eye as he spoke
"It hurts. Believe me. I bled for about a freaking hour." I grumbled "It's okay though, Emily now knows not to mess with me in my sleep." I grinned
"I bet she got some serious beatings" Collin sucked in a breath
"Yep. She did." I grinned
"I would have hated to be her." Kim scrunched her face up
"We also woke Nate up that morning." I grinned mischievously
"How?" Emily asked with an amused smile on her face
"All I'm saying is; next time you see him, tell him to pull his trouser legs up to his knees. His legs are like ridiculously hairy for a 17 year old boy, but he now has two rectangular shaped bald patches on the back of his legs" I chuckled
"Ooo that's mean." Brady and Collin said in unison
"When did this happen?" Emily chuckled
"About 3 weeks ago. The best part is, it's taking forever for the leg hair to grow back and he has to wear shorts for soccer practice. The guys take the piss out of him for it all the time" I grinned
"You are one mean sister. I'm just glad Leanne isn't like that." Brady shook his head
"Naa, Leanne isn't that mean" I shook my head
"Thank god." He muttered
We kinda came to an awkward end in the conversation then and Emily collected up the dirty plates. I took her up on her offer and went to sit on the sofa; I must have fallen asleep at some point because Brady shook my shoulder lightly to wake me up. I spat hair out from my mouth and realised Claire had cuddled up to me and fallen asleep too. The poor little might, had no idea what was going on.
"We've gotta get up to Billy's. It's Jacob." Brady whispered, trying not to wake Claire up
"Okay, should I just carry her do you think?" I asked, nodding down to Claire
"Probably best" Brady agreed
"Alright then" I smiled at him and sat up slowly, keeping hold of the five year old that had her limbs wrapped around me. I quickly got over my tiredness and got up, following Brady outside. Apparently we were all going in Sam's pick up. Emily and Kim were already in the front, Collin in the back. I climbed into the middle seat as best I could with a child attached to me and Brady climbed in after me. Emily drove quite fast, but slow enough not to wake Claire; we got to Billy's in no time at all. Once we arrived, we all piled out of the truck. Kim ran straight to Jared, I went over to Emby and Emily went to see Billy. I think Sam and Quil were inside
"Thank god your okay" I gasped to Emby, hugging him as tightly as I could with one arm. I'd shifted Claire to one of my hips but she was still fast asleep
"I promised didn't I?" He chuckled, kissing me deeply. It was a little awkward though because Claire was still asleep on my arm
"I love you" I told him
"I love you too" He grinned, he then guided me over to everyone else and I went to give Billy a hug
"He is gonna be alright Billy, I promise you" I told the old man. He was still tearful from when they brought Jake home. I'd seen it when I was asleep; he just smiled up at me. I took the same stance as Emily, on the other side. She was holding herself together for Billy, her hand was in his tight grasp and now mine was the other side. Emby had his arm around my waist and kissed my head every now and again
"You two look good with a kid" Leah smirked at us
"Piss off Leah." I smirked back
"She's right you do" Seth grinned at us
"Yea and my Dad would kill him before he ever met the child." Emby chuckled beside me and kissed my head again. Carlisle stepped out of the house then and all of the guys and Leah tensed, scrunching up their noses, Sam and Quil followed him out. Sam went straight to Emily and Quil came to take Claire from me
"Destroy their family why don't you" Paul chuckled
"What?" Quil asked confused as Claire settled herself into Quil's arms
"Ignore him" I told Quil, he nodded
"So Doc is he alright?" Billy asked Carlisle
"I had to re set his bones before they healed in the wrong places. I've given him some morphine, well a lot of morphine for the pain. And if he stays in bed and doesn't keep trying to phase, he should be good in a few weeks time. But I'm sure Lexii has already told you that" He smiled genuinely at Billy
"Thank you Doc" Billy gave him a watery smile
"You're welcome Billy" Carlisle nodded at him, he was about to leave, but turned back "Lexii, I haven't seen you in a while, hows the foot?" He asked me
"It's fine, I can jump on it now" I grinned at him; he chuckled as he turned away and got into his car. A few of the guys glared at me "What? I can." I shrugged; they shook their heads at me as another scream of pain came from the house. He didn't really sound like he was getting any better
"If he just left it, I could've sorted that leech out myself" Leah started getting antsy
"Shut the fuck up Leah. It's done now." Paul glared at her
"You shut the fuck up. Leave her alone." I snapped at him, a few of the guys along with Paul were surprised at me. Apparently not a lot of people defend Leah nowadays.
"Make me." He turned his glare on me, Emby growled lowly at him. The two of them growled at each other and started to shake
"Stop." Sam commanded them and they instantly stopped, Leah was smiling gratefully at me, I returned the smile. People began to filter off then, first it was Kim and Jared, then Collin and Brady left with Paul for patrol, and then Seth and Leah left.
"It's getting late, I better get Claire home" Quil stated after a Sam helped Billy back into the house
"Were gonna stay with Billy for a while, here, take my keys" Emily told him and pulled out a set of keys from her pocket
"If you don't know when your gonna get home, he can take her to mine if you want" I told her
"Are you sure?" She asked, looking into the house quickly and back to us
"Yea of course, Mom's used to having her in the house anyway" I nodded
"Only if you're sure" She checked
"Course it is silly, she's my god daughter" I chuckled
She smiled back at me "Thank you"
"Don't worry about it" I shook my head
"Goodnight sweetie" She kissed Claire's head quickly before going back inside. The three of us then started down the street on the 15 minute walk to my house
"Emby can I have a piggy back?" I asked him sweetly
"Sure" He kissed me sweetly and he and Quil stopped so I could jump onto Emby's back. He caught my legs, gripping my thighs so I wouldn't fall and I rested my chin on his shoulder, loosely wrapping my arms around his neck so I wouldn't fall. Not that he'd let that happen anyways. Because I was now on Emby's back he and Quil could pick up the pace a little … we were outside my house in less than 10 minutes
"Hello?" I called out quietly; I didn't want to wake them if they were asleep
"Hello princess" Daddy whispered back tiredly
"It's alright if Claire stays over tonight isn't it? Jake smashed his bones and Sam and Emily are gonna stay with Billy. And she could hardly stay there" I explained and Emby put me back on my feet
"Yea that's fine. That kid never listens, does he?" He shook his head, yawning
"Go to bed Dad. We're alright" I told him, giving him a kiss and sending him upstairs "Love you Dad" I whispered
"Love you too" He yawned, climbing slowly up the stairs
"Uhh, I think there's a pair of Evie's PJ's here somewhere. I'll have a look" I told Quil, going off into the laundry room. I routed around for a bit and found a purple pair. Your probably wondering why I have Emily's little sisters PJ's in my house. It was because Emily stayed over last week and for some reason decided to put her little sisters PJ's in her bag and leave them here.
"Evie's only four, but Claire a small child. They should fit her." I told him
"Okay, do you uhh . . . mind changing her?" He asked awkwardly
"Oh yea, of course yea" I nodded, taking the little girl back and going up the stairs, "Emby, do you mind making me some hot cocoa?" I asked him as I was halfway up the stairs
"I'm on it" He nodded and went into the kitchen with Quil. I took Claire into the spare room and changed her out of her daytime clothes and into Evie's PJ's. She was an easy child to change when asleep. I always remember that. I tucked her in under the covers and kissed her forehead before shutting the door behind me and joining Quil and Emby in the kitchen
"She's alright, she's in the spare room. You can either sleep on the sofa bed in there or you can sleep in Nate's bed. He's at Jay's tonight" I explained
"Thanks Cand" He smiled sleepily at me
"Here you go Gorgeous. One steaming hot cup of Cocoa" Emby grinned at me
"Thank you" I smiled at him and kissed his cheek lightly, taking the cup out of his hands. We all walked out of the kitchen and into the hallway, up the stairs
"I'm guessing your gonna sleep on the sofa bed?" I asked Quil and chuckled at him as he nodded, I gave Emby my cup back and he took it into my room for me. "There's some quilts in here, go pull the bed out" I told him as I took a duvet out of the airing cupboard and a pillow. I took them into the spare room with me and dumped them on the bed Quil had just pulled out
"Thanks Cand, you're a star" He told me, kissing my cheek
"Don't worry about it" I smiled at him as I hugged him tightly, "I'm glad you're okay Quil" I whispered
"I am too Cand, I am too" He told me and kissed my forehead, I then made my way across the hall into my own bedroom
"Finally!" Emby exclaimed jokingly
"Quit your moaning. I'm here now" I chuckled at him, shutting my bedroom door and stripping my clothes of at I neared the bed
"Lexii! There's a child across the hall!" He scolded me with a grin on his face
"We're not doing anything tonight and you know it." I told him grabbing my PJ's out from behind my pillow. I shimmied into my shorts and watched Emby's eyes light up as I took my bra off and put my PJ top on. "Up here big boy" I clicked my fingers at him and pointed upwards
"I know I know" He muttered as I climbed into bed and sat up with my Cocoa
"Dis is yummy" I told him, kissing his nose lightly which was rested coincidently on my breast
"Dis is yummy" He grinned, biting my boob
"Embry!" I scolded him, pushing his face away; he whined as I did so but stopped when I glared at him. I finished up my drink quickly and scooted so I was led down on my side
"I love you" Emby told me, spooning me
"I love you too" I snuggled into him as he creeped his hands up my top. A normal occurrence when he'd watched me change
"If that hand touches my boob Embry, I'll cut it off." I warned him, letting my lids slide closed
"I sowwie" He told me, kissing my neck
"It's okay I guess" I smiled, shuffling myself further into his chest and quickly falling asleep
How did I do? Comments'd be great :)
