Hey guys… sorry for the long wait… been busy with assignments but that's second year over! I'm gonna try and focus on doing more chapters for y'all soon. Hope you like it
"Sam broke the imprint" Billy told us. My jaw dropped to the floor and my eyes widened. I automatically looked at Leah but she masked her emotions. I wonder what is going through her head.
"What? H-how is that p-possible?" I stuttered looking at them for answers.
"It just broke Bella. I don't know how. I'm no longer bound to her, she pushed me to my limit and it felt like the thread between us just snapped. I…" Sam trailed off, looking down at his hands.
He looked so lost, like he didn't know what he was doing. I wouldn't be surprised, he imprinted for a few years and now he no longer has an imprint. He feels the earth again; the imprint is not the centre of the earth anymore. No longer the gravity anymore.
But if Sam can break the imprint, would that mean Paul could? I felt sick to the stomach and wriggled away from Paul before running towards the nearest bathroom.
I threw open the door, sinking to the floor and heaved. I leaned over the toilet seat and flushed the toilet. I felt the hot tears roll down my cheeks. I let out a heart-breaking sob. I felt a pair of hands rub soothingly against my arms. I looked up and it was Leah.
"What do we do Leah? If Sam can break it, can't the other wolves do that? What is Paul breaks the imprint? What if he leaves me? What if he doesn't want me anymore? He has a way out now" I sobbed.
She sunk to the ground and wrapped her arms around me. I buried my face into her shoulder and sobbed. She didn't speak; she just rocked me back and forth.
"It's going to be okay Swan. Don't stress too much, you know you can't" she whispered.
I just nodded and pulled back wiping the tears away with the back of my hand. I looked at Leah and she had tears in her eyes but she blinked them away. She rose from the floor and pulled me up slowly with her, she led me back to the living room with a comforting arm around me.
"I'm so sorry Sam" I whispered walking over to him and hugged him tightly. He slumped against me and wrapped his arms around me.
"It's not your fault. She's changed Bella" he sighed.
"What happened?" I asked him pulling away from him and sitting back on Paul's lap.
"She came back looking all upset about something. She told me that you guys were at the clinic because she knocked you out with a book. How the hell did that happen?" he looked at me confused.
"Well I was in my own little world when the three of us were talking about wedding ideas; you know that kind of stuff. I zoned out and snapped out of it when I heard them two arguing. I don't know what they were arguing about but I knew Emily was going to smack Leah. I got in between them, I didn't even think Emily was going to attempt to hit Leah with a book but she did. Well technically she hit me. I managed to say 'what the fuck Emily' before I passed out. I woke up and I was at the clinic" I missed out the most important part; I didn't want them to know yet.
"Shit, you okay babe?" Paul asked me softly while rubbing circles on my stomach with his hand.
"I'm fine. I had a headache but I'm fine now. Don't worry"
"Then what happened Bella?" Sam asked.
"Well I was angry with Emily for attempting to smack Leah. Leah and I just left her and I assumed she went back to your house Sam. I haven't really said anything to her. She said she was sorry but I'm not sure if she was or not. There's something wrong with her, mental I think"
"Really? You fucking think so?!" Leah snarled sarcastically. Paul growled at her angrily, I patted his hand and he calmed down slightly but still growled at Leah. She rolled her eyes and ignored him.
"What makes you say that Leah?" Sam spoke to her softly and lovingly, what the hell?
"She's jealous that's what. She stole you away from me a while ago because of the god damn imprint. She's jealous that I've imprinted Sam. She wants Jasper or any fucking wolf she can get! She fucking eye fucks Paul all the time when Swan isn't looking. I was arguing with her because she wouldn't be fucking happy that Swan has finally got the happiness she deserves. It's like she fucking wants to ruin everyone's fucking happiness. I'm not fucking having it Sam. You better do something, or I'll do something I'll fucking regret" she snapped at him.
"You won't do such a thing Leah" he barked an order at her. She glared at him and huffed crossing her arms angrily.
"Fuck you Sam" she growled at him.
"You already have. What? You want more now?" oh shit. All you could see was her storm up towards Sam and the next minute you know, his head was to the side. You heard the sickly crack when she slapped him.
"You bastard! How dare you?!" she screamed at him thumping her fists against his chest angrily. I noticed something sparkle and I realised that she was sobbing.
He just pulled her into his arms, she protested at first but she finally slumbered in defeat and sobbed against his chest. He wrapped his arms around her and hugged her tightly whispering sorry softly in her ear. I looked away to give them some privacy, they needed closure.
"Swan? You sure you're okay? You seem a bit shaky lately" Paul questioned me.
"I'm fine. I'm just recovering from the alcohol I had the other night" I whispered leaning into him and pressing a kiss to his neck.
"That's good. I can't wait for you to become my wife Swan. I can't see myself being with anyone else. I love you so much. I fell in love with you way before the imprint and I will love you for as long as I live" he whispered.
"I love you too Paul, more than you know. I don't want to lose you again; it nearly killed me the last time you left me. I can't wait to be your wife, I can keep you all to myself" I grinned at him with watery eyes. His little speech made my heart soar.
"Swan? He's ready to tell you what happened when she got home" Leah half smiled at me before settling back down on the couch and pulled her knees up hugging them to her chest.
"When she came home, it was like she was a different person but she was herself at the same time. She was pissed off and yelling at me like it was my fault for everything. She told me that she didn't love me anymore and that she was only with me because of the imprint. She felt like I had forced her into the relationship. I gave her the choice ages ago about what she wanted me to be, she made her choice and she blames me for it all" he sighed.
"But then she started crying and was the loving Emily again. I don't understand what happened or how it happened. She tried to attack me with a knife, again saying that it was all my fault and that I ruined her happiness. My heart broke and she ran outside. I ran after her and watched as she pulled a random guy. She started kissing him and took him somewhere to do Taha Aki knows what. It was then that I didn't feel the pain, I felt numb. I felt like the ribbon that tied me and Emily together just snapped"
We all sat there quietly absorbing the information, figuring out how it actually happened. How was it possible to fight the imprint? How could a wolf break it? I felt insecure; I don't want Paul to break the imprint. Sam is putting on a brave face, but he is hurting inside. He's just lost his other half, it's understandable. I dread to think what I would be like if Paul had broken the imprint. Would I survive it?
"I won't leave you Swan. Never again. You light up my life" he whispered in my ear and hugged me tightly as if he knew what I was thinking.
"Good, because you are stuck with me forever" I faked a smile, he frowned and planted a sweet kiss on my lips.
We heard a knock on the door and looked at each other confused. Who could it be? I got up off his lap and pulled him towards the door. I opened the door and instantly tensed as I watched her walk up towards Paul.
"Hello Paul" she purred running her hand down his chest. How dare she?!
"Wtf do you want Emily?" I growled at her.
"Why you know what I want don't you? So why ask? I want Paul and you are going to give me him" she grinned at me.
"Fuck off Emily. He's mine and you know you can't go for an imprinted wolf, not to mention a marked wolf" I snapped at her.
"Well if I can't have him, I can always go for another wolf in the pack since I'm not imprinted anymore. God he was such a bore" she yawned sarcastically. I narrowed my eyes at her and slapped her knocking her off her feet.
"You absolute heartless bitch! Don't you feel anything for Sam? You were the one that made the choice to be with you. You loved him, how could you just drop him like that? It's not fair. You just can't do that to somebody!"
"The hell I can! I can do whatever the fuck I want. I didn't want him anymore. He was boring me; I can't help it if he's boring"
"You crazy bitch! How can you do that to someone who gave you his whole heart? You don't just drop someone in the dirt like that" I snarled at her shaking slightly.
"He gave me his whole heart huh. How about the amount of times that he's moaned about the imprint and the amount of times he's moaned about how much he still loves Leah. How do you think I feel?!" she spat brushing herself off.
"Can you blame him? If it wasn't for the imprint you and Sam had, he would still be with Leah. She wouldn't have her heart ripped out and stomped on by YOU. You just ripped out Sam's heart and stomped on it too. How could you?! He's been there. He's supported you. You shouldn't even be on the rez, you aren't from here! You're from Makah. You need to leave before I do something I regret" I snarled turning my back on her.
I started walking towards Paul and didn't notice his terrified expression. The next thing I know, I feel a sharp stab and I gasped in shock. I looked down shakily and saw a stain soak through my top. It was blood. My blood. I looked up at Paul and my eyes rolled back as I sank to my knees.
"Paul" I whispered before I fell to the ground knocked out cold.
Paul's POV
I watched with pride as my girl fought back at Emily. Emily deserved anything bad; I mean how could she just move on to someone else just like that? Poor Sam.
I watched as my soon-to-be wife walked back towards me, I could feel her eyes on me but I looked behind her and Emily had a knife in her hand. How did I not notice that before? I went to tell her but nothing came out of my mouth.
She gasped and looked down. The knife went straight through to the other side. Oh shit. What do I do? She looked up at me before sinking to her knees.
"Paul" she whispered before she fainted to the ground.
I stood there shocked with what I had just seen. I was frozen. What do I do?
"LEAHHHHHHHH!" I screamed finally being able to move my legs towards Bella.
I ran towards her and pulled her towards me. I cradled her and tried to get her to wake up. I looked down at the wound and felt sick to the stomach. I winced as I leaned over and pulled the knife out. I sobbed, brushing her hair out of her face.
"LEAHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHHH! GET OUT HERE NOW! PLEASEEEE!" I sobbed.
"What Paul?! What do you…. Oh shit! SAMMMMMMMM!" she screeched as she ran from the house towards us. "What happened?" she whispered softly.
"Emily happened. She started shouting at Emily because she was flirting with me. She pushed Emily and started yelling at her more. She turned her back on that bitch and she stabbed my girl. WHAT DO WE DO LEAH?!" I cried rocking Bella back and forth.
"What's going on?" Sam ordered.
"Your ex-imprint of yours happened. I swear I'm gonna kill her Sam" Leah snarled angrily.
I ignored them. I sobbed, rocking Bella back and forth. I heard shouting and Sam trying to sort something out, but he was yelling. I shakily looked up and saw Leah straddling Emily. She was punching Emily with anger. I was surprised she hadn't phased.
"Leah that's enough" he growled. But he didn't Alpha order her. Not yet. "Damn it Leah. Cool it!" he snapped grabbing her off Emily. Leah was kicking and screaming, trying to throw a punch at Emily. Emily was curled up in a ball in agony.
"Paul, we gotta get her to the hospital. NOW!" Jared growled shoving me.
I looked up at him and saw the pack was standing outside. I looked down at my girl and back at Jared. I nodded. I shifted my position and shakily got up with my girl cradled to my body. I ran to the hospital, it was the fastest I had ran in my life. It took what seemed like forever to get to the hospital. Please be okay. Please be okay, I kept whispering in my head.
"HELP! SOMEBODY HELP ME! PLEASE!" I yelled as I kicked open the door of the hospital.
"Sir, please calm down" a nurse said trying to calm me down.
"You're telling me to calm down?! She needs to see a doctor! NOW!" I bared my teeth at her. She squeaked in fright and ran off down the corridor. She came back with a doctor running behind her.
"Please come through to this room right here. Hurry" he snapped before running into one of the closest rooms. I jogged after him and placed her on the hospital bed.
"You have to step outside" the nurse scolded, trying to push me outside the room. I didn't budge.
"Sir, please outside so we can help her" the doctor glared at me.
I nodded looking at the doctor before looking back at Bella. I slowly took a step back, one at a time. The nurse closed the door and I looked through the window. The nurse closed the blinds and I pressed my hand against the window. Please be okay I prayed.
I sat down on the bench outside the room and hung my head in my hands. I sobbed. What if she doesn't make it? What will I do? How will I survive?
"Paul!" I heard Leah yell for me. I felt her sit next to me and she placed her hand on my shoulder offering me comfort. I looked up at her and she pulled me towards her in a hug. I gripped her and sobbed in her neck. She slowly rocked us back and forth, stroking my hair comfortingly.
"What do we do Leah? What will I do if something bad happens to her? I don't think I can survive Leah" I whispered.
"She'll be okay Paul. She has to be" she spoke. She wasn't just reassuring me, she was reassuring herself too.
We stayed like that for a while until I heard the door open. My head snapped up and the nurse stepped out. I leaped up from the seat.
"Nurse! Is she going to be okay?" I grabbed her shoulders and shook her gently.
"I don't know. Just wait for the doctor to come out. He will know more details than me. I need to get something to help the lady in there" she gasped, wriggling out of my grasp and scurried down the corridor. She came back soon enough and slipped back into the room.
"Paul, come sit down. We just have to wait for the doctor to come out and tell us. We have to be patient" she sighed, pulling me down to sit down.
"I'd never expected this to happen. Not from Emily. She was a sweet girl, always loving. What do you think happened between her and Sam? What broke the imprint?" I sighed lacing my hand with Leah.
"I don't know Paul. She's got split personalities. Bipolar or Schizophrenia maybe. I'm glad I landed a few punches on her. I didn't punch her just for Swan. But for you and Sam" she squeezed my hand.
"Thanks Leah" I sighed. Our heads snapped up when the door opened again. This time it was the doctor.
"Doctor, how is she?" I panicked.
"Are you family?" he questioned.
"I'm her fiancée"
"Right. Well she's got a stab wound to the pancreas and we've managed to clean the wound. We've stitched it back up. She needs to stay in overnight. You're lucky the stab wound was in her pancreas"
"Why? What do you mean?" I questioned him confused.
"What? You don't know?" he looked at me with a weird expression.
"Know what?"
"She's with child. She's four weeks along. So you don't have to worry. The babies are fine" he answered.
"Thank you doc. Can I go and see her?"
"Sure, but she's sleeping at the moment. Don't stress her out too much. It's not good for her, especially with the wound and being pregnant" he said before walking away. I nodded and looked at Leah.
"Go ahead. I'll stay out here until the pack gets here. I'll fill them in" she smiled. I gave her half a smile before I walked into the room closing the door gently behind me.
I slowly walked towards the bed. She lay there with her arms by her sides. I pulled up a chair and sat beside the bed. I leaned over the side of the bed and lifted up her hand, wrapped my hands around hers. I planted a kiss on her hand and nuzzled my cheek against her hand. I watched and waited. She started to stir a little. She shifted and winced in pain.
"Baby? Are you okay? Try not to move"
"Paul?" She whispered.
"Yeah I'm right here Swan. I'm right here" I soothed her. "Hey" I stood up and brushed her hair out of her eyes.
"Hi" she smiled weakly.
"Do you remember what happened?"
"I remember shouting at Emily and turning my back of her. I was walking back to the house. Oh my god! She stabbed me" she looked at me alarmed.
"Calm down Swan. You can't stress. Don't panic. You're going to be okay" I soothed, rubbing soothing circles on her cheek.
"But…"
"I know Swan. The doctor told me. Why didn't you tell me?" I could feel the tears in my eyes.
"I… I was scared to tell you. I wanted to tell you. I… I just didn't know how to tell you" she whimpered.
"Baby, you're pregnant. You are having my babies. I couldn't be happier. It's good news. You shouldn't be afraid of telling me anything" I leaned over planting a kiss on her forehead.
"I know it's great news. But I didn't know how to put it into words to tell you that I was pregnant. Wait did you just say babies? As in more than one baby?" She looked at me with widened eyes.
"Yeah, that's what the doctor said. Now you need to rest. You need loads of rest. You can't phase while you're pregnant. I don't want anything to happen to you and the babies" I frowned.
"Oh my god. I'm having your babies. Not one, but more than one" she looked shocked. Damn I love this girl.
"Paul what's going to happen? I mean with Emily and everything…" she looked up at me with tears in her eyes.
"She isn't going to hurt you again. I won't let that happen" I growled.
She opened her mouth to say something but the door burst open. The pack rushed into the room with Leah lingering behind them. They started fussing about Bella and I could tell that Bella was getting frustrated.
"GUYS! Chill out!" I roared at them. They immediately stopped and looked at me with widened eyes as I glared at them.
"Paul, it's okay" she whispered to me.
"But it's not good for you… you know that" I pressed. She smiled softly at me.
"What's not good for her? What the hell is going on?!" Jacob roared.
"Well we have something to tell you guys. Just promise me you guys won't freak out" she calmed looked at the pack. They looked at her puzzled but nodded their heads anyways.
"Well… here goes. I'm pregnant…" she trailed off.
"YOU'RE WHAT?!" I heard Charlie's booming voice as the door swung open. Oh shit.
Oopsies!
