Jared POV

I expected many different reactions when Kim and I went to tell Louise and Elan we were having a baby. Louise's reaction I got right. She immediately started screaming, and so did Kim and they ended up hugging while bouncing. It was Elan's that surprised me. He looked more than mad, he was enraged, and walked right over to where a baseball bat was leaning against the wall and nailed me over the head with it.

All in all, I think that was a bit much.

Kim POV

Well that's something you don't see every day. I would have been more worried if I hadn't known it would take a much more powerful hit to do any damage to Jared. After all Elan was only human. The hit left him dazed for only moment enough time for Louise to yell "What the hell?!" at my brother.

He shrugged. "I tried. I knew hitting him normally would just hurt me not him, so I figured the bat would help. Guess not."

I walked over and smacked him. "Is there a reason you wacked the father of my kid in the head brother?" Ha father of my kid. That was a kick to say.

"You're too young to have a kid that's why, and it's mostly his fault so I hit him."

"Two people make a baby dipshit, and I got married young and you didn't care. Yaya was younger than me when she got pregnant with you. She didn't even have a great guy like I do."

"It's different your better than that."

I noticed out of the corner of my eye Louise motion for Jared to follow her into the other room. It was a wise decision since things were about to get very ugly. My eyes glinted with temper. "Are you suggesting there was something wrong with Yaya?"

Elan sighed. "No. Obviously I wouldn't exist if she hadn't gotten pregnant young. It was the best thing for her though she was always supposed to be a mother. I know you'll make a great one, but it was supposed to be one day not when you're turning twenty. You're supposed to be an author or have you forgotten?"

I bit my lip to stop myself from hitting him or throwing things. "I will be an author. I have no doubt of that. It is my career, and my talent. However, my life with Jared is just as important. I can do both. It won't be easy, but it's what I want. Excuse me for hoping my brother would support that." I grabbed my bag and called for Jared as I turned to leave.

"He never saw you Kim. You waited for seven years for him to notice you and you never questioned it when he finally did. Now you're throwing away your life for him."

I froze. I felt the tears that were never too far away due to hormones, water my eyes. I blinked angrily at them and turned to see Jared staring at Elan looking shocked and slightly hurt. Then he walked over to me and stood by my side, lightly taking my hand. I knew it was him searching for calm. The contact calmed me as well.

Louise stood staring at her husband with her mouth hanging open. I smiled weakly at Lu then turned back to my brother. "If you truly believe that you don't know me at all. I'm going to leave now before you say anything else you'll regret. Bye Lu."

I turned on my heel and left, feeling Jared rubbing my back as he followed. I'd wait until I got to the car to cry.

Jared opened the door for me and I got in feeling numb. The tears were still on hold as Jared pulled out of the parking space and turned towards the road near our house. That's when they hit. At first they were silent tears, and then the sobbing began. Jared pulled over to the side of the road, clicked off both our seatbelts, and dragged me over to him. I buried my face in his neck, breathed in his woodsy sent, and waited for it to calm me. Jared said nothing, only kept his hand at my hair. I was done after a few minutes and Jared put his finger under my chin, bringing my eyes to his. He looked just as troubled as me. I was guessing half of that was due to Elan's comment and the other because I was hurting.

"Are you ok?" He whispered.

"Yea. I'm sorry keep driving. That was silly of me."

"No it wasn't. Why do you think he said that?"

I sighed as I crawled back into the passenger's seat, and Jared started back up the car. "I think he's just concerned and he's never fully understood imprinting so he had to throw the possibility out."

"He knows I love you though he's seen us together."

"He knows, he just doesn't want to believe. He'll realize he was wrong. I think he's just wondering if I'll end up like Bella."

Jared growled. "As what a vampire?"

"No silly. It's something we talked about once. Bella was always a smart student you know. She reads all the time; she has always been more mature than most girls her age. Yet what did she do with her life? She threw it away. She never had any goals or aspirations in life, since she met Edward that's all her life has been. Don't get me wrong she obviously belongs with him, they love one another, and she is a great mother, but she won't ever do anything with her life other than be a vampire, a wife, and a mother. It's enough for her, but it's sort of sad don't you think? I think she'd make a wonderful writer and now she can't be."

"Do you think you've done the same as her? Have you given everything up for me?"

I smiled as I looked at him. "No. I have everything by being with you. I have enough confidence to know I can be a writer, and your wife, and a mother. I think I can do whatever I want to, as long as your there."

"I always will be."

"I know."

As we pulled into the driveway next to our house, I laid a hand on my stomach. I hadn't given anything up, and the great parts of my life were just beginning.
