La push
Once Sam and the boys had arrived back to his and Emily house they phased back and want inside. As soon as Sam was inside the first thing he did was flip the table over in a fit of rage. "SON OF A BITCH". he screamed.
"a leech, a leech, a god dam leech!". He kept saying over and over to himself.
"what the fuck was she thinking fucking him it's gross". Paul said angrily.
Though Sam had seen her being pregnant it hadn't accrued to him that she had actually gone as far as to have sex with the cold one. He picked up a choir and through of across the room, where it smashed into what seemed like a thousand little pieces.
'how could she…how could she'. Was the only thing his mind could come up with. 'just like that she slept with him, not knowing him at all after one night just after he came to kill us…how could she'.
"what the hell's inside of her then cos whatever it is it isn't half human". Said Jared who sounded like he was gonna choke on something.
Sam came to a complete stop. 'oh my god he's right what the hell is it would be…no I know what it is'.
Sam turned back to his pack. "you want to know what it is Jared it's a danger".
"well then when do we go". Paul said like he was ready to do whatever his Alfa ask of him. Like The loyal dog he was.
"hey wow what". Bradly one of the youngest members of the uley pack said. He and Collin were two of the youngest shape-shifters in there tribes history. Both of the boys where only thirteen years old when they want through the transformation. Leah and Seth were Bradly's cousins so all this talk about killing Leah who was pregnant with his second cousin didn't really sit well with him.
"we can't just kill her….. she's still my cousin". He said.
"Bradly we don't want to but if she's doing something that will threaten the lives of other people we don't have a choice". Jared said.
"umm well…. I don't know Jared I think Bradly's right ya know… we shouldn't…umm.. kill her". Collin said with an uneasy voice. Ever since the first time he'd seen Leah he'd thought of her as the most beautiful girl in the world. Because of him being a direct cousin to Jacob black he got to see her a lot more once they all got older.
"we may not have a choice. Look kids as long as that thing in side of her is a unknown threat it means it's still a threat. So as sad as it would be to kill her we'd have to do our duty… it's why we're here". Jared said with a nod.
"we should get the rest of the pack and go back there….. now". Paul said getting even more worked up.
Sam didn't speak for a long time. All he could do was think about what he'd just seen. 'it's why she wasn't at my wedding it was because she was to pregnant to come. Too sick because of that thing sucking the life out from inside of her. Too sick because of him that man who claims to be her imprint. Well I say no, that has to be bullshit he must of done something, anything. Some Vampires have abilities maybe he got someone he knew to do something to her because the Leah I knew…couldn't, wouldn't ever do that'.
"get them here we'll come up with something than head over". He said like it was final.
Just a Jared was gonna phased back and find them Brady spoke up again. "wait Sam what about Emily". Sam froze. "don't you think she'll be pretty upset about you killing her cousin".
"oh no. shit…she'd never forgive me if I did anything without talking to her'.
"fine…..the elders we'll go to them instead. But first I have find Emily… and billy I don't think Jacobs told him anything yet".
"Sam what if they say to leave it after Jacobs little imprint they might not see this one as a threat". Jared ask.
"no they'll have to I mean come on a shifter and a vampire baby that shit is fucked up there's no way that they'll be chill about that". Paul said.
"so it's settled we'll go to the elders and tell them what we saw and let them decide on what has to be done". That was the last thing the pack leader said before storming out of the house to look for his wife.
Leah
When Leah came too she was in the hospital room. She was lying on the bed with several blankets over her and a sleepy Demetri next to her. She closed her eyes and inhaled knowing what she was gonna see when she looked down but also not knowing. She panned her eyes down to her now even bigger baby bump. 'well would you look at that, I've become nine months pregnant in the span of nine weeks ha'. She thought.
She turned to her sleeping imprint and rubbed her fingers through his hair. 'it's so soft it's like silk. God I hope my baby gets his sort brown it feels so nice. Well I guess I'm not gonna be waiting long to see cos it looks like little B's gonna be here any day now. He's gonna be kicking his little legs on the outside of me now instead of on the in. I wonder if I'd miss it the waking up in the middle of the night from the feeling of small feet thinking the inside of my stomach was a soccer field. Or when I'm already up in the mornings and he let me know when he's woken up by giving me a few hard kicks. But I do know the one thing I'm never gonna get tired of is the way Demetri's face lights up when he gets to feel his sons feet ageist his hand. He looks so happy'.
"he hasn't left your side.. not once".
Leah gazed up to see Carlisle walking into the room and coming over to the bed.
"how long have I been asleep for doc?". She ask rubbing her eyes.
"since last night. You've been out for ten hours".
"ya it definitely feel like I have". She said stretching. "and he's been here the whole time".
"yes he refused to leave you. He didn't want you waking up without him here and not knowing where he was. He wanted to be here and make sure you were okay".
She inhaled looking at Demetri. 'he looks so peaceful when he sleeps. He doesn't look dead, I know all vampires kinda look dead with their pale skin and stone like stillness, but I never thought of him like that. No, to me he'll always be alive he's never felt cold or dead to me'.
"and everybody, how are they?".
"well your mother was quite shaken up from it, it could've been easy to see her daughter like that but once she calmed down she seemed to be fine. Your brother and Jacob were very worried as well. Jacob stayed for a few hours afterward but left after a while to help take Nessie home. Your brother was in here with Demetri for a lot longer but I told him to go get some sleep about two hours ago, so he's doing that right now. Quil and Embry had to go on watch duty And everybody else is just worried about what you want through. They all thought that, that would of been very painful to go through and that you must be exhausted".
'my poor mum she must have been going crazy standing here watching me going through that. Oh god what must have been going through her head. Would seeing me like that change the way she feels about the baby.
"he's gonna be here soon isn't he".
Carlisle gave her a friendly smile. "yes Leah it seems he will be".
"I can't believe it, I really can't I didn't even know about him until a little more than a week ago and now he's coming really soon.. like really soon… soon. And I'm happy, so happy but it's just happened all so fast and now…" Leah stopped to breath. " and now Sam knows and he's gonna go to elders and I'm scared for how their gonna take it. Then you have everybody else on the rez and it's just so… I mean god… I'm happy but I don't know how I'll handle it if….. my son gets put in anymore danger then he already has".
The doctor held her hand.
"I'm going to make sure that if anything does happen.. your baby will be fine".
"thank you " she said quietly.
He gave her hand one last squeeze then walked back over to pick up his clip bored off the desk. "so". He clicked his pen. "tell me what you are feeling right now".
A while later
"so mis Clearwater it looks like you're having a baby". Carlisle grinned. "and by the looks of it any day now".
The baby kicked happily under his hand.
"strong little thing isn't, I think by the way he's growing he's gonna grow up to be big and strong". he said.
"yep big and strong just like his daddy". Leah said running her fingers through Demetri hair while he slept.
Leah and Carlisle had been at it for about an hour. He had just been asking her quotations and doing tests, making sure that she was safe and healthy from last night events.
Demetri started to waking up when the doctor was finishing. He opened his eyes and the first thing he was Leah and her nine month baby bump, he didn't even acknowledge anything or anyone else in the room.
"piovoso". He sitting up and putting one of his hands on her forehead and the other on her bump. "how do you feel?". He ask his face and voice fall of concern.
Leah lovely smiled at him. "I'm…we are perfectly fine".
"I was…you just…and I didn't…..". Demetri was rambling, he didn't know how to explain what was going through his head last night when it happened. 'I mean one moment were sitting on the couch watching Claire yell at Phil for whatever cool thing he did that day then the next…she's screaming. My beautiful mate was screaming and in pain and there was not one thing I could do about it'.
"hey, hey, hey it's okay". Leah sat up and placed both of her hands on his face. "I couldn't do anything either. All I could do… was just sit there and take the pain. But this time was better…..".
"because you knew what to expect".
"because you were there…..you were right there with me and it made me feel safe….you make me feel safe. So it's okay.".
Leah moved up on the hospital bed and pulled Demetri closer to her. She brought his forehead close to hers and they just stayed that way. "it's goanna be fine, we'll be fine, all of us".
"and your ex?'
"he'll be taken care of".
So they just sat together in silence.
Outside the door
Seth
The couple hadn't realized that Seth was standing over by the door watching then through the barley open crack. 'well I guess he really does love her'. He through.
'I need to do something, by now Sam would of gone to the elders and all the other imprints and told them of what happened. I don't see the point in waiting here for the villages to come with their knives and pitchforks ready to burn my sister and her baby alive at the stake for something that she had absolutely no control over. Well I won't let them. I understand why Sam reacted the way he did because it wouldn't be the easiest thing in the world to find out that your ex is having a baby with a vampire but that doesn't mean that he can judge her like that. He can't honestly believe that one day she just woke up and decided that she all of a sudden loved vampires and that she needed to sleep with one of them. ew god that's gross through, not as much as the vampire thing more just the sister sex thing'.
Seth come to the end of the hallway and watched this mother sitting at the kitchen table drinking tea and taking with Esme, Rosalie and Alice. 'if… the villages were to come and they did chose to do something what would happen to my mom. She already lost her husband, what the hell would she do if we were to die. I know that she'd never forgive any of them, the others on the rez. Or what if they didn't decide to kill us but decided to chase us away. If they did need to run in the end I would do whatever I could do to go with them. it isn't that I don't trust Demetri to look after them especially after what I just saw. The problem is that I just don't trust him enough. Being on the run with a baby…that's impossible, that's hard they'd need me. He can't protect her and the baby alone and I'm not saying that she can't take care of herself and the baby but the hell are they meant to do if they have a run in with the fancy leeches or the pack or just an random coven. Where are they gonna put the baby if they're both fighting they can't hold off a group of threat with just the two of them. and let's not forget he sleeps now, you see if I was here we could at least take shifts so someone was always on alert, hell I pretty much do that for a living. And then at some point I'd find a way to meet up with our mum. What if they were to get to her and use her to try to coax us out of hiding if they couldn't find us'.
Seth watched his mother smile drink her tea and laugh at something Alice and said. she looked so happy. 'I need to do something to make sure my mother doesn't need to leave. She had Charlie now and he's real good for her, he's nice and the sheriff so people know not to mess with her… I think she'd be safe but I'm can't take that chance. Even if Bella wouldn't let anything happen to her father I need to make sure everything will be alright'.
Sue looked up and saw her son watching her. Then watched him back then a moment later She smiled at him then nodded. She knew what he must have been thinking because they didn't need words to know what had to be done. He nodded at her then left the door. He walked out of the house and into the woods. He undressed and phased into his wolf from, then picked up his clothes by picking them up in his mouth and running in the direction of Edward and Bella's home where he knew where Jacob would be.
At the house
Seth phased back into his human form and throw his clothes back on. He walked up to the door and knocked. Bella answered.
"hey Bella is Jacob still here".
"ya he's in Nessie's room go on ahead". She said moving out of the way of the door.
"thanks". He said walking past her. He made his way into Nessie bedroom to see this Alfa and Edward playing with her on the floor. "hey Edward, hey Jake can I talk to you".
Jacob turned to Nessie. "I'll be right back".
They want into the kitchen so they could be alone.
"so…do we have a plan?". Seth ask.
"I'm gonna stay for a few more minutes then head back to the rez and see my dad. Sam more than likely had already got to him so I need to do damage control".
"okay good cos we need to make sure Sam knows that he is not to touch her". Seth said seriously with a slightly dark tone in his voice. 'no one touches my sister…ever!'.
Jacob could see how much Seth was struggling with the danger of this situations and put one of this hand on his shoulder. "hey nothing is gonna happen….".
"we don't know that".
"….. your right we don't…. but I'm gonna go to him.. Sam and make sure he doesn't do anything okay".
"well then okay…but then we need to talk to Demetri as well".
"why?".
"to make a game plan in case…..in case it isn't okay. If shit hits the fan I want Leah and the baby as far away from this place as possible. And if imprints aren't together they can die, so we need to have a plan for him to take her and little B away so they can't get hurt. So he needs to be the one to look after her…. And that's why we need a game plan".
Jacob looked at the young wolf also like a proud father. He truly was impressed with how grown up he seemed at that moment. How willing he was to do whatever it takes of him to make everything safe. To make sure that his sister and nephew were safe…..and Demetri.
"I just want them to be safe at all cost… so we need to make sure Sam know that".
"okay I'll go now then". He said understanding what Seth needed from him.
"thank…I'll head back to the Cullen's, make sure Leah's okay after last night….". he stopped not knowing what to say. "I mean what happened last night it was just so…he's gonna be here soon. And from the way he…grow last night maybe any day now. So this needs to happen.. and soon I want my nephew to be born into a world were the first thing people do is oohing and awing over him instead of wanting to kill him".
There was a bit of a pause.
"okay so I'm gonna leave you and make sure she's fine and I'll see you later". Seth started walking to the door.
"okay I'll call you once I talk to him". Jacob called out as Seth left.
Still inside the house
Jacob
Jacob walked back into Nessie's room and knelt dawn to her. "Ness I'm gonna come back later okay I gotta go do something". He kissed the top of her head. "I'll see you later".
He got up and walked out. He was almost at the door when he heard his name being called. He turned to see Bella and Edward coming up behind him.
"so I'm guessing you heard".
"we were talking… if something were to happen and they had to leave maybe they could stay in Alaska with Denali coven. Eleazar and Demetri know each other when Eleazar was with the volturi we think he's be willing to let them stay here for a little while, while they think of something. Or there's Egypt where Demetri's old coven is. Amun may not be so welcoming but Benjamin I think would be more than happy to know about his nephew and a another form of hybrid". Edward finished.
"why are you two so willing to help all of a sudden". Jacob ask without missing a beat.
'I don't buy it for one minute they hated the idea of all this then magically they now wonna help. No they want something, something's going on'. "you guys hate Demetri and don't really like all to well Leah… so what's going on?". he crossed his arms.
"because I'm a father… and I understand what Demetri's going through wanting to keep Leah and the baby safe".
Jacob then turned to Bella.
"and you?".
There was a pause before she spoke. "because I do want to help. I saw terrified when I was pregnant that something was gonna happen… but also Renesmee has been in enough danger already. I do want to help them but I care about my baby's safety to. and in order to take care of my baby there can't be anymore danger around her".
Jacob nodded knowing what the need to protect Renesmee was like and understood that Bella was a mother to.
"well okay then I'll pass the message on". He then as he closed the door behind them.
'well here we go again to tell my dad about yet another big blow out were gonna be having. I wonder how much more he's be able to take. I'm just hoping that Sam hasn't gotten to him first and if he has then I hope my dad hasn't taken it to badly'
The Cullen's
"so he should be here in another couple of days". Carlisle was in the kitchen taking with Sue and his wife.
sue inhaled deep then laughed a little. "that's just…that's just ahh… wow I'm gonna be a grandmother. I'm going have a grandson….. and he looks healthy not to big not to small". She ask trying to calm herself down from the high of the first grandbaby.
"he looks perfect".
"Dr Cullen if it's alright with you I'd like to be here when he's derived. I'm a nurse so I'd like to help".
"miss Clearwater are you more than welcome….". the doctor didn't finish because a very annoyed Demetri strolled into the room with a mission.
"Carlisle can you please explain to that woman in there what bed ridden means". Demetri stomped out and pointed in the direction of the room Leah was in.
"YOU CAN'T FORCE ME TO STAY IN THIS ROOM DEMETRI". She yelled from the other.
"YES I CAN". He yelled back.
"she keeps trying to get up and walk around even though she's under your orders not to".
"DEMETRI YOU GOD DAMN TATTLE".
"I LOVE YOU TO". he yelled back angrily. "can you please tell her what walking around could do to her".
"AND WHAT WOULD IT DO TO ME DEMETRI".
He yelled back into her direction "YOU COULD FALL OVER OR TRIP OR GO INTO TO LABOR, YOUR WATER COULD BRAKE AND YOU COULD SLIP". He turned back to the doc. "Carlisle could you please do something?".
Carlisle gave it his all not to start laughing at the couple screaming at each other about walking around from two separate room in his house.
"okay, okay I'll go talk to her".
"thank you…YOU HEAR THAT HONEY HE AGREES WITH ME". Demetri shouted as he walk back into the medical room.
Carlisle turned back to the ladies with a smile. "sue if you'd like your more than welcome to join in on this as well". He said jokingly.
Sue Clearwater smirk and through her hands up in front of her. "no, no I'm fine thanks".
Several minutes later
After several minutes of Demetri and Leah yelling at each other, Carlisle was finally was able to make them come to an compromise. Leah will stay laying down but it will be the one in the bedroom and she can walk around there as much as she like. Leah grouchiest agreed to but agreed none the less. The truth was that She just wanted to shut up Demetri, and she figured that there was only gonna be a few more days until he's born so maybe she could just sleep though most of it.
The other part of the compromise was that Demetri would carry her to the bed room which she didn't love. 'the son of a bitch I am not a little kid who needs to be constantly watched'. She through as he carried her and carefully put her onto the soft bed. 'the stupid jackass'.
"you didn't need to carry me I could of walked here on my own I don't see why that was even part of the compromise". She huffed
"because I don't want you walking while you're in this state".
"this state, I'm just pregnant…..".
"yes your just pregnant but pregnant with my offspring and no woman of mine is gonna be putting any presser on herself while with child. So now if you'll excuse me I'm gonna go make you something to eat". The tracker stomped out of the room before Leah could say another thing.
"god he can be so infuriating". She groaned as she ran her fingers through her hair.
Carlisle smiled and shook his head.
The kitchen
"ladies". Demetri said casually strolling into the kitchen where the women were still chatting at the table.
"Demetri". Esme replied back with a little smile.
He walk past them and want straight to the cabinets where he grabbed out the Mac and cheese, And started to prepare her lunch.
There was a weird sort of tension in the air, it wasn't every day at the Cullen home that a volturi member would walk in and start making mac and cheese. Esme had become pretty comfortable with him around but her two daughters not of much. This was the first time the women had been along with the fearsome tracker since his arrival, any other times had been when there was someone else in the room with them, but now it was only Demetri.
"so… no woman of yours". Rosalie said in a drawn out tone. Not quit bitchy just more with a slight smugness.
"so you heard". He said with his back turned to them.
"yep". Rosalie said popping her lips.
"I thought it was sweet that you wanted to carry her". Else said softly with a warm smile in a motherly way.
"I just think it's best". He said quickly.
Sue looked around at the others women with unsure expression as to what they were taking about.
Alice notice and pointed to her ear. "super hearing remember". She had a cheeking grin. "so we were able to hear Demetri over there putting his foot down".
"I did not say I put my foot down".
"no, he's right he didn't but he did get all, no woman of mine, on her". The blond said with a smirk.
Sue raised her eyebrows and turned to her vampire son in law who's back was still turned to the group.
"she shouldn't be putting any strain on herself".
"Demetri don't you think that's a little overprotective?. I think she can walk on her own it isn't like she has bird leg they won't snap". Alice said with a grin.
"no I don't".
"waking could be good for her…..don't you think". Esme said.
"yes I do think walking would be good for her but the last time we did that the wolfs descended on us so that's out, but if she really needs to then she can do laps around the bed. At least if she falls she'll have the bed".
"I don't think she'd let herself fall". Alice said.
"well I think if she loses her balance then she really doesn't have that choice". Demetri was starting to get annoyed now.
"your aloud to worried about her we all are put she isn't glass". Rosalie said.
"she's stronger then she looks". Sue said.
"I know" he said quickly.
"Demetri all were saying is….". Esme said softly.
"all your saying is that I don't have to be so paranoid that something is gonna happen because she isn't glass well then fine but just because isn't glass doesn't mean something won't". he through both of his hands down on the counter".
"Demetri".
"she told me you know…. That she couldn't have kids that she was barren. Well what if what happened was only a freak onetime thing and that this is our last chance to have a baby. What if she did miscarry or her ex actually succeeds in getting to her next time….. what would that do to her". He was getting more and more upset, he was trying really hard not to let this voice crack.
he couldn't handle that thought of her having an miscarry….. because it would destroy her if she did. 'it would kill her and that would kill me to see her in that much pain. What if we couldn't conceive another one what if this really are our last chance'.
"it would absolutely devastate her…..she would brake… then I would break and I'm not willing to let that happen to her. Not after everything she's been through not after everything she's lost, after everything that's been taken, that the universe had taken…. Well the universe doesn't get this….it doesn't get him". He banged his hands down again, inhaled deeply then hung his head down almost like he was defeated.
The women looked at the two thousand year old vampire not expecting him to be so invested in this. It wasn't that they didn't think he didn't care, no not at all. It was just that he was a volturi and their not known for being semimetal. So one being so caring and affectionate was a very strange site, not to mention one with red eyes.
but the vampire ladies did have to admit that if one of the volturi members was gonna be the most caring it would more than likely be Demetri. He was known as the polite well manded one. The not very talkative gentleman who always was elegant and Classie. So it wasn't a huge shocker, but it was still extremely unexpected.
All the grins and smirks dropped from the women's faces realizing how deep this river ran with him. that he was truly going through something difficult and it was getting harder and harder for him each day.
Though sue couldn't see his face she knew that he was trying to keep it together. Sue didn't try to show how worried she was about because she knew it would upset her daughter. But at that moment Demetri being her grandbaby's father and future son in law didn't seem to daunting. She take a deep breath and put the tea she was drinking dawn and stood up from the table. She walked over to the vampire not facing any of them and lifted her right hand up and placed it on to his right shoulder. For a moment he stiffened, then after twenty seconds she placed her left arm around his waist and rested her head against his back.
Demetri was still frozen on the spot, he wasn't expecting Leah's mother to hug him… him. Though uncomfortable he did relax in to it and took his right hand off of the counter and brought it up and placed it on her hand that was on his shoulder. He gave it a squeeze not to tightly he being a vampire didn't want to crush her hand, but he did want to show some sort of affection towards her so she didn't think that he was actively being rude by not acknowledging her. But he did think it was kind of her to try to make him feel better.
'well I might not know her quit like I should but at least I can feel a little less stressed out knowing that she doesn't completely despise my existence in her daughter's life and that she is willing to try with me'. He thought.
They stayed that way for a few moments. It was nice until Demetri remembered Leah.
"Esme" he said.
"yes Demetri"
"I don't know how to make mac and cheese".
La push
The black house
Jacob phased back, dressed and ran into the house. As soon as he walked in a very freaked out billy came rolling up to him.
"Jacob what happened?". He ask his voice filled with worry and concern.
"Sam came by".
"yes, yes he dd… Jacob is what he's saying true?". His son didn't answer him. "IS IT TRUE". He yelled.
"yes".
"shit Jake…how did this happen".
"I can explain that to you…..".
"how, how do you explain this son".
"what has Sam told you".
He turned around and wheeled himself back in to the living room. "he told me that Leah want and got herself pregnant…. By a vampire…"
"ya that's what he told you that's all?". Jacob ask keeping up behind him as he rolled away.
"good lord is there more.. what else could he have missed out. What part would he have forgotten".
"….. the part where she imprinted on him".
Billy stopped and spun around fast to face him son.
"imprinted".
"yes….. Sam doesn't believe that that's possible so he's wants to disprove that by going to the elders before she can".
"son..".
"ya I know how this sounds but it's true. His names Demetri and I believe that he does care about her….". he was cut off.
"and the baby. When's the baby meant to be here?".
"… in the next few days…".
Billy signed heavily and ran his fingers though his hair. Jake knelt down to be at eye level.
"I need to know what the elders want to do about this. I need to make sure my pack will be safe".
"they haven't done a thing yet they've tried to get in touch with sue but she wasn't answering so they've been waiting for you or one of you pack to show up".
"what happened when Sam told them?". he ask eagerly needing to know what he needed to do for his pack.
There was a pause.
"dad!".
"they weren't…. they weren't happy about it. They think that just by letting the Cullen's live around here is reckless enough, but now having an actual blood drinking vampire here is too much".
Jacob shut his eyes tightly for a moment before opening them again. "but he's an imprint they can't hurt him".
"I know son…. I don't know if Sam's told them about the imprint or not I'm sure he has told them at least because even without him they'd find out anyway".
"so what does this mean?".
Billy exhaled. "they'd want to meet with him, this Demetri. They'd need to know if he were a danger for themselves before anything else… they'd want to see you, I'm meant to let then know as soon as you got here".
"come on then let's go". Jacob wheeled his father out of the house to go find the elders. All the while praying that the situation wouldn't get to ugly.
Several minutes later
Demetri was sitting at the table with them mostly just listening to Alice talk about what baby things they'd needed.
After Esme made the mac and cheese for him he took it into Leah who was still mad at him so he was evicted from the bedroom until she was could stand him again. So that left him back in the kitchen… but he didn't mind not really.
"Demetri!". Alice said trying to get his attention.
Demetri looked up to see all the women looking at him, not realizing that he had zoned out.
"sorry what?". He ask.
"I said the nursery".
"the nursery?".
"ya the nursery…. What have to decide for it".
Demetri hadn't really thought about where they want after the baby was born. He was so focused on Leah that it never accoutred to him. To him it was just where Leah wanted to go.
"umm no. no I haven't…um…maybe Beatrix potter".
"aww that would be cute".
"wait with all the rabbits and the ducks". Roselia said with a grin.
"I think that would cute Demetri, what made you think of that?". Esme ask.
"I don't know I just… thought it be nice for him". It was true he really didn't know what made him think of Beatrix potter. It had that come to him.
"okay so Beatrix potter it is then. Okay so now where are you planning on having the nursey". Alice ask chirpily.
'shit…I'm not ready for this yet'.
"umm well you know I haven't really thought about where, but umm I'm sure Leah had some ideas so".
The ladies looked at each other.
"well do you know where you'll be living?". Alice ask the tracker.
At this Sue pecked up wanting to know what he would say. Sue had worried about where they would live when the baby was born. She knew that they wouldn't say at the Cullen's home forever, because she knew her daughter though appreciated the help that they have been given them she wouldn't want to live with them.
There was a long pause where Demetri hadn't spoken. "I um think she mentioned finding a place on the rez.. but I wasn't sure how that would work with the shifters". He turned to sue, he didn't really make eye contact though. "she mentioned moving in with you, she said that she needed you and if it's okay with you I'd like to make her happy. I think you being around would make her feel a lot safer ".
Sue inhaled deeply. 'my baby needs me'. "you really mean that Demetri". She said trying not to get emotional.
"yes, yes I really do".
"oh Demetri that's so sweet". She reach over and grabbed his hand.
"ya I think it's real sweet to but what the hell are we gonna do about Sam and the elders if they don't like this." Seth said walking into the kitchen and taking a seat on the other side of this mother.
"honey what happened when you want to see Jacob?". She ask her son with a concerned voice.
"you want to see Jacob". The tracker ask.
"ya he said he's gonna go to Billy and see what he's been told. Then to see the elders, he knows that Sam would of gone to them by now and the fact that they haven't done anything thing yet may be a good sign or a bad one but we won't know until I get a call from Jacob".
"and what then". Rosalie ask. "what, they just decide that the baby is more then a danger then they thought Nessie was and that's that".
"they could… or they could just decide to end them, but I don't think they would". Sue said with a calm but darker tone then Seth was used to.
"why, why do you think that?". Her son in law ask her.
"because I'm a council member and killing the family of a council member wouldn't be a good thing for them. it would be a very bad sign of disrespect".
"that could be why they haven't done anything yet". Esme said looking worried.
"they'd be waiting to hare from you". Rosalie added.
"it would be the first time in our history that something like this wouldn't happened. They'd need to handle this delicately, so doing something as drastic as killing a members child…..".
"and a pregnant child no less". Rosalie added again.
"would scare our tribe and they wouldn't want to risk there being mass panic". She finished staring down at the table.
" I told Jake that we needed a game plan in case it goes bad and they need to leave". Seth looked up to Demetri. "Demetri if they chose to attack us you need to get Leah and the baby and ran. Don't care about frighting just take them and go then we'll take care everything here and after that we'll meet you somewhere okay".
"of course I would, I would take then to the other side of the earth if I could but I have a dreading feeling that Sam won't make it easy for us. I mean it isn't like he could catch us anyway but I wouldn't want us on the ran for the rest of our lives".
"and that's why I won't let them". sue spoke with a serious voice. "if they don't listen to reason then they will have to listen to me. They won't be driving my baby and grandbaby away from me…. Not like they have in the last few years". She mumbled the last part to herself.
Demetri was about to ask what she had meant by that but was interrupted by the sound of Seth's phone ringing.
The table want dead silent as they all stared at Seth phone. So he reached to answer it.
