Wolf? Meet Floor.
Summary: Wolves don't fait. It's just not possible.
Bella/Embry
It was the holiday season. Christmas Eve was slowly winding down, many of the wolves either knocked out and sprawled across Sam and Emily's living room, the room filled with snickers and snores. The house was pretty much asleep, all bodies accounted for. Except for two people. Bella retched up dinner for the third time that night, a warm body standing above her. His large hands held her air up as she gagged. She flushed the toilet, her face scrunched up. She glanced up at Sam who was looking at her concerned.
He helped her up, leading her to the sink. "You're going to tell him right?" He asked, taking the brush, and brushing her hair. Emily always liked when he did that. Bella even found it soothing. She nodded, looking even more pale. "Tomorrow." She said, rinsing her mouth out. Sam chuckled, watching her for a moment longer. "He's going to faint." Bella rolled her eyes, letting out a weak chuckle.
"He just might. He thinks I'm sick. Caught a cold from being out in the rain a few weeks ago." She shook her head with a small smile. "How'd you know?" She asked curiously, taking Sam's arm as he led her back to the guest bedroom. "Your symptoms are just like Emily's, albeit she's 7 months pregnant, and I guess it's an alpha thing." He said, lowering his voice as he pushed the bedroom door open.
Embry laid in bed snoring softly. Sam fondly patted her head and closed the door behind her, making his way back to his own bedroom. As soon as Bella crawled into bed and got comfotable, Embry's arms wrapped around her, pulling her flush against him. He didn't wake, he was a heavy sleeper, but like he says, 'I feel you at night'. Bella sighed in content, her stomach a bundle of nerves. She rolled over, facing him, her eyes adjusting to the moon lit room. She ran her fingers across his chest softly, using one hand to move the hair from his eyes. She kissed under his jaw, suppressing a giggle as she concluded that Embry would definitely faint. She closed her eyes sighing content.
Bella watched her pack family open their gifts with a smile on her face. She was curled under Embry's arm. She and Embry decided to only to get each other one gift for Christmas. They promised. While the others were focused on other things, the two passed on their gifts. Bella was handed a rectangular box. Taking off the wrapping paper she found a jewelry box.
Opening the box, she gasped at the sapphire diamond bracelet. Her eyes watered as Embry took it out of the case and flipped it over, showing her the engraving. Forever and Always- Forever Yours. "Oh Embry." She breathed. Her hand shook as he slipped the bracelet on, kissing her temple. "I love you." He whispered into her ear. Bella smiled, reaching down to grab her gift to him.
He opened the little square package, smiling wide at the mini photo album along with a set of documents. Embry never knew his birth father, and it was suspected that he was related to one of the boys, but there was never any documentation. Bella did some snooping and with Charlie's help, tracked down his birth father. His name was Timothy Lahote. Twin to Paul's father, who no one ever heard about. Timothy skipped LaPush after meeting Embry's mother. He was afraid of his birth right and left, hoping to get away before he too turned. He was 23 at the time, and didn't know Embry's mother had gotten pregnant. She sent him copies of Embry's foot prints, pictures of when he was born.
Timothy died from cancer of all things just a few months ago, his dying wish was for the truth to be told. Embry squeezed Bella to him tightly, kissing her sweetly on the lips. "Hey, Paul... look." Bella watched as he left her side, going to his cousin. She smiled as the two roughhoused for a moment, Paul shooting her a grateful smile. Sam sat down next to her, and Bella leaned her head on his shoulder. "Would you like any help?" He whispered. Bella took in a breath and shook her head. "No. You're right though. He's going to faint." Sam chuckled and rubbed her arm as Embry came to reclaim his spot.
Bella pulled up a bag, looking nervous. "Babe, I thought we only said one gift." He chuckled, taking it from her. Everyone seemed to quiet down, watching the couple. He pulled out what looked like baby clothes, his eyebrows drawing together. "Welcome to Parenthood?" He asked curiously. Bella fiddled with her fingers as he pulled out the last item, her pregnancy test.
Embry stood with a rush. His eyes were wide as he stared at it and then her. "Really?" He asked. A wide smile broke out on his face and Bella glanced at Sam with surprise. He didn't- "Embry." Bella stated as the wolf fell to the floor. She shook her head trying to not laugh. She gasped slightly as the little jewelry box fell out of his pocket. She reached for it, opening it up to see a diamond ring, simple, just how she liked. It fit her perfectly.
"Oh Embry." She sighed with a smile. He blinked his eyes open, his widening on the box. "That's not how I wanted this to go." He sat up slowly and took the box. Bella didn't wait for his question, and flung herself at him. "Yes. I will marry you." The pack let out a laugh. All in all, this Christmas would be unforgettable.
