Chapter 46
It's been a couple of weeks and we're now in January. I woke up and found a big Christmas gift on my front porch. I didn't even it yet and it's sitting in the corner of the Living room were I was going to put the Christmas gift at. I haven't heard from Jacob I heard that he's healing up but he's still in pain. Good.
I still talk to Embry and Quil. I have nothing else to say to the rest of them. Leah warned me. It was signs left and right and it was expected but I thought Jacob loved me greatly not to overstep that line but he didn't. At the end of the day, he has to face that he won't be part of his son's life like he wanted but I guess he's happy as crap having Bella in his house. Fuck that bitch.
I sit up on Paul's couch and walk to the living room window. Who's the lucky blonde haired lady who been visiting him and giving him all types of sexual favors? I move the curtain to see him making out with Nurse Miller. I shake my head in disappointment. That's a desperate woman to the core. She gets in the car and wave at me. Paul turns around to look me in the face. I shake my head and sit back on the couch.
He walks in a couple of minutes later and closes the door behind him. "You know that's my high school nurse." I say as he walks to the kitchen. "Is it?" He asks not caring. "Yeah, she is. The one I was telling you about who came to my house at night and nearly sent me into early labor. I had to go to the doctor the next day because I could've sworn I was having back pains. She nearly killed your niece or nephew." I say.
He closes the fridge and looks in my face. "I don't know what happened between you and Bella but that crap came around and tore my relationship with Jacob up." I say scared to sit on the couch now. If they have been having sex all around the place. Ew. "Does she know that you're seventeen years old?" I ask walking towards him and sitting on the couch then imagining him and Nurse Miller having sex all around the house.
"Nope." He say leaning on the counter and getting in my face. "I'm just wondering because this grown lady is steady going around stalking me and obviously she thinks you're the real father of Sarah when I never had sex with you. Did I? I mean did we do a sex thing in the back of a car or in a movie theater? What is going on, Paul?" I ask him.
"My life is none of your business." "And, I understand that. For you to come around and have this lady who's my school's nurse knock on my door at ten at night to confront me about sleeping with you. I have high blood pressure problems and I been going left and right for a week straight. What reason is for her to knock on my door? Did you get her pregnant? Is she a hidden wife or something? Do you not see the problem?" I ask as he turns his back on me and walk into the bedroom.
I get off from the chair and follow behind him making sure that I cover my nose up. He lays on the bed not saying a thing. "This lady has a problem with me for her to visit my house trying to so call threaten me about you, Neil. Then, her talking about Mr. Howard. Paul, I don't want to break your neck if something happens to Sarah because of your one night stand." I say walking towards him and slapping him in the face.
He sits up and looks me in the face. "Your bedroom stinks smelling of nasty yeast infections and STD. She does not know that you're an underage?" I ask him. "No." "Paul, whatever. I don't want this bitch coming to my house again talking about you and your sex adventures. I am done." I say leaving out of the bedroom and walking into my bedroom. I lay down on the bed taking off my shoes. I feel my blood pressure raising up. Nasty people.
I'm about to watch TV when I hear a knock on the back door and I move the curtain to see who it is. Jacob. I get up off the couch and walk into the kitchen to look out of the window because he's no longer welcomed to my house. I open the curtain up. "Yeah." I say still looking at his mangled face. He looks so pathetic. He holds up a small Christmas wrapped gift. I open the door up for him.
"Come in, Jacob." I say inviting him in. He walks in and I close the door behind him. I know I said he was no longer welcomed but as much as he hurt me. He's still in my heart. I lock the door and turn to see him sitting at the kitchen table. I look at the gift that's sitting on the table. "How's your face?" I ask him. "Healing up, Lacie." "It's just how crazy how things has went downhill for us because of your attitude when my relationship with Mr. Howard was nowhere to how you was putting it. He was just helping me out when you left me high and dry for Bella. Now, look at your face." I say pointing to his face.
I swear I can hear him breathing. "I'm sorry." "She was a friend and we're supposed to have a future for our daughter and maybe future children if we are able to have them but you decided that you wanted Bella who had a fiancee then another wolf who was your pack brother chasing behind her and dealing with her crap. All of that summer love and us going on dates went out of the window as soon as you found out that Bella might not be Paul's." I say.
"I'm sorry." "I bet you are, Jacob. I seen it months coming but I didn't expect you to jump quick but I don't know that bitch-" "She is not a bitch." "Jacob, whatever." I say walking to him and taking the gift box. I unwrap it and open it up to that it's nothing in the box. He looks me in the face. "You lied on me." He growls out. "Ain't nobody lie on you. You did what you did with Bella and was caught." I say putting the box on the table.
He shake his head while looking at me. "You wanted Bella at the cost of your relationship with me and our future. Bella has nothing to lose like you do. You have a growing family and a woman who loves you." "But you cheated on me." "We was not together and you kept pushing and pushing and made your point across that you wanted Bella and you seen the time as now that she might not be Paul's imprint and you jumped at it. Just grow up and see you was busted and wrong in what you did to me. Sam the main one who tries to justify your actions." I say disbelief.
"She might be my imprint." He say. "All you could've said but you went around for months beating around the bush and having fun from the rush of chasing Bella and putting me through so many situations that nearly cost me our daughter. Well, mine." "She's my daughter too." "Whatever, Jacob. You was not thinking about her when you knew what situation I was going through and you still mad the effort at pushing and pushing." I say sitting down in the chair.
"I'm sorry." "The only thing you can say. You two loved the enjoyment of sneaking behind people backs till it came out when we all knew it was something going on between you two. You are no longer invited into my house. You are not invited when I got to my doctor's appointment. I don't need your help setting up her nursery or going shopping for her things. I just want you at her delivery, Jacob. All I am asking is for support and to be there if I have any other medical drama. You can leave, Jacob." I say to him.
He just sits there. "You cheated on me." He say. "You slept with the girl who I once called a friend. You pushed me into the arms of another man while you was going around chasing behind Bella. It's the end. It was no cheating in our relationship when we did not have one. It was months. I am not going to stress over you, Jacob. Bella is three to four houses down. You go visit her and tell her. That Paul is sleeping with the school nurse." I say getting up from the table and going upstairs to run me a bath and leaving him sitting in the kitchen.
I hear a loud noise. Not my kitchen table. I just shake my head heading in the bedroom to go get me some clothes. A nice relaxing bath to take the tension off my back and ease my muscles. I'll open that Christmas gift later on tonight.
I'm walking around the house in my bathrobe while Jacob is upstairs sleeping in my bed. I sigh noticing the mysterious Christmas gift is no longer in the corner. Jacob must've moved it. I look at the wolf bracelet on my wrist that Jacob gave me. It was on my computer desk. I'm guessing maybe the baby might've moved it out of the box.
I scratch my hair before turning around to look at Paul who's having sex on his bed with the door wide open. Another blond woman. He has a knack for a blond woman. I hope it's not Nurse Miller. He stops the lady before throwing her off him and I watches him slide off the bed and putting on his shorts. I had to his kitchen and dump all of the food out of the cabinets and on the floor. I have not forgive him for bringing Nurse Miller to my house.
"What is that noise?" I hear the lady's voice asks. She doesn't sound like Nurse Miller. I don't hear Paul's response but I hear him walking into the living room. I open the fridge and toss all of the food out spilling things milk, beer, juices, and eggs all over the floor. I turn around to face him while he just looks in my face. "That's hurtful to any woman having a manwhore going around having different sex with different women. How you expect your wife to forgive you in the future and not having to walk around wondering if Paul slept with this woman or that woman? Or maybe do he have hidden children all around?" I ask him.
He just looks at me. I hear the door knob trying to open up. "I forgive him, Paul." I say looking in his eyes. He doesn't really care. "We made up and we talked to each other and it's been weeks since we seen each other and I did my dirt too. We talked all that day and I seen that I was in the wrong as much as he was. I cheated on him. He cheated on me but I really love him and I want us to work out for Sarah." I say playing with my finger.
He doesn't respond. "I'm lying but I'm still going to whip your ass for allowing that Nurse to come to me with that drama. I have to go." I say turning back around and coming face to face with Jacob. I can't tell what face he's putting on because I don't care. "Did you move my gift?" I ask pointing in the corner of the living room. "I put it in your bedroom. It was in the corner." "It was there for a reason, Jacob. It was were my tree was going to go but you decided that you wanted Bella. It's no forgiving you nor her. Get out my house." I say and walk past him and up the stairs.
I close the door once I get in my bedroom and lay down on the bed. He comes knocking on my door a few seconds. "Come in." I say. He opens the door and walk in closing it behind him. "I don't know what you want me to say." He say. I sit up on the bed. "You slept with this girl who I hate to the core. Let's move past it." I say shaking my head and rubbing on my stomach.
He looks at my stomach and I grab his hand putting it on my stomach. He scoots forward and kissing my stomach. "I'm real sorry, Lacie." He say looking up at me. "No, you are not. Jacob, you made my life a living hell while you was going around with Bella left and right then you had sex with her on Christmas Eve and you gave her a bracelet. I'm giving you a child that I'll probably never be gifted with again and you spitted in my face." I say taking off the bracelet and throwing it at him.
He picks it up and looks at it. "That's the bracelet you gave Bella. You ain't give me nothing. You took your nap when nothing is wrong with you. Now, go back to that bitch because I'm not done with her nor am I done with you. Get up and get out my house. You don't move nothing and you don't touch my things that do not belong to you. The rules still apply and you want Bella. There's the door or be thrown out." I say to him.
"I'm-" "Get out." I say opening up the bedroom door for him. He gets up and leave out my bedroom leaving the door open. I sigh looking down at my stomach. Can't believe that man slept with Bella. I should confront her. It's been a month and she has not tried to contact me because I embarrassed her sending her half naked to Paul's bedroom. You don't sleep with my wolf because you don't have one of your own or is Jacob her wolf? Either way, she getting her ass whipped.
I'm walking through the school waiting on the bell to ring. The next semester should be starting and I still have to pick my classes. I got Mr. Howard as my history teacher and I guess he'll have to transfer me out. I walk past the nurse's office. What she does with Paul is none of my business. You don't bring that crap to my house for no apparent reason. Why?
I keep on walking and see a chair that's sitting in the hallway and I take my seat. My feet are killing me. They're swollen. My back is killing me. It's just getting crazy. I'm really really showing and I'm starting to think if it is twins but Dr. Roberts says it's a big baby girl. She's getting big and I'm just getting fat. It happens. I hear a classroom door opening up and I see Mr. Howard stepping out and closing the door behind him.
"How you doing, Ms. Thorne?" He asks walking up to me. "I'm doing fine. I'm just resting from walking a whole lot." I say rubbing on my stomach. "Do you want to come in? Class is about to end." I nod my head and he helps me up and I follow behind him as we enter the classroom and all eyes fall on me. "I'll just sit in the back." I say walking towards the back and sitting at an the empty desk. I shake my head when the students looks my way.
"Turn around class." Mr. Howard announces and they turn back around. I sigh taking off my coat and unzipping my second coat off. It's a little bit hot in the classroom. I wipe my forehead too. Class should be ending in twenty minutes. I put my head on the desk and maybe by time I open my eyes class will be over. I feel someone tapping on my shoulder and I look at the person.
"Class is over." He say with his bookbag on his back. "Already." I say rubbing on my tired face. "Yeah, it was just two minutes till class was ended." I nod putting my head back in my head. I look at the floor to see him still standing near me then walking away. I sit up to see Mr. Howard walking around the classroom collecting worksheets from the desk.
"So, Jacob slept with another girl from his tribe." I admit. He sits down at his desk. "I'm sorry to hear that." He say in my face. "Yeah, it hurt my feelings to the core because I don't know what he was thinking. One of his friends beat him down badly." I say feeling my heart skip a beat. "So, what you do?" He asks. "I had to do something to the girl." "Yeah, you look like you did." He say.
"He slept with her on Christmas Eve. I had to clear my mind about what was going concerning him. He took it to heart." I say feeling water in my eyes. "I'm sorry to hear that." "Yeah, it was the fact that I cheated on him but to do it while pregnant with his daughter. It was with Bella." "I figured, Ms. Thorne." "Yeah." "So, what you do?" "Nothing yet but I'm thinking of getting her to the core."
"She's not worth it." "And, she's really not. I just move on with my life because they have to look in my face each and everyday when he picks up his daughter. I'm starting to think that he's not worthy of being a father to my child." "You can't take his child from him." "Yes, I can. I don't want a little boy like that around my child." He just keeps looking in my face. "Ms. Thorne, you can't rob your daughter of her father before his actions. You're taking from her."
I breathe out. "I can if I want too. I didn't come here to discuss Jacob and Bella. They aren't worth it. Are you doing anything because I need help and you're the only person who I know who has a car?" "I can't help you out unless it's a medical emergency, Ms. Thorne." He say. I nod my head putting my coat on me. "What did you want?" He asks me. "I just wanted to go shopping for Sarah's nursery." I say to him.
"I'm sorry, I couldn't help it." "It's okay." I say standing up out of the desk. "I'll just ask Dr. Roberts. He gets off and maybe we can actually talk about what happened because he haven't really talked to me about it." I say walking down the hall and towards the door. "Thanks again." I say opening up the door. "You're welcome, Ms. Thorne." He say as I walk out of the classroom and glances Nurse Miller talking to a female student.
She make eye contact with me and wave. I just shake my head in disgust and walk down the hall towards the exit. I see Mr. Howard walking out of his classroom and looking at me then Nurse Miller in the reflection of the window. I open the door and walk out as I feel his eyes on me and I head towards the bus stop to go to the clinic and wait for Dr. Roberts to get off work.
So, Dr. Roberts agreed to take me baby shopping for a crib. It's a start and everything. I need to get my mind off the Jacob situation. Dr. Roberts haven't said anything about me pushing him even though I apologized to him. I look at him looking at the different types of cribs. He glances back before looking back at them. "You see something you like, Lacie?" He asks me.
I just stare at him. I wonder what going through his head. Did he have sex with Nurse Miller? I mean it's out that he obviously have some feelings for her. "I don't." He say looking at me making me laugh hard. "Sorry, Dr. Roberts. I thought you did from the get go." I say walking up to him and looking at the crib that he was looking at it. "It turns into a bed but it's kind of pricey." He say.
I look at the price tag. "It's about eight hundred dollars. That's too much and I want the baby to sleep with me in the bed." "You don't want her spoiled, Lacie." He say to me. I grab onto his arm while he's just looking in my face. I tug onto his coat pulling him close to me. "I would really love that crib for Sarah, Dr. Roberts." I say digging into his coat pockets. He take my hands out his pockets.
"I'm only joking, Dr. Roberts. I'll take any cheap crib but I do want Sarah to be sleeping in the same bed as mine. You think she'll be spoiled?" I ask him. "She'll be real spoiled, Lacie." "Okay. I just came for some paint and maybe some clothes." I say realizing I hurt his feelings. He turns back to the crib. "You don't buy it for me if you get that notion, Dr. Roberts. A cheap crib or bassinet will work. Eight hundred is too much especially when it can go to clothes and diapers." I say pulling back on his coat.
He looks at me. "I just want you to know that I am real sorry about your hand. You did so much for me and in return I did nothing but hurt you." I say shrugging my shoulders. I don't know what else to say. I grab both his hands and kiss on them. "I know you having a hard time with the pain and everything but let heal them." I say kissing them again.
"Thanks, Lacie." He say taking his hands out of mine. "No problem, Dr. Roberts. Cribs don't come till later. Can you help me pick out some colors for her nursery?" I ask her. "Sure." He say and I nod leading him towards the paint aisle. "Do you have a color in mind?" He asks looking at the paint samples. "Green is one of them. I'm thinking maybe blue." "Blue is for boy, Lacie." He say looking at the green shades.
"I know but I don't want yellow nor pink because it's traditional colors." I say looking at the green. Well, mostly green as a color. He picks out a light green color. "You want a light green color." He say handing it to me. "It's a shade darker then the one that I already had." I say looking at it. "Will you paint the room for me?" I ask him. "I'm not your boyfriend nor your father, Lacie." He seriously say.
"And, I know that. I just don't have a man around the house to things for me and I heard women are supposed to be around paint." I say playing with my fingers. He's mad. "I'll have to see, Lacie." "I know it's too much to ask for you especially when I could've ruined your career." "You can never ruin my career, Lacie." He say back. I nod my head. Maybe I shouldn't did that stunt earlier.
"Is this all?" He asks. "Yeah, it is." I say and he looks at me. I turn around and head towards the exit of the store. He follow behind me. We reach his car and get in. I put on my seatbelt while looking at the paint sample. It's quiet as we drive out of the parking lot and down the road. "I don't want to say anything because it's none of my business but Nurse Miller-" "What she does in none of my business either long as she does not confront you again."
"Okay." I say looking out of the window. I put my hand on his hand that's on the gear stick. "Lacie." I take my hand off. "I'm sorry that I did that thing in the store and I was about to when someone looked our way and I stopped." "To, what? Kiss me? I don't mess with little girls especially ones who slept with my married best friend, Lacie." He say. "My life is gone, Dr. Roberts. Jacob betrayed me in the worse way possible. I'm just crazy." "It'll get better." He say. I nod my head.
