Chapter 47
After deciding between both of the green colors that each Mr. Howard and Dr. Roberts picked out. I decided to just get both of them. One's a shade darker then the other. I'll just use both of them. The light on top and the dark on the bottom. I invited Dr. Roberts over on his day off to help move my things out of my bedroom and into the main bedroom. Embry and Quil are also helping. They got the day off.
The main bedroom that was kept empty except for the bed. I had to play the role like it was parents in the room. I shake my head as Quil and Dr. Roberts move my computer desk out of it. "I called Mr. Howard to help and practically begged him." I say watching Embry take my bed board a part. "What did he say?" Dr. Roberts asks from the main bedroom. "He said he'll be over. That was fifteen minutes ago but I left the door unlock for him."
"He's outside." Embry say and I walk towards the window and look at him walking up to the front door wearing regular clothes. "It's unlock." I say. He looks up at me and walk into the house. Embry looks at me. "What about Jacob?" He had the nerve to ask me. Quil shake his head walking into the room and grabbing a lamp. "What about him? He destroyed our relationship with Bella. It's nothing and he is never allowed in my house until the baby is born then we'll talk after." I say.
Quil looks at Embry. "Had to ask." He going back to unscrewing the headboard. I'm about to dig into him when Mr. Howard walks up and looks into the bedroom. "She's getting this room." "Yeah, she'll have this room. I got the main room." "And, your parents?" "They left me the house while they're still traveling." I say shrugging. Quil just walk past Mr. Howard. He doesn't seem to care.
"You have the paint?" He asks me. "Yeah, I got your color and I got Dr. Roberts color. So, yours on top." "Not the first time." Embry whisper. "Embry, don't come with that or you can leave." I say. "Is there a problem?" Mr. Howard asks him. "Yeah, how can you sleep with girl who's pregnant with another man's baby?" "Because it's just happened." "And, it was on me. Embry, stop it or you can leave." I say.
He just shrugs and Quil looks in at him. "Jacob ruined it for them too. Leave it alone, Embry." He say. Keep going on, Embry. "Jacob knew exactly what he was doing when he kept at it with Bella. He deal with the consequences and you mind your own business. I remember were you didn't come around my house nor call warning me about Bella. So, mind your own business." I say. He just stay silent.
"What you need help with?" Mr. Howard asks me. "Um, we're about done? But, I brought paint brushes and the two cans of paint. I just want the dark on the top and bottom of the wall and the light in the middle." I explain pointing to the wall. "Anything else?" "Surprise me if you can think of anything. I'll need to get animals and other things after I get her crib." I explain checking his face out. He just nods his head.
I sigh rubbing on my stomach. I can't wait to see how Sarah's room is going to turn out. "Do you have a specific design?" He asks. "None yet. I know I want her room green but I don't have a design yet. Maybe, I'll run pass something." I say. "Okay." "Just a grab a screwdriver and take down." I say pointing to the bed and he nods. "Or you can help Dr. Roberts in the main room." I say grabbing on his arm but he moves it out of my grip and he walks out of the room.
I turn around to look at Embry. He just shrugs and I walk out as Quil leaves out of the main room. Dr. Roberts looks at Mr. Howard as he walks in. He looks around. "This is a very big room, Ms. Thorne." "Thank you. I never used it and Sarah will love my old room. It'll be nice and she can grow into it." I say looking at him unzipping his coat. "So, just organize the room. I'm going to take a nap." I say turning back around and walking towards the bathroom and closing the door.
I throw up a little bit in the toilet. Someone knocks on the toilet. "Lacie, are you okay?" Quil asks. "Yeah, it's just morning sickness." I say looking at the throw up on the toilet seat. I grab some tissue paper and he opens the door with Dr. Roberts standing behind him. "You okay?" "Yeah." I say wiping the throw up off and throwing it in the toilet. I flush it and wash my hands. They both stand there looking at me.
"What?" I ask in the mirror. "Just your face is getting pretty big." Quil say. "Big for five months, right?" He nods making me smile a little bit. I dry my hands on my shirt and walk towards them. "Thanks guys." I say hugging on Quil. He wrap his arms around me. "No problem." I say seeing Embry glancing my way. I look at him too. "Why don't you sleep on the couch and we'll finish up." Quil say. I nod my head and he leads me out of the bathroom and downstairs.
I lay on the couch resting my feet. He grabs my blanket and cover me with it. "Thanks again and never bring up Jacob in my house ever again." I say to him. "That was Embry. I don't bring him up." I nod my head turning on my side and he hands me the remote. I turn to cartoons and fall asleep a couple of minutes later.
I woke up to homemade tacos that Dr. Roberts made for us. The room painted. All of the windows was opened in the house to let the paint smell air out. I haven't seen the room yet. So, the door is closed till the smell is gone. I thanked them so much because I haven't had much help since I got pregnant. Damn not from no Jacob. I haven't talked to him after he gave me that empty present and thought it was the crap.
All of his clothes that he left are in the trash can. Anything of his is gone. I don't play that crap. I cheated on him. He cheated with Bella on Christmas Day and thought he hit the jackpot. Everybody looks at me. Quil looks at Embry. Oh, I forgot that we're eating dinner. "He feels sorry, Lacie." "Embry, shut up. No one is thinking about Jacob's feelings because he nor Bella was thinking about mine nor Sarah's. So, stop trying to savor his life and worry about your own. You been doing nothing but taking his side since day one."
"You cheated on him." Quil shake his head as Dr. Roberts looks at Mr. Howard. "How? We was not dating or anything. I am not explaining myself to you because it's not your life and all you can do is justify his actions. If it was your sister, you'll be mad as hell. So, don't save him. He been doing it for months treating me like crap and I turned to the guy who was there as my friend and to support me. So, stop it." I say.
"You had sex while pregnant with his child." "Is it? He asked me if Sarah was here. Shut up." I say. It get quiet in the living room. They look at Embry. "Lacie, don't need stress." Dr. Roberts say. "Now, at all but he's not a woman nor pregnant to understand anything. All he sees is that Jacob was in the right for sleep with the girl who he was going around loving and my so called friend. You can leave with that attitude or shut the hell up." I say to Embry.
"He'll shut up, Lacie." Quil say. I just shake my head crossing my arms. It silent as I wait for Embry to speak again. "You don't think you broke his heart?" He asks. Quil scoffs. I turn to Embry. "Lacie, don't answer that." Dr. Roberts say. "And, I am not. This man been running behind Bella with his tail between his legs for months. She was my so called friend and did not care worth crap. Embry, I don't know what your problem is but you should be happy that he ruined it. I am never getting back with that little boy like him. My Sarah comes first and they can have each other. You should be happy. It's no future for me nor Jacob anymore." I say.
They all look at him. "Had to ask it." "And, I understand. You tell Jacob that it's like sleeping with his best friend. She was my friend and I went to hell for her. That bitch didn't care she had Edward, Paul, and Jacob. She can have him because I'll never want him again in my life. She can be his Alpha wife and Chief wife. He is all not all of that and I would've known he was that nasty. I never would've had a child with him. Tell him that. It is over." I say.
He just nod. "Thank you. I know that's what he's asking for. He ruined it. I see that bitch again and I will be whipping her ass pregnant or not." I say. "Okay, Lacie." Dr. Roberts say. "I'm just saying. You don't justify his actions when he been chasing Bella for months, treating me like crap, and said it in my face." I say pushing my plate up. I can't even eat no more.
"You slept-" "He chased. We would not be in this situation if he did not push me towards someone else. Tell him to accept his responsibilities of his actions and not stop being a little child. It's been almost a month since speaking to Jacob or seeing him. He is not a child and he knew what he was doing left and right. So, leave it alone. My blood pressure is up." I say.
"You did not sleep with Paul?" Quil asks me. "Where did that come from?" "Your house always smelt of Paul." He say catching my attention. "So, now. It all comes out." "He think you slept with Paul then you're hanging around him." He say. I think for a minute. They all look at me. "I asked a long time ago who trashed my house." "Lacie." "No, Dr. Roberts. I love this man to the core and for him to run around being Bella and not think twice to talk to me about it." I say and calm down.
"He think you slept with Paul then he in turn slept with Bella." "Don't make no crappy excuse because he had the chance to sit down and talk to me as a person. He opens his mouth and talk to you and the rest of your pack so especially and he could not talk to me about me so called sleeping with Paul. I don't have time for that save it because what's done is done."
"So, you did sleep with him?" "No, I did not. I never slept with Paul in my life. Why would he think that?" I ask them. "Because you always smelt like Paul." "Nurse Miller smelt like Paul." I say to them. He looks at Quil. He just shake his head."What does she has to do with it?" Dr. Roberts asks me. "It's whatever." I say shaking my head. I can't believe he did that because he thought I slept with Paul.
"It's not whatever." "It is whatever and for her to be at Paul's house. The looks that she gave me during school. Her confronting me in my house. Jacob trashing my house. I am good. Tell Jacob that I am not here for him and he made whatever decision that he made. You can't sit around talking about it. He slept with my friend." "Because he thought you slept with her boyfriend." Quil say.
"Quil, he had a chance to talk to me about it and I would've explained anything to him. It's over. I don't even talk to Paul like that but it is okay." "You visited him." "He slept with Bella." "You don't have to explain anything to them." "I don't, Dr. Roberts. They're his best friends and cousin. You'll stick up for your friend even when they do wrong. He did what he did. I did what I did meaning not having sex with Paul. Is it over and done?" I ask Quil.
Embry looks at him. "A girl?" "A boy!" I yell grinning hard. "I got green paint because it's a boy and not a girl. Her name is Kenta." "Lacie." "We have to ask for him, Lacie. You always at Paul's house." "Because she confronted me about Neil then came to my house talking about Paul. I had to the doctor's the next day because of that nasty lady. She been doing nothing but plotting and stalking left and right. Go ask him about that lady." I yell getting an attitude.
Dr. Roberts looks in my face. "Yeah, Dr. Roberts." "Nurse Miller." "I don't care. He made the choice to do what he felt was right and not talking to me about it. How he got that from all that we been through is a big fake out for him to go ahead and aim at Bella. So, don't come with that. He already did what he wanted to do and crushed my heart thinking that I'll sleep with Paul. It is over." I say going into Dr. Roberts arms.
He wrap his arms around me. "I am not going to cry because he is not worth it. I'm just mad that you boys got me upset over it. It's been almost a month and it's over. My life is not going to stop for Jacob. He was quick or he already been doing with Bella. Get up and get out my house." I say to them. They get up and leave out my house leaving me along with Mr. Howard and Dr. Roberts.
"How you feel?" He asks. "My pressure went down." "Friends or not, they have no right to question you." "Unless, they believe it. I am here for my son or daughter and not them. I live for her and not them. It's been months. Don't bring up the past." I say shaking my head. "Kenta?" "It's his name now. A boy or girl. I believe a boy. I'm over it." I say resting my head on his shoulder. Assholes.
I'm laying in bed on Mr. Howard's bare chest while he's looking up at the ceiling. "It's just sad that they all dropped me because they thought I was sleeping with Paul." "Was you?" "No, I don't even deal with Paul that way and he jumped to the conclusion. Jacob probably trashed my house. Sam told me that I was not welcome and thinking that I'm carrying Paul's daughter." I say shaking my head and tracing his chest.
"I don't know what to say, Ms. Thorne." He say still looking at the ceiling. "It's no exact proof that I'm having a girl. Dr. Roberts never gave me the ultrasound revealing it and we just assumed that it was a girl but you don't go around trying to make it seem like Jacob had a right. It's over and done. It's been over for months and they still bring up that I cheated on him with Paul of all people. He's a manwhore."
"A manwhore?" "Yeah, he bar hops to different bars and pick up girls to sleep with them. I don't deal with him because he's a cold angry guy and he was dating Bella. She didn't want him." "So, you came in?" "No, I don't talk to Paul like that and plus she had her own problems going on in her life with her ex-boyfriend coming back and some lady being after her."
"Nurse Miller?" "No, one of Paul's hook ups." I say looking at my alarm clock. 9:34 pm. I forgot it's a Saturday. I was going to ask if he had school tomorrow. "So, what you doing tomorrow?" "I'm doing nothing, Ms. Thorne." I nod. "It's the guys are coming back tomorrow and if you wanted to come too that you can. The room isn't exactly done and I do believe it's a boy be it Sarah or not. I love my baby anyway." "You're supposed too." "And, I do." I say going back to playing on his chest.
"You said Nurse Miller was sleeping with Paul." He say bringing her up. God, I can't stand that woman. "Yeah, his name was Neil to her but he's known as Paul to his friends and family. They met at Red's Wild Bar. They meet up every other Friday even though she knows where he lives at." "You said that she confronted you?" "Yeah, I guess she thought that I was sleeping with him because I hung out at his house one time but he's Sarah's uncle along with Embry and Quil who is the two god fathers." I say.
"What did she say?" "She accused me of sleeping with you which I denied and I think she claimed Paul or something. I don't know but she sent my blood pressure sky rocketing that night then I was mad and pushed Dr. Roberts the next day. He's a nice guy." I say and kiss on his chest. "I have to go." He say sitting up. I get off his chest and turn on my side while he put on his clothes. I guess he didn't like that.
I hear him putting on his clothes. "Don't forget about tomorrow." I say seeing him putting on his belt. "I'll think about it." He say grabbing his shoes and leaving out of the bedroom. I sigh rubbing on my head and getting up putting on my old lady night gown and bedroom slippers. I hear the front door closing and I walk out of the bedroom and into Paul's living room.
He's sitting at the kitchen counter and he drops his spoon in his bowl. "What do you want, Lacie?" He asks. "Oh, calm down." I say and walk towards the front door and opening it up just as Nurse Miller is about to knock. "Oh, Lacie. What you doing here?" She asks looking past me and at Paul. She is so fake. "Just chilling with Sarah's Uncle." "Uncle?" She asks confused. Faker.
"Yeah, he's Jacob's big brother. Well, not blood related but close friends enough to make him her uncle." I say looking at Paul who's sitting down. "Oh, do I leave or come in?" She asks him. I look at Paul waiting on his answer. "You can come in." He say. "Excuse me." She say walking past me and into the house. I shake my head and just looking at her walking into the bedroom and closing the door while giving me a sneaky smile.
I close door and Paul watches me walking towards his closet and I knock his bowl of cereal off the kitchen counter before going in and walking out of Sarah's closet. I cover my nose from the paint smell and walk out of the bedroom were I walk almost into Mr. Howard. I thought he left. "Where did you go?" He asks me. I hold my chest trying to calm my heart. "I was in Sarah's room." "I just checked in there, Ms. Thorne." He say.
"I was in the there and I thought you left." I say walking past him and into my bedroom. "I did leave but I forgot my keys." He say following behind me. I sit on the bed while he watches me. I grin hard at his face. "Where did you go?" "I went in the bathroom." I say taking off my slippers and getting under the covers. "No, you did not. I checked around the whole house." He say. I just nod laying back in the bed.
I'm going to have to get me a TV. It's just a open space of wall. Mr. Howard just stand there looking at me like I'm crazy. "Where did you go?" "You went in the bathroom. I came out. Do you it matter, Mr. Howard?" I laugh out looking at the nightstand to see if he got his keys. He did. "It does because you was nowhere to be found." He say grinning making me laugh harder. He stops grinning. "Are you getting in the bed or are you leaving?" I seriously asks him. He stands there for a couple of minutes before taking off his coat. I smile.
Since Embry and Quil been here helping me paint Sarah's room, it's been quiet. They haven't said no word to me. I guess they're still mad about Jacob. I can't believe they'll think that I'm sleeping with Paul. I'm not going to entertain that at all. I hold another green paint sample up that Dr. Roberts grab for me up against the wall. It's a lighter then Mr. Howard's one.
Those two green colors did not match and they thought it was too dark for Sarah's room. So, they went back to the store. They are truly angels for me. I sigh getting up when I hear a car door closing followed by another one. I walk towards the window and look out to see them walking up towards my house with paint cans. They brought me more paint.
"It's unlocked." I say sticking my head out and back in. The front door opens up and Quil throw his paint brush on the floor while looking at Embry. He looks at me. "What?" I ask walking past them and into the hallway were Dr. Roberts and Mr. Howard is walking up the stairs. "How you doing, Lacie?" Dr. Robert asks me as Mr. Howard stares in my face.
"I been doing good. I can't believe about the green paint though." I say walking back into the room to see Embry and Quil trading looks before looking at the doorway. I shake my head wondering what they're up too. Dr. Robert walks in first. "Where Mr. Howard go?" I ask not seeing him walking in. "He went to throw something away in the bathroom." He say setting the can down.
I nod my head looking at the light green paint spot on top of the can. "That's real light. Is it too much?" "It'll do right if it's a girl or boy, Lacie." "Okay, I don't want you to be wasting your money on paint but you're the doctor with eyes for details." I say staring into his blue eyes. "Thank you, Lacie." He say making me laugh. "What?" "Nothing." I say scratching my head and Mr. Howard walks in looking around.
"It's turning out nice." He say. I nod my head agreeing. "Lacie, can I talk to you?" Embry asks. Quil looks at me. "Sure, excuse us." I say walking past Mr. Howard and leaving out of the room with Embry and Quil following behind me. "Outside." He say when I stop in the hallway. I nod walking down the stairs and grabbing my blanket off the couch while they walk out of the back door. I wrap myself up and walk outside and closing the door behind me.
"What's going on guys?" I ask them. "You had sex with Mr. Howard?" Quil asks. "Yeah, I thought you all knew that and that was the reason you all was going around being on Jacob's team." "Did you sleep with Paul?" "No, I did not. Stop talking about Paul. I already got a problem with him and the lady that he's seeing." "Because it's not you." "Because she brought that crap to my house. I am not going in and out with you. At the end of the day, Jacob did his deed instead of talking. It's over and done. Come in and help me finish setting up Sarah's room." I say.
"No." Embry say. Quil shake his head. I nod looking at him running into the forest. "You too, Quil?" I ask him. "Lacie, what's going on with you and Paul?" "I told you. The smell that's on me comes from his house. Stop asking me questions because it's over and done. My two friends had sex. Jacob had sex wtih the girl who I did not trust around him and broke up our relationship. So, save it." I say and walk back into the house leaving him outside. I look back out to see him gone.
I shake my head and just head upstairs and into Sarah's room. They look at me. "The boys at?" "Going home still trying to justify Jacob's actions. I'm done with it." I say taking off the blanket and tossing it in my bedroom. "Well, you can't be here because of the smell." "Right, Dr. Roberts." I say and just walk into my bedroom leaving them alone. I lay on the bed and turn over hearing a howl in the distant. Jacob, shut the hell up.
