She then let go of her sister and hugged Emmett, "Congratulations, I'm so happy for you both!"
Emmett hugged Leah back, "Thank you, Leah, that means so much to us."
Percy hugged his sister, "Congratulations, again, Sel, I'm happy for you. I promise I won't let anything happen to my little nephew or niece."
"Thank you, Perce, that means so much to me."
Percy smiled then shook, Emmett's hand, "Be good to my sister, Emmett."
"You know it, Percy. I'll do whatever it takes to protect my family."
After Percy stepped aside, Alice came towards Selene and hugged her and squealed, "There's going to be a baby in the house! I can't wait!" Alice gasped, "There are so many things we have to buy to get ready for the baby, Selene, and only nine months to do it in!" Alice exclaimed.
Jasper was next to congratulated the happy couple, then Carlisle and Esme, they all said how happy they were for Selene and Emmett. Rosalie sat on the couch with her head on Paul's shoulder. The one thing she had always wanted and Emmett was going to get it. Rosalie couldn't help but feel happy and jealous of Emmett and Selene. She took a deep breath and stood up, "Congratulations, Selene, I know you'll make a wonderful mother," Rosalie said and hugged Selene quickly.
Then she moved on to Emmett, "Congratulations, Em. I'm truly happy for you; I'm sure you'll make a great dad."
"You think so, Rose?"
"I know so, Em."
"Thank you, Rosalie."
"You're welcome, Emmett."
With that, Rosalie and Paul left the house so that Rosalie could grieve in peace. Selene and Emmett looked at each other, feeling guilty that they had something that Rosalie had wanted her entire life but could never have. And at that moment, Selene vowed to ask Hera if she would consider blessing Rosalie with a baby. Selene had no intention of telling Rosalie, because who knows if Hera would do it?
Selene was pulled out of her thoughts by Leah, "What did you say, Leah?"
"I said, when are you going to tell Mom?" Leah asked.
"Tomorrow, I'm kind of tired."
The minute those words were out of Selene's mouth, Emmett swept her up into his arms and was moving towards their bedroom, "Emmett, put me down, I can walk just fine," Selene told him.
"Nope, I don't want to take any chances of your passing out," Emmett tells his mate.
"I have to get Percy settled in!"
Emmett put Selene down on the bed, "I'll do it, Babe, don't worry. I'll take care of everything," Emmett said and leaning down and kissing Selene.
Emmett turned and walked out of the room and goes back upstairs, "Sorry, guys," Emmett told everyone.
Leah rolled her eyes, "Emmett, Selene is not an invalid; she's only pregnant."
"I know, but I want to take care of her."
Carlisle walked up to Emmett and put his hand on Emmett's shoulder, "We understand, Son. Only don't go overboard."
"I'll try not to. So, Percy, let me show you to your room."
"And while you do that, I'll get dinner started," Esme said, "Percy, would you like a snack before dinner?"
"No, thank you, Esme. I'd like to take a little nap too. I think the jet lag is catching up with me."
"Alright, I'll let you and Selene know when dinner is ready," Esme told him.
After that Emmett showed Percy to his room and got him settled, Percy went and took a shower then laid down to take a nap. If he slept for the rest of the day, that would be great with him. Once Emmett got Percy settled, Emmett went back to his room to check on Selene. Emmett opened the door as quietly as he could and saw that Selene had changed into one of his shirts and was curled up on the bed asleep. Emmett stripped down to his boxers and carefully lifted Selene, then placed her under the covers and then laid down behind her.
Selene's eyes slowly opened when she felt Emmett's arms wrap around her. She rolled over and threw her leg over his hip and snuggled into his chest and sighed, "I missed you, Teddy Bear."
"I missed you too, Baby."
Selene sighed, breathing in Emmett's scent. She closed her eyes and relaxed as Emmett rubbed her back soothingly. While Selene slept, Emmett thought about how he was going to be a father. Emmett was so excited and scared at the same time. Emmett didn't know if he would make a good father, but he knew that Selene would make an incredible mother. Selene had a great example in her mother, Sue, and Emmett could already tell by the way Selene treated her brothers and sister that she would make an excellent mother. The more Emmett thought of his little one, the more excited he became; he couldn't wait to welcome his baby into the world.
An hour later, Alice came downstairs to tell Emmett that dinner was ready. He gently woke up Selene and said to her that dinner was ready. Selene yawned and sat up, "How long was I asleep?"
"Only an hour."
"It felt longer."
"How do you feel?"
"Good, a little tired, very hungry," Selene said with a laugh, "This baby has increased my appetite."
"Well, then, let's get you something to eat," Emmett said.
He quickly got dressed and helped his little mate out of bed and get dressed as well. Selene and Emmett made their way upstairs, where Leah and Percy were waiting for them in the dining room. Jasper was sitting across from Percy, telling him about his time in the Confederate Army. Selene came in and sat down on the other side of Percy. Esme brought out the roast chicken with glazed carrots, scalloped potatoes, roasted tomatoes and mushrooms, and corn on the cob.
"I hope you like it," Esme said.
"It smells wonderful, Esme," Selene told her.
Emmett carved the chicken and gave some breast meat and a drumstick to Selene and then serves the others. Selene dished out the sides to her brother and sister, and they began to eat their meal. They complimented Esme on how good the food was. After dinner and dessert, Emmett suggested they watch a movie, but Percy and Selene were too tired. For them, it was very late, and they needed to get some sleep. Emmett and Selene went downstairs to their room, Where Selene changed into one of Emmett's shirts and got into bed. Emmett got in bed with Selene, he wrapped his arms around her and Selene snuggled into his chest then fell asleep.
The next day, Selene rushed to the bathroom; she barely made it in time to the toilet and emptied her stomach. Emmett was instantly there with her, holding her hair back and rubbing soothing circles on her back, "Are you alright, Babe?" Emmett asked as he hands Selene a glass of water.
Selene rinses out her mouth then sat down next to the toilet, "I'm fine, Emmett, I only have a little morning sickness."
Emmett frowned, "Are you sure you're alright," Emmett asked as he sat down next to his mate.
"Yeah, don't worry."
"Of course, I'm going to worry, Sel. You're my mate and are pregnant with my child."
Selene cupped Emmett's face, then leaned against his shoulder. They sat there for a bit until Selene felt better. Once she felt better, Emmett helped her up, and Selene brushed her teeth. After brushing her teeth, Emmett led Selene back to bed. He kissed her head, then went upstairs to get her some breakfast.
Emmett walked into the kitchen with a worried look on his face. Carlisle, who was sitting at the kitchen table reading the newspaper, looked at his son, "Is there something the matter, son?"
"Selene isn't feeling well this morning; she threw up."
"That's normal, Emmett. That's going to go on for a few weeks until her hormones balance out," Carlisle tells his son.
"What can I do to help her, Carlisle?"
"Well, we can start by giving her a light breakfast this morning to settle her stomach. Maybe some dry toast and some fruit and juice."
"That's it? Shouldn't she be eating more?"
"When her stomach settles, I'm sure she'll want more to eat, Emmett, don't worry."
Emmett sighed, "Okay."
"I'll get Selene's breakfast ready, Emmett, you don't have to worry about a thing," Esme said.
"Thank you, Mom," Emmett said then kissed Esme's cheek.
Once Esme had Selene's breakfast ready, she put everything on a tray, and Emmett took it downstairs to his mate. When he walked into their room, Emmett found Leah and Percy sitting on the bed, talking to Selene. They were asking her how she was feeling and if there was anything they could do to help.
"No, you guys, I'm fine, this is part of being pregnant. I'm sure I'll feel better in a little while. Then we can go to La Push and tell Mom."
"Okay, then we'll let you have your breakfast in peace," Percy said.
Leah and Percy left the room, Leah smiled at Emmett as they passed and Percy patted him on the shoulder. Emmett kicked the door shut with his foot then walked over to Selene and put the tray of food on Selene's lap, "Here you go, Babe, Carlisle said that you need something light for breakfast. But if this isn't enough, tell me, and I'll get you more."
"Thank you, Baby, this is perfect. I don't think I could eat anything more right now."
Selene put the napkin on her lap and began eating her toast; Emmett took a seat next to her. Selene immediately felt her stomach start to settle as she ate her toast. Selene took a drink of her orange juice and sighed, that hit the spot. Then she began to eat the fruit that Esme had chopped up for her. Once she finished her satisfying breakfast, Emmett took the tray upstairs, and then he and Selene took a shower together.
After their shower, the couple got dressed and went upstairs where Leah and Percy were waiting for them, "Okay, you guys are you ready to head out to La Push?"
"Yeah, we're ready," Leah said.
Selene grabbed her present for her mom, and they headed towards the garage to take Selene's Land Rover to the reservation. They all got in and headed out; an hour later, Emmett pulled up to the Clearwater house. Emmett helped Selene out of the SUV, and they went to the door. Selene used her key to open the door, "Mom, Seth, are you home?"
They heard a stampede of footsteps as Seth came running downstairs, "Selene! What are you doing here? When did you get back?"
"Sethy," Selene said as her younger brother collided with her, and she hugged him tightly, "I brought you and Mom presents, and I wanted you to meet Percy."
"Percy came back with you, Cool," Seth said.
Percy stepped forward and smiled at Seth, "Hi, Seth, I'm Percy Jackson."
Seth's eyes widen at the sight of Percy. He had heard everything that Percy had done and was in awe of him. Seth stepped forward and took Percy's offered hand, "It's nice to meet you, Percy, Selene has told me all about you."
"She's told me about you too, can you turn into a wolf?"
Seth beamed at his sister, "Yeah, I can, would you like to see?"
Percy looked at his sister for permission, "In a minute, Perce, I want you to meet my mom."
Percy nodded, "Seth, where's Mom?"
"I'm right here, Selene," Sue said as she came out of the kitchen.
Sue came up to Selene, she hugged her oldest daughter and kissed her cheek then hugged Leah then Emmett, "What brings you by?"
"I have some gifts for you and Seth," Selene told her mother.
She hands Seth his present, and he rips it open. It was the newest Playstation with the latest games. Seth's eyes widen, and he hugged his older sister, "Thank you so much, Sel, I love it!"
"You're welcome, Sethy. Mom, here's your present."
"Oh, Selene, you didn't have to get me anything."
"I know, but I wanted to, I think you'll like it."
Sue opened the box and took out the T-shirts that were in the box. She read the T-shirts. They read, Glamma, Glamours Grandma, Hello, Grandma, See You Soon, First Time Grandmother, Pop the champagne, Grandma Is My New Name.
Sue looked up at Selene, who was smiling at her mother, "You're pregnant?"
"Yes."
Sue suddenly screamed and hugged her daughter, "I'M GOING TO BE A GRANDMA! Oh Selene congratulations, I'm so happy for you and Emmett!"
"Thank you, Mom," Selene said as she and she and Sue cried.
Sue reached out and grabbed Emmett, and Emmett let her pull him into a group hug, "Congratulations, Emmett, I'm so happy for you!"
"Thank you, Sue."
Seth stared at Selene and Emmett, "Are you serious? I'm going to be an uncle? That is so cool!" Seth said then hugged his sister and Emmett. "You're going to make a great dad, Emmett," Seth said.
If Emmett could have blushed, he would have, "Thank you, Seth."
"And I know you're going to be a great mom, Sel."
"You think so, Sethy."
"Yeah, you're the best big sister in the world."
Leah smacked Seth in the back of the head, "What about me?!"
"You're okay," Seth said with a laugh, then dodged as Leah tried to slap him again, "Come on, Percy, let's go play some games then I'll show you my wolf after lunch."
"Okay, Seth," Percy said. The boys ran upstairs to hook up Seth's new Playstation so that they could play Elder Scroll.
"I'm going to go upstairs and help them hook up the Playstation," Emmett said, then he kissed Selene.
Sue smiled, "Come on girls, let's go into the kitchen and talk, then we'll make lunch for the boys," Sue said.
Selene and Leah followed Sue into the kitchen to have some tea and make plans for when the baby arrived.
