Artemis POV:
When Embry got into the truck he was silent. The rest of the car ride he stayed quiet and I was grateful. It gave me some time to think about what his mom said.
I was in love with Embry Call. I had been since I looked him in the eyes that day in Chemistry. The feeling I get when I'm around him is incredible. I was in love with this beautiful man sitting next to me.
But I couldn't tell him. We've only been together for a few weeks. He probably isn't in love with me. And he definitely won't when he learns about the pregnancy. He will probably hate me or go running for the hills.
When we pull into the driveway of Sam and Emily's, Embry turns off the car and instead of getting out, turns and looks at me. He gives me that look where his whole face softens.
"What?" I ask getting fidgety under his gaze.
"Nothing just looking at your beauty," he says easily and I blush. He takes my face in his hands and gently kisses me on the lips. He pulls away and puts his forehead on mine," I-I love you, Artemis."
Did he just say he loves me? I'm…I'm speechless. What do I say? That you love him too stupid, my heart screams.
"I love you too, Embry," I say and he smiles, and then kisses me passionately.
He pulls away and has a huge grin on his face and I can't help but smile back. Embry takes my hand and gently pulls me out of the truck with him. About 10 feet from the house I can hear laughter coming from inside.
I start getting shy and cowered into Embry's side," It's okay, it's just the guys," Embry whispers.
We walk into the house and the house is filled with big, muscular guys. I recognize some from school like Brady, Collin, Seth, Jacob and Quil. Also in the room were Sam and Emily. About five other guys all the same as the others except in the face. They only looked about 10-12 years old. There was lastly a girl in the corner with a glare on her face.
When Embry and I walk in her glare turns to me. Ouch.
"Hey Embry, who's your friend?" one of the younger boys asks.
"This is Artemis, my girlfriend," he says, putting emphasis on the girlfriend part," Artemis you know Brady, Collin, Seth, Jacob and Quil. Over there is Zeke, Zane, Pierce, Damon and Harley. There in the corner is Leah," so Leah is the glarer," And Jared, Paul, Payton and Ace are out, you will meet them later," Everyone in the room gives me a hey or a wave, minus Leah, and I smile and wave shyly.
"Are you guy's hungry?" Emily asks and I shake my head no but Embry nods.
"You go ahead and eat, I'm going to check on my mom," I whisper to him.
"Are you sure?" I nod." Okay, I'll come up when I'm done."
I head upstairs up to my mom's room and find her sitting up reading. When I come in, she looks up from her book to me and smiles," Hey Honey."
"Hey mom, how are you feeling?" I ask.
"I'm fine. I'm ready to go home, Doug will be so mad," she says.
"Mom, I told you this morning, he's not coming back. He left. Please mom, understand, he left us," I try to tell her again.
"No, he wouldn-"
"He. Left. Us. Mom, he never loved us. You," I try to tell her but she starts to cry again and so I pull her into me. I calm her down and she goes back to her book. I leave her to read not wanting to upset her again.
I don't want to go back downstairs with that many guys down there. Besides Embry, Brady, and kind of Sam, I'm not comfortable being around guys. The make me jumpy and fidgety.
I decide to go back into the room I woke up in and wait for Embry to come up. I lay on the bed tired from the crazy day I had. And it's only going to get crazier, my head says, reminding me of the life growing inside of me. I rub my stomach smiling.
About 10 minutes later, Embry comes in," What are you smiling about?" he asks coming and lying next to me.
"Nothing, just thinking about you," I say simply.
"Oh really?" he says rolling over on his side, holding his head up with his hand, with his other hand he wraps it around my waist. He gently kisses my lips and pulls away," How's your mom doing?"
"Still in denial. I don't know what I'm going to do with her. What if she never comes around?" I tell him.
"She will, she just needs time to accept that the man she loves doesn't love her," he says. Embry always knows what to say.
"Your right, but what am I going to do until she comes around?" I ask.
"Stay here, Emily is fine with you two here and everyone here will protect you if that bastard ever tries to hurt you again," he says," especially me. He will never hurt you again."
"I believe that you won't let him hurt me and until my mom gets better, I'll stay here," I say.
"So why didn't you come back downstairs after you saw your mom?" he asks.
"Um, it's just I don't feel comfortable around guys I don't really know. You, Brady, and Sam are okay but the others make me nervous and fidgety. I just don't like being around all of them," I try to explain.
"I understand. The experience with your step-dad made you like this. But until you're comfortable with them I'll keep it limited. I do hope one day you will get comfortable with them because they are my brothers, my family," he says.
"Me too. I don't want him to influence my life anymore and I want to know you family but for now I want to take it slow, slowly get use to them all," I tell Embry.
"We have all the time in the world," he says before kissing me. Embry pulls away and glances at the clock. Its 10p.m.
"We better get to sleep so we can make it to your appointment on time tomorrow," he says.
"Okay, I love you Embry," I say reaching up to kiss him.
"I love hearing that. I love you too, Artemis. Goodnight," he says wrapping me in his arms. I soon fall asleep enjoying being in Embry's arms, knowing this might be the last time after tomorrow's appointment.
