Okay everyone I want to thank you for reviewing, for some reason I'm starting to get a nervous feeling about my chapters. Like they are getting worse or something I don't know what it is . Anyways I hope that you enjoy the chapter, I was a little bit unsure whether to restart this chapter or put it up the way it was. I hope that you enjoy, please. Review.
The wolf, Embry, stood there shocked for what seemed like hours but was only meir seconds. The look in his eyes were more intense then ever before, I could see the love in his eyes. "I'm sorry..." I said with my eyes widened.
I had completely confused myself, I felt a sudden rush after the words had come out of my mouth. Like I wasn't supposed to say them, or I was rushing into things. Maybe that's what I was doing and he was never going to talk to me again. I guess I just fucked up again, huh?
I shook my head as I watched him walk into the dark of the trees. I felt my body fall to the ground, I sat there for a moment.
He came back out, he was human but I could still see the exact same look in his eyes. I held my breath when I watched him approach me. He lifted me up easily, I felt his arms wrap around my waist and pull me into him. I snaked my arms around his neck, leaning my head on his shoulder trying to breath normal. "I love you too." He told me.
"What are something I need to know about... this condition?" I questioned my choice of words after I said them.
"It's not a condition, it's in my blood. The people in my family were wolves too, it's a Quileute blood trait." I made an O shape with my mouth and urged him to go one. "All the guys are wolves too which explains my high temperature and how I can eat so much."
"I remember when I was at your house you couldn't stop eating." I smiled at the memory in my mind. He smiled back down at me, "Yeah, and there is a thing called imprinting."
He told me, I waited. "Which is?"
"It's like love at first sight." He paused to see my reaction, I furrowed my brow waiting for him to continue. "But it's stronger than love at first sight, it's finding your soul mate."
"You're trying to tell me that you imprinted on me?" I asked him, I could feel tears welding up in my eyes at the thoughts I was thinking.
"Yes." He smiled, he thought that I was thinking something good I bet. "So you are entitled to be with me?"
"It's your choice whatever you want us to be we will be it. Erin, I just want you to be happy, and the impression you've been giving me is that you like me right?" He stared at me hopefully.
"So you wouldn't have noticed me if you didn't imprint on me." I spat.
"I would have noticed you!" Embry exclaimed, squeezing my hands in his own.
I didn't speak for a moment. "Embry, I say this for the both of us. Just go and meet someone new, so you can fall in love the real way."
"Erin, it's too late. I love you already, if the imprint were to wear off I would still love you because over the time I have spent with you I fell in love. I love you, I really do."
"I don't know what to say." I paused, I really didn't know what to say to him.
It was too late for me too because I knew how I felt about him. I now knew that I wanted nothing more than to just be with him. I jumped at him and sobbed into his shoulder, crying harder than I ever have in such a long time.
He just held me as I bawled into his shoulder. He was telling me that everything was going to be okay and that nothing bad was ever going to happen to me. "Also, you know that Cullens at your new school."
"I don't like Edward." I wipped my eyes which were red from crying so hard. Embry laughed slightly. "Well they're vampires."
I laughed, "Oh you were serious... what's with all these mythical creatures... where the fuck are the unicorns?" I asked him.
Embry smiled at me, pecking me on the lips. "I was glad to get that off my chest."
I was silent. "This is awkward... I can't tell anyone right?"
"Nope, our little secret."
"Oh fun... does Jacob, Paul, and Quil know."
"They all know, I also forgot to mention that we can hear each others thoughts when we are in wolf form."
"That's... fun?" I lifted my eyebrow and he shook his head. "Not very exciting, nothing is private."
"Nothing...?" I asked with wide eyes, "As in they have seen everything that runs in your mind?"
"I'm sorry Erin, I can't help it." Embry sighed, I knew that it wasn't his fault.
I sighed deeply. "Who knew that you tell someone a secret when they don't tell anyone, it still some how gets out."
"They aren't going to tell anyone so you don't have to worry about it." Embry looked at me with a hopeful look.
I rolled my eyes, "What am I going to do with you? Honestly." I hugged him tightly.
I felt his lips press against my forehead. I moved looking into his eyes. I got on my tiptoes and pushed my lips onto his as we began to kiss in a slow passionate motion. His one hand was caressing my bare back, I bit down on his lip because I knew that he liked it.
He smiled, "I should get you home."
I nodded, "My friend, Keisha, is staying with me for a while." I told him, watching for his reactions.
"Who is she? We heard you talking to her on the phone about a kid." Embry asked, referring to 'we' as in the 'pack'.
"I used to live with her back on the streets, she wants me to be the god mother of her unborn fetus." I told him as we walked back towards my house.
"Would that make me the godfather?" Embry asked, "Since I am your boyfriend."
My heart beat skipped a count when I heard him say that. I blushed looking at my feet drag across the ground because I barely lifted them off the dirt. "I guess so."
He kissed my temple. "You're cute." He laughed, he hugged my goodbye when we got to my door.
I walked into the house, Carrie and Dan were both home. "Where were you?" Carrie asked.
"Embry had to tell me something outside." I muttered.
"What?" Dan asked
"I don't want to talk about it." I shrugged, "Is Jensen home now?" I asked remembering I hadn't gotten him from Emily's house tonight.
"Yeah, he's upstairs sleeping."
"Okay." I nodded walking out of the kitchen upstairs to my bedroom where Keisha was looking at a book.
"What's that?" I asked her. "Lucy, remember the old lady that smoked like a chimney, well she gave me this book."
I noticed it was a pregnancy book, "I never had the time to really read it."
"How did she know you were pregnant?" I asked.
"It was after I called you." She told me, I nodded my head.
After I was changed into pajama's it was time for me to hit the hay. Keisha must have agreed because as I turned off the lamp on my side she copied and we both fell asleep once our head hit the pillow. I dreamed of nothing that night, just blackness. It was pretty peaceful until I was woken up by the sound of puking in my bathroom.
I looked up to see Keisha over the toilet. I got out of bed slowly and held her hair so she wouldn't puke on it. I flushed the toilet for her, and opened a new tooth brush that I conveniently had randomly for when my tooth brush was bad.
"Thanks." She muttered taking the tooth brush with tooth paste on it and plopped it into her mouth.
"No problem." I told her as I started brushing my teeth. After I was finished I picked out some clothes for her and me. "Wow... you are fat." I laughed at her.
She flipped my off, looking at the tight shirt I gave her. "I feel so clean!" She commented.
"Isn't it weird?" I asked her, rather than asking her if she thought it was great. She just nodded her head. I did the normal routine took Jensen to Emily's, of course Embry was there so I kissed him goodbye then when Dan drove away from Keisha and me we began walking off school grounds.
"Where are you going?" I cocked my head to the side to see Maria walking by.
I hadn't even noticed her, "Oh, hey. I'm going to the doctor's with my friend." I told him, "Maria, this is Keisha."
Maria nodded a greeting at her, "She pregnant?" She asked just looking at Keisha's stomach, "Is it really that noticeable?" Keisha asked worriedly putting her hand on her stomach.
Maria nodded her head, "I don't really feel like going to class, mind if I tag along?" Maria asked Keisha, rather than me since it was her getting the ultrasound.
"I don't care." Keisha shrugged her shoulders staring at her.
We all started walking to hospital where Keisha could get her stomach checked out. We walked in and they both sat down as I went to the front desk. "We don't have an appointment or anything, but we were wondering if we could get fit in or something."
"What does she need?" The woman asked, her red hair up in a tight bun and her glasses perched on the tip of her nose. "Ultrasound."
She gave an annoyed groan. "Is there a problem?" I asked her, lifting my eyebrow.
She wasn't the only one that could be a bitch. "Pardon me?" She asked, giving me a look a mother would give their child while scolding him.
"You heard me, is there a problem what the hell was that groan all about?" I asked trying to keep my anger down, but she had no right to be pissed off suddenly.
"It's just... I get a lot of young girls pregnant in here. I hate seeing them throw their life away, okay?" She still had an angry look on her face.
"It's none of your business okay?" I told her, my harsh eyes burning threw her.
"I'll call you up when we're ready, ms...?"
"Keisha Thomas, her name." I said
"Health card number?"
"We don't have it." I glanced at Keisha, she would have given it to me if she did have it. "Okay."
She said, I walked back over to where they were sitting. I sat next to Maria, "How's... life?" I asked her not knowing what else to say.
"Boring, you know." Maria shrugged her shoulders, "I spent most of my day at the library." She told me.
"Yeah, I used to go there a lot." I glanced at Keisha, "I partied a lot." Keisha muttered.
"How old are you?" Maria asked, waiting for her answer.
"I'm eighteen." She sighed, "I never finished school, I dropped out and left home. So I've been living by myself for a while." Keisha shrugged.
"Is she from the streets too?" Maria whispered to me.
"Yeah."
"Maria, you lived in New York too?" Keisha asked over hearing us. "Yeah, I did. I was in SS for most of the time, but yes."
"Hm..." Keisha nodded her head thoughtfully. As she opened her mouth her name was called, we all stood up and followed her into the office. "The doctor will be in here shortly."
We nodded, Keisha sat on the table while Maria and I sat awkwardly on the chairs in the room. Not even a minute later a pale blond doctor walked into the room, "Hello Ms. Thomas."
"Hello." Keisha grinned at him, her eyes running up and down his body.
She was checking out his nicely put blond hair, his golden eyes standing out against his very pale skin. Another person who has unhealthy looking pale skin, and he happens to be a doctor. "My name is Carlisle Cullen." He told us.
I knitted my eyebrows together in confusion, as is Edward Cullen? It would explain where he got his unntaural paleness from, but Edward looked nothing like Carlisle though. Could vampires even have babies... wait was Carlisle a vampire.
My heard was now racing, and my head was pounding. Was he going to suck our blood? Isn't that what they did to people? Carlisle looked at me weirdly, his head tilted to the side. He glanced at Maria who looked bored in her seat.
I bit my lip, waiting for him to continue.
"Are you sisters?" He asked Maria and me. He was still giving me an unsure look.
"No, I'm the god mother." I looked at Keisha who was now beaming, I pretty much confirmed that I would do it for her. "I'm just a friend." Maria murmured from her spot on her chair.
"Okay, so what can I do for you Ms. Thomas."
"Well, I believe that I am pregnant. I want to know if this is just one big kid, or twins and how far along I am." She explained to him, not taking her eyes off him for a moment.
"I can do that for you." Carlisle told Keisha to lift her shirt so he could put on ultrasound goop onto her stomach.
I was absolutely confused at what he was doing, I've seen it in movies when I was little. This was something I've never experienced watching before, so I was utterly confused with the entire thing. I wouldn't say I was astounded when I saw a picture come up on a little monitor.
"There they are." He smiled, "You are indeed having twins, there are two heart beats."
Keisha smiled rubbing her eyes, she was so happy. It was impossible not to feel it radiating off of her. "I'm going to run some tests to find out about any genetic abnormalities."
After he finished explaining things to us Keisha pulled her shirt back down. "Does Erin have to like sign anything?"
"Well, if you were to pass away and something would happen the father she would be next in line for the child." He explained, I already knew about this.
"Yes, but do I have to sign anything to make... legal?"
"Well, I assume that you are under age, so if you were to talk to a lawyer about it then your parents would have to sign it as well."
"What if I don't know who the father is, and assuming I do, he didn't want anything to do with it? Then what?" Keisha asked.
"Hm, he would be next in line but since he isn't going to be getting involved at all there isn't much we can do." Carlisle paused.
"Could we just have you get the papers instead of a lawyer?" Keisha asked hopefully.
"I could try for it, could I have a number?" Carlisle asked
I pursed my lips, it would have to be my number. I don't want a vampire to have my number... what if he tracked me down and tried to kill me.
Embry really shouldn't have told me about the vampires, especially since I go to school with a bunch. I wrote down my number slowly for Carlisle before standing up. "Can we leave now?" I asked coughing.
"Yeah." Keisha nodded her head standing up.
Maria, Keisha and I didn't end up going back to school. "What am I going to do?" Keisha asked suddenly while we sat on a park bench.
"What do you mean?" Maria asked. Keisha and Maria had become easy friends over the past couple hours.
"Where am I going to live? I can't stay with Erin my entire life." Keisha looked at me.
"I could tell Dan and Carrie about all this..." I trailed off, "I think they would be happy to have you, but you would have to go back to school and get a job."
"I'd be very grateful if they allowed that." Keisha sighed rubbing her temples.
"I'll have to talk Dan and Carrie..." I sighed.
I couldn't help but think that they would be angry at me for lying and saying she was a friend. Not ever did I bet they think that she was a friend from the streets, and not only is she pregnant. She is an adult without an education, and she's jobless.
She doesn't know what's right from wrong, and you could tell that from hanging out with her for one day that she is a naive young eighteen year old who thinks that everything in the world will fall at her feet.
I like Keisha, but I was just telling the truth. After thinking about it for a while I know that she has been there whenever I needed to talk like a real friend would be, but like I said it is very hard to trust people when you don't always know the real them.
I pulled out my cell phone and dialed in Sam's house number. "Hello?" I heard Seth's voice.
"You answer Sam's phone now?" I asked, smiling.
"Erin?" He sounded like he was yelling in the phone.
"Yeah... could you get Embry to come get me... I figured that he was there." I asked Seth, he told me to hold on a second.
"I'm going to get going, I'll see you at school tomorrow. Bye, Erin. Keisha." Maria waved at us and walked in the direction she lived.
"Yeah, he's on his way." Seth said, "See you soon."
"I'm at the park."
"Bye."
I hung up my cell phone and looked at Keisha. "So, you going to tell them in person?"
"Yeah. You're going to have to share a room with me I think." I sighed, thinking about sharing a room with her.
It was going to get annoying after a while. I knew it was because soon her stomach is going to be huge and I'll have to deal with it like poking me in my sleep or something. "I'm fine with that if you are."
Keisha was smiling hopefully at me. It was going to suck, but I should be grateful myself I have a place to live. I know it sucks not to have a place.
"I don't mind." I smiled softly at her.
Her and I continued talking about random things until Embry pulled up next to us. I got into his truck and sat in the middle between him and Keisha. "She coming down to your house?" Embry asked me kissing my temple lovingly.
"Yeah, she's going to be staying with me for a while." I told him, looking into his deep brown eyes.
He just nodded his head, and started to the highway. His one hand was on the steering wheel, the other on my leg. "So Embry...?" Keisha started.
I watched Embry glance out of the side of his eyes at me. He looked a little worried, like she was going to test to see if he was going to be good enough for me or something. "Do you have a job?" She asked.
I had to hold in a snicker. She didn't even have a job... I know she was only trying to check up on him though. "No, not yet." He shrugged his shoulders, squeezing my thigh.
"You going to go to college?" She winked at me and I rolled my eyes.
"Maybe. I don't know what I want to do though, I'll probably just work with Jacob when he opens his shop."
I looked at him, "What shop?" I asked.
"Mechanics shop." Embry shrugged, I nodded my head.
I had forgotten that Jacob liked to fix cars. "What are you going to go to college for?" Embry asked her back.
"Um, I have to go back to school first." Keisha sighed, leaning against the door.
Embry looked at me to see if he said something wrong. I shook my head, I wanted to lean on him but I would probably distract him from driving.
The rest of the drive was pretty quiet, Embry dropped me off at my house. "Oh shit... they're home."
Carrie and Dan's car was in the drive way. Asking and explaining where Keisha stands was going to be hard, getting them to let her stay with us was going to be harder. I was prepared for anything at the moment.
