A/N
Writing this chapter actually brought me down, I couldn't write it just the way I wanted it either unless I was tired. That's how it always is with me, it is very very weird! I have to write stories at night time, the words just seem to come to me more clearly!
It's weird, but I don't mind it.
I believe this story is coming to an end, I actually think that this is going to be the last chapter in fact! Well, that is unless I decide to write an epologue, which I probably won't, but I might. I don't even know. It really depends.
I really do thank you all for reviewing too, it is so amazing to get compliments on my writing.
Everyone is so wonderful!

I sat on my bed watching baby Kale sleep soundly right next to me, I lay beside him on my side. I had my head rested in my hand, I could feel my eyes becoming heavy, but I couldn't do anything except stare at baby Kale.
It has been a week, a week since my suspension, and four days since I had Kale move in with me and my family. I had not been to school since, and I hadn't slept much at all, I couldn't think straight, I knew deep inside that I should be talking to someone about this, but I refused to because I didn't care about anything anymore.
I couldn't find myself to change how I used to act, I still felt like that immature teenager who thought she could do everything by herself. I didn't want anyones help, I just wanted to be alone. Alone with Kale.
I closed my eyes, I could rest them for a little bit right? I wouldn't miss anything that important, and if I did miss something, Kale would wake me up.
I thought I had only blinked, but the sun was beaming into my room at full shine. I blinked again, rubbing the sleep from my eyes, there, right by my side where I left him was Kale, staring at me with his big blue eyes.
I dragged myself out of my bed in a slow scooting motion, "Are you hungry?" I stared down at Kale questioningly, noticing that he hasn't made a sound since I woke up.
This wasn't unusual, Kale didn't make noises. Kale was always quiet, he seemed like he was the exact opposite of what Keisha was, he didn't seem like he was a reckless baby. I was going to do everything to prevent Kale from ending up like his mother, I wasn't going to let him get into the position that her and I were once in.
I was going to take care of him until he no longer needed me.
I was pulled out of my thoughts when I heard someone knocking at the door, I didn't even realize that I had been feeding Kale. I've been so out of it lately, I'm worrying Embry.
He reminds me everyday that he loves me, he tells me that he will always be there for me and Kale. Kale wasn't even his son, I don't even know if he liked Keisha that much, but he wanted to take care of the boy like he was his own. Someone out there loved me, to have given me such an amazing person like Embry to have by my side. I was so lucky to have found him.
"How are you feeling?" Embry questioned, walking into the house after I opened the door. He had a frown upon his face, I wonder why.
"I'm good." I told him, rocking Kale back and forth in my arms.
"Erin, I'm worried about you." Embry sighed, looking at the floor.
I held Kale tighter to myself, not wanting to hear what Embry had to say. Please don't speak to me Embry, I don't want to hear what comes next. "I know that you are depressed because of what happened, I don't want you to be depressed anymore. It hurts me to see you like this."
"How do you suppose I stop being depressed then!" I snapped at him, feeling Kale shake in my arms now. "How can I forget everything!"
"You don't need to forget everything Erin." Embry spoke in a calm, low voice. He was being so good about this, I couldn't handle anything anymore. I felt like I was on a quick spiral, and all that it was leading me to was down.
I breathed in harshly, it was like my breath intake was harder to pull in. "I don't know what I am supposed to do then Embry! There is no place in the world for fuck ups like me, I don't belong!" Kale was bawling in my arms now, the milk that I was giving him was all over the floor. Somehow the bottle lid had come off. All I could hear right now was Kale crying in my ear, it was like he was crying with me now. "Anywhere I go I always seem to bring trouble along with me! There is no where I belong!"
"Erin!" I didn't even notice that Embry was holding me so tightly to him. "You belong with me."
"You're too good for me." I cried into his chest as he held me, he was rocking us back and forth trying to calm both Kale and I down.
"I'm not too good for you Erin, I want you to marry me." Embry spoke softly into my ear, his voice calming me like a sweet lullaby.
"No." I whispered to him, my sobs no longer with me. "I'll just drag you down."
We stopped rocking, Kale didn't seem to like this and his water works were falling from his face again. "You won't, seeing you upset brings me down Erin." Embry held my shoulder with his one hand, his other hand lifting my chin so I was facing him completely.
I averted my eyes from him, trying not to stare at him. "Erin, please look at me." He begged.
Slowly, I brought my eyes back to look into his, I couldn't believe that this man was so good to me even though I was such a... cold hearted selfish bitch. "I'm sorry." I stared at him with tears clouding my brown eyes.
"You were such a sad and angry person when I first met you." Embry smiled weakly at me, glancing down at Kale.
Rocking Kale back and forth to deplete his cries did not distract me from Embry's eyes, I still looked into them with such interest. "I remember that I walked into Emily's house without watching where I was going, I sent you straight to the ground." He sighed sadly, "You didn't want anything to do with me."
I stared into his sad eyes, he was explaining about how we met. I knew how we met, because all this happened to me. "You came to my house when it was raining, Jensen spilt his drink all over the floor." Embry's eyes were darker now, like he was having flashbacks to the time when I came over to his house with Jensen and met his mother.
Jensen, the poor little boy, I never did anything with him anymore.
I was too focused on myself to even realized I pretty much left him behind. He wouldn't understand what is going on, but that didn't mean that I didn't feel bad about what I had done to the poor boy. "You aren't messed up Erin." He spoke.
I looked away from him now, staring that the sleeping baby in my arms. How did he sleep so much? "You were just lonely and needed someone to love you."
Kale was gently put onto the couch so I could talk to Embry more effectively. "Embry." I said his name, lifting my small hand to touch his russet coloured cheek. "What could I do without you?"
I knew that without him everything would have been different, everything! "Erin, I really do want you to marry me." Embry whispered, hugging me to him tightly.
"Aren't we too young?" I whispered back.
"Are you scared?" He asked me in a gentle tone.
I found my face heating up a little bit, not because I was embarrassed or anything, I just didn't know. "I don't want to be alone." I finally cried, even harder than before. "I don't want to be alone ever again!"
"I won't ever leave you Erin, you are my everything." Embry's embrace brought me back to all the good times that we did share together, the times we both shared together. Times where we were happy; where I was happy
"Yes." I cooed into his ear.
"What?" Embry stepped back from his hug so he could see my eyes now.
"I'm going to marry you." I whispered to him.
I wasn't going to say that things went perfectly from that time on, but things did get a little better. There were still a lot of days where I would just stay home and sulk with Kale, but I wasn't alone, Embry was with me just lying by my side.
When I did go out of the house Embry kelp me on my toes, we were always doing things to put me into a good mood, and whenever I was in a good mood Embry seemed to be in an even better mood that I was.
I think I have said this a while ago, maybe I have a couple times actually.
I don't know how things could possibly get better, I had a growing baby boy that was a joy to be around and brought back good and bad memories. I had my loving soon to be husband, Embry. I had my caring family that would always be there for me when I fall. I even had amazing friends that were there for me even though I didn't spend a bunch of time with them.
I don't know if I could ask for much more than that.
