A/M: Sorry about the delay in update. I'm back in school and I had a party. I might not get the updates out as speedy-quick as before but don't think I'm abandoning this…Christina would kill me.
Oh and good news! I finally know how this story will end. But I'm not telling anyboy
Anyway, my updates might be a little delayed because of 1. School and 2. The middle school drama has been announced and I'm gonna help with that! And then there's the volunteer work I'm doing with tutoring and stuff and the Freshman Play that I'm auditioning for because…well I'm a Freshman and I'm an actress…PWAHHH!! Well…now onto the love-life of Anna and Jacob.
Chapter Seven
Over the next few months, Jacob remained faithful to Anna at her side constantly at the hospital. Leaving only when she threatened to have Bella kick him out. Jacob knew he could take Bella but he did as Anna said.
One day when he returned from being told to leave on Friday and not come back till Monday he found Anna sobbing, clutching a bundle of her hair in her hand. He had done his best to console her but he knew that loosing her hair would be a big blow for Anna.
Leah came a lot too, she and Anna got along impecibly well. One day she even brought Kim, Jared's imprint and girlfriend along with her, she too hit it off with Anna. One time Jacob was pushed out of the room so that Anna could ask Leah a favor in private. Jacob had grumbled the whole time, making passer-bys stare at him.
Three weeks later, when Jacob was kicked out again Leah requested to come. Emily (now 6 months pregnant), Kim, Claire and Megan were all due to come later but Leah wished to go early so she went with Jacob in his car.
When they got up to her room she smiled at them brightly, her hair had thinned out loosing it's luscious volume but she hadn't lost it all yet. Then she held out her hand to Leah who produced a burnable CD in a jeweled case.
"Pick easier songs next time, jeeze, the original London cast of Les Misérables was near impossible to find!" Leah whined handing Anna the CD who handed it to Jacob.
"Jake, can you put it in?" She asked pointing to the CD player they had brought for her that was sitting on a table.
He did as she asked and pressed the play button. "What is it?" he asked both Anna and Leah as a too-familiar song began to pound out of the speakers next to him.
"Turn away/If you could get me a drink…" Anna smiled at the song and looked to Jacob with wistful eyes.
"Do you remember Emily and Sam's kitchen?" She asked in a weak voice that kept Jacob up at night.
He smiled. Of course he remembered, how could he not? It was the first time he know he loved her. He went to her in her bed and sat on the edge of it, facing her. Leah excused herself quietly, Anna didn't appear to notice. Jacob only did slightly.
"Hold me." She pleaded. Jacob didn't need to be asked twice, he slid so he lay next to her on top of the white sheets. She rested her small head on his gigantic chest.
They lay there for ages, breathing in and out smoothly with each other, listening to the songs as they switched though never really recognizing their order or their meaning. They were all sad, mostly slow but neither minded. It was what they needed at that moment.
All too soon their alone time was spent and the CD started up again from the first track. They had a few more minutes before the door was opened by Leah leading in the girl parade, neither Jacob nor Anna were embarrassed by their position on the bed that could be considered compromising and no one questioned it.
However, they were kicked out of it quickly, Claire marched up to the bed and came face to face with Jacob. "You. Out." She commanded. "Now." Jacob scrambled up and left the room, gazing at Anna the whole time.
When Jacob left the room, the five visiting girls squealed loudly, Claire stared at them with a skeptical eyebrow raised. "Guess what Claire found out today?" Kim shrieked.
"What?" Anna said. "I can't guess."
Claire stared her straight in the eyes, "I'm pregnant." She said very seriously. Anna felt her eyes widen as she stared into Claire's eyes for any trace of a joke.
"You're kidding!" Anna cried.
"I'm not!" She placed a hand on her un-changed stomach. "It was one spontaneous night without protection and now I'm pregnant!" Leah cringed at her words with jealousy but had a firm smile plastered on her face.
Anna finally found her excitement for Claire and she too let out a girlish squeal. Meanwhile attempting to ignore the dialogue in the back of her head.
I wonder if I'll ever be pregnant. If I'll ever have "one spontaneous night without protection".
Anna didn't like these thoughts that always wormed their way into her head but she couldn't shake them realizing that she may, in fact, never be with Jacob that intimately. That she may die a virgin. That she may never get married. May never have children. May never have a family or a life outside of the Uley's house and the hospital.
The girls stayed, talking about names for Emily's baby and now Claire's.
"I like Scott." Anna mused thoughtfully, rubbing Emily's swollen belly.
"Okay, well Scott's off the list." Emily smiled.
"What? No, I meant for your baby," Anna explained. "When it's a boy." Sam had always wanted a son but had gotten instead two daughters so everyone was rooting for this baby to be different but they refused to learn the sex of their baby.
"I wonder if Quil will want to know the sex…" Claire trailed off.
"I think he'll want whatever you want." Leah said reassuringly, Claire smiled thankfully up at her and laughed at herself.
"Look at me, I'm pregnant for what? A few hours and I'm already becoming obsessed!" She laughed embarrassedly.
"Technically, you've been pregnant for two months you just didn't know for sure until about five hours ago." Megan said in a smart voice. She hadn't said much this visit even though normally she was the chatterbox of the group.
It was then that the door opened and Bella entered with Jacob at her side, "I have some good news." She declared smiling at Anna.
Anna looked radiant at the idea of good news, she sat up and Jacob joined her once again on the edge of the bed, they both looked expectantly at Bella who had a huge smile on. The future-telling one had seen it, Jacob knew it immediately, it was going to work. Going to make Anna better.
"There's an operation," Bella said, testing the waters to make sure neither Leah nor Jacob (or the two hormonal pregnant women for that matter) would attack her. "And I'd only trust Carlisle to do it…" she paused again when the group seemed unphased she continued on again. "It's a surgery to remove Anna's tumor and there's a 95 percent chance it'll work and you'll be forever in remission." She turned to Anna. "What do you say?"
"Yes, yes a million times yes!" she exclaimed.
A/M: Eh I was teetering on this one, make it longer…don't make it longer…I decided I'll give you two more chapters…I know I said like 5 more last chapter but I finally decided how I'm going to end it and nothing's going to change my mind!
When this is over I'll be giving out a copy of Anna's Cancer Playlist, which is the CD that Leah made for her and the playlist I listen to when I write this.
