Recap:A tear slid down her cheek.
……
..
Dekan awoke early the next morning, intent on seeing Embry before either of them had to leave for school. She just couldn't believe that Embry would do something like that. Dekan kept repeating the reasons in her head. The more she did that, the more ludicrous it all sounded. By the time she got out of the shower, Dekan had convinced herself that it was all a giant misunderstanding. Dekan dressed in a pair of jeans and a t shirt, along with a raincoat as it was raining outside. As per the usual. Pulling the hood over her head, Dekan jogged the distance to Embry's house and up the steps, knocking on the door again. Embry's mom answered the door once more.
"Is Embry around? I really need to ta-" Dekan started, but got interrupted by Sadie.
"He's in the shower. He wanted me to give you a message. I'm sorry, sweetie, but he said he's not ready for this type of relationship. He wants to break up." Sadie said, looking away. Embry would hate her once he found out. But she had to do it to protect her son.
"O-Oh. I see…yeah…" Dekan said, the news washing over her like ice water.
She mumbled something that passed for goodbye as she walked down the steps. Sadie shut the door, watching Dekan walk away.
"Who was that, Mom?" Embry asked, coming out of the bathroom wrapped in a towel.
"That was Dekan, baby. She wanted me to tell you something. I'm sorry, baby, she said she wanted to break up." Sadie said, glancing out of the window, seeing Jake looking down at Dekan, and wrapping his arms around her. "She's with Jake now."
"She what? He…she…what?!" Embry said, taking two steps to the window and looking out. He indeed saw his best friend holding his girlfriend. 'Well,' he thought 'my former best friend and girlfriend.'
……
..
Jake looked over, seeing Dekan walk down the steps from Embry's house, her head low. 'Oh this can't be good…not after last night.' Jake thought, dropping his wrench in his toolbox and running over to Dekan.
"What happened?" Jake asked, grabbing Dekan's arm.
"He…he broke up with me." Dekan whispered.
"He what? You're fucking kidding me…" Jake said, narrowing his eyes.
"I wish I was." Dekan said, looking up at Jake. He wrapped his arms around Dekan and pulled her close.
"I'm sorry…damn…" Jake whispered, holding Dekan. He could feel her trembling and he knew that it wasn't from the raining cold weather. Dekan grabbed a hold of Jake's shirt and held tight, crying.
"Want me to take you to school?" Jake offered when Dekan pulled back, her eyes red rimmed.
Dekan nodded wiping her eyes. "Yeah." She ran inside and grabbed her backpack and walked back outside, seeing Jake on his motorcycle. "You know what's so great about the rain…?" Dekan asked, looking up and letting the rain fall on her face.
"What's that?" Jake asked, kick starting his motorcycle.
"No one sees your tear drops when it pours." Dekan said, climbing on the back, wrapping her arms around Jake's waist. Jake nodded and drove off, heading for Forks High School.
……
..
Bella was getting ready to turn into La Push when she saw Jake on his motorcycle with a girl on the back. She pulled into La Push, not dreaming that Dekan would be away from Embry and be on the back of Jake's motorcycle. When Bella found that it was indeed Dekan on the back, she called Alice.
Alice and Jasper were waiting in front of the school on Dekan.
……
..
"Dekan! What gives?" Alice said, seeing Jake stop on his motorcycle and help Dekan off, handing her her backpack. He leaned down and whispered something to her before getting back on and driving off.
"What?" Dekan asked, walking up to them.
"Why were you riding with Jake? What about Bella? And what about Embry?" Alice asked.
"Because he offered. And I'd rather not talk about anything else." Dekan said, brushing past them.
"Carlisle wants to see you after school." Jasper said. "Dekan…stop, please."
"Why?" Dekan asked, feeling a tug on her hand.
"What's going on with you and Embry?" Jasper whispered as they entered the building, sitting down at their usual table. Dekan got looks from everyone as she walked in.
"He broke up with me." Dekan whispered.
"He what?!" Alice shrieked, standing up.
"Alice! Sit down!" Dekan said, trying to pull her arm down.
"Why?" Alice asked, sitting back down.
"I don't know." Dekan whispered. "I just don't know." She got up and grabbed her backpack, heading for the bathroom.
Dekan headed for the bathroom and got stopped by Jason Singer, a senior. Edward crushed a can of soda in his hand a second later, having heard the thoughts in Jason's head. Jasper and Alice looked over at Edward. Dekan pushed Jason away, heading for the girl restroom again only to be stopped by Thomas Loran. Alice grabbed Edward's arm before he could get up and kill the boy for his thoughts. Dekan slapped him and ran to the bathroom. Thomas looked over at his table of friends and started laughing.
"What's all that about?" Rosalie asked, sitting beside Edward.
"Those fuckers…word got out about Dekan's past. Now every guy in here is thinking that they're going to get with her." Edward ground out.
The table suffered a severe break due to Jasper. He was gripping the edge of the table hard when Edward announced what the thoughts were of the guys in the school. Alice gasped and looked over at Jasper who was shaking with anger.
"Jazz…ca-" Alice whispered.
"Don't." Jasper bit out, glaring at the two guys who accosted his Dekan. They would be lucky if the only consequence they suffered were their vehicles being accidentally totaled.
……
..
Bella dropped Dekan off at the hospital after school. Emmett, Edward, and Jasper were otherwise occupied with defacing the vehicles of most of the male students of the school. Dekan walked up the four flights of stairs to Carlisle's office instead of taking the elevator; too many people on an elevator always creeped her out. A little out of breath, Dekan knocked on the door to Carlisle's office.
"Come in, Dekan." Carlisle called out.
"How did you know it was me?" Dekan asked, walking inside.
"I know." Carlisle said, tapping his nose. Dekan chuckled.
"I have your results." Carlisle said, grabbing a folder from his desk and handing it to Dekan.
Dekan raised an eyebrow and opened the folder, looking down through her results. Her levels all looked fine, she guessed. She flipped to the second page to see more medical mumbo jumbo. She flipped until she came to the last page and read the single sentence.
"WHAT?!" Dekan shouted, standing up quickly.
Carlisle smiled, knowing what she had read.
"Should I say congratulations? By the look on your face, I don't really know." Carlisle said, coming to stand beside Dekan.
"This can't be right, Carlisle! It…it's wrong! I can't be…be…you know! I have an I.U.D.!" Dekan said, shaking the paper in his direction.
"I ran the test twice myself, Dekan. It is correct. We'll need to remove your I.U.D. as soon as possible to avoid the fetus getting any ill effects from it." Carlisle said.
"Could my day get any more eventful?" Dekan asked as Carlisle led her to the examining room.
"What do you mean?" Carlisle asked, letting Dekan undress while he washed his hands and put gloves on. Dekan lay on the table in the dressing gown.
"Embry…he…he has girlfriends. And I'm not one of them anymore…"Dekan whispered, her tears returning.
"Embry Call? I thought he imprinted on you." Carlisle said, removing her I.U.D.
"Yeah…who else." Dekan replied, her voice shaky.
……
..
Dekan stood outside of the hospital, her cell phone in her hand. She debated on calling Embry. His mom would just answer and tell her he was busy with some whore. She couldn't call Sam. Not yet. Biting her lip, she dialed Jasper's number. He picked up on the first ring.
"Dekan?" Jasper said, answering his cell phone.
"Yeah…yeah, it's me. Can you come and get me? I'm at the hospital." Dekan said.
Alice screamed in the background. Dekan winced, knowing that Alice must have had a vision.
"GO GET HER, JASPER! NOW!" Alice shouted.
"I'll be there in two minutes." Jasper said, hanging up.
Dekan hung the phone up and dialed Jake's cell phone. He answered on the third ring.
"Jake…it's Dekan." Dekan said.
"Dekan, what's wrong?" Jake asked.
"Is…Are you and Embry…can you talk to him?" Dekan asked.
"I can try. Hold on." Jake said, running to Embry's house and knocking on the door.
"Is Embry around?" Dekan could hear Jake asking.
"He's busy with Jaime Field. Come back later." Sadie replied. Jake sighed and walked back to his garage.
"He's busy. What did you need to tell him?" Jake asked.
"I…" Dekan whispered, her voice shaky again. "I'm pregnant."
Jake dropped his cell phone.
……
..
Jasper arrived less than a minute later, getting out quickly and opening the door, helping Dekan in. He quickly got back in and drove off.
"Why is Alice freaking out? Are you okay?" Jasper asked, worried.
"I'm…I'm okay. I'm pregnant." Dekan whispered. Jasper slammed on the brakes.
"You're pregnant?" Jasper asked, looking over at Dekan who nodded.
"Does Embry know?" Jasper asked.
"No…I called Jake to see if he could get a hold of him but he couldn't. But Jake knows." Dekan whispered.
"Holy shit. Okay…its okay." Jasper said, heading back towards the house.
A few minutes later, Jasper pulled up to the house, Alice running down the steps and throwing the passenger side door open, pulling Dekan out into a hug.
"Oh this is so exciting!" Alice squealed, jumping up and down. Rosalie came out, having heard Alice's shouting.
"Are you really pregnant?" Rosalie asked, glancing at Dekan's stomach.
"Yeah…and Embry doesn't know…he broke up with me earlier…" Dekan said, knowing everyone would ask her about that.
"I see. Where are you going to live?" Rosalie asked, walking towards Dekan.
"Oh…I don't know yet. Somewhere." Dekan replied.
"You're living here." Rosalie said.
"I…I can't impose on…" Dekan said.
"You're living here, with the baby." Rosalie repeated. Everyone turned to stare at Rosalie.
"What?" Rosalie asked, looking around.
"This isn't really like you, Rose…" Emmett said, coming to stand beside her.
"It is now. Dekan's pregnant and alone. She's living here with us. Any of you have anything to say about that you can take it up with me." Rosalie said, glaring at each person.
"We weren't going to disagree. We were just surprised you insisted." Edward said, smiling.
"I think it's a perfect idea! Dekan can have the baby here and live here!" Alice said, grinning. "We can get started on the nursery!"
"I can be your baby's daddy." Rosalie said, smiling.
"You…you what?" Jasper asked, taken by surprised.
"I can be her baby's daddy!" Rosalie repeated with more enthusiasm. "I'd make a good baby daddy. Sugar daddy!"
Everyone stared at Rosalie as if she'd grown a second head. A second head that started singing opera.
……
..
Jake picked his cell phone off and closed it, seeing that Dekan had hung up. He raced over to Sam's house. Jake burst through the door, seeing Sam and Emily sitting on the couch watching television.
"Jake, man, what the hell? That was my front door!" Sam said, upset.
"Dekan's pregnant. Embry broke up with her. Really want to hurt him." Jake said, a bit out of breath.
"WHAT?!" Emily shouted, surprising both Sam and Jake with her yelling.
"He what? She what?" Sam said, looking back and forth from Emily to Jake.
"He broke up with her earlier and she just called me and told me she's pregnant." Jake repeated.
Sam ran out of the house, transforming into a wolf before he hit the door. Jake followed, tailing him. Sam ran to the side of Embry's house, where Embry's bedroom was and started barking and growling. Embry opened the window a moment later, seeing Sam in wolf form and Jake standing beside him. He started to close the door when Sam transformed back.
"Your ass. The forest. 10 pm. If you don't show I'm feeding you to the fucking wolves. You hear me?" Sam said in a deadly tone.
"Yeah. I hear you." Embry said, shutting the window.
Embry walked back into the living room where Jaime was waiting, books spread out on the table. Sometime between Embry checking on the loud noise and him getting back, Jaime had decided to take her coat off and show a very low cut blouse. That coupled with her mini skirt spelled out trouble.
Too bad for him that the only female that turned him on was Dekan. And she broke up with him earlier this morning.
