I'm ashamed to call myself a writer! In the last few chapters, I have forgotten Paul! How could I forget Paul? :O I am going to go and bang my head against a wall because of my stupidity. Hmm, maybe not. :D
Chapter 6 – Phone Calls
ONE DAY LATER
Poor Ben! I thought to myself.
"Okay, just hold still…" Carlisle instructed as he planted the needle (A/N) – I hate needles! They are my absolute least favourite thing in the whole world!) in the crook of Ben's elbow and drew out the blood. Jacob held him tighter as I whispered words of comfort.
"Owww!" Ben sobbed as tears ran down his cheeks.
"It's all over." Carlisle said as he put the needle full of blood on our dining table that was covered in medical equipment.
"Mummy." Ben whined, reaching out for me with his small hands. I took him in my arms and held him tightly.
"How long will the tests take?" Jacob asked, draping his arm around Ben and I protectively.
"Well, seeing as I can't send them to a professional lab… probably three days." He told us as he packed away his stuff. "In the meantime, you should get him to try and phase twice a day, and visit me daily."
"Okay Carlisle, say hi to mum for me." I said as he headed out the door.
"Bye!" he called back and then he was gone.
"Well," I sighed, "How about some brekky?" Both Ben and Jake were excited about this idea.
LEAH'S POV
Wow, I thought as I lay in bed, I had never wanted to imprint but now that I have … it's actually a wonderful thing. I mean, sure he's a vampire and I'm a werewolf, but we'll work around that. The only bad thing is having to put up with Paul.
I rolled out of bed and had a shower to wake me up properly. After I put on my favourite blue sundress I ran down the stairs, and into the kitchen.
"Morning mum!" I said cheerfully as I sat down at the kitchen bench.
"Well someone's happy this morning." She pointed out, seeming a little surprised as she put a pile of pancakes in front of me.
"I guess I am." I mumbled through a mouthful of delicious pancakes. "Wow mum, these are good!"
"Thanks," she said, smiling a motherly smile, "Bella rang earlier; she wants you to call her back."
"Oh, I wonder why…." I lied. I knew exactly what she wanted. Once I had finished I went to the phone and dialed Bella's number. After a few rings, Bella picked up.
"Hello?" I heard her voice ask.
"Hey Bella, it's me. Mum told me you called this morning." I told her as I leaned against the wall.
"Oh my god, it was so totally unexpected!" she exclaimed, sounding like a high school bimbo.
"I know, I know…" I sighed, smiling in spite of myself.
"So when are you going to meet? Today? Tomorrow? Has he called you?" She babbled, bombarding me with questions.
"Um, I don't know when we'll meet. He hasn't called but that doesn't mean anything… does it?" I asked, staring to doubt the power of imprintment. (A/N) – Um, is imprintment even a word?...?... I don't think it is … oh well :D)
"No, no. He's probably just nervous. You guys are total opposites and Rosalie just died. Actually, she was killed by you and your brothers so that is probably a bit weird for him…" she trailed off.
"What? You think he really thinks that? Oh my god!" I screeched, definitely panicking now.
"Calm down!" Bella yelled through the phone, "Everything will be alright. I'll call Alice for you later and ask."
"Really? Thank you!" I sighed in relief. "Oh yeah, how's Ben? Does Carlisle know what's wrong with him?" I asked.
"No," Bella sighed, her voice turning dull, "Carlisle doesn't know what wrong yet, but he should in three days."
"Oh…" I said, almost wishing I hadn't asked. I felt real bad for Jake and Bella, knowing that Ben was there precious baby. I wondered how bad this would affect the still growing baby.
"Well, I had better go." Bella said, "I'll call Alice for you."
"Okay, bye!" I said and hang up.
EMMETT'S POV
Wasn't I supposed to be the big, brave vampire? I asked myself, Why am I such a wuss? I can't even talk to the woman I love! Why? I sat in my room, right next to the phone, my hand itching to pick it up and call Leah. But for some reason it was too hard, too difficult. I sighed and started to get up when the phone started ringing.
"I'll get it!" I bellowed, my loud voice echoing through the house. "Hello, Emmett speaking." I said into the receiver.
"Hey Emmett, its Bella." I heard Bella say.
"Hey Bella, how's Ben going?" I asked, already knowing the tests would take three days.
"He hates not being able to phase, but I guess we'll just have to be patient." She told me, "Um, is Alice there?" she asked.
"No sorry, she went for a run with Jasper, Renee and Carlisle. It's just me, home alone." I sighed, faking loneliness. Now that made her laugh.
"Oh, poor little Emmett!" she giggled. I smiled; glad that I made her laugh when her baby could be in serious danger.
"I could take a message for you, tell her why you called or something" I offered.
"Well…" she trailed off, "I actually called to ask Alice about you." That shocked me.
"Me?" I asked, "Why me? What about?"
"About you and Leah." She explained, "I was talking to Leah and I said I would talk to Alice and see if she could talk to you." I would have been confused if I didn't have the quick mind of a vampire.
"So really Leah wants to talk to me?" I queried.
"Basically." She said, "She was going to call you but she wasn't sure…"
"Don't worry, I'll call her." I said much more confidently than I felt. "See you later, bye!"
"Okay, bye." She said and hung up.
Well, Emmett I thought to myself, All you have to do is call her!
I picked up the phone and dialed the number I had found in the phone book hours ago.
Ring Ring Ring Ring
"Hello?" I heard Leah ask.
"Hey Leah, it's Emmett." I answered, wondering how she would react.
I liked going from everyone's different point of view. I hope you liked it to! Please review, all you have to do it say 'I read it' and I'll be extremely happy!
