Please tell me what you think. I'd like to know everyone's thoughts, I'm just winging it at this point.
KNOCKED UP AT SEVENTEEN
CHAPTER ONE
Telling my mom had been the worst. Seth had held my hand through it all. Even when I had to go up Forks for my first doctor's appointment. That had been pretty shocking. I thought maybe I was a few weeks along, but man was I wrong. I hadn't really gained any weight, hell I only noticed that my jeans weren't fitting anymore a few weeks ago. I thought I was just gaining a little weight, and then I realized I hadn't had a period in over four months. The doctor told me I was almost six months along. Only four months to go, Wow.
I mean I'd always been slender, and toned because I ran everyday. I started gaining weight in my sixth month. My stomach had just now started to bulge out. So I started wearing larger clothes. As far as I knew only Seth and I knew I was pregnant.
Seth was on his way over so that we could have our weekly movie night. I had ordered pizza earlier so that we would have something to eat, I pulled a couple of cans of coke out of the fridge and sat them on the coffee table in the living room. Returning back to the kitchen I grabbed a bottle of water and a large bag of peanut butter m&ms. The phone rang as Seth walked through the door. I answered the phone, Mom was just calling to tell me she was working late. I hung up the phone and was pulled into a great big bear hug by Seth. I smiled, and returned the hug.
"How are you, honey?" he asked, pulling away and running his hand over my belly. He had become accustomed to this. To the point that he was even talking to the baby.
"I'm fine, this kid is making me bloated" I laughed grabbing his hand and leading him to the couch. Seth laughed before pulling me onto the couch with him, instantly I cuddled into his chest.
Seth had always been my rock, ever since we had been in jr. high and now in high school.
"The movie is already in the dvd player" I said, sitting up and grabbing the remote. Pressing power, the screen on the tv went to the pretty blue while the dvd loaded. Seth grabbed four slices of pizza and began cramming them into his mouth. I smiled and grabbed my own m&ms and water.
"how healthy.." Seth commented through a mouth full of pizza.
"why yes it is. It's like the only thing I can keep down lately," I smirked, and pressed play on the remote. We were watching Transformers.
After we were done eating, Seth laid down on the couch, and I cuddled up behind him, my head on his chest. His fingers drifted up and down my back in slow strokes, that were putting me to sleep. I wasn't really paying attention to the movie, but more on Seth's breathing.
Seth had been there for anything and over the last few weeks I had fallen for him a little. I never planned on telling him that particular piece of information, because it could ruin our amazing friendship. I knew Seth loved me. He always had. Before Paul, before we were even friends. Sometimes it was like we were so connected that we could read each other's thoughts.
I had never looked at Seth in that way though. Paul had always been my knight in shining armor, right up until he imprinted. Wait, imprinted….. My mind was swirling back to the old stories we'd all been told for years. An imprint was whatever the imprinted needed.
I looked up at Seth. His eyes weren't even on the tv. They were on me. "Hi" I said softly. He smiled. "Can I ask you something?" I smiled back, my fingers walked up his chest.
"Sure," he sat up pulling me to sit next to him on the couch.
"Have you imprinted?" I asked, and then looked down to my lap. He laughed nervously. Looking down at his lap examining his hands like they were the most interesting thing in the world.
"Well?" I asked impatiently. He took my hand, and met my eyes.
"Yes, Cassie, I have."
"When?"
"Umm, three years ago," he stumbled over his words. He had turned into shape shifter three years ago.
"Who?" I asked.
"Umm…" He stopped, his eyes dropping back to his lap.
"Seth?"
"Cassie, you know it's not like that right? You know I'm not trying to be like that with you," Seth said so fast I could barely understand him.
"Me?" I asked. Of course I'd already figured it out myself.
"Yes, Cassie, and I have hid it for over three years from Paul, and I will continue to hide it." Seth said matter of factly.
I just sat there. I mean I knew what had happened I didn't realize that he was hiding it from them. It was almost the hardest thing in the world to hide your imprint from the pack, and Seth had been doing for three years now.
"What made you ask" he finally said
"I umm…" I started but stopped, "umm Seth, I'm really tired."
"Cassie…"
"No, umm I'm going to go to bed now, you can let yourself out, or make yourself at home on the couch," I said before leaving the room and going to my bedroom.
Maybe it was the fact that I was carrying another man's baby, but I didn't feel that way toward Seth yet. I had feelings for him but I wasn't in love with him, was I? I sighed and changed into my pajamas. Running my hands over my stomach. I was gaining more weight now, and it was going to get harder and harder to conceal. I turned off the lights and crawled into bed. The front door slammed and after a few moments I had a gut wrenching howl.
So, what do you think? Leave a review please, with sugar on top?
