Chapter 24: The Baby Mama's Mama

She wants to touch me, woo ooh

She'll never leave me, woo ooh, woo ooh, ooh ooh
Don't trust a ho, never trust a ho
Won't trust a ho 'cause the ho won't trust me

'Don't Trust Me' by 3OH!3

"What?" I said to her.

I'd changed back by now and Ana had put a blanket around me.

Stunned I just looked at her.

She got up slowly and I could see her wince.

The wounds I'd inflicted started to heal but she still had pain on her face.

"You heard exactly what I said. I'm pregnant. With Jacob's baby."

I looked towards him and he was staring off into space.

"Jake?" I asked weakly.

His head snapped back to me, "I'm sorry Melanie. It's possible, we didn't… um…"

Erin finished for him, "We didn't use protection. He came, and he came hard. His juices spilt all into me and therefore I'm pregnant."

Jake winced and I growled; I started to charge towards her when Ana held me back.

Wendy turned to her, "You look like you want to get your ass kicked all over again."

Erin just shrugged, "The only reason she was winning was because I couldn't change. Everyone knows if you transform too much when you're pregnant, you're kids have major mental issues."

That was a thing that every female wolf knew.

I felt defeated and Wendy could see that on my face.

"Wait a second. How do you know is it's even Jake's kid?" She asked.

I looked at Erin and saw her face falter.

I stepped towards her, "Are you even really pregnant? Or are you just trying to break us up?"

Erin looked from me to Wendy to Jacob to Ana and back to me.

Her confident, cocky face was back on.

"Of course, I'm pregnant, and I know it's Jacob's baby because he's the only one I've had sex with in a long time."

My shoulders sagged once again.

I felt like giving up, like just jumping off a cliff to get over all this heartache and suffering.

I looked around at everyone in the room. My sisters had pity for me, Erin was smug, and Jacob looked so sorry. I knew it wasn't his fault but I felt like I wanted to blame it on him; but that wouldn't be very fair of me.

I sighed and said, "I'm going to bed."

With the blanket hugged tightly around me I ran to the back of my house to my room.

I pulled on some sweats and a t-shirt and sat on my bed with my knees up. I put my chin on them and started to cry.

Why did this always happen to me? Why couldn't I just be happy for once? Why were there always people out there that couldn't stand that I was happy?

I was so mad that I picked up the vase of flowers on my nightstand and threw them against the nearest wall.

It also happened to be the wall next to the door, which Jacob had started to walk through.

I had almost hit him with the vase but he ducked out of the way gracefully.

My hands flew up to my mouth, "Jake! I so sorry! I didn't mean to do that!"

He shrugged and brushed a piece of shattered glass off his shoulder, "Hey no problem. I deserve it anyway."

He stood there at the end of my bed staring at me, "May I join you?" he asked.

I nodded and scooted over so that he could fit.

His arms came around me and he pulled me close. I savored his touch and snuggled into his chest.

He sighed, "I'm so sorry Melanie. This is entirely my fault. If… if maybe I had been stronger, I could have resisted her."

I looked up at him, "Wait, I never heard the full story. What happened that night?"

He sighed, "Well, after your grandma dragged you out, Erin came in and apologized. Then as a gift she gave me a smoothie that she'd made from scratch. I thought it was just a 'we're even' thing but it happened to have the date rape drug in it and… Viagra too."

I smacked my forehead, "That's freaking genius! Date rape drug to get you high, and the Viagra to give you a boner! There's no way she could have come up with this herself."

We looked at each other and said at the same time, "Sebastian."

For some reason we found this whole situation hilarious and we burst into laughter.

After laughing for what felt like five minutes straight, we settled down.

"You know I love you right Melanie? If I could go back in time, I would do this all over again and try not to mess up."

I smiled at him, "Everyone make mistakes Jake."

He kissed me lightly, "You're so understanding, I don't deserve you."

"No, you don't." My face was so serious when I said it that Jacob looked worried.

Then I grinned at him, "I'm just messing with ya. But you do know it's true."

He laughed, "Yeah, yeah."

"Dude, you're gonna be a father? With someone other than Mel? What the hell?" Quil said to me.

I just shrugged.

"What do you want me to say? I screwed up."

Quil shook his head while Embry rubbed his chin.

Claire happened to be really quiet all this time. So being the good imprint – unlike me – he is, he went to go check on her.

Before he left the room he said, "This conversation is not over. I seriously have to kick your ass for this."

I rolled my eyes, "Looking forward to it."

Quil walked out and I turned to Embry.

"You've been awfully quiet; what do you think about this mess?"

Embry's gaze slowly came to me, "I think you should make her take a DNA test. You have no idea if that's your kid. I know you say that Mel's understanding but when a girl has to deal with a baby mama, it gets real complicated."

I sat and put my head in my hands.

"What am I gonna do if the kid is mine? I know for a fact that Erin isn't just going to take a monthly check. She won't leave me – us – alone; and most importantly, she'll stick it in Melanie's face every chance she gets."

"I don't know what to tell you man. Just hope that Erin was sleeping around when you two…" he trailed off.

Quil walked back in with a nine year-old Claire on his back.

"Banged," he finished for Embry. "We shouldn't tip-toe around it. It's happened, just move on."

"What's banged?" Claire asked.

Quil's eyes got wide, "Um, ah, Claire, go…"

"Go get Quil's wallet, she's taking you shopping," I saved Quil.

Claire's eyes lit up and ran out without of a word.

"Thanks man. You can forget about that beating you were supposed to get." Quil fist-bumped me and walked out again.

Embry was about to say something when my phone went off. I looked at the caller ID and it was an unknown number.

I flipped it open, "Um, hello?"

"Hello, are you Jacob Black?" the voice asked me.

"Ah, yeah. Who's asking?"

There were voices in the background but I couldn't make them out.

"Yes, Jacob, I'm Sue. Erin's mother."

So here we were – my family, Jake's dad and Erin's mom, were all here in my house.

I remember Mrs. Cole well. Like I'd said before, Erin and I used to be really close friends before she started to get jealous of me.

Mrs. Cole was prim and proper and if you didn't know better, you'd think she was the Queen of England. She sure acted like she was.

We all sat in the living room and the tension was thick.

Mrs. Cole was drinking her tea as we waited for her to speak. Erin sat beside her and rubbed her flat stomach.

I rolled my eyes and snuggled closer to Jake. She might be carrying his baby, but I have him and that's all that matters. Soon we'd have our own kid to love.

Erin's mother put down her cup and saucer with a soft clink. Everyone either woke up – Jake – or straightened him or herself.

"So Jacob, what do you plan to do to take care of this baby?" she asked.

Jake cleared his throat and was about to speak when Billy interrupted him.

"We're planning on making 500 dollar payments every month as child support; for now that is. It could increase as the child gets older."

Mrs. Cole huffed, "My daughter and my grandchild will not live on a measly 500 dollars a month! I demand that the payment be increased."

Jake's mouth fell open while Billy looked calm. But I could tell he was angry by the way he gripped the armrests of his wheelchair.

Erin looked at her mother, "Mom, um, Jacob's going to have partial custody. I think 500 is enough, if anything too much."

The look that her mother threw Erin could have cooled lava. She shrunk in her seat and Mrs. Cole turned back to Billy.

"I will not let this… this… redskin savage take care of my grandchild. You will have no custody of this child as long as I am breathing."

My eyes widened at the racial slur that Mrs. Cole threw at the Blacks.

I looked at my parents and they looked cool but the tension in their bodies told me otherwise. I looked at my sisters and their expressions mimicked mine, shocked.

I swear, if Billy could walk he would have went right over there and punched the woman in the face. So he did the next best thing, he rolled on over – and since she was sitting – looked her in the eye.

I knew Billy was about to throw some very bad words at Mrs. Cole but my dad wheeled him back over to his spot.

The two fathers shared a look and Billy nodded.

My father sat down and said, "Sue, after all that we've been through, can't you give the Blacks a break? They have a lot going on."

Mrs. Cole's – excuse me, Sue's – gaze softened as she looked at my father. My mom told me back when they were my age she and Mrs. Cole fought for my dad's heart. Obviously my mom won, but Mrs. Cole was still bitter.

"I have nothing against you Jack," she purred – yes, purred, as in a cat (she's human by the way) – "It's the Blacks I have a problem with."

She turned back to Jacob, "You are nothing but a womanizer; and you, sweet, sweet Melanie, have shown better judgment than this! He gets my daughter pregnant while you two were together, yet you are still with him."

She shook her head like she pitied me, "Erin's awfully quiet. How about she tell you what happened that night," my mom said.

Erin's eyes widened and I smiled. Erin was never able to lie to her mother, and when she tried she was always caught.

Mrs. Cole's eyes narrowed at my mother but she did look towards Erin. "I didn't hear the story Erin, tell me, what happened? He didn't… rape you did he?"

Erin looked at me as if I was going to help her, I wasn't.

I saw the look in her eyes then, I knew exactly what she was going to say. I tried to convey her with my eyes.

Don't say it Erin, I thought in my head.

She looked down into her lap, "Yes mother, he did rape me."

Jacob shot up, "Like hell I did!"

I tried to pull Jake back down but he was too strong. He walked over to Erin and grabbed her by the shoulders, "Tell them the truth, I didn't rape you!"

Mrs. Cole started to swat at Jacob, "Stop it! You're hurting her. Let her go this instant before I press charges!"

I took a hold to his bicep, "Come on Jake. Calm down."

He froze, "Why Erin, why are you doing this to me?"

Erin started to cry, it was because she was feeling guilty, but thinking otherwise Mrs. Cole took a hold of her shoulders.

"Look what you've done! You've upset her. It's okay dear, everything will be fine."

She rubbed her back soothingly.

My family had been pretty quiet so I looked towards them, "Do something Dad."

He sighed, "Sue, I assure you that Jacob did not rape Erin."

She glared at my father, "Are you saying that my daughter is a liar?"

Ana yelled, "Hell yes! You think you're daughter's perfect but she's not! She's a manipulative bitch who will sleep with anything that moves!"

"How dare you say something like that?! I've raised my daughter the right. She would never do the things that you're accusing her of." Mrs. Cole replied.

"I don't even know if it's my kid!" Jake yelled.

Mrs. Cole stood up and tried to size up Jacob, she failed horribly, being only five foot while Jake was 6'2.

"I've heard enough from you young man. Say your good-byes because hopefully by the end of the week, you'll be in jail."

Thanks to my reviewers: (OMG, 9 reviews for one chapter! You guys are freaking awesome!)

Yalina09 – I know right?

NOelly – Yes it can happen, and it will! Muhahaha! *cough*Twit-Tard – Aw, I'm sad Jacob didn't get a say in it. But it's one of those things where you're talking about the person and when they try to interrupt, you're all like, 'This doesn't concern you.'

Twit-Tard - Aw, I'm sad that Jacob didn't get a say in it. But it's one of those things where you're talking about the person but when they ask you're all like, 'This doesn't concern you.'

x3sunnydaay – Ah, that's my goal in life.
