Thanks to all my reviewers, followers, and to those who added this story to their favorites and alerts. You all make me feel special! I didn't want to keep you waiting for too long so here is Chapter 20. Wow, I am getting up there in chapters. Lol. Enjoy and review…
I do not own Twilight or the character, S. Meyer owns everything. Oh except she doesn't own this plot or the Cherokee pack. Sorry S. Meyer.
" Um we should go," I said walking towards the door. Dakota was really freaking me out and I didn't like the way everyone was staring at me.
" No Lee you have a fever and need to be checked out," Jacob grabbed my arm. I yanked out of his tight grip.
" I want to go!" I yelled storming out of the house and to the car. I was waiting in front of the door until Jacob came out and unlocked it. I slammed the door and buckled my seat belt.
" You really believe what a little baby told you," Jacob asked glancing over at me.
" He is not just a baby Jacob, he is a hybrid which probably makes him smarter than most of us," I explained getting myself all worked up.
" You could have just gotten checked out by Carlisle, but noooo you want to be difficult," Jacob sped off from the Cullen home. I knew this situation would get an argument worked up. I didn't know if I was pregnant or not, but the fact that Dakota pointed it out bugged me. He was Nessie's child after all, and she was already advanced enough. None of us were close to normal and some were far from it. I mean Edward could read minds, Jasper could change moods, and I could change into a giant wolf. So a baby detecting if I was pregnant or not would not surprise me.
" I'm sure you aren't pregnant Leah, you said you were infertile. So stop worrying about what the weird kid said," Jacob said looking in my direction again. I had my arms crossed over my chest and my attention was on the scenery outside the window. " Leah." I turned my attention to Jacob.
" You don't feel pregnant do you," Jacob asked with a worried expression. I could tell by his expression that he was not ready for a baby. Hell I wasn't either, what do I look like changing a poop filled diaper? I had to admit that I did have the symptoms of someone that was pregnant. I threw up, my appetite had increased, and those dreams kind of made sense now.
" No," I lied. If I was pregnant I could not have this baby, Jacob looked scared to death.
" Ok then. Stop the worrying will ya," Jacob grabbed my hand and held it tightly. I slowly nodded my head and swallowed the lump growing in my throat. The thought of having a baby was imprinted in my head. Would Jacob bail out on me, how would the pack react? I didn't really know if I was infertile, nobody knew anything about the female wolf. No one except Adahy. I remember Jacob telling me that Adahy told him a story of a female wolf. Adahy had to have some answers and I had questions.
" Leah stop zoning out," Jacob said getting out of the car. I didn't even notice we were at my house until he was at my door.
" You should visit your mother," Jacob said as we walked up to the door. I knocked lightly and Seth answered.
" Hey there stranger," he said hugging me.
" Hey knucklehead," I gave him a noogie and walked into the living room.
" I was wondering if you were ever going to come home," my mother said coming down the stairs. She pulled me in for a hug and hugged me for what seemed like forever. Ever since Billy had died, my mother was cherishing ever moment she had with us.
" Have you been holding my daughter hostage," my mother asked hugging Jake.
" Oh no, she stayed by choice," Jacob laughed.
" I'm about to go on patrol, you wanna go," Seth asked Jacob.
" I think I'm alpha, I schedule patrols. But yeah let's go. I'll be back," Jacob said giving my shoulder a squeeze. I guess goodbye kisses only happened when we were alone. My mother smiled as Jacob and Seth ran out the door.
" I'm glad to see you are happy," she said sitting on the couch. I sat next to her and felt slightly uncomfortable in the stomach area. Was I just nervous?
" Yea I am," I smiled weakly and looked down at my hands.
" Something wrong," my mother asked looking at me concerned. I twittled my thumbs and avoided eye contact. " Leah you can tell me."
I took a deep breath and prepared my self to say the P word. " I think I'm..IthinkI'mpregnant." I put all my words together. My mother raised her eyebrow.
" I didn't catch what you said."
Oh no she was making me say it again," I think I'm pregnant." I let out the breath I had been holding.
" Oh." Her face fell then suddenly lit up. "So I might have a little Leah or Jacob on the way." She hugged me tightly.
" I'm not sure yet mom. Just don't jump to conclusions and don't mention it to Jacob," I said when she let me go. I didn't want Jacob to think I was still fretting about what happened at the Cullen's.
" Well how about we got get a test and see," my mother said grabbing my hand.
" I really don't want-"
" Leah remember when you said you wanted a mother-daughter relationship? You said you wanted to have the sex talk with me and do stuff mothers and daughters do. This is that time Lee," my mother replied. Now how could I say no to her sad face?
" Ok," I said defeated.
She drug me out to the car and through the grocery store. I hid my face just in case someone from the pack happened to walk in and see me in the pregnancy test section.
" Let's get this one here, it look like a good one. We should get more than one," my mother examined the boxes slowly. Too slow for my liking, so I grabbed the box from her and stuffed it in the hand held basket.
" Ok, Ms. Crabby. Must be the pregnancy hormones kicking in," my mother joked poking at my flat stomach. How would I look walking around with a big stomach? We went to the counter to pay for the three pregnancy test. Oh damn the cashier was this girl from high school. I never really liked her because she was always crushing on Sam.
" Hey Leah, how are you and Sam," she rung up the test and put them in a bag. This reservation was a small as a pea. Surely she had heard that Sam was with Emily by now. She was always an air headed bitch. I faked a smile and I'm sure she knew it was fake.
" We are just fine, even though he is with someone else now. We have threesomes all the time," I said still smiling. The girl's face nearly dropped to the ground and my mother snickered next to me. I grabbed the bag and we walked out of the store, leaving the girl there with her mouth still ajar.
" You can be such a bitch," my mother replied as we got in the car.
" Learned from the best," I pointed to her and she smiled.
I peed on all three test. Now I sat and waited on what fate had in store for me.
" Just stay calm honey," my mother tried to stop me from pacing. Three minutes later I went back to check the test. I closed my eyes and picked up one of the white sticks.
" I'm going to be a grandma," my mother screeched before I could even look at the test. I opened my eyes and seen pink pluses on all three test. Oh my goodness, this could not be true. I wasn't ready for this, I didn't want to be a mom right now. Now was not the time, I wasn't ready.
" I'm a grandma," my mother yelled once again, when the front door opened. I threw the test behind the table where they could not be seen.
" What are you yelling about mom," Seth asked.
" Um I yelled I am a mama," my mother lied. Seth shook his head and went to the kitchen to fetch some food. I laughed at my mother's bad lie and went up to hug Jacob.
" I bet you missed me," he said looking like he wanted to kiss my lips. I couldn't tell him I was actually pregnant, not yet.
" Well Leah you go home and get some rest," my mother said kissing my cheek.
I gave her a warning look and headed for the door. " Bye mom. Bye Seth," I yelled out.
" See ya," Seth yelled back.
" Your mom was not yelling out she was a mama. I heard what she said Lee," Jacob said as soon as we drove off.
" No you didn't. Your wolf ears are deceiving you," I lied pulling at his ears.
" No they aren't, I heard her."
Dammit how do I fix this? " I told her about what Dakota did, she thinks I'm pregnant."
" Well are you?" Jacob raised a questioning eyebrow.
" No." I blurted out. I really hated lying to him.
" Good. I'm not ready for the whole kid thing yet," Jacob wiped his forehead. Oh no, he didn't even want a kid right now.
When we got back to the house I went straight for the bedroom. I was tired as hell and my day had worn me out. Jacob climbed in bed next to me and laid on his back.
" The Cherokee pack has been on our territory, wonder what the hell they want," Jacob said.
" I don't know," I replied. My mind was too preoccupied with the news I had gotten
" You seem distant, you alright," Jacob asked hovering over me.
" I'm fine," I lied.
" When you decide you want to talk about whatever's bugging you, tell me," Jacob pecked my lips and laid back down.
" I love you," I whispered and snuggled into his neck. I don't know what made me want to hold him closer right about now. I guess I should hold him now, because when he found out I was pregnant he would leave.
" I love you too," he kissed my forehead and put his arm around me.
I woke up in the middle of the night from another nightmare. I got out of the bed not even making Jacob budge. I couldn't take this, I had to talk to Adahy. I put on some sweatpants and snuck out the front door. I dialed Nessie's number and waited until she picked up.
" Leah," she answered frantically. What was wrong with her these days?
" I need to talk to Adahy, can you have him meet me in the woods."
" Lwah," I heard Dakota in the background.
" Ok, I will tell him," Nessie said quickly hanging up the phone.
About three minutes later I felt warm hands around my waist and warm breath in my ear.
" We meet again," Adahy kissed my cheek and tightened his grip on me.
There you go, the suspense is killing me too. Lol. So Leah is pregnant but won't tell Jacob. How rude of her. And how creepy is Adahy? Reviews are always welcome and make my day. Sorry that this chapter is a little short.
