Sorry for the delay. I had a bad case of writer's block with some of my stories. Hate it when that happens. Writing one-shots helped out a lot, so hopefully this is not painful to read. This is just a filler by the way, not really a full chapter. For those of you reading Horizon I will try really hard to update it tonight as well.
I don't own Twilight or the characters.
Aside from having a huge headache, my back was killing me. I wasn't even huge yet, but it was so difficult to sleep with this little bump. I kicked the covers off and laid sprawled out on the bed, hoping air would hit my body somehow. Too bad dad had taken my ceiling fan away when I was younger. I used to throw objects in it and watch them fly around the room. I sighed at the thought of my dad. It would be so much easier with him here, at least I would have him to talk to about Jake. Jake. I finally gave up on the thought of going back to sleep so I got up and headed down to the kitchen.
The scent of bacon and buttermilk waffles filled the stairwell. Charlie must be over, mom only cooked bacon for him. No one else in this house really liked bacon, well when Jacob came over he ate a whole package.
" You are up early for once," Seth said as I walked into the kitchen.
" I get up early occasionally. Good morning everyone," I said sitting in between Seth and Charlie.
" Morning Lee," Charlie replied with a slight smile. He got nervous when he was around me and Seth. Maybe he thought we would phase and rip him a part for eying our mother the way he did. They claimed to be just friends, but sometimes I wondered why she was always over his house. It wasn't for food because Charlie could not cook a lick. I remember going his house with my dad when I was little. Charlie could not even cook Minute Rice, it always came out looking like clumps.
" Did you get any sleep honey," my mother asked while stirring the waffle mix.
" Meh, not really," I replied getting up to help her. She placed her hand on my baby bump and gave it a small pat. " What are you going to name them?"
" I'm not sure yet. I should really think about that soon huh?"
" You should name them Seth and Michelle," Seth replied. I rolled my eyes and laughed.
"Anything dealing with your name? I suppose Michelle is supposed to stand for your middle name Michael?" I asked placing some more bacon in the skillet.
" Duh Lee," Seth stated sarcastically.
" Shut up."
" Name one after Jacob," Charlie said. The kitchen fell silent and smiles faded. " Did something happen to Jake or something?"
" No him and Lee are just not getting along at the moment," Seth explained to Charlie.
" Sorry. I have a habit of saying the wrong things at the wrong time," Charlie said turning red.
"It's fine Charlie. Trust me I do it all the time too. No one never knows what Leah and Jacob are doing," my mother said laughing and pouring the waffle mix onto the waffle griddle. I bit down on my tongue so I would not say something disrespectful.
" So when will the food be ready," Seth asked trying to break the tension. Bless my little brother's heart, he always broke the tension with more awkwardness. Clearly he could see us cooking, so what was the point of asking that question? He knew waffles did not take that long to cook, he often cooked some himself.
Breakfast was great, well my waffles were. The conversation at the table was just plain weird and I put all the attention on my food. My mother flirted with Charlie, while he tried to play it off and not flirt back. I would rather not know what his reaction was to her flirting when they were alone. I thought about calling Jacob to tell him the news of what Emily did, but I realized that would not be a good idea. Sure he was Alpha and he needed to know first, but us talking would probably not go well at this point. I excused myself from the table and went up to my room to call Sam.
The phone rang three times before I got an answer, usually Sam picked up on the first ring when I called.
" Yes Lee," He said.
" Le-ah. Um I kind of need to tell you something. Something that might be putting the pack in danger."
" Why are you telling me and not Jake?" I knew he would ask that, and it was a question I really didn't feel like answering.
"We are not really on speaking terms right now. But none of that is your business so I will go on with what I was calling to tell you. Um…I don't even know how to start this," I said pacing around my room. Although I could not really stand Sam sometimes, this news was hard to tell him. I mean, who would want to tell someone that their wife cheated on them with the enemy? Ok, so maybe I should feel good that Sam is about to be broken, but I was not feeling that way. Did I actually have feelings? Wow, I was changing for the worse.
" Okay, well Emily is the one that is putting the pack in trouble," I said waiting on a reply so I could continue.
" Emily?"
"Yes your wife with the scar," I replied. There goes old Leah, I still had it in me.
"Oh. Wait just a minute." I heard a door shut. I assumed that Emily was there and probably wondering what we were talking about.
" Ok, now what did you say about Emily?"
" She had a fling with Adahy. Or she used to have a fling with him and she has been seeing him often" I hope this didn't sound made up because I felt weird repeating it.
" I don't have time for your nonsense Leah," Sam said sighing.
I let out a deep breath. " It might sound like a lie, but it surely isn't one. I need you to tell Jacob for me, Adahy could be in close perimeters."
" I won't deliver such nonsense Leah."
" Look Sam, your little muffin making wife is not who she comes off to be. Believe me or not, but you will deliver this message to Jacob. I don't have time to argue with you," I replied. I knocked my jewelry box off my desk to stop from phasing right here in this room.
" Who told you this?"
" Emily told me," I was getting beyond irritated.
" Ok."
" Ok? That's it, that is seriously all you are going to say? Sam this is serious, it's not something you should be taking lightly."
" Leah I think you need to get some rest, you must be tired because this sounds ridiculous," Sam said.
"You know Sam? Fuck you. I don't have time to go back and forth with you about this," I hung up and dialed Jacob's number.
I heard him pick up the phone but he didn't say anything.
" Hellooo?" I said into the receiver, knowing that Jacob was at the other end.
" What do you want Leah," Jacob asked nonchalantly. So I expected him to act like an ass, hey he is Jacob Black after all.
" I was calling to let you know some news that might help us get Adahy."
" Ooookay."
I rolled my eyes and bit down on my tongue. I better stop doing that or I was going to bite a huge hole in it. " Emily has a past with Adahy and she has been seeing him off and on recently. I know she knows where he is but it's going to be hard to get it out of her. So what do you suggest?"
" I'm on my way over there," Jacob said hanging up. So I guess that was payback for me hanging up on Sam.
Ten minutes later Jacob had arrived. My mother, Seth and Charlie told me that they would be waiting by the phone in case 911 needed to be called. They assumed Jacob was the one that would be in dire need of an ambulance.
" We can go up to my room," I said leading Jacob up the steps. I was positive there was going to be nothing happening on my bed today.
" So what were you saying about Emily?" Jacob sat on the edge of my bed.
" Emily came over last night and told me that she got an abortion.' Jacob's eyes widened.
" Why would she do that," Jacob asked.
"She said she couldn't have Sam's baby because of all she has done. But I think that the baby is Adahy's, why else would she abort her baby?"
Jacob shrugged his shoulders. An awkward silence filled the room and Jacob looked down at the floor.
" You aren't thinking about aborting our kids are you," Jacob asked looking up at me.
" No, why would I do that?"
"Since we aren't together I wondered if you thought about it."
" Do you not want the kids or something," I asked insulted.
"No no. That's not what I'm saying. I was just making sure you weren't going down that path. Just because we aren't together I will still be here helping you. That includes going to all you check up appointments and buying diapers and stuff. I won't be the one to abandon my kids. I helped make them, so I will help take care of them.'
" Thanks."
" Well try to get some more information out of Emily and I will call the rest of the pack and tell them we need to patrol more. We are already patrolling double time but apparently that's not enough."
" I can tell you Sam is not going to listen. I called him and told him and he is acting like he doesn't believe me," I replied.
" Well that is his own fault. I will just tell him we are patrolling more and not mention Emily."
" So you want me to patrol now?"
" Once a week and that's it. Don't even ask me for more shifts because the answer is no," Jacob said firmly. I really felt like kicking him for being such an ass, but what is the point of arguing with him.
" Fine."
" Ok, call me if you hear anything else," Jacob said heading towards the door. " Thanks for letting me know by the way."
" Anything to protect the people."
Jacob nodded before walking out of my bedroom. I sat back on my bed and pulled a pillow into my stomach.
Sorry this is so short but it is just a filler. I am trying to outline the next chapter now. So hopefully I can post it soon. Thanks for the reviews and patience.
