Thank you soooo much for the reviews! I always hate to keep you all waiting, but I am trying to plan out the rest of the story. I know for sure there will be a sequel. So here is Chapter 38. Thanks again! This chapter is all in Leah's POV.
I do not own Twilight or the characters.
I woke up early the next morning. My stomach felt uneasy and my chest felt a little heavy. I got up and slowly opened the door so I would not wake Jacob up. I could here light snores coming from the couch. I smirked at the sight of Jacob sleeping. His arms hung off and his legs were too long to even put on the couch. I hurried to the bathroom when I felt the vile rush up my chest. I almost didn't make it to the stool before the vile rushed from my mouth. I hated throwing up, the after taste was beyond disgusting. I could here heavy footsteps coming toward the bathroom.
" Need a cold towel," Jacob asked from the doorway.
I had stopped throwing up enough to actually nod my head. Jacob went to the linen closet and got a small face towel. He came back into the small bathroom and soaked the towel in freezing water. I reached for it but Jacob put it on my forehead.
" The morning sickness has not went away yet," Jacob asked as I sat on the cool bathroom floor. I wasn't sure if the sickness was gone or not.
"No."
Jacob grimaced at my short remark.
" It's getting worse actually," I said.
" Is that normal," Jacob asked leaning against the sink still holding the towel on my head. It wasn't even cold anymore.
" Yea it is. Stop worrying so much Jake," I replied hitting his arm. I was trying to lighten up the mood. Since I was going to be staying with Jacob for a little, I needed to make the best of this experience. That meant not stressing and trying to get along with Jacob. Our kids did not need to be around parents that are constantly at each other's throats.
" I'm just making sure everything is going okay. I don't know anything about this pregnancy thing," Jacob said removing the towel from my head. He laughed and threw the towel in the clothes hamper.
" I'm fine Jake. Really I am," I said standing up. I staggered a little bit because I was a little light headed.
" You call this being okay. Have a seat on the couch," Jacob held my arm at the elbow and led me back into the living room. I laid my head on the soft pillow that was still warm from Jacob laying on it.
" I know you are hungry. What do you want for breakfast," Jacob asked.
" So what are you trying to call me fat or something," I asked with a smirk on my face.
" No but pretty soon you will be," Jacob ducked from my fist. " What did you want?"
" I can fix myself something to eat. I'm pregnant not disabled," I replied getting up and heading to the kitchen. If I let Jacob fix me something to eat, it would be like it was when we were together. Although, I liked when we were together. Be tough Leah, be tough.
" Just because we aren't together doesn't mean I can't fix you something to eat," Jacob said as if he read my mind. I shook my head and opened the fridge.
" Leah would you just sit down and rest?"
" No! I can fix myself something to eat. Damn, stop breathing down my fucking neck," I yelled. Jacob's eyes widened at my change in mood. I even think he tried to hold back a laugh. He simply just sat at the kitchen table and watched me fix a bowl of Fruit Loops. I turned to see Jacob staring at me. " What?"
" Nothing. I'm just trying to stay back before you go postal on me," Jacob replied with a laugh. I sat down across from him and dug into my cereal.
" I won't go postal but I can't promise I might cause some damage," I said with my mouth full.
" It's not polite to talk with a full mouth," Jacob said shaking a finger at me.
" That's what she said," I replied throwing back my head in laughter.
" Well I am glad you find yourself amusing Clearwater," Jacob said.
I nodded and continued to stuff cereal in my mouth. It felt good to actually laugh with Jake without the arguments.
" Well I am going to head over to Embry's. You wanna come," Jacob asked getting up from the table.
" No I'll stay here. This place needs a little cleaning," I said looking around scrunching my nose up.
" Hey don't diss my house. But be careful and don't overwork yourself."
" Okay daddy." I rolled my eyes. I noticed a smirk forming on Jacob's face. " And I didn't mean that in a sexual way if that's what you are thinking."
" No I wasn't thinking that. We are friends. Right?"
" Yea of course," I said. Jacob smiled and headed towards the front door.
" I will be back later." He closed the door behind him. I put my face in my hands and let out a groan. I had to admit Jacob was looking damn good in his tight white tee. I shook dirty thoughts out of my head.
After straightening up the house I kicked back and watched television. Not that anything good was on at this time of the day. I sighed and dialed my mother's number on my cell.
" Is everything going okay. Do I need to call the police," my mother asked frantically. I laughed at her automatic panic attack.
" No mother I am fine."
" Oh okay good. So Jacob is still alive?"
I rolled my eyes. " Mother yes he is. Why are you panicking? You are going to make yourself sick."
" I'm sorry. I just worry about you two sometimes. So what are you doing," I could here pots and pans clattering in the background.
" Watching TV. I just got done cleaning up too."
" You aren't over doing it are you Leah? You need to think about those two babies growing inside of you. I want my grandkids to have ten fingers and toes."
I chuckled. " I'm sure they will mom. And I am being careful. Jacob already gave me the speech. I don't need to hear it again."
"Jacob is just watching out for the babies' safety and your safety too," my mother said. She always took up for Jacob, it annoyed the hell out of me.
" I know mom."
" And be nice to him Leah."
" I am being nice to him."
" I mean keep being nice to him. You know how you can be and you know how he gets. No fighting or throwing things okay," my mother replied.
" Mom stop stressing."
" I am just trying to make things right here. You two need to get over this rift and stop acting stupid. You don't want to lose him forever do you," my mother asked.
I thought about what she said. Did I really want to lose Jacob? Could I see him with another woman? Would I be okay with that?
" I'll talk to you later mom. I don't feel good," I hung the phone up and put it on the coffee table. I didn't want to answer her question, maybe because I was so hard-headed. I didn't want her to be right or make sense. A knock at the door interrupted my thoughts. I looked out the peep hole, it was Paul.
" Did Jacob send you to baby-sit me," I asked opening the door wider to let Paul in.
" No. I was just coming by to check on you," Paul sat on the couch and put his feet on the table.
" Yea okay. What do you want," I asked pushing his feet off the table.
"What? I can't come see how my pack mate is doing?"
" Um no," I said sarcastically.
" Okay you may be right. I actually came to talk to you about Emily," Paul replied.
" What about her?" I suddenly got pissed when I thought about all the crap Emily had done. If only Sam wasn't such a dumb ass, he would believe me and say fuck the imprint.
" Well I guess the whole Adahy fight started because he found Emily outside talking to him. They were in a pretty deep convo and you know how protective Sam is of Emily. So he attacked Adahy from there. But that is not the crazy part. Emily told Sam she aborted his kid. She just told him last night after the battle."
My mouth fell open. Emily actually got the guts to tell Sam that. She must have been feeling guilty and thought I was going to tell Sam first. Well I did tell him and he didn't believe me.
" So what are they going to do?"
Paul shrugged his shoulders. " I don't know. Sam is pretty livid right now, this is all so crazy. Sam told me you told him but he didn't believe you. I wouldn't have believed you either. I mean come on you are Leah Clearwater, bitch of La Push."
I punched Paul in the chest and he grimaced. " See what I mean? But anyway this whole Sam and Emily situation is pretty ugly and I had to gossip to someone about it."
" Wow gossip? Who would have known you like gossip," I laughed.
" Well I really wanted to see what you were going to say about this whole thing. Every time there is some drama going on with you and Sam it's pretty entertaining," Paul replied.
" Shut up Paul."
" Anyway what's up with you and Jake? You two still beefin or what?"
" We are fine. We can finally be friends now," I said.
" Really? Ha, that's funny. You go from fuck-buddies, to in love, to just friends. Yea and I am the Queen of England. Clearwater stop your fibbing and just admit you are still in love with him," Paul said flipping through the channels on the TV.
" First of all we were never fuck-buddies and…you need to mind your own business. What's up with you and Rachel," I asked. Paul snickered at my anger and continued to flip through channels.
" Yea right Lee. Me and Rachel are doing just fine. I just got done painting the living room the other day. The house is starting to look like a house now."
"Well that's good. How is Rachel doing?"
" Great we are trying to have a baby now actually. I guess I don't have super sperm like Jacob," Paul laughed sarcastically.
" Wow trying to make some rugrats? This should be interesting," I replied.
" Hey my kids are going to be wonderful Clearwater. I mean they will have good genes," Paul smirked.
"You are an ass. Good luck on making that baby. Does Jacob know you two are trying to conceive?"
" No. Why would we have to tell him anyway? It's none of his business until she actually gets pregnant," Paul replied.
" Then why would you tell me then? You know I could tell Jacob right?"
" But I know you wouldn't do that if I threaten to tell him about our little extravaganza," Paul winked.
I laughed. " Paul that was nothing. So what I gave you a kiss that night. I was drunk and you were the nearest guy."
" Okay fine try to deny it. I know you still want me, it's all in your eyes Clearwater," Paul said getting up and heading to the door.
" Get out Paul," I said pushing him out the door.
" Stop denying it," Paul said laughing. I shook my head and shut the door behind him. Paul's sense of humor always made me laugh, even when I wanted to kill him sometimes.
Hours later I heard the front door open.
" It smells clean in here," Jacob said taking in a deep breath.
" Thanks. I guess you never realized you own a bottle of Pine-Sol," I said clearing my dishes from the coffee table.
" Very funny Lee. Did you hear what happened with Emily and Sam?"
" Yea I think you are a little late on the news."
" Oh. That's too bad that she really did abort the baby. I thought maybe she really had not done it when you told me about it. She still sticking around too. Weird," Jacob replied.
" Well Sam can't really get rid of her. She is his imprint after all and you know how that goes."
Jacob nodded his head. " Yea I do."
We were silent for a few minutes and then I decided it was time for me to go to bed.
" I guess I should go to bed. I am a little tired," I said heading to the bedroom.
" Okay. I will be up for a while. Good night."
" Night." I went to the room and closed the door softly. I pulled the covers back and climbed in the bed. It was hard going to sleep tonight, even though I was really sleepy.
Something was definitely bugging me and I knew I had to fix it. My mother's words echoed inside my head. Do you want to lose him?
I climbed out of the bed and went back into the living room.
" Everything okay," Jacob asked looking up from his plate of food.
" I need to talk to you."
Okay so what is bugging Leah? Will this talk go as planned? And what the hell is Sam going to do about Emily? That is an odd situation and we are still not to the bottom of it. This chapter was a little more relaxed because last chapter was sort of intense (Taylor Lautner's favorite word.) I know I am not the only one who notices he says intense a lot. He is still fine so it's okay. Lol Anyway, reviews would be awesome. I always love reading what you all have to say.
