Hey peeps, sorry for the long wait. College has started back up for me and it is going to be a busy semester. I will try to update as much as I can, I won't abandon my stories. Thanks for all the reviews and support! You all are awesome!
I don't own Twilight or the characters.
This chapter has skipped ahead another two months and Leah is eight months pregnant.
"You sure that you want to go visit Sam? I don't want you trying to bite his head off," Jacob asked as he tied my shoe. My stomach was huge and I couldn't even bend over to put my shoes on. I hated being helpless and my moods proved that I didn't like people waiting on me hand and foot. My mother finally got her kitchen redone and moved back into her house. Seth was ecstatic to move back into his own room. I decided to stay with Jacob because I had gotten used to having him around. Yes, he got on my nerves sometimes because he was still way too overprotective. I felt sorry for A'Liyah, she probably would never get to go on a date.
" I think I'm good to go. I guess I can be nice to him today, he's already in pain," I said rubbing my stomach. Emily had left Sam a month a go and went back to the Makah reservation. He couldn't break the imprint when he went away to Seattle so he came back early. He came back to La Push to find Emily gone. She wrote him a three page letter trying to ease the pain she knew she was causing him. Sam was a complete mess and it was a terrible thing to see. The guy had broken my heart into tiny pieces and I had every right to laugh in his face, but I didn't. I just couldn't find it in me to laugh at him and tell him 'that's what you get'. I could be cruel but to see someone suffering like Sam was really put a cap on my cruelness. I actually felt bad for him and that was something out of my character. The pack visited Sam as often as we could. He had already threatened suicide and everyone was trying to keep an eye on him. My mother went over to check on him everyday. She forced him to eat and sat and talked with him. He was downright depressed and needed all the support he could get.
" Alright. You need help getting up," Jacob asked holding out his hands. I swatted his hands away and attempted to get off the bed.
I looked up at Jacob and smiled. " Can you help me please?"
"Nope." Jacob turned to walk out the door.
"Jake!"
"I was just kidding gosh," Jacob pulled me up gently by my arms. " You look like you're about to pop any day now."
" What's that suppose to mean? Are you saying I look fat or something? Does this shirt make me look really big?" I pulled at my t-shirt, which only made it stretch out more.
" No you don't look fat. I mean you're pregnant so people understand," Jacob replied. I glared at him. "Let's just go before you try to kick my ass."
" You just called me fat."
" No I didn't Lee. I think this pregnancy is making you delusional. You look beautiful," Jacob said pecking my cheek. He grabbed my hand and led me out the house.
Sam had not cleaned his house since Emily left. The tables were covered in dust and the floors hadn't been mopped. Not only was the house a mess, but Sam wasn't looking to shabby himself. He had large bags under his eyes and his hair was a mess. I had never seen Sam so…weak.
" Hey Sam how you feelin," Jacob asked as we sat on the couch that was covered in paper.
" Same way I felt a month a go. Like absolute shit," Sam mumbled.
" It'll get better man. Just hang in there," Jacob replied.
Sam let out a deep sigh and plopped down in a recliner. " It's easier said than done Jake."
"Have you heard from her," I asked.
Sam clenched his jaw. " She called yesterday to see how I'm doing. She really has some nerve ya know. Does she honestly think I'm doing okay? I don't know how much longer I can take this feeling. It hurts like hell and Emily just doesn't get it. I wanted to break the imprint, but I couldn't. I thought she would be here when I got back, I just knew she wouldn't leave me here. I can't blame her though. No one should be forced to stay with someone."
"It's not your fault Sam. Emily is just being a bitch," I said.
Sam's leaned forward in the recliner. " Don't call her that."
"I'm just calling it how I see it Sam. Only an evil bitch would do what Emily did to you," I spat.
"Don't call her that!" Sam's voice boomed throughout the small house.
" Sam you need to calm down, she's pregnant," Jacob put a hand on my back.
" I'm just stressed out. Where the hell do I go now? My life is over," Sam buried his head in his hands.
" We know you're stressed out, but you really don't need to take it out on me. We are trying to help you-"
"Lee," Jacob rubbed his hand down my back. " You need to calm down too. Is there anything you need from the pack Sam?"
"No. There is nothing you all can give me to make me feel better. Your support is good enough," Sam replied. He rubbed his scruffy face and sat back against the recliner. He looked like he hadn't slept in days.
" Just hang in there man. We're here if you need anything. Always remember we're a pack and we have each other's back," Jacob said standing up. He pulled me up from the couch and steadied me.
" Thanks." Sam's eyes glazed over and he stood. He gave us one last look before storming off into the bathroom.
"Do you think he'll be okay," I asked Jacob.
"I don't know. He seems pretty down."
I could hear Sam breaking down in the bathroom. I waddled over to the door and knocked lightly. " Sam?"
"I'll be fine, just go," Sam said.
" Come on Lee, I think he just needs time alone. I'll send Embry and Seth over to check on him later," Jacob said pulling me by my hand.
" Wow Emily has really fucked him up. Is it weird that I actually feel bad for him," I asked as we pulled off.
"No, we all feel bad. I mean he is your ex and I know you still care about him. And that's okay to still care. It doesn't bug me if that's what you're thinking."
" I don't want you to think I'm going to run back to him since there's no more Emily. I care but I'm not in love with him," I replied.
Jacob chuckled. "I know you're not in love with him Leah. What are you tripping out about? It's okay to feel bad, I didn't expect you to laugh in his face."
"I feel like I should though. Karma got'em good."
" Yea it did and I think he knows that. He knows he hurt you and you had to see him happy. Now the tables have turned and he has to see you happy. I know it bothers him because I can see it in his thoughts when we patrol," Jacob explained.
" I wonder if the imprint will break eventually."
" It might if Emily stays away long enough. It will be a very painful time for Sam though. I might ask Quil if it is possible for the imprint to break itself. I just got lucky that Nessie accepted another Alpha's imprint. I didn't have to go through the withdrawal pain as long as Sam has been going through it."
" Are you glad that the imprint broke," I asked.
" Of course I am. Why'd you ask that?"
" I don't know. I guess I was just wondering if you wish it didn't break sometimes. I know I drive you crazy," I said. Uh oh, pregnancy hormones.
" You do drive me crazy. But it's worth it though. I would rather be with someone because I want to be with them, not because I have to be with them," Jacob said massaging my hand.
" You're just saying that."
"No I'm not. I really do mean that Leah," Jacob glanced over at me.
" When I have these babies, I'm going back to my old self. I can't stand being a softy," I replied.
" I like this Leah better, but I wouldn't mind having the feisty she-wolf back. Just no kicking me in the balls, I don't miss that."
"I won't kick you in the balls. I might want more kids with you," I said.
" You want more kids?"
"I wouldn't mind, but I want to plan out the next pregnancy. No more surprises."
"You really want more kids with me?"
" Didn't I just say I did? I wouldn't mind having one more. I've always wanted a big family," I replied.
" Family huh? Did you ever think you would be having my children? It's crazy." Jacob gave my hand a squeeze.
" Nope. If someone would have told me that I was going to be with you two years a go, I would have puked."
" Damn, I'm that repulsive," Jacob asked.
" You were back then. I just didn't like how you chased after Bella, it used to annoy the hell out of me. Plus you used to always pick at me and hurt my feelings sometimes."
"I used to hurt your feelings? Why didn't you tell me that back then?"
"You wouldn't have cared anyway Jacob. You were an ass. Well sometimes you still are," I said.
" I apologize for being an ass and hurting your feelings," Jacob replied with a laugh. "You hurt my feelings sometimes too."
"What did I do to you?"
" You broke up with me."
" I'm sorry about that. I just…I got scared. I didn't want to chance you breaking my heart."
" I won't, that's something you don't have to worry about." Jacob caressed my cheek and turned his attention back to the road.
After dropping me off at the house, Jacob went to patrol with Paul and Jared. He sent Quil to baby-sit me while Seth and Embry checked on Sam.
"Are you scared it's gonna hurt," Quil asked me.
"Scared what's gonna hurt." I stuffed my mouth with ice cream and then dipped my spoon in the jar of peanut butter.
" The babies coming out of your crotch."
" Quil shut the fuck up," I spat.
" I'm just asking a simple question."
" I think you're just being a perv as usual."
" But are you scared just a little bit?"
"Quil!" I threw a pillow at him and dug back into my ice cream.
" Sorry damn."
I inhaled the rest of the ice cream and sprawled out on the couch. I didn't even feel myself drift off into a slumber. I woke up and hour later after feeling sharp pains in my stomach. I thought the pains would subside after a while but they got worse.
"Quil?" I could barely speak.
"You okay," He asked as he ran into the living room.
"Something's wrong," I cried out. I doubled over as the pains got sharper.
" Let me phase and get Jacob." Quil ran out the back door. I felt a warm liquid rush down my leg.
Minutes later Quil returned with Jacob.
" What happened," Jacob asked touching my stomach.
"I think it's time," I replied holding my stomach.
There you have it. So the muffin making whore ducked out? Sam is in a deep depression and Leah wants more babies. Wow. I hope I get to update soon, I missed writing!
