Chapter 71

"Damn it Leah, I'm taking off work to take you to the doctor." Kaase nearly yelled in the doorway of the bathroom. I had my head over the toilet, puking my guts out.

"No," I rasped.

"Yes!" He ran a hand through his hair, frustrated. "Leah, something's wrong with you."

I wiped the side of my mouth with a tissue, taking deep breaths. "I'll take myself, you don't need to miss work."

"Are you really gonna take yourself?" He questioned.

I grinned despite the woozy feeling, "Don't you trust me?"

He sighed, "Leah. . ."

"Don't worry, once my body stops trying to hurl my stomach through my mouth I'll head to the doctor."

He grimaced, "Do you have to be so graphic?"

I laughed, the motion set me off and the feeling of hot liquid running the wrong way up my throat hit me. Kaase rushed forward and held my hair for me.

"Thanks," I was able to murmur once I was finished.

He kissed my temple, "I have to go, please go to the doctor."

I heard front door shut after he walked out of the bathroom. I slumped against the bathroom wall, rubbing my forehead. The image of Carlisle continually glancing at me yesterday flashed through my head. "He knew something was wrong." I muttered to myself.

Once I had kept the contents of my stomach down for half an hour I got in my truck and headed to Forks. I must have been crazy, heading to the hospital in Forks. There were probably great doctors in Port Angeles; I could have even gone to the doc on the rez. None of those had centuries of experience though. Maybe it was because I was actually becoming close to the leeches and I trusted them. I tried not to think of that. Whatever it was drew me through the doors of the ER and up to the front desk.

The woman at the desk had a warm smile, she greeted me and I told her what was wrong. The ER in a small town hospital isn't that busy so she was able to bring me to a room where a nurse asked me questions and filled out some papers. "The doctor will be with you in a moment."

She didn't say which doctor but I found myself hoping it was Carlisle. Wow. I felt like kicking myself but I was afraid to set off another dizzy spell.

I didn't hear the footsteps in the hallway but moments later Carlisle opened the curtain with a grin on his face. "Leah Clearwater," he chuckled, "never thought I would see you in here."

"I'm glad you find my misery funny." I growled.

"I'm sorry," he apologized. "Now what seems to be the problem?"

I snorted, "I'm pretty sure you already know, I'd love it if you told me."

He chuckled, "You're right. I was wondering if you realized that when you gave me that rude gesture yesterday."

"Sorry leech." I shrugged, keeping my voice low.

He smiled, "You could have come to my house you know, saved you money."

"I try not to get personal with bloodsuckers." I replied in a monotone voice. "Now then…" I dipped my head forward for him to continue.

He grinned, "I have reasons to believe you are pregnant."

For a second I thought he was joking. "What?"

"When a woman is pregnant there are changes in her bloodstream and the way it channels, most people don't know this but after years of experience…" He shrugged, "I have learned the slight changes in the heartbeats." I wasn't sure the expression on my face but Carlisle raised an eyebrow. He reached into a cabinet behind him and pulled out a cup. "We can double check if you don't trust me."

I felt myself nod and take the cup from him, careful not to touch his skin. "The bathroom is right across the hall. He moved to open the curtain for me. I wandered across the hallway, dazed. How could this even be possible?

I entered the bathroom and pissed in the cup as directed. I couldn't even think straight, I really thought this would never be possible. I felt like I was in some strange dream and any moment it would turn into a nightmare.

I returned to my room and set the cup on the counter. I moved back over and sat on the crinkly paper on the bed. I ran my hands through my hair as I waited. My hands were shaking. A nurse came and took the cup, smiling at me. I just stared at her.

Thousands of questions ran through my heads at once making no sense at all. What would Kaase think? What would my mom think? What would Kaase's parents think? What was the child I carried? I put my hands over my stomach. It was half werewolf half shape shifter. Would my child be cursed? What if it was a girl? Would she have to go through what I went through?

Carlisle returned back to the room with a smug look on his face. "Positive," he said. "congratulations."
