Chapter 72

I didn't know whether to cry or shout for joy. So I paced. I paced my tiny apartment, waiting for Kaase to get home. I glanced at the clock, it was seven. He got off at six, came home, showered in his own apartment then would make his way over to mine. I finally sat down but I couldn't stop fidgeting.

After what seemed like forever but was really a couple minutes Kaase strode through the door. He smiled, "Did you go to the doctor?"

I smiled, "I did." I got up and made my way over to his arms. I seemed to be ever more aware of where my stomach was.

"What did he say?" He pulled back from our embrace to look me in the eyes. His were sparked with concern.

I grinned, unable to hold my excitement down anymore. "I'm pregnant."

"What?" He whispered, a smile spreading slowly across his face.

I felt tears prick my eyes, I giggled, "I'm pregnant."

Without warning he picked me up and spun me around, I laughed fighting the sudden dizzy spell. His deep laugh echoed through the house. He set me down, grinning from ear to ear, "Leah this is great!"

"So you're happy?"

"What kind of question is that?" He laughed, hugging me again. "I've never been so excited in my life!"

"But what will your parents think?"

His smile dropped and I immediately regretted bringing that up. Then his smile returned, bigger than ever. "Let's get married this weekend!"

My jaw dropped, "Five days?!"

"Why not?" He whispered, completely serious. He wrapped his arms gently around my waist. "We love each other, what's the point of waiting? This way we don't have to cause a huge disturbance with my family."

I nodded, "A plus."

"Yeah!" He was almost bouncing up and down with excitement. I had to laugh. I ran my hand through my hair, bewildered. Married in five days?

"I have to call my mom." I let out a small laugh, "I haven't even told her about the engagement."

I have to say my mom wasn't very happy about not finding out sooner. But after I convinced her it was all spontaneous and being imprints basically meant we would be together forever she calmed down. I got her permission to use her dress since I had no time to get my own. She'd head up tomorrow morning to help me with the invitations.

"Now your parents." I muttered after I hung up the phone.

"We should tell them in person." Kaase warned, mouth full of a ham sandwich. "They'd take that better."

"Should I call them and make plans for tomorrow night?" I asked. "Tonight's the last night of the full moon."

Kaase nodded, taking another bite of his dinner. So I called his mom, making plans to meet them at their house for dinner tomorrow night. After I hung up I sat down next to Kaase at the table, wrapping my arms around him. "I love you." I whispered

"Evidently," He chuckled, kissing the top of my head.

His parents greeted us warmly the next night but I could tell they were suspicious. "I'm so glad we could get together with you two again. How's your brother, Leah?"

I remembered my ruse from Sunday, "Oh he will be alright. Thanks for asking."

Kaase and I decided to have a pleasant meal with them before revealing the news. Ma was an amazing cook. I don't know if my increase in hunger was more physical or mental but I ate more than I have been since I went mundane again.

"So," Kaase started, placing an arm casually around my shoulders. "Leah and I have been talking and we decided we can't wait any longer." He paused. "We want to get married this weekend." Kaase grinned and I joined him, hoping for the best.

They just stared at us. Then pa spoke, pointing a shaky finger at me. "She's pregnant isn't she?" he growled.

I glanced at Kaase, his lips were pursed together. The elder Kaase slammed both fists on the table, making the dishes clatter. He stood quickly, chair toppling to the ground. Ma covered her face with her hands.

"How irresponsible and rebellious can you be Kaase? You barely know this woman, you sleep with her and now you're marrying her! You've known her for what, two months? What have you gotten yourself into?" Kaase Sr.'s face was beet red as he roared at his son, pointing a finger at me like I was some unclean Satan worshiper.

Kaase stood abruptly, a look of fury on his face, "How dare you talk about her like that!? You have no idea the feelings I feel for Leah! I love her more than my life! I can't go a day without her! Do you understand love that strong?" He hissed at his father, his ears beginning to point at the top. "For your damn information she was told she couldn't have children! You have no idea how happy Leah and I are about this but you have to be so damn stubborn and rotten to us! Why can't you celebrate like normal people would?"

Kaase Sr. was shaking. "Get out." He whispered.

Kaase sighed, "Ma?"

She shook her head, not making eye contact with Kaase.

Kaase ground his teeth. "C'mon Leah." He muttered to me. I stood quickly and followed him out the door.

"Kaase…" I whispered.

"It's fine Leah." He muttered, starting the truck. But I knew it wasn't.

So if you were thinking that Kaase's parrent's reaction was a little extreme… well for my family it would be normal. My dad/uncle/grandpa would all act the same way if something like this happened in our family. *sighs*
