Chapter 61: Unhappily Pregnant

Even though our time in NYC had been cut short, I was relieved, in a way, to be home.

Jacob and I slept in each other's arms until 7am when the alarm went off. We had set it on purpose, because we had a lot of issues which needed to be settled with Jacob's pack, the other half-vamps, and my family.

First of all, Jacob and I would have the opportunity to speak directly with Billy about us having twins. It really was inconsiderate of us to break that news to him over the phone, and I wanted to set the record straight, and make sure Billy knew what an important part of our family he was, and would continue to be. We were planning on taking Billy out to dinner to spend some quality time with him.

Then there was the whole Kanchari and Esmeralde situation. Kanchari and Robert seemed to be very much in love. She was also had been refraining from drinking blood, and was adjusting to a lifestyle of human food. Like all other imprints so far, it seemed that Kanchari's feelings for Robert were as strong as his were for her.

Esmeralde on the other hand, was pregnant, hormonal, and was now being held captive by the wolves, and demanding human blood. Kanchari had tried to intervene with her sister, and had helped bring around the uneasy truce with the wolf pack and her sister, but Esmeralde was not looking forward to becoming a mother.

Grandpa Carlisle was able to obtain several bags of O negative which he would be delivering to Esmeralde today. He explained that my mother had also craved human blood when she was pregnant. Grandpa Carlisle was also going to try to accurately assess how far along Esmeralde was with her pregnancy, and if the baby was close to being due, it may be advantageous to induce labor or give her a cesarean section, so that she could move on her way. Esmeralde was miserable being pregnant, had made it perfectly clear repeatedly that she was only with Demetri in order to become a member of the Volturi and wanted to be "rid of" the baby by any means possible, as quickly as possible

Then there was Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett, both of whom were glowing with the possibility that they would be able to raise a child together. Mom had told me once that Aunt Rosalie tried to talk her out of becoming a vampire, because she would never be able to have a child (well at that time it wasn't known that male vampires could conceive). Aunt Rosalie was overjoyed, and I was almost equally scared for her, just in case the "adoption" of Esmeralde's baby didn't happen as planned.

Jacob and I followed Grandpa Carlisle up to LaPush by 10 am. We were all lead directly to Robert's house, where Esmeralde was being held. We were greeted by Robert's mother, Natalie, who was holding up better than any human could be expected to after finding out that her son the werewolf imprinted on a half-vamp, and now was caring for the half-vamp's, pregnant sister.

Esmeralde looked quite emaciated, but she was still loud and demanding. Grandpa said to her, "I understand that you requested that I treat your pregnancy. I am probably the only physician in the world with experience in this type of pregnancy. I have obtained some blood for you."

"I don't want you to treat me or this thing inside me," Esmeralde hissed, "I want it out immediately, then you can do whatever you want with it."

Grandpa Carlisle, keeping his best professional tone responded, "I need to examine you to see how far along you are so that I can determine our course of action."

"Blood first, then exam," Esmeralde snapped back. Natalie, looking repulsed, returned to the room with a large glass filled with blood that she had heated in the microwave. Esmeralde snatched it from her hands, and guzzled it.

"I would now like to proceed with my examination," Grandpa said. She nodded, and called to Natalie to bring her a second glass of blood.

Grandpa carefully examined Esmeralde, and then said, "It appears that you are nearly full term. It would be possible for me to deliver the baby today, but I want you to come back with me to our house. I have more hospital equipment there, and it would be safer for both you and the baby."

"As long as you get this baby out of me as soon as possible, I don't care where you take me," she snapped.

"There is just one issue that I want to be perfectly clear with you on, before I bring you to my home. According to Leah, you do not want the baby, is that correct," Grandpa said in his best clinical voice.

"Yes, that is true; I just want it out of me. Leah told me your family would keep it, raise it, you can have it if you want, I never wanted to be a mother," she growled through clenched teeth.

"We will take the baby," Grandpa Carlisle promised, "and will raise it as a member of the Cullen family. I ask that once you are physically able to leave this area that you do so, and that you do not return. We want to raise the baby as a member of our family; can you agree to that."

"As long as you get this thing out of me, you will never see me again," Esmeralde promised. With that condition established, Robert and Kanchari assisted Esmeralde into Grandpa's car. Seth rode along with them for added protection back to the house. Jacob and I stayed behind to take Billy out to dinner.

Billy, Jacob and I went to eat at The Lodge, and we met up with Grandpa Charlie and Grandma Sue there. They were all excited about my pregnancy, although Grandpa Charlie seemed more disturbed than anyone else. He kept mumbling "need to know," throughout the conversation at dinner.

During dinner, I received a text message from my Mom stating "Esmeralde had a baby girl. The baby is doing fine, and Esmeralde has already left the house, despite Grandpa recommending she stay overnight. Aunt Rose and Uncle Em are ecstatic. The baby is venomous, and is trying to bite everyone in the house. Jacob and you will need to stay away from her, at least for now. Meet us at the cottage when you come back."
