AN: Yes, here comes the news from Embry's perspective. This story is getting juicy with every aspect that happens.

Change

Embry's POV

I had noticed that Madison's body had been changing for the past few weeks. At first, I thought that it was the fact that we didn't spend as much time together after her accident. Her hips were rounder and her small breast, were getting fuller. She had a special glow about her. She looked even more perfect and more beautiful than before.

We tried to be together as often as possible, but her family was constantly butting in our alone time. I only got to see her from afar, because her brothers were orbiting around her like fucking planets. I was getting tired of sneaking through her window, only to kiss her good night and have quick sex.

I felt lonely at night without her. She had become my security blanket. Being around her made my heart feel at peace. Being around her was all I needed to have a calm and restful sleep. It is hard to describe how attached I was to her. Being away from her made me uneasy and worried. I was constantly thinking of her. I needed to call her ever thirty minutes to make sure that she was alright. It may sound possessive, but I was afraid that something could happen to her.

It was great when they all left back to Chicago. It gave us time to reconnect in every aspect. We were like fucking newlyweds. All we did was make love, nonstop. We had christened every room in her house! She was horny and so was I. There was no stopping two hormone stricken teenagers. Don't get me wrong; I love her more than anything! She was my world and my universe, but she was never satisfied. She demanded more and more, it didn't bother me. But then I noticed that her scent was changing. It was more alluring and I wanted her even more. I was like a fucking animal, relying on his damn instincts. I needed to feel her writhe underneath me. I wasn't satisfied, until she bucked from a blissful orgasm.

It was one night before patrolling, when everything changed. Sam took a whiff at my clothes and pulled me aside.

"Embry," he began, pacing around in front of me.

"Yes, Sam, what's up?" I asked him casually.

"Um, have you had sex with Madison?" he asked bluntly and worriedly. I tried hard to refrain of any sexual thought when I was in my wolf form. I didn't want the pack to know what I did in the intimacy with my girl. It was my personal business and I wanted it to stay that way.

"Why do you ask, Sam?" I asked, this time getting a little edgy. I didn't feel like discussing my private life with him. "Why do you need to know if I made love to my girlfriend?"

"I need to know, Embry. It's imperative that you tell me, so we can prevent any unplanned pregnancy." he said, his face solemn.

"Yes," I answered, nodding my head embarrassedly. "We have been having sex for a while."

"Did you notice anything changing about her?" he asked intrigued. What the fuck was going on? Why was he interested in my baby girl? Wasn't he getting enough from Emily?

"Like what?" I asked curtly, feeling my anger bubbling inside me.

"Well," he paused, turning to face me. "Like her scent. Has it changed in the past few days?" he asked concerned.

I thought about it for awhile. I did notice that her scent had changed and that she smelled so damn good to me. I wanted to make love to her every time that I saw her.

"Yes!" I said excitedly. "Why? Why do you need to know?"

"Embry, your girlfriend is fertile when she smells like your clothes smells tonight." he said, his cheeks growing red as he spoke.

"Fertile?" I asked him confused.

"She is in heat, Em. If you don't use any kind of protection while having sex, she could end up pregnant." he said seriously, as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "If her scent gets real sweet, she is already pregnant. Let's hope that she is not, for your sake's and hers."

All I thought about that night was of the possibility of Madison being pregnant. I wasn't scared. I would man up and take care of my child. I wasn't going to be like the fucking dick that got my mother pregnant. I wasn't a coward and a fucking ass that would run away from his duties. I would never leave a child of mine abandoned. It was against my upbringing and morals.

I would care for Madison if I had to. I would drop out of school and continue with the job I had at the construction company to help out with the bills and expenses that came with having a baby. I was too focused on thinking about future possibility that I didn't noticed the strange and unfamiliar scent that Jacob and Quil had picked up around Madison's house.

"Embry," Quil said in my head. "Something is fucking wrong. There is an unknown vampire scent around Madison's house."

The moment he said those words, I ran like a fucking stray bullet, towards her house. I could smell the citrus smell, clinging to my nostrils. It was strong and repugnant. I hated that smell. I searched every damn corner and didn't find the damn vampire that had ventured so fucking closed to my angel.

It had been four weeks and the damn vampire was constantly eluding us. It knew when to venture close to my princess' house. I was beginning to wonder if it was a vampire avenging his or her lover's death. We were werewolves and had done our share of killing vampires. The thought of losing my angel, my life and my love, was too much to bear. I couldn't think of a life without her. I had grown accustomed to her company. No one was going to fucking hurt her, while I was still alive!

It was getting hard to keep the secret from her. She knew that I was becoming too overprotective. She didn't complain, but I knew that soon she was going to get tired of it. We continued to spend more time together at school. I could tell that she was head-over heels in love with me. She couldn't be apart from me and neither could I.

"I love you, Em." she said, one night, before school. She kissed my forehead and placed her arm on my shoulder.

The proximity and the knowledge that she was safe, made me feel at ease. She was alive and breathing. I loved her so much and the fear of something happening to her, was worst than any physical pain.

"I love you, too." I muttered sleepily, as I rested my head on her chest. She ran her soft hands through my thick hair and kissed my forehead.

She ran her index finger across my exposed chest, as she nibbled on my ear. "Embry," she said in her sensual, silky voice.

"Yes, baby." I mumbled opening one eye to see her face. "What do you need, angel?" I asked, yawning.

"I want you inside of me." she said, lifting my head carefully to face her. "Please!" she said, pouting so beautifully.

I couldn't fight or resist the urge of being inside her. Her scent was so fucking enchanting and alluring, that it took over my willpower. Before I knew it, I was jamming my damn dick inside her; spilling my seed deep into her womb. I cursed myself when I remembered the conversation I had with Sam. I silently prayed that she wasn't pregnant. I didn't want to put her through something like that.

But then her scent, began to completely change. It went from sensually alluring to a sweet and beckoning, peaceful scent. Then everything about our sex life began to slow down. We were more like a loving couple, instead of horny crazed-kids. It felt so completely right and comforting to just cuddle and spend our time together; that I forgot about my conversation with Sam. It was strange, but even I felt calm and less anxious. Feeling her body pressed to mine, was what I needed.

But two weeks ago, her scent got sweeter. I had no doubt in my mind. I felt sad for what I did. I had destroyed her future. Her dreams of studying in England were probably gone. She would hate me for hiding such an important fact from her. I couldn't take it anymore. All I thought about was the possibility of having a child with Madison. It filled me with a mixture of feelings; fear, joy and contentment, of knowing that inside her grew a child that was made with so much love.

That morning, I woke up earlier than usual. There was no damn doubt in my mind. If it was true what Sam had said, she was knocked up! I was going to be a father and she was going to be a mother. It was going to be hard, but together we could make it work.

I went to the guidance counselor and explained my situation, without giving specific details, of course. He told me of ways to finish high school faster and that was what I opted to do. I dropped out of school and called my boss and told him that I wanted to work full time. He asked me why and I explained to Rick my situation. He gave me a raise and now I was his assistant.

In a way, we were blessed. We could live comfortably. The only problem would be giving the news to our parents. I was more afraid of her father. What would hedo? What if he took her from me? That was my biggest fear. I didn't want to lose her. I had been through that hellish path when she was in the hospital after her fall. I couldn't live through that again.

I rode in my motorcycle to Sam's house and talked to him. I asked him how he knew about what the scent meant.

"I noticed that there is a time during the year that Emily is the most fertile and would get this alluring scent. It drove me insane. I wanted her more than usual. We were constantly... well, we were more passionate during that time. After a while, we discovered that she was pregnant. Her scent was sweet and I felt peaceful around her. I can't describe the feeling, but I was ecstatic and happy, just by being around her. Unfortunately, it wasn't meant to be. We lost the baby and that's how I know. It happened again a few months later. When their scent changes, is when they are more receptive or fertile. That's why you guys need to be careful and use protection." he said, sitting on the patio chair.

We talked most of the afternoon. He was very helpful, like a true leader. I felt a little better, just by venting my frustration

Life was not going to be easy for us! Emily and Kim already knew what we were talking about and joined in. They shared their fears and frustrations. It was a little after four, when I heard Quil's motorcycle approaching Sam's house. I could sense her. The pull in my heart got stronger when she was around me. I would know when she was around me.

When Quil parked his motorcycle, I fell the air leave my lungs. She looked so beautiful. I could stop looking at her. I stood there like an idiot staring at her, as she got off Quil's motorcycle and ambled towards us. She had a determine look on her face. She was set to find out what was going on. I knew her pretty well to know that she needed answers.

Her pretty brown eyes were fierce when she the averted them from my pack brothers, to Emily and Kim and then darted to me. I knew she was going to demand that I spill all the information.

"What the fuck is wrong with me?" she asked, slamming the helmet against my stomach. I could feel her pain and see it in her eyes. It was enough to make me cry. I hated seeing her in pain, but it was necessary that my pack brothers protected her.

Should I tell her that she was pregnant? Should I even mention to her that there was a dangerous vampire after her?

She was in danger and I needed to make sure that she was protected all the time. I wish I was able to tell her what was going on, but I could not scare her or worry her. Now that I was a hundred percent that she was pregnant with my child, I didn't want to jeopardize her pregnancy with bad news.

Her scent had changed since the early morning and I was sure, that she was expecting my child. Just the thought of knowing that I had created life with her, was enough to send me over the roof with happiness.

"What the fuck is going on Embry?" she asked angrily, bringing me back from my happy stupor.

I stood there unable to answer her question. There were so many things that were happening, but I just couldn't tell her. It was too sudden and we still needed time, to understand the severity of what we were dealing with.

"Embry Call!" she said crossly, hitting my arm with Quil's motorcycle helmet. "Embry, tell me what is going on?" she asked, this time she slammed the helmet against my groin. That fucking hurt. I looked at her, wincing in pain, as I fell to my knees.

I could hear the guys grunting with sympathy pain. It was painful and it fucking hurt like hell!

"If you don't tell me, I will beat your fucking balls with the helmet, until I can make fucking scramble eggs with them." she said violently.

Emily and Kim got in the middle and tried to calm her down, but they couldn't control her. She was bent as hell to know what was going on. Kim tried to explain to her that she needed to calm down and take it easy.

"Get your hands off me, Kim." she yelled, pushing Kim's hand from her shoulder. "Why would you come and talk to your friends instead of me?" she shouted, looking down at me.

"Calm down, angel!" I said, wincing in pain, my hands on my damn testicles, hoping that there was no permanent damage. "I will talk to you, but when we are alone."

"Madison, try not to get your anger out on Kim." Jared said worriedly, walking to where the girls were.

"Fuck you!" she said menacingly. "Take your meddling girlfriend out of my way. I have no problem with her, she shouldn't get in the middle of two quarreling lovers!"

"Madison, if you calm down, we can tell you what's wrong..." Emily said softly.

"Emily, I don't want to calm down. Why do they need to have so many secrets around me?" she asked, a tear falling down her face. "I hate it. I demand to know what is going on. I know it has to do with me. Why do they keep asking me stupid shit?!"

Emily hugged her and cradled Madie in her arms. Madison looked down at me and I felt my heart shatter to pieces. It was the saddest gaze I have ever seen on her beautiful face.

Madison pulled away from Emily and walked up to me. "You better tell me, Embry, or I will smash your head with this helmet!" she said forcefully.

Seth, Paul and Jacob laughed, but calmed down when Madison stared at them. She was more powerful and authoritative than Sam.

"Sorry," Paul muttered, and then walked up to her. He took the helmet off her hands and hugged her. "Calm down, princess. You don't want to do something that you'll end up regretting later." he said softly, caressing my angel.

"Get your hands off me" she said, pulling away from Paul. "I demand to know what is going on! Why was Seth congratulating me this morning?" she asked, looking angrily at Seth.

We all turned to face a smiling Seth. He grinned and gave us a nervous gesture. Madison growled furiously and he took a step back and turned to face the front door. "Oh, did you hear that? My phone's ringing." he said swiftly and before she could protest, he was inside Sam's house.

"Coward!" she bellowed after him. "I'm going home. I don't need this shit right now. I will find out on my own." she said, shaking her head in disappointment.

I got up and ran after her. I placed my hand over her shoulder and spun her around. "We can talk about it at home. It's going to be hard on you, but I promise that I will be there for you."
