A/n. hey sorry for the long update time but I like to keep ahead in the story while I'm writing it and I have a lot of ideas circling around in my head but I am having trouble getting them down. I'm going through a lot of stuff at the moment so it might be a while before I update. I want to ask you a favor…. Review? It would make my otherwise crappy day good. (it will also give me the momentum I need to keep writing. There are a lot of people who have Damaged on story alert but haven't reviewed… you know who you are… and I will forgive you… if you review.

Jess xO (sorry about the long a/n but I had to have a good rant, it driving me nuts.)

Sure, I think other guys are cute,

But every time I see a cute guy,

I remind myself of how cute you are,

Of how much I love you,

Of how sweet you are,

Of how you can always brighten my day,

& suddenly, that other guy doesn't look so cute anymore,

So I look the other way...

Lachlan Uley…

Izzy

He left! Just ran out leaving me naked and under a very thin sheet feeling rather awkward with one of his pack members standing in the doorway.

"um… sorry I'll… uh… bye." Jared stuttered looking in every direction but mine. He followed after Embry leaving me alone. I sighed and got some clothes on ready to go to Emily's. I knew that when the guys were done they would be very hungry and I didn't like the idea of Emily cooking for them all by herself especially seeing as she is heavily pregnant and about ready to pop.

I got to Emily's and just as expected she was cooking while Kim was trying to convince her to sit down.

"Emily put your feet up. I have everything under control, so you can just sit and relax." Shouted Kim.

"but they will be hungry!" Emily screamed back.

"Emily sit down and shut up. I'm sure Kim and I can handle cooking for the guys. Plus this kitchen isn't big enough for all of us" she huffed but sat down anyway.

Kim ran over and out her feet up on the chair opposite. I laughed and started peeling potatoes.

"hmmm, something smells good.!" Brady yelled when he walked in.

"oh my god Brady! Are the others back?" Kim yelled jumping up from the seat she was dozing off in. it was around four in the morning and we had been keeping the food warm for about five hours. She ran over to the window and peered outside. I knew he had been sent to baby-sit.

"um… no… they're still trying to get them.." he shifted awkwardly looking from the knife clenched in my fist to my white knuckles to my expression I turned away and continued chopping the pumpkin while trying to hold back my tears. It had almost been a full day and they were still out there fighting those things. If anything happened to Embry I would kill someone, most likely me. We heard nothing for two more hours. I yelled at Brady and made him go phase so that he could tell us what was going on. after ten minutes he came back in with a sad face.

"sorry guys," he said, "all your delicious food is going to be gone in about ten minutes." His smiled hugely and went to go help Emily get back up. she waddled while Kim and I ran outside. As soon as I saw him I ran and jumped.

"ohmygodthankthelordyou'reokay!" I hurriedly said as he continued walking towards Sam's. I still had my legs wrapped around his waist.

"I love you." he whispered in my ear. Then I saw Collin, being carried very carefully across the uneven ground by Eric, Andrew and Seth. I screamed and my hand flew to my mouth. If Collin wasn't swearing profusely I would have thought he was dead. He was covered in hundreds of shiny pink lines, dirt and dried blood. His nose was crooked and all his limbs were bent at odd angles. with every scream and curse from him all the guys would wince.

"arghh fuck, this ones bad." Rang from behind me. I turned suddenly and almost fell backwards out of Embry's arms.

"what do I do?" Sam screamed as he clutched onto his screaming wife.

"take her to the hospital numb nuts, she's going into labor." I said to him, Embry let go of me and rushed inside, I followed.

"what are you doing Em?"

"I don't know,… panicking?" he said as he turned to look at me with wide eyes.

"I don't think she has time to get to the hospital. We're going to have to deliver the baby here." Carlisle said as he came in. I didn't know he was here?

"um shit! where do we take them?" Embry screamed.

"them?" I asked, was he already referring to the baby as if it was here?

"Emily and Collin!"

"oh shit I forgot about Collin."

"get Sam to take Emily to the couch it will make it easier for her and get Collin to a bed. Alice I want you to line the couch with some sheets so it doesn't get stained." Carlisle said before he disappeared.

"Embry go help your brothers with Collin, I'll get Emily. Okay?" I asked he started at me for a second before rushing back outside. I rolled my eyes before following. He was almost as bad as Sam. I walked outside to see a screaming Emily, a crying Christy, a frantic Sam, a worried Kim,… and a laughing Paul?

"Paul you cock sucker! Stop laughing and go help the guys with Collin." He glared at me but did as I said. I turned to Kim.

"do you want to take Christy away for a while? Its better for her to not see her mother in so much pain." She nodded and grabbed her car keys and Jared's hand. They drove off as Emily screamed again.

"Ohmymotherfuckengod!" she yelled.

"Emily I need you to calm down." Carlisle appeared out of nowhere and stood infront of her. "Sam take her inside from the looks of it she has been in labor since yesterday afternoon." Sam's mouth fell open but picked her up and carried her inside anyway. Carlisle disappeared and then appeared infront of Collin. "take him to the spare room and lay him down gently try not to move him too much." He turned to Alice and started talking so fast I didn't understand a word of it. Alice nodded and ushered the guys inside.

"do you want me to do anything dr Cullen?" I asked. Can you get me some ice wrapped in a towel for Emily, some clean blankets and a wash cloth."

"sure thing." I grabbed what I needed and sat next to Emily wiping the towel and ice across her forehead while she squeezed my hand.

"okay Emily on the count of three I want you to push as hard as you can okay?" she nodded and breathed deeply. "ready… one … two… three." She grunted and I started screaming as she was squeezing my hand really tight.

"good. well done Emily. Congratulations it's a boy and he's very healthy, I'll just clean him up for you."

"a boy! A boy! I have a son!" Sam yelled. I smiled as Emily loosened her grip on me. Her eyes fluttered closed and she leaned backwards into Sam's chest.

"Izzy can you hold Lachlan for me I need to pee again." I nodded and Kim passed the giggling three month old baby to me. I laughed as she ran off. Kim is now pregnant and into her tenth week and hasn't been hit with morning sickness yet but the baby was sitting low and already pressing into her bladder. Yeah, Carlisle was over a lot…

"Izzy!" I heard Kim call.

"want me to get more toilet paper?" I shouted back. Embry walked in and I smiled at me.

"yes please." She answered.

"here you go Em. Remind me later to move the loo paper to the cupboard under the sink in the bathroom I am not running after her all the time." I handed him the baby and rushed off. When I came back I stopped in the doorway and just watched. Embry was talking to Lachlan and playing with his little fingers.

"you're a cute wee baby aren't you. I bet you wont be cute for long though. You're going to grow up big and strong just like your daddy, and your absolutely awesome uncle Embry, aren't you." he cooed.

"big head much?" I asked and he looked up at me. He walked over and put the baby in my arms. He gave me a kiss on the cheek and walked out. Lachlan was tugging on a piece of my hair. I sighed and put him down in his bassinet. Sam and Emily were having they're first day away together since he was born, I suspected I would e getting a text very soon from Emily checking to see if everything was okay. As if she read my mind five minutes later I got that exact text. I laughed and replied quickly. I checked on Christy having a nap in Sara's old room. Sara had gone away to college so now only Anna and me were living here. We were trying to find a room mate though. Christy was still sleeping soundly so I let her be just as Kim was coming out of the bathroom.

"sorry. Silly baby pushing on my bladder." She muttered. I laughed loud and she sat down next to me.

"really it doesn't matter Kim. That should stop soon."

"you really have been talking to Cullen a lot haven't you?"

"yeah… maybe just a little." She laughed and pulled her legs up under her.

"so what have you and Embry got planned for this weekend. If nothing come over for tea with us tomorrow night."

"we cant sorry. I don't know if Embry remembers but it's our two year anniversary and I booked a table at a little diner in Port Angeles."

"oh my god two years! That's a long time. Have you gotten him a present?"

"yes, but he most definitely cannot know till tomorrow. I think he is going to love it."

"oooh, really? What is it?"

"I honestly cant tell you Kim, he has to know first and I thought tomorrow would be a good time."

"oh I'm so excited you have to tell me as soon as you have told him okay."

"sure Kim, whatever." I rolled my eyes as she bounced in her seat.

"Kim, you there?" Jared's head popped through the door and when he saw her he sighed before smiling. I saw him looking her up and down.

"do you really think I would hurt her Jared?" I asked while clicking the brakes off the bassinet.

"no, but I had to check. See you Izzy."

"by Jared, bye Kim and thanks for using all my toilet paper." I smiled mockingly and Kim hung her head. I wheeled the bassinet into Anna's room and plugged in the baby monitor. I curled up on the couch and closed my eyes for a second.

"aunt Izzy?" said Christy softly as she held on to the edge of the couch.

"what is it honey?" I asked as I sat up and pulled the small three year old into my lap.

"can I pwese haf a gwass of mwik?" she asked.

"sure, come on." I put her on the ground and held her hand as she ran to keep up with my small steps.

"sit on the chair over there and I'll get you you're drink. Would you like it warm or cold?"

"cold pwese." She muttered. She pulled herself onto the chair clumsily and I put the drink down infront of her. she slurped at it happily and hummed to herself. I cant wait to have my own children, no Embry's children. The doorbell rang and almost immediately the door opened and Emily came in.

"he's in Anna's room Emily." She sped off and Sam laughed.

"sorry about that." He said still laughing, "she's been wanting to come get him for the last four hours."

"but you've only been gone four hours?" I replied.

"exactly." He stated as Emily came back in staring down at little Lachlan sleeping in her arms.

"we better get him home." she said still looking down at her son.

"yeah, I'll just get all the stuff. Christy is in the kitchen." I handed them the diaper bag and all Christy's toys.

"thanks for doing this Izzy."

"don't worry about it Sam the kids are great and I love spending time with them." I gave Christy a kiss on the cheek who was giggling and playing with the collar of Sam's shirt. I waved them good bye as warm arms encircled my waist. Embry kissed my cheek and whispered "I love you." In my ear. I turned and kissed him on the lips.

"I know." I whispered back as I walked out of his embrace.

"what are you doing?" he whined.

"making dinner, unless you would rather go hungry?" I asked with my eyebrow raised.

"never say that to me!" he shouted as he ran to the kitchen picking me up on the way. I shook my head and laughed. Bloody wolves and their food.

"good evening m'lady." Embry bowed and held his hand out for mine. He was wearing a dark red button down shirt and dark grey slacks. I gave him my hand and he kissed it before smiling hugely at me.

"the plans for this evening are going for a picnic at a mystery location." He said in an English accent.

"that means I have to change our reservations at the restaurant."

"already done." He smiled and lead me outside. He helped me into the car ad jogged around so he could drive. "happy anniversary babe." He said before turning the car on. I took his hand in mine and gave it a quick squeeze. We drove down some bumpy dirt roads and into the forest, we pulled behind a tree. It was pitch black and I couldn't see anything.

"put this on." Embry said handing me a scarf.

"but I'm not cold?" I replied.

"over your eyes Izzy." He said with a roll of his.

"oh right." I took the scarf and tied it over my eyes. Embry helped me out of the car and let me forward. I felt silly. The blindfold came off and I was standing in the middle of a small clearing. There were fairy lights everywhere and a small fire. There was also a small marquee with a dining set underneath it.

"this is so beautiful Em."

"just like you." he said with a smile. I took a step toward the fire and felt the heat coming off it. some soft music flipped on in the background. Embry put one hand on my waist and pulled me close. I put my arms around his neck and we swayed slowly to the music.

"I love you." he muttered. I rested my head on his shoulder and closed my eyes.

"are you hungry?" he asked pulling my chin up so he could look into my eyes.

"little bit, but I don't want to move right now." He laughed and pulled me towards the table anyway. He pulled my chair out for me and I sat down smiling.

"since when did you become a gentleman?" I asked.

"I've always been a gentleman Thankyou very much." He huffed and stuck his chin in the air before turning around and facing the other way.

"Aww I'm sorry honey."

"its okay, your right. I had Kim, Emily and Rachael give me some pointers." He put down a plate of my new favorite meal; Chicken and bacon cabonara. After I had eaten (he had waited very patiently after inhaling his food) he dragged his chair closer to mine.

"I have a present for you." he said as he pulled a long thin box from his pocket.

"I have one for you too." I said pulling the small envelope out of my purse.

"same time?" he asked holding the box toward me.

"sometimes its like you read my mind." I said as he laughed. I took the box as he took the envelope. I watched him pull the small picture out and look at it. His eyebrows pulled together… then he gasped. I knew he got it so I opened my present. Inside was a thin silver necklace with a heart on it. Tied to it with a pink ribbon was a key; a house key. Aww he was asking me to move in with him. I looked up to find him staring at me. He stood up and knelt next to me. He had tears rolling gently down his face; I kissed them away. He held the picture next to my stomach and put one hand on my belly. He sighed and kissed my stomach.

"my baby. I love you Izzy Daniels. There is no one else I would ever want to carry my baby; this baby." He caressed my stomach gently before kissing me again. I cried in relief and threw my arms around his neck. "shhh, shhh, why are you crying honey?" he asked taking my place in the chair and holding me to his chest.

"i'm just relieved. I thought you would run for the hills." I cried into his shoulder as he rocked me.

"I would never ever do that to you. I love you more than anything. I love this baby more than anything. You two come in equal in my book." I laughed and kissed him again. he moved so that we were sitting on the logs infront of the fire. He put his arm around my shoulders and I snuggled into his side. My hand rested on my stomach and I couldn't help but think about how much things were going to change in a few months time. I mean I was nineteen years old living on the opposite side of the world to all my family and friends, about to move in with my almost twenty one year old boyfriend of two years. And now we are having a baby as well. I was so excited. Now is my chance to start over. It feels like my life is finally starting. I can put all the shit that has gone on in my life behind me and start fresh. I couldn't wait. I was going to have a baby in a few months. My own little baby. I want a girl, and I think Embry wants a boy. If it is a boy I won't love it any less. This baby is going to be my little prince or princess. With Embry by my side I think I could handle change.
