I'm so sorry that I haven't updated sooner but my silly mother took my laptop off me… grrrr. So I am very sorry for the wait, and if you have lost interest, sorry.
Also how long do you think this story should be? Do you think I should end it soon? I also have no idea how many people are reading this, if you are please let me know by leaving a comment, even if it says 'I'm still reading' it would mean the world to me.
As always let me know what you think. There will be a mention (or a special character in the next chapter for the person that leaves the twentieth review (:
Also another big Thankyou to lovably17, for being completely awesome and giving some random stranger (aka me) advice, you make me smile no matter how I am feeling. =)
Enjoy.

The nights we will never forget,
But can never seem to remember are the best… 3 (xo colaaa)
Izzy.
I know I shouldn't have run out of Emily's, it was unfair to her after all that she has done to help me. I knew I couldn't stay there and have Embry reject me again. For a minute or two there I thought everything was okay between us, but then I realized that I would have been imagining it. When he had his hands on my stomach, on my baby, there were currents passing between us, I know he felt them too. That's why I flinched, and he let me go even though I was silently wishing he never would. I wanted the chance to talk to him, the chance to apologize but I didn't know if he would give me that chance. I suppose I would have to ring him and find out.
I picked up my cell phone and dialed the number I knew off by heart. It was the same number I had dialed everyday but had never had the guts to hit the little green button. This time I did.
He didn't answer the first time so I tried again.
"please Embry, pick up." I whispered into the phone. There was a knock on the door.
"hold on a second!" I shouted.
"hey this is Embry, obviously I cant get to the phone right now but leave me a message and I will get back to you."
"Embry, please call me. I want to talk-apologise- please, I need you." I sighed and hung up. I dragged my feet to the door and opened it slowly. I froze when Embry looked me in the eye.
"you got my call?" I asked him.
"uh… you called me?" His eyebrows scrunched together.
"yeah. Um… do you want to come in?"
"yeah." He stepped inside and closed the door behind him.
"do you want a drink of some sort?"
"coffee please." He said studying the room.
"sure." I put the jug on to boil and got everything ready for a coffee for him and a tea for me. I closed my eyes and tapped my fingers on the bench in need of something to do.
"a little impatient are we?" I turned and saw Embry leaning against the door way, arms crossed over his chest and a sexy smirk on his face.
"yeah a little bit." I said and smiled in return.
"sit down, i'll do that." I nodded and sat down at the table. Embry set my tea down in front of me and sat down on the other side of the table with his coffee. We didn't talk for a couple of minutes. Talk about awkward silence anyone?
"Izzy I'm sorry." "Embry I'm sorry." We both said at the same time. He raked a smile and gestured for me to go ahead.
"okay… Embry I'm sorry, I didn't mean to-"
"Izzy its alright-" he interrupted.
"no Embry its not. And please don't interrupt me." He nodded, "Thankyou. As I was saying, I'm sorry that I lied to you, I'm sorry that I hurt you. I swear I didn't mean to. I only kept the other baby a secret because I thought that seeing as you didn't know about the baby, it wouldn't hurt you that I miscarried. You were never meant to find out, but know I realize that you had a right to know no matter what i thought… but I know now that you had a right to know, no matter what I thought. I'm sorry you have been in pain because I never gave you the chance to mourn for your first child. I wish that I had told you the second I found out that I was pregnant. I want to give you this though." I stood up and got a copy of the ultrasound photo I have him the night he asked me to move in with him. I put it on the table infront of him. He glanced at me and raised his eyebrows.
"that's the baby I lost. Your baby. The one I kept a secret. When I gave you the picture I thought it would be the best way to give you your anniversary present." I wrapped my hands over my bump like I had been doing a lot lately. A tear rolled down Embry's cheek and I wanted desperately to wipe it away but I didn't think he was ready for that yet. Imprint or not I still think he is mad at me. He touched the photo gently before wiping his face. He held out his hand, "come here." He whispered. I placed my hand in his carefully and let him pull me slowly towards him. He sat me down on his knee and buried is head in my neck.
"i'm sorry too. I'm sorry I have pretty much ignored you over the last three months. I was mad but that's no excuse to not being there for you and the baby… I just… I miss you, more than you'll ever know and I want to be with you and show you how much I love you again. Not only for the baby, but for my own sanity." He chuckled slightly before clearing his throat. "I want you to move in with me a.s.a.p." he kissed my neck as I sat there in shock. I wasn't expecting him to ask me to move in with him again… I figured he would want some time to get back into the swing of things…. Apparently not.
"what do you say?" I put my hands on either side of his face and kissed him softly. His lips were softer and smoother than I remembered, not to mention the warmth. He tightened his hold on me and breathed in deeply.
"god I missed this." He whispered
"what do you mean?" I asked kissing his cheek slowly.
"I missed being able to hold you like this. And I missed being able to kiss you, having your body pushed up against mine, and most of all I missed the silky feeling of your skin when I do this." He ran the back of his fingers over my temple and cheek, his hand resting on the bottom of my chin and pulling my face forward so that he could do the same before kissing me again.
"I missed it too." I said breathlessly.
"so what do you say?" he asked.
"about what?" I pulled away so that I could look into his eyes.
"about moving in with me." he said chuckling.
"oh… I would love to." He smiled and held me close.
"come on, lets go tell everyone that I finally came to my senses and talked to you. Emily told me to get my ass over there as soon as I had talked to you."
"they knew you were coming?"
"yeah." He said helping me off his lap. It would have been nice if they had told me. I slipped on my shoes and grabbed my cell, bag and keys before locking the door behind me and joining hands with a waiting Embry. When we arrived at Emily's he helped me out of the car and flung his arm around my shoulder. He smiled down at me making my heart beat faster and by the growth of the smile on his own face I guess he heard it too. I let myself in the door calling for Emily as I closed it behind me.
"oh hun, you're back. How are you?" she asked coming out of the kitchen and wiping her hands on a tea towel.
"I'm great." I smiled back. Embry wrapped his arms around my waist from behind me and kissed my pulse point gently.
"about bloody time." Paul commented from he couch where Rachel was sitting in his lap.
"shut up Paul." Embry said trying to be scary but you could hear the smile in his voice.
"what ev- What the fuck! Stupid ref!" I was guessing that they were watching some sort of sports match. I wandered into the kitchen and Embry followed.
"I'm not going anywhere at the moment you know." I told him.
"good." he replied but sat down next to me anyway. I rolled my eyes.
"you know that means I can handle the girls by myself. It doesn't mean that you have to be with me 24/7."
"yeah but I want to." He said holding my hand and grinning at me stupidly.
"Em, I love you very much, but I need some alone time with the girls."
"you can still talk to the girls with me here." He whined. I sighed.
"do you want to listen to us talk about periods Em? Really?" I asked with my eyebrows raised.
"I'll just… uh…. Bye…." He trailed off and all but ran out of the room.
"you really want to talk about periods?" Kim asked with a dazed look on her face. she could be so blonde sometimes….
"no Kim, I just wanted to get rid of him so I could talk to you guys properly."
"that's my girl." Rachel said while leaning across the table to give me a high five. I laughed. Emily set down a cup of tea in front of me and sat in the vacant seat opposite me.
"so what happened?" she asked.
"we talked . and that's about it." I said with a shrug.
"so… no hot make up sex?" Rachel asked seriously.
"sorry to disappoint." I laughed.
"hey guys!" Kiara's voice rang through the house.
"Izzy you're here! And happy! Oh my god, you and Embry made up!" she bounced over and wrapped her arms around my head squeezing me tight.
"sorry, she's had a few red bull." Collin said prying her off me. I took a deep breath in.
"typical," I muttered, "you okay Kiara?" Kim asked her.
"yeah I'm fine. Just excited." She paused for a second before continuing, "okay seeing as you asked! My sister Stephanie is coming for a holiday, and she said that if she likes it here she might move. She says she misses us all very much." she nodded vigorously with wide eyes. Emily, Rachael, Kim and me glanced at each other then back to her before bursting out with laughter, it was so synchronized we laughed harder.
I hadn't seen Embry all night as I was helping the girls calm Embry down. She really was excited. I hope she calms down when Stephanie gets here though.
"hey babe, how are you feeling?" Embry asked wrapping his arms around my waist.
"good how are you?"
"fine." He mumbled running his nose along my neck lightly before nipping at it.
"Em, we're with people, remember." I gasped and he sucked on my skin.
"we don't have to be." He whispered back kissing my ear.
That was all the encouragement I needed.
"so when are you going to start packing?" Embry asked while making the bed for me.
"packing?"
"for when you move in with me…" he replied slowly.
"oh yeah… how about next week?"
"that long?" he whined.
"fine, I'll start packing tomorrow and move I next week."
"you still have your key?" he asked plopping down on the freshly made bed.
"of course. A couple of days ago I was contemplating breaking into your house so you would have to talk to me."
"Aww babe, you have no idea how many times I came to see you but backed out at the last second. And I probably wouldn't have backed out so many times if you weren't always hanging around with Seth." I flashed bright red and left the room. I knew Seth had developed a little bit of a 'crush' on me and it was embarrassing.
"babe, where are you going?"
"er… away from the awkwardness."
"its okay Izz, I know Seth had a thing for you. I can read his mind remember."
"yeah doesn't mean it isn't awkward though" I said as I sat down. He kneeled in front of me and put his hands on my thighs.
"Izzy, forget about it." he said sneaking in to give me a kiss.
"I suppose." I commented as I kissed him back. I held his face in my hands and realized just how much I missed him. I slid forward so he was resting between my legs. He stood up and went to lift me as well.
"don't Em you'll hurt yourself." I whispered.
"what?" he said kissing over my collar bone.
"I'm too fat for you to carry so don't even try." I said back breathlessly. He took my face in his hands and looked me in the eyes.
"don't say that, ever. Your not fat and anyway i'm a werewolf I can lift anything. He picked me up and opened the bedroom door with his foot.
"pregnant or not, I'm still the size of a whale." I told him pointedly.
"honey, you gotta long way to go before you're the size of a whale. Besides your beautiful no matter what size you are."
"such a charmer." I muttered while being put down slowly on the mattress.
"you know it." he chuckled and kissed me deeply.
"OH MY GOD OH MY GOD OH MY GOD! SHE'S HERE!" Kiara yelled through the phone.
"okay! I get it. Stephanie is here." I yelled back holding the phone at arms length.
"she wants to see you. come round for dinner and bring Embry okay."
"fine. What time?" I asked.
"six?" well it was three thirty now…
"sure." I said and hung up. Embry pouted at me from the doorway.
"she's my family. Don't you want to make a good impression? Besides, what happens if one of the guys imprint on her?" I said wrapping my arms around his neck making him stoop down.
"I suppose. But I don't think that any of the guys will imprint." He wrapped his arms around my wait while staring at something over my head.
"why do you think that?" I asked.
"just instinct."
"care to make a bet? Say twenty bucks?" he raised his eyebrows at me, "you chicken?" I teased.
"sure, if no one imprints on her then you owe me twenty dollars. Might as well give it to me now." He smirked.
"sure sure buddy. I know your wrong so you might want to seal the bet with a shake."
"nah, preggo's a kiss." He knew I hated the name preggo's but he continued to call me by it….. Wanker.
"Whatever now go have a shower, you smell." I gave him a shove in the direction of the bathroom.
"oooh ouch." He said putting a hand over his heart and pretending to wipe away a tear.
"yeah yeah, you can cry later." He kissed me on the head before slipping out of the room.
"guy's you're here!" Kiara shouted as she swung the door open.
"geez ki, calm down! Let them them at least get inside before you start torturing them." came a new voice from somewhere behind an over excited Kiara.
Sorry for any horrible mistakes. I just really wanted to get this out to you.
