Hey Readers! Thanks for all the reviews, I love reading them! :)) I have quiet a few twists and turns coming up so stay tuned!


Days like this I want to drive away
Pack my bags and watch your shadow fade
You chewed me up and spit me out
Like I was poison in your mouth
You took my light, you drained me down
But that was then and this is now
Now look at me

~ Part of my by Katy Perry


Sitting in the bathroom I looked down at the pee stick I held in my hands, taking a deep breath as I saw the word Pregnant appear before me. I nervously licked my lips trying to keep my hands from shaking, this wasn't good… this was bad, very very bad. I could imagine the look on Jacob's face when he found out… he'd be beyond angry, murderous even. No, he couldn't find out no one could, not even Emily. I sat there trying to keep calm as I tried to form a plan in my mind, Ems' wedding was in a little less than a month by my last cycle I was probably close to 6 weeks… I shouldn't show too much in another 3... If I was one of the lucky ones. Looking down I placed a protective hand on my flat stomach.

"It'll be ok kiddo, mommy's here." I spoke softly as I closed my eyes, I am going to be a mother. I smiled at that. I am going to have a tiny baby who will love me unconditionally, he or she will be the light of my life. I knew I loved this baby already, and even though I didn't want to admit it I loved the baby's daddy as well. I knew I didn't have the loving and supportive relationship and that Jacob wouldn't be around for us but that was alright. I would be a single mother, the best single mother that I possibly could be because my child deserved that. My child deserved to be loved and cherished, and he or she would be. I might not be the perfect parent but I dang sure would try my best! Standing up from the toilet I tossed the pee stick in the trash followed by the box before bagging it up. I had to call around and make an appointment… these next few months were going to be very busy.

As I sat at the kitchen table playing with my saltine crackers, they had been my 'breakfast' for weeks now, it's amazing how a tiny thing inside of your body could throw you for such a loop. My baby sure was reeking havoc on my body, from the time I woke up until around noon I was nothing but a hot mess, always throwing up, I had no strength not to mention everything I smelled made me sick. I sat at the table letting out a soft moan as another wave of nausea hit me.

"Come on peanut, ease off ok? Mommy needs a break." I said speaking softly as I rubbed my stomach. Now I know why some women swear off pregnancy. Slowly standing up I gave up on eating, I'd try again later… I walked over to the couch still in my pjs and laid down covering up under my nice comfy blanket. Just as I was starting to drift off to sleep I heard a pounding noise at my door, I let out an aggravated groan.

"Who is it?"

"It's Sam." I sighed before sitting up pulling my blanket with me, wrapping it around me like a safe cocoon I walked over to the door opening it, stepping back as the cool air tried to invade my warm house. Seeing me Sam smiled as he stepped inside, I knew I must look funny, the blanket was around my head only showing my face as it fell down to the floor… what? I'm a little on the short side of things.

"Are ya cold Teddy?" I couldn't help but smile as I nodded.

"Yea unlike some of you, I wasn't born with the gift of being a walking furnace." Sam chuckled as we walked back over to the living room taking a seat.

"Everything alright?" I asked turning to face him as I settled the blanket around me getting comfy. He nodded looking at me as he leaned back in the couch.

"Yes, I just wanted to check in on you. I know your not feeling well." I looked up a little startled he knew that.

"What do you mean? I feel fine."

"I know you've been getting sick Teddy, you forget Jacob's very um… in tune with you." I looked up my eyes getting wide as I looked at him.

"Mm… how in tune are we talkin about?"

"He knows when your sick, when your sad, hurting… he can feel it. Just like I can feel it when anything is wrong with Emily, it's part of the imprint." I sighed and looked out the window.

"The lovely imprinting… well I assure you I am fine. Just tired, Jacob doesn't need to send you over to check up on me Sam. I'm a big girl, I can take care of myself." I said looking back to Sam, he nodded. I sighed reminding myself that Sam wasn't the enemy here.

"I know you are Amelia, I just worry about you. You're my little sister… I do care about you." I couldn't help but smile, it was hard for Sam to let anyone in. He wanted to act like he was the big bad, tough guy but once he felt comfortable enough around you, he was a really good guy, strong, loyal and very caring for those he held close to his heart.

"I care about you too Sam, your like a brother to me. I just don't want anyone's pity. I see it enough with Ems. I love her but her feeling sorry for me isn't what I need right now. I don't want anyone's pity, especially my sister's." I said looking off to the side as the program on tv was cut short by a 'breaking news' story. Both Sam and I looked at the tv as the news reporter told about a string of murders happening in a small town close to Port Angeles. My eyes bulged at what she said next.

"It is uncertain as to what the mind frame of the killer is, but he/she takes the time to drain all the body from the victim's body. They seem to know their victim well, knowing when to attack, never leaving any evidence at the scene…" I looked over to Sam who was already standing up.

"Sam…"

"I have to go, stay in La Push Amelia, don't you dare go outside our boarders, do you hear me?" He asked turning to grab my shoulders in a gentle hold. I nodded knowing he was fearing a vampire was behind the attacks.

"Alright…" Guess I would be calling into work tonight… I knew better than to disobey Sam especially when he was like this. He was worried, very worried and I didn't want to cause any problems so what the hell. I figured I'd let him 'guardian wolf' for a couple days then I'd put my foot down. Turning off the tv I stood up stretching as Peanut decided to let my stomach rest for a while. Walking up the stairs toward the bedroom I was gonna go get some groceries I needed some more crackers and plain chips… the only two things I knew I could eat no matter what.

After I had showered and got dressed I walked down stairs grabbing my purse and keys before heading to the door. I tried to push the news broadcast out of my mind as I locked up and went to my car, I was safe in La Push… I think.


Once I made it to the store I grabbed a buggy and started walking around the store thinking of what I wanted to eat, as I stopped at the chips section I reached up trying to get my chips off the top shelf, I hated being short. Damn my short genes! I heard a deep chuckle from behind me before a warm sensation surrounded me and my chips were easily reached by a dark, tanned arm as the chips were sat down in the buggy. I turned around to face a smirking Jacob. My stomach did a somersault as I looked at him. I gave him a half smile before I turned back to the cart moving to push it down the isle.

"Sam said he saw you earlier…" I nodded. "I just wanted to make sure you… were alright." Again I nodded.

"I'm fine, just came to do a little shopping." I said picking up my bag of chips, he nodded.

"Ok, well I have to head up to Forks for a little bit, if you need anything-"

I cut him off glaring in his direction.

"I wont. Go check on Bella, Jacob. I have stuff to do." With that I walked away, I couldn't help but to feel my heart break knowing he wanted to go check on his dear Bella. He couldn't stay away from her. I walked away from him feeling him watching me the whole time, I couldn't bring myself to look back at him. Damned if he'd see how much he hurt me. I quickly finished up my shopping heading up front to pay and get the hell out of here. My good mood quickly diminished. After paying I walked outside putting my stuff in the back I looked up to see Jacob's car in a spot close to mine, I saw him sitting there watching me. After unloading my groceries I quickly got in the car starting it and pulling out of the spot, I didn't want Jacob around me, he had made his choice and well, so had I.

After I got home and had put all my groceries away I decided it was time to try to eat something, I was starved. It was cold outside so I figured a big pot of home made beef and veggie stew is just what I needed. I sat about peeling potatoes and cutting them into big chunks, my thoughts going back to Jacob and what he and Bella might be doing. I sighed shaking the thoughts out of my mind as I poured the potatoes into the boiling water. He didn't love me… he loved her and it was high time I stopped pinning for someone who obviously didn't return my affections.

I was standing in the kitchen cleaning up the potato peelings when my door opened and Emily walked in with a smile.

"Hey Teddy."

"Hey sis… whats up?""I just wanted to stop by and ask about some wedding arrangements?" I nodded

"Oh ok, just have a seat I'm making some soup." I said flipping over the hamburger meat letting the other side brown.

"You should come back to the house, we miss you already." I smiled glancing over my shoulder at Ems."

"Maybe sometime… I can't right now." I couldn't stand to see Jacob not right now… I was already a hormonal wreck I didn't need him finding out about the baby, my baby. Emily nodded as she opened up her little planner looking up at me.

"We have a fitting next Wednesday."

"Alright, I'll be there." I said adding some veggies to my soup, Emily stood up walking over to me.

"I don't like seeing you like this…" I turned to look at Emily.

"I don't like being like this Ems… I don't like being stuck in La Push, I hate Jacob Black, I hate this whole damned mess! I love you and I will do anything for you, but I can't be around Jacob right now. If I see him anymore I don't know what would stop me from putting a knife through that empty hole he calls a heart!" Well… him being a shape shifting wolf might put a damper on that…. Emily pulled me into a hug giving me a little squeeze.

"I Love you Ami" she said just holding me, letting me lean on her for some support. I needed her right now and she knew that. Emily held me as I started to cry, she rocked me back and forth the way she did when we were children, not speaking as she walked me over to the couch and sat me down. Emily smiled kissing me head as I laid down, going back into the kitchen she finished my soup before bringing me a bowl and a grilled cheese with a smile on her face.

"I love you Amelia, and we're going to get through this…together." If she only knew how wrong she was… as soon as her and Sam boarded that plane for where it was they were going I was out of here. I couldn't stand being in this town any longer… especially when I would have a nice little baby bump before long. Jacob couldn't find out… he just couldn't. I sat there silently eating soup with my sister as we watched Maury... a tradition we had been upholding for years. I laughed as a woman jumped up in a man's face saying "I told you so!" I couldn't help it, she was crazy.

"Poor kid... I hope he dont take after her!" Emily laughed looking over at me.

"Your horrible."

"I know... but you still love me." I said giving Ems a cute little smile as she nodded eating a big bite of soup.

"Always and Forever." It was soon getting dark, Sam called Emily's cell he sounded worried, I could hear him on the other end of the phone.

"I'm with Amelia... ok I'll be home soon, I love you too." She looked at me with a sad smile.

"Go on, I'm fine. Just leave me to my soup and the tv and I'll be 100 percent fine and dandy." Emily nodded moving over to hug and kiss my forehead.

"I love you Ami."

"As I love you Ems, be careful going home." I said sending her out the door I smiled sitting back down, I sure would miss her...
