Leah woke up in the middle of the night, feeling a bit uncomfortable.
She turned around in the large bed and swung her arm around out of habit.
Panic hit her as her fingers came in contact with the cool sheets. Her heart raced as she realized that the bed was empty.
It had been empty for a while now, because the sheets were cool. And that had never happened before.
She sat up in the bed, worried. She tried to stand up. But her legs were wobbly and weak.
Slowly, she stood up and made her way towards the door. She stepped out of the room and stood there, searching the dark living room, waiting to spot the familiar figure. But there was nothing there. She continued looking around.
She breathed a sigh of relief when she saw them.
There, in the dimly lit kitchen was her husband, holding the tiny little form of their 4 months old son.
He was walking in the kitchen, gently patting on the baby's back and was singing softly.
Yeah, Embry Call was singing to his son, who was now almost asleep.
Leah's heart melted as she looked at the picture perfect scene in front of her. This is what she had dreamed of all these years. This is what she had waited for all her life.
She and Embry had started dating soon after the newborn battle, when Embry had confessed his feelings for her and had convinced her (with a lot of difficulty) to give him a chance.
There was no looking back after that.
She fell for him, hard
After dating for two years, they married.
She had always wanted kids. And the fact that she couldn't have children had hurt her more than she would ever accept. The pain intensified after their marriage.
Slowly, as Sam's daughter, Paul's son and the other kids were born, she had started closing up. So much that there was a time when she had refused to talk to even Embry.
But he was always there with her, for her. Her rock, her support, her hope…. her everything. He has saved her in more than one ways.
He had talked to her, consoled her, and had assured her that everything would be fine. He still had hope for her, that ever optimistic wolf.
With his help and support, she had stopped phasing.
After that, it had taken her 8 long months to get her cycles back. She had been so happy that day. It was her first sign of hope.
Then, they kept trying for a child for almost one year, with no luck.
Leah had some health issues and had to undergo treatment.
Finally, after several months of treatment, she had conceived.
The day they both came to know about it was one of the best moments of their life.
She was advised complete bed rest for the whole duration of her pregnancy. And he had cared for her like she was a child.
The day their son was born was the best day of their lives.
Leah would never forget that moment when they both had held their son for the first time. She had felt that she would die of happiness.
It was the most beautiful feeling ever.
She snapped out of her thoughts as she realized that Embry had stopped moving. He was now looking at her. As their eyes met, he smiled at her.
The smile that made Leah feel she was the most precious thing in the world.
The smile that made her belly flutter even after all these years.
The smile that was all Embry Call.
He switched off the light and walked towards her, holding the baby carefully.
" You should be resting baby. You need it. Why are you up?" he asked her, caressing her cheek with his free hand. He stepped inside the room and Leah followed him
"I woke up and saw that the bed was empty. I….umm...kind of panicked" she told him.
He let out a chuckle.
"Oh! Yeah. Little champ here wanted a diaper change. And he was getting all cranky. So I changed him and took him out. I didn't want to wake you up"
Leah smiled. He always cared so much for her.
He handed the baby to Leah. She planted a sweet kiss on that chubby cheek and placed him in his crib.
After making sure that he was asleep, Leah got into the bed.
Embry pulled her into his arms and kissed her on the lips.
"Love you, Lee" he whispered, smiling at her.
" More than you'll ever know, Em" she told him, kissing him again.
They had a beautiful life now. Had everything they had ever dreamed of.
Soon, they both drifted off into sweet sleep, in the comfort of each others embrace.
