The light in the tent flickered fast, imitating the way his heart beat in his chest. As he stood a few feet away from the tent, Jacob had feeling his life was about to change. Taking the last few hesitant steps, he entered, not at all surprised to see Paul and Quil. They had all gotten a note from the same girl to meet up there. But what caught his eye was the way the other two men hovered over something. Suddenly, his friends turned toward him, their face a mask of worry and anger.
"Congratulations, Black. Because of you, we're all in some deep trouble." Paul fumed, moving aside to reveal a little basket with a…
"What the heck is that?" Jake asked, earning another glare from the other two men.
"That, my boy, is a freaking baby. The outcome of the foursome you planned for us. That bloody note is from the curvy chick you invited over to your place all those months ago." Paul looked like he was about to punch Jake in the face.
"Look, Jake. She says the baby was conceived that day—that it belongs to one of us. What the hell are we supposed to do man? I'm not taking responsibility." Quil rambled as Jake looked at him in disbelief.
"Right." Paul jumped in. "I can't keep a rock alive if I tried. What makes you think I can care for that little thing? Besides, it was all your idea. And you were the one who yelled about the chick being on birth control—that she was cool with uncovered lovin'—it's only fair you step up and do the right thing."
Before he could react, the boys handed the basket to Jake and left the tent, muttering 'congrats, dad' as they left.
Mustering all the courage he had, Jake looked down at the baby only to find the miniature version of him staring back at him with wide innocent eyes. Jake cursed himself and closed his eyes, taking in deep breaths.
He slowly opened his eyes when her felt two warm hands shaking his shoulder, confused when he realized he was in his bedroom, Embry, Quil and Paul looking at him, and the baby… well there was no baby in the room.
It took him a moment to realize this was all a dream. A very bad dream. Sighing in relief, he got up and went into the kitchen to get water, his pack brothers following right behind him, confused and waiting for him to say something.
"Jake, you OK? You said you had a little surprise for us. What's up man?" Embry asked, always the caring one. Nodding, he plopped down on the nearby chair, thinking of ways to get out of his plan. Just as he was about to tell them everything, there was a knock on the door. Oh shit!
"Imma get that." Paul walked to the door, smirking when he saw Lauren Mallory waiting on the porch. Stepping aside, he let her come in.
"What brings you here, beautiful?" He whispered, making her giggle.
"What? Jake didn't tell you?" She turned toward Jake with a fake admonishing look. "No problem. I'll tell you."
Placing her hand bag on the couch, she stood in the middle of the living room, enjoying the attention she was getting from the native hunks.
"Jakey here, wanted to have some fun with his best buddies. I'm here to just help him with it." She opened the coat she was wearing and let it slip off her shoulders, revealing her sexy curves, making the eyes staring at her go wide.
"Wait." Jake shouted. "The plan is cancelled. Y-you should get going. I'm sorry for the trouble."
Lauren smirked at him, raising his chin with the tip of her index finger. "Aww, Jake! You look flustered already." Stepping closer to him, she whispered. "I didn't come all the way here just so you could yell at me. Now, shut up and get ready for one hell of a night."
Not waiting for his response, she turned away and started walking toward his room, Quil and Paul following her like little puppies. Jake looked at Embry, hoping his best bud would have a way to get him out of this mess. But he was shocked when Embry left without a second glance toward the girl. "Sorry, bro. I've got patrol duties, and I'm not really into this group thing. Careful, Jake."
Sinking to the floor, Jake slapped a hand over his face, wishing he had never come up with the stupid plan. But Jake's panic level hit the roof when he realized something—Embry wasn't in the dream. It was just him, Paul and Quil in the dream. Did that mean...
Ohhh shit!
