fusedtwilight: Thank you so much to my reviewers! Is anyone going to watch the mtv movie awards? I alreday voted for twilight in all the catagorys it was nominated for.
Sam P.O.V
Seth and I were crashing through the forest. We were all fur and claws, snarling and biting at each other while we ran. He was taking far more damage than I was, if I was still the boy’s Alpha I would just order him to stop. I didn’t want to hurt him; it was not him I was angry at. I understood why he was doing this, but I wasn’t going to let him attack me. It sucks we are fighting. It seems like only yesterday he was that little kid who followed me and Leah around when we were still an item, now here we were trying to tear each other’s throats out. We started to circle each other; the voices of my pack were in my head.
“Get that little shit Sam!” Paul roared.
“Sam Jake and Quil are coming, we out number them. What do you want us to do?” Collin asked.
“Sam what happened?” Jared asked.
I showed them all what Leah had said, my reaction, then Seth’s. Those that were phased and saw my memory were instantly outraged.
“What a load of shit!” Said Paul.
“Does she really think you’re that dumb?” Said Brady.
“Sam Stop!” Jake said.
He came rushing in, Quil hot on his trail. Seth tried to use my distraction to attack me, but I was quicker and I dodged him. I rammed into him and he let out a yelp as he was tossed to the ground. I placed my paw on his chest and put my snout next to his neck. I growled a little to let him know I didn’t want to hurt him but would put him down if he continued. He let out a whimper and phased. My paw was still on his chest and my claws dug into his flesh a little. I pulled them back a little and his flesh soon began to heal.
“Bastard!” He spat at me. I felt bad; here was the kid who once looked up to me with such anger in his eyes aimed at me. He was covered in bruises and claw marks but they were already healing. A few minutes and he would be good as new.
“Sam stop you have to listen!” Jake said.
“No!” I snarled at him. “Jake how can you fall for this? Clearly Leah’s new smell is affecting you worse then you thought.” I said.
“It’s not a trick.” He said.
He came to walk up to me, Jared and Paul growled at him.
“It’s okay,” I said to them.
Jake continued to walk to me, and Quil flanked him. He nodded over to Seth and Quil went over to where Seth had crawled to. He whined and nudged Seth who pated his head. “I’m fine, hurting like hell but fine,” He said.
“Sam it’s the truth. Leah is going to have your kid,” Jake said.
“Stop saying that! Leah herself admitted to being infertile. She made our lives hell because of it remember?”
“I know, but Sam look, what if it wasn’t being a wolf that made her infertile. What if it was because of something else?” Jake said.
“What the hell are you talking about?”
“Look when we phase we don’t age, our cells stop multiplying. What if Leah was pregnant in a stage of pregnancy that her new wolf body didn’t differentiate between her body and another? What if a fertilized egg was capable of being frozen too?” He asked.
“That is the most ridicules thing I have ever heard. Why has it taken so long for the pregnancy to show then?” I asked.
“Because it was frozen in time. Her body assumed this small cluster of cells was a part of her body and the process was halted. But when Leah stopped phasing recently the process was resumed.”
“That’s impossible Jake, it can’t be!” I said raising my voice. The prospect was terrifying. My once strong conviction was now wavering under the evidence.
“Why didn’t she show any symptoms before she phased?” I asked.
“She was. She was throwing up in the mornings, and she was late, and her sense of smell was wonky, but she chalked it all up to stress from you leaving her.”
“How can you be sure she isn’t lying?” I asked. “You haven’t been in her head if she hasn’t phased.” I said desperately. I was beginning to think of the possibility of this being true. But it just couldn’t be.
“She phased in anger not too long ago, Quil was phased at the time and I know what he knows. And Edward and Jasper can tell you she is telling the truth.” He said.
“And why should I trust a word of a Cullen?” I asked.
“Sam what would they gain in lying to you?” He asked frustrated.
“But this doesn’t make any sense. A pregnancy doesn’t work like this!” I said. I began to pace in circles. I was aware of everyone following my path back and forth.
“She is the first female of our kind, why would any normal human law apply to her?” Jake asked calmly. He knew I was beginning to see the truth.
I stopped my pacing to look him right in the eye. “She is really pregnant with my child? “I asked, my voice cracking.
“Yes,” He said.
I can’t believe it. And after all I sai- oh my god! All those things I said to her! And she was telling the truth! I did the only thing I could do now. I howled. I put all my shame and anger into that howl, I hope she can hear me, I hope she can forgive me….but somehow I doubted she would.

Leah P.O.V
We drove with the windows down. We heard the sound of a wolf howling in pain.
“I guess he knows the truth now.” Embry said.
“I don’t care.” I mumbled. I was still thinking about the look in his eyes when I told him. How they were filled with such anger and resentment. He had never looked at me like that. Not even when I was being the queen bitch of La Push. He had always looked at me with kind, yet piteous eyes. Kind because Sam was always that, and pity because he knew why I was such an asshole to everybody.
I still could not believe Emily of all people believed me. Of all the people I expected to not freak out she was not on the list. And old Quil talking about my kid like it was the next Taha Aki or something, creepy old fart. It was all too much, Sam, Emily, Quil, the baby.
“Pull over.” I said.
“What’s wrong?” Embry asked.
“I SAID PULL THE FUCK OVER!” I screamed.
He quickly pulled over to the side of the road. I jumped out of the car and ran into the woods a little bit. I made it just in time for my guts to come spilling out. I heaved mucus and other stuff out. The taste of Pickles and ice cream was in my mouth.
“Leah!” Embry said rushing to my side.
“I’m okay,” I said wiping my mouth. “Just stress.”
“Maybe we should go see Carlisle? Just to make sure the baby is okay.” He said.
“The baby is just a little bigger then my thumb Embry. Its fine, just too much angst tonight. Now let’s go home.”
“My home or your home?” He asked.
“Oh so we have a nice heated little make out season and your home is my home?” I asked with a grin.
“My door will always be open to you Leah, even if you decide there is no us.” He said.
I felt my insides squirm; I had forgotten there was even a possibility for an ‘us’. So much had happened a love life had been the last thing on my mind. But now that I was alone with him in the woods I had time to think. Could this work with Embry? Was it just hormones or a need for some comfort? I mean Embry was good looking, and I knew he thought I was on the good looking side too. But we had never even flirted; we had never shown any kind of romantic interest in each other until recently. So why now? What made now different? Was it the pregnancy? Or was it simply us spending these months together and opened up doors that had been closed before. Was I even ready for a relationship right now?
“Embry, thank you so much. For being so patient and kind to me, but I’m not sure if I am ready for a relationship right now. I mean you’re a good guy but after what happened the last time I dated a wolf. I’m not sure if not is even the right time, I would like to get back on the market don’t get me wrong,” I said looking him in the eye. “I’m not going to say no, and I’m not going to say yes. Just give me some time to think it over.” I said.
He didn’t say anything at first. Then he took my hand in his. “I’m in no hurry myself Leah. I can’t promise I won’t wind up imprinting. I wish I could but we don’t have a choice when it comes to that, I would like for this to work, I would like to take you out and get to know you better the natural way. I want to take you out to movies and take you to get dinner, and watch movies and all that stuff. I can wait Leah I have time, so don’t think I’m rushing you because I’m not. I’ll still be here for you whenever you need me,” He said.
“Thanks Embry, I think I’m going to need some of that strength soon.” I said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
I decided to go to Embry’s house.
It was closer then my place, and I knew my house would be the first place Sam would come looking for me to apologize for being a dick. I didn’t want to see him, anyone else was preferable to him. But right now I had better things to do, like the guy whose bed I was in. Let me rephrase that.
After Embry drove me home, I left a message on Mom’s cell that I was going to spend the night with him. I told her not to tell Sam. Embry and I were in his bed which was innocent and all, he had his one hand on my hip and the other played with my hair. My hand was tracing lazy patterns on his chest while he twirled a lock of hair. It was still early and I wasn’t tired so we just sat there and bullshited. I was beginning to think Embry was definitely boyfriend material. He was smart and funny, he had so many tales of his child hood and growing up. We liked many of the same kinds of books, one of them being the divine comedy.
“So Dante need’s Beatrice who represents divine love to lead him through heaven in order to complete his quest.” Embry said.
“Of course, leave it to a woman to help a man find divine forgiveness.” I said.
“In real life Beatrice was a woman who Dante loved. He loved her so much he wrote her in his poem representing divine love. Virgil leads him through hell and purgatory, but in order to traverse Heaven a person needs love.” He said.
“I always knew you are one of the sensitive ones of the pack, but poetry and reading? You’re like really smart about all this philosophical stuff huh?” I asked.
“I love writing Leah. I always dreamt of becoming a famous writer one day.” He said.
“That’s right, now I remember. The guys made fun of you for being a book worm, so have you written anything?” I asked.
“Well there is this one thing I began before I phased. But I haven’t worked on it for a while now,” He said.
“Really? You should start working on it again,” I said.
“Why? I mean I can’t become a famous author now. This wolf thing has a price you know, I can’t draw attention to myself or risk exposing us.”
“Exposing us? Embry just because you become famous doesn’t mean people will know about us being Werewolves. If it makes you happy you should do it.” I said firmly.
“Leah writers get a lot of attention depending on how well they sell or how good their work is. There is just too great a risk the attention I would receive could expose us,” He said. “And besides I’m needed here.”
“That’s Sam talking Embry, I know he was the one who told you, you shouldn’t be a writer. But you’re in Jakes pack now, you know he gives us so much more freedom then Sam ever did. I’m sure if you wanted Jake would support your decision, everyone knows how much you love to read and write.” I said.
“But I’m needed here to help protect La Push.” He said.
“Embry, you saw all the wolves Sam has in his pack. I don’t think one less wolf would make a difference.” I said.
“I don’t know…” He sighed.
“Embry, we have already given up so much to be protectors when we never even asked for it. Why should we have to sacrifice our future? How many dreams did our forefathers have to give up because of this? Take my advice Em, write your book. Write a million, if it makes you happy do it, and tell anyone who doesn’t like it to go fuck themselves.” I said.
“You know what? I think I will finish that book.” He smiled.
“Can I check it out?” I asked.
“Sure,” He said. He got up and walked over to his closet and opened the door. He rummaged in it for a few seconds a came out with a big note book. He plopped down next to me and began to tell me what it was about. The plot was a guy wound up in a coma and was lost in the realm of dreaming. In order to wake up he has to travel through the nightmares and imagination of humans. Encountering many of the deity’s and creatures of myth who only remain in the dreams of humans. It was pretty good; it had a supernatural/fantasy element to it, but at the same time was so realistic and practical. I was impressed with the amount of research he had done into the myths and legends he used for the story. And the main character was an ass, but he softened up a bit during his travels becoming more sympathetic and likeable. I was really impressed.
I noticed how Embry was more animated and happy. I hadn’t really understood how much he loved to write. Can you imagine having to give up what you love? Then you get the chance to take it back and share it with someone? I could only imagine what it was like for him. Seeing Embry this happy made me happy. To watch as he was able to open up to me and share such an important thing to me showed how close we had become. He told me he had never even talked to Quil and Jacob about this. They weren’t big on reading.
Sadly our little happy time was ruined by a loud howling. Sam was here and he wasn’t alone.
fusedtwilight: Oh boy. I wonder what will happen next? I don't know why but Embry always struck me as someone who would like to read and write. He needs a hobby. Please review and write.
