Storks And Wolves
Chapter 5
Seth, check.
Mom, check.
Jake, check.
Quill and Embry, double check.
Sam and Emily…..not so check.
It had been a week since I have come out to my pack. A whole week of avoiding Sam and Emily at all costs. Even anyone from his pack I avoided. And for good reason. My smell had changed.
Seth had been the first one to notice it. We had been at the table when he leaned forward and sniffed me. I swatted at him and told him to stop but he kept on doing it. Finally I got fed up and snapped at him.
“Dude you’re in my space,” I said.
“I’m sorry Leah but you smell different,” He said.
“Different how?” I asked curiously.
“Different like, I don’t know. It wasn’t as strong before. But I feel…protective of you,” He said.
“Of course you do I’m your sister,” I said.
“No, it’s like…you know the feeling we get when were around vampires?” He asked.
Of course I did. Even when I was around the Cullens I had to fight down the urge to not attack them.
“Well it’s like that, only it’s like my wolf wants me to make sure I protect you,” He said.
I didn’t like the sound of that. I gave Embry a call. Jake and Quill where busy with their imprints, and since Embry was the only other guy besides Seth who hasn’t imprinted.
So Embry came over confused as to why I told to him to come over without any explanation. I had him sit down next to me and watch TV, and when he tried to ask I told him to shut up and watch. So he sat there begrudgingly and after a while he seemed just as interested in my smell as Seth was. Every once and a while he would sniff the air. Then he began to slowly lean next to me taking in bigger and bigger whiffs. It wasn’t until he was leaning his head on my shoulder when I nudged him. He looked surprised by his own actions.
“Leah did you get a new perfume?” He asked.
“Does Pregnant count?” I asked.
He looked confused.
“I’ve been acting weird around her the same way,” Seth said.
“I feel like I should protect you,” Embry said.
“Damn it, Seth get me the phone,” I said.
“Who are you calling?” Embry asked.
“Jake who else,” I said dialing his number.
“But he is with Ness,” Seth said.
“I don’t care this is important. Think about it. If this is what you guys are like imagine what Sam’s pack might be like, we need to know if being an imprinter is effected differently or not,” I said.
The phone rang five times. “Leah what you know I’m with Nessie,” Jake said sounding irritated.
“Jake I got something to tell you,” I said.
I told him about Embry and Seth.
“Okay, I’ll be right over,” He said and he hanged up.
“Man I need something to eat,” I said hanging up.
“You want a sandwich?” Embry asked.
“Sure, P, B and J please,” I said.
“Coming right up,” Embry said getting up to make me the sandwich.
“You want something to drink with that?” Seth asked.
“Sure, some milk,” I said surprised. The guys weren’t normally so chivalrous. I wonder. I pulled my cell out and dialed Jake again.
He answered on the third ring.
“What?”
“Jake stay there we’ll come to you,” I said.
“Why?” He asked.
“I need Edward and Jasper for a little experiment,” I said and hanged up.
“Here is your sandwich,” Embry said handing me a napkin and the sandwich.
“And your milk,” Seth said handing me a cup of milk.
“After I’m done eating we are all going over to the leeches,” I said taking a bite out of my sandwich.
“Why?” Embry asked looking cautious. He hasn’t warmed up to them yet.
“We need to test a theory out,” I said.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Embry drove us to the Cullens.
When we got there I sent a loud and clear message for Sir Emo to be ready for us. He met us at the door looking grumpy.
“Are you still on about that?” He asked me.
He lead us to Carlisle study where Jake, Carlisle and Jasper where already waiting for us. Embry and Seth walked side by side with me, like a pair of body guards. Edward kept on shooting them confused looks, and Jasper…was just Jasper. Blank face as usual.
“Alright Leah what seems to be the problem?” Carlisle asked.
I told them about Seth and Embry’s strange behavior, and my new smell.
“You are starting to smell pregnant,” Jasper said.
“I’m not starting to smell appetizing am I?” I asked.
“No, although I must say the sweet smell of new life does make your presence more tolerable,” He said with a small smile.
My god! He can smile.
Edward smiled as well seeing my thoughts. I then made an image of him in shining armor looking all depressed, and he glared at me.
“Hmm Jake do you smell it?” Carlisle asked.
“Yeah I smell it, but I don’t think I am feeling it as strongly as Seth and Embry,” He said.
“You’re not, for some reason there effected more by it then you are,” Jasper said.
“Why?” Seth asked.
“He is the Alpha,” Embry said.
“Maybe because he imprinted,” I said.
“It must be your pregnancy is creating a pheromone that makes other wolves very protective of you,” Carlisle said. “It is obvious this began once your pregnancy was able to continue its process it must be able to create a pheromone that causes this reaction in other wolves.”
“Call Quil up. We need to know if it affects imprinters less or if you being the heir gives you this immunity,” I said.
“I hate to pull him away from Claire,” Jake said.
“Yes, yes. Imprinting is good, makes you feel whole, yada, yada,” I said. “But if this is what none imprinters are like imagining what all the wolves from Sam’s pack will be like. Or Sam, who knows how this would affect him because he is the father I mean they are blood re-.” I stopped talking. Blood related? Seth was my brother and Embry…We still didn’t know who his father was. What if the reason Seth and Embry are effected so much more then Jake was because they had a blood relation to the kid? Seth because he was my brother, and maybe Embry because he was Sam’s half-brother. That made this test all the more important, because I might be able to help Embry finally get the closure he always wanted.
“Leah what’s wrong?” Seth asked.
“Nothing just over thinking things,” I said glancing at Embry. “Call Quil up and tell him to come over here.”
“He might not want to,” Jake said.
“Then tell him either he gets his ass over hear or I’ll drag him over here,” I threatened.
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
“This better be good,” Quil said angrily as he walked into the study.
“Quil smell me,” I said.
“What?” He asked confused.
“Just get over here and tell me if I smell different,” I said annoyed.
He walked over and gently sniffed at me. He scrunched up his face in a confused way. “You smell different,” He said.
“I’m pregnant,” I said.
“Do you feel any different Quill?” Carlisle asked.
“No, I don’t think,” He said.
“What is going on Jasper?” Jake asked.
“I think the theory of imprinting giving you immunity to the smell was correct. He is feeling more protective of her, but not as strongly as Seth or Embry. Jake hasn’t gotten any stronger feelings to protect her so I think we can rule out the possibility of more time around her affecting some one more strongly,” He said.
“So what because we don’t have imprints we feel more protective of her?” Embry asked.
“That is obvious from your thoughts alone. This thing is similar to imprinting but nowhere as strong. For as long as you have been around Leah you have both been concerned about her and her well being, Jake has shown more concern for her well being then usual but like Jasper said nowhere near as much as you two,” Edward said.
“Females are very important to a normal wolf society. It is always important for the females to breed and produce the next generation. It has been seen in studies of wild wolves that when the Alpha female becomes pregnant the others become more protective of her,” Carlisle said.
“This is going to be one fucked up pregnancy,” I muttered.
“So what where going to be Leah’s baby slaves until she gives birth?” Embry said sounding alarmed.
“And what about Sam’s pack? There are plenty of wolves who haven’t imprinted, what will happen to them if they catch a whiff of her? I mean maybe because there in a different pack they might get an immunity right?” Seth asked sounding nervous.
I had a mental image of me on a throne while over a dozen men worshiped my every need. Maybe this pregnancy wasn’t such a bad thing after all.
“I think it’s best not to find out, what I want to know how I’m going to be able to walk out my own house without anyone else getting a smell of me,” I said.
“Yeah, with the way our smell is enhanced who knows what would happen if one of them caught you scent,” Quill said.
“I’m sure we will figure something out. In the mean time how would you all like some dinner. I told Esme you would all becoming and she has prepared some food for you,“ Carlisle said.
“I could use some food,” I said. I noticed Edward had discreetly taken Jacob aside and was whispering something into his ear. Unfortunately our hearing isn’t as strong as the vampires so all I could hear was some low whispering.
I was about to walk out with Seth and Embry flanking me but Jake stopped me. “We need to talk,” He said looking slightly angry. I glared at Edward and saw he was looking anywhere but my direction.
“We’ll wait for you Leah,” Seth said.
“No it’s okay I’ll be right down,” I said.
After everyone left Jake and I was left all alone. Something in my gut was telling me I was about to go through one of those emotional roller coasters. We just stood there staring at each other, he wanted to talk so I’ll let him start this off.
“Do you know what Edward just told me?” He asked.
“I have a feeling it has something to do with me,” I said.
“He told me he picked out a few interesting thoughts from your head while we were waiting for Quil. I think you know what,” He said.
Shit! Fucking Emo Leech bastard! I swear I’ll tear him apart for this. Stupid sparkly prick! I should have known better then to be in the same room as him. I had been thinking about the baby situation and all my options. Even the less then pleasant ones. What right did he have to go and tell Jacob what I was thinking!
“Leah calm down,” Jake said sternly seeing me shaking. I had gone so long not phasing, it would be a shame to start now.
“I good,” I said doing my breathing exorcises I learned when I took up yoga.
“Leah, are you really considering having an abortion?” Jake asked softly.
I turned my head away. I didn’t want to see the judgmental look in his eyes.
“Leah talk to me,” He said gently moving my face to look at him.
I looked in his eyes and saw nothing accusing, or judgmental in them. “I am putting the idea under consideration, but whether or not I will do it is still up for grabs,” I said.
“Leah, why would you do that?” He asked confused. “I mean I know how bad you want a child Leah, why would you even consider that?”
“Remember what I was like when I joined the pack?” I asked.
“How can I forget,” He said with a smile.
“I don’t want to be that woman any more Jake. I don’t want to be sad pathetic Leah pinning over Sam. I don’t want to be a angry bitter person all my life. And I can’t do that if I’m around him Jake,” I said. My eyes were beginning to burn from tears. “You have seen my memories Jake. You know how much I loved him. You know what it’s like to love someone so much but they don’t love you like that. You know what it’s like to see that person love someone else more then you,” I said referring to his onetime crush on Bella Swan.
“Yes I do, but I got over it,” He said.
“No, you found yourself a nice imprint to help you forget that. I don’t have that luxury Jake. I can’t just run away, I can’t go to my soul mate because I don’t have one, and I can’t forget. I have tried, God have I tried to forget. To forget the sound of his voice, to forget the feel of his hair between my fingers, to forget how special he could make me feel with a single look, to forget how he made me feel like the center of his world, to forget how perfect we were when we made love. I was making progress I think Jake, but this baby would cause me to have to be around him more then I have been since we split. And I can’t do it Jake, I can’t watch as him and Emily help raise our child together, to know that it won’t be my bed he will be lying in. Because it will cause me to remember all the good times Jake and I just ca-ca-can’t do it,” I said breaking into tears.
Jake stepped forward and wrapped me into a hug, “Shh its okay,”
“No its not,” I said pushing him away. “Every time I try to move on and get on with my life this damn Werewolf thing comes along and fucks my life up. When is it going to get better Jake? When am I going to get my happy ending huh?” I said angrily.
“I’m sorry Leah; I didn’t stop to think how bad this could be for you. But I promise you, you won’t be going through this alone. You have you pack, and your family waiting to help you,” He said.
“Thanks Jake. I’m not going to promise not to have an abortion. But I will give more thought on what to do.”
“You need to tell Sam and Emily,” He said.
“I know, I know. But I don’t know if I can tell them alone,” I said.
“Weren’t you listening? I told you, you didn’t have to do this alone,” He smiled.
“Thanks Jake, but can we just wait a little while longer,” I said.
“Chicken,” He mocked playfully.
“You have no idea,” I laughed.
“I’ll wait Leah, but please, don’t wait till the kid is eighteen to tell Sam,” He said.
“Well let’s go before my new nanny’s get worried. And I have a vampire to skin,” I said.
Edward if you can hear me.
YOU ARE SO DEAD SIR EMO!
fusedtwilight: I know Edward shouldn't have told such an important thing but he is from the early nineteenth century, so he would have strong feelings about abortions. I also wanted Jake and Leah to have a moment together for some bonding. And the whole wolves protecting the pregnant females thing i just came up with. I have no idea how wolves treat a pregnant female but i figured something like that. Please review
