Nessie

"He was right." I whispered, looking at myself in the mirror, absolutely horrified. I didn't even turn when I heard the door open.

"Ness? You're up already?" Jacob asked quietly. He'd just gotten back from running around with his Pack. There was a few drops of sweat trickling down his chin. The best part was that it dropped onto his naked chest, but I really wasn't going to be ogling that just yet.

"He was so right." I repeated. Jake just looked at me, confused. He slowly walked towards me with his bare feet barely making a sound on the carpet. His hand was even warmer than I remembered as he slid it down my shoulder and continuing down my arm until he grasped my hand.

"Who was? And...what are you look- " Jake stopped mid-sentence when his eyes got to my stomach. My stomach that used to be covered by a huge shirt that he had given me, but it was now scrunched up underneath my bra so I could get a good look at it. My stomach, that is.

No wait. Not my stomach. This big puffy, bump that was right between my hips. My nails drummed on the side of it with anxiousness.

"Whoa." He muttered in a low, rumbly voice I hadn't heard him use, ever. He was revolted by me, wasn't he?

"You sure...grew..." I squeezed my eyes shut and bit my lip hard. There was a long few minutes of silence. My eyes burned. And not like the regular burn. It was like...a burn that hurt. And if I opened my eyes and let oxygen hit them, the burn would get even worse.

"Ness!" Jake yelled, moving my shoulder around so that I was facing him. my back towards the mirror.

"You said you wanted to have a baby! Don't cry!" My shoulders shook and I leaned my forehead against his chest. It didn't feel that nice, since my face always gets so warm when I cry, but I loved the hot on Jacob's body anyway.

He worriedly wrapped his big, muscley arms around my shoulders and kissed my hair. He just held me through a few of my sobs, getting a little more antsy everytime I hiccupped.

"Please don't be scared. I'll make sure everything is perfect." My breath stopped suddenly and my eyes widened. I pressed my hands into his chest and leaned away from him so I could look him in the face. I just imagined what I looked like. My eyes all puffy and red, tears dribbling out the corners like a little kid.

"That's not it." I said, just a bit louder than I meant to. His eyebrows came together in another worrisome face. Absently, I wondered what Billy was doing. There was a lot of noise going on outside the door.

"What's wrong then?" My chin trembled and I didn't even have to blink for the tears to escape my eyes. I took in a gasp of air and like a child, cried out,

"I'm so fat!" Followed by another round of sobbing in a whiny voice. Jake shook.

"Don't laugh!" I whined again and he sucked in a breath, a small chuckle slipping out but he contained it inside himself, shaking like he was freezing cold. Pfff, like that would happen to my Jake. More noise outside the door...like shuffling, not as loud as before.

"Yeah, sorry." He said breathlessly. I made a face at him.

"Don't give me that grin." He did anyway and I pretty much melted into a teary puddle of goo. He swiped his thumb underneath my eye and sighed.

"Jeez, what am I gonna do with you?" I was about to ask him about the noise since it was sort of starting to bug me, but my question was answered when three tall, shirtless men barged into the room, falling over each other.

"Shit, Quil! I think you broke my toe!" Embry roared, pushing him into Jake's wall. Quil laughed the entire time even though I flinched when his face slammed right into the hard wood.

"Sorry! Seth was walking so slow!" The shortest of the three rolled his eyes.

"Well who was the one to push me through Jake's door? They could've been naked for all we know!" My face burned and the sensation continued down my neck and skimmed my shoulders. Quil just erupted into more laughter.

Jacob raised an eyebrow at them and cleared his throat. They all looked up, silenced...for the time being.

Seth looked like he might jump out the window, Embry just looked annoyed, and Quil was grinning sheepishly. And, at practically the same time Jake did, their eyes turned to me.

"Hey there, Dhampy, how's the preggo life goin' for ya?" Embry said, passing Seth and Quil to fall down onto Jake's bed with a huff.

"Uh... just magnificent?" I said, raising an eyebrow as well. And before I could warn Jake not to move away from he...well...he moved away from me. And all three of the werewolf boys' eyes were on my stomach.

"Oh my god." Seth whispered, his dark eyes bugging out.

"Holy..." Said Quil in the same awed tone. Embry didn't say a word. He just stared with his mouth agape. Jake's chest rumbled with a growly sound as he narrowed his eyes at them and then he turned back to me.

"I think your beautiful no matter what, alright?" He whispered, giving me that damned grin of his that made me blush, even when I was thirty pounds heavier than I was last night.

"Thank you." I said, smiling at him. He was laughing again and I guessed it was because I was perfectly happy now when I was sobbing and whining not even five minutes before.

He stepped back and I sighed as the three guys were still staring at my bump.

"Hi!" I yelled, waving erratically in front of their faces. Seth and Quil snapped out of it but Embry was still looking at it, one brow up and one brow down as if my belly was really confusing him.

"Hey Nessie! Haven't seen you in awhile!" Seth said, smiling at me. He was what? In his twenties but he still acted like a sixteen-year-old and still looked like...he was twenty. But that was only because of the wolf-ness.

"Hey Seth! Did you get taller?" I asked sarcastically, stepping around Jacob and walking to Seth to hug him around his scorching waist.

"Probably. I'm not going to be able to fit through the door next time." He said, hugging back. I laughed, rolling my eye at him and then joining Embry on the bed. His eyes were still glued to my little Monster's home. I sighed and poked his head.

"Hello? You could just take a picture of my belly and look at it later if you want." I could hear Jake growl again in the background but knew he knew I was teasing. Finally, he shook his head and looked up at me.

"Nah, I'm fine. It's just..." He glanced at it again and I sort of wanted to ask Jake if he'd punch him. But his next words took my breath away.

"Aren't you guys wondering about what it's...gonna be? Like...vamp or wolf? It's sort of hard to think about." Embry raised his eyebrows at me.

"Oh yeah...I didn't even think of that..." Quil said, looking up at Jake. I snuck a glance at him too and his face was hard, like he really didn't want to talk about it.

"Maybe it'll be both! Like half wolf and half vamp! And then everyone would like it." Seth said. Damn him and his optimism.

"Seth." Jake said, the hard look already wiped from his face and an annoyed, tired-looking one replaced it.

"Shut up."

"Mmkay." I waited a few seconds to see if anyone was going to say anything, and then spoke,

"Maybe. It's just like when I was inside Bella and they couldn't see me or penetrate me with needles...so it's obviously vampire." I sighed and flung myself onto my back just like Embry had. I even made the same huffy sound.

"But who knows? All I know is that it's going to suck if it tries to rip out of me like I did with my mom, 'cause I'm not going to be turned in any direction except actual death."

Okay. Maybe that was just a bit too hardcore for them to listen to. Especially Jake, since I was bringing his worst nightmare into words. But the rest of the, were silent, freaked out by my little speech, most likely. Ah yes silence.

That awkward silence.

Again.

"So...." The voice of Quil sounded, partnered with the sliding sound of his back going down the wall until he was sitting on the floor.

"What's gonna happen with the rest of the vamps? We all saw what happened in Jakes head." At this moment, I don't know if I love Quil more than I ever have for changing the subject, or if I hate Quil more than I ever have for changing the subject to this.

"I told my father he could chew on my uterus. I don't have a clue what I'm going to do." I said in total dead pan. I glanced at the laughing that had started.

"I'm sure Edward will get over it." Seth assured and I felt weird when my eyes started tearing up again.

"Maybe you should have told him that you were going to have Paul do it." Quil snorted, snarling at me to show the hilarity of his joke. I snorted a few laughs myself and then sighed.

"I guess I went a little overboard wit it, huh? At least I shouldn't have winked at him. Gah."

"Leah thought the wink was hilarious. She was practically crying she was laughing so hard." Embry called, chuckling himself. I sat up straight and smiled big.

"Seriously?!" Quil and Jake looked amused at me and Seth just grinned.

"Yeah. She thought the whole thing was great and she said she'd love to see you do it again. Like a sequel to her favorite book or something." I sighed again, content with myself. It wasn't a normal thing for me to impress Leah or to make her happy with something I did, besides stay away from her.

I don't think she liked me all that much. It's not like we fight and hate each other or anything like that...it's just...we don't...mix well. It's like putting razor blades in a blender.

I was brought back to the world when Quil laughed again. His laugh was one of those that really made me smile and everyone around him happy. It was higher than his deep, rumbling voice and he just had it. That kind of laugh that was REALLY contagious.

"And then, she started thinking really girly stuff that I didn't think her mind was capable of." He said between laughs, practically laying on the floor.

"What'd she say or...think?" I asked curiously. The other guys chuckled too but shook their heads.

"Shut up, Quil." Jake ordered.

"Yeah, you'll ruin it!" Seth shouted.

"Idiot." Embry added in, not even looking away from the ceiling to say it. I frowned. They were going to surprise me with something, weren't they? Man, I hate surprises. They really, really....scare me.

Don't think I'm a scaredy-cat or anything. I'm closely associated with large groups, (I mean covens- wait I mean packs)......of Werewolves and Vampires. A surprise wasn't always such a good thing. Or it was such an amazingly great thing that it was way too much.

Oh lord.

Then, the phone call. That damned phone call that pretty much ruined my life.

Well, okay, preggo emotions are kind of making me dramatic but...it seemed like after that call, everything went downhill in my life.

Everyone was quiet in the room like they knew what was coming. Like the phone ringing was the worst sound they could have ever heard.

I could hear Billy wheeling himself to the phone and after the third ring it stopped as he picked it up. I wasn't sure if the guys could hear Billy, but I certaintly could. The other person was a woman and that's all I could tell. Her words were jumbled and fast and ridden with sobbing.

"Emily? Emily, is that you? What is it?" Billy asked worriedly. The girl that seemed to be Emily sobbed again and continued with more jumbled up words.

"Missing? Wait...you just need to calm down! Take a deep breath and tell me." Billy mmhmed and listened to the mumbles of the crying girl. He gasped once and then sighed.

"I'll tell them. Okay. I'm sure they'll be there soon. Goodbye." I could hear the voice give a small, broken 'bye' and then Billy hung the phone back on the receiver. He sat in his wheelchair for a few minutes, probably readying himself to give us this unknown news. And then he slowly wheeled himself across the floor towards Jake's room.

It was the loudest silence I've ever heard. My heart was beating it's normal fast beat, but it was beating hard in my throat, practically choking off my air supply.

When he was finally here, after an agonizing fifteen seconds of rolling to the door, he took exactly two deep breaths before knocking. The first for the relief on his chest, and then the next to get ready for the impact?

"Kids?" Billy said softly, opening the door all the way so he could see all of us. But his eyes landed on Quil and just stayed there.

"What's up, Dad?" Jacob asked, taking a step forward as if he was ready to jump up and kill the entire town if that's what was getting those two upset. Billy sighed and looked down at his lap before continuing.

"They can't find Claire. She was down by the creek over at the park and they say she dissapeared." I felt my eyes widen and my lips parted in shock. I got to my feet without even thinking, so I could be next to Jacob's side. Most everyone's eyes, including my own, were on Quil.

"But...the park was at noon yesterday. They just figured she'd gotten lost and didn't tell anyone, but now they are thinking..." Billy took a deep breath and watched himself wring his own hands.

"That she was kidnapped......there have been two or three kidnappings around here and so far they've only found one body. An eight-year-old girl, bruised and beaten and...naked. But they don't know for sure if Claire's gotten kidnapped by the same person and..."

He turned his head to look at Quil, but the shirtless boy was already up and passing Billy out the door.

"Quil!" Seth and Billy called out to him but he was already gone. The front door slammed shut. Billy's forehead creased as he looked up to Jake.

"They are starting searching parties and the police have gotten onto the case quite a while ago. Maybe you should follow him." Jacob just nodded at his father, motioning Embry and Seth towards the door and they both hopped up, following his orders and making their way outside. Jake turned to me and kissed my fore head, held my hand tightly and then spun around to go join the others.

I stood there, feeling almost panicky. But it didn't seem like anything this bad could happen to such a cute, little girl like Claire so it was almost too hard to beleive. I bit my lip and meant to clench my fists, but something hard and cold was in the hand that Jacob had just held. I looked curiously into my pale hand and found the keys to his car.

I thought for a minute and not too long after, I made the decision to go to Emily's house and see what I could do.

I'm sure they didn't have a job for a blimp like myself, but I could at least try.

Don't hate! T-T

I love you my readers! Smooch! xDDD

I'll see you next chapter!
