That voice broke my concentration and I could no longer do it, I turned round and saw a boy no older that 17 standing in front of me wearing nothing but a cut-off pair of shorts. 'What does it look like I'm doing?' I responded though my voice was so quiet and strained it would be some feat to hear it.

'It seems to me like you were about to do something extremely stupid'

'Well you were right' I turned back round and faced the grey abyss that awaited me.

'I'm not, my job is to protect everyone and I'm not going to let you jump' he said with sincerity.

'Try and stop me then' I said backing away towards the edge of the cliff again, he shadowed my movements but took bigger steps than me, he was soon upon me.

'I'm not going to allow you to jump' he repeated, he held my arm and I felt myself fall into the arms of this stranger. I sobbed into his shoulder but he didn't seem to mind, he held me closer when my body started shaking. I suddenly felt so weak and vulnerable; it was like the foetus inside of me was sucking the life from me, which according to Emmett's information it probably was. I was soon shaking so badly that my knees gave way but fortunately this topless stranger caught me, scooping me up in his arms. 'Come on, let's take you home' he said gently.

'No!' I screamed; I couldn't go back there. 'Leave me here'

'What so you can jump as soon as I leave? I don't think so. I'm taking you somewhere'

'Fine, take me to Alice's' I couldn't say his name, it would hurt too much.

'The Cullen's house?' he questioned. I nodded; I would just hope that he wouldn't be there still, and that the others had returned from their hunting trip. 'Fine' he said though it seemed that he wasn't at all keen on the idea. He turned his back to the edge of the cliff and started walking slowly into the trees, all of the different shades of green blurred into one as, once again, the tears spilled from my eyes. 'I'm Embry by the way' so this was the person who was anonymous to me throughout these past few weeks, even in the state I was in now I couldn't help but feel a little pleased that I now knew who he was.

The rest of the journey back to the Cullen house was silent and somewhat awkward; I wasn't in the mood to talk and obviously he didn't know what to say to an upset, pregnant teenage girl. The silence was only broken by my frequent gasps at the movement of my abdomen. As we neared the house my wariness grew; Emmett left me, what if the others do as well? The house was full of noise and before Embry could knock on the door it was thrown open to reveal a furious looking Emmett. 'WOLF!' Get away, what are yo…? Kaylea? Are you ok? Why did you run off?' he made to take me from the hot arms of Embry but I wasn't going to take that.

'Don't touch me Emmett! You left me, you ran off' His look of incredulity wasn't the effect I was hoping for.

'Left you? I would never leave you. I ran to find Carlisle so he could see you' I was silent, was this the truth? 'Believe me Kaylea, I would never leave you. I thought I'd lost you before and I never want to feel that way again'

'Ok but… you could have mentioned that. Not leave me thinking I'd lost the single most important thing in my life' by this time Embry had transferred me into Emmett's arms and my hand involuntarily move to cradle his cold face. He smiled down at me and ran him hands slowly down my arm, however he paused;

'What are all these scratches on your arms? Was it you wolf?' I didn't even acknowledge his repeated use of the word wolf.

'It wasn't Embry, he saved me. I was going to…jump'

'Jump?'

'The cliff you showed me ages ago, it seemed like the best thing to do' His face changed from confused to shocked in the space of that sentence.

'Why on earth would you think that's the best thing to do?'

'I didn't think you wanted me anymore, and I didn't want to live without you'

'I told you, I only went to get Carlisle. Speaking of which I should probably put you down long enough for him to examine you, he should have finished preparing the room now' he looked around.

'Yeah but I didn't know that did I?' I looked around and saw that Carlisle had appeared at the side of Emmett that I wasn't facing.

'Kaylea?' his voice could never fail to relax me. 'I'm going to take you into the study and I'm just going to check you over, then we need to make a decision from there, ok?' I nodded. 'I don't want Emmett there, can you walk?'

'Yeah, I can do that. I'm not that much of an invalid' I smiled wryly at him and he smiled back reassuringly, like the trained doctor that he is. Emmett let down gently and I followed Carlisle, a little shakily at first but steadily as we arrived at the study.

Carlisle opened the door and I was shocked to see it prepared like a surgery's examination room, it was a little unnerving; I'd seen the kind of room in TV programmes and I knew this room was either filled with joy or despair. I had a feeling it was going to be the latter. 'Come on in Kaylea, don't be afraid'

'I'm not afraid' though I was, I didn't know what I was going to see. I walked over towards the bed and lay down on the crackly tissue paper covering it.

'Kaylea, I'm going to ask you to pull up your top, you don't have to look if you don't want to'

'Um, ok' I looked away before slowly pulling up the bottom of my hoodie, looking away though couldn't stop me from the feeling the raised skin on my stomach. Carlisle gasped and I instantly felt wary 'What is it?'

'Where did all these scratches come from Kaylea?' I breathed out.

'It's nothing, a moment of madness earlier. It made me feel better'

'Hmm, if you say so. I wouldn't recommend doing that again in a hurry though'

'Of course not, I don't know what made me do it in the first place' though I knew full well why I'd done it.

'Now Kaylea, this is going to be a little cold' I tensed but still jumped as the cold jelly touched my warm skin. I soon felt the jelly being spread across my stomach; I closed my eyes and filled my mind with thoughts of Emmett. I didn't want to think that there was an image of my child on a screen just feet away.

I could soon feel Carlisle wiping my stomach with tissue, riding it of the jelly. 'It's all over now Kaylea, you can sit up. I'm just going to call Emmett in and I'll tell you everything' I nodded and Emmett ran though the door, he sat next to me and placed my hands in his.

'How's our baby? Carlisle tell us!' he practically shouted.

'There is no baby'

'WHAT?' he literally shouted this time. 'What the hell you on about Carlisle?' Carlisle kept relaxed though 'Like I said, there is no baby. What Kaylea is going through right now is pseudocyesis, more commonly known as a false or hysterical pregnancy. All the symptoms of being pregnant but no actual foetus' Emmett started asking Carlisle loads of questions but I was silent; I wasn't pregnant, there was no baby inside of me and I wasn't going to die as a result from it. 'Kaylea? Are you alright? You haven't spoken' Carlisle asked me.

'I'm fine, it's just a shock. You're not kidding me are you?'

'No Kaylea' he said gently. I smiled, the first proper smile I'd smiled for a week or so.

I sat next to Emmett on his sofa, snuggled into his shoulder thinking about the last couple of weeks. I had been through a lot but I had Emmett stronger now than before, it really seems that love's strength does conquer all.
