chapter 46

RUBY'S POV

"Jacob is better"

"Absolutely not!"

"You have bad taste"

I roll my eyes and cross my arms, turning my attention back to the tv. We're watching the second twilight movie, New Moon, and Harry is arguing with me over Edward or Jacob.

Edward is obviously the best one out of the two. With his amazingly shaped cheekbones, his strength, his body. What's there not to like?

"He left Bella! He's an asshole" he argues more.

I furrow my brows and look over at him, "if that was you, would you want me to hate you?"

"I would never leave you. I'm not an ass" he shrugs, scooting closer to me.

We're wrapped up in a blanket sitting beside each other and we're almost done the movie. He's really into it, I'm surprised.

"He didn't have a choice" I say back with confidence.

He rolls his eyes at me flops his head down on my lap while the rest of his body stays curled up in a ball under the blanket. I laugh at how big of a baby he looks but it's adorable. I run my fingers in his hair as we watch the last few minutes of the movie.

"I bet your mum will be on my side" he mutters.

"She definitely won't be" I laugh.

I haven't once thought about what will happen once my mom gets home until now because her car just pulled into the driveway. Here comes the sick feeling in my stomach.

"Fuck sakes" I murmur, leaning my head back on the couch.

Harry sits up and pulls me into his chest and runs reassuring circles down my back, "it's okay baby. I'll be right here with you"

I close my eyes and listen to the front door open and close. I hear her kick her shoes off, hang her jacket up, put her keys on the small hook and walk down the hall until she stops at the living room entrance with a smile.

"How was lunch?" Harry smiles politely at her.

"It was amazing!" She smiles then looks at the tv, "twilight, huh?"

I wait for it to come. I know it will.

"Team Edward or Jacob?" Harry says with a little bit of hope.

There it is.

My mom widens her eyes as she sits on the chair beside the couch, "is that even a question? Edward all the way"

Harry groans and tilts his head back on the couch, "Marie! I thought you'd be on my side with this"

"Told you she wouldn't" I laugh.

I know what he's doing. He's stalling. He's giving me time to calm down before we have to sit her down and tell her everything.

She laughs and says, "sorry Harry. Vampires are just so much better"

He holds up his hand and says jokingly, "nope. I feel betrayed"

We all start laughing but I'm the first one to stop because the nerves are eating me alive. I take a deep breath and just go for it.

"Mom? Can we talk to you?"

Harry's arm tightens around me as he meets my eye. He leans over to press a quick peck on my forehead.

"What about? Oh my god! Are you pregnant?!" She exclaims, jumping out of her seat.

"No- no. Definitely not" I chuckle, standing up after her. "Let's go to the kitchen"
