THREE WEEKS LATER

{Valerie}

I want this freaking kid out. I stand up looking down at my round stomach sighing when I remember I look like I ate a huge watermelon whole.

Walking, (Sophe says waddling) to the kitchen was quickly becoming a chore and I stop in front of the fridge.

I don't know what I want to eat. I'm hungry, but there's a lot that I'm hungry for.

"Ugh!" I say throwing my head back and placing my head on the fridge.

You know I wonder if vampires get skinny right after having the kid, or if I have to work out. Because if I have to work out... I look down at my stomach once more then place my forehead back on the fridge.

I've got some work to do.

Slowly stepping back I open the fridge letting the fluorescent lights pour out of the fridge and on the floor with a gust of cool air.

Food has ever looked better than it does right now.

Okay, I want something with meat, then some chips, and lettuce or salad, then maybe some soda and why the heck don't I just throw in an orange.

If you couldn't tell, I'm trying to watch my diet.

I laugh at my joke and grab sub sandwich bread, meats, cheese, mayo everything to make a sandwich, along with chips, an orange, some root beer, water and salad.

Wow... the pack house isn't going to have food by the time this pregnancy is over.

Why must vampires and wolves have such huge appetites?!

I grab all my food and waddle back to the living room with all my food and drinks in hand then sigh in relief when I set everything on the table.

I wonder when Greyson's going to realize it's three in the morning and I'm not there.

I shrug then turn on the T.V. putting on I Am Legend. I love this movie.

I sit there watching with a horrified expression when the infected human starts screaming and waiting for the sun to leave.

"Come on! Oh my gosh reach up and cut it! No, don't- dog come back! Oh." I slap my hand against my forehead shaking my head.

I thought maybe if I talked to them more then the movie would magically change and the dog would be okay.

I hear a faint rustle of sheets, a thump, and then a bang.

"Greyson's up." I say with an evil smile.

I should've told him I was coming downstairs but it's funny watching him run around.

"Sweetheart? Val? Valerie?!" I hear the pounding get heavier and I realize he's coming downstairs.

I look down at my half eaten sub and my empty glasses.

I want some more water and popcorn.

I get up going into the kitchen for the third time tonight putting popcorn in the microwave and getting a glass for water.

I feel strong arms encircle around me as I fill the cup up then sigh.

"You can't do that to me." Greyson murmurs then places a soft kiss to my neck making me laugh.

He rests his head on my shoulder and we stand there for a while until Greyson sweeps me off my feet.

"You need some sleep, my Luna." He says then starts carrying me out of the kitchen.
