Pawed

Elijah's P.O.V.

I walk out of the bathroom in a daze. I walk up to Tristen.

"You knew didn't you?" I ask.

"Knew about what?" He asks.

"That's why you called me? That's why I'm here? Not because you want to get to know me...but because you knew." I say.

"Oh...that. Look, Elijah, I didn't know exactly but I saw Karen and she said she was helping a friend. She walked towards the bathrooms and pulled out the pregnancy test box then you called and said Mel was here with Karen. I didn't know...but is she actually?" He asks.

I look down at the ground, not answering.

"Elijah, is Melanie pregnant?!" He shout/ whispers.

I stay looking at the ground, but this time nod my head. I look up and see Tristen as white as snow.

"I have to go, Tristen. I need to talk to her about this..." I trail off.

"I'm coming with you!" Tristen says.

"No! Your not the dad so you don't get to come!" I shout.

"Oh...she didn't tell you? I should let her tell you instead of me... But I'm coming because I am partially her mate and deserve to know." Tristen says.

I realize this is a losing argument and agree. "But your taking your own car." I say forgetting about the whole she should tell you part.

When I get home, I can't find Mel anywhere. I walk up the stairs and hear crying coming from our bedroom. I tap on the door. "Mel? Sweetheart, are you okay?" I ask. I get no reply. After waiting outside I just open the door quietly. I poke my head in and ask, "Mel are you okay? Can I come in?"

"Eli...I have something to tell you." She sobs.

"What is it? You know you can tell me anything." I say walking in and sitting next to her. She crawls into my lap and hugs me.

"I- I- I..." She breaks her chain of thought and sobs. I pull her closer and rock back and forth. When she's done sobbing I ask her something.

"What your going to tell me...does it have anything to do with...this?" I take the pregnancy test out of my pocket.

"How did you...? Oh god! I knew I should've hidden it better!" She screeches.

"Ooookkkkaaaayyyyy! You can defiantly tell your pregnant." I say.

She laughs but it dies down as she realizes I insulted her. She slaps me upside the head and walks away cursing me.

"Um...Mel don't you want to know the facts?" I ask.

"Facts about what? Being pregnant? I already know." She says.

"It's different being a werewolf. Your only pregnant for four months." I shout.

She pokes her head in our room. "Really?" She asks curiously.

"Sit down and I'll tell you all about it..." I tempt.

She walks in the room and sits on my lap. She hits me on the chest and laughs. "Okay, mister, tell me all about it. I should let you tell me since I am a new wolf..." She keeps talking but I tune out.

"I should let her tell you..." Tristen's voice rings in my head.

"Mel...before I tell you the facts can you tell me something?" I ask.

"Of course, Eli. What do you wanna know?"

"Did something happen between you and Tristen?" I ask.

She stiffens when I ask that. She removes her hands from around my waist and looks me in the eyes. Her face is paler than the whites of my eyes. "Why w-would y-y-you as-ask?" She stutters.

"You stuttered? Did something happen between you two? And don't avoid the question this time." I say.

"Elijah I-I didn't mean to. I mean, I did at the time...but I still love you!..."

"Just answer the question." I say getting impatient.

She waits for a moment before she says something that shock my life forever...

"I slept with Tristen..."
