As little girls we are told our princes will come. That we would be Beautiful,Smart and Kind. That we would have a Happily Ever After. But all of a sudden you're 16 crying at the top of your lungs with a box of tissues, so young yet so full of hate...
I peer at my phone... I stare at his smiling contact picture and roll my eyes.

Should I even bother and pick up the phone? Just as it reached the last ring... I picked up.
Hesitantly I say, "H-Hello...".
"Lacie.. Hey". ...
"Um... You didn't call me... So I called you".
"Oh..." I whisper.
"Yeah... Are you alright"?
"I'm not in the mood for talking Jacob".
"Wait... Why? Did Damon do something to you? I'll kill him... Lacie we kissed we can fix this".
"The kiss was a mistake... No Damon didn't say anything... I just realized that for my well being I'm not going to get into any mix ups with you two".
His voice tenses "What do you mean"!
"I mean that we are taking a break for good! I'm not going to be in a relationship... I need to work on me and the baby! I want to be happy... And I can't do that right now. You are the father of our child so I will not deny you the right of seeing and spending time with him or her".
Jacob sighs.
"I just need time okay... So please no more apologies or advances in the future".
"I'll do my best... but why "?
"I'm serious..."
"Dawn told me why she did it... its valid, but it hurts... but you JACOB BLACK... HAD THE FUCKING CHOICE OF FUCKING HER OR NOT... YOU WEREN'T FORCED TOO... YOU DID IT BECAUSE YOU WANTED TOO". My breathing becomes heavy, I hold in the tears that were trying to come out... as I felt my throat throbbing from the pain.
"I'm tired of saying sorry to you, I said it was a mistake... I told you why It happened... why can't you understand..."?
"But, Okay Ms.Woods you're always right".
" You're the one who doesn't understand. If I were in your shoes I would wait for you till the end of the universe. You don't have the right to be mad... I guess I'll see you later Jacob...".
"Yeah... I really am so-... Never mind... take care I guess... I'll always be a phone call away".
"Yeah... Thanks.... Bye".
"Bye".
I ended the call and took a deep breathe... I need this time to work on myself and help my baby.
Some point after the conversation I had drifted off to sleep and I was awoken with a light tap on my shoulder and the smell of tea with honey in the lightly lit room. When I open my eyes... They open in shock and a mix of joy.
"Grandma!!!!"

My legs flip off the bed and I crash into her in a big embrace.
"I've missed you"!
She smiles. "I missed you too Lacie".
She looks at my belly. "Oh my you're showing now".
I smile happily. "Yeah Grandma".
"So I found out a bit of information about the little one".
I straighten up seriously ready to hear here.
"I had to speak to the other side of the family... and they weren't to pleased to see me... but when they found out that you didn't really follow in our human footsteps they were more amused to see me then." She chuckles.
"So they didn't give me much information about the baby, but because you're both witch and vampire, that baby will be very powerful, and with the added wolf gene... the end result is unknown I'm afraid".

I look at her intently.
"They gave me a list of things you should eat... And a lot of home remedies and advice".
"Well, thats a relief".
"When the baby is born they want to say their vampire queen... And heir... Since the thrown is open.. Patiently waiting for royal blood".
"Oh.. I see".
"Grandma may I ask a question"?
"Sure.. Sugar".
"Can a women really be in love with two men?."...
My grandma smiles and holds my hands in hers...
"The best advice you can give someone is to follow their heart. The mind might get lost, but the heart always knows the right direction".
I take a deep breath taking in her advice. "Thank you Grandma".
She gets up and smiles at me one more time, and leaves the room. I get back into bed, I have a lot of reflecting to do, but I am going to work on me for now. I want my baby to be strong and healthy, so I have to take care of myself... no more stress. I drink the tea mixed with blood and pull the covers".
"It's going to be okay... It's going to be okay". I smile trying to encourage myself.
