Pack Warrior [EDITING]

Chapter 28

"Damien, sit down. Now."

He sighed, but didn't stop pacing. He was making me nervous. I gritted my teeth and sat back in my seat.

After I told him about missing my period, he had freaked out and dragged me to the doctor's office. Michelle had drawn blood from me and we were now waiting for the results.

"I can't sit down."

I was a bit confused. I knew that I wasn't technically ready to be a mom yet, but I thought he would be happy. His behaviour was worrying me.

"Just calm down. Everything's going to be fine."

He groaned. "Everything is not going to be okay Emmy. I mean, is this really the time?"

I furrowed my eyebrows. "It might have to be the time Damien. There might be much of a choice in this."

He ran his hand through his hair. "We'll just have to get married."

My mouth dropped open. "Married?"

"Yeah, that will help. You can finish high school and by then the baby will be born. Then you'll stay home and I'll take over as alpha. Everything will work out. Right?"

He wasn't even talking to me anymore. I narrowed my eyes and crossed my arms over my chest. 

Then Michelle walked in. Both our heads snapped in her direction. She smiled. "You aren't pregnant. Your period must be just a couple days late. It does happen sometimes."

I smiled at her. "Thanks Michelle."

I jumped out of my seat and rushed out of the room, leaving Damien to trail behind me.

"Emmy! Where are you going?"

I pursed my lips and stayed silent. I felt kind of childish to be blanking him, but I wasn't feeling very mature at that moment.

He groaned. "Oh god Emmy, not the silent treatment again. This is getting really old."

I shook my head. "Fine, you want me to talk, then I'll talk. What the hell happened to you back there?"

He shot me a confused look. "What are you talking about?"

I scoffed. "Don't try and say you didn't freak out in there Damien. It's pretty obvious you aren't ready to have a baby. But the way you handled it was ridiculous."

He looked irritated now. "What do you mean the way I handled it? So what, I was a little freaked."

I rolled my eyes. "Damien you were talking about us getting married. And me dropping out of school."

"Hey I said you would finish high school."

I laughed sarcastically. "And what? I'm just meant to give up any thoughts I had about college?"

"Jesus, it's like I can't win with you Emmy. What did you want me to say?"

"I wanted you to say everything was going to be okay. I wanted you to comfort me because I was just as scared and confused as you were. I wanted you to tell me, despite the fact that we are young and maybe not ready, you still love me and wanted to have the baby."

I glared. "But no, you freaked. Started talking about marriage? Marriage isn't just a quick fix Damien. You get married when you love each other and are ready. Not when you get scared."

"Well I'm sorry Emmy, I thought that marriage would be the best thing we could do."

"And where's my say in that decision?"

"Oh, so this is one of the things that we both have a say in? But when I want a say in you being a pack warrior, it's all about you. Your life."

I gritted my teeth. "That's because that has to do with my fucking life Damien. If I had been pregnant, it would have concerned both our lives. See the difference?"
