The woods were so quiet as I turned around, taking in the calm. I closed my eyes and took a breath in as I placed a hand on my stomach, my little Nicola growing. "Kara!" I turned seeing Seth running over to me, a cheeky grin on his face. "How are you?" HE asked me as he sat down in front of me, his eyes filled with wonder and admiration.

"I'm well, what about you little wolf?" I said a smirk stretching across my face, as he's turned into a scowl.

"You know very well I hate being called little wolf," Seth grumbled as I chuckled.

"I know, but I'm the only one allowed to call you that anyway," I stated as I turned to face the woods.

"Whatcha thinking about?" Seth asked.

I turned back around to look at Seth, I saw something in Seth every time I saw him in his dreams, at first it was weird for both of us, but this connection wasn't because of me, it was because of Nicola. I explained to him one night about the future, about my daughter being his imprint. Seth had been shocked when I told him this but then he came to an understanding telling me that's why he admired me so much. "I'm thinking about yours and Nicola's future," I answered smiling at my little wolf. "I'm also thinking about the damage that will come from it," I state.

"Well, they can't hurt her, and they can't hurt any of your family, I won't let them," Seth growled as he came to now sit next to me, I smiled and sat down as well. "Can I come over and see her?" Seth asked looking into my eyes.

"I'm glad, my little Nicola will have you, and I would be happy if you came over to see her, tomorrow come tomorrow, 2 in the afternoon," I said, Seth turned smiling to me before we both started to fade away. Both of us awakening.

"Love, you were asleep again," Carlisle whispered as he placed a hand on my cheek, my book resting on my chest as I snuggled closer into his chest.

"Mmm, I was speaking with our son-in-law, he's coming over tomorrow for the ultrasound," I whispered, slightly groggy still. I smiled as I saw Carlisle roll his eyes at the thought of Seth. Carlisle hated that Seth was Nicola's imprint, but once I told him that Seth wasn't taking her from us, that Seth was very willing to join us to be with her he calmed down.

"I can't understand why you see that mutt when your sleeping," I hear Rosalie scoff, I turned my head and smirked at her.

I stood from my spot my now 8-month belly on display. I placed a hand on my stomach lovingly. "My daughter knows how to get her mummy to do anything my darling," I stated as I waddled to the kitchen and drinking some of the blood that Hope had handed to me as I made my way over. I sipped on the animal blood as I then opened the fridge. "To have chocolate or to not have chocolate that is the question," I muttered as I placed the straw back in my mouth and took a sip.

"How about you just have the blood aunty," Hope giggled as she skipped into the room. I turned and grinned at my niece.

"Oh but Hope, I wasn't going to have the bad stuff, I was gonna have the good stuff, the only thing Carlisle lets me have, including Esme," I grunted, as I pulled out the organic chocolate. "I'm not even allowed coffee," I huffed before putting the chocolate away. "I think I'll stick with the blood," I muttered before waddling out and over to my phone. I looked through my contacts before coming across the person's number. I quickly pressed dial.

"This is Klaus, leave your name and your location so I can hunt you down for bothering me. But if your my family just leave a message."

I sighed as I hung up and let my hand fall to my side. "I'm pathetic," I groaned as I sat onto the lounge and placed my hands on my face.

"You're not pathetic mum," Jasper says from beside me as I look up and see that everyone left. I look to Jasper and see he is reading a historic book on the Civil War.

"Where'd everyone go?" I asked as I leaned back.

"They went out for a hunt, you drinking blood got them hyped a bit, I'd already feed today, and Hope left once you picked your phone up to call Klaus," Jasper said as he smiled softly. "You were a bit out of it mum, Carlisle even said bye, but you were very focused on the chocolate," he chuckled, and I nodded.

"I get very lost in my thoughts when chocolate is around," I giggled.

"And again you're not pathetic, you miss them, especially Klaus, you and him were always together in your past before he lost you," Jasper whispered, as I felt my lip tremble.

"You're right, I need to just breathe and let it go, obviously I'll still be sad but that's okay. But for me it's like what Matt Damon's character said, 'you don't know about real loss, 'cause it only occurs when you've loved something more than you love yourself. And I doubt you've ever dared to love anybody that much.'" I whispered, before taking a breath in as Nicola kicked me lightly.

"I understand mum, but you need to know, mourning forever is fine, but don't let it define your life," he whispered pulling me into a hug. "Let's get onto a different topic, shall we?" Jasper whispered.

"Yes, please, I don't want to keep crying," I chuckled as I thought over something. "I wish we could pull a prank on everyone, but I feel like Carlisle would be very mad," I stated as the idea swam in my head.

"Are you thinking we should say that Nicola is coming early, and I should call him with you screaming on the other side of the phone." Jasper said in a matter of fact tone.

"Yes, but I would hate if someone did that so lets not," I said.

"I mean, we could still prank them," Jasper said with an evil grin.

"What are you thinking?" I asked, pursing my lips.

"Well," Jasper begins before we turn and see the family coming back.

"Dammit." We growled, completely forgetting about our prank and just go back to sitting and waiting for everyone.
