Rayne officially knows hat she's having. A boy! Laurent was killed by the pack before she could find out because he tried to kill Bella. That just means Rayne is all alone again.
Rayne's cellphone rings from where it sits on the piano and she walks downstairs, rubbing her five month pregnant belly. She grabs her phone and sees Sam's number. SammyWolf is calling....
Rayne clicks the gree icon. "Hey, Sam."
"Can you come over?" Sam asks. "Emily needs company while I go check in with Jacob Black. He's showing signs of phasing."
"I'll be right there," Rayne muses and she hangs up.
Rayne returns to her room and puts on some maternity leggings and grabs one of the v-neck shirts Laurent left behind when he died, and she finds her flats downstairs. It's kinda warm today but it's not sunnny.
Rayne grabs her keys, her phone, and she goes to her car. Rayne drives to Sam and Emily's.
"What'd you find out at the doctor yesterday?" Paul asks as soon as Rayne walks in.
She hands him the sonogram.
"It's a boy!" He yells and smiles. "Congratulations to you and Rose, Rayne."
Sam comes walking in, he looks stern and alpha like. Rayne bows her head and she sits between Paul and Quill quickly. Quill phased sometime in mid-February. He has been doing real good.
"Jared, Paul, Embry. Jacob phased," Sam states. "Go and get him back her and in the back yard, pronto."
The tree all take off out the door and Sam looks at Rayne. "Did I hear right? You're having a boy?"
Rayne nods. "Yes, Sam, I'm having a boy."
"Congratulations," Sam says and he heads out back,
Rayne walks into the kitchen and she helps Emily make BLT sandwiches for lunch. She makes sure to make herself one because she knows it'll all be gone if she doesn't.
Rayne gasps when she actually feels her son move for the first time and she stops what she's doing... which is spreading mayo on one of the sandwiches.
Rayne grabs Emily's hand and puts it to where the baby's moving. Emily beams when she feels the baby moving and that's when Paul returns. Looking irritated and annoyed.Rayne walks up and grabs his hand. Pail renses until he feels the baby move.
"When did you start feeling him?" Paul asks.
"Just a minute ago," Rayne replies honestly. "It's great, yeah?"
"Oh yeah," Paul replies and he hugs Rayne. "You're amazing, Rayne. You're the lifeline of this pack."
Rayne rests her head against Paul's chest and listens to her friend's heartbeat. Sam, Jared, Embry, and Jacob soon enter the house. They all join in on huffing Rayne, all but Sam. Sam gives his fiancé a kiss on the forehead before he goes to shower after dealing with a newbie wolf.
"What's with the hugging?" Jared asks, still hugging Rayne's right side.
"We felt the boy kick," Paul states.
"Congrats," Jacob says.
"Thank you, but i was just a donor," Paul shrugs. "The baby's all Rayne and blondie's."
"Blondie?" Rayne rises an eyebrow as the group hug breaks up.
"It's better than blood sucker and leach," Paul grunts and Rayne sighs, he has a good point. "Exactly. I'm heading home for a shower."

"Bella has been calling me," Jacob tells Rayne, especially since she's dating one of the Cullens. "But I'm scared I'll do something bad if I see her. Like Sam with Emily."
"Don't bring that up," Rayne demands as Sam tenses. "That wasn't his best moment and it was an accident. Wasn't it, Sammy?"
"Yeah, it was an accident," Sam replies, smiling fondly. "I didn't have full control after imprinting on Emily, and she got too close to a phase once."
"And I still love him unconditionally," Emily says lovingly as she sits on Sam's lap.
"Jacob, you do understand why you can't talk to Isabella, right?" Sam asks him in his alpha voice.
"Yeah,yeah. I understand why," Jacob admits. "I might not like it, but i understand."
Sam nods. "Good."
*********
Rayne goes home after everyone else does and she lays in her bed. She hasn't heard from Rosalie since her doctor's appointment. It doesn't surprise her. That's the only pontine the two see each other, is during baby doctor appointments, and seeing each other is over video chat.
Rayne lays a hand on her stomach as she closes her eyes, readying herself for sleep.
