Revenant j. hale

Chapter 38

"Cay what the fuck?" Paul's voice raised as he cautiously looked down at me.

Glancing down I realize I'm still in my towel and can feel the dried blood sticking to my face. 

"I don't know. I wasn't feeling well after the wedding," I mumbled. Paul walked out of the room to return with a wet rag. Leaning down, he began trying to clean up the blood from my face. 

"Are you sick? Do I need to call Dr. Cullen?" Worry dripped from his voice, and I could practically feel how nervous he was. 

"I'm okay now Paul. Promise." 

I got up with some assistance, sitting on the edge of my bed. Paul handed me some clothes and turned around waiting. I sighed, accepting the fact that he was gonna hover as long as he was here. 

"How's Jake?" 

"You're changing the subject, but he's fine. Still a whiny crybaby but fine I guess." The rest of the wolves were very vocal on the fact that they couldn't stand being around Jacob. His constant thoughts about Bella and need to mope about how much he hates how she chose Edward were a sore subject for everyone. 

Beep beep.

"Who is it?" I groaned, laying back in bed. 

"Leah. Why is she texting you?" I shot back up excitedly, pushing him off the bed harshly and telling him to give me a minute alone. 

Leah - SOS

Me - #1 or #2?

Leah - #2!!!

I screamed out loud, resulting in Paul banging on my door in concern. Number 1 was normal female emergency for when she was with the pack. If she needed any female products, clothes, a girl night or just anything to get her away from the annoying boys in the pack that pestered her constantly. Number 2 was for imprinting.

Me - AHHHH FINALLY! I'M SO HAPPY FOR YOU LEE!

Leah - I never thought it would happen. I've been waiting forever since everything with Sam

Leah - I don't even know what to do I'm so nervous

Me - Who is it? Oh god, I'm so excited. Do I know them?

Leah - Yeah, actually. I was really surprised honestly. 

Leah - Gotta go, wolf stuff. I'll tell you later!

"Alright Paul, you can come in."

A loud huff of annoyance came through the door before it swung open. 

In walked a very happy Jared who was quickly tripped by Paul. 

"This is why Caylee is my best friend and not you!" He yelled out.

Paul sat at the edge of the bed with a quiet mumble, "Thank God." 

"We have to talk. Why aren't you feeling good? The flu and now this? Spill." 

Jared stood waiting, arms crossed dramatically. Paul looked over at me curiously. Inside I knew he was probably terrified to hear an answer, and I honestly wasn't sure if telling him I didn't know was going to make it worse or not. 

"I don't know guys - honest," he raised his eyebrows for me to carry on. "I've just been feeling gross, okay? Headaches, nosebleeds, stomachache and puking. I got all flippy on Jasper the other day for nothing." 

Jared's body froze. Pushing off the wall he began pacing. 

"Oh god. Fuck fuck fuck," Stopping for a moment he looked at me before pacing again. "Shit fuck shit. Cay are you serious? What the hell?"

"Care to explain to the class what you're freaking out about? If you keep pacing you'll put a hole in my floor."

"Caylee how can you joke right now? You're fucking pregnant and - oh shit I shouldn't cuss. Fuck what if it hears us. Paul do something!" Jared's voice was loud, way louder than it needed to be as usual. 

My body stilled as I took in a small breath. Paul looked at me with sad eyes and placed a warm hand on my back, rubbing comfortingly. It didn't help.

"Why are you just sitting there? I figured it out we need to get you to the hospital. Who even is the dad because I thought you and psycho cowboy were goin' strong, did you and Paul finally come to your senses or-" Paul cut him off.

"Jared shut the fuck up for once! She isn't pregnant so just be quiet or leave." The room grew silent. Jared finally stopped his rambling and Paul was staring at me intently trying to figure out what to do. 

"I'm going to go wash my face. Do either of you want anything while I'm up?" They shook their heads no, but as I walked down the hallway and closed the bathroom door I could faintly hear them begin to speak in hushed voices. 

My heart beat strongly and I could feel my eyes well up a bit. The feelings about the topic came fast, usually never lasting long. But today it hurt more. I never realized how badly I had wanted kids until after I had met Jasper and his family. 

I began wishing nothing more than to see Gran and have her tell me stories about my mom and me. The feeling of a tight throat and stinging eyes came and I gripped the sink to try to keep any tears at bay.

Beep beep. 

Leah - Ok I can't wait anymore

Leah - It's Alice

Honestly I hate this chapter but I'll figure that out later or something. Hope everyone's doing okay <3
