You hated crying, it made you feel too vulnerable and being vulnerable wasn't something you liked. You couldn't afford to be vulnerable, you were in a pack of shifters for pete's sake, being vulnerable was the last thing you wanted.

You lived with Jacob in his and his father's house, well technically it was Jacob's house now because Billy had moved in with Sue Clearwater after Harry's death so that he can keep her company.

Jacob had gone out for patrol with Paul, so you had been left at home. You didn't mind being left at home, it was nice and quiet, but that also meant that you were left to your own thoughts and that rarely ended well.

Even wearing your boyfriend's baggy shirt, you felt like you looked like a whale and you just couldn't get that thought out of your mind.

Here you were, sitting on your bed, crying your eyes out as you doubted everything to do with your physical appearance.

You'd never dream of bringing the issue up to Jacob, he loved you so much and you didn't want him to realise how you looked, and then dump you because you'd have nowhere to go.

Your parents had moved away after finding out that Jacob had imprinted on you, you weren't born into the Quileute legends as your parents adopted you, but you understood them all the same. So your parents had decided to move to a different country, they wanted a fresh start and you weren't against that.

You were so consumed by your thoughts, that you didn't realise that Jacob was standing at the door and had been watching you cry for the last few minutes.

Jacob walked over to you, and sat down on the bed making you jump. You instantly tried to wipe away the tears and make it look like you weren't upset, but your boyfriend wasn't accepting that.

"Babe, why are you crying?" he asked softly, taking your hands in his.

You shook your head frantically, "I'm not, I'm fine" you told him, smiling slightly but Jacob sighed.

You tried to look away, but Jacob placed his hand on your cheek and made you turn to him "Y/N, please just tell me what's wrong" he pleaded.

You sighed and gave in "Just look at me," you said pointing at yourself but Jacob seemed confused "I am big, it is pointless trying to deny it anymore because it is so obvious" you explained and Jacob squeezed your hand, "I am trying to lose some, and it's working bit by bit" you confessed.

Jacob pulled you into his lap, and when you looked at him properly, you saw that he had tears in his eyes "Babe, you are unbelievably beautiful – I ask myself every morning how I managed to convince you to date me" he told you but you shook your head.

"You're only saying that because I'm your imprint Jake" you said bluntly.

Jacob looked at you with a surprised look on his face "Yes, you are my imprint and I love you more than anything" he told you which made you blush a little "But you are beautiful, and I am telling you that because I believe that" he said and you tried not to smile.

Jacob realised that you're starting to believe him "Have you never seen the looks that Quill, Embry, Paul and even Seth give you?" he asked in disbelief, and you shook your head.

Jacob wrapped his arms around your waist and he smiled at you "Babe, they envy me for having you as my imprint" he told you and you blushed "I am so lucky to call you mine – no matter what"
