"Purple?" I deadpanned. "Bella you don't even like purple." I laughed.

"Shut up." She hit me with a pillow. "Yes, I do." We were sitting on her bed at Dad's house discussing the minor wedding details. She and Edward were spending their last week apart before they married. But apparently, Edward wasn't as honorable as we originally thought. "Purple is a nice color."

"Then why don't you wear it?"

"Shut up. " she rolled her eyes. "Hey, so why didn't you just get a pregnancy test?"

"I don't know." I shrugged. "A sonogram just seemed more efficient."

"I thought you said you did an ultrasound?" She looked so confused, it was mildly adorable.

"Bella, they're the same thing. Just different names." I chuckled and shook my head. I lay on her bed and stared at her ceiling. I glowed with the dark stars glued to the ceiling above my bed but Bella had little butterflies instead. They weren't as exciting but nice to look at.

"So there is a baby in you?" She poked my stomach gently and smiled at it.

"There really is." I smiled happily and rested my hands on my small stomach. I hadn't started to show yet, Carlisle didn't know when I would either. A vampire getting a human pregnant has never been heard of.

"Are you excited?"

"Excited, nervous, scared, I'm feeling it all." I shrugged. "It's so weird knowing that I have a little person inside of me."

"I bet." Bella chuckled. "How does Emmett feel? Was he happy when he saw the baby?" My smile fell.

"He didn't go," I mumbled. "Dominic went in his place."

"Why didn't he go?"

"I don't know so if you see him, can you ask him?" I chuckled . She nodded and excused herself to go to the bathroom. I had come back to Dad's house to give him the news, I didn't want to do it without Emmett but seeing as he was avoiding me, I chose to do it without him. I walked downstairs, my sock-covered feet padded against the floor softly. I stopped as I reached the last step and saw Dad sitting at the dining room table. I held the sonogram picture in my hand and I glanced at it before walking over to the table and sitting across from him.

"Hey, Dad?" I smiled timidly.

"Yeah?" He looked up at me and gave me a curious stare.

"There's something I need to tell you." I looked at the picture in my hand before placing it on the table and sliding it over to him. He slid it closer to him and flipped it over. He stared at the picture with shock. He looked at me, my hands covering my stomach, to the picture.

"You're pregnant?" He didn't look up from the picture.

"I am." I smiled widely. He mimicked my smile and stood up. I stood up too and let him wrap his arms around me. "You're not mad?"

"I should be, but I'm gonna be a Grandpa!" He nearly shouted. He released me and we sat back down. "So where's Emmett? He is the dad right?"

"Yes, he's the dad." I laughed and rolled my eyes. "He's out celebrating with his brothers." I lied to him.

"Well, who else knows?"

"Bella and the Cullens." He nodded.

"What about Billy?"

"I'm heading over later to tell him." I dreaded going over there but I needed to.

"Well, I'm happy for you. You're going to be a great Mom." He smiled at me and I found myself believing his words.

"Thanks, Dad." I stood up and handed him the picture again. "I have another one upstairs, this one is for you." He looked at it and I could see his eyes water. "Mind driving me to the reservation?" He nodded. "Let me put my shoes on." I left the dining room and went back upstairs to my room. I pushed my bedroom door open and stared blankly at the vampire sitting on my bed.

"What are you doing here Emmett?" I asked him quietly as I shut the door. I went to my closet and opened the door. I picked up the first pair of shoes I saw and slipped them on my feet. I tied the laces of my black converse before looking at him again.

"We need to talk." He declared. I grabbed my hoodie from my desk chair and scoffed.

"And you need to tell me something I don't already know." I pushed my blonde hair behind my shoulders and fixed my rumpled shirt.

"I don't know if I can be a dad." That stopped me. It stopped my thoughts. It stopped my movements. And it almost stopped my heart.

"What?" I stared at him in disbelief.

"I don't know if I can be a dad." He said it in the same blank tone, same blank stare, same position.

"I'm having this baby, Emmett." I put my hands on my stomach and shook my head.

"I don't know if I can be a dad, Clary." He didn't look up from his lap. Not once. I couldn't tell if he was lying. But I wasn't calling his bluff. If he meant what he said, then I don't know what to do. "Clary this all happened way too fast. You still have school and we're not even married yet. I just don't know if I'm ready for us to take this next step so quickly."

I could see his point, I could understand it but I wasn't agreeing with him. I was pregnant, there was no waiting. "Then I don't know if I can spend my life with someone who doesn't want their child." He looked up at me then. His eyes were dark, he hadn't hunted. But they held no emotion, no way for me to tell what he was thinking. "I have to go." I grabbed my purse from the bed and walked to my bedroom door.

"Don't leave." He said it without hesitation.

"I have to." I opened the door but hesitated before I left the room. "It's funny."

"What is?" He scowled.

"This time I'm leaving and you get to be left behind." I chuckled bitterly. "Funny how the tables turned so quickly." I exited my room and left him sitting there by himself. Bella's bedroom door was open and she and Edward both gave me sympathetic smiles. I shrugged and walked down the stairs, letting Dad at the door.

"Ready?"

"As I'll ever be." I tried to smile.

"Where to first?" Dad asked as we climbed into the cruiser.

"Sam Uley's house. Everyone's already there."

"Billy too?"

"Yeah, Billy's there too." I chuckled at my Dad's eagerness to see his best friend. The drive to La Push was quiet. Dad kept the radio on to a country music station and I sang along quietly as my hands rested on my stomach. We finally pulled up to Sam's house and my anxiety was skyrocketing.

"Want me to wait for you?" Dad turned to me.

"Actually, could you get me a donut? With sprinkles?" He chuckled and nodded.

"Already craving something?" He laughed.

"Babies are weird." I nodded. I got out of the car and held my purse tightly to me. I walked towards the house quietly. It's been only a few months since I've been here and since then, I've made up with each of them. We're all friends again and it made it easier today. Telling them wouldn't be so hard. I walked up the steps and knocked on the door. Not even a second later, the door was being yanked open and Emily was standing in front of me.

"Clary! I've missed you!" She hugged me tightly and I almost cried. "Come on in, everyone's here." She guided me inside and I smiled at the sight of everyone sitting around the dining room table. It was a sight I missed. I immediately sat down on one of the chairs, not wanting to get knocked down when the hugs started. Paul was the first one to give me a hug and everyone else just fell in line afterward. Once the hugs were finished and all the seats were filled again, I spoke.

"I have some news for you guys." I smiled nervously. "I consider it good news, but just don't be mad." My eyes started to water and I grabbed the picture from my purse. I stared at the black and white photo before handing it to Emily, she was the closest to me.

"Is this-?" Her eyes started to water and I nodded. "Oh, Clary. Congratulations!" She stood up and hugged me. The photo got passed to Billy and he stared at it. "Do you know?" She glanced at my stomach before looking back at Sam.

"A boy." She beamed and gave me another hug.

"You're pregnant?" Paul blurted out. His face was blank and I noticed all of the boys had the same expression. "The bloodsucker knocked you up?!"

"Paul!" Sam shouted at him.

"No, he knocked her up Sam! Can they even do that?!"

"Apparently so." Jared shrugged.

"Shut up Jared!" Paul glared at him.

"Clary, are you okay?" Leah asked. Everyone stopped watching Paul and Sam yell at each other. They stared at me and I wiped the tears off of my face.

"No." I shook my head.

"What's wrong?" Emily asked me. She wrapped her arms around me and I sobbed loudly.

"Emmett doesn't want the baby." I wiped my eyes with the napkin Leah handed to me. "He doesn't know if he can be a dad. He didn't even go with me to the hospital for the ultrasound. His brother went instead."

"He got you pregnant and doesn't even want it?" Leah started to shake.

"No. He doesn't." I shook my head.

"I say we kill him." Seth declared, shocking everyone. We all stared at him. "What?" He said it with so much innocence, everyone started to laugh.

"It'll be okay Clary. You have us."

"Yeah, we'll be your baby daddies," Jared smirked.

"Bro." Jacob deadpanned. "Don't be weird."

"Somebody order a donut?" Dad walked into the room and I beamed at him - or what he was holding in his hands.

"I did." I hopped up from the chair and rushed over to Dad and grabbed the bag from him. I took the donut out of the bag and gave the bag back to Dad.

"Well okay then." Dad laughed. Everyone laughed and I just shrugged. I may not have Emmett by my side but I had Dad and my La Push family, and right now that was all I needed.

"Excuse me for a second." I grabbed my phone and exited Sam and Emily's house. I sat down on their front porch and scrolled through my contact list until I found the name that I had never even contacted before. I clicked on it and I put the phone to my ear as it rang.

"Hello?" The voice of a woman answered.

"Hello, uh it's Clarissa Swan."

"Hello Miss Swan, how may I help you?"

"I need to speak to them, it's an emergency."

"Please hold." Soft music sounded through the phone and I could only imagine the woman walking over to them and handing the phone over.

"Clary, how nice of you to call. What do you need?"

"Your help." I sighed. "Aro, I need your help."
