Chapter 318

I smiled and nodded. We rarely got to  have days like this so when they came  about,I grabbed them with both hands.  Jake was always busy, always working  on something.

I pushed the covers back and moved  over. Like always he lifted me, so I was  resting on him my head against his  chest.

"But I'm still watching the vampirediaries". I snuggled closer to his chest  and smiled when he kissed the top of  my head.

I tried my hardest to keep my eyes  open. I could feel them growing heavy  with every minute that passed. I was  comfortable, relaxed and for the first  time today I didn't feel sick.

A sigh fell from his lips as he placedanother kiss on the top of my head. I  had a feeling something was bothering  him. Jake didn't share much about his  feelings and most of the time I had to  pry them out of him which almost  always ended in an argument.

He was too tough to talk about his  feelings.

"What's wrong?". I asked liftingmyself up so I could see his face. He  might not like to share how he was  feeling or what was going on in his  head but sometimes his face gave it  away.

"We're having a baby".

"I know".

"I'm going to be a dad".

"Yeah". I whispered.Was he trying to tell me something?

Was he having second thoughts  because it was a little too late for that. I  chewed the inside of my cheek as my  heartbeat quickened. Did he not want  this anymore?

"Hey". He reached out placing hishand under my chin our eyes  connecting."Whatever you're thinking  stop. I'm happy baby, I've finally got  everything le ver wanted".

"Sometimes I can't tell what you'rethinking or how you're feeling, and it  terrifies me". I could feel the lump form  in my throat. Of course, my emotions  were getting the better of me. I had no  control over them right now.

My body was changing due to the  pregnancy. My emotions, my hormones  were up and down. I was happy oneminute and sobbing the next.

Everything was heightened and I hated  that I couldn't seem to come to terms  with it.

"I'm here Leah,I'm in this with you".

I knew he was, but I needed to hear  him say it.

"So, no second thoughts?". I wasoverthinking everything again. I hated  the way my mind worked. The pressure  of always worrying about something or  someone.

"Never". He whispered."Now comehere".

I fell asleep and when I woke it was  dark outside. Jake was no longer beside  me, but I could hear voices downstairs. I  felt much better, no longer feeling sick  but I was starving.My stomach growled as I pushed the  covers off and got out of bed. I wonder  if he was talking to my Aunt Claire.  Heading downstairs I made a face  when I entered the kitchen.

Jake wasn't home but my Aunt Claire  was here with Carter.

"Where's Jake?". I asked.

"Nice to see you too". Carter smiled."I've made you some tea. Hopefully itmakes you feel better".

"I'm fine".

"He's out doing a patrol with Alanna.He said he won't be long".

"Have you sorted things yet?". I tookthe tea from him and sat at the table.  My Aunt Claire wasn't saying much, her  head buried in her phone."We're fine".

I didn't believe that, but I said  nothing. After all it was none of my  business. I had enough to deal with  without worrying about everyone else.  From now on it was me, Jake and our  baby.
