Sam's POV

The rain fell down in cold sheet's, the trees around me sparkled with ice that had formed from the rain. The rain didn't bother me as it fell on my skin, I wish I could feel the cold of it. I would have welcomed the feel of it, the blissful coolness running down my face as washed the days problem's far away from me.

If only it could wash away the problems of my day, I already felt like I had taken so much away from my imprint, she had given me so much of her self, her love, her new's we had received to day left me with a gaping whole in my chest, for today I found out I could not give her the one thing she wanted with all her hear, a baby of her own.

I walked further down the path in my human form, the pack was not far away, I know my brothers worried about my state of mind. Every now and then I would spot one of them out of the corner of my eye. They kept their distance from me today and I mourned the child that would never come from the love my imprint and I shared.

I walked till I came to the only road that led into La Push, the rain had turned the road to mud, my shoes sank slightly in the mud as I walked.I could care less that I was covered in mud. Or that my brother's we following me, probably making sure I didn't do anything stupid. I would never do that, I knew how much that would hurt my Emily. The spirit's only knew how much pain I had really caused the love of my life.

I stopped as a cry caught my attention, it was so soft that a normal human's ear's would have missed it, for a moment all I could hear was the rain falling in the tree's around me. I walked closer to the ditch as I herd the cry again. In my mind I already knew what had made the tiny sound,even hearing the cry could not of prepared me for what lay in the ditch. Inside a large black trash bag lay a tiny shivering baby girl.

I picked the baby up bringing her to my chest for warmth. I could feel how cold this child was, her tiny body was shivering , her lips blue from the cold. Who could do this to a baby, toss her out like she was trash on the side of the road. This tiny baby laying in a ditch made me shake with and I wanted one so bad and someone would just throw this little miracle away. I calmed my self as the baby looked up at me with her beautiful shinning green eyes full of fear

I held the baby tightly against me as the rain fell harder,The rain had now begun freezing to the road causing the mud to harden. I hurried home keeping the child as close to me as matter what I did the poor child was still soaked.

I made it back to the house in record time, the so silent the entire time which worried me. Had I been to late to save her. I hurried into the house yelling for Emily, Bringing the baby over to the sofa, I grabbed the throw blanket the lay on the back of the sofa. I looked up as Emily walked into the room.

" Sam, I was worried about you, what took you so long." Emily stood frozen as she watched me cover up the shivering child.

" Sam who's baby is that?" Emily asked softly as she sat next to me looking down at the tiny bundle in my arm's.

" I wish I knew, I found her on the side of the road in a trash bag." I couldn't help the growl that escaped as I held the baby tightly to me.

Emily wiped a tear away from her eye as she stood from the sofa grabbing the phone. " The poor little thing, she so cute and innocent. I'm going to call fork's police."

Emily's pov

Sam nodded as he layed the tiny child on his lap, she has fallen asleep still shivering as her tiny body tried to warm it's self.

I picked up the phone holding it tightly. I was still in shock that someone could be that heartless.

"chief Swan"

"Charlie this is Emily Uley."

"What can I do for you Emily, is Sam okay?"

"Yeah he's fine, but Sam found a baby on the side of the road."

"Did I hear you right Emily a baby?"

"Yeah someone left her to die."

"I'll give child protective services a call, I'll have them call you back as soon as possible.

"Thanks Charlie"

"I don't know when anyone will be able to get to you, the roads are nasty."

"It's okay the baby seems okay and we have everything she needs here."

"All right all give, you a call later to check up on this." I was silent as the phone disconnected, What was it with police and having bad phone manners.

I walked back into the living room, Sam had not moved from the sofa. He just looked down at the baby, almost like he was afraid she would vanish if he looked away for a moment.

" I just talked to chief Swan, the ice caused a number of tree's to fall between here and forks, I told him the baby did not seem injured and she would be fine with us till the roads cleared." Sam nodded not taking his eyes off the child

"Good thing we are all set up for a baby." I smiled at him kissing him on the cheek as the phone rang.

"Hello" I answered walking away from Sam not wanting to wake the poor child.

"Yes, my name is Lynn Smith, I'm with child protective services, I received a call from the chief of police in forks informing me that your husband found a baby on the side of the road." I griped the phone tighter

" Yes, he found her in a trash bag out side of La Push." the lady on the phone was silent for a moment.

" Does the baby appear to be injured?" she asked

"No, She was cold but we have her snuggled up in a blanket." I could hear the CPS worker shuffling papers around.

" Are you the same Emily and Sam Uley who applied for adoption and foster care." she asked

" Yes,we applied two mouths ago." I answered, I watched my husband with the baby,he stared down at the tiny bundle on his lap, I knew right then, no matter how long this child was with us, Sam would protect her with his life. I snapped back to the conversation as the worker again began to speak.

"The reason I asked is because the roads are two slick to send out anyone for the baby, are you and your husband willing to watch the baby till the roads clear."

" Yes" I said without thinking I knew Sam would agree with me.

"We are all set for the baby, I babysit so I have formula and diapers for her." Sam looked up at me interested.

I felt a strange scence of relife as it was decided that the baby would stay with Sam and I till the storm passed. I smiled watching Sam hold the poor little baby. poor thing, I hated to think of were she would go when she left. First she would probably stay a few days in a hospital, not getting the attention she needed by an over worked staff.

"We have a guest for a day or so." Sam smiled up at me as I reached down and picked up the baby taking her into the nursery we had set up for our own child we planed on adopting.

The baby smiled up at me with a toothless grin as I put a diaper on her and dressed her in warm sleeper. Sam walked into the room holding a bottle that he was still lightly shaking it. I smiled at him as he handed me the bottle, that was one thing I loved about my husband, I had never asked him to make the baby a bottle. He knew and cared enough to do it while I dressed the child.

Sam's POV

I handed Emily the bottle watching as she brought the bottle nipple to the baby mouth gentally rubbing it on the baby's lip's till the baby opened her mouth and took the bottle. I could not help the warmth the spread threw my heart as I watched Emily with the baby. She was so happy holding this child, I knew how she hungered for one of her of her own.

I knew that Emily didn't hold it against me that I could not give her a child of her own, we had suspected something was wrong with one of us for so long, We had been trying but no luck. In the end we applied for adoption before we received out tests back. The test resulted that confirmed I had a low sperm count.

I watched as the baby finished the bottle, Emily held the baby up on her shoulder and began to pat the it's back.

" You look good with a baby." she smiled up at me as still patting the baby's back.

" So did you when you held her on the sofa"

I growled as the front door flew open,Just for once I wish my brothers had enough sense to quite them self's when they entered someone ele's house. I looked back at Emily and smiled, I hated to leave her but I had a job to do now. I knew if i stood their any longer I would never be able to leave her side. The thought of her heart being broke then left baby left hurt me.I stood there for a moment longer watching the baby's reaction to the noise my wolf brother's made, the little one seemed un-phased by their noise. I forced smiled as I walked into the living room.

" I Guess you all know about the baby." a few of them growled their anger

" who would leave a child for death, That just crazy" Paul growled

" I know, Emily and I have been trying so hard for a baby,and when I see something like this it just makes me sick. There are so many people out there who would love a child but can't have one." I couldn't help the growl that escaped me as I walked into the kitchen garbing a bottle of water out of the frig.

The guys all grew silent as Emily walked into the room holding the baby close to her chest. I laughed as all my brother's jumped up and surrounded Emily waiting to see the baby.

" You know Sam I thought the baby thing was more of chick thing, I guess I was wrong." Emily laughed

Hours passed by fast, my brothers left leaving me alone with Emily and the baby. I loved seeing my imprint so happy,I watched nervously out the window the rain was beginning to slow wouldn't be long till the roads would be clear and a new hole would be ripped in our life's.

I watched Emily bouncing around the kitchen as she made dinner, the baby sprolled cross my chest fast asleep as I flipped threw the channels on the T.V

I loved the feeling of this child in the house, this little one made us feel whole.

I looked down at the baby and she be stir and fuss. I Gentally cradled her in my arms as Emily came over with a bottle in hand. I looked up at a little bit concerned.

" I've never fed a baby before" I knew I was being ridiculous, if we planed on adopting one day I knew I need to learn how to feed a baby. I was just so scared that I would do something wrong. This little girl was so fragile, it would kill me if I did something wrong and hurt her.

Emily smiled as she handed me the bottle and explained the trick of the trade. I had seen Emily do this a million time's with other people's she could do it then I knew I could. I held my breath till the baby began to suck on the bottle.

" See Sam your a natural." I shook my head,rolling my eye's. I watched as she turned back to her task, I wished for some miracle that would allow us to keep this baby.
