Author's Note: I was requested to make a sequel to Surprise Imprint, so here it is. I hope that it is good. I still have no outline. This is set just before Sue tells Seth and Jacob that she has saved up enough money for them to move in together.

Chapter 1: The Big Surprise
"Hey boys, I have a surprise for you." Sue Clearwater, the mother of my boyfriend, told us one day.
Seth and I had been dating for more than half a year. It had all started with a Surprise Imprint. I had gone to see him when I had told my dad that I was gay. My dad kicked me out of the house for it. I had been devastated and I went to see Seth because he was the only person that I knew could calm me down. When I got a good look at him, I felt everything else disappear. It was then that I knew that I had Imprinted on him. I panicked and bolted. I couldn't help it. I was too afraid that he would hate me for Imprinting on me. It wasn't until he chased me down that I found out that he had Imprinted on me as well. Everything went smoothly from then on.
Which brought us to this moment.
"What is it Mrs. Clearwater?" I asked.
"How many times do I have to tell you to call me Mom? You are family now." She scolded. She wasn't harsh at all, but I knew that it kinda hurt her for me to be so formal.
"Ok then. What is the surprise mom?" I asked again. I was rewarded with her face brightening instantly.
"I have finally saved up enough money for you two to get your own place." She said, beaming.
For a minute, I stood there with my mouth slightly open. It was Seth who eventually broke the silence.
"Mom. You didn't have to do that for us. How long have you been saving up?" He asked incredulously. I knew that he wasn't mad, just surprised.
"Well, I started to save it up around three years ago. I knew that it was only a matter of time before you found your Imprint, so I was planning ahead. I hope that you guys are happy." She said.
"Happy? Are you kidding? I have never been happier in my life." I said, before realizing how bad that sounded. When I looked at Seth, I was relieved to see that he was nodding his head in agreement. He knew that I meant that I was happy that we would be able to spend so much time alone together.
"I am glad that you are happy. I was worrying that you wouldn't accept it." She said.
For a moment, I felt a bit guilty for accepting it in the fist place. Sue had earned her money the hard way and it wasn't fair that I should accept it. Just as I was about to tell her that we could have done it ourselves, the look on her face made the words die in my throat. She looked like she had just gotten the one thing in her life that would make it perfect. I didn't feel right to take that away from her. I knew I would regret it later, but I kept my mouth shut.
"Now that that is settled, here is the money. You guys can move out anytime you want." She said before handing Seth an envelope. It looked really big, and I knew that it was filled with a lot of money.
After she had given us the envelope, we talked for a bit more before excusing ourselves to Seth's room. When we got inside, I hugged him close and gave him a chaste kiss on the lips. When I leaned back, he frowned and pulled my head close again. His lips connected with mine and I groaned appreciatively. It started to heat up, but before we could do anything, Seth's sister, Leah, whistled in the direction of the two of us. We jumped apart and blushes covered both of our faces.
"Well well, that was a bit much for me to see." She said jokingly. I grinned as well. I couldn't count how many times that she had caught us kissing. She had even caught us in the middle of sex once. She just howled with laughter and took as many pictures with her phone that she could get before I got to her.
"Oh come on. You know that isn't the worst that you could have walked into." I said. Seth still seemed a bit flustered, so I grabbed his hand and pulled him close to my side.
"That is so very true. So, what did mom want you guys for?" She asked curiously. One thing about Leah was that she was always nosy and was always in other peoples' business. Not that I minded, of course.
It wasn't until then that I realized that Sue wouldn't have said anything to Leah because she would have been afraid that we would have heard it when we were phased.
Just as I was about to answer her question, Seth cut me off.
"Why don't you go ask her yourself? I think it would be best if she told you." Seth said. The tone of his voice wasn't unkind, but I got the hint that Leah might not be too happy about it. I started to feel guilty again because I didn't even think to ask about how she would feel.
Leah looked at us weirdly, but she left nonetheless. When she was out of hearing range, I took Seth and led him towards the bed. Once we sat down, I confronted him about Leah.
"What was that about? It almost seemed like you were scared to tell her. I know that she can be scary sometimes, but you are her little brother. She would never hurt you." I said reassuringly.
"I wasn't scared of her hurting me. I know that she would never do that. I was scared of how mad she would get. Leah has been asking for a loan so that she can move out for a long time. Not only did we get money to move out, but we don't have to pay it back. I was scared that she would get pissed and not want to ever talk to me again." He said. I could tell that the thought got him down, so I hugged him close and rubbed soothing circles on his back.
"Everything will be all right." I murmured. I felt horrible that I had accepted the gift without thinking about the consequences. I knew that I would need to get better at that, but I also knew that it wouldn't happen overnight.
It seemed to take forever for Leah to walk towards our room again. When we heard her footfalls, Seth held me tighter than before. I hugged him close to me and waited for the inevitable.
To my surprise, Leah just looked into our room and smiled at us.
"Hey. I heard about what mom did for you. I know that you were worried about how I would take it Seth, but I am more mature than that, despite what you might think." She said.
"But, but... You aren't mad at us?" Seth asked her. I could tell that he was shocked beyond measure and, if I was being honest with myself, so was I. It just didn't make sense to me. Leah had always had a temper on her, even for the smallest of things. This was a huge thing, and she was acting as if it was just another day.
"Nope. I am happy for you guys. I agree with mom. You deserve it more than I do. I was mad at first, but then I realized that I have no reason to move out yet. You have Jake, Seth. You have a reason to leave. Not to mention I don't want to walk in on you two having fun with each other's bodies." She said jokingly. To be honest, I was taken aback by her statement. I didn't know how to respond. Thankfully, Seth did that for me. He jumped out of my arms and ran at his sister.
"Thank you thank you thank you THANK YOU!" He yelled before hugging Leah as hard as he could. She started to gasp from the force of the hug. Apparently, she had never been on the receiving end of one of his bear hugs. I had and I inwardly winced at the memory. He may not look it, but he was really strong. Strong enough to even hurt me.
"Alright Seth. You can let go now." She gasped out. She had probably used the last of her remaining oxygen to do so, but Seth immediately let go. He looked at her apologetically and took a step back.
"Man. I never knew you were so strong. That hurt you twerp." She said. I could tell that she was messing around.
"Sorry sis. I forget that I am really strong." He said sheepishly. He glanced at me and I beckoned him. He came towards me and sat next to me again. I put my arm around him.
"Sooo... When are you guys planning on moving out?" Leah asked us. We hadn't even talked about it, but then again, we didn't need to.
"I was thinking in about a month. That would give us enough time to pack and to find a place." I said. Seth nodded his head in agreement.
(Time Interval)
A month later and we were walking out the door, suitcases in hand. Sue had tears in her eyes and she seemed really reluctant to let Seth go, but she managed. Leah was standing there, stoic as ever, but I could tell that she was being affected by this. She just didn't want anyone to know.
"Bye mom, bye sis." Seth and I both said at the same time. And then we were off.
It took about three hours to get to our new house. It wasn't anything special. It was a brown house, one story, one bedroom, and a decent kitchen. We went inside and glanced around at the whitewashed walls and the grey carpet.
"Welcome home love." I said with a small smile. I was rewarded with a kiss from Seth.
"It's gonna be a fixer-upper isn't it?" Seth said. I nodded in agreement. I knew that as long as I was with Seth, I would do anything.
(Time Interval)
It took us about another three months for us to get the house the way we wanted it. The outside of the house was now a comforting grey. The walls were a light red. Our bedroom had a queen sized bed with electric blue blankets. All in all, everything was perfect. That right there should have alerted me that something was going to go wrong.
It all started on a regular day. I was a bit irritable because I had not been able to find a job yet. I knew that I was hurting Seth, but I couldn't cheer up. When he tried tickling me, I snapped and yelled at him. His face flashed with pain and I immediately wanted to apologize. Before I could however, he got up and walked away. Shortly after that, I heard the door open, shut and the car start. I sighed in misery and wished that I knew what to do to make it better.
I decided to try and watch some T.V. so that I could forget about it for the time being. It was working until I heard a knock at the door. I sighed massively and got up to answer it.
When I opened the door, my mouth fell open into what I am guessing was a comical 'o'. I couldn't help it. I was just so surprised.
"Hello Jacob. Long time no see."
