A/N: Hey guys! I'm back with a special romance for Valentine's Day! I originally planed this to be a one shot, but I decided to split it into two chapters. The second chapter will have lemon. Just a heads up. You should be able to tell what time period this is in from the third paragraph. Don't forget to review!

Just to be safe, I don't own Twilight. I do own Mia though! ~

Part One

It had been almost six months since Miakoda had been home to see her cousins in La Push, Washington. The last time she had seen her cousins Seth and Leah and their extended wolf family had been a few weeks before she had gone to university. Miakoda, commonly called Mia, was also a werewolf, but different from her cousins in that she didn't have that absolute need to belong to a pack all the time.

Mia had her own pack in the American Heartland and lead as Alpha. When it came time for Mia to prepare for college, she trained her Beta to take care of things while she would be away. In couple weeks before her graduation, Mia got her dream opportunity: a full paid scholarship to Moscow State University. Mia loved the Russian culture; she had even taught herself the language on her own. So when Mia received her acceptance in the mail, she felt an undeniable joy to have received such an honor. Her family in La Push had been excited as she had been about the news. Two weeks before her departure, her family in Washington had thrown her a huge going away party. It had been six months since then, and now Mia was on a flight from Moscow to see her cousins again.

Charlie Sawn sat in the living room of his best friend Billy Black's house along with his daughter's, Bella's, father-in-law, Carlisle Cullen. Since their families had come together, Edward with Bella and their daughter Renesmee with Billy's son Jacob, the three fathers spent more time together, knitting their families closer together. However, one thing had changed since the almost slaughtering of the Cullen clan and their friends. Esme was no longer with Carlisle. The reason behind her departure was sketchy and Carlisle didn't like to talk about it. That was why Charlie and Billy invited Carlisle over more often so he wouldn't be so lonely.

Today went like most rainy weekends did for the three. They gathered together, this time at Billy's house, and watched some sort of sporting event. Today it was a Seattle Seahawks football game. The first quarter of the game passed and the station went to commercial. That's when Charlie started off a new conversation.

"Hey Billy," Charlie said. "Have you heard from, oh what's her name? Oh, yeah, Miakoda, lately?"

"Not for a couple weeks. I told Mia in my last letter to bring back some genuine Russian vodka." Billy laughed.

"Who's Miakoda?" Carlisle asked.

"She's a relative of the Clearwater's. She's real close with all the kids here. She's in Russia right now on a scholarship to Moscow State." Billy explained to Carlisle.

"How is she going to bring you vodka, Billy? Mia isn't twenty one yet is she?"
"No, but the legal drinking age in Russia is eighteen. She's nineteen."

"Well, I'll let it slide as long as I get a taste," Charlie said slyly, causing both Billy and Carlisle to laugh.

It wasn't far into the second quarter when the three men heard a ruckus from outside the house. Many members of the pack had gathered out back and from the sounds of things, they were celebrating something. The first voice that was heard clearly was Seth's.

"I can't believe you're here! It's been way to long!" Seth said excitedly.

"Yeah, six months is way too long," Embry joked. "You've been gone half a year and you sound like one of 'em!"

"Okay, I've been speaking Russian almost nonstop since I got there; it's almost impossible not to obtain an accent." A new, female voice said.

Jacob walked first into his home and called out to his father. "Hey dad, guess who's home!"

"I brought you vodka~!" the slightly accented female voice floated in from the kitchen.

"Welcome home Mia!" Charlie and Billy greeted simultaneously.

"Hi! It's so nice to see you both!" Mia greeted.

"Mia, this is Carlisle Cullen." Charlie introduced.

Mia went to look at Carlisle to introduce herself. The second they made eye contact it happened.

Mia felt her whole world shift into a new direction. It was only her. Herself and Carlisle. Everything else seemed to vanish. They were meant to be and nothing else mattered. Their worlds danced together like the sun and the moon; it was so natural. Every string, every cable, every thread holding her to this world broke or snapped leaving Mia floating. Then something grounded her; a new cord holding her down. That cord was Carlisle. He was her perfect half and nothing could change that. Ever. Mia saw pictures of their future together in her head. It was so absolute.

Charlie didn't get why Mia and Carlisle looked into each other's eyes so intently. Billy understood, as did the other members of the pack. When Mia and Carlisle came back into the present, Mia's human emotions gushed back to her. What had just happened? Why had it happened? Fear of the unknown overtook her mind. Too kind to be impolite, Mia said a brief hello before excusing herself.

"It is a pleasure to meet you, Carlisle. If you will all excuse me, I have a few things I need to take care of."

Mia then left the house in a flurry, storming off into Jacob's garage. She slammed the door behind her and just stood there, trying to grasp what had happened. In a flurry of mixed emotions, Mia grabbed a wrench from the workbench and chucked it against the wall causing a loud clamor. She didn't know how to feel; no one in her pack had ever gone through this.

"What was that?" Charlie asked.

"It was Mia." Billy said nonchalantly.

"Maybe I should go check on her." Carlisle said and went to the garage to check on Mia.

"Mia?" Carlisle called as he cautiously opened the garage door. "All you alright?"

"I don't know what to feel right now." Mia admitted.

"Do you know what happened between us?"

"Yes. I imprinted on you."
