Unexpected Surprises: Paul Lahote's Love

I was starting my junior year of high school in Forks. I had lived in Forks my entire life. I had lived with my mom since I was about ten. My parents had gotten a divorce when I was still very young. Before that, when my dad was still around, he would take me to first beach. I loved going there when I was little. I always had so much fun with dad. He would take me there when mom and he had gotten into a big fight over something.

I loved going to the sandy beach with him. The waves would help to calm me down when they would fight. I hated it when they fought. It always made me super anxious and nervous. Sometimes when we would go down to the beach, we would see some of the men from the reservation nearby come with their sons. They were always playing and horsing around. I always had this big crush on one of them, but never had learned his name.

After mom and dad got their divorce, dad was hardly around. That meant me almost never getting to the beach. I missed it so much because of never getting to go. Mom didn't like going, because she was either afraid of the men from the reservation or she just didn't like them. I couldn't figure out why she wouldn't like them. Although I did hear the rumors of a few of the boys lately. Which would probably make you scared of them.

Now that I was nearly 18 and had a license to drive, I was happy. I often left the house because mom and I would always get into some kind of argument. When I would get home she would say how sorry she was. But I was constantly home to try and help her with problems though. I couldn't seem to escape them.

Almost every chance I got, I would get in the car and drive away. I didn't go anywhere in particular. Although I would drive to the beach and stick my feet in the water though. Sometimes the guys from the reservation would come to the beach. It would force me into hiding behind this over-sized rock that was there. They never seemed to notice me. I was always nervous to be around them alone too.

It was constantly raining with the very rare sunny and warm days. As much as I loved being inside my room when it was raining, I was starting to get a little stir crazy. I had friends from school that I talked to, but they never invited me out to do anything. It was summer and I was stuck at home constantly with nothing to do.

When it was finally sunny and warm out, I decided to get out of the house. I was going crazy not seeing the outside world. I didn't know where I was going yet, but I got in my reliable old Ford to drive somewhere. I drove for roughly fifteen minutes, before realizing I was getting close to First Beach.

I hadn't been there in years before now and I just found myself drawn to the idea of listening to the waves. I parked my old car off the side of the road, knowing very well that no one would want to steal it because of its age. I thought its age gave it character and I loved it. I walked down onto the sand before taking my shoes off.

I walked over to a branch that was close to the water so I could stick my feet in. It felt nice to have the water rush over my feet. I liked sitting here, my mind wandering off to the unknown recesses of my brain. I liked hearing the sounds of nature surrounding me and not having to hear my mom yell at my dad over the phone. I sat there staring off into the distance not paying attention to the boys who were walking toward me.

I knew these boys, but never actually spent much time with any of them though. I knew they were all from the Quileute Tribe just outside of Forks. I also knew that they didn't get along to well with the Cullen's. I wasn't sure why, because the Cullen's seemed to be very nice people. Almost everyone at school wanted to sleep with at least one of them. I didn't find the Cullen family that attractive.

To be honest, one of the boys that was walking toward me I always thought of as being cute. I didn't know any of their names though. I could never work up the courage to talk to any of them. I felt inferior talking to a bunch of gorgeous guys like them. They all were close to my age, had russet colored skin and were very muscular. I liked how they all played around with each other and wrestled like they were brothers.

I soon realized that they were getting closer. They didn't seem to notice me being there until they were about five feet away from me. I honestly have to say once they were this close it was hard to ignore their presence. As much as I tried not looking at them, the oldest one who seemed to be the leader, started talking to me.

"Hi. My name's Sam. Are you ok? We saw your car parked here and seen you sitting all alone." He introduced himself.

"Yeah, I'm fine thank you. My name's Brittlyn." I said maintaining eye contact with him as I stood up. I didn't realize how late it how gotten. It was getting dark and I knew mom would worry if I didn't get home soon.

"This is Jacob, Jared, Seth and Paul by the way." He introduced the rest of them.

I finally figured out my crushes name. I blushed upon looking at him. He was so freaking beautiful. I noticed something had changed about him as I looked into his eyes though. He seemed to stiffen a little bit. Was it obvious that I had a crush on?

I looked down quickly. "I better get home. It was nice meeting all of you!"

I gave them a sheepish smile and wave before walking towards my car. I got in as they all huddled around Paul. They were talking to him about something but I wasn't entirely sure what though. I turned my car so that I could drive home.

Once home, I climbed the stairs to get some pajamas and go get in the shower. After I showered I immediately went to my room, shutting the door behind me. I turned my Bluetooth on my iPod and on my speaker. As I listened to my music, I kept thinking about Paul. I had just officially met him, but as soon as we made eye contact something about him changed.

He seemed to get really tense and I couldn't possibly understand why. I listened to the song 'Stay' on repeat for a little while. At some point in listening to it I dozed off to sleep. I didn't even realize how tired I was. It wasn't from doing any physical work, but I felt emotionally drained though.

I felt a breeze coming through my open window about an hour later. I sometimes liked to open my window when I was going to bed and it wasn't raining. I went over to my window to feel the nice breeze coming in. It was wonderful, I love smelling the fresh air that came in and filled my room. I walked back over to my bed to cover up as I felt a little chilled though. I started thinking about Paul and his lovely features again.

I didn't know why I was thinking about him so much. It's not like he was going to confess his love to me anytime soon. This crush hasn't left me for nearly nine years now. The first time I actually saw him, I was 9. Every time I'd seen his face I couldn't help but feel happy. I kept drifting back to what he looked like earlier though. I couldn't tell what the problem was since he had literally just been introduced to me.

I pushed it out of my mind now. I thought about possibly going back to First Beach tomorrow if it would actually be sunny. As I laid there asleep that night, I had continual dreams of Paul. I dreamt he held me lovingly in his arms. I dreamt he couldn't stop kissing me, holding me or telling me how much he really loved me.

The dream was wonderful, but I woke up the next morning wanting him to be there so badly. As I looked beside me, I was saddened at the thought I couldn't ever get him. He was always with a new girl. Every girl he was with never lasted more than a week. I looked out my window to see another wonderfully beautiful day. I decided it would be a good day to walk to First Beach. I threw on one of my bikinis and some old shorts and an old shirt as I walked to First Beach with nothing but my phone, iPod, speaker, keys and a towel. I put it all in a bag so it would be easier to pack.

I got there just in time to see that it was completely empty. I loved how this place never had any visitors. I turned on my speaker so I could listen to music. Thankfully there wasn't a soul around to hear me sing or watch me dance. I really enjoyed being able to free myself like this. The only thing I didn't realize was Paul and the others were standing some distance away, watching me and hearing everything.

When I turned to see them only a few feet away, I blushed. I gathered my stuff up because I could feel the tears welling up in my eyes. I was so embarrassed by the fact they caught me doing this. I started walking towards home after getting all my things picked up.

I walked ten feet past the boys before feeling someone grab my arm. I winced a little bit because his grip on my arm was a little too tight. He loosened his grip as I turned to face Paul. I could feel myself blushing even more and still wanting to cry. I felt like my chances were ruined at ever getting to date him. The tears started flowing down my hot cheeks. Paul wiped them away with his hand. His skin was considerably warmer than mine, but it felt nice though.

"Hey, don't cry Brittlyn. I wanted to apologize about yesterday. I didn't act like a gentleman. It's just… I never knew that there was anyone as beautiful as you alive. I'm sorry that we embarrassed you." Paul explained.

I looked up at him with a shocked look on my face. "Wh… What?"

Paul laughed as I took in what he said. "I know we really don't know each other, but I felt… connected to you after I met you yesterday. I know it seems crazy, but I want to spend every moment I can with you. You are beautiful in every way to me."

I dropped my stuff still shocked, but in a happy way. I couldn't believe Paul was actually talking to me. I felt a smile spread across my face. I hugged him and stayed there feeling the warmth he had. I pulled back realizing this must be wildly inappropriate and awkward.

"I'm sorry, I just… It's hard to explain. I'm just really happy that you want to spend time with me." I said stepping back for a second.

"It's fine. I am just happy that you're not mad at me after not speaking to you yesterday when we met. I just really like you and was hoping that maybe… Well maybe…" Paul was having trouble asking me what he wanted to. I could make a guess at what he wanted to ask.

"Paul," I said taking his face in my hands. "It's ok. Don't be nervous. I would love to go on a date with you!"

Paul put his hands on my waist pulling me closer to him. I put my arms around the nape of his neck. He leaned down to me, kissing me. I loved that he did this. My dreams of being with a man I loved were finally coming true. As he continued to kiss me, I put my hands in his hair holding on to him that way. He lifted me up so I would be on his level, which allowed me to wrap my legs around his waist.

When he finally quite kissing me, he pressed his forehead to mine. I held onto this strong man, not wanting to let go. I was afraid that if I did, then everything would disappear and I would wake up only to find out it was a dream. He held onto me before lightly kissing me on the forehead.

"Paul, I already feel so comfortable with you holding me in your arms. I never thought I'd get to feel it, but everything just feels right now. Everything is falling into place." I explained to him.

"I know Brittlyn. I feel the same way. Everything is just as it should be now. I will protect you. I will never hurt you and I will be whatever it is you need me to be. I will always be here for you. All I ask is that you don't ask me to stay away." He told me.

I nodded and kissed his neck as he let out a hot breath right next to my ear. I let out a low whimper. I could feel Paul smiling as he nuzzled my neck. I see now why so many girls loved being around him. It felt nice to have him with me. I couldn't feel happier if you paid me to. I didn't think that anyone or anything could ruin my good mood.

I walked with Paul to talk with some of the other guys. I spent a few hours with them, laughing and talking. They soon found out I had a great sense of humor. In fact, I was able to make Jared blush like a school girl with some of the jokes I would back at him after he tried embarrassing me. As I drove home, I thought nothing could ruin this perfect day. But I was about to proven wrong as I got home though.

As I walked in the front door, I heard mom screaming into the phone. Great, she was into it with dad again. I couldn't wait to get upstairs away from it all. Before I could start to climb the stairs to my bedroom, mom walked in looking drunk. She had stopped drinking a long time ago. I don't ever remember her looking like this. It was actually a little scary to see.

She came staggering in with a half empty bottle of wine in her hand. She took another drink and walked towards me. "I hate you! You are a stupid little bitch! Where have you been the last couple of days?! Have you been going to meet with some boy?!"

She shouted this at me. I felt scared and started backing away from her. I'd never seen mom like this. "ANSWER ME YOU LITTLE SLUT!" She started screaming again.

"No mom. I swear I just went down to the beach to enjoy the weather. Yes there were boys there. But I swear I wasn't there for them." I said as she got closer. I was frightened out of my mind.

Mom started hitting me. She slapped me and punched me in the nose and my eye. My nose started bleeding after she hit me. Then she grabbed my wrists, squeezing them tightly enough to leave bruises. "If I ever find out that you are seeing a boy, I will personally make sure he doesn't live to see another day." She threatened.

I instantly felt terrified for Paul. I looked at mom with tears in my eyes running upstairs to my bedroom. Mom stood there for a minute before going into the guest room downstairs to lay down for the night. I shut my door quickly but quietly as to not disturb my mother.

I turned on the light beside my bed. It didn't produce much light, but it was more than enough for the evening. I started sobbing as I slid down to a sitting position on the floor. I left my window open for the breeze. I couldn't quite crying for a while. At some point my nose had quite bleeding and I was finally out of tears.

I went to the bathroom to clean myself up. My eye was going to be blackened tomorrow. My heart started to pound in my chest again as I thought about what mom had said. I couldn't let her find out about Paul. At least not yet, because who knew what she'd try and do to him. Not that she was going to be a match for a guy who was 6"3' and weighed probably close to 160 pounds. He was a very muscular guy and mom wasn't even close to his size.

I went back to my bedroom to go to sleep for the night. I didn't even bother to eat anything for dinner this evening. I wasn't too hungry anymore after everything that's happened. I lay there sleeping. In that night I had my first nightmare about Paul. I dreamt that my mom had went out for a while, saying she needed to go get something at the store. When she got back, she had blood all over her. I looked at her shocked, asking where all the blood came from. She said she found out about me and Paul being together. She told me to help load his body into the grave in the back yard.

After that I woke up in sweats. I almost screamed out Paul's name as I sat up. Luckily I remembered not to. I went to quickly get dressed and grabbed my car keys and purse, going out to my car. I didn't want mom to start asking questions, but I did leave her a note saying I would be back later and that I wanted to talk to her. I didn't even check what the weather was like. It was an overcast day, looking to start raining again soon.

I found myself going to La Push for the third day in a row. I sat down in the same place I'd been hiding two days ago. I knew that no one could see me there unless they walked right over and just looked. My mom didn't ever come this far out of town, so I wouldn't expect her to come looking here. I knew that Paul and his friends from the reservation came here, but I figured they probably wouldn't show up though.

I only came because I needed to be alone. I wouldn't mind Paul being there, but he was probably doing something else with his friends. I didn't mind sitting here alone. I was able to cry freely and not worry about anyone seeing me. I didn't want to cause anyone to worry about me. Especially Paul now that we were going to start dating.

I suddenly heard footsteps getting closer to me. I froze solid not knowing who it'd be. When he finally came around the corner of the rock, I seen that it was only Paul. I was happy to see him, but I looked down and away from him, tracing patterns in the sand. I was upset about a few things and didn't want him to see me all bruised up. I couldn't even say anything because I knew I'd start crying if I did.

He came over sensing that something was wrong. He stood me up so we could talk. I still couldn't look at him. He was definitely worried now, moving my chin up to look him in the eye. He seen the bruised eye and my bruised nose. I looked down at my arm trying to cover up the bruises that were around my wrist. He moved my hand and looked down at my wrist.

Paul started shaking wildly, looking very angry. I took a couple steps back as he started scaring me. I wasn't sure what to do at this point, so I started to let the tears come again. That's when Paul turned into a wolf that was as big as a bear.

I fell back screaming for a second. The other guys that usually hung out with Paul came running over. They looked at me and how terrified and horrible I looked. They knew Paul didn't give me the bruises, but they could tell I was really scared.

"Brittlyn? Why don't you go on home?" Sam asked me in a compassionate tone with his rough voice.

"I… I can't… go home. At least not yet anyway. Is Paul going to be ok? I mean he just turned into a fucking wolf!" I asked still frightened and a little confused.

"Paul will be fine. Why can't you go home? Is something wrong?" Sam asked.

That's when I started crying again. I put my face in my hands and couldn't control it. I stood up shaking my head. "It's too much to try and explain. I just needed to be alone for a little bit I guess. Paul, baby? When you turn back to normal call me. I love you." I said before kissing him and walking up to my car.

When I was in the car, I was about to turn it on when I broke down again. I don't know why I couldn't stop all the crying, but it just kept coming. I need one of Paul's hugs for one thing. I was really confused about him turning into a bear sized wolf, but I knew he'd explain it to me. I'd accept him as he was no matter what he was. That's when Paul got into the car beside me.

"Thanks for not totally freaking out when I changed. I never thought I'd have to explain this so soon. But before I explain that, I think you should explain what happened to yourself since yesterday." Paul said raising an eyebrow.

I sighed before speaking. "I want you to promise you won't freak out. And I think we should talk about this outside of my car so you don't break it. OK?"

"Fair enough." Paul nodded in agreement.

We got out of the car and walked back down to the beach where we were in the first place. I hugged him wanting to take in his nice scent. It was something I didn't want to forget. I held his hand looking down for a moment before I spoke.

"Paul, please don't get mad but… my mom gave me this black eye, bloody nose and the bruises you see on my wrist. It was like any other normal day at home for me. My mom was yelling at my dad on the phone. When she hung up with him, she walked into the front door where I was, drunk as hell. She never gets drunk and hasn't for years. Yesterday I guess she finally had enough. Then when she walked into me, she started hitting me and called me a bitch and a slut. Then said if I ever met a guy she would personally make sure that she took care of them. Then, last night I had a horrible nightmare that she murdered you and I was devastated and heartbroken. And… and…" I couldn't say another word. The sobbing wouldn't stop.

Paul took me into his arms, hugging me and stroking my head gently as it lay against his chest. I felt so comforted by his bare arms being around me. I could hear his off heart beat as my ear was against his chest. This sound was more comforting to me. I loved being in Paul's presence because he knew exactly what to do to calm me down already. I'd never felt so much love before in my life. I never wanted to be away from him. There was so much I could see us doing together in life. I saw us eventually getting married and having our own family.

"Thanks babe. I feel better after talking to you about it. But I do still need some clarification on the whole you turning into a wolf thing." I said feeling much better.

"Ok. Well I assume you're familiar with my tribe's legends of descending from wolf people?" He asked.

"I know a little bit, but not really a whole lot." I said back.

I sat there listening to Paul explaining how it worked with him turning into a wolf, and how he imprinted on me the other day when we officially met. The way he explained it was romantic in a sense. Although the relationships that happen between the shape shifter and the person wasn't always romantic, it was still very sweet. I hugged Paul when he finished and looked down in a sheepish way. He hugged me back placing his chin on my head.

"Thanks for clarifying that Paul. If anything, I think it actually makes me love you even more than before. I have a boyfriend who can become a wolf at will. I actually think that's very sexy." I said right before kissing him.

He seemed to really enjoy the fact I was turned on by him being able to change into a wolf. He pinned me up against the rock kissing me on the neck. "Damn baby. I can smell you right now. If the guys weren't here and you weren't bruised, I'd totally do it with you."

I smiled at this, feeling Paul's breathe on me. He pressed himself against me, allowing me to feel how turned on he was. I leaned in to kiss Paul's hot, but soft lips. Paul nuzzled his lips into my neck, kissing me in all the right places. I couldn't help but whimper at this. I didn't even realize my hips moving forward to his. I did notice my breathing becoming heavier as I got more turned on though. Paul was smiling with each kiss, moving his hands down to my hips.

"Oh daddy! I wish you could just fuck me into submission here and now!" I whispered into his ear.

"I wish I could to baby girl. I want to feel you clench around my member for an orgasm." Paul growled into my neck.

I stopped right there. I cleared my head and started thinking about how we both were feeling. He noticed my change in posture. I wanted this badly, but would only go to teasing right now. So I played it off as if I were uncomfortable. He loosened his grip on me and I managed to wiggle free and start running from him. I ran towards the other boys, zig zagging through them and staying away from Paul.

It didn't help much as he was still very fast. He caught up to me almost tackling me to the ground. We lay there for a minute before he rolls onto his back allowing me to be on top. He sits up meeting my loving gaze. I grab him by the nape of his neck and bring him forward to kiss me. I press our foreheads together and stay there a few minutes before Paul is called over to Sam for a group meeting.

I get up with him, kissing him before I head home to talk to my mom. I also swap numbers with him so we can keep in touch with each other. I walk up to my old car starting it up and going home. I walked in and seen that everything was the same as I left before. But something did seem off though. I couldn't tell what it was at all.

I soon realized that everything was too silent and still for my liking. I looked around to try and find mom. She wasn't yelling at dad as she usually did about this time. I suddenly remembered her going to the guest bedroom to sleep last night. I went and knocked on the door. There was no answer and it seemed to be too quiet on the other side. I tried the door knob after calling in to mom. When there was no answer, I had to check on her. Although she had been mean last night, I still loved her and wanted to make sure she was ok.

I opened the door to check on her. She was of course just starting to get up. It was nearly noon and she was going to have a hangover. I didn't really want to have to deal with this today. I checked on her anyway, to see if she were going to be ok. I walked up to the bathroom to freshen up a bit. Mom came to the bathroom door and looked at me. She was eyeing me like something was wrong.

"Mom? What are you looking at?" I asked curiously.

"Where were you just at? You seem happier than usual." She said, coming over and smelling me a little bit.

"I was at the beach dad used to take me too. I needed some fresh air after yesterday. Is there a problem with that?" I asked looking at her. I turned to grab her a couple of Tylenol out of the cabinet above the sink. I handed them to her, watching her swallow them before speaking.

"Its fine I suppose. I just know those boys from the reservation go there. I don't want you around them. Plus you smell like a man and a dog or something. Who else was there?" She asked me curiously.

"The guys from the reservation were there. I talked with one of them for a few minutes. It was nothing though. They all seem really nice. Why are you so against me being near them?" I shot back.

"I just don't want you getting into any trouble. I don't want you talking to any of them! I know what kind of trouble they are. Especially that one that likes to sleep around. If he is the one who talked to you, I will never let you go to the beach again." She said almost threateningly.

"Ok mother. I love you and don't want you to worry. I will do my best not to talk to any of them." I said hesitantly. I loved Paul and wasn't about to give up what we had.

"Good. Now come down and make dinner for us." Mother said as the house phone rang.

I knew it would be dad again. I went down and started making dinner. I made lasagna from scratch. I listened to mom yell at dad the whole time. It was starting to get on my last nerve that they fought so much. Even before the divorce things weren't ever this bad that I remember. Mom had been through a lot since then though. Dad never came to see me anymore and would never actually speak with me. It was as if he never truly cared about either of us. I never stopped caring about him or mom.

When dinner was finally ready, I called mom in to eat. My phone went off as I started eating at the table. I looked at the message. It was from Paul, which was almost surprising.

P: Hey Brittlyn. I miss you. Leave your window open tonight. I will come to see you after patrols.

B: Hey Paul. I miss you too. Would like to talk with you when you come over. Everything is fine I guess. Just be ready for a long talk.

I didn't get a text back. I assume Paul had read the text and changed into his wolf form. Mom watched me texting. She looked curious as I had set my phone back down. She raised an eyebrow and looked at me.

"By the way, I wanted to apologize for last night. I'm sorry that I gave you the bruises. I guess I had just got fed up with your father." Mom started talking.

"Thanks mom. It means a lot that you apologized." I said as my phone buzzed again.

This time Paul was calling me. I declined his call because I was eating dinner. I didn't think anything about it. I took my phone upstairs to charge. I went back to finish eating.

"Who was that honey?" Mom asked.

"Just a friend. They were wanting to know if I was doing ok." I almost lied through my teeth.

We sat through the rest of dinner in silence. I took our plates to the sink and cleaned the kitchen. Just as I finished up, there was a knock at the door. Mom went to answer it as I was putting things away. I didn't know who it was because no one ever came to visit us. I heard mom yell some profanity thing and slam the door in someone's face. She came stomping in madder than a hornet.

"Why the hell is that sleazy boy from the reservation here asking about you?!" Mom yelled at me.

"What are you talking about mom? As far as I know none of them know where I even live." I said turning almost ghostly white.

Mom noticed my shocked expression. She came over and slapped me before pushing me down. She grabbed a knife and pointed it at me. She walked over to where I was on the ground and pressed it to my wrist.

"Are you thinking about this little boy? Are you in love with him?" She smirked before dragging me to the front door. She opened it and Paul stood there calmly. "Is this little boy your secret boyfriend?"

Paul seen how mom had the knife pressed to my wrist. She also had a chunk of my hair in the other hand. I was so scared of her hurting Paul. I couldn't even speak to her now. I wanted Paul to run before he got hurt.

"So what if I am? I can date whoever I want. So can't she. She is old enough to make some choices of her own." Paul said angrily.

"Listen here you little sleaze bag. I know all about you. I don't want you fucking my daughter and getting her pregnant! She is not allowed to see you." Mom said letting go of me and glaring at Paul.

That's when Paul grabbed me and pulled me beside him. He kept an arm wrapped around me as he growled. I put my hand on his chest and my other hand around his waist. It made mom angry that I was even thinking about him. Now she was furious that we were even touching.

"If you don't mind, we need some privacy. I will be taking her elsewhere to talk. You will see her again later when we are done." Paul said picking me up and packing me to his car.

We drove back to the small beach. We got out and walked back to where we were earlier today. I held Paul's hand as he stood in the sunset. I couldn't help but smile when I looked at him. He smiled back at me, before kissing my cheek and hugging me.

"How long has this been going on for?" Paul asked, looking concerned.

"The last six years. The last year and a half has been the worst though." I said.

"I will protect you from that." Paul said back.

I don't know what it was, but something in me just wanted to kiss Paul so bad. I couldn't resist his beautiful lips any longer. I placed my chest on him, pulled his face down to mine and kissed him passionately. Paul placed his hands on my waist, pulling me physically closer to him. Suddenly, my back was against the rock again with Paul's hot breath on my neck with each kiss he placed. I put my hands on the nape of his neck.

"I love you baby girl. Fuck, you are so wet and it turns me on…" He said in a growling tone.

"I love you too daddy! All I want is to feel your rock hard cock inside me." I whispered, breathing heavily into his ear.

I heard Paul growl when I called him daddy. It made me moan and a rush of heat was sent to my core. I wanted this so badly because I wanted to love Paul so much physically. I let him pull my shirt and bra off to match his shirtless top. He cupped a breast and whispered something. He lifted me up and allowed me to put legs around his waist. I felt his breath on my breasts. Another rush of heat went to my core. I wanted to feel the friction between us now.

"Daddy! Please… Please put yourself in my sacred area!" I said a little lower than I should have.

Paul smiled up at me. He put me down though. I was left wanting more. He only let out a little chuckle. I whimpered and pouted that he teased me a little bit. I guess this was his pay back for earlier. I got myself dressed again. Paul hugged me one more time before taking me back home.

I loved spending time with Paul. My mother felt differently about him. She had control issues and it drove me insane. It was enough to start driving me away from her. Especially lately. This was not how I wanted my mom to find out about Paul. I would have told her sometime, but just not this soon. Paul hesitantly dropped me off at the house. He kissed me and told me that he had patrol with Sam tonight. I frowned the tiniest bit, but smiled hoping I'd get to see him tomorrow.

I pecked his cheek before getting out of his car and going inside. Mom heard me come inside. She walked in to where I placing my jacket on a hook. I turned to see her glaring at me. I knew she was upset with me for going with Paul earlier, but she'd need to learn and deal with it. I rolled my eyes at her glare and started up the stairs. She grabbed my arm tightly like last night.

"I'm telling you right now to break up with this boy. He is no good for you and will only use you." Mom said, holding a hurt look in her eyes but an angry expression on her face.

"I'm not going to break up with Paul, mom. I don't understand why you are hating him so much when you don't even know him. I love him and he loves me mom. I'm tired so I'm going to go to bed." I explained, pulling from her grip.

I turned and walked myself upstairs. I grabbed my pajamas and went for the shower. After I got myself cleaned up, which meant shaving tonight, I went back to my bedroom. I opened my window up for the night's fresh air coming in. I sat on the little ledge of my window, holding one knee to my chest and allowing the other to dangle over the edge. I thought about Paul for the whole night. I stayed up until almost two in the morning. That's when I grabbed my phone and was going to text Paul.

B: Hey baby. I just wanted to check on you. I hope you're ok. Going to go to bed now.

I put my phone on charge and turned on my music. I fell asleep to the song Addicted, keeping it on repeat tonight. This is how I felt towards Paul right now, and had for the last nine years. I dreamt those sweet dreams of him again tonight. This time it was of us on the beach though. We held hands walking towards the same place we were earlier. The dream led up to us having sex and it being wonderful.

I woke up the next morning to the sun coming through my window as bright as can be. That's when I felt a warm arm wrap around me. I didn't feel scared, but comforted though. I turned to see Paul's beautiful face laying on the pillow next to me. I felt like I could never be beautiful enough for him. It made me frown a little bit. Paul noticed this and pulled my chin up so I could meet his gaze.

"What's wrong Brittlyn? Why so sad?" He asked boring a hole into my soul.

"I guess… I don't feel beautiful enough for you Paul. I get that you imprinted on me, but it still doesn't mean I feel that great about myself." I explained to him. He pulled me close.

"You are beautiful though. I want to prove it to you somehow. I promise I will someday." Paul said kissing me. "Now why don't you tell me why you were saying my name in your sleep last night?"

"I can't believe that I did! But it was nothing more than a dream." I said before wiggling away from him. I went to find a bathing suit to wear to First Beach.

"Oh, so it was a dirty dream then. We had some pretty good sex." He said to me from the bed. I could practically hear the smirk in his voice.

I turned to him after finding the bathing suit I wanted to wear. I decided to just change in front of him. This would be his punishment for smirking at the dream I had. He'd already seen me naked yesterday at the beach. I let my clothes drop to the floor and did a couple of stretching poses to really show off in front of him. I pulled up the bikini bottoms and went to tie the top. Paul got up to help me tie the top around my neck and back. He lingered there for a second. I turned around to see that he had this lustful look in his eyes.

"Paul!" I said playfully to him, while rolling my eyes playfully at him.

"What? I can't look at your already beautiful body and want to kiss you all over?" He smirked again.

I got some clothes on over my bikini before grabbing my stuff from a few days ago. I wanted to walk to the beach again today. I wanted to be as tan as possible before the end of summer. It wouldn't be anywhere near as good as what Paul looked like, but I could hold a little bit of color. I grabbed his hand and pulled him downstairs. I cooked us a small breakfast before we went out to the beach. Paul practically sucked his food down whole. I finished mine not to longer after him though.

We walked to the beach holding hands. I felt like I was so lucky to have Paul care for me this much. We talked about what our future would hold and what we wanted to do. I loved talking about our future plans. We sat on the beach once we got there and just enjoyed being with each other. I rubbed on Paul's chest when he laid back on my towel. I loved how Paul was positioned right now.

I decided I would tease him a little and then run to the water. I started kissing him as I ran my hand up and down his chest and toned abs. I slowly started running my hand towards his cock. I slipped my hand over his clothed area. I started straddling him and went to town grinding on him. I felt how hard he was getting. I heard the guys coming this way and looked to see them coming in the distance.

"Catch me if you can daddy!" I whispered seductively to him.

I smiled thinking the guys timing couldn't have been more perfect. I got up and went running down the beach. I was heading toward the water when I looked back to see Paul coming after me with a smile on his face. I smiled and laughed as he chased me down the beach. I screamed a couple of times as he almost caught me. The guys were close and staring at us now. I ran over to hide behind Sam and tease Paul a little bit. I didn't think anything of it as I grabbed Sam's arm, but it seemed to make Paul furious that I was clinging onto the Alpha playfully.

I looked at Sam with a little confusion on my face. He looked down to me concerned. He looked at Paul. Then I realized he must be a little bit mad at me for going to Sam and grabbing him. I watched Paul shake and get angrier. The only thing I could think to do was hug him.

"I'm sorry Paul. I didn't mean to make you mad. I was just wanting to play and have fun with you." I said all sad like as I went to hug him. When I wrapped my arms around him and frowned with my apology, he stopped shaking.

"No, it's my fault Brittlyn. I know you didn't mean anything by it. I'm sorry to you too Sam." Paul said hugging me back and looking to Sam, nodding at him.

I loved feeling his warmth envelope me. It was like he was the sunshine of my life. I smiled into his chest as he apologized. I listened to his heart and breathing. It was the almost as calming than him just holding me. Paul kissed the top of my head and the guys started making barfing noises. When I heard it, I kissed Paul on his chin before he stuck his tongue out at the guys. Suddenly a couple of girls came walking over. One went to Sam and the other to Jared.

Paul started pulling me away from the newcomers as they came over. He told me about what happened to the girl who was with Sam. I could understand why Sam would feel so terrible. I walked back over to be introduced to the girls who just arrived. Emily was Sam's imprint and Kim was Jared's. I gave them both a hug and told them how gorgeous they looked. I looked to Sam winking at him and telling him he must be happy with Emily. I looked to Jared and complimented him on his imprint too.

Paul was kissing on me again in front of everyone. I could occasionally feel him bite on my neck gently. I smiled and told everyone that I'd be back with Paul in just a minute. I started running toward the water again as Paul chased after me. Once I swam out to about waist deep, Paul finally caught up with me.

"Now baby girl, why would you tease daddy like that?" He asked kissing me there in the water. I whimpered at his kisses and touching me in the water.

"Like I said before, I was just trying to have some fun with you. I can honestly say this is some of the most fun I've ever had." I said smiling at Paul.

I felt him go to untie my top. When he put his hands there, Sam called over for Paul. He dropped his hands disappointedly. I told him I'd be waiting here for him. He got out of the water and went to talk to Sam. I stayed there watching them talk about whatever it was they needed to talk about. That's when I felt a stinging pain on my leg. I screamed out in pain and fell over in the water. I quickly pulled myself up and started for shore, still in pain.

As I got closer to shore, Paul met me there. He lifted me up and packed me back to the towel I brought. He sat me down on it and looked right around my ankle. I looked with him, feeling tears come to my eyes from the pain. As I looked I could tell it was a Jellyfish sting. Paul got a smile on his face. I looked at him wondering why he was smiling. I remembered watching something that said you could pee on a jellyfish sting and help it feel a little better. I laid back closing my eyes, almost certain Paul was thinking the same thing. He was and sure enough he peed on my ankle. It helped a lot with in a matter of a few minutes the pain was almost gone.

"Thank you Paul. It feels much better now." I said as the others came walking over.

"You're welcome babe. Anything to make you feel better." Paul said, helping me to stand.

"Everything ok over here now?" Emily asked.

"Fine now thanks to Paul." I said.

That's when a strong breeze came ripping through. It was so strong that my bikini top nearly came off. I quickly looked to Paul who had to retie the back of it for me. I was also feeling a little chilly as the breeze went through. Paul could feel me shiver, so he wrapped his arms around me and brought our bodies together. He was always so warm and I don't think I could ever get used to it.

"So what are we going to do now you guys? The day is still young and I'm ready to have some more fun!" I said excitedly. I bent down to put my shorts on as my lower half was nearly dry.

"We brought some different kinds of balls to play with. We just didn't think a girl would want to play." Quil said.

"Well meet a girl who likes throwing some balls around." I said winking at Paul.

He quickly got my reference and got a twinkle in his eye. We went over to pass the football around a little before starting a game of it. Everyone was having fun as we played football and a little with the soccer ball. After a couple more hours of this, I was starting to get tired. I went over with the girls and hung out with them. I talked to them and got to know them a little bit more. They were both very nice and were head over heels for their imprints. I understood why they'd feel that way.

I put my shirt on and heard a car come to a stop at the road. I didn't bother to look at who it even was. I was just watching Paul who had turned his attention to me. He winked at me then was talked by Jared. That's when I was jerked around and punched in the nose. I didn't know who it was at first. When I balanced myself with the help of Emily and Kim, I looked to see that it was my mom.

"Why the hell are you here? I thought I told you not to come here and to break up with that stupid boy?!" Mom shouted at me.

"I'm here because I love being with Paul! I love being here because dad would bring me here as a little girl. It holds good memories for me mom! I've met my boyfriend here and made new friends here in a matter of days. Why can't you let me live without controlling me?!" I screamed back at her. Paul and the guys came over to the scene now.

"Because you are too good for any of these… People! I'm taking you home now!" Mom shouted and grabbed my arm.

I jerked away before speaking to her. "I'm not going anywhere with you mom. I'm in love and having a great time. Or at least I was until you showed up and punched me in the fucking nose!"

"Excuse me little missy, but you will be coming home!" Mom continued.

"I will come home when I'm damn well ready!" I told her.

Mom stomped off, clearly upset that I wouldn't listen to her. I stood there until she left. I finally turned around to look at everyone. I went to my stuff, sitting on my blanket with my face in my hands. I started crying a little bit. Paul came over only to lift me up enough to sit me on his lap. I laid my head on his shoulder and cried a little more.

Paul was the only person anymore who could calm me down so well. I hugged and kissed him everywhere that I could. I turned myself so we could be facing each other. I looked into his beautiful chocolate brown eyes. I put my hands on the nape of his neck. I let one hand move up to his hair. I love how his hair feels. It was short and darker than his eyes.

"Paul? Do you know how much I appreciate you being so kind to me? Actually… I love you Paul. I love you more than anything else in the world." I explained to him.

He put a hand on the nape of my neck and he kissed me. "I know you do. I love you more than anything else in this world. I will be there for you no matter what happens."

I smiled at him before snuggling my way into his chest. I was a little chilled again and his warmth was just what I needed. He put his arms around me as I closed my eyes. I must've fell asleep for a few minutes before waking up to the others yelling and having a good time. I looked up to Paul who was lightly rubbing my back. He didn't notice me being awake, so I kissed his chin. He looked down at me to see me awake now.

"Hey. You must've been pretty tired, weren't you?" Paul asked.

"I was just really relaxed in your arms I guess. How long was I out for anyway?" I asked, getting up to stretch.

"Just a few minutes. I didn't want to wake you." Paul said.

He stood up and helped me to pack up my things. We walked over to be with everyone else. I wanted to spend a few more minutes of my time with them before I went home. I suggested another fun game to them. They asked what I had in mind. I told them what I was thinking.

"Marco Polo sounds like a fun game. Who's going to be it?" Jared asked.

"I know a way of making this more interesting. You guys should be it first. That way you can find us girls. Or us girls can go first and find you guys." I suggested.

"You girls definitely have to go first. That way we guys can be found." Paul said.

We agreed on girls going first. We let the guys spread out a little bit before starting. One girl would shout out at a time to find their imprint. When I would go, I would listen very closely to Paul's voice. I would carefully judge the direction it came from. I finally found him as he led me to the same big rock we've been to the last couple of days. It was fun to be led here though.

Paul attacked my neck and collarbones though when we were over here. I wrapped my arms around him, smiling. I couldn't seem to stop smiling when he kissed me. That's when he moved a hand down to my crotch. I stopped and froze where I stood. I felt a little tense when he did this. I realize I did this to him earlier and he already seen me naked. But that was in the heat of the moment. Now I was just very aware of what was going on. Paul stopped after he sensed my tension. He moved his hand away and looked me in the eyes.

"Sorry, I guess I'm just getting to restless waiting for things to happen." Paul apologized, his eyes looking down.

"It's ok. I guess it's partly my fault for teasing a little myself." I said feeling a little guilty for doing that to him.

We walked over to everyone and told them goodbye. Paul walked me home and to the front door. I felt bad he walked all this way three times already today. I told him how I felt. He told me it was ok. That he loved walking all this way. He'd do it every day if he had too. I kissed him goodbye at the door. He didn't want to leave but promised he'd keep me posted as he went on patrols. He went home to sleep a little bit before going out again tonight.

I walked in to mom talking to dad on the phone. At first she was calm. It sounded like she was telling dad about what's happened between us earlier. I walked into the kitchen to make some dinner. I just threw a couple of frozen meals into the microwave. I sat moms on the table for whenever she was ready to eat. I grabbed a bottle of white wine to drink with my meal.

I told mom her food was on the table waiting for her. She stood there staring at me with the bottle of wine in my hand. I rolled my eyes and went to put it back. I took my microwave meal up to my room. After I finished eating, I took my stuff downstairs and did up some laundry. I washed and dried it, then brought it upstairs to put it away. After that, mom came in and stood in the doorway of the bathroom.

"What's wrong mom?" I asked confused and still agitated with her.

"I'm just trying to figure out why you are hanging around a bunch of drug sellers. It wouldn't surprise me if you were in on all their doings. Are you using drugs now?" Mom asked seriously.

I looked at her stunned and grew more agitated. "How dare you accuse Paul and his friends of using drugs? And you raise me better than that!"

"Then what is it you are doing with them. I don't believe for one second that you love that boy you're with." She continued.

"You know what mom? Fuck you! I love Paul and meant every word that I said earlier. Just because you don't know what real true love feels like doesn't mean I don't. I can decide for myself what I want to do and who I want to love. It's not like Paul is pressuring me to go and fuck him. If anything, he respects me as a human being. He wouldn't dare to push me into something I didn't want to do." I said before storming into my room.

I shut the door and locked it behind me. I changed into an oversized shirt and some new underwear. I sat at the window taking in the air that flowed in. I brought my phone with me in case Paul would text or call me. I turned to hang both of my feet out the window. I didn't do this often, so I knew I was very stressed out. Suddenly the door handle jiggled furiously on my door. I went to see what mom wanted. She stood there looking at me in the clothes I had on.

"Why don't you have any pants on? Is he here? Let me in to look around!" Mom demanded.

"He's not here and I like wearing this to bed. Look around if you want but you won't find anything out of the ordinary." I said smirking at her.

Mom came in to look around. She saw that I was right. She left my room and let me be alone. I heard my phone buzz on my night stand. I went to check it. Paul texted me and said he was starting patrol. I told him to be careful. I went to bed early that night.

The next morning I woke up to a text from Paul. I saw he had texted me good morning. I texted him back saying the same. I looked outside to see it was raining. It had put a damper on my mood already. I was hoping to go and see Paul today. I was already missing him and we hadn't been apart that long.

Around noon, it was starting to clear up. It was sunny and warm again. It was still wet on the ground though. I decided to drive myself out to the beach today. I really was getting a feeling that something bad was going to happen. I wasn't entirely sure what, but something was definitely not right. I walked around the beach, letting my mind wander and my legs go wherever they wanted to. I mindlessly wandered into the woods. I kept walking until I was at this cliff side. I'd seen it from the beach and had always wondered what it'd be like from here.

I walked relatively close to the edge. My phone started to ring from a phone call. I looked to see who it was. Caller I.D. said Paul. I quickly answered in case something was wrong.

"Hey Paul. Is everything ok?" I asked first thing.

"Everything's fine babe. I was just going to ask you the same thing. Where are you? I found your car out by the beach, but don't see you." Paul said.

"Oh I'm up on the cliff close to the beach. I see you now." I said as I started to wave at him.

"Oh I see you now. I'll be right there." Paul said before hanging up.

He ran into the woods and took his clothes off. He changed into his wolf form and picked his clothes up. In his mouth. He followed my scent and found me by the cliff. I turned to look at his beautiful wolf form. He walked over to me dropping his clothes. I was feeling turned on by his ability to shift between forms. I saw him smirk in his wolf form. He could smell me getting turned on.

He sniffed at my crotch with his wolf nose, causing me to grab some of his wolf hair and close my eyes. He pressed his nose into my crotch, causing me to whimper. I took off my clothes allowing him to see me naked. I laid down on the ground, waiting for him.

"Please do it now Pauley. I don't want the chance to change my mind." I said almost begging him.

"I can't do it here and now baby. I want this as much as you do, but I want it to be special when we have our first time. I do have something else I will do though." I heard Paul say.

Suddenly I felt his warm fingers on my princess parts. His warmth made me feel a little pleasure. I felt myself start to move my hips towards his hand. I wanted him to do something. That's when he started rubbing his fingers on my clit. It felt so nice having his hands move over me like this. I slowly started breathing a little heavier, my hips moving with his hand and moans coming out. I loved his hand giving me the pleasure I needed so desperately right now. It made me forget everything else for a bit. I suddenly felt my stomach tightening and Paul's other hand moving to go inside me a little bit. I felt my orgasm getting closer as he went faster. I finally was able to release my orgasm on his hand, allowing my body to go weak and limp.

Then Paul started to kiss my princess parts, sometimes licking the juices off me. He wanted me to be clean. He also didn't want his pack brothers to smell me. I felt so loved by Paul right now. I couldn't believe he would do this for me. I sat up and looked to him. He was as naked as me. Although he did try to conceal his erection from me, I could tell he was turned on by what just happened.

I went over and did the same thing to him. I gave him the best hand job I knew how. I used both of my hands to get him to cum. I pushed him to lay down as I went on. I remember researching a guy's most sensitive places. I would rub or touch on them as Paul bucked his hips. He finally exploded everywhere, and let out a deep growl. I found his growl very sexy. I licked him clean before he sat up.

"That was great Brittlyn. Where in the world did you learn to do that at?" Paul asked with a twinkle in his eye.

"I did some research in school for a class. Let's just say I am good and remembering things that are of interest to me." I said, straddling him.

Paul pulled me close to his chest. My breasts were being smashed against his chiseled pecks. He rubbed my naked back as I kissed on his neck. I loved feeling his heat against my whole body. I stayed warm being right on top of him. Paul turned me on his lap to look out onto the water. It was beautiful to look at. I loved being able to curl up in Paul's arms and stay warm. Soon enough our moment was over though. I got dressed and was ready to go back to my car.

As I did, the smile that I had before slowly faded away. I was lost in thought as I started walking back to where I had parked. When I got to my car, Paul grabbed my waist and turned me around. He searched my face as if he were looking for an answer to something.

"I will be fine Paul. I just need to talk to mom about some stuff. I will test you if I need anything, ok?" I said rubbing on his arm.

He nodded to me before watching me pull out to head home. I looked in my rear view mirror to watch him run into the woods. I heard him howl. It was a sad howl at that. I pulled into the driveway and parked my car behind moms. When I walked in the front door, something seemed kind of off. I couldn't place my finger on it though. I walked around the hose making sure everything was ok.

That's when I remembered mom being in bed when I left. It was weird that she wasn't up by now. I went up to check on her. Her bedroom door was cracked open a little bit. I felt a breeze coming in through her window.

When I opened the door, she was in bed. I went over to shake her a little bit. I told her it was time to get up out of bed and move around. It was odd that the covers were pulled up on her so high. I rolled them down a little bit after noticing a dark wet place. I was curious so I pulled the covers down to look at the place closer. When I had seen what caused the place in the covers. I screamed upon seeing the sight of my mom bleeding out. I quickly ran to the phone and called for help.

They asked for my address and I gave it to them. I told them the situation and said we needed an ambulance quickly. I hung up after giving them the information, then ran back into mom. I tried to see if she was still alive. Nothing was happening and I started crying. I was terrified as to what was going to happen.

As soon as the ambulance and Officer Swan showed up, I showed them to where my mother was. Officer Swan hugged me because he knew me and my mother for a very long time. He asked if I knew what had happened. I shook my head and said I had no idea what happened after last night. He asked me about my eye and other bruises I have. I told him the same thing I had told Paul a few days ago. I also mentioned everything that's happened over the last few days.

He allowed me my time alone at the stairs. A few minutes later, Carlisle, who was a doctor here in Forks and was one of the Cullens, came over to talk to me. He gave me a hug as an 'I'm sorry about your lose' kind of thing. He then looked at my eye and other bruises. He said they will heal over time. That's when I got a text from Paul.

P: Hey. How's things with your mom? Did you talk to her yet about things?

B: No. Paul, I need you to come over here now. There is a major problem and I just need your comfort. Come in human form though.

P: I'm coming right now. Will be there in ten.

By the time Paul got here they were taking my mom out in a body bag. I was up in my room looking at the photo albums from over the years. I had been crying so much that there were no more tears I could let go. I closed the book before hearing Paul call for me.

I threw the book down and ran to him. "Paul. Thank God you're finally here!"

"Babe, what's wrong? What happened? Who was that in the body bag?" Paul asked.

"That was my mother Paul. She bleed to death while I was gone! To think I was so careless. I could've stopped it and saved her Paul! I could've helped her and saved her life!" I started tearing up again.

"It wasn't your fault Brittlyn." Paul said comfortingly.

"He's right Brittlyn." Carlisle spoke up.

I heard Paul let out a deep growl towards the good doctor. "What are you doing here Carlisle?" Paul growled out.

"Paul be nice! He's just doing his job! Please continue Dr. Cullen." I said almost hissing at Paul.

"It looks like someone came in through the window in the guest bedroom and murdered your mother and raped her. You're lucky that you weren't here when it happened. I suspect that Paul here wouldn't have liked that." Carlisle explained.

"Thank you Dr. Cullen. I still feel like I should've been here when it happened though. I feel like I could've helped her in some way." I said feeling as guilty as ever.

"I know. Listen, since you're still only 17, you're going to need someone to stay with until you're 18. Is there any family or a neighbor you could stay with until then?" Carlisle asked.

"She's going to come stay with me and my parents until then. I know it's sudden but I know they wouldn't mind. I've already told them about my beautiful girl anyway." Paul said, making me blush.

"That's great! I assume you two are together?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes. We've been together for going on four days." Paul said something else to him in a whisper that I didn't understand. I couldn't quit hear it.

"That's great news. Congratulations! I hope you two are happy. In the meantime, Brittlyn you should probably pack your things and head back to Paul's place." Carlisle said smiling before leaving. He waved goodbye as he left.

I went upstairs and packed a couple of suitcases full of my most important belongings. One bag filled with clothes and bathroom supplies, the other with some memories of my mother. That one would stay under the bed or in a closet packed up. I came back down to Paul and set my stuff down. I looked around, remembering things from my childhood. This house was now going to be full of terrors for me. It no longer would be a home for me to come to.

Paul picked up my bags as I got my purse and keys for my car and the house. He set his stuff in the back seat of my car and took the keys out of my hands. I was too sad and weak to argue with him. I climbed into the passenger side as he started the car. I looked out the window at the house before we started off to his parents place. He called them and told them what happened. He said they were more than happy to take me in.

I felt guilty for barging in on them like this. Paul's parents seemed like very nice people. They were overly happy that I was here and very happy that Paul was happy. I managed a small smile and said thank you to them.

"I really appreciate you guys taking me in like this. I hate to impose on you though. If you will let me, I will help out as much as I can. I will take on whatever responsibilities I need to." I told them as we still talked downstairs.

"It's our pleasure dear. We haven't seen Paul this happy or this calm since he was a little boy. You will be sleeping in his bed by the way. His room is up the stairs to the left. Let me help you to unpack." Paul's mother offered.

"Oh you really don't have to do that. I'm sure I can manage." I said.

Before I could object, Paul's mother grabbed one of my bags and headed upstairs guiding me in the right direction. Upstairs was smaller than the downstairs was. I didn't mind though. It just meant that I'd feel closer to Paul. I'd feel more protected than ever. I started crying once again that day. I thought threw the events that happened since Paul and I started dating. I couldn't help but sit down on the bed, face in hands.

"I'm sorry. I don't mean to cry. I'm just very upset right now I guess." I explained.

"It's ok dear. Why don't I send Paul up to talk to you?" She asked.

"Thank you. I would really like to talk with him." I said.

Paul's mother walked out of the room. I opened my suitcase that held the photo albums. I took one out and started looking through it. I found a lot of the pictures of me and mom on vacation. We always had so much fun together, laughing and smiling. I felt tears streaming down my face as I looked through the family photos.

"Hey babe. I'm here now. Is everything ok?" Paul asked putting his arms around me.

"I love you Paul. I am really grateful to be staying here with you and your parents. They are so sweet." I said looking at Paul. I put my photo album back in my bag. Before I could zip it up Paul got it back out looking through it.

"You are such a beautiful girl. Even as a child you always had that twinkle in your eyes when you smiled. You always had that look that makes all your problems melt away." Paul said, closing the book.

When he looked over at me, I was laying with my head on his shoulder, fast asleep. He put the book away in my suitcase and zipped it up. He gently placed my head on the pillow and grabbed the extra blanket at the end of his bed to cover me up. He kissed me on the forehead before moving my memory bag into his closet. Then he moved some things in his drawers around to make room for my stuff. Then quietly, he put my stuff away. He looked at me one last time before going downstairs.

"How is she doing son?" Paul's step-father asked.

"Brittlyn's very tired. She fell asleep as we were looking through one of her family photo albums. I feel really bad for her, but I love her no matter what happens. I know she feels the same about me." Paul said.

"We know she loves you Paul. Your step-father and I could see it in her eyes when she looks at you. We see it in yours when you look at her too." Paul's mother said.

"Listen, I need to head out for a little bit. I will be back after a while, but I really need to go and talk with Sam." Paul said.

"Ok dear. Be careful." Paul's mother said.

Paul went outside and changed once he was in the woods. Once he was in wolf form, he was able to communicate with his brothers. They could see into each other's minds and see each other's thoughts. All of his brothers and Leah seen what had happened with me through his head. They all started howling through the night. They felt Paul's pain for me, but also his love. They went on patrol for the night taking shifts.

The next morning, I woke up feeling a little refreshed. It took a minute to remember where I was. Once I remembered, I got up and got dressed. I brushed my hair and put it into a single ponytail. I walked downstairs to see that breakfast was being made, everything smelling delicious.

"Good morning everyone! What smells so delightful down here?" I asked stretching.

"Good morning, Brittlyn! I made bacon, eggs and blueberry pancakes! How are you feeling this morning?" Paul's mother asked.

"That sounds so yummy! I'm doing a bit better today. Where's Paul at?" I asked kind of curious. I figured he'd probably be with his brother's in wolf form.

"He went out to talk with Sam last night. Haven't seen him since then." Paul's step-father said.

"Oh ok. I hope he's alright." I said a little concerned.

Just then Paul walked in looking tired as hell. He also looked very hungry when he smelled the food his mother had cooked. She dished up a plate of food for the both of us. She also poured us a glass of milk. Paul came and sat down on the bar stool next to me. He gave me a quick peck on the cheek. I blushed a little as he did this in front of his family. I started to eat as he did. We were both fairly hungry, but for much different reasons I suppose. As soon as I was finished, I went over to help wash dishes in the kitchen. It was the least I could do after the Lahote's had agreed to let me stay with them.

"Paul, honey, why don't you go lay down? You look so wore out." Paul's mother said.

"I think I will. I am really tired after all. Brittlyn, can I talk to you upstairs for a minute?" Paul asked bringing his dishes over.

"Let me finish up here and I will be right with you Paul." I said washing up the dishes.

After I finished helping with the dishes, I walked upstairs to go see Paul laying in bed almost asleep. I walked over to him, getting in bed next to him. I started running my fingers through his hair. It caused him to wrap his arms around me and lay his head on my lap. He was so at peace that he drifted off to sleep very quickly. I loved hearing him snore as he slept. I gently laid his head on the pillow and got my pencils and sketchbook out of my bag.

While Paul lay there asleep, I decided it would be a good time to draw a portrait of him. I was going to love drawing his perfect features. I only started drawing him with my black pencils that I could erase easily. I would go back later to color it in the best I could. After I drew him, I got my colored pencils and went downstairs. I asked if there was anything I could do before going out to enjoy the beautiful sun.

"No dear, not right now. If you don't mind me asking, what are you working on?" She asked wanting to see my picture of Paul.

"I drew a picture of Paul sleeping. I find that when I'm most stressed out, things like drawing, music and other artistic stuff helps me to relax." I said showing her the picture I made of Paul.

"That's amazing Brittlyn! Hon, you should see this!" Paul's mother said to her husband.

"Thanks. I want to finish it before giving it to Paul. I'm making it a surprise for him. Do you think he'll like it?" I asked both Paul's parents.

"He sure will. I think he'll love it. You better go finish it before he wakes up though." Paul's step-father complimented.

I nodded walking out to the porch. I sat down with my legs bent at the knee. I leaned my back against the house and began to use colors on the drawing I made. I wasn't paying attention when Sam and the rest of the pack were walking towards the house. I looked up giving my neck a break from looking down. I finally saw them five feet from the steps, so I stood up to greet them. I had set my stuff down leaving the picture face up so it wouldn't be smudged.

"Hey Brittlyn. It's nice to see you. We heard about what happened from Paul. I'm sorry for the intrusion on your personal life. I'm also sorry for your lose." Sam said.

"Thanks Sam. I really appreciate the sympathy. I still feel pretty torn up about it, but I'm working through things. I'm just happy to have Paul in my life now. It makes things easier when I have someone there to support me through it." I said as Sam hugged me.

Seth came up and gave me a hug next. "I know losing a parent isn't easy."

"You're a sweet kid Seth. Thank you." I said.

Everyone else came up hugging me and telling me how sorry they were for my lose. The only person left was Leah. I didn't want to push her into anything she didn't want to. It surprised me when she came over to hug me. I hugged her back and felt her take a deep breath. As she pulled back, I seen the tears running down her face. I linked arms with her and walked away from the house. I wanted to talk with her in private because she was clearly upset and I wanted to help her.

"Leah, I'm sorry about you losing your dad. I know it's hard to lose someone like that. I can't even imagine what it must be like for you to have to run with all the guys. Especially Sam. I know it's difficult to be around someone who left you heartbroken. But I promise, things will look up for you. You are a beautiful, strong, smart and independent young woman Leah. Don't let anyone ever tell you otherwise. I know you'll find the right man soon enough. As a piece of advice from me, don't be bitter towards those who have hurt you. Learn to forgive and forget, move on because there are just some things that aren't worth being bitter over." I tried telling her.

"Thank you for that. But how could you…?" Leah started before breaking down.

"Don't worry about how I know. Just know that things will work out for you. You're like a sister to me now Leah. I know we don't know each other, but I know we will become very close. I will always love you like a sister. I will be here for you to talk to, ok?" I told her.

Leah finally broke down, not being able to hold it in any more. She hugged me again and I hugged her back. I wanted to protect this young girl's heart. Even though we barely knew each other, I felt the need to help her get past her problems. We walked back to the house keeping our arms linked together. We smiled and laughed as we told each other some funny jokes and stories.

I didn't see everyone standing around looking at my picture at first. But when we made it to the porch, I seen the guys admiring my work. They looked at the detail and all wanted to know if I could do portraits of them. I told them yes, but not to tell Paul about this yet. They all nodded in agreement as Paul walked out onto the porch just then.

"What are they supposed to not be telling me?" Paul asked as he stretched, walking out to me.

"It's just a little surprise I have planned for you. It's a good surprise too!" I said as I closed my sketchbook. "Did you get enough rest babe?"

"Ok. Why can't I just know what the surprise is now? And I did get enough rest. I was surprised that you weren't there with me though." Paul said.

"It wouldn't be a surprise then. I just want to make sure that it's perfect for the man I love!" I said, placing my sketchbook down as he walked over hugging me playfully.

"Well, I'll have to just plan a surprise for you then, won't I?" He said before kissing me still in a playful mood.

"You are just too nice aren't you?" I asked being playful back as I ran a finger down his bare chest.

He let me go and looked down at me. I smiled giving him a small peck on the lips. I lingered a second then pulled away, leaving him wanting more. I could tell he was wanting me to come back for more and do it again.

"If you want more, then you'll have to catch me first!" I said as I ran away from him off the porch.

He let me get a head start running towards the trees. When I got about halfway there, he starts running after me. I start giggling as he starts catching up to me. I turn as he almost reaches me and start running to my right. He slips a little bit before getting up to run after me again. He finally catches up to me grabbing me up in his arms as I start running back towards the house. I loved his strong arms around me. He set my feet down on the ground but kept his arms around me. I turned smiling at him. I kissed him passionately on the lips as I lock my arms around his neck.

"I love you so much right now babe." Paul said.

"I love you too Paul! I couldn't imagine my life without you now." I said kissing him again.

"I really am going to plan something special for us soon" Paul said.

"You don't have to do that though. I am only doing my surprise for you out of passion." I told Paul.

"I know babe. But what kind of imprinter would I be if I didn't through in surprises?" He asked.

We walked back towards the others, hands locked together. They were all smiling at us still in our good moods. I walked over to my sketchbook and pencils I brought down from my things. I went to take them back upstairs before the guys started begging me to do sketches of them now.

I smiled and said I would start right now if they wanted to pose for me. Paul was a little jealous that I was drawing the other guys. I comforted him though by sitting on his lap, occasionally grinding on him making him groan, as I drew the pack. I drew them all one at a time and told them to choose their pose carefully as they would have to stay like that for a while. Paul loved that I was sitting on him two, but he really loved seeing me being passionate with my drawing. He loved to see me concentrate on anything really. He said I will sometimes wrinkle my forehead when I'm really concentrating on something. He thought it was the most adorable thing ever.

As I drew each of the pack members in their human forms, Paul would rub my back as I stretched from being in position for too long. Occasionally I would stand to stretch and adjust myself onto his lap. It only seem to turn him on more when I adjusted myself on his lap. As I felt him harden under me I would kiss him for a second to tease him before I would go back to drawing.

After finishing each sketch, I would show it to the guy who had posed. They seemed to enjoy the drawings I made. I don't think Paul had caught on to me drawing him yet. Everyone really liked their pictures I made them though. My hand was a little sore after the couple of hours I spent drawing the portraits. Paul started rubbing my hand, sensing it was hurting. He kissed it too.

I ran my fingers through his hair as I sat on his lap. That's when Sam suggested we come over to his place for lunch. Everyone agreed and Paul wanted me to come along. Everyone wanted me to come actually. I agreed to go with them, I was actually excited to see Emily. Everyone really liked her and she was very nice.

"Hey guys. Lunch is almost ready." Emily said as I walked in with the guys.

"It's nice to see you Emily! You and Sam have a lovely home. Is there anything I can do to help finish up lunch for these hungry boys?" I asked walking towards her.

"No I think I have everything done now. I could use some help passing out the bowls though." Emily said.

"Ok. I can help with that." I smiled at her.

"Great! Thank you!" She said back.

As Emily filled the bowls, I handed them to the guys in no particular order. She got mine and her bowls last. This I didn't mind, because I was going to sit over at the counter with Emily. I wanted to talk with her and get to know her a little bit better. The guys were concentrating on the game that was being played anyway. I sat talking to Emily about everything under the sun. We joked and laughed with each other like we were sisters.

I learned so much about Emily in the few short hours that we were there. Sam walked over to Emily, hugging her from behind. He whispered into her ear. That's when Emily said goodnight and went upstairs with Sam. The couple were engaged and decided to sleep for the night. I watched them go up the stairs together and never leave each other's side.

That's when I felt Paul grab my waist and spin me around to face him. He leaned in to kiss me. It was short and sweet. I loved feeling his hot lips press against me. I yawned and stretched as he kept a hold on my waist. He smiled at me, picking me up to pack me back to his place. I told him I could walk, so he set me down. We walked slowly through the cool night air back to his house.

When we got there, we found the house completely empty. There was not a single soul here but Paul and myself. Paul grabbed my hips from behind and started kissing me on the neck, his hot lips leaving little red places as he moved around. I moved my head as he moved around my neck.

"My parents are out for the weekend. They told me this earlier, said we could have the house to ourselves for the weekend." Paul said through the kisses he placed on my neck.

"Paul? Are you sure we should do this? I mean I love you, but we've only known each other a few short days." I asked with hesitation in my voice.

"I'm not going to push you princess, but I would love to just be alone with you though." He said continuing to kiss my neck.

I turned in his grip on me. I know I purposefully teased him a little bit earlier, but I didn't know if I was ready for this. He kept kissing my neck for another minute before moving to my lips. I wrapped my arms around his neck, as I wanted to keep my hold on him. He rubbed his hands up and down my back. Then I could feel him breathing on my ear, then he ran his lips up and down my neck. I started breathing deeply then, finally giving in to my sweet Paul. I dreamed of this night for so long. I was ready for him to take me upstairs, to take my virginity.

I kissed him, taking off his shirt before he packed me upstairs. He stood me up continuing to kiss me as he took my shirt and bra off. I slowly undid his pants as he did the same to my shorts. I heard him push his pants and underwear down as his belt hit the floor. I pushed my shorts and underwear down as he grabbed me lifting me up so I could wrap my body to his. He laid us down on the bed, as we explored each other's naked bodies. We knew there was no turning back now.

He kissed his way down my neck, going over my breasts, over my abdomen and finally reached my woman parts. He stayed there longer kissing me. It made me lose my breath a little bit. He chuckled and stayed down there even longer. He took his mouth and placed it over my woman parts. He stuck his tongue in and licked me a little bit making me start to whimper. He enjoyed teasing me a little too well, making me whimper like I did.

"Daddy, please don't tease me. I know I did earlier, but it was purely by accident." I begged.

"Ok princess. I won't and I love that you just called me daddy. But don't tell me it was all an accident earlier." Paul said.

I loved hearing his voice. I could feel him trying to find my entrance. As soon as he found it, he kissed me and started pushing his large and long erection into me gently. He was gentle at first, then as I got used to him being inside me he thrusted and went fairly quick. He still gave me time to feel his movements though. I let out moans and groans as he kissed my breasts, licked and sucked on my nipples, and thrusted inside me. Then he placed his hand right where my pelvic bone was and placed a little pressure on it before thrusting in again. When he thrusted in while applying pressure, I screamed out 'Paul! Oh Paul!' This seemed to make him happy, as he kept doing it for a few minutes before we both climaxed. I felt my first orgasm and his inside me. They came perfectly in sync with each other.

It was absolutely wonderful. I didn't want this night to end. I was feeling pure ecstasy as we came down off our highs. He laid his hot, naked body down next to mine. I traced his muscles as I lay there staring at him. He traced his fingers around my breasts and on my face too. I looked deep into my lover's eyes. I knew he'd be the man to take my virginity and marry me. Although the second hasn't happened yet, I didn't really care. I knew he loved me and that's all that matters right now.

"Paul, that was amazing! I couldn't have imagined it being any better than that." I said still looking at him.

"I know Brittlyn. It was just as amazing for me. I never knew that something could be that pleasant. Thank you for being so willing. I know it must've been hard for you." Paul said.

"It was at first, but something just… felt right. I knew you wouldn't do this and just break my heart afterward. I love you so much Paul Lahote. I never want to be away from you if I can help it." I said right before kissing him again.

He wrapped me in his arms for a second before getting up. He got a warm washcloth to wipe my woman hood off. I got up myself so I could find a comfy pair of underwear to put on. Paul threw me a flannel shirt of his to put on over myself. As soon as I put my stuff on, I brushed my teeth. I went back to Paul's room and laid down in his bed. I felt very tired after the wonderful sex I just had with Paul.

Paul joined me in bed with just a pair of his boxers on. I curled up to him and let his heat keep me warm. Paul didn't think that'd be enough, so he covered me up with the blankets. I kept my arms around him and my face nuzzled into his chest. He let his head rest on the pillow above mine and placed his arm over me protectively, pulling me closer to his hot body.

"I love you." I whispered to Paul.

"I love you too." He whispered back before we both fell into a deep sleep.

During the night, I started to have another nightmare. I dreamt that Paul was in his wolf form. We weren't far from Emily and Sam's place. There Paul was growling at a vampire. I didn't know this vampire, but she looked terrifyingly strong. Her eyes glared at me past Paul. Paul growled even louder, ready to pounce if she tried to attack.

Suddenly the red headed vampire pounced. She looked to be going over Paul, but really went to land on his back. I screamed for her to let him go. She seen how I was reacting to her having her hands on my imprinter. She smiled at me deviously, holding onto Paul's throat even tighter. I kept screaming at her to let him go. She finally had enough and snapped his neck. Paul went limp immediately.

I woke up screaming Paul's name for real this time as I sat straight up in bed. I realized that it was day time. I was freaked out when he wasn't in bed beside me. I saw the note on his side of the bed. He had went out to see the pack for a little bit. I got up to go wipe my sweaty face off. I soon realized how sore I felt from last night. I was feeling tense after the dream too. I decided to get some clothes and hop into the shower. I cleaned myself up and got my muscle's to relax a little bit.

I walked downstairs to see if Paul had returned. He still wasn't home. I didn't feel like making a big breakfast, so I settled for an orange. I sat at the counter dressed in a pair of my shorts and one of Paul's button up flannel shirts. I stared off into space, mindlessly going upstairs to get my sketchbook and pencils to finish Paul's picture. I also brought down my iPod and headphones to listen to music while I concentrated very hard on getting this finished today.

When it was finally done, I looked to see what time it was. It was only nine. Paul still wasn't back and I was getting more anxious by the second. I didn't know where he was or how long he'd been gone. He said he went to meet the pack in his note, but what could be keeping him this long. My chest started to tighten and my breathing became shorter and shorter. I felt like I was going into an anxiety attack or something.

My chest started hurting severely at that point. I was hyperventilating at the thought of Paul being gone so long. I'd been up since seven and it was getting harder to breath. I had to crawl my way outside. I wasn't strong enough to physically stand to walk right now. I thought that I was actually going to die right now.

The pain starting to become unbearable, my breathing becoming shorter by the second, my chest getting even tighter and being sore from last night was making me scrunch up into a ball. My heart felt like it was going to come through my chest. I put my headphones on, trying to find a song that would help me calm down.

I stayed curled up in my ball in the corner of the porch. I finally found a song that helped me to calm down a little bit. I put it on repeat and shut my eyes. In a matter of seconds I felt my body go limp. Then I blacked out and didn't remember a thing after that. Then I woke up in Paul's bed again. I felt Paul's warm hand rubbing on mine. I looked over at him, smiling as I saw his beautiful face.

"Paul…" I managed to say weakly.

"Brittlyn!" Paul said excitedly upon seeing me awake. He climbed into bed beside me pulling my weak body next to his warm body.

"What time is it?" I asked looking at my phone. "I've been asleep for twenty four hours?!"

"Yeah. I found you on the porch completely knocked out. I tried waking you up, but you weren't responding. I called Sam and asked him to get help and send it here fast. I was so worried about you. I thought I was going to lose you. I was scared that you were going to leave me. Carlisle said that you had an anxiety attack. He said your body needed time to rest and heal. What I don't understand is why you had the anxiety attack. What happened yesterday?" Paul asked with a concerned look on his face.

"I was worried about you. I didn't know what happened to you. It seemed like you were gone for a really long time. Plus, I had a nightmare that you were killed by a vampire. I woke up screaming for you. Then I just got to really thinking about it and started making myself crazy over it. I'm sorry to have worried you." I explained while nuzzling my way closer to his body.

"It's ok baby. I'm not hurt and I could totally kick a vampire's ass if I needed to. I promise I am fine." Paul said hugging me.

"Good. I don't want my wolf man to have a single scratch on him." I kissed his chest lightly. "Hey, did you happen to bring my sketch book and other stuff up here? I have something I want to give you."

"Yeah. It's on your night stand. What could you possibly have to give me? You've been out like a light for the last 24 hours." Paul asked clearly confused.

I giggled at his confusion. I sat myself up in bed, reaching over to get my sketchbook. I turned to the page where I made the colorful, yet life like, creation of my imprinter. I showed it to him, handing him the book. He sat up taking the book looking at the picture I drew of him. He was laying on his left side with his left arm under his head, eyes closed and no shirt on. I told him it was perfect for me to practice drawing him.

"Wow. You actually drew this?" Paul asked looking at me stunned.

"Yes. I even colored it in, getting the colors as close as I could to match how you actually look. Do you like it?" I asked really wanting an honest answer.

"I love this so much! It is perfect. I love how you did it when I was asleep. By the way, Carlisle said he was going to come by and check on you again today. He wanted to make sure that you were ok after what happened yesterday." Paul said just as there was a knock at the door.

"Come in." We said in unison.

"Well good morning. It's nice to see our patient is finally awake. You look very well rested." Carlisle said.

"I am feeling better. Just a little weak I guess." I told the doctor.

"Well you should be ready to get up and around soon. I suggest that you try eating something first and build up your strength. I just wanted to come and check your vital signs today. May I?" He pointed to my wrist.

"Yeah, sure." I said, letting the cold man feel my pulse.

For a split second, he had a slightly concerned expression. He went back to smiling as I smiled at Paul. He let go of my wrist and had me do some deep breathing to make sure my lungs were ok. He seemed to think everything was fine. He said everything felt and sounded ok. I should be able to get out of bed by tomorrow morning. He asked Paul to come out into the hall for a minute. They discussed something that I couldn't hear.

Paul's mother brought breakfast up for the morning. I smiled at her and said thank you. The food she brought up looked delicious. It was a nice bowl of fruit and some fried eggs. I'm not sure why, but this sounded really good. I also had a glass of orange juice to drink. I could feel my strength coming back fairly quick.

I tried to get out of bed to take my stuff downstairs, but Paul was having none of that. I still had to use the bathroom though. I got up to go use the bathroom because I really had to pee. He let me do that on my own. I giggled as he lightly smacked my butt. I suddenly went into a blissful state. I was beginning to remember the sex that was had right in Paul's room. I went back in and snuggled under the covers.

Paul opened the window to let some fresh air in when he came back. I welcomed the fresh air that came in through the window. Paul turned me to my back after he shut the door. He didn't quite lay himself on me, but gently pressed himself to me. I wrapped my arms around him as he came down and started kissing me. I liked feeling his warmth on my skin.

I decided it would be a good time to kiss his neck like he did mine so often. He let out a couple of sighs. I know he wanted to fool around some more, but knew that we couldn't. His parents were strict about that when they were home. Paul pulled me up to a sitting position with him. He looked very worried now.

"What is it Paul?" I asked wondering what was going through his head right now.

"I think we need to talk. When Carlisle was here, he told me something. He said there's this red headed vampire trying to hurt a human girl that's with one of his adopted children. She's preparing a newborn army that will be coming. The pack is going to fight with the Cullen's in a couple of months. For now, we are going to train with them. I want to be able to watch over you and train, but I can't do that unless you come with me. I talked to Sam about it and he wants all imprints to stay together and wants you all to come with us. There is no choice in that for you. Sam wants to protect you guys as much as possible." Paul almost commanded.

"Ok. I would love to watch you guys train anyway. I will bring my sketch book and my pencils so I can practice my drawing. Maybe I can get some inspiration from the training." I said almost gleefully.

"OK. Well Sam wants to start training tomorrow. We will have two months to practice and prepare for the fight. In the meantime, I have another question for you." Paul said smiling widely.

I looked at him with a puzzled look. This made him smile even more. He got off the bed and onto one knee. He pulled out a homemade wood box and opened it. "Brittlyn, Will you do me the honors of becoming Mrs. Paul Lahote?"

I blinked a couple of times. I felt the tears well up in my eyes. I nodded my head yes and let him put the ring on my finger. I felt so happy at what he just asked me. I hugged him before I kissed him. He picked me up and packed me downstairs with no trouble. He told his parents the good news. We went out into the sun and talked about it as we waited for the pack to show up. When they did, they were practically beaming at me.

"Hey. It's nice to see that you're ok Brittlyn. We all got really worried about you." Sam said as they all came up the porch steps.

"I am too. Although this knucklehead still won't let me walk because of doctors' orders." I said rolling my eyes at Paul. "Plus Paul and I have some amazing news. Why don't you tell them babe."

"Brittlyn and I are engaged you guys." Paul said.

"That's great!" Emily said with glee. She came to give me a hug. I hugged her back. She sat down beside me and told all the boys to go do something in the yard so we could talk. She offered for Leah to come join us. Leah seemed more than happy to join us for the discussion. We sat and talked about the last couple of days. I told them about everything. I tried being a little more quiet about the sex part so Paul's parents wouldn't hear. The girls were very giddy when I told them about that. I really hoped the guys didn't hear me, but they probably already seen it in Paul's mind when he was in wolf form.

Over the next month the pack started training with the Cullen's. I got to hang out and watch, while also getting to draw wolves and vampires. I also got married to Paul and we didn't have a honeymoon per say, but we managed to move into our own new little home. It was very fun to be carried bridal style over the threshold of our new home.

One morning we went to meet the vampires for training. I helped Emily prepare enough food that it literally filled two decent sized picnic baskets. I was eating breakfast out of one, when I started feeling sick. I quickly got up and ran over into the woods and vomited next to a tree. I felt a little better when I finished. I felt Emily put her hand on my shoulder.

"Is everything ok? You ran out of there pretty quickly." Emily looked at me concerned.

"Yeah. I think I might be getting some kind of bug. I've not been feeling to well the last couple of days. I wonder if I could convince Sam and Paul to let me go home for some rest." I told Emily.

"I think that would be a good idea. I think it might be a good idea to have Carlisle come with us to give you a checkup. He may know what the exact problem is. Go wait in the car and I will explain everything, ok?" Emily said comforting me.

I nodded. I walked over to the car that Emily and I came in. I buckled up and felt very flushed. In a couple minutes, Carlisle and Emily were in the car. Carlisle drove us to his place. This was my first time ever going to his place. When we got there, Carlisle showed us the way into his home office. He had all kinds of equipment to use. He had me put a dressing gown on, which Paul wouldn't like if he were here instead of Emily, and sit on the table.

"I need to ask a couple of questions ok? These are all routine and will help me to identify the problem easier." Carlisle began.

"OK. Thanks Carlisle. I appreciate you taking the time to do this. Anything you need to know, I will answer the best I can." I said.

"When did you first start feeling sick?"

"2, maybe 3, days ago."

"Have you had any aches or pains?"

"Nothing that couldn't be fixed with a heating pad or hot towel."

"When is the last time you had your period?"

I scrunched up my nose and forehead. When was the last time I had it? I thought about this a minute, doing my period math. When I thought about it, I didn't think it was possible. I was late.

"I'm late…" I said looking to Carlisle. "I'm a month late."

"You're sure?" He asked.

"Yes. Come to think of it, Paul and I only had sex once and that was about a month ago." I said absolutely positive.

Carlisle had me to lay back so he could check to see for himself. He did what he had to do, me blushing as usual when he did check. When he was done, he told me the news. Emily looked at me, giving me the biggest hug ever. I started feeling tears well up in my eyes. Emily drove me home. I went inside after telling her to go back with the others. Carlisle left after the appointment, promising not to tell anyone what we had found out.

Emily drove off to join the others when I made it inside safely. I went upstairs and started crying. I was scared to death at what Paul would think. I found out I was pregnant with my husband's child. We never discussed having children. I always assumed he wouldn't want any. I didn't know I wanted any until I found out I was pregnant. I thought over whether or not I should tell him today or not. I knew he would find out about it sooner or later. I hadn't really gained enough weight for anyone to notice, but I did notice my stomach poked out a little bit. But it was hardly noticeable. After a few hours I decided to tell Paul the news. I was going to keep the baby and take care of it with or without his help.

I heard Paul walk in. He was yelling for me from downstairs. I walked down to meet him not wanting him to pick me up. I looked down as I came to meet him. He could tell I wasn't in a mood to joke and was worried about me again. He came over and grabbed my waist. He stopped to make me look at him, giving me a questioning look.

"We need to talk Paul. There is something important I need to tell you." I started explaining.

"Oh God! You're leaving me aren't you?" He asked looking terrified.

"No babe. But you have to know, I'm doing this with or without you. I'd prefer to do it with you because leaving you now would probably kill me. Are you ready to hear the news?" I asked. He nodded understanding my serious tone. "Honey, I'm a month pregnant."

He looked at me, then looked to my stomach. He put his ear to my stomach to listen. He brought it back up smiling at me. He put his hands on my stomach smiling still. He seemed so pleased to be getting a baby. He didn't say a word for a few minutes. I was starting to get really anxious. He felt that I was wanting him to speak.

"Babe this is wonderful. Why didn't you have Carlisle send me here after he got back? I didn't realize and it was worrying me not knowing what was going on. Sam let me come back from training early to check on you. I wanted to make sure that my love was ok." Paul told me.

I sat there placing my hands on my stomach. "I'm so happy that you want this child. I was so worried that you wouldn't want him. I was so scared that you'd want to leave me after we've only been together for a month and a half."

"Of course not! I'm offended that you'd even begin to think something like that. I would never do a single thing like that. I love you too much! I want to be with you through everything. I'll be the first to admit, I am a bit of a hot head but it doesn't make me ever not love you." Paul explained. "Plus, it's going to be a she not a he. I will love her like I do you, because she will look exactly like you."

"How in the hell do you know it'll be a girl?" I asked him.

"I don't. I'm just guessing that it'll be a girl." Paul said hugging me tenderly.

I kept a tight hold on him. I suggested we go back so he can train some more. He was reluctant at first, but went anyway as I pulled him outside. I watched him strip his clothes off so he could phase. I grabbed his clothes, putting them in a backpack, and rode on his back to the training area. Jasper, one of the vampires who knew everything about newborns, was teaching and training everyone about what the best fighting techniques are.

When we got there, Paul laid down so I could get off his back. When I hopped off, Paul stood up. He was called over to Jasper to start his practice. I watched with a lot of fear. I was so afraid that Paul would get hurt. I knew that none of the Cullen's would hurt him on purpose, but I still worried about the father of our unborn child. One of the other vampires came up to me with Carlisle. Carlisle introduced him as Edward.

"I think Edward has a favor to ask you." Carlisle said.

Paul growled and was tackled by Jasper. After he was tackled I went to run after him. Edward grabbed my arm and said he was fine. I was still scared for him though. Paul got up and started growling at Edward. He crouched snarling his teeth.

I broke free of his grip and ran over to Paul. I just started to grab around his snout when he growled at me. It made me jump back for a second a little afraid. I went and just grabbed around his face again. I placed our foreheads together. I kissed him on his wolf nose and looked into his eyes. I gave him a look saying I was ok. He looked down ashamed that he growled. Edward nodded his head, accepting the apology Paul had thought.

"Paul you need to concentrate baby. I will be fine. They just needed to ask a favor. And you need to pay attention to Jasper ok?" I told him, giving him a stern look.

He nodded at me. I went back over to Carlisle and Edward. "Anyway, I was wondering if we could bring Bella to stay with you and the other imprints. I feel like if she were with you guys then she'd be safer." Edward explained.

I thought about what I should say. I knew Edward could hear what I was thinking. "Let me talk to the pack first. I may be able to convince them to let her stay with us. I know Paul will never be for the idea completely considering everything I just found out today."

At some point the wolves had went into the woods transforming back to their human shape. All the guys had their tight shirts, which showed off their muscles. Paul came and put his right arm around me protectively. I loved it when he was protective over me. But this wasn't the right time for him to start getting defensive though.

"I don't want her scent leading to wear my wife is going to be! That would be putting her and the other imprints into danger!" Paul said getting angrier by the second.

"We can't bring Bella with us. We need all the help we can get. Plus she hasn't been to the reservation in weeks." Edward shot back. You could see him getting angry.

"I said I don't want her around my wife!" Paul started shaking really badly.

I squeezed his hand as hard as I could. I didn't want him to start a fight that would possibly get him killed. He didn't seem to be paying any attention to me at this point. I knew he was already too far gone. I let go of his hand as his arm came off my waist. I took a few steps back before Paul changed.

I started thinking about him trying to take on Edward. My mind was going crazy imagining how he was going to die right now. I started to feel my chest tighten up, my breathing started shortening. I tried to calm down because this was not going to be good for me in this condition. I couldn't seem to calm down and it only got worse as I was starting to get embarrassed.

I ran off into the woods, before even attempting to stop. Running was not a good idea right now. My breathing had gotten shallower and my chest tightened even more. I had to sit down before my legs gave out. Paul ran up to me with Carlisle and Jasper close behind. I could feel myself starting to calm down. I remembered someone telling me Jasper could manipulate and feel the emotions of others. I mouthed a thank you toward him. Carlisle checked my pulse as Paul stood me up and kept his arm around me. Carlisle asked if he could put his ear to my stomach. Paul nodded and Carlisle listened for some sign the baby was ok.

"You should be fine. But you need to remain calm since you're pregnant. We don't want to put baby in any danger. I meant to ask earlier, is there a doctor or someone on the Quileute land that can be called upon from time to time? Just so they can help do checkups with Brittlyn and the baby." Carlisle said to us.

"Yeah. We'll give Sue a call when we get back. Speaking of which, why don't we tell the guys about the good news?" Paul said smiling down at me.

I nodded still dealing with my chest being sore after another bad anxiety attack. We slowly walked back to where the others were. Everyone went silent as I stepped out with Paul. I looked around blushing as I was stared at. Paul seen me blush and pulled me closer to his side. I loved feeling him so close to me.

"Hey. Brittlyn and I have some really good news. Babe why don't you tell them?" Paul started.

"What is it?" Seth asked.

"I hope it's something good." Jared said quietly.

"Well, I just found out this morning. Thanks to Carlisle for taking a look at me we figured out why I've been so sick lately. I'm a month pregnant!" I said excitedly.

"That's great! Congratulations you guys!" Sam said hugging us both.

Everyone had said their congratulations and hugged us. I could see Edward looking at Bella. He was very concerned about her getting hurt or being followed next month. Suddenly something came to mind. Edward looked at me in surprise, as if my plan would work.

"Sam, Carlisle, Edward, Paul? Can I talk with you guys alone for a minute? Alone?" I asked.

They all nodded and we walked far enough away so the others wouldn't hear us. They split off into their groups to talk. As I stopped, so did the others. Considering Edward seen in my head, he was smiling at my solution to things. The others looked at me questioningly, wanting to know why I had called the meeting.

"I have an idea. I think it will work, but we need to try it first and see. Sam and Paul, I need you to be open minded about this." I stated before going on. They nodded their heads. "I know how crazy this will sound, but Bella should come stay with the girls while you guys are off fighting. I know it's a risk, but I know a way around it though, so that Bella can't and won't be tracked onto the reservation."

"Are you crazy babe? She'll put you and the others in more danger than you can imagine!" Paul yelled out.

"He's right Brittlyn. I don't want to put you guys in any danger." Sam agreed with Paul.

"I know but hear me out. I think if we can get Jacob to pack Bella down from the clearing, then he could mask her scent. The last place any of the newborns would smell her would be there. I know this is ridiculous and I have no idea if it'll actually work. But if it does, then we won't be in any real danger. Bella can be taken to the border when the fights done and someone can meet Jacob there to pick her up." I tried explaining.

Everyone stared at me in surprise for a second. They took in what I just told them and looked to each other. They started talking with each other very quietly. I couldn't tell if they'd actually go with it or not. Finally, they turned looking at me with a smile. I knew they liked the plan and would at least give it a try.

We walked back to join everyone. They all gathered around Carlisle and Sam. This seemed appropriate considering they were like the leaders of their own groups. They tried explaining my idea to the others. They all took it in, then decided to give it a try. Jacob picked Bella up and ran with her through the forest, making a big circle and coming back to us. That's when Jasper, Emmett, Jared and Quil followed the scent Jacob had left. They said the only thing they could smell was Jacob. We knew my plan would work.

Another month of training had passed, finally coming to the day of the fight. All of the imprints were together. We were waiting for Jacob to come down off the mountain with Bella. Moments later, he came in with her. He stood her on the ground so she could come and join us imprints. We all said our hellos and gave her a hug. Jacob went outside before turning into his wolf form. He ran off toward the mountain to help with the fight.

The morning was going to be hell without Paul. We all felt the same way. The good thing was I got to spend more time with Emily. She was like the sister I'd never had. I loved spending time with her. As the morning went on, I helped her to cook and clean everything up. The day was slowly moving on, making me more anxious with every passing second.

Luckily Emily always knew how to get me distracted. She had handed me my sketchbook and pencils at noon. She told me to draw what I was feeling. I grabbed my headphones and iPod and went to the porch. I put my headphones on and turned my playlist on repeat and shuffle. I was only half listening to the music I turned on. Most of my concentration had went into drawing Paul from memory. I remembered every little detail of him, drawing him in different stances. I also drew him in his wolf form, laying in the grass with our child. Our son. It made me smile.

I took my headphones off, finally needing a break. I stood up to stretch and put my hands on my stomach. I loved that I was finally starting to get a little bit of a belly bump. That's when I noticed something was standing in the woods. There was something that looked like a fiery red color. It wasn't natural and made me feel off. I knew something was wrong with what I was seeing. It moved out of the woods slightly, but in a quick movement though. That's when I realized what I was seeing was the evil female vampire known as Victoria.

I knew it wasn't possible that she traced Bella here. Her scent was too covered up by Jacob's. Maybe she seen Edward and knew that she had to be somewhere else. She must've seen her on the reservation and came to check on her. I casually walked inside, I would walk back out with a drink and snack of some kind.

"Guys, you need to hide Bella now! She's outside next to the lining of the woods. She can't know that Bella's here. If she asks I will tell her I haven't seen her or something." I said in a hushed tone quickly.

They all nodded their heads. I went back out with a glass of water and an apple to eat on. I sat down where I was before, looking through my sketchbook. Victoria slowly, and casually, walked towards Emily's house where I was sitting. I knew she'd ask if I had seen Bella and I would need to lie to her. I just wasn't sure how I would lie yet.

"Hi! Excuse me miss. My name's Victoria. Might I ask you a couple of questions?" She asked me.

"Hi it's nice to meet you! My name is Brittlyn! May I offer you some water or fruit? I would be more than happy to help if I can." I stood slowly going down the steps. I tried to act like this was normal and kept my cool.

"I'm not too hungry or thirsty right now. Thanks though! I was wondering if you happened to know of a girl named Bella Swan?" She came right out and said.

"I did know a Bella Swan, but I haven't seen her in months though. After she had hurt my husband's best friend, she just stopped coming around. I think she must've moved or something." I lied as coolly as I could.

"Oh what a shame. Too bad she's not inside the house. Would it be alright if I came in for a minute?" She flat out asked.

"I would let you come in, but this isn't even my house. I'm here to see my friend. Our husbands are at work and we spend time together like this all the time. Is there anything else you needed?" I asked, hoping she'd finally go away.

"Actually, I think I will take you up on that drink. I am getting a little… thirsty." She smiled wickedly, crouching down to pounce.

I backed up a couple steps, before realizing that was a wrong move to make. Emily came out with her hands behind her back playfully. She smiled at Victoria, knowing exactly who she is. She excitedly walked up beside me, before I felt her take my hand. I felt her have something in her hand as she grabbed mine. It was a lighter and I was confused as to why she was handing it to me. I suddenly remembered that vampires don't like fire. It's one of the few things that can actually kill them.

"Hi. My name's Emily. Is everything ok out here?" Emily asked Victoria and myself with a smile.

"Everything's just fine. Thanks for asking! I was just talking to your friend here about a girl I'm looking for. Would you happen to know where a Bella Swan is?" Victoria asked Emily.

"I actually just got off the phone with her. I believe she's with Edward on vacation isn't she Brittlyn?" Emily turned looking at me.

"You know I'm not sure. She might be. All I know is Paul is mad at her for breaking Jacob's heart. I haven't really spoken to her sense then." I said.

"Hey why don't you ask this young lady what she thinks of your drawings of Paul? I think they look wonderful. You wouldn't mind to look at them real quick before you go would you?" Emily asked Victoria without using her name once, acting like she didn't know it.

"I'd love to look at them. I don't meet many people with an artistic skill." Victoria answered as she followed us onto the porch. She stood close to the steps.

I grabbed my sketchbook and turned to where the pictures of Paul start. I show her each one, making sure she sees every detail. I hope she could be stalled long enough for Paul and Sam to get here at least. Anyone that could come would be just as good, because of safety in numbers. Victoria was admiring the drawings I had made of my wonderful husband. That's when three big wolves showed up. It was Sam, Jared and Quil. Seth and Leah joined moments later.

Victoria crouched and growled at her enemies. She seen she was out numbered, but she smirked at the thought of fighting these wolves, thinking that it'd be easy. She lunged at the weakest looking one first. That probably would've been Seth because he was smaller than the others. She threw him against a tree, then as the others attacked she managed to knock them off herself. Suddenly Sam jumped to bite Victoria. She caught him in a grip that could kill him if she moved her hands right. Emily started screaming out to Sam. This made Victoria smile.

"Well, well, well. Looks like someone has an imprint. I wonder what you'd do to save your precious loved one. What will I do before letting him go?" She smirked.

"Please! Please don't hurt Sam! I love him and would die without him!" Emily started breaking down and stepped a little closer.

"WHERE IS SHE?!" Victoria shouted.

Before Emily could answer, I cut my arm and let the blood start pouring out. This seemed to distract Victoria, causing her to let Sam go. Emily wanted to run over to him, but knew not to move. Victoria was distracted by the scent of my blood. I did this because I remembered the legends that we heard one night last month around the bonfire.

I thought about Paul, hoping and praying he was still alive. If he wasn't, then making sure this red headed bitch died would be good. I knew if anything happened to Paul up on the mountain, Victoria was the one to blame. I wanted her to die just as much as everyone else. As Victoria was distracted, all the wolves lunged at her. They all grabbed a part of her only to rip her apart. As soon as they had, they dropped whatever limb they were holding. I walked over to each body part, lighting them on fire.

I was happy that she was dead now, but it didn't bring Paul back. I looked over to Sam and the others who changed back and were all dressed now. I looked to Sam and felt the tears well up in my eyes. He knew why, only coming over and holding onto me. He looked at my arm and back up to meet my eyes.

"Thank you for saving me. I could've been killed. Even though I'm not your imprint, you still saved my life. I appreciate that you were so considerate." Sam said.

"You're welcome Sam. I know Emily would've done the same for me if she needed too. I know that losing someone you love is never something you want to think about. Where are Jake and Paul at?" I asked, desperately needing to know.

"Paul is with Jake over at Billy's place. Jake was hurt pretty badly. Carlisle can stitch you up when he's done with Jake." Sam said, not even mentioning Paul's name.

He must've been trying to protect me from knowing the truth. I didn't want or need to be protected from this. I just needed to know that he had a quick and painless death. I could feel the tears in my eyes spill over. Sam led me over to Jake's place, his free arm now around his fiancé. I looked down the whole way over. The whole pack came with us to see Jake.

Carlisle just finished up with him as we got there. Carlisle was over to me in a second when he smelled my blood. He had me fixed up in a jiffy. The pain didn't even bother me at all. Carlisle said something to me, but I didn't catch what it was. I was zoned out to much, thinking about my lost love. I couldn't even begin to comprehend reality without him. That's when I felt someone's hot breath on my ear as they spoke into it and wrapped their arms around me.

"Babe?" Paul said.

I turned in his arms so I could hug and kiss him nonstop. "I thought I lost you, you crazy fool! Where have you been?!"

"I'm sorry, but I had to make sure that Jacob got here ok. He got pretty badly hurt up on the mountain. Sorry I should have got in touch with you. What happened to your arm?" He asked looking down at it.

"I cut it to save Sam from being killed. I wanted him to be ok for Emily. I knew she would've done the same thing for me if I needed it. Please don't be mad." I said nuzzling into his warm bare chest.

He held me tightly. He picked me up like the wife I was and packed me home. I loved how strong this man was. He was amazing in so many ways. He laid me on the bed, kissing me. He lifted my shirt up and placed his ear to my stomach. He loved to hear the baby inside me. I don't know what he could have heard but he smiled though. I patted the open bed beside me. He climbed up laying down on his back.

I put myself on top of him. When I was positioned exactly right, I started grinding on him a little bit. I felt him starting to get excited under me. He knew that he couldn't make a move on me because of being pregnant. He grabbed my hips to stop them from moving. It would leave marks in the morning, but I didn't care. I loved having him bruise me a little bit every now and again.

I leaned forward and started kissing him. I wanted him to know how much he meant to me right now. I didn't even think about me being pleased at all. I just wanted him to be happy. He finally gave up, releasing his grip on my hips. I started grinding on him some more. He let out a few moans as I just kept going. When he was just about to ejaculate, I moved back. I unzipped his pants pulling them off and his underwear along with it. I wanted to make Paul feel like the man he was. So I decided to give him my lips around his erection.

He got up on his knees and I repositioned myself around him again. I could tell he wasn't wanting me to do this. I wanted to though, so I started licking him. Then I started sucking on him. I could tell he was pleased. I put my hands on his hips, helping him to start moving them. He finally gave in and gently thrust himself down my throat. I could feel him start to ejaculate and swallowed happily for this man. I couldn't imagine anything better than him feeling happy, pleased and like the man he needed to be.

When he was done, he pulled himself out of my mouth. He pulled me up to his face so I could look into his eyes. He was searching them for something. There was some unasked question. He kept looking for a second longer before asking what it was he needed to ask.

"Why are you doing all this sweetheart? I didn't want you to do that. I feel bad that you did it." Paul said.

"Because Paul. I love you. I was so happy to see that my man had come back unhurt from his battle. You are my big man, so I decided it was time that I made you feel like one. I wanted to do this because it was a good way for me to show you how much I care and listen to your needs. I wanted to make sure you were taken care of, like you do with me." I ranted.

"Well, now it's my turn to make you feel like the special woman I imprinted on." Paul smiled.

"What do you mean?" I asked.

He kissed me then. He started rubbing my back as he kissed along my jaw and neck. He knew how to get me turned on. He slowly unhooked my bra and slid it off with my shirt. I heard him mumble 'Sweet perfection' as he kissed his way down to my breasts. He gently laid me down on the pillow before taking of the shorts and panties I had on. He kissed his way down my stomach and to my crotch. My back arched a little and my breath hiked up a notch when he started kissing my princess parts.

I felt him open his mouth on my princess parts. His hot breath made me get a little wet, he could tell, letting out a little chuckle before even starting. He maneuvered his mouth on my princess parts in a way so he could easily slip his tongue in. When he stuck his tongue in, I couldn't help but let out a breath of air. He moved his tongue around in ways that made me arch my back and bend my knees. He could feel the pleasure I was getting.

He moved his head away and replaced it with his nice warm fingers. He smiled at me, before slipping his fingers in he put his whole hand on my princess parts grabbing it. He said "This is mine for now princess. Do you understand?" He used his rough low toned voice which got me even more excited. I nodded. "Use your words princess or daddy will leave." He threatened in the same voice. "Yes daddy I understand. Please! Just go already!" I practically begged him.

I felt him slip his fingers in. He moved them around a little bit. I could feel his heat radiating inside me, which always made things like this even better. He put his thumb on my clit, moving around on it gently. The fingers that were inside me started moving. I helped by moving along with him. We kept going faster until I finally squirted all over his hand. It got all over his hand and a little on the bed.

I started noticing my breathing returning to normal. Paul returned with a warm and damp wash cloth. He took it and wiped me off as I same down off my high. He went and threw it in the hamper as I got up to get dressed. I put on my underwear first as usual, but Paul refused to let me wear a bra to bed tonight. He wanted me to wear one of his shirts without one on tonight. He seemed to think my breasts were perky enough without the help of a bra.

I felt differently about it. I still have trouble with Paul seeing me naked. I get very self-conscience about it. He has told me several times since we first slept together, that I will always be beautiful to him no matter what I looked like. He said I was just the perfect size. I wasn't underweight or overweight. I think he really liked the fact that I could easily be picked up and couldn't fight back against him on it.

We went back to bed after the long day we both had. We laid down, holding onto each other as we fell asleep. I woke up the next morning, feeling a little sick. Sue was supposed to come and do a checkup on me and the baby. Maybe I was feeling nervous and that's why I felt a little sick. It could still be morning sickness too. At 10 o'clock, Sue came in followed by everyone else. Thankfully, the house that Paul and I lived in had enough room to fit all the guys in.

"How's the patient today?" Sue asked over the guys talking.

"A little sick to be honest Sue. I don't think I've eaten anything weird that could've upset my stomach." I said feeling the nausea getting worse. "Could it still be morning sickness?"

"I wouldn't think so dear. Have you noticed any sensitivity to foods that you've eaten?" Sue asked.

At that moment Paul turned around with a frying pan that had my favorite scrambled eggs of his in it. He dished them out onto the plate. "Eat up babe! I made your favorite! My own special recipe for scrambled eggs."

I smiled picking up the fork to eat them, but when I looked down I felt my stomach turn. I took one more sniff before running in to the bathroom. I don't know why I would be getting sick because of the eggs. Normally I loved Paul's eggs. I could eat them any time he would make them. Suddenly they were making me get sick. I walked back in with everyone, Paul looking especially hurt and a tad concerned. I gave him an apologizing look before turning to Sue for answers.

"I see. It's just a little sensitivity right now. It will pass. Don't worry." Sue said comfortingly.

"I'm sorry Paul. You know I love your eggs, but I'm going to pass on them until I can get over this. Anyone else want dips on the eggs?" I asked the boys on the couch.

Jared jumped up to claim them. He came over and started eating them in the kitchen. Watching him eat them even made me feel sick. I ran to the bathroom to be sick again. I returned moments later when Jared had finished. Emily washed up the dishes for us so Paul could come with me and Sue upstairs for the rest of the exam. She did a routine checkup, making sure everything was fine. She said there should be no troubles and when the time comes, I should be able to have the baby right here.

"Thanks Sue! I'm happy you're able to do some of these checkups." I told her going back downstairs.

"No problem dear. I'm happy to help. I will be back again this time next month to do another checkup. If something comes up before then or you need me for anything, call or take her to the hospital." Sue said looking at Paul. He nodded.

Sue left and I sat down at the bar that was half in the kitchen, half in the dining room. Emily opened up some containers and placed the food inside onto a plate for me to eat. She had made muffins with fruits and nuts in it. They looked delicious, and hopefully I could keep these down. Paul came over with a glass of milk for me. I drank it while occasionally dipping pieces of the muffin in.

I felt a little chilly with the open window. Paul wrapped me in a blanket, then wrapped his arms around me. I felt him press his body against me, to give me as much heat as possible. After I was finished eating, I felt exhausted for some reason. With the blanket still around my shoulders, I turned around to Paul. I laid my head on his chest, bringing him in a little bit closer. I could fall asleep in his arms.

I looked up at my husband who was paying attention to the game on TV. I gave him a peck on his strong chin before laying my head back on his chest. I could feel him looking down at me. I knew he was smiling, he lifted my face up to meet his gaze. He gave me a kiss on the lips. I put my arms around him, laying my head back on his chest once again, and started rubbing his back. I listened to his deep even breathing for a few minutes as I closed my eyes.

I must've fell asleep. I woke up a couple hours later to snarling and growling. I shot straight up out of bed and ran downstairs. I went outside to see what was happening, but it was nothing to worry about though. The guys were in there wolf forms playing around as they usually did after practice. I sat down on the steps, watching them. Paul walked over to me in his wolf form and put one of his giant paws on my lap. I put my hand on his paw, rubbing it a little bit. He seemed to like it very well.

Paul looked over towards the others. I didn't know what was being said, but I knew some of the guys were giving Paul hell. He snarled at them for whatever it is that was said. Sam growled a warning at them all. I smirked because I know the guys were just trying to have fun but had made Paul mad and were getting yelled at by Sam.

Paul put his nose into my neck for a minute, then he licked me a couple of times. Then he smiled and I couldn't help but smile back. Even as a wolf, I could tell when he was smiling at me. He stood going back over with the guys in a line for a minute. Sam must have been giving them some kind of a lecture or something.

I stood up to go back inside for a moment. I got my iPod and headphones and went back outside. I turned my music on as the guys were fighting or practicing or whatever you want to call it. I leaned against the railing on the porch watching the guys. Without even realizing it I started to sing with one of my favorite songs. I started dancing too. I was very passionate about it. I wasn't even paying attention to the guys watching me intently.

When I finished, I turned toward them. I realized I had an audience watching me perform. Instead of feeling embarrassed, I took a bow. They all howled and jumped up and down. Paul walked to the bottom step, waiting for me to come down to him. We all knew if he tried walking up here, then he was going to have a porch to fix. I walked down to him, placing my head on his. I put my hands on his neck. I concentrated as much as I could on him, wishing I could tell him how much I wanted to kiss him right now.

He either felt the same way or I could really send my thoughts to my husband in his wolf form. Either way, he was back to being regular old Paul now. I loved him in this form better anyway. Mostly because we could understand each other and I could kiss him then. He was still naked in front of the other guys though. He told the guys to shut up as they all started howling. They all turned around for the moment so we could continue kissing. I told him to go back into his wolf form so they could finish with whatever it is they need to do.

"Sorry about Paul you guys. Especially you Leah. Sorry to you too Sam. The rest of you could seem to take a few notes from such a handsome man though." I said chuckling a little bit. They knew that I liked to tease them a little bit.

I walked back in where Emily was looking through a recipe book. I walked over next to her, looking in it with her. She asked If I'd like to help cook. I told her I'd love too. I insisted on doing it myself this time. I followed the recipe she picked out for spaghetti and meatballs. I even had a recipe for my own homemade meatballs. I did the whole meal myself. I had Emily go and get the pack for dinner. I tried reaching for the plates but couldn't quite reach. I put a stool next to the counter so I could climb up and reach the plates.

I got every last one we had. I was about to set the plates down when two strong hands lifted me down off the counter. I turned to see Paul smiling at me. He leaned down to kiss me on the head. He set the plates on the counter and told the guys to come and fill their plates up. I told them to stay and wanted Paul to set down with them. I served up the food for everyone, but allowed them to choose whatever they wanted to drink.

I sat at the bar eating the food I made. I watched over everyone else eating. Emily sat with Sam outside on the porch, eating their food together and being in love. I looked over at the guys who were watching soccer on TV. They were all yelling some kind of profanity at the TV. I couldn't help but chuckle. After I finished my food, I put my stuff in the sink and put the remaining food into tubberware and into the fridge. I started washing up the dishes. Everyone came and put their stuff in the sink to be washed now. They said their thank you's and went home.

Paul helped to dry the dishes and put them away. We were about to walk upstairs together when Sam came back. I wasn't entirely sure why he had, but my guess would be that it's Paul's turn to go and keep watch over the land with Sam. I looked to Paul and Sam with an unasked question, that I'm sure they had an answer to.

"Come on Paul. It's time to start patrolling at the borders." Sam commanded.

Paul looked down to me, then back up to Sam. "I'll be right there boss. I just need to do one thing first."

Sam nodded before walking out and changing into his wolf form. Paul picked me up to go upstairs. He stood me up beside the bed, handing me the shirt that's literally off his warm body. He wanted me to put it on while he was out. I took my clothes from today off. I also changed my underwear. Before I could put my new underwear on, Paul came over and popped my bra off. He turned me around and took a couple steps back.

He looked me up and down. I started to feel a little self-conscience as he stared at me. He walked over to me sensing that I was feeling this way. He grabbed my waist and kissed me. He kissed me from my lips down to my stomach, where our child was growing. I pulled his face up to mine so I could kiss him. He kissed me before watching me get my underwear on and throwing his shirt on over myself. He smiled, happily knowing I was always going to have his scent on me. Quite frankly, there is no one else I'd rather smell like than him. I went to bed when Paul left. I laid down to rest a peaceful rest for the night.

I woke up the next morning to see Paul still hadn't come home yet. I put on a pair of shorts under Paul's shirt that I was wearing, just in case any of the guys came over. I started to make breakfast. I made enough for the pack, myself and Emily, knowing that everyone would be really hungry. As I finished making breakfast and ate a couple pieces of bacon, Sam walked in through the door. I turned to look at him, only to see an expression I dreaded.

"Where is he Sam?" I asked knowing something was wrong.

"He was taken to Carlisle's place. Paul's been very badly hurt. He's not awake right now. Carlisle wanted me to come get you. Emily is already there waiting for you. We need to hurry so I will change back into a wolf so we can get there quickly." Sam explained.

He stepped outside taking his shorts and shirt off, as I went to get some extra clothes for Paul, knowing he'd probably need them. I went back downstairs and got on Sam's back so he could take us to the Cullen's house. I was starting to feel my chest tighten again with worry. We got to the Cullen's place in a matter of moments. I quickly jumped off Sam's back, running up the porch steps only to be met by Carlisle.

"What happened? Where is he? Is he going to be ok?" I started asking as I looked up at him. He came over to give me a hug but I took a step back.

"She wants to smell like him Carlisle. She likes his scent and is the only thing she wants to smell like." Edward heard this in my mind. I started crying as he said it.

"I understand. He's right in here. Follow me and I will show you where he's at. I'm certain he'll heal quickly. He hasn't woke up yet, and I wanted you to see him in case things would take a turn for the worse." I followed Carlisle into his office where Paul was lying unconscious.

Carlisle left me to be alone with Paul. I walked over to him only to find a chair next to his body. I wasn't ready to sit down yet. I had to just look at his beautiful features before I did. I ran my fingers over his hurt hand, which was healing to perfection by the second. I looked to his stomach where there was another wound healing nicely. I couldn't help but cry as I grabbed his hand. I leant down to give him a gentle kiss on the cheek.

"I love you baby! I am not going to leave your side. I will be right here when you wake up. I'm always going to be here for you." I whispered in a hushed tone to him.

I sat down in the chair next to where he was lying, still having his hand in mine. I couldn't help but find small lines and patterns to make as I traced his beautiful skin with my finger. Emily walked into the room now, holding some of my things from home. Esme walked in holding a tray of food for me as well. They didn't attempt to hug, assuming that Edward had told them about me wanting to smell like Paul.

"Thanks you guys. I really appreciate this." I said starting to tear up again.

"It's really no problem dear. Why don't you grab a bite to eat while you watch over Paul?" Esme said, handing me the food she made.

"I think I will. Thank you Mrs. Cullen. Thanks for bringing my stuff over Emily. You know what I like almost as well as Paul does." I said teasing her a little bit. "Where is Dr. Cullen at? I'd really like to talk to him right now."

"He's downstairs. We'll send him up as soon as he's done talking with Sam." Esme said.

I nodded giving a half smile. Emily and Esme walked out of the room together. They talked about something, although I didn't quite catch what it was. I sat back down in the chair, positioning myself very comfortably so I could start drawing as I waited for Carlisle. I opened up to the last blank page I had.

I started drawing Paul lying there. I got so lost in what I was doing, that I completely lost track of time. I was always so entranced when I drew Paul in either form. I loved making his perfect features as he would always pose for me. Some of the pictures were left in black and white, while others were colored in. When I finished drawing him, I felt the breeze of someone else moving in the room. I looked up to see Carlisle was there. How long had he been here? Did he watch me drawing my love?

Seeming to sense my unasked questions he answered. "I think your drawing skills are amazing. I watched you draw him for three hours. You really don't miss a single detail do you?"

"I try not to. I love Paul, so I try drawing him in either form as much as possible. He is a great man. I haven't shown him or anyone else the pictures that I've made of him. You're more than welcome to look at them though. There honestly not even that good." I said.

"I think you do a wonderful job with it. Sam also tells me you have a talent for singing and dancing when the music really moves you." Carlisle added.

I smiled before talking again. "Dr. Cullen? Thank you for being such a big help. I know there is the treaty between you guys, but I really appreciate that you have taken care of us. You are a very compassionate man."

"Thank you. I'm very passionate about helping people of all kinds. I don't give up on anyone because I know there are many ways to help them if I can." Carlisle said smiling.

I smiled back at him. "I'm sorry if I come off as rude. I just love Paul so much. I can't imagine what life would be like without him. I know this child will look like his father. He will be just as beautiful and just as protective over his love."

Carlisle looked at me as I rubbed my stomach. He didn't say another word. It was silent in the room and I enjoyed that Carlisle just stayed up there with me. I would occasionally get up to stretch. When I did, I'd go to feel Paul's hand or place my hand on his face. I still had Paul's shirt from last night on. I thought about the last couple of months. I thought about the wonderful night we had together and everything up until now.

Paul was always so charming and I found myself constantly in a smile around him. I knew he was temperamental, but when he was with me he was always calm. His breathing would slow down to how mine was and so wouldn't his heart rate when I would touch or talk to him. I pulled the chair closer to the make shift bed he was in. Paul stayed unconscious all night. I stayed awake with him, just in case he woke up and needed something.

Around sunrise he started to stir. I heard him starting to moan at first. Then he was getting to the point of trying to say something. Finally he was saying my name. He seemed to be panicked. Like I was being hurt or he was trying to find me. He was starting to shake a great deal. I grabbed onto his hand, trying to calm him down. He shot up when he felt me grab his hand. He looked around for a second, before seeing where he was.

"Brittlyn? Are you ok?" Paul asked.

"I'm fine Paul. You're the one that's not ok. You had me worried sick you son of a bitch! What the hell happened to you?" I said to him, giving him a hug.

"I was out patrolling with Sam, when some drunken asshole shot at me. I ran off and got myself caught in a bear trap, nearly getting killed by the drunk man chasing me. I remember running all the way here, before collapsing. That's all I remember. How long have I even been here anyway?" Paul asked.

"You've been here since yesterday. I came here with Sam. I was worried sick and found that you looked pretty bad. I stayed up to watch over you all night. Now that I know you're ok, there's something I need to do." I said planting a passionate kiss right to his lips.

He hugged me in tears. He was just as happy as I was to be back together. I kissed his neck as he held on to me. That's when I felt him unbuttoning his shirt that I was wearing. I had forgot to wear a bra under it, which was unusual for me when I went out places. After he unbuttoned the shirt, he tried lifting me onto his lap as he was sitting there. I felt bad he was trying to lift me while he was still healing a little bit.

I helped him out by climbing up and sitting there on his lap. He kissed on me a little bit before Carlisle had knocked at the door. I turned my head enough to see him standing there. He waited for me to get down off of Paul before walking closer. He knew Paul would get defensive if anyone but himself had seen my chest or anything. He often fought with the others in the pack over it. He helped me to button up the shirt I was wearing. I went to hop down, but Paul just turned me around and held me close to his side.

"I'm happy to see that you're doing better Paul. Your wife here was very worried about you. She even stayed up all night to watch over you. She didn't leave you for a second. She didn't even want anyone to touch her because she still had your scent on her. She was afraid of losing it. Just like she was afraid of losing you. She loves you and your child very much." Carlisle said. He didn't get to close until he was sure Paul was ok with it.

"I know, she told me. I love them too. So how long will it be before I can start phasing again?" Paul asked.

"Another day at least. Sam is on his way with Emily to pick you guys up. He's going to take you home. I told him that you should be ready to go by this time tomorrow. I just want to check you before you leave. Brittlyn, if you don't mind to give us some privacy while I do this. I don't want to expose the baby to the harmful effects of the x-ray machine." Carlisle explained.

I nodded going down stairs to wait on Sam and Emily. In a matter of a few minutes, Carlisle had finished with Paul. Paul looked like he was feeling even better as he walked downstairs. I smiled at my strong man as he came over with his shirt still undone. I loved seeing him with an open shirt like this. It somehow outlined his body perfectly. The shirt wasn't tight on him, but there wasn't so much extra that it looked baggy.

He put an arm around me as he stopped walking. I put my open arm around him as well. We both thanked Carlisle again for his kindness and help. I like it when Paul wasn't being hot headed around other people. He was only like that when I was present though. He said I help him to remember that everything is ok. I seemed to be in his thoughts constantly and that's what keeps him going through everything.

I have to admit that he was in my thoughts all day every day. I can't help but think about how we found each other and one day I became his imprint. When I think about that day, I remember looking into his eyes. I remember when our eyes locked with one another for a split second I could immediately start to feel this strong pull towards him.

I snapped back to reality when I heard Sam's car pull up. I kept my arm around Paul as we walked to Sam's vehicle. We thanked the Cullen's one last time and went on our way. Paul was in a very good mood on the way back. It made the ride more enjoyable as we all joked with each other.

Sam and Emily dropped us off at the house for the evening. I packed my stuff upstairs after helping Paul get upstairs. I knew he could handle it himself, but I just wanted to be sure he was ok. I put my things in the drawer in my nightstand. I did keep my sketchbook out though. I didn't look at it and as far as I knew Paul never touched it either. He didn't bother to ask me what I was drawing when I did use it. I knew he was curious, but he never seemed to be one to ask questions though.

He walked in from the bathroom and climbed into bed. He laid down on his back looking completely exhausted. I stared at him with his eyes closed. He looked very tired still and he was probably seconds away from sleep. I looked over at the wall, just staring at it with my hands on my stomach as if I were going to protect the baby from something. I could feel Paul adjusting to his right side, as he started to snore.

I turned the bed side lamp off after I showered and changed my clothes. Before going into a nice deep sleep myself, I kissed Paul's hot cheek and placed an arm around him. I felt Paul's hand go on mine. I adjusted myself to be closer to him, careful about not getting so tight to him that it'd hurt the baby. I fell asleep wishing it'd be a peaceful sleep, but was I about to have a terrible nightmare.

I dreamt that it was time for the baby to come. Paul hadn't shown up yet and I had no idea where he was. I was completely alone right now. I had felt the rush of water go down my legs as my water broke. Then I felt a contraction come on that was horrible. It had made me double over instantly at how terrible it was. I tried calling Sue but she wasn't picking up. I had another contraction that made me hurt.

After that contraction, I realized I needed Carlisle's help. I called him, hoping he'd pick up. The phone rang twice before he answered. I was about to answer him before I dropped my phone and started screaming in a horrendous pain. Carlisle must've heard it and hung up. My phone call was useless, on the next contraction I was forced to start pushing because the baby was not going to wait.

I was down on my hands and knees, trying to deliver my own baby. I didn't have any help, and I couldn't see what was going on. I was trying to deliver a baby with no experience. It hurt like hell and I was becoming very weak. Suddenly Carlisle was with me and had laid me on the bed on my back. He helped me to breath, then told me I had to push or the baby was going to die. I did as he said letting out screams, wishing Paul were here to help me through this.

In a matter of just a couple more minutes, Carlisle had helped me to deliver this baby. It was a little boy, and he looked like his father so much already. Carlisle laid the baby on my breasts, so I could hold him. Paul and I never discussed a name for the baby, so when asked what the name was I told Carlisle I wasn't sure yet. He smiled and said he'd come back when Paul was home and we talked about it.

Carlisle took the baby to clean him up, and was back soon so I could start breastfeeding the baby. When Carlisle helped me to start feeding the baby correctly, the little one couldn't stop. He was just like his dad being hungry all the time. The noises he made when being feed were too cute though. The baby stayed there for a while, getting the nutrients I could provide for him.

Carlisle left after he made sure I was going to be ok. Sam walked up stairs as I just looked at my son. Sam looked very upset about something. I wasn't entirely sure why he was upset, I just had a baby that was mine and Paul's. It was a time to be happy.

Sam told me Paul had run off three days ago when he was on patrol. He hadn't come back yet and none of the pack could hear his thoughts anymore. This was very alarming to me. I put the baby in his cradle that used to be Paul's when he was an infant. I started pacing the floor as Sam left. I didn't know what to do and I was worried. I couldn't just leave because I just had a baby. But I couldn't just stand around doing nothing either.

I started to hear growling sounds, I went to look out the window, but there wasn't a soul to be seen. I checked downstairs, but nothing was there either. I walked back upstairs to be with the baby. When I walked over to the door, there was a wolf standing there. It had deep, dark blue eyes and fur that was somehow even darker than Sam's when he was in his wolf form. It was just as big as Sam or any of the others in their wolf forms too.

Somehow, there was something frightening about this wolf. Also, there was some kind of mysteriousness that surrounded this wolf. I looked into the baby's crib, seeing he was gone. I looked back at the wolf. This was definitely his father's son alright. There was something off about the baby though. It wasn't normal for him to turning into something this large, this quick and this young.

The baby started growling at me in his wolf form. I stepped back slowly as he came towards me. He was very menacing in his wolf form. I back up into the wall, looking for the door. I walked slowly out the bedroom door as I was being watched. When I felt like I was out of his gaze, I started running for the door. I ran through the front door scanning the open area around the house. I saw Paul in his human form, walking towards the house looking angry. Suddenly I was knocked down by the wolf that was upstairs. He dug his paws into my back, his claws out and stuck through me.

I screamed out Paul's name waking up. I was a sweaty mess and my heart was pounding through my chest. I went to the bathroom to splash some water onto my face. I wiped my face off and looked in the mirror. I looked terrible, mostly because of my lack of sleep lately. My hair was a mess, I had dark circles under my eyes and I was feeling weak.

That's when Paul came in the house screaming my name. "Brittlyn! Brittlyn what's wrong?! Where are you?"

"I'm ok Paul. I'm in the bathroom." I hollered back at him.

He came dashing in to see me standing there, clutching at the sink. "Brittlyn, I'm calling Sue. We may need to get you to the hospital."

"Why would you do that? I'm not hurt, I'm just tired. I haven't slept too well lately." I explained to him.

"Brittlyn, you have a blood stain on your sleep shorts. We need to call Sue to come check on the baby." He said holding me by the arms.

I nodded in agreement, not even knowing I was bleeding. I was scared of losing the baby now. He pulled out his phone and called Sue. She said she would be over as soon as she could. I stood in the bathroom for a minute longer, before going to the bedroom. I saw where I had bled just a little. In a few short minutes, Sue was at the house. She came upstairs and saw how much I bled. She listened to my heart, then did some routine checks on the baby.

She said that everything was fine now. It was just a clot that had finally passed. We were relieved to know that the baby was in no danger. When Sue had left, I went to shower up and get my day started with Paul. I went and changed the sheets after showering and started a load of laundry for the day.

I saw my sketchbook was gone. I went downstairs to see Paul sitting on the porch railing with it. He was looking at each and every picture I had made. He was admiring the work I had done of him over the last couple of months. I hugged him from behind, placing my chin on his shoulder. He leaned his head over on mine still looking down at the pictures I drew.

"Why did I never notice you drawing these?" He asked.

"Because I'd draw them of you when you were distracted or busy with something. Sometimes I'd use my memory to draw the pictures of you. I'm sure you could tell from a few of the pictures already. Mostly, I did the pictures when you were sleeping or in when you were in your wolf form or even when you were with the pack in some way or another." I explained to him.

"These are amazing. You should offer to draw portraits of some of the families. Or even better, you should draw the legends that get told around the bonfires we have once a month." Paul suggested.

"That's actually a great idea Paul! In fact I'll be right back." I ran out into the yard before turning towards the Black's house.

I ran to where Billy and Jacob lived. I knew Jacob wouldn't be home, but that was ok. I was here to talk to Billy anyway. I knocked on the door to hear someone yell come in. I opened the door and walked in. Billy greeted me with one of his warm smiles. He asked if everything was ok or if someone was hurt. I told him everything was fine and needed to ask him a question. When I told him the idea that I had, he went crazy for the idea that I'd be able to draw and document the stories as an artist. He only asked that I not let the works out of my possession. I agreed to that and went home to get my things ready for the bonfire that night.

Later it was time for everyone to show up for the fire and it was time for one of the legends to be told. I listened closely to what Billy was saying. Making sure I got every detail just right as my hand went crazy drawing each scene on a new page of a new sketchbook. I'm happy to say I brought two sketchbooks, because by the time Billy was finished the first one was filled up from cover to cover.

When everyone was talking and moving around, I went over to show Billy what I had drawn. He loved that it was in black and white. He looked at each picture as if he were seeing the story for the first time. He was drawn into it so much, that when Sue had called his name he didn't even hear it. When he finished with it, he went around showing it to some of the other tribe elders.

I walked over to Paul who was looking very lonely without me. I sat on his lap so I could feel his warmth against my whole body. I nuzzled my way into his comfortable body. He placed his arms around me feeling how cold I was getting as a breeze came through. I looked up and kissed his chin. He looked down and kissed me on the forehead. I was about to wrap my arms around him when Sam walked over to us.

"Hey Brittlyn? I was wondering if you could do a favor for me. You can say no if you want, but I know it'd mean a lot to Emily." Sam started.

"If you're going to ask me to draw a picture of you two together, then I'll gladly do it! Emily is like a sister to me and you're like a big brother. I love you guys, so of course I'll do it!" I said grabbing my stuff to start drawing again.

I sat on Paul's lap as Sam went over with Emily and sat down with her. I could see them perfectly from where I was sitting. Paul watched me draw them in great detail. As I was drawing, I started to sing without realizing it. I sometimes did this when I felt very in touch with my creative side. I would look up and back down to my page adding and taking away details as needed. I kept up my singing and soon noticed that others were listening to me. I was happy that everyone was enjoying my hobbies.

When I finished, I took the picture over to my friends and gave it to them. They seemed very pleased with what I had done. Emily stood up and hugged me. Billy came over to me with the sketchbook he was looking at. He handed it back smiling to me.

"Every single one of the elders loved the work you did. In fact, we all agreed to pay you for your work tonight because it was so good. Plus we loved hearing your singing. I didn't realize you liked to sing." Billy said.

"Oh I couldn't take any kind of payment from you guys. I loved drawing the legend tonight. Drawing is a passion of mine, so it really wasn't any trouble. In fact, I wouldn't mind doing this with every legend. I think I could even write them down to go along with the drawings I did. I honestly don't think they'd need it though, the drawings kind of speak for themselves. Singing is another passion I have as well. As much as I do love it, I don't think I'm that good at it." I said starting to blush a little bit.

"Are you sure? We don't mind to pay you in some way or another. We all love what you've done." Billy continued.

"It's really fine. Thank you though Mr. Black. All of you have been so kind to me already. I have felt like a part of everyone's family since I've been here. All I hope is that we can all stay close and help each other when we need it." I said smiling. Paul walked over to join some of the guys who were horsing around. I watched him playfully wrestle with them a little bit.

"I can see how much you really love him. Everyone can. I don't think there has ever been a connection as strong as the one you have with Paul. It's amazing how much you two have become one." Billy said to me as he saw me looking after Paul.

"I know he can be a little temperamental at times. But I really do love that man. I couldn't imagine life being any different now. He's my whole world, and I know our son will love him too." I said wrapping my arms to my stomach.

"I hope you can live long and happy lives together. You two deserve it. I know neither of you have had a very good life at home. I don't know if Paul has ever talked to you about his home life, but his biological father left when he was still a baby. He never got to know him. Being the only child, he had to put in a lot of extra work to help out around the house growing up. When his mother finally remarried some years ago, he found out she was being beaten by his step dad. It has really messed with him ever since then. He's never been the same. He gets very protective over people he cares about. I see it even more when he's with you. He'd die for you to make sure you'd be happy." Billy said. He was being called over by Sue again.

I looked at Paul again who was still horsing around. I set my things down where we had been sitting earlier. I left my shoes here too. I walked over to the shore to look out at a big, bright full moon. I let the gentle touch of water come up over my feet. It felt very nice to have them be cooled off a little bit. I walked along the beach until I found the giant rock that had hidden me from sight months ago when I first meet Paul.

I felt Paul wrap his arms around me. He hugged me before turning me around towards him. He moved me back against the rock gently. He started kissing on my neck and jaw. I put my hands on the nape of his neck. I allowed him to kiss me and move down to my breasts which were now showing. He slowly went down farther pulling my pants and panties down just enough to put his mouth to go around my crotch.

I gasped a little, grabbing a little bit of his hair and leaned forward a little bit. Paul enjoyed this and kept going. He wanted me to feel some sort of pleasure tonight. He was doing a good job of getting me to feel pleasure. He was able to use just his tongue in ways I'd never imagined to be possible. My excitement was going through the roof and he was ready for me to have an orgasm all over him.

When I finally did, he took my clothes completely off as well as his and packed me into the water. We washed us off and splashed around a little bit. That's when the guys showed up to join us. I hid behind Paul as he was ready to fend off the unwanted guests at the moment. In that moment, the guys threatened to take my clothes and run off with them.

Paul changed into his wolf form and guarded me from being seen as we slowly walked out of the water towards my clothes. I was dripping wet but managed to get my things on. Paul changed back to his human form and put his things back on too. The others went off laughing at what just happened. Paul was still really mad at them for even teasing about me.

We walked back, hand in hand, to where everyone else was sitting. All eyes fell on us as we arrived back at the fire. I felt my face light up as bright as the fire, and feeling just as hot. I was wondering how much they had heard. I also wondered what the guys had said and who all heard about it. I clung closer to Paul now as people were still staring. The guys started laughing as we sat down. I nuzzled my face into Paul's neck. I felt the tears welling up in my eyes feeling embarrassed. They kept going, making jokes about me and Paul.

I got up and said good night to everyone. I started walking home by myself. I didn't want to break down in front of everyone. I guess it was a combination of stuff making me upset. When I got home, I felt so exhausted. I sat down on the porch. I proceeded to lay down and look up at the sky. The moon and stars twinkled brightly. I laid there thinking about what the guys had said. I know they were only joking, as they usually did, but it still made me feel bad. I heard a whimper and a soft nudge on my legs.

I sat up to see Paul there. He had a bag of my stuff in his mouth. He dropped it on the porch next to me. I put my hand on his head. I could still feel some of the pleasure from before at the water. I wondered what it'd be like to have him stick his tongue in me in his wolf form. I started kissing on his snout. He nudged me back down, sniffing around my woman hood. I pulled down my pants and panties to my knees. I felt him breathe his hot breath on me through his nose.

I was getting very turned on by this. I didn't realize how arousing this was going to be. I felt his paws go onto my legs and he sniffed around on my lower parts. Finally he started running his rough tongue on me. It was so pleasing to feel his rough wolf tongue go over me. I let out a few moans of pleasure. Paul stopped himself and looked over his shoulder towards the fire. He took his paws off me and turned around.

I pulled my panties and pants up, standing up to see what Paul was hearing. The guys were walking towards us looking down ashamed. Paul sat down on his haunches and waited for me. I wasn't in the mood for any more jokes, but something was telling me they weren't going to be making any more jokes tonight. I stood next to Paul in his wolf form, rubbing the fur at his neck.

"Listen Brittlyn. We wanted to apologize for the jokes that we made." Jared said.

"Yeah, we weren't wanting to make you feel uncomfortable. We were just wanting to tease Paul about stuff, which was also a bad idea. Especially after you left." Quil spoke up.

Paul let out a little growl towards his pack. I stood there and rubbed my hand on Paul's back. He let out a whimper and put his head on me. I kissed his forehead. The other guys said their apologies too. I smiled a weak smile before speaking to them.

"Thanks guys! I know you weren't intentionally trying to hurt my feelings or anything. I guess I'm just a little more sensitive right now. I just really need some time to be with Paul. I just really need to talk with him." I tried explaining.

Paul phased back to his normal self. "You heard her guys. Let us be alone to talk."

Paul stood there naked in front of us. The guys went back and started to wrestle playfully. I walked up the porch steps to go inside. Paul came up with me, staying close to me in the darkness. He went to flip on a light switch, then went to get dressed. He came back a few moments later half dressed. I sat on the couch staring out the window, my hands on my stomach. When Paul sat down beside me, I laid down with my head on his chest. He started to play with my hair and rubbed my back.

"Paul?" I asked.

"Yes, my love?" He said back.

"Never mind." I sat up and kissed him on his forehead.

Paul looked at me questioningly. "What's on your mind babe? I know somethings bothering you. And it's more than the jokes the guys had. Talk to me."

I looked down before looking back at him. "Paul, I love you and you love me. I know that. I love the baby and I know you do to. But… I don't know. Maybe I shouldn't bring it up. I'll feel awful for saying it."

"What is it babe?" Paul asked looking more concerned.

"I guess it's just… Are you going to still love me after the baby comes? I'm not going to be as beautiful as when we first met. And I'm going to be busy with the baby for a while, plus you'll be busy with patrolling and the baby will be up and down all through the night. You'll be extra tired and…" I was suddenly caught off guard when Paul went upstairs.

I was shocked at first, but he came back down holding a condom in his hand. He took off his pants and underwear only to put the condom on. I was confused for a moment before he ripped my clothes off me, throwing the shreds to the floor. I looked at him before he gently laid me back on the sofa. He started attacking my neck and jaw with his hot lips. I put my arms on the nape of his neck.

He slowly moved his lips around to different parts of my body. I couldn't help but let out some moans and groans. Paul's phone went off, but we both thoroughly ignored it. Considering what was going on at hand, Paul thought this was more important. He literally had me in his hands. I arched my back as he roughly started to rub my crotch. My breathing was changing as he kept me aroused. I begged him not to tease me anymore.

He did as I asked, finally shoving himself inside me. I felt the sensation of him thrusting around. Our breathing started to sync up, both having heavy breaths. His felt good on my neck as he lay there, keeping me satisfied. I didn't want it to stop, but I finally had an orgasm and so did he.

Just then, Sam walked in through the door looking a little peeved. He seen me laying there with Paul on top of me. Both of us were butt naked, Paul let a growl slip towards Sam. Paul put the blanket from the back of the couch over me. I started to turn a cherry red color all over. I felt so embarrassed that Sam walked in on us as Paul finished having his way with me. Sam stood there staring for a minute before even trying to speak.

"I know Sam. I'm sorry I didn't pick up and I'll be there in a minute for patrol. My wife and imprint needs my attention right now though. As soon as I'm done I'll be out and do a little over time." Paul answered an unspoken question by Sam.

"Ok, but be there soon. Or I'll be making you do a 24 hour patrol." Sam threatened. He turned and left before phasing.

Paul kissed me one more time before moving down to suck, nip and kiss each of my breasts. "I could never not love you more than the world. I will always be here to give you what you need. You just have to tell me what it is you need if I can't figure it out. There is no way this baby is going to make me feel any different towards you."

I leaned in to kiss Paul again. I straddled his lap, allowing me to feel how hard he was getting under me, and nipped his neck a little bit. "Good I'm happy to hear it. Before you know it, I'll be able to make you feel like a man again. Just the way you like it."

He took me off his lap and placed me on the couch covering me back up. He smiled and kissed my forehead before going outside to phase and start patrolling. I went upstairs to put a robe around my still naked body. When I came back down, Emily had seen the mess and started to clean it up. I smiled at her and mouthed a thank you. I sat down on the couch, setting my legs at an angle before Emily brought over a snack for me to nibble on. It was popcorn and a sandwich. She handed me a Gatorade, knowing my electrolytes would need to be replenished.

"So, how are you feeling sweetheart? I heard you and Paul had some things to talk about." Emily said looking at me.

I was very hungry and this snack she made was hitting the spot. "I did have to talk to him. The good thing is we got it all figured out. Thank you for doing this. Making the snack and cleaning up I mean, you really didn't have to do it."

"It's fine dear. I wanted to come over and check on you anyway. Listen, I wanted to make sure it was ok with you, but do you mind if I stay tonight. I get lonely when Sam's not home. I figured you'd probably be lonely too. I wanted to come join my new sister in some well needed gal pal time." Emily said sweetly.

"That's fine Emily. I do get lonely waiting for Paul. I'm happy to spend time with you to. You are like my sister too!" I said as I finished up the snack. There was a little popcorn left and I had some Gatorade left.

Emily giggled at me. "Well I'm happy to see that your appetite hasn't left. Why don't you let me draw you a warm bath?"

"Oh Emily you don't need to do that!" I objected.

I was too late, because she was already making her way upstairs to start the bath water. I followed her up, getting some underwear and pajamas for the night. I told her she was more than welcome to a pair of my pajamas. I got into the warm bath and let my muscles relax after having some sympathy sex with Paul. I stayed in there listening to music for a little while. I was starting to feel very sleepy. I decided to wash up and head back down to join Emily. She had the TV going on a rom com. I sat down and watched the movie with her for a while.

"Emily, you can sleep in mine and Paul's room tonight. I know you must be wore out now." I insisted as I looked to see that it was nearly 2 in the morning.

Emily stretched and yawned. "I am getting a little tired. Sam doesn't like it when I stay up late anyway. But I hate to take your bed from you though."

"It's really no problem. I'll be up a little while longer anyway. I still need to relax a little bit. Go ahead and lay down. Goodnight Emily!" I said.

"Ok, thanks! Goodnight Brittlyn!" Emily said sweetly before heading upstairs to sleep.

I stayed on the couch watching the rest of the romantic comedy that was on. I at some point heard the faint howl of a wolf in the distance. I could tell it was Paul's howl. He sounded very sad or upset about something. That's when I noticed an aching in my chest. I couldn't help but let some tears stream down my face at the thought of my man being sad.

I ended up crying until I fell asleep on the couch. I was hoping for a peaceful sleep, but something had caused me to have some terrible nightmares about Paul. The next morning, I woke up screaming out for Paul as I sat up on the couch. I felt tears running down my face as I realized the dream was the same as the last time. I couldn't help but to cry as Emily came over to start comforting me.

She asked what the problem was. I told her just a bad dream and that was all. She said Paul had come home around the time she had woke up this morning. She had promised Paul to wake him up if I needed him. Otherwise just wake him up when breakfast was ready. I walked upstairs to see Paul lying in bed sound asleep. The sun came in through the open window, making Paul look even more tan and beautiful than before.

I quietly walked over to him and sat down on the bed. I needed a few minutes to look at his beautiful face. I gently gave him a kiss on the forehead before going to pick out some clothes for the day. I looked through my clothes and decided that today was a good day to wear sweats and a t-shirt.

I went to the bathroom to get dressed and throw my hair into a messy bun. I brushed my teeth and walked downstairs. I went to a little side table with a cabinet underneath it. I pulled out one of the photo albums I had brought here with me after mom died. It seemed like I hadn't looked in these for ages. It had only been about a month since I actually looked though. Emily was making bacon, eggs and biscuits this morning for breakfast. It all smelled wonderful. I kept looking through some of the old photos. I happened across one from my tenth birthday though.

When I looked at all the kids in the picture with me, there was one I couldn't stop looking at. When I took a closer look, I seen Paul's beautiful brown eyes looking into the camera. I smiled and looked at the rest of the photos from my tenth birthday. A lot of them were either of me and Paul or me and one of my parents. I started crying at the thoughts of me and my parents again. Then I remembered that I now had Paul to fill in a void in my life. Plus, we had a baby on the way. Now I was crying for a whole other reason.

It was tears of happiness and sadness. I couldn't tell which emotion was more powerful in this moment. Paul walked down stretching and smiling. He sniffed the air and let out a sigh. He looked over at me and seen that I was crying. He didn't know if I were upset or happy. He walked over to me, picked me up and sat me back down on his lap.

I laid my head on his shoulder, feeling comforted by his hold and warmth on me. Paul rubbed circles on my back with his hand and soon moved to only doing it with his thumb. I could feel him smile against my head as he laid it on me. I took in Paul's sweet scent before showing him what I was looking at.

"I was looking through this old photo album and came across some pictures from when we were ten. I forgot about you being there Paul. My parents had taken a lot of pictures of us together. We were always smiling and having fun together. There's even a couple of us hugging each other." I said looking up at him happily.

Paul smiled looking through some of the pictures. "I forgot about this. I guess it was fate or something. We were together then and we are together now. Just like in the future."

At that moment I decided to grab my camera and get a picture of us together. Paul smiled and hugged me to his bare chest. I kissed him on his chin. I put my arms around him as Emily finished up making breakfast. She made up a couple of plates and got two glasses down.

"What would you two like to drink this morning?" Emily asked breaking our silence.

"We will both take orange juice." Paul answered for both of us.

I'm happy he said orange juice. I was really in the mood for it. I went over to the table while Paul grabbed the orange juice out of the fridge. Emily sat down with us and sat out another plate as Sam walked in to join us. Each couple sat across from each other, engulfed in their own conversations. As I finished my plate, I looked at Paul lovingly. He sat there with a second plate of food and started devouring it.

"Emily thank you for making breakfast. It was delicious as always." I stood up going over to the kitchen and washing the dishes.

"It was no problem. Thank you for letting me stay and sleep in your things last night." Emily smiled.

I smiled warmly back at her. Everyone brought their dishes over to the sink. I washed up all the dishes. When I was finished, I turned to see the front door was open. Everyone went outside to talk for a few minutes. Emily and Sam waved and said they needed to head home. We hugged and they walked home together. Paul wrapped his arms around me after I turned to face him.

I started kissing him lovingly as his hands went to my hips. I wiggled my hips a little in his grip. He chuckled a little bit at my movement. He went to get my iPod and Bluetooth speaker. He brought it back and turned on a song he knew I loved on my playlist. He loved to hear me sing and watch me dance. He started kissing me as another song came on. This one I couldn't sing very well too, but I really moved my body to the beat.

He kept his lips to mine and his hands to my hips. I moved my hips gently to the beat allowing Paul to feel the movements that I made. I felt his lips curve into a smile against mine. I couldn't help but smile back at him. I started chuckling for no reason. I don't know why I was laughing, but I just felt so much joy that I couldn't contain it.

Paul looked at me confused for a minute, then he started to laugh with me. "What's so funny?"

"Nothing. I just feel so happy right now. I couldn't seem to contain it for a second longer. I just started smiling and it made me want to laugh." I looked up at him with the biggest smile ever on my face.

"Well, I love seeing you smile. I love hearing your laugh as well. It's like music to my ears. It feels me with joy to see you like this." Paul said, his hands still on my hips.

I moved my hips towards his and grabbed hold of his. I took his hands off my hips and placed mine back on his. I guided his hips to the beat of the music. I moved him around in a way that somehow made him look more beautiful. I soon remembered he was shirtless, it made me smile at him. His hips still moved as I pulled him close to me. I let him grind on me a little bit. That's when I pushed him up against the banister. I pressed myself against him, keeping a smile on my face. He kept his too. We just embraced each other and he didn't want to move from this position, afraid that I would stop being in a good mood.

Six months had passed, and had I grown. I felt as big as a house and looked horrible. The baby had been moving like crazy. Each time he kicked, Paul missed it because he was too busy. On one of the few days Paul had off, we went over to Sam and Emily's house. Everyone seemed to love to feel the baby in my belly. I felt uncomfortable in more ways than one. It wasn't the guys fault, although Paul growled at them for being very touchy on me.

Occasionally, the guys would make a joke about my breasts getting bigger. The milk started coming in last month, so they all had plenty of jokes. For the most part they couldn't quite staring at them. This not only resulted in growls and violent shaking from Paul, but the guys were being yelled at by Sam too. It helped to know that these two were on my side.

Today, Paul had to go out and patrol with all the guys. The only reason he came over to Emily and Sam's was so I could get here ok. Emily and I loved having time to spend with each other. I enjoyed her presence, mostly because I could talk to her about problems that I may have with Paul or the occasional girl stuff. Any time we could talk with out the guys listening in was always a good one. I sat at the bar on a chair that had a back to it. Paul had put a cushion to help ease my back pain.

"Thanks for spending time with me Emily. I really appreciate the help. I know I haven't exactly been the greatest person to be around lately. I don't know how Paul is standing it really." I started talking.

"It's no problem. I see how much Paul really loves you. He really wants to meet his unborn child. I can tell he's very excited about it. Which reminds me. Are you and Paul free tonight?" Emily asked.

"Yeah, as far as I know we are. Why?" I asked.

"Well I know that the bonfire and the council stories are tonight. I think it would be good if you come with Paul. I know the council would love to see you again. Why don't you guys come?" Emily asked.

"I will talk with Paul. I'm sure he'd love to go. I know I need out of the house for some fun." I kind of complained.

Emily smiled and handed me a bowl with some fruit in it. As soon as I was done eating, Sue walked through the door, smiling at Emily and myself. We both smiled back at her as she walked over to join in on the conversation. I knew Paul sent her over because it was appointment day. I grabbed the counter and tried standing myself up. Sue and Emily both came over to help me stand up. I huffed out a breath of air and placed my hand on my stomach. Emily took me upstairs and told me to get comfortable.

"Thanks again Emily." I said laying down. I pulled my shirt up and my sweats down below my stomach.

"So sweetie. Any changes lately?" Sue asked.

"No, same as the last time. Paul is too. He's being just as protective now as he ever was. I only wish he could feel the baby kick." I told Sue.

She felt around on my stomach and did a routine checkup. "Well everything seems to be fine. You still have a month left though. Your baby is happy and healthy. You seem to be too." Sue said as I felt a sudden shift in my mood.

Paul had returned from his meeting with the pack. He came running upstairs to see me with my stomach exposed. He started rubbing my stomach and kissing on it. Then he put his ear on it to hear the baby inside. He kept one hand on my stomach as he and Sue helped me to sit up. Sue told him that everything was fine and that the baby seemed happy and healthy. Paul showed a big smile over hearing the news.

"Thanks for coming to check on her Sue." Paul shouted after her.

"No problem Paul! See you guys later!" Sue shouted back.

Paul sat down on the bed next to me keeping an arm around me and his hand starting to rub on my stomach. I put a hand on Paul's back and my head on his shoulder. I started to sing a little lullaby without thinking about it. Paul hummed along with me and continued to rub my belly. That's when the baby kicked right under Paul's hand. He got the biggest grin ever on his face. We kept going and the baby kicked under Paul's hot hand continually as we did it.

Paul gets on his knees in front of me, placing his hands on either side of my stomach. He leaned forward smiling and kissing my stomach. His smile was contagious and I couldn't keep from smiling at him. I could tell how ecstatic he was to be feeling the baby kick. The baby didn't stop once he'd started. The baby kicked and stretched under Paul's warm hands. I could feel the baby moving around in my stomach. It was a wonderful feeling and I loved it.

"Babe, this is amazing. I never thought… I never…" Paul broke down and started crying.

This is a first for Paul. I started to frown a little bit, feeling his sadness. I grabbed the sides of Paul's face, making him look at me. "Paul? What's wrong? Why are you crying baby?"

"I'm sorry Brittlyn. I shouldn't be crying. But Feeling the baby move. It's wonderful! She's going to be a dancer just like you! I love her so much! Almost as much as I love you my beautiful angel!" Paul stood up grabbing my face and giving me the most passionate kiss ever.

"Paul!" I almost screamed his name. I hugged him and started tearing up a little bit myself. "My handsome man! You are truly an angel to me! I've never seen you get so emotional about something. And that kiss was absolutely wonderful. But is there something else upsetting you? I can still feel you hurting baby. Tell me what's making you hurt."

We walked downstairs and outside before he decided to tell me anything. We went and sat on an old broken down tree. Paul looked back at the house for a second. Then he looked down at his feet. When I moved his face up gently to look at me, I saw tears streaming down his face. I couldn't stand to see or feel him so upset over something. All I could do was hug him. There was no words to be said in a moment like this. I just held him for a few minutes before the silence was broken.

"As a child, I grew up in a very broken home. There was so much wrong in my life. I never knew my real father. When my mom remarried, it was to a horrible man who would beat her. For a long time, I've felt trapped by things I could never control. I developed anger issues because of people like my father and step dad. I loved my mom so much, and when she would be hurt…" He trailed off.

"Paul, I'm so sorry. I'm sure it was tough to see someone you love so much go through so much pain. I know with my mom, it wasn't easy, but I still loved her. I wanted to protect her, but I couldn't in the end. Paul, the way you protect me is the way I want to protect you and our child. I know things have been rough for you. There's a reason why you imprinted on me. I think it's because we can protect and love each other more than any other person on this planet would." I told him, wrapping an arm around him.

Paul looked at me with these big soft brown eyes that seemed sad. "I just never talked to anyone about this before. I want to be better than my father or step dad ever was. I'm afraid of failing you. And now I'm afraid of failing as a father. But I want to promise right now, that no matter what, I will always be there for the two of you."

I cupped my hand on Paul's cheek. "Well, as far as I'm concerned you already are being better than either of them. You have stuck around and love us with everything in you Paul. You have already become more of a man than either of them have. I promise to be the best mother, wife, lover and friend that I possibly can be."

Paul hugged me as we both started to let out some tears. The baby went crazy kicking, making me cringe just a little bit. Paul felt the baby kick and seen me cringe a little. I let out a breath before putting my hand on my stomach and having Paul help me up. We grabbed each other's hand and started walking back towards Emily and Sam.

"Oh I just remembered. Emily invited us to the bonfire tonight. Can we please go Paul? I'd really like to see everyone together again tonight." I asked him.

"Sure babe. I know Sam had asked me to come. I thought we could go and have a little fun. Listen to some of the old stories again. I know Billy's been wanting you to draw another one of the legends again." Paul said.

Later that evening, Paul and I arrived at the bonfire. There was an open space right next to Billy and the other elders of the tribe. I sat down, Billy to my right and Paul on my left. I got a new sketchbook for tonight's legend. I got my pencils ready as Billy nodded toward me.

I drew quickly as usual, trying to capture every detail into the drawings. When Billy was finished everyone clapped a little bit. Everyone had gotten up to move around and stretch or get a snack. I got up with Paul's help, and started to walk over to get myself a drink. Paul sat back down as I smiled at him. Before I could reach the table, I felt a gush of water go down my legs. Then I felt a pain in my stomach, which I figured out was a contraction.

"Paul!" I said louder than needed. I turned to face towards him, feeling another contraction and dropping my things on the ground.

Paul ran over to help me as the pains were getting intense. "Sue! I think she's went into labor!"

"Ok sweetie. I need you to breathe. The babies coming early, which happens." Sue started explaining as I did what she said. "We can get you home with time to spare if Paul can pack you."

Paul nodded, lifting me up and running towards the house. Sue said something, but I didn't quite get what it was though. In just a couple minutes, Paul had me upstairs. He helped me to get out of my soaking pants and underwear. He lifted my shirt off of me as well, which only left me in a bra. I got into the bed laying on my back. Another contraction came and lasted a little bit longer this time. Sue got here just as I got into the correct position to deliver the baby. Another second later, Carlisle came in to help with the delivery.

Paul growled before I let out a stifled scream of pain. Paul then turned to me, grabbing my hand and whimpering knowing there was no way he could take this pain form me. I felt horrible that he was subjected to feel the pain I was in. He felt bad because I was in so much pain anyway.

"Ok, Brittlyn it's time. You are fully dilated. On the next contraction you will need to push ok?" Carlisle said to me.

I nodded my head, not being able to form words at the moment. I felt a little awkward that a man was helping to deliver the baby and seeing me get stretched out like this. Although the pain outweighed the awkwardness I felt. I felt the next contraction come on and Carlisle told me to push. This happened a couple more times before the baby was finally here.

"It's a beautiful baby boy." Carlisle said.

That's when I still felt another contraction. Carlisle handed the baby to Sue and came back to me. He said that another baby was on the way. I couldn't believe what I just heard. Paul and I were having twins. When the next couple of contractions came, I pushed. Finally the second baby was delivered.

"We have a beautiful baby girl this time." Carlisle announced.

I was finally able to relax for a minute while the babies were being cleaned off by Sue. Paul sat on the edge of the bed next to me. He covered me up after Carlisle checked me. Carlisle and Sue helped me position the babies in a comfortable position so I could immediately start to breastfeed the hungry ones. Paul looked after me lovingly, while looking at the children with so much love.

I could see in Paul's eyes how much he really loved the children. I loved my new big family. It felt complete now. Paul got closer to me and the babies. Carlisle and Sue left as we had our family moment. Around an hour later, there was a knock at the bedroom door. Paul softly said to come in. It was the whole pack and Emily. Emily was very small compared to all the shirtless boys that stood around.

"Oh my gosh! You guys had twins?" Emily asked.

"Yes, Paul's holding Emily Colleen Lahote. And I'm holding Paul Samuel Lahote Jr." I told everyone quietly.

Sam and Emily's eyes sparkled. They said they were honored to have the kids named after them. Emily started to cry a little bit. Then I started to cry with her. She came over and looked at the kids before giving me a hug.

"Paul and I agreed that we'd use a part of our own names as well as your guy's names. We both are using some family names of our own." I explained looking down at the babies.

Everyone wanted to hold the newborns, so we passed them around. Paul looked at me and rubbed my legs as everyone gawked at the kids. I propped myself up a little bit, so I could be more comfortable. We called our son Jr. or Paul Jr. to avoid confusion and our daughter by Colleen or Emily Colleen. They both started to cry at once, I could tell they were getting tired and needed to be put down for rest. Paul took them both easily and laid them in the single baby crib we had for them in the room.

Everyone quietly left after they had said congratulations to us. Paul seen them out as I laid down on the bed, getting tired myself. Paul came up as I closed my eyes. He walked over to the babies. He stood there and I could feel his happiness deep within me. He watched over the kids for a minute before speaking something to them.

"I will never stop loving you guys. I know you will have your mother's kind heart and wonderful mind. You guys are so lucky to have such a wonderful person as a mother. I know we will both love you so much. I promise to be the best father ever and will protect you three from anything and everything." Paul said sweetly.

"Paul?" I asked looking at him from the bed.

He came over climbing in bed with me. He sensed that I wanted him to be next to me. He got behind me and spooned me, wrapping his arms around my waist. I felt comforted by his presence. I drifted off into a nice sleep, only to awaken a few hours later. It was still dark, but I knew something was wrong. Paul was in bed asleep beside me. I knew he was ok, but something was still wrong though. I could feel it deep inside me. I sat up rubbing my eyes a little bit, careful not to wake Paul.

When I took a couple minutes to think about it, my heart skipped a beat. I shot off the bed and went over to the crib in the room. I looked at the babies. When I looked at them, my heart immediately started to break. I let out a scream and cried. I woke up Paul when I did. He watched me fall to my knees and I wept. He came over to me and seen what I had seen in the crib. He called for Sue and Carlisle to come over as quick as they could.

Paul was cradling me on his lap. We were sitting downstairs on the couch with everyone surrounding us. Paul and I were both in tears now. Sue and Carlisle walked downstairs. The babies were wrapped tightly in blankets. I felt like I failed as a parent. I didn't even have my children for a whole day. Carlisle and Sue allowed me to hold my babies one last time before they took him.

Suddenly, the babies started crying and moving around in my arms. I was shocked, but kept my hold on them. I started to cry tears of joy at this point. Paul stood up and started to kiss me and the kids. Carlisle, Sue and everyone else stood there looking shocked. I was crying tears of joy at this point. I held my children close to me as they cried out. Paul hugged all three of us to him.

"My beautiful children, my handsome and brave husband…" I looked up to Paul crying. We kissed as he took his little girl out of my arms.

"Shhh. Shhh. It's ok baby. I know. I know we have our beautiful kids back. I have a beautiful, strong, intelligent, caring, loving wife. I love you three so much!" Paul started crying.

I hugged my man with my open arm. It was time I started to feed the kids again. They should be hungry by now. I sat down on the couch forgetting that everyone else was there. I had opened the button up shirt of Paul's I was wearing exposing my bigger than normal breasts. I placed Paul Jr. on one side and Colleen on the other. Paul rubbed my back, helping me to support the baby's heads as they drank my milk.

We suddenly heard a cough coming from someone. Paul looked behind us to see everyone staring. "Sorry guys. I know it's late and I apologize for the both of us. Thank you all for coming to help and support us. Carlisle, can you stay for a little bit to help us and help keep an eye on the baby's?" Paul started.

I stood up with the baby's still being breastfed, not thinking anything of it as I turned to the others. "Paul's right. I'm sorry we called you all here. We just needed the support of our family. You guys came without hesitation and it fills me with so much joy that you guys care so much!"

I looked around at everyone. I looked at Quil and Jared. They both stared around the baby's heads, looking at my breasts. I looked down feeling embarrassed and Paul took notice. He started growling and looked at the two who were staring. The three of them ran outside. I sat back down on the couch trying not to embarrass myself anymore. Carlisle, Sue and Emily all three came over.

Suddenly, I felt a soreness in my chest. I looked down to see that I was bleeding a little bit. The infants had quit feeding and were crying, feeling the pain I was in. I don't know where this scratch came from, but it was bleeding and moving towards my breasts. I looked to Sue and Emily, who understood and took the infants in their arms.

I ran upstairs to the bathroom, to clean myself up. Carlisle was suddenly behind me. My breasts were still exposed, but he didn't seem to take notice. Although he seemed to notice when my heart started racing and my cheeks turned a rosy red. Carlisle's hand lifted my face up so I could meet his gaze.

"There is no need to feel embarrassed. I promise there is absolutely nothing to be embarrassed about. I have seen much worse than this. It's a scratch from your son. It looks as if he's already taking after his father." Carlisle said pleasantly.

That's when Paul walked in to see me button up the shirt I had on. He walked over to me and looked at the scratch I received from our son. He bent down to kiss it before frowning. "I was afraid he was going to be too much like me. I know he's going to get my temper."

"Paul, I don't care about that. It was an innocent mistake. I know he didn't mean to do this. Plus, I think you are pretty sexy when you start to get mad." I said. Then whispered in a very hushed tone I knew he could hear, "Plus I love feeling your rough dog tongue inside me. I just wonder what it'd be like to have you man handle me."

Paul kissed my neck but stopped because he knew I that I was in need of some rest. I hardly ever came onto Paul that strong. I never came onto him like that. He was feeling ravenous as he looked me over. I wanted him so badly right now. I know I had to split my responsibilities between him and the kids, but all I could do was look at him and feel the lust.

Without looking at Carlisle I asked, "Carlisle, can you guys please watch the kids for a little bit? I really need to be with Paul for a while."

"Sure. I'd be happy to watch them. I will just go and get the crib to take with us while you two have your alone time." Carlisle said modestly. He was very sweet about it.

"Thanks Carlisle. I really appreciate it. Tell the others I said thanks as well." I said. He nodded and went to get some diapers, the crib and some formula for the infants.

I grabbed Paul's hands and led him to the bedroom while we finally had some privacy. I left the door open to the bedroom and started to undress myself in front of Paul. By the time I was done, he was already completely nude on the bed. He laid there waiting for me, so I walked over to him. I noticed him watching my breasts as they bounced a little when I walked towards him.

When I finally made it over, I straddled myself over him. I started by kissing him on the lips. Then I went to his jaw, slowly moving down to his neck. His hands work in a similar fashion, moving only when my lips did. I heard him let out some growls. I moaned a little bit as I heard this, his body shaking a little bit.

I pushed him down onto his back, continuing my attack on his neck. I felt him start to kiss me back. At some point he got a rock hard erection under me, trying to find its way inside of me. Paul switched our roles, him laying on top of me attacking my whole body with his hot, soft kisses. I moaned as he went to my breasts. He started sucking on them, feeling the milk come out as he did this. He started to bite them a little, knowing I'd be tender and would enjoy this.

I wanted him to be rough with me, and he sure as hell was being rough. I could tell that I would be bruised in the morning. I loved it. With each passing second of him biting, nipping and thrusting inside me I got more excited. I arched my back from time to time and moaned at the pleasures of being man handled.

Each time he thrusted, I would dig my nails into his back. Thankfully he healed quickly and he didn't seem to be affected by it. It actually seemed to turn him on more. I loved having him touch me and move around with me like this. We could be so intimate together and not worry about anything else. Each time we were intimate like this, I could feel his love.

He never fucked me when he was in a bad mood. He never touched me like this when he was upset. I'm so happy that Paul was my first. He was my first everything, which made it all that much more special. I wanted to show him how much love I felt toward him. I wanted him to know that I would always be there for him. I wanted him to feel like he was the man that he wanted to be and more. I wanted him to feel how important he was.

We had stayed up until almost 6 in the morning. After having sex, we talked to each other. We told each other how we felt about the other. I had to take my time to explain to Paul how exactly I felt about him so he would understand everything.

"Paul I love you so much more than you will ever know. I couldn't ever live without you. If something were to ever happen to me, please don't kill yourself. The kids will still need you. I will always find you as attractive and loyal and amazing in every way. I will always love you to no end because you were my first everything." I said nuzzling myself into him.

"Brittlyn, I love you so much too. I couldn't live without you either. The kids need you just as much as they do me. I want you to go on living if something would ever happen to me too. You will always be beautiful, strong and courageous. I will always love you, because you were my first everything. I want you to be happy my love." Paul said pulling me closer than humanly possible.

We laid there for a few minutes before someone knocked at the door. I got up putting my underwear on, throwing on one of Paul's shirts over them. I opened the door to see Carlisle waiting there for me. He motioned me downstairs. I reluctantly followed him, the top button of Paul's shirt popping open. I rolled my eyes, leaving the shirt as it only showed a little bit of my breasts.

I saw Leah holding Paul Jr. and Jared holding Emily Colleen. I sat down on the couch and held each child in an arm. Paul came down half dressed, unbuttoning my, well his, shirt. He watched me with those big brown eyes as I placed the infants up to my chest to start breastfeeding them. They seemed hungrier than usual, but I didn't care. Paul looked down at the babies', admiring their beauty. I did too, seeing that they loved having all of us together.

He kissed the infants heads before I looked to Leah and Jared again. They watched over the all of us with concern on their faces. I looked at them with a questioning look on mine. They looked to each other before looking at Paul and me. Paul was wondering the same thing I was before asking what was on their minds.

They told us that they were asked to help for a little bit. They knew that neither of us had gotten any rest. They wanted to look after the children. That's when Emily and Sam walked through the door with a smile on their faces. Both took the baby that was named after them, after they were done being breastfed. Paul growled for a second at Sam when he grabbed our son who was very close to my uncovered chest.

Sam gave him a look before Paul stood with me. Paul turned me toward him, slowly buttoning his shirt on me from the bottom up. As he did this, Emily had told us to go and get a little sleep. She said that if they needed anything they'd come and get me or Paul. That's when Paul picked me up bridal style, packing me upstairs to bed.

When we were up there, he undid the shirt but left it on me. He kissed each breast before pulling me close to him and keeping me to his body. I wrapped my arms around him, keeping a tight hold on him. We both drifted off into a peaceful sleep. We woke up hours later to a female screaming downstairs.

I shot up in bed, buttoning the shirt on me back up. Paul was only steps behind me. I stopped dead in my tracks to see a wolf as dark as Sam was in his wolf form standing in our living room. It wasn't as big as the guys were, but bigger than your average house dog. Emily held our daughter in her arms. Our son was nowhere to be seen.

I looked at the pup and started walking to it. Paul and Sam both tried keeping me from it, but their efforts were useless. I bent down to look the pup in the eyes. I started crying and hugged it close to me. Everyone was shocked and confused.

"Paul Samuel Lahote Jr.? I never would have thought that you would be able to change this young! Mommy is so proud of you! I love you so much son! I'll have daddy turn so he can help to communicate with you better ok?" I said calmly, but in a happy way. I looked at Paul who followed us outside to the porch.

Paul went into the yard and changed into his wolf form. Everyone was still confused and shocked that this had happened. My guess was that because Carlisle was here, it made our son more likely to change being exposed to it so quickly. Paul and his son went into a wolf like embrace. Paul had signaled for me to come over to our son with his sister. Emily handed her to me and I walked over. Both Paul and our son licked her after giving her a sniff. Our son sniffed me and licked my face as well.

Paul changed out of his wolf form and told our son to change back now. Once he did, he was the adorable infant that we loved just as much. Paul took hold of him and kissed his tiny forehead as he yawned. We took the baby's inside, placing them in the crib where they slept soundly for a while.

"Brittlyn? How did you know that'd be your son? You weren't scared of him and only embraced his wolf form." Sam asked almost dazed.

"Sam, when you have a human growing in you for 9 months then you see them as this tiny human you just know every part of them. I could feel his love, and how he looked at my breasts for food. He is very smart for being so young. He's already like the wolf his father has released." I said as Paul grabbed me from behind, kissing on the side of my neck.

"Well, he is going to have to be very careful about when he changes then. Especially since him and his sister share a bed." Paul continued through his kissing.

"We'll have to let the council know about this immediately. I don't know how they'll react to this. I will be back in a moment." Sam said, leaving to make some phone calls.

That's when Paul decided to go on patrol because he wanted to just make some quick checks around outside. Carlisle came in almost right after Paul left. I had informed him of everything that happened this evening. I went upstairs so Carlisle could check on my health. After routinely doing the invasion tests on my female parts, he checked on my breasts, massaging them so the milk will keep flowing for the infants feeding. He showed me how to do it before leaving. I put on some underwear, sleep pants and a shirt of Paul's. I moved my hair into a messy bun and told everyone I was going to lay down with the baby's.

A few hours later I was woke up by a growling noise. I rubbed my eyes a little bit when I sat up. I looked over to the crib and was shocked to see it tipped over and blood come from it. Emily Colleen laid their motionless and scars all over her. Paul Samuel looked at me scared and ran downstairs and out the door. I was in such shock, I didn't know what to do.

That's when I heard vehicle brakes and a crash following it. I ran downstairs and out the door. I saw my son laying there motionless now. I looked at the people who got out from the vehicle. Billy was coming from the driver's side and Sam from the passenger side. I looked back down to my son and back up to the house. I started to feel feint, Sam ran over to catch me before I blacked out completely for a few minutes.

I shot back up and looked around to see Paul back and sitting in the corner. I never seen him in such a bad place. He seemed almost dazed, or kind of out of it. I felt horrible and started tearing up. I started crying before I went to stand up. I was heading for the door, when Paul's hot hands were on me. He turned me towards him, not even being able to look him in the face.

"Oh Paul! It's all my fault! I should've been up to stop him! I should've grabbed him before he was able to run! Oh God! What have I done?!" I started busting out.

"Oh baby! It's not your fault! We both shared this responsibility. We didn't know this was going to happen. I swear this wasn't all on you! Please look at me babe!" Paul said.

I hugged him to me and kept him close. I started crying because I didn't want him to have another tragedy on his shoulders. I didn't want him to hurt anymore. Sam and Carlisle came back downstairs smiling at each other. I was so confused at first, before realizing at least one of the kids made it.

"I'm happy to report that both of your children are fine Mr. and Mrs. Lahote. Your baby girl is still healing and may never fully recover from the scaring, but she is a little fighter though. So isn't your baby boy. He changed into his wolf form and won't go back though. I think he is in protection mode and needs to be talked to." Carlisle reported.

I ran upstairs past everyone, before they could even try to stop me. I went over to our son who was sitting there looking sadder than ever. I hugged him and kissed his little snout. I looked over at my baby girl who was still resting as if nothing ever happened. I kissed her forehead, not wanting to wake her up.

Paul came upstairs and kissed our daughter. He signaled for our son to come downstairs with him. I felt like I should stay here and let them have their privacy. Emily walked up and seen me watching over my daughter smiling at her.

"I'm happy she's ok. We have sort of matching scars now." Emily chuckled trying to lighten the mood even more.

"I now get to be with two girls who are beautiful and perfect in every way. Even if they have been hurt like this, it shows their bravery and courage and how strong they really are. I love them both so much." I said smiling from the beautiful baby in the crib to the beautiful girl next to me.

Emily started tearing up before hugging me. "Thank you Brittlyn. I know Sam feels horrible everyday about this. I know it was purely by accident, and I still love him."

"I know Em. He doesn't realize how much you really love him. It's like how much I really love Paul. I would do anything to protect my wolf man. Now I have two wolf boys to take care of. I know Jr. is going to feel horrible about this for the rest of his life." That's when I heard the boys outside growling and barking at something.

I had Emily to stay with the baby while I went to check on the boys. I saw Carlisle standing there on guard, Edward suddenly appearing to help him. I asked what the hell was going on. Edward filled us all in on why my boys were being so defensive.

"Dammit all to hell! Paul, he was coming to give me a fucking checkup and physical! I mean if you'll calm down and remember for two seconds that two days ago I pushed two babies out of my vagina!" I practically screamed loud enough for everyone to hear.

Paul calmed down and got our son to calm down too. Edward translated his thoughts for us. Paul apologized for him and our son. He looked over at our son as soon as he was done, then looked to Edward to translate to me. Edward told me my son was feeling hungry, which Paul Jr. was looking to my chest as he licked his lips. Paul did the same, but for a different reason. I rolled my eyes at my husband and told our son to come inside before he changed back.

When we went upstairs, he whimpered at his sister before laying on the bed and changing back. I unbuttoned the top part of my shirt as Paul walked in with us. He told Emily she was no longer being held hostage. She looked very tired and needed some rest. She went home with Sam as I went on breastfeeding my hungry little boy. He never seemed to quite eating, which was normal for my husband and his pack.

"Babe, why didn't you tell me Carlisle had come by? Much less seen you completely nude like that. Our son showed me what he saw Carlisle do to you. I will be the first to admit that I didn't like the leech sticking his fingers on you like that. I mean I was the only person who was supposed to be touching you naked, yet you let him do that to you. Then Jr. here started to get mad and that's when he started changing. He felt horrible for hurting Emily Colleen." Paul explained.

"Oh I see. Our little man here was trying to be a big protector to his mommy and sister. Well, it looks like we will have to show him that Carlisle's not here to hurt me. Plus we will have to tell him that I will no longer be naked in front of anyone but daddy from now on. Paul, I'm sorry I didn't tell you sooner, but you were gone. I promise that it won't happen again. Although, I will have to get checked on from time to time." Paul started rubbing on my breast as I told him this.

I smiled and chuckled a little bit at the movement. Paul got on a knee in front of me, then pressed his mouth to my open breast and started sucking like his son did. He also squeezed on it a little bit, while slipping his open hand up one of my lose pajamas bottom legs. He started playing around with me a little bit. I slapped him on the head pretty hard so he'd stop. He went back and I gave him a look that said not tonight. He laughed a little bit before I laid our son down for sleep that night.

Over the next couple of months, Paul and the pack would hang out with our son in his wolf form. They would do little games with him, but not to roughly though. They were afraid of how I'd react if I found any bruises on him. They'd also ask to take him on patrols, which Paul and I would allow. Leah and Emily loved playing with Emily Colleen. They liked taking her over to Emily and Sam's house for a little bit every day or every other day.

One day Jr. was out with some of the pack. He got distracted by something and went off from Quil, who was supposed to be watching him. But as usual, Quil and Jared were in an argument about something. Before either of them realized Jr. was missing, they heard a gunshot. Then there was a second that rang out.

We heard the gunshot back at the house. To say the least, Paul and I were scared shitless. Paul ran out of the house immediately turning in the yard. He sat there searching for our son's mind as a wolf. I was holding our baby girl in my arms. Emily took her back inside just in case I needed to go with Paul.

Paul looked back at me and let out a long, sad howl. It was just as I feared. I fell to my knees covering my mouth and letting the tears stream down my face. Paul turned back, slipping on his shorts. He came over and grabbed me, hugging me letting his tears come down over me. There was no way that this was happening. Did we just lose our only son to some stupidity? Why did we have to let him go out with two people that could hardly take care of themselves?

Suddenly there was a childlike howl that rang out. It was right here in our back yard. Paul and I both looked, only to see our son smiling a wide smile. We both ran out, grabbing him. He quickly turned seeing how concerned we were. I held him tightly in my arms. Suddenly two hunters came out onto the reservation. They looked around frantically, looking for the wolf they had shot at. We told them there was no sign of a wolf here and that they were on a reservation.

With a straight face, I told the drunken man to get the hell off our property. They hated I had cussed at them. One of them men slapped me before he grabbed me. He squeezed fairly hard causing me to let out a little yelp.

Paul was getting furious to say the least. The man laughed before spitting at the ground towards Paul. Emily, Sam and Leah had come over then. Leah took the infant from my arms and went back inside with him. The other man then grabbed Emily in the same kind of tight grip I was in. They both laughed drunkenly before taking both of us into the woods.

We saw Paul and Sam both start shaking before we were out of sight. The two of us were fighting against the men. It was useless as they only tightened their grips on us. We were slung to the ground before they fought their ways on top of us. Emily grabbed my hand and looked at me frightened. I squeezed her hand lightly, before mouthing it will be ok to her. It was like torture as the men slowly looked at our naked bodies, wanting to physically hurt us.

I finally felt strong enough with anger to punch our attacker's lights out. I kicked the man over me in the balls, then I stood up as the man over Emily looked at me. He stood up and held out a blade. We circled for a minute before he lunged at me. I dodged his attack and tripped him. He threw his knife away from him so he wouldn't get hurt. I went over to Emily who was scared and crying her eyes out.

I helped her up as our saviors came to the rescue. The two men, who were still exposed, looked at the wolves that stood in front of a still naked Emily and me. The guys looked back at us, then to the men and started growling. Especially Sam, because he was super protective over Emily.

I held Emily in my arms as she still cried. The guys attacked the men and killed them instantly. They dragged them off before continuing to rip them to shreds. I held Emily and started to cry a little myself. I felt a little pain at my side, but it wasn't all that bad. The guys came back as naked as we were. They hugged their imprints.

"Brittlyn, thank you for getting that man off me before he took advantage of me. I was so scared of what was going to happen. Plus he got you a little bit on your side with his knife. Look at you bleeding! Are you ok?" Emily asked

"I'm fine Emily. I would never let that man or anyone else hurt you. You are like my sister! I love you too much to let some dick hurt you." I said with confidence.

I looked at Paul, who was getting a blood rush in more than his face. I laughed and walked over to him. Emily walked over to Sam. We all started kissing the one we loved the most. I heard Emily let out a little groan. Then she and Sam hit the ground. I couldn't help but giggle a little bit at how turned on we all felt. Paul started kissing me in the right places as we went down. Somehow, some way, we all stayed here in the woods and had some crazy sex.

When we were all finished a little while later, Paul and Sam changed back into their wolf forms. We walked back to the house, expecting the guys to be staring at us. At least Emily and me anyway. They knew better than to say a word, especially around Sam. We walked inside to get some clothes on. I gave Emily some of my clothes to borrow and Paul gave Sam some shorts and underwear.

We waved bye to everyone as I went back to the kids. It was time for them to be fed again anyway. Paul went to the kitchen to make some food for us to have for dinner. When the kids were asleep, I laid them in the crib and went over with Paul to eat dinner.

"This looks and smells delicious! I am really hungry." I said looking happy.

"No problem babe. You need a break from cooking for a little bit. I wanted to try and make a nice hot meal for us today." Paul said looking even happier than myself.

We sat there in silence for a minute, eating at the spaghetti and meatballs that he made. He also made garlic bread and a salad. We both drank water out of the sink. When we finished dinner, we went over placing our dishes in the sink. I washed the dishes as he put the food into plastic containers.

When we were finished, we walked over to the couch. Paul wanted me to lay down next to him. I did, only to nuzzle my way into his chest. He rubbed my back for a minute, which felt nice. I was nearly asleep before I started talking to him.

"Paul?" I asked.

"Hmm?" He said nearly being asleep himself.

"I love you. Thank you for always being there for me. I know I'm not perfect, but I love how much love I can always feel coming from you. I've never felt anything so strong from anyone before in my life." I said before sitting up beside him.

"Well of course I love you that much. It's a pure and innocent love. One that can never be broken." He said, tracing circles in my hand with his thumb.

He laid on his back as we talked. So, I decided to straddle his shirtless body. I leant down to kiss his face. He grabbed my hips as I did. Before things could get too heated, Sam walked in. Emily was only a step behind him. They were both smiling at us. They were always so happy with each other. I wonder if Paul and I looked that happy around each other. Paul sat up repositioning me on his lap. He was starting to get hard again, but we ignored it as we had guests.

"Brittlyn, I wanted to thank you personally for keeping my beautiful imprint safe. She told me what had happened while you guys were alone. I'm happy you didn't let those drunken dicks hurt my girl. I would've been so hurt myself if they'd done anything more." Sam said looking at me.

"It was no problem Sam. Like I've said before, I love Emily. She is like the sister I never had. I would protect her no matter what happened. She is a very special girl and I'm so happy you guys are engaged." I smiled at them.

Emily came over to hug me. I got off Paul's lap to hug the two people I loved almost as much as I did Paul. I went back to sitting on Paul's lap as Emily and Sam intertwined their hands and started kissing. They left, so Paul and I were alone on the couch again. He positioned me back to straddling him again. I smiled before moving my hips a little bit. Paul let out a little moan before I went to kiss him softly on the lips.

He returned his affections by kissing my lips. That's when I started to remember something that caused me to stop what I was doing. I laid my head on his chest remembering the first time I was kissed. I started to get this weird feeling in the pit of my stomach.

It seemed like Paul was sensing how I was feeling right now. He sat both of us up, but kept me on his lap. I wasn't sure if he'd ask what's wrong, but if he did I wasn't sure if I should tell him about my first kissing experience. I could see him getting mad about it. I looked at him for a second before looking back down.

"Brittlyn? What's wrong? What can I do to fix it?" Paul asked with a concerned look.

"I'm sorry Paul. I just remembered something. It's been a while since it happened, but when I think about it I just start to feel really weird." I told him, still looking away from his gaze.

"Tell me about it. Maybe I can help to make you feel better. I can try to help to get this feeling to go away." Paul said lifting my head up to meet his gaze.

I let out a sigh before talking. "Ok, but just remember this happened a while ago. It was the first kiss I ever had. This guy I was kind of talking to online was always wanting me to send him pictures of my breasts. I didn't really want to, but I was a little desperate to find a guy who loved me. So I sent him a couple of pictures. Then one day we met in a parking lot next to a building I used to live in. My family never knew about this and I only ever talked to one friend about it. Anyway, we sat in this car beside the building and he wrapped his arm around me. Then we started to kiss. As we kissed he stopped for a second and grabbed my boob then he put his mouth on it and started feeling it. A girl was walking by and he stopped and said something to me. He was running his hand on my leg a little bit and was squeezing it. He said something about how he can't wait to see my business. I have felt horrible about it ever since. Oh Paul! I'm sorry about not telling you this sooner, but I forgot about it. Then I was afraid of telling you! I'm so sorry for disgracing you Paul!"

I started to get up when the tears started streaming down my cheeks. Paul stood up, seeing how upset I was and hugged me. He kept his arms tightly wrapped around me and was laying his head on the top of mine. I put my face into his chest and let the tears come out. I felt horrible about this, but Paul didn't care about it. I could tell he could feel how upset I was about this. Paul was rubbing my back, trying to get me to calm down.

"Babe, I'm so happy you told me about this. I want to make you feel like there's nothing you can't talk to me about. This guy won't bother you again. If he tries to, then I will knock his fucking lights out. I promise I love you and will always love you no matter what. I don't want you to feel scared or uncomfortable to tell me this kind of stuff. I love you, and I know you love me. Don't you ever forget that!" Paul said holding me.

I smiled at him, wiping away my tears. He started kissing me gently again. I pushed him onto his back again. I needed Paul and he knew it. He was already shirtless, so the rest was fairly easy. He took off my clothes, and laid me on my back. I kissed his neck, then moved down to his chest. He moved his lips to mine, kissing them passionately. I could feel my breathing get short, as I closed my eyes to feel his movements on me.

Each movement was careful, as if Paul were trying not to hurt me. I pulled him closer to me. I wanted to feel his hot breath on my cooler skin. I wanted him to be rough with me. After what I told him he probably wouldn't be. I kept digging my fingers into him, knowing that he wouldn't be hurt.

"Paul?" I asked.

"Hmm?" Paul asked through kissing on my neck.

"Will you please be rough with me tonight?" I asked.

I felt him smile into my neck. He instantly grabbed my hips, pushing them down into the couch with his. I could feel his warmth inside me now, which cause me to smile from comfort. There was no way that I could express how much I loved my big man right now. He understood what I needed when I told him.

As he thrust his way inside me, I kept my eyes closed and moved my hands from the nape of his neck into the strands of short cropped dark brown hair he had. He kept kissing me, moving from my lips to where ever else he could reach. I felt like screaming out Paul's name, but refrained because of the kids upstairs. Instead, I let my breaths out into some low moans. Paul was now biting me. It wasn't so hard he'd hurt me, but not soft enough to not know what he was doing. It was going to leave bruises there in the morning.

After having some rough sex, my bruises started showing. Paul only smirked at me when he seen them. I smiled at him before hearing the kids. I knew it was time for them to be fed. I walked upstairs slowly, knowing Paul would be looking me over as I went upstairs. I looked back over my shoulder giving him a smile that said "Come get more if you dare…" I saw him shake his head with a weak smile on it.

He got up and followed me upstairs. I picked up our son and Paul handed me our daughter. Paul watched the kids get plenty of food. I watched our son after our daughter had finished already. Emily Colleen was so much smaller than Paul Samuel was. That was because of his very early changing. Emily and Paul Jr. are both very sweet kids though. They never gave any trouble to me or Paul and loved being around the whole pack.

When Paul Jr. was finished eating, he finally went back to sleep. Paul was holding Emily Colleen on his chest asleep. I picked her up and kissed her gently on the head before putting her in the crib with her brother. I went over to the bed with Paul and covered up a little bit. I allowed my arms and feet to be outside of the covers while the rest of me was still covered up.

Paul wrapped a warm arm around me as we started to nuzzle into each other. I felt total calmness come over me. I drifted off into a peaceful sleep, it was one of the few nights I rested amazingly. Knowing that I'd have my own little family to take care of was amazing in every sense of the word. I loved being here right now because of all this love.

The next morning I woke up to the smell of bacon being cooked. I smelled something else, possibly biscuits. I threw on one of Paul's oversized shirts and walked down to the kitchen. He was making breakfast for us this morning. I smiled thinking how sweet it was of him to do this. Paul smiled at me when he seen what I was wearing. He loved me wearing his things and smelling like him. I had to admit that I loved it too. I went and kissed Paul on the cheek before trying to take over on the cooking. He wouldn't allow it though.

"You are not cooking! I am the chef this morning so you will have to deal with it babe!" Paul said playfully.

"Fine! I guess the chef is going to be expecting more than a kiss later?" I asked, giving him a nudge.

Paul let out a chuckle. "Only if I didn't have patrol tonight. I have patrol over the next couple of days actually. Luckily we haven't had any leech problems. By the way, are we going to the human and leeches wedding on Friday?"

"Yes, because we need to show some gratitude towards Dr. Cullen's family and be supportive of Jake. You know how hard things have been on him over the last couple of weeks. It'll be good for us to go and we can take the kids with us. Just to show no hard feelings." I told Paul.

He finished making breakfast, and we both ate it like there was no tomorrow. Paul left early to go patrol. I stayed here and Emily came over to spend the next couple of days with me. Both Paul and Sam had Patrol so this only allowed me and Emily to talk more since the kids were born.

The week passed fairly quickly and it was the night of the wedding. The ceremony was beautiful and the reception was just as good. Paul and I mingled with the guests. There were more vampires than usual, so we had to keep our son very calm. Carlisle came walking over to my little family.

"Well, look at this lovely little family! It's so nice of you guys to come and bring your kids with you. They are as adorable as ever. And growing just as they should it looks like!" Carlisle said looking at the kids.

"They are growing wonderfully Dr. Cullen. We wanted to show our thanks by coming to the wedding. If it weren't for you helping, then who knows what things would be like now? We really do appreciate it!" I smiled back to him.

Suddenly, Paul went around the side of the Cullen house without warning. I held the kids and watched after him. I heard someone talking at me from behind. I turned to see a woman I didn't recognize. She had the looks of a vampire. By this time I was alone with the kids.

"How can you stand to be around them? Those stinking mutts?!" The woman said in a harsh whisper.

"What did you call them?" I asked in an almost shocked way.

"They stink and murdered my mate. You had children with one of them. The little boy you hold stinks so much too! You and your family should all go to hell to burn for eternity!" The woman hissed at me.

I kept taking these small steps back. With each step I took, she took one too. I was finally backed up against a wall. I was terrified not for myself, but for my children. I felt Paul Jr. starting to shake in my arms. I couldn't stop him while I held his sister and this vampire had me trapped in a corner. I looked around desperate for help. That's when I locked eyes with Paul, who seen the position I was in.

He practically ran over to me and the kids. He pushed the woman back and looked to Carlisle. I was nearly in tears by the time Paul and I had left. I didn't speak the whole way home. I put the kids to bed after they were fed and went to clean myself up. I just took in what happened at the wedding, and the tears hit me like a ton of bricks.

I sat down in the shower and cried my eyes out. I let the water stream over me before Paul came to turn it off. He grabbed a towel and wrapped me up in it. He held and cradle me as I tried calming myself down. I hugged Paul, soaking him. I pulled back only to let out a small chuckle. Paul kissed me, leaving me wanting more. Boy did I want more. I was tense and stressed the hell out. I moved my hands down to his pants, undoing them. I didn't want to hold back and didn't want Paul holding back.

"Please… Be rough with me daddy…" I whispered into Paul's ear.

Paul's eyes devoured me as I stood to let my towel drop. He quickly undressed and bent me over. He grabbed around my waist, putting himself inside me. He gave me a minute to adjust to him before he started to thrust. He moved one of his big warm hands to my clit and rubbed small circles on it. I moaned and groaned at his movements. That seemed to turn him on as he did a deep, sexy growl at it.

I would say things like, 'Keep going daddy!' or 'That feels so nice!' Paul kept hitting my g-spot in this position. We were both about to climax, I gripped onto the counter practically screaming from the pleasure I was feeling. As soon as my orgasm came, I threw my head back. Then my whole body fell limp against Paul's nice, warm body. I couldn't move for a few minutes and I could feel Paul's smile as he looked at how much I squirted my juices all over him.

He grabbed a wash cloth out of the drawer and cleaned me up again. Then he helped me to stand up and turn to face him. I couldn't help but kiss him feverishly. I looked down at his naked crotch, before looking up at him. I smiled at him because he always found new ways to please me.

"You and your friend can always work wonders with me. You always leave me satisfied. Did you know that daddy?" I asked him.

Before he could answer, his face scrunched up. Like he was smelling something awful. I was confused about it at first. Then I quickly grabbed my towel and wrapped it around me. I ran to check on the kids in the bedroom. When I looked into the room, everything was to quiet and to still for my liking.

I slowly walked over to the crib. When I looked in, I was horrified to see my children were bleeding a little bit. Paul Samuel looked as if he had changed to protect his sister. Whatever he had fought against, he had won. He was bleeding pretty badly though. I screamed and turn to go get help. Paul stopped me before I could leave. He looked into the crib and found the same sight I did. He grabbed his son and took him to Sue Clearwater's place.

I stayed with Emily Colleen. Soon Emily and Sam had come over after they heard my screams. Emily saw how upset I was and came to hug me. Sam placed one of his hands on me as well. They tried comforting me until Paul got back with our son. When Paul came back smiling with our son in his arms, I smiled at them. I ran over to hug them both.

Over the next couple months after that, we learned that Leah had imprinted with our son and Embry with our daughter. Paul wasn't happy about the imprints at first, but he grew to get used to it. He wanted nothing but happiness for our kids. This gave us more time to have together. Since our kids had imprints, they were practically inseparable. Paul and I did our share as parents, but let the kids go with whoever they needed to. We wanted them to be happy like we were.

Paul and I had our first night alone together since the kids were born. We slept for a little bit. Then got up to eat and have a little fun of our own. Paul was really into it this time. We tried some different positions. Nothing felt as good as when we had done in the bathroom two months ago. So Paul, being the man he is, went back to that same position.

I loved feeling him hit my g-spot. He was rough with me while he did it. He'd whisper dirty things to me as he went on. I moaned and screamed for him. We kept going after we reached our climaxes. We were being animals tonight.

I didn't want to stop feeling him inside me. He didn't want me to stop getting tight around his member. He would sometimes play with my clit. This only made me scream out for him more. The night was never going to end. I would occasionally turn to kiss Paul in the heat of the moment. We would both tease each other a little too. Never in my life did I think I could go for hours like this.

We finally both gave out after having all the fun we could. It was nearly five in the morning when we went to sleep. I snuggled up to Paul, falling asleep with our bodies pressed together. I wrapped an arm around him and took in his wonderful scent. It was the best smell that I could possibly think of. It made me have sweet dreams of being together with him.

We woke up the next day around noon. Paul had time off from patrolling over the next couple of days. The kids would be with their imprints or at Emily and Sam's place for a while today. Everyone cared so much for our small family. We had a lot to be thankful for. There were so many people who cared about us and wanted to help us as much as they could.

When we woke up, Paul smelled food downstairs. I got up with him to go and see who was cooking the delightful smelling substance downstairs. Paul was already there and started eating. I walked down after getting dressed and smiled at him. I saw Emily in the kitchen, cleaning up the dishes she had dirtied. They both looked up to me, looking a little stunned. I looked back to them with a little bit of confusion on my face.

Then I thought about what I was wearing. The shirt was one of my old crop tops and my shorts were cut off right above mid-thigh, giving them a ripped jean look. I blushed a little as I hadn't wore something like this in a long time. I turned to go and change it, but Paul grabbed my arm lightly and pulled me to go and eat.

"You look gorgeous in that baby girl! I don't want you changing. I want people to see that wonderful figure of yours." Paul said sweetly.

I smiled and sat down to eat with Paul. After we were finished, I helped to clean up the rest of the kitchen. Then the kids were brought home to be fed. I stood at the counter holding each child in my arms. Paul stood in front of me and the kids as I still breastfed them. The guys came waltzing in, laughing at Paul being so protective of me. Seth, Sam and Jacob were the only ones who didn't make a joke about it.

Paul let out a growl at the ones who were making jokes. I glared at the guys from behind Paul. They had yet to see what I was wearing today. So When I was finished with the kids, Paul took them so I could readjust my shirt. I told Paul to put the kids in their play pen. I walked upstairs to grab my sketchbook and pencils. I sat at the kitchen counter drawing Paul and the kids. Then I went to drawing the imprints as they were sat around the living room.
