Sam's Point of View

Tears filled my eyes, and pain stabbed furiously at my heart as I gazed down at the letter and picture in my hands. Lightly I stroked the picture of my children's smiling faces in their Christmas picture.

Not my children…I guess I couldn't think that way… I wasn't there to help raise them and support them… they had Bella… and Edward. I hated the thought that the position that should have been mine was already taken… What I would have given to be in Edward's shoes.

But I had a hope of my own growing now. It was the only thing keeping me going at this point in time. Until I would finally get out… she helped me look ahead to the future, and set my goals at making a real life for myself. I would pay for my crimes, and hopefully return to a normal life… and at the same time I will do my best to help Bella from a distance… I'll do anything to give a good life to the children.

Slowly, I taped the picture to the wall, and stuck the note under my pillow.

I would have to write her back when I was allowed to have a paper, and pencil.

The guards opened my cell quickly, a scowl on their face. "You got a visitor, get going." They gave me a sinister look. This didn't put me at ease, even though I knew exactly who was visiting me, and I knew I would have nothing to worry about… but still the chances of Jacob coming, and killing me crossed my mind often.

As I walked down to the private visiting room, I smiled as I took in Leah, standing before me. She has came here to visit me every Saturday morning, and we usually would stay in this room and talk until visiting hours were over.

I quickly wrapped my arms around her, pressing her close to me. She wrapped her arms around my neck, gazing up a me, and with a leap coming to my heart she pressed her warm lips to mine.

I would never understand why she out of all the women in my life would welcome me back, and forgive me so easily for the things I have done. Emily… my own imprint couldn't deal with that… and Bella… I don't know… she is too afraid of me… and doesn't know me well enough to trust me ever… I didn't blame her. I felt horrible.

"So did they tell you when you would be released?" She wondered as we pulled apart, taking a seat.

I nodded, heaving a sigh. "Seven more years to go." I muttered, my eyes going down to where my hands laid on the table. Her hands went over mine, bringing my attention back to her eyes.

"I'll wait for you." She said quietly. "Even if it took forever."

This was what I held onto. That I did have a future outside of this jail. I would get my life back… and from that point on I would never touch another beer in my life. I would get my life back in order, and do my best for her.

Bella's Point of View

Christmas day came much too soon for me. It was always a forgotten holiday when I lived in Arizona with Rene. But here at Forks it was a big deal to Charlie, he had invited some La Push locals, some of his deputies, some relatives, it was a huge event.

All the people crammed together in our little house, it made things a little uncomfortable, but Edward and I managed to keep to ourselves in the corner by the fireplace.

Zander had fallen asleep with Charlie on the sofa while watching the baseball game. And Kylie was laying by my feet on her blanket, nodding in and out of consciousness.

Jacob, and some of his pack had showed up as well, they ate just about all we had. But surprisingly Jacob had been behaving all day. He didn't say one back thing about the twins. He was nothing but smiles and jokes, just like how he used to be. I even caught him playing with Zander a few times.

It was amazing progress, but I wasn't sure if he was being really this ok with everything… or… what…

"Well, I'm stuffed; the grub was great Bells, as usual." Jacob said spread out on the floor with a yawn, glancing up at me, his eyes going right to mine, and peering at me.

I cringed slightly by this sudden stare off, and frowned just slightly, uncomfortable. "Um, thanks Jake,"

Jacob's face puckered slightly, raising a brow, and then shaking his head, heaving a heavy sigh. "Right… any time."

Now he was acting strange.

Paul entered the room, throwing a glare towards Edward for a moment, before turning to Jacob. "Shouldn't we be going, we have protrols to run?" Paul said quietly.

Jacob snorted, shifting slightly in his place, but he appeared to be getting comfortable in his position. "Relax Paul we'll leave soon,"

Paul rolled his eyes, and sighed; he went to turn to leave but paused as Kylie made a cooing sound. Paul's eyes slowly went to Kylie, and suddenly I saw something flash in his eyes. It warmed his entire expression, and for a fraction of a second I swore that I saw a smile creep on his face.

But in seconds the smile was gone. And anger replaced every other emotion on his face. "Fuck," He spit, and turned sharply from us, storming out of the room, and out the door.

Jacob burst into laughter, standing up.

"What was that all about?" I asked, frowning, slightly bothered that he had swore in front of the children.

"Don't worry, I'll explain everything, I'll be right back, I better go calm the asshole down before he gets himself all worked up." Jacob said shaking his head, amusement was clear in his eyes as he left without another word.

I now looked to Edward, hoping that he would be able to shed some light to this situation.

Edward's body was tense, and his expression was nothing but serious, and almost bitter. This worried me.

"What happened, why did Paul freak out like that?" I asked, lightly placing my hand on his. He didn't move, and didn't show any hint of answering that, but slowly words came sliding from his lips.

"Paul, imprinted on Kylie,"

…

Please Review?

What do you all think of that imprint?

I'm personally a very big Paul fan, and I was hoping out of all the wolves this pairing would be the best.
