Claire's pov

Quil timidly an slowly sat next to me, As soon as he did I instantly snuggled against his side. He glanced down at me and raised an eyebrow.

"What I'm cold." I said, trying to defend my reasoning.

" Ok Claire, whatever you say." Quil replied with a little smirk on his face.

I rolled my eyes and looked back at the screen to see a young Matthew Mconahay playing Wooderson in Dazed and Confused. The last thing I remember was when the boys were climbing up to the top of the moon tower. I guess I fell asleep because the next thing I knew I woke up in Quil's bed, with him in it next to me. Not touching. AT ALL! I got out of bed, and went and sat on his lap. I leaned in and whispered in his ear.

" Wake up Quilly."

He stirred, but didn't wake up, so I kissed him lightly on the cheek. At this he jumped up, which made me fall on the floor.

" Dammit Quil," I shouted

At that I heard footsteps thundering down the hallway.

" What happened," Embry asked frantically

" Quil made me fall!' I yelled, with a hint of laughter in my voice.

Embry just shook his head, laughed, and walked out closing the door behind him.

" Oh. My. God. Claire I am so so so sorry Claire-Bear!" Quil said looking like he was about to cry.

"It's fine Quil. I am really ok. Didn't even hurt."

"You sure Claire?" asked Quil

" yes, but can I give you something?" I said kind of shyly

" uhm, yea sure you can Claire." he replied.

I stepped forward, and I was right in front of him. I stood on my tip toes. Just as I was about to kiss him he stepped back.

"Claire, I don't think we're ready for that yet. You're still to young." he said.

" OH. MY. GOD! I am turning sixteen in less than a week! For fucks sake Quil Ateara! I am not a little kid anymore. You imprinted on me! That means we're meant to be together dammit!" I screamed

Quil just stood there looking surprised at my outburst. I didn't give him a chance to reply. I went to the living room, slipped on my shoes, grabbed my book bag and headed out the door.

I walked the fifteen minute walk to my home, and came in. As usual most of the pack was there. There was of course Aunt Emily and Uncle Sam. Next was Uncle Jared and Aunt Kim. I walked passed the kitchen and went into the living room. Uncle Paul was sitting in the armchair with Auntie Rachel in his lap. Gabi, there three year old daughter was on the floor playing with Seth.

As I sat there watching the two I saw a look of adoration flash through Seth's eyes. I couldn't help but wonder if that was how Quil had looked at me. I also couldn't help but think back to the day that Gabi was born.

~flashback~

The entire pack had been gathered in the waiting room for hours before Paul finally came in and announced that the baby had been born. Paul announced that his daughter Gabriella Danielle Meraz was 21 and a half inches and 7 lbs 8 ounces.

"Awww Paul can we see her?" I asked

"sure but we have to do so groups of no greater than 5." Paul replied

The first group to go was Uncle Sam and Aunt Emily, Jared and Kim, and Embry. They were in the back for about ten minutes then Collin, Brady, Leah, Jake and Nessie went in. They came out in a shorter amount of time. Just as they were coming out Dani came sprinting into the room.

"Sorry I'm late guys! I had Saturday school. Has she been born yet? What's her name?

Paul walked over to her and put his hands on her shoulders to come her down.

"Yes Danielle she was born. She is beautiful and looks like Rachel. Well she has my eyes but that's about it. Oh, and her name is Gabriella Danielle Meraz."

"Yall named her middle name after me!"

"of course sissy."

"aww bubba thank you soo much!"

They shared a hug, then Seth, Dani, Quil and I went in. I went up to the baby first, and held her. Next was Dani who held her for ever. Quil just looked at her because he was scared that he would break her. Last was Seth…

He took her in his arms and looked down into her face. I saw it as soon as he looked in her eyes. He had imprinted on Paul's daughter!

Seth knew that he was in for it. He kissed her forehead, and gave her to Rachel. He looked at Paul who had annoyance in his eyes. We all stepped into the hallway and Paul let loose.

"On my daughter," Paul said with an icy chill to his voice, and a glare on his face.

"I'm sorry man, I can't control it." Seth replied

Paul looked at him and punched him in the arm.

"sorry dude, had to get my anger out." Paul said with a laugh

"whatever man," Seth laughed

We all walked out into the waiting room, and told all the pack what had happened.

Everyone was ecstatic for Seth. We all gathered up and went to go eat at the diner leaving the new family by themselves for a little while.

~end flashback~

By the time I came back to reality, Alex was laying on the couch. I grabbed his feet and threw them off the couch. I then sat down. No sooner had I sat, when Lexia came and sat on my lap.

"Hey Lex, where's Anya?" I asked her

"she had to baby sit Nathan today, she said I could come, but I wanted to see Gabs." She replied

I nodded my head and sat back. When Anya imprinted on Lex about six months ago, everyone had been surprised. Especially Anya. She had never really liked girls before. She accepted it though and she and Lex became the best of friends. Lexia had no idea that Anya had imprinted on her. We all hoped that when she was around 15-16 that she would accept the imprint.

I looked around the living room and found everyone in here. Paul and Rachel were still in the chair, while Alex, Levi and I were on the couch. Me with Lex in my lap. Uncle Sam was in his recliner with Aunt Emily in his lap. Seth and Gabi were still in the floor along with Jared, Kim, Leah, Dani, Jake, Nessie, and Embry. Just as uncle Sam was about to start talking Natalie ran down the stairs.

"guess what guys," she said

There was a chorus of whats.

" Auntie Emily and uncle Sam gave me permission to live here so I am!' she said with a huge grin.

Everyone was really happy, and that was when Quil, Collin, and Brady walked into.

"What's goin on?" asked Collin.

We quickly caught them up, and the party was turned into complete seriousness when uncle Sam said something/

" Nat, we need to tell you something, but you can tell absolutely no one…."
