Thank you for reading and reviewing, the reviews really spur me on to write more, so thanks!

I walked inside with Rachel and Paul as Nessie turned off the hose and sprinklers. The house was covered in water and there was evidence of what looked like two kids had run through the house. Rachel gasped.
"You cleaned your house and now it is a bomb site again." She said, moving her pregnant belly around to straighten the sofa up. Paul hovered behind her, as if her would pick her up and run to the nearest hospital if she felt the slightest nudge in her stomach.
Wolves act differently when the imprint is pregnant. They have a feeling from two weeks, like they know something is off but they know it is something good. They then become incredibly protective; Paul hardly lets Rachel do anything, which is why I feel sorry for Sarah because she has to eat Paul's terrible cooking. When she gets into the later stages, a wolf will not allow any man near his mate, any danger and I'm surprised Paul lets her out to see me.
The children of imprints were also extremely protected by the fathers. I doubt Paul will let many boys near Sarah when she is older. He is okay with Sam's son Cole playing with Sarah but if he got too rough for Paul's liking, he would come in and scoop Sarah up and hold her close to him.
Sarah was now jumping in the puddles in the living room. I smiled at her, I had never really spent much time with her, Rachel never really brought her over, and she would have been the day before to clean if she ever did. I regretted pulling away from my family. They could have tried to help me; I could have focused on them to take some of the pain away.
I had Blacks Mechanics, but I had no one to come home to. I could have been a good uncle to Sarah; I was called Uncle Jake by all the little kids. I could have been better to them and been a better Alpha to my pack. I could have done a lot of things, but I didn't.
Being without Nessie was too hard. And I couldn't cope with it.
Paul scooped Sarah up as soon as Nessie entered the house. He was watching his wife and Nessie very carefully. Like Nessie was going to leap and attack his wife and his child.
Nessie noticed his discomfort, and brushed past my back and upstairs. I lightly growled at him, a warning for him to stop it. Even though Paul was older than me and my brother in law, he still was under my control as Alpha of the pack and he shouldn't be making my imprint uncomfortable or threatened.
"So, Nessie is back now?" Rachel asked me. "You know, for good? Are the Cullen's here?" Her voice picked up at the end. She got on well with Esme and the girls. Everyone got on well with Esme, no matter how much you hated Vampires, her lovely motherly smile and her home baking could get a hardened prison thug to turn into a mama's boy.
I looked toward the stairs and heard Nessie moving around in her room. "I don't know if she's back for good. She just needs me at the moment. And no, the Cullen's aren't with her." I told Rachel.
Rachel dipped her head and then sat on the sofa, complaining once that it was wet. Nessie had thrown water over me in the living room, and then giggled running back into the kitchen. I smiled and the sound of her laughter in my head, like a beautiful tune that I would never tire of hearing.
Paul sat with his daughter on his knee and Rachel by his side, still looking uncomfortable with having Nessie within the house. Nessie may have been half vampire but I knew she would never hurt a soul.

Being around humans was harder than being around Jake. It was hard being around Charlie last night and now Rachel, the little girl and the little unborn baby within Rachel, with their strong heart beats was making me thirsty.
I had to get over Nahuels conditioning of my thirst soon. I'd been without human blood for a year; I could last on animal and hopefully soon be able to survive on only human food. I just have to live with the burn for a while. I'll go out and grab a grizzly later today.
I grabbed some towels from the bathroom, the ones that hadn't been soaked due to mine and Jakes water fight. I hadn't smiled that much since I last saw Adrian.
Adrian was my best friend, but I hoped I could bring mine and Jakes relationship back up to our old standard. I want to be his best friend again. I know I couldn't demote Adrian though. Adrian was like a brother to me, that's why when we dated we never had sex because we felt so awkward when we tried to do anything remotely sexual.
Making out was awkward. We never got anywhere near sex.
Noah (Adrian's half brother) said we were like an old married couple, all the parts of a relationship but without the perks of sex. We decided our relationship wasn't right, we had a two hour talk and we cried but then decided it was for the best.
And that's when I met Nahuel again. I had known him from my brief childhood. I was glad Adrian came that weekend to see me; he got me out of that relationship, he had helped me train to live on animal blood again. That's why I got my tattoo, to remind myself that Adrian was only a phone call away and if I wanted to talk to him or for him to come and get me from dangerous situations.
I walked into the living room and Paul had seemed to collect his family onto one of the sofas, as if to move them away from me. I don't blame him. I used to sit on Jakes knee when I was little and just drink from his wrist whenever I was thirsty.
I threw Jake a towel and started rubbing my hair with my own towel and sat on the sofa furthest away from Paul, Rachel and their little girl. Jake came and sat down next to me. He shook his hair in my direction and I shoved his shoulder playfully.
"So Renesmee⦠You, err, grew up." Rachel said, rubbing her belly absentmindedly.
"Yeah, it's in the genes." I replied.
Jake put his hand on my knee to show he was supporting me. But I jumped, from the electric jumping onto my skin. Jake quickly retracted his hand. He rubbed his feet on the carpet and I had gotten the shock from it. I grabbed his hand and dealt with the hum of electricity, it must have had to do with his temperature.
Paul kept looking at me like he was going to jump and attack me if I even stepped close to his wife and child. The little girl was staring at me, her little brown eyes wide and curious. She had to be one of the most adorable toddlers I had ever seen. Her hair was in pigtails with little pink scrunches. Her russet skin was flawless and she was beautiful.
"What's your name sweetie?" I asked, her, looking in her direction with a smile on my face, trying to look non-threatening.
"Swarah Lahote." She replied clutching the tiny doll she was carrying to her chest. She was smiling and started giggling, "Are you my uncle Jakes girlfriend?"
I choked in shock and coughed. Me and Jake? Jake was my best friend, my protector and not my boyfriend.
"No sweetie, Nessie is my friend." Jake said, taking his hand away from mine and putting it on his knee. He then moved away from me.
Was I repulsive? I mean, he didn't mind when I landed on top of him. He actually held me somewhat tighter then he had before. To be honest, I thought he was going to kiss me, there was so much tension between us in that moment, but I guess it wasn't going to happen.
Jake wouldn't want a 'kid' like me. I mean, to him, I was a sister, like Rachel and Rebecca, not a viable sexual partner.

Why couldn't I call her my girlfriend?
Why did Sarah have to bring it up?
Nessie seemed like it was the last thing she ever wanted to be. The mere thought of even being called my girlfriend made her choke.
It was repulsing to her. I'm not going to lie, it made my heart break.
What if she never wanted to be my girlfriend? What if she found some vampire and married him and had little vampire babies and left me behind here, where I would die alone?
Stop it you pussy! You need to pull your self together! Nessie is not Bella! She is her own person. Her own perfect person.
Paul looked at me with an apologetic smile before telling his daughter: "Nessie is Uncle Jakes best friend. She had been away for a long time but she might be staying for a while."
Nessie shifted in her seat. "Hopefully." She said. I turned to her and saw her looking at her hands which were grasped together on her knee.
"You are staying, aren't you?" I asked, worried that she would leave.
We hadn't discussed if her being here would last. I didn't know if she would just leave without me, again. She had friends and family in other parts of the world.
But she came here. Any place in the world she could go, she chose to come to La Push. She could be in Alaska or Romania, or Ireland or Egypt, or she could be a nomad, but she chose to come to me. She said she was told to go where she felt safe and she came here. To me.
I made her feel safe.
"If circumstances don't change then yes, I will stay." Nessie said to me before turning her eyes to Paul slightly. "But if it makes people uncomfortable for me to stay here, then I will go. I have friends in New York."
New York? I remembered no vampires who the Cullen's knew in New York. She came from New York. She bought a car there. She drove from New York.
Who lived in New York?
"I don't find it uncomfortable." Rachel told Nessie, when Paul growled slightly she hit him. "And I'm sure Paul doesn't either."
Once I and Paul phased together, and according to Pack schedule, that would be tomorrow, I will tell him to back the fuck off. Nessie was no danger to him or his family. She lasted in a house with two humans yesterday, plus me, Leah and Seth.
Nessie wasn't a killer.

I could really do with some blood right now.
I hadn't been able to drink on the way here; I thought I would go today. Five heart beats where too much but I had to deal with it. I wanted them to accept me. I wanted to be a part of his community.
I wonder if Jake would mind coming hunting with me.
I would most likely be watched anyway. It seemed like Paul was expecting me to leap over and tear Sarah and Rachel apart with my teeth as I made him watch.
It was obvious he didn't want me here. Rachel may say he does but I knew he didn't.
Some of Adrian's family didn't trust me. Those who got to know me said that they were wrong to judge me but it was because of who and what I was.
A lot of covens were sceptical on keeping me, they were sure that the Volturi would attack and the fact that I had a beating heart and they were forbidden from killing me, which some didn't listen to. Some tried to use me as a blood bank. One convinced me that it was okay.
My hand went up to my neck and I felt the scars on the back of my neck, a shiver ran through me. I would never go back to him. Adrian saved me from him.
The scars would soon fully fade, now they had no angry red colour but there were still raised crescents that would remind me that I was never safe with Nahuel, that I needed to be with people I knew for more than a month, and I needed to be with family.
Jake was family. Jake is family.
"Are you okay Ness?" Jake whispered.
I nodded and smiled, not realising that my smile had fallen. I took my hand away from the back of my neck and repositioned my hair so that Jake couldn't see. I barely let Adrian see to them. I cried when Carlisle treated them. Esme held me and whispered that everything would be okay. I tried to believe her and three month later, they were gone and Adrian told me to go to La Push.
Rachel groaned slightly and rubbed her stomach, then pushed herself up: "Baby is squeezing on my bladder so I am going to go to the toilet. Oh the perks of being pregnant."
Paul put Sarah down and then followed his wife, helping her up the stairs. She must struggle to walk up the stairs with her big belly.
Sarah pushed herself off the sofa and then toddled her way over to me. She thrust her doll in my face and said: "Dolly finks you're the pwettiest person she ever swaw."
I smiled and knelt down on the floor next to her. "Well thank you Dolly. You want me to tell you a secret?" Sarah made her doll nod and I couldn't help my smile get wider. "I think Sarah is the prettiest little girl I have ever seen."
Sarah smiled and giggled, wrapping her arms around me.

Nessie was so good with Sarah.
When she has your litter, she'll be even better. And I plan for you to have so many kids because making them is fun.
Shut up!
That side of my brain brought anything with Nessie; even the most innocent thoughts about her were being drawn back to sex. Sex with her.
Even the thought gave me a semi, which was wrong. Nessie was making my little niece smile. She was good with kids.
There was nothing sexual about it.
God, I'm such a pervert.
Nessie smiled at me from over Sarah shoulder and I had to shift my legs so she couldn't see my hard on.
Such a sick, sick pervert.
My wolf brain replied with a quick: You love it.
Thanks for reading and tell me what you think in the reviews!
