Chapter 7
The pack follow behind but in formation with Sam at the front. When they heard the laughter of the cubs the wolves stopped and let the vampires go ahead. They watched as the little boys rush to meet them.
"There are two bonds." Sam sighed.
"Is that even possible. I thought he said they were his kids." Jared growled.
"Make that three." Paul whined.
Two sets of eyes snapped to Paul not that he noticed. They knew about imprinting but told it wouldn't happen until they came of age. Sam would be the first and was now ready to find his mate but as yet he hadn't. The elders had ordered that the shifters didn't date or encourage girls.
Jared and Sam followed Paul's gaze it could have been one of three people or rather two vampires and a cub.
"Try and block your thoughts and Paul don't phase we don't want to scare the cubs."
"I would never hurt him." Paul sighed.
"Your gay?"
"No I"m not fucking gay. I just.. I want to protect him, be a big brother."
"Least its not a leech." Jared snorted.
"Come we can't stay long the elders will notice soon enough we didn't go back to the rez."
The Cullen's were talking quietly to the others that hadn't been at the meeting. When they smelt the wolves getting closer the cubs were picked up except one who held Carlisle hand. No one moved for several minutes each group taking in the other. Jacob wiggled out of Alec's arms and walked slowly to Sam.
"Hello alpha."
"Hello alpha cub." Sam said getting down to Jacob's level. "My name is Sam and these are my pack brothers Jared and Paul."
"I'm Jacob Cullen those are my pack. But we just say family." Jacob smiled and looked at his pack brothers and waved them over.
Embry and Quil came over but Seth stayed in Rosalie's arms. It was taking everything Jasper had to keep her from running. Sending torrents of calming waves towards her. The cubs politely shook the older boys hands.
"Welcome home cubs. When you are ready you will be joining our pack Jacob you as rightful alpha will take your position when you are ready," Sam explained.
"How old are you. I'm six and so is Embry he is the oldest. Quil is four to turn five soon and Seth is the baby and he is three almost four."
"I'm sixteen and Jared and Paul are fourteen."
"You're so old." Quil stated.
The pack burst out laughing and agreed that they were indeed way old.
"Go to your family tomorrow you will come to the reservation and meet your blood families."
Sam stood and clicked his fingers. Jared and Paul stood and allowed the cubs to each give them a hug. Carlisle came forward and held out his hand to Sam.
"Thank you." Sam said before turning and running into the forest. Paul was the last to leave taking one last look at his imprint.
"Come we must return home." Carlisle said gathering all three boys up in his arms.
"I don't want to go. I want to stay with you. Why are you making us leave." Embry sobbed into Carlisle's chest.
"Embry you know that you don't belong with me when you have a mom and dad who love you. Aren't you excited to meet them. Maybe you have a little sister or brother."
"Will they let me come visit?"
"I don't know baby boy. I hope so." Carlisle kissed Embry's head.
"I will run away." Embry said matter-of-factly.
"Baby boy you have to listen to the elders and your parents. You have your cellphone and you can call me any time you like as long as it's not at school."
"Papa are you mad at me?" Jacob asked.
"No son I'm not mad. You have the right to get to know your real family."
"You are our real family. We just wanted to meet them not go back to them. We belong together. Tell them we have changed our minds." Jacob started crying.
"No Jacob this is where you belong with your pack." Carlisle tried to smile as he stroked Jacob's long hair.
"We belong here with you. Your our papa." he sniffed.
"Well I'm not leaving." Quil stood with his arms crossed. "Who will I play the piano with. Will they even have a piano?"
"If they don't I will make sure you get one Quilly." Edward smiled down at the cub.
"Come now children it's time for bed. You have a big day ahead of you tomorrow." The cubs reluctantly headed upstairs.
Edward laid beside Quil carding his hand through his hair. He had known the minute he laid eyes on the cub that they were destined to be together. Yet he was now going to be taken away from him. He loved all the cubs but Quil scent had called to him. He tried to stay away as much as possible to let the cub grow up and not think of him as his older brother. He had read Quil's thoughts and he knew that Quil loved him.
Across the hall Jacob was tossing and turning. He wondered if he could sneak his brothers out of the house and run away to their mother. She wouldn't let anyone take them away. But he quickly shunned the idea since she already chose Marcus over them. He missed her cookies and her cuddles though and would always think of her as his mommy just like Carlisle would always be his papa.
Embry was sound asleep his light snores warning Carlisle that he was coming down with a cold and would need to mention it to the elders tomorrow. He would miss his baby boy so much and hoped that he would get to see him grow up and become a fine man. He had a feeling that the small pack would somehow let that happen. But it wouldn't be the same not seeing his baby boy every day, taking in his wonderful scent. Holding him as he slept soundly protected in his arms. If he could cry he would be sobbing. He knew in his heart he was doing the right thing for the cubs but it hurt. He just hoped the cubs would one day understand that he did it for them.
Rosalie hadn't put her son down for a second since Carlisle had given her the news that the cubs were to be returned to their blood family. She wanted to run as far away as possible with her son. She believed that Carlisle had made a mistake and because of this she was losing the one thing she loved more than even her husband. Emmett tried to reason with her and make her put Seth down so he could rest comfortably. He hated seeing his mate in so much pain. Seth would never forget them he was sure of it. They would stay in contact no matter what the tribe elders say. Seth will always be their son. The one that they had loved for these few short years. He would always be Seth Cullen in his eyes. The apple of his eye.
Alec, Jasper and Alice stood in silence down below. Jasper had given up trying to take his families pain away. It was too strong and real that he let it be. They needed to feel the pain to grieve.
None of the vampires notice time slip by. All too soon it was morning and the cubs were awake. Seth didn't understand what was going on but knew his mommy and daddy were sad. He sat down at the breakfast table and watched them as they stared at him taking in every single detail of him. He would give them a big smile to make them happy. He couldn't wait to meet the big boys that the others had met yesterday. They looked nice and wondered if they would come play with him sometimes.
The three elder cubs didn't touch their food. Every now and again one of them would burst into tears. Clinging to their papa more than anyone else. Giving up on trying to get them to eat. Carlisle decided that they should all go for a walk. What he wasn't telling them that they were actually going to meet up with the elders and taken from them. Jasper put Embry on his back. He had given Carlisle the night with him but he too needed time with his favourite little guy.
When they came to the meeting place the cubs stopped and looked over at the adults that were looking at them strangely. The pack were in wolf form protecting the humans from the vampires as ordered. Carlisle stepped forward and nodded to the elder known as Billy Black, Jacob's father. Billy returned it without saying a word and looked at his son. He looked so like his Sarah it was painful. His twin daughters looked nothing like her at all. Anger boiled in his veins this tiny boy brought back painful memories he had hidden for so long.
"Well hand them over." Someone demanded.
"Please we want to know if we can keep in contact."
"Don't be ridiculous they are going to learn to destroy leeches like you. Now I suggest you leave our lands and never return."
"No we want to stay with them." Jacob said stepping forward and crossing his arms.
What he didn't know is that he had stepped over the treaty line. Someone grabbed him and pulled him further away his family unable to get to him without being destroyed.
"Please let us say good bye." Alice sobbed reaching out to Jacob her fingers a hairbreadth from the line.
"Get back leech."
"Enough Joshua. They have taken care of our children the least we can do is allow them to say goodbye." A lady said stepping forward. "Thank you for taking care of our little boy. Seth has a big sister waiting at home to meet him again."
Rosalie pressed Seth against her chest she looked the woman in the eye and saw the look of love for her son. A longing of her missing child she had only hoped to hold once again. Emmett's arm went around his wife's waist if he didn't he felt that they would fall to pieces. Rosalie put Seth on the forest floor and made him look at her.
"Sweetie you need to go to your mommy."
"You are my mommy silly." Seth giggled.
"Yes I am but you have another mommy and daddy it's time you go a be with them. Okay?" Rosalie wiped unshed tears from her cheek.
Seth turned around and looked at the nice looking lady with pretty hair like his mom's and the man that was standing beside her a smile on his face. They looked kind and happy. But his mommy and daddy looked so sad.
"I love you mommy." Seth threw his arms around Rosalie and held on tight.
"I love you to always." Rosalie could say no more. Emmett took his son from his wife's arms.
"Hey big fella. I want you to remember to be a good boy and do as you are told. Don't forget to brush those teeth morning and night." Seth nodded to his father before nuzzling into his neck. "Love you son."
"Love you too daddy." Emmett lowered Seth to the ground.
Each of the vampires gave Seth a hug and words of love. Carlisle was the last to hold his precious grandson as he had become to be thought as.
"Look after your big brothers for me okay?" Seth nodded. "Love you, now go. Be happy." he pushed Seth over the line.
Rosalie sobbed inconsolably in Emmett's arms. The silver wolf stepped up towards the reunited family and licked Seth's face taking the tears away. With one last look the wolf and the Clearwater's left the treaty line.
Quil was next he didn't say a word and stepped over the line he took a old man's hand and walked away. Edward fell to his knees it was like he had let the sun leave his life and the cub didn't even look back. He was so emotional he didn't hear the thoughts coming from the one who made him so happy.
Carlisle crouched down to Embry. "You can keep that one." Billy Black said.
"Excuse me?" Carlisle said standing up with Embry in his arms.
"He is a bastard child. He is not Quileute. He doesn't belong with our tribe. Come Jacob we have much to do." Billy took Jacob from the man who had been holding him and put him on his lap.
"I hate you." Jacob said hitting Billy in the chest. "You are a mean man and you are not my father."
Billy slapped Jacob over the head making the young boy see stars. The vampires hissed and got ready to attack not caring for their own safety. Jacob began to tremble violently Sam phased and pulled Jacob from Billy just as he phased. The once small boy was now a wolf he darted towards Carlisle who let go of Embry and picked him up.
"Give him back you fool. It is how we get them to shift. He will be now training. Jacob Black get here now." Billy growled.
Jacob bared his teeth at Billy. Sam shook his head. The elders had promised him that the cubs would not have to be forced to shift until it came naturally. He walked towards the new alpha of his pack and smiled at Jacob.
"You are a big cub. Welcome to my pack Jacob. Its time we leave. Say goodbye to your family. Prove to them what a big brave cub you are." Jacob whined. "I promise you that I will get them back to you Carlisle as soon as I can. Just please don't break the treaty I cannot defy the elders." Sam said so quietly that the human's couldn't' hear what was being said.
"Just grab him by the scruff of his neck. Show him who is alpha till he is ready to take his place." Billy snapped.
"Thank you Sam. If you or the others need anything let me know. I will leave a cellphone in the meadow in a hollow tree. You can contact me that way. Now go before you get into trouble." Carlisle kissed Jacob head.
In a clear voice he spoke to Jacob. "Listen to Sam son. He is your alpha now."
Jacob whined when Sam took him off Carlisle. Putting the cub on the ground he stepped back and shifted into his wolf. Jacob licked each of this family before going and standing on Sam's right. He was now beta of the pack until he took his rightful place as alpha. Tilting his head back he howled and took off after Sam. Jared winked at Carlisle before following his pack brothers.
"Come children." Carlisle picked up Embry and they raced home.
So any surprises there? Anyone require tissues. It broke my heart writing Rosalie and Emmett's farewell to their little Seth.
Please leave me your thoughts. In other words review ;)
