Authors Notes
I made a mistake with the last chapter, it should have been chapter six and not seven, it was probably because I was typing it at four in the morning, so I apologise for that. As always all canon belongs to Stephenie Meyer all I own, is a couple of distraught twins, and a very young and scared wolf who doesn't understand women/girls. This whole story is dedicated to a 15 year old English girl called Alice Pyne, who is suffering from cancer, and is all over the news in the UK see my profile for the link to her blog.
Chapter Seven (No really it is chapter Seven this time)
RPOV
Jacob and I arrived back at our home at three the next morning, Emily had taken the girls so we could enjoy ourselves and have some fun, she text my cell phone at eight and said that she was going to keep the girls over night so we could let our hair down, so to speak. Anyway we arrived home at three, and carried the party on. There was no neighbours to worry about so Emmett and Alice cranked the music up, and we danced around the living room having so much fun. Jacob zoned out after about an hour, he had been so tired lately after running patrols so much. I went into the den where I had spent a lot of my time recently to find him fast asleep on the floor, curled into a ball, he hadn't phased or anything he must have just sat down and fell asleep. He looked so peaceful I decided not to disturb him. Instead I went into the other room and politely asked everyone if they minded leaving as Jacob had fallen asleep. Obviously they didn't mind and a few minutes later they had all left leaving me alone with a rattling house as Jacob had started to snore deeply. I decided to clean the house, I was feeling very wide awake for some reason, and cleaning the house was bound to deplete my energy so I could go to bed. I turned down the music to just background noise, and started to go around with the dust rag, bleach, mop and brush. Cleaning my home always satisfied me greatly, and when I had finished the job I looked around proudly at the home I had made with Jacob. Our home was a three story detached house, with a porch that wrapped around the whole of the ground floor. It had five bedrooms, three reception rooms, one kitchen/diner, one formal dining room with a table that seated twelve people, a den and a playroom for the children. Downstairs in the basement was set up as a games room and it had a room off to the side set up as an office for Jacob that he used for all the paperwork he couldn't store in the garage down at La Push.
I heard a noise behind me and turned around to see my Jacob standing there rubbing his eyes sleepily. He smiled sheepishly at me and motioned for me to come over to him. I walked over and he took me in his arms. Suddenly I felt myself drop, and before I could even get near the floor he had lifted me into his arms and started heading towards the stairs to our bedroom. Once in there he laid me down on the bed, and started to kiss me all over my face. I showed him how much I loved him through pictures in our heads, remembering every moment we had spent together throughout my whole life. I wanted to show him everything that we had been through and how we had survived every moment because we were together. After about half an hour of my pictures in his head I must have felt so relaxed that I simply fell asleep, only to be woken at nine the next morning with a telephone call from Sarah. Sometimes I wish that I hadn't taught her how to use a phone.
'Momma, can you come to get us please?' She asked me sweetly.
'Sarah, baby what's wrong, I thought you wanted to stay with Emily for the whole day? I asked her.
'Momma, just please come get us, Lici doesn't want to stay here, she keeps crying.' She said with a small voice, so small I could hardly hear her properly. 'She keeps saying something about a boy called Jamie. Emily said he's special like dadda, but she won't say anything else.' Sarah finished with a little whimper. Being a twin she could feel everything her sister felt.
'Alright sweetheart, dadda and I will be there soon, don't worry about anything.' I said to my daughter who was obviously distraught that there was a problem with her sister that she couldn't fix.
Jacob was awake next to me and had heard the conversation, I looked at him slightly shocked, knowing before he even spoke what this meant, our daughter had met the newest and youngest wolf in the pack, twelve year old Jamie, and he had imprinted on her. We didn't know if our daughter had reciprocated. But by the sound of it Sarah didn't like what had happened to her sister.
'We have to get down there Jacob, Alicia doesn't know what she is feeling, neither of them understand what imprinting means. I don't think that Emily wants to explain it to them without us both being there.' I said to him.
'I know Ness, phone Emily on her cell, tell her we're on our way to their house, I need to speak to Sam about this, I know I'm Alpha of the pack, but this is too much for me to handle alone, he's only twelve, he shouldn't be imprinting this early. He was ten when he phased for the first time, they are getting younger and younger every time. There is another boy who is showing signs of phasing you can fry an egg on his forehead, but he is only nine. I don't understand why all of them are phasing I think this calls for a tribal meeting of all the elders and wolves. Maybe your family need to come as well. I'll talk it over with Sam after we've sorted the girls out.' He finished.
I got out of bed and took the phone over to my walk-in closet, and while I was getting dressed I phoned Emily to tell her that we were both coming to her house to sort out the girls. After I had finished on the phone I ran back to the bedroom and through to the en suite bathroom to brush my teeth and hair and do everything else I needed to do. Jacob was already in there, I could tell looking at him in the mirror that he was worrying about too much, the frown lines on his forehead had returned. I hadn't seen those frown lines for a very long time. Both of us had finished and we ran down the stairs and out of the front door, the doors to the garage were already open so we ran into it and got into my car, the car that I my parents had bought for my last birthday my cherry red Mercedes Benz. Fifteen minutes later we pulled up outside Emily's cottage deep in the heart of La Push. Sarah and Alicia were sitting on the porch, Alicia's face was red raw and streaked with tears, her eyes blood shot and Sarah, sitting next to her with her arm around her and trying to soothe her sister as best as she could. I sat down next to them, and lifted Alicia onto my lap. She buried her head into my neck and started to show me what had happened. I watched in my mind intently at everything that had happened that morning and last night when Emily had brought them here. Looking at Jacob, I nodded slightly to tell him that what we had thought was true, our five month old daughter and Jamie had imprinted on each other. She was terrified, both Alicia and Jamie were they didn't understand what was happening to themselves. I realised now what my mom must have felt when she found out that Jacob had imprinted on me but at least my daughter wasn't less than an hour old, like I was when it happened to Jacob and I.
After calming my two daughters down, I followed Jacob into the cottage, Emily was standing behind the kitchen counter making a mountain of food for the pack like always, already on the counter top was plates of muffins, pancakes with a bottle of maple syrup, bacon, sausage and toast. She was mixing a bowl of eggs Probably for omelettes. Jacob was sitting at the table with Sam, Embry, Quil and Seth talking quietly I walked over to them and sat down next to Jacob. He took hold of my hand and I quietly told him in my own way that the girls were fine, playing outside and that they had both calmed down. I also told him that we would need to explain everything to them when we got home. They needed to know everything about wolves, imprinting and everything else supernatural in their lives that they did not know about. I had decided last night that I needed to tell them about the bad vampires who didn't like me, the Volturi, I hate that word. The Volturi had wanted me dead when I was around the same age as our girls, hopefully they would never find out that I now had children of my own, because they would want the same fate for them that they had planned for me when I was a baby.
After we had talked to Sam and Emily about everything, we collected the girls from outside and drove straight to the main house, my father knew we were coming because I had spoken to him in my mind, the whole family knew what we needed and they were all gathered around the dining table waiting for us. We sat down sitting one of the girls on our knees, and my dad began to talk.
'Alicia, Sarah, you both know about who we are and our need to remain inconspicuous in the mortal world. You both know about good vegetarian vampires like our family, but you need to know about the other vampires in the world, ganpa is going to tell you all about them in his study later, he is going to show you pictures of the other vampires, and sometime throughout your life you may get to meet all of our other friends and family from other parts of the world, not just the ones who were here for your party yesterday.' My dad finished talking.
'Before you have a little chat with you ganpa though girls, your momma and I need to talk to you about what happened today in Sam and Emily's house. Can you explain to us Lici baby or do you want Sarah to tell us?' Jacob asked our daughter.
'I'll tell you dadda, but if I start crying again then Sarah can finish for me, she knows everything about it.' Alicia stated to us all.
'Last night' she started. 'When we got to Emily's house, a girl called Maria was looking after the children. After we had been there for a little bit this girl's brother turned up. I wasn't there at that point, I was in the bathroom. When I came out of the bathroom in my night clothes, this boy looked at me, and it was like my whole world had just gone poof up in smoke. It was really strange, I didn't understand it. Sam saw what had happened, and told Jamie to walk his sister home,and not to come back. I got really upset.' She paused for a little while to gather herself up, then carried on with a small sniffle, I could tell she was getting upset. 'Anyway, when Sam and Emily thought we were asleep I heard them talking and I heard Sam say the word imprinting, and that it was like you and momma all over again. I didn't understand what they were talking about, so I went in and said that I couldn't sleep, and started to ask them some questions about what I overheard. They wouldn't answer my questions, so Emily made me a hot drink and sent me back to bed. Then I had a dream about William, he was older than me in my dream and he explained everything to me. He said that dadda is part of a tribe where people turn into wolves to protect humans from bad vampires, not our family but really bad vampires that live off human blood, and that these wolves need people to love for the rest of their lives, a soul mate. I asked him what a soul mate was and he said that a soul mate is a person who loves you for everything that you are and will never leave your side, they will be whatever you need them to be. He said that dadda is momma's soul mate and he explained what imprinting means. He said that when a wolf man imprints on a girl they will be their protector, brother or anything else even a husband or a father figure to that girl for their whole existance in this world. He said that this is what happened last night, that Jamie had imprinted on me and me on him, because I have the wolf gene in me, but I will not become a wolf when I am big, he said that Jamie is a wolf and that he will be there for me whenever I need him. This really upset me and when I got up this morning, I asked Emily and Sam if I could see Jamie and they said that I couldn't and that's why Sarah phoned you this morning momma, because I was so upset that I couldn't see Jamie.' Sarah finished and wiped the drifting tears away from her face.
Jacob and I looked at each other and realised that our children were growing up even though they were only a few months old, in human years they talked and acted like grown up people, so advanced for their small age. Our little girl had imprinted with a wolf, she understood what had happened and accepted that her life would never be the same again, she knew what was expected of her and she embraced it with open arms. I knew that Alicia would experience what I had had with Jacob all these years, and that Jamie would be there forever for our little angel.
We decided that enough was enough, they had both had enough for one day, and I wanted to take them home, so my grandpa Carlisle said he would have his chat with the girls tomorrow, we stood up and made our way out to the car. On the way home the girls fell asleep, and I placed my hand on Jacob's hand, I told him that if the girls woke up that he should phone Jamie on his cell and tell hi, to come over so I could talk to him, I wanted to do this properly, I wanted to meet the boy I could now call my future son in law.
We arrived home, slowly and quietly we lifted the girls from the car, and gently took them upstairs to their nursery. We put them to bed and quietly closed the door. Going downstairs I said to Jacob 'Call him now, so he'll be here when she wakes up, you'd best call Sam as well and tell him what the girls know, now you will have to have that meeting won't you?' I sighed as Jacob continued down the stairs to his office, and I went to the family room, I sat down on the sofa and closed my eyes reflecting on everything that had happened, silently crying as I realised that my children where growing up far to quickly. I now knew how my own parents had felt throughout my whole seven year childhood.
