The Unknown

Chapter 9

As always I own nothing but the plot.

Jared and Edward sat on first beach watching the water neither knew what to say and Isa had Jared in her shield so he could think freely.

Edward chose to speak first cause to him the silence was deafening. "So how do you feel about all this?"

"I don't know, I mean all the legends that we heard say imprinting is for breeding a better generations but how can that be with two guys, but then again the legends say we were made to kill vampires, if that was the case why would the spirits allow a member of the tribe with the wolf gene and from the Alpha blood line on top of that get pregnant by a cold one? Renee says imprinting isn't about what stories say it's about finding your soul-mate, I guess she was right. Although now the whole pack knows I'm gay which was my biggest fear, I mean I grew up with Paul as a best friend the guy had more gay jokes than Vegas has addicts. I guess I was scared of losing them if they ever found out, I should have trusted them more, and never in my life was I so happy to be wrong." Jared finally let out a breath he hadn't realized he was holding.

"Yeah they could have reacted like my family; I mean I kind of understand Carlisle he was a preachers son as a human and was in training to take over his father's ministry that was why he never fed from humans because he didn't want to commit the ultimate sin, but he's been my father for over a hundred years I thought he would be glad I found my mate plus we're technically dead why does it matter if I'm gay or not, Esme is just glad I found my mate but she grew up not really having the same religious view as Carlisle, Emmett's just happy to be right, Alice and Jasper are happy I'm happy they don't care who it's with, and you already know how Isa feels and I consider her a little sister. So only ones that seem like they don't care if I'm happy or not as long as I'm not with a man is Rosalie which I knew she would be that way she doesn't like anyone happy including her-self and Carlisle which hurts like hell I thought at least I would have his support." Jared noticing his mate's distress pulled him close to his side.

"Well just look at it this way, one you finally saw their true colors, two you may feel like you lost 2 family member, but you gained a whole pack of brothers and 2 awesome sisters. I personally see the 2 lost a small price to pay for what you gained."

"I guess your right it's just like I said I thought my father would be different."

At the Cullen house with Cullen's and pack

Isa couldn't keep quiet watching Carlisle and Rosalie walking around with sour looks on their faces.

"You know Carlisle, I don't think you know this but a parent loves their child unconditionally, they support them, but then again you don't really love all of your kids do you. Some of them are just your fail safe for when you run in to trouble like now so you don't get your hands dirty right, I mean Alice can see trouble before it gets here so you can be a pussy and hide, and for when trouble gets to close or escapes Alice's sight then there's Edward the mind reader, and since you played your role so well he was a good little boy and told daddy everything he heard in some-one's mind and you could kiss their ass so they would go away and you would look like the noble diplomat you portray, but wait some-time's they do want to fight so what's better than your own attack dog the most feared vampire known to the world would do. I mean an opponent would have to be stupid to fuck with your coven once they heard about Major Whitlock being in your corner, and he served as a sponge to syphon off your access thirst we wouldn't want the good doctor to eat his patience instead of save them would we, so when-ever you couldn't get out to hunt you would push your thirst at him so you could keep your spotless record. You realized when he first joined your family that his gift would automatically absorb your covens thirst hell that's probably why you didn't turn him away at the door he could make sure you stayed perfect and every-time he killed some-one you blamed it on his savage past, but really when he slipped how long had it been since you hunted after those long shifts at the hospital with all that blood around, doing surgery having your patients' blood get on you knowing if you take have any you couldn't stop, it was like having a recovering alcoholic run a bar, all you wanted was just one taste but you couldn't so would come home push most of your thirst on Jasper then hunt. And while you had security in place you could have the all American family the successful career the loving doting beautiful house wife, the beautiful daughter that could be head cheerleader if she were human, than the loveable goofball who could be star quarter-back if he were human. From the out-side it was all perfect, but that's why your pissed about Edward and Jared they don't care what it looks like from the out-side and that pisses you off, why should he get his mate when you can't have yours, he gets to be with the man he loves while you're stuck playing closest confidant to yours, you can't have any-one know that your mate is a male to, cause that would destroy your image, and isn't convenient that Esme's mate has no problem playing your mates wife as long as she gets to see her. Is that why you never explained mating to your coven? Because all your lies would come out, like if Emmett and Rosalie were really mates she wouldn't be able to cause him physical pain like hitting him or taking his hand when he touches her car, and she would feel his emotional pain like when talks about never wanting to turned even though that's the only reason she found him. Esme would know that when-ever she touched her mate she would feel a spark like static electricity." She then turned to Esme. "Tell me Esme who do you feel a spark with?"

Esme looked wide eyed at Carlisle "Carmen is my mate and Eleazar is yours why would you do this?"

"You wouldn't understand my father always made sure I stayed on the right path I couldn't dishonor him that way."

"So you condemn us both to this long of un-happiness because you don't want to disappoint a man that's been dead for almost four centuries, I'm calling Denali now, telling them every-thing, and asking them to come down, we don't know what gifts these nomads have and I personally would like to have to many people then not enough."

Carlisle went to his study to think about what Esme said about seeking approval from a dead-man as well as what Isabella said about him sabotaging Jasper. He hadn't realized that Jasper's gift would affect him that way, he truly did love the young man like a son, the more he thought the more he realized he had a lot to make up for with a lot of people.
