Okay so fail on my part about the lack of updating. School melted my brain, the 2 weeks leading up to finals were hell and this week was too. I will try my best to whip out another chapter over the weekend.

Anyways thanks for the reviews, alerts, and faves, I really appreciate them!

Also, all my OC names both first and last, minus Lou, Anne, Nick, Jamie, and Alyssa, have been taken from Tara Janzen's Crazy/Loose series, which are great books. The personalities however are all mine!

…Still don't own anything Twilight related.

Last Time in Lily POV:

"It was very sweet mother, and yes he seemed like a nice guy. I'll be sure to take him up on the offer." As I said this, my mother had a very self-satisfying grin on her face. "Well I have some things to do in my room so I'll see you later."

"Sure thing honey. I told you that this dinner wasn't going to be a bad thing." That's my mother, always wanting the last word.

I headed up the stairs, and I couldn't help but hope that Paul would text me soon.

Paul POV

As I was walking to my car I was really trying hard not to start skipping. I couldn't believe that I had just imprinted on Quinn and Lou's granddaughter. To think that I had wanted to avoid her because of Lou's not so subtle hints before her heart attack.

She seemed a little shy at first, but looking back on the last 2 hours, I couldn't help but laugh at some of her outspoken moments. I liked that she wasn't so loud and in your face, but is passionate about her interests. I seriously thought the whole family was going to kick my ass when I said I was a Red Sox fan.

That's another thing, my imprint likes sports? How lucky can a guy get? Apparently pretty damn lucky in my opinion. So thank you Taha Aki and fate, and whoever else had a hand in bringing me to Lily Hawkins.

I started automatically driving to Sam and Emily's house before I realized that I wanted Leah to be the first to know that I had imprinted. Changing my direction towards Leah and Creed's place, I thought back to when Leah had burst into my house to tell me she had imprinted.

(FLASHBACK)

"PAUL! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!" Leah shouted up the stairs as the door she just burst through hit the wall.

"Mother fuc-", I started to swear as I fell out of my bed, startled at how loud Leah was. Although Leah knew I read them, I certainly didn't want to be caught red-handed by her, so I put Harry Potter and the Prisoner of Azkaban inside my desk and hurried downstairs.

"Yes Princess? Is there a reason you decided to grace me with your presence?" I couldn't help but ask sarcastically. Looking at her she seemed pretty amped up, I don't think we are under attack by another army of leeches, and Leah isn't one for dramatics, what else could be going on? Before I could speculate any further, Leah couldn't contain herself any longer.

She burst, "I fucking imprinted! How could this happen to me? That asshole Sam said he didn't think I could ever imprint because I'm the only girl wolf, and BAM! I turn around and holy fuck this guy was right there!" I could tell she would have kept going at this break neck speed so I decided to intervene.

"So do I know this guy? Do you know this guy or did you just look at him and freak the fuck out?" I smiled as I said this because I could picture it happening in my head. The Leah look and immediate freak out.

"Yes I know him. You fucking know him too! It is Cody's brother Creed! How could this happen?" Leah shrieked. Interesting, I thought she had already met him, apparently not.

"Well at least both of them will be able to know the secret. And at least he isn't some pansy ass like that guy Rocky that tried to get you to go out with him for months. Which by the way I am still impressed that you never kicked his ass." Trying to calm Leah down was a job, but the way to do it was to first distract and second to always compliment. Leah could turn feral when she was this worked up so it paid to be careful.

"At least both of them will know the secret? That's the best you can do Prade? I come here for some comfort, and all these punk ass distractions aren't fooling me one bit!" Her voice rising again with each word. Okay so Leah is more freaked out than I anticipated.

"Leah I thought you wanted to move on, you know you deserve it. Fate is finally throwing you a bone here, and I really think you need to take advantage of it. I know you are freaked out, but this will be a good thing if you let it." I tried to be sensitive.

Leah deflated after I said this, "I know that I should take advantage of this, but I just don't want to be screwed over again. I don't think I would be able to stand it if something else tore me down like Sam did."

I drew Leah in for a hug, "I know Leah, and I'll talk to Jake and Cody to find out if he is seeing anyone and if he is even in to girls." I said this last bit to draw a smile out of her.

It worked as she shook her head with a smile, "If you saw this guy there would be no doubt that he is, but always good to double check."

After that little heart to heart, we found out that Creed wasn't seeing anyone and that he was in fact into girls, and more specifically Leah. It took them awhile but they are now inseparable and Creed is a pretty cool guy.

(END FLASHBACK)

Pulling myself back into the present, I couldn't help but laugh as I pulled up to Leah and Creed's house. I think recreating the minutes after Leah imprinted would be hilarious in this situation.

I was careful not to slam my door, and I took off running up the steps, I swung open the door and shouted "LEAH! GET YOUR ASS DOWN HERE RIGHT NOW!"

Leah came out of the kitchen, and I think she knew because she started to smile and her look of confusion turned into one of understanding. "You imprinted! That's fucking awesome! So do I know this girl? Do you know this girl or did you just look at her and freak the fuck out?" The mimicking of our conversation had both of us laughing like loons, not even stopping when Creed walked into the room with a look of confusion on his face.

"Guess what honey! Paul imprinted!" Leah was just as happy for me as I was for her.

Creed smiled and shook his head at both of us, "Way to go man. If she's anything like Leah you won't have another dull moment."

Leah just rolled her eyes and turned her attention back to me, "So do we know her? What's she like? What does she look like? Is she a bitch?"

Laughing I cut her off, "We both have heard of her before I actually met her, she is Quinn and Lou's oldest granddaughter Lily. She's a sports fan, is going to be a math teacher at La Push Middle School, and is not a bitch. She is tall, not as tall as you though, with red hair and green eyes. I just don't want to blow it. Her mom made me stay for dinner, which apparently is what Quinn called me about yesterday when 2 of the dumbass pups were fighting and phased."

Leah looked at me approvingly. "Really? Already met the family? Impressive. I must say I am glad to see that you have joined the imprint club. When are you going to see her again?"

"I asked if I could show her around La Push, and she said yes, that she can't wait to hear from me." I know I'm sounding a little girly here, but what the hell it was only Leah and Creed.

"Well, who knew you had it in you? Now have you told anyone else about the imprint?" Leah looked at me threateningly.

"Jesus woman! You know I wouldn't dream of telling anyone else first, you'd kick my ass into next week." I held my hands up in surrender.

"Ha okay, just checking to make sure no one else is as important than me." She said playfully, sticking her tongue out.

After staying to talk with Creed and Leah for awhile, I finally dragged myself out of their house and towards my car. Again on auto-pilot I started driving towards my home, my thoughts on imprinting and Lily.

I turned back to my earlier thoughts of not wanting to be a spineless puppy and drop everything else in my life for my imprint. Hopefully Lily won't turn out to be one of those girls that feels the need to check up on or be with their boyfriend 24/7. God, I can't believe I am even thinking boyfriend, I should start with being her friend first.

With that thought in my head, I would wait to until tomorrow to text Lily to see if she wanted to get together to tour the greatness that is La Push. I imprinted. God, I wonder what would happen next.

…

So there it is. I wanted to develop the Paul and Leah relationship, and I was pleased with the result. Let me know what you think!
