Sorry guys I didn't write the catfight. However I imagine it went something like this: "You're a bitch." "No you're a bitch." "You're a slut." "No you're a slut."
excetra.
Hope you aren't too dissapointed :)

Quil, Seth & Embry: October 30 3:56 PM
"Quil, hey," Seth jogged up to join Quil in the shade of the garage. "What are you doing hiding over here?"
Quil frowned. "I'm reflecting on my miserable life. And where the hell have you been? You were like two hours late."
"Sorry. I couldn't get Julie out of the house. She was having some issues finding an outfit."
Embry strode up to them. "She better pop that kid out really soon." He glanced back over his shoulder. "It's making her very unpleasant."
Seth frowned and punched Embry on the arm. "That's my girlfriend and my child you're talking about."
Embry rubbed his arm. "Yeah it is. When are you going to make an honest woman out of Julie anyway?"
"At this rate, never," Seth said with a sigh.
"She still won't budge, huh?" Quil shook his head.
"Nope. I've tried begging, pleading, fighting, reasoning. Nothing works. She says she just got finished with a messy divorce and won't even consider the possibility of getting married again right now."
"Not even with the baby and all?"
"No."
Quil sighed. "That sucks man. I'm sorry."
Seth made a face. "It wouldn't be so bad if she would even consider moving in together. But she doesn't want to move here-"
"That's just as well I don't want to share my house with your girlfriend and some screamy baby," Embry interrupted.
"My house," Quil corrected.
"Morons, we would get our own place! Anyway like I said it doesn't matter because she doesn't want to move to La Push because of her job, and I really can't move to Port Angeles because of the pack."
Embry scratched his neck. "Have you thought about…..you know….leaving the pack? I mean Jared and Paul did."
Quil started at Embry's question. That was twice today that someone brought up Jared and Paul leaving the pack. He leaned closer, very curious as to what Seth's answer would be.
"I told her I would. For her and the baby, but she says no. Says she knows how much I love it and doesn't want to be the cause of me giving up something I love. I told her that I love her and our baby more than anything in the world but…." Seth shrugged helplessly. "We're kind of at a standstill. I mean once the baby's born, I don't want to be an hour and a half away all the time. Something's going to have to give."
"Maybe she'll change her mind once the baby's here." Quil tried to sound hopeful.
"Maybe," Seth sighed. "The thing is, I think she's scared. Her ex screwed her royally. I mean the mental abuse he put her and her daughters through aside, he made the whole divorce a nightmare especially after he found out Julie was pregnant. He's lucky Julie wouldn't let me go to the court date. I don't know if I would have been able to control myself."
Quil nodded. "Yeah from what Julie's told me he's a real ass."
"Since you brought up asses," Embry began. "What's with you and that little piece of ass over there?" He jerked his thumb at Mindy.
Quil glanced over to see Claire and Mindy in a heated conversation. "Who, Mindy 'That Girl is Poison' Klein? She came on to me! I told her to back off."
Embry sized her up. "She's a little trampy, not that I mind that. Did you notice she's not wearing a bra?" Embry gave an appreciative nod. "She available?"
Quil gave Embry a disgusted look. "Dude, you have a girlfriend. Plus she's a little young for you."
Embry rubbed his head. "I was joking first of all and secondly isn't she the same age as your girlfriend?"
"Totally different," Quil stated firmly.
"You imprints and your excuses," Embry smiled. "Well, no matter it looks like your girlfriend is escorting her off the property." Embry laughed. "Boy, Claire looks pissed. It's kind of funny. Speaking of girlfriends, where's mine?" He glanced around.
Seth pointed. "Talking to Julie," he said.
Embry's eyes widened. "No, no, no, no Seth I told you to keep Julie away from Kate. She's all excited about this baby thing. I don't want her to get any ideas." He turned and hustled towards Kate and Julie.
Seth laughed. "Amazing, isn't he?"
"The only thing I'm amazed about is that Kate has stuck with him this long," Quil took a deep breath. "So you would really leave? Leave the pack for Julie?"
Seth nodded. "Of course I would. I mean I love the pack but…..Julie and this baby? They are my life. I would do anything she asked."
Quil smiled. "You're a good guy, Seth. I admire you, you know?"
Seth ducked his head shyly. "Thanks. Right back at ya."
"Although I guess neither of us really has a choice, with the imprinting and all," Quil mused.
"Well I think we do have choices, just that they're sometimes hard."
Quil nodded. "That they are." He suddenly frowned when he saw Claire storming away from Mindy. "I better go talk to her," he told Seth.
Seth waved his hand. "Yeah, go, go."
Quil took a deep breath, prayed Claire wasn't pissed at him and took off after his disgruntled girlfriend.
