I would have been able to sleep in Jacobs arms forever. That would have been nice. Too bad when I woke up, Jacob was in the shower and, except for me, the bed was empty. I heard the water running in the shower and put a pillow over my head to block out the sun leaking in through the curtains. Though I realised my attempts and going back to sleep where useless so I got out of back and pulled my clothes back on.

In the kitchen, I rummaged through the fridge and found a carton of eggs.

"Jake?" I called, "I'm making eggs for breakfast, how many do you want?"

"Four," I heard him call from the bathroom.

God, werewolves eat a lot. Why aren't they fat? Girls like to eat too. Why don't all of us have crazy fast metabolism?

I rolled my eyes and went about making breakfast. Jacob walked into the kitchen a few minutes later wearing a pair of pants, his hair still damp from his shower. He walked up behind me, wrapped an arm around my waist and placed a kiss on my head.

"Morning," I smiled.

"Morning," he grinned, "You seem very happy today."

"I am."

"Happy Birthday by the way," He said, "I have something for you, I'll be right back."

He disappeared into the hallway and showed up a few minutes later with a small white box with a blue bow and placed it on the counter in front of me.

I picked it up and took of the lid.

"I know, not a very original idea for a present," he said, "but it made me think of you."

Inside was a thin black chain and a silver charm, the shape of a tear drop hung on it. It had a very beautiful and complex design on it. A design that I assumed was a wolf.
"It's really beautiful," I gasped, "Thank you, help me put it on?"

He grinned and took the necklace from my hands and I turned around and picked my hair up. Once it was on, I turned around and placed a quick kiss on his lips.

"I hope you didn't spend too much," I said, "It looks expensive."

"You deserve it," Jacob said, "if someone around here has a problem with their car they aren't going to drive it all the way to Port Angeles to get it fixed, it's not going to make me rich, but it pays for groceries and bills and such."

I finished making breakfast and Jake put a couple of plates on the table.

"Yum, how'd you know I like eggs?" Jake joked.

"Lucky guess?" I laughed a little.

"Last night," Jake started, "it wasn't your first time was it?"

I shook my head no, "Not yours either I'm guessing?"

"No it wasn't," he said.

I nodded. We finished breakfast in silence and Jacob put the dishes in the sink.

"Emily called earlier by the way," Jake said, "You need to be home tonight. Apparently she made you a birthday cake. And she makes really good birthday cakes."

"Earlier?" I asked, "What time is it now?"

"One o'clock," Jake shrugged.

"I slept till one?" I sigh, "you could have woken me up."

"Nah, I you didn't get much sleep last night so I figured I'd let you sleep some."

He kissed me again and laughed, "You should probably leave, Emily sounded like she thought I'd kidnapped you. Take my car."

"You trust me with your car?"

"Just go before I change my mind."

He pulled the keys out of his pocket and tossed them to me hesitantly. I threw him a grin as I caught the keys and grabbed my jacket and left.

It was still fairly icy on the roads and it had been a while since the last time I'd driven a car, I slid down to Emily's more than I drove there.

I let myself into the house and shrugged out of my jacket.

"Hi!" I called.

"Oh you're home!" It was Sam's voice.

"Hey!" That one was Emily.

I walked into the living room where Kyle was watching Buggs Bunny. Sam walked into the living room, shoes and jacket on.

"Going somewhere?" I asked.

"Yep. I'm working today. Happy Birthday by the way!" Sam patted me on the shoulder and continued out the door.

"Hey, Happy Birthday!" Emily pulled me into a hug.

"Birthday?" Kyle repeated, tumbling into the kitchen.

"Yes sweetie, it's Lynn's birthday. Come say happy birthday." Emily scooped him up of the ground and he turned his head towards me.

"Happy Birthday," he laughed.

"Thanks kid," I grinned and ruffled his hair.

"Can I have carrots?" He asked, pointing at the fridge.

"I'll get them," I said, already going towards the fridge. I pulled out the carrots and grabbed a bowl and put in a handful.

"Here you go," I gave them to him and he clutched the bowl tightly with both hands and staggered off into the living room after mumbling a thank you.

We had a small quiet dinner. Sam, Emily, Kyle, Jacob and I.

Emily made a large round chocolate cake and lit candles that I blew out after them singing 'Happy Birthday'.

It was a lot better than any of my other birthdays.

I went to bed stuffed with cake and birthday wishes that night and fell asleep instantly.

The days dragged on slowly, the weather got slightly warmer and I think I actually saw a little slit of sun once.

February passed my quickly and June was starting to creep up, making people nervous about the wedding set for the 19th of June.

Emily and I were talking to Rachel and Rebecca about the wedding dress. Rachel did another twirl in Emily's living room, almost falling over. The white skirt flowed around her feet as she twirled, showing us the details and the beading on the front when the phone rang.

Emily disappeared into the kitchen and walked back in a minute later, eyes looking red, she gave the phone to Rachel.

Rachel put the phone to her ear and Rebecca leaned in so she could listen as well. Panic and shock covered their faces.

Rachel nodded and sniffled a little and pressed the 'off' button. She dropped down on a chair and was silent for a minute before bursting out crying.

Rebecca sobbed silently and shook her head.

I sat quietly, not wanting to ask what happened, my mind going crazy with the possibilities of all that could have happened.

Rebecca sniffled and looked at me.

"Dad's dead."


Sorry! It's late, I know. I had to make a quick trip down to Oregon state. It came up kind of quickly so I didn't have the time to post this chapter before leaving. Only about two more and story's over. I had so much fun writing it I hope you guys enjoyed reading it at least half as much. I'm thinking of doing a Harry Potter fanfic next. If you've got any requests or ideas wanna maybe leave them in the reviews?

Thanks for all your reviews from the last chapter. I appreciate them so much!

Love,

Michelle.
