Sam's POV

Things had definitely been exciting over the last five years. My wife and I were celebrating Cameron's sixth birthday today and we found out two months ago that we were going to have a daughter. Bella and I had been tossing names around and we finally came up with the perfect one.

We had chosen Carlie Samantha Uley. I picked her middle name and my mate came up with her first name. I couldn't believe I had been with Bella for eight years already. It just seemed like yesterday that I found her in the woods and imprinted on her.

My pack had grown over the years. Collin and Brady joined a few years after Seth and Leah when we had several nomads pass through trying to stake a claim on the Cullen's former territory. Apparently word traveled around the vampire world that the leeches were never coming back to Forks. Good riddance too if you asked me because I still wanted to rip that bastards head off for leaving my mate in the woods all those years ago.

Collin and Brady were the only two members of the pack who have yet to imprint. Paul surprised everyone when he imprinted on Jacob's sister Rachel when she came home for a visit after graduating from college. Embry found his mate in a girl named Holly from the Makah Rez when she came here to go to the beach with some friends. She was the complete opposite of Embry's quiet and shy personality, but they were made for each other.

Quil met a girl named Claire who was actually a year older than him. She was perfect for him and they both loved to joke around. He loved having an older woman and even though they had been together for four years now, he still made comments about his mate being older. Seth's imprint was from Forks. Her name was Beth and she bumped into him one day when Bella sent him with some food to take to Charlie and Tiffany. She literally tripped and crashed into him as he climbed out of his car. She was a lot like my mate, sweet and considerate of everyone, but could hold her own as well.

Her and Seth have been together ever since that day. The pack teased them for a while because their names were entirely too similar, but eventually we all let it drop; only making remarks every now and then. Charlie and Tiffany got married ten months after he proposed. Embry walked his mom down the aisle. The ceremony was simple and on the beach like mine and Bella's was.

Jacob and Leah were married and they had their first child two years ago. His name was Jonathan Jacob and they were expecting another boy. He still hadn't taken over as alpha and I was okay with that for now. I told him eventually I would stop phasing and then he would become the leader of the pack. Paul married Rachel last year and Embry just got married a month ago. Quil and Claire were engaged, but no wedding plans had been made as of yet. Seth was planning to ask Beth to marry him on her birthday next week.

Collin and Brady, well, they sure did give Paul's man whore days a run for its money. Between the two of them, Paul was in awe at how many girls they were sleeping with. I wouldn't allow them to have their fun on the Rez, but that didn't stop them from finding another notch on their bedposts in Forks or Port Angeles.

Bella was constantly bitching at them about how many girls they were having sex with. She had gotten through to Paul not even a year after I found her in the woods, but she couldn't make Collin or Brady see that their behavior was degrading. My wife wanted me to alpha order them to stop whoring around, but I couldn't take away their freedom to make their own choices.

They were legally adults, but Charlie did give them a good scare when he told them that one of the girls that they both slept with was pregnant. Turned out she wasn't, but it was enough to make them slow down on the number of girls they took to their beds.

Both of them ended up finding their mates at the community college in Port Angeles yesterday. They went to the campus because they were going to enroll for classes. Collin looked over at the girl that was enrolling next to him and he imprinted. Her name was Hailey and Brady imprinted on her twin sister Bailey. They were from Seattle and luckily for the pups, the girls hadn't heard about their man whore ways. We were going to meet the twins today at the party.

Both of them were unsure about how to feel about imprinting. They spoke to my wife and I last night when they came back and we explained that to find your soul mate was a beautiful thing and they should be happy about that. Bella told them they should just be glad their mates hadn't heard about their man whoring ways and that put a smile on their face.

Bella asked Collin and Brady to go to the bakery there for the cake she had ordered since they would already be in Port Angeles. She was extremely tired with this pregnancy and I told her to just buy a cake instead of trying to make one big enough for the entire pack, all the imprints, the council, Charlie, and Tiffany. It was just too much for my mate to have to worry about.

The cake would be here a day early so I had to alpha order the pack to stay away from it until the party. My beautiful wife and I decorated for Cameron's party and the Halloween party that she insisted we have after the birthday festivities were over. I didn't argue because I wanted her to be happy.

I decorated the inside for the birthday and Bella was outside with Paul, Rachel, Jared, and Kim setting up for the Halloween party for tonight. We planned to have a bonfire while the girls took Cameron and Jonathan trick-or-treating and we men grilled up the meat.

"Daddy?" Cameron called out.

"In the kitchen, Son," I answered.

He walked in with a scowl on his face and held his costume out in front of him. I raised a brow at him and he shook it around so I reached for it.

"I don't want to wear that."

I chuckled and knelt in front of him. "Isn't this the costume that you picked out?"

"Yes, but momma said I have to wear it and I don't want to. I want to be a wolf like you, Daddy," he said with a pout.

I sighed, "What if we go talk to your momma about it together?"

He nodded and took off out the back door as he yelled, "Momma!"

I followed him outside and we made our way to Bella at the same time. She turned to face us with a smile on her face. I pressed my lips to hers and pulled back when Cameron yanked on my arm.

I lifted him up and he gave my mate his best puppy dog eyes, "Momma, can I please be a wolf like Daddy?"

"Oh Cameron, don't look at me like that," she huffed.

"Please," he begged.

She sighed, "Fine, we'll go to the store and see if we can find you a wolf costume, but if we can't you will have to wear that one."

"Thank you, Momma," Cameron squealed.

He leaned forward and kissed Bella on her cheek as she smiled at him. I placed him back on the grass and he ran inside.

"He is too much like you with those puppy dog eyes," Bella giggled.

"I love you, Baby," I told her before I pulled her to me.

"I love you too. Will you make sure the decorations get done while Cameron and I go to the store?"

"Of course," I answered.

I closed the gap between us and kissed her. I slipped my tongue into her mouth and she moaned. Her arms wrapped around my neck and I felt myself getting hard. I pulled back because we wouldn't be able to finish that just yet. My wife groaned and gave me her own pout.

"I'll make it up to you tonight," I promised. "Now go so you can hurry back to me and don't forget your phone."

"I won't. We'll be back soon," she called out as she walked into the house.

I heard my truck start up a few minutes later and listened as it drove away. Paul and Jared walked over and stared at me with their brows raised.

"What?" I finally asked when they didn't say anything.

"You let her go by herself," Paul stated matter-of-factly.

"Somebody should have gone with her and my nephew," Jared told me. "Or did you forget that she's pregnant?" He asked with narrowed eyes.

"They are just going look for another costume for Cameron. We haven't seen any bloodsuckers since Brady and Collin phased," I said, a little defensively. "And of course I haven't forgotten that she's pregnant."

I'd never have let my wife and son go alone if I sensed any danger and my pack knew that. I stared at my second and third in command with a pointed look until they both nodded and went back to decorating. I shook my head and made my way back inside to get back to hanging the balloons.

I had just hung the last balloon when the phone rang. I stepped off the stool I was on and went to answer it.

"Hello," I answered on the fourth ring.

"SAM!" Bella screamed into the phone.

Paul and Jared came running inside with Rachel and Kim following close behind them.

"Bella, Baby," I shouted. "What's going on?"

"He's running after us. Oh God, Sam, he looks just like you," she cried out.

"Where are you?" I asked. "Who looks just like me?"

"I don't know. He was outside the store. Cameron, stay down for momma."

I heard the tires squeal through the phone and then a loud crash. I dropped the phone and burst through the back door. I landed on four paws and took off through the forest. I had to get to my pregnant mate and son.

If anything happened to them, it would be my fault. I let them go alone. Jared was right; someone should have gone with them. When I bolted out of the trees, my heart stopped at the sight before me. I didn't even wait to assess the situation, I just ran straight for the truck in my wolf form.

I could smell a scent, but I couldn't quite make out what it belonged to until I saw him going through the window of the truck.

I'll get him. – Jared said and took off running ahead of me.

The man slipped out of the window and took off faster than he should have been able to. He clearly was supernatural, but his scent wasn't that of a leech. I phased back as I reached the truck and saw my son and wife unconscious.

Paul handed me a pair of shorts and we got to work trying to get them out of the truck safely. We worked together and pried the door open. The truck was on its driver's side and I had no idea if my reasons for living were going to be okay.

Jared came back holding a phone to his ear barking out that he needed an ambulance. He crushed the phone in his hand when he was done explaining to the woman where we were.

"He fucking looks just like you, Sam," he exclaimed.

We got the door opened and I held on to Cameron as Paul unhooked the seatbelt. His heartbeat was beating regularly, but I could see that his injuries were serious. I carefully passed him to Jared as Paul and I worked to get my wife out of the truck.

My eyes were blurry as I fought to keep the tears at bay. I could only hear one heartbeat coming from inside the truck. I climbed through the window and unbuckled her. I lifted her and passed her to Paul so I could get back out of the truck without moving her around too much.

As soon as I was out of the truck, Paul handed her back to me. I pressed my ear to her stomach as I held her in my arms. I heard our daughter's heartbeat, but it was weak. Bella had cuts all over her face and arms, but the worst was the large wound on her lower abdomen.

I held my hand over it and put pressure on the wound to try to stop some of the blood flow. Jared sat next to me holding Cameron in his arms and the tears finally came.

"We'll notify the pack and meet you at the hospital," Paul said.

His voice was rough and his eyes were wet with unshed tears. My family was dying right here in my arms. I looked up as I heard the sirens and I spotted Charlie running towards us.

He dropped to his knees and looked at his daughter. The EMT's got to work on Bella and Cameron as soon as they arrived and Charlie and I climbed in the back of the ambulance with them.

I couldn't understand why someone that looked like me would want to hurt my wife, my son, and my unborn daughter. I held Cameron's hand while my other hand rested on Bella's stomach. My daughter's heartbeat was getting weaker.

Charlie looked at the monitor that was hooked up for the baby's heartbeat and I watched as tears rolled down his cheeks. The ambulance came to a stop and Bella and Cameron were rushed inside. I ran after them with Charlie behind me. Paul and Jared came in a few seconds later and we all were asked to wait in the designated waiting room.

A nurse came and gave myself, Jared, and Paul some scrubs. I looked down at myself and saw that I had blood on my arms and my chest much like my pack brothers. We quickly changed in the bathrooms and were then taken to another waiting room.

"I'm Doctor Davis," an elder man said walking up to us.

"I'm Sam. Are my wife and son going to be okay?"

"Your wife is being taken into surgery now and I'm not sure about your son, but I'll see what I can find out. Is your wife or son allergic to anything that you know of?"

"No, they're not allergic to anything," I responded.

"Look Doc, I'm Chief Swan. That is my daughter and grandchildren back there. Get in there and save them," Charlie pointed at the doors while he raised his voice.

"We'll do everything we can," he told us before he walked back through the double doors.

I slumped in the chair and put my head in my hands.

"Sam," Jared said as he placed his hand on my shoulder. "That guy was a wolf and he was bigger than you and Jacob."

My head snapped up and I stared at him in disbelief. Before I could say anything the rest of the pack and the imprints all came rushing in.

"Where are Bella and Cameron?" Leah asked me.

"Bella is in surgery and we are waiting on news about Cameron," Paul answered for me.

"What happened?" Jacob questioned.

Jared explained what Bella said on the phone and told them all about the man that looked like me. When he said the guy turned into a wolf, I heard a few growls come from the pack, but they were abruptly cut off when another doctor walked in.

"I'm Doctor Gaspard. Who is Cameron's father?" He asked as he looked at us.

"I am," I responded as I stood up and shook his hand.

"Your son sustained serious injury in the accident. He's in a coma. Now, his brain activity is normal, but I cannot tell you for certain that he will wake up or when. His left leg is broken, his right arm was crushed, and he had several gashes on his head. We have him stabilized," he explained.

"Can I see him?" I gasped out.

"For a few minutes. We need to bring him into surgery to put pins in his arm, but I wanted you to know what was going on first. Follow me," he said as he began to walk away.

I followed behind him numbly and stopped short when I saw my son in the hospital bed. He had a tube in his mouth and numerous wires covering his body. I could see that his leg was in a cast as well. I walked over to his bed and dropped to my knees.

I rested my head on my hands as the tears fell and I said a silent prayer. Please God, don't take them from me. I don't just love them, I need them to survive. I leaned forward and kissed Cameron's cheek. I could see numerous cuts and bruises all over his face and head.

"You fight and come back to me, Son," I whispered as I stood.

"We really need to get him into surgery now, Mr. Uley," Doctor Gaspard said from the doorway.

I nodded and kissed my boy once more before I walked back to the waiting room. All I could think about was my family. I'd deal with this new wolf after I knew they were okay and then I'd kill him slowly and painfully. He hurt my wife, my son, and my unborn daughter and he would pay with his life.

I sat in the chair that I was in before and waited for hours before Doctor Davis came back out. He looked at me and I knew by the expression on his face that the news wasn't good.

I rushed over to him as did Charlie, Jared, and Paul. I begged him with my eyes to not shatter my world, but it was futile.

"I'm so sorry, Mr. Uley, we did everything that we could," he started and stopped when my legs gave out on me and I sunk to the floor.

"No!" Paul shouted. "She can't be dead."

"Not my daughter," I heard Charlie mumble before he dropped to his knees.

A/N: I know; I'm evil for stopping the chapter here. I'll update again soon, I promise. Don't hate me for the cliffy.
