Chapter Seventeen: Paul

Paul hung up with Sarah and sighed, lying on his bed staring at the ceiling. He rolled over and placed his phone on his nightstand. When he looked over he saw that Esme had moved to stand next to the bed.

"I'm sorry." Paul said.

"I know, Emmett and Rosalie went for a quick hunt and should be back before Carlisle is home."

"Do you think he'll spank me?" Paul asked.

"I don't know. You'll have to wait till Carlisle is home and talks more with you."

"I only called her to talk. I didn't realize that she would be with Carlisle."

"I see."

"When he asked what happened. I knew I couldn't lie to him. So I told him what I told Sarah."

"Lieing is never a good thing."

"I know."

Esme sat on the edge of the bed. Paul sighed again moving over so she could sit on the bed instead of the edge of the bed.

"I'm guessing you had a rough day."

"Yeah, Esme, it kind of was. Usually it is fine but with Sarah not there with me, it was difficult to keep my emotions in check. My parents were there when I arrived. They wanted the principle and the teachers to know that I'm no longer living with them but here with you. I made it through most of the day without a problem. Until the other guys in the pack started bugging me about Sarah."

"Oh, Paul, what did you do?"

"I pushed Quinn onto the ground out on the school ground. One of the teachers caught us and gave us both detentions. One of you has to sign this." Paul said handing her his detention slip for her to sign.

Esme sighed. She took the paper and looked it over. It was indeed a detention slip. Date to serve the detention was Friday after school for one hour.

"So you lied to me when I asked you how your day was." Esme said turning to look at him once more.

"I know and I'm sorry. I was gonna tell you both at the same time when Carlisle was home. I'm really sorry, Mamma." Paul said.

"Have you ever been in trouble with the school before?"

"A few."

"What did your parents say?"

"The first three were lectures, some a grounding. One was a meeting with my father's strap out in the barn. My mom tried to get him to change his mind. But he said I had to learn. That was the first and the last time he ever used that strap."

"What do you mean?"

"Mom demanded to see the damage that dad had done to my behind, so I laid on the bed and she pulled down my sweats and boxers. She screamed my father's name when she saw the state of my backside. She knew I wouldn't be able to sit for a least a few days. My father said that I had deserved it. My mother agreed that I should be punished but what my father had done was boarder line abusive. She took the strap and threw it into the fire place. She then made father call the school the next morning and tell them I was sick and would be out of school for a least two or three days. Dad also promised to never to go that far ever again. And he hasn't." Paul said.

Just then they heard a car pull in the drive. Paul sighed. Rosalie appeared in the doorway.

"I'm coming." Paul said getting up.

"Oh, and if you wanna know how bad it was ask Edward or Sarah. I'm sure they would tell you. Maybe Alice if she can see it." Paul said before following Rosalie to Carlisle's study.

Esme went down to meet Carlisle in the kitchen. Sarah skipped by them and into the living room. They watched as she stopped at the bottom of the stairs looking up them. She then turned her head to the others in the living. It looked as if Sarah and Edward were having a conversation in their heads. Sighing Sarah plastered a smile onto her face and went over to Emmett. Emmett wasn't prepared to be jumped on as Sarah jumped into his lap with a giggle. Carlisle and Esme laughed as they heard Emmett's disagreeing retort.

Sarah just looked at him as innocently as she could and spoke to him.

"Will you go on a hunt with me?"

"Ummm…"

"PLEASE?"

"I suppose."

"YEAH!" Sarah shouted before jumping up and dashing to the front door.

Emmett laughed and got up to follow her. Edward stood with Bella at his side, as Alice and Jasper looked at each other and decided to go with. Sarah's smile grew into a more realistic one as she notice that they were all standing.

"YEAH! Hunting party! Mama, are you gonna come too?" Sarah asked as she dashed over to her.

"You all go. I'll catch up in a bit."

Sarah nodded. As she ran past Emmett she grabbed his arm and dragged him out the door, with the other laughing at the startled look on Emmett's face as he was dragged out of the house. Carlisle turned to Edward and Bella.

"Take Bella to the cottage. I want to have family meeting after I have a talk with Rosalie and Paul. I'll have Alice come get you both when it's safe to come back." Carlisle said.

"Alright." Edward said.

"I'm not part of the family yet." Bella said.

"Yes, you are." Carlisle said.

Sarah looked over at Alice as did Edward.

"What is it?" Jasper asked.

"I have to go!" Sarah shouted before running off towards the reservation.

"Sam is calling her through her bond with Paul."

Everyone was silent. They could now hear that Paul was talking with Rosalie. And they weren't shouting at each other.

"I'm really sorry, Rosalie. The reason I left the house to go outside was so that I wouldn't attack you. I was having a bad day and I just needed a minute to myself."

"I'm sorry, too. I know that with you living here now will be a change I have to get used to. I shouldn't have said those things to you. After you left the room I should have left you alone."

They sat in silence for a bit.

"It's so hard for me to not be with Sarah during the day. I'm so used to her being in my arms almost all day."

"What about the pack? The others I mean." Rosalie asked.

"They are more like her brothers and sisters. It's the same with me. They are more my brothers and sister. For the first five years she could be found in either my, Sam's or Jacob Black's house."

"Jacob Black?"

"When she first came to the Reservation she and Jacob were always together. Sam disapproved of their friendship. But they were almost always together. Even after Sam told Sarah about the treaty and where the line was. She and Jacob would walk up and down the boarders all day and most nights. Sarah asked to meet some of the others in the pack. So Jacob brought me and Seth with him one night. It wasn't till later that night that I imprinted on her. It took me a week to actually confront her. The whole pack was with me when I asked Sarah her full name. When I asked her what her name was the others all gasped as did I."

"I bet she wanted to know why."

"She did. Sam thought it best if the tribal council told her the truth."

"They teased you for imprinting on Carlisle's daughter."

"Yeah…They all thought that once he found out he'd take her and you'd all move away and never return." Paul said.

"Not unless you give him valid reason to." Rosalie said.

"So umm… you wanna start over? I mean, I know that we are still in trouble, but it won't do if we are at each other's throats all the time. I'd rather not have to be in here anytime soon." Paul said.

"I'll try. But I'm not making any promises."

Carlisle choose that moment to enter the room.
