I was at the beach sitting with Emily while we watched the boys, who were currently cliff diving. After Paul and I had arrived at Sam's. I was bombard with hugs from each pack member telling me how glad they were that I was back, but no hug rivaled them more then Emily's.

After the hugs and welcome backs were done and over with everyone settled down as we had lunch, only for Embry to announce that he was bored. But only after all the food was gone of course, so here we're hanging out at the beach, chuckling when I saw Paul do a back flip off of the cliff making me snort lightly "show off" I thought.

It had taken some time, but I was finally able to convince Paul to go and join in with the guys up on the cliffs. I was glad I was able to talk him into diving with the guys I knew that he wanted too and I wanted some girl time alone with Emily.

"I love our boys" Emily said smiling as she watched the guys goofing around and I smiled "Me to…. For some odd reason" I told her causing Emily and I to laugh.

Before we turned are attention back to watching our boys who were currently goofing around, trying to show each other up when I caught sight of Paul it calmed me watching him but that was before my mind went off into high overdrive. I bite my lip I wanted to ask but I didn't know how to start a conversation like this.

But that was before Emily commented that she was glad Paul was back to his normal self did I sigh before asking what I wanted to know. "How was he?" I asked not moving my eyes off from were they where locked on Paul, Emily didn't ask for an elaboration she knew what I was asking.

"Awful" she finally said sighing sadly "It was like…. watching somebody… die… all the life was just drained out of him"

I suddenly felt ill especially when she said it was like Paul was dying I felt my insides go cold I was numb I couldn't even imagine Paul… dead. "That bad?" I asked Emily who bit her lip before she nodded slowly unsure if she should say anything more or not.

"He didn't eat or sleep or when he tried to sleep he woke up from nightmares, he just wasn't there" she told me. "Sam had once told me what it was like when an imprint was gone from their wolf for too long" she said softly and I had a feeling she wasn't talking too me anymore.

"I didn't think it was that bad" she said quietly and I looked up at the cliffs, looking at Paul he was different from the last time I had seen him, he was slightly thinner, and his eyes had lost their light.

But when Paul saw me he smiled and waved as he and the guys started jumping into the water before they started swimming towards us where we were on the beach but at the sight of seeing Paul smiling a real true genuine smile.

I couldn't help but smile and wave back as he jumped into the water whatever had happen it was in the past it didn't matter anymore because I was here safe and sound with Paul, but as soon as that thought left my mind was when everything went black.

Paul

I saw Talia stiffen and I knew something was wrong, I picked up the speed towards where her and Emily were sitting and just managed to catch Talia in my arms. As her eyes went blank and she started shaking and I felt myself start to panic.

"Talia" I said my voice full of fear as she continued shaking, but other than that she was unresponsive. "Talia please what's wrong? What do you need?" I begged her as my grip on her tightened, I had just gotten her back no way in hell was I going to lose her again.

I was shaking her gently trying to get her to wake up that I didn't notice Quill come over and hand her a sketchbook "Her sketchbook…. damn it!" I thought as I remembered why she was like this.

"How'd you know what she needed?" I growled being protective of my imprint but he just rolled his eyes.

"She talked but you where to busy freaking out to notice" I ignored his tone and instead I focused my attention back on Talia, who was now scribbling on the piece of paper.

Carrying Talia all the way back to Sam's place I gently laid her on the couch just as her hand slowly began to stop moving. I rested her head in my lap as I gently stroked her hair waiting for her to come out of her vision.

"Does it usually last this long?" Seth asked looking at Talia in worry by this point the entire pack had gathered around and were now watching her. "It usually takes a bit of time" I told him my eyes never leaving Talia's face as the time ticked by her had been in her vision for about seven minutes.

The room was silent before there was a sudden loud in take of breath as Talia took in a deep breath before she started coughing as color returned to her eyes, as she came back into focuses.

"Talia" I said sighed in relief before bringing her forwards and hugging her it wasn't long before I felt her arms wrap around my neck as she hugged me back.

"H-how long?" she asked shakily before pulling away slightly "About… eleven minutes" Jared told her as he looked back towards the clock, Damn I forgot they were even here.

Talia let out another shaky breath before she ran her hand through her hair before she leaned forward taking her sketchpad to see what she drew, before her face went pale and her face took on a look of confusion.

I leaned forward to see what she drew and was stunned at what I saw… she was standing in front of a mirror with her hands resting on her stomach a look of shock and wonder plastered on her face

"That's… Bella!" Jake choked out before he reached forward to grab her sketch but ended up yanking her wrist causing her to flinch.

I growled before I roughly slapped Jake's hands away pushing him back as we both started to shake, "Outside" Sam's alpha voice ordered us before we both headed outside.
