"So Paul, tell me why you're here today?"
"I have anger issues." I said and rubbed my hands together and saw him nod before writing something down.
"Ok, what pushed you into counseling now?"
"Me and my fiancé were having a bbq with friends and I accidently hit her while fighting someone."
"Was it intentional?"
"No! I just blacked out." I sighed and hung my head while he wrote some stuff down.
"Let's get to know each other Paul. How was your childhood?"
"It was ok, I guess."
"Why don't you explain it to me."
"Well, my mom and dad were ok, dad drank a lot and hit my mom. Mom was submissive."
"So where are they now."
"Dad left when I was 10 and mom died when I was 13." I felt myself stiffen as I pushed the sadness away.
"Don't do that Paul."
"Do what?"
"Push your feelings away. What emotions are you feeling?"
"Sadness and anger."
"I miss my mom."
"Why not your dad?"
"He was a dick."
"Why do you say that?"
"He hit my mom!"
"How do you know?"
"I watched him, he hit her and then would go off and sleep with other women and would come home and degrade her."
"How about you Paul, how did he treat you?"
"Like I didn't matter."
"How did that make you feel?"
"I don't know." I whispered as he eyed me.
"You're doing it again."
"I don't care."
"Is that what you do when you feel distressed? Push it aside like it doesn't matter?"
"Sometimes."
"It's not healthy Paul, you need to let it out." He shook his head and wrote some more before looking at me. "It seems your hour is up, we'll talk some more next week ok." I nod and shake his hand before he walks me out and I see Tali talking with a woman.
"How'd it go?"
"It was ok." I heard her sigh at my dismissive tone and thank the doctor before grabbing my hand and walking out. She walked with me in silence til we got to the elevator.
"Paul, are you ok? If this is too much for you we don't have to do this." I looked at her and saw her worry and loving eyes.
"It's ok, it will get better." I sigh and kiss her as we walk out of the elevator. We walk to my truck and hop in before heading home.

"Babe, can you pass me his cackis!" I yelled from the boys room and heard a ok and saw Travis give me a mean face. "Don't look at me like that mister!" I hear Peter laugh and hear a knock at the door.
"Tali!" I hear the urgency in his voice and put Travis down before rushing out to the living room. I see Paul being hand cuffed and look around frantically.
"What's going on?" I ask worriedly and go to Paul.
"He's being arrested for battery and aggravated assault against my client Evan Price." A lawyer handed me a paper and I felt tears in my eyes. I looked at Paul confused and saw him looking at me sadly as they led him away. I ran after him and felt arms around me holding me back. I saw them put him in the cop car and heard myself yelling and crying. This wasn't happening. This couldn't be fucking happening! I was led back inside by a officer. He handed me some more papers and then let himself out and I felt so alone. I cried and shook until I went to the kitchen and called my father.
"Hello?"
"Dad! Can you come over here please!"
"What's wrong?" I heard him ask as a door slammed and a engine started.
"Paul just got arrested. They took him! They took him!"
"Why? What happened?"
"He beat up Evan because he came here and got in my face and Evan filed charges."
"I'm on my way." I hung up and checked the boys and quieted Peter down. I knew he wanted Paul, he always did when he was like this. I heard the front door and opened it and saw my dad there.
"Get in the car, I'll get the boys and we're going to Sam's. Call Emily, and grab those papers." I nodded and slid on my shoes and jacket and get everything before getting in the car.
"Hello?"
"Hey Emily."
"Nat, what's wrong?"
"Tell Sam to get everyone together at his house. Me, dad, and the boys are on our way."
"Okay, what happened?"
"Paul got arrested."
TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP
"Paul Merez!"
"Yeah?" I asked as I stood and a guard came to the cell.
"Your bail has been posted." I grab my jacket and get led out and see Tali and her dad standing there. The take me to her and I hug her and kiss her and feel her cry. She kisses me all over and then searches my face.
"Are you ok?"
"Yea, how'd you post my bail, it was 600'000?
"Daddy." I looked over at him and felt his hand on my shoulder.
"You ok son?"
"Yea, thank you." I hugged him and they led me out and we got in the car. We passed the house and went to Sam's and I heard everyone inside.
"You okay man?" I felt Sam put his hand on my shoulder.
"Yea, just ticked off."
"It'll be ok. Dad and mom are getting a lawyer."
"Mr. Kyle, you don't have to-"
"You're my son, of course we would help." I feel myself get shocked and then feel like I might cry. I shake it off and hug Tali to me instead. Acceptance. Is this what it feels like?
"Okay, so what are we going to tell the judge?"
"The truth, we are going to set everything straight even before the kids."
"But, you could get sentenced!" Tali yelled and stood. "No, we're going to fight this!"
"No Tali, we aren't." I sighed and rubbed my face. The room got quiet.
"Paul, you can't just give up." I looked into her eyes and saw her tearing up.
"I'm not giving up, I'm choosing my battles. I attacked him. He didn't hit me first so I am going to get the bullshit end of this either way." I sighed and felt my shoulder drop.
"I heard the door slam and felt my heart drop when Autumn and Abi ran after her. I heard her sobbing and felt myself shake.
"Are you sure about this?"
"Possitive." I whisper and sigh as the rest of the girls walk out to her.
"He can't do this! Our family needs him! I need him! I can't do this by myself!" I heard her sobbing and felt like crawling into a whole and dieing. I felt tears come to my eyes and felt hands on my back.
TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP
"Nat calm down!"
"No, the love of you're life isn't going to jail or worse prison!" I yelled and fell to the ground.
"Nat look, think about Paul. You need to stop being selfish." I looked at Autumn shocked.
"How am I being selfish?"
"You aren't thinking about what kind of decision this is for him. Paul is going to jail or prison willingly so that it can reduce his sentencing. If he fights this and looses, he'll end up with more time. He is doing this for you and the boys." I start to shake and cry harder. She was right. I was being selfish.
"I just can't loose him Autumn. I can't." I whisper and feel warm arms circle me.
"You won't Tali. I'll always be here." I heard the others leave us and sat there crying on him. I felt warm drops fall on me and wiped his face.
"I'll miss you so much."
"I'll miss you and the boys more." I sigh and take in his scent.
TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP
"So in the case of battery and aggravated assault how do you plead?"
"Guilty." I heard Evan and his lawyer gasp at my omission and heard Tali cry. I wanted to hug her and kiss her, but I couldn't. And I won't for a while. "Very well, I sentence you to 2 years in jail with 5 years probation." He hit the gavel and I heard gasps and Tali crying. I looked at the bailiff and asked him could I have a minute. I turned and saw Tali with the boys crying. I went to her and hugged and kissed her and felt her shaking.
"I'll miss you."
"I'll miss you too." I felt a hand on my shoulder and turned to the baliff and felt him hand cuff me. I heard her crying harder and turned to her.
"I love you Tali."
"I love you too Paul." I felt a tear slid out my eye as they walked me through some metal doors.
TPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTPTP
"Are you going today?" April asked me as I got the boys dressed.
"Yea, we're guns leave in 30 minutes so we can make it early to spend the day.
"How is he doing?"
"In his phone calls he said he was coping but that he missed us and everyone a lot. And he wants to phase so bad.
"Yea, he'll be ok. Tell him we're all thinking of him ok?"
"Okay I will." I hug her as she heads out. It's been 3 months. They wouldn't let me visit him until all of my paper work and the boys paper work went through. I had to wear a white shirt, with jean pants, and white shoes, no socks. The boys had to wear a simple white onsie. I loaded them up and left my hair down and headed to Seattle Jail. I sighed and drive thinking about Paul. Paul. I missed him so much. I had pictures ready to give him and letters from everyone. At least I'll be able to take the boys to see him every week. I pulled up into the jail parking lot and saw three women waiting already and got the boys ready. I put them in their stroller and locked up the car before heading up there. After 20 minutes, other people showed and they let us in. I walked into the holding and went through the procedures and picked the boys up and left the stroller and went to the yard with the other visitors. I saw Paul standing by the fence and felt myself tear up. Peter started crying and when they let us in, I hugged Paul to me and kissed him all over. He laughed and kissed me back hard before picking up Peter and hugging him. He kissed him and then grabbed Travis and did the same. I hugged him to me and we went to a table and sat down.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too." He sighed before hugging the boys. "They've gotten big!"
"They take after you." I laughed and handed him the letters from everyone and pictures.
"Tell everyone I miss them."
"I will, I'm putting money on your books before we leave."
"Tali-"
"No Paul, let me! I want you to talk to everyone and have everything you need."
"I love you so much."
"I love you too." I sigh and smile and kiss him and we sit with the boys and he plays with them, and smiles at me. He looks more rugged. He had some scruff and looked more built. I felt myself get wet looking at him and saw him tense before looking at me.
"When I get out of here-"
"Time is up!" The guard yelled and I felt myself tear up.
"I love you Paul."
"I love you too Tali, tell everyone I said Hi. Tell your dad I said hi. I'm gunna miss you." I nod and wipe my tears away before grabbing the boys and kissing him. I walked with the other visitors out and waved good bye and then did each of the boys too. I saw him tear up and smile sadly and watch me until I was gone.
+++6 months in+++
"Tali!" I heard my name yelled and smiled at Paul as we hit the corner. I rushed inside and to him and kissed him hard and laughed when he took the boys and hugged them. I sat down and watched them play and smiled wide.
"Get over her!" I giggled and went to them and played with them. It was always like this every week.
"How is Emily with the baby?"
"Brian is good. He crys a lot, but she is stepping into motherhood so good you'd think she was a pro."
"How's everyone else?"
"Seth and Autumn are good, Ryann proposed to Abi. Their getting married in 2 years. Collin spends more time up here now. He said he's going to visit you soon. Dad met a woman! Her name is Evelyn."
"Really?"
"Yea." We got quiet and I hugged him to me as the boys giggled and looked at him happily.
"I'm sorry."
"For what?"
"For ruining our wedding."
"It's ok, I already rebooked everything. I just gotta make sure I stay good looking for my dress."
"You'll always look good Tali." I blush and smile and kiss him.
"Time's up!"
"I'll see you next Saturday ok?"
"Ok, I love you honey."
"I love you too." He kissed me hard and kissed the boys and we walked back into the jail and away from him.
+++9 months+++
"Paul!" I laughed as he picked me and the boys up.
"Happy birthday boys!" He kissed them and swung them around. I laughed when they giggled and cooed and hugged onto him. They looked at him happily and clung to him.
"Here's pictures from the party." I gave him photo's from their birthday party and laughed when he saw them throw cake at Seth. Dad took a picture of us blowing out candles.
"I'm glad I get to be with them for their actual birthday."
"I know." I smile and kiss him and we look at the boys look at us.
"Mama!" Peter yelled and clapped and I smiled wide and picked him up.
"Mama!" I laughed and picked up Travis too and smiled when they turned to Paul.
"Dada!" They yelled and I saw him tear up and smile with pride.
"That's right, your dada!" I laughed and teared up and smiled when he took them and kissed them.
"Time's up!" I sighed and we said our usual good byes before we walked out of the jail.
+++++ 2 years+++++
"Daddy!" I laughed as they ran to Paul and hugged him. He lifted them up and kissed their cheeks before seeing us. I walked over to him and hugged and kissed him. Dad gave him a hug and the others piled around.
"Hey man!" Sam and him hugged and I felt tears in my eyes and saw him look at me smiling.
"I missed you."
"I missed you too." I kissed him and laughed when Dad took a picture. We got in the car and we drove back to La Push. We got to our hhouse and laughed when everyone yelled welcome home and everyone was there.
"Welcome home man!"
"Thanks man." Seth and him hugged and I took his bag and took it upstairs and showed him the boys room.
"I didn't know if you'd want to have it stay blue, but I went with a blue theme. Travis is more of Transformers person, but Peter loves animals." He kissed me hard and hugged me to him and took a deep breath.
"I'm home."
"Your home." I smiled and kissed him and we went back down stairs. The boys wouldn't let him go and I laughed when they gave whoever wasn't me or dad a dirty look for talking to him. We partied into the night and he picked the boys u and they laughed as we got them ready for bed. He tucked them in and they smiled at him sleepily.
"Love you daddy."
"Wuve you wawwy."
"Love you too." He kissed them both and smiled as the nodded off and closed their door and turned the light off. I felt him pick me up and walk me into the room and kiss me. He closed the door and laid me down on the bed before climbing on top of me.
"I missed you."
"I missed you more." I whispered and moaned when he kissed and sucked on my neck. It's been to long, way too long.
"You'll be Mrs. Natalia Merez in 3 months."
"I know." I smile and kiss him and feel him rub my sides before sliding my shirt off. He looks at my chest and smiles before kissing the tops of my breast and ripping my bra off. "Paul!"
"I'll buy you a new one." He growls before sucking a nipple into his mouth. I gasp and moan and shudder when he plays with the other and takes my pants off. I feel heat rush though me and wine when he moves away, only to go to the other breast. He kisses down my stomach and pulls my underwear down and I kick them off with my pants and moan loud when he licks along my folds. I shudder and gasp when he lifts my legs and devours me.
"Paul…"
"I'm not done." He growls before he keeps devouring me and I feel my orgasm coming. I grip his head and cry out when I come and shake from the after shocks. He climbs back up me until he's kissing me and then pulls his cothes off. He kisses me hard and lifts my legs and burrys himself inside me.
"Fuck!"
"You're so god damn tight." He pants as he moves inside me and I shake and fling my head back as my eyes roll. It's been way to long. He lifts a leg over his shoulder and then another and starts pounding into me. I scream and gasp and scratch his back as he pants and growls in my neck. He kisses my neck and then my mouth and starts speeding up and I feel my orgasm coming again. He starts rubbing my clit and I come fast and hard and Scream his name out. Paul starts growling and then shudders before he holds oonto me and comes. We lay there breathing heavily and I gasp as he pumps into me.
"I'm not done."

"I think we have little monsters in the bed."
"Yea, they don't seem to know whose bed their in." I play along as the boys giggle and sit under our covers. I sit up and smile at Tali before stretching. "I hope they don't eat us!"
"Me either! We haven't even made breakfast yet."
"Rawr!" They both yell as they jump at us. I fake scream and see Tali hold her chest as they jump out.
"Oh my gosh! You scared us half to death! We though you were monsters."
"We awe!" Travis yelled as he growled. I laughed and picked him up and then Peter.
"Why don't we say we make breakfast while mommy finishes sleeping?"
"Yea!"
"Paul-"
"Go back to sleep." I see her smile and nod and lay back down as I walk the boys into the kitchen. I sit them on the counter and look at them.
"What should we make?"
"Pancakes!"
"Wacon!"
"And eggs?"
"Yeah!" I laughed at them and put them on the floor.
"Ok, I'll make everything, why don't you boys go watch cartoons for me?"
"Ok!" They yelled with a smile before running to the living room. I went to the fridge and saw pictures of them from every visit. I love her so much, she always stuck by me, no matter what. I pull the food out and make breakfast.
"Boys, foods ready!" I yell and hear them rush in and sit down. I put their food on their plates and then make me and Tali plates and see her walk in.
"Something smells good!"
"Daddy made pancakes and bacon-"
"And wegg!" I laughed at Travis and kissed her before sitting down and we started eating.
"Daddy can we go to the park today?"
"Yea little man, we sure can." I smiled at them and thanked god for my blessings. We finished eating while the boys talked to me and updated me on Bob the Builder. Tali washed the dishes while They dragged me upstairs to get them ready for the park. I took a shower and pulled on some clothes after shaving and helped them get ready. They had on jeans and a t shirt and vans and matched me. I laughed and we walked downstairs to see Tali shaking her head.
"What am I gunna do with you boys?" I laugh and see her start to tear up and smile. "I'll go get ready." I nod and kiss her and sit them down with their toys and turn on Rugrats.
"And that's tommy!"
"Really! What about him?"
"What's Whucky!" I smiled at Travis and then saw Tali come down in a red muscle shirt and some skinny jeans and red flats. I grabbed the boys and put them in their booster seats and drove us to the park. I saw some kids on a jungle gym and smiled at the boys as the ran and dragged me to the park. Tali sat down and watched us.
"Mom! Can we have ice cream?"
"Yes you can." I laughed when they yelled and dragged me to the ice cream man.
"He has the best flavors!"
"Really?"
"Yea, they're so good! My favorite is Chocolate."
"Wine wis Wrabewwy!"
"What can I get y'all today?"
"I'll have one single scoop chocolate, one single scoop strawberry, and two doubled scoop vanillas." He nodded and I paid him and we walked back to Tali. I smiled and gave her, her ice cream and sat the boys down between us.
"Are you having fun with daddy?"
"Yea, he's the best!" I felt myself tear up and felt Tali's hand on my arm. We finish up and get in the car and head home.
"Wowwy, wan we wave waghetti?"
"We're having dinner with Grandpa tonight sweetie. Let me ask him what him and miss Evelyn are making, ok?"
"Wokway." Travis said as he played cars with Peter in the back seat. We pulled into the house and Tali got the toys set up in the living room and went into the kitchen.
"What are you making?"
"Chicken nuggets and fries." I nod and kiss her before going back out to the boys.
"Daddy! You can be optimus!"
"Ok." I smile and take the action figure and play transformers with them. We play and I beat up Mega tron before I hear Tali. We go in the kitchen and eat.
"Honey, you should phase." I look up at her and see her smiling. It had been so long. What if I can't?
"Alright." I smile and kiss the boys heads and then her before going outside. I sigh and feel myself calm before thinking of every bad thing I could think of. I felt myself shake thinking of Evan and phase. I hear gasps and see the boys looking at me shocked.
"Daddy's a wolf like uncles!"
"Yea, he is." I see Tali smile at me proud. I see Travis walk over to me and rub my face and lick him. He giggles and Peter comes over too before Tali calls them.
"Let daddy go run around for a while ok?"
"Ok, see you in a little while daddy!" Peter yells as I nod and run off. I run through the forrest and then realize Seth, Embry, Jake, and Ryann are in my head.
Hey man!
Hey Ryann.
How are the kids?
Their good, attached to me and I love it. Glad to be home.
Glad you back! Was too quiet without you!
Haha! We laugh asnd then I think of my time gone. Was she ok?
She was struggling at first, but after the visits she got better. She really missed you man.
I missed her so much, I'll see you guys later. I get back to the house and phase. I stretch and see pants folded by a tree and pull them on. I walk inside and see the boys howling.
"What's going on?"
"They want to be wolves." I laugh and shake my head.
"Will I be a wolf like you when I get older?"
"Yea, you will. Or you'll be like mommy."
"Mommy said we can't see hers. Not til were older."
"Then listen to mommy."
"Okay." They said in unison before growling. We got them ready and then left to see Mr. Kyle and laughed when he hugged me tight and then the boys.
"Grandpa!"
"Oompas!" He picked them up and then sat the down before letting us in. I saw a woman with honey blonde hair and fair skin walk in. She had bright blue eyes and she looked more mature. She had a apron on and smiled wide.
"Hi Miss Evelyn!"
"Hi boys! You must be Paul?"
"Yes ma'am."
"Welcome home." She smiled and hugged me. I smiled back and got the boys seated and sat next to Tali.
"Waghetti!" Travis yelled when he saw it on the table and we all laughed.
"How are you doing?"
"Good, happy to be home." I sighed and we all caught up. Turned out Evelyn was a werewolf as well and had no children. We finished eating and got the boys ready to leave and headed home. I put the to bed again and heard Tali in the shower and took my clothes off. I went inside and closed the door before opening the curtain.
"Paul!"
"I'm gunna join you." I whispered and got in behind her. I pulled her to me and kissed her neck and heard her moan. I rubbed her sides before cupping her breasts and her heat. She gasped and shuddered while I worked her. After we had sex in the shower and bathed we went into our room and laid down.
"Paul, I missed you so much."
"I missed you too." I whispered and held her to me. "Everyone still is coming for the wedding?"
"Yea, they'll be here." I felt myself drift and clung to her as sleep over came me.
