A/N This is it, there is a sequel I was writing. Didn't finish it maybe I will now. But I have a few more episode of Doctor Who to finish first.
Chapter 15
Chapter 16
Adam Pov
The wolf in me was pacing, just two more days I kept telling him. Just two more days and Mia will be finally ours. After so many years we were both getting impatient and Mia hasn't been helping matters. She was always kissing me; she knew I can't break an order given to me from my alpha so she would just toy with me.
"Ow" I heard J.J yell as the tailor accidently pricked him with a needle.
"I'm sorry, I just don't understand, did you grow or something" the tailor said apologizing.
J.J just shrugged, he knew he might phase one day, but with no cold ones around we didn't think he would. He never did when we visited Rose and Emmett why would he suddenly phase now. Maybe it was the stress of the wedding, maybe it was being seventeen and he was still growing.
After we finished the alteration J.J and the rest of our pack disappeared on me. This was fine I had to go have lunch with Bella. My phone rang and it was Rose I picked it up curious on why she was calling.
"Hey Rose, everything okay?"
"Of course Adam everything is fine; I'm just calling to tell you something. Emmett and I are sorry we can't come to the wedding."
I knew this, Mia was so sad when Jake and Bella told her they couldn't come. Mia had went a visit them to buy a dress in New York. I wanted to see it but she told me I had to wait.
"Me too, I know how close you and Mia are, I miss you guys." I said she has always been sweet to me, I still bad about phasing at their place a few years ago. I hadn't phase in seven years, but Mia had a nightmare and Emmett wouldn't let me in her room, so my wolf over reacted and attacked him. Rose had Mia come out and calm me, I was afraid she forgot I was her wolf she knew as a child, but she just came to me and told me to calm down. I did I always did what she said, and she knew it.
"I have talked to Carlisle recently and we've decided that we won't be coming back to forks and that our old home would be a perfect wedding gift. That is if you want it."
She sounded hesitant, like I would be offended by her offer. We had planned on staying at Mia grandmother house until we found our own home so this was perfect.
"It is a little away from the Rez but it's not too far away and it's in the wood." She said she went on about it, describing the rooms and the property. It sounded larger then what we needed but with her family I knew the house would always be full.
"That sounds great, can we not tell Mia I want to surprise her?" I heard her start squealing and saying that's fine and she'll have her lawyer do all the paper work.
She told me to take loads of picture for her and give Bells a hug when I see her. I agreed and hung up the phone.
I looked inside the café and saw my grandma serving Bella some juice, we have all told her she can retire and stay home but she loved working. I entered and they both gave me hugs and asked how I was.
"Pretty decent, and very hungry" I reply pulling Bella chair back in for her.
"Always such a gentleman aren't you Adam, I bet you treat Mia with the same respect." She said folding the napkin back into her lap.
I blushed a little, most of time Mia sits in my lap and not a chair, so I nodded as a response as I took a seat across from her. Bella has been like a mom to me since mine just left. Not that I minded, Grams has been great and if mom had stayed I don't think I would have met Mia. Bella had taught me and helped me graduate from home so that I wouldn't have to explain why even though I was eighteen, I only looked twelve. I wanted Mia to feel comfortable around me and grow with me so that she was more comfortable with the imprint.
"So Adam, two day left how are you feeling?" she asked as she started eating her chicken dinner. I haven't seen her eat like that since she was pregnant with J.J.
"Nervous, excited, impatient, hesitant, worried, elated." I paused while grams handed me a sandwich and fries, then handed Bella a large slice of cake.
"So I'm thinking about using this kind of cake for the wedding what do you think?" she asked us, I tried to get a bite from Bella's plate but she just growled at me stabbing my fork back.
"I'm guessing that's a yes" grams said laughing she said she would bring me back a piece when I was done eating.
"Sorry" she mumbled as she continued eating.
"I feel like a complete mess, I still haven't found a present for Mia." I admitted taking a bite of the food.
She laughed and touched my hand. "Adam, she knows you love her and I don't think she will care what you get her."
"I know but knowing her she has gotten me something amazing and I have nothing." She smiled at me and got into her purse, she pulled out a little wooden box.
"Maybe I can help" as she pushed the small box towards me with a smile on her face. I open to box and was a pearl bracelet it had tiny diamonds twirling around it. There were also matching earrings, a single pearl with another diamond swirl. They looked old and a little worn. Mia would love them, another perfect present for her that isn't from me. I sighed and closed the box and tried to smile.
"They were Helens, my grandmothers, my grandfather gave them to her the day they were married" she paused and touched my hand again. "You can say they are from you."
That was sweet of her, but these were too important to the family for me to take credit for. I shook my head and gave her back the box.
"They are beautiful, she will love them. I think you and Charlie should give them to her." I paused and looked at the perfect smile she always have. My Mia has the same smile, they didn't look the same really but they did have the same smile. "Can you help me this afternoon; I think I have an idea."
"I have a final fitting with Mia in a couple of hours but sure." She said sneaking her fork in the cake grams had just brought me. I laughed and gave her the rest of my cake. After we finished our food and said bye to grams we left. I open the door for her and she adjusts the scarf around her neck. It was dark green silk woven one, it had fringe at the end which fluttered in the breeze. She looked at me and gave a nervous smile, she always seemed so strong at home but in town she was always self conscious that people were staring at her neck.
"Well Adam where are we going?" She said putting her arm in mine, I started walking towards the car to head into town towards antique store ,I couldn't remember but I think they had jewelry there.
We entered the store and the owner came to say hi and just started squealing "Bella Swan Oh My God! Where have you been." And ran towards her, I step in front of her about to growl when she put her hand on my shoulder and said it was okay.
"Angela, I've been in La Push. And its Black now, been that for almost twenty years." She said hugging the woman. The owner looked a little confused and nodded.
"I'm so sorry I didn't know, I left town after graduation, I just came back a couple of years ago." Angela said showing Bella the store.
She nodded towards me and I came forward and shook her hand. She looked at me in amazement, a lot of woman do. It makes me self conscious.
"Is this your son" she asked looking at Bella with confusion again. We both started laughing and Bella shook her head.
"Not yet but give him two days, this is Adam he is marrying my daughter in two days. We are trying to find the perfect gift for her."
Angela squealed again, I asked her if she had any jewelry she said of course and lead me to a counter in the back. Bella joined us and handed the box to this Angela character. She opened it and looked at with wonder, and asked her where she got it. They chatted some more while I looked at the case below her. There were rings and earring and some cheesy looking things from the eighties. Nothing really jumped out at me for her. I looked back up at them, Angela was cleaning the necklace and earrings and they were still catching up.
"I don't know maybe I should just accept defeat and make her a card." I said running my hand though my hair feeling about ten inches tall.
They both looked at me like I just fell of a bike or something and look at each other.
"Come here" Angela said pulling a velvet tray out from the counter. I hadn't seen the tray since it was so close to them. It had about ten different pearl necklaces on it. I felt a sigh come out of me and Bella ran put her hand on my back and looked with me.
"Think any of these will work, Tadam." She always used that name when she was teasing me. Mia had trouble with my name she called me Tadam till she was about four.
I threw her a smile and kept looking at the necklaces, most of them were just strands of pearls. They were pretty but I couldn't see Mia really wearing any of them. Then I saw it, it was a single pearl it looked like it was floating on twist of diamonds. The pearl was a different shade of white then the set Bella had but it looked like it matched it. I pointed to it and Angela picked it up and handed it to me. It was on a delicate white gold chain, it's perfect she'll love it. She took it back and put it in a pretty box and even wrapped it in some silver paper. I asked her how much and she was about to tell me no charge it was a gift from her.
"No" I barked, they both looked startled, I ran hand across my face trying to calm myself. "I mean everyone has been giving us gifts. I want this to be from me." They both laughed and Bella gave me a hug.
"Okay no problem." Angela said, I paid for the necklace and waited for Bella to get done chatting. I help Bella into the car and drove her to the dress shop. I saw Mia getting off her mother's old motorcycle and take her helmet off. I've asked her a million times not to ride it but she had a mind of her own and wouldn't listen to me. After I opened the door for Bella and helped her out I ran to Mia and scooped her up in my arms.
"Put me down" she giggled as I spun her around a few times. I obeyed as always and kissed her forehead as I put her back on her feet.
"I'm sure your dad or anyone else would have driven you here" I reminded her as I walked her to her mother. They hugged each other and smiled at me. I just looked at them; you would never guess they are related until they smiled. Bella was a little on the short side and so pale, she had wavy brown hair and dark brown eyes. My Mia was so beautiful though, she had warm tan skin like the color of honey; she had dark straight brown hair. She was so much taller than her mom but still shorter than me. She had hazel eyes; unless she was mad then they shifted to a dark green.
"You are going to stare at me all day?" Mia asked with a smirk on her amazingly soft lips. I gave her a hug and kissed her lips softly.
"No my darling, not today, I know you're busy" I kissed her again and held her tight against my chest. I asked Bella when I should pick her up, because I knew Jake would kill me if I let her on that bike. She made a face that made me worry.
"Jake is picking me, I think you might be busy" she said motioning towards the street behind me.
J.J was coming for me. Crap, I asked them not to do this.
"It'll probably be just a bonfire and a lot of drinking. I wouldn't worry too much and don't I repeat do not let J.J drink." Bella said putting her hand on my shoulder.
"I'll come later on honey, I'll bring some of the girls it will be okay" Mia said kissing my check before the guys got there.
"Hey sis, I'm borrowing Adam for a little bit." J.J said putting his arm around me.
She didn't look amused and just waved at him as she entered the store, blowing a kiss to me as she passed by the window.
"Okay my sons, you know the rules so behave yourselves, love you both." Bella said hugging us as she went into the store as well.
"So future brother you ready to party" J.J asked I tried to explain I wasn't up for it.
"You're going" he barked, normally I would have kept arguing but part of me couldn't. This worried me a little but it is something I will have to dwell on later.
We got into my car and turned on some rock music and gave me directions to go to the store then the beach. I pulled away stealing one last look at Mia in the store before we left.
Part two
Mia PoV
I gave him one last wave as he drove off, hoping that idiot brother of mine wouldn't get him into too much trouble. My mom was talking to the woman who was doing the alterations on my dress. I looked at the veils they had there and all the other little thing they had. I took my bag and went to the dressing room with my dress in it. I took off my boots and peel out of my dark jeans. I pull on a little silk slip skirt and took my leather jacket and green camisole off to put on a strapless bra. The lady knocked at the door to help my get into my dress. She made sure all the buttons were buttoned and everything was in place. It was a vintage dress, it was made in the thirties, Rose and I had found it in New York when I visited them. It was light and airy and had crystal beading though out the whole dress. Rose wanted me to get something a little more modern but when I saw it I had to have it. We had found a veil that was modern but Rose insisted on it. It was just a large cream colored rose with cream netting that would cover my head and just below my eyes. We had the dress maker add some crystals to it so it would match the dress better.
I walked out into the show room to show my mom. She hadn't seen the dress yet, she had felt bad for not letting Rose come to the wedding so she let her buy my gown. There were making sure everything still fit on her dress.
"Miakoda, you look beautiful" she said looking at me smiling almost crying. She's been crying a lot lately, dad said it's because of "the change". I think it's the thought of her baby growing up. She came up to me to give me a hug dragging a seamstress behind her.
"Ma'am.. can… umm. I… "The poor girl was still attached to her, mom got a few steps before she realized and apologized to her. I laugh I couldn't help it; the whole store did including mom. Once she was free from the girl she came to give me that hug being careful not to wrinkle it.
"Mia it's perfect, just perfect." She said wiping some tears from her eyes. I gave her a kiss on the head and ask her if everything was okay with her dress.
"Apparently I ordered the dress a half size to small or I need to stop sampling Tiffany's cake….I'm going to go with ordered it to small." She said walking back over to the seamstress smiling until the girl asked her to take her scarf off. She became very nervous and hesitant; I asked the girl if she would give us a minute. I took mom into my dressing room and handed her a small box I had in my bag. I had gotten it when I had visited Rose. She opened it and inside was a white lace scarf; the lace had a rose pattern in it and was very thin and long. I never asked my mother how she got the scar on her neck; it was by far the largest on her. It was in a crescent shape and was always cooler than the rest of her body. It didn't look nearly as bad as it did when I was a child but she was ashamed of it. No one was allowed to see it; I don't even think Adam has ever seen it.
"Thank you Mia" She said clutching the scarf like a small child would hold a new toy.
I helped her take off the green one and fixed the new one around her neck and brought her out of the dressing room. Claire had walked in while we were getting mom together.
"Mia, Bella you both look amazing." She said hugging us both. She went to the dressing room and got into her Matron of Honor dress.
"So how do I look, not bad for an old married lady huh?" she said showing off.
"Aw shut up you got married last year, I remember when you use to throw mud at Quil " Mom said adjusting her dress.
Claire just stuck her tongue at her and asked me about my dress. She was a few years older than me but she was my best friend.
"Quil wants us at the bonfire after dark, hopefully they don't get to wasted." She said changing back into her street clothes. I knew Adam wouldn't be he doesn't drink and mom will kill J.J if he does. "Let's go back to the house and change." She said as we put the dresses in her car. I nodded as I put my helmet on. I was about to take off when I heard my dad yelling my name over the motor.
"Miakoda Renee Black, can you explain why you're on the bike?" I looked over and there was my dad looking menacing and very angry. I bit lips and muttered a string of obscenities before I turned off the bike and took of my helmet.
"I had an appointment in town this morning and a fitting this afternoon. Everyone is so busy with everything and I didn't want to bother anyone." I said as I gave him a hug.
"You are not a bother to anyone, we just worry about you" He said kissing the top of my head.
"Honey relax, she is a lot less clumsy then I was at her age," Mom said as she came out from the store.
I loved watching my parents greet each other; it doesn't matter if it's been ten minutes or ten hours they always acted like it had been ten years. He pulled her into a big hug and kissed her lips while she entwined her arms around him. I hope in twenty years Adam and I are still that much in love.
He went to the bike and checked it out and looked at me and started to laugh a little.
"I'm sorry baby girl I can't let you ride the bike home. You know the rules about bike gear." He kept looking at me feet. I looked down and saw that I still had on the white heels. I laughed and pulled my boots out of my bag.
"Your mom and I are going to a movie tonight, but rule number one is still in place." He said giving me a hug then helping mom into the car.
I drove to my grandma lake house, I love it here. I saw Claire car in the drive and that she had already brought the dresses in and had the radio on. I do love this house but I don't want to live here, it's the family retreat.
"What took you so long?" She asked dancing in the kitchen making popcorn. I put my helmet on the counter and joined her in the kitchen. I picked at the popcorn while we talked about the music and flowers for the wedding. She picked up my flat braid and sighed. She ordered me to go take a shower and get dressed.
"Should we be crashing his bachelor party?" I yelled from the shower.
"I'm right here" she said from the room I was using "and yes, he never was a bachelor so this is more of a pre wedding party."
I scrubbed my hair and rinsed it out getting some soap in my eyes.
"What do mean he's never been a bachelor?" I ask getting out and drying off.
"Sweetheart that man has been head over heels in love with you since he was seven years old. He married you in his heart the day he met you."
As sweet as that sounds I have to shake that image out of my head because he met me when I was five days old. I just smile at her while she goes though the clothes I have already brought over. I get dressed in some jeans and another camisole with my jacket. She looks at me and shakes her head. She throws me a denim skirt and strapless top with little green flowers on it.
"It's a bonfire, can I please wear jeans at least." I pleaded as I stomp back towards the bathroom. It didn't matter what she said I was wearing jeans.
"Fine but you're wearing heels" She said I could her changing shirts and groaning in disappointment. Quill thought she was beautiful no matter what she wore, she reminded me of Rose sometimes. I came out and sat on the bed next to her. I put on the green heels she put out for me. I hate wearing them but Adam rarely lets me walk on my own so I wasn't too worried.
"Its suppose to be chilly tonight" I said grabbing a light white jacket as I headed out the door to her car. I fiddled with the radio waiting for her when my phone buzzed.
"Hey baby, are you on your why yet." He asked I could hear the guys in the background making fun of him.
"Waiting on Claire, she is having a fashion melt down. She doesn't like my clothes I think." I said resting my head the head rest.
"Well I like your clothes, and tell her to hurry, I need you." He pleaded I could hear J.J being obnoxious as usual.
"How's my brother, behaving himself?" I asked honking the horn trying to get Claire downstairs.
"Decent I guess just being annoying, mad that we won't let him to drink." He said it sounded like he was beating someone away from the phone.
"I love you sissy. You need to come here now. These old men are boring without you two." I hear J.J yell towards the phone.
"You know it's not to let to back out." I said half kidding "No one would blame you, I mean you'd be related to him in two days."
I could hear him laughing and hitting Adam again. "No baby in two days you're mine"
The blood rushed to my face, in two days he no longer had to follow my fathers' orders about me. I was nervous, we have kissed but he has never taken it farther than that.
"Baby you still there" he said interrupting my thoughts.
"Yeah, I see Claire, we should be there in twenty minutes, I love you." I said as Claire closed the door to the car. She sped off toward the beach. Quill had called saying he needed her. We arrived at the beach and the boys had a radio very loud.
I walked towards the beach and saw Adam sitting watching J.J wrestle with Michael Ulley. I stumbled a little over a rock, before I could even think of falling Adam was there with his arms. He picked me and kissed me. His tongue swept past my lips exploring my mouth. My tongue intertwined with his as he held me closer to him. My arms went around his neck and he picked me up my legs went around his middle. Without meaning to I moaned gently into his mouth. He broke our kiss and looked at me with frustration.
"You're killing me Mia, really baby, you're killing me." He said throwing me over his shoulder and walking us to the beach. He sat down on a log near the fire and put me in his lap. He rubbed his head against my neck and played with my hands. Michael had beat J.J so he gave he punched him in the shoulder and walked towards us.
"Hey sister" he said picking me off Adam lap and spun me around. I screamed and started hitting him till he returned me to Adams lap.
"I'm going to miss picking on you. You sure you want to run off with gramps here." He said pointing towards Adam. Everyone teased him about his age; he was seven years older than me but only looked like his was twenty one.
"Watch it boy" Adam said growling at him. They had to be a little careful there were some here who didn't know what Adam was.
"Yes, brother I am sure" I said wrapping my arms around Adams next kissing his check.
"Jacob Charles Black Junior" Dad yelled from the car. I saw mom get out and just look at us. She motioned for J.J to come there.
"Guess it's time for me to go home." J.J said looking slightly disappointed." Are you two staying at the cabin or coming home tonight?" He asked giving us a hug before heading towards the car.
I looked at Adam waiting for his answer, since dad gave him an order he's been allowed to stay the night with me. He seemed to be weighing his options.
"We're going to stay at the Cabin with Quil and Claire." Adam said as J.J went up the path towards the car.
I waved to mom and dad, mom waved back and dad glared at Adam, held up one finger and whispered something. I couldn't hear it but I knew Adam could. He just nodded and looked at the ground. My parents drove off towards the house and I turned to my Adam.
"Well Mr. Call how is your bachelor party going" I asked wrapping my arms around his neck. He sighed and kissed me on the lips softly.
"Better now that you're here. " He said picking me up again. My legs wrapped around him yet again. He sat down on the log and got lost in our kisses.
"Seriously do you have to do that?" Quil said throwing a marshmallow at us. Quil had kept phasing with Adam. Claire was three when he imprinted they look the same age now but he was fourteen years older than her.
"Yes, I do" Adam said breaking our kiss and stared at my face. He played with a lock of my hair near my face. He was smiling and not taking his eyes of me. I could feel myself wanting him in every way possible. He inhale deeply and got that look in his eyes that scares me sometimes.
He wrapped his hand around my hair and he pulled my face towards his. He kissed me roughly and urgently. He pulled my body into his crushing my chest against his. I wanted him; I wanted to know every part of him. All the nervousness I felt before melted and a new sense of urgency took over as I held him tighter. I could feel his attraction growing underneath me.
He broke our kiss and stood up. I was still wrapped around him; he peeled my legs off of him and put me on the ground. I felt a low growl coming from him and he kissed my hands.
"That wasn't fair" He whispered in my ear kissing my neck then running off towards the ocean taking his shirt off before he dove into the waves. He started screaming into the waves and swimming around. It was November so the water must be freezing; I wasn't going in after him.
"Look what you did to my baby nephew." Embry said walking up the path with Elena his mate. She was five years younger than my mother and blond. He hugged me and looked out at Adam.
"You can't keep tempting him; his wolf can't handle the pressure from you and from his alpha." He said sitting down next to Elena on the log near Quil. They both stared at me like I did something wrong. I could feel the blood in my face, I'm glad it was dark and they couldn't see how red I was.
"I didn't do anything." I said walking towards Claire car; she kept an extra pair of shorts in there for emergencies. I also grabbed a blanket from the back, not that he would need it. When I got back the two older wolves were still talking, Michael had left taking the rest of the young men with him.
I walked to the edge of the ocean and called to him. He growled and kept swimming. I left the shorts and blanket on the beach near him and went back to the fire to warm up.
"He growled at me." I said sitting next to Claire and Quil.
"You're lucky that's all he did. His wolf has been waiting forever for you. It's tired of being told no." Embry said as he handed me some hot cocoa.
"He only has to wait two more days, poor girl I don't think you know what's in store for you." Quil said nudging me with his shoulder.
The blood rushed to face again and I thought I was going to be sick. I wanted to get up and run home and never leave my room every again, when felt his arms come around me pulling me into his lap. His hair was wet but had used the blanket to dry off his body and changed into the dry shorts.
"Sorry baby" He whispered into ear pulling my closer into his chest. He felt me shiver and held me tighter.
"Are you trying to scare my mate?" He said to them while kissing my shoulder.
"Just warning her for what's going to happen in two nights." Quil paused "Maybe sooner depending on his wolf."
"Maybe sooner" Adam mumbled as he buried his head into my hair. This made me feel uncomfortable again, could his wolf override an order from dad. I held his hands and look at the ground.
We sat around and ate smores and talked about nothing and everything for a few hours. When I noticed Claire yawns and stretch her arms.
"Well boys we have to get home, Mia and I have some last minute wedding things to do in the morning" She said getting up.
Quil and she walked to their car as Embry and Elena put out the fire and cleaned up. Adam scooped me up and carried me to his car. The whole way to the cabin he was silent and holding my hand kissing it every now and again. He was deep in thought, I was curious to the mental war he was battling.
We finally arrived at the cabin and he opens my door and picked me up and threw me over his shoulder. He still hadn't said anything to me; he carried me up the stairs and into our room. He set me on the bed and kissed my forehead. I reached up to kiss him and he caught my hands. I felt a low growl coming from him as he moved my hands towards him. His lips were inches from mine and he had that look in his eyes that he had at the bonfire. I felt him pull my hands lower and and press his body closer to me. I began kissing him pulling him into the bed with me. He groaned, getting up and walked out the door. He locked the door behind him; I could see his shadow under the door pacing back and forth.
"Adam, Adam please let me out" I started banging on the door. "What's wrong, Adam please let me out." I slumped to the floor by the door silently pleading for him to open the door. I didn't know what happen, I felt hurt and confused.
I heard him slumped to the floor by the door and I could hear him breathing. He began to bang his head slightly on the door.
"Mia, you have to stop." He said banging his head again. "I can't disobey my alpha" He sighed heavily and kept banging his head.
"Adam stop banging your head." I said touching the door where I knew he was hitting.
"I love you Mia, but I can't trust myself around you right now." I heard footsteps coming up the hall. Then some whispering, I heard Adam get up and sigh. After a few minutes Claire open the door and came in.
"You are going kill him you know." She looked at me on the floor. I had started crying apparently so she got me a washcloth and told me to calm down. There was a loud howl from the woods behind the house. It's sounded sad and full of need.
"He said for you to go to bed, he'd be back once you're asleep." She said getting some pajama out.
"Quil and I heard him slam the door, we thought you two had gotten into a fight."
I looked at her and got up "I don't know what happen, we got home and then he walked out,"
She laughed and gave me a hug.
"Baby girl for the last eighteen years he was waited for you, first as your friend but now he wants more."
I knew what she said was right but I still didn't understand why he locked me in the room away from him.
"But why did he lock me in the room?" I said going into the bathroom to change.
"Because Jake is still his Alpha, when he gives an order he can't go against it. His wolf is fighting the order so hard right now." She said. "Now go to sleep, we really do have a busy day tomorrow."
I was tired and so I told her goodnight and got into bed. Without him next to me I had a hard time falling asleep. I tossed and turned but after an hour I fell asleep from exhaustion. I heard him come in and close the door, it woke me up slightly but I knew if I said something or got up he's leave again. He curled up behind me, he smelled like the woods. His warm arms held me close to him and he pressed his lips against my ears.
"I love you." I stirred in his arms and said I love you back. He cautiously held me; worried I might wake up some more.
I fell back asleep in his arms; I was looking forward to spending every night in his arms
