Chapter 14 – Slippery Little Suckers

It had officially been two months since Kaitlyn had gotten amnesia. Katherine didn't have the heart to tell her out right that her father was the one who had abducted her and also had gotten himself killed in the process. She would wait until she got her memory back.

Dr. Cullen had taken over Kaitlyn's care once she'd been back in La Push. Paul was not exactly happy with that, and was even less happy when Dr. Cullen told Paul flat out that he shouldn't be around Kaitlyn too much until she got her memory back. She would continue to be confused and stressed out because she couldn't remember him and it could cause the amnesia to last longer if she spent too much time trying to force herself to remember everything and everyone.

Paul ran through the trees at top speed. His grey paws digging into the Earth below him as he continued to run like his life depended on it. When he finally got to the clearing where they would cliff drive he stopped as his over large body collapsed to the ground letting his breathing become normal again. His chest was tight as the pain continued to radiate through it.

Paul missed Kaitlyn something fierce. He would sit outside her house in his wolf form and wait to see her; she'd taken to going for walks through the forest. He would follow her at a safe distance, because he didn't want her going by herself. He stayed in his wolf form in case he smelled anything that was out of place.

Kaitlyn looked up at the green leaves on the huge trees at the tree line; it was so beautiful her eyes turned down as she stepped into the forest. Normally she wouldn't go until later in the day but she woke up and just decided she needed to go for a walk. She started getting familiar scents that would give her déjà vu moments, but considering she didn't have any memory of her life for the life she had two months before she woke up in the trunk of a car. She was highly frustrated.

Kaitlyn missed Paul. She'd only been around him for the first week she was released from the hospital. Her concussion was long since healed and gone. And she was annoyed with Dr. Cullen for telling Paul to stay away from her. She didn't know why but she could feel this undeniable pull to Paul. She didn't know if it was because of them being engaged before the amnesia, but not seeing him was killing her. She wondered if it was hurting him as much as it was hurting her. She felt like she was being watched but she really didn't care she wanted to see Paul. She'd begged Jake to take her to him or to just give her Paul's address, but he wouldn't go against the doctor's orders.

Before Kaitlyn knew it she stepped out onto the beach and let the ocean breeze flow through her hair. She walked over to one of the larger boulders sitting in the sand and carefully climbed up it and sat on it. She wanted to remember him so bad, she wanted to remember everyone. She sat watching as the waves crashed into each other. The tears slipped down her cheeks as she ached to see Paul.

Paul could feel her. She was crying. She was in pain. She'd cried several times in the last couple of months. Paul had to go see her, he had to. He couldn't keep himself away from her anymore. He could sense her at the beach; she went there every day…Paul took off running to the beach. At this point he didn't care anymore about what that leech Dr. Cullen said, he wanted his fiancée back and he would fight like hell to help her remember everything…The good and the bad of their relationship together.

Kaitlyn calmed herself as she stood and started to slide down the rock and onto the sand, when she slipped and fell on her butt and smacked the back of her head on the rock. Knocking her out. Her body slid down the rock and into the sand at the bottom of the rock.

The consistent pain he'd felt since leaving Kaitlyn the last two months had suddenly stopped and all he could feel was nothing but darkness. He knew something was wrong and forced himself to run faster. Paul stopped at the tree line and re-phased pulling his shorts on and took off running when he saw someone lying in the sand. His heart fell into his stomach when he saw it was Kaitlyn. If he'd been with her nothing would've happened.

Paul gently brushed his hand against her cheek, "Kaitlyn, Wake up please baby." Paul couldn't help let a couple of tears slip down his russet cheeks. Kaitlyn's eyes fluttered open as her eyes focused on one person and one person only. Kaitlyn's hand came up and touched Paul's cheek, "Paul what is going on?" Paul's eyes opened as he looked at Kaitlyn, "Kaitlyn baby, Are you okay?" Kaitlyn rubbed the back of her head as she slowly sat up and Paul helped her stand up, "How did I get on the beach? The last thing I remember is saying bye to you when you went on patrol and telling me you had something to show me."

Paul's eyes widened, he was suddenly aware she had her memory back as he grabbed her and practically smashed her to his body. Kaitlyn could feel his warmth spreading through her body as she patted his arm, "Paul…Baby what is wrong? Why are you crying?" Kaitlyn pulled away as she grabbed Paul's face in her hands and her soft lips kissed away his tears, she could tell he'd clearly been stressed about something.

Kaitlyn stood there and listened wide eyed as Paul explained everything to her. She almost couldn't believe her dad had abducted her, she was sad to know he'd gotten himself killed; he was still her father even if he'd caused her to have amnesia and lose two months of her life. Paul captured her lips in the most passionate kiss he could lay on her. She wrapped her arms around Paul she felt as if she hadn't kissed his lips in years.

Paul pulled back and placed feather light kisses all over her face, "I love you so much Kaitlyn." Kaitlyn tried to catch her breath as she kissed his lips a few more times, "I love you too Paul." Paul wrapped his arm around her, "Let's get you home you're mom is going to want to see you. Katherine and Billy have been worried. So have Jake and the rest of the pack and Mela." Kaitlyn nodded as she snuggled into Paul's side.

Paul was so happy his Kaitlyn was back. Now all he had to do was show her his surprise and marry her and his life would be complete.
