Chapter Twenty

Mr. Wolfie (For lack of a better title)

Nessie

I awoke early the next morning, I could see the dawn over Nahuel's head and smiled at his sleeping form. I gently replaced the blanket over him and decided to check on our daughter. I walked quietly into the room and was surprised by what I saw there. Only yesterday she had been about six months old in human years now she looked about three, her legs stretched out as far as possible in the cradle, I had never grown this fast that much I was sure of. I gently undid the bars and picked her up holding her sleeping body in my arms. Her hair was so beautiful red gold ringlets spiraling down.

Mommy? She asked sleepily and I smiled taking her to the small chair and rocking her gently.

"Its early go back to sleep." I told her.

Alright Mommy. She nestled against me as I rocked us both gently. Her breathing became soft and steady and I looked down at her, still so small sleeping peacefully in my arms. Her little lips were curved in a smile and I gently kissed her forehead. I continued to rock with her in my arms until Nahuel came into the room. He stopped smiling at us and I smiled back putting a finger to my lips. He nodded and got closer to our daughter bending down beside her.

"She is so beautiful." Nahuel said and smiled up at me. "So full of life." I nodded and he took my hand gently kissing it. "I know that she will grow to be a strong woman like her mother." I blushed as Amelia shifted in her sleep, her nightclothes were torn from the growth spurt and I had only rapped her in the blanket. One hand came out and moved slightly in her sleep. I smiled down at her.

"Maybe she is like her father as well, Daddy will be surprised to see her red hair." I told him.

"Why?"

"His mother Elizabeth had red hair." I replied smiling at one of my father's memories.

"My mother had black hair, but my father he also had red hair." Nahuel told me and I was surprised.

"Really? Your sister's hair is dark like yours." I said and he smiled.

"I know, her mother was also darked haired, the reason he chose South America was that in those days it was still mostly wild." He told me. "The people had not yet been tamed to a modern lifestyle, or even the desire for it." I sighed I enjoyed listening to stories about how it was hundreds of years ago, first hand. When I was little I would go around plaguing Carlisle for stories of the world he was born into and his life. I almost wanted to meet with Aro for the stories he could tell me, I loved them that much.

"Go on." I encouraged.

"We lived on the outskirts of the village, too afraid that we might harm people to go in. My earliest memories were of seeing other boys my age, running playing and longing to be like them. After a while my Aunt told me to sleep during the day and I obeyed her for some time before going into a sort of teenage rebellion, that I could never quite shake off afterwards." I laughed.

"Nahuel you are not a rebel, I don't think you would see a rebellion if it waltzed in front of you and screamed Rebel rebel rebel." I told him and he shrugged.

"Just because we can't all be like your Uncle Jasper doesn't mean that someone can't fight for their freedom." He said and I laughed. Amelia muttered in her sleep and snuggled closer into me. I slowly stood and keeping her wrapped close to me walked out the door of the little cottage which had always been my home. Nahuel fallowed behind me knowing that I wanted to see my family somehow.

We walked together into the living room and I smiled seeing Rosalie and Emmett sitting on the couch together watching the morning news. "Good morning." I said and sat down besides them. They stared at Amelia and I smiled. "She had a bit of a growth spurt in the night."

"A bit of a growth spurt? Reminds me of when you were little and you were constantly growing." He said smiling. "Little Jumping Bean, that's what I used to call you."

"If you did it now I'd little your jumping bean, I'll jump on you in a trice." I told him and he laughed.

"That's my little Mountain Lion." He said and I grinned, like my father and mother my favorite blood was mountain lion. I growled and Amelia awoke with a start staring at me for a moment frightened.

"I would never hurt you my little one." I told her gently. "Although you Uncle Emmy is a different story." She laughed delightedly and smiled up at Rosalie.

I want clothes. She said and Rosalie smiled.

"And you will get them, I will go into the room." She said and she nodded pulling the blanket around her and sitting up in my lap. She smiled and rose shakily to her feet. I held her hand and I smiled as her hand clasped warmly around mine. She's shaky on her feet but her steps show the grace to calm, the promise of strength and agility. Rosalie leads us to the stairs and I scoop her up.

"Give it a little time and then you can go up the stairs yourself." She nodded not wanting to bother with the mind speaking. Rosalie took her to my Mommy's and Daddy's room and knocks on the door outside.

"Edward? Bella?" She asks and they call for us to come in. My Daddy is reading the paper and my Mommy is reading one of her romantic novels. Daddy puts down the paper and stares at Amelia.

"She looks exactly like my Mother." He said dazed and I smiled before Rosalie pulls open the cupboard. I smile as Amelia reaches up with one hand to one of the dresses. I help her get dressed as Rosalie does and I smile at her. She stands a little more certain on her feet and she giggles suddenly spinning around until she gets dizzy and falls down. She sits there laughing at herself and at life in general.

Its fun! She says delighted and walks up to my parents bed trying to get up, Edward helps her and she smiles looking over my Daddies shoulder as he flips to the comic section and reads it to her. She laughs and her laughter makes him laugh as well, she is so bright and beautiful.

We stay in the room together the five of us for a while before Nahuel came up. "I think you should go to the pack alone, its better that way." He said and I nodded.

"I'll go as soon as Amelia wants to."

Will the puppy be there? Amelia asked and I laughed, she was calling Sammy a puppy.

"I don't know." I replied. "I don't think so though, she might still be recovering from her hurt leg."

Alex?

"I think that he will be there." I replied and she grinned.

Food first? She asked and I nodded.

"Come on, we can slide down the banisters together." I told her and She smiled enthusiastically.

I would like that. I took her hand and we went to the staircase together I slid down it, Amelia laughed delightedly.

"Are you hungry or thirsty? Would you like milk and blood or something else?"

Cereal? Please with milk and blood?

"If that is what you want." I replied and poured a bowl of cereal for her she ate it delicately although she was at first puzzled at how to hold the spoon and make it so it didn't spill, a carefully tucked napkin insured that she wouldn't spill onto her dress. She finished and looked expectantly at me.

Can we go now?

"Of course." I replied and smiled at her as she took my hand. We walked together to my car and I drove to La Push with her buckled up, I needed to get a buster seat for her as soon as possible. I smiled standing outside the door of Jacob's house I missed him I realized. I took out the key and unlocked the door, closing it softly behind me. The pack is huddled on the floor together fast asleep and I smile at them, they acted like a pack occasionally, like the wolves they so often took the form of. It was still early and I smiled watching Jacob snore loudly his head almost invisible buried in Paul's back. They were all here even Rachel, Paul's arms curled around her as he slept.

I decided to make them breakfast, they would no doubt think that I abandoned Jake when it had been a misunderstanding. I checked the fridge and found enough ingrediants to make pancakes, I put Amelia on the counter letting her watch me cook, I smiled as the pack's noses twitched and Seth awoke. Seth came over grabbing me in a hug and stared seeing Amelia.

"This is my daughter Amelia." I said smiling. "She's either a day or three years old, depending on your perspective." I told him.

"She's beautiful." He said. "Is Nahuel the father?" He asked.

"Yes, Abigale told us that if we had a child we would be surprised at the results." I replied no need to tell Seth about Embry imprinting before she saw him.

I like you, your like my Daddy. Seth whirled around startled and I smiled.

"She can communicate with people mind to mind, it might grow stronger with time, but she likes to hear people's voices." I said smiling.

Its funner that way, I don't often look into minds, it gives me a headache. Well using my gift in general gives me a headache but talking is worth it. He stared at my little girl and she laughed delightedly. I smelled pancakes and quickly flipped them.

"So what brings you here?" He asked me and I shrugged.

"Can't I see my pack brothers?" I asked him in reply.

"You seemed uninterested in the welfare of the pack on your birthday." Seth said and I blushed.

"I thought Jake was..."

Gay, does that mean he's happy?" Seth's mouth dropped open, he tried to say something but only a sound much like ahgh was the only one he could make.

"Gay?" He finally managed.

"I heard Leah and Jake talking and I never saw him close to a woman." I told him and he stared at me.

"Jake gay?" He managed and then he let out a whooping laugh. "Oh that is good."

"I am glad that you are amused by my folly." I told him and Seth unashamedly wiped the tears of mirth from his eyes. I put the pancakes on a plate and handed it to him. "Here eat this and maybe you'll be so occupied with chewing that you won't tease me."

I don't get what your saying, why is he so amazed that Jake is happy?

I laughed. "Being gay means that a man likes other men, or women like other women although the proper term for that is a lesbian." I told her and she looked at me.

Then I am gay, I like men and woman, I like everyone.

"As you should, ask me again when your older and I'll explain it to you better alright?" I asked and she nodded.

That looks good can I have one Mommy?

"Sure honey." I replied flipping over pancakes and throwing one off the grill onto a plate, I could flip pancakes alright, it didn't take much concentration and it was simple enough. Flip when the bubbles pop. I smiled at Seth as he watched me cook. "Could you cut that into small pieces for her? So tell me how was patrol."

"We haven't been doing patrols. Sam's got some new wolves that do them for us, I feel sorry for him having to control a bunch of teenagers."

"Teenagers?" I asked laughing. "Maybe I'll pit myself against them sometime, could be fun. The rest of you are too experienced not a very fair fight as you've been doing this longer then I have been alive."

"Well technically we are pretty much all teenagers, although they are a bit more cocky." Seth said and I smiled.

"Excelent, I'll teach them that the vampires aren't pussies if Sam wants me to take them down a few levels then I would be glad to. Just so long as my parents and Nahuel aren't told."

"Your always up for a wrestle aren't you?" He asked and I grinned.

"Well Emmett taught me and I just happened to love it." I replied and he laughed smacking me on the back, as far as he was concerned I was forgiven. I finished a stack of pancakes as Alex started to cry. I put down the spatula and got him from the cradle, Leah practically leaped up when she heard him cry. I smiled and handed him to her. "There are pancakes in the kitchen if you would like them."

"Thank you." She said going into the kitchen and staring as Seth had stared at my daughter.

"This is Amelia my daughter. Amelia this is Leah."

Hello Leah. She said to me. Can you become a doggy I want to see a doggy. I stared at her but Leah only laughed.

"Well she is precocious." Leah said and I blushed.

"I am sorry." I told her and she shrugged.

"Its alright, although I don't much like being called a doggy." She took Amelia's gift easier then Seth.

Then can I call you a kitty? She asked playfully and Leah laughed again, I liked Leah she was tough but she had this amazing other side to her. It was her more sensitive side that came out whenever she looked at Alex.

"I don't think anyone has asked to call me kitty, its dangerous for you to be around us when we transform we can control ourselves to a certain extent. Not enough to transform quite on command, how would you like it if someone ordered you to read thoughts?"

I wouldn't, I don't like reading minds it seems personal. She replied and I smiled at her. I am sorry. She was too I don't think anyone would be able to lie in their thoughts, despite how much I have tried as a child. She was so much more powerful then me already my daughter.

"Its alright." She replied. "Nessie's pancakes more then make up for it." I smiled at her Leah didn't give out complements easily. Quil was stirring now and he sat up.

"Good morning." I said cheerfully. "Would you like a few pancakes?"

"What do you mean by a few?"

"How would half a dozen serve?" I replied and he grinned.

"You know us too well." He said and stood blushing off his pants. "We really need to vacume in here." I laughed the guys often said it but they never did it.

"Yes you do." I replied and then he saw Amelia watching me cook with her hand in her mouth.

I'm Amelia, that's my Mamma, she makes the best pancakes, Leah says. I wouldn't know I haven't tried other pancakes yet but I like my Mamma's."

He stared at me and then smiled. "Nice to meet you Amelia, is Nahuel your Daddy?"

Yes, he's the best Daddy in the world! I smiled at the simple statement. Guess how many I am."

"Three?"

No silly a day. He stared at my girl again and I shrugged.

"I like your hair its pretty." He told her no doubt thinking of a safe subject and she smiled.

Thank you, I wish I had Mamma's hair though, its brongy. I want to spring my hair back, but I can't.

"You can play with mine after I finish cooking." I told her and she smiled delighted.

You snore. She pronounced and giggled.

"Oh really?" Quil asked and scooped her up tickling her, Quil was so good with children, partly because he was a big child himself.

Really! She giggled from his tickling waking up Paul, he sat up groggily rubbing at his eyes shaking slightly. Paul had a temper even with Rachel at his side. Good morning Polly I am Amelia. She said and Paul's shaking redoubled no one was allowed to call him Polly but Rachel. He exploded into his wolf form. Doggy. Her mind voice was awed. I stood in front of Paul.

"Don't you dare to try to hurt my daughter." I told him and he stared at Amelia who to my surprise and to that of everyone else jumped off the counter and placed her small hands around Paul's.

Your funny. I like your personality, are you a Daddy is Rachel your Mommy?" She asked and everyone stared at her. Daddy and Mommy love each other like that and Mommy loves Jakey like that. Are you a Daddy?" She appeared to be listening to Paul's thoughts and she smiled, stroking his fur. Your a good wolfy." A good wolfy but surprisingly Paul was very gentle licking her face, before making a noise in the back of his throat. She let go of him and he went into the other room the guys often used to transform.

"Don't provoke anyone into shifting." I told her.

Why they won't hurt me. I know they won't its in their minds, otherwise I would be scared but I like doggies and wolfies. I smiled and picked her up throwing into the air, she giggled as I put more pancakes on the stove holding her against my hip as I flipped a batch for Paul. I made a dozen knowing that he would be hungry from shifting and passed it to him once he came back out dressed.

"Well she is strait forward." Paul said and I grinned, not surprised that she had told them, she was a child and children did some things that Adults wouldn't.

"Yes she is." I replied as Jacob snored, I sighed and went into the living room sitting between him and Rachel smiling at him, his face was more drawn then on my birthday and he whimpered a little in his sleep, I couldn't help but think I had done this to him.

"Nessie." He muttered. "Don't leave me Nessie." It hurt my heart to see him this way. I gently stroked his dreaming face.

"I'm right hear Jakey." I said softly, I continued to stroke him until his snores and whimpers ceased. His eyes were shut tightly and I smiled. "I'm here Jakey." I said softly and his hands reached up blindly to me. I smiled and took them in mine.

"Nessie?" He asked opening his eyes and hugging me close to him. "You came." He said and his eyes were full of tears I felt myself crying as well, because I didn't know what to do. I had fallen for two men and I didn't know what to do about it. I hated hurting people and I loved Nahuel with all my heart but seeing Jacob like this I knew I couldn't leave him to be miserable.

"I came Jakey, I was confused but I know the truth now." I told him. "I won't abandon you."

What about Daddy, he promised!

"Its alright Amelia, I won't leave your Daddy either." I said to Jacob. "Either one of you could leave me however, but I ask you not to ask it."

"I would never leave you and if Nahuel makes you happy then..." He paused and I knew the words were hard for him to say. "Then I can be happy too." He said smiling. "I tried to fight for a woman who loved two men once and I lost, I won't make the same mistake again." He said and I smiled at him helping him up.

"I'm making pancakes would you like some?" I ask him and he nods. I go to the pan and start to make pancakes for Jacob. He smiles watching me and then my daughter pulled at his shirt.

You like my Mamma don't you?

"Yes I do." He replied and she smiled nodding.

Alright then Doggy I suppose its alright then. He raised an eyebrow and laughed as I gave him some pancakes.

"Would you like some of this?" He asked and she nodded sitting on his lap as he cut up a fourth of a pancake and gave it to her. She ate it smilingly delightedly.

Alex says its better with blood. I like it this way. He stared at me and Alex reached out from Leah's arms. She clapped delightedly and after eating a few more bites slipped off Jacob's lap and went over to Leah. Alex smiled and so did Amelia. Alex wants down, he wants to play with me, he says he has a ball. Her eyes grew wide at that word and I knew that a visit to the toy store would soon be in order.

"Alright then." Leah said and set Alex down, he crawled into the room coming back a moment later with the ball. He smiled and pushed it toward Amelia who shrieked with delight and passed it back to him they passed the balls back and forth for a while before Amelia palmed the ball and smacked it past Alex, it however hit Embry smack on the face he sat bolt upright and stared at Amelia with astonishment. I watched his eyes seeing the need to protect and to take care of my daughter in them. I smiled at him as Amelia ran up to get the ball.

Can I have the ball? She asked smiling and he nodded passing it to her.

"Sure." He replied dazedly, she didn't even seem to notice and went back to her game with Alexander. Embry's eyes fallowed her as she rolled the ball back and forth. I smiled at my daughter playing with the ball, laughing delightedly and making Alex laugh. She stopped her game and went up to me pulling at my pants.

Thirsty Mommy. I looked apologetically at her before I sat on her lap and allowed her to bite my hand. I let out a hiss as she drank my blood. She finished soon though and looked up at me with such love and absolute devotion in her eyes, the devotion I felt towards my own Mommy as every child felt about their parents. Thank you. I held her close to me gently bouncing her on my knees. Can I watch a movie? I want to see Balto

"I don't think they have Balto honey." I replied. "What movies did Nahuel give you for Alex?"

"Beauty and The Beast, Cars, Monster's Inc. and Finding Nemo. I don't know why he gave us Beauty and The Beast, maybe some sort of humor." Leah replied.

"Its not funny." Embry said and I smiled.

"Well then if you want to watch a movie Nessie then we will watch a movie." I told her and she smiled delighted.

Can I sit in your lap? She asked and I nodded pulling her into my lap and holding her there. She was delighted by the movie and laughed at several points, unlike Alex who hid his head in Leah's shoulder she watched the whole thing through. Again?

"A little later." I replied and she nodded, I put in another movie and moved to the rocking chair I could tell by her thoughts that she was getting sleepy. I sat in the chair and she climbed into my lap as I gently rocked her back and forth. Her eyes closed and then opened then closed again. Soon however she gave into the rocking and her chin touched her chest. I gently moved her in my lap cradling her head as Embry watched me. I stood up and went over to the couch.

"Would you like to hold her?" I asked him and he stared at me before nodding, his lip being slightly bitten.

"Since when have you been interested in toddlers?" Seth asked.

"Since I imprinted on one." Embry replied.

"Abigale left because she knew that you had a crush on her not a true imprinting. If you had shifted the rest of the pack would have known and assured you but I suppose that was partly my fault." I admitted and sat next to Jake. "Did you tape the next wrestling match?" I asked and Jacob ginned.

"Yeah, Seth did in case we wanted to watch it." He replied and slipped the tape into the screen, I laughed at the gesticulating males, the WWE was all show compared to UFC. Amelia awoke and looked up surprised for a moment. Then she patted Embry's face.

Its alright, play with me? I want to wrestle sometime.

"Alright." Embry replied smiling. "I think you need to get a little older first." She nodded smiling.

Alright Mr. Wolfie. I laughed at Embry's stunned expression as she turned to face the television.I've been looking forward to this, its why I wanted to visit and Mommy was thinking of someone who would be Daddy to my children one day. Embry stared at her his mouth agape trying to form words. I like you you don't need to speak, you like me too lets be friends for now that's all that matters isn't it that we like each other?

"You knew?" He asked.

"Yes, Abigale told Nahuel at the same time as she told Nahuel that Jacob was my imprint." I said. "Her gift is finding the best possible futures for individuals." Embry stared down at Amelia.

Duck!, he didn't duck! Take a knuckle sandwich. It was a bit offsetting to hear my one day old daughter to speak like one of the pack. She continued to comment throughout the fight. Embry was grinning from ear to ear at the end.

"Well you know the basics." He admitted.

The basics? How many people who are a day old can gesticulate about wrestling matches? She demanded and Embry laughed.

"You already sound like an old married couple." Seth said and Embry cuffed him upside the head. Alex awoke soon after that and looked about yawning smiling when he saw Amelia.

I'm going to play with Alex. She slid off of Embry's lap and pulled Alex off of Leah's. He was surprised and fell a bit hard, I could see the gears in his brain working, deciding whether or not to cry. I am sorry Alex I didn't mean to, I wanted to play. Alex nodded and crawled to where the ball lay abandoned. He smiled and pushed it to Amelia who pushed it back, then she threw it, he smiled delighted and threw it back sitting on the carpet she did the same, she popped the ball in the palm of her hand and Alex caught it easily. I turned on the match again seeing that they were being watched by Embry and Leah.

We watched two more matches before I decided that I needed to leave, Paul and Rachel had both left a little while ago. "I'll be taking these two home now."

Is he really going home with us?

"Yes he really is." I replied and picked him up holding him in my arms. "I was wondering if you knew if I could barrow Sammy's buster seat, I want the children to be safe, and I want to take a bit of a shopping trip tomorrow to pick one up."

"I'll call and asked, they won't be happy about it smelling like leech but the way I figure it Sam and his pack owe you." Jacob said and I smiled.

"I believe I have influenced you or rather my family has." I said and he laughed. He went over to the phone and dialed Sam's number.

"Hello Sam, I was wondering if I could barrow a car seat, its for Nessie's daughter or Alex if you prefer." He paused and smiled. "Thanks Sam they will walk to get it." Embry and Leah breathed a sigh of relief.

"Alright but we are going to run." I replied and Amelia smiled leaping on my back. I took Alex in my arms. "Put your feet in between my arms and hold my arms around my neck."

Alright Mommy. She replied.

"Could someone hand me Alex? I have a little monkey on my back." I said and Amelia laughed.

I am not a monkey Mommy. She said as someone handed Alex to me.

"Ready? I can only run at a human pace." I told them and Alex nodded firmly as I took off running towards Sam's. We got there in about five minutes and I knocked on the door. Sam answered and nodded at me.

"This your daughter?" He asked and I nodded.

"Her name is Amelia." I replied. "She's Embry's imprint." I told him and set her down gently. "How's Sammy doing?"

"Her leg seems healed but we don't want to take off the cast unless Carlisle tells us to."

"Let me look at it, I was homed schooled and Carlisle taught me about medicine, I could most probably write a medical exam for a degree." He stared at me and I shrugged. "I taught myself to read at the age of six months, I think I can manage some wounds." I told him and went inside, Collin was holding Sammy who was squirming eager to see the other children.

Can we play with her? Amelia asked and Sam stared at my daughter.

"I think once she is old enough she will be able to talk to people mind to mind." I told him smiling. "Why don't you and Alex play for now Amelia? Could they use Sammy's ball while I check her leg."

"Yes." Sam replied tight lipped and I smiled.

"Thanks it will keep him occupied." I said and checked the leg gently taking off the cast. "The cast needs to be changed anyway." I said unwrapping it gently reveling the leg beneath.

"Why if you know medicine did you call Carlisle?"

"I was tired, its best not to be tired when setting a bone." I replied and smiled down at Sammy. "Move your leg please, if it hurts gasp alright?" She nodded and moved her leg back and forth slowly, it would make sense for it to be stiff, she let out a little hiss.

It hurts a bit, she actually asked me for contact, it didn't hurt my head at all!

"Well you can have access to my mind anytime." I told her.

Its different, she's my age so she can let me in easier then older people, that's why I broadcast. It was much easier when I was inside of you Mommy for me to communicate with you.

"How does it hurt, is it like a newly scraped knee or a bruise."

She says more like a bruise. I smiled.

"Do you have any ace bandages, you have taken her off medication right?"

"As soon as she wasn't crying out when it was bumped." Sam replied. "As Carlisle told us."

"Good then it should be back to normal by the next day or the day after after at a stretch." I told him. "Do you have any ace bandages I can use, throw a ball for her while you have her sit down she's bored and that's the main reason why she's squirming so much." I told him and smiled as I heard my car pull up, Jake got out smiling and handed me the keys.

"Thats a nice car." He said and I smiled.

"Thanks I better be getting these two home." I said and he nodded. "Come on you scamps." I told them grabbing the car seat that was by the door. "Thanks Sam." He nodded as I stepped out and fastened the car seat into the car. I then buckled them both into the seats and took the wheel of the car, Jake was most probably talking with Sam. It was getting on towards twlight and I smiled driving home.

Nahuel was waiting at the door to the cottage smiling. "So how was Jake?"

"Good, well much better after I assured him that I loved him." He looked down at the floor. "But I love you too and I can't decide between the two of you no matter how selfish it is." He grinned up at me. "If you don't mind living with Jake and won't leave me I won't leave you. If you decide to go however I won't stop you and we might meet up in a century or so either way, either share me or not because I love you both more then anything except for maybe our daughter."

"I am so happy that you said that." He replied helping me unbuckle the children and get them inside the house, I saw that Alice had gotten a nightgown for Amelia that should fit for a few months if not for the first few years, she had cleverly attached Velcro to the outside, sowing on lace to mask it. I put her into it and Velcroed it down to fit her. It hung off her a bit but I smiled, she looked so cute like that, she yawned and I sat with her in the rocking chair.

"Sway to and fro in the twilight gray,
This is the ferry for Shadowtown;
It always sails at the end of day,
Just as the darkness is closing down.
Rest, little head, on my shoulder, so;
A sleepy kiss is the only fare,
Drifting away from the world we go,
Baby and I in the rocking chair,
See where the firelogs glow and spark
Glitter the lights of the shadowland;
The winter rain in the window, hark!
Are ripples lapping upon its strand.
There! where the mirror is glancing dim,
A lake lies shimmering cool and still,
Blossoms are waving above its brim,
Those over there on the windowsill,
Rock slow, more slow in the dusky light,
Silently lower the anchor down!
Dear little passenger, say "Good night" -
We've reach'd the harbor of Shadowtown." I kissed her gently on the forehead and laid her in the bed, her eyes were barely open.

I like your song Mommy. She said before sleep claimed her, Alex had fallen asleep already in Nahuel's arms and I smiled at the two of them together as he gently laid him in his cradle. He smiled at me and I went to my room to get into my nightgown, he came in a moment later wrapping his arms around me and I heard as his breathing deepened into sleep. I touched his forehead gently and my own sending a picture of me Jake and him. His sleeping mind was able to process the image and shift it into his dream. I smiled when he was having a good dream of having someone else that I loved to protect me against vampires and other things that went bump in the night. I relaxed and allowed myself to go to sleep.

AN: I couldn't have Nahuel gone, I think I have grown to like my charictor too much. Nessie loves both of them equally. The Lullaby is supposedly a old one I am not sure though I looked it up online and loved it thinking it very appropriate for a Twlight Fan fict. I am really suprised at the amount of people who seem to like this story and who have been reviewing broken.hearted.dark.angel and barbiedoll123 does this answer your questions? I was origenally going to have Nahuel make a great sacrefice and leave her but I can't do that with Amelia. She came out of the blue and I think every little girl should grow up with her biological father, I am really writing this as I go along. I will try to update tomorrow but I will leave you for a few days with a very long chapter, as I am on a school camping trip. The next chapter will most probably will be not as long, then again this is my longest chapter ever six thousand words I don't know how that translates but it took me all day to write. I write as I get ideas so I don't know how long each chapter will take but once I am back in school and can't spend every spare moment doing what I love to do, (That's write if your unsure, oh and reading I love reading got any good fanficts? pass them along:) Bye until the next chapter Sarenel Soria
