Jake
Yesterday was crazy. I'm glad I have the late shift cuz me and J didn't even fall asleep until 5 in the morning. Her plane leaves tonight at eight and I really don't want her to go. I know she's coming back on Thursday, but I still don't want to be away from her. Jula opens her eyes and kisses my chest "Good morning imprint" she smiles. "Good morning love" I smile back leaning down to kiss her lips. "I don't want you to leave babe" I say sadly. "Baby I'm coming back in four days, besides aren't you sick of me yet?" She asks with a wink. "Babe I could never get tired of you." I say as I start to tickle her. "Jake!" she yells through her laughs. "I surrender I surrender! Do whatever you want just no more tickling!" She says laughing. That was not a wise choice of words. "Hmmm anything I want?" I say huskily. I hear a knock on the door. Damn! "Come in" J says. I see Embry giving Briar a piggy back ride. "We're going to the diner for brunch, you guys coming?" He asks. J turns to me and smiles "Please can we go. I promise we'll behave this time. BRIAR" she says glaring at B. "I already promised no more fights this week." Briar said smiling. "It's our going away brunch." She adds. "Get ready love birds!" She yells and Embry walks them towards their room. Just then I hear Jula's phone buzz 'I'm about to lose my mind, you've been gone for so long. I'm running out of time. I need a doctor, call me a doctor. I need a doctor, doctor, to bring me back to life' She runs to her jeans from yesterday and pulls it out. "Uhhhh, bitch" she groans. I hear the woman on the phone. "Hello, Mrs. Spencer". How are you and Briar doing?I know you are practically attached at the hip. "We're doing fine thank you". Well that's nice. I am calling to remind you that you are scheduled to come in this Tuesday for your yearly tests, exam, and contraceptive shot. "Actually we will have to cancel our appointments we are moving to Washington Monday." Well your shot expires this week. "Yes I understand that my shot expires Wednesday" Ok well you girls will have to use alternate forms of contraceptives then, I don't want you girls in here with anymore pregnancy scares. "Thank you for your concern but we will be fine until we find another clinic." What area of Washington will you be moving to? I can see if we have a sister clinic there. "La Push Washington." Alright let me check one second, it seems that our closest clinic is in Port Angeles. Are you familiar with the town? "Yes it's the next town over from us." Would you like me to send your records over to that location? "Sure go ahead." Is Ms. Cordero there? I need her consent to send her records as well. Ya I'm gunna put you on hold and I'll get her" J says walking down to Briar and Embry's room. Why is she getting tests is she sick? How many pregnancy scares has she had? No never mind I don't want to know. I hear her knock "You guys better not be doing it! It's that old bitch Mrs. Spencer from the clinic. She's transferring our records to Port Angeles and needs your ok. She's also gunna spill you a lecture since our shots up Tuesday" Jula yells through the door. I hear it open and Briar groan "Hey Mrs. Spencer" Jula walks in and over to the closet to pick out clothes. "Today is a sad scrub kinda day." She says. "What was that about babe? Why are you getting tests and shots? Are you sick?" I ask worriedly. "No they just make you do STD tests and gyno exams before they are allowed to give you the birth control shot. How did you hear all that?" she asks "Wolf hearing" I shrug. "And baby you don't have to get that shot anymore. I wouldn't mind having a bunch of babies, when you're ready of course." I say with a smile. She smiles at the idea and then gasps. "Oh my god can you hear all the stuff I whisper?" she asks. "Most of it, because of the imprint it is easy for me to pick up on your voice" I say. "So did you hear what me and B were whispering at the bonfire last night?" she asks worriedly. "Yes so did all the other guys. And I'm glad you think I have a golden tongue" I say standing up to hug her from behind.
Jula
Oh my god. He heard everything? Oh shit that means all the guys heard what we were talking about. About Em being a sex whisperer and faking orgasms with Paul. Hahaha serves Paul right that he heard! I gotta tell B "BRIAR!" I yell running out of Jake's arms into Em and B's room. "They heard everything about the sex whisperer and the golden tongue!" I yell "What the fuck are you talking about that sounds like a porno based off a Harry Potter title or something" B laughs. "They can hear our whispers with their dog hearing! That means last night all the guys heard us." I explain. Briar's eyes get huge "NO!" She turns to Embry. "Did you hear all that stuff?" she asks "You mean about me being a sex whisperer who makes you want to speak in tongues? Yes. I am happy to report Paul did as well. Also we all heard that you faked it with him and that he was a no good cheater. There were other names in there but I forget them now" He says cockily. Briar groans and hides under the covers. I laugh and make my way back to my room to find Jake setting his phone down and wringing his hands staring into space. I notice he does this when he's nervous or upset. I crawl on the bed behind him and wrap my arms around his chest. "What's wrong baby? I can tell you're worrying about something." I say kissing his cheek. "Oh it's just wolf stuff babe." Maybe if I try to love on him he'll tell me. I kiss up and down his neck and nibble on his ear. "Let's get ready to go." He says pulling away from me. That's weird he never brushes me off like that. I decide to just throw clothes on no heels, no revealing shirts, just a chill out day since we're gunna be on a plane and everything. I don't feel like doing my hair either so I just throw a hat on. I make my way out to the living room and see Bri decided the same things since she's wearing a jersey and sneakers. Embry is holding her and whispering something to her. Him and Jake are wolves together so if Jake's worried about it why isn't Embry? We all get in the truck and I whisper to Bri "Jake's acting all weird. Do you think he's mad at me? I was kissing on him and he just kinda shot me down. That's never happened. I don't know what I did." I whisper. "You forgot that they can hear us hun" She sighs. Oh shit. "Oh shit! Forget it" I grumble. I can hear Jake hit his head against the seat. Well I guess I just made it worse if he is mad. We pull into the parking lot and make our way towards the door. Bri and Em are holding hands as they enter. Jake stops and turns to me. "Baby I'm not mad at you. And I'm sorry if it felt like I rejected your kisses this morning, but I have a lot going on in my head right now. I'm an Alpha. That means I'm my pack's leader and there's a situation going on right now that is a pretty big deal. I'm sorry if I upset you. I didn't mean to. When we get home I promise if you kiss my neck like that again I will give it the attention it deserves." He says walking towards me. "I understand you have a lot of work stuff going on. It's ok. By the way I hate that I can't have secret convos with B. Can you just tune them out?" I ask. He laughs "I will try baby. I love you. Are you sure you have to leave today?" He frowns. "Ya, but it's only so I can officially move in with you. Silver lining" I say kissing his cheek "Come on I'm feeling pancakes" I smile and lead him into the diner.
Briar
The day has went way too quickly. Isn't that always what happens though? Days you want to pass fast drag by, and when you want them to be longer they go by like that. Embry is now driving us to the airport. "Do you really need all that stuff babe? Can't we just get it sent up here?" Jake asks with a frown."Jacob I need my car. How are they gunna send that?" Jula laughs. He grumbles. We all walk towards the doors. I know soon they won't be able to go any farther with airport security precautions. Am I actually really this upset right now? I know I'll be seeing him Monday. That's only two days away. I think I'm gunna for real cry when we say goodbye. What happened to me? Imprinting I think answer myself with a smile. "I'm sorry ladies, they'll have to drop you off here" A guy in uniform says. Jula turns slowly to Jake. "K babe this is it." I see the tears threatening her eyes. Embry pulls me off to the side. "Baby I'm gunna miss you so much. Please promise to be careful. Call me as soon as you land. Don't talk to anybody you don't know. Stay close to J. I love you. It kills me that I won't be there to make sure you're all right. Promise to be careful?" He says all at once. I feel a tear slip down my cheek, but refuse to let anymore fall. "I love you so so so much Embry Call. I promise to be careful. I'm just gunna throw all my shit in my car so I can hurry up and come back to you. No folding clothes or hangers or anything. I'll just smash everything in. I promise I'll stay with J and be very very careful." I say grabbing on to him. "K I gotta go now baby. I love you" I say as I bring my head up to his lips. We kiss passionately before I pull away to walk towards the gate. Me and J walk towards the escalator. "I LOVE YOU" Jake and Embry yell form the spot we just left them. I blush "WE LOVE YOU TOO" we say laughing and waving. My smile stays on my face through the whole boring plane ride. Jula's nervous because her mom is picking us up. She has yet to tell her about moving. We step off the plane and head down the escalator to baggage claim where J's mom is waiting, even though we didn't bring anything since we'd just have to lug it back. "How was your trip?" She asks us both. "Great me and B are actually gunna move up there. We already have an apartment lined up and jobs and everything. Real jobs at a day care." Jula jumps right in. "So you're just up and moving?" Her mom asks. "Yes ma. This will be good for me. I need a new start. I need to be around new people. I already am such a better person from being there. I'm not stripping anymore and I've laid off the drugs. I figured you'd be happy. Aren't you the one telling me to get clean and straighten out my life?" She asks desperately. We get in the car and she drives us to our apartment. Just as Jula's getting out she asks "Is this because of a man?" "Yes. I did meet someone. Ma you'd love him. He's so nice and sweet and he treats me right ma. He isn't into drugs. He has a good job and comes from a respected family. He's never been to jail, has his own place, isn't covered in tattoos, and doesn't have any kids. He's like infinity times better than all the other men I've dated." She gushes. "This is the stupidest thing I've ever heard. You'll move there and you'll be stuck. You've only been gone a week. Are you just going to throw your life away on him?" She yells. "I was throwing my life away before him. He's helping me save it. Why can't you see that?" J screams slamming the door and stomps up to our door. I unlock the door for her and she runs into her room. I dial Embry. "Hey baby!" He says excited. I see Jula come out with an armful of clothes as she slams the door walking outside. "Hey honey. J just got in a huge fight with her mom about Jake. I think We are packing all our stuff tonight and heading out a day early most likely since she" I'm cut off by the slam of the door and a angry scream coming from J. "Yes we are most definitely leaving early. Did you hear that? Have Jake call and do damage control." I tell him. "Ya she sounds super pissed. How are you doin babe? How ya holding up?" He asks. "Fine. Missing you and ready to come home, but fine." I say with a sigh. "Briar!" I hear Jula yell. "OK baby I'm being summoned. I'll call to tell you goodnight alright baby? I love you." I say into the phone. "OK baby I love you too soo much." He says as we hang up. "Ya J?" I ask walking into her room which looks like a tornado hit it. There are hangers everywhere and random clothes strewn all about. "Pack we're leaving first thing tomorrow!" she says with a huff. "I figured." I reply as I walk into my room to pack all my stuff. Five hours later we have everything packed into our cars. I call Em and tell him goodnight and fall asleep on my bed/ Laine's new bed. We gave all of our furniture and house stuff to her since the boys already have that stuff. She was so happy she cried. She promised to visit for our weddings since she has a hunch we will marry the boys. I fall asleep dreading the almost three day car trip. As soon as I fall asleep it seems, Jula is nudging me "Come on we gotta go!" Oh my god it's 6 am! Three hours of sleep is all we got. I'm gunna have to buy energy drinks by the case!
Embry
This is driving me crazy. Since I imprinted I haven't been away from Briar for more than a few hours. Now she's clear across the country. I guess it's worse for Jake though since he can feel how upset she is and how far away she is. Jake called to smooth everything over and I guess she stopped screaming which is a good thing. I can't help but worry about them driving that long distance. It's almost a two day long drive, and that's without stopping to eat or sleep. I'm freaking out in all honesty, she could crash or someone could hit her. What if she gets hit by a semi? She could get put in the hospital or worse. I take a deep breath and cringe. My imagination is already running wild with all the bad stuff that can happen to her and they haven't even left yet. Jake comes in my room and it look like he had about as much sleep as I got, which is 0. Jake checks his watch "Time for patrol" he says wearily. I know we are going to drive ourselves crazy thinking of all the ways our imprints could get hurt. He'll think of ones I haven't and then I'll have more to worry about and vice versa. Patrol ends up being slow and uneventful. When we phase back I check my phone. The girls left an hour ago. I text Briar .'Hey baby. Don't txt back 2 this. No txting n drivin! I just wanted to say I love you and can't wait till you make it home. Love you – Em'. About six hours later Briar finally texts back. 'Just stopped for gas. We're in Illinois. It's Illinoying ;) Haha your girl's got jokes. Love you so much baby!- Bri' She's so cute. 'Good one babe, I expect funny state jokes now every time you stop. Love you too- Em'. Eight hours later I get another text. 'In Minneapolis aka Minnecrapolis. Not my best 1 but what can ya do? ;) Tell Jake to talk to J. She won't let us stop for food n babe I'm soooooo hungry. Love you babe- Bri' I laugh. "Jake talk to your woman dude. She's starving mine. They've been driving 16 hours straight without stopping for food man." I yell down the hall. "What? K!" Then he mutters something about Jula being crazy. My phone buzzes 'Thanks babe. Does the Alpha order work on imprints? I swear J just got one. We are getting a hotel for the night thank god. Love you love you love you –Bri' I laugh. I'm about to text her back when Jake comes in my room. "Hey man they stopped for today. Alice says that the vamps are coming Friday night. The rest of the week we're running patrol shifts and training shifts. You have patrols at 11 and training at 4." Well shit double duty. I really hate the Cullen's. If they would have never moved here our land wouldn't have to be protected 24/7. "All right man" I say. I'm watching tv when Bri calls "Hello baby. Guess who it is? It's your cross country trekking lover! Do you miss me?" She asks "Of course baby! So you're in Minnesota? When are you coming home to me? I can't sleep without you love." I say honestly. "Maybe late tomorrow or early Tuesday." She replies and I can tell she's smiling. "Ok Jake's got me doing doubles so if I don't text you back right away that's why." I say. "Ok honey. I really miss you and if I wasn't so tired I'd stay up all night and talk to you but I can't keep my eyes open. So I'm going to sleep. I love you so so much Embry Call." She says and makes a kiss sound into the phone. "I love you to baby sooooooooooo much. Goodnight love" I say into the phone as we hang up. I can't fall asleep so I just lay on my side of the bed and wish Briar was here beside me. The alarm buzzes and I realize I must have finally fallen asleep. I look at my phone and find I have a message from Bri 'This crazy girl woke me up at five am! We are getting ready to head back out on the road love you! – Bri' and 'I've heard this song on the radio 34 times. I just want to be home now. No joke for North Dakota its 2 early. Love you baby –Bri' I text back 'Aww no joke I feel cheated. I have double patrols then working at the store so its gunna be a long day. Love you baby- Em'. I walk out to start my double.
