Chapter Seven

Brianna

I awake at noon feeling as though I have a terrible hang over. I groan and gently put Seth's sleeping palm to my head. I feel better at once although hot. I gently remove his hand and stretching untangle myself from his arms. He moans softly and his arms grab at air for a second before I settle back into them laughing softly. Honestly one would think I am a favorite stuffed animal. I listen to his breathing and know the moment in which it changes to that of wakefulness.

He groans and sits up holding his head in his hands. "Werewolf hangovers are a bother and you don't even get to get drunk." He moans again and I gently put my hand on his forehead. He relaxes against it for a moment and smiles contentedly at me. I remember that in the course of the night I am no longer a virgin.

"You do sort of, and you have to admit mating in wolf form was fun." I say and he laughs.

"It was, a great way to have your first um time." He says blushing. "A bit unconventional though."

"Yes." I reply and we both laugh at once. Which makes us laugh harder I get out of bed and put on my jeans and shirt. "I am no great hand at making breakfast or any meal but do you want me to try?" I ask and he nods. I go downstairs and break a dozen eggs into a pan. The smell of breakfast bring my brother and Leah.

"That looks good, can we join you?"

"Sure all I really need is a snack anyway." I reply I enjoyed patrolling with them last night. "It will be done in a minute. I hope you don't mind them runny or hard I never know how they will turn out."

"Hope gave me some of her bread." Leah said smiling and took out a big loaf.

"Oh good that means we might have something close to an actual meal." I reply and slicing the bread put it into the gigantic old toaster that sits on the counter top. It could eat most toasters alive and have room for seconds. The toast pops up just as I decide that the eggs are ready and Seth comes down wearing only boxers.

"Seth." Leah cries.

"What? Brian is a guy and he knows how comfortable these are. You are my sister and this is my imprint anyway its not as if I am hard to look at." Which makes me laugh and gently put my fingers into his chest hair.

"Not bad at all." I reply and my breath becomes heavy just with him close to me. I smile at him and he grins back a terrible smell brings me back to reality. "The eggs." I cry and rescue them they are defiantly hard cooked and the light brown has been turned to darker. I put them on the toast and we all eat together. A knock at the door comes and I answer as I am the most dressed of all of us.

"Sam wants us." Quill says standing outside.

"Alright tell him we will be a few minutes." I instruct and close the door behind me. "Sam wants us." I say to them and they bolt down our poorly made breakfast and run off changing clothes. They come back out a moment later and Seth has forgotten to brush his hair. I gently right it with my fingertips and then the four of us run together. It feels like flying. I laugh and hear Seth laugh as well it is so much fun. We have to reach Sam's eventually though and so we do.

Hope stands her child in her arms at the door greeting us. "Hi this call wasn't for you, considering that you had night patrol, but Quill thought he might take a chance and see if you are up."

"You came at the right time, an hour earlier and you might well have only received snores for your welcome." I say and everyone laughs.

"What a welcome that would be too, considering how loudly Seth snores." Leah geodes. "I don't know how Brianna can stand it."

"And how can Brian stand your sleep talking I cannot guess." Seth replies it makes me laugh this silly sibling rivalry.

"I think my imprint is the sillest." I tell my brother.

"I would not be sure of that." My brother says. "Mine can be quite silly as well."

"Want to bet?"

"Yes I do want to bet." He replies.

"First one to stand on their head the longest wins." I say and he laughs together the two of us stand on our heads.

"Maybe we should have left them to their own devices, I should have warned you of this but I forgot. If they don't have proper sleep they get like this sometimes."My sister.

"Silly sister sits upon a sofa, does silly sister sing while she sits?" I say which makes my brother laugh his shoulders shake and he tries to catch himself but topples over turning it into a roll I jump to my feet. "Ha take that brother."

"Whatever." He replies he has never been into knights and damsels as I have. Seth however smiles his eyes gleaming and I point one finger at him and solute. he does the same in reply and soon we are lunging and retreating the rest of the pack holding their sides in laughter. I gain a touch but then Seth grabs me and tickles me. I laugh so hard it hurts and finally manage to gasp.

"No fair." I continue to laugh for a moment. "You absolute beast." I escape his hold and start to tickle him in return. Together we sink to the floor giggling madly. We come up a few minutes or years later still laughing but my sides are starting to hurt from such merriment. I sit in a chair and start to comb my fingers Seth comes up besides me and proffers a pocket comb.

"I carry it on me for use after patrol." He says and I comb my hair as he stares at me. It once unnerved me to be looked at like that but now I enjoy it and sneak glances of my own between brush strokes. It is like a game to us and we laugh together after I finish brushing.

"You have gotten sillier if possible sister." Bianca says to me.

"Impossible." Breena replies standing next to Paul. "Our Brianna more silly perish the thought." Everyone laughs at that, for who better to know someone than a twin?

"Just as impossible as you not tripping over the chair on your way down to breakfast. Zombie want food." I groan and half close my eyes and stumble on my feet.

"That's her in the mornings precisely." Brian said. "Not properly right until she has ten cups of coffee running through her system." Which makes me laugh. My sister starts to tremble. I want her to change I realize I want to geode her into change.

"Food." I groan again and everyone laughs they don't seem to notice how close she is to transforming and that clenches it. Within an instant a red wolf is in the room with us prepared to spring. Stop. I order in my mind and transform quickly taking off my clothing and shoes first.

It has happened, it has happened. This is so thrilling I am not an outsider any more.

Indeed you are not sister. You are part of the pack and we howl together laughing. It feels so good to have her with me in all things again.

It feels good for me as well, it was so odd for me. I thought I was too timid but I suppose all it took was some time.

You are a wolf unlike me sister. Loyal beautiful and trustworthy in a pinch.

Thank you.

It is the truth. I shove with my mind and Sam says as though we are under water.

"Get some clothes for the girls. Please let them barrow yours Emily just until they can get their own." Emily nods and goes into the room.

What was that?

I can order the pack around if I want but I do not often wish to do so.

Really, make Quill fall asleep on top of Jacob.

That is a great idea. However it had better be our brother. At once our brother topples to the side snoring loudly on top of Paul. Paul looks dismayed at Brian. I share his thoughts with my sister. Get him off get him off get him off. What did I do to deserve this he is drooling on my shirt.

"I suppose that Brian is not yet used to the figures of patrolling." Sam says and everyone laughs good natured. I go into the bathroom with my sister and we both change back to our human form.

"Prepare yourself, everything will change the moment you see him as a werewolf. Its incredible." I smile at my sister and take her hand gently. "You will be so happy." She smiles at me I am only two minutes older but she has always looked up to me.

"I am ready." She says and swallows hard. "I like Embry anyway, he seems so like me like we are a pair of gloves alone they are fine but when you put them together then they shine." I smile at her and gently make a order for the pack to sleep quietly. "They will be sleeping so you need not worry about others staring at you." Together we step into the living room. Bodies are all around us arms and limbs splayed out and chests slowly rising and falling.

"They all just fell asleep for some reason." Emily says. "They must be tired from vampire tracking." She smiles and puts Sam's head in her lap gently stroking his hair. I smile and see Embry in a corner no wonder we could not see him before because he was right behind the door. I gently cover my sister's eyes and take her to him. I point her face to his and remove my homemade blindfold. She gasps and gently touches his cheek. She sits with his head in his lap simply gazing at him love in her eyes. I leave them and go to Seth. It is so odd not to hear his snores. I smile and finding the brush gently brush his hair with his own comb until it gleams. I gently order him to transform and he does so in a sleep walking state. I smile at his beautiful brown pelt. I stroke it gently and then start brushing. I brush until his coat gleams before making him change back to human form and change back into his clothes. I then simply stroke his hair enjoying playing with it. The corner of his mouth twitches and I smile. There is an knock at the door.

I gently stand and go to answer it. I see Clair and her little brother and her mother. "I know it is short notice but would you mind?" She asks me and I grin at the two children. "Not at all, however we had a party quite late last night so a lot of us are sleeping." I try something and indeed I feel something fuzzy at the corner of my mind. It is Clair's mother's mind.

My girl well she is happy with Quill. She smiles down at her children.

I get to see Quill today maybe we can play dress up. Clair's mind is so cheerful and beautiful.

"I will take them inside. Does your little boy need to N-A-P."

"That spells nap I know that."

"No, no, no, no." Her little brother says stomping. I can tell that he is tired. I gently scoop him up.

"Come inside." I say and Clair takes in her little case and giggles when she sees the pack.

"Must have been some party." Clair's mother said, not entering.

"It was." I reply picking my way through the out laid body parts and limbs. I go to the rocking chair and give the little boy a suggestion of sleep. He snuggles into me as I rock him gently back and forth. Eventually he sleeps and I smile as I see Clair climbing over the pack to her must seem like small breathing mountains. She finds Quill and smiles and sits on top of him.

"Quill." She whispers and stokes his face. His lips twitch and she giggles. She pushes back the lips and plays with them. His face screws up in different expressions each time and she laughs happily. I let my order go and he snores softly. She laughs and says again. "Quill bill." Quill bill and Clair Bear how ridiculous we are are. But who isn't in love. She opens his mouth and he snores even more loudly.

"Clair." He mumbles and she giggles once more. I look into his dreams and I see Clair grown up and by his side. They had children of their own and he is so happy. I hope that he will enjoy the years that he has before those and I am sure that he will.

I gently stand up and put down the child into the chair. His head touches his chest and he looks so cute like that. I go over to Seth and gently stroke his hair a smile plays on his lips. I go into his dreams, I find him with two children on his knee, he is bouncing them gently up and down. "Daddy." A little boy calls. I break the connection and find that I want to have a family too. I feel the lives of the people on the reservation and find Kim she is reading a book called twilight for some reason. "Oh this is good. I will have to get Jared to read it. Vampires honestly some people are so silly. I only bought it because it was about forks You know I want to see Jared he is so fun to be with." I close the connection and laugh. I let the order for quiet dissipate and the snores are deafening.

"Well they are certainly loud." Emily says and we laugh. A knock at the door and I answer it.

"Hello." I say I haven't met Kim yet outside of Jared's thoughts. "My name is Brianna."

"Kim." Kim replies.

"Oh your Kim, Jared has told me all about you. I am Jacob's cousin." I tell her and she smiles at me.

I wonder if she knows, she must know." Kim thought.

"Pack patrolled last night, I am a newbie and so I got out of it." I tell her. "My twin did too, her name is Breena."

"Nice names matching black nicely." She says.

"Yes, I imprinted on Seth." I explain. "My sister on Embry and my brother on Leah."

"That would make sense they are all so close, together all the time." Kim says and laughs.

"Come in." I tell her. I relinquish the order completely as Kim sits with Embry's head in her lap and I am gently stroking my hair once more. His eyes flutter but he is still asleep. He wakes slowly and then his eyes flutter open and he smiles at me. I grin back and he gently stokes my long hair. You made me sleep didn't you? How mischievous but then again you are a naughty girl.

Yes I did, I wanted my sister to see her imprint for the first time without everyone staring at her. I then speak. "Have a good sleep?"

"Yes." He replies and stretches his arms wrapping them around me as he sits up. We are embracing and I smile at him.

"Love you." I say and he grins.

"Love you too." I reply and we hug each other lightly. I feel something move inside me and pull away. I need to concentrate although Seth's hurt look makes me want to go back to hugging him. I felt a mummer a second ago. I twelve deep into myself and I can see four little lives stirring within my room. I feel so happy and it takes a minute to realize that I am laughing and crying at the same time. "Seth we are having Quadruplets." I tell him and he stares at me.

"What?" He asks.

"Four babies we are going to have four babies." I reply and a mirrored smile plays across his face.

"Are you sure?" He asks me.

"Yes, I wonder how long it is before I will have them." I say. "Wolf or human pregnancy?"

"Two months compared to nine." He says. "I am not sure, Hope was pregnant for nine months but I don't think they er did it in wolf form."

"Maybe if I stay in wolf form?" I ask and he smiles.

"Maybe although I would like to marry you first."

"You are asking to marry me?" I ask.

"Well, yes. Will you be my wife, I am sure you can get your mother's permission." Seth says in a rush.

"Of course I will marry you." I reply and kiss him. "I am going to be large before the end of this." Seth laughs and hands me something.

"It isn't much I made it for you, the first day I saw you." I smile and take the wooden ring, it is beautiful with four little roses and two swords crossed spiraling in either direction in the middle between the two pummels is a wolf's head. I am speechless this is better than some lifeless rock and later I can get it bronzed.

"It's wonderful." I say and hug him we both laugh and cry hugging each other. Everyone is up by now and they are all staring at us as we laugh and weep. "He just asked me to marry him." I sob so happy.

"And she said yes." He say and our clothing is getting soaked but neither of us care. The pack is dumbfounded.

"Married?" My brother asks.

"Yes." I reply and put the ring on my finger.

"Congratulations." Sam says.

"Thanks." I reply.

"We will have the service on the reservation." Sam beams at both of us.

"First I have to get permission from my mother but I am sure that she will agree." I reply. "Especially since I am pregnant,' My brother and the pack stare at me as if I have grown four heads. "Four babies isn't it wonderful."

"Four?" My brother demands.

"Yes." I reply.

"Then our Seth must be potent." Quill slaps Seth on the back which makes me laugh. He was incredulous and I laugh even harder.

"Quill?" Clair asks tugging at his sleeve.

"Yes, Clair Bear." He replies and scoops her up, she shrieks with delight. He spins her around in a circle.

"No patrol duty for you." Sam says suddenly loosing his slack jaw.

"I am so happy for you and Seth." Kim gushes and I grin at her.

"Kimmykins." Jared says and spins her around in a circle. She laughs with delight and I find that I am laughing too.

"Kimmykins?" I ask and Jared blushes.

"Its just a nickname." He says.

"What do you call Jared?" I ask her.

"Jerryberry." She replies blushing. I try not to laugh but loose the fight. Jared growls at me and I growl back.

"A pregnant woman now that would be some fight." I say and at once he stops trembling.

"Sorry." He says.

"Its alright its natural for us to be a temper mental lot." I reply and slug his shoulder good natured. He slugs back at one fourth his real strength. "I may be pregnant but I am not made of glass." This makes the whole pack laugh and then my stomach is being pounded by tiny fists or paws. I stand next to Seth and place his hand on my stomach. He feels it with wonder. "Would you like to feel the babies?" I ask Clair.

"Can I." I nod and she gently places a hand on my stomach.

"If I didn't know better I would say that you are four months along." Hope says and I grin.

"It's only been a day. Which means that we have better have this wedding quickly. I wonder why its happening so quickly."

"I suppose because you are both werewolves and you mated in werewolf form." Sam says.

"Someone should write a book for us Werewolves 101." I say and everyone laughs.

"Now that would be handy." Jacob says. The babies kick again and I double over. Seth looks worried and I smile at him weakly.

"I think that we should get married soon." I say and the children kick again. Sleep I tell them and they are quiet once more.

"Today." He replies and I grin at him.

"Today." I agree. He takes my hand.

"Could we barrow someones car." Seth asks.

"Of course." My sister says and tosses me the keys. "Be careful, with the babies." I laugh at her she coos and cuddles car parts stroking them like infants.

"I will be." I reply. Together we go to the car and drive to my mother's work place.

"Mother?" I ask as I enter the club.

"Hello beauty." A drunk man says.

"She is with me." Seth says in a tone that contains no argument. We find my mother busting a table.

"Hello Mom." I tell her and she smiles at me.

"Hello." She replies smiling.

"I want to get married to Seth, will you allow it?" I ask. She agrees at once and signs a piece of paper writing out something on it.

"I knew one of you would ask soon." She tells me.

"In a few days you will be a grandmother." I tell her and she looks at my swollen stomach.

"It was this way with Billy. Mother was not showing at all one day, the second she looked like you and on the third I had a baby brother." She tells me. "Congratulations. I wish that I could see your wedding."

I go outside holding Seth's hand and grinning we go back to Sam's house which has become unrecognizable. I open the note. I hereby give permission for my children to wed. It is not only my name but my brother's and sisters as well.

"She is letting us all marry if we want." I tell Seth.

"We could ask your siblings if they want to or wait a while. Kim is not married to Jared despite that they have been together for seven years." We go into the back yard and see the whole pack in wolf form. I smile. I strip to my underwear and also change. Kim is wearing a pretty dress and so is Clair. Billy stands by the pack.

"We have come to celebrate the union between two souls. They are two of the same two halves that make a whole. In this place today here and now I pronounce you man and wife if you agree. We howl together and I speak in the pack's minds. I vow to be yours for all time through the good and the bad, through rain and wind and all types of weather. Together we will be for all of time two halves of the same whole two people joined into one perfect one. You complete me and make me whole in ways I can't begin to understand you are incredible and amazing and beautiful. I will love you for all of time. He stares at me smiling that curious smile of his.

You are my darkness and you are my light. You are all the beauty in the world, when you sing my heart dances and when you laugh I feel warm all over. You are my beauty and my love I will love you for all of time. My wife.

I grin at him and he grins back.

"You may kiss the bride." Billy says and he licks my fur as I lick his not passionate but a perfect wedding for what we are. I smile at everyone. Thank you.

Kim gathers together our clothes taking away the ripped underthings. I grin at her and nod. She smiles back at me. I am ready to marry him, but I don't know how to tell him. I was a girl when he last asked, perhaps it is rejection again that he fears. She puts the clothing behind a curtain and together we go and change our forms.

Music starts and we smile together coming out to find that the rest of the pack has also changed. I dance with My Seth enjoying every minute of it. By the time we finish dancing it is late at night. We smile and walk home together.

"Well." He says and picks me up carrying me across the threshold of his mother's house. He carries me up stairs and I change into my night clothes together we get into bed and I sleep.
