Chapter 19
Jacob
"Are you sure you'll be okay alone with the kids?" I asked as Renesmee pushed me towards the door. "I can prospone the meeting."
"Jacob, I'll be fine!" She laughed. "Seth's coming over to help! So go, have your meeting.!"
She finally got me to the front door and stood on her tippy toes to kiss me. I easily lifted her up and she wrapped her legs around my waist.
"I love you beautiful. I'm only a phone call away."
She smiled and kissed me again. "I love you too. Now go! Get out!"
I chuckled, setting her down on her feet. "I'm going! I'm going! Don't sound so upset to get rid of me." I said sarcastically.
"Aw, you know I'll miss you so much Jakey!" She giggled.
"Sure sure. Bye honey, I'll be back by dark. I promise." I added, just to reassure her.
She only grinned and stroked my cheek.
"I know you will. Because if not, you won't be getting dinner."
"Your a evil woman."
She giggled again. "I'm closing the door now Jacob."
I stole one more quick kiss and before the door slammed in my face. I laughed and walked over to my car, driving to La push tribal center.
When I got there, everyone was already seated and whispering to each other, waiting for the elders and Emily to arrive.
"Hey Jake over here!" Someone called. I looked to my left and was surprised to see it was Embry calling me over.
"Uh, Hey Em." I said taking a seat next to him. "Where's Quil?"
"Probably somewhere sucking the air out of Claire's lungs."
I chuckled. "You didn't bring Leah?"
"No she said she wanted to sit this one out." His eye's narrowed a bit. "Why?"
"I was just wondering. I-I just thought she'd want to be here since Emily's her cousin, and you know support the pack, or maybe just confirm-"
Embry's laughing cut off my nervous rambling.
"Dude, I'm only messing with you. I'm trying to be bright about this situation and move on. We're brothers right?"
I smiled. "Blood brothers."
He smiled back, "Good. Then stop acting like a pussy everytime I mention Leah."
I punched his arm, and we laughed, just like old times. Just then, the back door opened and Quil walked in, helping his Grandfather, Old Quil, my Dad and Sue coming in Right behind them. Then Emily walked in, her head down and sat next to Sue. Everyone immediately quieted down.
"Thank you all for coming, this meeting is very important for the tribes well being." Billy started. "We are here today to determine to punishment of Emily Uley, who betrayed her tribe. Jacob, since this attack was directed at you, what do you have to say?"
I stood up tall, my alpha demeanor rolling off me in waves and nodded to the elders.
"Hach tochoktiya (Good afternoon). My family was in great danger because of this Wisatsu'upat (Woman). Her mate passed six years ago, and I'm guessing in a act of desperation from being lonely for so long, she forced herself upon me. I, of course, being married to my own imprint did not entertain her advances, but the consequences of her actions, caused a chain reaction. My wife became insecure, putting a major bump in our marriage. And not only did it just effect me, but everyone around me."
"Wait a minute Jacob. Is all of the true so far Emily?" Sue asked, a look of disappointment on her face.
"Yes." She whispered.
Sue shook her head and motioned for me to continue.
"There are some personal things that were the result of her actions that I wouldn't feel comfortable getting into, but it nearly tore apart my pack. When Emily saw she wasn't getting her way, she started to get more...resourceful. She tricked me into thinking that she was honestly sorry, and I fell for it only to be burned again. At this point me and Renesmee were working on our relationship and she was 7 months pregnant. Emily, Imprint of Sam Uley, former alpha, actually called upon cold ones to kill my wife and children."
The elders, never hearing the whole story all gasped. Old Quil started chanting his disappointment In Quileute.
"She is a chitakido(Killer)." I growled.
"Emily do you have anything to say for yourself?" My Dad asked.
She finally looked up, tears streaming down her face. "Hitkwolli...(Im sorry).I don't know why I did the things I've done. I understand that I almost killed Renesmee and that is unacceptable. I guess...I was just jealous of your happiness."
Old Quil shook his head once again.
"Emily Young. You do not deserve the last name of a leader, for you have betrayed your family, your tribe. Such actions like yours would be execution, but that would be too easy and you have a son to take care of. So as of to day, you are banned from Quileute lands. You are to never set foot on these lands again. I will give you a week to pack all of your things and If we see you after then, execution will not be hesitated."
She nodded through her sobs and ran out the door. I couldn't help the feeling of deep satisfaction, as a smile formed on my face. Billy, Sue, and Old Quil turned to me with apologetic eyes.
"We are sorry for the troubles she has put you through. If we had known the whole story, we would've had her removed a long time ago, young Shipa (Black)."Old Quil said.
"Hachli ho(Its all okay). I would just like to get home to my wife, if you guys don't mind of course?"
Dad smiled, " Say hello to my Grandchildren for me."
I smiled back, "Of course."
"You are all dismissed from this meeting." Sue announced and we all got up to leave.
"Wait, Embry! Jake!" Quil yelled, jogging over to us. "Before you go home, could you guys help me with something?"
...
I ended up getting home later than I wanted to, but It was worth it.
When I walked into the house, I saw Renesmee curled up on the couch, baby monitor in hand. I also noticed Seth sleeping in the other chair. I chuckled and listened for the twins. They must of just got settled down.
I walked over to Seth first and tapped him on the shoulder.
"Seth wake up."
He jumped up almost knocking me down, looking around delirious.
"What? Whats going on? Is Charisa okay?" He asked.
I stifled my laugh and patted his shoulder.
"She's fine. Upstairs sound asleep. Its almost 10 o`clock though, you might want to head home, or you could crash here tonight if you want?"
"Thanks Jake, I don't think I could make it home. I never knew how hard it was to take care of a baby!"
I smiled, "Yeah, but its worth it in the end. Guest bedroom is across the hall from ours, I gotta wake Renesmee up."
He nodded and headed up there. I walked over to the other couch and knelt at Renesmee's head. I pushed the hair that was falling in her face behind her ear and kissed her forehead.
"Renesmee, baby, wake up. I'm home."
She moaned and her eyes fluttered open.
"Jake?" She whispered.
"Hey sleeping beauty."
She frowned. "Your late."
"I know, I know. But me and Embry had to help Quil with something. It took forever. I'm sorry."
She looked at me for a minute, before wrapping her arms around my neck, kissing my cheek.
"Tired...Lets talk in the morning."
I chuckled and lifted her off the couch, carrying her to the bedroom, placing her on the bed. Then I turned to leave, when she grabbed my arm.
"Where do you think your going?" She asked.
"To get something to eat. I'm starving. I'll be right back."
She pulled on my arm again, shaking her head. "You thought I was kidding earlier? You get no dinner."
I groaned and laid next to her. "Please baby? You don't want to starve me do you?"
She kissed my neck. "You can have me for dinner."
Well that woke little Jakey up.
"Honey, as tempting as that is, your going to be the only one getting full of something you want, not me."
She threw her head back and laughed. That cute little one where she laughs too hard and snorts. She covered her mouth, looking at me horrified, causing me to laugh this time. In the next room over, The twins started crying and Renesmee got out of bed, still giggling.
"Go eat dinner Jake, I'll get the twins."
She bent down to pick up the baby moniter and I couldn't resist. I slapped her ass. She squealed and turned to me laughing again.
"What the hell Jake!"
I smiled and shrugged. "Your the one that bent over. To me thats a offering."
"Gosh you are such a perv sometimes."
I wiggled my eyebrows, "You love it though."
She rolled her eyes and walked out of the bedroom. I got up and walked downstairs with a huge smile on my face.
Quil
I sat on the beach, watching everyone at the bonfire, laugh, talk, and eat, while I waited impatiently for Claire to come. I organized this whole bonfire just for us and she was an hour late!
I know it may sound sappy, but today is our anniverary. Its was the day me and Claire first kissed, and believe it or not, that was actually really special to me.
I heard a car pull up and looked in the direction, seeing Claire, Jacob and Renesmee get out of the car. I got up and ran to her, lifting her up spinning her around, smiling when she squealed.
"Quil!"
I set her down and kissed her. "Happy anniversary baby."
She smiled and kissed my cheek. "Happy anniversary!"
I let her go then hugged Renesmee and patted Jake on the back.
"Thanks for helping me put this together on such short notice Jake. Especially right after that meeting yesterday."
He smiled. "No problem. You almost made me starve though. Renesmee wouldn't let me eat dinner."
She giggled and hugged him around the waist. I chuckled and grabbed Claires hand.
"Come on guys, lets eat!"
I pulled her down the beach towards the food, where everyone was and we ate, talked and joked around alittle, before I cleared my throat and stood up. Everyone fell quiet and looked at me.
"So, I just wanted to tell you guys the real reason I arranged this bonfire. Today was the day, me and the love of my life first kissed and admitted that we loved each other."
Paul coughed out 'Pussy' making the guys laugh.
"Haha Paul, laugh it up, but don't think we don't know about how whipped you are on Rachel. Wanna go buy her some more tampons in the middle of the night?"
The guys laughed again, and Paul growled.
"Okay, okay, all jokes aside. I really just wanted to say something to Claire before I shut up." I walked over and pulled her up, her cheeks flaming as the attention shifted to her. "Claire baby, I cannot believe how much you have changed and grown over the past year. You've been through hell and back, yet you are still able to stand here today with us, with your head held high, and a whole new outlook on life. I'm just glad we were able to take this journey together. I've fallen so deep in love with you Claire, and there's no going back from that, And I don't want to either. You have dealt with me and all my bullshit for this long, and I have no fucking clue why which is exactly why I love you." She giggled. "All I can do is hope that you'll deal with me for awhile longer. Say...Forever?"
I got down on one knee, reaching for the ring in my back pocket and heard her gasp.
"Quil..." She whispered.
"Claire Whitaker Young, will you make me the happiest man on earth and marry me?"
She stared at me, tears filling her gorgeous eyes and nodded her head vigoriously.
"YES! Oh god yes Quil! I'll marry you!"
I jumped up, slid the ring on her finger, and pressed my lips to her in a passionate kiss, faintly hearing everyone cheer behind us.
Claire pulling away smiling and crying, making me chuckle.
"You just propose to me! We're getting married!" She sobbed.
I wiped her cheeks and kissed her again, placing my forehead on hers.
"I know, I can't believe you said yes! I love you Claire. So fucking much."
"I love you too Quil."
I lifted her off her feet spinning us around as I kissed her again.
Something I would never get tired of.
