Epilogue – Love Imprinting

July 27th

Mica POV

"Leah, what's going on now?"

god Mica! The same thing that was going on about two seconds!" Leah erupted in an exasperated tone at my question. I glared at her, and she loosened a little, sighing.

"She's still pushing, baby. It's almost done," she assured. I glanced anxiously at the door leading to Gwen's hospital room, but Leah put a hand on my shoulder, shaking her head.

"It's fine. My mom and Seth are handling it," she whispered. I slumped back, still worried. Gwilla had been nervous as hell to go into labor, and once she'd started she wanted to get on pain meds, but it was already too far into the process to get any.

Jaja, Fone, Breno, Rissa, Daggar, and Laylal were all sitting on the opposite side of the waiting room, all of them having come to support Gwen in her birth process. Daggar's partner what's-his-him was with them as well.

It pissed me off to no end that Gwen's mother had 'not been able to make it' to the birth! And no, she had not said that this morning when Gwen had begun to have little baby we're-not-gonna-tell-you-what-gender-the-fucking-baby-is-Mica-give-it-a-rest! No, she had said that about a week ago. Her excuse was that she couldn't get a fucking break from her work. As far as I knew, she didn't even have a job!

Leah interrupted my thoughts with a little gasp her head snapping to the direction Gwilla's room was in. I grasped her hand, eyes wide. "What, what is it?" I murmured.

"I heard the doctor shouting… it's a… a girl!" she grinned widely, beaming with all her might. I gasped too, and then smiled even bigger than she was.

"Ohmygod!" I screeched, attracting a few stares. "I'm gonna have a little goddaughter!" I gushed. Leah giggled.

"Me too," she added, kissing my nose. Seth and Gwen had already told me and Leah we'd be the baby's godmama's (Daggar and Olaf its godpapa's).

We were both immensely glad that the baby was being born today, seeing as Leah and I were both leaving for California tomorrow. We had bought an apartment, and turns out Leah had had some help from her vamp friends: they got her into Cal Tech last minute. Not that she couldn't have got into it her fucking self, but she wouldn't have been able to get in that late.

The past couple of months had been a whirlwind. Gwen had moved into Leah's basement, the boys and Rissa had moved out of their old house for a smaller, cheaper one, and my mother remarried to this loser named Bobby-Greg.

My dad was also flirting around with my fucking English teacher, so I was pretty effing happy that I didn't have to be around to see that muck-fest. Like

very effing happy.

Leah's grip suddenly tightened on my hand. I looked up at her far-away face as she listened to what was going on in the hospital room, thanks to kickass wolf powers I so fucking wish I had.

"Caroline. The baby's name is Caroline Harriett Clearwater," Leah murmured. My mouth fell open in incredulity when I heard the child's middle name.

"Her middle name is Harriett?" I questioned. Leah smirked, but nodded.

"I think after my dad, but maybe they should have waited until they had a son to name him Harry or Harrison or something…" she trailed off a little. I giggled.

"I fucking love you, ya know that?" she considered for a moment before shrugging. I swatted her arm with a roll of my eye, fake glaring at her.

"I'm serious Lee. I love you. You're such a badass."

"And you love me because I'm a badass? That's it?" she feigned hurt. I scoffed at her before pressing my lips gently to her's.

"Oh, Lee. It's so much more than that… so much more."

Wow, that's another story done, and it took a little more than a year. I'm kind of in shock. I know this was ultra short, but I like it. I always make my epilogues short (with one exception). I also know that it didn't have a Gwilla/Seth portion, but I like where I ended with them, just those two together, the way it was from the beginning. I did want to give you an idea of what their baby was, though, so I chose this setting!

I really hope everyone enjoyed reading it, and I also hope that everyone will get a chance to review! Especially thanks to: The Orange Strawberry, my current beta; Swimming cutie xoxo, my older beta and good friend; laurazuleta18, another good friend who reviewed EVERY chapter! Love all of ya!

I'm kind of sad to end it, yet, it's also an enormous relief. I just have one story left to finish, which I am hoping will be done by October. You may not hear from me for a bit after that, I decided I would take a teeny break from posting and work on getting into stories more, seeing what I like, what I'm gonna plan. It makes writing so much easier. So yeah, probably not gonna post another story till December at the earliest, possibly November.

Peace Out, TwilightHeart21
