I do not own Twilight
"We're bringing fluffy back; those other penguins don't know how to act!" Claire and Nessie were shaking their butts singing.
"DO YOUR THANG MAKE YOUR BODYY SING!" Kim flew up and started dancing crazy.
I laughed as I took in the sight around me. Me, Emily, Leah, Claire, Nessie and Kim were dancing around the living room singing along to Happy Feet 2.
We were trying to copy the penguins tapping but we just looked like ass's. The boys were laughing at us.
The song ended and I collapsed backward onto the sofa giggling, Claire jumped on me.
"I like you're singing" She started jumping on me. Ouch.
I smiled at her and pushed her off me.
"You girls are crazy" Jacob was laughing at us still. We just shrugged at him.
"Uh HUMMMM I just want to say, the other day Embry lost a bet with Quil and so he now has to wear a Christmas jumper all day, so I present Embry Call in a lovely fluffy jumper" Brady was laughing and pointed at the stairs.
Embry came down, in shorts and a bright red fluffy woollen jumper; it had a Christmas tree on it, with an actual bauble sticking off it and a Santa on the back. It was hilarious.
He flipped us all off as he sat down mumbling. I laughed and winked at him.
"Ohh shut it you" He flipped me off again and scowled. I just laughed harder.
It was Christmas Eve and we were doing our own Christmas at Emily's so everyone could see their families tomorrow.
Everyone was here except a few of the new younger wolves and Rachel was running late.
Paul had calmed down since the other day with Carter, I hadn't heard of Carter since. I didn't want to either. I hadn't seen much of Paul, he was on patrol constantly. He could smell Carter at my house still so he didn't like being there, it made him shake. And everyone knows I do not like it when he shakes, so he tried staying away. I could see him outside every night though, watching from the trees. My own little stalker boyfriend. But a good stalker boyfriend.
And the vampire hadn't made reappearance. This made me nervous but I tried to enjoy the holiday.
Leah and Liam were so cute, blushing at each other, and secretly holding hands, going for little walks. It was adorable. She seemed so happy, Sam on the other hand got annoyed whenever they were holding hands around him. I had no sympathy for him; he had no right to be angry at them.
Paul walked in carrying beers for the guys, Emily tutted at him and he shrugged at her.
"Your husband gave them to me, not my fault" He winked and passed them out before coming and sitting with me. I snuggled into him, watching the film. The guys carried on talking. I crinkled my nose as Paul's beer breath whisked over me, I hated that smell.
By the end of the film the girls were up dancing and singing to under pressure, Nessie and Claire were on the floor trying to be the big sea elephant things. The guys just shook their heads embarrassed at us. I was shaking butts with Emily, she was laughing hysterically, Leah didn't join in this time, she was too wrapped up in Liam.
Paul stood up and grabbed me, swinging me around.
"Stop embarrassing me missy" He planted kisses all over my face and laughed.
"NEVER!" I grabbed his arms and started swinging them around trying to make him dance. He just stood staring at me, he looked happy. He loved me; just a simple look from him would tell me that.
Sam walked in, he smiled at Emily but his eyes flickered to Leah who was sat on Liam's lap. Liam sure moved fast with this one, it took weeks for Paul to do anything with me and Liam here was already all loved up.
I smiled but Sam started to shake a little and walked back to the kitchen. What an ass. I looked at Paul and he rolled his eyes before kissing my cheek and walking out after Sam.
I decided to follow. They weren't in the kitchen, they were outside.
"Doesn't mean I have to like it, I never wanted to hurt Leah you know that" Sam was yelling at Paul.
"Just leave it, she's happy Sam, you knew this would happen one day. Liam's a nice guy. You have Emily" Paul pushed Sam a little and Sam growled at him.
"Oi no growling mr, Paul's right. You have Emily, Leah can't pine over you forever" I marched down to him and he turned to me.
"Yes I know that. But it still hurts"
"Now you know how I felt Sam. Jesus Christ, just leave me to get on with my life. I'm sick of everything being brought back to you in my life, I am happy. Now stop making it about you. You broke my heart and now you think you have the right to be pissed off when I finally get the chance to move on. You really can be an asshole sometimes, high and mighty Sam Uley, can be happy himself but god forbid the girl he broke ever got happy with someone else. You're married for Christ sake, build a god damn bridge and get the fuck over it"
I turned around and Leah was stood by the back door. She was glaring at Sam. She barely spoke to him most days, but here she was giving him a piece of her mind. I felt like jumping up and down and screaming go girl. I didn't, obviously, I contained my excitement.
"I know, but I never wanted to hurt you Leah. I still care about you, it's not easy" He sounded so hurt.
Paul's arm wrapped around my shoulder and he pulled me toward the house. I smiled at Leah as I walked past her. She smiled back and walked down toward Sam.
I shut the door and sat on Paul's lap in the kitchen.
"Are they arguing?" I looked up at Paul.
"No just talking about stuff, it must hurt I suppose, they loved each other, and now they have to move on"
"But he had Emily, does he want Emily or is it forced?" This still bugged me, where they forced to be with us?
"No of course he isn't forced with Emily, none of us are, you are the most important thing in my life. The same with Sam, but a part of him still loved Leah, she was his best friend and girlfriend for years before Emily, he hurt her, he hated that. And now he's struggling to get over it. He loves Emily"
I nodded and smiled at Paul. He smiled at me and moved me a little, reaching into his pocket.
"I want to give you one of your presents"
He pulled out a car key and sat me on the chair while he ran out of the room. He came back a minute later, holding a flat square box.
He handed it to me and sat opposite me. What is this?
I unwrapped the bow and lifted the lid off. I gasped it was amazing.
A picture frame, it was wooden, a little wolf carved into the bottom of it, a girl reaching out touching the wolf's head. Then I focused on the picture.
The picture he took outside my house the other day, he was looking down at me smiling, I was laughing as he tickled my stomach. We looked so happy and playful. I smiled, tears stung my eyes and one fell onto the glass of the picture.
I looked up at Paul.
"Did you make this?"
He nodded.
"You like it?" He sounded hopeful.
I nodded back at him and stood up, crawling onto his lap and kissing him roughly. I could feel him smiling underneath my lips.
"I love you"
"I love you too your my wolf" I giggled and he hugged me tighter. It was the perfect present.
The back door opened and Sam walked in, his eyes red and puffy, Leah followed hers was the same.
"Everything ok?" I asked her, she smiled at me.
"Perfect" She beamed at me and walked to the other room. Sam had his back turned, chopping potatoes.
"Come on" Paul nudged me and we left the room.
Walking back into the living room I saw paper all over the floor, Claire had attacked her presents from Quil and was skipping around holding a new wolf teddy, hers was ruined in the rain that night of the "incident".
I smiled and Emily handed me my stocking from everyone, everyone chipped in with the stockings, so basically the stockings were full of little presents of everyone.
Sam walked in now, and sat behind Emily, gripping her tightly. He smiled at me and I began opening the presents.
Some perfume, make up, a few new tops and an iphone case, it was cute, it had flowers all over it. I knew straight away what Embry had got me. A little rubber girl doll, it was one of those grow your own girlfriend things you put in water, but he had crossed out the girlfriend bit and put, grow yourself a few extra inches. I looked at it and laughed.
"What? I thought you could do with getting a bit taller" He shrugged and winked at me.
"Such an ass, I am not short, you're just abnormally huge" I pouted and he laughed again. What a pillock.
"Short ass" He winked again and took a bite of the giant gummy bear I had gotten him.
"You can't really comment on her Embry when your sat there looking like one of Santa's helpers now can you?" Paul, I looked up at him he was laughing at Embry. Embry just scowled at him and itched beneath his fluffy jumper. I giggled. Paul and Embry were still bickering as usual, but they weren't horrible to each other now. More playful bickering.
Everyone was laughing at Embry, he looked so cute. He took another bite of the gummy bear and scowled at everyone.
Claire started screeching over a new doll she got in her stocking and tried guessing who got it for her.
When everyone was done unwrapping, I noticed Paul, Jared and Sam staring at us girls, waiting for their presents. Paul looked so desperate, like a child. I giggled.
"Nope you have to wait a little bit longer sorry baby"
He pouted and Leah laughed from Liam's lap.
"Its worth it trust me" She winked at Paul and he frowned. He was so cute when he got confused.
There were presents and wrapping paper strewn all over the floor, Emily looked like she was struggling to keep herself where she was, I could tell she was itching to clean it up. I laughed as she turned slightly red.
Liam had handed a little package to Leah, she opened it, it was a bracelet; it had a wolf on it, like my promise bracelet, all the imprint girls had one. How had he? I looked at Paul and he smirked. Leah was squealing behind me but I focused on my boy. He was smirking still and leaned in to whisper to me.
"He knows"
"What?" I was shocked, he had known Leah for like 4 days if that, and he knew?
"Yeah I know, she moves fast. He was fine with it, seemed pretty cool" Paul shrugged.
"But he never told me he knew?" Liam told me everything.
"He found out this morning, before they got here. I gave him the bracelet for her, he had asked me yesterday what to get her so I made that last night after patrol"
I smiled at him, see he was sweet. All the boys said he was the angry, prick one of the group but he wasn't he was cute and sweet. I kissed him and smiled wider. I love this kid. I could defiantly keep him around.
"Hey, I have a present for Kim and Lottie" Liam stood up, he was holding a DVD. I frowned at him.
"What's that?" I asked a worried, knowing Liam it would be highly inappropriate.
He walked toward me; he flicked my forehead and smiled.
"Wait and see little cus" He smiled and walked to the TV. Bending down he swapped the Happy Feet DVD for his.
Kim walked to me and sat next to me, she looked at me and shrugged.
"Liam?" She sounded worried as well.
"It's nothing bad, and it's not from me, it's from your dad. He wrote me a letter before he died, told me where to find this" He smiled and pressed play.
Did I want to see this? No it would make me cry. I went to stand up but Paul pulled me back down.
"I don't want to watch this" I protested but Liam looked at me.
"It's not anything bad, it's cute" He smiled, everyone was silent watching the screen.
Me and Kim as babies popped up, we were in nappies rolling around on the floor together, giggling loudly.
I smiled, we were cute. Kim's hand gripped mine and Emily let out a "Awwww".
We were like 10 months old maybe, Kim giggled, then I giggled, then she giggled again, then I giggled again. Then our mom popped in the screen, she blew raspberries on our stomachs and we laughed all over again.
My dad's voice echoed from behind the camera.
"Aww my little princess's, say hi to the camera girls"
We looked up at him and smiled, clapping our hands and kicking our legs out.
The screen changed, it was my dad. He was sat in our mom's house in La Push. He was smiling.
I felt my throat clench as tears sprung up. Kim's grip on my hand got tighter.
"Hey babies, if you're watching this, I guess I went up to the big guy in the sky. I asked Liam to give this to you, the first Christmas after I went. I hope he did, little shit be getting a kicking if he didn't."
I laughed; dad always called Liam a little shit. Paul clutched my waist tighter now.
"Anyway, don't be sad girls, I knew what I was doing, I didn't want you to see me suffer for years. It wouldn't be fair to you. I made a mix of my favourite videos of you as children. Some of your old friends from La Push are in there too, made me laugh. My life has been so happy because of you two. Never forget how much I loved you, and I'll be watching over you from up here. And Liam if you're watching this, you shit, you watch my girls. Especially Kim, she's my little girl who needs extra loves and care. Lottie will be fine, she's a feisty little thing, I once saw her punch a teenage boy square in the face, she's a fighter alright. I love you girls and Liam I suppose"
He laughed and winked at the camera. I smiled. Liam looked like he was going to cry.
"Punched a guy?" Embry looked over at me, he was smiling.
"Carter, one night after we had a fight, I was outside my house, I didn't realise at the time that dad was watching" I laughed and the boys joined in. Even Paul. That's what I had seen when I was in the hospital. When dad was talking to me.
The screen changed, it was me and Kim, in Ballet outfits, we were 5 maybe. We were dancing around the kitchen to music, trying to be ballerina's. A boy came running in, Seth, he started dancing with me and I pushed him off me, he smacked his head and started crying and went running to Sue who was sat watching us from the table. I laughed and called him a baby while Kim scolded me for being mean to Sethy.
The boys all laughed and ribbed Seth who blushed.
The screen changed again.
Oh god, I was 15, on the beach in Cali. I was with Kay, and my dad was filming us. We were in bikini tops and shorts, dad was singing some upbeat dance song while we strutted around like models, and dad was laughing at us. Kim ran in to the shot now, she started booty shaking on me. Dad laughed harder at us.
I blushed, how embarrassing.
"Nice moves short stuff" Embry teased from the corner of the room, Kim and I shot him a glare and he shut up.
The screen changed again. I was 16, sat in our Cali house, playing piano and singing. Hallelujah by Jeff Buckley.
I smiled, I liked this song.
The clip changed, Kim playing guitar, in her room, she was 12. I sat next to her watching her, she was playing and I was singing, the same song as before. Dad loved this song.
The clip changed again. I noticed a little Embry, Jake and Quil. They all cheered as they saw themselves.
I was running after Jake, he was screaming and running away from me. Kim was sat playing with a girl, I didn't recognise her.
Jake was crying now, I carried on chasing him. We were like 8. Embry ran over to me and tackled me to the ground. I coughed and hit him on the head, Quil came over now and sat on top of Embry. I was turning blue. Then Jake came over, he jumped on too. I was a weird blue/red colour.
The camera dropped and I saw my dad's feet running over, he pulled the boys off me and sat me up, I started coughing and spluttering. They all laughed before running off.
"You almost killed me" I looked around at the 3 grown boys, they smiled and shrugged. Embry was still in the fluffy jumper, he looked hilarious.
I went turned back to the screen.
I was sat with my dad, Kim was running around the park, I recognised Jared, she was following him. He was getting annoyed and telling her to go away. Paul was there. I smiled at little Paul he was cute.
"Why does Kimmy follow that boy?" My sweet little voice echoed from the screen, my dad looked down at me, mom must be filming.
"Because she likes him baby, do you like a boy?" Dad was smiling at me. We were what 7?
"I like Embry, he is my bestest friend, but I don't follow him around" Dad laughed at me.
"So you don't want him to be your boyfriend?"
I shook my little head and dad laughed again.
"What about that boy?" He pointed at Paul. I made a gagging noise and looked at dad again.
"That's Paul, he's a meany, he isn't nice to Kimmy. I don't like Paul. No no no, Paul will never be my boyfriend, I will stay best friends with Embry"
I laughed and looked at Paul, he looked a little sad. Everyone started laughing.
"I wasn't a meany! Take it back" He sounded so hurt.
"I'm sorry"
"Do you prefer Embry?" Paul teased at me, he started tickling me.
"No no no your my favourite!" I laughed and he let me go. Everyone was laughing now.
I looked back at the screen.
It was a cheerleading competition I had done back last year, I was good, dad was cheering me on.
It changed again to Kim, she was sat reading on the beach, I saw dad, creeping up behind her, he had a bucket, I remember this. I was filming. He turned the bucket upside down and loads of water and a fish fell onto Kim, she screamed and ran away. It was in Cali, she was screaming loudly and jumping around while dad was laughing hysterically on the floor.
I smiled, Kim was crying next to me. Jared was holding on to her.
The clip changed, Harry Clearwater was sat with Sue, my mom and Dad, the camera pointing at them all, they were drinking and laughing in the garden of Sue's house. A little boy ran past the camera, Liam, followed by Seth, then Kim, then Leah then me. Leah stopped and turned to me; she was smiling and whispered something to me. I nodded and we ran back the direction we came from. Liam ran past again, and Seth, but no Kim. Seth and Liam stopped, looking around for us. Then out of nowhere the 3 of us girls ran from behind the adults holding water guns spraying the boys, whoever was holding the camera laughed, Aunt Cheryl. The boys started crying and ran to the house. We girls started laughing and Leah looked at me and high fived me.
I looked up at her, she was smiling from Liam's lap, and he was scowling at me.
My dads face popped up on the screen again.
"I love you girls, never forget that. You gave me the best life I could have asked for. Kim, I'm glad you have Jared, he is a nice guy. Look after him and him the same with you. Lottie, little miss Lottie, always causing trouble, try not to. Paul seems nice, not the meany you told me he was ey, funny you said he would never be your boyfriend and now he is. Take care of each other, goodbye girls, I love you"
I wasn't crying, I was happy. I looked around at Paul, he clung me tighter.
The screen popped up with a new clip again.
Me and Kim, we were 13 maybe. We were singing into hair brushes, being all beyonce like, dad put the camera down on the table, pointing at us, he grabbed a hair dryer and started singing into it, then blew it on us so our hair was flying everywhere. He started tickling us and we were laughing hysterically.
The clip stopped.
I smiled and looked at Liam, he smiled back at me. Kim was crying obviously.
"Thanks Liam" That's all I could get out. He nodded.
"That was so cute!" Emily looked teary. All the boys started laughing about the clip where Embry and Quil tried killing me.
"Do you girls always sing and dance so much?" Quil was frowning, I just laughed. I guess we do act like idiots a lot.
Paul pulled me backward and kissed my head.
"You ok?"
I nodded; Sam got up and walked to the kitchen. It was dark out now. Late. We all sat around chatting about the video for a while. The clips, they were cute. I liked that dad had done that.
"FOOD!" Sam called out from the kitchen, Emily had pulled a strike and told Sam to cook today. No one was happy with this idea but at least she hadn't made Embry or Jake cook. They were awful, whereas Sam was reasonable.
The boys ran to the kitchen, the girls followed, but I stayed, I reached down and got the DVD out, there was a message on it.
Stay strong, love dad
I smiled. He was cute.
I stood up and something caught my eye out of the window. Carter was stood there. He motioned for me to come out. What was he doing here? He was supposed to be in California.
Something in me told me to go, I couldn't turn away. I looked back at the kitchen door; it flung open as Claire ran through to get her teddy. The boys were sat laughing and stuffing food down their necks.
I walked slowly to the front door and walked out to him, when I was close enough I spoke.
"What are you doing here?"
"I need to show you something" He sounded weird, like dead. But I followed him as he walked down the dirt track.
We cut across some trees and out to the main road, walking across it without looking. I heard a car screech and someone shout my name. But I ignored it; all I could do was follow Carter.
"What are we doing?" we were deep in the tree's now. I couldn't see anything; it was darkening amongst the shadow of the woods.
"You'll see" He sounded strange, I didn't like it.
We got to an opening. We weren't in La Push.
I looked around cautiously.
"Carter your scaring me, why are we here?" My voice shook.
"I said you'll see" He looked back at me, his eyes were blood red and he started laughing. But they changed back to normal. His face dropped and he stared at me blankly.
"I Love you, come home with me" His voice had no emotion though.
I started to stumble backward. I don't understand what's happening.
"No, go away"
The leaves of a nearby tree rustled, I jumped and turned to face it.
The vampire walked out, he was grinning.
"Nice to see you again" He eyed up Carter and walked for him.
"No Carter!" I ran forward, my hand outstretched to grab Carter's but as I closed around his wrist he disappeared into smoke.
I jumped back and fell to the floor.
"What what the hell?" My voice shook again. The Vampire laughed. Walking closer to me.
"Oh sweet girl, didn't that Cullen tell you. I can make you see things, make things seem real to you, like I did with your daddy in your room. Then the other day I saw you arguing with that boy, so I got the brilliant idea of making him go get you for me, only it wasn't him, just a hallucination. Your wolves are far too easily distracted my girl" His voice was menacing, shivers ran through me and I scrambled backward away from him.
He laughed again. His red eyes staring down at me, I squirmed a little. His stare was so sharp it hurt.
"You can't go anywhere now, your mine"
He lowered himself down, grabbing my arm. I winced in pain. He just laughed as he pulled me from the ground with so much force I felt my arm pull from my socket.
Thank you again for reviews and PM's :D damned wolves and there food! Too distracted by food hehehe, the video from her dad has no real meaning, I just thought it would be cute to put in :D keep reviewing xxx
