Epilogue: The Best Promises
"What the hell guys?" I yelled as I opened to the front door.
"If you would stop slamming the door in our faces then there would be no problem," Jacob said with a smile. "Where are the kids?"
"Where's Jared?" I asked for the fifth time. We, as in Jacob, Quil, and Embry, and I, have been going through the same process for the past 10 minutes: I open the door, they say something stupid that makes me mad, I tell them to leave me alone, they ask about Logan, Eva, and Zoey, I ask where Jared is, they ignore me, and finally I slam the door in their faces.
"Answer the question Kim," Quil said rather harshly.
"FINE! They're with my mom. Are you happy now?" I yelled throwing my hands in the air.
"Yes, now get in the car," Embry said. I just looked at him. He shrugged his shoulders. "You leave me no choice then," he said walking toward me and throwing me over his shoulder.
"Embry, put me down!" I screamed as I started pounding my fists into his back.
"Seriously, you need to stop because Jared will leave me unable to reproduce if you hurt yourself," he shuddered slightly. I just sighed; there was really no chance I would be able free myself now anyways. He put me in the back of the car, where I was surprised to find Paul sitting in the driver side. Embry sat next to me, and I groaned as Quil slid in on the other side.
"Guys, you are going to kill me. I can't stand all this hotness surrounding me," I said.
I heard giggling like grade school girls all around me. "Oh my god, grow up. But for real, what's going on? I have things I need to get done. Like looking for a house, and a job," I said trying to figure out why werewolves always choose to kidnap me at the worst times.
I decided when I graduated that I would find a small house around La Push, because honestly living with five in a two bedroom house was rather uncomfortable. I needed to find more space, because my Dad's kids were now my responsibility.
"Remember the last time Paul and I escorted you around, and Paul had patrol hangover?" Embry asked suddenly. "Well, I found Jared and yours theme song."
"What does that have to do with singing the Spice Girls?" I asked becoming confused.
"Well, because the last time was singing and this time there will be singing," he said as if it was obvious. "Paul, crank up the stereo."
I listen slightly interested in what song they pick. My eyes widened as it started and I couldn't help but laugh.
Ha-ha! Well now we call this the act of mating
But there are several other very important differences
Between human beings and animals that you should know about
All four werewolves busted out laughing when the first verse came on. And well I was in shock by how risky the lyrics were.
Embry leaned over me. "The chorus is the best part," he said, which led me to believe the chorus was coming up. I looked around and saw everyone in the car was laughing hysterically, probably thinking about the words they were listening to.
And then the chorus came on, and my jaw dropped.
Do it now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Do it again now
You and me baby ain't nothin' but mammals
So let's do it like they do on the Discovery Channel
Gettin' horny now
Oh. My. God. I couldn't help myself, I laughed, and I laughed hard. Everyone in the car looked at me, looking slightly confused that I found it funny, but Jacob's face broke out into a wide grin, and soon everyone followed suit.
By the time the second verse came on, the boys were all singing alone. Occasionally, one would look over at me wiggle their eyes brow, which made me laugh harder.
Paul was parking as the song finished. I looked out the window, and noticed we were in front of a heavily forested area. He turned around and looked at me with a serious expression.
"Don't be a bitch when you see Jared. He's been freaking out for the past week," he said simply. I just raised an eye brow at him, not knowing what to say. Thankfully I was saved when Embry got out of the car and grabbed my arm.
I looked up and saw Jared pacing in a small clearing ahead. I stepped on a twig and his head snapped over to me. He made eye contact and once he did, I saw a small smile forming on the corners of his mouth.
"Well, peace out," Embry said quietly.
Jared quickly walked up to me and gently kissed me. I smiled into it, and pulled away.
"What's going on?" I asked.
"A surprise, but first I'm taking you on a picnic. Because for once it's not raining in La Push," he said grabbing my hand.
"Jared, I'm not graceful like you," I said after I tripped for about the tenth time in less than 5 steps. He laughed, so I let go of his hand. He turned to look at me, but I just smiled.
"Turn around," I commanded. He did, and I hurried to jump on his back.
"You could have just asked," he stated laughing slightly. I ignored him, so he just kept walking.
After a few minutes, he stopped at the edge of the trees, and I looked over his shoulder and noticed we were at the beach. I looked around and saw a blanket spread out with a picnic basket laid out.
"You are such a hopeless romantic," I said laughing slightly. He gently put me on the blanket and started to rid the basket of its contents.
"So I had this extravagant lunch planned, but the guys found it before I could put it in the basket and well all that was left was peanut butter and jelly," he said looking glum.
"No, this is perfect. I like simplicity," I said squeezing his hand. He proceeded to feed me my sandwich and I in return, did the same for him. After we ate, he pulled me into his lap and we watched the waves crashing. I smiled as I thought at how lucky I got.
"Kim, I got you something," he said after we had been staring at the waves for awhile. He helped me stand up, and I turned around so I could see his face. He pulled something out of his pocket. He pulled out a black velvet box. He quickly opened to reveal a very gorgeous ring.
It was white gold, and it was a heart with three diamonds. My eyes widened as he took it out of the box and slid onto my ring finger.
"Before you freak out, it's just a promise ring. I know that you are under tons of stress, but I also know I'm going to marry you one day. I just want this ring to show you how much I love you, how freaking awesome you are, how strong you are for taking the responsibility to raise three kids," but before he could say anything else, I threw my arms around his neck and kissed him with as much passion as I could come up with.
"I love you," I said smiling against his lips. "You didn't have to do this."
"But I wanted to, and that's not all," he said putting me back on the ground and grabbing my hand. "You won't trip because there's a trail."
I followed behind him, and I was surprised when he stopped suddenly. I looked around and notice a house that seemed like it blended into the wilderness. It looked huge, and we were just standing in front of it.
"Why are we standing in front of a house?" I asked looking up at Jared.
"Because it's ours," he said gently squeezing my hand. I swear my heart stopped. Did he just say that?
"Um," was all I could get out.
"You said at graduation that you needed to find your own home. And this one just came on the market," he said with a grin.
"How did you afford this?"
"I never spend any money I ever make. And plus, I'm a protector of La Push, I get what I want," he said with a chuckle.
"Before you say anything, you deserve this. I already talked to your mom, it's paid for, and everything should be in there. That's why the boys picked you up. I had this day planned perfectly, so you better love it," he said pulling me toward the front door. I carefully walked up the stairs of the porch. He opened the door and let me go in first.
This place was huge. Everything was open and light. And like Jared said, all the furniture was out.
"There are six bedrooms, so no one has to share. The backyard is huge. And there's a trail that leads to the beach in less than five minutes," Jared looked at me. "What do you think?"
What did I think? That he was insane? Most definitely. But beyond that I realized why he did this for me. Because he loved me and nothing was going to change that. So for the second time, I attack him. After a few minutes of kissing, I pulled away.
"I love you so much Jared," I said with tears streaming down my face.
"I fulots you," he said.
"What kind of word is that?"
"It means that I fucking love you a lot," he said. I laughed and kissed him again.
So let my perfect life, with the most amazing guy, begin.
The song was The Bad Touch, by Bloodhound Gang. And the promise ring is on my profile!! I can't remember for the life of me who suggested the promise ring, but to who ever you were thank you!! I hope you liked it!
