WOW! 100 reviews! Abigail you're review was the 100th, YAY! I also loved my 101st review from Lani13 where I was called me a great writer it honestly means a lot to me that people like what I write and I really appreciate all the reviews! I have made a decision regarding the whole split story or keep it as a huge one debate I was having. And seeing as I haven't even got out of the beginning of the story at some point I'm going to split it if I can find a decent place to split it (With a good cliff hanger just for you Abigail!) but don't worry I'll put a link to it on this story.
33. Homecoming
Callie POV
I woke up early on Monday morning in Jacob's arms and could have cried as I realised this was the last time I would fall asleep in his arms for a while.
"What's up, Cal?" Jake asked me sleepily as he opened one of his gorgeous brown eyes.
"I'm going to miss this." I confessed as I snuggled against his chest and tried to memorise every last second of our alone time together.
"I know, Cal I'm going to miss this too but just think one day we'll live together." We both grinned at each other at the thought of the future that stretched out in front of us. He pulled me closer to him and instantly went back to sleep. How he did that I'd never know but I guess it must be a wolf thing. Listening to Jacob's even breathing made me feel instantly sleepy and it wasn't long before I joined Jake in the comfort of sleep.
I was dreaming of a beautiful white house with red flowers in the window box and a familiar rabbit parked on the drive. I was coming home from work (I'm not sure where I worked but whatever it was I liked it) and I walked into a small, cosy living room with a fire going and lots of pictures on the wall.
"I'm home!" I called out as I pulled myself out of a pretty blue coat (seriously need to buy one like that) and moved towards the small kitchen. Jake appeared from the door before I could get in with a small child on his hip. She must have been about a year or so old and was the most beautiful child I had ever seen with my green eyes and Jake's dark hair and russet skin.
"Momma." She held her arms out for me and repeated the word Momma again and again ( I seriously love that word).
"How was work, baby?" Jake asked as he handed our daughter to me and kissed me on the lips.
"Good, how was you're day off?" I asked as I followed him into the kitchen where he was cooking (how the hell he could cook I'd never know, according to Billy he had been known to burn cereal. Yes, really! He left it on the cooker apparently) us some dinner.
"It was great, Maya and me went to the park to feed the ducks didn't we honey?" He kissed her black curls and wrapped his arms around me.
"Did you have fun?" I cooed to her as she giggled and wrapped her arms around my neck.
"Callie, Callie! Wake up!" I was being shaken awake by my irritating best friend.
"Why did you have to wake me up?! I was having a great dream!" I moaned as Jake and I sat up and looked at the clock which now read 11:30!
"You're Dad will be here in a second he was just parking up!" She yelled as she helped me up. Jake sprang off the bed and pulled yesterday's clothes on.
"What were you dreaming about?" He asked nonchalantly as he dressed.
"Nothing." I said quickly as my face blushed red but Maya refused to leave my mind. I felt tears well up, the dream had been so real and I would give anything to have that little girl in my arms again.
"Oh, I see." Tammy raised her eyebrows and smirked at me as she thought she had worked out what had got me so embarrassed.
"Oh, wish I'd been in that dream." Jake smirked as he smoothed his crinkled shirt out.
"It wasn't what you two were thinking!" I growled in my defence which made them both laugh. Luckily my Dad saved me from any more speculation as he came through the door and hugged me.
"I can't wait to take you home!" He grinned and looked around the room and his eyes settled on Jake and we all prayed he wouldn't recognise the clothes. Luckily my Dad had never been that observant and just carried on as normal. "Have you packed all you're stuff?"
"Umm, a bit." I looked at the bag which contained one book and a dressing down. "I'll get onto that and can someone get me some breakfast I'm starving." As if on cue my stomach grumbled and the others laughed as we began packing my stuff up so we could get home!
I had never been so grateful to see a house before in my life! As we pulled up in the driveway I wanted to race into the house and collapse on the familiar sofa but moving still hurt so I decided against it and let Jake help me out of the car.
"How are you feeling?" He asked as Dad hurried to open the door, he had decided that if I was out in the fresh air for more then a minute I would catch pneumonia and die.
"Glad to be home. " I turned to Tammy who was on my other side -apparently I couldn't walk without two people on either side of me in case I forgot home to walk and fell over, who knew! I shouldn't really be mean as it was only because they cared about me but it was still annoying- and grinned at her. "I can't wait to see our new room!"
"It's amazing it really is. I love living with you lot!" She smiled sincerely at me and I knew how much it meant to her to belong somewhere. Embry had swapped rooms with us as the two of us couldn't have fit into my small room. As a treat my Dad and Anna had painted and done up both rooms and I couldn't wait to see them.
"Come on in, Cal." The three of them grinned at me and I knew they had planned some kind of surprise for my homecoming. I loved my family! I let Jake lead me into the living room where all my friends and family (plus Rochelle but I refused to count her as family) were crowded in waiting for me.
"Welcome home!" They all chorused and I was pounced on by a million people who wanted to hug me and tell me they were glad I was ok. It was nice seeing them all and I was beginning to understand what Jake meant by the feeling of family you got from the wolf pack.
"It's so good to see you with some colour in your cheeks." My Gran grabbed hold of me and pinched my cheek to put even more colour into it.
"Thanks Gran." I rubbed my sore cheek, she may be old but she had a good grip on her.
"Now, I know you'll tell me to mind my own business but I don't like that boyfriend of yours after the way he spoke to Rochelle at the hospital." OH MY GOD they didn't care about what she had said to me or done to Jake!
"After the way she spoke to me I'm glad he did." I folded my arms stubbornly and she got the message to leave it. After she left my side the rest of the wolf pack came over all the while glaring daggers at Rochelle who was stood in the corner sulking that no boys would talk to her.
"God, how many of you lot have imprinted?" Embry complained as he hugged me and looked around at all of us imprinters.
"Ah I bet you'll be next." Emily smiled at him. No one could believe how right she was...
