Thaaaanks for all of the lovely reviews!

To answer a few questions: Yes, to absolutely confirm it, Carlie is Renesmee. And yes, the Cullens, as well as the rest of the pack will make an appearance near the end. But it's a long way away.

SM owns Twilight.

I fought the battle of the bulge, in my pants, every day. And I have won, so far.

It was 2 weeks since our student teacher conference. And I worked hard everyday to become a friend to Carlie. And I think I succeeded. We would joke, talk, and do other stuff friends would. Unfortunately she still saw something in Cook. So I had to deal with him.

I watched them at lunch everyday. Carlie would usually sit on his lap and occasionally pick at his food. They got pretty physical sometimes. I heard from eves dropping on Cook's locker room conversations that they had not slept together yet, but he really wanted to, and thought winter formal would be the night.

So naturally, I signed up to chaperone the dance, and just because I can, I signed Embry up too. He was pissed. But I reasoned that I would need some one to hide the body while I swept Carlie away to Las Vegas.

It was the Monday before winter formal, and I figured 3 weeks of volleyball was enough, so I switched to flag football. Carlie and I chatted while the others came in, and as soon as I explained the rules and split them up into teams, I started to inconspicuously move around so I could be close to her.

We were about half way through the period when we were interrupted. "Jake!" I loud voice said from the door way.

There was no way I could forget that smell. Quil. I turned around. And, sure enough, Quil was running towards me.

I gave him a totally hetero hug when he reached where I was standing. "Hey man! What are you doing here?" I asked with a smile.

"I was chosen by the p- er, our group of friends to, um, see you new life." He hinted.

"Where's Claire?" I asked. I met her before Quil phased and imprinted.

"Aw. Cant I just come say hi?" he asked. My eyebrows rose. He caved, "Vacation in Florida."

I laughed. "I thought so. But its great to see you man."

"I thought I smelled dog!" Embry's voice boomed from the door way.

Quil ran over to him. "Hey Em!" he said after a manly hug.

Embry frowned. "Dude, its Mr. Call."

Quil laughed as they walked over to me. "Whatever. So hey," he began in a whisper. "who?"

I was just about to point Carlie out, when I realized that most of my class stopped their game to watch Quil, Embry, and me. Everyone except Carlie, who was creeping up on Cook, who had the ball. Before I could say anything, she tackled him.

"Dommed!" she yelled when she got the ball from him. "You just got bested by a girl!"

Quil burst out laughing, "Oh, please let it be her." I nodded slightly and Quil laughed.

Carlie smiled and turned to us, "Mr. Wolfe! Did you see that! I think-" she cut off when she saw Quil. "You three look like brothers. Did you know that?"

I smiled. "Yeah. Quil is our other cousin."

"Oh." She replied.

Quil looked at me with worried eyes, "I can see her as clear as Claire."

It shocked me. That meant she was in pain, a vampire, or Quil's imprint. The last two being very unlikely. Carlie was hurting. "Shit."

Embry frowned too. If one wolf imprints his imprint becomes like a sister to all of the other wolves, Embry was slightly protective of her too, not as much as me, but just enough to make him care. "I wonder what's wrong. She seems happy." He said.

"I gotta find out somehow. If it's Cook, I swear to god." I didn't bother to finish my threat.

Quil patted me on the back. "I wouldn't worry about it to much, one day when Claire was really tired, the guys could see her, she was blurry again the next day."

It still worried me, but I didn't dwell on it to much. I hadn't seen Quil in ten years! "Its great to see you Quil." I said honestly.

"Holy freakin' crap!" Leah exclaimed as she came barreling in with Seth on her heals. "Seth wasn't lying when he said he smelled you here!" she laughed.

Quil looked around nervously at my students. "You guys need to come up with some better insults. Embry already used that one."

"Ha ha." Leah said dryly as she pulled him in for a quick hug.

"Hey Quil." Seth said, greeting him with a hand shake.

"Mr. Wolfe." Carlie came up cautiously. "Sorry to interrupt your family moment, but we can see that you're probably busy and want us out of your hair, same for you Mr. Call. So we were wondering if the rest of this period and second period can be frees?" she gave me and Embry a blinding smile, "I drew the short straw, so I had to ask." She joked.

I smiled. "I would consider that a win."

She laughed and rolled her eyes. "Uh-huh. So how about it?" she gave me a puppy face. I cant say no to my imprint.

"Ah. Yeah. We're done for today. I don't know about Mr. Call."

Embry smiled. "Well, unlike Mr. Wolfe here, I have a back bone. And you guys have a quiz today. So no, you cant skip English."

Carlie pouted. "Fine." She said as she walked away and back to Cook.

Turned to Embry, "Jackass. I have a fucking back bone!"

He and Quil laughed. "Not when it comes to her." Quil said.

"Alright, well, I have to go print off my quizzes. Quil? How long are you staying?" Embry asked.

Quil shrugged, "Probably just today, Sam told me just to meet her and see what she's like. He told me to come home as soon as possible. We've been having a bunch of nomadic leeches pass through La Push."

I frowned. "You're all good though, right?"

Quil laughed. "Yeah. They usually come alone or in pairs, its not hard to take them out. But its freaking out Sam a little bit because there are so many. He thinks there's going to be a vamp gathering or something."

"Ew." Embry muttered as he nodded and walked away. Seth and Leah said bye. They both had to work.

I lead Quil into my office and pulled a chair up for him. We talked about all kinds of stuff. I finally learned the kid's names. I made a list just to be sure I remembered:

Sam and Emily: Spencer-7 Aubree- 4 and Levi- 2

Paul and Rachel: Robbie-6 and Ellie- 4

Jared and Kim: Eva- 2 and Kim is about 2 months pregnant.

Blake and Melody: Addison- 9 months

Collin and Jenna: Jenna is 20, they are in a relationship and are talking about marriage.

Sean and Kia: Kia is 21 and pressuring Sean for marriage. He is thinking about how to propose.

Quil and Claire: She is 12. and they are best friends. He doesn't have the hots for her yet.

Brady and Aubree: Aubree is Sam's daughter. Brady imprinted on her right after she was born.

I never actually met Sean and Blake, the phased after I left. Apparently the Cullens were worried the pack would attack their precious demon spawn, so they had all of their friends come into town, which made those two newbiees phase when they were just 14.

I filled Quil on our lives, I told him about every place we've lived over the past 7 years. He knew some of it. When Embry, Seth and Leah would visit, they would fill everyone in on our lives away.

We talked about Carlie. He said she was pretty. Pretty didn't even begin to cover what she was. Quil laughed when I told him she was a mechanic. He even tried to make a bet with me on how long it would take me to snap and confess my love.

Embry, Quil, and I went out for lunch. We reminisced about pre-Bella times. How our lives would be so much easier if she and her beloved leeches never came. It surprised me how much I hated Bella now. In the seconds before I imprinted, I still loved Bella and mourned her death. Now I felt anger. Not that I want her to now, but how could she pick a bloodsucker over me?

And now she was one, and there was no doubt in my mind that, if I ever crossed her path again in life, I would have no trouble killing her. I know Charlie would be kind of upset, but she was my enemy. I would destroy her.

Quil told us all about Sue and Charlie's wedding. The pack and the elders made a decision to allow Sue to tell Charlie about the Cullens, the pack, and what became of Bella. He was heartbroken. Charlie was apparently pissed at the Cullens for killing Bella. He still wanted to meet his granddaughter, but they convinced him that she was dangerous.

Life in La Push was relatively normal now that Bella was dead. She had her own legend now. She was hated in La Push, well, mainly by the pack for making me run and producing a demon spawn.

After school, I showed Quil her house. We were dismayed that we couldn't hear each other. Different packs. I wondered what would happen when I went back to La Push. There couldn't be 2 alphas. And I wouldn't fight Sam, I owe him to much. There would probably have to be two packs.

"So Quil," I began when we got back to our apartment, "how's Claire?"

He sighed, "She has a crush on me. But she's 12."

Leah smirked. "Aw."

"Shut up, Leah. Its just kind of hard right now. I'm trying to let her know I'm not interested in a 12 year old, with out hurting her feelings. I can tell she's trying to flirt with me."

Embry laughed. "Poor kid."

Quil sighed. "I think she's starting to realize it too. And she's sad. I don't like seeing her sad."

"Well, what would you prefer, her having an innocent crush on you, or her having crushes on other guys?" Seth reasoned. "And from the pictures we've received over the years, she's a cute kid."

Quil growled at the thought of Claire liking other guys. "But as soon as she hits puberty, it wont be so innocent. If she still has a crush and still throws herself at me. Fuck. I cant resist that." He drew his hands through his hair. "Wait, Jake, how do you deal with it?"

I laughed. "Carlie is pretty much the only girl at that school who doesn't throw herself at me. That's both good and bad."

"So she doesn't feel the imprint connection?" he asked, puzzled.

I smiled slightly. "I'm pretty sure she does. But she's denying it. Rach says she's freaked out by it. But then again, Rachel has been known to bullshit."

"Nah, Rachel is probably right. I know I would have been scared as hell if I had a strong connection to my high school gym teacher. Just give her time to figure it out." Leah said.

Embry laughed, "That's because La Push High had Mr. Ward, the 300 pound gym teacher!"

Leah laughed. "Oh god. I would have killed myself if I had a connection to him."

"So Charlie is moving to La Push." Quil said.

"We know. She called to make sure it was ok." Seth said casually.

"It doesn't bother me." Leah said. "She deserves happiness. Charlie is an ok guy. Despite is failed attempt to raise a child." She added.

I laughed. "Jesus. I know. I was thinking about that today. The idea repulses me now, but why wouldn't she choose me over him? A blood sucker? He admitted to her that he's killed before. I don't think I'll ever understand her."

Quil nodded his head. "Yeah. She knew having her…um, kid? Would kill her, but she had it anyway."

Seth made a face. "That thing must be fucked up. It was delivered with in one month of Bella getting pregnant."

Quil nodded again. "Yeah. Shit. By the time we meet with them, the kid was like a 6 month old. And it was only about 7 days after it was born. But here's the really fucked up part: she could already talk and walk. She actually said words to us."

"That's so fucked up!" I yelled. "What did it say?"

Quil smirked. "She said, 'They don't look nice, Daddy. I'm scared.' She only took one glance at us in wolf form and never again."

I smirked. "Good. I hope that will scare the creature away for a while. What did it look like?"

"Um, I don't really know. I only saw her hair. Same stupid shade as Edward, but curly like Charlie."

Leah grimaced. "I feel bad for the thing. Having 2 psycho parents, an over protective father and a dumbass mother. And then it fucking lives with 8 vampires that can hear everything, including one who can read her mind. Imagine when it tries to bring home a boyfriend. Ugh. Awkward."

We were all laughing now. "You actually feel bad for it?" Embry laughed.

Leah smiled. "Well, ok, not really. But her life has got to suck!"

We continued to discuss the Cullens and drink beer until we went to bed. Quil slept on the couch.
