"You okay Kell?" Paul poked my arm and I turned slowly to glance at him. Neala and John had convinced us to stay over the night. Well, Neala had convinced Harry to stay and I couldn't leave him.

So now, Paul and I were sitting in the bed of the small guest room while Harry slept on the couch. I was fairly sure he was still munching in the endless supply of cookies Neala has produced. It was like she had been waiting for a grandchild to stuff baked goods with. A part of me was sure that she had been.

"I'm fine Paul, really." I smiled at him before turning to look out the window again. I wondered how many times I'd stayed here before I'd moved. Judging by the amount of toys and drawing pinned to the walls, I'd guess a lot.

Paul picked me up by around the waist and put me in his lap, I sighed and tried to get up, but he held me in place.

"Yeah, for some reason, I don't believe you." I leaned my head against his shoulder, giving up.

"Do you think he's still out there? Looking for me?" Paul was silent for a second, he pulled me closer before he answered.

"If I were him, I'd never give up." I stuck my tongue out at him. "Seriously! I wouldn't, not when there was a chance you were still out there somewhere." He shrugged. "I guess it's kind of different, I'm your imprint, he's your dad. But it's kind of the same." I smiled slightly and managed to pull away from Paul.

"What if he does find me? What if he walks through that front door right now and tells me that he's my dad? And I will have no idea who he is? How do I explain how I can't leave Harry behind and that despite everything, he's the only family I know." I took a deep breath and turned to face Paul. "How do I explain that after twenty years of not being with shape shifters, I've returned with one from a different continent? One that I'm dating no less." I sank to the floor, ignoring Paul when he sat down beside me.

"Don't?" I glared at Paul, hitting his shoulder.

"That's not funny Paul," I hissed at him, lowering my voice. It was probably really late, everyone else should be asleep by now. "What am I supposed to say to him? And did you notice how no one really mentioned my mom? Where is she?" Paul opened his mouth to answer when we heard the front door slam shut.

He was on red alert immediately. He picked me up and tossed me onto the bed.

"Be quiet." I nodded and cowered under the sheets. It must have been bad if Paul was acting like this. Then again, he'd given me bed sheets as protection...

"Paul?" He whipped his head around to glare at me.

"Shush!" He reached for the door knob slowly with a trembling hand. I bit my lip and resisted the urge to tell him to calm down. The way his hand was trembling around the door knob was starting to scare me.

I swallowed hard after a couple seconds of tense silence. "Paul, Harry's out there..." His shaking got worse and he yanked the door open.

He took one step out of the room before someone stepped in front of him.

He had Harry by the collar and his hands were shaking just as much as Paul's were. If possible, he looked angrier.

"Harry." My voice cracked. He had the most frightened expression on his face, which was rare for Harry.

"Let him go," Paul hissed.

"Who is he? Who are you?" For some reason, Paul and the other guy both kept their voices low. I knew Paul didn't want to wake my grandparents... But what was this guys deal?

"I should be asking you the same thing buddy. But first, I suggest you let the kid go." He scoffed.

"And what if I don't?" He lifted Harry off his feet, making Harry make a sort of choking noise and grab for his throat. That was the last straw for me.

I was out of the covers and at the door in seconds.

"Please, please let my brother go." I reached for Harry, but Paul pulled me back, watching the other man wearily.

"Your...brother?" He was staring at me. He looked confused, and hurt, but at the same time his expression hardened like he was shielding himself from something.

But he dropped Harry, who went on to crawl behind Paul and straight into my arms. I checked him over like he was a little kid, which I knew he would have hated if we were in any other situation. I kissed the top of his head when I was sure he was fine. He pushed me away when I did that, grimacing at me.

"I'm fine," he muttered, and I sighed in relief.

"Neala?" My initial reaction was to call for my grandmother, then I realized he was talking to me. "Is that really you?" He took a step towards me and Paul lurched sideways to create a barrier between us.

"What do you think you're doing?"

"This is my territory kid." Paul growled and took a step closer to the stranger.

"And she's my imprint. Where she is becomes my territory."

"Imprint?" I glanced at Harry fleetingly before looking back up at Paul. Was it weird that his words were making me feel all warm and fuzzy inside?

Paul only growled in response, but the other man only stared at me. Looking more angry than awestruck as the seconds ticked by.

"You imprinted on her? Who do you think you are?" In a matter of seconds, the man had Paul pinned to the wall out in the hall. The house shook at the impact.

"Shit," Harry muttered, backing up even further.

I stared helplessly as Paul struggled to fight back, but remained where he was, completely in the strangers power. I stood up once I sensed that Paul's anger was really flaring.

Harry grabbed my wrist though, probably seeing what I was about to do and trying to stop me.

"For the love of God Kelly, please don't do what I think you're going to do." I stared at him blankly before pulling my arm away.

"Leave him alone." Harry groaned from behind me and both Paul and the stranger turned to look at me.

"What?" But the stranger let Paul go and turned to face me.

"What he said," I took a deep breath, willing my voice not to shake any more than it already was. "About us being imprints. He's right, we are. And even though I may be some weak human, I will protect my imprint."

The stranger stared at me in shock as Paul chuckled behind him.

"Great, the guys will never let me live this one down. Saved by my "weak" human imprint." The stranger turned again, to stare at Paul, and Paul punched him in the face.

I gasped and Harry cheered behind me.

Paul shook out his hand a couple times, wincing.

"Damn, that hurt." He smiled at me. "That hasn't happened since I punched Quil that one time..." His voice trailed off and he stared at the crumpled man at our feet. "Hey Kell, you don't think..."

"That that was my father you just knocked out?" I sighed, running a hand through my hair. I'd realized that the second Paul had punched him. "You're really bad at first impressions Paul. Have fun making this one up."

Heeey guys... So it's been a couple weeks since I updated last. And honestly, I don't think this chapter is anywhere near the kind of chapter I should be posting after such a long break... But it was the best I could do! It's been so long since I put myself in Kelly's world, it took me a while for me to get them to let me back in... But I tried my best, hopefully the next chapter will be up in a week or so! Super sorry about the long wait! And to whoever hasn't completely given up on me, or hates my guts for leaving them in suspense for so long, thanks for waiting~ I'm sure the end of this story won't disappoint you!
