Chapter 6
We sat in that same place on First beach for a long time. It was getting darker by the minute.
But I wasn't thinking about that.
She loves me too.
After those words left her lips I felt like singing and happy dancing, but I don't want to scare her away.
I was dead serious when I told her that I would do whatever it takes to save her from her cancer. I wouldn't talk about it around her and I will try not to think about it often, but I will keep my promise no matter what it takes. I will ask Dr. Cullen about it, I decided. He may be able to think of a way that a normal doctor wouldn't think of.
I remembered that she told me she wanted to meet everybody.
"April?" I asked, breaking our comfortable silence.
"Hmm?" she replied timidly.
"Do you wanna meet everybody?" I said.
"Oh! Yeah, of course." She said excitedly. I laughed.
"Okay. We can tonight if you're up for it." I told her. I really hoped she was because I wanted the pack to meet her.
"Okay, yeah. Let's go. But, I should probably stop at my house first. You can meet my mom and my sister." She seemed even more excited than I was.
"Great. You live close?" I guessed.
"Ya, I'll show you, come on." She replied climbing off my lap and standing to her feet. I pushed myself off the ground after her and we began walking.
It didn't take long for up to reach the small, one-story home that she claimed as hers. It had a bright blue door that contrasted with the bricks next to it. We walked up a short cement path and a few short stairs to the front door. April took a small key out of her bag and pushed it into the whole, opening the door. We stepped inside
"Mom? Were home." She slipped her shoes off at the door.
"In the kitchen, baby. Wait… we?" The soft voice came from one of the rooms to the right. There home was nice. The walls were covered with pictures and paintings. There were many small rugs that lay in a filed array on the wooden floor.
"Uh… yeah. We. I want you to meet somebody." She replied, seeming unsure at first and then smiling up at me.
"Okay. I'll be right out." The voice said again, then called louder "May, your sisters home."
It took about three seconds until you could hear the little girls' voice. "APRIL!" she ran into the room we were in, right past me and into Aprils waiting arms. May was about up to her sisters' stomach. She had long wavy blonde hair and sparkling blue eyes. She was wearing blue jeans and a simple, black long sleeved shirt. She pulled away from April and seemed to notice me for the first time. She gasped and turned to April. "Who's that?" She asked, her voice wondered and her eyes wide as she jerked her tiny thumb in my direction.
April let her jump down and they both walked over to were I was standing. At almost that exact moment, a young looking woman with May's hair and eyes walked into the room. Her eyed widened slightly as well.
"Mom, May, this is Embry." April said simply and then added "He's my boyfriend. I think." She looked up at me in question. I smiled and nodded, then she did the same.
"You're tall." May said loudly as if shouting into the sky. I laughed.
"I know. You're pretty." She blushed and muttered a thank you.
"Well, aren't you a cutie." April's mom said putting out her hand, I shook it and nodded my head in thanks.
"You have a very nice home." I said. She smiled brightly.
April turned to me, "I'm gonna change first. Why don't you wait outside?" She suggested
"Of course." We parted way and just as I was about to turn to the door I heard my name. I turned to see April's mom.
"You make her happy. I haven't seen her this happy in a long time." This touched me more than anything else she could have said. This was my life goal: Make April happy. I smiled widely
"Thank you Ms. Grey." She nodded and walked back into the room she was in before I came. May was standing behind me when I turned around. She suddenly jumped and wrapped her short arms around my torso. Once I was over the initial surprise, I grabbed her and held her so she wouldn't have to work so hard.
"I'll see you soon Embry. Thanks for calling me pretty." She said in a shy voice.
"No problem, May. Anytime." I replied. She kissed my cheek with a dramatic 'Mwah' and I put her down. I headed out the door thinking of the reactions my family would have to April.
I stepped into the small patch of woods that surrounded the house and undressed to phase.
Hey, I started once I was in wolf form, if any of you guys want to meet April, I'm taking her to Emily and Sam's.
I quickly phased back before I could hear anyone's reply and walked out of the wood to wait for her.
When she finally emerged through the door, I took her hand and we began to walk into the direction of the beach. Then I realized how I got there in the first place. I ran. I can't make her walk all the way to their house. Oh no.
"April, Sam and Emily's house is sorta far. I ran here from there." I said nervously.
"Okay?" she didn't seem to understand. "Well, I don't reall- Oh. Um… can I ride on your back?" She asked, her voice a whisper. I didn't even think of that.
"Sure!" I exclaimed. "But don't get scared when you see me please. I would never hurt you, I swear." I pleaded.
"I could never be scared of you." She smiled up at me. I grimaced and ran in to another patch of woods. Once I was phased, I blocked out the thoughts of my brothers and started towards where April was.
Once I came out I heard her gasp and I saw her eyes grow wide. Double oh no. She didn't really look afraid, but she could be hiding it. Then, unexpectedly, she walked until she was directly in front of me and started rubbing under my chin. It was wonderful. I felt my eyes close.
"You're really tall." She muttered. I barked out a laugh and she smiled. "How am I supposed to get up there?" She continued.
I rolled my eyes and tossed her as carefully as I could onto my back with my paw. I heard her squeal in surprise before nestling between my oversized shoulder bones.
"You're so warm." She murmured in pleasure. I laughed again. I felt her latch her hands onto some of the thick fur on my back. I nodded and began walking. As I sped into a run I felt her grip tighten slightly.
I ran carrying her for all of six minutes before I slowed to a stop and kneeled down so she could slide of my back.
When she did, I moved so I was in front of her and looked her in the face. She had a large smile plastered on her face. I took that as my hint that she didn't hate it and ran to phase back and change.
I walked quietly out of my small patch of trees and walked to where April was standing.
"That was amazing!" She squealed. "I've never had so much fun in my life. You should take me everywhere like that."
I laughed. "Yeah, maybe." I joked "Alright, let's go."
"Yeah." She agreed. We walked through the little bit of woods until we reached the small grey house that was as much a home to me as where I actually live. She followed me up the single stair and into the door. The sight made me laugh.
Quil, Sam, Seth, Paul, Jared, Brady, and Collin were all squished into the two small couches in Emily's living room. Seth and Quil were both bouncing in their seats. Emily was nestled into Sam's lap and Claire was perched on Quil's knee.
All their heads snapped in our direction in the same second and I felt April jump slightly behind me.
"Uh… Hey." I said "Where's Jake?"
"With the Cullens." Sam answered. I nodded.
Quil was suddenly in front of me, pushing me out of the way so he could get to April, who was hidden behind my back. I shot him a warning glance before stepping out of the way. April started forward with her hand out stretched Quil reached his hand out only to pull her forcefully forward and gather her into a huge hug.
After a couple of seconds of him not letting go I exclaimed "Quil! You're gonna suffocate her!"
He gently set her back on the ground; he had a huge smile on his face.
"Sorry, bro. You got yourself a cutie." He looked at April, I growled. "Oh, don't be ridiculous." He muttered.
"Thanks." April said quietly. I grabbed her hand and led her towards where the others sat.
"April." I pointed to each person as I said their name "this is Sam, Seth, Paul, Collin, Jared and Brady. Sam's fiancée, and imprint, Emily. The big dud that almost accidentally killed you is Quil and this is Quil's imprint, little Claire." I said. She looked at me wide-eyed, probably because of Claire's obvious young age, and I nodded. "Everybody, this is April." I finished.
"Wow, I suck at remembering names." She looked up at me when she said the last part and I laughed along with everyone else. Then she shook everyone's hands, muttering their names quietly as she passed them. Seth did the same thing as Quil, but without the warning from me and Claire hugged her leg tightly. Apparently Quil explained to her who she was so she wouldn't be shy. When April got back to me she had the smile on her face that I have learned that I love. I wrapped my arms around her waist from behind and rested my chin on her head.
"So, what's new?" I asked. I hadn't really been paying attention to much the past few days. I was… distracted.
"Nothin." Sam said, sounding bored. I laughed.
"Fun." I said.
I let go of April and brought her over to a spot on the floor to sit and pulled her onto my lap. She rested her head on my chest and we talked with everybody. About everything. Except her cancer, but they would know soon enough. Stupid mind reading. Claire fell asleep in Quil's arms soon after we arrived. April and Emily seemed to hit it off quite well and I think her and Quil will get along like brother and sister. I was so happy that everyone seemed to like each other. We both noticed it was getting late and I declared it time to take her home.
She rode on my back again, after practically begging I may add. When we reached her house, I walked her to her door.
"That was so great. I frikkin love your family." We both laughed and I pulled her forward and wrapped my arms around her.
"I frikkin love you, too." She said quietly as an after thought. I pulled her face up with my thumb and brought my head down to hers. She went on her tip toes and our lips met. I held her tight; we seemed to fit together perfectly. Our lips moved in synchrony and when we finally broke apart we were both breathing heavy.
"I love you more." I said after I caught my breath.
"I don't think so." She said and a light pink color stained her cheeks.
"Do you wanna meet Jake and the Cullens tomorrow?" I asked, trying to make her less embarrassed.
She nodded fiercely. "Who's Jake?" she asked.
"He's my best friend. He's always with the Cullens because he imprinted on Renesmee, that's Edward and Bella's daughter, remember?" I replied.
"Of course I remember. I'm really excited to meet all of them." She said "Oh! I meant to ask you, how can Quil and Jake's imprints be so young? They don't, like, do anything do they?"
"No! Absolutely not. They can later, if they choose but for now Jacob and Quil are like big brothers or best friends."
"Okay." She seemed to be thinking. "Well, I better go. I'll see you tomorrow?"
"Yeah. I'll miss you." I confessed finding a sudden interest in my shoes.
"I will too." I hugged her again and kissed her cheek before turning and walking down her driveway.
