As I parked my car, in my assigned spot, all four of my children came charging out of the front doors of the hall. When I stepped out of the car Pam and Maury jumped into my arms. The two boys came up to hug me after my arms where free. Maury went to Paul's arms and Pam ran back to Seth as the boys led us into the hall.

The hall was huge it was about two football fields long and about the same wide and was currently full and very loud. I loved how Paul and his crew decorated it not only did they decorate the tree but also the whole whall. The beautiful white twinkle lights and wight flowers hanging from the cealing along with all of tinsell and decorations just made it feel so quaint and kind of like a home. Not only the beauty of it but the flowers made it smell just wonderfull. I was glad when my mom picked this as her favorite of the three because it is also mine.

After admiring it for a few more minutes sissy and Bella came over and told me the food was all set out and they where ready to start searving. I smiled and tried to call the pride to order but it was to loud for them to hear me so I did the next best thing, sign. I stepped up on the stage and grabbed the mike and turned it on and tapped it four or five times before I started to sign. The room went quite and I continued welcome everyone, to the annual Christmas eve bash all of you except the new comers know the schedule witch is eat first and then we can mingle and dance when we are finished. Later in the night we exchange gifts. The kids can head up to eat then the adults can follow.

I turned to step off the stage when Emmy, Jake, Emb and Paul all asked "What was all that about" Ness laughed and I turned to her who was up at the bar getting her food and she shook her head. Seth was behind her helping both of my baby's get their plates. I laughed and when I seen Seth setting the plates on the table I asked "Seth can you please explain to your brothers" he laughed and nodded. He stepped to the side and waved for them to come with him. Paul and Emb both whined "how dose he know if we don't." I looked between the two and sighed "simple he pays attention when me and the kids are signing and if he dose not understand a sign he asks and also he has been practicing" I answered before I walked away.

I walked over to hug my cousin Joan, who just got back from overseas where her husband is posted, she is moving back home to work for my firm because us partners gave her a good deal. "Hey boss" she said when I walked up to her. I laughed "no boss tonight just me how have you been I have missed you " I have not seen her in over two years. "I am good" she smiled "dealing with two cranky teens is no fun though" she pointed at her two boys across the room. I smiled "yeah I know the feeling" I pointed out all four of mine then the wolfs "how are they taking it you being back here?" She sighed "not good specially since their parents might be getting a divorce" she glanced at her boys "he cheated on me and they are blaming it all on me."

I frowned and she stopped me from talking "I know you never trusted him wish I would have listened." I shrugged "I am sorry I never wanted you to be hurt or for them to be caught in this kind of mess." She nodded "I just want to enjoy myself tonight and forget about it for one night." We hugged and decied to go up and get our dishes.

Before we even took two steps Seth caught my attention and signed mom sit we will bring you two a plate. I smiled and nooded before heading to the nearest table to sit. Joan was looking at me expectantly and I could not figure out why so I raised and eye brow. She smiled "who is that and why is he calling you mom." I smiled "his name is Seth I call him my fifth kid but he is Pam's mate. The one with him is my mate Paul and the two behind them is Jake witch is Nessies" I pointed her out "mate and the last but not least is my best friend Embry." She nodded as all but Jake walked up to the table to sit down soon followed by my youngest rug rats.

I was to busy watching Seth, and Paul play with the kids to pay any attention to what was happening around me. I felt a pushing on my mental link so I opened it "Sis Joan just found her mate" it was Jamie I looked over at him like he was crazy. He waved his hands to the side of me and when I looked I knew right away he was right. I just could not believe her mate was Emb at least now he could officialy be in my family. I used my link to get Jakes attetntion "Jake Emb is my cousin Joans mate" I informed him. He jumped up and looked over at the table we where sat at with a shocked look.

I stood and ordered both of them to follow me outside so I could talk to them in semi private. I waved my hand infront of their faces after we stopped "What?" Emb snapped then "sorry" he said and I nodded. "Do you two understand what is going on" Joan nodded and so did Emb. Joan walked over to me with tears in her eyes "after everything I thought I would never be happy again" I hugged her "I hope he will let me be happy." She walked around the corner of the building I assume to call her soon to be ex-husband.

Emb looked at me confused "what is wrong with her why is she so upset" he was starting to freak. I walked over to him and put my hand on his shoulder "Calm down." He frowned and started to ask me to explain "not my story to tell Emb but I am sure she will tell you everything." We both sighed and I smiled "be patient with her" I made him look me in the eye "you ever hurt her you will answer to me." He nodded "got it and it wont happen." We where both smilling I hugged him "I am happy for you both and by the way welcome into the family, this makes it official."
