A/N: So this is the third update in three days :) I'm so proud of myself. I really like this chapter, even though it's short. I'm still working on 13, and it's reeeaaallllyyyyy long. Oh, and I changed the rating to M because chapter 13 gets...steamy. Not sex, though.

Enjoy! ღ•*

By the time Monday came around, I was more excited than a little kid on Christmas. I had called Jared that night and told him about her, and about some of the trouble we had gotten into during her past visits. I had helped my mom clean the whole house, including setting up the guest room for Aunt Miranda and pulling out the trundle bed in my room for Corinne. Ten minutes before they were supposed to arrive, I texted Jared.

"They're going to be here in 10. So excited! -Kim"

We had decided that Corinne and I should spend some time together before I introduced her to Jared. I really wanted her to meet him, because I knew that she would love him. Besides, maybe she could meet someone down here in La Push. I looked down on my phone and saw that Jared had replied.

"I know you are. You're so adorable : ) Call me when you can hang. -Jared"

He's so sweet. I checked the clock and realized that Aunt Miranda and Corinne were going to be here any minute. I looked out the window and saw their car pull up.

"MOM!" I shouted, "THEY'RE HERE!" She came running into the room, and we opened the door and walked outside.

"Anda-Anda Bear!" yelled my mom, (they have embarrassing nicknames for each other, just like Aylin and I), "Get your butt over here!"

"Oh, look, it's Oz the Great and Powerful," yelled Miranda, "Did you come to give me a heart?"

"Nope, a brain!" They started laughing hysterically. I looked at Corinne, who smiled. Watch this, I mouthed, and winked. She nodded.

"CORINNEY-POO!" I yelled, louder than my mom or Miranda, "I MISSED YOU SO MUCH!" Corrine, keeping a straight face, yelled back,

"KIMMY-BEAR I MISSED YOU MORE! GET YOUR BUTT OVER HERE SO I CAN HUG YOU!"

We finished by running across the yard in slow motion, before colliding dramatically. By then, we couldn't contain our laughter. We fell on the ground, laughing until we were crying. We looked up at our moms, who were just standing there, shaking their heads and laughing.

"Fine," said my mom, "You two can handle the bags. C'mon, Miranda." With that, they walked inside. I looked at Corinne.

"Can you believe our moms?" I asked.

"You know, I don't know how Grandma handled them as sisters," she said, shaking her head. Miranda was dark-skinned like me, since our moms were sisters. Her skin was a shade or so lighter, since her dad wasn't from the reservation. He had skipped out on them when she was two, so she didn't remember him at all. We have the same straight black hair, but her eyes are blue, and she's taller than I am. I think she's about 6 feet, but I'm not completely sure.

We gathered up all of the bags and headed inside, putting her moms bags in the guest room and her bags in my room. We then sat on my bed, and we caught up. I told her about Jared, and she told me about the various guys she had had things with since the last time I had seen her.

"So, when am I going to meet Prince Charming?" she asked. Since I couldn't tell her about the imprinting, I told her about how much I liked him, which led to the nickname.

"You've already met him," I reminded her.

"True, but that's when you two were friends. And it was only for a second. You've never told me about him like this before."

"Well, he wanted us to get settled in and caught up before you met him."

"Okay, well my stuff is in here, and I think we've caught up. Can we go see him? Or can he come here? Please?" she begged. I started laughing.

"Of course, Corinne."

We found my mom and Aunt Miranda in the living room, laughing hysterically.

"And this, Corinne," I said, pointing at them, "Is what we will look like when we're older." My mom laughed. "Hey mom, I was wondering if it's okay if Corinne and I go see Jared. She really wants to meet him."

"Oh, your boyfriend?" asked Miranda. I nodded. "I want to meet him too. You should invite him over for dinner tonight! Dorothy, can we? Please?"

"Miranda, you sound like you're five again," said my mom, laughing, "I was planning on it just being us tonig-oh, don't you pull that face with me! Fine, he can come for dinner," she said, laughing.

We said goodbye to our moms, and got in my car and drove to Jared's. My mom knew about Jared having his own house, but we didn't think that we should tell Aunt Miranda right away. I had already told Corinne, who thought that it was the coolest thing ever. We got to his house, and Corinne and I walked up and knocked on the door. Jared answered a few seconds later, looking like he had just woken up.

"Jared," I said, "You look like you just woke up. And I called you right before we left, saying we were coming over…did you fall asleep while you were waiting?"

"Maybe," he said groggily, "but I'm awake now. Come on in." We walked into his newly decorated house. He and I had gone shopping a few days before, and his house looked fantastic. We had gotten lots of wood cabin-type décor, and some girly stuff for me, too.

"Jared," I said, "This is my cousin, Corinne. Corinne, this is Jared." Corinne shook his hand, seeming intimidated by his size. After awhile, though, she seemed to warm up to him. We hung out in the living room, talking about random things, and just catching up. Corinne told him about Oregon, and told stories about a few parties she had been to. I invited Jared to dinner, and he declined, saying that he had a previous engagement, which I took to mean that he had to patrol. When we left around 4, he said that a group of the guys were going to the beach the next day, and invited us to join them. I told him that we would love to, because I honestly couldn't wait for Corinne to meet the guys.

We drove home, and I told my mom that Jared couldn't make it to dinner, and that he was really sorry. I think that she was actually kind of happy that he had declined, because she wanted to talk to Miranda without Miranda getting distracted by my hunk of a boyfriend.

When I woke up the next day, my mom told me that when my dad had gotten back the night before, he had surprised her and Miranda with three train tickets. They were going to go up to Canada, and go sightseeing. They asked us if we would be okay with staying alone, and we assured them that we would be fine. They were leaving that afternoon, and would be back in four days. Before they left, my mom pulled me aside.

"Now, I'm sure your dad has already told you to not let Jared spent the night," I nodded, because my dad had told me this about an hour before, along with a lecture about unprotected sex and teenage pregnancy. "Well, I know you're going to invite him over. I should tell you not to, but if you really want to, go ahead. Just, please don't have sex. Okay?" I nodded again, because I really wasn't planning on having sex anytime soon. "Second, I'm sure that Aylin or someone is going to try to persuade you to have a party. You know how your dad and I feel when it comes to drinking, and since it's still break, a party is okay. I know that Corinne is not new to house parties, so it's not that big of a deal. Just make sure to keep it under control, and to clean the house when you're done. Okay?" I nodded. "Okay. I love you, be safe." After they left, I told Corinne what my mom had said. She sat there in utter disbelief.

"Your mom said you could have a party? While they were gone?" I nodded, laughing. "That is SO cool!"

We went to the beach around 2, throwing on bathing suits and sundresses. The sun was out, so we figured that swimming was a possibility. When we got to the beach, I immediately saw Jared, along with Paul, Jacob, Embry, and Quil playing football. Quil had changed a few weeks before, but he was just now becoming comfortable with the wolf gene. Corinne followed me down to the beach, and we put towels down on the sand not too far from the guys. The second Jared saw me, he ran up to me and kissed me. I introduced Corinne to the guys, when another guy walked up. I recognized him, even though he looked…older. It was Seth Clearwater. I looked at Jared questioningly, who nodded.

"Corinne, this is Seth Clearwater. Seth, this is my cousin, Corinne." The second he looked at her, it was like everything in his mind was gone. I vaguely recognized the same expression that Jared had had that day on the beach…when we got in that fight…when….he imprinted on me….Holy shit. Seth just imprinted on my cousin.
