HELLO! I couldn't leave this story as it was and so I have written an ending to this story. I hope you all enjoy and review. Also I did change some things that happened in the book/movie to fit with my write.

THE LAST CHAPTER….HONESTLY

I couldn't help but laugh at the realization that not only was my little sister a werewolf she had just imprinted and been imprinted on by from what I could tell was the most temperamental shape-shifter in the pack. "Oh this is gonna be AWESOME!" I thought joy running through me as I realized that I wouldn't have to worry about losing my baby sister for many many years to come. However my joy came to a quick halt as my laughter had brought everyone's attention back to me and Bella just seemed to realize that she was seeing me from a very different angle.

"First things first, Bells don't worry your fine. You're a shape-shifter like me and the guys here, although I have no idea how you are. All you have to do is calm down by thinking of something happy and you'll be in your human form however you'll be butt naked so you might want to find a place to hide when you try to change back. Here take my backpack you can use my clothes." I said, trying to calm Bella down as she was reeking of fear. She nodded showing that she understood before she started towards the forest, my backpack hanging from her muzzle.

Bella came out a few moments later and I was surprised at how little she had changed, she had only grown four inches at the most, however her skin was now a soft golden color and she was more filled in. "You look gorgeous!" I told her, Paul snarled as the rest of the guys agreed. I bit my lip to keep from laughing at Paul's possessiveness. Then a thought hit me and I gasped. "What are we going to tell Charlie?!" I said looking at Bella. Her eyes widened as well, however a coughing noise from Jacob's house caught our attentions. "I think you should just tell Charlie the truth, after all he has a right to know." Said an older Quileute guy who was in a wheelchair, out on the porch I guessed him to be Jacob's dad.

I tried to be respectful but I had to question him, "You think we should just tell Charlie that his adoptive daughter and birth daughter turn into giant wolves and they are life mated to guys who also turn into giant wolves and we exist to kill vampires who are sparkly people that suck the blood out of humans in order to live and have powers that go far beyond any human reach? Wouldn't that give him a heart-attack or a mental breakdown? Or make him think we've had a mental breakdown?" I said trying to understand why Jacob's dad thought it was a good idea. "You would be surprised at how receptive humans can be." Jacob's dad said. I shrugged my shoulders and turned to Bella, "Okay I'm game. How about you Bells?" I asked. Bella hesitated for a few seconds, "Well I would like to have a better understanding of myself before I tell Charlie anything." Bella said.

"Okay. Well I need to go talk to Charlie and let him know I'm back. I'll wait until you're ready to talk to him about any of this stuff though." I said before starting towards the woods. "Wait!" Three voices called out, causing me to glance over my shoulder. "What?" I asked wanting to get moving. "Are you okay?" Bella asked me staring into my eyes, trying to see if and what I was thinking. I smiled, "I'm fine B. I've just been gone for a long time and I want to go say hi to Charlie and maybe sleep in a bed for the first time in a long time." I replied. Bella wasn't completely convinced but she nodded accepting my answer, Jacob and Sam however were already on their way towards me. They hugged me and nuzzled my face planting kisses on my cheeks, "Be careful." Jacob said. "Come back soon." Sam added.

I brushed a kiss over both of their cheeks before pulling back, "I will." I said before turning and leaving. Halfway to Charlie's house everything slammed down on me at once and I grabbed onto a nearby tree for support as I tried to sort everything out. My feelings and emotions were overwhelming me, hate, fear, anger, peace, joy, pain and disgust were all fighting for first place. I dropped to the ground burying my head in my hands and rocking back and forth as I tried to calm myself down. I felt a scream building up in my throat and tried to keep it silenced by pressing my hands across my mouth, however that didn't stop it and I screamed. Loud and long over and over again before I finally felt myself calming down, as I became more aware of my surroundings I realized that I was smelling the entire wolf pack including my sister. Dazed I open my eyes trying to see if my nose was just playing a cruel joke on me or if they really were there.

My heavily lidded eyes met Bella's and I realized that my nose wasn't playing tricks on me Bella came forwards and wrapped her arms around me. For a second I didn't move then I leaned into her, shoving my face into her neck as I cried silent tears, my body shaking. I had repressed all of my emotions for so long that they were all now coming out in a tidal wave that I couldn't stop. I'm not sure how long we stayed like that until I was feeling a lot calmer and my emotions were all settled down so I pulled away from Bella however I kept my head down , then I dashed away from the group before changing into my wolf form. Immediately the rest of the group shifted into their wolf forms as well and questions were being thrown at me from all sides. All of them along the lines of 'are you okay?'

I decided to be blunt with the group after all we were now stuck with each other for the rest of our lives. "Don't say anything just watch okay? I'm going to show you guys the last five years of my life." I said, everyone quieted immediately and I laid down resting my head on my paws as I brought up my life starting five years ago, and ending with seeing Bella and Paul imprint on each other. I couldn't show them my breakdown, half of my reason was because of my embarrassment at breaking down, but the other half was because I hadn't been thinking I had been feeling and I didn't want them to feel the same way I had.

The whole group was silent after I finished sharing before, Sam decided to share his past, then Jacob and one by one everyone in the pack shared their past. There was a mental silence after Bella's share, she had shared last and the entire pack seemed much closer than before. Then I remembered, "Charlie!" I thought jumping to my feet I gave a mental goodbye to the pack as I raced through the woods until I came to the woods just outside of Charlie's house. I would have slapped myself in the head if I had hands when I realized that I had left the backpack back in the forest, I turned to get it when Bella, Paul, Sam and Jacob came walking up to me in their wolf forms, the backpack hanging from Bella's laughing mouth. "Oh quiet you!" I muttered mentally as I smiled and took the backpack before heading behind some brush to change.

TWO WEEKS LATER:

Bella and I had told Charlie the truth and he did accept it surprisingly easily and then he told us that he wasn't surprised because he himself had been a shape-shifter long ago, then he had met Renee and stopped shifting, and once you stop you can never shift again. When I told Charlie that I was imprints with Sam and Jacob he was surprised but he accepted it after he saw just how deep and true the imprint went on the three of us. When Bella told Charlie that she was a shape shifter he was so happy at the knowledge of her new and forevermore disgust at vampires that he promptly grabbed Sue, who had been visiting as part of the Quileute council and kissed her deeply. I snickered, Bella blushed and the guys were too shocked to move. When Charlie finally pulled himself away from Sue, I nudged Bella and she told him that she had imprinted on Paul, another shape-shifter. Charlie promptly fainted in horror as he had heard stories about Paul from a very misinformed bunch of people.

When Charlie woke up, he reluctantly accepted the fact that he was going to have three son-in-laws if and whenever we decided to get married. Winter was coming and I had gotten better at being inside of buildings however small buildings still presented a challenge for me but everyone was extremely supportive. And for the week after telling Charlie there was peace. Right now I was sitting on top of Billy and Jacob's house, Jacob and Sam were on patrol and Billy was out with Charlie who was happy that Jacob and Billy were going to be part of the Swan family after-all and had decided to go on a weeklong fishing trip with Billy to celebrate. I grinned at the memories as I watched the cloud's pass across the sky, I couldn't help but sing the song that came to mind as I thought of my past Christmas's and my future Christmas that was coming. (My Grown Up Christmas List by Kelly Clarkson).

Do you remember me?

I sat upon your knee

I wrote to you

With childhood fantasies

Well, I'm all grown up now

And still need help somehow

I'm not a child

But my heart still can dream

So here's my lifelong wish

My grown up Christmas list

Not for myself

But for a world in need

No more lives torn apart

That war's would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

As children we believed

The grandest sight to see

Was something lovely

Wrapped beneath our tree

But heaven only knows

That packages and bows

Can never heal

A hurting human soul

No more lives torn apart

That war's would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end

This is my grown up Christmas list

What is this illusion called the innocence of youth

Maybe only in our blind belief can we ever find the truth

No more lives torn apart

That war's would never start

And time would heal all hearts

And everyone would have a friend

And right would always win

And love would never end, oh

This is my grown up Christmas list

This is my only life-long wish

This is my grown up Christmas list.

As I finished singing I felt the air current shift and it brought a sickly scent to my nose, causing my eyes to snap open and my body to immediately shift in mid jump off the roof.

"What's wrong Enyo?" ~Sam

"I smell leech, I'm not sure how many but I'm following the scent." ~Enyo

"Where are you at?" ~ Jacob

"I'm a little over a hundred yards from your house Jake." ~ Enyo

"On our way! Be careful!" ~ Sam & Jacob

"I'll howl out the warning." ~ Enyo

The pack, as we called ourselves, had grown with two more shape-shifters Embry Call and Quil Ateara, both were good friends of Jacob and he was happy to be able to hang out with them now. When they had joined there had been a bit of a gap between the two of them and the rest of us, however I decided that group bonding was more important than my pride and I didn't hide my past from them. As a result they had shared their past and we had all bonded deeply, however because of everyone either having school or work we had created warning howls and barks just in case we couldn't reach each other my modern means. Everyone knew what the howls and barks meant and Jared's imprint Kim who was a nice girl that Jared had introduced to me and Bella the day after we told Charlie about us and Embry's imprint Emily who was still new to everything, were starting to learn the meanings as well.

I felt the rest of the pack joining in as fast as they could, Jacob and Sam almost right behind me as I continued chasing the scent before catching a glimpse of a fiery-red headed female about three hundred yards in-front of me. Immediately Jacob, Sam and myself split off into three directions, I was going to drive her in circles since I was the fastest and Sam and Jacob and the others who were on their ways would box her in. The plan almost worked however the red head played one last trump card and tossed her body off the cliff we had been boxing her into. I knew it was dangerous to go in after her, she didn't need to breath and my wolf form would make me a large target under-water. I came to a stop at the edge of the cliff, everyone else coming up behind me, Bella gave a gasp as I showed the image of the vampire.

"What is it Bells?" ~ Enyo

"I know her, that's Victoria. Her mate James was the tracker vampire that almost killed me." ~ Bella

"WHAT?!" ~ Everyone except Bella

"Why don't we all finish up and meet for a bonfire tonight so Bella can refresh our memories about this 'Victoria' leech." ~ Enyo

The pack muttered agreements and after we all bumped heads and properly greeted each other everyone but Bella, Paul, Jacob, Sam and myself left.

"I mean it guys, Sam, Jake you two still have a whole section to patrol, Paul you and Bella are skipping a class at your respective schools. Move out, we will meet up tonight." ~ Enyo

{ PRIVATE TALK BETWEEN ENYO, JACOB AND SAM WHO SINCE THEIR ALL ALPHAS CAN SHUT EVERYONE ELSE OUT AND TALK PRIVATLY}

"Are you okay babe?" ~Sam

"I'm fine, after all I have you two and the rest of the pack with me this time." ~Enyo

"Always!" ~Jacob & Sam

"You two better get patrolling, I'll call Emily and we can start baking for the bonfire tonight." ~Enyo

"Love you Enyo." ~Jacob & Sam

" I love you guys to. Be careful, just because she jumped doesn't mean she won't be back." ~Enyo

"We'll be careful." ~Jacob & Sam

{END PRIVATE CONVERSATION BETWEEN JACOB, SAM AND ENYO}

Everyone departed and I jogged towards Charlie's house, changing just inside the tree line and pulling on a pair of black sweatpants that were Sam's, and a blue T-shirt that was Jacobs before making my barefoot way to the house and jumping up to climb in through my window that I left un-latched at times because carrying a key was a bit difficult when I shifted and hiding one around the house wasn't very smart. I called Emily and she came over and we baked and talked, I told her about the house that I was having built for me in the Quileute Reservation. It was much farther back in the forest and away from everyone else, and since I was technically one of the tribe I was allowed to live on the territory. So far just the outside of the house had been completed, I was making by hand, it gave me something to do since I didn't have another live singing gig for several months in order to 'retain my mysterious air' as my manger put it. I didn't want to get another job and I had more than enough money so this project of mine was good for me. I was aiming for a three-story house, plus a large attic that I could use to paint and play my music in and a large basement for a game room. I also wanted to add a garage but that was kind of useless to me so I decided on making the house and completing it first before bothering with a garage.

Emily was trying to decide if she wanted to go to college and what field she would be interest in, we also talked about the pack and time passed quickly. Emily went home to get ready for the bonfire so after I finished packing the last desert up and just in time as I heard Bella's truck coming down the street. Bella burst in the door and flew upstairs to get changed while I began to load the food onto the back of the truck. Sam and Jacob came jogging out of the forest wearing a T-shirt with their shorts since the weather was colder now and we didn't want people questioning us too much. We finished loading the truck in record time and Jacob and Sam left to start getting the bonfire ready while I grabbed paper plates, forks, spoons, and lots of napkins. While I was waiting for Bella I decided to make some of my special homemade hot-chocolate to take along, the rest of the drinks were bottled so I didn't worry about plastic cups instead I grabbed a package of Styrofoam ones and put them in the truck as well. Bella was finally ready and came thundering down the stairs ready to go, which we did immediately I didn't bother to change out of my current outfit.

It was just the pack and imprints at the bonfire which was nice, we all talked and laughed and ate. Then Bella told us about Victoria and everything that had happened, "How did we miss that earlier?" I asked curious. I was referring to the time when we had shared our past's, "Probably because I didn't think of her as important so she didn't stand out in my head and therefore she didn't stand out in yours." Bella replied as she sat down on the sand beside me. There was silence for a minute before I remembered the hot chocolate, "Oh Emily, Kim I made some homemade hot-chocolate for you guys there's two containers of it in the truck, and there's a pack of Styrofoam cups right beside it." I said, turning my head slightly to look backwards towards the fire where they were sitting. Immediately I heard several feet rushing for the truck and laughed a little before leaning my head on to Bella's. "This is amazing!" Several voices exclaimed a moment later I laughed, "I guess I'll have to make it again sometime." I replied. There were several agreements and some more laughter among the pack.

Soon Paul came over and picked Bella up holding her against his body which she immediately snuggled into, as the talk around the bonfire flowed to a silent content stop I took a sip of my Peach Tea, soaking up the feelings of warmth and family and love. Jacob sat on my left and Sam sat on my right and all the couples within the pack were sitting next to each other. "Would you sing my favorite song?" Bella asked as she leaned her head against Paul's shoulder and looked over at me. I smiled a little at her request and wiggled my eyebrows causing her to blush slightly before tilting my head to look up at the night sky then I began to sing. (Martina McBride - My Valentine Lyrics)

If there were no words, no way to speak

I would still hear you

If there were no tears, no way to feel inside

I've still feel for you

And even if the sun refused to shine

Even if romance ran out of rhyme

You would still have my heart until the end of time

You're all I need my love, my valentine

All of my life

I have been waiting for all you give to me

You've opened my eyes

And shown me how to love unselfishly

I've dreamed of this a thousand times before

In my dreams I couldn't love you more

I will give you my heart until the end of time

You're all I need my love, my valentine

La da da da da

And even if the sun refused to shine

Even if romance ran out of rhyme

You would still have my heart until the end of time

'Cause all I need is you, my valentine

Oh, you're all I need my love, my valentine.

As I finished singing there was a silence and I felt both of my imprints tighten their holds on me I smiled as I saw all of the imprints were asleep including Bella. Paul gently lifted her up and took her to the truck I knew he was going to want to hold her the whole way back so I put a blanket on the back of the truck for him to sit on before I begin to gather everything up. Jared and Embry left to take their sleeping imprints home, Sam had to get up early for his job, even though it was a Friday night so I kissed him and shooed him off. In the end it was just Jacob, Quill and myself so after they helped me clean up I had told Jacob and Quill to have some fun before kissing Jacob and driving back to Charlie's house. Paul carried Bella back up to her room and I was just putting down the first batch of containers when the door to Charlie's house flew open and Tinkerbelle and Jasper stood there. Immediately I clenched a hand over my nose and tried to breathe through my mouth, "You are not welcome here now get out before I do something you're going to regret!" I snarled at them.

"Where's Bella?! What have you done to Bella you mutt!?" Alice hollered at me, daring to step over the threshold. Immediately I felt my fangs starting to grow as I growled just barely holding onto my human form at this point, when my growl was joined by two others causing Alice and Jasper to back up in surprise. "Don't you DARE talk to MY SISTER like that you LEECH!" Bella snarled at Alice baring her teeth in warning. Paul was by Bella's side and his body was already shaking I could tell the only reason he hadn't phased yet was because he was so close to Bella she would get hurt if he phased. "What Bella?! Get away from those two their unstable mutts it's very dangerous! Hurry up and come here! We'll protect you." Alice said holding out her arms to Bella as though Bella would run into them. Bella laughed and I couldn't contain my fanged grin, even Paul's shaking slowed down to an almost stop. "These two 'mutts' as you call them are my sister and my imprint and I am so much safer with them then I ever was with you and your family of BLOODSUCKERS." Bella said. I was so proud of my little sister, standing up and being the proud, confident woman that she was always suppose to be. Alice and Jasper were both very surprised and after a minute I felt a soft buzz in my head, "Trying to do something with our emotions Jasper?" I said raising an eyebrow at him. His eyes flickered in surprise as he glanced at Bella and Paul then at me. I smirked, "Aw darn! Don't you just hate it when the playing field is leveled?" I said my voice taking on a very dangerous tone at the end.

"What are you here for leeches I believe you said you were never coming back?" I said deciding that I may as well get information from them. They didn't say anything and I took a menacing step forward that was followed my Paul and Bella. "I thought Bella was dead, I couldn't see her anymore but now I realized it's just because of you mutts." I snickered, "You do realize Bella is one of us 'mutts'." I said, creating air quotations around the word 'mutts'. That seemed to stun both Jasper and Alice and they exchanged glances before I decided to give them a warning, "Listen leeches, don't bother us and never let us catch your scents in or near our house again, because the moment any of the above things happen our pack will decimate you." I said making sure they knew I was speaking the truth. "Let's go Alice." Jasper said pulling on his mates arm, the kitchen phone rang just then and since Bella was closest she answered it irritated.

"Hello… Bella? Is that you? This is Edward. What the?! Listen here sparkling cow droppings NEVER CALL THIS NUMBER AGAIN!" Was the conversation.

I almost burst into laughing as she said the nick-name I had given Edward. Alice and Jasper left right after that and I knew Paul wouldn't be leaving Bella and since Charlie wasn't home I saw no problems with them sleeping in the same room as long as they just slept. I asked them to help bring the rest of the containers in from the truck while I called Sam however he must have been sleeping so I left him a message. I tried the rest of the pack however no one was picking up so I went outside and shifted to see if anyone was still awake, there were no secrets in the pack and something like the leeches being back should be told as soon as possible.

I wasn't surprised to find Jacob and Quill in their wolf forms and I wasn't surprised by their immediate reactions of anger, they wanted to come over but I told them that I was fine as was Bella and that Paul would be staying the night to. I also asked them to let the others know if and when the others met them in either form, they agreed but I could tell Jacob was still on edge so I decided to meet up with him. I told Paul and Bella that I was heading out for the night and made sure they locked up after me before I headed into the woods and shifted. I ran and met up with Quill and Jacob and the three of us played around in wolf form until we got hungry again then we took down two doe's and after eating Quill went home to get some sleep and I tried to get Jacob to do the same. However he stubbornly refused so we ended up sleeping outside of his house in our wolf forms.

~ WHAT HAPPENS AFTERWARDS IS ALL WRITTEN DOWN BELOW ~

The Cullen's came back when Alice had a vision about Victoria and her army storming Forks. The pack and the Cullen's decided to fight together against Victoria and her army then the Cullen's were going to leave forks, however Victoria and her army had brought the Volturi to Forks Washington. The Volturi found out about the pack and because of Caius's hatred and fear of werewolves a.k.a Children of the Moon (although the pack is shape-shifters not werewolves) they decided to bring back more vampires and wipe out the pack. The Cullen's and the pack decided to work together to keep that from happening as Edward still claimed to have feelings for Bella. The Cullen's brought some of their vampire friends to stand against the Volturi, hoping that maybe it wouldn't come to a fight when Caius and Marcus and Aro were told that the pack was shape-shifters not Children of the Moon. However because of the many vampires that came more boys and girls shifted all in their early teenage years. This made the pack enlarge even more as it already had as Leah and Seth Clearwater, who phased after their dad died from a heart-attack and Brady Fuller and Collin Littlesea which phased two days before Victoria and her army came around. So when the Volturi finally came for Forks there were seven more male's and six more females which brought the packs number to a record 25 members. There was several surprising things learned about the pack, several of the members had gifts much like some vampires. Enyo found out that she could create and manipulate fire, Bella learned that she had a 'mental shield' which she could expand outward and make a physical shield as well. Leah could manipulate plant life, and several of the newest members had abilities which included, being able to shape-shift into any animal form, being able to communicate with and control any animal except wolves, being able to change the weather, being telepathic, having telekinesis, and the ability to turn invisible which if used while in wolf form turned everyone in wolf form invisible as well, and the ability to manipulate water and use it to heal. This helped the wolf pack and the Cullen's hold their own against the Volturi who's powers of manipulation were thwarted by Bella's shield and they had to admit that they had no reason to destroy the wolf pack or any who stood on the packs side. The Cullen's decided to leave Forks for a little while only visiting to make sure none of their 'friends' had been by their home. This allowed the pack to expand their borders which was a good thing since there were now too many shifters for the little bit of land the pack had had. Also the pack member that had the ability to use water to heal had healed Billy's diabetes which let him walk for the first time in years. He was happily courting one of the newest imprints, Sapphire Dawn's, mother Ema. And Charlie had started courting Sue Clearwater.

ONE YEAR AND SEVEN MONTHS AFTER THE VOLTURI's VISIT:

"Bella are you ready?" I hollered upstairs, Charlie, Sue and Billy Jacobs dad, as well as the pack and imprints whose numbers had increased, were having a get together at Sam, Jacobs and my house. Bella had stayed over in order to help me start getting the food ready but now she was upstairs supposedly getting herself spruced up for her mate. Sighing as Bella didn't answer I made sure that the stove was off before I ran up the stairs and followed Bella's scent to find her kneeling over the toilet in one of the guest bedrooms. "Bells?" I said, I was going to ask her if she feeling alright when my stomach turned and I joined her over the toilet. When I finished throwing up my guts I used some toilet paper to wipe my mouth before using some peppermint mouth rinse to get rid of the acid taste. I saw Bella give me a questioning look as she repeated my movements after flushing the toilet. "I'm pregnant, what's your reason?" I asked after I spit out the mouth rinse. Bella hurriedly spit out her mouthful of rinse. "You're pregnant! When were you going to tell me? How far along are you? And does Jacob and Sam know?" Bella asked her face lit up with excitement and curiosity as well as a little relief. "I found out for sure yesterday I was going to tell Jacob and Sam last night but they were on patrol with Savannah and Rama and I didn't want them to see any un-seeable images. I'm five weeks but I started suspecting when I was two weeks along. Now young lady since I know for a fact that you're not sick since we aren't easily susceptible to colds, are you pregnant to?" I asked.

Bella blushed and lowered her eyes, "I think so but I'm not positive and I don't want to say anything to Paul because I'm not sure and we haven't talked about pu-kids yet." Bella said. I smiled at her almost calling the baby a 'pup', "Well if you want to know for sure I can listen and see if I hear a heartbeat, although you'll have to be over four weeks for me to hear it." I said. Bella agreed immediately and I went down on one knee and pressed my ear to her stomach, sure enough there was a faint little fluttering sound. I kept my face expressionless as I stood up and faced Bella, "Well you are….pregnant. Congrats little sis! We'll both be momma's soon." I said, my face breaking out into a huge smile. Bella let out a little shriek of joy and we danced around the guestroom for a minute in happiness. "Well since our guys should be coming in first do you want to tell them right away?" I asked. "Yes!" Bella said, joy and nervousness lacing her scent. I grabbed her hands and turned her to face me, "He's going to be over the moon." I said, knowing without a doubt that I was right. Bella smiled and gave me a quick hug before she went downstairs to finish setting things up and I went to my bedroom and showered and changed into a pair of 'heartless' black shorts and an off the shoulder black shirt that had a white skull with purple, blue and white flowers around it, then I put in the pair of earrings Jacob had made for me and the necklace that Sam had made for me and I headed back downstairs.

Not four minutes after I had come down Sam, Jacob and Paul who had drove his motorcycle came through the door talking and laughing. I looked over at Bella and she nodded so I cleared my throat to get their attentions. "Guys Bella and I have something to tell you three." I said. Bella came over to me and grabbed my hand for support then we spoke in unison, "We're pregnant." There was extreme silence for all of a minute as our respective mate/s took in what we just said and then we were immediately surrounded by them, they were asking questions and acting like we had suddenly become fragile desert flowers. I rolled my eyes at their antics but smiled at their excitement before deciding I had enough of their worry so I grabbed my nearest mate and kissed him to quiet him before doing the same with my other mate, while Bella did the same with Paul. After there was a bit of silence I spoke up, "I'm fine, I'm five weeks along and so far I only throw up when I smell a certain scent. I have researched things out and figured that shifting won't do the baby any harm as long as I don't get to wild which is the same in my human form as well. I have no doubt it's the same with Bella."

Sam and Jacob had a silent conversation with their eyes then looked at me, "Can we tell the rest of the pack today?" I laughed a little, "Of course." I said. Bella and Paul seemed to be having a private discussion which ended with Paul happily belting out, "I'm going to be a dad!" Which caused the rest of us to laugh even as Bella blushed a bit, then we heard people begin to arrive, so Sam and Jacob ran upstairs to get showered and changed, while Paul helped Bella carry the meat out to the grill while I had the incoming imprints and pack members help carry out everything else. I left the desserts for last since the Peach Cobbler and Blueberry Pie were still cooling down, and everybody was talking and laughing. Charlie, Sue, Billy and Ema came in and I immediately sent them out to the grill, Charlie was good at burning food so Billy was in charge of the grill and Charlie was in charge of making sure no-one stole any of the meat before we were all ready.

Sam and Jacob came down and started mingling with everyone although every so often one or both of them came up to me and simply hugged me or gave me a kiss or just took in my scent. I didn't say anything about it since I figured it was just their wolf wanting to make sure their mate and pup(s) were okay. Soon most of the meat was done so Sam and Jacob got everyone's attention and proceeded to tell them that we were expecting a pup(s) within the next 8 months. Then Paul who could barely contain himself shouted out that he and Bella were expecting as well, Charlie's face went white for a few seconds before he accepted the fact that he was going to be a grandpa. However that wasn't all Leah announced that she and her imprint, Lin a tall and quiet Japanese American who had been here on business when he met Leah, were expecting as well. After the Congratulations died down and we all began to dig into our food I heard my cell-phone going off inside. I excused myself and hurried inside picking it up just before the last ring, "This is E." I said in a business like tone as the ringtone was the one I put for my manager. "Hey E. There's been a mix-up in the scheduling and you're needed for a live concert in two weeks at Tokyo for two days and another live concert in Rio in two months which will last for four days." My manger said.

I pinched the bridge of my nose Sam and Jacob were not going to like this. "Fine. Send me the place, date and time. However I expect you to keep to our agreement, after Rio there will be no live concerts for the next year." I said. "I remember after all I was there when the company signed the contract agreement four weeks ago." She said. I said goodbye and hung up, placing my cell-phone back on the charger before turning to go back to the gathering. I waited until everyone had left before I told Jacob and Sam about the two concerts, as I predicted they weren't happy however they knew I had to go so they agreed as long as one of them could go with me. I agreed but told them that with Jacob finishing his last year of High-School and Sam now a manager at his construction job they probably would have to send someone else with me. They weren't happy at that thought and they checked things out and decided that Jacob would go with me to Tokyo since he had high enough grades to miss a few days and Sam would have time to request off for the four days in Rio. And life moved on, soon I was eight months along with boy/girl twins, and Bella was almost eight months along with boy/girl twins while Leah was three days from her due date with girl/girl/boy triplets.

I did occasionally still get nightmares about that year and sometimes even about things that had happened earlier in my life however my mates were always there for me and I was doing a lot better. Life although not easy in the beginning was now at the best it could ever be and I couldn't be happier.
