Recap: "No…Dad…don't go…please…don't leave." Dekan whispered, looking like she was about to cry again. Jasper looked to Embry, who nodded. Jasper sat on the small chair beside the bed and took Dekan's hand in his.
……
..
Jasper's phone rang again half an hour later. This time it was Alice on the other line.
"Jazzy…come home. I can't see your future and it's freaking me out." Alice said, her voice sounding small.
"I'll be home in a few minutes…I just want to make sure our girl is okay." Jasper whispered so softly that only Alice could hear and possibly Embry. Dekan had fallen asleep about twenty minutes ago and he didn't want to wake her.
"Okay. I love you." Alice said, hanging up.
"I love you." Jasper whispered, snapping his phone shut quietly.
Jasper looked to where Dekan was curled into Embry's side, snoozing peacefully. Jasper mouthed the words "I'll call later" and Embry nodded while Jasper slipped out of the house quietly and ran back to where his family was waiting for him. Embry pulled Dekan closer, wrapping his arms around her. Dekan awoke just as Jasper left, looking around.
"Where'd Dad go?" Dekan asked, her voice scratchy.
"Alice called. He'll be back later." Embry said.
Dekan stretched against Embry, some of her bones making that popping sound. She flopped back on the bed, smiling.
"Have a good nap?" Embry asked.
"Yeah, I had a good pillow and heating pad combo." Dekan said, looking up at him.
"Well that's what I'm here for. You know that and knocking you up." Embry said, laughing.
"Oh ha ha, Mr. Super Sperm." Dekan replied, smirking.
"You know it, baby." Embry said.
"You're telling me." Dekan said, sitting up and straddling Embry.
"Well hello there." Embry said, his hands going to Dekan's hips. "Are you sure you're up for it?"
"I'm up for it and I'm pretty sure I can get you up for it. What's the worst that can happen? Are you going to knock me up again?" Dekan said, smiling innocently as she moved her hips back and forth over Embry's lap.
Embry groaned, a deep sound vibrating out of his massive chest. He grabbed harder a hold of Dekan's hips, pulling her down while he pushed his hips up. Dekan's eyes closed as she moaned, biting her lip.
"See what you started now…" Embry said, his hard on straining against his cut-offs.
"Mmmhmm, and very glad I did. I've missed you." Dekan said, looking down at him and licking her lips.
"Oh really now? How much?" Embry asked, smiling.
"Let me show you how much…" Dekan said, sitting up and pulling her shirt over her head and tossing it to the floor.
Embry growled very softly as Dekan reached behind her and unsnapped her bra, slowly dragging it down and making a show out of teasing him. Embry licked his lips and finally grabbed her bra and tossing it across the room somewhere and he moved Dekan's hands, his mouth latching onto her nipple as his hand toyed with the other, each being brought to hard peaks. Dekan moaned, her eyes fluttering closed as she leaned down, kissing and biting and licking Embry's neck in turn, making him groan. As Embry pulled back, his hands traveled to Dekan's pants, unbuttoning her jeans and holding her up with one hand easily so he could slide her pants off. He laid Dekan on her back on the bed as he rose up. Dekan's hands immediately unsnapped the button on his cut-offs, sliding them slowly down, her hand brushing over his hard-on. Embry's eyes closed and his body shook slightly. Dekan bit her lip, pulling his pants all the way down. She loved how Embry went commando. One less article of clothing to remove later. Dekan looked up at Embry, her eyes wide. Embry was huge all over. Dekan ran her hands up and down his chest, feeling pure strength in his bunched up muscles. Embry was watching Dekan study him and he smiled softly.
"I believe you're still too overdressed." Embry whispered, glancing down at Dekan.
Dekan smiled sweetly before raising her hips, allowing Embry to slide her panties off and toss them across the room as well. Embry sat on his knees, scooting down the bed down to Dekan's feet. Dekan raised an eyebrow and sat up but fell back on the bed when Embry picked up each leg and kissed from her ankles to her knees. Embry then rained kisses over her thighs, ghosting over where she really wanted him.
"Emmmmbryyy! Mean…" Dekan whimpered.
"Hmm? Why mean?" Embry said, glancing up at Dekan before moving back up her body, kissing her hips and up her tummy.
"Mean to me…" Dekan pouted, about ready to explode.
"Oh, you want this?" Embry asked, rubbing his erection against Dekan, making her moan outloud.
Embry couldn't hold back anymore. He thrusted inside Dekan, stopping when she clenched her muscles and grabbed a hold of his arms, her nails digging in. Dekan arched her back, not expecting Embry to quit teasing her and finally give her what she wanted. Embry hissed in pleasure as Dekan's nails dug into his arm, stilling so her body could get used to his size. Dekan looked up to Embry, her arms wrapping around to his back and nodded, signaling for him to continue. Embry pulled out slightly, easing back in and groaning at how perfect everything felt. Dekan was here, making love with him. 'It could so easily be one of the last times…' his mind interrupted, making him still inside of Dekan. His face fell.
"Embry? Are you okay?" Dekan asked, seeing Embry's sad face.
"They're going to take you away from me…" Embry whispered, pulling Dekan over as he rolled over on his back. He pulled her down so every possible part of their body could be touching.
"We'll run away if we have to." Dekan whispered back, kissing Embry's chest.
……
..
Jasper ran back quickly, being met by Alice waiting on the porch. She ran up to him, wrapping her arms around him.
"You smell like a wet dog." Alice said, holding on tightly to Jasper.
"You smell good." Jasper said, burying his face into Alice's neck, picking her up and taking her inside.
Carlisle was inside, sitting in the living room looking through some old books. He had a few open and spread out on the new coffee table. Jasper set Alice down, seeing Edward, Esme, Rosalie, and Emmett walk into the room.
"I'm sorry for breaking your table, Esme. And Emmett…sorry about the whole throwing you through the wall. Edward…I'm sorry about throwing you on the coffee table. And my beautiful Alice…" Jasper said, picking up her hands and kissing them. "I'm sorry for throwing you on the couch."
"It's okay Jasper. We understand that you were upset." Esme said, coming to give Jasper a hug.
"Don't worry about it." Emmett said, putting his arms around Rosalie.
"Yeah, it's fine. I would have done that same thing if it were Bella." Edward said.
"Her mom's going to take her from us. I don't know what we can do that won't have the police on our tails. I could take her to the Denali coven, but I don't trust everyone up there to not turn her into a midnight snack." Jasper said, sitting on the couch with a sigh.
"Jasper…do you think it would be okay if I went to the Quileute reservation to talk to someone? On completely peaceful terms and it'll be on Dekan's behalf." Carlisle asked, looking over at Jasper.
"I can ask Sam. Hold on." Jasper said, taking out his phone and dialing Sam's number. Sam picked up at about six rings.
"What?" Sam said, opening the phone.
"Carlisle needs to talk to someone on the Quileute rez. It's peaceful and it's for Dekan. Can you arrange it?" Jasper asked.
"Well seeing as how you already broke the treaty, I'd say it'd be okay. Just him though." Sam said.
"Okay. Thanks." Jasper said, snapping the phone shut.
"Only you can go, Carlisle. We'll stay here." Jasper said, pulling Alice to sit in his lap.
Carlisle stood up, taking all of the books back to his office down the hall before kissing Esme and getting in his car, driving to La Push. He was met at the border by Sam and Jake.
"Who did you want to talk to?" Sam asked, crossing his arms as Carlisle rolled his window down.
"Quil Ateara senior." Carlisle said. "I have an idea."
"I'll go get him." Jake said, running off towards Quil's house.
……
..
Embry just held Dekan close to him, peppering kisses on her face and shoulders. If they wanted to take Dekan from him, they were going to have to pry her from his arms. If anyone besides one of the Cullens or a member from the pack didn't attempt it, they'd have no luck. His arms were a steel cage holding Dekan gently. Morning came too early for Embry's liking; the morning sun filtering through the window and rousing Dekan.
"Were you serious?" Embry asked, feeling Dekan wake up.
"About what?" Dekan asked, rubbing her eyes.
"Running away with me so we can be together." Embry said, looking at Dekan.
"Yes." Dekan said. "Why?"
"Because that's what we're going to do." Embry said, raising up and pulling Dekan with him.
They got dressed in silence, Dekan putting her clothes back on plus a large hoodie of Embry's. She slipped it over her head, inhaling the scent and smiling. Embry walked back into the bedroom, taking Dekan's hand and handing her some granola bars and walking outside. It was still quite early, not many people would be awake. He would pick Dekan up and run with her when they had escaped the public eye of La Push. He thought about telling Sam where they were going, but Sam would probably try to order Embry to let Dekan's mother take her. Embry wasn't going to take that chance. Embry, holding Dekan's hand, headed for the entrance to the La Push reservation when he saw a strange shiny black sedan sitting in Old Quil's driveway.
"That's Carlisle's car, isn't it?" Dekan asked, looking over at Embry who shrugged.
"I don't know. I wonder why he'd be at Quil's." Embry said, narrowing his eyes.
Just as Embry and Dekan were walking past Old Quil's house, Sam stepped out.
"Embry, Dekan…come in here." Sam said.
"We can't. Sorry." Embry said, pulling Dekan away from the house.
"Embry. Now, please." Sam said, walking towards them.
"You're not going to take her away from me!" Embry shouted, pulling Dekan in his arms.
"I know I'm not. I'm trying to help you. Now get your collective asses in here before I drag you both in here myself." Sam said, turning around and walking back inside the house.
"I trust Sam…let's go inside. Just for a few minutes. If it's not good then we can leave." Dekan said, tugging Embry's hand.
……
..
"It can't be that easy, can it?" Embry asked, looking from Quil Sr. to Carlisle.
"It is. I am the council leader, I can sanction marriages if I see fit. I can see you both love each other, and it is not right for such love to be separated." Old Quil replied, closing his eyes.
"Although you know that Alice will insist on have you a big wedding, right?" Carlisle said, chuckling.
"Alice can plan the biggest wedding she wants as long as I get to stay with Embry." Dekan said, smiling over at Embry.
"Let's do this. Wait…I don't have a ring for you!" Embry said, freaking out a bit.
"I didn't figure you would. Use these." Carlisle said, hanging Jasper two rings.
"I can't take these, Dr. Cullen…" Embry said, staring at the silver band and silver diamond ring in his hand.
"Consider it a wedding gift. Dekan staying here means the world to Jasper. It's worth anything to see him happy like this." Carlisle said.
"Aww, Carlisle..." Dekan said, looking at the ring then throwing her arms around him, hugging him.
"You're welcome, sweetie." Carlisle said.
"Shall we begin, then?" Old Quil asked. Embry and Dekan nodded.
As Old Quil began talking and singing in the Quileute language, Embry and Dekan held hands. After a few minutes, Old Quil stood, walking to his fireplace and scooping up some soot in his hand and walking back over to Embry and Dekan. He sang softly as he dipped his finger in some water, mixing it with the black soot and painting the Quileute symbol for marriage on Quil's face and arms, as well as on Dekan's face and arms. They were to leave this on for one day and one night, showing each member of the reservation that they were wed. They then exchanged rings, both fitting perfectly. Dekan looked down and the beautiful silver band with a large princess cut diamond in the center flanked by two smaller princess cut diamonds. Embry's ring was a plain silver brushed band .
"You may…kiss your wife." Old Quil said in English clapping his hands and shouting happily when Embry kissed Dekan. Both Sam and Jake joined in on the shouting and clapping.
"If anyone wants to argue this, they may come to me." Old Quil said, sitting back down in his chair.
"You've got all three of us as witnesses too." Sam said, meaning him, Jake, and Carlisle.
"Thank you, Mr. Ateara." Dekan said, going over to hug him.
"It is my pleasure." Old Quil said, shaking Embry's hand as well.
