I own nothing apart from Lorelai and the plot

Chapter Fifteen

I couldn't look away.

My eyes were all but glued to the small baby girl sleeping in the cot beside Lorry's bed. She was tiny, small tufts of dark hair smoothed on her head which I hoped would later become the light blond that her mother has. She was so tiny that she could fit in one of my hands; that's how tiny she was.

My eyes flicked up to Lorry, expecting to find her asleep especially after the painful day she had had previously yet I found her awake, smiling tiredly at me. Lorry had been smart to go to the hospital when she did as we soon found that the umbilical cord was wrapped around the baby's neck and, had she waited any longer, the baby wouldn't have made it. They had quickly gotten Lorry ready for surgery and done an emergency C-section.

I frowned as Lorry shifted so she was now sitting up, the effort it took her was evident on her face, "Don't look at me like that." She scolded me.

I smiled innocently at her, "Don't look at you like what?"

She eyed me for a moment before she looked to our sleeping girl, "She's so small." Lorry whispered.

"I know." I murmured, taking her hand. I knew she worried about her size, "She's healthy, Lorry." I reminded her gently.

"What are we going to call her?" She mused out loud, and looked at me, "We prepared for everything but her name."

I sat down on the edge of the bed, looking down at the baby, "What about Sarah?" I asked, smirking at her teasingly.

"I'm going to forget you said that." She said, glaring at me, "I like Leah."

"No." I said immediately, the name reminded me instantly of the Leah from the pack.

She sighed and continued to look at the baby, "I have no idea; there are so many nice names." She groaned. She thought for another moment before she brightened, "What about Reyna?" She suggested.

"Reyna." I said out loud testing the name and looking down at the baby. "Reyna it is." I said, looking up at Lorry with a smile.

A soft knock on the door caught our attention and Lee came in grinning madly, "Dude, I just met the hottest chick." He announced, "She's coming up here in a sec."

"Honestly Lee can't you go one day without hitting on someone?" Lorry asked rolling her eyes.

Lee smirked at her, "I can't help that I'm awesome." He said innocently. He jerked to the door when there was a confidant rap. He opened the door and grinned at the person on the other side who I assumed was the girl that he'd just met. "This is my mate Paul."

When he revealed the person behind it I froze, my eyes narrowing into a glare at the girl, "What the hell are you doing here Leah?" I all but snarled.

Lee froze and turned back to Leah, "Dear God please tell me she didn't imprint on me." Lee groaned immediately when he realised who Leah must be.

Leah looked at him shocked before turning to glare at me, "You can't keep me from my imprint Paul." She snapped.

Lee groaned again, "Please kill me now."

I ignored Lee despite the hilarity of the situation, "I can keep you away from mine though."

"Paul, we're not here because Sam ordered us." A new voice entered the conversation.

I tensed, looking to the door to find Jacob, Seth and Embry in the doorway. "Get the hell out of here now." I snarled.

Jacob held his hands up as though surrendering and looked behind me at Lorry, "Never would have thought you'd imprint." He said lightly.

"I never thought you'd stop stalking the vampire girl." I threw back, "Funny how things change."

"You're the one who left the pack Paul." Jacob retorted angrily, glaring at me.

I glared back, "You were all the ones that taunted me into a state where I couldn't think past anger."

Jacob fell silent and Leah used that opportunity to speak up, "Get over it, Paul." She snapped, "You stay the hell away from my imprint."

"Whoa there; no one starts telling me who the hell I can hang around with." Lee spoke up angrily, glaring at Leah, "Just because I know of the furry thing doesn't mean I'm going to let some strange wolf chick tell me what to do."

Leah looked at him pleadingly, "You don't understand..."

"...Imprinting? Of course I do. I've been mates with him for years; I know all about it." Lee said jerking his head over to where I was standing.

"Speaking of imprinting..." Jacob trailed off looking at Embry.

I looked at him confused before my eyes widened and I snarled at Embry, close to phasing for the first time since I first showed Lorry my wolf form. Embry was staring down at my daughter with awe splattered over his face. He had imprinted on my daughter.

"Get the hell out now." I snarled quietly, moving over to Reyna and picking her up gently.

"Paul." Lorry said warningly.

Embry glared at me, "You can't keep her from me; she's my imprint!" He exclaimed looking desperate. "Are you sure you're holding her right?"'

"Am I holding her right? Of course I am you idiot; now get out." I snapped, and looked down at her to calm myself.

"Everyone shut up now!" Lorry shouted.

Lorry P.O.V

I rubbed a hand to my head and looked at the scene in front of me; Paul was holding our daughter while glaring at the pack crowding the doorway. Lee had shifted so that he was closer to me and further away from Leah who was alternating between glaring at Paul and looking at Lee with awe and love. Embry was too busy to notice the tension in the room, staring at Reyna who was still in Paul's arms.

"Paul, pass me Reyna." I said quietly, well aware that I had everyone's attention.

Paul reluctantly handed her to me and stayed close to my side, eyeing the rest of the pack (mainly Embry). I sighed and looked down at Reyna, smiling softly as her face scrunched up as she had a dream. My eyes jerked up alarmed as there was a crashing; Embry had bolted forward at some point and had his arms stretched out as if to take Reyna from me. Paul had pushed him back and was all but growling at him.

"ENOUGH!" I shouted, not loud enough to wake Reyna but enough to get their attention.

Everyone froze and looked at me, "This is ridiculous! Paul, get over here now. You," I said, pointing at Embry, "Get the hell away from me and my daughter. I don't care if she's your imprint; I'm her mother and so help me if you come anywhere near her I will slice off your balls." I threatened. "I am extremely tired and sore and I've had enough of werewolves barging in. I almost miscarried because of the lot of you and I will not put up with this shit."

Paul frowned and went to lift up my hospital gown and looked at me pointedly when I slapped his hand away, "I'm checking your stitches; I don't want you having an infection." He said, going in to doctor mode.

I reluctantly let him and when he was satisfied he pulled the gown back down and kissed me. When he pulled away the pack was still there and I began to get frustrated, "Why the hell are you all still here?" I asked annoyed.

"That's my imprint." Leah and Embry said at the same time, only talking about different people.

I narrowed my eyes at them, "I don't give a shit who your imprint is. You get the hell out of here now before I get someone to."

Leah glared at me, "Don't think I'm going to listen to anything you say..."

"If you want anyone to convince Lee to accept that you've imprinted on him then you'll do exactly what I say." I cut in coolly.

Lee snickered despite the fact that we were talking about him, "Paul you should knock her up more often; she's awesome when she's cranky from giving birth."

"Lee shut the hell up or I swear to God everyone will see your fairy drawings." I threatened.

"You promised to keep them a secret!" He whined sounding like a child.

I gave him a look and he fell silent. Leah, I noticed, had moved to the entrance and was staring at Lee with a pained expression. I smiled at her reassuringly and then she was gone. I sighed and turned my attention to Embry who, at some point, had moved closer and was staring down at Reyna like he wanted to kidnap her.

I glared at him, "You get the hell out now. I don't care whether or not you imprinted on her; she's my daughter. I am well aware that you were one of the men that came to my house and all but held me there when I needed to go to hospital. You're not going to be coming anywhere near her. Now leave."

Embry looked at me dumbfounded, "You can't keep me from her." He argued weakly.

"Like hell I can't." I snapped, "Get out." When he didn't move I turned to Paul, "Can you get security or something?"

Embry sighed and left, Jacob following him after a final look at Paul.

A/N thanks for the reviews. Keep them coming!
