A/N: I'm so sorry for the wait! Summer's a really busy time for me and I was out of town and just did not have time to write. This is kind of a fluffy/filler chapter, I didn't want every chapter to be constant never ending drama. I'm hoping to post my SethxOC imprint story soon, so look out for it! Review(:

Embry's POV

It took me a second to realize that last night actually happened and wasn't just a dream. Her tiny body was cuddled against me and her long blond hair was sprawled out over my chest and her shoulders. I watched the slight rise and fall of her chest as she slept and I ran my thumb gently over her skin. Her smooth skin felt so foreign under my finger tips and I couldn't help but smile at her. She forgave me just when I was starting to think she never would. I promised myself I'd never hurt or make her cry ever again. I wouldn't make her regret choosing me over Anthony and San Diego. I know what it's like to be without her and I wasn't going to do anything that would put me in that situation again. She stirred slightly and her big blue eyes opened slowly. She looked up at me and I was afraid that she'd grab her clothes and realize she made a mistake, that I wasn't a good enough reason to stay in La Push or that Anthony was what she actually wanted.

She didn't get up though, she just smiled at me before saying, "I missed you space heater."

I sighed in relief while wrapping my arm around her petite waist, she wasn't leaving.

She looked at me skeptically, "What..what's wrong Em?" she asked and worry filled her voice. Her thoughts seemed to mirror mine and she actually looked afraid that I was going to get up and walk out on her.

"Nothing Mel, nothing," I replied and kissed her cheek. She relaxed and settled back down into my arms. We laid there in silence for a couple minutes, kind of unsure of what to do next. I knew that Melody's forgiveness was just the beginning of fixing our broken relationship. I had to talk to Leah and she needed to talk to Anthony, but yet we just laid there.

"Don't you wish things could stay this simple? That we could just lay here and not have to deal with everything else," she said softly with her eyes fixed on my ceiling fan. She was right, I'd do about anything to keep things this simple with her forever. I knew she wasn't going to have to leave soon and go talk to Anthony. I didn't want her with him, ever. What if he changes her mind? What was I suppose to do while my imprint went to meet up with some vampire that nobody really knows alone? He could snap her in half, literally.

She looked at me confused, "Wanna tell me why your shaking?" she asked and instead of backing away from me like any normal person might do, she propped herself up and moved closer to me. I don't think she's honestly afraid of anything which has my anxiety level sky high always.

"I don't want him to hurt you," I said through gritted teeth at the thought of something taking her away from me when I just got her back.

"Who? Anthony?" she paused and shook her head, "He's not going to hurt me, I promise."

"You don't get it, vampires are a lot stronger then you might think."

I think about what almost happened to Bella with Jasper in her human years, but Melody wouldn't have anyone to save her like Edward did with Bella because she'd be alone. Melody might have more grace than Bella and it's unlikely that she'll fall and start bleeding everywhere, but it's not a risk I want to take.

She smiled brightly at me, obviously not concerned about this at all. "I promise I'll come back in one piece, with my heart beating and all,"

I can't help but wonder what changed her mind. She's beautiful girl and I couldn't think of one guy out there that wouldn't love to call her 'theirs'. She had the chance to live the city life she's desperately wanted to have. She could have had a completely new and improved life and for some reason she came back to me. I didn't deserve her.

"Why did you suddenly change your mind...at two thirty in the morning?" I said with a smile on my face. I could honestly careless what time she came, it was the last thing I was thinking about when I opened the door.

"Cause I'm stuck with you, remember?" she said mocking what I told her last night, "The first month after we broke up I went out every night with Brittany just to do something to get my mind off everything. I'd do just about anything not sit around and think about you. I even drove to Seattle and back one night just so I could be tired enough to fall asleep and not have to think about you. Then when I met Anthony a couple weeks ago, he helped me forgot about you and the baby and us. But after last night, I realized that no matter what happened with Leah, you'd always be there and I just got sick of pretending like I could get over this, get over you," she finished.

"I don't deserve you," I said bluntly.

I could see her heart break through her eyes after I said that. She didn't trust me and I could tell that because she was jumping to the conclusion that I didn't want her anymore and she had never done that before. I needed her to trust me again or at least know that I wasn't leaving her, ever.

She sat up and leaned against the back of my bed while looking down at her nails, "I love you Embry, don't make me regret doing this please," her voice cracked at the end and I winced at her heart broken voice.

I sat up and cupped her face in my hands, "I love you too and I won't."

She pressed her soft pink lips against mine. We needed a break from words for a little, definitely. Being with your imprint is the best feeling in the world and I forgot how it felt to be with her. To kiss her or touch just felt so unreal to me. I couldn't believe I actually survived being away from her for that long. I gently pushed her back down on the bed and just as we were about to go for round two of last night, the front door slammed open.

Perfect moment ruined by my brothers, like always.

Melody's eyes widen and she picked up the nearest pillow and hit me with it, "I told you to lock the door!" she shrieked and attempted to hide her tiny body under my sheets. She pulled up the sheet against her and moved behind me, not wanting my brothers to see her in just her bra and panties, once again.

Quil, Jacob and Seth barged in the bedroom. Quil was grinning like an idiot while Seth was holding Melody's little black dress that we "lost" in the living room last night.

Melody sighed from behind me and poked her head out from behind my back, "Hi guys." she said and I could see that she felt really akward being infront of them.

"ABOUT TIME!" Jacob hollered.

"Hey sis." Quil spoke simply from the door frame.

Melody and Quil have had this habit of calling each other brother and sister since as long as I remember knowing Melody. I'm sure if Melody wasn't a completely blue eyed and blond haired white girl, everyone would think they were actually brother and sister. All the of us wolves care about our brother's imprints, but Melody and Quil have always just gotten along better then anyone else. Quil's almost as protective as me when it comes to Melody which is why he wanted to kill me more then Seth and Sam combined when he found out about me and Leah.

"Now what is this we heard about you hanging out with vampires? You're a wolf girl Mel. Wolf girl," Quil dragged out the last two words and she smiled a little bit.

"Yeah Yeah, whatever Quil. Can I have my dress Seth?" she said sweetly with a smile on her face which caused Seth to blush as he handed her the tiny black dress.

"Why are you here?" I groaned. Whatever happened to knocking? Or calling?

"Meeting at Sam's, new wolf," Seth said with a smile on his face. We haven't had a new wolf phase since last year with Collin and Brady. I wondered who the unlucky kid was that just got his whole world flipped upside down. I knew it was my responsibility to the pack to go help the new wolf, but all I really wanted to do was spend time with Melody.

"Oh I should get get going anyways, I'll..uhm..call you later?" she said akwardly.

Don't leave.

"You can come too Mel. Kim's over there with Jared." Seth spoke up with his usual bright smile on his face.

She hesitated for a moment before nodding nervously.

Melody's POV

Emily's house used to be my second home. I spent almost every other night there during my senior year. I didn't get along with my foster parents or the two kids they already had, so the first chance I had to find something that at least resembled a family at all I jumped at it. They were the sisters and best friends I never had back home, but always wanted. I couldn't tell you how many nights we sat at Emily's table, just talking. We all had big plans to be bridesmaids in each other's wedding and stuff like that. I look back at the situation with Kim and Emily and realize they really never did anything wrong, I just didn't know how to handle the betrayal I felt from everything. Would they forgive me? I didn't know what the pack thought about me anymore either. I twirled a piece of my hair and looked out Embry's truck window as we made our way down the familiar road to Emily's. I felt like this was the first time I went to Emily's, I had no idea what to expect.

"Nervous?" Embry asked, taking his eyes off the road for a minute and looking at me.

I shrugged. "I don't know, should I be?" I asked honestly.

"No! Everyone misses you. Especially Claire, she asks about you like everyday."

I smiled a little knowing that someone missed me, even if it was a four year old girl, "So everyone knows about me and Anthony?" I asked but I was pretty sure I already had the answer. I wasn't embarrassed or ashamed by what I had with Anthony, but I was trying to get a small idea of what to expect.

He cringed at the words 'me and Anthony' put together before answering, "The guys know and well..you know how the imprint system works," he said with a small guilty smile.

I rolled my eyes playfully at me, "Yeah whatever, big mouth."

It felt good to be with him again, really good. I'm not sure if it's the imprint force that makes everything feel right when we're together or the fact that I've just missed him terribly for so long. Everything just felt perfect and I knew I should savior the moment because there were not going to many "perfect moments" like this for much longer. I loved Embry and I knew I taken the first and big step with forgiving him, but our relationship was far from what it use to be. I silently wondered if it would ever be the same way it use to be, I doubted it. I feel like he'll never be completely mine ever again, I'll always have to share him with Leah.

I started to let me mind wander into the thoughts that I really shouldn't have. Leah is always going to be there, what if he does it again? He'll always have a back up with Leah if he gets bored with me again. She'll always be there, forever, I can't every get rid of this fear. I was jealous, insecure, and scared all at once. I didn't want to have made the wrong choice, I didn't want him to hurt me again because honestly, I don't think I could go through that all over again.

"You won't do it again, right?" my voice sounded so small I barely could recognize it.

He looked at me skeptically before pulling into Emily's driveway and turning off his truck, "You think I'd do it again? Lose you? Break your heart all over again? Never. I know my promises don't mean that much to you anymore, but I promise I wouldn't do that to you... to us again."

I nodded and tried to push the thought of him and Leah out of my head. I had a feeling that thought would always be lingering in the back of my head though. I needed to remind myself that I made this choice. The choice to be with Embry meant that I had to accept that Leah was a part of his life. "Ready?" I said with a forced smile. We walked through the door and I didn't even have a second to brace myself before I felt a toddler cling to my leg.

"AUNT MELODY!" Claire's high pitch screamed scared me at first as she ran to my leg, "Oh, I missed you!" she squealed excitedly.

I smiled down at the cute little Indian girl that was clinging onto my leg for dear life. "I missed you too sweetheart."

I wasn't surprised that Claire's loud greeting attracted everyone from the kitchen to come into the living room. Jared, Kim, Paul, Brady, Collin, and Emily were staring at me like there was a bear in the living room. There was a really awkward silence before Jared broke it, "Hand it over Paul."

I looked at Jared and Paul confused and then Brady explained to me, "They made a bet on when you and Embry would get back together and Paul just lost twenty bucks." Kim's eyes widened as she hit Jared with her water bottle. Kim, Emily, and I have all learned the hard way that hitting one of the wolves with your bare hand will be much more painfully to you then them.

I shook my head and laughed, "Why I'm I not surprised?" I spoke up.

Emily and Kim were staring at me nervously and I instantly felt guilty for how I've acted around them. I hoped that me blaming them for not telling me about Embry and Leah wouldn't leave permanent damage on our friendship. I missed my sisters, the only girls I could really express my stress with the supernatural world with it. I promise myself I'd talk to them later when we weren't around everyone.

I look at the pack and realize how much I miss this insane, loud, and crazy family. I wouldn't find a family like this in San Diego, that was for sure. I have my doubts but I think I made the right choice, I'm almost positive I did.

Embry pulled me closer to him as everyone piled back into the kitchen. "I love you," he whispered softly into my ear.

"And I love you Em."

And I really hoped that was enough to keep us together.
