A/N: I know you guys must all hate me, but I'm really sorry that I haven't been updating. I thought summer would make it easier to update, but it made it so much harder. Since I'm back in school I should be posting a lot more. This was originally going to be in Melody's POV but you guys voted for Embry's, so here it is! Enjoy(:

Embry's POV

"Guess what Aunt Melody!?" Claire's high pitched voice filled Emily's tiny kitchen as the four year old came rushing in and sat herself on Melody's lap.

"Whats up, Claire?" Melody asked with a smile on her face as she hugged Claire tightly against her.

I watched as Claire cupped Melody's ear with her hands before whispering loudly 'Aunt Leah got fat!'. I looked over at Melody who was biting her lip adorably in an effort not to laugh. She was so perfect and I still couldn't believe she was mine again. This time yesterday I was complaining to anyone that would listen how pissed I was that no one put anything in the treaty about vampires kissing other wolves imprints. It's unbelievable what can happen in one day. I'm this fatherless asshole who is about to become a father, but somehow she still choose me. I was lucky, beyond fucking lucky.

"Claire bear, that's not very nice," Melody attempted to get out without smiling.

Claire shrugged, "I don't care. Aunt Leah is mean! She never plays with me like you and Kimmy do and she always calls Quil gay..whatever that means, for playing Candy land with me," Claire finished her ramble with a huff and neither Melody or I could contain our laughter any longer. Claire is the light of the pack and she is definitely the most outspoken four year old I have ever met. I can only hope that if I have a daughter, she won't be as nearly as opinionated as Claire.

Daughter.

It's such a weird word to think about it because in five short months I might actually have a daughter in this world. I never put too much thought into having kids. I knew it was something I wanted to do with Melody one day in the future, but we always just left it at that. Babies were suppose to be something in the far future for Melody and I, but not only was I becoming a dad way early than I had expected, but I wasn't even having my first child with Melody. It just wasn't right. We may not have done much planning in this area but it was not suppose to be like this. Not at all.

"Why'd you go away for so long Aunt Mel?" Claire asked sadly playing with Melody's long hair, "Everyone missed you..even..even Paul!" Claire exclaimed excitedly and I laughed before grabbing Melody's small hand that was underneath the table.

Everyone did miss her, not as much as me though. Melody has been a part of the pack since the day she moved to La Push. We're the closest thing she's ever had to a real family. When I first imprinted on her, we didn't get along at all. I was an ass to her the times I wasn't attempted to ignore her. She spent most of her time before we got together with Quil and Jacob, making a close friendship with Quil almost immediately. She lived next door to Brady when she lived with her adoptive parents, so she's known Collin and Brady before and after they phased. The pack, besides Leah, adores her.

"Me and Embry kind of got in a little fight," Melody said gently to Claire.

Explaining the truth of the situation was beyond confusing. It made no sense at all. Melody and I never really fought during our relashionship. La Push is a small reservation and everyone knew without a shadow of a doubt we were together, happily together. So explaining to the pack and my mother that I impregnated a girl that was not my lovely girlfriend of over a year was not an easy thing to do. The actuality of the situation was way over Claire's head.

Claire turned to me with such a glare that I think she could have scared a newborn vampire away with that look. "Don't fight with Aunt Melody anymore!" she yelled pointing her finger at me.

I laughed at the angry four year old that was staring daggers at me. "Alright Claire Bear, I promise I won't fight with her."

It was a promise I intended on keeping. Now that I had her back I wasn't going to do anything that would put me at risk for losing her again. I'd treat her like a fucking goddess if that's what she wanted. I never wanted her to regret in the slightest way choosing me over that stupid bloodsucker. I was going to make up for what I did, somehow.

"I mean it Embry! If you're mean to her..then..then I'm making Seth her boyfriend and not you!" Claire threatened with a triumph smile as Melody tried and failed to contain her laughter.

I guess my face gave away what I thought about that idea.

"Don't worry babe, I was never really into the whole jail bait thing," Melody whispered sweetly with her soft lips on my jaw. God, how I missed this.

"Yeah, you like your men old and cold," I smirked and she glared at me playfully.

"He's twenty one Embry, twenty one," she said dragging out the words with a smirk on her face. She leaned in and brushed her soft lips against mine. Her vanilla lip balm lingered on my lips as I deepened our kiss. It was just a

"EWW! This is gross!" Claire shouted while pulling Melody's hair to try and drag her away from my face. Why couldn't we get one uninterrupted moment?

We were about to leave when I smelled it. It as in Leah. It's that stupid ginger like smell that I've grown so uncomfortable use to. I should have grabbed Melody and ran out the back door with her. I didn't want to deal with this, not today, not when we were just starting to remember what it felt like to be normal again. I heard Emily's front door open and then slam shut and before I could even react Leah was standing in the kitchen.

"YOU HAVE TO BE KIDDING ME!? You can't seriously be doing this!"

At first I thought she was talking to me and I wished she would have been. I'd rather her take out her rage on me instead of Melody. Her eyes were directly on Melody though. I was terrified by the end of her rant Melody was going to realize how idiotic this was and buy the first ticket out of La Push and off to San Diego. Melody for the most part is a complete sweetheart. She gets along with pretty much everyone and I've learned that she has something in her personality that make it hard not to like her. She's a pacifist, with years of dealing with her mother's drunk and violent boyfriend. She avoids drama at all costs but I can tell by the look her face that she isn't going to let her opinions go unsaid today.

"Shut up Leah! You're going to scare Aunt Melody away!" Claire shouted before running over to Quil who had just entered the kitchen.

"He'll do it again, Melody. Maybe not with me, but he'll get bored with you again."

I could see the hurt forming behind her eyes as Leah's words cut into her. I hated myself for giving her those insecurities about herself. She was perfect and she had never did anything wrong. That night was a lack of common sense on my part, she wasn't lacking anything. Melody was a lot of things, but she was never boring.

"You don't know what you're talking about Leah," I snapped at her. Who did she think she was putting all the doubts back in Melody's head that I was trying to erase? That's the thing about Leah, she's bitter and wants to bring everyone down with her.

"Oh I think I know pretty well what I'm talking about," she said with a smirk on her lips as Melody continued glaring at her with such a glare that it topped off Claire's.

"Shut up Leah, no one here is interested in her hearing about your one night stand," Melody spat at her with some of her feistiness coming out.

"Why didn't you just stay with the fucking leech? He could have changed you and then none of us would have had to deal with you!" Leah shouted.

The thought of Melody ever being a vampire made my hands start to shake. Her beautiful blue eyes changing into a crimson red was a painful thing to think about for too long.

She scoffed, "Who said I ever wanted to be a vampire? And why didn't you just stay away from MY boyfriend that night?" she asked a little bit more loudly.

Leah was silent for a moment which was a huge rarity.

"This is the last time I'm going to have this conversation with you, Leah. I'm not going anywhere and neither are you, so get use to me," Melody said before grabbing her purse of the floor, "Let's go Em," she said grabbing my hand and pulling me through the front door before Leah could get another word.

"Stupid orphan bitch," Leah muttered.

Melody whipped her head around before yelling, "At Least I'm not alone!"

~*~
"You're pretty hot when your mad," I said honestly as she climbed into my truck.

"Funny, you never thought it was hot when I fought with you."

"Remember that one time you punched Katie Sheilds in the face because she said kissed me?" I laughed remembering the time that seemed like ages ago. We were so much younger and I can't help but wonder if we would have done just one thing different, if this still would have happened.

"I hated her," Melody said laughing while grabbing my hand and intertwined her tiny fingers with mine.

"Yeah, she was kind of crazy. Good thing you came around," I said with a smile as I looked down at her.

It's hard to remember what my life was like before Melody became apart of it. She's everything and it's hard to believe I went seventeen years not knowing who she was.

"Do you patrol tonight?" she asked

"Nope, I'm off till Monday,"

"Can I sleep over?" she asked so nervously it made my heart swell.

"You're so cute Mel, of course you can come over."

I turned on the road that led to my apartment and smiled at Melody while she was humming some song on the radio.

Melody was mine again.

Melody and Embry.

That stupid leech didn't get to hold her and kiss her anymore, I had her back. It was the best feeling I've felt in months.

We pulled into the parking lot and walked towards the apartment building. A few of my neighbors waved at her happily and probably wondered where she went for the last three months. She walked in and went straight into my bedroom. She grabbed a pair of my sweat pants out of the top drawer, obviously remembering where everything was, and threw them on quickly. She looked so adorable with my baggy sweat pants on that hung so lowly on her tiny waist. She laid down on my bed and I jumped in after her.

"I love you space heater," she said rolling closer to me and smiling.

"Love you too, blondie," I said as I got whacked with a pillow before I even finished the second symbol of 'blondie'.

It suddenly didn't matter to me anymore if we had to go through World War III everyday, as long as we I got to have this, everything was fine.
