A/N:Okay so my first warning ever. This is a longer chapter and there are some seriously intense Lemons ahead. I scare myself sometimes. *wink*

Talking with Charlie had not been as horrible as I had expected. I thought there would have been yelling and copious amounts of 'young lady' thrown around. But Charlie had been calm and understanding. We had discussed my options for finishing school before the baby was born. I had enough credits as I was already taking some college courses as a junior, that I could graduate if I took an after-school elective to satisfy my physical education credit for next year. I had already looked into this before I had moved here, but I had wanted to take my time and enjoy being with my father. Now that I was tied to Paul and the reservation I had all the time in the world to spend with my dad. What I hadn't expected was my mother Renee. When Charlie suggested I call her that night I wasn't afraid of her reaction. After all who knew my situation better than she. Mom was only 18 when she had me and while yes she was married and a high school graduate, I had not been planned. Mom had always said I was the greatest thing to ever happen to her, but it had not been easy. Not that she would have it any other way. At least that is what she always told me. After she had stopped screaming and cursing Charlie for not keeping a good enough eye on me. I lost it. I went off calling her a hypocrite for telling me how cherished I was but this baby was going to ruin my life. I couldn't stand it. She had even threatened to bring me back to Florida. That was when my voice had gone cold and I said. "Under no circumstances am I leaving Paul. He and this child are my life now. If you even attempt to take me from him, I will use every available legal avenue to separate myself from you. Now I understand this has been a shock. And I hope that after you have had some time to reflect, you will see how absolutely horrible you have been. Goodnight Renee." As I hung up the phone my legs gave out and my father had rushed to catch me. We both sank to the kitchen floor. His arms around me as I burrowed into his chest wrapping my arms around his torso, sobbing. We stayed there for a while. Me crying into his chest as he rocked me back and forth whispering comfort into my ear. Things like "your mother will come around…she didn't realize what she was saying…she's never been good with surprises." Eventually the sobs stopped and my father carried me to bed. That night was a turning point for me and my father. He finally saw how vulnerable I could be and I finally realized how much I needed him.

I woke with a start. I had been having the most intense dream. Paul and I were in the woods surrounded by a ring of wildflowers. And Paul's face was between my legs doing unspeakable things to me. I could see off to the side standing within the circle a silver wolf. It was staring deep into my eyes. It growled and the sound waves wracked my body pulling forth an orgasm like I had never felt before. Then Paul had me on all fours his hands gripping my hips so tightly his knuckles were white. Finally, he came with a roar coaxing my own release from me as his teeth punctured the space between my neck and shoulder. It was so erotic I woke mid-orgasm. My panties were soaked. What the hell was that! I'll tell you one thing I fear the next time Paul growls at me. I may come on the spot.

"Bells? You up?" My dad asked knocking on my bedroom door.

"Yeah Dad, I'm up." I replied.

"I made breakfast kid. Come on down when you're ready. I need to talk to you." I went about my morning routine getting ready for the day. As I passed my bedroom window to get my clothes out of my closet I could have sworn I saw movement in the trees behind my house. I shook my head and told the spirits they could go fuck themselves. There was no way in hell I would ever be going into the woods to have sex. I made my way downstairs after a very cleansing shower. My hair pulled up into a wet messy bun. Dad took one look and said,

"It's already started."

"What?" I asked

"The messy bun. I swear once your mom found out she was pregnant I didn't see her hair down for a year."

"Well, what can I say? Growing a tiny human is exhausting. I don't have the energy to care about my hair let alone style it." Dad just laughed at me. While I scowled at him through breakfast. Finally when I had cleared my plate dad asked,

"Have you made an appointment to see a doctor yet?" I shook my head no. "Well, it's a good thing then I took the liberty of calling Sue Clearwater. You'll remember her she is Harry's wife. Leah and Seth's mom. She is the reservation's midwife. Don't worry…I know that look. She is also a licensed Nurse Practitioner. Just meet with her. I'm not saying she has to deliver the baby, but she can at least make sure nothing is wrong." I hadn't even considered that there might be something wrong and my heart dropped. "Bells?…Bella!…God damn it, breath!" Dad shook me I sucked in a breath. "Shit Bells, I didn't mean to freak you out. I am sure everything is fine. We just need to make sure." Wow, overreaction much? I thought to myself. My hormones must be all fucked up. First my crazy sex dream and now this irrational response to fear. "You okay now Bells?" Dad asked. I nodded and apologized for overreacting. "Ha! Get used to it kid. I don't think I slept the first to weeks you were home. I kept checking to see if you were still breathing."

"Thanks for the vote of confidence Dad!" I said sarcastically.

"I just speak the truth…besides every new parent goes through this stage. If you didn't, then I'd be worried. Anyway Sue said to stop down to the Res Clinic around one. She has a few patients in the morning but her afternoon is wide open. So you can spend as much time with her as you need."

"Dad we can't do that its a Saturday. Sue has a life. I won't take up her afternoon like that."

"Look Bella I get it, but I really don't think you should miss any more school than is absolutely necessary. Sue is one of my best friends and she is very excited to meet with you. You won't be putting her out. I promise."

"Okay, you're right. I really should try to miss as little school as possible. I do, however, want to stop by Paul's. I need to talk to him. I really think he should be there. I also would like you there as well. I want you two to meet. With Sue there hopefully, you'll both behave yourselves." Dad just scoffed and I could have sworn I heard him say "Not likely" under his breath. I just ignored it and said, "I am going to go see if I can track down Paul. I'll meet you at the clinic at one. Love you, dad."

"Love you too, baby." I stopped for a second as I closed the door behind me. I wasn't used to my dad calling me anything other than Bells of Kiddo. His voice seemed so melancholy. I couldn't help but wonder if he was trying to hold on to the idea of his little girl just a bit longer. I felt so cherished at that moment. I turned walked back through the door and gathered my father into the tightest hug I could manage. Then I left without a word.

I went to Paul's house first. Knocked a few times but no one answered. So I made my way down to Billy's. Jacob was walking to the garage as it came into view. I yelled out to him. He stopped, turned, and scowled at me.

"Just give him time."

"FUCKING SHIT! Billy, you scared the piss out of me." Billy chuckled replying,

"Sorry, Bella. I didn't mean to."

"What is that all about?" I asked motioning to the garage where Jacob could be heard slamming things about. Then I heard a rip and a crash and saw a russet brown wolf bound into the woods. "Well, I guess that explains it," I said sadly. My best friend was hurting and there was nothing I could do about it. "So Jacob phased last night?" I asked.

"Yes," Billy said somberly. "He hasn't taken the news about you and Paul very well. He feels like he's lost you."

"Wha…I…he...What!" I couldn't make a coherent thought.

"Bella please tell me that you are not so blind that you couldn't tell he had feelings for you."

"No, I knew that. But Billy we talked about this. I told him about Paul even before I knew about the baby. He seemed fine then."

"As a wolf, Jake's emotions are all over the place right now. He may have been fine then, but now he has a front row seat to the effects of imprinting. He understands now that he could lose you, as a lover, forever."

"He has lost me," I said with my head bowed. I didn't want to hurt him like this. Just then I heard one of the most sorrowful howls.

"Oh, Jake," Billy said. "He must have heard you."

"Billy I really need to find Paul. Do you know where he is?" I need to tell him before he hears it from Jacob.

"I'm right here." I jumped turning to see Paul jogging out of the woods with a shit eating grin on his face.

"You guys have got to stop sneaking up on me like that!" I said smacking him in the chest when he reached me. His very naked, very wet chest. My hand stayed of its own volition. Caressing the plains of his chest and shoulders.

"So you've decided? You accepted the imprint?"

"Yes…" Before I could say more Paul gathered me up into his arms kissing my socks off.

"Excuse us, Billy. I need to go and seal my imprint."

"What the hell is that supposed to mean?" I asked squirming in Paul's arms.

"It means Bella," Paul said his voice dropping an octave. "I am going to take you home and fuck the shit out of you."

"You did not just say that in front of Billy!" I screeched.

"You are mine now Bella and every one is going to know it." God. Fuck. His sex voice is going to be my undoing. Paul swiftly ran us to his house. Straight through the door, passed the living room and into his bedroom. Before my feet hit the ground Paul was attacking my face. And I was giving as good as I got. We fell into bed, our clothes ripped and torn from each other's bodies. I was sure I was going to have a few bruises from that alone.

"God I've missed these," Paul said as he worshiped my breasts. Sucking, licking, biting. Fuck, he was almost feral. I could see a yellow ring in his eyes. The contrast between the brownish-yellow ring and his natural obsidian orbs was mesmerizing. I could tell this was his wolf coming out to play. Paul growled against my chest as a hand snaked between my folds and I shattered. I couldn't help but remember the wolf from my dream as my orgasm ripped its way through my body. Paul smiled so wickedly at that. "I love how responsive you are. I made you come just by touching your breasts." I shook my head as I tried to recenter myself.

"It was the growl." Now, why the fuck did I tell him that. Paul's eyes closed as his smile widened. When they opened the yellow band was thicker.

"You like my wold baby?" Paul said as he positioned himself to enter me. "Because he loves you and he wants to take everything you have to offer him." I couldn't help my response.

"Take it…take it all. I'm yours." Paul slammed into me and I cried out. Paul moved so forcefully, but so gracefully as well. I could hear the headboard banging against the wall. My hands went to cup his ass as he moved against me. He snarled and grabbed my arms pinning them above my head. He adjusted his hold so his other hand could go to my clit and began rubbing hard fast circles against me. "Paul." I gasped. "Fuck…that feels so good."

"Shit Bella…Who do you belong to?" He said running his nose along the side of my face. I was lost in the moment. I couldn't respond

"Tell me!" He shouted his hand coming to grip my jaw forcing me to look into his eyes.

"You, Paul. I belong to you!" I loved dominate Paul. He set my body on fire.

"Fuck." Paul gasped as he pulled out of me. Flipping me over. He didn't even give me time to get up on my hands and knees before slamming back into my already ravaged core. He stilled for a moment. "Shit sorry Bella, I lost it for a second. Did I hurt you?" he asked as he pulled me to my knees.

"No," I said looking over my shoulder at him. "It felt good. I love it when you own me." I didn't recognize my own voice. I was not this person, but apparently here in this room with Paul, I was. Paul snarled as he began to move again.

"Need…mark…bite…mate." Paul was really growling now his words wouldn't have made sense to anyone else but I knew.

"Do it." I moaned. "Bite me. Make me yours…both of yours." Paul's teeth sank into the flesh at the juncture of my neck and shoulder and just like in the dream we both came. It was soul shattering. My whole body quaked as ripple after ripple of pleasure flooded my body. Paul's jerky, hard thrusts filled me with his essence. His tongue licked at the bite mark on my neck and we were one. We collapsed into the mattress. Our breathing ragged.

"As much as I want to just go to sleep in your arms right now. We have an appointment in an hour at one. And I for one am starving." Paul laughed as he pulled me in closer nuzzling my hair. "Go shower…I'll make lunch. Where is it we're going?" he asked throwing himself off of me. He landed with a thud on the mattress beside me.

"The clinic. Sue is going to give me and the baby a checkup." I said rolling to my side so I could look at him. "I think it's funny that you think I can walk after that." He smiled as he replied,

"Yeah…me too." I scoffed.

"Some almighty Spirit Warrior you are," I said playfully. Paul mockingly grabbed at his chest and said

"You wound me to the quick." My laughter filled the room. We both seemed to be breathing easier. "Come on. Lets shower together that way I can show you just how mighty I am." And show me he did. Paul made sweet love to me in the shower. It was slow and gentle and spoke of all the love and adoration we had for each other.

A/N: Wow that came out of nowhere. I am literally fanning myself right now.*blush*
