Chapter 20

Emmett POV

The bonfire following Sam's taking over the Olympia pack for Jacob was a lot like the others we had been to. Although, this time no one phased. We all relaxed except for the few wolves who rotated patrols. My only complaint was that Brady couldn't phase so that I could take a flying leap into the ocean.

He, Paul, and Jasper aka, the three stooges, were inseparable since coming back from the fight with Jared. I was with Paul, it was a little creepy that Jasper seem to already feel his imprint who wasn't even born yet. Talk about having to wait, holy fuck! No thanks. Jasper seemed shy but, nice enough. I was going to have work on his submissives tendencies though. He was trying but, the little things like walking behind us or giving up his seat for a dominant were driving me nuts. Even Embry didn't take this long to get used to Paul making the bed and washing dishes. But, Jasper never really knew any other way. James practically kidnapped him and then Jasper chose to go with Jared's pack thinking he would be a better alpha. Both alphas took the old traditions to the extremes treating their subs like dirt. Shaking Jasper of all he knew would be a long process. Apparently, the two alphas had long ago planned not only to challenge Jacob for his role of alpha of alphas but also, to take Brady's unborn child.

"Hey," Embry said shyly walking up to me and grabbing both of my hands in his. I leaned in and kissed him chastely. He'd spent most of the evening with his old friends who he wouldn't be seeing for quite sometime. We were leaving in the morning back to the mansion.

"Hey," I smiled back at him. He looked away down the beach at the others. It was still warm so, most of the pack was spread out away from the warmth of the fire. "Everything okay?" I asked him. Something seemed off with him.

"Yeah," he nodded but, still not looking at me. "I, um," he blew out a puff of air.

"Talk to me, what's going on?" I said more firmly gripping his chin between my finger and thumb to turn his head toward me. This wasn't like him, we talked about everything. We'd been together for only a short time but, we seemed to fit together perfectly. His mothering nature and compassion for everyone were things that I loved most about him. I held true to my vow to hear his angelic laughter every single day. "Did something happen?"

He shook his head. "Nothing's wrong Ems," he said. "I want to take you somewhere," he swung our entwined hands between us and smirking.

"Where?" I asked.

"You have to wait to see," he said and pulled us to the large suv we drove here in. He drove about an hour and a half with me begging to know the whole way and him threatening to turn around. We pulled into the bowling lanes in Port Angeles.

"Midnight bowling?" I asked.

"We never got the date you promised so, I thought, um maybe we could do it now," he said looking at the ground. I crooked a finger and lifted his chin for him to look at me.

"It's perfect," I placed a small kiss to his lips. "Come on," I grabbed his hand and we made our way inside. They had the entire place decked out in neon and lots of teenagers. We got our shoes and several plates of greasy food and sodas.

Being shapeshifters meant that we had to purposely mess things up. Our bodies were naturally athletic and it might be strange to see two kids both shoot three hundreds, three games in a row. We made up our own way of playing. One turn we had to roll a split the next a gutter ball and so on. My mate picked the perfect teasing date night. I watched him roll from behind trying to imagine him doing it naked the entire date. I also proved once again my talent for belching the alphabet. After the last frame, I celebrated my victory with a moonwalk down the alley. We were immediately booted from the building.

We walked to the park to check out the playground. We squeezed ourselves down the slide and made our way across the bars. We each took a swing and had a contest to see who could jump the furthest. Being a kid was something I tried to do everyday. Life is hard enough and we shouldn't wait for moments like that.

I hadn't ever been on a date. Paul and I didn't have that sort of relationship. I looked over at my mate who rolled on the ground laughing at my imitation of the old cronies back at the mansion. I loved seeing him like this, completely free of responsibilities and happy. I laid down next to him and pulled him to me.

"I love you, Ems," he said through his smile.

"I love you too, Ems," I told him. I pulled his face to mine and kissed him. His warm, tender lips moved slowly not deepening. It wasn't the usual frenzied, out-of-control, trying to rip off our clothes kind of kiss. It was much more like what our first kiss should have been.

"Emmett?" he said after he broke the kiss. He looked down at my chest and picked at my shirt.

"Yeah," I said lifting his eyes back up to mine. "You have something on your mind and it wasn't this date. What is going on?" I asked.

"I, um," he started. "I was thinking, that um, next time I go on heat that, um."

"We can wait, Em. I don't want you to,"

"No," he shook his head. "Emmett, I want start our family."

"You do?" my eyebrows lifted. "I mean, we have our whole lives, the rest of eternity if we wanted to live that long,"

"I don't want to go off to college or at least, not right now," he explained. "I could always go when the kids get older."

"Kids? Like, more than one," I asked. He smiled and nodded. Images of what I thought our children would look like ran through my head. He was a naturally caretaker, I was starting to understand why he wanted to start right away. "I would love nothing more but, are you sure?"

"Yeah," his grin grew larger. "And, I want lots, like six or seven."

"Nine is a baseball team," I pointed out. "Although, I've been researching and there aren't many 'Em' names."

"You aren't picking their names," he stated. "I have to go through all the labor, I get to pick the names."

"Oh, come on," I whined. "Paul won't let me either. Don't I get some rights as the father?"

"Yeah, um," he got up quickly and started walking backward. "Diaper duty," and he took off. I got up and chased him.

"Oh, hell no!" I yelled. We ran all the way to the car where I pinned him against the door with one leg between his. We both moaned when I rolled my hips against his. His arms wrapped around my back and my hands cradled his face. I playfully pecked his soft lips a few times and pulled my head back to look him in the face. He was almost glowing and I hadn't even put the bun in the oven yet.

"I waited so long for you," I told him brushing my thumbs along his cheekbones. "I would do it all again just for one day with you." his eyes welled up. "I love you so fucking much," I leaned into his neck where the mark I gave him told the world he was mine and took in his intoxicating scent before softly kissing it. His hands gripped the back of my shirt as I did and he whimpered my name.

"Emmett?" he said.

"Mmmmmm,"

"Paul is keeping everyone out of the house tonight," I pulled back to look at him. He bit his lip and nodded at me. I lifted away from him and opened his door shoving him inside. I raced around to the driver side and hopped in. I broke every speed law by almost double to get back to the house. That was the last time I rushed anything for the rest of the night.

My role as security continued when we returned to the mansion. Jacob and Paul both said that they didn't blame me for what happened with Jared. They were impressed with how I handled getting him back and told me that they would have gone in there without thinking. I still felt the guilt at times, especially around Brady. He told me that it happened so fast and there was no way I could have known.

I think if Paul were given the choice now, he would have turned down Jacob as role as beta. He and our alpha seemed to be spending endless time with the council trying to put in place the new rules about the roles of subs and doms. Some things were difficult because they were an instinctive part of our wolves but, we were also human and had to learn to keep our wolves under control. I was glad I didn't have to spend my days listening to the olds explain why things should stay the same.

But, Paul did seem to like that he was always home which meant he could keep an eye on his imprint. Brady was getting bigger and put me to shame when it came to his appetite. As the days went on, it seemed the more anxious all of the subs got spending more and more time with Brady. Toward the end, he was never without at least one of them and Jasper who was getting almost as protective as Paul.

I just came off night duty and climbed the stairway to my shared room with Embry. I hoped he wasn't stationed outside Brady's door (Paul drew the line saying the subs couldn't be in the room at night). I smiled before I opened our door hearing Marvin Gaye coming from inside.

Let's get it on, let's get it on

You know what I'm talkin' 'bout

Come on baby, let your love come out

If you believe in love

Let's get it on, let's get it on baby

This minute, oh yeah let's get it on

Please, let's get it on

I opened the door and saw the sexiest thing I could have imagined. The only light came from the flickering fireplace. A large blanket and several satin pillows lay in front of the hearth and in the center of it all was Embry, his skin golden in the fire light. He lay on his back with his feet on the floor and knees bent and his other hand wrapped around his cock. My wolf growled as I shut the door behind me.

"You're late so I started without you," he smirked. I tore at my clothing as I walked over to him. I laid down on him with my body between his legs.

"At least I made it before you finished," I kissed him deeply.

I rolled my hips our cocks dripping pre-cum as they slid together. My lips left his and trailed down his neck his hands gripping my ass trying to pull me closer. My wolf was coming to the surface wanting to mark it's mate. My mind was fogging when Embry pulled me away from his neck.

"Emmett!" he looked me dead in the eye. "Leah's at the door."

"Go away!" I yelled burying my face back into my lover's neck.

"It's important," she yelled back. I growled before standing up and walking to the door, my cock bouncing against my stomach.

"Is the fucking house on fire?" I said opening the door.

"No, but,"

"Then I don't care," I went to slam the door only for her to hold it open. "What!"

"Brady just went into labor," she smiled. I never saw my mate move so fast. He pulled on his shorts and pecked my lips before leaving me. I stared after my lover not believing he would leave this way. I looked at our she-wolf who glanced at my hard cock and winked before turning to follow.

"Well, fuck," I said to myself as I shut the door.
