Sam's Point of View:
"I'm worried Paul. He still hasn't awoken." I said worried.
It had been three days since he took on his parents. I was beginning to worry that he wouldn't wake up.
"Don't worry Sam. He'll wake up. He's tough. We have all seen that." he said.
That's why I like Paul. He always says just enough. Never too little or too much, he always says what you need to hear. Now if he wasn't so temperamental he'd be perfect.
Worried still I sat on the edge of the bed. There was only one person who would know if something was wrong. Only one person we could trust with our secret. I got up and walked to the phone. I knew the number to where he worked. I quickly dialed it and waited for an answer.
"Forks Community Hopsital, this is Jenna speaking. How may I help you?" this friendly voice said over the phone.
"Yes, may I speak with Dr. Cullen. It's an emergency." I said.
"I will check if he's available for you. May I ask your name?"
"Sam Uley."
"I'll be right back."
The waiting music began to play, signaling that she put me on hold. A few minutes later I heard his voice over the phone.
"Yes Sam, how can I help you?" he said kindly.
Out of all the Cullen vampires I liked him the best. Mainly because of the strength I knew it took to do the job he does in his situation.
"It's about Crimson. I'm worried. He collapsed three days ago and hasn't awoken yet. I may just be getting paranoid but I would rather be that than something be wrong and I not know about it." I said.
"Is it okay if I come over? It would be easier for me to check him." he asked.
"I don't mind."
"Where are you by the way?"
"I'm in the biggest house in the area, get Bella, and follow my scent. She'll show you."
I know Crim didn't really like her but he needed a vampire friend. So he could learn how to be a true vampire.
After he hung up I went up to check on Crimson. I sat down beside him.
"Don't worry Crim... they'll be here soon." I said as I rubbed the back of my hand against his cheek.
After a thirty minutes I went outside to wait for the Dr. Culllen. I soon heard the sound of feet hitting the ground. As they got ever so closer I distinguished three sets of foot falls. They were here in seconds. Dr. Cullen had brought Bella, as I suggested he should, but he also brought Edward. I instantly put up barriers in my mind.
"Come in Dr. Cullen." I said walking towards the door.
"Please, we're all friendly here, call me Carlisle." he said.
I walked them all inside. The second they crossed the border into my home the tension rose.
"Everybody, they're here for Crim." I said.
"Sam! Why didn't you warn me beforehand. I would have cleaned the place up!" Seth whined.
He hated for people to think of him as a slob.
I just rolled my eyes seeing Paul do the same, earning him a slap on the arm from Seth, then began to walk upstairs. The Cullen's all followed me. We entered my room where I had laid Crim. Carlisle instantly walked over and began to examine him.
"What happened?" I heard a feminine voice ask.
I turned to Bella.
"Crim's parents called and said they wanted to meet with him at the border. So he asked me to follow, in my wolf form, so he could read their minds to detect any falsehood in their words. Long story short Crim discovered he could use other people's abilities. He used his father's ability, of manipulating people to his will, as well as his mother's ability to conjure fireballs. He even used both of them at the same time! It was actually quite impressive to be honest, but then he just collapsed, and he's been asleep ever since." I told her recalling the fight that went down that happened in the span of a few minutes.
"I've never heard of a vampire possessing an ability like that." Carlisle said.
"It definitely spooked us." I admitted.
"Well, he checks out just fine. What I am guessing that happened is that he used too much power at once and his body just couldn't keep up. He shouldn't have used both of their powers at the same time. He needs to train more before he can do something like that. Bella could probably show him. We recently discovered she's a shield. She can block out all mental vampire abilities. She can't block powers that effect her physically but mentally nothing can touch her. She's learning how to expand the shield, as well as project it on others." Carlise informed me.
"The gift will only get stronger as you age." I heard Edward say for the first time.
"Well there is a first time for everything." he said smirking.
God I hated that.
"All he needs Sam is time. He'll wake up." Edward said.
As if on cue Crim began to stir.
Crimson's Point of View:
Everything was black. My mind was acting as if the power had been shut off. I felt numb. Detached from my body. I tried to lift my arm, or where I thought it would be and I felt nothing. It scared me. I remained like this for a while, giving me time to think. I thought about my future as a vampire. I worried about what my parents might be planning. For all I know they could have planned this so they could come in and take me away. I had no idea what to do. I thought about everything. My life, the lies I had been told, the fun times I had regardless of finding out they were all a big lie. I then began to think about Sam. I knew I loved the man. He was the first to make me feel complete. Like he was the missing puzzle piece tying together everything in my life. I began to wonder if I wanted children. I knew enough about imprinting and werewolves from one of the times mother sat me down to speak to me. I knew that the submissive one, male or female, in an imprinting situation is able to carry children. The idea didn't bother me much to be honest. I had always wanted children and now I would be able to have them myself! The only thing that worried me is how I was going to birth them. Most likely they'd be surgically removed, but what doctor could I go to that wouldn't ask how in the hell a boy got pregnant. It didn't really matter though. As long as I had Sam, I could do anything.
After a few days I began to awake. I was immediately aware there was more than one person around me. I smelled three vampires. Did my parent's actually do it? Was I right about this being their plan? They made me pass out and took me away. I would never see Sam again! I then smelled a werewolf. I instantly recognized it as Sam's and calmed down. I slowly opened my eyes. I realized I was in Sam's room. The three vampires were talking to Sam. I recognized two of them. The third however I didn't really know.
"Why the hell are there vampires here?" I asked annoyed.
"Crim?" Sam half-yelled happily. "You're awake!"
I heard footsteps on the floor nearby and suddenly the room was full of werewolves.
"Crim are you okay?" Seth asked worried.
"Yeah, I am now." I said smiling.
I began to sit up.
"Carlisle suggested you train with Bella." Sam said.
I looked up at him slowly.
"Why?" was all I asked.
"So you can control your gift better." Bella answered.
I sighed. I knew I needed to forgive her.
"All right. I'll bite, but I won't like it..." I said.
"Thank you again, Carlisle." Sam said. "We'll all meet regularly at a point in between."
"Agreed." Carlisle said.
After a while everyone had left, leaving me with Sam. I had stayed in the bed because I was comfortable. Now though, I was in heaven. I was laying on top of Sam with my head over his heart. I decided to tell him what I wanted.
"Sam... there's something I want." I said.
"What is it Crimson?" he asked.
"I want children." I said bluntly.
Sam froze underneath me. I thought he was repulsed for a second.
"I thought you would never ask. I want children as well." he admitted rubbing his hands along my sides.
I crawled up so I was face to face with him. I leaned in close to his lips barely touching his with my own.
"Stop teasing me Crim..." he said.
I leaned in more kissing him passionately. I loved the way he tasted. I moved my hands down his chest, then down his abs toward the brim of his shirt. I pulled it up and off his body. I looked up at him smiling deviously before attaching myself to his neck. We didn't get any sleep at all that night.
Time Skip Three Months.
Things had been going quite normally. We had began meeting with the Cullen's every Saturday at a clearing that was halfway on our territory halfway on theirs. Bella had been training me to use my powers better and more efficiently. Everything had been going just fine. Today was different though. We were all out doing what we did every Saturday. Sam was playing football with Paul, Emmett, and Jasper. Bella and I were training. I kept hearing this faint thumping sound. After a while it began to drive me crazy.
"Someone please tell me I am not the only one hearing that!" I yelled.
Everyone stopped. The noise was more clear. Everyone began to look at me with wide eyes.
"Crim..." Bella began. "You have a heart beat."
"What?" I asked.
Sure enough the sound was a heart.
"No... it's not Crim..." Sam said.
He walked over to me.
"You're pregnant..." he said wide-eyed as he looked down at my stomach.
Everybody gasped and I promptly fainted. I woke up a few minutes later in Sam's truck and we were going somewhere I'd never been before. I didn't recognize anything that passed by my window.
"I'm pregnant?" I asked.
"Well unless your heart suddenly started working again." he said sarcastically. "We're going to the Cullen's house so he can check you out there. He wants to make sure."
We arrived there after an hour of driving. Their driveway was really long, but when we finally got to the house I was amazed. There were so many windows. We got out. I saw Bella standing around waiting for me.
I looked at Bella and I guess the look on my face portrayed the question.
"It's the one place where we can truly be ourselves. The one place we don't have to hide." she said.
We all entered and Dr. Carlisle led us upstairs into a room that must have been designed for these kind of things.
"We had this made so I could help Bella if she needed it again like she did before when she was clumsy. Now that she is practically indestructible we don't use it anymore. Now Crim, if you'd remove your shirt and lay down here I shall go get the equipment to run an ultrasound." Dr. Cullen said.
I did as he instructed and removed my shirt before laying down on the examination bed. They moved quickly here. Quicker than they were comfortable with outside of their home. I had Sam beside me for moral support. He squeezed my hand as they came in with the machine. Dr. Carlise walked over with this gel in his hand. He spread some of it on my stomach after they had the machine up and running. I looked at the screen as he placed the sound wave emitter on my belly. I couldn't make heads or tails of what I saw.
"If you look here..." he said pointing to the screen. "You can see the outline of three bodies."
"Three? Are you sure?" I asked.
"Quite sure actually. With your half human half vampire genes mixing with pure shifter genes, and with how big they are now my first estimate on when they will be born would be in 6 months."
"That long? From my backtracking it's been three months already." Sam said. "Is it because of our races?"
"I believe so. However, I don't have much to go on here so we will probably remove the babies through a c-section surgery."
I was so happy. I was pregnant with my own children.
"Children... children... I'm pregnant with children..." I said trying to wrap my mind around it.
"I'm going to be a father..." Sam said.
"Thanks Carlisle." I said.
"Crimson, there's someone I want you to meet." I heard Bella say.
She came in with this beautiful little girl.
"Did you adopt?" I asked.
"Nope. I had her while I was a human. I was pregnant for only like a month after you disappeared. Her name is Renesmee after my mother and Esme." she said.
The little girl looked to be around 5 years old. Then it struck me what she was.
"She's like me... a hybrid." I said.
"Yes she is." Edward said with a smile.
In all my life I never thought I'd see Edward smile.
"At least she'll have good parents." I said solemnly.
Bella looked sad for a moment.
"No, I didn't mean to make you feel bad Bells." I said using the nickname I heard her father use once, which stuck with me. "I meant I am glad she'll have parent's who'll accept her no matter who she loves."
Bella and Edward smiled slightly. Renesmee walked over to me. I looked up to Bella and she nodded her head so I remained still. Renesme touched my cheek and my vision went blank for a moment. I saw myself arriving from a different angle. I saw myself saying 'I'm pregnant with children.' and the look on my face was priceless. She removed her hand and my vision returned.
"That's amazing!" I said.
I remembered my gift so I reached down at her as well and touched her arm. Her eyes glazed over. I was showing her what she looked like to me when I first saw her. Her entire face lit up with glee.
"What did you do?" Bella asked.
"Same thing she did to me. I showed her, herself when she walked in here." I said.
I got tired of lying down so I stood. Sam had remained frozen this entire time. I waved my hand in front of his face.
"Yeah, I'm gonna leave him hear." I said knowing that would snap him out.
He looked at me with narrowed eyes momentarily.
"Go ahead, see if I care. I'll run home and still beat you there." he said smugly.
"Uhh, if I recall correctly it was I who won the race back from the clearing where you found me." I said smugly.
"Only cause I let you win..." he said pouting slightly.
I just laughed. I reached up to pat his head.
"There, there little one." I said teasing.
"You might not want to call me 'little one' here..." I cut him off.
"Not here Sam... there are children."
He just laughed.
"Look, we should go before he says something stupid." I said.
"Alright see you around Crim. Don't do too much manual labor. Trust me you'll regret it!" Bella said as we left.
The ride home was silent. Neither one of us wanting to break the peaceful silence. I must have fallen asleep again because the next thing I know is I feel Sam picking me up. Not wanting him to put me down I acted asleep.
"You're a terrible actor you know that right Crim." he said.
"Well there goes that career." I said sarcastically.
"If you wanted me to carry you all you had to do was ask."
"I'll keep that in mind then."
We walked into the house and he set me down. Seth was over in an instant.
"So, what's the news." he said and I saw everyone else looking at me with expectant eyes.
"I am pregnant with three children." I said.
"Oh my gosh!" Seth said bouncing up and down. "Children!"
"Congratulations." I heard Paul say and saw a small smile.
To be honest I wasn't the biggest fan of Paul and I'm pretty sure he wasn't my biggest fan either, but we had our moments. He really did have a soft side.
"Yay little kids!" I heard Embry say. "I love children, but Jakey says we should wait."
"I think I'm gonna go sleep you guys, I'm beat." I said as I began to walk towards mine and Sam's room.
"I'll be up in a bit Crim." Sam said.
"Don't take too long." I told him with a seductive wink.
Sam's Point of View:
"So, you're going to be a dad?" Jake said.
"Yeah, it's still strange, although I knew it would happen eventually." I said.
"Are you going to tell the council?" Paul asked.
"Yeah, they'll find out anyway."
"When are you going?" Seth asked.
"Tomorrow. They're pissed for me not bringing him in sooner no doubt. Well I need to go to bed. It's going to be rough tomorrow. I can just feel it."
I walked upstairs and into my room to find Crim sitting there waiting patiently.
"You heard, right?" I asked.
"Yeah. I just hope they don't hate me, or what's inside me now." he said solemnly.
"Well, I wouldn't care if they did. We'd just run away together."
He smiled slightly.
"Go to sleep Crim. It's been a long day." I said as I climbed into bed with him.
He snuggled into my chest as I wrapped my arms around his slender frame. He fit so perfectly. We both got some well deserved sleep that night.
Unknown Point of View:
Two pairs of glowing red eyes opened, narrowing at the sight of the werewolf and the half vampire cuddling.
"Disgusting..." One said, looking at the unusual couple. "The informants were correct, I see."
'I'll make sure I ring his pretty little throat for upsetting the council.' I thought to myself.
"Don't worry my sweet, we'll make sure they never see each other again." his deep voice said before laughing evilly.
The pair disappeared into the night, the only sign of them being the rustle of their dark, heavy cloaks.
