Sam's POV

I woke feeling happy, Emily was snuggled into my side. I smiled when I relised the rain still fell in heavy sheets against the window. I stretched pulling my self out of bed. The baby had sleep well threw the night, once she warmed up you would have never known anything had happened to her. Not even blinking at the sleep loss Emily had lovingly feed her a bottle around 2am rocking the sweet little one back to sleep.I felt so content with my imprint in my arm's and the baby sleeping in her crib, the luck the spirits had blessed us with.

" Sam what wrong?" Emily asked rubbing the sleep from her eyes.

"Nothing, I was going to check on the baby." Emily smiled at me as she rolled out of bed looking at the clock " It's almost five A.M. she will probley need a bottle soon."

I nodded walking into the nursery, the baby slept, Emily came up behind me she wrap'd her arms around my waist as she watched the sleeping child.

"I wish we could keep her Sam, who ever threw her away does not deserve to have her back."

I turned around looking my imprint in the eye

" My love, I know you want this child, I will do everything in my power to make that happen."

Emily snuggled her face into my chest keeping her arms around me.

" I think the spirits sent her to us Sam, they knew she need us as much as we need her."

I nodded stepping out of the nursery letting the baby sleep.

" Come on, let's get a little more sleep before she wakes up."

I pulled her back into our room laying her down on the smiled sweetly at me as she positioned her self on top of the blankets.

" Sam, come join me, I need you."

My breath caught in my chest, as her eyes sparkled.

" Make love to me Sam."

I took a step towards my beautiful imprint, I stopped dead in my tracks when a small cry came from the next room.'

I laughed pulling Emily up from the bed.

"Sorry my love, but I think there is a hungry baby in the next we will have to take a rain check on that one"

I watched her walk away from me, a smile on her face my eyes following her every step. It wasn't long before the baby's cry's stopped. I Looked up as Emily walked into our room holding the baby snuggled in a blanket.

"It's okay she just had a wet diaper, Why don't you hold her while I go make her bottle. "

I took the baby from Emily, the baby was wide awake and bright eyed as I held her. She was so tiny, so innocent she was what Emily and I needed to complete our family.

The wolf growled in my head at the thought of this baby or any baby laying in some ditch left to die.

Emily walked in holding the bottle, she stopped as she saw how my body was shaking " What's wrong Sam?" She asked as gentally grabbing the baby back from me.

" My wolf is upset that someone was evil enough to abandon this baby, he hates the fact that someone would throw away there pup."

Emily only smiled up at me with patient knowing eyes

" Go for a run, We'll be fine till you get back."

I nodded kissing her on the cheek and the baby on the head. I made my way from the room as quickly as possible, I needed to phase and I was not about to do it anywhere near the baby. I couldn't hurt her, she had been hurt enough by other people, she didn't need to add me to the list. My bone's and joints stretched and pop'd as I phased.

The rain had nearly stopped witch worried me, soon child protective services would be here to take our baby. Our baby, when had I started thinking along those line. Deep down I knew it was not a good idea, but I couldn't help it that baby deserved to be loved and Emily and I were just the people for the job.

" Look who's in daddy mode." Paul laughed in my head as I turned my attention back to the forest instead of my thoughts.

" Shut up Paul, before I make you come over and change dirty diapers" I laughed as I felt his mental cringe.

" We searched all over the area were the baby was found, their was nothing to point us in the direction of the parents, any sents left behind were washed away by the rain" Jake growled as we ran threw the forest.I stopped as we came into a clearing, the rain had stopped, and the sun was beginning to poke it's ugly head out from behind the clouds as it raised into the sky.

No matter how fast I ran I knew I had to go back to the house and deal with the problem at hand. I felt Paul bump his head into my sholder.

"Stop thinking like that Sam, you never know what could happen."

I nodded turning towards the house." I Just do not want to see how hurt Emily is when the baby leaves, she so happy."

I phased pulling on my shorts before I exited the treeline,I was soon followed by Jake and Paul, No doubt they were hopping Emily would feed them.

It was no surprise'd to me as we entered the house that my beautiful imprint was hard at work cooking for a small army, or maybe just a hungry wolf pack.

I walked over to the living room were Emily had the baby strapped into some sort of baby contraction, I didn't know what it was all I know was. I reached down picking her up, bringing her into the kitchen with me.

Paul and Jake were snickering something about me being a sucker for a girl with green eyes. I just shook my head I knew I was a sucker, it didn't matter to me what anyone thought.

I smiled handing her over to Jake.

" I was not not kidding about handing out diaper duty."

Jake visibly paled, nice trick for someone as dark as him.

" Stop messing with those boys heads Sam." Emily laughed as Jake came over and kissed Emily on the cheek

" Emily to the rescue."

She laughed pushing him away. " Who said I was helping you, pick on Sam and i'll make you do the dishes." Jake shook his head walking away muttering something about being sucked into a trap.

Paul's POV

I sat on the sofa watching Sam hold the baby, she was a cute baby as far as baby's went. But for some reason I knew with all my heart I would protect that child no matter what.

" Paul you okay, or are you afraid the baby will bight, don't worry your safe she doesn't have any teeth yet." Sam laughed at me from the kitchen.

"Awww is the big baby wolf scared of a little girl, beware she may drool on you."

Jake laughed from the table.

" Shut up mutt boy." I growled walking over to Sam holding my arms out for the baby.

Sam looked suprized but handed her over to me anyway.

I walked the baby back over to the sofa, I looked down at her as I tucked her tighter against me. She looked up at me with those big green eyes and I was hooked, I now knew what I had been feeling all along. This little girl was my imprint. I would protect her with everything I was, no one would ever hurt her. I would die to protect her.

I looked up noticing everyone was starring at me. Sam now stood in front of me, had he said something? I was not sure.

" Paul, did you just imprint."

I opened my mouth to respond but a soft knock at the door cut me off.

SAM'S POV

I had a feeling I knew who was at the door before I opened it. Holding my breath I opened the door and allowed the lady from protective servies in.

Emily had stopped what she was doing in the kitchen. " So you must be Sam" She asked me holding her hand out to me.

" Yes" I nodded taking her hand. Paul stepped up handing the baby to me, I closed my arm's tighter around the baby."

" My name is Lynn Smith, I spoke to your wife on the phone." I nodded

Lynn looked at the baby in my arm's " well someone look's like a happy baby." She asked reaching for the baby. I closed my eyes for a moment then handed her over.

I watched as the lady began to place to place the baby into a car seat she had brought in.

" What will happen to her now." I asked

she stopped her task to look up at me " She'll go to the hospital for now, for a check over, then to a foster home."

At that Emily dropped the bowl she had been using, everyone jumped as she ran into our room crying.

" I'm sorry, My wife loves that baby all ready, she wants one of her own but that's just not possible." Lynn nodded as she finished strapping the little one in. The baby looked up with a confused look. I could no longer hold back my tears as she started to cry.

" She's in good hand." Lynn said as she left with the baby and a part of our hearts.

Emily did not leave our room for the rest of the day, I left her alone, I felt like again I was the cause of her pain. I had brought the baby into our home the one thing she wanted more then life, and now it was gone. Paul was laying on the sofa pretending to watch a foot ball game, But I knew better then that. He had just watched is Imprint be taken away. His heart was just as broken as our's were.

I had to do something, I Had to get out baby back, Yes even though the child was no longer here I still saw that baby as mine and Emily's, our daughter. Grabbing my keys I looked over at Paul.

" I'm taking off for a bit, will you stay in case Emily wakes. " Paul nodded as I walked out the the door getting into my truck.

The drive to Forks was longer then I ever remembered it being. The sun had melted off all the ice from the roads, leaving them covered in slush. I slowed as I pulled the truck into the parking lot at the Human services building.

The building was not very busy, no one waited in line in front of the receptionist. " Is Tanya Harris in" I asked as the Receptionist she looked up at me then picked up her phone. " I'm sorry sir what your name?"

"Sam Uley" I waited as she turned back to her phone.

" She says to go on back." I thanked the woman then headed back to Tanya's office. My wolf was on edge he wanted the baby back as much as Emily and I little one was his pup, he had decided he was going to get his pup back. At this time I was not sure if the wolf even understood that the baby was not his.

" Sam, you must had E.S.P, I was just picking up the phone to call you.

she held out her hand to me as I sat down. " So tell me, how did the your time with the baby go."

I sied looking down at the floor. " It was wonderful, we were so happy with that little girl, it broke Emily's heart when she left, broke mine as well."

Tanya sat back in her chair watching my expression, " Is that what bring's you in today?"

I nodded looking up at her" The CPS worker said she would go into foster care. Emily and I are all ready approved to foster."

Tanya pulled out our file going over it's contents. She said nothing as picked up her phone. I waited as she talked to another woman who I could only guess to be the CPS worker. I Did my best to hear everything they said, I sat back in my chair as Tanya hung up the phone.

" I am told by the hospital that the baby is in good health, Lynn also told me she has no placement yet for the baby. I agreed with her that it would be best for the child to be returned to you and Emily." I smiled almost falling over in my chair.

" Now I have some paper work to go over with you and Emily, I can have the papers up at the hospital by three, why don't you go home and tell Emily you have a child to pick up." I smiled standing up shaking her hand again " Thank you so much"

I thanked the spirits for such good luck as I walked out and back to my truck.
