Chapter 29: 7 Months

"I'm sorry…look Piper…it's just…I've been alone for a very long time…it's…it's hard to imaging. You are…my life Piper, and I struggle everyday with that. I use to hate my life being a werewolf and all, I don't want to doom anyone else with this curse…but I've never met anyone…I never thought I'd ever meet my mate" he said not looking at me his eyes shined silver for a split second then they went back to his blue green.

"I'm here Remus…you have to accept that 'cause I'm not leaving…so make up your damn mind already…I'm staying…but you still have to make the decision on if you are too…here get dressed" I said handing him his clothes I turned and walked out.

"Hey Piper I'm sorry about…what just happened" Paige said awkwardly as soon as I got to the bottom of the stairs.

"S'okay Paige" I said in a daze. Did he actually believe we were better apart?

"What's the matter?" Paige asked seeing the hurt, far away look in my eyes.

"…Remus just told me…he told me he thought it would be better if…if we didn't stay together…he didn't want to hurt me…" I said staring off into space wondering how he could say that, how he could mean it, and then just take it back.

"Wait what…a second ago you two couldn't keep your hands off each other…what happened?" she asked.

"I left him alone for a couple seconds while I went to get his clothes…I came back and I guess he was thinking about it…I freaked out…then he took it back…but how could he say what he said…and then just take it back?" I asked looking at her to see if somehow she had the answers.

"I don't know Piper…what did you tell him?" she asked.

"I told him…to make up his mind, I'm not leaving…but he has to decide of he's not too." I sighed.

"It'll be okay Piper, everything will work out like it always does" Paige said wrapping her arm around my shoulder I leaned my head onto her shoulder and sighed again.

"…it doesn't always work out the way I want it too though" I said remembering Leo.

"I'm not him Piper…I wont leave you" I heard Remus said from behind, I turned and looked at him he was in the clothes I picked smiling at me.

"I can't leave you Piper…I was just worried about you. I always get like that after the full moon… I almost made James and Sirius lock me in a cell to keep me away from everyone." He said looking me in the eyes.

"This is what you really want?" I asked not wanting him to change his mind again because then there would be no point in this.

"Yes Piper. I want you. Trust me I'm not going anywhere" he said and I smiled tears in my eyes I ran to him jumping into his arms giving him a very big passionate kiss.

I felt his muscles bulge under his shirt as he held me "Thank you" I whispered when we parted.

"Can we leave now?' Paige asked after we just continued to gaze into each others eyes.

"…yeah…" I smiled.

Paige left a few days later saying maybe she could get Phoebe to come next time.

I got right back into school, protecting harry, and getting to the good in Malfoy. Everyday I had at least a couple minutes with Remus…until some student would always come at the wrong time, either to ask Remus something or it was Harry, Hermione or Ron coming to call me for next class.

We hadn't…done anything…in a very long time and I was going crazy! I have tried to sneak away to his room a couple nights but either Luna or Carrie would wake up and ask me where I'm going (F.Y.I they're the two other roommates). If they didn't wake up there was always someone sitting down on the couches.

I missed him so much I truthfully couldn't wait till the next full moon then I could have him all to myself alone in the shrieking shack.

"Piper can you stay behind for a bit I have a few questions to ask about this essay" I heard him say and I looked up from my reading. My heart started pounding when I saw that look in his eyes I nodded.

The bell rang and everyone filed out. I got up and kissed Remus with every ounce of passion I could. I pulled back and looked into his eyes…which I noted were a filmy silver-ish color.

"…you eyes" I whispered keeping my arms around his neck and not putting anymore distance between us.

"The human never lets me out to play that much…they'll look better after a while" Remus said giving me a wolfish grin. I gasped and let go backing up quickly.

"Don't be afraid mate, you see I had to do this, the human is stupid. We can't live like this. He needs to connect with me it will make the transformations painless. We have a very limited amount of time here mate, and that's not because you have another class to go to…but Remus won't let me take control that long" he said crossing his arms with a very thoughtful look on his face…but I knew this wasn't my Remus.

"Who are you…why are you able to take control…I thought that was only when he turns" I asked.

"…well he is able to control me when I come out…that damn Snape, that potion weakens me stops me from connecting with him. It makes him in control of everything even when I'm out" he said a low growl escaping his throat.

"Trust me I've been working days on getting this chance" he said stepping forward slowly…I wasn't scared of him. He was my wolf I can actually talk to him get the answers to things Remus would never tell me….wait.

"…no…Remus…there is only one part of you…the human…the wolf…their all one…" I said not liking this…I've been with him for just about 2 months now…everything can't change…why now? 2 months and now this happens.

"He is very strong…he's kept me away from my mate for too long. It's weakening both him and me, I need to mark you 7 months…or we die" he said looking at me sadly.

"We need to make the connection" he added.

"Talk to him" he choked out then his eyes were back to the green blue.

"what did he say to you?" my Remus asked seeing the distressed look in my eyes as I stared at him wondering what the hell just happened.

"7 months…" I breathed.

Okay I have completely messed up the time line…so lets get I straight… now I didn't put much thought into the days, months things…I also didn't even think on what month schools actually do start in…okay so it is October…LOL now and in the story. The Paige's wedding on the Christmas holidays…okay does that set at least a few things straight? I don't have internet at my house anymore so I have to post on the very limited amount of free time I have at school….so bear with me. also I didn't really expect this to happen but I needed to do something suspenseful LOL anyways….hope this doesn't throw it off too much… :P :D

XOXO
