Authors Note: Do you ever feel like you don't know a person as well as you thought you did? I just got that feeling, even though I had shared the same experiences I still didn't know the pain my friend had until I read her blog and now I wish she would have told me. I might have been able to help her but maybe that was why she didn't tell me so she could learn from her it on her own. Anyways, I believe this story will end soon as well as the other. I hope to write new things. Maybe my own stories.

Caution: This story maybe horrible and have thousands of plot holes.

Isabel's POV:

I couldn't sleep tonight. The bed was cold and I was alone in a musty wolf-smelling room. I couldn't shake the feeling as if I were forgetting something. After John had shifted back, I felt anxious and worried as if something bad could happen. Nothing could. I couldn't shake one question from my mind. Why isn't Cole with me? Tossing and turning had only made me more frustrated with my insomnia so I forfeited and tiptoed quietly into the kitchen. Opening the cupboard door, I lifted a small glass and filled it with water. I stood silently in front of the window and took a sip from my cup when I heard the floor creak from behind me causing me to turn my body straight into a shirtless Cole.

"Ow. Sorry." I whispered to him in the dark but he didn't respond to my apology. He took the glass from my hands and set it into the sink. He put his hands on either sides of my body and looked at me. The moon light rested upon his face which was calm and emotionless. I could feel his breath graze my skin and raise goose bumps on my skin. He leaned in and kissed me on the lips softly but spoke the meaning he didn't know how to say. It erased my anxiety from moments before and the questions that ever reached my mind. I placed my hands onto his chest as he pulled my hips towards his warm body. I could feel his faint heart beat under my right hand. He continued to deepen the kiss as my arms found their way to his hair and I began to twist my fingers into it. Lifting me of my feet, he placed me on to the counter and kissed his way down to my neck causing me to let out a slight gasp. Just as he came back to my lips with a hungry kiss, we heard the floor creak again and found Luca rubbing one eye and holding her teddy bear in another. Cole lifted me and put me back onto the floor.

"What's wrong Luca?" He asked her diverting his attention away from me.

"I had a nightmare but I didn't want to wake up daddy." She said to Cole. Cole picked her up and put her on to the stool next to the island.

"Do you like chocolate chip cookies?" Cole asked which worried me because I had no idea where this was going.

"Yeah but normally I'm not allowed to have them this late at night." She said playing with her teddy bear.

"Ah, but this is a special occasion." Cole claimed.

"What's the occasion?" She asked tilting her head curiously.

"You are Miss Luca. We met you today so we are going to make Cole's Super Chocolate Chip Cookies with the help of Miss Isabel." He said looking at me. I shrugged and walked over to the fridge and grabbed the eggs.

"Where do we start?" I asked him.

Cole's POV:

Who knew making cookies for a seven year old little girl would make every nightmare go away. She had just dropped her cookie into her glass by accident when I finally noticed how great Isabel was with Luca. Isabel had already grabbed a spoon to rescue Luca's cookie by the time Luca looked up at us for help. I watched Isabel giggle as Luca smeared more chocolate on her face. I didn't know how many cookies seven year olds were allowed to have but I couldn't stop a little girl from her tenth when she had already had her ninth. And who knew on glass of milk and ten cookies could make her so tired; I was expecting the opposite effect. I watched as Isabel picked up the now groggy Luca from the chair and began to walk her to back to the guestroom. Following Isabel with Luca's teddy bear, I opened the bedroom door all the way to help Isabel lay her down and pull the sheets back over her. There was a blue night light in the corner of the room, I assumed it was Sam's when he was younger and then shut the door knowing Luca was asleep for the night. Isabel put her arms around my neck and leaned into kiss me.

"Where were we?" She whispered and then kissed me on the lips.

"Going to bed?" I said resting my hands back onto her hips.

"Oh right." She said letting her arms fall from their position. "When did we become parents?"

"When we kidnapped a wolf child." I said as she pulled me into the bedroom she was staying in.

"That's right and why did we do that?" She asked.

"Because sometimes… you are a nice person." I said smiling at her. Pulling back the covers and laying down in bed, I began to cuddle with Isabel.

"Ah! What is that?" I exclaimed when I felt something cold hit my leg. "Do you keep ice cubes in your bed?"

"No. Those were my toes and yes I am freezing." She said. I placed my arms around her and pulled her closer to my body.

"Then maybe you should get closer." I whispered into her ear which granted me a soft swat on the arm. I kissed the back of her neck softly and fell asleep to her heart beats.

Sam's POV:

"How are you feeling?" I asked seeing John at the table eating while resting his temple on his fist.

"Hungry. Confused. Exhausted." He said in an exhale. He put another fork full of eggs into his mouth. At some point, he had found sweatpants and was now just shirtless. You could see muscle built from being a wolf but also the starvation he suffered as well.

"When you see Luca as a wolf, do you know who she is?" I asked him as Grace handed me coffee and an omelet.

"I remember her name. I don't remember why she was with me. But I know that I am not supposed to hurt her at all. I know that she is mine. Why do you ask?" He said. His eyes were green just like Luca but he was pale and had blonde hair.

"It's not typical for people in wolf form to remember things like this. Only two other wolves are known to have this ability but neither of them has interacted with the person while one is human and the other is a wolf." I explained.

"Who are the other two?" He said laying down his fork.

"Well my adopted father Beck and… me." I said looking to Grace that was making tea in her red teapot. She met my eyes for a second but went back to the teapot knowing that we would talk about it later. "But none of these cases had we touched each other in the process. We knew who they were but not enough to function with as a wolf. But you let Luca pet you and you licked her hand."

"So am I the first to actually touch a human without harm as a wolf that you've heard of?" John asked.

"Not exactly. Grace use to touch me as a wolf but I didn't lick her or let her hug my neck like Luca did. What do you remember happening?" I asked.

"Luca and I used to climb up to Look Out Mountain every fall. Luca's mother left when she was five so it became part of our healing process. On our way up we discovered a large auburn colored wolf. It had injuries on it's legs and stomach. I was a vet but I had planned to stay away from it but Luca wanted me to help it. It lashed out and bit both of us, Luca first then me. I remember always staying next to Luca and guiding her through the woods but we became lost. I could tell we were coming up on summer but I didn't know we would phase back until Luca did. We were just on the outskirts of Mercy Falls when I ran into a dark gray wolf and saw the images of you." He said. "I could smell the wolf so I started towards it hoping I could get Luca into a safe place which led me to the male with brown hair." Before I could ask the next question, we were interrupted by a soft voice from the hallway.

"Daddy?" Luca said in baggy Red Sox t-shirt.
"Luca!" He said getting up, running over to her and wrapping her in a tight hug.

"I missed you Daddy." Luca said muffled into John shoulder.

"I miss you too Luc." He said rubbing the back of her head.

"Daddy, can you make me some pancakes?" She said pulling away from her father.

"Yes, I can." As he took Luca into the kitchen and sat her on the stool. Grace sat down at the table with her green mint tea and looked at me as she took a sip.

"What are you thinking about?" She said placing her cup back on to the table.

"I know that no one is ever going to replace Beck but what do you think would happen if I asked John to stay with us. I mean, think about it. It's not like he can go back to work, he would be gone too much. He's a vet. You can't work from home as a vet. Then he would be able to watch Luca and know that we can take care of her." I watched Grace think about it.

"I think that is a great idea and he can still work as a vet from home. He just has to get licensed technicians and have them run the place. He can work some parts of the year and go on long vacations on the others." She said taking another sip.

"You are a genius. Did you know that?" I asked her but she didn't respond. She just smiled at something over my shoulder causing me to turn in that direction. Cole had just walked out from the bedroom Isabel was staying in and smiling from ear to ear. Isabel followed him also happy and sat down at the table while Cole made it into the kitchen.

"Good night?" Grace asked Isabel in her teacup.

"It was a nice night." Isabel smiled at her reaching over for the magazine left on the table beside her.

"I think it is my time to leave." I said about to stand up but Isabel stopped me from leaving.

"It was nothing like that. We would have woken the house up if that was the case." Isabel said as Cole brought her a cup of coffee.

"We would have broken the bed." Cole said joining us at the table.

"Cole, this isn't twilight." Grace said to him but he responded by taking a large sip of coffee.

"So I have a proposition for you guys." I said grabbing their attention.

"What?" Cole said very concerned causing lines to form on his forehead.

"What if I asked John and Luca to move in with us?" I said expecting the worse.

"As long as he doesn't interfere with my bedroom festivities, I do not care." Cole said. Isabel looked at him confused but he didn't notice.

"I slept in the same bed with you last night and I don't even want to know what that means." Isabel turned to me, "I think it is a great idea but what about Luca?"

"What about Luca?"

"Well, when you shift from wolf back to human there are things on a boy that a seven-year old doesn't need to see. And seeing as Cole never wears any clothing, Luca is going to end up scarred for life and end up in a mental hospital." Isabel explained.

"What are you talking about? You and Grace LOVE seeing me naked all the time and that's why I never wear clothing." Cole responded.

"Drop dead Cole." Isabel said looking at him but Grace just took another sip of tea while she smiled at them.

"Man! I haven't heard that one in a while." Cole said but everyone ignored that comment.

"I think she will be okay. Isabel and I will be here so we will be able to buffer her from things." Grace said.

"I am not going to be her—." Isabel started but stopped when Grace raised her eyebrows at her.

"That may work." I said.

"As long as I get to help Luca decorate her room. I don't mind being used a censor." Isabel declared.

Grace's POV:

John and Luca moved in three weeks later. Luca was excited but John was worried as his co-workers didn't understand the sudden move. John was on his way to town council to apply for a building permit to create his very own veterinarian office in Mercy Falls. No other wolves were spotted or caught. The police were very wary about John and Luca but the town welcomed them with open arms. Rachel was prom queen and Robert Jempsen was king but they couldn't find him to give him his prize.

Cole had adapted to Luca very quickly, he stopped running around the house or 'trying to kill himself' as Isabel would say. Isabel had painted Luca's room sky blue while Sam made one hundred lime green paper cranes and hung them from the ceiling at different heights. Cole had managed to build Luca a desk where she could begin to learn from the new text books coming in next week, only hammering his thumb three times in the process. We discovered that Luca was a more boyish and didn't care for pink dresses. Isabel continued to be impressed at Cole's 'big brother' attitude and he became more impressed by her motherly nature. It only took Isabel and Cole six months to actually kiss each other in front of Sam and I. Trust me, when Luca yelled 'ew' in response she was right. I always knew one day they would admit they had feelings for each other, I just didn't expect it to take so long and neither did the rest of Mercy Falls.

Every night before Luca goes to bed; I sit her down and tell her the same thing.

Just because you change doesn't mean you heart will change. True love is real and exists no matter what changes you make.

I never thought Luca would be interested in Sam's and I's love story but she is. Too her, it's a fairy tale that seems possible and the only one appropriate to tell her. I know that Sam and I will grow old and have kids of our own but for now, we have Luca. She is the light in our darkest days no matter what.

I didn't think I was going to end this but I like the way I did. I know the end probably sucks but it is 2 am EST and I wanted to end it. If you want more, just say it and I can write another chapter. I'm sorry if this chapter sucks and you hate it. If it's really bad, I will rewrite it. I wanted to end one of my stories soon so I could write One-shots and other things. But this is the end of this one unless I decide to change it so thank you for reading this crazy story.

With Love,

Steph
