Thank you to everyone that review, be review do I know what direction everyone wants me to take this story, at this point I am not sure how long this is going to be.

Paul's POV

Now this was something I hated being alone, Skylar had gone back to Sam and Emily's so now I'm home alone wishing I had my imprint snuggled up safe in my arms. I knew she was safe with Sam, I trusted him to protect my imprint but it wasn't the same. I groaned as I sat up running my fingers through my hair, I still couldn't believe how much my life had changed in the last few days. My life had changed for the better there was no doubt about that and it was all because Serena and Skylar, no matter what happened I knew I could never live without either of my girls ever again.

I suddenly felt bad for making fun of the other guys when they imprinted. I sure will having it coming if they decide that Skylar has made me into a big old lap dog.

I looked down as my phone buzzed with a text from my Skylar.

"Can u come get me, I got into a fight with my mom and I just want to be with u now." I frowned down at the text, sure I didn't have a problem picking her up, but what did she have to fight about her in La Push. Had she told her mom about me and the baby? I could see someone having a problem with that. But it wasn't like Skylar was living with me right now, much to my disappointment.

"Sure B there in a min." I was out the door faster than I had ever been in my entire life. My imprint needed me, I sure wouldn't be taking my time getting to her.

The rain was falling steadily as I pulled my truck up Sam's driveway, I wanted to growl as I noticed Skylar sitting on the porch with yet head in her hand, tears clearly running down her face. I held back my growl as I jumped down from the truck. As soon as my feet touched the ground Skylar launched herself into my arms. The rain instantly soaking us both from head to toe.

"What happened Baby girl, why are you crying?" I asked as I pulled her tightly against my chest, my wolf was almost as upset as she was, someone had upset our imprint. He was ready to take out any threat to our imprint. I pushed him back as he didn't understand there was no physical threat to our mate.

"I called my mom and I told her that I had met someone, I told her about you and one thing turned into another and I told her about Serena and what her Mother did. Then I told her I couldn't see leaving La Push and you and that little girl." My heart swelled as I held her to my chest. my imprint wanted to stay with me, she wanted me even though that would mean being a mother to a child that was not hers.

"I take it your mother wasn't happy with that idea?" She smiled up at me as she blinked the tears out of her eyes.

"No, she said I was being foolish, she said that there was no way you could want to be in a real relationship with me after only knowing me for two days. I know that sounds Crazy Paul but its not like I could tell her the real reason why our relationship is different." I felt bad for her as her sobs began to slowly stop as she lay her head on my shoulder. I pulled her back on the porch and out of the rain as I held her tight.

"I know baby, but she will see in time that we are meant to be together, and that I will always take care of you." I smiled back at her as she lifted her head giving me a weak smile.

"I hope you are right, she said its just my hormones talking and that I will be begging her to come home in a few weeks. I know we never talked about us really being together, we haven't had the time. But I can't see myself being without you now, I love you. "I wanted to groan with happiness, if my wolf had his way we would be rolling around in the grass in pure joy. Of course I would probably be hiding in the woods for a week in embarrassment if I gave into my wolf in such a way.

"I'm glad you feel that way honey, because I don't want you to leave. I want you to stay here with me forever."

"Can we go home then, I just want to go to bed and snuggle with you." Calling me one happy guy would be an understatement.

"You got it honey, but won't Sam and Emily be upset if you leave with me tonight. I mean you did come here to to spend time with them." I pushed my wolf back as he growled at me.

"Emily herd my fight with mom, she told me to call you. Anyway I think she wants to spend some alone time with Sam, I guess he got hurt on Patrol today so she's babying him." That really caught my attention. Had I been so busy with Serena and Skylar that I didn't even realize something bad was happening with the pack?

"Is he okay? Why didn't anyone call me when he got hurt?" I stood from the porch looking down at her; I needed to stand away from her as my body began to shake.

"He's fine now, and he wasn't injured in any way you would normally expect. He got his leg snagged in a bear trap. His front leg was almost snapped off but he's healing okay.

I nodded feeling better that I hadn't missed a vampire emergency, If something had happened to Sam because I hadn't been there to help the pack, I would never been able to forgive myself.

"Okay let's go home then, I have to get up early and make sure the house is clean, Mrs. Andrews will be at the house around noon."

"Alright I will get up and help you." She said with a smile as she grabbed her already packed bag off the porch.

"You don't have to do that honey." I said as I grabbed her bag from her.

"I know I don't have to, but I want too I mean we are a team now right?"

"Right, but it might take me a little while to learn how to remember that, I haven't had anyone in my life that I can count on in a long time, well beside the pack." Skylar smirked as she slid into the truck beside me.

"We'll you better get used to having me because I'm not going anywhere."

Skylar's POV

I woke warm happy in Paul's arms. Life couldn't get better than this, well it would get better once we have Serena home with us and we were able to relax from the stress of dealing with CPS. I groaned as I rolled out of Paul's arms instantly feeling cold as I looked at the alarm clock.

"Shit, Paul wake up, the alarm didn't go off, Mrs. Andrews is going to be here in a hour. I almost laughed as I watched my handsome Wolf bolt out of bed falling flat on his ass.

"Shit, I wanted to be up and cleaning two hours ago." I smiled as I reached down taking his hand.

"Calm down sweetheart, everything will be fine, go get dressed and between the two of us we can finish cleaning the house in no time."

"Alright, I'll start working on the kitchen and living room. Will you finish folding Serena's clothes and putting them away?"

"No problem" for the next hour Paul and I worked double time cleaning his already clean house. By the time Mrs. Andrews knocked on the door Paul was a nervous wreck.

I sat on the sofa as Paul showed her around the house. I prayed that everything we had done was enough for us to bring Serene home. I looked up as Paul and Mrs. Andrews reentered the living room, Paul motioned for me to join them at the kitchen table. From the look on his face I couldn't tell if the visit was going bad or good. I reached over and took Paul's hand as I sat next to him.

"We'll I am quite pleased with the room you managed to put together for Serena in the little time you have had to prepare, also both of you have passed your security check." I let out a breath I didn't even realize I was holding. Not that I was expecting to fail my background check.

"So does that mean Serena can come home?" Paul asked looking like a desperate man in the sun waiting on water.

"Yes, I don't see a reason to keep her away from you."

"Thank you, how long till I can bring her home." I almost couldn't sit still with excitement, I loved babies.

"That will be for the hospital to determine now, once they believe any risk to her health has past they will release her into your care, I wouldn't imagine that it would be too long before you are able to take her home. I checked on her progress before I came here today and she was doing very well." I watched as Paul relaxed a little was obvious the amount of relief he was feeling.

I sat quietly as Paul finished up his paperwork with Mrs. Andrews, when she had finally gone Paul turned to me with the biggest smile plastered on his face.

"See hon, I told you things would work out." I smiled as he pulled me against his chest wrapping his arms tightly around me.

"I know you did, I was just stressed thinking that my past with my parents would keep me from getting custody of my daughter." Every Time Paul mentioned those people I became more and more angry that he had not been given the wonderful childhood he deserved.

"How many times do I have to tell you that it does not matter how your parents raised you? What matters is the kind of guy you turned into you big goof ball." I laughed as he buried his face in my hair.

"I know that, I am going to go outside and phase. I need to know everything is going okay with the pack. Then we will go see Serena, if that's alright with you?"

I didn't even bother answering his question I just crossed my arms over my chest and glared and the idiot. Would he really think I would have a problem seeing Serena?

"Okay, Okay I get the point sweetheart." Paul yelled over his shoulder as he walked out the door heading towards the woods.

"What I am going to do with you?" I laughed as he disappeared.

Paul's POV

Finally being able to phase again was just what I needed, it felt good to be on four paws again.

I stilled as my brothers frantic voices filled my head, with everyone yelling it was hard to understand what was being said. I shook my head trying to figure out what they were saying as I began running towards the pack I Finally I understood what was being said.

Seth had been attacked by a passing leach, and from the damages done too him no one knew if he was going to survive.
