Hey Guys,

So this chapter sets up for the rest of the story and a possible sequel. I hope you like is shorter than the rest but it needed to be.

Typo apologies. Pictures on profile.

I just want you all to know there are some sexual scenes in this. Not very sexual. Mildly. As in it's mentioned but, you know it had to be done.

Don't forget about the poll on my profile.

I realized I'd even started writing in my own name Tala with two l's because I was writing Tally so much. What a doof I am. Anyways...

Disclaimer: If I was SM twilight would be about the werewolves.

Since the bonfire had been on the beach, and much to Sam and Emily's displeasure, I headed back to Paul's. When we got there everyone else was asleep so we just headed straight up to his room. I pulled out my new pj's and threw them at him. They'd been in my backpack the whole time. He looked rather confused until he realized what they were.

"Pyjamas?" He asked suspiciously.

"Yes."

"You actually brought some?" It was almost as if he couldn't believe it.

I showed a wide grin and nodded emphatically. Well, he was moaning about it so much what did he expect? He rolled his eyes.

"Let me see then."

"Turn around then."

He sighed at me dramatically and turned round.

I quickly got into my pj's because, well, I just don't trust Paul that much not to peek.

"Okay." I said.

He turned round and saw me in the really short girl boxer bottoms and the Mickey Mouse t-shirt.

"Nice." He said looking me up and down and licking his lips.

I almost giggled at how Sam would take that when he saw it in his head. Paul hadn't got his top on as usual so he just pulled off his jeans and kicked off his shoes.

I sat down on the bed waiting for him. He came over and picked me up, sat down and put me on his lap.

"Was that necessary?" I asked.

"Well I like you on my lap." He said.

I rolled my eyes, he kissed me on the lips. "Tired?" he asked.

I sighed and said, "Not really." rolling off of him so I was on the bed properly. He smiled at me.

There was a weak knock on the door. We looked at each other before Paul called for whoever it was to come in. It, strangely enough, was Kim and Jared.

"What do you want?" Asked Paul rolling over to cover me more in front of Jared.

I rolled my eyes, "They're only legs Paul."

He glared at me. Kim smirked before she handed me a box, "We just wanted to give you this."

"What is it?"

"Something I saw that I thought you would like. Let's call it a late birthday present." Kim said.

I raised my eyebrows before sitting with my back to the wall and peeked in the box. My eyes widened.

"Kim you did not get this for me?" I said, going a little red.

"Well I think it's about time…"

"O-kay." I said drawing it into two syllables. "I so have to stop telling you things." I said shutting the box lid as Paul tried to peek.

"What? What did she get you?" Asked Jared and Paul.

"Why don't you tell them what you got for me from you AND Jared hum?" I asked.

"Nope, they'll find out when you put it too use." She said before pulling Jared out of the door. "Night."

I couldn't believe it. She'd gotten me some lacy rose patterned Victoria Secret red bra and thong set. I'd kill her. The sad thing was, I knew how much Paul would love them so I'd so use them. Even though my fucking self esteem is like rock bottom on this sort of thing. It wouldn't be too bad but everyone else, Embry, Jared, Jacob, Leah, Seth and oh my god Sam would see it. I think I'd die the next day.

"What is it?" Paul asked trying to grab the box off of me.

"Paul don't you dare. You'll see it later."

"Promise?"

Oh shit. Why doesn't he trust me? Why do I have to promise this? Why can't I just lie to Paul?

"Promise."

He smiled and kissed me. It was Paul's eighteenth birthday tomorrow. I should so do it now because I hadn't got him a present yet. Right, I decided if I was going to do it anytime I would do it now.

"Paul. Give us one minute." I said. Before I got up and left the room.

'Oh my god.' I thought. 'I so cannot believe I'm doing this.'

I got into the bathroom and locked the door before I stripped off and put on the new underwear which was weirdly very comfortable. Then I pulled back on my pj's over the top to go down the hall in. I got to his door opened it and slipped in. He was watching South Park so he didn't turn round, probably expecting me to go and slide into his arms myself, but that was a good thing because it gave me time to slip out of my pj's.

'Okay Tally', I said building myself up. 'It's now or never.' I bit my lip as my eyes quickly flicked to my pj's. No I was doing this.

"Paul."

"Yeah?" He said tearing his eyes off the television and turning round.

When he actually saw me his eyes went wide. I looked down trying not to feel self conscious but I couldn't help it. My eyes kept flicking to his face. I hadn't thought about the fact he might not want to have sex with me. In which case this would be very embarrassing. Oh god. I hoped so hard for the teenage hormones to play in my favour. I looked at his face again. He was still running his eyes quickly up and down my figure. He licked his lips and ran his eyes back down my figure more slowly, then up to my face. I smiled at him a little self consciously.

"Tally…I…wow."

I walked over to his bed and sat on the edge. "What do you think?" I asked.

"Did wow not cover it?"

I smiled again and kissed him on the lips. He rolled over pulling me with him so I was underneath him. His heat was keeping me plenty warm. I bit my lip. He looked down at me. I looked up at him before flicking my eyes back down.

"You're self conscious." He said running his hand lightly down the side of my face.

"Just a little." I replied still looking down.

"Don't be." He said kissing me slowly. "You're perfect."

I smiled at him and put my arms around his neck. He leaned forward and kissed me running his hands down my smooth skin and across my flat stomach.

After that I don't remember too much. He began to kiss my neck and I remember moaning. But after that well…that's a little personal. But he was so good at it. I seriously have never felt so good in my life. Although I also felt really, really hot. Why the hell didn't Emily and Kim warn me about this?

As I lay there and put my hand and head on his chest. "Happy Birthday Paul." I said kissing his chest.

He kissed me lightly on the head. "That. Was THE BEST birthday present. Ever."

I smiled as I slipped off to sleep. Completely and utterly happy.

Paul didn't patrol with anyone for three weeks. They did patrols alone to spread the pack further. It was a Sunday and Paul and I were sitting in Emily's dining room when Sam said they'd spotted the leech and a few other vampires so they needed to go and check it out. We hadn't done anything since so alarm bells didn't start ringing.

After the boys left Emily asked Kim and I to go and get some potato's so she could make chips. We took my car and drove to the small store.

As we walked in Kim started up a conversation with me.

"Sooo," She said. Oh I could so see where this was going. "Got any use out of that present yet?"

"I used it that night." I said smiling at the memory and going red.

"WHY HAVEN'T I BEEN TOLD THIS?" Kim screeched.

People looked our way as I shoved my hand over her mouth. "Shut up!"

We walked over and picked up the potatoes with my hand still over her mouth. When we picked them up and turned round I was quite sure she wouldn't scream something at me. I slowly took my hand off of her mouth.

"Well was it good?" She asked.

"I…" My mind went back to that night, "Amazing."

We had to walk past the tampons to get to the checkout. Kim was walking a little ahead of me holding the sack of potatoes. I was looking around and wondering whether or not I needed any more tampons when a horrific thought struck me,

"Kim." I said stopping.

"What?" She asked absentmindedly.

"I'm two weeks late."

"WHAT?!" She screamed spinning round. "Didn't you use protection?"

"Oops?"

"OOPS! OOPS!" She grabbed three pregnancy tests. "We're taking these."

I nodded at her. "Oh fuck. As if Sam wasn't going to kill me tonight anyways."

"He didn't know?" Now she seemed even more shocked.

I don't know why though. Did she seriously expect me to tell him that. I can so picture that conversation going well. Oh, hi Sam by the way I slept with Paul last night. Yeah that would go down lovely.

"Why would I tell him?" I asked as we walked out of the store.

"Well…I would of thought you would of told Emily to get him used to the idea at least."

Oh, that might have been a good idea…In fact that would have probably helped matters quite a bit.

"Slipped my mind?"

"You're hopeless."

Luckily I had my backpack on me so I just slipped the tests in there. Because that would have been so fun to explain to Emily. 'Oh hi Em here's your shopping, don't mind the pregnancy tests, there mine. Oh why do I need them? Haha, yeah about that, well, I slept with Paul three weeks ago and now I'm two weeks late. But it's okay though. Don't stress.' No that would not go well.

We could hear the unmistakable signs of tired boys in the kitchen. I smelt muffins.

"You're grounded!" Sam shouted through as I closed the front door.

"What did I do?" I asked.

"Do you really want me to answer that?"

Mind going to the pregnancy test's in my bag I shouted. "Nope."

I walked into the room and sat on Paul's lap then I kissed him lightly. Sam walked around the table picked me up by my arm, which, by the way, really fucking hurts and placed me on the other side of the table.

"Dude what the hell?" I asked.

He glared at me.

"Right…still not over that then?"

He raised his eyebrows. I let out a little puff of air and laid my head on the table.

"On the plus side Tally," Embry said looking at me, I lifted my head and leaned back in my seat. "You looked really freaking hot in that matching set."

Paul smacked him round the head and I banged my head against my hands. Stupid. Stupid. Stupid.

Aj, Matt, James and Joe walked in. "You called us?" Aj said to Sam all business like.

Matt mouthed to me 'Is he better than me?'

"Oh you have got to be kidding me!" I exclaimed. "How the hell did you find out?"

"We just know you." James said leaning backwards on his chair balancing on two legs.

Sam and Aj ignored their little interruption.

"As soon as the bloodsucker comes back we're taking him and his friends out. You want in?"

"Dude. I'm in no matter what he says." Matt said leaning forwards.

Aj growled at him the alpha tenor running through the growl. Matt looked really pissed but leaned back and shut up.

"You got told." I whispered.

He smacked me round the back of the head so I jolted forwards. I rubbed the back of my head the headache was already coming on.

I groaned. "Emily, have you got any aspirin?"

She placed two and a glass of water in front of me. I swallowed them and chased it down with water.

"You suck." I said to Matt.

He just stuck his tongue out at me. Paul was glaring at him.

The rest of the night we all spent messing around and having fun. I slipped upstairs and took one of the pregnancy tests before placing it back in the box. I decided I'd take the others in the morning and look later on. Who knows maybe I'd come on during this week.

I wanted Paul to stay the night but Sam and Emily weren't having any of it. He had to go home. But that wasn't the sad part. The sad part was that I couldn't fucking sleep. I stayed up all freaking night. I got downstairs in the morning shattered. Kim gave me a funny look. Everyone else seemed to notice how shattered I looked but didn't say anything. I realized since Sam and Emily's wedding we'd spent nearly every night in the same bed. And I knew the problem too. My bed didn't smell the same without him and it was too cold.

We sat on the sofa with Sam watching our every move that evening and I fell asleep curled into Paul's chest. It was all warm and home like. Seriously I could not fall asleep without him. How much does that suck?

I'd taken the other two pregnancy tests but I was not looking at them until I really had too. We skipped the next day off school. Sam made us because the boys were going to fight those vampires. They were all jolly about it. Obviously the numbers thing was on our side and they weren't worried at all. But that was fine. Because Emily, Kim and I were plenty worried for all of them.

I was babysitting Claire for the day to put Quil's mind at rest. She was perfectly safe. But we could have sworn to you that the little box we call a radio really hated us.

All the boys were leaving. I was talking to Aj, Matt, James and Joe.

"Look after yourselves alright?" I asked.

"Per-lease, we'll be fine, when have bloodsuckers gotten the best of us before?" Matt said laughing.

"Well I get the better of you everyday and I think the leeches are going to be a bit better than me in that department." I replied.

"You do not." He accused.

"Oh yeah?" I asked lightly jabbing him in the kidney.

"Yeah." He said swiping at my head.

I ducked out of the way turning a little and he grabbed me from behind. I squealed as he lifted me up and held me upside down.

"You suck."

"If that's you getting the better of me I hate to see what you coming of worst is." He said laughing as he dropped me in a heap on the ground.

I glared up at him, "That's not fair. You have the size factor to your advantage."

He laughed at me. James pulled me up. "I'll make sure he's alright."

"You know what?" I said back to James. "That would normally mean a lot to me coming from you but when you're fighting, you're scary shit man. I cannot see you stopping to help Matt."

He laughed at me and Aj ruffled my hair. "They'll be okay kid." Aj said.

"Oh yes, because everyone comes out fine under you're perfect leadership o' wise one." I replied mock bowing.

He shoved me so I fell over again. Joe grinned down at me.

"You got put down." He laughed. I swung my leg round and caught him by surprise when I hit his leg.

He fell over landing on the floor hard. "Enjoy your trip?" I asked in a polite voice.

As I went to get up he tackled me back down. "Ha." He said before getting up himself.

"Dick." I muttered. Before saying louder, "I'm serious though, look after yourself yeah?"

They all nodded at me. I knew they knew they had to be careful but I just worried. I can't help it. We had a group hug and Aj whispered to me "Don't you have someone else to say something too?"

I pulled away from the hug and walked over to Paul who was the other side of the room. I sat down straddling his lap and pulled his head up so he was looking at me.

"Come back to me okay?" I asked.

I knew it was pointless asking Paul to be careful. It was like asking fire to be cold. Paul was the one that would jump into it with his all. He was looking straight into my eyes.

He nodded. "Promise?" I asked.

"Promise." He said.

He leaned forwards to kiss me and I lent out the way. "Save that for when you get back."

He grinned, "That much faith in me huh?"

"For always."

Sam looked over at us as he finished kissing Emily's scars. "Time to go."

I changed my mind and quickly kissed Paul's lips. He raised his eyebrows at me.

"Just in case." I whispered looking a little sheepish before climbing off of him.

He hugged me before walking to join the group of boys in the doorway. Matt saluted me as he walked out and I giggled before saluting back with two fingers and as I pulled away from my head put one finger down so it was like two going out and then one going down so it finished at one finger.

As the door closed all of us girls fell onto the sofas our smiles dropping from our faces. Even little Claire understood what was going on. We didn't really know what to do. How do you react to that? How do you sit there and worry for hours about whether or not the people that mean everything to you will come back? I tell you what it gave me a new respect for Emily and Kim. Sure I was worried about the boys but it was a sort of worry you could play off and distract yourself from. But Paul. The worry about him was unbelievable. It gnawed at your insides and seemed to eat you up from the inside out.

Kim looked at me, quite stressed herself. "I feel sorry for you." She said.

Emily and I both looked confused.

"Why?" I asked.

"Because everyone links to you. Jacob is your best friend from our little group, Sam is your brother in law and father figure, Quil is your niece's future husband, Embry is the brother of your four best friends, your four best friends are out there and then there's Leah and Seth who are your cousins. And who can forget Paul? The possible father of your children. Everything links to you."

I sat for a minute thinking over that. God. She was right.

"Wait a second. Possible father of her children?" Emily asked.

"Yeah she might be pregnant." Kim replied.

"WHAT?!" Emily screeched.

"I took the tests. I haven't looked yet." I said.

"Where are they?"

"I'll look when I'm ready Em."

"Fine. But tell me as soon as you know. I won't tell Sam…yet."

I nodded thankful.

But getting back to the radio. We hate it. The problem is that it was the love hour. So while we were sitting waiting for the boys to get back all of 'our songs' came on. Now when you don't know whether there going to get back or not that is not exactly what you want to here.

I can not tell you about the amount of worry that overcame you sitting there listing to the clock ticking waiting for them to come back. You feel sick it's that bad.

Eventually we heard a large squeak as the door opened. We all kind of froze. Not knowing who it was coming in and such. Or breath was held. Sam came around the living room door, the others following. I physically let the air gush out of my body when I saw Paul. He looked down and tired but at least he was alive. Aj, Matt, James and Joe didn't come in though.

I looked around the room worrying. What if something had happened to them. God I told them to be careful.

"Someone got bit." Sam said looking at me. "Vampire venom is like poison to werewolves."

I felt my heart stop. My face drained of colour and all the heat ran out of my body. I knew it would be one of the guys. Imagining life without them was almost impossible.

"Who?" I choked out.

Everyone looked at me rather upset and somber.

"Who, Sam? Who got bit?"

Am I evil or what?

Okay so tell me what you think.

Go to the poll on the profile :).
