Thanks for all the comments. Some of you were wondering how many chapters were left, I'd say there are at least three but probably more. So… yeah, enjoy!
Chapter 75
Its funny how the future changes. Just last year I had plans to go to college, marry Sam, raise a family and all of that's changed, well except for the last part. My life changed in a blink of an eye and before I knew it I had enemies and a new forced family. Then my enemies became my allies and finally… my step-siblings.
Mom did marry Charlie and I bravely stood next to my mom at the altar as her maid of honor and Bella stood next to me as one of her bridesmaids. Despite the room being filled with vampires and shape-shifters and one werewolf the mood was that of a wedding, happy. We had slowly been putting our differences aside starting with fighting alongside them against the newborn vampires and then Jake's unusual imprinting, then joining together to stand against the volturi, then against Peter and his werewolves and now our parents was united in holy matrimony.
Soon afterwards Sam and Emily were married and I was again a maid of honor for her. Before the thought of anyone besides me marrying Sam would be horrifying and if I hadn't found Kaase I would never have been in their wedding party or even gone to the wedding. But despite past emotions I stood happily and celebrated their wedding like any good cousin and best friend should.
My months of pregnancy seemed to go by in a haze. Kaase and I bought a house outside Port Angeles and played the roles of newlyweds and expectant parents. Kaase always seemed to hover over me, worried about me. It was annoying from the start but I didn't get mad at him, it's something all first time fathers went through.
Child birth is nothing compared to your first phase. With child birth you have nine months to prepare, classes you can take, and people you know to see you through it. When you phase for the first time you have no idea what's going on, no way to prepare for it and all of a sudden you're sharing your mind with other wolves who are practically strangers.
The first time I held Kaase Jonathon Vanderzee in my arms I knew he was my second imprint. He was the world to me and the best thing was Kaase was there to share it all with me. He was born looking like any healthy baby boy, but we wouldn't know for sure what he was until we brought him home.
The second night after we brought him home was a full moon and the whole day Kaase and I had been worrying about what we should do. Should we hide him from the moon and wait till he's older? Should we go ahead and see what happens? We decided in the end we needed to know so after the moon had rose I took a sleeping Jonathon in my arms and brought him to the door.
I hummed softly to my little sleeping angel as we made our way through the house. Kaase walked alongside me stiffly, always keeping an eye on his son. Neither of us said anything. I couldn't resist taking one of Jonathon's small hands in my own and stroking it. He was so soft it was unbelievable.
Kaase opened the back door and stepped out before me. When I made it out the door he was standing on the lawn in full werewolf form. He had the same look he always had under the full moon, he looked ashamed of what he was.
I stepped hesitantly out from under the eaves, my son clenched to my chest. I stared down at him as we moved into the moonlight. He stirred and I felt my breath catch. Kaase loomed over us protectively. Jonathon squirmed a bit then yawned, stretching his mouth open in a cute little o. He opened his eyelids and stared up at us with his crystal blue eyes.
I felt tears prick the back of my eyes and I grinned. I looked up at Kaase and he was beaming down at us. Jonathon wouldn't have to hide from the moon like his father. The wolf gene was in his blood and someday it would sneak up on us. But for now we could enjoy our human baby and forget about the future. As I have found, the future cannot be predicted.
