I Would For You

Paul/Rachel Fanfiction-When Rachel Black left La Push nearly four years ago to go to college she was carrying a secret. When she returns to pick up the pieces in the aftermath of her brother's disappearance she has no idea of what fate has in store for her and the effect it has on her life.

Chapter 14-Hope For The Hopeless

Paul's Point of View.

How long I was in my wolf form I didn't know. However long it was it was enough for nearly everyone to manage to hear the news about my child. God I had werewolves popping in and out of my head for the last three hours and the alternative was changing back to human form. I'd managed to salvage my pants and stole a shirt from a hanging clothes line and finally thought through all that had happened in the last few hours.

So Rachel had gotten pregnant. That explained so much and yet there was so much unexplained. There was the fact that I was a father, there was the fact that Rachel had lied to me for five years and there was the unchangeable fact that no matter what imprint or no imprint I would never stop loving her.

She was Rachel Black. How could any man stop loving her? She had hurt me but had I forced her into this? I had been the one that had left, that had stayed away for weeks before she had left town our baby growing in her belly. I had been the one that had ignored her phone calls and ignored her whenever I'd seen her.

And there was a child.

A baby.

Hell a five year old.

I buried my head in my knees and remembered how to breathe. So I was a father. And God knows I was going to be the best. I wasn't going to be like my father who was an absentee at best and cruel at his worst. I wasn't going to let my child grow up in an environment that I had done and if that meant ditching La Push, ditching the pack and going back to Hawaii then I would do that.

I walked around a little bit in the forest thinking hard. With my kid came Rachel and I wasn't arrogant enough to believe for even a second the entire thing was her fault. There was misunderstandings after misunderstandings and we had both screwed up. If I had gone back to Rachel that day after I had forced myself to change back I could have imprinted on her and then she could have gone off to Washington and we would have worked something out.

But would I have been safe enough to be around a crying baby? Would I become another Sam? Hell I had a temper it ran in the family, would I snap one day and hurt Rachel? Hurt my baby? The thought alone made me feel sick my hands shaking desperate to change, the wolf howling to protect.

I swore turning around and walking back through the bushes pacing up and down my bare feet almost sinking into the mud and the branches cutting at my ankles. I bit my lip. I had to think hard, the entirety of what came next was based on this decision.

I wanted to be a father, I wanted Rachel, and in hindsight looking back I was prepared to forgive. I wasn't the most stable of influences after I had transformed and I wasn't the most stable of wolves even know. But I had survived nearly three wars with the vampires and I finally had the time to make the decisions. I would have found out about this eventually. If I had gone to Hawaii. And Rachel if I remembered rightly would have told me that night had Jackson not turned up.

I stopped pacing and thought carefully. I wanted to do the right thing and I wanted to be happy and I couldn't see a way I could do that without Rachel in my life. I wanted to be a father and be in Rachel's life and the only way I could do that was to forgive.

Forgive.

Shit.

I started pacing again.

It was another three hours before I made my decision and even then it was so half-assed that I knew that with one fell swoop it would all come crashing down. But to hell with it.

I was going to go back to La Push. I was going to go knock on the door of Rachel's home and ask her to see my child. I was going to go and be a good father and if there was a relationship with Rachel to be had (and my wolf lifted his head and nodded his approval at that thought) then I had to try it. There was far too much shit between the two of us for us to not try and I would be damned if I let a mistake that happened five years ago when we were kids define us. God knows we were just as culpable as the other.

'Nice to see the mature side of you coming through' came Jared's voice in my head. I shook my head my ears pricking down as I ran in wolf form back the way I had come.

'Oh by the way' Jared said casually 'Another one of the little wolves have bit the dust...imprinting' he said and I knew without seeing him that he was rolling his eyes.

'Which one?' I asked in interest.

'Rory' he said casually. 'Keaton's torn between hysteria over his best friend imprinting and irritable that someone is going to get in the way of their undying friendship. Kinda reminds me of me and you when we were young and stupid'

I snorted. 'We were never that young and stupid. And hell, we are young'

Jared snorted in my head and I rolled my eyes, Rachel's face in my mind.

'She saw him transform' he said finally. 'She was out taking a run and he followed her and then when she freaked he freaked and then it was up to Colin and Brady to calm him down and then she fainted and then it was one shit storm after another'

I sighed. It happened. None of the imprinting had gone smoothly. Sam had scared Emily. Kim had slapped Jared (and I had laughed...a lot), Jacob had imprinted on a half vampire daughter of the woman he had once loved and Quill had imprinted on a toddler. Even without mine and Rachel's bond the reason I had run away was clear to everyone. In fact the only person who seemed to have a normal bond was Jamie and Morag who were dancing around each other like two twelve year olds could.

'Damn, no damage? Physically?' I asked. Both Jared and I had been Sam's second in commands for a long time and we knew how everything worked, we knew how to control everything.

'No, he's shook up and the girl fainted but Colin took her back to Emily and after a good cry and a cup of cocoa and I think a small shot of brandy mixed in she calmed down long enough to hear the story. She's a sweet kid. Name's Ella'

I nodded accepting this bond into the pack as well. We always seemed to grow.

'You seen...' I asked letting it slide. Jared sighed he knew who I meant, he knew both of them. 'Kinda, she's around. Rachel. Emily went to see her and your kid, you know what Emily's like she's so accepting of everything. She took Ella and Morag under her wing and she likes your daughter as well'

I skidded nearly crashing into a tree.

'A daughter?' I asked my voice going slightly higher. Jared swore. 'Yeah, I asked. It's a girl, all dark hair and dark eyes according to Kim and a huge fan of Harry Potter...' he dithered. 'You wanna know her name?'

I let out a roar. Jared flinched.

'Jesus man ok...her name's Shay Black though if you wanted to you could get the last name changed'

I nodded more to myself than anything. I was five minutes away at a good sprint.

Jared rolled his eyes and then pulled out of my head. I stopped at the edge of the wood and yanked my shorts and shirt over my head and lower body. There was smoke coming out of the chimney and I knew that at least someone was home.

I knocked on the door.

It took a second before someone could open it and then I was forced to look down as the breath got caught in my throat and I had to choke down whatever it was in my throat.

It was a child, a small five year old nearing six and she was looking up at me with big brown eyes, my eyes. Her hair was scraped into a plat that showed off her tiny ears and pointed chin, she was wearing leggings and a jumper with the Hogwarts crest on it.

It was my daughter standing their looking at me.

"Hi" I said finally working my throat forcibly.

"Hi" she said in her perfect crystal clear voice.

"Shay I told you about the door..." said a voice, Rachel's voice. She trailed of when she saw who it was and her skin went several shades lighter. Her hair was loose and she was in loose flannel pants and a heavy grey jumper. She paused looking at me and I swallowed again because God this woman was beautiful.

"Hi" I said staring at her and then I smiled, Shay between the both of us and the tension wasn't as tough as It had been the day before it was warm and filled with the promise of something knew.

"Hi" she said back and this time her eyes were warm.

And I will update as soon as I can.
