Chapter 17-I Want You With Me

Rachel's Point of View.

So the truth was out. And I was going to find a way to kill my brother slowly and painfully for doing the one thing (if by accident) I had told him not to do. If I had the balls to tell Shay I would have made damn sure she wasn't stood at the top of the stairs desperate for some warm milk. Also I would make damn sure she didn't leave the house as that phone call from Paul had put about ten years on me and not in a good way.

Shay for the most part had settled into having Paul in her life with an ease that frightened me and clearly shocked him. He knew that the relationship was fragile and she knew that he was gonna be there no matter what. Paul I knew told her twice a day.

But I didn't want to move matters forward at least from a legal perspective until I had my daughter's approval. She might be five and I might be her mother but I wanted Shay's approval before I pushed anything through and that damn well included putting Paul on the birth certificate.

First I had one more secret to tell him. I had to tell Paul that my car accident when I was pregnant with Shay had severely diminished my chances of having children. If he wanted a future with me, and I wasn't arrogant enough to believe automatically that he did then I was going to be honest with him.

Besides. If I was being completely honest with myself I didn't want another child. Not only was Shay more than enough for me to be happy but I didn't like the wolf gene. I didn't like the idea of passing something that explosive down my family line, and Shay...she had the gene on both sides with my family and Paul's even though Paul's was a lesser connection to the original wolves. While I loved my daughter and despite everything loved her father I didn't want to risk my own health and the health of my unborn child any further.

That left me with a problem.

Because while my biggest cards were on the table that I still couldn't help the fact that I knew Paul was hiding something. I knew it because I knew him. There was something other than the fact that I had hid the fact that he had a child and other than the fact he had told me after the fact that he was a shapeshifting Werewolf there was still something for each of us smouldering on the table, another wound that was in danger of being poked and prodded and another scab that was in desperate need to get picked.

Such was the case one Friday when a text message from my brother told me that he would pick Shay up at school. What the idiot failed to text me with, (or at least until I was home and in a house that was soundproof to imploding) was that he had stopped off at Nessie Cullen's house and that now apparently she and Shay were sat on the Cullen's couch drinking hot chocolate and eating Esme Cullen's oatmeal cookies and watching Harry Potter on the TV.

And ok. I knew that the Cullen's were supposedly the good guys of the vampire world and what little I did know about it but I had to admit the thought of my child sitting in a room filled with people that I knew could kill her without even breaking pace made me get straight back in my car and head straight for the Cullen residence that was as huge and wide spaced as I thought it had looked like on the pictures that Jacob had shown me.

Edward Cullen...well I assumed it was Edward opened the door for me. If my memory served correctly he was the one Jacob had told me was the mind reader and he let me in with a polite "Hello" before pointing down the corridor. "The girls are in the living room" he said offering me the way first. If the guy wasn't happily married I would have to admit that he would make a lot of woman go fluttery at him. The small smirk on his face at that comment showed me that yes he was the mind reader and that he found my views funny at best.

Shay was curled on the couch next to a younger girl I assumed was the half vampire baby. She didn't look like a baby. She looked about Shay's age with masses of dark hair and dark eyes. She didn't look like she could kill someone without even trying she looked just like an average child and I felt something inside me stir at the thought that my own town had tried to kill this girl while she was still in her mother's womb ending two lives. I sent a look at Edward Cullen and by the way his eyes met mine I knew he got my silent apology and accepted it without hesitation.

Jacob was sat on the chair near the window playing with his phone while Shay and Nessie Cullen were sat in their school uniforms watching with open mouths the trapdoor scenes of the first Harry Potter.

"Hey Momma" Shay said without taking her eyes of the screen. "This is Nessie" I smiled and waved a little but the half vampire girl was watching the screen with a look of deep interest.

"Harry Potter fan?" I asked Edward Cullen who rolled his eyes and shook his head. "I remember" he said finally. "When they first came out. My brother Emmett locked himself in a room for three days when he got all seven books and then again with the eight films and by the end of it broke all the furniture" he shook his head.

I smiled unsure of what the hell I was supposed to say to that.

"Drink?" Edward Cullen asked and I shook my head. "No" I said finally bending down to tuck Shay out from under the blankets she was in. "We should get going"

"Stay till the end" Jake said watching me. "Nobody's gonna bite"

I did indeed stay to until the end of the movie if only to stop seeing the baby Cullen's eyes on me whenever she thought I wasn't looking.

I had just gone to the Cullen's bathroom to freshen up while Jacob got Shay into the car when I left the room to see Renesmee Cullen's eyes on me again.

"Hi" I said finally. She tilted her head to the side and then opened her mouth. "Are you like me?" she said quietly.

"Excuse me?" I asked bending down her level. "You and Paul" she said quietly. "It's like me and Jacob isn't it"

I stared at her. "Sweetheart what do you mean?"

She shook her head. "You and Paul, your imprints" she said looking confused. "I've met Emily once but you're the first...there's you and Emily and Kim and..." she shrugged again.

I paused but before I could blink Edward Cullen was there. "Nessie leave Rachel alone" he said and Renesmee turned around and ran off without even saying a goodbye.

"Sorry" Edward Cullen said quietly and I shrugged feeling and knowing that he knew that I was lying about what had just happened. His daughter had given me a bit of insight into the world that she saw through those dark eyes and I was now desperate to know what she had said about this 'Imprinting' thing and I knew that there was no way in hell I would be asking my brother about it.

When I got back to my house Paul was already waiting there for us. "Hey" Shay said getting all shy like she did when she was around her father. "Hey" Paul said in his deep voice but there was something about the slight curl of his mouth that worried me.

"Hey" I said running my hand through Shay's hair. "Go and get changed babe" I said and she ran instantly up the stairs.

"Where have you been?" Paul asked looking at me. "You smell like...vampire..."

"Yeah" I said reaching for the bottle of wine and pouring myself a glass of red. I took a sip and then placed it on the table taking a deep breath. "We went to the Cullen's house and Shay and Renesmee watched a movie" I looked up to see Paul's hands convulse and then close into fists as the tremors shook his hand.

"Paul" I said finally. "I'm gonna ask you something and I need you to remain calm"

"Ok" Paul said after several moments.

"What's imprinting?"

And let me know what you think.
