Written In The Stars Chapter 13, a twilight fanfic

.:The Twilight Saga - Written In The Stars:.

Hello Fanfictioners, here's another chapter... I know, I know. It's been what probably seems like donkey's years since I last posted something, but I've been really busy.

But that doesn't mean I've forgotten about you all, and I really have been trying to get more done on this every chance I get.. So please hang in there with me, it would really mean a lot if you did.

Hopefully it will be worth it, but that really is up to you guys to decided.

Anyway, I hope you all enjoy it, and it satisfies your needs until i can get another chapter up (which hopefully will be soon).

I'd like to thank those of you who reviewed, and of course those of you who favorited and followed *wink* *wink*

Your reviews as always mean a lot to me, so thank you so much.

As always I do not own anything at all when it comes to The Twilight Saga, or any of the characters within that world (I am simply playing with the nicely, I will put them back once I'm done), of course the only thing I own is my story idea and characters.

.:Chapter Thirteen - Aura's POV:.

I sat quietly on Paul's sofa, trying my best not to start crying again as I thought about what I'd done. I look up slightly when I see a mug appears in front of me, and slowly take hold of it. I nod in thanks as I look up at the person in front of me, Paul, and then retreat back into my thoughts.

It had been two days since I'd abjured the pack, since I'd walked out of the house leaving behind my family, making them nothing more than Omega's.

Paul had told me that Sam had yet to decide what he was gonna do, but I knew he'd accept them, or at least except Luka, the look in Leah's eyes gave me enough confirmation on that. I knew he wouldn't force her to live without Luka.

"Are you ok?".

I look back up at Paul, who was still stood in front of me, his body seeming tense as he looks back at me.

"I will be" I say, my voice cracking slightly as I look at him. "Just not right now".

Paul sits next to me as he takes the mug from me, and places it on the small coffee table. He then lifts his arm, slowly wraps it around my shoulders and pulls me in to rest against him. I sigh as I nestle into his chest, taking in his scent.

"I'm sorry" he says suddenly.

I pull back slightly as I look up at him. "For what?".

"For hurting you" he says, and I could feel his fists clenching as he refused to look at me. "The day we met, I shouldn't have said those things, at least of all to you".

I sit up right, my hand clumsily finding his as I look at him. "You said it before we became Dragostea din Stele... This is hard for me, because there's stuff you don't know about me, stuff I'm not ready to tell you...".

I take a deep breath and then continue. "Look, I can forgive you, and we can build a future together, but you have to prove to me, that I made the right choose by giving into your call".

"I can do that" he says quickly, his hand curling around mine, his eyes much softer now.

"But you need to know" I tell him. "I didn't want to give in, but... I have too, because the call for you is getting stronger by the day, and if I continue to refuse you, I'll end up killing us both. And I don't want to, and cannot do that".

My eyes widen when he suddenly leans forward and pulls me into a deep kiss. His lips were sweetly soft, and with a sigh I can't help but close my eyes as he pulls me even closer. I shift so I'm on my knees and then move so I'm sat on his lap.

A cough interrupts us, causing me to pull away quickly. Paul groans in annoyance as he drops his head forward into the curve of my neck.

"What?" he growls into my neck.

"Sorry man, but you gotta patrol tonight, and Sam wants to see you" the person, Embry tells him.

It had turned out that Embry had been the guy in the woods that I'd knocked out, luckily though he didn't hold a grudge about it, and that was probably only because he and Paul were friends.

I pull back from Paul and stand up, a wave of unease coming over me as I look anywhere but the two males in the room. Paul runs his hands over his face after he stands, a apologetic look on his face when he looks down at me, he opens his mouth to say something, but with a shake of my head I press my index finger to his lips.

"It's ok" I tell him softly. "You should go. You have obligations to your Pack".

"I could stay with her if you want?" Embry asks as he steps towards us.

Paul looks back at him, a smile pulling at his lips at the thought. "No, but thank Embry" I say with a small smile in place.

"It would make me feel better" Paul says quickly as he turns back to face me.

I smile a little brighter as I cup his cheek and say "I'll be ok. I'm a werewolf remember, I can kick anybodies ass, and look good doing it".

"I'll be back in a few hours" he tells me as he pulls me into a hug, his right hand cradling the back of my head.

"And I'll be here, waiting" I reply as I hug him back, though not a tightly, after all this was a new relationship.

.:Luka's POV:.

Two days, two whole fucking days without a single word from Aura. I mean of course I knew why but I didn't expect her to keep to the oaths. I figured she'd have coming running back hours later, but at the same time I knew that she above all of us was partial to Pack laws. She lived by them.

But she hadn't returned to us yet, in fact Paul had even been round to collect her clothes, and it had taken Marcus and Lily holding me back so that I couldn't attack him. Which was a good thing, because then she'd never come back.

But now all three of us were faced with a real problem as Sam had yet to make up his mind on whether or not he'd except us. I had a feeling he would except me, but as for Lily and Marcus, I knew he had no real need to except them, but I was not about to abandon them, not after everything. I just couldn't do that to them.

"I know what you're thinking about?" Lily says behind me, her tone sad.

I turn slowly to face her, instantly regretting it when I'm meet with the dishevelled sight of a normally bright eyed Lily, her eyes now red, her cheeks blotchy, her hair unbrushed, and even from here I could see her nails had been chewed at.

"I'm not thinking anything" I tell her as I cross my arm, my eyes once again returning to gaze out of the rain streaked window.

"Yes, you are" she says, her feet shuffling from her place by the door. "And its ok Luka. If its comes too it, we'll leave, me and Luka. If it comes down to it, if he doesn't..."

"I'm not leaving you!" I tell her with gritted teeth as I turn quickly to face her, and I knew my face betrayed me, letting her see the pain I was in. "We're family! Pack! I won't lose you two!".

"And we won't let you lose her!" she snaps back, making me freeze at her raised voice. "It'll kill you! So we'll leave! If he doesn't accept us!".

"Where will you go?!" I practically yell as my fist curl into tight balls.

"Italy" Marcus says as he appears behind Lily, his hand resting against her shoulder. "And we'll keep in touch".

"You make it sound like its already being decided" I say as I slump down into the nearest chair.

"We're just been prepared brother" he says with a calm tone.

A half laugh leaves me as I press my head into my hands, my fingers gripping at the strands that brush against them. I sigh when one of Lily's soft hand brush through my hair, and gently pulls me towards her, my head instantly resting against her stomach.

A frown comes over me when a soft thump rattles against my ear, making me jerk back, my eyes raising to look up at her, only to receive a tilt of her head and a confused look. I press my head back against her stomach, the soft thumping rattle hitting my ear again, and again, and again.

A gasp leaves me as I look towards Marcus, who in turn takes a tentative step towards us, a worried look on his face as he looks between the two of us, but his eyes finally lock on Lily.

"What's wrong?" Lily asks, her hand still in my hair.

"Marcus" I say as I pull back from Lily. "Come here".

Marcus close the distance between us in a matter of seconds, maybe even less than seconds, and drops down into a crouch, his hand already splaying out across Lily's stomach, that look of worry on his face even more noticeable.

I motion with my head for him to do as I'd done, and with a soft sigh he shifts closer and press his head against her stomach, only to jerk away exactly as I had, and then press his head back just a quickly, a broad watery smile pulling instantly across his face.

"What the hell is wrong with you two?" she ask impatiently.

"You're pregnant" Marcus says, his eyes shining as he pulls back to look up at her.

Lily shifts back at this, her mouth hanging open slightly as her hand drops from my hair and slowly brushes across her stomach, her fingers pressing gentle at her for now flat belly. A gasp leaves her, her eyes becoming watery as she looks down at where her hands meets her stomach, a smile pulling at her lips.

Marcus stands quickly, and closes the distance between the two of them, wrapping Lily into his arms, who in return grips at his shift as tears streak down her face.

I look round at the sound of the front door opening, a brighter smile coming over me when Leah walks into the kitchen, only for it to turn into a frown when I see Sam, Jared, and Paul, the last of whom seemed servilely uncomfortable standing at the back of the group, his arms folded across his chest.

I take a deep breath as I stand and step backwards, stopping next to Lily and Marcus, who in turn remain locked together. Sam looks at each member of his Pack, and then back towards the three of us, a frown forming as he looks over all three of us.

"You've made you're choose!" I say with a small nod.

Lily's hands curls around mine as she says "It's ok Luka. We'll always be Pack, no matter where we are".

Marcus' hand presses into my shoulder, making me look at him, he nods firmly with a sigh. "We'll be fine".

I shake my head at this as I shrug them off me, turning away from them as my fist clench before letting it collide with the nearest solid surface. A thunderous crack sounds out as my fist connects with the kitchen counter, causing a ragged ripple to rip down the wood work.

"I can't do this!" I half scream, my hands finding my hair, and pulling harshly.

"I'm sorry Luka" Sam suddenly says.

I turn quickly to face him, my face contorted in anger as I walk towards him, my fist connecting with his face hard, sending him straight to the floor.

"You're not my Alpha! I'd rather stay an Omega than lose what Pack I have left!" I scream at him.

Three sets of hands grab me as I loom over Sam, and pull me back. "Get off me Lily!" I grit out as I struggle against their hold.

"Lily I mean it!" I try again, my anger getting the best of me. "Marcus, get her off me!".

A set of hands leave me quickly, a wave of relief coming over me, even as my vision blurs out. Sam stands up quickly, rage pulling at his face as he looks at me.

"You'd condemn a baby to a life on the run?!" I scream at him still fighting the remaining hands that held me.

"What the hell are you talking about?!" he growls as he glares at me.

"I'm pregnant" Lily says behind me, pulling all eyes to her.

"Oh my god!" Leah gasps out, her hands slackening slightly.

"Are you sure?!" Sam demands as he looks at Marcus.

"You wanna listen to the heartbeat!" Marcus deadpans as he looks at the man across from us, his face showing nothing of what he felt.

"Does she know?" Paul suddenly asks, only to shift back when he's met with four sets of growls.

"No!" I grit out as I finally stop fighting against Leah and Marcus' hold.

"And she doesn't get to!" Marcus says flatly as he actually glares at him.

"She's gonna find out eventually" Lily says quietly behind us, a sad tone in her voice. "And I don't care if she does. She abjured us, her opinion doesn't matter any more".

The room goes deadly quite at this, all eyes turning to look at the usually mild and meek Lily, but she just stands firm, her hands flexing against her sides.

"You should leave" Marcus says after a few minutes of silence. "We have to pack".

Marcus then pulls away from me, his hand quickly curling into one of Lily's and pulling her with him as he turns to lead them out of the room. Leah places a tentative hand against my shoulder as she presses close to me. A soft growl leaves my throat as I turn and nuzzle my nose into her hairline, my eyes narrowed darkly towards Sam and the others.

"Wait!" Sam calls out suddenly as he steps forward, his hand half outstretched.

I growl threateningly as I pull away from Leah and step in front of the taller male, my eyes dark and now blurring slightly again, my fingers flexing and curling into fists down beside me, and a harsh hot shiver runs up my back as I crack my neck doing everything in my power not to shift.

Sam seems to take the hint as he takes a cautious step backward, his hand still outstretched, only now in a form of universal surrender than a form of outreach.

"Luka its ok" Lily says behind me, her hand curling protectively over my shoulder.

"What do you want?" Marcus asks, and I could for once hear the anger he was usually so good at keeping under control.

"If you can promise," Sam begins, a cautious weary look on his tan face. "that you'll submit to me, do as I say, cause no harm, or trouble, with anyone... even the Cullen's.. the vampires... I can let you stay".

Sam pauses at that, looking between the three of us. I sigh as I run my hands over my face before looking round at both Marcus and Lily for an answer.

Marcus reaches out, his hand resting over the one of Lily's still placed against my shoulder, a soft nod coming from him as he looks at me. I then look to Lily, who simple nods, her long fingers squeezing my shoulder slightly under Marcus' hand.

"We can do that" I say as I look back at Sam. "On one condition".

Sam sighs as he folds his arms, his eyes drifting towards Leah before returning to look at myself and the others. "What would that be?" he asks.

"We understand, some of them are your friends" I say with a sigh. "But we don't trust them, not after everything... And we understand that some of them come here, but as long as they stay away from us personally, we won't have a problem with them".

Sam looks back at the others, then to Leah. I chance a look towards her, my heartbreaking at the sight of her fear and pleading filled eyes, her body was almost ridged from all the shit going on and I wanted nothing more than to wrap her up in my arms and not let go.

"Sam please" she says, her voice seemingly seconds from breaking. "You owe me this much".

Sam visible stills at this, his arms falling slack beside him as he bows his head, a frown forming on his lips as he looks at his feet. But then after what seems like forever he looks up, his eyes going back to Leah and then straight to me and the others.

"Ok" he says with a nod as he steps towards me. "I'll speak with them, but you can all stay".

My shoulders slack at this, my hands rubbing over my face as I very audible sigh of relief leaves my lips. Lily pulls away from us, and steps towards Sam, her now small seeming hands pressing against the taller, broader males shoulders as she presses a kiss to his cheek.

"Thank you Sam" she says, her relief suddenly showing the years of weary travel we'd been through. "Thank you so much".

Firm familiar arms wrap around my neck as Leah's scent fills my nose, and she presses herself as close to my body as she can, her petit nose nuzzling into the curve of my neck while a soft growl of approval rumbles through her chest.

My arms wrap around her instantly, pulling her even closer, my nose burrowing deep into the silk smooth locks of her hair, filling my senses with her addictive scent, the smell of earth and coconut, with the tangy electric scent of her wolf mixing perfectly. It drew me in, made me want her even more.

"Do you wanna do this now then?" Marcus suddenly asks from where he's still standing.

Sam looks towards him, his head tilted slightly in what I guessed was confusion before a look of recognition dawns on his features. "I'm guessing there's certain rules you have to follow".

"It not a necessity," I say as I loosen my hold on Leah, but still keep her curled in my arms. "I mean we can choose not to do them, but its the way of our people, so it would be nice".

"Well, I think Emily said something about another bonfire," Leah speaks up as she looks up at me. "with the remaining elders this time".

"We can do it then" Lily says as she allows Marcus to pull her into his arms, a bright smile pulling at her lips as he does. "We have no problem sharing our ways with others not accustomed".

"Yeah, stuff like that's not unheard of" Jared says from beside Sam as he scratches the back of his neck.

Sam looks back at him with a cocked eyebrow.

"What?" Jared asks as he looks at him. "I remember hearing one of the elders talking about it once".

Sam shakes his head as he looks back at us. "Ok then, well I'll speak with the Cullen's, once that's done, we'll sort the rest out. Just, stay out of trouble until then. Please".

.:Aura's POV:.

A soft, slightly callous hand brushes slowly over my shoulder soothingly bringing me back from the depths of the sleep I was rather enjoying. A small smile comes over my when I nuzzle into the cushion that I'd curled myself around, the deep musky chocolaty scent of Paul filling my nose.

Paul, my Dragostea din Stele. At least officially now, seen as only hours prier to this moment I had accepted him as mine. Well, there were other things we would have to do too make it properly official, seen as we we're older.

If we had been younger when we meet it would have been different. There was a law stating that the merges of young Dragostea din Stele were to be consummated differently, but for those over16 the consummation of their bond would be through the act of sex.

The soothing hand brushes over my shoulder again, this time with a bit more pressure, but I couldn't even get myself to be on any kind of alert with worry over it been an attacker, not when my wolf recognised that pressure as its mates presence.

The bed dips beside me, making my body tilt slightly before an equally warm pressure press half against me. A large arm drapes over my side and pulls me backwards towards the body now laid behind me, hard but yet soft muscle aligns firmly along my back as a hand runs feather lightly patterns along my arm.

"I know your awake" he says, his chest rumbling with his deep voice and vibrating down along my back.

"Shhh, no one has to know" I tell him in a hushed voice.

A deep chuckle leaves him at this, his chest vibrating against my back again making me jolt slightly. I sigh half heartedly as I shift in his hold, turning so I'm now facing him, our noses just an inch or so away from each other. His deep eyes find mine, a smile blooming across his lips as he looks down at me, his fingers brushing feather light at the tangles falling in my face and moving them.

"What?" I ask with a small smile.

"It's done" he says in a whisper.

My forehead crinkles in confusion at his words, only for the words to fully sink in moments later. I give a soft nod with a very small smile.

"And?".

"Their staying" he tells me as he brushes his thumb across my cheek. "All four of them".

"All four?" I ask slowly as I shift back just a bit. "What do you mean four of them?".

"Its Lily" he says with a small sad smile. "She's pregnant".

A wave of excitement hits me fast and hard, but it just a quickly pushed away with the reminder that they weren't my Pack any more. And as much as that pained me to know that they we're doing alright without me, another part of me was happy for them.

"That's good" I say slowly with a nod. "I'm happy for them".

"You're ok with this?".

"Yeah" I say with a deep breath. "Their allowed their happiness Paul. I always wanted them safe and happy, even now after what they've done, I still want them safe and happy. Does that make sense?".

"Yeah, it does" he says as he runs his thumb over my cheek again.

"So, what time is it?" I ask after a few minutes of silence.

"Just past half four" he says with a smile. "Jared's just taken over my patrol".

"You shouldn't be telling me this" I reply playfully. "I'm a lone Alpha, for all you know I could use it against Sam. I could take you away from him".

"But you won't" he says as he gently leans over me more, pressing his body into the side of mine.

"No, I won't" I say as I reach up and run my finger tips across his forehead, and down along his cheek.

A soft shiver runs through his body as I do this, my fingertips finally coming to rest against his plump lips. His eyes search mine as he presses closer, his body fitting perfectly against mine. He leans on his left arm while his right hand stills against the curve of my neck.

A slight whimper leaves me when he closes the gap between us to press his lips against my own, it was all soft, and gentle, but I could feel the underling passion wanting to burst out even more. It was practically clawing at the surface of his skin, making me ache for it right along with him.

A moan trips from my mouth, swallowed hungrily by Paul, as he moves above and against me, letting his right leg nudge at mine before settling between the gap and pressing right up against my clothed mound.

A soft growl escapes him as he does this making me pull back from the ever deepening kiss. "What?" I ask.

"You're.." he begins, his eyes darting to my lips for a split second as he licks as his own, he then finds my eyes again. ".. so warm".

The hand I have now resting against his left upper arm squeezes slightly as I turn my head away from him, trying all my best to keep it from looking like I was offering my submission to his wolf. I could feel the added heat in my cheeks, knowing instantly that my slight tan was doing nothing to hide the blush spreading along them in full force.

"Hey, no!" he says softly as he gently cups my face and turns me back to face him. "Its ok. Don't be embarrassed. Its a good thing, right?".

"Yeah, of course it is" I say with a slightly shake voice. "But,.. I've only ever been with one guy, and that was years ago...".

"There's nothing wrong with that" he tries soothingly as he looks into my eyes.

I sit up slowly as I run a hand through my hair. "I know its ok to be embarrassed, but that's only half of it" I say as I look back at him.

Paul follows suit and sits up as well, his right hand brushing over my jaw line and cupping gently as he looks at me with slight confusion. "Then tell me. Let me in" he says softly.

I nod with a small half sad smile. "In my peoples law, if you're over the age of 16 when you find you're Dragostea din Stele,.. you're Imprint, you consummate your union through the act of sex" I explain.

"And you don't want that?" he asks, still confused.

"No! No!" I exclaim quickly. "I've chosen to be with you, in every way. But the laws differ slightly because I'm an Alpha".

"In what way?" he asks slowly, a look of worry in his eyes.

"You would have to submit to me" I tell him. "During the act, the Dragostea din Stele of an Alpha would bare their necks, offering themselves body and soul to their Alpha. Meaning Sam would no longer be you're Alpha. You would have to loose you're Pack to become mine".

Paul pulls back at this, a look of worry and confusion as he stands from the bed, and begins to pace. "And you expect that from me?" he asks after very long pregnant pause.

"I don't expect anything from you" I tell him softly as I watch him.

Paul stops pacing at this, his eyes going wide as he turns to look at me. "So you're just gonna leave me?".

"No of course not!" I say quickly as I stand and walk towards him, my hands cupping his face as gently as I can. "But I won't take you from you're Pack Paul. I know how much Pack means, so I would never do that to you".

"So you would break you're laws?" he asks slowly. "For me?".

"No" I say with a sigh.

"Wait?" he says quickly, his forehead crinkling in frustration. "Then what?".

"My Nanna once told me that there are loop holes too all laws" I say as I pull away and take a seat back on the bed. "In this case, there is a way to submit to me without giving up you're submission to Sam and losing you're Pack. But its slightly barbaric, and there is a chance that something could happen that neither of us are ready for".

"Just tell me. Please" he says as he looks right at me.

I take a deep breath as I roll my shoulder and then look right at him. "During the act of intercase, you would be expected to remain in side me at the peak of you're orgasm, without protection".

"Wait! What?".

"Its the only way Paul" I try to reason. "There my peoples laws. You of all people should understand the meaning of tradition".

"Yeah, of course I do. But this is..." he says with a grown.

Paul cuts himself of with a frustrated sound as he rubs his hands over his face and letting himself flop down into a bean bag he had placed beside his wardrobe.

"And there the only ways?" he asks after a few minutes.

"Yes" I say with a small sigh. "These laws were made centuries ago, back when the chance of a teen pregnancy was apparently expectable".

"So I have too choose" he says as he finally looks at me. "Between loosing my family, or chancing a pregnancy that nether of us are ready for".

"I'm sorry" I say as I run a hand through my hair. "But these laws are important to me".

Neither of us speak for a long while after that, the only sounds are our breathing. All the while, I ready myself for him to kick me out. I mean, I knew what I was asking from him. Just the thought of it had always made me cringe.

But I didn't want to force him into anything. "Why this way?".

I look up from my lap at his question. "To prove you're willing to be with me in every way. There have been many a case of false Dragostea din Stele in the past".

"You're people too, huh?" he scoffs, his head resting in his hand as he looks at the floor.

I straighten up at this, my eyes slightly wide. "It happened to one of yours?" I ask.

Paul looks up slowly at this, a sudden sadness in his eyes, he then looks away from me and at one of the walls. "Yeah... me" he tells me.

"I know what it feels like too" I say after a few moments, my fingers playing with the fabric of the quilt, and my eyes trained on the floor. "It's not a great feeling".

Silence fills the room again, but I could feel his eyes watching me. Finally after a good few minutes I force myself to stand and walk towards him, stopping when I reach him and kneeling down in front of him.

"I don't expect you to say yes" I begin as I look right at him, my hand resting gently at his knee cap. "I can see just by looking at you how much you're family means too you. But if I don't do it this way, then my Pack's history will fade, and as an Alpha, even more now that I don't have a Pack, I need to follow Pack traditions. Even if they are barbaric and idiotic".

He sighs as he runs a s hand through his hair, and sits forward in a slight hunch. "I.. I'm not saying no.. But I need time to think about this".

I nod with a reassuring smile, even if it was kinda sad and cup the side of his face, my thumb running over his cheekbone. "I understand. This is a big decision, for both of us. But more so for you".

I then lean up, and press a soft kiss to the corner of his mouth before standing up fully. "Call me when you've made you're choose" I say I brush my fingers tip through the small fringe of his hair.

"You're leaving?" he ask quickly, his voice fully of worry and something akin to anger.

"I think its for the best, just until you've decided" I tell him with a soft nod. "This is important, and while we're around each other, the temptations will be too much. And I don't want you to make the wrong chose because of those temptations".

"But it'll hurt you to be away" I says, his voice sounding half broken. "I don't want you to be in pain".

"I know" I say with a sigh. "But it could also prove best in the long run. You may choose for us not to commit fully by my ways, and I don't expect you to. But if you choose that, then we can never fully be together, and deep down you know that. Its the curse of been an Alpha".

Anger clouds his face, and his eyes narrow. "Are you trying to guilt trip me into this?" he snaps.

"I can't believe you think I would do that to you" I say as I step back and away from him.

"I told you I had been fooled by false love, just like you... My peoples laws are barbarically stupid, but there my laws none the less, and I thought you of all people would understand that. If there was another way around this, I would take it, for you. I would do anything to prove I deserve this second chance with you, to prove I can love again. To love you... But if you think for a second that I would trick you into this, then maybe we shouldn't even be trying to make this work".

I swipe quickly at the fallen tears that had escaped, and were painting my cheeks in wet trails. I turn away from him after speaking, quickly pulling on my torn ¾'s over my night shorts, and my crinkled red tartan shirt over my loose tank top.

I pull on my sneakers, and grab my old tattered rucksack that was sat on the floor at the end of his bed, and swing it over my arm.

"I'm sorry. I really, really am" he asks he follows me from the room. "Just, don't go. Please".

I turn back to face him, trying my best to keep a calm look about me. "I'll check into a motel. If I don't hear from you within a week, I'll leave town".

"I don't want you to go!" he says, his voice sounding broken.

"I don't either" I say as I run a hand through my hair. "But I can't let myself be blamed for someone else's wrong chooses. Not again".

A warm mouth covers mine so quick and sudden that my breath is literally taken from me, long fingerers cup my face and pull me closer.

"You will never be a wrong choose" he breaths as he pulls away, his forehead resting again mine as he looks down into my eyes.

"You don't know that" I try to reason, my eyes closing momentarily before finding his again. "You could come to regret me down the line. You could come to hate me".

"Yeah maybe" he says as he pulls back ever so slightly, now looking at me fully. "There's bound to be days were we hate each other. But I think there will be more days were we love each other".

"I don't want to force this on you" I try again.

"Its not forcing if I'm letting you do it".

"We're too young to be parents" I tell him. "We're not ready. And we hardly know each other".

"But that's the best part about been soul mates, we get the rest of our lives to find everything out" he says with a soft nod, his thumb running over my cheek.

"How can you be so sure about me?" I ask, my eyes searching his.

"I just know" he whispers with a smile. "This time I know... Now please, don't leave me".

I force my tears back as best as I can, a sigh leaving me in the process, then after a much needed deep breath I nod slowly.

"I'll stay" I say with a half smile. "On one condition".

"Name it" he says as he brushes hair from my face.

"Whatever happens,.. whatever the out come" I begin slowly, my eyes locked with his. "Promise me you'll never abandon me. I just can't loose anybody else".

"Never!" he says firmly, his hands cupping my face gently as he presses a kiss to my lips before pulling back again. "Never! I will never leave you!".

I nod in response, and then bury my head into his chest as I wrap my arms around him. He tucks my head under his chin, strong arms encasing my body.

Wrapped in his arms like this, just a simple hold I felt I was the safest I'd ever been.

Like nothing could hurt me.. I was the strongest person right at the moment, just because of Paul Lahote's arms been wrapped securely around me.

And I never wanted it to end.

A/N - As always thank you for reading, and I would like to ask that you go REVIEW this story, cos it would mean a lot to me, and it actually helps me write a bit faster.

So thank you again, and REVIEW, REVIEW, REVIEW...

Until next time, MarsPlanetsGirl aka Emma. Xx
