When A Door Closes, A Window Opens
Seth's P.O.V.
I woke up to the most beautiful sight in the world. Jetta's head was resting softly on my chest and I could feel her breath on my neck. I smiled as she moved a little bit and her hair was now in my face. I smelled her scent and I felt myself thinking of the other night in the forest. She was the most beautiful, wonderful, feisty, amazing girl in the world, and she was mine. I liked the sound of that: Jetta was mine.
I was just about to wrap my arms around her body and pull her closer when Sam and Carlisle walked into the room. I looked at them both and Sam nodded his head a little bit. I groaned silently and hit my head against the back of the couch. It was just my luck that as soon as I got comfortable with the girl I love I'm pulled away from her.
Slowly I managed to squirm my way out from under Jetta and left her sleeping soundly on the couch. I stood up and had to maneuver my way around the rest of the girls who were sleeping on the ground. I saw Shawn sleeping with Brady sleeping only a few inches away from her and I finally made it into the kitchen I saw Carlisle, Noah, Sam, Trace, Gemma, Esme, Emily and Sasha all sitting in the kitchen.
"Another meeting?" I asked with a sigh. I was really getting sick of all this talking. It made everything only that much harder. Even the thought of Jetta giving up our child made me angry.
"Seth, we have to include Sam in our plans." Carlisle said softly.
"I know that but didn't you ever think that I'm getting freaking sick of talking about all these god damn plans?" I asked him angrily.
"Seth, please calm down. This is the last time we'll talk about it." Esme said and softly patted my shoulder.
"Yeah, but I'm going to have to live these plans for God only knows how long." I snapped back.
"Well if you won't say anything then I will. Sam, we know that you do not know the Diamonds as well as you know us, but they live by the same concept that we do. We are planning on leaving Jetta's child with them and have them move into our house on our side of the line. We will move Jetta and Seth up into Alaska to live with the Denali clan. And Jetta's pack we ask that you allow Jetta's pack to stay on the reservation to keep an eye out." Carlisle said to Sam who looked thoughtful. He looked up at Carlisle and gave him a slow nod.
"Last night the pack agreed that we will help Seth and Jetta in whatever way possible. I'm sure that you know that we don't like the Volturi any more than you all do." Sam said in his wise voice. Before Sam threatened to kill Bella's baby, I really envied him. He was there for me like a father when mine died. He always seemed so patient and wise and I wished I could have a love like his and Emily's.
Even though I had been in Jake's pack, I felt closer to being part of Sam's family more than ever… I mean besides being Jetta's. She was My Everything. But still, I needed someone to lean on because I didn't want Jetta to feel the pain I did.
"And are the Diamond's ready to accept the responsibility of taking care of one of us? And protecting them from the Volturi?" Sam asked in his deep voice and looking over at all the Diamonds. I expected Noah to speak, but I was surprised when Gemma looked Sam directly in the eye with a fierce look on her face.
"Of course. We will protect her with our lives and will have no regrets about it." She said sharply. Whoa. Where did that come from?
"Then it is all settled. See, no harm done." Carlisle said and nodded to me. I just rolled my eyes but froze when I heard the sweetest sound I had ever heard.
"Seth?"
I turned around and looked at Jetta in her cloth shorts and tank top, she rubbed her sleep filled silver eyes, and gave me a confused look. I would never get over how perfectly full her lips looked or the gentle curve of her neck into her delicate shoulders. The flow of her body all the way down her legs. All of it was mine, and the feeling that spread all over my skin was too much to bear. I stepped forward and took her gently into my arms. I always felt afraid that I would hurt her if I wasn't too gentle. I planted a kiss on her forehead and then smiled down at her.
"What did I miss?" She asked me in a voice that was still thick with sleep.
"Just arrangements." I sighed in a hard voice. I carefully watched her face as it got darker, but she didn't look up at me, and instead gave a small nod to Gemma who nodded back. Whoa… I'm thinking I missed something there. But before I could ask Jetta sighed and leaned her head on my shoulder and I was no longer concerned about anything else but her comfort and happiness.
"Do you want to get out of here?" I asked her softly and she nodded against my warm chest. I entwined our hands together and then without another word to the others, walked out the back door to Emily's house and into the familiar forest of La Push.
"Ah! It's raining!" Jetta slowed down and tipped her head back and let the cool drops hit her face. I smiled at her and watched her spin around like a little girl in the rain then look at me again.
"What is it?" She asked me with a raised eyebrow. I shook my head and chuckled.
"Nothing, you just amaze me, that's all." I said to her and she blushed the tiniest bit and rolled her eyes. I smiled even more and then took her hand again and led her deeper into the woods that I had basically grown up in.
"Where are we going now?" She asked me as she looked around at all of the green trees.
"Oh please, you didn't think I wasn't going to show you around my turf did you?" I asked her with a grin. She snorted and gave me a look.
"So now you own all this?" She asked me with a raised eyebrow.
"Would you believe me if I said yes?" I smiled.
"Nope. Not at all." She winked at me and then skipped off ahead of me. I watched her for a second just enjoying the view when finally I was tired of not being near her and I ran after her, feeling the exhilarating power that came with the whole werewolf deal. As I caught up to her and encased her in my arms a thought went through my head and I smiled down at her. She looked up at me and started laughing.
"You look like a mad man! Stop!" She laughed at me and I grinned wider, loving the sound of her laugh.
"How would you like to meet my mom?" I asked her quickly. That stopped her and made her face go stone cold.
"Your…. Mother?" She asked quietly. And I nodded, a bit confused. I wrapped my arms tighter around her, hoping that her serious face would go away.
"We don't have to if you really don't want to…" I said with a little bit of my own sadness in my voice. But her happiness was much more important than mine so I was willing to deal with that.
"No… It's just… I haven't really had a mom for a long time, you know? And people just don't seem to get that about me. But whenever I met a woman they always seem to think that I'm the type of person who would cause trouble. Which I guess they sort of pegged really close to the mark, but they usually don't like me." Jetta whispered to me and in her voice I hear almost a child speaking. And in that moment, even more than before, she seemed fragile to me. I kissed her neck under her ear and moved up her jawbone.
"She'll love you because I love you."
As soon as I told her this the small smile returned to her lips again and she nodded slowly. My heart filled with excitement as I took her hand and started running through the forest at a fast pace. Within only a few minutes we stopped in my backyard and I looked up at the small white house that I had grown up in.
"Wow… Nice place you got here." Jetta elbowed me in the ribs.
"Shut up. Come on, she's going to love you." I said to her with a smile and I thought I heard her whisper something, but it might have just been the wind. I led her up the back stairs onto the porch and then walked around to the front door. I knocked on it once and it took my mother only about ten seconds to get to the door. She opened it and looked like she was expecting someone else, but as soon as she saw us her face lit up and she wrenched open the door to pull me into a hug.
"I've missed you!" She said to me as I hugged her back. She was lonely, and I got that, but god, you'd think that she'd have some friends!
"I missed you too, mom… And I have someone you'll want to meet." I said to her as I pulled back and took a stiff Jetta into my arms.
"Mom, this is Jetta Sparks. She's my imprint." I said with what I was sure a glowing face. Jetta blushed a little and lifted her hand.
"Hey." She squeaked and I chuckled.
"Hello dear." My mother said with an ecstatic smile of her own and pulled Jetta away from me in an unexpected, mothering hug. I watched Jetta get stiff, but then relax a bit into the hug before pulling away and backing into my arms again. I smiled at both of them as we just stood there.
"Well… Are you going to invite us in or not?" I asked jokingly and my mother laughed as she opened the door again and went in with us walking behind her. It smelled just like usual. Fried fish, smoke from my late father's old pipe, and my mom's regular perfume. To anyone else it was an odd combination, but it was home to me.
"Here, why don't you two sit, I'll go get some cake." My mom smiled at us as she left us in the small living room and went into the kitchen. I heard her rummaging around for plates and forks. That was when I head Jetta's stomach growl.
"Hungry much?" I asked her with a laugh.
"Shut up! I didn't get to eat much yesterday." She said to me and I laughed a bit harder thinking about the 3 trucker's breakfasts she had inhaled at the diner.
"Well you better start eating more… now that you have another person to sustain." I said and then froze. I hadn't even meant to, but the words had just slipped out. Jetta had frozen as well.
"How are we going to tell you're mother?" She asked me.
"Tell me what?"
Jetta and I both jumped at the sound of my mother's voice coming into the living room and handing us our cake. Jetta busied herself with eating her cake immediately and I looked down at my shoes.
"Come on then Seth. Let's hear it." My mom said with a mothering look and I had no choice but to take a deep breath and tell her everything… yeah… Everything.
"Carlisle has a theory that our children will be a sort of hybrid. For now we just know that they are the carriers… But we don't know what of. We have learned Jetta is more vampire than werewolf, but she shows none of the characteristics. And because of all that the Volturi will hunt us down and try to kill our child… Or us… Or maybe both." I managed to choke out. Jetta's hand was tightly folded in mine as I continued, ignoring my mother's gasp.
"With that, we have come up with a plan that involves everyone to protect us and the child. We leave for Denali, Alaska as soon as Jetta gives birth." I said slowly.
"What about the baby?" My mother asked with fear in her eyes.
"The baby will stay with another vegetarian coven of vampires." I sighed and my mom gasped again.
"What about Jake's pack? Where's Leah in all of this? Where is the rest of your pack?" My mom was getting angry now and I knew this was going to be the hardest thing to tell her.
"I'm not part of their pack anymore. Like I told you, Jetta and I are the first of our kind. The first werewolf-werewolf pairing. And after Jake's pack attacked Jetta under no clear circumstances, I had to split apart from them." I said quietly.
"So you are going to choose this… girl over your family? Over your safety?" My mom asked me in a loud voice. I struggled to keep my sanity under control.
"After they attacked her even with the rules of our pack set down? Yes. It's something you don't understand mom." I said to her in an edgy voice.
"Something I don't understand? I understand completely. You are going to just walk away from your sister and the men who have been you brothers and just give them up so you can elope with this slut?" My mother yelled finally giving Jetta a death glare. That was where I drew the line. I stood up with Jetta securely in my arms.
"No. I gave them up so I could protect the person I love more than anyone else in this world." I whispered in a deathly low tone. My mother let out a little breath but I didn't see her face because I was already walking out the door with Jetta right beside me.
For a long time after we were in the forest again I heard my mother yelling at us from the porch, but soon it was completely silent and I stopped Jetta. I turned to her and buried my face in her neck my arms around her and wanting to never let go.
"I'm so sorry. I can't even begin to explain how sorry I am." I whispered into her soft skin.
"It's okay… Like I said, I expected it." She whispered back to me and hugged me tighter.
"I didn't." I sighed and then pulled away and sat down on the ground leaning against a moss covered tree. Without even hesitating, I pulled Jetta onto my lap and she immediately nestled her head on my shoulder. I smiled a bit and stroked her hair.
"I guess I should be the one to say sorry…" Jetta sighed quietly.
"Don't even say that." I said to her quickly but she shook her head.
"You're mom is right. I'm making you give up everything that was important to you." She said to me with a quiver in her voice. It felt like I couldn't hold her any tighter without breaking her as I kissed her hair repeatedly.
"That might be true. But I'm getting something so much more important in return. So it all evens out eventually." I smiled into her hair and she laughed a bit. My heart swelled at the sound of it.
"So I guess that means I'm never getting rid of you?" She asked me as she pulled away to look at me.
"Nope. You're stuck with me." I smirked at her. She snapped her fingers.
"Oh darn." She said to me and I laughed with her before I pulled her into a deep kiss. I could get used to being with Jetta forever. She was one of those things I couldn't picture my life without… And I guess that's what all werewolves say about their imprints. But I wasn't just talking in werewolf/imprint terms. I was talking in true love terms. The kiss led to more passionate things and by the time we were done Jetta lay on my bare chest breathing heavily. My hand gently slid up and down the bare skin of her back and all of a sudden she started laughing.
"What is it?" I asked her, chuckling myself because it was too hard to ignore the joy of her laugh.
"Are we always going to do it in the forest? Or are you planning on making me comfortable one of these days?" She asked me with a smile and we were both laughing.
"I'll take care of that right away." I managed to say through my laughs.
"Oh good. I was wondering when I was going to start being appreciated." She sighed and our eyes met. A spark went through my entire body and I couldn't help but smirk and pull her face up towards mine so I could kiss her again.
"Well… That might have to wait just a little bit longer." I chuckled against her lips.
"Fine by me." She whispered back and my heart started to fly. Once again I knew that I would be with Jetta forever.
It was almost like a fairytale…

Nine Months Later
Jetta's P.O.V.
I was sweating and I was in pain…
No wait… Pain couldn't even begin to describe what I was freaking feeling.
"Come on Jetta! Push!" I heard Bella's voice nearby and as I did what she said I felt myself screaming.
"Holy Mother of God! I feel like I'm peeing out a watermelon!" I screamed and a few people laughed. But I most certainly wasn't because I wasn't kidding. It hurt like hell.
"One more time Jetta! You can do it!" Esme's voice said softly.
"You said that about a half an hour ago!" I yelled at her, but never the less I did as she said and screamed once again. But then suddenly, I felt alone. I unclenched my eyes and looked around the white room that was part of the Cullen's house hold. Gibbs, Danny, and Shawn all sat in the corner, Slater and Makayla held one of my hands while Sasha, Esme, Bella, Gemma, Alice, and Rosalie were all… down below helping out with all that shit. I heard a raspy cry and my heart immediately leapt as I saw Gemma and Bella over at another table where the noise was coming from.
"It's a girl." Sasha smiled to me and I nodded and let my head fall back against my pillow trying to calm down and relax. For the past nine months I had grown not only in size, but also grown more open. The Diamond's seemed to take me and the pack in as their own family. Sasha and Noah became almost like parental figures… I saw almost because they were never going to be able to break my spirit like normal parents. I trusted Gemma and Trace with all my heart to take care of my child.
And when Bella came over with a fuzzy pink blanket and something inside it my heart skipped a thousand beats. I held out my arms readily and looked into the most beautiful face I have ever seen in my life.
She had chocolaty brown hair and silver eyes like my own, but a tan that could only come from her father. I smiled down at the little girl in my arms and kissed her forehead. She looked up at my and we shared a silent moment to ourselves as we just looked at her. And at that moment I knew that it would be next to impossible to leave her.
"Jetta? What did you say you going to name her?" Gibbs skipped over to me with a smile on her face. I didn't take my eyes off my little girl as I spoke to Gibbs.
"Ariella Jane Sparks-Clearwater." I said to my daughter as her eyes closed and she snuggled closer to my body.
"That's such a girly name for you to choose." Shawn wondered.
"Shut your face. I like it." Slater slapped Shawn over the head earning a death glare which she ignored completely.
"I do to." I sighed and then stroked the soft cheek of my baby with my finger, hoping not to disturb her. I hardly noticed all the girls leaving and I only looked up when I heard Seth's voice.
"She's beautiful like her mother." He said with a smile and I smiled back at him. I know… I've become such a freaking softy…Well only on the outside.
"She has some of you in there too. Don't think you didn't kick in any chromosomes." I smirked at him as he lay down on the bed next to me and looked at our child. I snuggled in closer to Seth and closed my eyes. Trying not to think about what would happen in only a few hours. After this perfect moment was over. After our family was torn apart for our safety. After I was gone from my baby's life for God only knew how long.
And so you all know… It's really hard trying not to think about that stuff. But somehow I did it, and for a little while, as I lay there with Seth and my daughter my life almost seemed like a fairytale. But I knew it was just an illusion. Because there is no such thing as magic in my world. There's no such thing as fairytales.

Gemma's P.O.V.
I did not believe that anyone was more afraid of the situation we were all getting into than me. I watched from the big windows in my new room as Jetta and Seth both got into Edward's car. I had watched them both cry and as I now looked down at their baby in my arms I felt truly sad for them.
Sad, afraid, but also protective. I had made a vow to Jetta to protect her child and I would fulfill it no matter what. So as I watched the car pull out of the front yard and onto the driveway at about 80 mph and the baby began to cry, I turned away from the window and walked without hesitation into what used to be Edward's room. A baby crib was set up on the wall opposite the wall of glass and a rocking chair set up right next to the windows.
I walked over to the rocking chair and sat down in it smoothly. I began to rock the child to sleep, feeling more protective of her with every breath she took. I would make sure she was safe. And I would like to see anyone try to stop me from protecting her.
And again… I don't really feel like typing… But wasn't that sort of a cool ending? Sad ending? Amazing ending? Annoying ending? Please tell me what you thought and maybe I'll get better sooner and be able to start the next storyyyyy!!! Peace out! -Mooch
