Alpha Daughter Chapter 24

PAUL'S POV

Pain is all I could feel. It fusterated me more then anything that I was not able to move. Or maybe it was really the fact that I could not protect my mate. I was able to relax a moments as her fingers stoked through my fur. I loved it that she was worried enough to stay by my side. I growled as she shivered before snuggling into my side.

"Relax Paul. She's not going to leave you, especially since you quit breathing there for a minute." Jake said from the door.

'I know, but I don't have to be happy about her being cold."

"She's not cold dude if she's snuggled up to you." I growled closeing my eyes. Damn leechs I am so going to tare every last one of them up for this shit. i can't even protect my mate and pups. That's a fate worse then death.

DREA'S POV

Two days had past with no change in Paul, as more time past I felt more like I was going to lose him. No this could not happen, I would not lose him. He is going to be here to help me raise our babies.

I shook my head as I finished my breakfast, eager to head back out to the barn. Dad had theatened to drag me in to the house to eat with Paul's blessing to do so. Grrr...I really hated that almost everyone knew what was going through my wolf's mind and I didn't. I couldn't wait for the mind reading leech to get here so I had some link to what my boyfriend was thinking. Boyfriend, that really didn't feel like the correct term for what Paul and I had together. It was so much more, I know one thing is for sure as soon as he is better I am moving in with him permanently. There will be none of this crap with dad not letting me stay here.

I looked up as a car pulled in the driveway. I prayed that it was Dr. Leech and not the one person I really didn't want to explain this to, Paul's mother. She would flip if she found out her son was stuck in wolf form.

I sighed with relief, Dr. Cullen's car was pulled up next to the barn. I closed my eyes and prayed for a moment. I am not normally one to pray to the spirits but right now I prayed that Cullen had some answers for us, or better yet a solution. Seth met me half way to the barn with a grim look on his face.

"Seth what's the matter? Please don't tell me the Doctor can't help Paul."

"No Dre it's worse then that."

"What?" I cried my voice shaky. I didn't notice my knees had given out from under me. I just remember Seth's strong arms wrapping around me.

"Dre there is still hope for Paul. Let's go see what the doctor has to say. You need to stay strong for Paul." He said as he held me up so I wouldn't fall down.

"I know. The last thing he needs is to see me like this." Seth held on to me as we made our way over to the barn. Nothing had changed except mom was holding onto dad crying. He looked at me shaking his head, I knew then it was not good. Dr. Cullen looked at me as I walked into the barn.

"Please tell me you can help him, he's my life I can't servive without him." I whispered as tears slipped from my eyes.

"Andrea, I found the toxin in his blood. It is a neurotoxin that is controlling his brain. But the problem is, this type of toxin is deadly if his body does not rid its self of it. Normally the person infected lives for about ten days." He said solemnly.

"Is there anything that can be done for him?" I asked sinking down next to Paul, picking up his large head laying it in my lap. I stroked his fur and the tears fell from my eyes into his fur.

"Please fight Paul. I need you. I can't live without you." I whispered to him.

"He said he does not want to leave you either, he loves you to much." I looked up at the other vampire I hadn't even noticed before, he must be the mind reading one.

"Thank you." I whispered to the vampire. I did not trust my voice knowing it would crack from crying.

"Your welcome, Paul wants to know if you will go stay at your dads. He does not want you to watch him die." He said after a few moments.

"No Paul, I'm not leaving you because you are not dying. You promised me you would always be here to protect me and I'm holding you to that promise. You mean the world to me Paul." I looked up at the vampire doctor, tears bright in my eyes "Please isn't there anything you can do for him?"

"I've already given Paul a shot, that is his best hope. I've only heard of this toxin being in a few cases, it's very rare. It was in the Amazon where there was not much help to be found,

and as soon as the patient made it to a hospital, they were administered with antitoxin. A few hours after the antitoxin was given the patient began to regain mobility. It has not been proven if that persons body had fought off the toxin or if the antitoxen really helped.

All we can do is wait and see. I'm sorry I can't help more." He said placing a gentle hand on my shoulder.

I nodded turning my attention back to Paul, "Please fight baby. You have so much to live for."

"He say's he trying. He wants you to know if he does lose this fight it's not his choice to leave you. He wants you both to live a really long life together with many children. Not just the two you are pregnant with now."

"I want the same thing Paul." I said as I leaned down kissing his massive head. He made the noise all La Push wolfs made when they were content. A noise that reminded me of a cat purring.

"Awww I love it when you purr Paul, it's so sweet." I laughed scratching him behind the ear's.

"He's said for your information wolves don't purr, and they are not cute." Edward laughed looking between Paul and me. I couldn't help but giggle myself as Paul playfully growled at us.

"Paul if you could rate the amount of pain your are in, 10 being the worst pain of your life,what would it be?" Carlisle asked.

"He says a five right now, it's mostly his limps legs that hurt." Edward said for Paul.

"Probably from being in one position for so long. Paul does it hurt more if I move you leg?" Charlise asked as he gently stretched out the wolf's leg a few times.

"He said it hurt more at first but it's starting to feel better now that the leg's being moved."

"Okay Paul I'm going to help you stretch out a little bit, if the pain becomes to much let me know and I'll stop." My wolf growled as Edward nodded.

"He said he'll let you know but I'm not going to repeat the rest, not with there being a lady in the room." Edward said giving me a kind smile.

"Can I help?" I asked as I stroked my wolf's fur.

"Sure, I bet he would like that." Carlisle said as he showed me how to help Paul.

"He does, but again I am not repeating what else he would like you to do." Edward said said looking away. If vampires could blush, I would say that Edward would have looked like a tomatoe.

"Paul!" I gasped as all the phased wolf's in the room barked there laughter. I looked back at my dad and smiled. "I am really glad you are not phased right now."

"You not the only one pup, I would hate to have to kill Paul when he is fighting for his life." I laughed as I reached down gently grabbing Paul's front leg stretching it out gently, I looked over the the doctors son. "Am I hurting him?"

"No, he says it feels good." He said smiling.

I helped him stretch for about ten mintues before the doc gave Paul some more pain medication making his drowzy. At first I had been a little worried watching his eyes grow heavy until Carlisle reassured me it was only a side effect of the medication. I snuggled up to Paul's side as he slept, his warmth keeping away the winter chill. I was startled awake as Dad laid a blanket over me.

"Go back to sleep sweet heart, Paul's still sleeping you might as well get some more sleep as well." He said before kissing my forehead. I nodded as I yawned snuggling back into my handsome wolf. I was almost asleep when I heard Carlisle tell my dad if Paul did not phase back by mid day tomorrow, any family he might have should be contacted. I squeezed my eyes shut to stop the tears from flowing. I would not lose him, it just could not happen.

I awoke again to Paul whining loudly. I shot up moving next to my handsome wolf. I gently picked up his head setting it in my lap. It was then I notice the most wonderful thing in the world. Paul's back legs were moving just a little bit. I bit my lip to keep from smiling. I looked up at the doctor confused.

"Whats happening to him?" I asked worried.

"We think he is trying to phase back." I looked down at Paul as he whimpered. I stroked his head till he finally relaxed.

"It's okay sweetheart. Don't get frustrated you made improvement by moving you legs. I'm sure phasing will come soon enough." He growled moving his legs slightly. I looked up as I felt a cold nose nudge against my neck. I smiled at my dad as he laid next to Paul in his wolf form.

"Your dad and Paul both would like you to go inside and try to get some rest."

"No way I'm not leaving him, I thought we had been over this. I am not leaving and that's final." I said trying to stand my ground.

"Paul says he'll have one of the other wolves carry you in." Edward stated while leaning against the wall.

"No Paul." I growled tears now flowing freely from my eyes.

I jumped as I felt warm arms wrap around me. Jake had scooped me up into his arms. I swated him, and demanded he put me down. I contuinued to fight Jake till we got to the entrance of the barn.

"Dre." Jake and I stopped moving as we both heard my name called. My breath caught in my throat as I wiggled form Jake to put me down.

I ran as soon as he let me go back into the barn, back to my Paul who now laid naked as the day he was born.

"Paul!" I cried as I laid next to him pulling him into my arm's not caring how naked he was or that my dad was watching us.

"Dre..." Paul whispered his eyes half open.

"Love how do you feel?" I asked with a happy smile on my face.

"Still can't move." He said softly.

"No but at least you phased back, that is a step in the right direction." I said trying to reassure him.

"Dre, I want you to head into the house, get Paul some shorts." My dad asked.

"Dre needs to go inside and stay there, I don't need her getting sick and putting our babies at risk." Paul said roughly

"That won't be an issue Paul, we'll bring you inside as well." Dad said as he motioned for me to go get the shorts. I sprinted to house thankful that I was not to pregnant that I couldn't run. Mom stood up as I tore through the house disappearing into Pauls and my room. I could hear her yelling at me demanding to know what was going on.

"Paul phased back." I said with a smile as I passed her and walked back out to the barn with Paul's shorts in hand. I felt like this was a sign that everything was going to be okay. I just hoped that his phasing meant he was getting better.

Like aways please review. I love reading them.
