Alpha Daughter

Chapter 31

Okay, sorry this has taken so long to get out. I am going back to school on Monday, so I have been busy getting everything set up. Hopefully I will have more time to type here soon. Thanks to everyone who reviewed and or favorited this story.

I'm going to share the song that inspired me on this chapter Aaliyah "Are you that somebody"

Paul's P.O.V

I pulled my imprint close to me as we sat next to the fire watching the sunset. I loved these moments I had with her. She was my world, my whole reason for being, her and the little miracles growing strong in her belly. She looked back at me and smiled, I smirked back as my heart skipped a beat.

"Stand up for a second love, I need to get up." She shivered as she moved away from me. I frowned as she stood closer to the fire. I knew it was not a good idea to bring her out here tonight.

"I'm sorry baby girl; we should have planned on a night that was warmer night." She laughed her bright eye's meeting mine.

"I'm fine Paul; it was just the shock of losing the body heat from you. I mean you are fifty degree's warmer than it is out here." She smiled tilting her head.

"Fine, but as long as I have you up I might as well ask you something." I watched as my imprints eye's grew big as I dropped down on one knee pulling out a black velvet box from my pocket.

"Paul, what are you doing?"

"What I have been meaning to do since you found out about the imprint, Andrea Athena Uley, I love you and our children with all my heart. I am going to spend the rest of my life protecting you and loving you, and then some years down the road when I take my last breath I want you to be the one I take it with." I held my breath as her eyes met mine.

"Paul, I never want anything else then to be with you. I will say yes under one condition."

"Name it and it's yours."

"Promise me your death is not something we will have to deal with till we are both old and gray."

"You know if I keep phasing that might be a very long time."

"I can only dream." She smiled as she wrapped her arms around me leaning down to kiss me.

"Is that a yes?" I asked pulling away breathless forgetting that we were surrounded by the pack and our family.

"Of course it is my silly wolf. I love you with all my heart." I couldn't keep the smile off my face as I took the ring from the little velvet box sliding it on her pretty little figure. We broke eye contact as the pack cheered for us.

I looked over at Sam whom smiled and nodded at me. He knew I had been planning this for some time. I just wanted to make it happen before the babies came.

"Well, well what a wonderful moment in my daughter's life. Glad I was here to witness it. Even if my children were more than happy to put me in prison." I felt the growl in my chest before I heard it. I knew the voice and I sure as well was not going to let him around my imprint.

"What the hell are you doing here?" Sam growled standing in front of Emily and Micah. He stared at his father with fury in his eyes.

"I'm here for Micah, and since I didn't get time with my daughter I am taking her too." Joshua laughed crossing his arms over his chest. I had never hated anyone more at that moment. Not even a vampire, I wanted nothing more than to give in to my inner wolf and phase. No one would hurt my imprint; I would die to protect her.

"No Sam, please don't let him take me. I want to stay with you and Emily." Micah yelled as Emily wrapped her arms around the scared little guy.

"Shut your mouth brat." Joshua yelled looking past Sam to Micah.

"You leave him alone, I have custody of Micah. It's up to a judge to decide if you get Micah back. But I doubt it with your convictions. How did you get out anyway?"

"Some people are sloppy with their transport, to bad I had to kill two of them to be here tonight. Now hand over the brats and I'll be on my way."

"Over my dead body." Sam growled

"I was hoping you would say that." I barely had time to push Andrea behind me as Joshua pulled out a gun shooting Sam in the chest

"Sam!" Emily yelled rushing forward to Sam, who lay motionless on the sand.

I growled, rage filling my vision as I rushed forward ready to pounce and kill the basted. That was till I saw whom he held in front of him as a little human shield. Somehow in the confusion of Sam getting shot Micah had tried to run past Joshua. Joshua held the gun to his son's head. I stayed still knowing damn well that the monster would kill the child. If he had shot Sam he would shoot Micah.

"Sam wake up." Micah screamed as tears were rolling down this face.

"Shut it you, he's dead, but just in case he's not dead." Joshua laughed aiming the gun at Sam.

"No!" Emily screamed as she covered Sam with her body.

Joshua stopped the gun slowly lowering as he looked around. The pack and I stood on four legs. I felt Andrea sink her fingers into my fur steadying my thoughts.

"Paul I want to see him dead as much as you do, but helping Sam is more important right now. Besides he needs to go back to prison." Andrea whispered to me as she kept her eyes on Joshua.

"Don't any of you freaks come any closer, I'll kill you." Joshua yelled waving the gun in front of him as the pack came closer. He pushed Micah away from him causing the little boy to crash into a furry Jared. Micah hid behind the wolf, his eye's wide with fear.

Joshua turned and ran not sure if the pack was behind him or not. Half of the pack took off after him into the woods. No one wanted to leave Sam, he was more than just our Alpha he was family to all of us.

Drea pushed past me running to Emily who knelt next to Sam, his hand clenched in her. She held her sweat shirt over the wound trying to stop the blood flow.

"Mom?" Drea asked tear's falling down her face.

"Call an ambulance Dre, we need to get him to a hospital." I phased taking the phone from my shaking imprint.

"I got it Dre, stay with Sam." I said softly as I dialed the phone. I felt numb as I watched my imprint sit next Sam, the life pouring out of him. I answered all the questions the operator asked.

Was the gunman still in the area?

No.

Was Sam awake and alert?

No again.

I pulled on my cut off's as I moved next to Drea, I pulled her close to me as we waited, the operator still on the phone. It felt like hours before we the first responders pulled up. Normally we would have just taken Sam home to heal, but he was losing to much blood, and with the hole being in the middle of his chest we were not taking any chances.

I pulled Drea closer to me and away from Sam as the medical team began to work on him.

"Why does this shit always happen to us Paul?" Drea cried as she watched the paramedics work on Sam.

"I don't know love." I wish I had an answer for her at that moment. I closed my eyes and began asking the spirits for Sam to be okay. His family needed him. His unborn son needed him.

We watched as Sam was loaded into an awaiting ambulance.

"Come on Dre, let's go up to the hospital." It worried me how quite she was being, I knew it was better then her being in hysterics. That would be terrible for the babies. Maybe that was why she was holding it together.

Drea still had not said anything as we made it to the hospital; I grabbed her close wrapping my arms around her.

"I need to find my mom." Drea said pulling away from me. I watched as she walked slowly to the nurse's station. She looked so worn down from stress. I would be lying if I said I was not worried for her.

"Excuse me? I'm looking for my mother, Emily Uley. She road in with my dad." The nurse picked up her phone calling back to the E.R. I watched as Drea looked back at me as she waited her eyes filled with tears. The nurse put down the phone looking at Dre. I rushed forward wrapping my arms around Andrea. I knew it was not good news; I refused to believe even for a moment that we had lost Sam.

"Your dad was rushed into surgery, but it seems you mom went into labor on the way here."

"What? But she's only five and a half months pregnant." I said holding my imprint tightly

"The doctors are trying to get the labor stopped." The nurse said looking back down at her charts.

"Can we see her?" Drea asked, fear pouring off of her in waves.

"Not right now, the doctors need time to do their work." Drea nodded as she walked over the chairs in the waiting room. At that moment I never had felt fear like I did now. My imprint sat down, she turned watching the now falling rain hit the window. I wanted to do something, but there was nothing I could do except be there for her.

Sam's POV

I felt like I was free, There was no pain, no fear. I watched from a far as the doctors tried to bring my broken body back to life. I watched with no emotion as the doctors tried to restart my heart. This was such a strange feeling. I was more confused than anything, I wondered out into the hall. I watched as nurses rushed around me.

There was someone I was supposed to be with, I just couldn't remember who. I walked farther till I came to an open door. The most beautiful woman I had ever seen lay in the bed, tears running down her face. My heart knew I should know her. But my brain was lost, who was she to me.

"Sam, please don't leave me." The woman whispered as new tears rolled down her face.

Emily, she was my Emily, my imprint. The mother of my unborn child, why was she in a bed? Had she been shot too? Was there something wrong with the baby because I didn't protect them better? I knew in that moment I had to go back to my body. My family needed me; I needed to know what was wrong with my imprint.

"We got him back, let's hurry and close him up before he loses any more blood."

Paul's POV

I relaxed a little bit as Andrea leaned against me. "I know things seem dark right now honey but I need you to stay strong."

She stood stretching before she stood, looking out the window.

"It's been almost three hours. When are they going to tell us something?"

"Hopefully soon, just remember love no news is good news."

"I'm sorry Paul. I'm sorry that I'm not holding it together better."

"You're fine sweet heart. Believe me I know how worried you are. I'm your imprint, I can feel what you feel."

"Andrea?" We both looked up as Dr. Cullen walked out of the E.R

"Is my dad going to be okay?" Andrea asked as soon as she looked at him.

"Come with me, I would like to discuss Sam's condition in private." I held my breath as I followed the leech doctor, praying he was not about to tell me my family would be forever shattered. We followed Carlisle down the hall to a small office. He motioned for Andrea and I to sit, I closed my eyes in silent prayer.

"Andrea, Sam made it out of surgery. But he is far from out of the woods yet. Even with his wolf healing, he is still going have a hard battle to fight."

"How long till we know if he is going to be okay?" I asked softly.

"The next twenty four hours will be critical, if he makes it threw that time period he should be okay."

"Do you know anything on how my mom is? No one will tell me anything."

"She resting right now, the contractions have slowed but they have not stopped."

"Can we see one of them?" I asked gripping Drea's hand tightly. I knew she needed one of them, maybe seeing them would help put her mind at ease.

"Sam just got moved to the I.C.U. I'll take you up to see him. With him being a wolf, we have no idea how long he will be out." Carlisle said standing opening the door for Andrea.
