I woke up from my sleep and stretched. I felt a big weight on top of me. I looked down and saw Paul's adorable sleeping face. He must have shifted position while sleeping; his head was now resting on my chest.

I ran my hands through his hair softly; he looked so peaceful when he was asleep. He stirred but resumed back to his light snoring. I smiled and ran my hands up and down his bare back. He moaned and buried his face into my chest.

I giggled and pulled at his hair slightly. He still had his eyes closed but he growled. I could feel the vibrations on my chest.

"Lahote? Babe? Get up. I need to shower and get breakfast. I'm starving. You wore me out last night" I whispered stroking his hair. He mumbled. "What was that?"

"I said I don't want to move. I'm too comfortable" he said opening his eyes slightly to look at me. His eyes widened as his eyes wandered to my neck. I looked at him confused.

"What's wrong Paul? Is something on my neck?" I asked reaching a hand up to feel my neck. I winched at a slight pain. I burrowed my eyebrows in confusion.

I looked up at Paul and he wasn't there. I looked around and saw him huddled up in a corner. What happened? He seemed to be muttering to himself.

I crawled off the bed and walked towards him, I lay a soft hand on his arm. He flinched away. I felt my heart sink.

"Paul? What's going on? Don't scare me" I whimpered. He looked up at me with pain in his eyes.

"I hurt you Swan. I'm so sorry. I'm so so sorry" he whispered.

"No you didn't. I'm fine sweetheart" I smiled weakly at him.

"No Swan. I did. You have a bruise on your mark. I guess I bit too hard. Fuck I'm so sorry Swan" he said brushing a finger against my mark. I didn't even wince this time.

"Paul it's ok. It doesn't hurt anymore. Plus I heal fast, the bruise will be gone before tomorrow" I said nudging myself closer to him.

He instantly wrapped an arm around my shoulder and pulled me closer. He rubbed his face into the nap of my neck and inhaled my scent.

I just buried my face into his neck and sighed. We stayed in the embrace for a bit longer before I started to pull away and got up.

"Come on Paul. We need to shower and get breakfast. I'm starving" I pouted. He just got up wrapped my body in a big towel. Before he scooped me up and ran for the bathroom with me squealing on the way. "I can walk you know Paul"

"I know you can Swan. But I just wanted to carry you" he grinned down at me.

I turned on the shower while discarding my towel. I started soaping my body before Paul entered the shower and started scrubbing my back. We just stood there washing each other's back and sharing a sweet kiss every now and again.

We both dried and wrapped ourselves into big towels again before running back to my room to get changed. I didn't see if anyone downstairs could see us run to my room.

I walked to my drawers and pulled out a pair a cut-offs for Paul. He had a few pairs in case he needed to change while he was here. I pulled out a blue bra with matching underwear.

I decided to wear long skinny jeans and a simple white t-shirt before putting my hair up in pigtails. Sometimes I hate my hair long, still debating whether or not I should cut it short but I probably will miss my long hair too much. I decided to wear black boots that reached halfway up the calves.

I turned round and Paul was just wearing his cut-off shorts barefoot. I guess he wasn't going to wear any shoes today. I gave him a peck on the lips before I headed down the stairs with my hand clasped in his.

We made our way the kitchen and the pack were still here. Maybe they lounged on the couch and the guest rooms. Shit I forgot they were still here. No doubt they heard us making sex. Oh man this is gonna be embarrassing.

"Morning guys" I greeted smiling at them. Everyone was finishing their food. Well it seemed I had to make the food then.

"Wow morning to you too Bella. You're glowing. We know you got some last night" Kim said waggling her eyebrows giving me a knowing look.

"Oh god. We weren't that loud were we?" everyone just raised an eyebrow with a look that said: what do you think? I just looked down and blushed.

I turned back to Paul and he wasn't there. I looked around the kitchen and he was standing at the stove making food. I grinned and walked up behind him. I lay my hands on his shoulders and kiss his back in between his shoulder blades.

I walked towards the dining table and sat down. I started chatting to the pack as I waited for Paul to make breakfast for a change.

"So guys, what's up? Did y'all stay the night?" I said starting a conversation.

"Nothing much. We were a bit disturbed by what we were hearing last night. Yeah we stayed the night. We had a bit too much to drink. So we took up the living room and the guest bedrooms" Emily smiled. Charlie grunted.

"I'm not happy to hear that while I'm in the house Bells. I know you want to christen your bedroom and the bathroom. But do you think next time you can do your thing with Lahote when no one else is in the house? Please? I don't want any imagery flowing into my head again" he said pleading me as he shuddered. Elena held his hand and drew comfortable circles with her thumb; I rolled my eyes and snorted.

"Sure dad. Same goes for you and your imprint. Make sure the coast is clear hmm" I said looking away from them.

The atmosphere of the dining table became awkward after I said that. Paul came to the rescue when he piled a lot of food onto the dining table. I smiled at him in thanks before we dug in. Quil was sneaking a hand towards the food and shoved food into his mouth before he looked away.

"Quil if you were really that hungry, you could have just said. I'll go and make some of food. Anyone else want any food? Just so I don't have to go back a few more times you know" I said shrugging. The wolves all grinned at me and I realised they were all still very hungry. I muttered to myself as I walked towards the fridge and cupboards. The pack hollered their thanks, I just rolled my eyes.

I lost track of how much food I had made for the pack and myself. I walked back and forth a few times to put all the food on the table. Paul had put a plate of the food he made aside for me and I leaned over and gave him a peck on the cheek. He just smiled at me before he went back to his food.

I didn't want to leave the house today. I was comfortable in the house. I was dreading today. I was going with Charlie to go and identify the body. It'll be hard; I hope Paul can come with me.

"Paul? Are you free today? Will you come with us today? Please?" I pleaded him. He wrapped an arm around my shoulder pulling me towards him and kissed me on the temple softly.

"I've got patrol tonight Swan but I can come with you today. I'll offer you support whenever you need it Swan. Just call my name and I'll be there for you" he replied.

"It means so much to me Paul" I smiled at his gratefully.

"Anytime Swan. I'll be here for you until you tell me that you don't want me anymore" he said softly.

"Nay uh. You are stuck with me for life. I won't get sick of you" I smiled at him before I turned back to my food.

We finished the food and the imprinted tidied up the table before starting to clean the dishes. It was still early in the day so we decided to watch TV before we made burgers and steaks for lunch. Us wolves were already hungry. High metabolism I suppose.

I glanced at the clock during lunch and it was around 1pm. We had to leave in around three and a half hours. Did I mention that I was dreading this?

Paul always made sure that he was close to me or he would always have an arm around my shoulder. I'm so glad he's going to be coming with us.

After watching TV for a while, there wasn't anything good on so we just let the TV on but we had our own banters. It was good; it kept my mind off things for the time being.

I sighed as I looked at the clock, it was around 4pm. We had to leave in about half an hr. I have to stay strong.

I looked away from the clock and when I looked back, it was 4:30pm already. I sighed as Charlie started to get up.

"Come on Bells. We gotta go" he sighed sadly. I wrapped my arms around his waist and squeezed him slightly. He squeezed back before dropping a kiss on the top of my head.

"Right. We can do this dad. Let's go" I said before turning back to Paul. He was already making his way from the couch towards me.

"You ready Swan? I'll drive" he said wrapping an arm around my waist and leading me towards his truck.

I slid into the passenger side but slid further so that I was in the middle seat. So I was right next to Paul. He rested his arm around my shoulder and I leaned my head on his shoulder as he drove to the morgue.

Charlie was in the car behind us, with Elena and Embry. I didn't mind Embry but last night make me dislike Elena slightly. I don't actually know why.

I mean the woman hasn't even done anything wrong. Maybe it's the imprint. I feel like she's going to steal my dad away from me. But I guess I understand how Charlie feels, he's in the same position. He thinks that Paul is going to steal me away from him, especially after the double imprinting. But he will always be my family, he knows that. Or at least I think he does.

The ride to the morgue was silent. The ride lasted around twenty minutes. Before I knew it, we were parking up at the morgue car park. My heart sank. It was starting to feel real.

Paul got out the car turning back to face me and held out his hand for me to take. I took a deep breath before I got out the car. I clung to him as we walked towards the entrance. Charlie not far behind us.

The morgue made me shiver. There was this eerie feeling about it. I didn't like it. We slowly walked towards the morgue entrance.

It was cold when we walked in. I shuddered. There was an officer sitting near the entrance. He looked up when he heard the door open. His head snapped up so fast I thought he was inhuman. Was he a wolf too? He had russet skin like the rest of us wolves.

"Excuse me? Officer? Would you happen to be Officer Pratt?" I asked in a small voice. He cleared his throat before answering.

"You must be Miss Swan. My name is Officer Pratt. You can call me Brian. We from the Phoenix police department are terribly sorry for your loss. The guys from the department send their condolences" he said bowing his head.

"Of course. Thank you Brian. We are thankful for what you guys have done. Especially having an officer escorting my ex-wife's body. I really appreciate it. Thank you" Charlie said with a grateful look, sending Brian a weak smile.

"Yes sir. Please follow me. She's right this way" he said before turning to walk down a long hall and turning right into some double doors. I felt a shiver.

I gulped and I could feel the tears fogging up my vision. We followed him slowly. I walked to turn round and run away. But I couldn't. I had to see.

We reached the double doors and I looked back at Charlie with a frightened look. He gave me a reassuring look and nodded his head slightly.

I walked towards Charlie and grabbed his hand before we walked into the room together. As soon as I looked in the room, I collapsed to my knees on the ground sobbing.

Paul was kneeling on the ground next to me rocking me back and forth as I sobbed still staring at the body on the table. No, it couldn't be. It was real. My mother was gone. It was Phil's fault. Paul was whispering soothing words in my ear, but I didn't acknowledge what he was saying.

I looked up to look at Charlie with difficulty. My eyes were fogged up with tears. Charlie had silent tears strolling down his face. He was leaning over the table stroking Renee's now forever cold cheeks.

"Brian, please tell me that the man responsible for my mother's death is sentenced to jail for the rest of his life. Please tell me he's going to be rotting in jail" I begged.

"He has be sentenced to jail for the rest of his life ma'am. He won't be coming out of jail. It sickens me to know what he has done to such an innocent woman" he said shaking his head in disgust.

I nodded before I started to get to my feet. Paul helped me to my feet as I swayed slightly. I slowly walked towards the table. My mother's cold body was there. I looked at her face and the wounds would make you feel sick.

I looked at her body and it was all too much. I felt my mind shut down. I felt my body hit the floor. Then I was out cold.

A/N: sorry it's a bit rushed. Sorry I haven't updated for the past three days or something. I've been trying to find the motivation to write this chapter! Right off to bed now. Good night!
