Rachel's POV

Stupid Paul and he's stupid ability to make me feel like this.

I was lying in bed, trying my best not to think about him but really it was useless, the hold he has over me is incredibly annoying, I mean just him not being in the house let alone next to me has this stupid empty feeling inside of me. I even miss the way he smells, like a woods after the rain, pine needles and moss, refreshing. I was currently curled up in a ball in my bed, I'd attempted reading, writing in a journal and listening to my iPod, usual one of these putting me to sleep but not tonight. When it hit almost midnight I got out of bed and quietly tiptoed out into the hall, closing my door behind me before going into Paul's room. His scent hit me as I shut the door softly and I smiled. I walked around the piles of clothes and slid into the huge king size bed, wrapping myself up in his blankets and snuggling my face into his pillow. Now this was relaxing. I already felt my eyes begin to droop as I sighed in happiness. Thoughts of Paul turning into dreams.

I became part conscious when I heard the door open and close again. The room was pitch black but I had no doubt he could smell me. He went along, acting if I wasn't there, shuffling around the room and when I heard clothes drop my eyes widened, my body on high alert. Was he naked, did he sleep naked because that would be...so hot. No Rachel that would be bad because you might jump him! I told my mind to shut up as I let myself relax and when Paul slid in behind me and snuggled up to me I was floating in the clouds. He put his arm around me and pulled me back to him so we were in a perfect spooning position before he kissed my shoulder and my stomach did a flip. Is that love?

My eyes opened and my first thought was 'I could get used to this'. I was facing Paul with my face snuggled into his chest while one of his arms rested across me and the other was underneath his head. I peered up at him and he looked so much younger, it seems everyone did when they were sleeping. Not wanting to wake him I slid out of his hold and crept out the door, closing it quietly behind me.

"Nice sleep" Sarah's voice questioned and I jumped, spinning around with wide eyes. I stumbled over my words, trying to come up with an appropriate explanation and I was surprised when she giggled at my efforts. "You act like I'm about to skin you alive, it's okay Rachel, I know your old enough and mature enough to be able to sleep in the same bed and be quiet if it led to other things" She said and I blushed red in embarrassment.

"Uh thanks I guess" I said and she rolled her eyes and told me breakfast was on the table. I followed her down the stairs and when I sat she sighed and leaned against the table across from me. "Is everything okay" I asked and she bit her lip.

"Yes and no, the government has finally decided to start paying me for being a single parent because of the kids and that means I don't have to work so often, I can choose shifts that revolve around Paul and on weekends so I can be with the kids during the week" She shrugged and I smiled.

"That is amazing, what's so bad about that" I questioned and she frowned.

"Well I won't need you as much now, I'll probably still have the random babysitting every now and then but it won't be a full time job anymore, the pay won't be enough to get you by" She said as it finally sunk in. I needed a new job, probably a new apartment.

"That's...fine" I said slowly as I thought over something. I met Sarah's eyes and she had the look of complete and utter guilt on her face.

"I'm so sorry honey, there's still a place for you here as long as you need, you can just rent out your room or something, we can sort it out, I'm not kicking you out or anything, I just wanted to warn you, I feel horrible" She said sadly and I grabbed her hand.

"Then don't, you've been to amazing to me, and the best second mother I could have, Emily said something about a teaching job going at the high school, maybe I can even check out the local day care, don't sweat it, it's not like I could be a babysitter the rest of my life anyway" I said and she gave me a relief filled smile.

"Your one amazing girl Rachel Black, my son is lucky to have a girl like you, maybe you could even teach him a thing or two" She said and I laughed at her enthusiasm.

"Maybe, the boys will be so happy, they always say how much they want you home, Amy too" I said and she nodded.

"I guess that was the hardest part, being away from them" She said, deep in thought. I began eating the breakfast she had made and listened as Paul made his way down stairs.

"Morning sweetie" She smiled at him and he gave her a smile back before standing next to me and grabbing a piece of toast. "So Paul, what are you up to today" She asked and he eyed her suspiciously.

"Why" He said, around a mouth full of food. She began adding more to my plate for Paul and I stood up so he could sit down only for him to pull me on his lap. Sarah smiled at this before continuing.

"No reason, just wanted to know if you'd be around home today, maybe you could go show Rach…" She began but was cut off by a loud howl. Paul's eyes met mine as I looked back at him and Sarah looked at us confused.

"Sounds like the wolves are out" I said and he sighed.

"Like their ever gone, Sam will probably call a meeting about them, I'm gunna go head over there, I'll be back soon" He said, standing after I stood up.

"Why don't you take Rachel with you, Emily will most likely be there" Sarah suggested and Paul hesitated.

"Good idea, we'll see you later then" I said, taking Paul's hand while he looked down at me with a raised eyebrow.

"Take your time, have fun" She said, waving us off before heading upstairs to where Amy was calling out babbles.

"I can't take you with me" He said quietly as we heard another howl.

"Obviously, we'll drive around the corner and you can just jump out, I wanted to talk to Emily anyway" I shrugged as we walked out to the truck. We jumped in and he pulled out of the driveway.

"What do you wanna talk to Em about" He asked curiously as we rounded the corner and he pulled over near the trees.

"Just stuff" I said and he pulled me across the seat to him, giving me a quick but hungry kiss.

"I wanna hear about this 'stuff' later, or maybe tomorrow, tonight I might be a little distracted" He murmured as he kissed under my ear.

"You should go, they'll need the big bad wolf" I said, pulling away and he laughed.

"You're probably right, see you when I can" He said, another quick kiss given before he jumped out of the truck and as I slid across he pulled his shirt off and threw it at me. I blinked in surprise and met his smirk filled face as he neared the trees.

"What about the rest" I questioned, eyeing his pants and his eyes narrowed in challenge before he slipped them off and passed them through the open passenger window. I laughed as I took them from him and his eyebrows wiggled.

"Mind them for me, I'll meet you at Sam's" He said before running off, his naked body disappearing into the trees, lucky no one drove past. I started the truck and turned up the radio before driving off.

"Remember those walls I built, well baby they're tumbling down, and they didn't even put up a fight, they didn't even make a sound, I found a way to let you in, but I never really had a doubt, standing in the light of your halo, I got my angel now" I sang along as I drove. It had just started raining again so when I arrived at Em's I ran to the steps as the rain got heavier. As I was about to knock a chorus of barks and howls filled the air and fear flew through me followed by confusion, I'd never heard that reaction before. Emily opened the door, a curious look on her face as well which turned to surprise when she saw me standing there.

"Rach, what are you doing here" She questioned as she gestured for me to come inside.

"Nothing I just thought I'd come by, what's with the barks" I questioned as I took off my shoes and placed them near the door before following her into the kitchen where she had chocolate muffins waiting.

"No idea, they've never reacted like that before, I was just on my way out to see if any of them were around" She shrugged, handing me a muffin. I took a bite and caught her excited smile.

"Why so happy, I'm only eating a muffin" I said confused and self-conscious as I put it down and wiped my mouth.

"Can you keep a secret" She asked in hurried whispers and I raised an eyebrow at her.

"Yeah, why what is it" I asked as she came and sat on a stool next to me. She was pretty much glowing with happiness as her hand went down to her stomach. My eyes widened. "Em your pregnant" I gasped and she nodded her head, laughter escaping her lips.

"I found out yesterday when I went the doctors" She said and we both stood up into a hug.

"That is amazing, have you told Sam yet" I asked as she sat back down and bit into a muffin herself.

"Not yet, we had the bonfire last night and he's been worried about the pack, I just figured I'd wait till the right moment" She shrugged and I swatted her hand.

"Em, Sam will be so unbelievably happy when you tell him, gosh you're having a baby" I said and she squealed.

"I know, I just, it's so weird, knowing I have our baby in me" She said, her face flushed from excitement.

"You'll make a great mum, even though you pretty much are one with all the guys, but you're not just wolf mamma anymore" I grinned and she rolled her eyes. We heard another howl and she frowned. "Let's go check it out" I said, standing up and heading outside, Emily following me. She stood in the doorway and I stepped out into the rain, scanning the trees.

"Call out to him, if he can, he'll come" Emily called over the rain.

"Paul" I said loudly and waited but the howling continued. "Paul" I called louder and I heard the pounding of the ground getting louder.

"Here he comes" She laughed as a grey wolf bounded through the trees and came to a stop in front of me. He was huge, almost twice the size of me.

"Paul" I breathed, reaching out to touch him. He pushed his big head into my hand before his head shifted and he licked my face. "You're disgusting" I laughed, wiping my face on my top.

"He is pretty gross" I heard a familiar voice. My head looked past Paul and I was met by my little brother's mocking eyes.

"Jake" I shouted and ran to him, jumping at him in a tight hug. "Your back" I said as he hugged me back. "You idiot, don't ever run off again" I scolded, smacking the back of his head.

"Sorry sis, a man's gotta do what a man's gotta do, is that muffins I smell" He smirked as he walked over and embraced Emily in a hug.

"Sure is Mr. Black, their on the bench, save some for your brothers" She said as he walked past her with Quil and Embry flanking him. Best friends reunited. I watched Emily's face light up when she spotted Sam coming through the trees and I wondered if that's the same lovey dovey look I had when I looked at Paul. No way, Rachel Black didn't look like that did she.

"Hey beautiful" Paul's voice whispered from behind me as his arms circled around me. I felt the stupid grin come on and cursed myself internally. Yes, Rachel Black was in love, stupidly.

"Hey" I smiled, turning around to face him. He had a happy, satisfied look on his face, one I hadn't really seen before. "Why are you so happy huh" I asked, rubbing up and down his warm arms.

"I dunno" He shrugged. "I guess Jake's back now, your happier when your family's close" He said, leaning down and kissing my forehead to hide his face from me. I almost died of sweetness right in his arms.

"Just need Rebecca here and I might just break down in your arms" I said, trying to glimpse at his face.

"The first part is good, the second part I'd rather a kiss" He smirked, looking over my heading and winking to whoever was behind us. I turned to see my twin sister standing no more than ten feet away from me. Her little blue car parked behind her and her hands over the slight bump that was hanging out of her stomach.

"Hey Rach" She said softly, with a small smile on her face.

"Bec" I said, running over to her and pulling her into a top half crushing hug, being gentle about the middle part. "You're really here and you have a baby, oh my god, I'm going to be an aunty, oh little bubba" I cooed, rubbing a hand over her stomach. Both Emily and Rebecca pregnant, that means two babies!

"Yeah in just a little over 4 months" She smiled, tears in her eyes. I was embarrassed to realize I was crying as well when Jacob came over and circled both of us in his arms. "God little brother, you've grown so much" Rebecca said, laying her head on his chest.

"So have you, just in the stomach, Rachel too, but she hasn't got a baby, she's just a fatty" He smirked and I pushed away from him and punched his arm.

"Shut it Jacob or I'll get Paul to kick your ass" I snapped and he rolled his eyes.

"Yeah right" He muttered before looking over at Paul. I caught Bec's smirk and raised an eyebrow.

"So Paul huh, would that be the hottie you were cuddling before you saw me" She questioned and I bit my lip and nodded.

"Yeah, he's my uh boyfriend" I said and she looked past me to check him out before nodding in approval.

"So how long are you staying, have you seen dad yet" I asked and she hesitated to meet my eyes, instead she looked down at her hands.

"Actually I was planning on staying for a while, maybe six months or so" She said and I frowned.

"That's a long time, is Brad here as well" I asked and then noticed the ring was missing on her ring finger.

"No, he's busy" She said and moved her left hand out of sight. "Just me, or us" She said and I saw Jake scanning her face as she touched her belly again.

"Six months, what about the baby, will he be here for the birth" Jake asked and she shrugged, brushing it off like it was nothing.

"Who knows, I gotta go see Dad, youse coming" She questioned and Jacob offered to drive her over. "Rach" She asked and I nodded.

"Give me one second" I said, running over to the front door where everyone was. I saw Paul smiling as he stepped to the front and I jumped at him, giving him a long smooch before peppering his face with kisses. "Your amazing, come get me in an hour" I said and he nodded, putting me back on my feet before I ran back to the car. "Oh, Paul" I called and he looked over his shoulder. "Catch" I said and threw his keys, watching him catch them easily before smirking at me. I blew him a kiss before sliding into the back seat with Bec's bags and we headed home.

Dad almost fainted when Jake walked through the door followed by me then Rebecca. I even saw tears in his eyes when they both hugged him, saying how much they missed him. Then Rebecca said he was going to have a grand baby and he did cry which made Rebecca cry which made me cry and Jake roll his eyes.

"Big bunch of babies" He muttered before we all hung out in the lounge room and talked about, well everything. I told Rebecca about Paul, she told us about the baby, Jake told us about his trip and dad told us how much it meant for everyone to be back. Jake had patrol, which Rebecca thought was 'working' and Dad asked me to help Bec with her room, set it up and stuff. As we sat in the room I helped her pack her clothes away and hang up some pictures and change the sheets.

"So you and Paul seem pretty lovey dovey" She said conversationally as she folded clothes.

"Yeah, he's pretty amazing" I shrugged, a small smile on my lips.

"I'm happy for you" She said and I thanked her before stopping so I could watch her reaction to my next question.

"What happened between you and Brad" I asked and her body froze before she continued.

"Just having a break" She shrugged and I snorted.

"Yeah right" I muttered and she met my eyes. "The truth" I asked and she sighed.

"I don't really know, everything was going fine and we had talked about kids and he had said he wanted them and so when I got pregnant I figured he'd be, well you know, happy. But he wasn't, he told me he didn't want it and then started going on about how it would ruin my figure and make me ugly and even when I was crying he said we could just kill it" She took a breath as she breathed. "Then I slapped him and told him he was a murderer before he left to go for a surf with his mates, when he got back he said maybe we got together to young and that he still wanted to live a little before settling then asked me to leave" She said, shrugging as if it wasn't killing her inside.

"That jerk" I spat and she cringed. "I'll kill him, who the hell does he think he is, he's worse than fucking Bella Swan" I growled and she raised an eyebrow.

"The same Bella we use to hang out with when we were little, what's wrong with her" She questioned and I snorted.

"What isn't, the bitch was the reason our little brother disappeared, broke his heart" I said in disgust when Bec raised her eyebrows.

"That's some pure hatred" She said and I rolled my eyes.

"Tell me about it, I had to pretty much had to put her in lock down so she wouldn't kill her" Paul's voice came from the doorway. Both our eyes shot over to him and Bec smirked as I glared.

"Did you use the good old tie her to the bed technique" Rebecca winked over at him and he laughed.

"If only she'd let me" He said, smirking down at me.

"Well why don't you two just go try it out together, since I won't do it" I said angrily, trying to screw the stupid old lamp together.

"Babe, she's pregnant, that's just wrong" Paul said and they both laughed in amusement.

"Babe, she's pregnant, that's just wrong" I mimicked in a horrible version of Paul's voice. "Stupid lamp" I hissed, the anger was caging me in. Bella, Brad, Paul's dad… People who have hurt my family shouldn't be able to get away with it.

"You know you can go now Rach, I think I can handle the rest myself, are you and Paul coming back for dinner, I'm gunna make pasta" Bec said as their laughter died down.

"Sounds yum" Paul said encouragingly.

"Yeah it was mums recipe, amazing" She replied and my back stiffened when she mentioned our mother.

"Is" I said, turning to face her. They both gave me confused looks

"What" She said, her eyebrows furrowing.

"It is her recipe, not was, IS" I snapped and her eyes widened.

"I didn't mean it like that Rach, I was…" She began but I cut her off.

"Sure, let's just take her recipe, I mean she's dead, she wouldn't mind because she doesn't have a choice right" I snapped again and Rebecca blinked back tears, again.

"I didn't mean it like that" She said quietly and guilt washed over me as soon as I saw her face.

"I know, I'm sorry, we'll be here for dinner" I said apologetically before walking past Paul and out of the room. I said goodbye to dad then headed out to the car, rubbing my eyes while I waited for him to come.

"Rach" Paul questioned when we were both seated in the car and I shook my head, not meeting his eyes.

"Can we just drive" I asked.

"No, look at me" He said and I slowly met his eyes.

"I hate them" I said and he raised an eyebrow.

"Who" He questioned.

"Them, Bella, Brad, your Dad, all of them" I sighed and his eyes studied me.

"I hate them too" He said and I felt a smile tug up my face, the anger slowly fading away.

"Paul, I think we should go the beach" I said and his face turned to confusion at the sudden change of topic.

"Um, okay" He said, starting the truck and heading towards the beach. As we pulled up it was deserted, just as I hoped it would be before I climbed out. I heard him get out after me before I walked ahead down the beach, ignoring the fall of the rain. "Rach, where are you going" He asked as he followed me to the corner of the beach where the water met the sand and the rocks covered you from sight. I turned to face him; he was still a few meters behind me, before pulling my shirt off. He stopped as his eyes searched over me hungrily. I smiled and popped open the button of my shorts before shimming them down over my hips and down my thighs before stepping out of them, leaving me in my underwear, black boy legs and a purple and black laced bra. I stepped towards him and his eyes continued to stare at me. My hands gripped the bottom of his shirt and I tugged it.

"Paul, take your shirt off" I said in a low voice and he blinked, his eye looking up to my face.

"Huh" He said, earning a smile from me.

"You shirt" I said and he looked down at my hands as they travelled underneath the shirt to run across his stomach. His eyes fluttered closed as I used my nails and I continued to smile. I pulled the shirt up and he complied by putting his arms up and I pulled it over his head. I stepped closer so we were pressed up against each other and felt him already hard, pressing against me just in line with my hips. He growled as I went on my tiptoes to grind into him and his hands fell on my hips, his eyes opening to reveal darkness.

"I wouldn't" He said and I smirked evilly.

"What can't handle it Paulie" I pouted and his eyes fell on my bottom lip before he took it between his teeth and I let out a squeak. His hands came around and cupped my butt before lifting me slightly and pressing himself into me. My legs automatically hooked around his hips as my body ached for more friction and I let out a moan when he grinded into me again, this time pressing right against my throbbing ache. He released my lip and my tongue automatically licked over the abandoned spot. My nipples were hard as I pressed them into his chest.

"I can handle it Rach, but can you" He questioned and I met the challenge in his eyes. I'm pretty sure mine reflected the same back because my hand slid off his shoulder and made its way towards the top of his cut offs, sliding under them and wrapping around him. He bucked as he hissed out and I smirked.

"Like a virgin, touched for the very first time" I sang teasingly and he grabbed my wrist, pulling my hand out. Just before I was about to protest my back was against the sand and he was hovering over me, his mouth attacking my neck. My giggles turned into gasps when his hands cupped my boobs, pushing the lace aside so his calloused thumbs stroked and pinched my nipples. "Paul" I gasped, lust and worry of being caught tangling together. He didn't answer me; instead he kissed his way down to my chest before taking a nipple in his mouth, the other hand mimicking his tongues movements. My eyes rolled into the back of my head and all of a sudden his mouth and hands stopped before the other hand slid down my stomach and into my undies. As soon as his fingers brushed over my center my hips bucked and he smirked down at me before he slid a finger inside me and I whimpered at the contact. He added another finger and began to pump in and out as my fingers dug into his shoulders.

"Rach relax" His husky voice said and my fingers only dug in deeper before I embarrassingly waved the ride of my first orgasm, I can't believe I fell so quickly, I mean he wasn't doing it for that long. My head collapsed against the sand and my eyes blinked open to see him staring down at me, amusement on his lips. "That was fucking sexy" He said, leaning down to kiss my lips before his fingers slid out of me. I whimpered at the loss of contact which only made him smirk more.

"What's with you, me and this beach huh" I said breathlessly and he laughed.

"No idea, I'm sorry I went so fast, I got carried away" He said and I snorted. Great, really sexy Rach.

"It was incredible, I just wish I would have, you know" I muttered, my cheeks flushing red.

"A lot of sexual frustration built up" He shrugged and my eyes travelled down to the bulge in his pants. His eyes followed mine and then he hissed when I cupped him. "Maybe now's not the best time to take care of…that" He said and I grinned.

"I think it's the perfect time" I said, slowly unzipping and unbuttoning his shorts.

"Rach, we're going to yours for dinner, I don't want to have, uh, noticeable evidence" he said through his teeth as I pulled him out. "Fuck" He cursed when my hand wrapped around him. "Babe" He grunted.

"There's no need for mess if we reposition" I said suggestively, raising an eyebrow and his eyes almost fell out of his head.

"You mean you want to…" He trailed off in question and I shrugged. "I can't let you do that, it's not fair" He said and I rolled my eyes.

"Roll on your back Paul" I said, fixing my bra as he obeyed. I got up and straddled him. "One second" I said and pushed myself into his bare hard on, the only thing stopping us was the tiny barrier of cotton. We both groaned before I slid my way down and positioned myself correctly. I looked up at him and his eyes were dark again as he watched me. I winked before I grabbed him and slipped my mouth over him. His hips jerked and pushed him down further into my throat and I let myself adjust before taking on more of him. I moved my tongue around and sucked, continuing to move as he pulsed in my mouth. His hands had come to grip my hair and I bit down gently on him and that was it, he exploded his liquid running down my throat. When he was finished I broke contact and sat up to find his eyes closed.

"I think I just died and went to heaven" He mumbled and I laughed, making his eyes open. "You are way too beautiful" He said, his hand reaching out to stroke my cheek.

"What because I just gave you a blow job on the beach" I taunted and he shook his head.

"No, that was great but you really are beautiful" He said, showing me a huge grin. We both put our clothes back on before we headed back to the truck where we sat with the heater on for a few minutes, for my benefit of course. I was shuddering and Paul pulled me into his side, tucking me against the torso he had decided to leave shirtless. His body heat removed the chattering almost immediately and I sighed happily into his side.

As we headed back to mine, Paul's arm around my shoulder, I wondered if Sarah had told him that I was no longer working for her, I mean he didn't look like he knew and she was pretty quick to offer me out the smorning when we were talking. Even though she had offered me to rent out the room I figure it's time for me to find my own place anyway, maybe Beck's might wanna move out with me or something, I didn't know if Paul would want to, with his mum and the kids on their own, especially after the scare with his Dad the other day with Riley, I guess time will tell but for now I had to find a job, sooner rather than later.

A/N- This took me forever to write, I'm worried because I haven't really written a full fledge lemon before, please tell me what you thought, was it good or bad, I'll get the next chapter up as soon as I can, study hard those who are finishing school!
