Paul's POV
Half way through the movie I looked down at Jordan and found her sound asleep leaning up against me. Her father I assumed had just driven in the driveway. I had heard what her mother had said about us sleeping in the same room and I hoped her father would be nice about her falling asleep on top of me.
I heard the lock click and a blond haired man walks in the door. He put the bag that he was carrying by the door and came over to me trying to be really quiet.
He stuck his hand out to me. "You must be Paul, Spike told me he gave you permission to stay here with Jordan. Don't worry the girl can sleep through basically anything so you don't have to worry about making too much noise on her."
I took his hand very carefully still trying to make sure I didn't disturb Jordan who was on my lap. "Well we can get her into her room then I can head home?"
He looked at his watch. "Actually I don't think anyone should be walking alone out there so why don't you just sleep on the couch I can get Jordan into her room and she can sleep there tonight. She will probably be up in a few hours anyway. She normally got up with me at 5:30 to go for a run so she might be up around 2 ish in the morning and wanting to go for a run."
I shook my head. Jacob and Sam had found a blood sucker this morning when they were patrolling I didn't want Jordan going for a run at that time in the morning without me around to save her. "You aren't going to let her do that are you?"
He shook his head. "No I'm not going to let her go for a run until at least 5 and she knows that. I'm Sam Braddock by the way. Or you can call me Jordan's father."
I nodded. "Ok Sam then do you want some help getting her into her room?"
He shook his head again as he picked her up off the couch and walked towards her room he went in and came out a second later closing the door behind him. He came back out and went into the kitchen giving me a wave telling me to follow him. "So you are one of the guys that showed Jordan around the school earlier?"
I nodded. "Yes I am." I thought for a second and had an idea. If I wanted Jordan to be able to go on this thing with me it was going to take a little while before they would let her go or I could ask right now. "Um so Friday is a holiday for the school and I was wondering if that night Jordan could come out on a double date with us, that is Jared and Kim."
He was making himself a sandwich as he looked at me. He was smiling a little but it was odd. I didn't know what to think about him and I'm sure he was being the same way with me. "Ya it is okay. But usually on days like that she spends some of the day working at the station so you are going to have to pick her up."
I smiled at him stretching a little. "Well I told Jordan I'm okay with that. She mentioned it to me before we started the movie that I would have to go pick her but she got this funny grin on her face and I couldn't understand what it meant."
Sam laughed for a second. "It was kind of like a smirk really?" He paused for a second for me to nod. "Ya some of the guys there are going to bug you about it and they will be like brothers. I wouldn't worry about it though you might find out a few things about her that she wouldn't tell you normally."
I laughed for a second suddenly a little nervous. "Well that could be interesting then to see. She seems pretty quiet most of the time though."
He nodded. "Ya she is until you get to know her and she gets to know you. One of the things that you will get to see on Friday is probably the way that she will act around people that she does know and know her really well." He thought for a second before turning to look at me. "Friday we are at the station doing drills and such. We shouldn't have any calls all day so she will be around probably doing things with us. She can keep up so watch out."
I nodded. "She has math and gym with a few of the people that I know and Seth Clearwater is in her other classes. They will keep an eye on her and so will the rest of the group. She seems to fit in with us fairly well."
Sam smiled. "Well that is good. Jules will be happy to hear about that was there anything else or I'm heading to bed."
I nodded. "Actually Jared Thail, one of the guys, his girl friend was going shopping in Port Angelus tomorrow and asked if Jordan wanted to go with her. She said she would like to but she wouldn't be leaving here until about 11 so she would make it Seattle around noon when Jordan was done helping run tests on …" I paused trying to remember what they had said they were going to be doing exactly.
Sam nodded. "…Baby Cakes. It is what Spike calls the machine that we use when we find a bomb on a scene. Jordan has a mind that seems to help him when he can't get her fixed. It's been running a little crazy lately and she was supposed to help him a few weekends ago but she got busy with Clark. So it is going to happen this weekend. And as for the offer if Jordan wants to go and Jules doesn't have an issue with it then I'd say she can go."
I laughed as I went back to lie on the couch where I was before to get a little bit of sleep. Before going to sleep though I texted Jared a message:
'Jordan said she'd go with Kim tomorrow. tell her thx for me. it will work friday is also a go.'
I put the phone back in my pocket he was busy with Kim probably and wouldn't answer me back until the morning. But to my surprise a minute later my phone went off.
'that sounds great, tell her that I will get her number from quil n c her 12, ill text b4 I get there.'
I smiled at it and slowly drifted off to sleep. I felt like I'd only been asleep for like an hour when Jordan came into the living room and landed on top of me. "Good morning how did you sleep in your new room?" I asked her cheerfully.
She shrugged at me smiling. Before getting up and heading for the kitchen. She hadn't said a word this morning so far and I looked at my phone to find it was 6:30. Man I had slept in. I got up and followed her into the kitchen. "Jordan, where's the washroom?"
She smiled and walked out the kitchen door taking my hand and dragging me to a closed door down the hall. I smiled and Sam came out of the bathroom. "Hey Paul, how did you sleep?"
I smiled at him and shrugged. "It was alright. Is it alright if I use the washroom? And what is with Jordan she isn't talking this morning at all?"
"Um. She doesn't really talk that much in the morning until she takes her stuff. Give her about half an hour and she won't shut up really, you'll want this quiet." He laughed and headed for the kitchen as I went into the bathroom to use it then meet him in the kitchen again where Jordan is making herself some breakfast.
Jordan smiled at me as I saw Jules insert a syringe into a bottle of liquid and hand it to Jordan who took it. Her eyes meet Sam's for a second before looking towards me, and then to her room. Sam gave her the slightest shake of his head and then she turned back to Jules. And ran off to her room.
I smiled at Sam. "What happened to her? Why did she run off?"
Sam shrugged a little looking at me. "She doesn't like taking it in front of people she doesn't know. She'll be fine in a minute and she'll be able to talk. She was hoping to take it before you got out of the washroom but Jules was too slow putting it into the syringe. It will be ok in a minute one of us just has to make sure that she has it in her system before we can leave."
I looked at the toast that was in front of me. Jordan had put peanut butter on it and it was just sitting there. "Is this for me or for her to eat?"
Sam laughed. "She made that for you she's been up for a while and already eaten, she just wanted to make sure you were up before we headed to the station. Jules isn't going into work so you are alright to eat at your leisure but we have to get going as soon as she takes it."
I could hear Jules in the room talking quietly to her. I tried not to listen to it as most of what Jules was probably saying to her was private and I really didn't want the pack to know about this and besides I did have to get over to Sam's place for breakfast anyway this toast wasn't going to fill me. When Jules and Jordan came out of the bedroom she was smiling at me and she came over giving me a hug very softly.
"Kim'll text you when she gets close to the station in Seattle she said she'd get your number off of Quil. But if you want I'd love to have that number and put it in my phone so I can text you tomorrow and maybe we can do something."
She giggled a little as her hands roam around my body looking for the phone. She finds it and puts her number into the contacts. "I got to head out to get the stuff done. I'll see Kim around noon, Sam and Jules are both working late so any chance I can just hang with you guys tonight again?"
I nodded. "Emily would love to have another girl around in the house I promise you that. She says that us guys are too loud and she likes to have girls around to keep us inline." I looked over at Sam. "It's okay with you that she comes over for dinner at Emily's place?"
She giggled at me and gave me an extremely quick hug again than ran out the door with Sam and into the car. Sam looked at me with a huge grin on his face. "You'll be good for her and I think it might be good for her to get away from Kelly while she is here so yes I think her going over there for dinner with you guys is a good idea."
He laughed again as he followed Jordan out to the car and drove off leaving me with Jules in the kitchen.
"So you and Jordan seem to have bonded extremely quickly last night or yesterday afternoon?"
I nodded as I finished off the toast that Jordan had made for me. "Ya we did she seems really cool to hang out with. But a little quieter than most of the people in the group that I hang out with but Sam said that would go away in time as soon as she really gets to know everyone in the group." I thought about Quil and Embry for a second and then about her classes and what Sam had said about it last night. "Oh and 3 of the guys that she met last night have class with her. In fact one of the guys who showed her around the school is in her math class."
Jules smiled at me. "Well that is good. I do agree with Sam about her getting away from Kelly. That girl is the daughter of his Sergeant and well she likes to cause a bit of trouble. Don't get me wrong Jordan does like the cause trouble too it is just a little different with the two of them."
I laughed a little. "Well I have to get going I have to get to work myself and then I'll see Jordan tonight. How long did you want us to keep her over there?"
Jules smiled. "Actually I don't know if this is possible because without her stuff in the morning she really doesn't talk. But if you want she can spend the night with you. I am pulling an overnight and Sam is working and then going out with a few army buddies that are in town. So you could almost even spend the night here if you wanted, but you sleeping on the couch again."
I nodded laughing a little. "Okay we will come back here then and she can take her stuff in the morning on her own?"
"Um actually no she can't so you'll have to wait until one of us get here to help her with that but she can write everything down for you before we get here and she will talk you that way."
I nodded and left walking next door to see Jared. I got there just as Kim was leaving. "You guys need to get out on patrol Sam just called and said you're late."
She giggled as she ran over to her car. I laughed a little as I walked in the door and seen Jared just standing there looking at me. He had on a pair of cut offs and was just cleaning up from their breakfast that they had. "You know your girlfriend is massively annoying at times right?"
He shot me a warning look and then lightened it. "You know anyone else I would hit for saying that but you I know you never really do mean that."
I laughed "Oh this time I mean it apparently Sam called and said that we have to get out on patrol right now and that we are late. It was supposed to be Jacob and Seth out this morning unless something happened with either of them."
He shook his head. "No that was just Kim being herself. So how was the night with Jordan anyway?"
I looked at him. "Honestly not what I expected. I think she has had a really hard life but won't talk too much about it. She sometimes slips up and calls her parent's by their first names and not mom and dad."
He stopped for a second looking perplexed. "Wow. Well glad she's your imprint and not mine in a way. I'm glad I've known Kim all my life and that there is no awkward phase of trying to get to know one another. I think it is easier though in some ways what you get to do. You can change completely for her and possibly never have her know that was what you were like unless someone tells her."
I nodded happy about that fact as the two of us left the house running for Sam's we wanted to stay human for the run, well no I wanted to stay human for it I didn't exactly want the rest of the pack finding out about a few things and I needed to ask Emily if Jordan could come over again tonight for dinner. Usually there isn't a problem with the imprints coming over but I wanted to ask just to make sure. Then I remembered something Kim would probably take Jordan back to her house and not bring her to Emily's after they were done their day of shopping so I had to let her know to bring her here.
"Jared, you think you could text Kim and ask her to bring Jordan to Emily's house tonight after their shopping trip is done?"
Jared nodded. "Why is she eating with us again?"
I nodded to him as we walked into the house.
