Swan Goin' Wolf

Hope

 I laid in bed the next morning just looking at the ring and how it shimmer in the light. I was hyper aware of it even in my sleep. The little weight on my finger seemed to make all the difference at the moment. I was surprised that Sam hadn't gotten me a traditional engagement ring, but this felt more special than any plain old diamond ring. The yellow stone made it personal to me and I loved that Sam had thought of it.

"No matter how much you stare at it, it's not going to change." Sam mumbled as he nuzzled his face into my hair and I smiled.

"What made you think to get a yellow stone?" I asked and Sam chuckled.

"I've learned to never expect the expected with you. You told me your favorite color was yellow. I thought a yellow stone with the traditional twist of the diamonds around it would be unexpected enough for you and traditional enough for our parents." He said and I smiled rolling over to face him and kissing him.

"It's perfect. You couldn't have done any better." I said and Sam smirked.

"I think I finally figured you out." Sam said and I laughed.

"Okay. What date am I thinking about for our wedding?" I asked. Sam looked a little stomped.

"Halloween?" Sam asked looking a little concerned.

"No." I laughed and shook my head. Sam sighed in relief before joining me in my laughter.

"I wouldn't go that far. A day for the dead is not my ideal date for my wedding." I said and Sam looked at me questioningly.

"What date did you have in mind?" Sam asked as he pulled me closer.

"October 19th." I said and Sam raised an eyebrow.

"Why October 19th?" Sam asked.

"The first day I saw you on the beach, the day you imprinted on me." I said and Sam smiled.

"Sounds perfect. This year or next?" He asked and I thought about it for a minute. There's still eight months till October. Do you you want a large or small wedding? That's the only thing that would effect the date." I said.

"Small. Both of our families are small, the pack and the elders. You could invite anyone you want." Sam said and I smiled.

"Then it's set. We'll be married October 19th, 2007." I said with a smile and Sam smiled leaning down to kiss me. We were interrupted by a loud banging on the door. I broke away startled while Sam growled lowly.

"Looks like our day off is over." He muttered and climbed out of bed pulling on a pair of shorts before stalking out of the room. I sighed before getting up and gathering some clothes and going into the bathroom.

Jared was talking with Sam, Kim by his side when I came into the kitchen. Kim was so shy. She barely said a word to any of the other guys, merely standing by Jared or chatting with me. I figured the more she hung out with us the more she would open up and come out of her shell, but it was all slow going with her.

"Morning Kim, Jare." I said and headed to the coffee pot to pour myself a cup.

"Morning." They replied with a smile.

"What brings the two of you here so early?" I asked as I took a sip from the mug.

"I little birdie told me that there was an important question asked that last." Kim said softly with a smile as she glance toward my left hand that was covered with my right as it sat on the counter. I raised an eyebrow as I glanced at Sam.

"Oh really? What question would that be?" I asked pretending to be confused.

"Now don't josh us. We know he asked." Jared said with a small glare. I stared at him wide eyed.
