Together (Wolves of Mercy Falls fanfiction)

Chapter One

Authors note: If you guys haven't figured it out yet, I'm a HUGE Shiver fan! I was so bummed out after I finished the last book in the series, Sinner. And it's been confirmed a while back that there will be no future books in this series. So when I decided to write my own fanfiction, I thought that continuing off of Forever would be a great place to start. If you have not read "The wolves of mercy falls," Then you might not know what this story is about or who Sam and Grace are. So if you are someone who has not read the series then I highly advise you to go check it out before reading this fanfiction. 

PS: if you are wondering why I chose to continue off of the Forever instead of the last book in the series, Sinner, it's because I feel like Sinner wasn't the best way to finish the series since it was completely based around Cole  and Isabelle, and not Sam and Grace.

ENJOY!

Sam

I couldn't believe it. Just seconds ago, I thought that I would see, Grace, my love, run off into the distance as a wolf. Never to be seen again until the seasons changed. I now knew how she felt when I shifted after the car crash nearly a whole year ago! She must have felt frightened. I was frightend too. And yet here she is, her beautiful human self. I feel no fear, just joy.

"Sam," Grace asked me. I turned to look at her face. She smiled back, her eyes seemed to glitter in the dim sunlight. She says my eyes are beautiful, heck, she should look at her own eyes once in a while. They look like they were precious diamonds!

"I don't think I will be shifting," She said. Her smile turned into a small frown and she looked down at her feet. She gripped my hand tighter. "Whats wrong Angle?" I asked with a little bit of shock. The last time I saw her this sad was when she was pouring new food into the bird feeder in her backyard after she thought that I'd never come back from the woods. 

"I'm worried," She admitted. "Last time I felt like shifting but didn't was when I was driving home from mom and dad after telling them what happend. And....well, you know what happend after that." A few tears escaped her eyes. I could sense the fear all over again. The fear of loosing each other. Just like in that massive shooting which had put an end to Becks life. No, not shooting. The murder of my pack, my family, the murder that had almost took Grace from me. I could see that the thought of shifting but being able to was destroying her. I wasn't going to let that happen. Not again. Not to MY Grace!

I gently put my hand under her chin and lifted it up so her eyes can meet mine. As soon as she saw my yellow eyes, her tears stopped. For a moment, it seemed like the whole world was standing still. Beck always told me that you can't stop time. He said that time only moves forward and that is why you must let go of the past and move on to the future. If only he was here now.

"You are not being alone anymore!" I said in a firm voice. "Not on my watch. I love you, Grace. I promise, that no matter what, I will always find a way to be together with you no matter what crazy things go our way." Grace was smiling. Time felt like it was moving again, but this time just a little big slower. Like when my Walkmans batteries were running low.

I pulled her in for a kiss. She kissed back without hesitation. "Sam, can you promise me something?"

I smiled. "Anything for you Angle." Grace let go of my hand and backed up a few inches which surprised me. "Whats wrong?" I asked. Grace shook her head no. "There is nothing wrong, just something I wan't to show you. But if I do, I need you to promise that you will always be together with me. No matter how crazy our relationship can be sometimes, you will always be here with me?"

She had a look or worry on her face. I could tell that whatever she wanted to tell me, it was clearly making her worry. I would never leave Grace! Never! I hope she will always know that. And if she is going to show me what I think she is going to be showing me, then this might be the biggest event of our lives. If so, I was ready. "I promise," I said. Graces face lit up with joy.

She gestured me to come over. I did slowly, I was nervous but had no idea why. Am I actually nervous? I never thought myself as the worried kind of person. I always thought of myself as the person who would be a main character, the one who would do anything to make things wright. Did main characters in real life worry? I suppose some do, I think. I don't know?

Grace held my hand, the warmness of her soft smooth skin made my heart tingle. Whatever she was going to show me surly had to do with our relationship. It HAD to. If not, then it must have something to do with Cole or Isabelle. Not that they weren't in love already. They were just too stubborn to admit it. 

"Sam," she unzipped her jacket. And that was kinda dangerous in our case. But I stayed calm. Grace then lifted up her sweater, not all the way like she did in bed, but just enough so I could see her belly. I have seen it before many times. But this time it seemed......off. Instead of being soft, smooth, and flat, it was soft, smooth, and bloated. Grace pulled my hand closer till it touched her belly. It indeed felt a little bit bigger, but still soft and smooth. Grace smiled as I began to rub it in a circular motion. Man this felt nice. I could do this for hours!

"I'm guessing that you already know what I was about to tell you, huh?" She said blushing a little. "I was really worried there for a second."

Her last sentence surprised me. "Worried about what?" I asked still rubbing her belly. It felt too good to stop.

"About you leaving me because of.....well, you know." She pointed at her belly. 

I stopped rubbing, just for a second. So I could pull her face closer to mine. "I'm excited. And I would NEVER leave you! No matter what happens," I whispered into her ear. 

She kissed me, I kissed her back and began to rub once more. There were only three things in my mind right now. What should we name it? Will it be a pup or a human baby, or perhaps somewhere in between? And what will Graces parents do when they find out? They were most likely gonna kill me. But then again, there is no reason for them to find out. 

At least not yet.
