"It's too bad you're leaving. I think Paul had a little thing for you." Janessa said helping me pack my stuff up. I chuckled, "I wouldn't deny he is a good looking man, and very genuinely nice." Paul, Embry and Jared were coming in and out of the apartment, gathering all my stuff. I had said goodbye to new Paul thanking him for everything the night before and he told me if I ever need a place to stay that his home was always open. I knew he would make a woman really happy someday. Without my Paul noticing, I have old Paul my number. After all, in just one night he helped me so much and I felt he was sort of a friend now. "So your Paul is the real deal huh?" She asked taping up a box and setting it by the others. I smiled "He is. I can't believe he put in all that effort to find me." She laughed "yeah he scared the shit out of me coming into the bar fluke that....... promise me you will keep in touch and come visit every now and then. You were the first roommate I could stand sharing this apartment with." We both laughed and she hugged me. "Also promise if you have problems with him you won't hesitate to hit me up. Even if I have a roommate I can still help." I hugged her again "You are a great friend Jan. I promise I'll keep in touch." I felt guilty I couldn't explain the whole situation to her, but the tribes secrets weren't mine to tell. Jared and Embry walked in grabbing the last couple of boxes. Janessa handed me my purse and overnight bag. "Uh so that's it I guess?" Paul said standing in the doorway. Janessa walked up to him. "You take care of her okay? She's a great woman and I love her like a sister so I won't hesitate to come attempt to beat your ass if she gets hurt." He nodded "Don't worry, she won't be getting hurt on my watch."
The ride home was basically silent. We were all worn out and I slept a majority of the time. It felt better to be with my family and Paul again. Although, things with Paul and I were still a bit awkward. What was to be expected through? I had left for 2.5 months and worth our saying a word to anyone. It would take me a while to earn their trust back. Not to mention he basically told me in order for us to have a more normal imprinting bond that he would have to get me pregnant. I'm only 18 and I have to consider having a baby. I wondered what my parents would think. Plus Paul and I were going to have to sit down and discuss it more. I had two options basically, wait and hope for the best, or get pregnant and see if it helps our situation. I looked to Paul as he drove, he was deep in thought. Remembering my engagement ring was on my necklace, I unhooked it and put it back on my finger. "It's nice to see it back on your hand." He stayed grabbing my hand and holding it in his. I smiled "I lost weight and it was slipping off and I didn't want to lose it. So I put it on a necklace. Hopefully I'll gain it back." He turned left heading into La Push. My stomach was filled with butterflies. "You look great no matter what Jo. Now that we are back together you will get better too. Don't be nervous, I'm here." I squeezed his hand in appreciation. Soon we pulled up to Sams. The guys jumped out but I stayed put. I was so nervous to confront the others. "Don't be nervous cuz. Everyone will just be happy you're back." Embry stayed opening my car door. I nodded and took a deep breath before getting out and heading inside. When I stepped in it was dark. "Uh guys I don't think anyone is......." Suddenly the lifts flew on and a bunch of people yelled "Surprise!" There was a big banner on the back wall saying "Welcome Home!" Around the kitchen table stood my parents, Sam, Emily, Quil, Seth, Brady, Jacob, and Leah. My mother and father were the first to come hug me, my mother crying which caused me to cry. They didn't even look mad and I was relieved. Eventually we all sat down to eat, talking just like old times. I for once was starving and ate for myself and then some. We did get around to the situation of my having left and Sam made it clear to everyone that it was in the past and we were all going to move on. After dinner and everything Paul and I said our goodbyes and went home.
"Do you want to unload your stuff tonight or wait until tomorrow?" Paul asked acting awkward. I laughed and got out. "We can just wait. I'm sure you are tired because I definitely am." I grabbed my purse and overnighter and headed inside, Paul following suit. It was so good to be home. "So before we go to bed, I think we should talk and I'll start." He went to sit on the couch and I took a seat next to him.
Paul POV
I didn't know where to begin with her. I was afraid I'd scare her away again. How was I supposed to expect her so much out of her at such a young age.
"Paul I think we need to talk about this whole situation." She stated breaking the silence. "Yeah I know............ Jo I do want to say first that you don't have to do anything you don't want to. I'm not going to force your hand or anything. We can make it work no matter what. If you don't want a baby right now we can wait and I can stop doing patrol and everything so that neither of us get hurt."
She smiled at me grabbing my hand and placing it between hers. "Paul, you are a spirit warrior. You are a part of a tremendous thing in your culture and I wouldn't ever want to keep you from that. That's why I left. I was hoping to make it better for you." I leant my head against hers. "You are my world Josephine Call. I love you more than anything. Please don't leave again.............." I leant back in the couch "and please don't ever go anywhere with a random guy again I was about to rip him to shreds. My jealousy was at an all time high." She chuckled a bit "yeah sorry about that. He was a nice guy though." I cocked one eyebrow at her "Nice guy?" She rolled her eyes "Yes Paul he was nice. However, he wasn't anything compared to you in the looks department." I felt a little after she did this. I picked her up suddenly pinning her under me on the couch. She squealed in surprise. I kissed her passionately, and I felt whole again. This was without a doubt the best kiss I had ever had. It was almost as if we were reconnected instantaneously. "Wow..." she stayed after I pulled away. I could feel myself smirking. "So do you want to...." I lead on looking back at our bedroom door. She blushed a bit and then her face went serious. "I'm ready to makes thing right......... I think I actually really do want to have a baby with you. Who cares if we are young, I love you Paul......... plus our baby will without a doubt get your good looks" I looked deep I  her eyes to make sure she was really serious about this. For some reason my wolf completely took over. I picked her up and threw her over my shoulder causing her to laugh. "Lets go make a beautiful baby." I stated taking her into our room, unintentionally slamming the door behind us.
