vi | crazy things, silly thoughts

The pregnant teen was currently moving some boxes into her new home. Sam gave Paul a whole day off from patrol duties to help his girlfriend settle into the cabin.

Paul moved most of the furniture but Sam told him that Jared will come by later to help, so he saved the heaviest things for him.

The shapeshifter watched his girlfriend unpack some of the clothes they got for their baby.

The nursery was straight across from the parents-to-be room, making it easier to get to the baby if crisis called for it.

"Shouldn't you be helping me unload some kitchen things? I thought we were saving the nursery for last?"

Talise turned around to the sound of Paul's voice. She gave him a wide smile.

Paul, for a second, admired her beauty. Her smile could light up the entire Forks town and expose the Cullens for the monsters they truly were.

'Wow, that got dark quick,' Paul thought, regarding to his last thought about the Cullens.

"Well, once I saw that the box was marked 'baby' I couldn't help but start unpacking for him."

Paul grinned. "Her."

Talise rolled her eyes. "I will stand by my argument. I think it's a boy."

"And I'm sure it's a girl," Paul said before walking over to wrap his arms around her waist. He kissed her neck, pulling her closer to him.

Before she could moan, she groaned. "This is how we got into this situation, you horn dog."

Paul laughed. "I can't help it. You're so hot."

Talise turned around so her body could be pressed against his. "If anything, you're the hot one, Mr. Wolfy."

Paul let go of her body before walking to one of the boxes near the closet. It was the box that had the pieces for the crib. The shapeshifter tapped on the box with a frown. "Every dads worst nightmare...building the crib."

Talise laughed. Only because for a second Paul legitimately sounded worried. "And who told you that?"

"Your dad and uncle," Paul told her.

She couldn't help but laugh again. "I'm sure they were teasing you. Building the crib shouldn't be that hard, just read the directions."

Before he could think about it, he raised an eyebrow at his girlfriend. "You're not helping me with this tonight?"

Talise shook her head. "No, I have other plans."

"Job interview?"

"That's next week, baby, and it's in the morning." Her boyfriend nodded, but the topic of what she was getting into still lingered in the air. She sighed. "I'm going to Port Angeles, to shop."

"Shop? What do you have to get there that you can't get here?"

"Calm down, boy," Talise joked. "I was invited to go out."

"Kim?"

She shook her head. "No, Bella."

Paul paused for a moment. Talise took note of the disgusted look he had on his face at the mention of the Swan girl.

"Paul?"

"I don't want you hanging out with her." His tone made her squint her eyes. He sounded so firm, and so serious.
