To Love and Imprint: In-laws and Outlaws

Chapter 17

fusedtwilight: thanks to my beta animegirlkiki and to erica3769 and stina for reviewing. One more chapter and it is the end of this story. Warning this chapter is full of angst.

Lilith P.O.V

Dad and the others stayed to help Able.

They calmed down and stopped being such dicks to Seth. That wasn’t to say they were nice to him, but they were staying civil with him. Dad kept his word and hasn’t tried making any connections in Washington.

Able is still recovering physically and mentally from what happened with Maria. He has developed a phobia of vampires. When Carlisle came in to check on him some sun light hit him and caused him to sparkle. Able flipped.

We moved him to our house. He still has nightmares that wake us up at night. He stays in bed too afraid to go outside. We can’t leave him alone for a second because he freaks out if he is alone for to long. I don’t know what to do, how can I help him. Can I even help him?

I hope to God there is a hell. I hope Maria is burning down there with her little brats right now. But they’re already dead so I have to settle for that. Now that I know for certain Maria is dead I can sleep easier.

I am still suffering from the brat twins’ powers. My physical wounds are healing okay. But there are times I think of my mother and I break down crying. Seth is there. He is always there to take away the pain and make me feel better.

Cain is staying here. Dad asked him to return to Los Angeles but Able needs him right now and he won’t leave Leah.

Believe it or not the Amazons sent me a gift a few days after the fight with Maria. It was a jacket made from snake skin. Specifically Anaconda. I wore it on a date me and Seth had. It looks real good on me. Seth wasn’t too pleased about it. The note that came with it said I was an un-official member of the Amazons and if I ever wanted to join to contact them. I am flattered but I am more of a wolf kind of girl.

Things are still tense between the two packs. The decision to have the Amazons help was not a popular one. I don’t care if it was right or wrong. It saved my brother and killed my enemies. Why should I regret anything?

It was a week after Maria’s death that I began to feel sick in the morning. I noticed my period was late and I began to worry. I bought a pregnancy test and took it home. I am still waiting for the damn thing to hurry up and tell me the result. I thought at first I could not be pregnant because I and Seth use protection.

But then I remember that night in the woods. The night where in my sorrow I lay with Seth to feel alive and warm. No protection that night. But it was only one time. You know what they say, once is enough.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in the bathroom with Leah. I had called her and told her my suspicions. She was there with me as I waited for the test to come out.

“Thanks Leah,” I said holding her hand.

“No problem. I thought you were being safe?” she asked.

“We didn’t use protection when we were in the woods.” I mumbled. Damn my heart for making me so emotional

“You slept with Seth in the woods?! Ewe!”

“I know, I know. I just needed some comfort okay!” I said heatedly.

“I’m sorry, what will you do if it is positive?” she asked.

“Tell Seth of course, he’ll be happy as hell.”

Leah was quiet for a few seconds. “But will you be?” She asked.

“…I don’t know. I’m still reeling from what that freaky vampire bitch’s Lilly and Tilly did to me. Plus I had all these plans to go to college and get a job. I don’t want to be a stay at home mom Leah, I want a job and to go to school. A baby would complicate things. And I don’t know if I would make a good mother.” I said sadly.

“At least you can have kids.” Leah muttered angrily.

Great now we both are pissed.

“Leah I have been thinking, maybe you can have kids.” I said.

“How?” she asked.

“Stop phasing. When you phase all your clocks stop ticking right? So stop phasing and see if your period will return.”

She looked at me like she wanted to kiss me, then she slapped her head with her hand. “God I am such an idiot! Why the fuck didn’t I think of that!”

“It may not work you know.” I quickly said.

“Way to knock me down Lil,” she muttered.

“I just don’t want to get your hopes up is all,” I said.

“Good point. God I want a baby so bad, I know Cain wants one, one day, and I can’t give him one,” she said frustrated. “I’ll try it and hopefully it will work. Damn I wish I had thought of it sooner.”

“Well if you still can’t have one how would you like to be my baby’s godmother?” I asked.

She looked at me with surprise. “Me?”

“Yeah, you and Cain. Who else would I trust with my kid?”

Leah wrapped her arm around my shoulder and I wrapped my arm around hers. We hugged each other lightly. “Thanks Lil.”

“No problem.”

The watch beeped letting me know it was time. “You want me to look?” Leah asked.

“No, I got it.” I got up and walked over to the sink. I picked up the stick and looked at it. I quickly grabbed the box and looked at the instructions to see what the results meant. After re-reading it a dozen times I dropped the box and the stick and backed up. I bumped into Leah who hugged me from behind.

“Should I say congratulations?” she asked.

I placed my hands on my stomach. Nine months from now I would be having either a baby boy or girl….Fuck!

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seth P.O.V

I was a happy guy.

After the whole Maria incident I had finally found some footing with Lil’s family. I still had a long way to go before I was welcomed in but I was at least able to have a civilized conversation with them.

More than a week after Maria and Lilith was acting…weird. She was quiet, reserved, polite, and patent…the exact opposite of what she usually is. I thought it was her still suffering the side effects from Lilly and Tilly but she had withdrawn from me. Like she was afraid of me.

I was talking with Jake, Quil, and Embry about it. Trying to figure out what I should do.

“Just give her some space, she has a lot of shit she needs to figure out,” Embry said.

“I’m sure it’s nothing, probably just that time of the month.” Quil said.

We were walking through the woods, not to patrol, just to hang out. Things were tense between us and Sam’s pack. Things had been tense for a long time. Sam and Jake had their differences but they worked well enough. It was not the leaders, it was the members who had the problem.

Because of the Volturi incident we had more members in the packs/packs in history. Many of them are younger than me. That’s a lot of aggression and undirected rage running around.

A bunch of young, angry, frightened, cocky wolves, hating what they have become, resenting vampires and resenting anyone who is friends with them. Like us. It was stupid for us to be fighting, but youth brings with it stupidity and ignorance. That’s the way of things.

Usually Sam did a good job at keeping them back, but he was pissed at us using the Amazon’s. Sam had many morals and rules and did not break them easily. Using man eating vampires was just not something he could not approve of. Sam’s aggravation was leaking into his pack, fueling their rage and resentment. There had been a few incidents where some of ours fought some of theirs. Nothing serious. For us that is, if we were still human then it would be serious.

I was just so frustrated with Maria, Lil’s family and Lil’s odd behavior and the pack’s fighting. I needed to take a break and clear my mind. I needed some advice from other people and since Jake, Quil, and Embry were the oldest who best?

Quil was not the best choice because he was imprinted on a kid and thought he knew about girls even before he imprinted.

Embry was not imprinted but he knew about romance. Of course she was a vampire and lived in Alaska. That whole situation had its own troubles and difficulties. But Embry was known for good advice.

Jake was imprinted on a kid to but he was more mature then Quil and after everything with Bella he might know a thing or two.

“What do you think Jake?” I asked him.

“Have you tried asking her if anything is wrong?” Jake asked.

“Well no,” I admitted. “I want to but it’s like she’s put up a wall around herself and I can’t reach her.”

“You have to try Seth,” Jake said. “You won’t know unless you try. Talk to her, listen to her. Ask her. If you just stand around and watch her you won’t get anywhere.”

“Shouldn’t be too hard, lord knows she always has something to say.” Quil laughed. I punched him on the arm.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Lilith P.O.V

I faced uncertainty, doubt, and the fears of the unknown, who better to help get rid of it then a psychic?

I sat in Alice’s room as she brushed my hair. She knew why I was there. Her condition for my questions was she would style my hair. So I let her. I drew the line at her trying to style me up with clothes. My color is black, nothing else.

“So what am I going to do? I don’t know if I am ready for mother hood.” I said.

“If you want me to see the future I can’t help you, you’re bound too tightly to Seth for me to get a clear reading.

I had grown my hair out till it went past my waist. That was a lot of hair to brush and style. Seth loved my long hair. So I grew it longer for him. Personally I hated it. Long hair is a pain to take care of. The things we do for love.

“But I’m not with him now.”

“You’re his imprint and you are having his kid, he is with you where ever you go,” she said.

“How am I supposed to take care of a baby? I can hardly take care of myself, and I’m too mean to be a mommy.”

“You have a nurturing side to you; you just don’t use it much is all. Just wait for him or her to start growing and you’ll see.”

“But were so young, too young to have a baby. Marriage is one thing but a life is on a whole other scale.”

“True, but after everything you have dealt with your whole life is raising a child so scary?”

“Fucking terrifying,” I said.

She sighed. She began to twist my hair into a pony tail. “Motherhood is always terrifying, but it is also wondrous. It comes with much responsibility and care. Sadly not all are fit to experience it.” She took my pony tail and rolled it into a tight bun. She checked my head making sure no hair was sticking out. “But if you trust in yourself and in Seth I am sure you will make wonderful parents.”

She placed a flower in the side of my head. It was a celandine-poppy. The yellow poppy helped bring out the yellow in my eyes.

“Do you know what it symbolizes in the language of flowers?”

“The what?” I asked confused.

“The Language of the flowers also known as floriography was a Victorian era means of communication were flowers and floral arrangements were used to send coded messages to one another. It is still used to this day.”

“So what does this mean?” I asked pointing to the poppy.

“Joys to come. The joys you and Seth will have when you have the child.”

“You have seen this?” I asked.

“Silly, I don’t see wolves,” she smiled.

“Then how can you be sure?” I asked.

She leaned in and kissed my cheek. I felt her cold lips press against my cheek and almost shuddered. “I have faith in you and Seth.”

She began to apply the makeup without another word. I let her do my face without making a fuss. I was glad someone had faith in me, because right now I don’t.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I was in Able’s room. We were alone. He was staring up at the ceiling lost to his dark thoughts. I was reading a book. The celandine was still in my hair. If I had been wearing nicer cloth’s I would have looked like a girl from one of those morning coffee commercials.

Cain was with our brothers and father. They all had spent time with him but he never changed. Always quiet and reserved, separated by fear and torture. Cut off from the world by a wall Maria built with pain and heart ache.

“Able,” I said.

“Yes,” he whispered.

I took his hand in mine and I gripped it firmly. He looked at our hands then at me. “I’m pregnant.” I said.

“What?” he asked his eyes going round.

I nodded, tears falling down my cheeks. “I’m going to someone’s mother.”

I did not expect what emotion for him to show, but him bursting into tears was not one of them. He yanked his hand away from me and began to sob like a wounded animal.

“Hey, if anyone should cry it’s me, you know how fat I am going to get?” I said trying to cheer him up.

“You have to keep it away from me,” he said. “You all have to stay away from me, I am a monster!”

“No you’re not,” I said rubbing his head.

He smacked my hand away and I hissed in pain. My lower arm stung where he slapped, I knew it would bruise; he hadn’t healed back when he struck me. “I wanted to get away from her; I would have done anything to get away from her.” I froze knowing who her was. “Her and those hells spawn brats of hers, they used their power on me over and over, and I wanted to just die.” Tears were running down his cheeks.

I wanted to hug him, to comfort him but I did not want to get smacked again. My heart was breaking for him. My brother is haunted by a dead woman and I can not help him. Once again I am helpless to save a loved one.

“They broke me Lil don’t you get it? She had such terrible things planned for you, for us. She didn’t just want me to eat you she wanted…she wanted me to do things to you Lilith, such horrible things…and I was going to do it.”

I froze. A well of horror and shock welled up from my gut. I stared at him with my mouth slightly open.

“I gave in sister, I gave up. I was willing to do anything she wanted, anything if it meant I could escape her.” Tears were running down his face, his hands covered his eyes but they leaked through his fingers. “If I was told to I would have killed you, father, Cain, anyone I was willing to torture you all if it meant I could escape her. I’m a monster Lilith, you and everyone needs to stay away from me.”

“Able, you saved me, you jumped on her back to stop her an-”

He pulled his hands away from his face. His eyes were blood shot and wild. And for a moment I was afraid of my brother. “Run! Run away from me! I hate you I hate all of you, just leave me the fuck alone!”

He grabbed my arms and he squeezed them so hard I let out a yelp of pain. “Able stop!”

“Fucking whore! Carrying a monster’s child get away from me! I was tortured because of you GO NOW!”

He shoved me and I fell on my back. He got up and began to go berserk. Screaming and hollering. Picking things up and throwing them. Breaking anything to touch. My brother was gone, and in his place a wild animal was there.

I should have tried to stop him. But I was too horrified by his confession and his new nature. I good person should have stopped him; a good person should have been there for him. But I am not a good person.

I’m a horrible person, a horrible wife, a horrible friend, a horrible sister and soon I will be a horrible mother. I ran to the door and opened it, I ran out without shutting the door. I was running down stairs when Leah and Cain came running up.

“Lilith what the hell is happening?” Cain asked.

I tried to say something but only a sob escaped me, I was crying so hard my vision was blurry.

“I’m sorry,” I choked. “I’m so sorry.”

I ran past them. They would have stopped me had it not been for the sounds of Able crashing heavy things up stairs. I left them to tend to Able while I ran out for the woods. I could not take it anymore. I had to run. Run, run, run and never stop. But no matter how far I ran I could not escape the horror and guilt. After all you can’t run from yourself.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Leah P.O.V

As much as I wanted to chase Lilith I had to make sure Able didn’t hurt Cain. With my wolf hearing I had heard what was said between the siblings. I knew Lil was hurting but I couldn’t leave Cain alone with Able like this.

We ran into the room we kept Able in and found him randomly throwing things around and smashing things with his fists. His hands were a bloody mess. Cain tried calling Able’s name but he did not stop. He tackled Able to the ground. I helped him hold him down. Thank god for wolf stringth. If I had been human I wouldn’t have been much help.

“LET ME GO YOU MOTHER FUCKERS!” Able shouted.

Cain said something in Spanish. It was gentle and had a soothing edge.

“I won’t fucking calm down, I’m a monster! Kill me! Kill me!” Able shouted.

“What did you say to Lilith?” Cain asked. “Why is she running away!”

“I told her to run, I made her run away,” Able said.

“What? Why would you do that?” Cain asked confused.

“So she will keep the baby away from me.”

“Baby? What baby?” Cain asked.

I sighed. I cursed Able for spilling the beans. Cain shouldn’t have found out this way. “Lil’s pregnant Cain. She wanted to tell everyone at once, she asked me to keep it quiet.”

“Able why would this not make you happy?” Cain asked.

Able told him what he told Lilith. I winced as Cain’s face became as disgusted and horrified as Lilith’s. He drew back his hand and slapped his brother in the face. “Why! Why would you tell her that!”

“It’s true,” Able sobbed. “I would have done anything to get away from that Bruja. I gave up Cain, I would have done anything to escape ANYTHING!”

Cain slapped him three more times. He grabbed the front of his shirt shaking him. Tears were running down both their faces. And when I saw their shapes turn blurry I realized I was crying to.

Of all the vampires we fought, Victoria, the newborns, the Volturi. None of them hurt us like Maria did. She hurt us in a way few vampires ever have. Even in death she would haunt us. She left her mark on us through a loved one. She may be dead but she left her mark on us. A mark deeper than any vampire had left.

Cain put his head on Able’s and they wept. “I know you; you are a cocky, arrogant, pain in the ass Able. You do not break easily. If she broke you I fear what she would have done to me or one of the others.”

“But…I…I….” Able sobbed.

“You saved us, if you had not jumped on her we would have died,” Cain smiled.

Able cried in his shoulder and Cain hugged him tight. It reminded me of when my father died. It was Seth who held me as I wept. It should have been me supporting him since I was the older one, but I was overcome by grief and Seth had to be the strong one for me.

“Lilith? Where is Lilith?” Able asked.

“Ran off,” I said.

“I’m sorry, oh God I hurt her! I hurt my sister!” Able sobbed.

“Leah, can you go get her?” Cain asked.

“Yeah, I’ll be right back.” I kissed him on the cheek.

I went to leave but Able grabbed my arm. “Please bring her back, I’ll do anything, but please bring her back to us,” he begged.

I hugged him which surprised the holy hell out of him. “I’ll bring her back,” I pulled back to glare at him. “While I am gone I expect you to make an apology ready for her.”

“I will,” he said.

“Good.”

I got up and left to find Lilith. I wasn’t going to phase, even in human form I could follow her scent. It lead deep into the woods. I followed the trail wondering how far she could have gotten. For a human Lilith is in prime condition. For a human she could run pretty far.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Alice P.O.V

I was watching T.V with Jasper when I had a vision,

I saw Lilith deep in the woods. A vampire was stalking her backing her up against a tree. He pinned her to the tree and bit into her neck. Draining her dry. He let her fall to the ground, her face pale and set in a mask of sorrow and pain.

I gasped in fright. It was going to be soon, she was still wearing her clothes from earlier; she still wore the flower in her hair.

“Alice what is it!” Jasper asked taking my hand.

“Quick call Seth, or Jake, or someone!”

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Seth P.O.V

We were walking in the woods when we caught the scent. A vampire, someone we didn’t know. It wasn’t very fresh; he hadn’t been here in a while. But his trail was leading into La Push.

We quickly phased and ran after the vampires scent.

Fusedtwilight: That language of the flower stuff is true. Check it out, it’s pretty cool. Next chap we see if the wolves save Lillith and a surprising character makes an appearance.
