Storks and Wolves
Chapter 31

Fusedtwilight: Sorry it has taken me so long to update. My lap top broke and I had to by a new one. I was going crazy from not being able to type. Thanks for all your reviews. And now a very sad chapter.

One month later
I was seven months pregnant now.
A month has passed since me and Chris had our little talk, a month since the Makah wolves joined us. Another month of mood swings, food cravings, aching back and feet, sore breasts and a weak bladder.
My boobs not only hurt but they were huge! I never had a flat chest, but the damn things are so big now, I look like a porn star. And what’s worse is I’m…..lactating. Like I’m a freakin’ cow or something.
I swear I hate being pregnant, can having a kid really be worth all this gross shit? I wish I could just squeeze her out now and get it done with.
And I’m still horny as hell, and despite my best efforts Embry still won’t have any sexual acts with me.
Can’t say I blame him, who would want to touch a fat sow like me? Damn hormones and bloating and all the other gross shit.
On a brighter note things with the Makahs have been going very smoothly. The elders have been working well together. The Makahs have given us all the information they have on us wolves. It was crazy; we never would have guessed half the stuff the Makahs had learned. Who’d have thought they were quite the scientists.
Unfortunately since no one in La Push knew much about this stuff we decided to let Carlisle in on all of it. Boy was he happy, like a kid on Christmas day. I have never seen him so eccentric and hyper. I guess whatever it was he saw in those papers was really cool…for a nerd.
We didn’t tell the Makahs we let a vampire in on their secrets, which was easy to understand why.
Things with our new recruits were going well. There had been a few bumps here and there with some of the new guys. Richard, Brian and Tom were the only real problems.
Brian was bitter about having to take orders from some young punk. I thought it was a little bit hypocritical seeing how he followed Chris back in Makah, but then Chris wasn’t imprinted on a half-vampire.
Richard as I soon learned was a man whore. Not even a week in La Push and he was already in hot water for sleeping with someone’s girlfriend. He also hit on me a lot. It was flattering at first but it got annoying after a while. It got to the point where I punched him in the face and knocked him out. He had made a comment if I ever got tired of Embry not touching me his bed was always open.
Boy Embry sure was mad when he found out. He and Richard had a huge fight that left them both bloody and bruised. In the end Jake ordered Richard to not commit any kind of adultery with any other woman and to never make any kind of sexual innuendo to me again.
And Tom (Or as I like to call him Paul 2.0) like his dad was just a grumpy little prick. Surprisingly he and Paul got along pretty well. They both had a lot in common, they hated vampires, they like the same bands, liked the same food, liked the same sports. I swear it was like they were long lost brothers.
Evert was the exact opposite of his twin. More mature and level headed he seemed to be used to his brothers behavior. He also apologized on behalf of Richard, he seemed to be used to doing that, apologizing for his brother that is. I asked him why his brother was such a horn dog (no pun intended) and he told me.
“Richard may act like an idiot but I guarantee you he just acts that way. We are all under pressure from the elders to breed; we all have our coping mechanisms. You see Richard doesn’t want a family, at least for now, he just wants to enjoy life and since we have an extended life he wants to enjoy it for as long as he can. But he gets lots of pressure from the elders to breed and he is to wild and carefree to be told what to do. So instead of sleeping with the girls the elders want him to he sleeps with everyone else.”
“Doesn’t he want love?” I asked.
“Love is for the imprinters and the humans, we wolves have a duty to the tribe, love comes later in life.” He had said.
“Maybe now that the big secret is out maybe things can change.” I said.
“Here’s hoping.” He said.
Kouga was still cool. He was very quiet and focused for a wolf, I definitely liked him. Embry liked him too, they both liked to read and Kouga had brought a lot of his books from his home. Another thing about Kouga was his clothing, while most guys wore sweats and second hand clothes Kouga liked to dress to impress. Made phasing tricky as he didn’t want to shred his clothes. Seth idolized him now too; he thought Kouga was so cool with his piercings and tattoo. Yeah Kouga has a tattoo on his shoulder. It was some Asian symbol that stood for wolf.
Seth wanted to get one but mom put her foot down. I guess being a mutant wolf was okay but tattoos and piercings are the limit.
Steven was trying to be a doctor. He had been studying with Hank to take over as the local doctor but that had to be put on hold. He was thinking about getting a job at the hospital in Forks and Carlisle was going to see if he could help him. Steven was really dedicated to being a doctor; he had all kinds of medical books he was constantly reading over and over again. It was funny seeing how tall and dangerous he looked. He was definitely one of the more peaceful Makahs. He was a bit snippy though, he had one of those grown up down to earth personalities that clashed with people who were overly humorous and overly energetic.
William was an okay guy. Bit of a party animal, he looked for any and every excuse to throw a wild bash. I found out him and I both had a lot in common. He had to leave his girlfriend because he didn’t want her involved with the wolf lifestyle. We both know what it’s like to have this thing cross over to our human lives.
Tony was another of my favorites. He was so shy and soft spoken he was just so…adorable. He was like a weird mixture between Seth and Embry. So kind, so compassionate. He was the kind of person you could trust to tell your darkest secrets and know he would never tell them to anyone. He was also really friendly with Seth. He followed him around everywhere. Seth didn’t mind, I think he liked having an admirer.
Chris and Kouga would always watch the two of them with a smile and a weird look in their eyes, like they saw something going on the rest of us was missing.
Speaking of Chris, we were on friendly terms. He took my talk to heart and was enjoying himself. I guess being so far away from Makah and not having to be the leader took a lot of weight of his shoulders. I know he was still hoping I would suddenly fall for him, but as long as he didn’t press the issue I wouldn’t bitch. He was a good guy, he deserved a good life of his choosing, and they all do.
Sid had made sure his children and nephews spent as much time with Old Quil as possible. And they did, fishing, camping, dinner together. They were all one big happy family. Even Brian was trying to be as nice to him as possible.
Oh and remember when Chris mentioned his dad’s bad love life? Well the day after the Makahs got here Quil’s mom showed up with groceries. There was so much she needed help, a bag slipped from her hand and Sid was there to catch it, only to drop it when he looked in her eyes and imprinted on her. That’s right, Sid imprinted on Quil’s mom.
Everyone was shocked. Quil just laughed hysterically, he wasn’t too upset. He knew his mom would be in good hands.
Old Quil was thrilled; he knew his family would be in good hands.
And that brings me to my last point. Old Quil took a turn for the worse. His cancer has become more aggressive. He is now on his death bed, ready to die.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Old Quil P.O.V
I have feared this day for many months now. Death has finally come for me but I am not afraid. I just wish it would hurry up and take me; the cancer pain is killing me, literally.
I lay in my bed, struggling to breath. I was surrounded by my family and friends.
Billy, Sue and the other elders were here to pay their last respects. Some had tears in their eyes, but others like Billy had strong, yet somber.
Even the wolves had come to say goodbye. The majority had already paid their respects and waited outside. Many of the people from the reservation had stopped by to wish me farewell. Even some people from Forks drove to wish me farewell.
I made me so happy for this. I had expected a few to come and say bye. Instead dozens of people, some I knew like family, others I only met once and they were coming to bid me farewell.
I felt a feeling of accomplishment and achievement. How many people in the world die alone? How many can die surrounded by so many people? This feeling is so indescribable, this feeling of love and commitment.
I tried not to move because it was painful. But I wanted to see who was in the room. Quil, his mother, Sam and Emily, the elders, Brian, Sid and their sons. Leah, Seth, Jacob, and Embry.
Embry was here because he was like my other grandson. He and Quil were so close growing up he was family to me. Seth and Leah because I knew them well, Harry was one of my closest friend; the burden of the secret we had kept had weighed heavily on us.
Sam and Jake were Alphas and had come to me many times for advice.
“What time is it?” I asked.
“Three thirty.” Quil said.
“Is it raining?” I asked.
I thought I could hear the rain drops, but I wasn’t sure. Someone looked out the window, I wasn’t sure who because I was back to resting my head on the pillow.
“Just started.” someone said.
“I have little time; before she died Susan had a dream of my death. She said I would die when the rain stopped,” I wheezed.
Quil’s mother let out a sob, Billy’s hands gripped the arms of his chair harder, Sue put her hand to her mouth.
“Don’t be sad, I have led a good life, met many people, learned many things, and passed my wisdom onto many people. I have nothing to fear; soon I will be with Susan again. To be honest I am a little anxious,” I laughed then coughed. “Tell me Quil how do I look?” I asked.
“Just fine.” He said quietly fighting back tears.
“Liar,” I laughed. “Brian you’re a prick, tell me how I look?” I asked him.
“Like an old buzzard about to die.” He grinned.
“You always were honest,” I grinned. We weren’t friends but we had learned to respect one another. He had told me earlier I had done a fine job with Quil. I greatly appreciated that.
“Quil, your father would be proud.” He took my hand in his; tears were running down his face. “Don’t cry now, someone needs to be making some jokes after I die. I expect you to keep the spirits up around here.” I smiled.
He smiled back and leaned down to kiss my forehead. “I love you grandpa,” He said and went to stand with his mother, taking her into his arms and letting her cry into his shoulder.
“Leah?” I called for her.
I heard movement and she was standing next to me. “I am so sorry for not telling about the females sooner. I never dreamed a female would be born to us, maybe if I hadn’t been such an honorable man I could have helped you avoid so much pain.”
“The past is dead old man”-she gently took my hand and put it to her swollen belly-“I’m looking toward the future now,” She smiled.
I felt the baby give a small kick and I smiled, a tear falling down my eye. “Embry, you take good care of them boy.” I said.
He walked into my field of vision. “I will gramps.” He said using his name for me.
“Sam, Jake, I leave knowing you two will protect our people. Don’t let me down,” I said.
“We will sir.” They said together.
“Billy, old friend I will tell Sara you send your love.”
“She knows I love her; tell her I hope she can wait a little longer,” Billy said.
“I will old friend. Sid Brian, I know we have our differences but I am glad you came, I only wish I could have met the rest of your family.” I turned to their sons. “I hope you all find your own happiness, a path of your choosing. And I hope you see in La Push what Susan saw.” I turned back to Sid and Brian. “We all had fine children.”
I lowered my head. I was so tired mind, body, and soul. The hard rain was beginning to soften. “My friends, my family, I will see you all again…one day.” I cracked open my eyes to look at them. My eyelids felt like they weighed a ton. They all looked at me with eager and terrified eyes. They heard the rain fall coming to an end, they knew what was about to happen. “What are you all looking at? That’s all I got.” I said gently I closed my eyes.
I have lived well. I have delighted; I have despaired, desired, dreamed, loved, destroyed, and created. And now the end is here, all good things must end, for that is what gives life value.
And then……the rain…….stopped…………….

Quil P.O.V
We watched as slowly but surely my grandfather stopped breathing.
I walked up to him and pressed my fingers to the side of his neck. Nothing.
I looked at everyone in the room and shook my head. The reaction was immediate; some cried others nodded in grim acceptance. But even they had tears.
Jake, Sam and the others all left to inform the others who were waiting outside. Only I, mom, and the Makahs were left in the room. With my wolf hearing I could hear the others breaking the news, and the cries and sobs that followed.
We stood in silence, just staring at the body, like it would wake up or something. Then Brian surprised us all.
“I never liked him, still don’t. But Susan chose him above all others, and he raised fine children.”
Sid spoke up next. “He was a good man, and a good teacher. Men like him are in short quality now a days.”
Mom went next. “He was always a hard worker; he earned his place in life and was willing to help others.”
One by one my cousins went saying something final about him. Then it was my turn. “He was my grandfather…and I miss him so much already.” I said.
We bowed our heads in respect; mom went to go call someone to pick up the body.
“Come on cousin,” William said wrapping an arm around my shoulders. “We must give him a proper send off.”
“Huh?” I asked.
“A bonfire, we sing, we dance, we reminisce about the good times and the bad times, and we get shit faced in the process. We send off Uncle Quil in style. How’s that sound?” He asked.
I looked back to the body that was once Quil Ateara. Then I remembered him telling me to keep everyone’s spirits up. I turned to my cousin and smiled.
“Hell yeah, I’ll make the calls and you bring the booze.
------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Someplace here and there

I opened my eyes to a warm glowing sun.
There was no pain in my old joints, or pain from the cancer. I move my hands and feel sand, warm and flowing between my fingers.
I stood up and looked around; I was on a vast beach, with water clearer than anything I have ever seen. The sun was brighter then I have ever seen in La Push. I looked at my hands and say they were young and strong once again.
“See something you like?” A voice asked.
I looked up and saw her, my Susan. She wore her old white dress, with her matching white hat. She only wore it when it was a nice sunny day, or for church. She was young once again, but still beautiful.
“Susan,” I whispered.
I grabbed her and kissed her. She still tasted like flowers and sunshine.
“I missed you,” I whispered burying my face into her hair.
“I missed you too,” She said stroking the side of my face.
I pulled back and took her hand. We began to walk down the long beautiful beach hand in hand.
“This looks like the Caribbean,” I said recalling the photos we used to look at before she died.
“Remember how we said we would go there one day?” She smiled. “Well better late then never.”
“Heaven is in the Caribbean?” I asked.
“No silly,” She laughed pushing me. “It is what it is.”
“I don’t care where we are, as long as I’m with you.” I said.
“Well we have no rush, we have forever.” She said.
We continued to walk hand in hand, in silence. Together forever.
And that was the end.
-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

La Push, first beach

Quil made the calls. Soon word spread of the final farewell party for Old Quil. William and a few others chipped in for the beer and food. The women helped prepare the food. And the men did all the heavy lifting, getting the fires ready.
It never rained during the party (If you would call it that) But just as William predicted all the people who came-which was quite a lot-all danced, sang, drank, and reflected their experience with the man who was Quil Ateara. Went on for many hours, during which they cried and laughed as Quil, Old Quil’s grandson told stories his grandfather told him, and the stories of the man they all knew and loved.
At the end, when the stars were bright and the great bonfires were reduced to smoldering Embers everyone raised their drink in remembrance.
They drank their drinks, and then it began to rain, exactly when they cried.

Fusedtwilight: And that is the end of old Quil. I channeled a lot of frustration into this chapter, I hope you all enjoyed it. Please review.
