all of a sudden that I slammed into him; he caught me before I fell. We looked into each other’s eyes…. This was the first time we ever really shared a passionate kiss.

We drove home and shared my new found gift with Nana, who didn’t look to keen about it. Jake left to go home to let the pack know of what had happened and advised Carlisle as well. Both Jake and Carlisle agreed that Carlisle should do a once over just to give it an all clear. Once Carlisle was done, he confirmed that this was the only lasting side effect from my ordeal, that and the scar I had on my breast.


Chapter 31

I was back at school in no time and my birthday was around the corner. As I had requested there wasn’t going to be some big party. Nana said we could have a few people around for some cake. My birthday fell on a Saturday and Jake took me out for the morning into town. We went out for breakfast, we got Nana’s groceries from her list and I got Nana a gift. I had a beautiful photo taken of Nana and myself and I was having it specially enlarged and framed for Nana.

I had bought myself a cheap camera not long after my ordeal that I had started taking photos of Jake. We had taken photos of each other, had others taking photos of us, we took photos of others. Jake and I decided to start making a memories book for ourselves. I treated Jake to a new wardrobe of clothing as his had diminished into one pair of jean, two t-shirts and one pair of shorts and one pair of trainers.

Although he was very reluctant at first to accept and then I reminded him that we are bonded for life and what was mine was now his too. Still he didn’t want to take my money, but after some persuasion he accepted it.
Later we found the perfect book to use to make our memories book from, by the time we finished all our shopping Jake confirmed it was time to head back home. There were a few cars parked outside Nana’s house. We brought all the grocery bags in the house and Nana’s living room was full of people. The entire pack was there along with Edward, Bella, Billy and Mrs Clearwater was there. Dr and Mrs Cullen popped in as well; there were a lot of decorations up, food, drinks and a large birthday cake.

“Happy birthday!” greeted me as I walked in the door, and then I was being passed around, all was hugging and kissing me for my birthday. Once I had been wished by everyone, Jake caught hold of me and held me as we went to chat some of the guests. I was chatting to Quil and Embry when I watched Jake as he went over to speak to Bella and Edward, Jakes reaction to Bella was as she was just another friend in the room. I saw the expression on Edwards face as he could read Jake’s mind is exactly what I thought. I excused myself and went into the kitchen to get Nana’s gift.

When I entered the lounge I saw Edward looking at me and then at Jacob, he smiled and whispered in Bella’s ear, she smiled. They both watched Jacob as he spotted me enter the living room, he had such a huge smile on his face.

“Excuse me; can I get everyone’s attention please?” I asked. “Nana, where are you, Nana?” I called out as Nana stepped out from the small crowd and walking over to me. “Nana, this is something small from me to you, just to say sorry and thank you for everything” I said taking Nana’s hand and handing her, her boxed gift. “Oh my Kayla, it is your birthday, you shouldn’t have” she said. “I know Nana, but I wanted to and today was right day to do it” I said as she kissed and hugged me.

She opened her gift and cried when she saw the beautiful framed picture. It was passed around for everyone to see, while Nana had Jake take the picture off her wall above her mantel piece and replaced it now with the new one of her and myself.

“Now seeing as we are down to giving the gifts, here’s ours” said Quil. “This is from Embry and me” he said proudly handing me a small wrapped box. “Guys” I said shyly. I opened the box and it was a beautiful bracelet, it was a family bracelet, it had my Nana’s name on it, my dad’s name, my mom’s name, my name and Jakes name engraved on it and there was space for more names. “Awe, thank you guys, its beautiful” I said amongst some happy tears and hugged and kissed them both.

Billy and Mrs Clearwater handed me a small velvet pouch, in it was a chain with a locket, as the gifts came along I thanked everyone for their presents. I had received CD collection from Jared and Paul, Bella and Edward gave me a beautiful memories book in a box. Clearly Edward must have known our decision to start this book.


Nana then came over to me, she handed me a large envelope. “This is from me” she said as I took it from her.

I opened the envelope, I was confused, the papers inside were Title Deed Papers. “Nana, why do I have your property’s Title Deeds?” I asked. Nana smiled and pulled out a letter in a small envelope on top of the Title Deeds and handed it to me. The letter had recently been dated and it was confirmation of the Title Deeds to be transferred onto my name. “But Nana, your house…” I was saying. “No my baby, it’s your house now” she smiled in return. “But why?” I asked as she looked at me, then at Jacob. “For one day when you need it, if you want it?” she asked. “Nana!” I said hugging her.

I felt warm arms around me as Jacobs scent surrounded me as the three of us hugged. Our little moment was broken by some throat clearing noises. We laughed as we broke up our little hug. We started getting stuck into eating some food when Dr Cullen announced that they would be leaving soon, but not before they gave me my gift. It was a new top of the range camera for our memories book, it came with a photo printer as well. I thanked them as then they left as well as Bella and Edward, just in time to hear Edward say “Congratulations” to Jake and then left.

“Hey Jake, where’s your gift bro?” asked Seth. “Umm, well” Jake stammered which caught everyone’s attention. “Come on Jake, where’s your gift, unless you’re giving it to Kayla tonight” sneered Paul which earned him a smack on the head from Sam.


Chapter 32

I had never seen Jake so nervous before and blushing, he was blushing; he turned to me and opened his mouth. “Kayla, I want you to know that I love you and always will. You know you’re the air I breathe and my every being. You’re the one who keeps me grounded and my gift to you is a gift of promise. I promise to love you forever, to protect you, take care of you and always make you happy. I love you Kayla Hawkes” he ended his speech. I could hear some “awes” from the pack.

I had tears in my eyes when I kissed him and hugged Jake. “Kayla” he said stepping slightly away from me. “This is a symbol of my promise to you, a ring, this was the promise ring my dad bought my mother when he imprinted on her and promised her” he said as he slid the ring on my right hand finger, it fitted perfectly. It was a beautiful gold, heart shaped ring with forever engraved on it. I think we got so lost in the moment when I heard someone say “get a room guys” which brought us back to reality and everyone laughed. This day was the best ever, the party continued and I went to sit down and Seth came to join me.

“Hey Kayla, are you okay?” he asked. “Yeah, why you ask?” I replied. “You just look so exhausted” he said. “I’m okay, today has taken a lot out of me” I replied. “Sure?” he questioned. “I’m sure, thanks anyway” I answered and laughed.

What no one knew except for Nana was that since waking up from my ordeal, I had been having horrible nightmares. The nightmares were all about the time I was held captive; I kept on reliving the horror. I would wake up screaming in cold sweats, I was too scared to go back to sleep all I saw was that woman’s face and her eyes. My Nana would always sit up with me and comfort me, she insisted I tell Jake, but I didn’t want to worry him anymore. So against her wishes we decided not to tell Jake.

The last of the guests left quite late, Jake offered to take my gifts upstairs to my room. After a short while he didn’t come down, Nana and I went to check on him, he had fallen asleep on my bed. “Leave him be, let him sleep” Nana said as we looked at Jacob’s sleeping form. Nana and I spoke for a while after I had, had a shower. “Thank you for a lovely birthday Nana” I said as I hugged her. “Nana why did you give me your house?” I asked.

“Your grandpa built this house for me when he imprinted on me, I was only fifteen years old. By the time we married, this house was completed; I was eighteen when we married. The house was to go to your daddy when we passed but seeing as Samuel, your dad is no longer here, it becomes yours” she sighs thinking about my dad. We spoke some more, and we grew tired.

I said my goodnights and got into bed, as if instinct, Jacob wrapped his arms around me and I fell instantly asleep. I woke up to the birds chirping, I didn’t recall waking up during the night from my nightmares. I snuggled closer to Jake and fell asleep once more. I was woken up with a kiss on the cheek and the bed shifting as I felt Jacob getting up and leaving the room. I kept my eyes closed as I was still a bit tired and fell asleep once more.

“Afternoon sleepy head” I heard Jake’s voice.
“Mmm…its still morning, I was to sleep some more” I mumbled. “Nope it’s a little after twelve already” he answered. “Oh my hat!” I said sitting up quickly and then feeling dizzy. “Easy, take it easy, you’ve only just slept in, no need to be hard on yourself” he joked. “Nana’s just finished making lunch, would you like something to eat?” he asked. My stomach rumbling answered his question. “Yeah, I’m hungry” I replied smiling. “Okay, gonna let Nana know you’re awake and then I’m going to take a shower” he said kissing me. I noted his bags of new clothes were in the room as he left.

I got up to go brush my teeth and made my way downstairs as Jake was on his way up. “Will be back in a jiffy” he said kissing me on his way up. “Morning Nana” I said as I looked up at the kitchen clock. “Or afternoon, I can’t believe I slept in so late” I added. “Afternoon baby,
