It is 2 am in the morning that the newborn army is to arrive, and I can't sleep standing at our bedroom window that looks out the forest. I watch as Paul rolls over moving his hand to find me. When he doesn't find me he sits up and looks around the room almost in a panic state. "Babe!? What are you doing out of bed?" He questions me with concern in his voice.

"Sorry my wolf! I couldn't sleep too much to think about." I say walking over to the bed.

"Come here and lay with me. Please!" He says as I crawl back into bed. He pulled me to him so that my head was on his chest with one arm around my shoulders and the other resting on our unborn child rubbing circles. "Try to sleep! Please!" He says rubbing my stomach. "You too little man! Sleep so mommy can sleep!" He says rubbing my stomach as our son kicks his hand. "Already not listening to your father!" He says as we both laugh!

"Just like his father!" I say as Paul looks at me confused before he scoffs at me. "Does what he wants when he wants." I say with a laugh as Paul scoffs again at me. "I love you Paul! Promise me you will come home to us." I say kissing up his chest to his lips.

"I love you Aleera! More than you will ever know! And I will come home to both of you. You have my word on that." He says Kissing my head. "Now sleep! You smell so good!" He says taking a deep breath before his eyes close. Breathing in he's scent as I close my eyes and fall into an uneasy sleep wrapped in my love's arms.

I wake up to the sound of Paul on the phone. He is no longer in bed, but standing at the window looking outside just as I did a few hours ago. "Yeah! Sam we'll be over soon!" He says as he turns to look at me giving me a smile. "Ok! Sam see you in a few!" He says before hanging up the phone.

"Morning..." I say with sadness to my voice.

"Morning! Baby!" He says walking over to me and claiming back into bed. "Aleera!.." He says looking down at my engagement ring. "When this battle is over I want us to get married... Like tomorrow. I don't want to wait to call you my wife anymore. You ok with that?" He says/asks looking at me right in the eyes. I give him a smile and Kiss him with everything I have at 5 in the morning.

"I would love that!" I say cupping his face and kissing him again.

"Good!! We need to get ready... Emily needs help cooking and I guess Kim is no help this early in the morning!" He says with a chuckle walking to the closet. I move to get dressed and grab a few things to take to Emily's house for the day!

Walking into Sam and Emily's place to see Sam and Emily in the kitchen, Kim and Jared sitting at the table talking and laughing. Aleera walks in and heads straight to the kitchen to help Emily cook for the pack. "Everyone else should be here at 7 am." Sam says as me and Jared nod our heads at him.

"Paul!? Can you help me..?" Aleera asks, trying to reach a bowl that is too high up on a shelf.

"Hey Hey Hey!" I say rushing over to her grabbing the bowl from the shelf "I don't need you hurting yourself or our little man!" I say putting my hand around her belly as our son starts to kick her hard. Aleera bends over slightly and groans.

"It is only when you touch my stomach does he kick that hard." She says rubbing her belly where he kicked her. I chuckle at her as I put my hand back on her belly and he kicks hard again. She slaps my hand away from her belly. "Stop that! It's not funny! It hurts." She says slapping my chest as Emily laughs at us.

"Sorry baby! But I love feeling him kick. He is going to be strong just like his dad." I say pulling her into a hug and kissing her cheek. She gives me a shy smile as she nods her head.

Talking with Sam and Jared about the plan for the battle when the pack starts to show up. Aleera makes Seth a plate cause he needs to leave soon to head up to where Bella and Edward are at to take over for Jake. Colin and Brady are staying here with the imprints.

I stay in Paul's arms as long as I can. "You better come back whole... Paul! We can't lose you." I say cupping his face making him look at me.

"I will always come back to you! You and our little man mean everything to me. And I have to come back so I can marry you tomorrow and make you fully mine! Mrs. Lahote!!" He says against my lips. I look into his eyes and see nothing by love for me and our son.

"I love you so much Paul!" I said kissing him. He moans into it and pulls me closer to him.

"I love you Aleera and our son... So much!" He says pulling me as close as he can and holding me.

"Hey baby sister!" I hear Jared say from behind me. I turn to see him and Kim standing there.

"Hey Big brother!" I say opening my arms to him. "You come home in one piece... Ok! He will need his uncle." I say as he nods his head against my shoulder. "I love you Jared!" I say trying not to cry as I hug him a little tighter.

"I love you Aleera!" He says hugging me tightly.

"Time to go!" Sam says sadly, I move away from Jared and kiss Paul one more time. I move to stand next to Emily and Kim, we watch as they run into the woods... And now we wait and hope for the best.

"OK! I need to bake a cake for tomorrow and we need to prepare food for tonight and tomorrow!" Emily says looking at me, as I laugh at her.

"So you are really going through with the wedding tomorrow! I mean it's not what you have been planning." Kim asks with a sly smile.

"That we are! I can not wait to be Mrs. Paul Lahote." I say with a giggle. "Thou! I am surprised that he wants to do it tomorrow! I don't care as long as we are together that is all that matters to me." I say helping Emily prep for dinner and mine and Paul's wedding.

"Well I think it is great. And from what Sam has told me Paul has been planning this for a few days." Emily says with a giant smile. Hours have past, and we prepared for dinner, when Colin and Brady come running inside in a panic.

"Jake got hurt!" Colin says but Brady cuts him off.

"We need to get over to Billy's place. They are bringing him now and The leech doctor is coming here as well." Brady says, as both boys run outside leaving Kim, Emily and I in shock.
