Bonus Chapter : Raindrop

--

I was startled by the distinct sound of a tub full of toys falling on the hardwood floor in the living room.

"Rainie Mai! You better not be making a mess in there. Remember what happened last time, momma was the one that cleaned it up." I waited a moment, she was silent.

"Okay momma!" she squeaked from the front room. I continued to peel potatoes letting the skins fall in the sink. I glanced up, through the kitchen window. A typical day in LaPush, rain and gloom. The sky was gray, a light mist covering the outsides. My life in the last six years has been amazing - hard as hell - but amazing none the less. I don't regret a thing. Junior managed to get is diploma and his mechanics license. He made an honest living in the garage with my dad and Uncle Jake. I on the other hand, had to get my GED, which was a pain in the ass, but I still managed, and am now a neonatal nurse in training at the hospital in Forks.

"Unca Candy Kane is here!" I heard my daughter scream from the family room. I rolled my eyes and laughed. I gave birth to a healthy six pound baby girl when I was just barely eighteen. It was the most painful experience, but worth the feeling of my innards being ripped from my body. "Hey sis!" I heard Kane laugh as my almost six year old hung off his arm. Rainie smiled angelically at me. She was a carbon copy of Junior himself. The hair, the skin tone, the nose, especially her eyes. The exact same shade of deep blue as Junior and Chevy's eyes. She giggled as Kane kissed her cheek. It was safe to say that Rainie Mai had all the wolf men wrapped around her tiny little fingers. She was only six, but her sweet face and spunky attitude could melt any one's resolve. All the wolves in the pack were like her uncles and brothers. She called most of the uncle, and could finagle anything she wanted out of them, but when it came to me, and she couldn't get her way, watch out. She was little a little hurricane. Everyone always said that she was just like me in the personality department, saucy and outspoken.

"Hello lovely." I grinned as he tickled Rainie. She loved her uncles - and grandpa's - and her daddy, especially her daddy. I laughed thinking to myself about her fifth birthday. I swear my own dad and father in law were in cahoots. Plan get Rainie a pony was in full swing when my mom, Rachel and I had to put a stop to it.

"When's Junior gonna be here?" Kane asked as Rainie snuggled into the crook of my brother's neck, looking tired. Kane patted her little back, she looked on the verge of falling asleep, her long mass of hair falling down her back. I hated it was so long, it always fell in her eyes, but at the mention of a haircut, she freaked out.

"Should be here anytime. Have you talked to Chevy today?" I asked. Kane nodded, leaning against the door jam.

"Yeah, I saw him earlier. Said he'd be here in a bit." The whole family was getting together later on tonight, the whole wolf family. That mean everyone and their momma was coming - literally. I had the day off and had been cooking for the last three and a half hours. "Mom and dad should be here in a bit too. Mom said she wanted to help you out with the cooking." he mumbled, kissing Rainie's forehead as she had now drifted into a light nap on my brothers shoulder. When she was a baby, she wouldn't fall asleep when I held her, only when one of her wolf men held her would she stop fussing and fall asleep. I think she found comfort in their extreme warmth.

Just a few minutes later, Chevy came in, in all his six foot six glory. He phased when he turned fourteen, and now, just turning eighteen, the little boy that used to literally look up to me when we spoke, now towered over me. "Hello sister from another mister." he said pecking my cheek. He still hadn't lost his unique sense of humor. He always called my sister from another mister, technically that wasn't possible, but the wedding band on my finger said that I was his sister - in a round about kind of way.

Just as Junior promised, Chevy was his best man when we were married last year.

As soon as Rainie heard Chevy's voice, she jerked her head up from the couch, where Kane laid her and rejoiced. "Unca Chevy truck!" she squeed, hopping from the couch and jumping into his awaiting hug.

"How's it Precious Thunder?" she giggled. I know you're wondering. In our journey to find names for our daughter, the honor was given to grandpa Billy. He laughed, and thought for a few days. When we asked him what he had come up with he told us "I think you should name her Rainie Mai. Rainie Mai Tama. I just like the name Rainie and Mai means precious, Tama means thunder. It's kind of like a tribal name - in a way." he shrugged at his own suggestion. I laughed.

"I love it!" I exclaimed. None of us knew just how fitting her name would be.

"I'm good Unca Chevy Truck!" she giggled. "Is Aunt Nessie and Unca Jake coming?!" she asked me, dragging some legos into the kitchen, perching herself on Kane's lap as Chevy assembled them to look like a bridge.

"All your uncles and aunties are coming, honey." I smiled. Her baby blues lit up, and she looked like a kid getting exactly what they wanted on Christmas day.

"Really?" she asked. I nodded, assuring her. "Ya!" she laughed as Chevy made faces at her.

"Chev, can you get me that cake pan out of the cupboard?" I asked him, pointing to a space that was too high for me to reach. Chevy slid out of his seat agilely, swooping the pan out of the cupboard. He started laughing as he handed to black, burnt pan. Just a reminder of Rainie's third birthday. All the wolf boys insisted that we not buy her a cake, that they would make her one, a special one, all together.

Cue the disaster!

After making a mockery of my kitchen, flour, eggshells, frosting, butter, you name it all over the place, they burnt the cake, leaving the pan charred and a very noticeable memory of the whole fiasco. Despite the hideous outer appearance, Rainie thanked all of her wolf boys, but refused to eat any of the cake.

I finished peeling the potatoes and pulled the already made cornbread mix from the fridge. I dumped the mix into the burnt pan and popped it into the oven. Rainie jumped scurried into the living room, running back after a moment of her audible digging through the movie cupboards.

"Ma, can I watch Dances With Wolves?!" she asked, bouncing on her toes with a huge grin. I laughed at her. I swear she was going to ware that DVD out one of these days. She watched it at least three times a week. "Pleaaaase!?" she begged. I shook my head as Kane and Chevy chuckled.

"Why don't we wait for Uncle Jake to get here. It's his favorite movie too you know. I'm sure he'd love to watch it with you." I reasoned. Her face fell a little but she agreed.

"Okay, ma." she said, setting the DVD on the table and going back to her abandoned legos spewed about the living room floor. Chevy joined her after a moment.

"So how's the training going at the hospital, sister?" Kane asked me as I sliced the potatoes so I could boil them and then let my mother mash them. She was always better at it then I was.

"Ah, it's good. I love seeing all the babies everyday." I grinned at him.

"Yeah. It seems it would be exciting." he agreed.

"Oh yeah, for sure. There's is a lot of young mothers coming and going though." I said with a head shake. Don't get me wrong, I don't regret Rainie, a bit, but I was no saint. I was pregnant at seventeen, and it was hard as hell. If it wasn't for the support if my family as well as Junior's, I would have been screwed.

"Sounds familiar." he smirked. I snorted and tossed a piece of sliced, raw potato at his head. He caught it and popped it into his mouth.

"Don't be a dick! You love your niece don't you!? And besides you're the one that said I should keep her." I argued playfully with him. He laughed heartily. I gave him a quick side glance. In all this time my twin could always make things better, easier and I still trusted him and his opinion with my life. After all, he was my older brother - even if it was only by mere minutes. Not to mention we shared the same amniotic fluid!

Ha, good memories.

"I love you both with all my heart, hell, I even learned to like Junior. It's hard not to when Rain looks exactly like the guy. She's a mini version of him. She has your fire though." that sent me off into a peal of laughter.

"Oh, how right you are. I've mellowed with age though!" I tried to defend myself. My brother smirked.

"Are you kidding me?" he asked me incredulously. I gave him a surprised look.

"What!? I have!" I argued. He scoffed.

"This coming from the girl that nearly scalped Jimmy with dad's antique tomahawk!?" he ground out. I laughed.

Jimmy was Shane and Spear's little brother. He was a year younger than Chevy and was very - hm, a way to explain it? - sexually active. Anyway, he and his girlfriend went through a little pregnancy scare recently. Me being the authoritive woman I am, told him that if he ever let it happen again I would scalp his little ass.

"Hey, teen pregnancy is no joke. I care for the kid and he was being careless. Imagine the mess if he did get her pregnant - she's not his imprint, then boom, she has the kid and then the fool imprints on some other girl. That would be a catastrophe we all do not have the stress capacity to handle!" I said, without missing a beat. Kane nodded in agreement.

"True." he mumbled, thinking deeply about what I had said. After a moment of silence, I heard the familiar jingle of keys at the front door.

Junior.

I wandered into the living room. Rainie heard the door opening and immediately dropped her toys, hurdling toward the door.

"Daddy!" she screamed as soon as the door was open. I laughed as he dropped his tool box on the floor and scooped up his baby girl. I stood back for a moment, examining the pair of them. There was no doubt she was his daughter.

"Raindrop!" he laughed, kissing her forehead. "How's my favorite girl today!?" he asked her. She giggled and proceeded to tell him every detail of her day. When she came to a breathy end, Junior glanced at me, his blue eyes shining with happiness. His stare still gave me butterflies, even after all this time.

He looked hot in his garage uniform shirt, his name scrawled over a patch over the left side of his chest, his worked, weathered jeans and disarrayed hair. My heart skipped a beat when he grinned, setting Rainie on her feet and pulling me in for a kiss.

When he pulled away he breathed deep before asking, "And how was my other favorite girl today?" I grinned and stroked the small of his back.

"Busy." I answered simply. He nodded thoughtfully.

"Well, let me get cleaned up and I'll help you out." he said as he kissed my nose and stalked off toward the bathroom. I looked down to see Rainie with a disgusted face."Ew, you're gonna get daddy's cooties!" she squealed. I smirked and lunged forward, scooping her up and tickling her mercifully.

"Momma!" she squeed breathlessly. "Stop!" she giggled.

"Nope!" I said nonchalantly. After a moment, I set her on her feet, she fled into the living room to take refuge with her uncles, who were drawn out on the couch watching some sports program on the TV. Junior appeared in the kitchen a few moments later, his arms wrapping around my waist as I continued to slice potatoes.

"I love you." he whispered.

"Love you too." I smiled. "How was work today?" I asked. He separated himself from me, taking a knife and helping slice potatoes.

"It was good. Jake and Ness should be here soon." he said, dropping some potatoes slices in the pan with a thump.

"Are Kai and Ayden still in Boston?" I asked. Junior shook his head no.

They had gone up to visit her parents grave.

"They got back last night. Ayden said they'd be here for sure. Kai was whining about not seeing Rain in a while." I laughed. For some odd reason, Rainie took a very close liking to Kai. It might be the fact that the three of us are the only girls, aside from the original wolf girls, but whenever Kai was around, Rainie was attached to her hip. Especially when Kai had her guitar or played piano for her. Rainie had always loves music and melodies as a baby. Kai seemed to have inspired her to want to play piano. I think Nessie had something to do with that as well. She shocked us all when she said she could see the notes in her head when she heard music. I brushed it off, thinking she was just being a little girl with an overactive imagination and exaggerating. It surprised the hell out of me though when Kai and Nessie could teach her classical pieces within only a few days. They all say she's like a prodigy, but she insisted that she just loves the feeling of her little fingers on the keys. She was awarded a piano from Aunt Nessie on her fourth birthday.

I think the music thing is another big reason why she gravitated to Kai.

Kai even wrote her a lullaby on the guitar. She sings it whenever she comes for a visit and it never fails to make Rainie more excited than ever.

It went something like:

Rain falls, oh drops of rain.

Upon the sea and town.

Rain falls, peace is among the tribe again.

While, the raindrops fall, peacefully down, down.

Rainie Mai, sings like bells of glass.

Letting the light through the clouds at pass.

Rain falls, washes away the tears.

A love, a life, an angel stays near.

Rainie always sang along, loving the constant use of her name.

"Momma, can I watch Dances With Wolves now?!" I turned to find my baby girl standing in the doorway with her hand on her hip. "Uncle Jake and Aunty Nessie just got here with Ayden and Kai." she announced. I grinned, as I went to open the front door. Junior fallowed close behind me. I heard the shuffle of feet and the familiar 'Sure, Sure' from Jacob Black's mouth. I giggled despite myself.

I wretched the door open, much to Rainie's chagrin. Jake was holding Nessie near as Kai and Ayden loomed behind them.

"I love you all!" Rainie decided to announce randomly. We all were silent for a split second before bursting into laughter.

"We love you too Raindrop!" Jake said, coming into the house and swooping the little girl into a hug. She laughed as the rest of the Blacks fallowed into the house. Nessie pulled me into a hug, after releasing me, Ayden pulled me into a brotherly hug. Kai was the last to squeeze me around the waist, hugging me tightly before Rainie attached herself to her. Ayden and Jake wandered into the front room, where the guys were screaming over some show."Aunty Kai! I learned to play Shoshone Love song on the piano! Like you were teaching me!" she squealed as she launched herself into the she-wolf's arms. Kai's eyes lit up and she beamed.

"Well maybe later, you can play and I can sing!" she told Rainie. Rainie nodded enthusiastically. "Good. Let's go harass uncle Ayden!" she laughed. Nessie laughed, a bit exasperated.

"That one is something else." she giggled. I nodded."Oh yeah." I agreed. The door opened on it's own and my parents made their appearance, the in-laws in tow.

"Hi daddy!" I squealed, feeling like a little girl again. I hugged him tightly before handing out hugs to the rest of the family.

"Rainie Mai Tama! Where are you!?" Paul bellowed, ducking into the living room with my dad and Junior not far behind. My mother, Rachel and Nessie went back to the kitchen.

"So how's everything, dear?" Rachel asked me as she started dumping potatoes into a pan of hot water to boil. I grinned.

"Everything's great." she smiled.

"How's the rug rat behaving?" my mom asked, as if I didn't talk to either of them everyday.

"She's good. Hell of a temper, but she's a good kid. She loves being around the family." I stated, glancing out at Rainie who was curled up between Junior and Paul. Nessie chuckled.

"Oh yeah. She reminds me of Jacob in that way. Family is his world." I laughed.

We finished the rest of the potatoes and Nessie pulled the cornbread out of the oven. Emily brought chicken. Jared and Kim showed up with some dishes of their own. After an hour more of cooking and family arriving, all the wolf boys - excluding the ones on patrol - were there. Embry and Tara showed up a little after Sam and Emily along with William and Hayden. Shane was on patrol, but Spear arrived with his imprint, Pierce - pretty much one of the most gorgeous girls I've ever seen. They fit together well. Sir Billy Black rolled in right before food was served. The last to arrive was Avery and his wife with their five year old, Caden, tagging along. He and Rainie were best buddies. They shared a love of the piano. The two of them were too cute. Each would sit on one end of the music bench, playing.

"Alright! Food's ready!" I hollered as a stampede of people rushed into the kitchen, fighting for a plate. I stood back, knowing better than to try and fight it. Last time I almost lost a few fingers. When the crowd died down, and the family was outspread through the house, I got some potatoes and cornbread, not being very hungry.

"That's all you're gonna eat?" Junior asked me. I nodded, stuffing another piece of cornbread into my mouth. He smirked and snagged a forkful of my potatoes. I gasped in mock horror.

" Junior freakin' Tama!" I scolded, swatting his fork away from my plate. His eyebrows shot up.

"Aiyana freakin' Tama!" he imitated in the same scolding tone. I rolled my eyes, not letting on to the fact that just hearing his last name attached to my first made me giddy.

"You know I hate it when you do that!" he just smirked and kissed my forehead.

"I only do it to spite you." he declared.

"Chyeah, I know." I snorted. He just gave me and angel's smile, dimples in full force and went off the got more food - food of his own. I peered through the mass of people in my house and spotted my daughter perched on Jimmy's lap, licking potatoes off of her fingers as Jimmy's girlfriend laughed at her. I grinned and set my sights on my parents. Dad was in the corner with mom near his side. All these years and my dad still looked at my mom like she was a precious piece of art, the most beautiful thing in the world - the way Junior looked at me sometimes.

Smiling to myself, I made my way over to Chevy who was now occupying Rainie's attention. She sat near him, fiddling with her uncle's tribal necklace. I sunk into the couch near the two of them."Unca Chevy Truck, can I ask you a question?" Rainie said after a moment. Chev looked down at her.

"Sure, Raindrop." he smiled. She giggled for a moment before asking."Where do babies come from?" Chevy's face went from delighted to sickened, to terrified within seconds. He looked up at me, searching for help. I held my hands up in surrender.

"You're all on your own bud! Be creative." I said patting his arm, turning my attention to a very enthusiastic Caden.

"Aunty Ya, I got a fire truck today!" she squealed, holding up a little red fire engine. I grinned. He looked so much like Avery."That's cool Cay Day!" I beamed. He grinned a toothy grin before going back to playing with his truck on the carpet. I caught the tail end of Chevy and Rain's conversation. He was so confused on how to explain, he resorted to quoting Knocked Up.

"- a stork, he umm, he drops it down and then, and then, a hole goes in your body and there's blood everywhere, coming out of your head and then you push your belly button and then your butt falls off and then you hold your butt and you have to dig and you find the little baby. "

I burst into laughter, Chevy looked at me smugly as Rainie contemplated his explanation. "But I thought a mommy and daddy have se-" I cut her off, dropping my hand lightly over her little mouth.

"Well I think that's enough of that conversation. Rain, Uncle Chevy is right. Your butt falls off and then you dig and all that other stuff, kay?" I asked her. She nodded, clearly confused by the logic. I looked up, just to see Junior laughing his ass off at me. "Real funny Tama!" I grumbled toward him. He smirked and I turned back to my girl. "How about you play the piano for us now?" I asked. Rainie nodded happily.

"Aunty Kai! Can we play now!?" she asked. Kai nodded, swooping her up and setting her down on the piano bench. "I'll play and you can sing!" she said. Kai nodded.

Rainie lifted to key cover and grinned at her aunt before letting her little hand fall over the keys, catching everyone's attention. I had heard her play this song a million times, but it never seized to amaze me, how truly fluid she was. She never tripped up or stumbled. The room filled with a happy melody as Kai began to sing, her voice sounding like butter, smooth and soft.

Fair is the white star of twilight.

And the sky clearer at days end.

Fair is the white star of twilight.

And the sky clearer at days end.

But he fairer, and he dearer.

He, my heart's friend.

She always brought me to the verge of tears when she sang. So beautiful and pure. I glanced round the room, my family, my friends, my life. I had so much to be thankful for, so much to enjoy. I considered myself one lucky lady. A husband that I loved with my heart, a daughter that was the perfect balance of us both.

Fair is the white star of twilight.

And the moon roving.

Fair is the white star of twilight.

And the moon roving.

But he is fairer, he batter worth loving.

He, my heart's friend.

Life just doesn't get any better than that. Thinking back on the rough times that got me here, I'm thankful for every bit of them. Every bit of pain - physical and emotional. It was worth it all.

AN: SO there you are, the end. Hope it was good. Thanks again to all the people that reviewed and had anything to do with the story.

And to answer a common question - "Will there be a sequel to Chasing Pavement/More Than Anyone?"

Yes, there will be eventually, but I have some request as well as Broken Bones to get done first, but there will probably be sequels! So be on the look out for future FanFics!
