A/N: I find it that once I don't update as often as I should, I tend to forget the smallest points in the story, so I plan to work my butt off to finish this off. So, as I continue with this, I plan to recycle some of the info I used in my recent fics like 'A Weird Kind Of Love' because I find it fit. This is the last chapter.

D: Disclaimed

Epilogue: Chapter Twenty-One

Peter's POV

At first, I thought Jacob was making all of this up, that this was just his way to get closer to me, that was until my eating habits changed drastically. I grew fond of raw meats, and hunting became another one of my habits. I used to save the small rabbits in the forest, now I was eating the poor little things like they were going out of style. I found it odd that Jacob would bring me a deer or any other meat, but I didn't hesitate to accept.

Jacob, even though I had been stubborn more often that I'd like, he has been supportive. I'm guessing I'm nearing my last trimester because I had been on the constant search for a den, at least now I knew what I was searching for in the beginning. I began digging in the safest place I could find, next to a stream so I wouldn't have to walk far, and in the most secluded area that I could find.

And, like I said, Jacob has been there for once my mood swings died down and I permitted him to come close to me. He would lay with me in the den, comforting me and nudging his muzzle into my belly once in a while. I found it awkward at first, but soothing after I became used to it. I actually found myself smiling as he spoke to my stomach as if the child would speak back. Paul would even tease him at times, according to Jacob, seeing that the link was still broken with the pack. Jacob said that Elias said that it would most likely return once the pup was born, right now, it was like we were forming our own pack and we'd rejoin our original one once it was the time.

I was finding myself in more of need for Jacob now, like I depended on him now. I hated that too at first, but now, it just feels right. We discussed our future, whether we had one or not. A child changes a lot; I knew that after we got through this, we needed an alibi. I even suggested that I play off as a single parent. I would say that I met a girl last summer somewhere in Seattle, her parents made her give up the child and I offered to it, it would kind of give an explanation to why the child would grow so rapidly; but Jacob wouldn't hear of it.

It wasn't fair on his behalf. Either way, society would question, especially the gossipers on the rez. So Jake suggested we leave for a couple years, somewhere not too far, but not close enough for people to wonder. I didn't like it at first, but Jacob had already suggested it to the pack, and Sam and Seth see it as a great opportunity for us to get out of here as well as build a relationship that we should have for our unborn child. At first, I felt as if I had no say in it, but after realizing that this was pretty much our only option, I agreed. Of course the council as well as the pack promised to help if we ever needed it. Jake would still phase and do patrols, so that meant we wouldn't be too far, and the pack had made the commitment to visit as often to make sure that I build the friendship I need as well as develop the family bond that I desperately craved.

Jake told me they sent their apologies for not noticing my absence and they were sure to it that it would never happen again.

'Have you thought of any names?' Jake asked, my head rested on his large neck.

'I haven't given much thought to it.' I replied honestly, 'most would choose to name their children after their ancestors or parents, but that's a route I don't think I want to take. I want it to be unique.'

'Not even the middle name?'

'Maybe, I don't know.'

It was the truth; all of this came up to me so fast that I hadn't had the time to think things through. Naming my child was the last thing on my mind; I'd figured I'd worry about it when the time came. I just missed Emily's cooking; I missed the formalities of just being human. Bathing in the same creek I drink from isn't as refreshing, sleeping on the ground just doesn't amount to a nice soft bed. And these mood swings intensified and linked with my nature of being a wolf, I'm a ticking time-bomb at times.

It was proved when I began chasing Jake out of the den, but I needed to. It was as if my wolf was telling me too, not mentally or physically, I just felt that I needed to be alone, that I just might be close to labor. I wasn't looking forward to find out exactly how this was going to work, but I was just hoping that I could get through this.

I don't remember much after I kicked Jacob out of the den but my vision going black.

Brady's POV

I had to grow up, and fast. I couldn't actually say that I was invincible; I knew that eventually after Paul and I stopped using protection, something would happen. I was kind of on the rail with this, I wanted to believe that I could have a family with Paul, but a part of me thought that it would never happen. Thinking about this a couple times actually upset Paul; it pissed me off that I couldn't keep my thoughts to myself as well as him being the only one in the pack that could hear me. I missed my brother's voices; I miss my parent's voices.

To top it all off, the pregnancy is just setting me off in the wrong ways. I watched as Peter kept his sanity more often than I could, I found myself losing myself more that I hoped. Apparently that was the side effect of the pregnancy, if I became a danger to myself with my temper, my wolf would take over, and it would be as if I blacked out until I was calm.

I felt guiltier when Paul would annoy me too, he was in fact trying his best to take care of me, and I would find myself acting like a jerk most of the time. I apologized every second I could, explaining that I am trying my best to be more considerate. I even mentioned that maybe it was best for him to just go home until I made it through this, but he plain out refused to leave my side. Dealing with my shitty attitude was apparently worth it to watch my belly grow day by day.

This actually gave the time for Paul and Jacob to reestablish the friendship they used to have. The nights I would let Paul lay with me in the den, he'd tell me about how this opened a lot of doors for us, how the pack was excited about the new additions, even throwing in the fact that Seth explained that mom wanted to talk to me and Paul after this, but I knew she'd be pissed off with me, so that was a conversation I was hoping to avoid. I found myself content whenever Paul would curl his body around mine, whispering to me just how happy I made him.

Never in my life would I have expected to give Paul Lahote a chance. I don't know exactly how his cockiness won me over, but I'm thankful that he showed his true colors in the beginning other than me finding out years down the road. He was an open book with me just as much as I was to him. He would admit to jealousy when others looked at me lustfully, and I admitted it to him that I act like a stubborn teenage girl when it came to the same situations.

Paul mentioned to me that after the baby was born that the guys planned on helping him renovate the house. After seeing the results of Sam and Seth's house, he felt that I deserved just as much. That and he planned to spoil the kid once it came. I in fact was nervous to birth the child and becoming a parent, but Paul gave me assurance that as long as we were in this together, we'd be fine. And I had absolute faith in those words once he spoke them.

But when I heard that Peter went through several painful hours to deliver, I became anxious because I knew my due date wasn't far off. In these past two weeks, I've been more dependent on Paul, refusing to let him leave, which was a different outcome then what Peter did. It became a chore for him since he needed to gather food for me and stay by my side as much as possible.

During this past month we hadn't had any vampires invade our boundaries, and of course Elias explained the reasons for that too. We stink. Plain and simple, but we give off the scent that they can never tolerate, this was a way for us to go through the pregnancy unharmed. But that hadn't stopped the pack from staying on alert.

I felt guilty after realizing that I had pushed my brothers away. But leave it up to them to test the boundaries of it, it was my wolf being protective, and even another submissive can send us on the edge.

I knew I was close because I could feel it. I was making preparations when I wasn't even aware of it. The last day, I wouldn't let Paul anywhere near the den as I dug the den a little deeper. And just like Peter mentioned, everything went blank after that. You still feel the pains of it, but it's like you're not there. It's a very strange feeling once it happens.

From what I could remember of that night was Paul's worried rambled thoughts and the pain pulsing through my midsection.

Seth's POV

Even though Jacob is the father of a baby boy, he still tends to his pack duties while he works his relationship out with Peter. They moved in a double trailer past Forks, but not far enough for him to see us every day. I haven't gone to their house nor have I made contact with Peter yet. I knew I had to, we both did, but there still was that tiny barrier between us. I wasn't going to let it hold me back much longer though, I was the other alpha and that meant I had to go to lengths to build that relationship between me and my pack members.

Lucas Black has both his parents wrapped around his finger apparently, according to Sam; he's already the boss of Jacob and Peter. It's often he does come to visit Billy as well as becoming acquainted with Noah Lahote.

Noah was born exactly two weeks after Lucas, and they're already growing faster than the normal rate. After the first few days of him being a pup, he was brought home after he phased to the baby boy he is. He's changed Brady and Paul's life for the better; they both quit drinking and took their business careers seriously. Leah moved home just to be the babysitter slash favorite auntie. So while Brady works out the numbers for 'Lahote Enterprises,' Paul keeps the business intact with the hiring as well as working to make the business more global.

Sam has agreed to stand as the alpha until Jacob returns back to the reserve with his family, until then, I told Sam that we were going to wait to start our family until everything calms down. Both of us being an alpha as well as Sam running 'Uley Mechanics' and me returning to school to get my teaching degree, we weren't exactly ready to settle down. In the beginning, Sam wanted me to run the business with him, kind of me following Brady's footsteps, I denied the offer because it just wasn't something I wanted to do. Thankfully he understood what I wanted to do and fully supports me to reach my goals.

This actually has given me the time to take my turns as well to watch my nephews. Noah and Lucas have opened my eyes a lot, Sam's too. Every moment spent with the infants has brought me closer to the idea of having my own; they have helped me see that I couldn't wait. Watching Sam bond with the infants has been a sight to see as well. Just like Jacob, he spoils the kids. Tending to them when they need it, I knew that Sam would be an awesome dad, and I knew that he was eager to start our family.

Wyatt's POV

It wasn't much, but it was our home. I had no clue that Jared was hiding it from me, but he did surprise me with a one-bedroom house back in Forks. I wasn't too fond in the beginning to move to the small town, but it wasn't far from home either. It sort of worked out for the best too, after speaking to Embry more and more about him becoming a doctor, I found myself actually going in to study to be a part of the medical field. So I was now taking classes with him at the college while Jared decided to partner with Sam with his business.

I never really understood why Jared wasn't so insistent on asking Sam to add his name to the deed as well as the company name, but he said it was simple; he doesn't plan to stay in the business that long. Once I completed my first three years here, we were moving to Seattle to complete my schooling, after that, we'd move back here and I would be offered along with Embry to take on the duties here at the medical center as well as the hospital in Forks.

I asked Jared what he wanted to do career-wise, but he's not entirely sure just yet. Once he gets me through school, he just might end up work with Sam once again while he sells his art. I always loved his ideas as well as his drawings; I even mentioned that he should become an architect once Paul goes international with their business, so he has thought about it.

Mrs. Cameron, Jared's mom, has been bugging though lately about me becoming a Cameron as well. I admit that I thought about it, but I don't really know if I was ready for it, besides the finances weren't actually in our favor at the moment with me going to school and the bills we had to cover. But I had told her I would think about it.

Right now I was content with the life I have with Jared.

Collin's POV

Brady and Peter's idea of throwing a big birthday bash for Lucas and Noah's first birthday was a success. They both look around three or four, their speech has advanced more than a regular infant, and they're practically partners in crime when they're together.

I've come close friends with Peter. Ever since the pregnancy, I've made the effort to be friendlier than I have. I can see that Peter is still trying to adjust to the pack, even conversing with Seth when not being ordered. I can tell my brother is trying, and Peter has finally come around that him and Jacob were together now and there was nothing that could change that.

I really thought that at least Wyatt and Seth would've joined the pack children contributions, but neither seems to show interest just yet. I can tell that Seth looks forward to it whenever he comes to see Lucas, which is usually with me.

Peter has adjusted to parenthood quite well and has given me a few tips on the way. He has actually opened up more too, teasing me at times about expecting soon.

Honestly, I had no clue where we stood on that. We went as far as discussing it, but that was it. I didn't want to hold Embry back from his last year, he plans to board with Wyatt and Jared when they go to Seattle, so that means being apart from him is going to be difficult on the three of us. And after finally finding a place for the three of us, Embry was leaving for a year.

Quil has given up on trying to phase. It wasn't with a negative touch; he just figures it will happen when it happens. But for now, he's been working with his dad on taking over the charity and volunteering at the shelter until he decides to go back to college. He still wants to be a physician, but only once Embry is done and home to take care of me. I clearly explained that I was willing to go with them anywhere for them to achieve their goals, but Quil refuses to put our finances in jeopardy all because he was chasing a dream. And since he's a stubborn individual, he chooses to work with Sam and Paul any chance he gets between working with the charity and the shelter.

All in all though, I love the life I do have. Brady has grown so much over the year, mentally I mean. Ever since him and Paul dedicated themselves to their business, it has taken off in the positive direction. Not only are they great parents, but they're also one of the most successful couples in the area. Wyatt and Jared have been living in Forks for the past year and Wyatt strives to catch Embry up, it's safe to say by next year we'll have a certified doctor in our pack, and another one in a couple years. Leah has even met her fiancé in Port Angeles on her and my many shopping trips. She plans to marry Garrett within the next few months, though the date hasn't been set.

So, in a couple days we were saying our goodbyes to Embry, Wyatt and Jared, and I don't think I was ever going to be ready for it. Of course Embry promised to call us everyday, but it's a big difference than having him here next to me.

Sam's POV

There are two reasons why we're celebrating today. Embry was returning today, and Collin hasn't shut up about it, that and the fact Wyatt and Jared would be coming back to, to meet the new additions, Eva Atera and my beautiful son Carter Uley.

A few months after they had left, we found out Seth was pregnant once he nearly phased in the house. I don't mean to brag, but Seth kept the most composure of himself when he had phased. We knew once he couldn't return to his human form, and those three months being with him only made us stronger. But two months in the pregnancy, Collin joined him, which meant that Quil phased for the first time in five years. Imagine the pride Quil was giving off once he found out he was going to be a dad and that he could phase once again.

During this time, Jacob returned to his rank as the alpha and watched over the pack as much as possible. It all really fell into place perfectly, in this time Jacob moved him, Peter and Lucas home. The only downside to it was that we had lost Billy to his disease. Jacob refused to let the house go, so Peter was the one who suggested that they move home after that.

Even though Jake seems a bit lost without his dad around, he still shows leadership and appreciation for the life he has. He told me that him and Peter plan to have another soon, but after everyone returned home.

So once Seth gave birth to Carter, we planned on a private ceremony to unite our family as one. Harry had offered to give the blessing, so that's what we did once Eva was born. Paul and Brady followed not long after that, then Jacob and Peter.

With Embry's absence, he was so eager to come home and meet their daughter. I wasn't sure about the situation, but they decided to work it out as it was, Eva would always call Embry her dad too.

So imagine the tears that fell once Embry walked through our door. Fatherhood looked great on Embry, he held the girl for hours and continued to tell Collin and Quil how beautiful their baby girl was.

As the celebration continued, we decided on taking a group photo, with all the children knowing that it wouldn't be long before Wyatt and Jared would have their own. Even though I was still protective over my kid brother, I've been eager to see them have the privileges of becoming dads. I know Wyatt would fit the role so well, especially with my best friend by his side.

As the years passed, the pack grew. Like I said, Wyatt wasn't far off. It was kind of hectic when he returned home and a week later he was stuck in his wolf form, that and the fact that he was out there with Brady and Peter. Him and Brady needed to be set in their boundaries and weren't allowed near each other. We all thought their feud was overpassed, but once their wolves came face to face, it took all of us to pull them away from each other.

Three months later with two days apart for each, Sean Cameron, Kyle Lahote and Haley Black were brought into the pack. Not long after that we welcomed Adrian Call with proud parents of Collin and Embry. She was the last of the pack children.

As the pack has grown, we've lost a few along the way. Harry first, then Sue, then Quil's father. After Seth and I had our daughter Susan Uley, we decided to give up phasing. After that, so did everyone else. We wanted to watch our children grow, and once Lucas phased, so did Noah. Both Jacob and I had promised to teach them everything we knew until we knew they were ready to lead the future generation.

The day I saw Seth, Brady, and Collin Clearwater, I knew they had something to do with our futures. Sure we had a rocky beginning, but who doesn't? It took our every effort to change our ways, to be more considerate to them as submisives, but we did it. As a dominant, I've learned a lot from Seth. How to love, how to care, how to lead as well as how to just be the best husband I could be.

Every day that passes is better than the last, and I have Seth to thank for that. Paul has Brady to thank for that. Quil and Embry have Collin to thank for that. Jared has Wyatt to thank for that. Jacob has Peter to thank for that.

We all have the pack of submissives to thank for making our lives… perfect.

A/N: I did my best to wrap this up perfectly, and honestly, I'm satisfied with every bit of it. I want to thank all of you for making this fic what it is, and for reviewing just to let me know that you like it.

I was about to finalize my decision on closing the vault on writing Twilight fics, but every time I try, I come up with another plot. So, just to let you know, Cursed will most likely not be my last, I actually have an idea to start another one… soon maybe.

Oh, this will be my last fic in regards to M-Preg.

So please review.

Much Love,
