Claire watched in admiration as Nate played with some other kids at the park they had chosen for their picnic.

He looked so happy.

Over the years, he had sometimes questioned her about his father, and told her how kids at school laughed at him cause he had no daddy. This sometimes made him cry...and broke her heart.

She simply told him that his daddy had gone somewhere far away. That he may return someday.

And he indeed has returned.!

He just didn't know he has a son.

"Claire..."

She froze!

"Jake!?" She said as she whirled around, leaping to her feet,not believing her eyes!.

"What are you doing here!?"

"How did you find me...again!?"

She noticed he was looking past her...at Nate!

He couldn't possibly tell Nate was his son... Could he?!

He seemed so exhausted...and confused?

"Am I the bastard that had gotten you pregnant...?" His voice was calm, but impatient.

"Is Nate...my son?" He asked staring right into her eyes now. His weren't angry or upset, he rather looked...remorseful!

    Claire was going crazy! she couldn't believe this was happening right now!Jake nodded his head, still smiling, amazed at the child's confidence... He was starting to believe, he was really his son!"It's alright baby, go on now...we'll talk about it later..okay?" Claire assured him"Alright mommy..." Nate replied, as he reluctantly turned to leave, he looked sad.He looked back at Jake for a moment as he walked away...The look in his eyes hurt Jake to his soul!... The kid must have missed growing up with his father beside him... He for one knew what that feels like.And so did Claire... Then he was gone, back on the playground with his friends...though, he didn't seem too cheerful anymore."He's sad.." Jake said, absentmindedly.Claire faced him now.He was still staring at Nate at the playground.She thought he also looked sad himself...was he feeling guilty?

    "So, am I alive, because Nate turned out to be human?" She asked curiouslyJake didn't want to tell Claire that it was probably too early to tell whether or not Nate was actually human or werewolf. Usually, they transform for the first time when they turned thirteen or fourteen years old, like puberty stage. This is known as the Awakening; a second biological transformation where his ability to shape shift will manifest. But for now, he wasn't entirely sure, because, he couldn't sense or feel anything out of the ordinary for Nate.. just his growing affection for the kid...his kid!"Yes Claire...it would seem so" Jake replied.Claire sighed and nodded her head...she was once again relieved, that Nate was really Human.!"So what now Jake..?" She held his gaze, watching his reaction."Before that..!" She suddenly remembered"How the hell did you know where to find me...find us?!"Jake smiled.******************************After Jake had waited for almost three hours outside Claire's bar

The male voice saidZoey cleared her throat..she was turning red now."Brody....not right now" she said lowering her voice, feeling quite embarrassed"Really?..watsup? Is boss with you!?"Boss?

    "And here I am..." Jake said, after narrating to Claire how he had found her."But why is your phone unavailable?" He asked, frowning."I put it on 'flight mood'. Didn't want to be disturbed.""It's something I do whenever I go out with Nate..." She explained."Should have just switched it off then.....""Right... But then I wouldn't be able to take pictures of us having a good time together, would I?" She replied, defensively, crossing her arms below her breast."Fair point" Jake smiled.She amused him still...even after all these years.But now he was distracted by her huge breast propelled forward by her arms crossed beneath them.."My God.. she's still so beautiful"His groin was involuntarily starting to react to his lustful thoughts!"Hello?" Claire called "Mmm..what?" Jake asked momentarily lost."I asked you...what are you going to do now?""But seems you were too busy staring at my breast!"Jake smiled.He wouldn't deny it."Yes...I was" he said.Claire shook her head..."you

Thomas exclaimed as Jake narrated to him how he had found out that he had a son..and Claire was the mother."Are you sure!""Yes Thomas...I am""But that's almost impossible...!""Yes...almost" "Seems Claire is special after all.." Jake smiled."It's not funny Jake! She could have died!""I know Thomas, and I assure you, it wasn't intentional...I can't even start to explain what that woman has done to my head since that night, when I first met her...I couldn't even control myself with her!"Thomas gaze him a look."Point is, Thomas, I didn't intentionally put her in harm's way ""So what now?"

Claire replied She sighed and dropped hard into a couch.Grace helped her return the basket of leftover snacks and some other things they had carried for their picnic, to the kitchen.Then she came back to sit with Claire."Tell me about it..." She insisted"Does it have anything to do with the man that came looking for you?" she asked.Claire had told Grace about Jake. But not the werewolf part anyways.

Trying not to sound too affected by what she had just heard, minding her boundaries."I don't exactly know why Grace..or if am okay with it..." "I guess am just trying to give him a chance at least....for Nate's sake " And for my sake too... I needed to be sure he wasn't just a monster!....she thought to herself.Grace stared at her for a moment... She didn't like this at all!"Fine" She said at last."Do you need me to help you prepare?" "It's fine Grace..you can go home now, I think I got this" Claire gave her a reassuring smile."I can sleep over if you want me to.." Grace persisted"I'll be fine Grace..."

    Few minutes later, Jake and Claire were on their way to a destination, unknown to Jake. Only Claire knew where they were headed. Jake didn't mind, as long as she was with him. Oh, I forgot to mention, Claire did own a car now.. small, used and cheap, but still works!.She was driving. While Jake was busy turning her own with his blazing stare and sensuous light touches!.Grace was staying over with Nate. Claire had called her earlier to inform her of her little unplanned detour. "Thanks Grace. I love you!" She had said before ending the call. She had no doubt Grace would always come through for her."Are we there yet?" Jake asked for the fifth time. Not that he was in any hurry to get to their destination...wherever that is, he wanted her off the wheels, so he could make love to her.... Fuck her brains out! For turning him on so much!."Almost" Claire laughed."If you keep distracting me, i may have to go a little more slowly " she warned him playfully.Jake leaned in closer to her

    Jake resumed his pacing, thinking."Kora..." He said, as he suddenly stopped pacing.******************Monday evening, Jake was already sitted at Claire's bar sipping whiskey from his glass, while watching--longingly--- as she worked so efficiently. She was in her casual wear as usual. Still, she looks so beautiful. Watching her, put his mind at ease, at least, for this moment.He has been sitting there for almost an hour now.It was just herself and Brody.Jake had ran into Zoey lurking outside the bar on his way in."Oh fuck!!!" She had exclaimed, startled by his sudden appearance.Jake remained silent, watching her."You startled me!" She said trying to regain her composure."What are you doing here?" Jake asked, ignoring her banter."Well...""You are obviously not on duty today.." Jake continued giving her a slow once-over, scanning from her head to her toe.Zoey felt shiver run through her spine...and heat between her thighs! "My God! Why is he staring at me like that?!!"

    "Yeah...I heard you Thomas" "What are you going to do now?" "Find him and kill him all over again..and make sure he remains dead....this time" Jake replied coldly.Thomas sighed."What about Claire and your son? He may be after them too""They will be safe." Jake said without any more explanation."Alright then. You know am also available if you need my help?""I can handle it..." "Thanks " he said rising from his chair."Leaving already?""Yes. I need some rest, and have some planning to do ""Alright " Thomas nodded"See you around Thomas " Jake said and turned towards the direction he had come from.Thomas watched him walk away. He could sense the tension of his muscles and the anger rising within him. He kept watching him, with concern, until he finally disappeared into the darkness of the night.When Jake got home. He was really disturbed by what he had learned. Point of correction, he was mad!He took off his shirt... He was getting really hot!--hotter than usual.!He paced hi

    "Yes, Thomas " Jake grinned"But you can't do that Jake!""Yes... She's still human, and I may put her in danger again if she got pregnant...""IF she got pregnant? You don't plan on giving birth again? Does she understand all that? " Thomas queriedJake sighed."I don't know exactly how it's going to work yet, Thomas. But it was more like a promise of our love to each other. And she accepted, although I already kinda told her about werewolves impregnating a human...what happens during child birth and all... But she accepted still, she may not fully understand the consequences yet...but we'll talk about it, and figure it out" Jake explained."Are you planning on turning her, Jake?""I don't know yet, Thomas. We haven't talked about it. I Love her with my Life, and am not letting her go. And if she loves me enough to want same, then, I'll let her make the decision....""What if she doesn't want to be like us...?

    Claire laughed.. "Am sorry Grace.. I was a bit carried away. Long night " she blushed"Ofcourse.. and here I am scurried over, out of worry, thinking you needed some saving or emotional support " Grace teased her, but looked sad."C'mon..am sorry, my Knight in shinning armour" Claire teased back, trying to lighten her mood. She reached for her again held her face and placed a kiss on both sides of her cheeks."Am I forgiven now?" She asked laughingGrace stared at her...if only she knew her simple gesture had just made her wet! And how she was driving her crazy! If only she could bend her over on the kitchen table right now and invade her core.! She relaxed now and smiled."Alright Claire.. I forgive you".********************************************When Jake arrived at his home back in Grimoire, he was feeling quite peaceful and happy at how things had turned out with Claire and Nate.As he approached the stairs leading up to his bedroom, he noticed a note on a table in the livi

    "Hello Grace" Claire greeted, beaming as she hugged her."Good morning aunty Grace" Nate greeted, from the living room where we was sitted at the front of the flat screen tv, watching cartoon."Good morning Nate!" Grace called back."Good morning Claire" "Someone seems really excited..am guessing you had a great night?" Grace asked laughing "Yes Grace.. it was amazing" Claire exclaimed excitedly"Oh..that's nice.." Grace said awkwardly, jealousy starting to overwhelm her.Claire pulled away from Grace and held the hand bearing the ring up to her face, still beaming with joy."What's....""I got engaged Grace!!!" She said leaping with joy.Grace tried so hard to hide her hurt..but she couldn't."By whom?" She asked, quietly"Jake!" "Oh..."Claire stopped now as she noticed grace's cheerless expression."Why? What's wrong Grace?" She asked."I-- nothing really -- I just don't want you getting hurt... that's all. I hope you know what you are doing, Claire?" Grace explained, with conce

    Claire nodded"Right... I can't let you go through that again. So if we really doing this, it's either I turn you..or you don't give birth anymore..or we don't do this at all." Jake said, looking away, he couldn't hold her gaze anymore.Claire remained quiet for a while. The thought had crossed her mind before she accepted his proposal. But she hadn't really given it a serious thought. She was in love with Jake and she wants him. But she's not quite sure yet what she's willing to give up to be with him. Her humanity? Giving birth again?"I understand Jake. I am not quite sure of what to do yet.""It's alright, darling. Take your time, we'll talk about it some other time. Right now, keeping you both safe is my priority " Jake said.Without saying anything else, Claire hugged him again and remained in his arms. Overwhelmed with mixed feeling, she was quite confused now. But one thing was very certain, she loves him and wasn't going to let him go.Before Jake left, Nate was already awake

    "What's going on Jake..?"Jake bent over and knelt down on one knee in front of her. Claire clasped her hands over her mouth as he did so.."Oh my God..Jake ?" She exclaimed"Will you marry me, Claire Michaelson?" Jake proposed, smiling so brightly, holding out an open red ring box, containing a beautiful silver ring with a glistening heart shaped diamond on top! It was gorgeous!"Oh my God!!" Claire exclaimed again.."This is unbelievable! Are you being serious, Jake?" She asked in disbeliefJake nodded, still smiling."Yes!!! Yesss!! I do Jake!! Ofcourse I'll marry you!" Claire laughed, excitement overwhelming her. She stretched forth her left hand as Jake carefully slides the ring onto her engagement finger, and planted a kiss on it.Claire beamed with joy as they kissed and hugged."It's so beautiful, Jake!" She commented, excitedly."Am glad you like it. I was a bit worried you might not" "I love it!" Jake smiled."But, Claire, I'd still have to leave...I can't stay for now." J

    When Claire awoke again, it was 7am already. She stretched and yawned, reaching for Jake as she did so, but the bed was empty besides her.!She suddenly became wide awake, as she turned swiftly and sat up on the bed. She looked around, he wasn't there, neither were his clothes! She scurried out of bed alarmed! Pacing around."Where did he go??!""Did he leave??!""No..that can't be...he couldn't have just left--Nath!" She suddenly remembered.She hurried out of her room to Nate's.As she barged in without knocking, she stopped at the door, eyes wide open, her chest visibly heaving from panic!"Sshhhh..." Jake shushed her, looking rather amused than surprised."You are going to wake him." He added, quietly.Claire gradually relaxed now..."I thought-- I thought you left...." She started to say, but ended up sobbing quietly, turning away from Jake, resting her forehead on the door.Jake rose quickly and reached for her, turned her around and took her in his arms."Am here, darling...am
