Finally Home

Well guys this is it, the final chapter, I'm a little sad, but hopefully soon I'll have a new fanfic. Thanks to Alice-In-Wonderland, chase-Mistress, Tweaty hobbs, MickeytheMouse, fangsgirlOO7, Twilight Fay, Lana, Twilight-Keeper of the Origin, Yori, Lindsay P., x0xEmeraldx0x, The end has no end, Slytherinbabe05, and PreciousWolfie for reviewing!

When Vivian opened the car door, she was wrenched out of her seat by her near sobbing mother.

"Oh honey! I've been so worried!" Esme completely surrounded her arms around Vivian, pinning her arms to her sides. "After you told me Gabriel was sick… and you got attacked! I wanted to come get you so bad, but I couldn't…I couldn't find where you wrote down the stupid name of the resort. Are you ok?" She pulled Vivian back, looking deeply at her daughter, even though her eyes were flooded with tears.

Gabriel came around the car to see what all the fuss was, and found himself being grabbed by Esme.

"Are you okay? Vivian told me you were attacked!" she then pulled them both into a crushing hug, Gabriel who towered over all of them, looked to where Bucky was, seeing him laugh hysterically beside Jenny Garnier. Bucky was holding her baby girl, laughing and cuddling the baby. Gabriel gave him a curious look before being bombarded by other questions.

"Mom…" Vivian complained, "this isn't really the time to discuss it!"

"Esme, do you think we could fill you in tonight?"

Tomas interjected, gently pulling his mate away from the alphas. "Yes sweetie, give them some space before you drown them." he mouthed a sorry and pulled her away, giving her a handkerchief.

All other pack members who were behind Esme came up to the alpha's greeting them, Vivian was pulled into a hug by Renata, who told her that she had been worried too, of course Esme would tell Renata about what happened. Thankfully Renata had enough sense to not spread that.

The four were close behind. Greg threw Vivian over his shoulder and ran out to the middle of the hug yard, the other three following close behind. They were all in ski jackets, and heavy pants. Vivian couldn't help but laughing as Gregory spun her around then put her on the ground. Instantly a snowball fight started.

Gabriel leaned against the car, watching Vivian play with her age-mates. He smiled and laughed as they ran around the yard constantly scooping up fresh snow and hurdling it at one another, till they were red in the face and lay down on the snow. They all commenced to make snow angels.

All thought the snowball fight was over until Willem lobbed a snowball at Vivian's face, which caused an all out war at Willem. While the five of them were building snow forts and picking teams, Gabriel made his way over to Bucky, Jenny and her baby.

"Hey guys." He said. Jenny's baby, Maggie, was sitting in the snow, picking it up with her pudgy little hands and throwing it into the air. Her squeals caused Gabriel to look down, and when Maggie noticed him, she lifted up her arms for him to pick her up. She was so close to the ground that he bent all the way over just to pick her up, and cradled her on his hip.

Maggie put a mitted hand on his nose, and then Gabriel blew a raspberry on her neck causing her to squeal with joy again.

"How was the ski resort?" Jenny asked, snuggling next to Bucky.

"It was all right, until the other day, we ran into some other loup-garoux. How was everything here?" he asked Bucky, who he had assume the position as filled in leader until Gabriel returned.

"Very good." Bucky smiled at Jenny, wrapping his arm around her shoulders and kissed Jenny on the forehead. "Oh by the way, don't tell Vivian, but you guys are going to get a big dinner tonight, kinda a welcome home thing, so you might want to get some rest, it'll be exhausting." He rolled his eyes.

"Hey! Us women have been slaving over hot ovens all day!" Jenny laughed, lightly punching him in the shoulder.

There's the surprise! Remember Jenny and her crying baby at the meeting in Rudy's house, well she and Bucky are now together! Yay! New couple! My next fanfic will be set during the time of Vivian and Gabriel's vacation when Bucky assumes pack leader and falls in love with Jenny Garnier! It might be a week or two before I can post it! But you will all love it very much!

Gabriel tickled Maggie's stomach as he watched the snowball war going on at the other side of the lawn. Jenny let him take her over a bit and build a snowman. Gabriel squatted on the ground showing Maggie how the gather the snow into a ball. He thought about how one day he and Vivian would have children and he would be out with them like he was now with Maggie, playing and teaching them everything about childhood.

Suddenly all three of his sisters jumped him from behind. Despite his wound, he turned on them and grabbed all three in a bear hug, lifting them off the ground.

The triplets hugged him back; they had missed their big brother, and helped him and Maggie make a snowman.

At one point Gabriel caught Vivian's eyes across the yard. He smiled hugely at her, waving and she waved back with the same expression then blew him a kiss. He winked at her, and then turned back to Maggie. He picked her up and tossed her in the air, then catching her.

The baby's laughing reached Vivian's ears as she watched them and the snowball fight, she let Gregory take over for a second.

She loved watching him play with Maggie, knowing that when they had children he would be an amazing father.

"Can you believe it?" she said to Gregory who was too busy hurtling snowballs at Ulf's face, "One day, I'm going to have his babies." She said dreamily then laughed when Gregory gave her a look that practically said "you distracted me just to tell me you can't wait to get pregnant?"

Vivian tumbled in laughter as her distraction caused him to get pelted on the side of the face. Across the way Willem pumped his fists in the air as a sign of victory.

They never felt more at home than right now, the whole pack outside, being like a family, no bickering, only love. When the snow fight was over, all of them wiped with exhaustion, they gave up, not sure who was the victor. Jenny and Bucky had taken Maggie inside and Gabriel was waiting on the porch for Vivian.

When she came up the steps and saw him sitting there asleep in a rocking chair she went over and slowly snuggled up on his lap. She rubbed his chest, waiting for him to wake up.

His eyelids slowly opened and realizing Vivian, he wrapped his arms around her, placing a small kiss on her forehead. He began to rock the chair rhythmically.

"Guess I fell asleep then." He sighed, and continued rocking. She curled up her legs and he rubbed her shins. She pulled back a bit to look at him, worry crossing her face.

"You've been so tired, I hope its nothing serious."

"Honey…I'm fine." He promised her.

"But what if you aren't? What if you're only well for a little while?" he stopped her before she worked herself into a fit.

"Vivian, I'm going to be all right, if you want me to check with Persia I will, but I can tell you I feel fine, and tomorrow I'll feel better. I just don't like not sleeping in my own bed."

They stayed in the chair for a while, watching the snow fall lightly on the lawn. Then, after telling Esme, they headed down to the woods for a walk. Taking their favorite path, they slowly trudged down the hill, seeing that no one had been down here recently.

Vivian pulled her hat down over her ears and snuggled next to Gabriel.

He puffed out large clouds of breath, laughing when she joined him.

"It feels good to be home," he said, wrapping his arm around her.

"Yep, this is home." This home was better than the first, so untouched by humans, beautiful and wild. They walked deeper into the woods the snow had stopped falling and only their footprints followed.

"Hey look, mistletoe," Gabriel said pointing up into a tree. Vivian followed his finger then was pushed underneath. Gabriel pulled her into a deep kiss, and when she pulled back she said

"I don't think you're supposed to push girls under the mistletoe."

"So?" Gabriel said kissing her again, when he pulled back to get her reaction she said dreamily:

"I guess you have a point." The she pulled him close by gripping his jacket.

She pushed her tongue into his mouth, and he pressed her against the tree, wrapping her completely in his arms. Growing dizzy from lack of oxygen five minutes later, they pulled their faces back, but kept their bodies anchored together.

"You taste good," she said with a warm sexy voice. He smiled then nibbled her neck. Then they turned back to the inn, ready to land in front of a warm fire and drink hot chocolate. When they came through the front door, and hung their jackets on the coat rack and dispensed of their boots they headed toward the kitchen but before they could open the door, they were shooed out by a flour covered Renata.

So the couple retreated to the living room where everyone was watching a movie. Gabriel threw two pillows in front of the TV and the fireplace then lay down, Vivian's head on his arm. He propped the second pillow underneath his shoulder. Hopefully Persia could make something that would stop its burning.

Vivian and Gabriel propped their toes up on the hearth, Bucky brought Gabriel a beer and Vivian some hot chocolate out of the crazed and secret kitchen.

As Vivian propped herself up to drink, Gabriel pulled out her ponytail and tangled his fingers in her hair.

The four were criticizing the movie the whole time, making fun of the characters. Finally they were told to leave if they didn't want to watch it, but having nothing to do, they shut up.

Every once in a while Vivian would feel Gabriel's fingers stop moving in her hair and when she looked over he'd be fast asleep. Then he'd wake up suddenly and see the worried look on her eyes.

"Don't worry!" he tried to reassure her. But Vivian did worry and decided to talk to Persia about it later. Vivian put her empty mug to the side and draped her right arm over his chest, rubbing long circles onto his stomach and up.

Occasionally heated arguments were heard from the kitchen and the pack could here the metal clang of flying instruments.

"Damn it! I told you that there needs to be flour in here not sugar!"

"Oh! Well excuse me for not being able to tell a difference!"

Vivian thought of venturing in there to see what Renata and Esme were bickering about, then realized that it was nothing serious, they'd be laughing about it by dinner time.

When the movie was over the Kitchenettes had moved to the dinning room where they were laying out Esme's best china.

Vivian lifted her head at the smell making Gabriel laugh at the hungry look in her eyes. He pulled her head back to his chest. She pressed her ear to his heartbeat, taking in the deep thump, so thankful to hear its beat. She pushed herself towards his mouth.

She slowly kissed him, telling him to keep his lips still. Her tongue touched his lower lip on his scar, which she then nibbled gently. She left him with a butterfly kiss then put her head back on his chest.

Another show was on but no one was really paying attention to it. Bucky and Jenny were curled up on the couch while Maggie sat in her playpen playing with her fat grey wolfie.

Bucky put his hand underneath Jenny's chin, bring her lips to his. His hand wrapped to the back of her head as he slipped his tongue into her mouth. She caught his shirt in her hands, pressing herself against him.

Dang. Vivian thought. I never guessed those two would get together. And I never thought she could be so wanting of a guy like that. She was referring to Jenny's hand, which had just slipped under Bucky's shirt. Bucky pulled his tongue out and looked at her with a tremendous smile. Then he whispered into her ear something very sexy, which she beamed at and seductively answered to.

Finally they were all called to dinner. Gabriel sat at the head of the table with Vivian at his right and beside her Persia. Esme sat on the other side of Gabriel, then Tomas, then Renata and the four. On the other side of Persia sat Bucky and Jenny, Maggie in between them in her highchair. The rest of the pack sat at the other end of the table. (Sorry I can't remember their names!) They all piled their plates high, filled their glasses with wine and began to eat.

This was a late Christmas/early New Years Eve dinner. Vivian bit into her steak, watching Gabriel slowly eat his meal, she wondered if his shoulder was bothering him.

Halfway during the meal she told Persia quietly about her trip and what happened to Gabriel. She voiced her concern about Gabriel being so tired and Persia told her to come to her house out back for some sleep draught that would rejuvenate Gabriel over night. And tomorrow, Persia promised, he would be his usual self.

Vivian sighed in relief and went back to her plate. There was a constant chatter across the table, the pack telling asking Vivian and Gabriel how their trip was, them asking how their Christmas had been.

Vivian and the four were carrying on a conversation when Renata noticed Vivian's ring.

"Girl bring your hand over here!" Renata exclaimed as she dragged Vivian's hand above the cranberry sauce to examine the ring. Esme leaned over Tomas to examine it; just making sure her little girl got what she deserved.

"Oh, Gabriel, you picked out a lovely ring," Renata goggled over it: Gabriel had done his best and went for 2 karats; it was a simple band because that's what Vivian wanted.

"We're going to get the wedding date engraved when that time comes." Vivian said her hand still stretched across the table. When Vivian got her hand back she moved towards Gabriel, kissing him.

Esme was about to burst with happiness that her daughter was going to get married, to the leader nonetheless.

After dinner Gabriel and Vivian followed Persia outback to her private house.

The inside was like an incense bomb had gone off. Vivian and Gabriel coughed as the incense burned their noses.

"Sorry dears." Persia mumbled and extinguished the incense, which helped minimally.

She motioned for them to sit down on the sofa. Gabriel hadn't told Vivian yet, but his wound was beginning to burn.

"Let me see the wound." Persia commanded as she moved to her side table that was littered with herbs.

"Vivian, you're mother came here when you called her, and told me everything. Gabriel, what did you feel after you were bitten?"

"I blacked out a lot, ad my head's been throbbing. And I remember I was foaming at the mouth; and my shoulder has been burning."

Persia removed the bandage, the marring still fresh, however Gabriel's face had healed leaving no scarring. (Honestly did you guys think I could ruin a perfect face?).

Persia went back to the table, stirring and crushing herbs. After about five minutes of no talking she came back with a thick green goop.

She dipped her wizened hands into and slapped it down on his shoulder. The burning increased 3 fold. He gritted his teeth.

"Calm down, it will cool soon." And it did, after 15 agonizing minutes. "All you need to do is reapply this once a day, for a week, then it will heal evenly."

She took a new bandage and wound it tight around his shoulder.

"What about him being so tired? Is that a side effect?"

"It could be, I'll make a sleeping draught, you'll need to take the whole thing tonight, and it will knock you out instantly. You'll sleep for three days at the most, depending on how extensive the damage was. That way your body can get back on track."

She disappeared into the kitchen. "I'll be back out in half an hour so you two make you're selves at home." She called, closing the door.

Vivian took Gabriel's shirt and slid it over his head. She wrapped her arm over his chest, warming his skin with her hand.

He leaned sideways, wrapping his hands around her lower back and kissed her gently. Vivian moved her head, tasting his lips. She wrapped her fingers into his black hair.

They curled up on the couch together; the pungent smells coming from Persia's kitchen were getting unbearable.

"I guess she lost her sense of smell years ago if she lives with all this incense." Vivian snickered in Gabriel's ear. He chuckled and pulled her head down to his chest.

In thirty minutes Persia came back with the sleeping draught. They took it back to the inn with them, Vivian carrying it since Gabriel was becoming too exhausted. She took his hand, pulling him up the stairs. She squeezed his hand to make sure he was still all there. He squeezed back and looked up at her with a tired smile.

Finally inside their room she closed the door and she took off his clothes, putting on his pajamas then changing into her own.

"Come on big boy, lets go to bed." She led him to his side. Gabriel was so exhausted that when he lay down he immediately started to doze off. She gently woke him, and slid an extra pillow under his shoulder.

She gave him the drink, watching as he swallowed it to the last drop. She put the mug on the bedside table, hovering over Gabriel, she watched as his eyes closed.

"Sweet dreams baby." She kissed him, a few drops of the sleeping draught on her lips. She licked them away, feeling a little sleepy instantly.

"Vivian." He moaned, holding his arms out the best he could. She wrapped her arms around his chest, lying on top of him. "I'm right here." She said listening to him falling asleep. His heartbeat paced normally against her ear as she started to fall asleep. She tightened her hold around him.

Gabriel sank into a deep sleep, Vivian's warm breath against his chest as he wrapped his arms around her back.

Vivian awoke the next morning; her face nestled against his neck. Gabriel was in the same spot, still sleeping heavily. She looked over at the clock it was 10: 16. She groaned and settled back beside him, pulling up the covers so they could be warmer.

She looked over at the window, seeing that the sun was threatening to glare through at any moment. So she pulled away from Gabriel and went into her drawer. She pulled out a black silk night mask. Gently lifting his head, she slipped the strap around his thick hair and placed the mask over his eyes.

He looked pretty funny with the mask on; Vivian bit back a laugh and got off the bed. She tucked the covers around him, kissing him lightly before going to take a shower. All the while during her shower she kept hearing little barks coming from the downstairs. Was it the four? It better not be or she'd ring their necks if they woke Gabriel up.

Vivian got out of the shower, dried her hair and then got dressed. The snow was still thick, and she could see the snowman that Gabriel had built with the girls. She looked back at the bed reminiscing about yesterday.

She didn't doubt that he'd be a wonderful daddy.

"Oh god, I can't believe I'm thinking about that already!" she whispered. But she knew that one-day, after college they'd have pups of their own.

She made her way down the stairs into the kitchen for a bagel.

"Morning mom," she said to Esme.

"Good Morning honey." She returned. Esme yawned and returned to her coffee. "Where's Gabriel?"

"He's asleep, he won't be down for a few days. Persia gave him a draught that's supposed to rejuvenate his body."

Esme stood up and looked into the mirror hanging on the wall.

"I could sure use that," she mumbled to herself. "Hurry with your bagel, you haven't unwrapped your Christmas presents from me yet."

Vivian had forgotten all about it and ate as fast as she could, following her mother into the living room. They were alone, the rest of the pack at work or out.

Esme sat Vivian down on the floor and put a heavy package on her lap, the box had holes in it.

Vivian's hands shook as she picked up a distinctive scent. She undid the large bow, looking at Esme's eyes light up.

She lifted the box lid. A large pair of eyes looked up at her, a long pink tongue stuck out as its tail wagged.

Vivian squealed uncharacteristically as she pulled the puppy out of the box. It put its big paws on her shoulders as it licked her face. It yipped as Vivian held it, tickling his stomach.

"He's adorable!" she exclaimed.

"Well I always knew you wanted a puppy and I thought this was the right time to have one." Esme reached out scratching his ears.

"What is he?"

"An Irish Wolfhound, he's going to get pretty big though."

Vivian put down the black wolfhound with a white crest on his chest. He ran around the living room, then pounced right beside Vivian, little butt in the air with his tail wagging.

"Want to play outside baby?" she cooed to him. The puppy barked and rushed to the front door, already knowing where it was. Vivian threw on her boots and jacket following her puppy.

Esme stood on the porch and called to her across the yard. "What are you going to name him?"

"I'm not sure," Vivian called back, "I'm going to wait till Gabriel wakes up so he can help me decide."

Esme went back inside.

Vivian made a snowball and held it in front of his face then threw it. He pounced after it, wondering why it disappeared.

After playing for a while they went back inside. Esme decided to take Vivian out to get new supplies for her new puppy. They went to the pet store to get a collar, and inexpensive one for now because he would be growing fast. Vivian bought him a squeaky toy, a leash, a bed, and lots of other puppy necessities.

"Is he house trained?" Vivian asked wearily.

"Of course! I can't have a dog ruining our inn!"

Fast forward to that night.

Vivian slipped into her room, the puppy and his bed in tow. She put the bed in the corner of the room then shut the door. Vivian put him in his bed and went to change. She then stood beside Gabriel who hadn't moved since this morning. His breathing was slow and steady. She ran her hand over his chest, and then bent down to kiss his neck, nipping it lovingly.

She knew this wouldn't wake him up so she nibbled him again, and then placed a long kiss on his mouth. Even though he was right there, she missed him and needed to hear his deep voice. His lazy rumble of a voice reminded her of summer time, their favorite time.

She felt a scratching against her leg and looked down at her wolfhound.

"What baby?" She cooed and picked him up. "Do you want to see your daddy?" she laughed and held him close to Gabriel. The puppy sniffed at Gabriel, wagging his tail and yipping.

"No, no. Don't wake him up silly!" She put him down, watching as he ran around the room.

"I think I know what to call you," she said picking him up and petting him. "I want to call you Landon, but we'll see what Gabriel thinks."

She put him down in his bed, making him stay there before crawling beside Gabriel. She scooted under the covers lying completely against him. She put her head on his good shoulder, her leg draped over his and her hand rubbing his chest.

Vivian breathed in his scent over and over. She kissed his shoulder then finally drifted into sleep. Landon bit into his squeaky toy making a small squeak, which did not wake them up and he too curled into his little round bed.

Gabriel stirred, a dream happening:

Vivian stood in front of him smiling and waving then turning to the forest, walking away. Gabriel slowly followed her, almost "hunting her" as was their game. He jogged after her golden slim figure and finally caught up to her in a glade.

He wrapped his arms around her, closing his eyes and burying his nose into her neck where he marked her. He ran his hands down her belly, expecting it to be flat, but it was big and round.

He opened his eyes in surprise and turned Vivian around to look at her large pregnant belly. Vivian laughed at his wide-eyed look and stood on her tiptoes to kiss him, pressing herself against him. When she pulled away, Gabriel dropped to his knees and placed his hands on her stomach, feeling for the baby.

He felt the tiny thing move, kick and punch. He laughed, dragging his hands along the movement. The sun shined all around his mate as he looked up at her laughing. He placed his ear to her stomach listening for the small heartbeat. Then he placed a kiss on her belly, and stood.

Gabriel wrapped his arms around her, laughing with joy as she was too.

"We're going to be parents!" she exclaimed reaching up to put her fingers in his thick black hair.

He brought his hand back to his stomach, following their baby's movements.

"What a kicker," he laughed.

"You're telling me!" She retorted then kissed his chest.

He then picked her up, which was definitely more difficult, but he didn't dare say a thing.

"So my love, where would you and our baby like to be carried to?" He looked her deep in the eyes, love pouring out with each word.

"We want a swim." She laughed and wrapped her arms around his neck. He took her to the suddenly appeared stream and set her down, he put his fingers to the back of her sundress, untying it slowly, then slipping off his own clothes. He lifted the hem of the dress off her and threw it to the ground, they walked slowly into the stream, holding hands.

Gabriel went in first and seeing that it was slippery he hooked his hands under her shoulders and lifted her into the shining water. She dipped her head into the cool stream, watching as Gabriel did the same then he shook his head like a wet dog, laughing. Vivian splashed him with water.

He looked back at her stomach, he couldn't help running his hands over her big tummy, it was so amazing that he and Vivian were having a child.

"You…"he choked out, tears coming to his eyes suddenly, "…you are so beautiful, just standing there. I've waited so long, for this day, when we would be together." His voice became thick as she moved towards him. "When I saw you, the very first time, I knew I wanted, no I needed you. And now, we're having our own child." It was so sweet how choked up he was getting.

"You make me so happy Gabriel." She kissed him, brushing away the few tears that trickled down his cheek.

He moved her through the water, then sat her on the rocks beside the edge, making sure she wasn't cut. She leaned back against her hands. Gabriel stood in the waist deep water, while small droplets trickled down his chest and belly. He picked up her feet, massaging each one. The sun beat down on his back as he leaned forward, pressing his chest against her cool breasts, he kissed her longingly, then ran his mouth over her cheek, and rubbed his nose against hers.

He warmed her slim arms with his hands and then sat beside her on the rock. He wrapped his arm around her shoulders, rubbing her arm, and placing his head on her shoulder. She rested her head on his, and placed her hand on her stomach, where the baby was moving around.

Gabriel put his large hand over hers, feeling his child moving. He snuggled against his mate. Vivian rubbed her cheek against his wet hair and moved her feet through the water placing playing with Gabriel's toes.

Gabriel leaned back against the grass, pulling his legs out of the water. He stretched out on the grass, letting the sun dry him. He touched her back lightly, motioning for her to lay beside him. She put her hands behind her head, their sides just touching barely. Vivian was slowly drifting off to sleep, so Gabriel gathered her hair in his hands, fanning it out above her. He turned to his side braiding her hair slowly.

The sun came through the French doors again, but did not wake any of them up. Vivian was still curled against Gabriel, her hair sprawled over the pillow.

Gabriel stirred from his happy dream. His hand came to his face, removing the sleep mask. He opened his eyes to it, looked at it puzzlingly and then threw it to the side. He felt Vivian curled against his side. He slowly moved his shoulder, it wasn't burning, in fact there was no pain at all. He also felt extremely rejuvenated.

He ran his hand over his face, wiping the sleep from his eyes. Then he brought his arms over around Vivian, pulling her body to his. He rubbed her back slowly, kissing her neck and cheek until she woke up.

Gabriel watched as her eyes open then her realization that he was awake. Her head popped up immediately to see his big, lazy smile.

She suddenly started kissing him, tangling her fingers in his hair, then stroking his cheek.

She pulled away, "Let me see your shoulder."

He pulled off his shirt, a little difficult in the lying down position, but when it was off she took off his band-aid.

Underneath was a perfectly unmarred shoulder, the skin smooth and golden, and no sign that it had ever been damaged.

She ran her hand over the skin, sighing with relief. Then snuggled back to him again, propped on his chest.

"I've got something to tell you." She whispered to him, he was still a little drowsy so her next words seemed jumbled.

"We have a little one." She smiled.

Gabriel's eyes shocked open in hope. "You're pregnant?!"

Vivian looked at him confused then realized what he was talking about and laughed.

"So that's why you were rubbing my stomach all night. No baby, I'm not pregnant."

Gabriel said "oh," disappointed. She kissed his nose.

"We've got a long while honey, don't worry, you'll be a daddy before 30."

"How about 26?" he laughed.

"Maybe, but no promises. What I meant by 'we have a little one' is that Mom got us a puppy. An Irish wolfhound. Can't you smell him, he's across the room."

Gabriel sat up, letting Vivian scooting away and point to where Landon lay asleep. He only stared across the room so Vivian got out off the bed and went over to Landon waking him up. He stood and stretched, wagging his tail at Vivian. She picked him up and placed him on the bed. When Landon found his footing he bounded towards Gabriel and leaped against his chest, licking his chin.

To her relief he laughed picking up the dog and putting him down on the bed beside Vivian.

"I've never had a dog before." He claimed.

"Me either. Do you like him?" she asked.

"Of course." And to prove it he picked up Landon and put him in his lap, scratching behind his ears. "What's his name?"

"Well, I wanted to wait until you woke up, but I kinda like the name Landon."

Gabriel looked down at the puppy, then nodded his head, "that's a perfect name for him." Landon looked up at Gabriel, his long pink tongue hanging out and his tail wagging fast.

"There's one problem though," Gabriel said. "If he's a wolf hound, won't it be in his nature to hunt wolves?"

"I guess so…what would we do about that?"

"We'll have to take him on runs with us, so that he knows the pack in their human and wolf form. Otherwise we could have a serious problem."

"He's a little small now to go on runs, and I don't want him being left behind with the four. Those pups would probably pick at him."

"Vivian, you're already worrying about him like he's your baby."

Vivian pulled Landon up beside her, pressing his face to the side of her face and pouted at Gabriel.

"That's because he is our baby!" then she burst out laughing and rolled off the bed with the dog.

Gabriel watched as she disappeared out the door, Landon trailing at her heels.

He got out of the bed, stretching then lumbered into the bathroom.

Under the hot stream Gabriel ran the soap over his healed shoulder and then he soaped up his face. He shaved slowly feeling for any missed hairs then washed the rest of his body.

(A/N: sorry guys I just had to have the beard shaved, because after seeing Oliver Martinez play Gabriel with a beard it just grossed me out. Look for the movie review at the end of this chapter.)

He stepped out of the shower, and looked in the mirror seeing a well-rested face. He hadn't slept so well in ages. Another day of sleep would have been great. He dried his hair, slipped on some clothes and headed downstairs.

He stopped by a window looking out to see Vivian outside sitting on the porch.

He opened the front door after putting on his boots and jacket, stepping out.

Even as he approached her head stayed turned away. Gently he stroked her face, moving his hand down her throat. She looked up at him then wiped away the last tear that had fallen.

He dropped to his knees taking her face in his hands, pressing his forehead to hers…keeping her there for sometime.

"If you keep crying, I'm going to think that you're unhappy honey." He said softly.

"No…no. I'm just—still worked up over what happened." She slid her arms under his cradling herself to him, their faces still pressed together. She sniffed and clutched at him.

"But it's okay now baby, I'm all better now." Vivian looked at him, and then touched his clean-shaven face.

"I know…but I don't know how long it will be until I stop seeing you lying there in the snow." She paused and kissed his jaw on each side. "Don't you ever leave me." She whispered seriously.

"Never." He said looking her straight in the eyes. "How can I leave the woman I love?" then he kissed her straight on, their noses smashed together, not even bothering to move it was just a quick searing kiss to seal the promise of a lifetime.

"I wouldn't know." She answered, touching his face again. "I'm glad you shaved, I missed seeing you, a beard makes you look too old."

"Well, then we won't have to worry about that again, will we?" he smiled wrapping his arms around her. "We'll be all right. I promise." He said in her ear then pulled her away from the porch to their path.

Into the woods they disappeared with Landon trailing behind.

They wrapped their arms around each other making their way through the deep crunchy snow, watching their puppy prance around and fall into deep piles of white.

They stopped and Gabriel pulled her to his chest, she pressed her ear to his heart then kissed his chest.

He encircled her small body with his arms, lifting her off the ground in a tight hug and they continued deeper into the woods.

Gabriel turned and whistled for Landon who popped out of the snow and ran after them.

The End.

Okay movie review time.

I saw it on opening night and I just have to say I did not like it at all. During the whole beginning I was like this is nothing like the book so my friend Jessica turned to me and said: "Just forget about the book." So I did and when you see this movie just think of it as a fanfic.

The only part I liked was their eyes turned gold. And Rafe reminded me of a husky because one of his eyes was blue while the other was dark brown.

AND GABRIEL WAS UGLY! WAHHHHH!!!! That's why I shaved the beard in this chapter. And he was kind of small, not all big muscles, strong, and sexy and over six feet like I expected. His motorcycle probably wasn't even a Harley. Sad face. And Astrid was blonde! And had short hair. Basically I hated the movie and for those who go to see it, please go to a showing that isn't expensive so you won't waste your money. And Vivian is a freaking chocolatier. Wtf?

On a lighter note I did like the soundtrack, it was pretty good. And Aiden was pretty hot. I suppose why I didn't like it so much was that the action scenes were just not thrilling enough for me. As you can tell, I love being on the edge of my seat when watching an action movie, and I was reclining the whole time. Oh well. I'd give it 3 stars, for being a fanfic, and because the music was pretty good.

But back to my story…

Thank you everyone who has read it, I know some issues came up about the sex scenes being a little too explicit, so I promise if my next fanfic is like this, well, I'll give it an M for a rating. But hopefully that means I won't loose all my wonderful, faithful readers. You guys have inspired me and look for my next fanfic on Bucky and Jenny coming soon, hopefully no more than two weeks! This damn project at school is almost over, so I'll be free! FREE I TELL YOU! Hahaha.

By the way who's seen Casino Royale? I know it's been out forever but Daniel Craig is soooooo dammnnnnn finnnneeeeee!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I love Daniel Craig. and my birthday was the other day!

Now I've slacked off on my english paper way too much, so I'll end here.

I love you all sincerely! Please give some really long reviews since this is the last chapter. But remember my fanfics are on going so it never really ends!

Love,

Dahlila
