His Mate's Sister

Chapter 12-Christmas Pt 3

Lori and I invited Frank and his parents over for Sunday night dinner, we wanted to discuss telling Amy about the whole werewolf thing. I'm making my grandma's chicken parmesan, Lori's making a chocolate cheesecake. Amy's busy making the salad while I'm browning the chicken, Lori put the cheesecake in the oven then grabbed the pasta pan out of the cabinet. She put water in the pan then placed it on a burner to boil then went to the dinning room to set the table. She was just about done setting the table when the doorbell rang, "I'll get it" she yelled out. I was arranging the chicken in the casserole dish and placing mozzarella slices on each of the chicken pieces, Amy placed the finished salad in the frig then put her attention on the spaghetti noodles boiling in the pot.

"Mmmm, something smells good in here" I look up to see Frank entering the kitchen.

"Shouldn't you be in the living room making sure your mom and Lori aren't making flower arrangements for our hypothetical wedding that our moms have been planning since we were born" I smile at him as he approaches the counter.

"Who says it's still hypothetical" he winks at me.

"Am I missing something?" Amy glares at us, I look at Frank then we both look at Amy and laugh.

"What's so funny?" Lori asks walking into the kitchen.

"They're acting weird" Amy turns her attention back to the spaghetti, Lori walks over to the frig and grabs a bottle of White Zinfandel then she grabs some wine glasses out of the cabinet.

"So what were you guys talking about?" she puts the glasses down on the counter then opens the wine bottle, she pours the wine into the glasses.

"I was warning Frank about leaving you alone with his mother" I opened the oven and put the casserole dish in.

"Warning against what?" she furrowed her brow at me.

"She thinks you two are talking flower arrangements" Frank told her.

"For what?" she puts the bottle back in the frig.

"Their hypothetical wedding" Amy chimes in.

"Oh that" Lori laughs picking up the glasses, "that's already done. We're working on seating arrangements now" she laughs walking out of the kitchen.

"Not funny" I yell out to her.

"It's kinda funny" Frank chuckles, I just glare at him. "Okay maybe not that funny" he puts his hands up in surrender.

"So are you guys like a thing now?" Amy leans on the counter staring between us. I furrowed my brow at Frank looking for an answer.

"Only if she'll have me" he said to her but kept his eyes on me, I blushed and smiled.

"About damn time" she shrieked and clapped her hands. "I'm so happy for you guys" she wrapped her arms around me and hugged me tight.

"Okay, let's not make a big deal about this" I said to her. "It's not like we're getting married" I opened the frig and pulled out the dough for the bread sticks.

"Oh come on, you two have been pining for each other for ages" Amy said pulling a cookie sheet out of the cabinet.

"I don't know what you're talking about" I grinned looking at Frank through my lashes, I shaped the dough into sticks and placed them on the cookie sheet then I brushed them with a butter and garlic mixture.

"Oh I think you know exactly what she's talking about" Frank said coming around behind me and wrapping his arms around my waist. I smiled as he nuzzled his nose into my neck and breathed in my scent, "Mmmm, you smell so good" he tightened his grip on my waist.

"Ahem" Amy cleared her throat, "I think I'll put these in the oven" she grabbed the cookie sheet from in front me and placed it in the oven.

"Maybe we should curb this for now" Frank whispered in my earthen kissed my neck.

"Why don't you go see if your parents need anything" I told him.

"Okay" he left the kitchen.

After dinner Lori, Amy and Mrs. Marcello washed the dishes while Frank and I talked to his father. We sat in the living room drinking coffee, I wasn't sure how I was going to approach the subject of telling Amy.

"How are you doing after learning our big secret?" Mr. Marcello asked me.

"Let's just say I won't be drinking and baking at the same time anymore" I chuckled.

"Well that explains all the cookies you guys had at the bake sale today" Frank chuckles a little.

"Yeah well the hangover wasn't fun" I shook my head.

"Aww, my poor Emily" he pulled me into a hug and kissed my head.

"Did we miss anything?" Lori asks walking into the living room with Amy and Mrs. Marcello.

"Just Frank making fun of me for getting drunk and baking all those  cookies" I teased.

"Yeah, I wish I had gotten it on video" Amy chuckles then yawned.

"Aw honey" Mrs. Marcello puts her arm around Amy's shoulder, "maybe you should retire for the night" she told Amy.

"I am quite tired" Amy said with a yawn, "I'm gonna head up to bed now. Good night Mr. and Mrs. Marcello, Frank" she said then headed up to her room. We waited a couple minutes before Lori and I decided to speak, Lori and Frank's parents sat on the couch, Frank and I sat on the love seat just to the left of the couch.

"Okay, so Emily and I wanted to talk to you about Amy" Lori began to talk to Mr. and Mrs. Marcello.

"What about Amy?" Frank asked.

"We were just wondering if she should be told about what the father of the baby is" I sheepishly stated.

"That depends" Mr. Marcello said leaning forward.

"On?" Lori asks curiously.

"Whether she plans on keeping the baby or not" he says straight forwardly.

"Has she decided yet?" Mrs. Marcello asks.

"She's still weighing her options" Lori tells them.

"Where would the baby go if she chose adoption?" I asked them.

"Before the pup is born I would reach out to neighboring packs in search of a home for him or her" Mr. Marcello told us.

"And what would happen if she decided to keep it?" I asked, Mr. Marcello took a deep breath then looked at his wife. I turned to look at Frank who has decided to lower his head. "Okay" I stood up, "obviously you're hiding something or you just don't know what to do if she keeps the baby" I start ranting. "Is there going to be an issue if she keeps the baby?" I ask bluntly.

"Emily dear please stay calm" Mrs. Marcello pleaded with me. "This situation is new to us, we've never had a human impregnated by a wolf that wasn't her mate before" she explained to me.

"So what you just planned for her to put the baby up for adoption? You didn't even discuss what to do if she kept it" I said disappointedly.

"That is a subject we must bring before the council" Mr. Marcello said.

"The council?" my eyes widen. "What council?" I ask in shock.

"The werewolf council" Frank finally spoke, I glared at him.

"So this council decides what happens to my sister's baby?" I ask disappointed.

"Wait" Lori stands with her hands in front of her. "Amy has no say?' she asked confused.

"That's what it sounds like to me" I tell her.

"It's not like that" Frank stands up, "this is new territory" he said. "We have to consult with the council on how to handle it" he said sternly.

"I think it's time to call it a night" Mrs. Marcello said standing up.

"Maybe you're right" Mr. Marcello replies. "Thank you for a lovely dinner girls" he nodded to us, "Frank we'll see you at home" he looked at Frank, Lori walked them to the door. Frank started to walk towards me but I put my hand up and stopped him.

"Maybe you should go too" I looked at him with tears in my eyes.

"Emily" I cut him off before he could say anything else.

"Please" I walked away and went up to my room.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I watched Emily leave the living room and go upstairs, Lori came back in just as Emily walked up the stairs. She looked at me with sad eyes, I couldn't bare the hurt in her gaze so I looked down at the floor. "I'm sorry" I said not looking at her.

"If you were really sorry you would find a way to fix this" she gritted her teeth.

"I'll do what I can" I promised her.

"We'll see" she walked away.

I went home with a determination to help Amy keep her baby if that's what she wants to do. Emily and Lori were right, Amy has a right to decide for herself if she keeps her baby or not. If she keeps the baby she'll have Emily, Lori and myself to help her. When I got home I went up to my dad's office, I walked into the office and sat down in a chair in front of his desk. He was on the phone and he held his finger up at me indicating to give him a minute, I sit back in the chair and waited patiently. I thought about what I was going to say to him but I was drawing a blank, he finally hung up the phone and put his attention on me.

"I'm going to help Emily and Lori tell Amy about Lukas" I spit out.

"No you will not" he told me sternly.

"Yes he will and I'm going to help him" I turned my head and saw Fred at the door. "She deserves to know" he told my father.

"Nobody will say anything until the council makes a ruling" my father said angrily. "She hasn't made a decision so the council will rule on a decision" he continued.

"She has made a decision" Fred told my father, my father and I looked surprised by Fred's proclamation.

"Since when?" my father asked.

"She informed Sheila a couple days ago" he said taking a seat next to me.

"Why hasn't she told Emily and Lori yet?" I asked surprised.

"She's afraid they won't support her" he told me.

"And what exactly did she decide?" my father asked agitated.

"She's keeping the baby" Fred looked at my father waiting for a response to his revelation, my father just sat there with his hands folded in front of his mouth. I could tell he was pacing himself before he responded.

"This is not going to sit well with the council" he responded.

"So what" Fred spat out, "she's not a werewolf therefore she doesn't need to abide by their rules" he declared.

"She may not be but that pup is" my father told him.

"Lori is mated to a member of our pack's warriors and Emily is mated to the Alpha's son, therefore Amy is a member of this pack" Fred stated. "She won't be doing this alone, she'll have support from everybody that loves her" he explained to my father.

"Alright" my father threw his hands up in surrender, "you have 2 days to figure out a calm and clean way to tell her" he told us and waved us to leave. Fred and I left the office and walked to the kitchen, Fred took a seat at the table while I went to the frig and grabbed 2 beers. I walked over to the table and handed Fred a beer then took a seat across from him.

"So" he turned the top off the bottle, "how do we do this?' he asked then took a sip, I twisted the top off my bottle and took a sip.

"I think we should discuss this with Lori and Emily first" I told him.

"Okay" he took another sip of his beer, "call Emily in the morning and set up a time we can get together tomorrow" he told me then killed off his beer and threw the bottle away. "I'm going to bed, see you in the morning" he got up and left the kitchen. I I pulled out my phone and unlocked it, I gulped down the rest of my beer then dialed Emily.

-------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I stepped out of my bathroom with a towel wrapped around my body, I walked over to my bed and sat down. I picked up my panties that I laid out on my bed with the rest of my pajamas, I put them on under my towel then put on my pajamas pants. Just as I was about to take off the towel to put my tank top on my phone rang, I looked at the caller id and hesitated. After 3 rings I finally answered the phone, "What do you want Frank?" I answered with annoyance in my voice.

"Can you and Lori meet Fred and me tomorrow" he asked me.

"Why?" I asked.

"We need to discuss how to tell Amy about everything"  he said.

"What about the council?" I asked.

"My dad is giving us 2 days to tell Amy before the council gives their decision" he told me.

"Why is he all of a sudden willing to do this?" I asked shockingly.

"Let's just say Fred gave a compelling argument" he chuckled.

"Come to the restaurant at 7 tomorrow morning" I told him.

"Okay" he replied. "Emily" he called out.

"What" I responded.

"I love you so very much and I would do anything to make you happy" he told me.

"I love you too" I told him. "I'll see you in the morning" I said to him.

"Okay" he replied then we disconnected the call. I put my phone back on the side table then put my tank top on, I left my room and went across the hall to Lori's room. I knocked on the door and waited for her to open it.

"What's up?" she asked when she opened the door.

"Frank just called me" I told her, she gestured for me to enter her room, I walked into her room and she closed the door.

"What did he want?" she asked as we walked to her bed.

"We're meeting him and Fred in the morning to discuss how to tell Amy everything" I explained to her.

"Okay. Where?" she replied.

"7 am at the restaurant" I told her.

"What should we tell Amy?" she asked.

"We'll just tell her that we're meeting the accountant at the restaurant to go over the finances" I shrugged my shoulders.

"Okay that sounds legit" she replied.

"Good" I said then headed to the door. "Good night" I said to her as I walked out of her room, I went back to my room. I walked into my room and went to close the door when a hand covered my mouth and an arm wrapped around my waist. I heard the door close then I felt warm breath on my neck, I felt a panic rise up in my stomach. I decided to take action so I elbowed him in the rib cage, he let me go and bent over from pain. I quickly grabbed my desk chair and held it in the air ready to strike as I turned to face the intruder. "Frank?" I huffed as I lowered the chair. "I could have killed you" I yelled at him.

He laughed as he stood up, "Kill me? No." he shook his head. "Brake a rib, I think you just did" he held his rib cage.

"Oh my God" I held my hand over my mouth and went to him. "Are you okay?" I walk him over to my bed and sit him down.

"I'll be okay, the benefit of being a werewolf is superhuman healing" he looked at me in the eyes.

"How did you get in here? And why did you scare me like that?" I said annoyed.

"I have a key remember" he said dangling the spare key my parents gave his family a long time ago. "I didn't mean to scare you, I wanted to surprise you" he looked at me with puppy dog eyes.

"Well you scared me, I thought you were an intruder" I threw a pillow at his face.

"I'm sorry" he caught the pillow mid air, "I hated the way we left things tonight after dinner" he grabbed my hands and looked me in the eyes, before I could respond he captured my lips with his and I didn't protest. I wrapped my arms around his neck and he placed his hands on my hips, he re-positioned himself on my bed and gently lowered me down on my back. He gracefully positioned himself over me, he nipped my bottom lip making me part my lips then he gently pushed his tongue into my mouth. Our tongues wrestled as our kiss intensified, I opened my legs and he placed himself between them. Our hips started grinding together which made us both moan, his lips left mine and traveled down to my chin. He continued to move his lips down towards my jawline then finally to my neck, he kissed and licked and even nipped at the skin of my neck. As he continued to grind his hips into mine and attacked my neck with his lips and teeth I couldn't help but moan, my hands gripped his hair tight as he continued with my neck. "I love you so much" he whispered into my neck.

"I love you too" I moaned out.
