[Mid-Eclipse] Two year old Claire Titan had just woken up from a great nap. Later in life she would know that the pretty pictures she saw when she slept weren't always pretty. The pretty pictures quickly left her mind when she realized that she wasn't in the carseat she'd been in when she'd dozed off. Panic immediately overcame her and her little face broke into distress. "Mama?" she yelped, tears already forming in her sleepy eyes. Thankfully, Emily Young's sister was in the next room and heard her daughter awaken. She quickly scooped her up and Claire immediately wrapped her arms around her neck, letting her mother comfort her.
The next thing she saw was her Aunt Emily. "Emwee!" she squealed. release her arms from her mother's neck and reaching for her. She hadn't seen her for what felt like a looooooong time and at this point she knew that Emily liked to give her cookies. This was like the best ever![tag: Quil, La Push gang welcome ]

Quil was a bit bored today, so he thought he'd go visit with Sam. He had heard that Sam's sister in law was there for a visit with her two nieces, so he thought he'd go over and say hi. It was the friendly thing to do, plus he was nosey to see what Emily's family was like. He hadn't been to Sam's place much because he usually spent so much time with Embry and Jacob. Now seemed like the perfect day to make up for lost time.
Quil strolled up to Sam and Emily's front door. He was his usual barefoot self, and wore cargo pants and a black sleeveless top (still enjoying showing off his ever growing muscles). He knocked twice at the door, hoping that now was a good time for a visit and that he wasn't interrupting them.

Emily had smiled warmly at her little niece and had been merely inches away from taking her into her arms when there was a knock on the door. Claire suddenly didn't feel sleepy anymore and her eyes darted towards the door. Whatever was happening had stopped Emily from picking her up. "No!" she screeched, her mouth pouting. This was so unfair! Her anger was quickly when Emily smiled and seemed to deliberate about the door. Later Claire would learn that Emily wasn't sure about having a werewolf so close to a child. She normally would have been upset, but her eyes were awake with interest and intent on the door now.
Pulling the door open, Claire saw the biggest person she'd ever seen! His head almost reached the top of the door! His hair looked funny, but he liked not wearing shoes just like she did! She looked at her mama expectantly, but she didn't look back. Instead, smiled politely while Emily introduced her sister to the tall man.

Quil smiled his impish grin when Emily opened up the door. He gladly walked in as she introduced him to her sister. "Quil Ateara, very nice to meet you. Sam and Emily are good friends of me, we're practically family right?" He said winking at Emily. He wasn't sure how much of her life she had explained to her sister so he wasn't about to tell her just how close he was to Sam.
Once Quil was inside he thought it'd be nice to say hi to the little munchkin he could see down by his feet. Quil bent down, ready to politely say hi to the girl and hopefully not scare her off. Kids usually liked him, but after having such a growth spurt lately, he couldn't be sure he wouldn't seem like a giant to the toddler. He hoped at least by bending down to her level he'd seem less intimidating.
"Hi there! I'm Quil..." Quil started saying, his voice soft and cheerful. He stopped talking however as soon as he looked into the girl's eyes. It was a feeling like he had never felt before, feeling drawn into her. His heart beat faster and he could feel a surge of happiness flowing through him as he continued to stare at her in awe. Nothing else in the room seemed to exist. He barely even existed, only she did. It was a connection he had never felt before, not even with his pack brothers.

Claire turned back to the tall man who was now speaking to his mother. She wanted to talk to him! She was just about to vocalize her frustration with whatever she blurted out, but it seemed like Quil was one step ahead of her. He bent down from his superduper height and was now talking to her. Yea! He said a few words that she knew, and realized that he was called Quil. What a funny name! It sounded silly and it made her smile a toothy grin when she blurted out "Qwil!" still not realizing that the volume wasn't necessary. But he was smiling at her and she thought he was so tall! Her mother used the simple instructions she recognized which prompted her to give Quil her own name. "Cwaire!" she exclaimed. Now that she did what her mother told her like a good girl, maybe Quil would pick her up. She wanted to be tall too!. Her smile grew wider as she reached out for him, demanding a lift into the air. "Qwil!"

Quil was absolutely mesmerized by this girl. He knew instantly that he had to stay and spend time with this girl today. He no longer cared about finding out how similar Emily and her sister were, or in trying to find out some dirt that the sister may know about Sam that he could use later to chide him with. Now the only thing Quil was focused on was the perfect child before him.
As he saw her smile at him, it was as if she had just given him a million dollars. He was filled with joy seeing her happy. He felt almost as if his heart couldn't contain the happiness she was giving to him right now. He wanted to live for her now. He wanted to continue seeing her smile, to make her happy. He wanted to protect her from all harm. He was so grateful she hadn't started crying, he desperately wanted her to like him.
When he heard her say his name he smiled wider, then hearing her say her own name. "Claire" He repeated, thinking the name sounded pretty just rolling off his tongue. He saw her reach out for him. She wanted him to pick her up! This was great! Quil instantly did as she had silently asked of him and gently lifted her to his arms as he stood back up.

Claire giggled a sweet chortle when the tall man said her name. It sounded so pretty when he said it; his voice was different than mama's and made her tummy feel like she'd just had ice cream. "Qwil!" she repeated. She wanted him to have ice cream too because it tasted so good. She was ecstatic when she did exactly what she'd wanted and plucked her off the ground. He brought her so much higher in the air than she could ever remember, but she felt fine when she automatically placed her hands on his shouder, beaming at him in gratitude.
This was so fun! Why wasn't everyone as tall as Quil was? And so warm! His arms were better than the soft blanket mama always brought with them everywhere they went. This was better than Emily's cookies! She turned to her mother, wanting to tell her the great news about the cookies and ice cream and blankets and Quil. "Mama Qwil," she told her, as if the two words conveyed everything that was exciting her right now. Her mother nodded indulgently and giggled softly. But no one noticed the look on Emily's face, worried about the fact that her neice was in the arms of an unstable species. And worried about the expression on his face that looked somewhat familiar....

Hearing Claire's giggle made Quil's heart race. Seeing her happy was the best feeling in the world. He had thought that realizing he was a member of the pack was a great feeling, but that seemed like nothing compared to the thrill of seeing this child happy. Someone could tell Quil that the sun would never rise again and he wouldn't care if he still had Claire's smile in front of him. He wondered if he would even notice if the sky was falling when he was in her presence. He wondered how it was that this small girl could make him feel this way.
He watched delighted as the girl told her mother his name. She seemed to enjoy saying it. Quil was careful as he held her not to hold on too tightly. He knew that the grip of a werewolf could be stronger than expected so held onto her as he would a piece of china, not wanting to break it. He didn't even notice the worried look that Emily was giving him. He couldn't tear his eyes off of Claire. "Claire, is this too high for you?" He asked wanting to make sure she was completely comfortable. He wondered if he should be sitting in a chair when he held the child. He often saw people do that with babies.

Claire was loving being up so high from the ground in the warm blanket arms with Quil. He had a pretty smile and she liked when he talked to her. She wasn't sure what he was talking about, but she liked being there. This was like playing games with mama. Oh! A game! She wanted to play a game with Quil, she was sure he was gonna laugh like it made her laugh every time. She remembered one that she played once, but mama told her not to play it anymore. Maybe Quil would let her play it.
Still smiling, she leaned in closer and touched her pudgy little finger on the tip of Quil's nose. Before her mother could stop her, she quickly stuck it up his nose and immediately started laughing in delight at her success. "Ewwwww!!" she squealed. "Boogah!"

Quil watched Claire in amazement at how full of life she was. He had never met a child before who had seemed so much like a little person to him as she did. She had her own personality and a sparkle to her eyes that made him melt. He could happily stare at them forever. She seemed to be happy with how he was holding her, not seeming uncomfortable or too hot (another worry of his as he wondered if he should have worn long sleeves today to better protect her from his skin.
He watched closely as Claire leaned in bringing her finger to the tip of his nose. He smiled at her wondering if she was just inspecting him or thinking he had a big nose. Then she suddenly stuck it into his nose on a mission. He laughed at her exclamation as if it was the funniest joke he had ever heard. "You're so silly!" He told her, tickling her stomach lightly.

She knew it! She knew that he would laugh at the game as much as she did. And his laugh was just as yummy as the parts when he said her name. Silly! She knew that word. Mama said that word whenever she made her laugh too!.Claire let out a deep, heartfelt laugh when Quil tickled her in just the spot mama always did. Tickling was so fun, she wanted to try it too. She took her finger out of Quil's nose and used the same hand to try and tickle him at his neck, hoping that it worked. "Silly!" she exclaimed.
She turned to her mother, who had noticed Emily by then and now looked confused. But Claire barely noticed, she just wanted to give her mother the latest development. "Mama, Qwil silly," she reported, laughing again since it always came after the word.

Quil could see in Claire's eyes just how delighted she was as he laughed at the booger she had pulled out of his nose. It filled his heart with joy seeing her so happy. And then when she laughed as he tickled her it sounded like music. The perfect tones. Something that he could listen to for the rest of his life. He had just met her, but he knew he loved her with all of his heart and soul.
Quil laughed as Claire attempted to tickle his neck, laughing more at the thought of it than because it actually sparked the reaction in him. He then reached over and brushed the booger off of his neck. "Ewww, boogah!" he said saying the word in the same way she had.
He then listened to Claire call him silly to her mother and for the first time looked over at the two women seeing the concern in their eyes. His smile fell slightly wondering if he had done something. She didn't seem to be hurt, Claire was laughing, that had to mean she was alright. And he hadn't phased or mentioned wolves so he hadn't let out his secret. Then the realization hit him as he looked into Emily's eyes. The reason why he felt such a strong love towards Claire. He had imprinted on her.

Claire couldn't believe that she'd did it! She tickled him and he laughed just like her. She couldn't think anyone else other than her mama who laughed with her like this. Quil was so much fun! She laughed even harder when he found a booger too. But where was it? It didn't matter, because he was still laughing with her all the way up here in his warm arms. They held her just right like when her mama knew when she needed to nap or the time she gave her a doll.
Claire was still looking at Quil when he looked away from her. Suddenly his face changed. He was still smiling with her, so that was ok, but it wasn't like before, and he wasn't looking at her anymore. Mama and Aunt Emily were looking at Quil weird and she didn't like it. "Qwil." she stated, as a first attempt to regain his attention. Claire's mama still looked confused and Emily looked like she was trying to figure out to say, glancing at her sister.

The look in Emily's eyes coupled with the realization of what had just happened made Quil start to feel like he was freak. Emily had experienced this before herself and she was obviously less than pleased about it happening to her niece. He wondered if she was concerned about Claire getting hurt like she did (something Quil was already determined never to let happen) or if she just thought he was sick for having imprinted on a toddler. He wondered that for a brief second himself before hearing Claire's voice.
When he looked back at Claire, his worries, fears and concerns went away. He could deal with them later. Right now he would focus on Claire. He smiled back at her. The way he felt when he looked at her, that couldn't be wrong. It felt like the most natural thing in the world. "Yes Clairebear?" He said with a grin.

There, she fixed it! He was looking at her and he was smiling again. Her grin broke open again and she reached over to pat his hair repeatedly. It looked funny but it was shiny and soft just like hers. They had so much in common! Maybe he could stay and play with mama like she always did. "Pwety hair," she crooned. She took a tucked in her little palm and pulled harder than necessary, but went back to patting it just after.
Emily had approached her sister and gave her the cliff notes version of the Quileute Legends. How the wolves protected La Push and even extended their charge to the Makah Reservation as well. She explained the connection she had with her Sam, unable to keep the admiration from her tone and eyes, but turned serious again when she explained that Quil had just established the same connection with her neice.
