Quil couldn't stop smiling as Claire played with his hair. He started to wonder how Claire would like petting his wolf fur. Kids liked animals, maybe she'd think he was just a big dog or something. He would have let her play with his hair forever. "You have pretty hair too" He told her, gently running his hand over her smooth hair. He then laughed as she pulled his hair, it didn't hurt at all to have her do that.
He could hear Emily and her sister in the background talking about him and the imprinting that had just occurred. He knew it wouldn't be long before the whole pack knew what he did. He wondered if Emily's sister was going to kick him out of the house, forbid him from seeing Claire. He couldn't bear the thought so decided to give them some space as they talked. He smiled at Claire again. "Do you wanna go play?"

Quil liked it when he pulled his hair. To test her theory, Claire gave his hair another hefty tug. Did he like it? Cool! Most people told her not to do it 'cause it hurt them. Maybe Quil was special. Wait a minute, of course he was! She leaned in when Quil took a strand of her own hair, stooping her head down so he cold play with it more. She liked it when mama brushed it and now it was soft. Claire's warm brown eyes grew wide when Quil asked her if she wanted to play. Was he kidding! That was the whole point! "Pway, yea!" she called out to him, clapping her hands in glee.
Clarie's mother had started to go after her daughter in worry when Quil offered to play a game with her daughter. But Emily held her back, telling her that she needed to hear the rest. She knew Claire couldn't be in safer hands at the moment. She took her sister to the kitchen, trying to figure out how to explain everything to her, and left Quil alone with Claire. Claire would have normally reacted to her mama disappearing, but she was gonna play a game with Quil!

Quil laughed as she pulled his hair again, she sure was feisty! He thought it was probably a good thing that his hair wasn't too long or she'd have even more to hang onto. He saw that she liked having her hair played with as well but wasn't about to pull her hair. He just continued gently stroking the top of it, feeling the silkiness of it. There was a definite texture to a child's hair that was different than adults.
Quil brought Claire over by the couches as Emily and her sister went into the kitchen. He sat down with Claire on his lap. "So what do you want to play? We'll do whatever you want today" He told her eagerly.

Hearing Quil laugh made Claire laugh just as much. She wanted to always laugh with him. His hand was also really nice when he played with her hair. Suddenly they were moving and she felt them descent onto the couch. Usually her mama would make her sit by herself, but Quil let her stay in his arms.
Did she want to play? Of course she did! Who wouldn't want to play with Quil who was so tall and warm and funny. She thought about what she wanted to play, her eyes looking into Quil's hands as if the answer were there. And it was! "Hands!" she explaimed, clapping her hands together and then slapping his open palms.

Quil heard Claire continue to laugh and was astounded by what a happy child she was. He had always thought most children cried a lot, but she seemed so full of joy. He wished he had met her sooner, to have been able to see what she was like when she was first born. He wanted to spend every moment with her. She seemed happy enough too when he sat down with her.
He watched her as she appeared to think over what she wanted to play. "Hands?" he questioned, wondering what kind of game that was. He wished he knew so that he didn't feel so foolish, not knowing how to play with a toddler. He watched her slap his palms. Hmm, is that what we do? He held out his palms again for her in case she wanted to slap them again.

Yes! Quil was so good at this game. Better than Aunt Emily. Claire clapped her hands two more time before slapping her hands against Quil's, chanting, "Hands! Hands! Hands," with each repitition. After about a dozen times, Claire held her hands out like Quil was because it was his turn. "You Qwil, hands," she instructed.
She wondered where mama was, but Qwil was so good at this game that it was ok if she was somewhere else. She tried to think of other games for her and Quil. Or maybe he would teach her new ones like mama did when they played all day. She liked the one with the hands hiding the eyes, maybe they would play that next. It didn't matter because Quil would be good at all of them and she was so sure they would all be fun as long as Quil was playing.

Quil watched enthralled as she played her hands game. He watched attentively, trying to figure it out, and what she wanted from him. He didn't want to disappoint her by not knowing what he was supposed to do. She seemed to be enjoying it greatly. When she told him it was his turn, he felt a bit nervous.
He slapped her hands (being careful to do it lightly so he wouldn't hurt her) and then clapped his hands twice as she had done. He also chanted "Hands! Hands! Hands!" As she had done, though he didn't know if that was a part of the game. After he had done it a few times, he then lightly slapped the bottom of her bare feet and then clapped "Feet!" He said and laughed, hoping she wouldn't be upset with him for changing her game. He desperately wanted to please her.

Claire laughed heartily as Quil figured out the game like the way she wanted to play. He was so smart! Sometimes mommy didn't quite get it right, but Quil did the Hands Game got it right away! Watching him laugh with her was making her so giggly. He had a pretty smile and his hands were soft when he played with her.
Claire looked at her feet when Quil slapped them, and looked back at Quil as her eyes widened. She was suddenly in awe and clapped her hands several times. WOAH! That is like the best idea ever! "Feet!" she exclaimed, wanting to slap his feet too. She stayed in his lap, but gripped the front of his shirt so she could lean towards the floor where Quil's feet were. She was practically hanging upside down, clinging with one hand when she saw his feet. They were soooo big! "Feeeeeeet," she complained, still at least a foot away from reaching his foot.

As Quil watched Claire laughed he smiled again, glad that he had figured out the game the way she wanted him too. He then watched as her eyes got wide when he slapped her feet. Uh oh, maybe I should have stuck with hands. He thought at first, but then saw her clap her hands and yell feet as though she was happy with his idea! He had made her happy!
He watched as she gripped onto his shirt and started to lean down. He held onto her by the waist so that if she lost her grip she wouldn't fall down head first to the floor. He then heard her complaint as she obviously couldn't reach his feet. He pulled her upright and then brought his legs up to where he was sitting so he was now sitting crosslegged on the couch so that his feet were more within reach for her. "Better?" He asked.

While the voices in the next room became a little bit more nervous and slowly increasing in volume, Claire was about to protest when Quil had straightened her out from her attempts to reach his feet. But her smiled immediately returned when he pulled up his feet instead so that they were within her reach. She climbed off his lap and adjusted herself so that she was also seated on the couch facing him, her legs crossed as well. Continuing their game, she leaned in and slapped his BIG feet a few times, gawking at their size, again chanting, "Feet, feet, feet," She clapped her hands only a few more times before extending out the same pudgy finger that had explored his nose and poked him on his stomach, "Tummy!"

Quil couldn't help but look towards the kitchen as he heard Emily and her sister's voices getting louder and more concerned. He knew that neither of them was happy about what he did. He was praying that they wouldn't make him leave Claire. He didn't want to even think about having to go anywhere.
He then looked back towards Claire as she crawled off his lap and sat facing him on the couch as she proceeded to play 'Feet!" He was glad to see her so happy, despite the worries of her mother in the other room. He hoped she didn't sense that anything was wrong. He laughed as Claire poked his stomach. He reached forward and poked Claire's stomach in turn. "Tummy!"
Quil then brought his hands up in front of his face, covering them. He then lowered them with a big grin on his face. "Peek-a-boo!"

Quil surprised Claire when he skipped the clapping part (which was supposed to come next) and went straight her her tummy! Her simple shock was immediately overwhelmed by his yummy laugh, prompting her own tingling laugh. Claire briefly wondered why she'd never played with Quil before, he was much more fun than everyone else.
Before Claire could process it, Quil changed the game on her. She smiled in awe for a second before she realized what the game was. For a second, her head tilted when he covered his face, waiting for him to reveal himself. She beamed brightly when he uncovered his face again, looking at her again. Claire thought he had pretty eyes that smiled just like his mouth. "Me, me Peeky Boo, Qwil!" She reached over and took each of his thumbs into her hands and pulled towards her face. "Me!"

Quil saw that Claire was surprised as he changed the game, but she seemed to approve as she started laughing again. He knew right then that he would never grow tired of hearing that laugh and knowing he was responsible for it. It made him feel validated in life. Protecting La Push may be his job, but making Claire happy would always come above anything else and offer him a much greater reward.
He felt her small hands encircle his thumbs as the pulled them towards herself. To him her hands felt a little cold, and he couldn't help but worry that she wasn't dressed warm enough, but knew that she would always feel a little cooler to him, that if she didn't then that would mean she was sick. He let her pull his hands over to her face and then he covered her eyes. "Where's Claire?" He asked and then moved his hands so he could see her face, smiling back at her. "There she is!"

Claire closed her eyes as Quil's big warm hands covered over half of her tiny face. Where was Claire? She's right here! Quil is so silly. She smiled birghtly when he took his hands away, so he could see his face again. The only other person that smiled like that to her was mama.
As if hearing Claire's sudden recollection of the existance of her mother, her voice was starting to become more and more agitated as Emily tried to convince her that this wasn't a joke and that the world of vampires and werewolves was one that they were now all involved in. Emily's voice, though slightly shaken, was trying to explain the nature of the imprint in a calm and serene voice she associated with her and Sam. There was an abrupt noise from the chair scraping the group and a low, but fierce voice that only said, "No!"
As if finally realizing that someone other than Quil existed, Claire looked out from underneath Quil's hands and towards the door to the other room. "Mama?" she asked curiously, though not upset. She was with Quil so there could certainly be nothing wrong.

Quil could see how happy their little game of peekaboo was making Claire. He tried to focus on her happiness but was being increasingly drawn into the conversation in the kitchen. He wondered if it was getting louder or if it was just his hearing that made it seem that way. He hoped Claire didn't know that there was something wrong. He also hoped that Emily could calm down her sister before. He flinched as he heard the sharp No! and the scraping of the chair on the ground.
Quil looked over to Claire, worried that she had figured something out. She seemed aware of something going on, but hadn't seemed to notice just how bad of a something it was. Quil put on a smile for her. "Mama just needs to talk to Aunt Emily a little longer. "
