Chapter 15 I hate funerals

"Really?! Do you think his fur was as soft as Jared's?" Ava asks.

"I bet he was." I answer as Emily was fed a bottle that I made last night.

"Are we ready to go?" Jeremy asks.

"Yeah. The pack is meeting us there." Emmett answered.

Nodding my head, we gathered out stuff and the diaper bags then went to the Jeep. Emmett and Rosalie give Emily to Jeremy before flashing away. I put Ava in her car seat as Jeremy put Emily's carrier next to her.

When we arrived at the cemetery, we were greeted by Sue and Uncle Billy.

"Sue, I am so sorry. Harry didn't deserve to leave so soon." I said as Ava and I hugged her.

"It's okay, sweetie. He died doing what he loved. Hunting and protecting his home. The pack is already inside, but their mostly watching over Seth and Leah. Their still trying to get used to all of this." Sue replied.

Nodding, I picked Ava up then walked inside. I saw the boys watching over a sad Seth and an angry Leah.

"How many times do I have to fucking tell you? I don't need a damn babysitter, I need to mourn my father." Leah said gritting her teeth before shoving Paul and Embry away.

"Hey!" I shouted, gaining their attention. "Now is not the time for wolf masculinity bullshit. This is the time of mourning." They felt guilty and shut up. "Now, gets your acts together and shut your mouths. This is a fucking funeral for God's sake!" I whisper the last of my speech before I walked back to my child.

But when I got back, I was in awe as Seth was making Ava smile and laugh. I walked over and startled them.

"Having fun baby girl?" I ask.

"Yeah. Seth is funny." Ava answers with a giggle.

"I bet he is. Are you hungry?" I ask. She nods her head before reaching out for me. I chuckle as I take her from Seth. I thought I saw him pout, but I shrugged it off as I made my kids my top priority.

After Ava and Emily were fed, I sat next to Jeremy as they started the service. Once the preacher was done with his speech, I rocked Emily to sleep not wanting her to be bored. Then, as the service ended, they lowered Harry's casket was lowered into the ground.

Just as I was putting Emily in the car, Jeremy and Sam walk up to me with sorrowful expressions.

"Hey, I have the meat ready to be cooked. All we need to do is throw it on the grill when we get home." I said to them softly so my kids stay asleep.

"Okay. But Kiara, there's something we need to tell you." Sam replied.

"What?" I ask.

"Come on. We'll talk when we get home." Jeremy answers, avoiding the subject.

I shrug my shoulders before getting in the car and let Jeremy drive. When we got home, I grabbed Emily and walked Ava inside before putting them down for the rest of their naps. When I got Ava stripped, I had her climb into bed and sleep for the next few minutes. As I got back down to the living room, I see Sam looking sorrowful while Jeremy was holding back his anger.

"Okay. Someone want to tell me what's going on. Cause I just had an interesting conversation with Ava before she fell asleep." I said with my arms crossed.

"And what conversation is that?" Jeremy asks, fiddling with his fingers.

"Oh, just a nice conversation at how my little, not even one year old child, thought that Seth was adorable and cute. She also wanted to know if Seth was coming over for the BBQ." I said gritting through my teeth. Jeremy and Sam lowered their heads knowing I was right.
