~Getting To Know Each Other~ (Part One)

~Rose~

While waiting for Sarah to get my discharge papers and the files for Jackson, Emmy rushes into the room with a bag in her hand and a smile on her face. "Oh my goddess Rose! I have so much to tell you and to ask but we can save that for later. I have you some clothes and me and Nathan packed all your stuff and some is at the guest house and the rest has already been sent to Blood Moon." she says in a rush. She then sets the bag on the bed then turns to Jackson and says "I am Emmy. Rose's best friend." She then holds out her hand to shake hands with him. Jackson shakes her hand and laughs a little and says "I am Jackson. Alpha of Blood Moon and Rose is my mate." "I know. Nathan told me. I am his mate." she says with such pride. "That is great" Jackson and I say together then look at one another and laugh.

"That is so wonderful Emmy that means you will get to go to Blood Moon with me." I said. She shakes her head yes then says. "Sarah and Nicole will be going as well." "What? Why?" I asked. "Because Sarah is R.J.'s mate and Nicole is George's" she says. "Oh that is wonderful I am so glad I will have you all with me and won't have to miss anyone." I said. I was so happy that my friends had found their mates as well and were going to the same pack as I was. "Lets get you cleaned up and ready to go." She said as she picked the bag back up. I slowly got off the bed and we headed to the bathroom so I could take a shower and change my clothes.

As I hear the shower turn on I mindlink Nathan and get caught up on everything going on. "Any news on when the council will arrive." I asked. "Three days and the warriors you wanted me to send for are here. I have four guarding Maxwell and the other two are getting settled in." he replied. "That is good news. Congratulations on finding your mate and thank you for helping pack her things." I told him. "No problem. All the girls' stuff is packed. Anything they don't need was sent to Blood Moon and we have moved them into the guest house." Nathan said. I linked George to congratulate him on finding his mate as well as R.J. and to let him know just as soon as Sarah brings the discharge papers we would be ready to go. I couldn't wait to break my girl out of here.

As I hear the shower shut off and then talking and laughing Sarah walks into the room. She hands me the files and Roses discharge papers and a bottle of medicine and says "Here you go. Rose is all set. Just make for sure she rests and doesn't do too much and here is something for pain just in case she needs it although I don't think she will." "Thanks and welcome to the pack." I say. She smiles and says "Thank you." and then she heads out the door. Emmy and Rose come out of the bathroom laughing with smiles on their faces. I am so glad she is happy and I love to see her smile. "Ready to break out of here sweetheart?" I ask her. She smiles and blushes and says so sweetly "Yes I am ready to go." She looks so adorable when she blushes I can never get enough.

~Rose~

We head out of the room and down the hall to the elevator. We then take the elevator to the ground floor and then step out and walk out of the hospital to the waiting SUV. Once we get to the SUV he opens the backdoor for me and I get in. Emmy then proceeds to get in on the other side and that causes him to frown just a little. I think he was hoping to sit in the back with me but Emmy beat him to it. He looks so cute I could just kiss him. This thought makes me blush and he catches it as he starts to close the door and smiles and winks which makes it worse. Once we are all settled we head to the guest house.

When we arrive at the guest house he gets out and opens my door and offers me his hand. I take it and when I do a spark shoots up my arm. I will never get tired of that feeling and I wonder if he feels the same way. After I exit the vehicle he places his hand on the small of my back and we walk towards the front door of the guest house. After we enter Emmy moves over to a man standing in the living room and hugs him and gives him a kiss on the cheek. "Nathan this is my friend Rose and Rose this is my mate and Jackson's Beta Nathan." she tells me. I extend out my hand to shake his "It is so nice to meet you Nathan." "The pleasure is all mine Luna." he says. "Please just call me Rose." I tell him. "Yes ma'am unless it is required." he replies. I like him already and I am so happy for my best friend and glad she will be going with me.

~Jackson~

"Alright ladies I had Nathan pick up some food for us and figured we could go into the dining room and eat and get to know one another and then after dinner I would like some one on one time with my mate." I tell the girls because Nathan already knows my plan. We walk into the dining room and I pull out her chair and she sweetly says "Thank you" as she sits down. "You're welcome" I reply. I ask her which pieces of chicken she would like and she tells me legs. So I take a plate and place two chicken legs, mashed potatoes, gravy, corn and a biscuit. I then place it in front of her. Once we finish making our plates Nathan gets everyone a soda and we all dig in.

After we have ate most of our food we start to talk and get to know each other. I find out that Emmy and Rose met in Kindergarten and have been friends ever since. " We use to play at the lake when we were younger and have picnics with our moms." Emmy said. "Yeah once all four of us were swimming one day and decided to skinny dip and Rose and Sarah decided to get cheeky and stole me and Nicole's clothes." Rose laughs then says "Yes we did and you both got poison ivy on your butts" Nathan and I bust out laughing while the girls just blush and giggle.

"Well me and Nathan would play hide n seek and I would get some cookies from Dorris and then hide in the pantry in the kitchen and he would never find me so I always won." I told them. "Yeah I would look inside and outside and never find him of course it didn't help that Dorris would not tell me if she saw him or not." Nathan said. After we all finished eating Nathan and Emmy offered to do the dishes so Rose and I could have some alone time. Rose suggested the sunroom because it had some comfortable chairs and doors for privacy. So grabbing her hand and our drinks we headed off to the sunroom the whole way there Jace was wagging his tail like crazy with a big grin on his face.
