Dear Diary:                                                    October 23, 2014

            Ever since Sava was born, it's been like a comedy show around here. The Denali's left but not before Sava started to form words. Well more like he gave everyone names. He knew people's real names but because he had problems pronouncing the letters "L" and "R", he improvised. He's only 3.5 weeks old and he can already say a lot of things. Even though I'm the only technically blood uncle to him being Leah's brother; everyone else became uncles and aunts too. Well except Nessie and Jacob, they became cousins. But the names he gave everyone for the most part were and are hilarious. It'll be sad when he can fully pronounce everything in a week or so. When Carlisle last wrote in here he spoke about Sava's ability to make the connection of the wolves in the house and everyone else's as well after the project Rogue gave him. It was pretty neat. He's one smart kid.

            Before I continue, I just wanted to say how absolutely cool it is for Carlisle to let me write an entry in his diary. I'm writing this currently on a piece of notepad so Carlisle can then staple or rewrite into this actual diary. The doc is a one of a kind gentleman. Thanks again Carlisle! =)

        Anyways, Sava's first order of business was to name those of us closest to him. As you already know, Leah is mama, Keith is papa, and my mom Sue is nanna. That leaves a chock full of people without names or nicknames. I got away fairly easily with him calling me "uncow Seth", Jacob became "cousin Jay", and Nessie was the only one with a full name without issues other than maybe Amy and Tanya. Just before the Denali's left, Sava looked at each of them, pointed and started giving them names:

"You uncow Ezee, you uncow Gahwet, and you uncow Mahcus." As the men nodded and smiled especially Eleazar who laughed and said:

"Oh great....now I'm easy. That's a first." Everyone laughed with him.

        The best was yet to come. As Tanya, Carmen, and Kate nuzzled the adorable little boy, he squirmed out of their grasp because he had to give them their names too. He was like a prince in front of his royal subjects giving them orders. Everyone stood patiently as Sava looked at Tanya first and proceeded to name them.

"You aunt Tanya, you aunt Cawman, and you aunt Katie."

        Carmen wrinkled her nose a little as we all suppressed a giggle. It did sound a little like cow-man. We reassured her that in a week he should be speaking clearly and all of the nicknames would disappear. She brushed it off and snuggled with the little boy some more. He was definitely loving all of the attention he was getting. And we weren't through but the rest of the names would have to wait until the next day as we all said goodbye to the Denali clan and they left for home. It was getting late and it was time to put our little hybrid to bed.

        I saw Corin playing with him as he was passed around like a doll from one person to another. It reminded me a little bit of Nessie and how in the few weeks of her birth, she was hardly let out of someone's arms as everyone wanted to hold her. Now we had a much bigger family with all the Watchers plus my mom visiting. So Sava was getting double the attention. Nessie didn't mind that she wasn't the baby of the family anymore. She liked being the "big sister" or "big cousin" in this case. Now that Charlie was married to my mom there was definitely a relation connection which Sava so well drew out when Rogue gave him the connection project last time.

        As I watched my beautiful red-headed imprint play with the baby, my heart just sang. How did I end up with such a stunning woman? I know that I'm technically younger then both Leah and Jake but I don't feel like that anymore. Hell, I'm more mature then Jake most of the time. But it's like when you imprint, you grow emotionally and mentally so even if you are say 17 like me, you feel 25. I have been going to the gym with Jake in the main house and lifting weights. I don't want to feel scrawny even though I'm a wolf. I have complete faith in Corin and that she won't leave me for another Watcher or something but I just feel like a shrimp sometimes compared to the rest of these wolves.

        I thought about that as I went back to the house I share with Jake for the time being until we both get married, whenever that'll be. But on my way there, I saw something strange; I saw Nessie and Jake making out like big time. I know Edward wouldn't approve so I cleared my throat but they didn't appear to hear me, it's as if they were in some kind of a trance. Hormones, I tell ya! Corin and I kiss and cuddle, sure but we're very mature about it. Well sometimes. Thankfully, I don't have vampires for parents watching my every move. I feel bad for them sometimes but I understand where Bella and Edward are coming from; Nessie is just a teenager and they are really old fashioned so the whole sex before marriage is a serious no go for them.

        As I walked back to my own home, I saw Corin standing by the door waiting for me. I walked up to her with a smile on my face we hugged and kissed. It wasn't that cold yet and so we sat on a log and just held each other until she started yawning. We had spoken about all of the silly things Sava had done and how cool it was having a baby around. For just a fraction of a moment, I wondered what it would be like when she and I got married, she could have children. It would be a hybrid just like Sava but sadly, the female Watchers' reproductive organs don't work once they achieve immortality. So perhaps we could adopt or something. But we'll cross that bridge when we get there.

        I walked her back to where she was living with Amy and Peter and gave her a long passionate kiss goodnight. I could feel the stirrings inside of me. I wanted this woman more than anything to be my wife and for us to be able to spend every waking moment together and not waking as well. I guess this is the hormones I was talking about when I saw Nessie and Jacob all over each other. But with imprints it's different; it's not just hormones, it's a connection older than time. Listen to me getting all philosophical. I fell asleep the moment my head hit the pillow and I dreamt of Corin running across a meadow in a wedding gown with her hair flying reaching toward me and smiling. What a fantastic dream!

        The next day, everyone including my mom gathered in the main house to measure Sava. Carlisle was doing his regular journal writing of every single nuance that changed within Sava in the last 24 hours. As Carlisle was finishing up his notes, Sava looked at him and said:

"Uncow doc." Carlisle looked up surprised as the rest of us smiled; looks like Carlisle received his name. Sava didn't stop there.

"Uncow doc woves aunt Esssme." Everyone looked at each other and smiled as Sava continued.

"Aunt Behwa woves uncow Eddy." Edward wasn't happy with the nickname so he frowned.

        Meanwhile, Emmett took the opportunity to tease Edward about his new name from Sava. Edward told him in no uncertain terms to shut up but Emmett being a giant child went on making a little song and everything about Edward being "cow Eddy". Rose just rolled her eyes as Alice muttered:

"Emmett quit being a doofus."

        And that's when Emmett got what he deserved. As Sava was silently watching the bickering go back and forth, he narrowed his eyes at Emmett and said:

"You awe uncow doofus!"

            Everyone burst into hysterics at that point except for Emmett who waved his arms back and forth trying to get Sava to pronounce Emmett since it had all the letters he could pronounce, to no avail. So until Sava felt like it, Emmett remained uncle doofus. Which became the nickname that pretty much everyone called him; including Rose who was laughing so hard she had tears in her eyes. Sava really knew how to get things done. After that, everyone else got their names slowly. The only other one who wasn't all too thrilled was Rogue. Sava decided to call her Queenie which was better then Wug or Wogue. Here's Sava's interpretation of everyone's names so you don't confused:

Queenie and Awex

Amy and Peet

Cohwin and Seth

Awice and Shaspoh

Wose and uncow doofus

Kim and Micheew

Jay and Nessie

Behwa and Eddy

Doggy (Sparkles)

Doc and Essme

Mama, papa, and nanna

Tanya and Mahcus

Katie and Gahwet

Ezee and Cawman

        So now that everyone had names, we just had to get used to them. It was easier said than done for most especially Emmett but he got what he deserved. Watching everyone with Sava especially Corin, I had a lot of thoughts in my head that evening. My mom and I sat on the steps. She saw that I had a lot on my mind. And I wanted to talk to her about something. I had made up my mind and spoke to Rogue about it so all I really needed to do now is speak with my mom. I think it was the right time to do it.

"What is it Seth honey, you look like you have the weight of the world on your shoulders?"

"I guess you could say that I do."

"Well out with it; whatever it is, we can work it out together. I love you, Seth." We hugged then. I took a deep breath and asked:

"Mother, may I....."

To be continued.....

{Seth}
