Hello lovelies! I should be updating some of my other stories (Inception) but, I've recently switched teams from vampire to werewolf so, I'm extremely inspired at the moment! I love this pairing and couldn't get this story out of my head. As a heads up this is set after New Moon in the beginning of Eclipse before they find out about Victoria's army. Bella and Jacob's friendship is back to "normal". He's still trying to convince her that Edward is a douche-I realized that in time! LOL!- and that she should be with him. This is my first Twilight story so pretty please REVIEW.

Brownies

Bella's POV

I loved him more than anything, so why don't I want to marry him? Renee had always told me to wait, to live my life and let the right person come in later. I believed her but, in that back of my mind I always assumed that if the right person came along I wouldn't care what age I was, but here I am saying no every time he asks, making up some lame excuse. The thought of being tied down to him in my young age made my stomach churn. I love him... Right?

I sighed and killed the ignition to my ancient truck, the smell of peppermint and tobacco still clinging to the interior. It's become a comfort to me, a rare constant in my ever changing life. My eyes grazed the horizon and it struck me where I am, La Push, First Beach to be exact. I didn't have a particular place in mind when I told Charlie I was going for a drive, I was caught up in my head top make a conscience decision on where to go. Apparently, the beach beckoned. A shudder runs through me at the thought of what waited for me when I get home. Edward would be there for sure, with a lecture about how the wolves are reckless and dangerous, and how I'm forbidden to come here. But, right now it didn't matter, I was here and I feel light, lighter then I have in a really long time. I yanked my key from the ignition and slipped out of the cab slamming the door behind me.

A chill ran through me and I stuffed my hand further into the pockets of my jacket, ducking my head into my hood, slowly making my way to the spot I'm eying. It's not normally this cold in September, but the wind coming off the open water cuts, straight threw my thin parka. I looked around the beach once I found my spot. It was relatively empty, just a few people to my far right huddled around a fire making general conversation. It wasn't until a couple got up and made their way to the shore, that I realized I was staring.

A wave of jealousy ran through me as I watched them. They both looked so content just holding hands water washing over their feet, no one was dazzling the other. I wonder what it's like, to be in a relationship that you're not being controlled in. Sadness washed over me and settled in the pit of my stomach making itself at home. I ripped my eyes away from the couple and settled on looking at the waves. The way the sun was setting made it look like the water's on fire. I sighed content for the moment, not thinking seemed to be the way to go right now.

It could have been forever that I sat there watching, not thinking, or it could have been a second, I honestly don't know. A familiar voice, carefree and young tugged my from my trance.

"Bella!" My head whips around and I see Seth smiling from ear to ear, wearing the official uniform of the wolf pack; nothing but, a pair of shorts and flip flops.

"Seth!" I couldn't control my excitement. I jumped straight up and into his arms. It was good to see him.

"Well Bella, I didn't know you felt this way about me." I giggled and slapped his chest.

"What are you doing here?" I asked, as he put me back on the ground.

"I was going to ask you the same thing. I was actually on my way back to Emily's for dinner, you wanna come. She keeps saying how much she misses you." His smile made me feel safe, being on La Push ground made me feel safe. Edward would be angry beyond words but, right now that feels like it's to far off in the future to worry about now and I missed Emily terribly. What the hell! Why not.

"Sure, I'd love that!" If it was even possible Seth's smile got bigger, I smiled a true honest smile for the first time in a long time.

"Bella, do you mind driving I ran here."

"No problem." The drive was nice. Seth and I's conversation flowed easily until we pulled up to Emily's. I felt the knot that was constantly in my chest release and I could breathe easily. The orange and yellow marigolds reminded me of all the times I had watch her flutter around her home cleaning, cooking, gardening. I turned off the engine and had to force myself not to burst into the house and hug Emily to death. Seth got to the door first, turning the knob and pushing it open.

"Emily, I invited someone to dinner." Seth said nonchalantly taking the two steps it takes to get the the small round table and taking a seat.

"Seth, for as much as I love you, I may have to beat you. Do you see how much I have to cook?" She said without looking up from whatever she was mixing.

"I don't mind helping." I say, trying to hide my chuckle. I don't think I've ever seen Emily so flustered before. She spun around, and in a flash put the bowl and wooden spoon down, and flung her arms around me.

"Bella! How are you? If you ever stay away that long again I swear I'm driving up there and dragging you here." Her words came out so fast and almost couldn't catch them all.

"I've missed you." I said as I hugged her tighter. We pulled away and she went back and grabbed her wooden spoon.

"Seth get out, Bella and I need some girl time to catch up. Go check when the boys will be back." Emily said using her spoon as a weapon. Seth simply put up his arms in defense and jogged out the house throwing a goodbye to me over his shoulder.

"Tell me whats been up, Bella! It's been so long!" She was once again stirring what looked like something chocolate. Out of nowhere, tears were in my eyes and confusion buzzed around me.

"Oh, Emily I don't know what to do any more. I don't want to be changed and I don't even want to be married to Edward anymore. I used to be so sure of what I wanted and now all I want is to be here with all of you and he won't let me!" I flopped down into a chair and buried my head in my hands. It felt good to say these things out loud, get them off my chest. Emily was next to me in a second, cooking forgotten comforting me.

"Bella if this isn't what you want then, what's stopping you from breaking it off?" I shrugged. I let the gravity of her words sink in and my tears stop.

"I don't know really, I think it's because I'm afraid of how he'll react. I've noticed lately how controlling he is and I'm a little worried he'll hurt me." I shocked myself. I guess I didn't even realize I was scared it until it came out. Emily looked at me as if I was stupid.

"Bella, we all love you, just say the word and Edward won't get with in a hundred miles of you."

"Oh no, Emily! I could never ask them to do that for me. I know they can protect me but, I don't want any of them getting hurt doing it. Edward may go ballistic. It's something I'll have to bare myself." Panic runs through me at the though of them putting their lives on the line, all because of me.

"Well, if your going to be so stubborn about it, I'll just mention it to Sam and you won't leave La Push without someone by your side 24/7. Or, you could just ask him yourself." She gave me an innocent smile and sashayed to the kitchen picking up where she left off. I gave into my inner child and crossed my arms muttering something under my breath about playing dirty. I sighed and gave in, there's really no point in arguing with Emily when she's set on something. So, I took of my parks and shoes leaving them with the other ones, and rolled up my sleeves.

"Okay, what can I do to help?"

"Yay! I missed you in the kitchen. Could you start on the next batch of brownie? The recipe is on the counter."

"Yeah sure." I got out another bowl and spoon following the recipe. Emily filled me in on what I've missed, apparently Brady and Collin have phased, its sad that they're so young. After about an hour of gossiping, we heard laughs and hollers in the yard and we knew the boys were back. It felt nice to call them 'the boys.' I've always wanted a big family and here I have a giant wolf family. What more could a girl ask for?

Before, they came in I quickly took a seat at the table, not wanting to be in the way when Sam comes in. He get a little focused on one thing when it comes to her. Learned that the hard way. I sit quietly and beamed at the people, that I've missed so much file into the room. Sam took 3 long strides and wrapped his arms loving around Emily, placing a long lingering kiss on her lips before peppering her face with little kisses.

"Bella!" I heard a chorus of voices say before I was pulled out of my seat by Quil and hugged tightly.

"Hey Quil." I manage to say before I'm passed around the group receiving more hugs than I have my entire life. I'm finally put down and slowly the room stops spinning. I spot Jacob leaning on the door causally, releasing the full force for his smile on me. Even if I don't love Jacob like he wants me to, he still fills me with warmth and happiness. I walk over to him and wrap my arms around him.

"How ya doing Bells?" He whispered into my hair.

"Good, great really." I answered honestly. I hadn't seen him in so long I didn't want to let go but the timer for the brownie went off, and I quickly pulled away not wanting them to burn. I grabbed a oven mitten and opened the door, the smell of chocolate overwhelming my senses making my mouth water. I pulled them out and replace then cooled brownies with the warms ones on the rack. I placed the brownies on a plate and armed myself with a wooden spoon before throwing myself to the wolves. Literally! It was really a funny sight seeing 7 over grown boys crowd around a table that seats 4 over a plate of brownies.

"One at a time, before you trample me." I say, glancing at each one of them smiling, all expect for Paul. I had a sudden urge to make him happy, to see what it was like to make him smile. I looked deep into his eyes and the strangest sensation took over me.

Gravity shifted under my feet pulling me toward him. I couldn't fight gravity, I always fell when I tried, so I moved closer. Paul noticed and he smiled at me eyes shining like a bind man seeing light. His chocolate eyes engulfed me welcoming me in, in a way I'm sure no ones ever experienced. I slowly looked over his features. Eyes like nothing else, straight nose, cute full cheeks, perfectly shaped lips. His lips are truly sinful, they made me want to know how they felt against mine. I licked my lips trying to regain some moister, I've lost looking at him. I say lust flash in his eyes a tingle when all way down my spine and into my lower belly. I realized just him looking at me made me think naughty thoughts and I can feel my face turn 10 shades redder. Sadly, I became aware that the two of us aren't alone and my blush grew even deeper.

It wasn't until a glass on the table started shaking around violently, that I notices Jacob shaking.

"How could you! I love her and you go and fucking imprint on her!"

Cliff hanger!Sorry to do that but need to get you to review somehow! I will explain how Paul imprint after seeing her more then once in the next chapter! Sorry if it's a little long, but I haven't been this inspired in a long time! Please review! P.S. Sorry about the little mix up in the wording at the end. I finished this at like 2 in the morning and was drunk on lack of sleep. Jacob does not love Paul!
