I do not own any of the characters that you're about to read and neither do you

I do not own any of the characters that you're about to read and neither do you.  They're all Stephenie Meyer's.

"Bella, honey! I'm gonna go run with the pack for a bit okay? Emily will come over for dinner later. I'll be home before 10:00, I promise." Jacob called from the bedroom we shared.

"That's fine. Love you!" I said and he gave me a quick kiss.

After Edward had left me with a wounded heart, Jacob and I have grown into a married couple and he has helped me mend that whole in my heart. I knew that I could never be as happy as I was when I was with Edward, but I had accepted the fact that Edward would never come back. I was as happy as I could be without him.

Since Emily was coming over, I decided to cook up something special. Lasagna sounded good tonight and I started on it. Emily was my best friend now, and it was easy talking to her, because she and I understood each other really well.

The doorbell rang and I called from the kitchen, "Come in Emily!"

"Hey Bella? What's for dinner?"

"Lasagna. That okay?"

"Yes, smells really good."

We talked for a while, waiting for the food to get ready. When the oven timer went off, I stood to get the lasagna out of the oven. Emily followed.

"So, did Jacob tell you?" She asked.

"Tell me what?" I didn't remember Jacob telling me anything special in particular.

"Sam told me the pack had caught a vampire trail yesterday. Fresh." My eyes widened. Why wouldn't Jacob tell me this?

"Do you know if it was a familiar smell?"

"I don't know. Sam didn't want to talk much about it. They're always trying to hide things from us, trying to protect us but I think they should tell us everything."

"I agree. I'll have to ask Jacob later." I didn't think much of it, I was sure the pack would have the situation under control. I was just upset that Jacob would hide this from me.

Emily and I ate on the couch and watched TV. Soon, Jacob came home and Sam arrived to take Emily home. As soon as they left, I sat down with Jacob.

"Why didn't you tell me you caught a vampire trail yesterday?" I immediately asked.

"Well that's a nice hello."

"Jake, I don't feel comfortable when you hide things from me."

"Bells, I'm not hiding things from you. You never asked."

"Jake…please."

"Fine. We did find a trail yesterday, but its nothing to be worried about. You'll be safe. The trail didn't lead anywhere close to humans."

"Okay. Well I'm tired. I think I'll go to bed. But next time, please tell me these things."

"Kay. 'Night Bells."

"Good night."

Its really short, I know. Its just a starter. The second chapter will be up shortly. Please review!
