Chapter 1
"For all those times you stood by me,
for all the truth that you made me see,
For all the joy you brought to my life,
For all the wrong that you made right,
For every dream you made come true,
For all the love I found in you, I'll be forever thankful baby,
You're the one who held me up. Never let me fall. You're the one who saw me through it all…
You were my strength when I was weak, You were my voice when I couldn't speak. You were my eyes when I couldn't see. You saw the best there was in me. Lifted me up when I couldn't reach, you gave me faith 'coz you believed…I'm everything I am because you loved me.
You gave me wings and made me fly,
You touched my hand I could touch the sky,
I lost my faith, you gave it back to me. You said no star was out of reach. You stood by me and I stood tall. I had your love, I had it all. I'm grateful for each day you gave me. Maybe I don't know that much but I know this much is true…I was blessed because I was loved by you,
You were my strength when I was weak…You were my voice when I couldn't speak," I sang "Because you loved me" by Celine Dion but stopped when strong arms hugged me from behind. I giggled as he kissed my cheek.
"You sing so beautifully," His lips searched for my collarbone, found it, and kissed it dearly.
"Aww, thanks Jakie," I reached up and ran my fingers through his cropped hair. We've been married for two years, it's hard to believe this will be the third. My ring glowed when light shined on it through the curtains I bought last year as they blew through the wind. "Okay big guy. Shouldn't you be at work?"
"Well…not today," He let go of me. "I got a few days off and I was thinking…you could go with me somewhere." Jacob took out something out of his jeans pocket. It was a thin piece of paper, a brochure no doubt. It was a bit crumbled due to hiding and hitching a ride in his pocket, poor brochure; it obviously didn't know that werewolves weren't so kind to paper they leave in their shorts. He unfolded it, or tried to, and handed it to me.
I unfolded it some more and laid it on the table to flat it out with a pencil case I had lying around from my days in school. I looked at it closely. It was a resort, Pointe Hilton Squawk Peak resort in Phoenix. My jaw dropped.
"You've got to be kidding me."
"Nope," Jacob raised his hands in the air. "It's for our anniversary next week."
"But…you didn't have to….," I couldn't say anything else. I can't believe he did this. Can he, I mean, we, afford this?
"I know but I really wanted to, baby," He gave me the puppy dog face. He always does that. Damn it! He knows I can't resist when he gives me that face!
"Can…can we even afford this Jake?"
Jake smiled and dropped a wad of cash on the table. "Of course." He had a plan. Darn it! He really wants to go, doesn't he? I do too but we shouldn't be wasting our money like this.
"Jakie…," I frowned. "I don't want to spend so much money."
"Please Bella, just this once. Come on. We aren't going to go bankrupt," He ran over to my side, took my hands in his and kissed my fingers. "Please?"
"Alright Jake," I gave in. Jake wrapped his arms around me in an embrace. I didn't hug back. "On one condition though." He let go of me immediately.
"Okay, what's the condition?" "Don't try to hide my birth control pills this time," I teased. Jacob laughed with me.
"Hey it wasn't my fault," Jacob grinned. "I want kids."
"I know but you promised after college!"
"Yea but now that college is over…," Jake's hands went up my shirt.
"Jacob!"
"Yes, Mrs. Black?" He asked innocently as if he had done nothing with his warm hand still up my shirt.
I took his hand from under my shirt effortlessly. "Not right now."
His laughter boomed through out the kitchen. "Fine." Jake headed for the door. "I have to run anyway. Sam wants me to go on patrol. I'll be back in a few, okay?"
"Alright. I guess I'll start packing then. When do we leave?"
"This Saturday." Jacob gave me a quick kiss good-bye and then ran out the door. Bye. I was alone now, in this big empty house. Sometimes I wish I was a werewolf so where ever Jake went, I'd go. Then I'd never have to miss him and he wouldn't have to protect me so much. He's always risking his life protecting the likes of me…I sigh. I better get packing.
Not my best but what do you think so far? Please review! :D
