Chapter 1
Family
"Boys, come and get it!" I yelled out the front door. I heard a gentle rustling in the bushes in front of the house and soon a large russet wolf lopped into the front lawn, carrying the most precious cargo. Two young boys with black hair, and big, brown, sensitive, eyes. Our sons. They pushed and shoved each other playfully as they ran up the stairs. I gave them a severe look and the shoving stopped. "Sorry mom," Charlie said sincerely, looking down with embarrassment. Caleb, however, smiled and shoved him again.
More like his father everyday. Just then Jacob walked into the small kitchen. I smiled as he crossed the room and grabbed me by the tops of the arms. He kissed me passionately and I kissed him back without remorse.
"Ewwwww! Dad girls have cooties!" Caleb yelled at us,
"Well," Jacob said smiling. "maybe I like having cooties, its how we got you."
I smacked his arm, "Jacob!"
"Well its true!" he similed happily at me. He grabbed the lasagna.
I smiled and warned warned, "Save some for the rest of the family." Family, such a peaceful word. And a family was exactly what we were. Sam and Emily now had a little one named Hita which meant lovable, and she was the cutest little thing. She looked like a little miniature Emily, except with Sam's gentle eyes. Claire, who had just turned 8 was now living with Quil, by his request of course, needless to say Quil was on edge these days; Jared and Kim were expecting a new little one. Tonight everyone was coming over to our little house.
A timer made me jump out of my trance. I walked into the small warm kitchen, I took the homemade bread-sticks out of the oven and brushed garlic butter over the top. A sudden outburst of laughter made me turn around, and saw the boys on the ground.
"Boys no wrestling in the house," a normal reprimand I'd gotten used to.
Charlie nodded and quietly got up from the table and headed for the door. Caleb followed suit, in a not so quiet manner. He smiled ruefully at me and stomped outside in protest. I felt big strong hands on my waist. I turned around to face Jacob.
"We make beautiful babies Bells."
"I make beautiful babies. You," I poked my finger in his chest playfully "make them feisty, and troublesome." I smiled up at him ruefully. He smirked at me, then he melted into the Jacob that I knew and loved. He leaned in and hesitated, his breathing hitched, I smiled at him tenderly and pulled his lips to mine. He kissed me gently, his lips soft on mine making the kiss sweeter. Just then there was a roar of laughter outside.
Jacob grinned, and I sighed. "Come on, lets go meet the goons."
Jacob's laugh filled the tiny room.
Everyone sat around the over-sized table. All the guys dug into the food as the girls watched. Paul and Quil fought over the last bread-stick, finally Quil won, and shoved the whole thing in his mouth, swallowing it in one bite.
"Geez Quil, you just wulfed the whole thing!" Claire squealed. Laughter thundered through the house. Sam howled with laughter, Jacob rolled on the floor unable to breath he was laughing so hard. Quil almost choked on a homemade chocolate chip cookie, and once recovered, smiled at me sheepishly. Quil hadn't told Claire about his wolfish self, after all she was only eight years old. The laughter died eventually. The guys were done eating and the ladies cleaned up after. Emily held a bottle to Hita's mouth. The little girls black hair and russet colored skin reminded me of Emily but her eyes, her eyes were completely Sam's. And how Sam did love her. He coddled and loved on her all night. Spinning her around the room, throwing her up in the air. The love in his eyes when he held his little girl almost made me want to cry. Jared never left Kim's side, his eyes sparkled when she hobbled over to where all the ladies were standing. She finally pushed him away lovingly
"Go be with your brothers." Jared shook his head. Emily and I smiled knowingly. Kim rolled her eyes.
"Go." she gave him a gentle push. He slowly walked over to where Sam and Jacob were talking in hushed tones. Official wolf business I assumed.
"So Kim," I leaned over the counter, "How is pregnancy treating you?"
"Shut up, just because you can bend from the waist." Emily and I laughed. She sighed contently placing her hand on top of her swollen stomach.
"You know that if you ever need anything, feel free to let us know." Emily said seriously.
"You girls are like the sisters I never had." Kim said sincerely, tears gathering at the corner of her eyes. "Damn hormones." she muttered as she whipped them away.
I noticed Paul in the corner of the room, sitting in our old leather chair, by himself. He was watching the kids play.
"Do you guys notice anything different about Paul?" I asked. Emily looked at Paul and smiled knowingly
"Yeah hes got it bad." Emily whispered
"Who? Paul? Oh yeah he does!" Kim replied she also had the knowing smile too. Was I missing something.
"What are you guys talking about? I don't see anything." I asked
"Bella thats the look they get when they first find their imprint! Oh I am so excited for him, I wonder who she is?" Emily smiled happily.
That was funny Jacob never looked at me like that.
"Hey Em, did Jacob ever look that way?" I asked questioningly.
Emily's expression changed, she frowned slightly,
"No I don't remember him ever having 'the look' now that you mention it."
I frowned "i wonder why that is." I whispered although I already knew the reason.
Jacob never imprinted on me.
"I'm sure that it is nothing to worry about, I mean he loves you right?" I nodded still distracted.
"And Sam told me that after two years the chances of him imprinting go down dramatically."
"But Paul has had five years and he still imprinted." I moaned, tears streaming down my face.
"Bella I didn't mean to upset you, I just...oh I am so sorry." she turned me around to face her.
"Its okay, I know you didn't mean it...i just...i can't lose another person I love." I wiped the tears from my eyes. Emily's eyes were sympathetic. I could not look at her, so I looked away.
I looked at my two boys, who were wrestling with their father (who was pretending to lose).
"Have you ever thought," I asked Emily "that we don't deserve this happiness?" Emily nodded, thinking quietly to herself.
"I think about it all the time, but the reward is worth the risk don't you think?"
I nodded turning my eyes away, everything was perfect, just as it should be. There was no reason to worry about it. But I was still uneasy. It was like the calm before the storm.
Paul was reading The Three Little Pigs to Charlie, when I noticed him nodding off.
"Time for bed." I said
"I agree." Emily smiled.
