As I lay next to her, I can't imagine how my luck has changed. I'm still wondering how I'm gonna tell her that I imprinted on her, but lied to her about it. Sam said I couldn't tell her, that she was supposed to be with those filthy bloodsuckers. Well at least now I know why. Hopefully soon I can tell her without her being mad. It feels so good to lay here with her in my arms. I close my eye's and fell asleep thinking about how I now need a bigger bed.
With the sunlight coming through the window I woke up trying not to wake up Bella. I stare at her, I can't believe how beautiful she is. I can't help but reach over and run my hand along her jawline. Her temperature is almost like mine but I think it is a couple degrees lower. So I guess she is running at about 104 now. I can't believe it. My Bella. A Werewolf. I feel her start to stir, and she looks up at me with a smile.
"Jake?" I look at her, "Yes, Bells?"
"I can't believe everything that has happened. It's too weird. Who would have thought that I would be a werewolf."
"Well Sam and I were talking, and we believe that somewhere in your bloodline, you have indian blood. So we are guessing that the X gene comes from that. It is very rare, Bella, We have only heard stories about you, no one believed them." I smiled at her while she sorted through what I just said.
She looked back up at me with a slight smile, and said,"Well no one should be surprised, we all knew I was a freak as a human figures I get screwed with being immortal too. Oh, No. What am I going to say to Edward? He must be heart broken." Then it happened. The breakdown I have been waiting for.
"Sshhh, Bella it's ok. I should be saying I'm sorry but I'm not. I just wish you can see how better this is for you."
"I know Jake, but it's gonna be hard for a while. It will be easier this time cause for one I know he still loves me, and two cause your here. You really know how to hold me together you know."
I know I was staring, and so was she, but I just couldn't help myself. It was like our bodies were moving on their own, leaning in for that kiss that we both wanted so bad. Then the bedroom door slammed open and there stood Sam, with grinning Embry and Quil right behind him.
"Ok, Lovebirds. Time to get up. Bella needs to train. Though she'll probably be better than all of us from what I've seen so far." and with that Sam was gone, leaving Embry and Quil smirking there.
I grabbed my shoe from the floor and waled it at them yelling "Out, Now some privacy please." By this time Bella was the color of a tomato from all the blushing. I laughed, "Come on Bells, Emily left another dress for you. It's in the bathroom. I'll have to see if Sam will go get some more of your things."

I got up still blushing about being caught by a bunch of overgrown boys. I was almost to the bathroom when I turned around and called for Jake. "Jake, can I come with you to get my things? I feel like I should explain to Edward."
"No Bella, You might lose control, and I know you don't want to hurt him."
"Come on, you'll be right there and so will Sam. You said yourself that I'm better at control that you are. Please?" I knew my pouty face would get him and he sighed and walked away grumbling something about women and conniving. I couldn't help but think he was cute. wait no I'm married. Stupid brain. Stupid werewolf things. Then it was like a light bulb went off. and the last thing I remember is saying "Imprinting" and feeling huge hands catch me before I hit the floor.
When I woke up I heard voices in the living room, I decided to not move so I could listen to what they have to say.
I heard Jake say,"She's been out for 2 hours, Sam. I hate to say it but maybe we should call Carlisle."
"No, she'll be fine. No reason to bring them down here unless it's necessary. You said she said something about imprinting before she lost consciousness?" I tensed in the bed straining to hear what was said. I couldn't hear Jake's reply but I heard Sam's "No, Jake, I don't think she figured that out, I do however think she imprinted on you. Which is very rare. I have never seen a case like this. I have to go and check out all the stories to see if this ever happened before."
"Sam she wants to go get her things, I think she needs some closure. I hate to say it but I think it would be good for her to say goodbye to those... those... Cullens. She cares too much about other people. She needs to see everyone is ok, before she moves on. So I guess I was wondering if you could accompany us up to their house to get their things. I know I can control her if things get out of hand, but I don't know if I can control myself, if something happened to her."
"Yeah your right. Well let her wake up and get cleaned and get some food in both of you, and I'll make a phone call to them and set up a meeting somewhere."
I heard the door shut so I pretended to be asleep. I heard the bedroom door open,"Bells, how much did you hear?"
I could feel the blood rush to my cheeks, I was started to wish I was a vampire so I couldn't blush anymore, "Not much, just mostly Sam, and you asking if I could go get my things. Thank you Jake, it really does mean alot to me."
"I see you still try to change the subject, why didn't you tell me, Bells?" And of course when I thought I couldn't get any redder I did, so I did the only thing I could thing of, I hid under the covers.
I heard his laugh, and I felt his weight shift on the bed, so I pulled the blanket down a little and jumped when I realized that his face was only about 2 inches from my. My heart started to beat erratically as I looked into his eye's. Then we were kissing, his hand was behind my neck, the heat of his mouth on mine, and I heard a small moan and realized it came from me. He chuckled, and got up and held out his hand for me, "Come on you have to get cleaned up, and eat, then maybe call Charlie to let him know your ok."
After I got out of the shower, I smelled the food, and my stomach growled. I heard Jake yell "I heard that, I told you, you were hungry." I just laughed and walked out to the kitchen and sat at the table.
"I guess I'm stuck with dresses huh? I guess it would be kinda hard to carry both pants and shirts and everything on my leg."
"Yeah eventually you get enough control, to where you won't have to worry."
"Thanks for the food Jake, you know I could have cooked, I don't mind."
"It's ok, you can get breakfast tomorrow."
"Yeah, I guess I'll call Charlie now, and let him know I'm ok." I got up and rinsed my plate, I turned around and brushed up against Jake trying to get to the phone and we both froze, staring at each other. I swear you could hear the electricity between us crackle. We heard a cough come from the living room and both spun around to see a grinning Sam leaning against the door. I blushed 4 shades of red and ran for the phone to call Charlie.
"Hello?"
"Hi dad"
"Bella, what the hell is going on? I get a phone call a week after you get married to let me know your staying at Billy's. What happened."
"I don't know dad, really I don't know. I guess you can say I went to sleep and woke up and realized that it was a mistake."
"Bella, I know you don't mean that, I mean, I might not like Edward that much but I can see how much he loves you."
"I know dad, but you know what everything happens for a reason, I guess there are just somethings that are beyond out control. Well anyways, there is something good that came from all this."
"Good, what can be good?"
"Well you can start taking down all those flyer's, for one, cause Jakes back."
"Wow, is he psychic or something? I mean you leave your husband and he comes back" I couldn't help but smile, I seen Jake and Sam trying to hold back thier laughter.
"Yeah dad, something like that, but no, he came back about 4 days after I got here. He figured he would wait till I was off on my honeymoon to come back. But anyways, I'll call later or something ok, maybe you can come down tomorrow for dinner."
"Ok bye Bells"
"Bye dad"
I sighed, wishing I could just close my eye's and fix everything. I felt Jake's arms wrap around me and I rested my head on his chest. He kissed my hair and said, "You know, you don't have to do this, you don't have to prove anything, you can just stay here and Sam and I will go."
I looked up at him and kissed his lips, "No Jake. This is something I have to do. It is only right. They are my family too, no matter how different we are now. They love me and I love them. I owe it to them to at least try to explain. Please don't worry, I'll be fine. I know I'll never be able to feel like I did toward them now like I did before, but Alice is one of my best friends and I need to do this"
He put his hand under my chin and lifted it gently to look in my eye's, "I do understand Bells, your too good a person not to do this, or to have this affect you in anyway."
"Well I hate to break up this love fest, but we have to get going. We are meeting them in the clearing that we fought in with the army. We all consider it neutral ground. Here Bella, this is a very stretchy string to hold your cloths to your leg, We are taking my truck for your things but we are going through the woods so you'll need this."
"ok" I tyed the string to my leg and looked up at Jake, "Well let's go do this and get it over with. I really want to know how fast I can run."
And with that we were off.
