Ello loves! hope you enjoyed chapter 5! Well...you're really going to love this one! ENJOY lovelies!

Part 1: Jacob Black

"Hey Jake, you got a second or two?" My dad asked me as he rolled himself in the living room.

"Yeah sure,"

"Well, I know you got the note right?" he asked.

I nodded.

"Well, Jake we haven't been able to talk about it since Renee came. Sue decided to move out a little early. She and Seth moved out last night around five o'clock. She wanted to hurry up and give you and Bella your own place and I'm all for it," He laughed.

I was happy that Sue decided to give up her house, but I really didn't want to talk about it without Bella being here. "Well, gee dad tells Sue I said thanks. But I want to wait until Bella gets back so we can talk about details."

Billy sighed angrily at me, "Jake you're the man of this family so you make the choices not Bella,"

"What king of world do you live in old man? You're supposed to have an equal relationship with your partner. Which means you must talk things over so you both agree with it,"

"Whatever, Jake," Billy grumbled. He wheeled himself out of the room and into the kitchen.

I laughed silently. I looked at the clock-something I did very often since Bella left- to see how much time had passed. It was already 2 pm. I pulled out my cell phone and texted Bella.

'Hey, wutcha doin' babe. Other than taking Renee to the airport,' I typed.

I sent the message and closed my phone back. That's when I heard Aaron's loud cry come from my room. I got off the couch and walked towards my room. I swear I think my sons part spider monkey. Aaron was on the outside of the bars swinging I was guessing he couldn't get down or he was afraid he might fall. I laughed and walked over towards him. I lifted him up from the bars and placed him on the floor. He smiled and started giggling.

"Your one bizarre kid. You probably get it from your mom," I laughed even harder.

"Mama," he giggled again.

"Yeah, mama,"

Out of nowhere, Aaron's eyes began to fill with tears and a loud cry broke from his lips. I bent down and picked him. I laid him on my shoulder so I could calm him down, but he only screamed louder.

"Aaron, what do you want?" I asked anxious.

"Mama, mama, mama," He chanted.

"Okay, okay mommy will be home soon I promise…she promised." I smiled.

He calmed down a bit, but the tears still flowed down his cheeks. I wiped them away and he smiled. I walked out the room and back into the living room. Thank god Billy wasn't there. I didn't feel like getting into it with my dad again. I plopped down on the couch and began flipping through the channels. I found this reality show call Jersey Shore. I was never really the one for reality shows but there was nothing on and I was bored.

3 hours had passed and still no sign of Bella. I texted her over 12 times asking her where was she? She never texted back and that worried me. Maybe she just got caught up in traffic or something. Or she probably had to stop somewhere and pick something up. Yeah she'll be back home soon.

3 more hours past and I started to really panic now. Aaron wouldn't be quiet. I offered him a bottle and I checked to see if he was wet, but he wasn't. It was starting to get dark outside and I was starting to freak out. I decided to call Charlie. Maybe she was at his house or something.

I got off the couch and went to go put Aaron in his bed. I didn't bother trying to get him to be quiet so I left the room and nearly ran to the phone. I dialed Charlie's number and waited for him to answer.

He answered on the third ring, "Swan residence,"

"Charlie, hey, it's me Jake. Do you know where Bella is? She hasn't come home yet," I ran through the words so quickly they sounded like one word.

"No, actually. The last time I saw her is when she came to pick up Renee."

This was devastating news to me. "Okay,"

"Did you try texting her?" He asked.

"Yes, 13 times in a row. She didn't reply."

Charlie sighed, "Look Jake don't worry okay she's probably out doing something,"

Why wasn't he taking this seriously? This is his daughter were talking about and he's telling me not to worry. Please. "Charlie how do you expect me to calm down? Don't you think she would have called or something. This is bad,"

"Okay, Jake. Look I'll send all the cops out to look for her okay in the mean time go and relax okay,"

"Yeah, bye." I hung up the phone.

I decided to call the pack. I wasn't going to wait around for some cops to find her. They probably wouldn't do a good job at it. It's time to take matters in my own hands. I picked up the phone again and dialed Sam's number. He answered on the first ring.

"Hey, Jake what's up?" Sam said.

"You know how you and Emily said that if Bella and I ever needed anything don't hesitate to call, right?"

"Yeah," He said slowly. "What's going on Jake?"

"Bella went to go drop Renee off at the airport about 6 hours ago and she hasn't came back at all. I texted her and everything, but she doesn't reply. Sam I'm worried something may have happened and I need you and the pack to help me search for her," When I was finished it felt like I wanted to cry.

"Okay, I'll get the pack to meet at Emily's," He informed me.

"Wait, but I go Aaron who's going to take care of him while I'm out? I can't just leave him,"

"Right. Um… I'll get Leah to roll by okay."

"Sounds good. Thanks Sam." I said sincerely.

"You're my brother, man I like helping you out. Be here soon. Bye." He hung up the phone.

I put the phone down and ran into my room to get Aaron. Of course he was still sobbing loudly and every time he screamed it made me want to cry. I picked him up from the bed and held him close. I sped out of my room and into the living room. I sat on the couch with Aaron and waited for Leah to arrive. I rocked Aaron back and forth trying to calm him down but his cries just became louder and louder. To distract myself I thought about how I was with my mom before she passed away in a car accident. That's when my whole body went ridged from the memory. What if Bella was in a…? I stopped myself. The memory knocked the breath right out of me.

That's when I heard a loud thud at the door. I got up quickly and strode towards the door. I swung it open and saw Leah standing in the doorway with an agonized look on her perfect face. She wore no makeup today or fancy clothes on. Her hair was all over the place too. She simply wore one of her old sundress. Before she even came in she took Aaron from my arms and walked in the house.

"Go find her, Jake." She whispered.

Without another word I ran out the door, pulled off my shorts and phased. I ran towards Emily's house with blinding speed. All the thoughts rushed in my mind now. Where was my girl? Oh, I swear whoever took her they will die a slow and painful death. I pushed myself further ahead, desperate to get this search started. I finally found the break in the trees and I hurled myself towards the opening. Emily's house was brighter than usual and crowded. I phased back and pulled on my shorts. I ran up to the brightly lilted house and turned the door knob. I walked in and saw Emily's living room crowded. Everyone was quiet and deep in thought.

I walked in further and searched the room for Sam. He was leaning up against the wall with Emily's hand in his. I looked away, not wanting to bring on hysterics. But something was different. I looked around and saw Kim with Jared and Quil with his for now girlfriend, Alicia. Everyone's significant other was with the guys, except mine. Everyone looked at me with apologies in their eyes. Even Alicia, who doesn't even know Bella, was repentant. Sam stepped forward and stared to call the pack to order.

"We have an important mission to complete and I need everyone to help out. Bella is missing and we need to find her quickly. We need to break everyone up in groups, so all of us can look in more than one place. Jake, Embry, Quil, Colin, and Brady are going to patrol La Push. Jared, Paul, Seth, Peirce, and I will search forks. Hania and Wyatt are going to search in Seattle, Canada, Hoquiam, and the other villages for her. We will search until we can find her. So let's get going." Sam stalked out the room.

We all followed behind them. I phased without even thinking about removing my shorts. Everyone around me was already in their wolf forms getting ready to go. I ran into the woods and started east.

'You guys got a pretty good whiff of her scent right?'I asked.

'Yeah, boss.' Embry said.

'Good causes were splitting up. Embry you take the perimeter, Colin you run south, Quil you run North, Brady you run east, and I got the western hemisphere. Alright guys get going.'

We all ran in our directions and began to search. I sniffed every tree, every inch of the grass and even leaves. I dived in the riverbank and swam all the way across and back. Still no sign of Bella. We searched and searched for what seemed like hours. I was getting more exhausted by the hour. I slowed down my pass to a trot and so did the others. Colin and Brady were getting tired and so were Embry and Quil.

'You guys can go. I'll just keep running by myself.' I told them.

'No, Jake we're staying with you.' Embry said.

'Me too,' Quil spoke up.

The only ones that didn't answer were Colin and Brady. They know they wanted to say yes, but I guess they really wanted to help me out.

Colin and Brady go get some sleep. Embry, Quil, and I got it from here.'

'Sure, boss. See you guys later.' Brady said.

'See you later, Jake. I'm really sorry about Bella,' Collin said shyly.

'Thanks guys," I said back.

We continued to run for the remainder of the night until the sun was about to break through the clouds. I stopped where I was and fell on my belly. There comes a point in ever man's life when the man has to cry and today was that day for me. I cried harder than I ever had before. The only girl in the world who had caught my eye was missing. Someone so evil and conniving would have the nerve to take away my happiness.

She's the mother of my child, my significant other, my wife, my best friend, my lover, and my life. And now I have nothing, nothing at all. All because some nimrod wanted to be an asshole and take my girl away from me. I began to cry even harder. Quil and Embry rushed over to me. Embry nudged me with his nose.

'Jake, we will find her. We promise. Come on we should get you home." Embry suggested

'She promised, she promised me.' I murmured.

'She promised what Jake?' Quil asked.

I didn't answer back. I just lay there numb, weak, and hopeless. The guys stayed with me, trying to get me to get up and go home. I didn't respond at all. They eventually gave up and ran off. Before Embry left he touched his paw to my back. Never in my life had I'd ever felt so…so vulnerable. I cried until there were no more tears left in my eyes. God, bring her back to me please.

"Jake, please get up. You're worrying us." A familiar voice said.

'Go away,' I thought in a monotone voice.

"Jake, man get up please."

It was Embry.

I just continued to lay there as he tried to get me to phase back. But at this point I no one could make me get up. Unless it was my darling Bella. I placed my paws over my eyes and whimpered.

"Awe, Jake come on get up. Sam wants to talk to you about some stuff. He's switching up the groups so get up."

Well, if we're still looking for Bella I might as well get up and hear what Sam has to say.

"Charlie came by today and told us the cops searched for your car and they can't find it. They searched the woods and the airport for her. Charlie and Renee are messed up dude and your son is screaming louder than any baby should," He said.

I groaned and then lifted up from the ground. My legs were stiff and my head was pounding because of all the crying I did last night. I phased back. Embry gratefully turned his head as he handed me my shorts. I pulled them and started walking ahead of Embry.

"Hey, Jake wait up." Embry said as he ran towards me.

"Embry not now. Please,"

He nodded and then went silence.

It didn't take long for us to reach Billy's house. I turned the door knob and walked in. It was actually silent and that I was grateful for. I didn't hear Aaron's cries or any arguing. The pack wasn't in my living room though. I looked around confused.

"There outside," He whispered.

"Why are you whispering?" I asked curious.

"Aaron hasn't slept in 5 hours and he's sleeping right now. Leah's beat. She hasn't slept in hours. So Shh,"

I nodded.

He walked towards the back door and walked out. I followed behind him slowly. The pack was standing around with desperate looks on their faces. They looked up when they saw me and smiled. Emily ran over to me and wrapped her hands around my waist.

"OH, Jacob, sweetie are you okay?" Emily asked concerned.

"I guess," I whispered sadly.

She loosened her hold on my waist and she skipped over towards Sam.

"Okay guys, were not getting anywhere so we must change our strategy. We are not going to be in groups any longer. Everyone will patrol an area by themselves. Jake you're going to search La Push. Collin I know you're not used to go anywhere without Brady but today you have to. Collin your patrolling Hoquiam. Embry your patrolling forks, Quil you got Seattle. Paul, Jared, Hania, Wyatt, Pierce, and I are going to look near the airport.

"We have all day to search for her, so get going." Sam finished.

The pack ran into the woods after Sam and so did the rest. I wasn't ready to go yet so I walked back into my house and sat on the couch. I reached over and took my iPod from the cocktail table and put the earphones in my ear. My iPod turned on and I flipped through the first song that came to mind. Blink 182 "I miss you".

I miss you(x2)

Hello there the angel from my nightmare

The shadow in the back ground of the morgue

The unsuspecting victim of darkness in the valley

We can live like Jack and Sally if we want

Where you can always find me

And we'll have Halloween on Christmas

And in the night we'll wish this never ends

We'll wish this never ends

I miss you(x4)

Where are you?

And I'm so sorry

I cannot sleep I cannot dream tonight

I need somebody and always

This sick strange darkness

Comes creeping on so haunting every time

And as I stared I counted

The webs from all the spiders

Catching things and eating their insides

Like indecision to call you

And hear your voice of treason

Will you come home and stop this pain tonight

Stop this pain to night

Don't waste your time on me

You're already the voice inside my head(x2)

I miss you(x4)

*Music*

Don't waste your time on me

You're already the voice inside my head(x4)

I miss you(x15)

I didn't realize I was crying until the song had ended. I heard light footsteps come near me and I guessed it was Leah. She sat down on the couch and rubbed my shoulder. I cried even harder when I thought of how Bella touched me. I shrugged away from Leah's touch. I put my head and my hands and continued to weep like a baby. My world suddenly felt heavier on me as I weight the possibilities. If Bella was gone then how was I going to take care of our son? I wasn't well equipped to be a single dad yet. And if Bella was gone would I stay on the lonely earth and live out my life or would I just end it. I didn't want to but a world without Bella was like a world without the sun. Nothing would ever be bright again.

But I had to believe that she was still out there somewhere. I had to believe that I would find her soon again. I had to believe that she would be in my arms again. I closed my eyes tightly and hoped and prayed that she is okay. I miss you Bella, I thought to myself.

For the next three days my life has become more and more meaningless. I fell into the same routine everyday now. I'd come home at 3 in the morning, cry myself to sleep, wake up, take a shower, put on my shorts, and then leave. Nothing changed much around here. I wasn't in good enough condition to take care of my son so I passed him off to Leah until I could find her. Oh and did I mention, every time I speak her name I break down and curl up in a ball? Yeah my life is a complete wreck and I'm ready to end it.

I got out of bed and trudged to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and got in, not bothering to check the temperature. I washed up quickly and then stepped out. I dried off, brushed my teeth, and walked into the bedroom and put on my shorts. Once I was finished with my boring routine, I left my room and headed for the door.

"Dad, I'm gone," I said in a monotone voice.

"Okay, Jacob," He called back.

I walked out into the misty rain, slipped off my shorts and then phased. I pushed myself harder and harder each day I went to go search for her. I tried to escape to the mountains before dumb and dumber get here. See my jokes didn't even sound the same. That's when I heard 4 sets of paws thudding through the forest. Speak of the devils.

"Hey, Jacob, Ready to patrol today?" Quil asked.

"Sure, sure,"

Embry gave up on all attempts to talk to me. I don't know how I'm supposed to act in this kind of situation, but I'm not going to be all jolly and crap. I ran faster and faster up the mountains.

"Jake, maybe she's not in the mountains. We've looked here over a million times. Maybe we should go further out," Quil suggested.

"Where, Quil?" I asked irritated.

"Maybe near, that old lumber mill. We can search around there."

I sighed, "Sure, but you lead the way. I don't know where the mill is,"

Quil smiled a big wolfy grin and I tried my best to do the same.

Quil lead us out of the mountains and near the break in the trees. We crossed the road and bonded back into the underbrush of the forest. This part of the forest didn't have as much trees as the other part of the forest did, so it made it easier for us to weave in and out the bushes. We came across a sign that had bright colors and said: "Welcome to Ragu's Lumber Mill." The sign was worn down and covered in mud and debris.

"Alright guys I'll take the south end of the forest. You guys can take east and west of the forest. Is that cool?" Quil asked.

"Yeah, sure,"

Embry and I split up and began sniffing out her scent. Just like any other day I sniffed the trees, leaves, and grass. I was going to get her back one way or another.

'Er…Jake can I talk to you for a moment?' Embry asked.

'Sure go ahead,"

'If we don't find her will we stop searching?"

I thought about that for a second. Did I want to keep searching? Of course. Did I have the strength to continue to look for her? Yes, yes I do. 'You don't have, but I still am."

'Okay,'

We continued to run in our directions, not finding anything. We were getting close to the break in the trees so I began to slow down. Once we were out the forest I looked over towards Embry and he shook his head. I whimpered. Where else could she be? I looked away from Embry and when I did my eye caught a familiar red car parked on the side of the road. It was my car that Bella was driving when she went missing. My breath caught in my throat when realization hit me. Bella must be in the car or very close. Without another thought I ran over towards the car.

Just the fraction of your love fills the air….

I stuck my paw in the space between the handle and the door. I opened it and stuck my head in the car. It could barley fit and I kept hitting myself on the head but I didn't care. I looked around, but I couldn't see her. I could smell her though and some other foreign scent too. That was probably the one who took my girl. Suddenly I heard a familiar heartbeat coming from in the forest. It was Bella. I got out the car and ran towards the sound.

And I fall in love with you all over again…

You're the light that feeds the sun in my world….

I'd face a thousand years of pain for my girl…

The sound began to get louder and louder as I got closer. I broke through the trees of the forest and I came across Ragu's Lumber Mill.

Out all the things in life that I could fear…

The only thing that would hurt me is if you weren't here…

I don't want to go back to just being one half of the equation

Do you understand what I'm saying?

The doors were chained together. I was starting to think that maybe she wasn't in there, but I began to smell her floral scent. I jogged backwards and little and then I hurled myself at the door. The door broke down and sent splinters of wood flying everywhere. Some of which wounded my back, but I didn't care.

Girl without you I'm lost

Can't fix this compass at heart

What you need love is a common denominator

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Common Denominator

Oh oh oh oh oh oh

Before your love was low

Playing girls was my high

You changed the game now

I put my card hat aside

That's when I saw her. She was chained to a chair and her head was hung low. My heart burst into sprints when I saw her. I was insanely glad that I didn't listen to Embry about giving up the search for my Bella.

When broken hearts rise up to say

That love is a lie

You and I will stand to be love's reply

Out of all the things in life that I could fear

Yeah, Yeah

The only thing that would hurt me is if you weren't here, here, here

Yeah, yeah

I don't want go back to just being one half of the equation

Do you understand what I'm saying?

(Do you understand?)

Girl without you I'm lost

Can't fix this compass at heart

All you need love is the common denominator

Oh oh oh oh oh oh oh

Common denominator

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I transformed back into my human form and slipped in my pants. I ran over to her and ran my hands across her cheek. I began to untie her hands and feet. I noticed that the asshole who took my happiness also chained the chair to a wall. I took both of the chains in my hands and yanked them both out of the wall. Once Bella was free I scooped her up in my arms and ran out the warehouse.

I can't image life without your touch

And every kiss that you give it fills me up

To all the heart ache and all the jealous females hatin

Imma hold it down for you

(You)

Oh, oh, oh,

Common denominator

(I don't want to go back)

I don't want to go back to just being one half of the equation

Do you understand what I'm saying?

Girl without you I'm lost

Can't fix this compass at heart

What you need love is a common denominator

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

Common denominator

Oh, oh, oh, oh, oh, oh

I dropped to my knees in front of the warehouse and began to sob. At this moment I didn't know what to feel. My wife was back in my arms. She was alive and safe. My life has been a wreck for days, but once I had Bella in my arms it felt like those days were a distant memory or a bad nightmare. Bella was back with me. I blinked the final tears away and then lowered my lips to hers. And I began to kiss her with a passion that could make my heart burst.

The fraction of your love fills the air…

And I fall in love with you all over again…

Part 2: Bella black

Where was I? I thought to myself. Did the beautiful girl come back with her coven so they could feast on me? Impossible it's only been three days she wasn't supposed to be back until tomorrow. Maybe her thirst got the best of her and she decided to come back early. But all my queries made no since now, because I felt blazing hot hands under me. The heat reminded me of my Jacob, but how could he find me? I was too far away and too deep in uncharted areas.

I struggled to open my eyes, so I could make out why I was so hot. My eyelids didn't budge at all. I really start to think I was crazy when I heard two husky voices around me.

"You found her," The husky voice exclaimed.

"Yeah, I did." The other husky voice whispered. "Go contact Sam and the others and tell them she's safe,"

"Alright I will," the first husky voice I heard, said.

"Oh and Embry thanks for helping me," the other husky voice said.

Embry? Embry was here. Yeah I think I'm officially crazy.

"No problem, Jake. I mean what are best friends for?" The husky voice laughed.

Jacob? My Jacob was here with me?

I didn't hear the voice anymore so I guessed he left.

I still wasn't totally convinced that I wasn't crazy. I continued to try to open my eyes, but I got the same results. Nothing.

"Bella, Bella honey. Can you hear me? You're safe now. Nobody's going to hurt now. Your safe with me baby," My Jacob hallucination soothed.

It sounded just like his voice. And it was so close too. Once again I tried to open my eyes and this time I actually did. My eyes were still squinted though because of the bright sun shining down from the trees. I closed my eyes and then opened them so I could adjust to the sun better. Being cooped up in a warehouse puts a big toll on your vision. I opened them wider and wider until I could make out the figures around me. I looked up and saw the one thing in my life that made my heart beat faster, made my palms sweat, and made me weak at the knees.

It was him. My Jacob was actually with me with his arms under my limp body. I wanted so badly to touch his cheek, but my body was too weak. I tried out my voice next.

"Ja- Jacob," I whispered. My voice was really hoarse too.

His eyes went bright with excitement. "Bella? Oh, Bella. Are you okay?"

"Yes," I whispered hoarsely.

He leaned down and touched his lips gently to mine. "My Bella, let's get you home now."

He lifted up from off the ground and carried me forward. I heard a car door open and close. I looked around and saw that we were in the rabbit. My head rested in his lap while my legs were curled up on the other seat. He started the engine and began to zoom away from the horrendous warehouse. I was happy that I was finally found. Now I could go see my son and the rest of my family. I know Jake probably told Charlie about me missing. Poor Charlie. He was probably worrying about me now.

And definitely Jake. He was falling apart when were at the warehouse. I would hate to see how he was the past three days. On the ride home, Jake would occasionally run his fingers through my hair and across my cheek. He lowered his head and kissed me a million times already too. But I was glad I was finally able to be with him again. The car came to a stop a couple of minutes later and I was suddenly being lifted out of the car. Jake held me close to his body as he walked towards a familiar white house. It was Emily's house.

Jake walked up toward the house and turned the door knob. When Jake stepped in the door we were greeted by the pack.

"Is she okay?" I heard Emily's voice say.

"Yeah she's alright. She's awake too."

"Go lay her in my bed. She must be traumatized."

Jake walked up the stairs towards Emily's bed room. He laid me down and the covered me up with a blanket. I snuggled under the blanket, so I could keep warm. I was so relieved that I was back home, but I was still insanely afraid. Whoever that mysterious girl was, I bet she'll come back to find me once she gets back. No matter where I was danger always followed behind me like a shadow and now I'm casting that shadow on my family. The girl may not be strong enough to take down the pack, but she was strong enough to hurt me and my family. A shiver went down my back at the thought of her hurting Charlie or my son.

I popped up from under the covers and jumped out the bed. "Aaron? Where is he? Where is my baby?" I shouted.

"Bella? What's wrong…? Aaron is with Leah. Are you okay?" Jake asked franticly.

"I want to see him now," I shouted.

"Bella, he'll be by soon get some sleep sweetie." Jake soothed me.

"No," I began to sob now. "No, I want to see him now."

Jake's lips turned down in a frown. He walked towards me and wrapped his arm around my waist and hugged me. I sobbed in his chest harder. He kissed my hair and towed me back towards the bed. He sat down on the bed first and then pulled me down on his lap. He rocked me back and forth trying to calm me down.

"It's okay Bella. I promise you'll see him. Just please get some sleep, honey."

I nodded against his chest and let sleep claim me.

My nightmare started off differently this time. I was running through the dark forest at full speed trying to escape whatever was trying to get me. Suddenly I tripped over something and fell. I laid on the ground face up. The wind stirred around me as five beautiful pale figures surrounded me. They all leaned down and sunk their teeth into my skin.

I popped up from my bed and gasped. My breathing was rough and slow.

"Bella, are you alright?" Jake asked as he rubbed my back.

"Yeah, I'm fine." I breathed. "I need some water. I'll be back."

"No," Jake grabbed my arm lightly. "I'll get it."

I nodded gratefully.

He got up from the bed and walked out the room. I laid back down on the bed and tried to catch my breath. I could tell I would be having this dream for at least a week or two. Jake came back in the room a few minutes later with a tall glass of water in his hand. He walked over towards me and handed me the water. I sat up and began to gulp the water down. It tasted good going down my rare throat; I haven't drunken in days. I placed the glass on the table once I was finished.

"Whoa, I had no Idea you were that thirsty." Jake chuckled without humor.

I sighed, "Neither did I."

"Umm…I called Charlie and told him you were alright. He said he's going to drop by to see you later."

"Thanks, Jake."

"You want to go back to sleep?" He asked me.

"Yeah,"

I laid back down and dosed back off to sleep hoping my previous dream wouldn't reappear.

When I woke up again, it was dark outside. The door was wide open and the hall light was on. I pulled the covers away from my body and got out the bed. I stretched my stiff arms and legs and then left the room. I trudged off to the bathroom. I closed the door once I got in the bathroom. I looked myself in the mirror for the first time in three days. The first thing I noticed was that my eyes had purple like bruises under them. My face was ashen pale and my cheek bones were more evident. I turned on the water and began to wash my face off. I wanted to take a shower so badly but I didn't have any clothes with me.

I sighed and then left the bathroom. When I walked back into Emily's room my heart dropped. I saw Jake on the bed with a tiny baby resting in his arms. I gasped and then hurled myself towards them. I sat down next to Jake and took Aaron out of his arms. I held Aaron tightly to my chest and kissed his forehead. I missed him so much. I rocked him back and forth lightly. This was an unbelievable moment. I never thought I would live long enough to hold my three week old son again.

"Oh my baby I missed you so much," I said as I kissed his forehead again. "I promise not to leave you ever again. I promise."

Jake wrapped his arm around us and gave us a tight squeeze.

"I'm so glad you're back with me bells. Please don't ever leave me." Jake's voice cracked on the last word.

I rested my head on his shoulder. "I promise,"

I continued to rock Aaron back and forth. After a while Jake told me that he had to go see the pack so they could have a meeting. He kissed Aaron and I good bye. Before he left to room he turned to smile at me. I smiled back then went back to paying attention to my son. He looked so adorable when he slept, just like his dad. I didn't want to wake him, but I really wanted to assure him that mommy was home and that she will never go anywhere again.

As if he read my mind, he began to stir in my arms. His eyes raised slowly until they were fully open. I touched his cheek and stroked it lightly.

"Hey baby, it's mommy."I cooed.

"Ma Ma?" Aaron said, his voice heavy with sleep.

"Yes baby it's me mama,"

"Ma," He squealed loudly.

I laughed at his eagerness. "Awe my little baby boy."

I placed him on my shoulder and patted his back. I was so overwhelmed with this the fact that I was back home with my family. These past three days only felt like a bad dream now.

I continued to play with Aaron until it was getting close for him to go to bed. The diaper bag wasn't near me so I couldn't put him in his pajamas. Maybe it was downstairs, I thought. But I wasn't ready to face anyone right now so I just removed Aaron's shorts which left him in his diaper and t-shirt. It seemed like I didn't have to go through the trouble of trying to get him to sleep, so I laid him down on the edge of the pillow and covered his legs. His eyes drooped shut and soon I heard a light snore come from his lips. I smiled and watched him sleep peacefully.

A couple of minutes later, Jacob walked through the door with a duffle bag on his shoulder. He didn't, I thought. He creped in the room slowly and placed the bag down near the wall closet to the door. He came towards me and kissed my lips.

"Here you go, babe. I thought you might want some new clothes. Emily said you can go take a shower if you want." He smiled.

"Oh thank you so much, Jake. Your amazing,"

He kissed my lips again, "And so are you."

Suddenly his full lips turned down in a grimace. He sat down on the floor near my legs and took my hand in his. He kissed the back of my hand several times.

"Bella, what did this…parasite look like?" He said in a small voice.

Oh no. I wasn't ready to talk about it yet. Though the memories were still clear in my head, I tried my best to forget them. I looked down at our tangled hands and concentrated on my breathing. Every time I thought about the beautiful pale face, I would get chills down my spine and my breathing would hitch. I was honestly still trying to figure out what she was (she was neither human or vampire). I didn't think I was ready to tell Jake about this extraordinary being just yet.

Jake sensed my hesitation and quickly rebuffed, "Um if you're not ready you don't have to tell me now. Maybe when you feel better. I'm sorry."

I stroked his cheek with my free hand. "It's okay, Jake. Your just concerned I understand. But I promise I will tell you when soon. I'm just still a little shaken up."

He nodded quickly.

"I'll go take a shower now. Thanks again for the clothes,"

"Anytime." He whispered.

I untangled our hands and got off the bed. I walked over to my duffle bag and got my toiletries out. I smiled at Jake once again and then left the room. I headed to the bathroom and began to start the shower. Once I got in the shower I felt a whole lot better. I ran my hands through my tousled hair. I picked up my strawberry shampoo and squirted it in my hair. When I was finished I turned off the water and stepped out the shower. I wrapped my towel under my arms and went towards the sink so I could brush my teeth.

When I was finished I walked out the bathroom and back into Emily's. Jake wasn't there this time and neither was Aaron. I was beginning to get frantic, but I quickly calmed down. He was just probably with Jake and the rest of the gang. I went over to my duffle bag and pulled out an old t-shirt and some old jeans. I found my comb in the bottom of my bag and began to comb through my wet hair.

I felt better now that I was in clean clothes and that my hair didn't smell like the rainforest. Next thing I needed to accomplish was to quench my hunger. I wasn't fully ready to go down stairs and face them yet, but I was hungry and I didn't want Jake to worry about me so much. I sighed and left the room. I walked down the stairs slowly, not in any rush to see anyone right now.

When I reached the bottom steps I coward out and turned around. I sat down on the steps and put my head in between my legs. I had no clue why I was reacting this way but I guess when a person gets kidnapped by someone dangerous and scary they kind of lose their minds.

"Ugh this sucks," I said to myself.

"Bella?" A soft voice called.

I looked up and saw Leah standing in front of me with a concerned look in her eyes. She reached her hand out but quickly shoved it into her jean pocket. She stared deep in my eyes waiting for me to respond. That's when I noticed that Leah wasn't the only on devastated my kidnap. She look a total wreck. Her eyes had purple bruises under them and her hair was frizzy and out of place. I noticed her attire had changed too. Instead of her wearing her curve hugging jeans and her form fitting shirt, she wore a pair of khaki cargo pants and a faded pink tank top that had holes in the side.

My mouth dropped open as I took her in. "L-Leah, are you okay?"

A wide smile stretched across her face, "Bella, oh Bella I missed you so much. Is it okay if I give you a hug?"

"Of course, Leah."

She leaned down and wrapped her arms around my body gently. She squeezed me lightly and kissed my hair. She released me and stepped back.

"Are you ready to eat? You seem hungry." She smiled.

I nodded and raised up from the steps.

Leah offered me her hand and I took it gratefully. She lead me into the kitchen where Jake, Emily, Wyatt, and Sam were. My head automatically dropped to the ground when their heads turned to stare at me. Leah lead me further into the kitchen and sat me down in a wooden chair. I crossed my hands and my lap and looked down at them, trying to forget about my audience.

Leah walked into the kitchen and grabbed a plate out the dish rack. She went over to the stove and packed the plate with food. She brought It over to me and sat it down. It was steak and potato. Jake's favorite, not mine. But I was too hungry to care so I just dug in the steak and began to eat. It was delicious. It's been three days since I've had a meal and this really hit the spot. Once I was finished eating Emily brought me a tall glass of ice tea. I sipped that down too.

"Thanks Emily and Leah," I said, smiling ruefully.

"Anytime dear. Are you still hungry?" She asked.

I shook my head and then got up from the table. "Where's Aaron?"

"By the couch sleep in his carriage." Jake said.

I smiled and walked towards Jake. I grabbed his hand and twined my fingers through his. He looked down at me and smiled.

I wanted so badly to tell him about the girl I saw when I was gone, but I couldn't trust myself just yet. But if I wanted him to find this girl so she can't hurt me anymore I guess I have to tell him.

"Um…Jake can I'm ready to tell you about…What happened." I gulped.

He turned and faced me. "You don't have to, honey."

I took his hand and held it against my cheek. "But I want to."

He sighed and lead me into the living room. He sat down on the couch and I sat down on his lap. If I was going to tell him the whole story I was going to need him if I start to break down. He rested his right hand on my waist while his left hand rested on my thigh.

I took a deep breath and then began to speak. I explained to how she towed me away from the airport and moved me into an abandoned warehouse. I told him how the beautiful girl looked even though it sent chills down my spine. I also told him about how she told me that her coven would come back and hunt me. But she said it so calmly that it scared me even more. By time I was finished by my story, Jake was shaking underneath me. I placed my hand on his cheek, trying to calm him down. His shaking stopped when I touched him.

"Is that all, Bella." He said through clenched teeth.

"Afraid so," I chuckled weakly.

"These might be the same vampires we've been hunting for the past week. I better kill them before they come anywhere near you again,"

"How's Charlie?" I asked, trying to distract him.

"She's been a wreck just like I have." He chuckled weakly, "Everyone for that matter. You saw Leah and how she looked right? She's been like that for three days straight. She took care of Aaron for me when I was out looking for you. We all were messed up,"

My head dropped. "I'm sorry I worried you guys so much.

He took his hand off my thigh and lifted my chin with his finger. "It was never your fault. It's those sick bloodsuckers's fault and I will do everything to make sure they pay for what they did to you. To me…." He trailed off.

I grabbed his hand and held it to my cheek. "Thank you."

Aaron's ear piercing cry broke Jake and me out of our moment. I got up from Jake's lap and walked over to the end of the couch to grab Aaron out of his crib. I picked him up and placed him on my shoulder. Suddenly I smelt an unpleasing scent. It was Aaron's diaper.

"Eww…" Jake exclaimed. "What is the smell?"

"Aaron."

He laughed and nodded.

"Where's his diaper bag?" I wondered.

"Up stairs in Emily's guest room,"

"Thanks," I smiled.

I walked out of the living room and made my way up the narrow stairs. I walked into the guest room and immediatly placed Aaron on the bed. He was stinking worse and worse by the second. I found the bag on the chair in the corner of her room. I retrieved the bag from the chair and made my way back to my stinky son. As I removed the dirty diaper from him, he burst out laughing. It made me laugh to see him happy agian. I bet he had a hard time cooping with my absence too. I wiped all the icky goo off of his bottom and put a new diaper on him. There goes that cute toothy smile again. I turned away from Aaron to zip up his diaper bag. That's when I saw something flashing in my peripheral vision. I turned my head fully and saw that it was my cell phone.

I reached in the bag slowly to retrieve my phone. I started to look through my phone even though I feared what I might find. I pushed the button that lead to my messages and missed calls and what I found shocked me. I had 42 text messages, 83 missed calls, and 19 voicemails. My mouth dropped open. I started to read all the names of those who left messages. Most of the texts messages were from Alice and most of the calls were from Jake. I had no clue I worried them this much. I saw a couple of calls from Renee and Charlie, too.

I didn't realize that Alice had seen me get kidnapped. I mean if she had, couldn't she just drop by Charlie's, call Jake, and tell them I had disappeared to an unknown destination? I decided not to really get too worked up about it. Because, for one, I was safe again and I couldn't bare to think about my horrindous weekend. I placed my back in the diaper bag and turned my attention back to my still bubbley baby. I picked him up and placed him on my shoulder. Oh my god, he was getting heavier and heavier by the days. And he must have grown bigger in my absence. I exited the room and began to walk down the stairs. I sruggled a little bit with keeping my balance, but I made it down stairs.

Once I reached the bottom step, I felt like my back would give out. I took Aaron off my shoulder and sat him on the floor. "Sorry, buddy, I gotta put you down now."

He whined and strecthed his little arms towards me. When I didn't make move to pick him up, he jolted out his lower lip and tears started to collect in his eyes. oh what the hell! I thought. I picked him up and placed him on my hip. When he did that face he looked a lot like Jake when he pleaded with me. I walked into the living room where Jake was and plopped down on the couch next to him. I sat Aaron upright on my lap and he laid back on my chest.

"Well, he doesn't stink anymore." Jake laughed.

"Yeah and he sure isn't tiny anymore either,"

"I know. Emily told us that it won't be long before he's the size a two year old."

I pouted, "Awe, my baby's growing up already,"

Jake stroked Aaron's long hair, "I know. It sucks."

"Da da," Aaron said.

Jake turned away from the television and directed his attention to Aaron. "Hey, buddy."

Aaron held out his tiny arms towards Jake. He took him out of my arms in one swift motion. It didn't even look like his weight effected him at all. I looked over at Jake in disbelief.

"What?" He chuckled.

"How...how could you pick him up so easily? He's super heavy," I asked, still shocked.

He patted his chest with his hand, "Werewolf, remember?"

"Oh, right." I huffed.

I turned back to the television after a moment. A pointless housing commercial came on tv. Suddenly I heard Jake silently curse himself.

"Oh, Bella, you'll never guest what Sue's giving us," Jacob exclaimed. His face was lit up like a child's on christmas day.

"Should I guess?"

He nodded eagerly.

"Um... baby clothes?"

"Nope,"

"Car?"

"No," he said slowly.

"Okay I give. What is it?"

"A house!" He exclaimed.

My mouth popped wide open. I would have never guessed it would be that.

"She's moving out in a couple of days and she said when we...found you, we can move in," His voice broke on the last part.

"That's amazing, Jake." I said trying to lighten his mood.

It worked. He perked right back up. " She said we could come by tomorrow and look around and maybe even start bringing some things over. I'm bringing my old bed so Aaron can have it when he starts to outgrow his crib. I ordered a king sized bed for us with the money I saved up. Billy put in a good word for me down at the mechanic shop, so we'll get some extra money to-," I cut him off mid sentence.

"Wait, your getting a job?" I asked, bewildered. How was he supposed to keep up with the pack and keep a job? He would be too over whelmed.

He raised his eye brow at me and nodded slowly. "Of course. I mean we have a baby now and I have to pay for the house, too. I'm your husband, Bella, I have to take care of you and provide for you all the time."

" I know its just that you have other duties to fulfill and I don't want you to feel overwhelmed or anything."

He shook his head," Quil and Sam have jobs, too and they don't feel overwhelmed. It's all about balance, baby. And just because we're werewolves, doesn't mean we can't live a normal life." He explained.

I smiled. "I understand. Maybe I could even get a part time job at the book store in port angeles. I could stay with Aaron in the morning and work in the afternoon."

"No, sweetie. You don't have to get a job. I got us covered don't worry." His voice went lower the next time he spoke. "And Plus, I dont want you out of my sight until we find these bloodsuckers."

"I know. But it would really help us out and I want to get a job." I insisted.

"Fine with me, Bells." He said.

He leaned over and touched his lips to mine. I curled up closer to Jake and leaned my head on his shoulder. My hair cascaded down my cheek and covered half my face. Aaron reached out and took a hand full and started tugging lightly on it. It felt better to be home again. I missed them so much while I was...away. I tried my hardest not to think about the things that had happen to me a couple of days ago, but it always popped in my head at the most worst times. I tried to foucus on the fact that Jake and I were finally becoming a family. Not a normal one, but close enough.

My thoughts were interrupted when I heard a loud shrill come from the kitchen. Jake got up from the couch, with Aaron still in his arms, and bounded off towards the kitchen. The ringing stopped when Jake picked up the phone and began talking.

"Young residents." He said.

He paused, waiting for a reply.

"Oh, yeah she's fine now, Charlie."

Charlie? He must still be worried sick about me. Poor Charlie. Knowing him he probably called the whole swat team to come look for me.

"Sure. She'd love that. Okay, see you soon. Bye." I heard him place the phone back on the cradle and walk back in the living room.

"Is Charlie okay?" I asked him before he even got the chance to sit down.

"Yeah, he's fine. He wanted to know if you we're okay. I told him you were fine. He'll drop by after work." He told me.

I sighed relieved. "Good. I miss him."

"I know," he said as he snuggled closer to me again.

"Grandpa cwoming?" Aaron asked.

"Yeah, buddy grandpa's coming over." Jake told him.

Aaron squealed and clapped his tiny hands together. Jake and I lauged at his excitment.

Charlie came over a little after eight. Once he saw me he grabbed me and gave me an almost bone crushing hug and a kiss on each cheek. Charlie had never been this affectionate before and it surprised me. Charlie pressed me to keep a weapon on me at all times even if was just a bottle of mace. He told me he still had some of his officers out to search for the person who kidnapped me. I thanked him feverently. He played with Aaron for a while then he decided it was time for him to turn in. I kissed him good bye and let him out.

Before I could even go sit back down, the phone rang again. I sighed and trudged off towards the kitchen. I picked up the phone and placed it to my ear.

"Hello?" I asked, breathless.

"Bella?" I heard the fimilar voice ask, relieved.

No way! It was Renee.

"MOM?" I exclaimed.

"Oh, Bella, are you okay, honey? I heard what happened. If Charlie or Jacob didn't find you, Phil and I were gong to fly up there to come help find you. Oh, my god I was so worried. I thought I was going to lose my baby forever." She was sobbing now.

My eyes started to prickle when I heard the pain in her voice. "Mom, mom I'm fine now," I tried to soothe her." I'm not going anywhere, mom, I'm alright."

She sniffled, "Right, you're okay.I know but I miss you so much. Oh, I'm sorry you had to go through this."

I sighed. I wish she hadn't found out; I hate worrying Renee. "Everythings fine, mom. I'm safe with Jake now. Please don't worry yourself. I'm about to get some sleep my mom. I'll call you soon, promise."

"Okay, baby, I love you so much. Call me," She stressed.

"Love you, too and I will."

The line went dead, so I placed the phone back in the cradle. I walked out of the kitchen and back into the living room. I plopped down on the couch and laid my head back.

"Honey, what's wrong?" Jake asked after a long moment.

"I hate worrying Charlie and Renee and you and just...just everybody. If I wasn't some fragile human, maybe I could have protected myself, but no I'm this week mortal. This is my entire fault..."

I heard Jake growl next to me. I lifted my head up to see his expression; and he wasn't happy. He placed Aaron in between us and jumped to his feet. He grabbed my hand and pulled me up swiftly. I was frozen in place. Oh god, I think I just made him mad. He put both his giant hands on either side of my face and pulled my face close to his. His dark eyes bored into mines.

"Nothing, and I mean nothing is your fault, Bella. I don't know who did this to, but its their fault. Not yours. So I don't want you to ever think it's your fault." He hissed.

"What about my bad luck, Jake? And...and me being a weak human? That has a lot to do with this situation." I said, fiercely.

He scoffed. " You can't actually believe that stuff is real, Bella. Bad luck? Please, it's nosense. You didn't bring this on yourself." He said softly.

"But, if I was strong like you or The Cullens I could have defended myself pretty well. But I can't cause I'm just a weak human," I shouted.

I heard Aaron whimper lightly. I looked down at him and sighed. I slipped away from Jake's grip and went to go tend to my upset son. I picked him up from the couch and placed him on my lap. He laid his head on my chest and rested his tiny hand on my shoulder. I rubbed soothing circles on his back. Him seeing Jake and I fighting must have scared him.

"Look, Jake, I've been hunted by three vampires in my life and by an Italian band of vampires, so you can't tell me that that just happens to any regular person. To me, Jake, its luck and I don't have much of it." I whispered.

"It doesn't have to be luck, Bells. Maybe you were in the wrong place at the wrong time. Somethings aren't always going to be normal."

"So, your saying my life's like a game of Chance? No way, its luck. It was bad luck that I got hunted by James, Victoria, and Laurent."

"Yeah, but it was also good luck that the Cullens and the pack killed all of them. And your friend Alice is looking for the Volturi's arrival again. So, its good luck that you have so many people watching out for you," He said matter factly.

I sighed defeated. "Yeah I guess so."

He smiled and settled down next to me. He wrapped his arms around me and pulled me close. "Bella, to me your not some ordinary, weak human who can't defend herself. To me your an extraordinary, strong superhuman. You may not have physical strength but you have emotional strength. Don't ever think your something less."

My heart swelled ten fold at his sweet words. I leaned over and kissed him sweetly on the lips. "Thanks Jake. Now I know why I married you, but I am disappointed at one thing."

He turned his head towards me and pouted. "What is it?"

"I just thought if I left Edward and his vampire world, that I would be able to catch a break. I mean that's not the only reason I left him, its just I was hopeing I would be safer with you. But I guess somethings are set in motion, and then its too late."

He sighed. "I guess so.

"Hey when we will be able to get going?" I asked feeling really tired.

"We can go now. I'll just go get you and Aaron's things." He said.

He got off the couch and headed towards the stairs.

Jake was back in a flash with me and Aaron's things. He handed me his coat and hat so I could bundle him up. I slid his arms through his baby blue jacket and placed his hat on his head. Jake held out his hands so he could place Aaron in his carriage. As he got Aaron situated, I pulled on my gray sweater and placed my duffle bag on my shoulder. Jake must have been pretty swift, because he had Aaron in his carriage and his diaper bag over his shoulder.

"Ready to go, Bells?" he smiled down at me.

After Jake got Aaron situated in the car, we took off down the rode. It didn't take long before I saw the first little house on the reservation. He turned in the graveled driveway and cut the engine. I grabbed my duffle bag from between my legs, opened the door, and got out. A smile spread across my face instantly. I was finally home after my horrfic week alone. I walked up towards the house and waited on Jake to come open the door. Aaron ran behind Jake as he made his way up to the door. He pulled out his key and unlocked the door.

"Welcome home, Bells."

"Indeed." I smiled.

I followed Jake and Aaron into the house and towards our room. I dropped my bags off by the door and went to go sit on the bed while Jake took Aaron over towards his crib to get him changed. I was so estatic that I was finally back home with my family. It had been such a horrific week. My life had been so out of place for such a long time and now it felt right again. I sighed internally. It felt great to be home.

"Aaron, be still." I heard Jake growl from the other side of the room.

"Er, having some trouble Jake?" I asked.

"Yes." He grumbled.

I rolled my eyes and then got off the bed. I walked over towards Jake and saw that he was struggling with putting Aaron's night shirt on. I snacthed the shirt out of Jake's hands and pushed him aside. Aaron lifted his arms in the air as I pulled the shirt down his arms. I ran my hands through his hair to fix the stray hairs that stood up on his head. I turned towards Jake and shook my head at him.

"Was that really that hard to do?" I arched my eyebrow.

"Your a mother, it comes natural to you." He pouted.

I rolled my eyes. "Your ridiculous. I'm about to go wash up for bed. Do you think you can handle putting him to sleep?"

He stuck his tongue out at me. "Yes, I can."

"Okay, just checking."

I grabbed my duffle bag and walked out the room before he could even say anything else. I brushed my teeth, washed my face, and then pulled my hair up in a messy bun. I put on my holey tank top and my favorite sweats. I walked out the bathroom and back into the bedroom. Jake seemed to manage getting Aaron to bed okay because, I heard Aaron snoring away in his crib. I dropped my duffle bag at the door again and made my way to Jake's small, but cozy bed. I snuggled under the cozy covers and sighed contently. Jake appeared at my side before I could drift off into a some what peacful slumber.

"Goodnight Bells," He leaned down and kissed my forhead.

"Are you coming to bed?" I mummbled against the pillow.

He seemed to hesitate for a minute and then he answered. "Um...yeah later."

"O-okay." I said before I closed my eyes and let sleep claim me.

My dream started off the same as usual. I was running from whatever was trying to attack me. It felt like I had been running for days and days, almost like a never ending maze. But something different happened. Black figures started to come toward me in a swift motion as I ran forward. I reconigzned these figures. I could have made them out in a crowded room.

I stopped as they began to hedge closer to me. I didn't know what to do, or where to turn. They flashed closer and closer towards me. They finally clustered around me and began snarling loudly like a pack of angry lions. I took an invoulntary step back which was the stupidest thing I could have done. They crouched down and sprung forward towards me. I sprung up from the bed, sweat dripping down my forhead.

I felt two warm arms wrap around me and pull me back down on the bed. "Bella? Honey, are you okay?" Jake asked concerned.

I couldn't find my voice, because I was still trying to catch my breath. So I just nodded.

"Go back to sleep, Bella." He whispered. He pulled me agianst his chest and tightened his hold on my body.

I prayed to every god there was that I wouldn't have another horrific dream again, but what were the chances of that not happening?

No matter how close I was to Jake, it still didn't get the bad dreams away. The good thing was I didn't scream or cry. I just laid there, trying to catch my breath. I looked over at the alarm clock on the night stand and saw that it was almost past ten a.m. I moved Jake's arm from around my body and got up from the bed. I grabbed my tolietries and headed to the bathroom. I turned on the shower and immediatly got in. I was hoping the shower would help shake off my current dream.

This dream started out much like my others. Mr running, full speed, away from whatever was chasing me. But the scenery changed as I ran, morphing into daylight. I stopped dead in my tracks and looked around the now bright woods. At that pricse moment, a beautiful pale figure stepped out from behind the trees and stalked towards me, lethal and graceful. Once she was directly in front of me, she pierced me to the ground and sunk her teeth in my neck. That's when I woke up.

The water was starting to get cold, so I turned off the shower, got out, and wrapped a towel under my arms. I took my brush and raked it through my wet hair. I swept my hair up in a high ponytail. I grabbed my items and walked out the bathroom, back into Jake's room.

I looked in the closet for something decent to wear since Jake and I were going to go check out our new house today. The thought made me briefly forget about everything. My horrible dreams, my close call with death, and my worried family members. Beinging able to start off my life with Jake and Aaron in our own home was almost to good to pass up. A smile spread across my face which was kind of unsual for me at this time.

I continued to look for something decent to wear until I came across a light brown tank top, khaki pants, and a brown jacket to complete my outfit. I smoothed my hands over my clothes to get any wrinkles out. I peeked over at Aaron to make sure he was still asleep; I couldn't risk my son seeing me naked. I looked over at the clock and decided it was time for him to get up and get ready. I walked over towards him and rubbed the back of my hand across his cheek. Then I noticed somehting.

Aaron's hair had gotten longer and his body had gotten longer, slender somehow. I slid my hands under him and lifted him up. He wasn't as heavy as he was yestarday either. It never seized to amaze me how much he grows day by day. It almost makes me sad to see him grow up so fast. I sighed and walked out the room and into the bathroom. I sat down on the toliet seat and began to coax him awake.

"Aaron," I said. "Wake up, baby boy."

His eyes fluttered open at the sound of my voice. He smiled weakly and scrambled to sit up. I lifted him while he rubbed his tiny hand across his eyes. I would never get over the joy and happiness this bundle of joy brings me everyday.

"Morning sunshine." I smiled. "let's get you ready."

I washed his whole body up and even brushed his hair. He didn't like that very much though. I wrapped the towel around his body and lead him out of the bathroom and back into the bedroom. I sat him down on the bed while I went to go search for him to wear. For some odd reason, I wanted him to match me. It would be cute, I thought.

Luckily, I found a pair of khaki shorts and a brown collard shirt. I turned back to Aaron and began to put on his outfit. I smoothed his hair into a ponytail to complete his outfit. He was already to go.

"Ready to go eat no, sweetie?"

He whined and pointed to his tiny stomach.

I smiled and picked him up. I walked out the room and into the kitchen. I sat Aaron down at the table and pushed him up in the chair.

"Do you want juice and cheerios? Or some toast and jelly?" I asked him.

"Cheerios and Jwuice." He squealed.

I laughed. "I'd figure you'd say that."

The cheerios were already on the counter so all I had to do was get the bowl down. I poured a small amount into the bowl and walked it over to Aaron. I walked back into the small kitchen to pour his orange juice. I found his sippy cup and grabbed the juice out the fridge. I filled up the cup halfway and then gave it to Aaron.

"Fank you, Mama." he said sweetly.

"Awe your welcome, baby."

I smiled and then went back into the kitchen to make breakfast for me and Jake. I grabbed a carton of eggs out of the fridge and a bowl out the cabinet. I cracked about seven eggs into the bowl and put the rest back in the fridge. I stired the eggs good and then poured them into the hot skillet. They sizzled and popped as they cooked. I found a spatcula in the drawer and began stirring the eggs. Suddenly, I felt two warm hands slip around my waist. I jumped a foot in the air and turned around.

"Jake! you scared me half to death you jerk." I yelled as I swatted him on the arm with the spatcula.

He leaned down and kissed me on the lips once...twice... and a third time. " Sorry, baby. I didn't mean to scare you."

I stuck my tongue out at him. He leaned down and captured my lips with his. His hands roamed up and down my back, creating the most pleasurable friction. I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled him down closer. I was drowning in his kisses and I didn't want to be saved. The way his lips were warm and soft against mine almost made me forget my own name. All too soon, he pulled away. I groaned in frustration.

"I wasn't done kissing you." I growled.

"Well, Aaron's still in the room." He said, putting his forehead against mine.

"I know," sighed defeated.

He released me and went to go sit next to Aaron.

I went back to making our breakfast. It wasn't long until the eggs had finished cooking thoroughly. I placed the eggs on a plate and two pieces of butter toast on his plate. I walked over to him and sat the food down in front of him. He smiled up at me and dug in.

"Thanks, bells." He said after he was done eating.

He got up and dumped his plate in the sink.

"So are you ready to get going?" I asked looking at his plain black t-shirt and a pair of black jeans.

"Yeah I took a shower while you were cooking." He said.

I smiled. "Good. I can't wait to see the new house."

"Me niether." He winked at me.

I reached up and kissed his cheek before I walked out the kitchen and back into Jake's room to grab our things. I made sure everything was packed away in Aaron's diaper bag. I grabbed my Jaket and his and then walked out the room. I handed Jake Aaron's Jacket while I put mines on. We were all ready to go so we headed out to the car, and drove off to see our new home.

I started messing with the radio to find a good station. There wasn't really any good songs on; most of it was rap and talk shows. I turned off the radio, too frustrated to continue to look, and sat back in my seat. To pass time, I decided to look out of the window at all the houses we pass. It was a childish thing to do, but I didn't really have any options. I noticed almost immediatly that the houses began to get further and further apart. Their struture began to change from odinary to extordinary in a second. Is this where we're moving?

"Hey, Jake, where are we?" I asked, still marveling over the miraculous homes.

"This is where Sue lives, Old Antera Rd. Its kind of a historical landmark. No one was allowed to stay here but the chief, the members of the consouel, and their families. And since Harry was apart of the counsel Sue, Leah, and Seth got to stay here." He explained.

"But you're not apart of the counsel." I pointed out.

"No, but I am a werewolf and you and Aaron our my family." He smiled over at me. then he was serious again. "My dad could never afford to stay here, because of his diability. I visted the Clearwaters' every once in a while, but not much."

I nodded, unable to say anything to that. After a while of awkward silence I finally spoke up.

"So how much is the house?" I asked.

He perked right back up. "Six hundred and twenty-two dollars every six months. Don't worry I'll pay off every dollar, I promise."

"No, Jake, I'll help too." I shook my head.

He sighed. "We'll just talk about it later we're already at the house." He pointed to a big bricked house on the right side of the block.

My eyes nearly jumped out of my scokets. The house was about two stories high and had atleast six or seven rooms. Which was more than enough for Jake, Aaron, and I. The house was indeed historical. Everything about the house screamed old, but elegant. The windows were crafted with old, sliver broaders that looked like they belonged in a 1950s movie. Like I said old but elegant. I felt Jake nudge my shoulder lightly.

"Come on, Bells." Jake told me.

I nodded and got out the car. Jake and Aaron were aleady halfway towards the house now, so I sped walked to catch up with them. Jake twisted the door knob and the door swung open. I thought the outside of the house looked big, but the inside was huge. When we stepped in the house, the first thing we saw was the half empty living room. It was almost bigger than Billy's house! The hard wood floors were so shiney that I could see my reflection in them. I stepped down from the forge steps to get a better look at the living room.

"This is so beautiful." I gasped.

"Indeed."

Straight ahead of me was two passage ways, sperated by an off white wall. The one on the left was lite with light while the other one was dark. The living room was perfect for Aaron, he could run and play all he wanted. Though the hardwood floors would probably slow him down a bit. I saw another door on the right side of me.

"Jake, what's that door?" I asked, jerking my thumb to the right.

"Go and find out." He smiled.

I walked forward until I reached the tall wooden door. I twisted the door knob and walked in. To my surprise, it was a kitchen, a very big kitchen might I add. There was a long counter in front of me that seperated one side of the kitchen away from the other. The counter had a very marble looking structure to it. Above the counter was an empty rack, where I asumed the pots and pans went. I wouldn't be able to reach it though. In the left hand corner stood a round, marble like table with five chairs around it. It was perfect for Jake and I.

"Enjoying the house, Bella?" I heard a soft voice ask.

I spun around and saw a much changed Sue standing by a door on the left side of me. Another passage way to get to in and out of the kitchen I'm guessing. Sue looked different almost unrecgonziable. She looked like she had aged about ten years since I'd last seen her. Her usual coloful clothing was replaced by a very plain black and white ensemble. I see she still hasn't fully recovered from the death of her beloved husband, Harry.

"Sue, hi how are you?" I asked, smiling.

"I'm doing just fine, dear. How are you?" I didn't miss the double meaning in her words and I tried so hard not to think about it.

"Never better." I said honestly.

Her mouth turned up into an eye crinkling smile." Like what you see?" She asked looking around.

"Yes, I love it. The house seems roomy and comfrontable. Its a perfect place to raise a family." I babbled happily.

"Oh, so there will be more I hope." She laughed.

I glupped loudly." Not now, of course."

She laughed again. "I know, sweetie, I said the same thing when Harry and I got here. We had just had Leah and he was already complaining about having another one." She shook her head. "I swear he was pushy, but in less than a year, Seth arrived. It was one of the best days of my life."

I smiled at her heart warming story. I don't know though. Aaron was already a handful and another baby would most likely drag me down. But the thought wasn't compeletly uninviting. "That's so sweet. I bet you miss him don't you?"

She sighed and nodded. "Everyday, Bella, everyday. He's in my thoughts constantly and my dreams. I'll never forget him."

My head dropped to the floor. I felt sorry for even mentioning it. "I'm sorry, Sue."

Suddenly she chuckled. " Its okay. He told me not to be upset, but he's my life how can I not be? All I can do is keep my head up and remember all the good times we had."

I nodded and smiled. I never realized how strong sue was. "Thanks again for the house."

"No problem, but I got one thing for you." She reached down into her pants pocket and pulled out a shine object and handed it to me. "It's all yours, Bella."

"Thank you so much again."

"Well, I better get going. Still got some stuff to unpack at my new house. Jake's upstairs looking at the bedrooms. I'll be back to move the rest of the things out from the basement, see ya later, Bella." She waved and then exited the kitchen.

I stood there and tried to wrap my head around the fact that this house is mine. Wow! my very first house every. This is exciting! I squealed and then turned for the door. I walked back into the living room, still looking around at the amazing house, and made my way to the staircase when suddenly a white crumpled peice of paper on a round table under the stairs caught my eye. I picked up the paper and uncrumpled it, smoothing it out so it was more easier to read. I trained my eyes on the small print and began to read:

Dear Sue, Leah, and Seth

I don't have much time. I'm really ill and I won't be on this earth for long. I'll be taking the big dirt nap. Don't cry, don't be sad. I'll always be with you guys in mind and spirit. Leah, please don't give your mom a hard time. You'll be changing into something pretty scary, but don't be alarmed, Sam will help you out. Seth, my little Seth. In ways you've already grown up. You've already become a man. So I need you to look out for my girls. They're very very speacial to me and I don't wanna lose 'em. You'll also be turning into something scary, but you'll have the whole tribe to help you out. And you know Jacob will look out for you all the time. Sue, you and I have been together for 20 years and I can't believe we have to say goodbye. Where have the years gone? You are my life, my soul, my everything and I love you. Don't be sad. Don't cry. I love you Sue Elizabeth Clearwater. Take care of my heart, I left it with you.

Harry c.

P.s I love you guys & Tell Charlie and the pack I'll miss 'em

I held the note in my hand for a long moment, trying to grasp what I had just read. It really made me realize how strong Sue really was. Having to go through this with her two kids and no ones help. It most be really heart breaking to lose the one person in the world who made your heart beat erratically. Harry would be greatly missed by everyone in La push, but no one would miss harry like Sue does.

It was silent in the room as I stood there. No voice, no footsteps. Nothing. Just emptyness. Kind of like Sue's home and heart. It mad me jump a foot in the air when I heard a melodic voice say my name.

"Bella?"

I shoved Harry's goodbye paper back on the table and turned around. Leah and Wyatt wre at the front door smiling at me.

"Leah, Wyatt, how are you guys?" I asked, surprised to see her here.

"I'm great. What are you doing here?" She asked truley curious.

"Umm...Jake and I are going to move in soon." I said bitting my lip, not sure what her reaction would be.

She squealed- a reaction I wasn't really excepecting from her- and ran towards me. She wrapped her arms around my waist and gave me a light squeeze. "That's wonderful, Bells. Oh my gosh you and Jake are like a real family now."

"Thanks," I breathed when she finally let me go.

"So when will you move in?" She pressed.

"Soon, I think."

She clapped her hands together and squealed." Awesome. you must let me help decorate. This i so exciting."

I had no clue Leah was capable of so much ethusiam. It was almost like she was trying to distract me from noticing something. I hated jumping to conclusions, but it seemed nessaccary at the moment.

"Leah," I said, measuring her every play of emotion. "Is everything okay?"

Of course, sill." She laughed, but it seemed strained. "I'm just excited as all."

I nodded slowly, suspicously. "Okay. Im going to look at the rest of the house. I'll see you guys later."

"Bye, Bella." She waved.

I turned away from Leah and Wyatt and made my way up the long staircase.

The upstairs looked ever better than downtairs. There had to be atleast seven rooms in the yard long hallway. I had more than enough time to look around and observe the rooms, so I started with the first bedroom to my right. The door was wide open so I just peeked inside. The room was bigger than Jake's room and my old room put together. It had two large windows in it. One on the north side of the room and one on the eastside of the room. The room was a very light blue, almost the color of the sky; a sky blue. I guess this room belonged to seth. I turned and walked out the room. I knew right then that this room would be destined for Aaron.

To my left was a big bathroom, but not quite as big as the room I saw. The lights were bright enough for me to see ever little detail. The theme of the bathroom was pretty much centered around La Push and the tribe. These Quiluetes were real serious about "Tribe Pride". I didn't miss the little werewolves emborded in the wallpaper. Cute. I turned out the lights and exited the bathroom after I was finished looking.

The rest of the rooms were either for storage or another bathroom. But ther was one room that I hadn't checked out yet that really caught my eyes. The door was closed though and it had yellow caution tape across it. Hmm, that's weird. Was it still under construction or something. Since the tape wasn't really blocking the door I decided to try to open the door.

"Bella, don't go in there yet!" I heard Jake shout at me.

I jumped a foot in the air at his urgent tone. "Dammit Jacob Black, you scared the hell out of me."

"Sorry."

" Its okay. Why can't I go in the room yet?"

He bit down on his lower lip. " Its being remodeled. It will be finished by time we move in, promise."

I nodded slowly.

I was finished looking at the amazing bedrooms, so Jake and I went back down stairs to thank Sue. She was pleased that we enjoyed the house and so was Leah.

"I'm glas you guys like it, cause its all yours." She smilled.

"Thank you so much, Sue."

"My pleasure."

Aaron was laying in Leah's lap with his hand around her neck. She leaned down and kissed his forehead.

"So, what are you love birds doing for the rest of the day?" Sue asked.

I hadn't really thought about it until she metioned it. I did have a few Ideas in mind though. But I didn't know if Jake would agree or would he turn me down. Pssh, like Jake would turn down sex. Maybe since my sudden departure he could still be shaken up. Even though that would give him even more reasons to say yes.

"Well, I was thinking maybe Jake and I could have some alone time together." I told her. I looked up at Jake to see his expression. He didn't seem to oppose to the idea.

" That sounds very good." He purred seductively.

A shiver ran down my spin. "Well, someone as to watch Aaron."

"I'll do it, Bella, you know that." Leah rolled her eyes.

"Yeah I know, thanks. Ill see you guys later. Now Jake come on." I said grabbing his arm and pulling him towards the door and out the house. I heard them laugh behind us.

Once we were outside, I reached up and wrapped my arms around Jake's neck, pulling him into a passionate kiss. I heard a low moan escape his thoart which set my whole body on fire. He finally snaked his arms around my waist and pulled me closer. Suddenly, he pulled away all to soon.

"Bella, lets go before we get too carried away. I don't want to have to take you on the ground." he joked.

I whimpered and then pulled away. I he pulled towards the car and helped me in. He jogged around his side, got in and took off down the street. As we drove hime he continued to drive me crazy. He kept his warm hand on my thigh the whole way home. I guess he was as excited about being alone as I was because we made it to the house in record time. I unbuckled my seat belt and got out the car. Since he moved like a ghost these days, he was by my side in seconds. He pushed me up against the side of the car and started to assult my neck. I ran my hands up and down his sides. He pulled away and lead me into the house.

Now it was my turn to show him pleasure. I started to remove his jacket and his shirt. I kissed his neck, his chest and made it all the way down to his delightful abs.

"Oh, Bella." He moaned out load.

I got down on my knees and started to remove his belt and pants. I slid them down his legs skillfuly. This only left him in his boxers. His arousel was prutruding painfully against the fabric of the underwear. I wanted to so badly to just please him and release im from the uncomfrontable state. I licked my lips, pulled down his pants and took him in my mouth. He gripped my hair tightly as I bobbed my head back and forth. After a few more bobs, he released in my mouth. I swallowed it griddly. He pulled me back up to my feet and smashed my lips to his.

"Now, you're really going to get it now." he growled.

He lifted me over his shoulder , caveman style, and ran me into his room. I giggled. He threw me on his bed and started to remove my clothing. He lifted my shirt first and snacthed off my bra. Well, I won't be wearing the bra anymore. He kissed down my neck, in the middle of my breast and down my stomach. He pulled off my shorts and underwear and started kissing my inner thigh. I gripped his hair tightly as he made his way towards my aching center.

"Mmh, Jake, That feels good."

And with that said, he plunged his large fingers in my center. He pumped in and out, sending me over the edge numerous amounts of times. I cried out when he entered another finger in my aching center. After a few more pumps of his fingers I came. He let me get my breathing undercontroll before he started again. He kissed his way back up my body and rested on top of me, supporting all his weight on his forearms.

"Jake, I need you." I moaned.

"I need you, too."

With that, he postioned his memeber at my entrance and entered me. I cried out when he was full situated inside me. He started to move back and forth, hitting my senstive bundle. I gripped his hair tightly as his thrust got harder and faster. I pushed my hips up to meet his every thrust. He reached down between us and pinched my bundle of nerves. It sent me into a mind blowing orgasm, his followed shortly after. He rolled off my body and pulled me close to his side.

"Wow, that was amazing." I panted.

He nodded. "Time for round two."

I giggled and rolled on top of him.

Jake and I were both nearing our climax when we heard the front door open, revealing Charlie and Billy.

Jake gasped and haulted his movements " They're home."

"Shit." I muttered.

Jake moved off my body and began to scramble around the room to find his clothes, which he later notice were still in the living room.

"Jake?" We heard Billy call.

"Bella?" Charlie followed after.

I hopped out the bed and started throwing on my clothes. Once I was fully dressed I helped Jake find some clothes. He threw on a t-shirt and a pair of sweats.

"You stay here. Ill go stall them." he insisted.

I nodded.

He retreated out the bedroom door. I sighed. They picked a perfect time to cone home. That was really a close one.

"So, where's Bella, Jake?" I heard Charlie ask.

"She's asleep." he said quickly.

"Okay. Well, when she wakes up tell her to call me. I've got somthing to tell her."

"No problem." Jake said.

"Well, I better get going, Billy. I'll see ya later guys." Charlie said. Heard the front door open and close at Charlie's departure.

I could relax now and really get some sleep. I was warn out. I heard Jake step in the room and then curl up next to me.

"That was a close one." he sighed against my neck.

I laughed. "It was."

"Sleepy time." He yawned.

I smiled and then drifted to sleep.

Part 3: Jacob Black

I woke up a couple of hours later, but Bella stayed asleep. I got out the bed slowly and walked out the room. I called Leah on the house phone in the kitcehn, telling her to bring Aaron over. She told me she'd be here soon and then hung up. I decided to get some grub while I waited. I made turkey sandwhich with chips. I scarfed down the food quickly; I did work up quite an apitiete in the last few hours.

Leah arrived a couple mintues later with Aaron fast asleep in her arms. I took Aaron out her hands and went to go lay him on the couch.

"Hi, Jake, how goes it?" she smiled.

"It goes good."

I emptied my plate in the garbage can and began to wash it. She didnt say anything after awhile. For a second I thought she had left.

"Er, Jake, can I aske you somthing?" she said after a long minute of silence.

"Shoot."

"Would I make a good mom?" she asked quickly, the words coming out like one not six.

I dropped the plate I was washing in the dish water, surprised. "Umm, sure I guess."

She sighed relieved." Good. Cause I'm pregnant and before this baby comes, I wanted to know if I'd make a good mom."

I had no idea why she was asking me this and I had to admit it was really making me uncomfrontable. "Why didn't you ask, Bella? She's closer to you than I am."

She let out a gusty sighe. "Shew ould have been all hiper and happy for me, but I don't want that. Not yet atleast. I needed someone to be serious with me and that's you."

"Look Leah, your nice and all, but I don't know what to tell you." I explained. I never turned away from the sink. I was way too embrassed to face her.

"I know, I know."

"So, have you told Wyatt yet? You know about the pregancy thing." I stammered a bit.

"No, not yet. I'm afraid he'll say he's not ready for a baby. But I can't keep it from him for long. I'll start showing within weeks." she chuckled weekly.

"Oh," was my brillant response.

"Well, I better go. Tell Bella I said bye." She told me.

"See ya."

I heard the door open and close as she left. Wow! Leah's pregnant. I wonder how she'll tell the others. Or if she decide ever decides to. I finshed washing my dish a few seconds later. I dried my hands on a paper towel and then went to go sit down by Aaron. He was still fast asleep when Bella walked in moments later.

"Is he still asleep?" She whispered.

I nodded and put my index finger to my lips. She giggled quietly.

"I'm going to put him to bed." She walked over towards him, slid her arms under him, and lifted him up. She turned and disappeared out the room.

She was back moments later. She plopped down on the couch and cuddle up beside me.

"That was quick." I said.

"Mhm."

"Oh, yeah don't forget to call your dad." I reminded her.

"Crap. I forgot all about that." She groaned and lundged herself from the couch and headed to the kitchen. I followed after her.

She already had the phone up to her ear when I came in and leaned on the counter next to her.

"Hello." I heard Charlie say once her answered.

"Hey, dad, Jakr told me you had something to tell me."

She waited for his response.

"Now, Bella, I don't want you to get all worked up about this okay? Charlie cautioned.

She looked up at me, confused. I just shrugged. I had no better idea of what he was talking about than she did.

"Okay," She said slowly.

I heard Charlie let out a gusty sigh before he replied. "Edward called."

When I heard him say his name a violent tremor shot down my spine. I began to flames behind my eyes. Why was he calling Bella? She already told him to back the hell of. Hmph, guess he can't take a hint.

"Why?" Bella snarled.

We both waited for his response.

"Emmett and Rosalie just came back from Australia and Alice is throwing them a welcome home party. Alice wants you to come." His voice got lower. "She said you can bring Jake, too."

Bella's eyes never left my face. She seemed to be debating about somthing in her head. "Dad, I..."

It surprised when I heard Charlie's voice get louder. "Now, Bella, Edward isn't trying anything funny. Alice just wants to see you. You still love Alice right?"

"I didn't say he was going to try anything funny and yes, I still love Alice. I just don't think Jake wants to be around them."

"Okay, Bells, it's up to you. But give Alice a call. She misses you."

Bella and I both knew he wasn't just talking about Alice.

"Sure, sure."

I heard the phone go dead. No goodbye or I love you? Kind of rude don't you think? She placed the phone back in the cradle. With a loud huff, she stormed out the kitchen. She went to go sit in a chair by the table. She dropped her head on the table and covered her face with her arms.

"Bella, What's wrong?" I asked as I walked over towards the table.

"Nothing," She mummbled throug her arms.

I kneeled down beside her and grabbed the hand folded closets to me. " Bella, If you wanna go you can. I'm not going to hold you back from seeing your friends."

She lifted her head and smiled at me. "Really, I can go?"

I was baffled. Why does she think I won't let her go? "Of course. I'm not your dad. If you want to go somewhere, who am I to tell you you can't? I'm your husband Bells, not your warden, if you want to go somewhere or do something I'm not going to hold you back."

She leaned down and kissed my lips sweetly. "Awe, thanks Jake."

I winked at her. "No problem."

Bella called Alice and they stayed on the phone for hours. I just sat at the table and watched her chit chat away. Once they finally gave up their mile long conversation, she begged me to come with her to the Cullenn's place. I agreed cause I'm an idiot.

Bella and I went to bed around two o' clock that night. She couldn't contain her excitement long enoughg to sleep and I just wasn't tired yet.

The next morning, I was woken up by Billy's urgent call. When I finally mustard the energy to get out of bed, I made my way to the living room. He told me that Sam needed me to run patrol today. Apperantly, we're starting to run low on reliable werewolves these days. I told Billy to tell Bela where I was head and dashed out the house. The weather felt nice to day. It wasn't cold at all, very warm though. I threw off my boxers and phased. I ran into the woods behind my house to meet Sam.

"Hey, Jacob," Sam greeted me.

"Sup, Sam?"

"Seems as though we have a problem."

"What is it?" I wondered.

Sam slowed his pace so he was matching mine. He trot beside me as he talked. "Collin and Brady aren't fighting with us anymore. Hania and Pierce our some kind of pastifists and refuse to fight." he explained.

"So that only leaves us with seven people in the pack?" I guessd.

" 'Fraid so Jake."

We came to a stop by a wide spruce tree. He stood directly in front of me. "What are we going to do?"

"I have now idea. And plus we don't know how many were dealng with, so we can't really do anything yet."

"Great," I said sracastically.

"Don't worry, Jake we'll figure something out soon. Until then we just have to keep patrolling extra in the time being."

I huffed. "Well, I can't patrol next week."

"Why?"

I felt too ashamed to say it out loud, so I just replayed the conversation Bella and I had last night.

Sam staggered back like he had just been slapped. "Jake, you're visiting the Cullens'."

"Bella wanted me to go and I could say no to her..."

He nodded. "Pansy."

"Shut up." I laughed. "So why is Collin and Brady not fighting with us anymore?"

Sam chuckled. "Long story."

"I got forever."

He shruggedd his massive shoulder. "Collin's mom finally found out about his transformation and she doesn't want to risk him getting hurt. So, she calls Billy and tells him to tell me not to let him fight. Brenda is a good woman and she's sweet, so I agreed to leave him out.

"Of course he threw a hissy fit for like an hour, but I wasn't about to give in."

"And Brady?" I pressed.

"Got grounded for driving his dad's car into the mail box. He dented the car in like eight different places." Sam paused to laugh and show me a glimpse of Brady's dad's wrecked car.

"Poor kid." I shook my head.

"And that's not even the half of it. Poor Mrs. Bellview caught Brady fingering this sohphomore in his room. She all but had a heart attack. So he's on lock down for awhile."Sam laughed again and so did I.

"Crazy."

"Very."

Sam got up from the ground and began to trot pass me. "Well, I better get going. Emily's waiting for me at home."

I made a terrible catcall.

"Shut up, Dude."

I laughed. "See ya sam."

He nodded and sprinted towards the deep woods.

I ran back to my house, dying to get back in bed. Poor Brady. Here I thought he was a good, quiet kid, but it turnes out he's a little player. Sounds a little bit like me. I got busted for the same thing when I was his age. Billy almost threw me out the house.

And I really didn't blame Brenda for wanting to keep her only son out of this foolishness. I would do the same if it were Aaron getting put in danger. And plus he wsa way to young to face mature vampires. Our numbers were dewedling and we needed help quick. But from who? I sighed and continued to run towards home. I would think of it when I had enough sleep.

Right now I had to focus on keeping them away from my Bella."

The end! hope you enjoyed it! REVIEW PLZZZ... till next time peace! 3
