EPOV

I started sliding my hand down her stomach until I found the hem of her shirt, she shuddered when I ran my fingers across her exposed stomach. Just this small act had me wanting to rip the infernal thing out of my way. However, I was stopped by a scent approaching the house; all I could think was "Damn mutt!"

"Bella, wait, I need to take care of something. I am so sorry; we can pick this back up shortly." Very shortly!

"Edward, did I…push this too far?" Oh, don't hide that beautiful face from me. How could she think that?

"God no! I don't want to stop anymore then you do. It's just we have a visitor and he wants to speak with us." Why did the mutt have to show up now!

"Who?"

"Jacob Black is at the front door."

"Why is Jacob here? Charlie sent him to talk me into going home, right?"

"Yes, that is his intention; he was hoping to get through to you by sending Jacob." I didn't mention his back up plan.

I couldn't help but see as she sighed heavily clenching her eyes shut, she was definitely aggravated. What I did not tell Bella was that Jacob was hoping she would leave me for him instead.

"Edward, you won't leave me alone with him, right?" I hated seeing the worry lines on her forehead.

"Right, I go where you go. Bella, don't worry the family is already downstairs and no one will let him near you."

With our hands linked together, we descended the stairs to see Jacob on the porch. He

was about as thrilled to be here, as we were to have him here. Werewolves and Vampires do not get along at all, not even slightly. By the time Bella reached the door, the entire family, even Rose was in a protective stance.

"Hey Bella, long time no see. How have you been?"

"Good Jacob, nice to see you again, have you met my husband, Edward Cullen?" Yeah we've meet.

"Bella, can we talk alone?" Not going to happen mutt.

"I don't think so mutt!" Jasper was snarling.

"Hey man, I just want to talk to her."

"Don't worry Jasper, she's not going anywhere. Jacob, you can say anything you need to right here in front of the family."

"Bella, can we at least sit on the porch and just chat."

"Sure, but I'm warning you any conversation that involves me leaving my husband and going home to Charlie's is off limits." That's the only topic he wants to talk about.

"Oh, come on Bella! We have been summer buddies since we were babies; you know I won't hurt you."

"Bella, his job is to get you outside so the rest of them can do a grab and run." I pulled Bella in even closer to my side.

I wasn't taking any chances, and neither was anyone else. The snarls and growls must have been deafening to Bella because she covered her ears tightly with her hands. Finally, enough was enough.

"STOP! Jacob this is not something you want to interfere with, please leave." I seethed out. Bella just squeezed my hand tightly looking very nervous.

"Screw you bloodsucker! Or are you afraid I'll tell her your secret?" Okay now he has my wife panicked and that just will not do!

"She already knows, and you do realize if you tell Charlie, you will be breaking the treaty."

"Look just take whatever spell you have on her off and she can walk away with me. That way no one gets hurt here." You're the only one who's getting hurt here.

"Jacob, they're not witches or warlocks, there is no spell, I'm not going back to live like that, so forget it." I could see the tears welling up in her eyes. Okay, now I'm pissed!

"Edward… don't let them take me… back to him. Pleeeaassee." Bella cried out.

"Bella look at me…relax baby…your safe. Do not let him scare you, you're not going anywhere. This is your home now." You could see by the look on her face she was petrified.

"Jacob, you are going to lose if you keep pissing me off! Leave my wife alone now!"

"Edward take Bella back upstairs, we'll handle this." Emmett looked as happy as I did.

I felt like a little kid clinging on to her mom for dear life. I just wanted to hear it would be all right. Watching Edward protect me made me feel like it would be, but it also scared me. What if he wasn't always there? I think he would always be there for me. I could hear them as Edward and I walked upstairs, they definitely didn't want Jacob here and honestly neither did I.

"Edward, what exactly did Charlie tell Jacob to get him to come here?"

"He basically said…we were keeping you against your will and that you wanted to come home, but we wouldn't allow you to leave. He blames me for everything." Why?

"Is Jacob still here?" I wonder if telling him would help.

"No, but he's not far and he has…friends with him. They are still planning to grab and run with you, they think you want to go home." I wish his chuckle was a happy one.

"What if we explain everything he did, do you think he would leave us alone?" I couldn't help but hope.

"I doubt it…he has them convinced that they are protecting you." So much for hope!

"Edward, what treaty?" He winced when I asked.

"It's a treaty between the wolves and our family."

We spent the next hour going over the treaty and the pack. It was really scary having a bunch of wolves out to drag me back to the man who would like nothing more then beat me to a pulp. I wanted to be held so much at that moment, but would he still want to hold me? He may not be able to read my mind, but he always seems to know what I need and when I need it. Just as I finished that thought, he wrapped his arms securely around me and held me in the most loving embrace. Feeling him so close, smelling his unbelievable scent just made me feel at home, my home. When he led me back to bed, I didn't resist, I wanted to go to sleep and forget about this horrible day. I didn't think my week could get any worse, but yeah it did. The following day wasn't any better.

JPOV

I'm tired of always being on edge and this week has been the worst. With six other cranky vampires, one scared human and six aggressive wolves hanging around our house, it was physically killing me. I even felt bad about going hunting, but I have learned my lesson when it comes to Bella, I don't take any risks. Unfortunately, things always go wrong when you're trying to do the right things.

"I'm going hunting guys, I'll be back later."

"Wait up, I could use a break, man those dogs are seriously getting under my skin."

"Hurry up Emmett."

I really didn't think when we left that there would be anything to worry about; damn it was two o'clock in the morning. After three hours of hunting, we headed back towards the house. We were only a mile from home when we caught the scents of the wolves and they were close. Taking on six wolves by ourselves wouldn't be a good idea, so we double-timed it towards the house. We never saw it coming, when they all sprang at us at once. Emmett fell first, three wolves pinning him by the throat to the ground. I wasn't far behind him, I found myself pinned to a tree in the same position. I knew enough to know, we couldn't count on help coming anytime soon, Alice would never see this. When Sam phased back to his human form, we got a few of our questions answered.

"Hello Leeches, I think you have something that belongs to Charlie, and he would like it back. So let's play nice shall we. Why don't you call the rest of the bloodsuckers and arrange a swap, they get two for the price of one."

"She doesn't belong to Charlie, she is Edward's wife."

"Oh, see now that's where we disagree, I think you are just keeping her as a pet, and well, we don't like that idea. So shall we call the others and arrange a swap?"

"Hell no! Dude, that's not happening!"

"Sorry fella's, but I have to agree with my brother here, no deal…and if you kill us you can kiss the treaty good bye."

I wish Edward was here because once Sam phased, they weren't saying a word. I thought we were done for when the one holding my throat jerked me to the ground. Instead, they dragged us through the woods to an abandoned cabin. It would seem…we would be staying for a while.

APOV

"NO! NO! NO!" "JASPER!" Oh my god, where are they? Why can't I see them? Oh no, the wolves!

"Alice what's wrong? What did you see?"

"Carlisle, I can't see them, Jasper and Emmett, they're gone. I think it's the wolves."

"Calm down Alice! We will find them! Rosalie and Esme stay with Bella, Edward and Alice let's go!"

"Hell no! It's my husband, I am going too!"

"Someone has to stay with Bella!" I know Edward was only trying to protect her, and he was right.

"So Esme can, I am going and that's final!"

"If they come for her, Esme will be a sitting duck. No, Alice you stay and call if you see anything." Someone did have to stay in case they did come, so I conceded my defeat.

Bella was still sleeping upstairs so Esme and I paced the living room waiting for word on the mystery of what happened. They had only been gone five minutes before all hell broke loose in the house. The minute we heard the glass upstairs breaking, we knew they were here! It took a second to reach the third floor, but it was too late, Bella was already gone. I didn't really think before I sprung out the window in hopes of following her, it wasn't an easy task let me tell you. The scents of three mutts were masking Bella's scent, so I followed the three mutts. My pursuit was cut short by the treaty line to the reservation. Edward was not going to like this.

BPOV

"What the hell!" No! This can't be real!

"You are going home, so relax they won't hurt you anymore." Ooohhh Nooo!

"No! Let me go! They're not the ones hurting me! Now let go!"

"Your father misses you, he'll be very happy to see you." Like hell he does!

"You are not listening, it's Charlie who's is hurting me!"

"Bella you are confused, but don't worry we will get you the best deprogramming doctors out there." What? Are you serious?

"You're the one who is confused. Take me back now!"

"We are Bella, we're taking you back home." So not happening!

"No! You're not your taking me to Charlie!"

"Please…don't…he'll kill me." I sobbed out hoping they would see the truth, they didn't.

The minute we arrived at Billy's, I knew he was here, the hairs on the back of my neck stood on end. Where was Edward? Why wasn't he here? I knew he couldn't come here. They knew he couldn't come here. I can die happy if I know Edward is okay. So I stopped everything, struggling, feeling, I just disconnected and let my mind go black.

EmPOV

"Hey Jasper, why did they leave? Should we follow them?"

"No, if I were a betting man…I'd say this was diversion. We need to get home, now!"

We blew out of there as fast as we could move. When it came to strategy there was no one like Jasper, and if he said it, it was true. Just before we came back to where the wolves had grabbed us, we ran in to the others.

"Edward get back to Bella!" I never stopped to fill him in.

"Why what happened?" Edward turned on a dime and blew past us. Man can he move!

"It was a diversion! Get home!" Jasper wasn't letting up either.

We had family to protect and that most definitely included Bella. Carlisle had already called Esme, but she wasn't answering her cell. This was a bad sign, which only got worse when Edward's scream could be heard from the river. "BELLA!" crap they got her! I knew it before we even entered the house.

"Jasper, call Alice she took off after them." Gotta love speed dial.

"Alice, where are you? We're comin... don't move an inch!"

"She's at the border, they took Bella across the line and they know we couldn't follow her there." Jasper just confirmed our biggest fears.

"Edward, stay calm were gonna get her back."

"Carlisle, can you call your lawyer to see if we can call the reservation cops to go get her."

"Lets go, I'll call while we run."

Edward was losing his mind by the time we hit the line. It took all of us to physically retraining him to keep him from crossing the line. Man, it killed me not to let go of him, if it was Rose, I would've been long gone across that line.

"What's the plan? How do we get her back?" You could see the pain in Edward's face.

"The lawyers on the other line with the fed we know, he's trying to get the tribal police to go in after her."

"How long Carlisle?" Edward was desperate to say the least.

"At least an hour."

"That's too long! She could be dead by then!"

We paced the line for an hour before we got the call. The tribal police raided the Black house and found Bella, but there was a problem. She was on her way by ambulance to Forks Hospital. We were on our way before he even shut the phone. Edward was so far gone by the time he reached the hospital; we could barely get him to walk in at a human pace. The tribal police were waiting for us when we arrived, Jasper gave them all the proof they needed to prove Bella was married to Edward. He was let into her room with Carlisle before the rest of us. From his cries, it wasn't good. The look on Jasper's face said it all, they were in agony.
