**Bella POV**

Sam pulls up in front of my Aunt Rita's and parks, whoa wait a minute, I look up at him and ask, "Where do you think you're going?"

He smirks at me, "Are you embarrassed? I wouldn't expect that from you."

I scowl at him as I reply, "No, I'm not embarrassed but as far as I know Kimmie hasn't told them about her and Jared yet. Plus, wouldn't my aunt and uncle know that you're married?"

He rolls his eyes and says, "Christ Bella, I wouldn't shout them out, I know she hasn't told them yet. J complains about it all the time. As for them knowing I'm married, do you think I really care what other people think of me? I already have Charlie on my side, so I'm not particularly worried about what your Aunt and Uncle think."

I smirk a bit as I reply, "okay, but what are you going to tell them? I mean they knew about Paul but he just told them he was waiting for me to come around. Is that what you're going to say?"

His eyes darken and he snaps at me, "This is a good time to do this, really, great timing Bella. No I'm not going to tell them that, because I'm not waiting for you to come around, I'm not PAUL! You are mine baby girl, whether you know it or not! Whether you accept it or not! You were mine the moment our eyes met in the bar. Now you got two choices sweetheart you can accept it and be with me, or you can get out of my car and out of my life, because I've had about enough of women jerking me around and making me wait for them to figure out what THEY want."

He pauses and grips a handful of my hair not hard enough to hurt just enough so that he can look in my eyes as he says, "I want you Bella, more than I ever wanted my soon to be ex-wife, either you want me the same way or you don't. It's not difficult so what's it going to be? We either get out and we walk up that path together or you get out and walk up that path by yourself and you continue on by yourself. That's your call, all in or all out Bella, which is it?"

His eyes are dark and I can feel my heart skip before it starts racing in my chest, my palms are sweating and I feel myself starting to lose control as he puts me on the spot. I shake my head sharply. No! I'm not doing this! I'm not going to walk away from this without knowing where it could go, maybe that's stupid given the circumstances but I really feel like my dad might be right, maybe Sam is the right guy for me.

Taking a deep breath I meet his eyes and say, "Look, I'm sorry; I'm trying not to freak out here. I'm really trying to let you in Sam, I don't want to miss out on whatever this could be. If it's a choice between all in and all out, I'm all in. I'm not going to lose whatever crazy connection we have because I refused to let go of old shit. You're right, you're NOT Paul! As much as I love Paul as a person I never felt with him what I feel with you. I'm all in Sam. I'm yours if you really want me. I'm going to let you prove my fears right or wrong."

The smile that lights up his face is heart stopping and before I even know what's happening he grabs me and pulls me to him attacking my mouth as he grips my hair. I'm kissing him back like I'll never have another opportunity to kiss him again when all of a sudden, BANG! We spring apart at the loud banging on the window and look up to see Kim at the window with a shocked look on her face.

I open the door and she pulls me out squealing, "OHMYGOD! Bella! What were you gunna fuck him right on my front lawn?"

I smack her in the arm scolding her, "No! God Kim you have the worst timing in the world! Sam and I were just talking about our relationship if you must know."

Her jaw drops and she's looking at me like I've just sprouted a third eye as she says, "Wait, Bella! Did you just use the R word to describe what you have going with Sam?"

Sam clears his throat, "Bella is my girlfriend now, Kim. This isn't a casual thing for us, it's real."

Kim smirks as she turns to him and teases mockingly "Awww, Sammy loves Bella!"

She pauses a minute before asking him a bit sarcastically, "Do ya think maybe you're rushing into this Sam?"

Kim rushes on not giving him a chance to answer as she turns serious and continues, "I don't want to see her get hurt. Maybe you should take some time to be single or something."

Sam scowls at her as he replies in a soft voice tinged with anger, "Kim, do I interfere in your relationship with J?

She shakes her head and he continues his voice rising a little, "No, I don't! So why don't you take a cue from that, and mind your own fucking business for once!"

Kim looks upset and Sam tries to soften the blow a little, "I like you and everything Kim, and anyone who has seen you together knows that you're it for J, but damn you are a nosy chick."

She looks a bit pissed, as he turns serious, "I know that Bella is your family Kim, and I know what she's been through. I promise you that I have no intention of hurting her. She's it for me, Kim. I've never felt this way about anyone! What I felt for Emily, it pales in comparison. I know it's hard to understand but sometimes you meet that person and you just KNOW."

Kim gets red for a minute and I'm thinking she's gunna snap at him, but she takes a deep breath and replies calmly, "I understand, I'm sorry Sam, I trust you to be good to her."

Wow, I get it now, the respect that Sam commands in this world. Kim is already tied in because of J, so she has to treat him accordingly, how would she treat me? I would hope that it wouldn't change things between us; Kim has always been the more dominant one of the two of us, because she's older and has always been the boss.

Kim comes and hugs me whispering in my ear, "Bella baby are you sure? You don't have to do this with him if you don't want to."

I whisper back, "Kim it's okay, if I didn't want to, I wouldn't be. I have to let him prove me right or wrong Kim. Otherwise I could miss out on something that could be great. I don't want to look back and ask myself what if."

She nods as she pulls away and Sam comes over and takes my hand as we go into the house. Aunt Rita is sitting on the sofa knitting something and Uncle Ray is in his recliner watching the game. Aunt Rita looks up and says, "Hey Bella honey, how are you doing? We haven't seen you around…"

She cuts off as she finally notices Sam holding my hand. She looks at me confused and says, "umm, Bella honey, who's your friend?"

Sam steps forward and sticks his hand out as he says in a friendly easy tone, "Sorry, Sam Uley ma'am, Bella's boyfriend."

Aunt Rita's eyebrows shoot up practically hitting her hairline she's so shocked, she takes his hand briefly and says, "Uley? Wait, I thought both of the Uley boys were married…"

He clears his throat, "Actually, I'm separated from my wife, and we're getting a divorce."

Aunt Rita just says, "Oh" and goes back to her knitting.

Uncle Ray looks up and says, "Rita, you better tell Bella what you need to tell her before her and Kimmie disappear upstairs to gossip."

He breaks off and turns to Sam, "It's nice to meet you Sam, you must be special to Bella if she's calling you her boyfriend. You want a beer? "

Sam nods and he and my uncle go into the kitchen as Aunt Rita is pointedly avoiding my gaze. Uh oh, this can't be good, the only time Aunt Rita acts like this with me is when it has something to do with my mother. I roll my eyes as I ask her, "What's going on? Is Renee popping out another kid or something?"

She takes a deep breath before patting the couch beside her and saying, "Honey why don't you come sit down here a minute."

Oh boy, this must be worse than I thought, I go over and sit next to her and she takes my hand as she says, "Bella honey you know that Renee and I have not been close since she walked out on you and your dad 15 years ago. Well she called me this morning and told me that I had no choice in the matter anymore, and that she and her family were coming to see us."

Aunt Rita pauses and I feel sick to my stomach as she continues, "She wants me to tell you that you are not to be here for the duration of her visit. I want you to know that I told her to go to hell! I told her that I would not lie or cover up for her, that if you showed up I wouldn't back up her stories that you're my daughter, which is apparently what she's been telling her husband. He doesn't even know that she was married before! They're going to be here in two days honey, I just wanted you to know that this was not my choice. I'm sorry baby."

I stare at her and I feel my heart pounding in my chest, the blood rushing in my ears. Shaking my head as she puts her arms around me I pull away saying, "No, I'm fine! I'm fine Aunt Rita; honestly, she doesn't get to have any sort of power over me anymore! Her husband and her kids deserve to know what she really is though and I can guarantee you that I will be here at some point this week and all of this shit is going to come out in the open. I'm not that little girl who's heart she broke anymore! She isn't going to ruin my life anymore Aunt Ri, I won't let her make me feel like I'm not good enough for love. Sam is, I don't know how I can describe what I feel when I'm with him. It's like the whole world falls away."

Aunt Rita cuts in, "But Bella honey his wife…"

I cut her off, "Is not an issue Aunt Ri, hasn't been for a long time. Shit happens, sometimes marriages just don't work it wasn't his fault she was cheating on him."

She looks slightly uncomfortable as she replies, "Oh, I guess that's true, but he's the leader of that Club! I mean I know that Kimmie thinks her Dad and I are out of touch, but we know who she's going around with. I brought it up to your father, and he told me they're good guys but I don't know, and your uncle just wants to relive his glory days. He can't wait to have someone to talk bikes with. As long as they're good to you girls I'll stay out of it."

I nod impressed that she actually knows what's going on; Kim thought she had no clue. Kim comes back in and looks at me sympathetically as she says, "Bella I'm crashing with you this week, there's no way I want to be here when Aunt Bitch Face rolls into town. I can't believe the nerve of her!"

I smirk at her as I say, "Are you suuuure you're going to be at my house, Kimmie?"

She gasps and looks at me with anger and betrayal in her eyes and I giggle and tell her, "Jig's up Kim, Auntie knows. I swear I didn't tell her."

Kim looks at her mom and Aunt Rita says, "It's true honey, your dad and I have known about you and Jared for about a month now, and while I don't necessarily approve of him or Sam, as long as they treat you girls well you're both adults and can date whomever you want. The fact that your Uncle Charlie likes them, and put in a good word definitely helped, so you can thank him when you see him. Your dad is waiting for you to come clean. He wants to meet him and relive his glory days."

Kim visibly relaxes and grabs me and pulls me upstairs yelling behind her as she goes, "Thanks mom! Love you! I'll bring Jared by after Bitch Face's visit!"

She pulls me into her room and shoves me down on her bed before flopping down next to me and screaming, "TELL ME EVERYTHING BELLA!"

I laugh and I say, "Where do you want me to start?"

**Time skip Sam POV**

Sitting with Bella's Uncle Ray in his kitchen is kind of odd but it's been pretty fun, apparently Ray Connors used to ride when he was younger and we spent the couple of hours that Bella was upstairs with Kim talking about bikes and I tell him a bit about the club. He tells me that he knows about Kim and J and that while at first he was a bit uncomfortable with it that Kim hasn't ever been happier with anyone else and that as long as J treats her well and I treat Bella well that we'll all get along fine.

Apparently Bella's pathetic excuse for a mother is bringing her family to visit this week. Rita was telling Bella about it. I just hope that this doesn't push her walls back up. I know it didn't take long for me to knock them down as far as I was concerned, but this could potentially have her running away from everyone.

Bella and Kim come into the kitchen and I can see the tension in Bella's body right away, she smiles at Kim and tells her that she had a good time and that she'll call her tomorrow before turning to me and asking, "You ready to go Sam? Kimmie has a date with J."

I nod and she hugs her aunt and uncle before we head out the door. Getting into the truck I ask, "you need to go home?"

She sighs, "Yeah, I have to talk to Dad about what's going on. You're welcome to come though if you want."

Keeping my eyes on the road I tell her, "I actually have some club stuff I have to take care of in a few hours, I can give you a ride back though. Do you think you can come back tonight?"

I see her shake her head and start mentally preparing myself for a fight, she's starting to distance herself again, this shit with her fucking mother. At the same time though I can't even imagine what she's going through, to not have heard shit from your own mother in 10 years, only knowing you have siblings because another family member tells you that you do, knowing that your mother is raising those children when she wants nothing to do with you. That shit has to suck hardcore.

She takes a couple of deep breaths and asks, "Why are you angry at me?"

I glance at her and she looks confused and sad so I answer, "I'm not angry at you Bella, I'm just afraid that with this shit with your mom you're going to pull away from me and insist on going back to a more casual thing."

She laughs and I narrow my eyes at her as she replies, "Sam this shit with my mom is distracting it is, and I know you and I are still getting to know each other, but if you think I'm going to let that bitch ruin one more thing for me you are dead wrong and we have even farther to go than we think. If you really want me to come back tonight I will but I have to get up and be out the door by 6:30 tomorrow morning no arguments or distractions, Charlie has chemo in PA at 8:15"

Shit, of course I didn't think she had a plausible reason she couldn't come back, I just thought she was being stubborn and trying to pull away and hide from what was happening between us. Pulling up in front of the house I see Mrs. Tullis at her mailbox and I only hope that I'll get lucky and for once she will mind her fucking business.

I pull into the driveway and Bella gets out of the truck. I see Mrs. T do a double take and I know my luck just isn't any good today. I get out of the truck and she makes a beeline for me, her face is hard as she asks me, "Sam, why is that girl with you? Where is Emily?"

I roll my eyes and reply, "Mrs. T if you're looking for Emily just call her. She no longer lives here. By the way 'that girl' has a name, it's Bella and she's my girlfriend, do you need anything else?"

She looks shocked and angry as she replies, "What in the world are you thinking Sam Uley? You left sweet Emily for that little tramp! Even worse, she's white!"

I cut her off there, "You listen to me lady; your precious Emily has been cheating on me for the better part of a year, for all intents and purposes we have been divorced since last February! I'm only telling you this so that maybe you'll see that not everyone is as they appear, you are my neighbor Mrs. Tullis but you are not my family or my friend and I don't owe you any explanation for ANYTHING!"

I pause momentarily and fix the woman with a glare getting close up in her face as I say in a menacing tone of voice, "I'm only going to say this one time and I want you to listen really carefully; Stay OUT of my business. Do you get me? I'm not a nice person when I'm pissed off and lady you have been pissing me off for a very long time. I've tried to be patient, I've tried to be kind, but you know who the fuck I am and you will respect me and my privacy. If I see you poking around or watching me from your living room we are going to have a problem, if you don't believe me, just try me. Now do me a favor and get the fuck off my property!"

She just stares at me for a moment in shocked silence and then fear crosses her face and she runs back into her house. Bella comes over and wraps an arm around my waist as she says, "Think you'll have any more problems with her?"

I sigh as I wrap my arm around her shoulder and squeeze her close kissing the top of her head as I say, "God I fucking hope not, that old bitch has been in my fucking business one time too fucking many and I'm done playing Mr. Nice Guy. Look B, I got about 3 hours or so before I gotta go take care of some shit, I think we need to talk about some things."

She nods and I take her hand as we walk into the house. I pull a beer out of the fridge and hold it out to her, she shakes her head as she tells me, "No thanks, I'm kind of picky about my alcohol, I really only drink vodka and Malibu coconut rum."

I laugh a little and pop the top on the beer and take a gulp of it as she crosses the living room and sits cross-legged on the couch. I take my beer and sit down in my recliner facing her. I down half of it and take a deep breath, not sure how this is going to go but I'm hoping it works out.

I sit forward in my chair looking her straight in the eye as I tell her, "Bella there are going to be times when I have to make hard decisions. We're not a criminal organization, but we're not squeaky clean either; I sometimes have to do things that I don't like and that you might not like me for."

Bella gets up and walks over to me, I pull her onto my lap and she wraps her arm around my neck as she says, "Sam if I'm in this, I'm in it, all the way. You don't just get to call me your girlfriend and keep me in a little box telling me only the things you think will make me like you baby. I like you for you, 100 percent the good and the bad. The only way that this is going to work is if you are 100 percent honest with me, about everything."

She's running her hands through my hair as I sit there thinking about what she just said, I finish my beer and say, "Do you really feel that way? Honestly? How are you going to feel when I come home with blood on my clothes? When you have to wash that blood out of my clothes or burn them to get rid of the evidence? How are you going to feel when I hand you a stack of cash and tell you to hide it? Or I ask you to run interference or something else that isn't exactly this side of legal? How ok do you really think you're going to feel about that?"

Bella gets up and brings me in another beer, I crack it open and drink half of it in a couple of swallows. She just stands there in front of me as I look into her eyes and say, "I want you with everything that I am, but I need to know if you can handle that. Emily sure the fuck couldn't, first time I came home with blood on my clothes she cried for a month, and that wasn't even a club thing! That was a Tyler Blye is a pain in my fucking ass thing. After that she told me she was NOT my Old Lady, that she was my wife and she didn't want a damn thing to do with anything related or even remotely associated with outlaw life. I don't see myself as an outlaw Bella, yes the club has some shady dealings, yes sometimes I have to do things that I would not ordinarily want to do. That's life Baby-doll we all go there at sometime or other."

**Bella POV**

Listening as Sam basically tells me that he's not sure if I can handle a life with him I feel myself start to get pissed. I can understand him not being sure how I'd react to some of the things he just told me, but what pisses me off is that he's comparing me to his ex, that shit won't fly with me.

I take a breath trying to calm myself down and he opens his mouth and blows it out of the water, "Bella look if you're gunna act like Emily go get your stuff and I'll take you home."

Fuck THAT! I let the rage go and smack him in the face as I yell, "ARE YOU FUCKING KIDDING ME!"

He's staring at me in shock and I take advantage of his silence and continue, "I'll give you one thing you got fucking balls Sam. First of all lets get one thing clear, I'm NOT Emily, I got nothing in common with that whore so lets just be clear on that fact right fucking now. Don't you dare ever fucking sit there and tell me that you want me with one breath and compare me to your ex with the next."

I take a breath and he's still just staring at me slack jawed as I continue, "Second, if we're together I'm your girlfriend, your Old Lady, whatever you WANT me to be. I'll be as involved in your business as you want or don't want. I've seen things that aren't quite pretty, my best friend is a weed dealer, and my ex lover is your enforcer. What exactly do you think I can't handle?"

I pause a moment for emphasis before continuing on, "When you and Paul beat the crap out of that coke dealer who was dealing at LPH last year who the fuck do you think washed the blood out of his cut? That was me, not Rachel, not his mom, ME! Now if you want me, then want ME, don't try to lay the shadow of Emily overtop of me, don't fucking put her bullshit problems and her sins on me. I know more than you think about a lot of things and yet here I am still standing here in front of you willing to give you all of me. I carry mace and I carry a gun, there's not a lot I CAN'T handle!"

He's rubbing his jaw now as he looks at me I can see the emotions in his eyes, anger, guilt, fear, and a little bit of shame as he takes in everything I just told him. Sam reaches out and takes my hand the anger fading slightly but not going away as he says, "Okay, see babe now we're getting somewhere. As for this shit today, I'm gunna let you cracking me in the face slide this once, I won't ever lay hands on you Bella, give me the same courtesy okay? I know I deserved it and I'm sorry, you're right I can't tell you I want you and then put Emily's shit on you. I'm sorry baby you're all I want, that shit is for real."

He pauses for a minute and his face gets harder as he tells me, "Look, I know you're tough honestly I get it. Some things we've gotta get straight though Baby-Doll, you're feisty and you're a tough little bitch but being an Old Lady, sometimes it means doing what you're told to do, when you're told to do it."

I know he's right but what he's saying is still putting my back up but I listen as he continues, "You need to learn to take direction baby, that's for your own safety! I don't ever want to see you get hurt; that means I call the fucking shots and you do what the fuck I tell you to do, if I tell you to hide, you hide. If I tell you to run, you run. If I tell you to stay put you STAY fucking PUT. No matter where we are I will always treat you with the respect you deserve, but when it comes down to it you need to listen to me. Are we clear?"

I nod and tell him, "Yeah, we're clear, I'm sorry about hitting you Sam. I just got so pissed hearing you compare me to Emily. I need you to know that I'm NOT her, I ain't never gonna be her, I would never try to force you to choose between me and the Pack. The Pack is a part of you, I may as well try to force you to change your DNA. I've been around and I know what I'm getting into. I'm all in baby."

A/N: Sorry this took a while to get up! I really meant to have it up by Tuesday but my husband got me Rock Band 3 for Valentine's Day and I've been caught up with that lol. Leave some love!
