The next day we went to our appointment at the florist, and on the way I called Angela to make sure we were still on for later that day. She said that her and Embry were already there and would be there when we were done at the florist.

The woman's name was Shawna, and she led us around to look at all the varieties of flowers to choose from. I needed a bouquet for myself, one for Angela, a single flower for Billy, Embry, Jake and Charlie to wear on their shirts, and a corsage for Renee. For the single flowers we chose a pinkish purple hibiscus flower, and for Renee's corsage we picked out a little cluster with the same hibiscus, along with miniature pink roses and babies breath.

For my bouquet, we picked out a combination of the hibiscus, the mini pink roses, some medium colored pink gerbera daisies and some small lilies scattered throughout. Angela's bouquet was similar to mine, just a little smaller. We set everything up and paid for our order, then headed over to the garage.

It was chilly out, so I had worn an old ratty sweatshirt and some tattered jeans. My hair was thrown into a messy pony tail and I made sure to wear my old sneakers. Jacob just wore some old sweat shorts and no shirt, as usual. I made him wear an old pair of sneakers in case he stepped on something sharp.

During the week, the hydraulic company had come out and installed six lifts, along with the other heavy equipment that was needed. All that was left to do was order a stockpile of parts, clean up all the debris, paint and get the office ready.

Angela was sweeping up a huge pile of dirt and other debris when we walked in. He hair was in a pony tail too, and her face was smudged with dirt. Embry was up on a ladder changing out the light bulbs on the ceiling, and he looked just as messy as Angela. His hair was sticking up all over and it looked like he got electrocuted. I just looked at him and started to laugh.

"Yeah, dingus over there forgot to shut the power down before messing around with the electrical. The charge knocked him across the room and into that wall over there" Angela said, pointing at a human shaped impression in the concrete.

"Way to go, jackass" Jacob said, laughing hard at his friend. I had to sit down because I was laughing so hard that I thought I was going to pass out.

"Oh whatever! Like you have never done anything stupid! Remember that time when we were at the tech school, and you forgot to shut the motor off before putting your hand near the cooling fan?" Embry growled, coming down from the ladder. Jacob just looked away, his cheeks tinged with red.

"Ok, you win, man. We are both morons sometimes. So, want to go help me hang the dry wall in the office while the girls finish up in here?" Jacob asked, still smiling at his friends idiocy. Embry nodded and the two of them went to go unload the sheets of drywall from the truck. I grabbed another broom, and before long, Angela and I had the floor all clean. We moved on to the windows, which were covered in a black, greasy film. By the time we were done, the guys had finished the drywall and were tearing out the ratty carpeting from the office.

We worked for several more hours before sitting down to take a rest. Jacob ran outside and brought in the cooler we had packed and handed us each a beer.

"So, I have something to tell you both" I quietly said. I noticed the glance Embry and Angela shared, and I knew what they were thinking.

"NO I'M NOT PREGANT! ARGH! I thought I might be but I took two tests and they came up negative, so I had Carlisle examine me today and he confirmed that I'm not." I said, feeling my frustration fading.

"So what is it then?" Angela asked.

"Why don't I show you? Embry, can you please stand up?" I asked. He got to hit feet, looking at me like I was crazy. I walked to the other end of the garage and turned to face him across the room.

"Ok, attack me, Em" I called.

"Wait, huh? I'm not going to attack you, Bella!" Embry said, going to sit back down.

"Trust me, Em, you gotta see this! Go ahead, charge at her" Jacob said, standing up next to Embry. He grumbled something under his breath, then charged at me. I took my defensive stance, and when he finally was close enough to me, I flexed my leg out and my foot connected with his chest, sending him a few feet backward. Angela jumped up and ran over to him, helping him off the floor.

"Holy shit, Bells. What the hell was that?" he asked, wheezing as he tried to catch his breath.

Jacob and I explained everything to them, and they kept staring at me in shock. They asked all kinds of questions, which I answered happily.

"This is unbelievable! Lets try it again, ok?" Embry said, once again getting up. I laughed and made my way across the room. He charged at me again, but this time I stepped out of the way, grabbing his arm and flipping him effortlessly to the ground. He got up and threw some punches, which I easily deflected.

"I cant believe this!" he said, hugging me. I just laughed at his excitement, then went to sit next to Angela and drink my beer. She looked a little worried, so I put my hand on her shoulder and gave it a squeeze.

"How did this happen, Bella?" she asked.

"Carlisle is looking into it, but he thinks my ancestors had the same abilities and it was passed to me and Elliot. He won't develop them until he's much older though." I explained.

I went on to tell her about what happened to the others like me, and she shuddered at the thought of the Volturi looking for me. I told her not to worry, that everyone was on high alert to make sure the evil vampires never found out, and I was getting some much needed training so I could defend myself.

We sat around talking about everything, and I showed them how I healed and how fast I was. Everyone was really excited, but I could tell that Angela felt a little left out of the superhero club.

"Hey Ang, Carlisle is working on isolating the genes responsible for all of this, and once he has it figured out, he's going to pass it on to anyone who wants to have the same strengths" I explained. This seemed to make her feel better and her face lit into her perfect grin.

We decided to call it a day, all of us filthy and exhausted from all the hard work. We all went to my house and ordered several extra large pizzas and sat around eating comfortably. Charlie and Renee weren't back from taking Elliot to the zoo, so I put a pizza in the fridge for when they got home.

I told Angela about the flowers, and she told me that she was going to see Alice the next day to be measured for the dress. My family got home at 8pm, said hello to all of us and went into the kitchen to eat. Jacob got up and put a movie in the DVD player, then sat back down on the couch. I laid down, resting my head in his lap as the opening credits came on. We all liked the movie Star Wars, so that's what we decided to watch. Angela curled up with Embry on the floor and we watched the movie together, laughing at the quotes we jokingly made and having a great time.

It was after eleven when they left, so Jacob and I went upstairs to each take a shower before going to bed. I was tired from all the hard work today, and as soon as Jacob came to bed we both fell fast asleep.

The following day was spent making arrangements for the party tents, and asking the Elders for permission to use First Beach as our wedding site. Jacob and I went to his house, because we had something we wanted to ask of Billy.

We walked into the house and Jacob yelled for his dad.

"I'm right here, son. I might be old but I'm not deaf!" Billy said, wheeling himself from the kitchen. We sat down on the couch and Billy got out of his wheel chair, sitting in the recliner.

"So, what's up you two?" he asked, smiling at us.

"Uh, Billy, Jake and I were wondering, since you're an elder, we were wondering if you would perform the ceremony? I would love nothing more than to have you marry us" I said, blushing slightly. Billy looked like I slapped him, his jaw hanging open and his eyes wide and shining with unshed tears.

"I would love to marry you kids! This is such a huge honor! Have you thought about what kind of ceremony you would like?" he asked, his voice breaking with emotion.

"Just something really simple dad, nothing really over the top." Jacob replied.

"Ok, I'll start working on it right away. Have you kids thought about your vows?" he asked. I looked at Jacob, giving him a sweet smile. I had an idea of what I wanted to say, but I still had to work some of it out.

"We are working on them, Billy. We should have them ready soon. Thank you so much for doing this for us." I said, getting up to hug him.

"Whoa, Bella, have you been eating your Wheaties? I swear I heard my spine crack" Billy laughed. I flushed once again, then went and sat back down next to Jacob, taking his hand into mine. We explained everything that had happened recently, and he quietly listened, a small smile on is face. Once we were done telling him, he just sat back, thinking.

"I remember hearing something, some Prophecy having to do with something like this. Let me see what I can dig up, ok? In the mean time, Jacob, I bet you're happy to have such an amazing fiancé!" Billy excitedly said.

"She's always been amazing, dad, but this just makes her even more incredible. I'm so lucky that the spirit of the Great Wolf gifted me with such a wonderful woman who I am so proud to have in my life" Jacob said, kissing the back of my hand.

"I love you" I whispered, kissing his hand in return.

"I love you too, pretty girl" he replied.

"Don't even start, you two! I'm just learning how to walk again, do you want me to have a heart attack next?" Billy asked, laughing at us.

"Whatever. You're such a drama queen, dad" Jacob said, getting to his feet. I rose to mine, knowing we would be leaving in a few minutes. I was so happy that Billy was going to marry us. Everything was turning out perfectly and I couldn't wait until our wedding day.

Jacob and I spent the rest of the day at the beach, playing in the water and laying on a blanket in the sand. We were going to work on the garage the next day, so we decided to spend some much needed alone time together. At the end of the day, we cooked a fast meal for everyone, then headed for our little cottage in the woods. I was excited to have the whole night alone with Jacob, and I felt my heart start to race in anticipation as we drove there. Jacob scooped me into his arms and carried me inside, kissing me the whole way.
