DISCLAIMER: SM owns everything…I like to play with them!

AN: For those that were confused: Rose didn't change Bella. It's not possible since Bella had a family after the Cullen's left. She was apologizing for attacking like Jasper had in NM. If you recall the earlier chapters Bella tells Peter that Rose attacked and Edward left with the rest of the family. There was also a little confusion on Jacob. He is a descendent of Jacob from the books. Jacob had a son and the circle continued. Hope that clears some stuff up, hopefully this chapter has some stuff to clarify.

It's Saturday and I'm bored…so I'm updating a few hours early. Read the bottom AN. s

Last time on MUE:

"Where are you going?" Jasper asked.

"I'm going to follow her." Jasper started shaking his head. "I'll be alright, we have a…understanding."

"Bella fucking you does not mean you have an understanding." Rosalie said with anger.

"Yes, it does. Do you think she just fucks anyone?" I quipped not letting the blonde get to me. "She's the God of Destruction; I imagine she's quite picky." Alice gave me a look that showed her fear for me; I walked over to her and kissed her cheek, "I'll be okay. She won't hurt me…much." I smiled and took off after my demon goddess.

THE END

Following Bella's scent I started thinking about all the ways she can pleasantly hurt me. Giddiness took over my body at the wicked thoughts weeding through my mind.

Fortunately, for me Bella wasn't running at her full speed and I caught up with her quickly. "Peter, what are you doing? Shouldn't you stay with the Cullen's?" Excitement flowed through my body hearing her say my name; I've never felt anything like it.

"No. Technically I'm a nomad. I have no family or coven. Honestly, I only consider Jasper my brother after what we've been through together, how could I not?"

"You two fought with Maria for a long time, huh?" She inquired.

"Yeah, Jasper much longer than me though. Maria turned Jasper and Jasper turned me. Jasper would love to see Maria burn." I said forgetting that she had Maria's head eight feet underground.

"Really? Maybe I can give him a peace offering. He fought well and deserves respect." Chuckling at her statement she raised her eyebrow at me.

"Jasper said the same thing about you." She gave me a look that told me she was pleased, but still surprised.

The Cullen's home still looked abandoned. Apparently, Esme hasn't pulled herself together enough to start fixing the house. I knew once she sees it, she will need to fix it right away. Bella was mumbling something to herself about digging up Maria's head.

I didn't notice this earlier, but whenever we entered the backyard Bella was drawn to another spot in the yard. She's always been in this certain area in the backyard; it's directly across from where she buried Maria's head. I can't help but wonder what's so special about that area. Bella stopped and looked around.

"You seemed familiar with the wolf. How is it that you know him so well? It seems you've never met him before." Bella smiled a cheeky smile which confused me.

"Jealous?" Bella questioned cocking an eyebrow at me. It was such a sexy look that I wanted to lick her eyebrow. God, there's something wrong with me.

"At first, yes." I stated honestly; this took Bella by surprise and she starred at me with wide eyes. "However, as your conversation continued I realized there could be no romantic feelings between a vampire and a wolf." Bella laughed and shook her head.

"No, that wouldn't be possible. Plus he is to closely related to my Jacob." A growl escaped my throat at her endearment; she shook her head again and ignored me. "Looks like Jacob had another son. Only one from what I can tell of the gravestones; I could never think of his children in that way."

"Well, maybe we can see him again before you decide to leave." Strolling closer to the Cullen's house I didn't think anything of my statement until I saw her face.

"What do you mean 'we'?" God, how do I explain this to her.

"I told you I want to be your friend. If possible I want to be more than friends." Being a man I looked the goddess straight in the eye with every word. She snorted at me; that's it. No words, looks, or gestures; she snorted at me. I'm going to have to try to get this through her head as I open my mouth to speak she beats me to the punch.

"I'm surprised the Cullen's aren't here, not that I'm complaining I can use a little time to myself." A brilliant smile bloomed on my face-erasing my previous thoughts for the moment-knowing I read Bella correctly. "Although why they just won't leave I have no idea." She said mostly to herself, but I couldn't wipe that smile off my face. "What has you all smiley?" I shook my head, but didn't answer her direct question.

"Well, it's their home, is it not?" I asked hesitantly. She scoffed at me.

"Well, the Cullen's should be here in fifteen minutes or so." She went into the home and it sounded like she was collecting items, she was probably preparing to leave before they came back. When she exited the home she had a wallet in her hand. Planning on leaving was not a step in the right direction; as much as she hates the Cullen's right now I believe she needs closure with them. I don't expect her to become best friends and family with them again, but she needs to get some of this off her chest in order to move on with her existence. "Before they get here can I say something to you without you hitting, yelling or throwing me into a tree?" I asked cautiously. Bella nodded her head crossing her arms over her chest wallet still in hand.

"I want to be your friend. I know bits and pieces of what happened between you and the Cullen's, but I don't care about any of that. I want to get to know you and I know you want to relate to someone, how can you not?" Bella started stalking up to me sexually, swaying her hips seductively; alright apparently I'm not getting through to her.

Bella pushed her body up against me and even though this isn't what I was referring to I wasn't going to back away at the chance to feel those luscious breasts against my chest. Once her body was in contact with mine she dropped her wallet by our feet and brought her hands, dragging her nails against my stomach then across my chest until her hands buried themselves into my hair. For emphasis of her point she started purring that fake purr and that pissed me off.

I'm a gentleman at heart, but apparently I'm going to have to be a little rough with this one to get my point across. I grabbed her wrists and had her pushed up against a tree for a change and pushed my hips into hers creating a genuine groan from her; this sound satisfied me for the time being. The fake bullshit she does really pisses me off. "If you want to touch my body I'm not going to stop you; however, I want you to understand this isn't the only thing I want from you. Do you understand?" Bella nodded her head and licked my collarbone; I still don't think she gets it. I know what will get through to her.

"Also, I refuse to call you Lucy and I will be calling you Bella." I said with as much authority as I could. She glared at me and tried removing herself from my arms. "What's the matter, princess? You don't want to play anymore?" She growled at me and snapped her teeth at me. "That doesn't scare me princess, if anything it turns me on." I pressed my erection into her center and licked her neck. "Let me be your friend?" I asked in her ear releasing her hands and running my hands down her arms and stopped them on her sides by her breasts, my thumbs lightly grazing the side of her breasts.

Something broke through that hard head of hers and her hard mask fell. "I can't give you what you want even if I wanted too. I honestly wouldn't know how to be your friend. I know how to be a leader and a lover and not a very generous one at that."

"Let me help, let me teach you how to be there for someone again." Bella started shaking her head; I grabbed her face in my palms and stilled her movements, "Just listen to me. I can help guide you, but you would have to listen to me. Just because I say something that displeases you doesn't mean you have the right to push me away."

Our faces were inches apart and my breathing was coming quicker. "You're fighting with a lost cause." She said looking into my eyes, "There's nothing left in me to give."

"I think you're wrong." Bringing my thumb to her cheek I brushed my thumb across her cheekbone. "There is something there, I can see it. I want it." She huffed out a heavy breath and sighed. "I'm not going to leave even if you tell me too."

"Fine, it's your waste of time. You'll leave anyway." She said with a dead tone.

"I'm not going anywhere." I said adamantly, pushing my body even tighter to hers. Bella started shaking her head stopping the argument before it started.

"Don't be mad when I tell you 'I told you so'. Deal?" I nodded my head and went in for a kiss and she quickly dodged my lips and kissed where my pulse point should be, she started trailing her tongue to my ear. I was frustrated by her lack of kissing until she started running her tongue over my neck and ear. Her hand trailed around behind my body and pressed into my lower back urging me closer to her. With this action I was more alert and grinded my hips into hers earning a lustful growl.

We were brought out of our world by laughter and hissing. Jasper and Emmett seemed to be amused by our current position while Carlisle and Esme were trying to avoid eye contact with us. Alice and Rosalie had small smiles playing on their lips and Tanya was glaring at Bella. Edward looked jealous and enraged at our positions.

Bella and I detangled and the hard mask of 200 years alone went back up. Bella stared hard at the Cullen's and I may have gotten in over my head; this isn't going to be easy. The Cullen's seemed to be at a lost for their next move so I took it upon myself to direct everyone. But of course Bella beat me to it. After she finished eye balling everyone she picked up her wallet and started walking towards the house.

"What happened to the house? When we left we did not leave it in this condition." Esme wondered. All the Cullen's started shrugging and were picking up random debris, but it was Bella who spoke next.

"I was a very angry newborn." Without turning around Bella looked at the house and shrugged. She smiled a false smile and looked at Edward and Alice. "It's actually a good metaphor for how you left me, don't you think? Broken and damaged, alone for two hundred years and empty," she finished with fire in her eyes. She looked back toward the house and said, "It seems as though the house is cursed like a murder happened here and everybody abandoned it." I was stunned; I thought that when I first came upon the house with Bella. "You cursed me with your presence and then you killed me with your absence." Before Alice and Edward could respond to her she noticed Rosalie and Carlisle.

Rosalie and Carlisle started walking towards the front door and caused Bella to turn around and hot damn did she look livid. "Where do you think you're going?" Carlisle looked confused and Rosalie looked scared even though she was trying to cover it up.

"We are going to start inside our house." Bella's eyes flashed with rage.

"This is not your house. How can you claim to have something if you haven't been here in two hundred fucking years?" Bella was breathing heavier than necessary and I approached her with the intention of calming her down.

"Technically, Lucy we have been paying property taxes for this house and the deed is still under my name, which makes it my house." Bella couldn't doubt or argue with his logic and the fact that he was right made it difficult. Her fists were tight at her sides and she ran in front of them into the house. Everyone listened as we heard her throw things and bang things around. She came out with two backpacks in her hand and a scowl on her face; she walked over to her wallet still on the floor and picked it up. Apparently she dropped it when she started yelling at Rosalie and Carlisle; I could understand her side, though. This has probably been her safe haven when away from the fighting and now someone is coming in taking yet another thing away from her.

"Where are you going?" Edward was the first one in her way which pissed off Tanya and me.

"Don't know." She said without stopping, she went around him and started towards the garage. Edward, stop! He looked at me and was not pleased at my intrusion. At vampire speed I was side by side to Bella walking along with her.

"Don't go. You came here for a reason."

"Yes, I did. To see my son and now that I have I'm leaving." She said without looking at me. "Apparently, I can't stay here anymore!" She sounded very angry at this idea.

"You have nowhere to go. Please stay with me." I said trying to convince her to stay. "Remember what we talked about." Stifling my thoughts so Edward couldn't see them I pleaded with my eyes for her to stay.

This caught her attention and she glared at me hard. If I wasn't so determined to be with her I probably would have backed down. When she realized I wasn't budging she sighed a defeated sigh. "Fine! The basement is my room; it's been MY room for the last two hundred years. I don't want any of you down there, understood?" She demanded switching her furious gaze from me to Carlisle. Carlisle nodded and continued into the house.

Bella ran back into the house and went to her basement and stayed there for hours while the rest of us started working on the house. Everyone worked in silence and kept the pace a little above human. I think the Cullen's wanted to drag their time out with Bella. Not knowing when she was going to leave they were trying to cherish there time together no matter how negative it may be.

Everyone was doing their assigned duties and I was stuck with removing and chopping down the trees that were scattered and broken in the front and backyard. Listening for Bella I couldn't hear anything and decided to knock hoping that she didn't leave without my knowledge. "What?" Bella said still angry.

"I'm chopping some wood and clearing it for the fireplace and fire pit. I was hoping you'd help me." Trying to sound as casual as I could, she probably heard the desperation in my voice anyway. After several minutes she finally came towards the door and opened it. She moved passed me without a word and resumed chopping the wood I was working on. She continued to chop as I brought more and more wood for her.

When the sun raised the Cullen's went inside worried about being seen in the sunlight. Bella and I worked for another twenty minutes after they left when she stopped. "We should probably go in too." I nodded in agreement and we walked together towards the house.

"Thank you for helping me." She gave me the stink eye and turned away from me.

When we entered, the Cullen's were sitting around the fireplace looking expectantly at the door. Bella froze and hissed at all the attention directed towards her. The women averted their eyes, but the men kept locked on her form.

Carlisle, showing himself as the leader of their coven, stood and asked, "Lucy, please talk to us? We have so many questions for you. Please, give us a few minutes." Carlisle asked in a weird combination of authority, compassion and desperation. Bella sighed heavily and stared down the love seat that was obviously left open for her to sit in.

Bella threw her chin in the air and strode to the other side of the room and sat in a sofa chair. She was so small you could still fit two of her on the seat. I wanted to show her that I was on her side and only hers so I sat on the arm of the chair and crossed my arms in front of my chest. "I will only answer what I want." She stated coldly.

"That's all we ask for." Carlisle sat next to Esme. Tanya and Edward were sitting next to each other, Tanya's arm possessively on Edward's knee. Jasper was sitting next to Edward on the sofa while Alice was placed in between his legs sitting on the floor. Rosalie and Emmett were intertwined with one another on the sofa couch.

The fire was the only beautiful thing in the room besides Bella. Bella really did a number on this house. Even at vampire speed it was going to take months to put this place back together. All the windows were smashed; the walls had gaping holes in them. The kitchen that wasn't supposed to be visible for the living room was in tatters. The marble countertop had chunks missing and some of the chunks were lodged in the walls around the kitchen and in the backyard. The railings for the stairs were ripped apart and random stairs were smashed in. Bella was indeed an angry newborn; although I bet even in her fury she looked gorgeous, like an avenging angel.

"Okay. How about we start off by what happened to the house? We've left properties longer than this and I've never seen one in such horrible shape."

"Again, I say: I was an angry newborn." She replied again reluctantly.

"I woke up with anger than you couldn't comprehend and I didn't destroy everything in sight." Rosalie cut Carlisle off before he could speak. He gave her a stern look, but was again cut off by Bella.

"Bite my ass, Barbie." Rosalie looked disgusted at the thought.

"Please," was the best she could come up with?

Bella cocked her eyebrow at Rosalie, "You'd be so lucky, Barbie."

"Stop calling me that."

"Enough ladies." Carlisle said with a very pointed glance towards Rosalie. "Okay…how about you tell us what happened after we left?" Bella's eyes flashed with so many different emotions that I'm surprised Jasper wasn't clutching his chest. "Or what led to Anthony's demise? How you got involved with the wolves?"

"Stop! I get it Carlisle. You want to know everything, but you don't deserve to know a fucking thing. A vampire killed my son and me. The End!" Carlisle exhaled with exhaustion and pinched the bridge of his nose. I kind of felt bad for them, for that reason I would try.

"Bella? Give them a little something." She gave me an evil look and turned her head as silence fell around us.

"Why does he get to call you Bella?" Edward nearly shouted. Bella looked at me and shrugged her shoulders. "That's unacceptable; I don't want to call you Lucy. That's not your name!" Edward's intensity was making me uncomfortable.

"I don't give a flying fuck what you want, boy! That's been my name for the last two hundred years and that is what you will call me if you expect me to respond." Bella's tone was even and calm and sent chills through Tanya's body. Tanya gripped Edward tighter urging him not to go up against Bella.

That thought actually turned me on. She was so scared of Bella that she was trying to convince her mate not to argue with the God of Destruction. Edward was glaring at me and I shrugged my shoulders not really concerned what he heard or thought of me.

"Why does he get to call you Bella?" Edward tried again sounding calmer. Bella shrugged with an evil look in her eye.

"Good in bed…or tree, would be more appropriate." Edward huffed in disgust and looked murderous and Bella had an amused look falling over her features. Looking at Tanya, Bella addressed her directly, "Aren't you a succubus? How the hell did you end up with such a tight ass?" Bella was obviously trying to direct the attention away from her and avoid the questions that the Cullen's wanted to ask her. She was doing a damn good job of it until Alice chimed in.

"Please give me something?" Alice said in a small desperate voice leaning her head against Jasper's knee. Bella's eyes narrowed at the pixie.

"You were the other one I hated more than anybody else." Bella said with hatred dripping from her tone. She got the response she was looking for because Alice turned her head away from Bella's hate filled stare and pressed her face into Jasper's thigh and started dry sobbing.

"Bella, come on." I beseeched her with my eyes. In a daring gesture I placed my hand gently on her shoulder and she rolled her eyes at me. I motioned to Alice with my eyes and she looked at the sobbing figure.

"I'm not going to apologize. I didn't say anything I didn't mean." Bella crossed her arms in front of her chest in a defiant and defensive gesture.

"You really are going for the Queen Bitch Award, aren't you?" Rosalie questioned to sweetly while a fake smile spread over Bella's face with fake innocence in her eyes.

"As defending champion," Bella leaned forward, "are you nervous?" Rosalie huffed and looked out the window. "I don't know why you all care anyway. I'm a mature vampire it's not like I'm a newborn and need to be taken care of; you're not responsible for me."

"We care regardless of what you think!" Esme said out of nowhere with an unconditional passion that only a mother could express. Bella's lips tighten into a flat line. Squeezing Bella's shoulder caused her to look at me and this dead look took over her eyes.

"Fine. After Barbie tried to kill me," every Cullen flinched at this statement, "Edward broke up with me. As much as I dislike you right now," Bella said pointedly to Rosalie. "I never blamed you then. It was your nature and I knew the risks of being involved with your family." Her gaze was on the hard wood floors with a distant look in her eyes. "To say I was a mess is an understatement." She moved her dead gaze to Edward while speaking, "You killed me that day in the woods." Edward went to open his mouth, but Bella put her hand up to stop him. "You killed me. The Bella you knew died in the woods that day." Bella started shaking her head at a memory and laughed dryly. "You were always so worried about the monster killing me that you forgot the man could hurt me much worse. Death was welcomed compared to the state you left me in." Edward was staring at Bella intently, but pain was etched in every pore of his face. "At the time I didn't blame you. They say you can't help who you fall in love with and apparently you can't help it when you fall out of love with somebody." Bella shrugged her shoulders looking away from Edward into the fire. All the Cullen's shifted at this statement and I wondered why.

She continued to tell us how she became a zombie and didn't do anything for months. She tried to pretend for her father, but she wasn't fooling anyone. She told us about hearing his voice for the first time and how she started riding motorcycles and jumped off a cliff to hear his voice. At this point Edward had started crying at the absurdity of her stunts just to hear him.

Even though she hadn't begun to tell the love story between her and the Alpha we could all see what was developing between them while they were friends. "When Jacob saved me from drowning he drove me home and that was the first time he tried to kiss me. I wasn't ready though, but he wasn't convinced." Again Bella looked at Edward, "Just like you he didn't understand the depth of my feelings for you. Just because I was human doesn't mean I couldn't love deeply." Bella said with a little force. She closed her eyes and started breathing. "After graduation he wanted to do something special for me and that lead to him kissing me. I was so angry with him for doing that. He kept going on and on about how he knew I loved him and blah…blah…blah. He was persistent; I have to give him credit for that."

Alice was looking on with interest and a sorrow filled gaze, "You finally realized he was right?" Bella looked at Alice and her jaw tightened.

"Yes." Bella whispered. "I was so convinced that I couldn't love two people at the same time so I wrote my feelings off as friendly, even family oriented. Of course, Jacob was right and I was in love with him. On my 19th birthday I slept with him. I felt like I was betraying you, but you weren't there and I had to let you go. Sleeping with Jacob was the only way I could think of letting you go." Bella smiled a genuine smile and everyone in the room reacted to it and mimicked her smile. Then she started laughing hysterically.

"What are the chances to get pregnant the first time you have sex?" She raised her eyebrow at everyone. "With my luck, they were very high. Jacob used a condom and somehow one of those little fuckers got through." Her hysterical laughter was reduced to giggles and I loved the sound. "The day I found out I was pregnant I got a phone call from the Jacksonville Police about a fire at my mother's home. My mother and Phil were caught in a house fire and burned to death." Bella said this part with a fiery hatred laced under her tone.

Esme gasped, "Honey, I'm so sorry. We should have been here for you." Bella ignored her comment and kept going with her story. Rosalie finally showed some compassion and looked sullen. "Jacob and Charlie went with me to make funeral arrangements and everything. It was horrible, but Jacob was my anchor, he was my sun and got me through it."

"I waited to tell everyone I was pregnant. Jacob was angry that I waited so long, but he was pleasantly surprised and excited to have a kid. Charlie wasn't as understanding and was disappointed and all that jazz, but he eventually came around and started buying the kid stuff."

Bella continued to go on about moving in with Jacob and how their relationship grew closer, how Bella grew closer to the pack. Edward nearly leaped out of his seat when she mentioned a vampire named Victoria. I was confused so Bella took the time to explain to me that part, therefore I could understand Edward's reaction even though it was a little dramatic.

"What was it like? Being pregnant?" Rosalie asked in the softest voice to date. She reminded me of a child asking an angry parent if they could come out of their room. Bella explained the best she could to Rosalie and unshed venom shined in Rosalie's eyes. Emmett started whispering words of endearment and love in her ear.

"The day I went into labor Jacob was so comical. It was like a cartoon; it was funny as hell." Bella smiled a loving smile and my feelings strayed too jealously; I wanted to be the one to make her feel these things. I will show her that she is capable of these feelings again; I am a determined man with a mission.

"Everyone was called and all came running. I was the first woman in the pack to have a child and all the guys were interested to see how strong the kid would be and whatnot…they were thinking of things they shouldn't have been. I had Anthony Masen Black without Charlie there. I was told he was on his way, but nobody could get a hold of him." Edward cut Bella off at this point.

"Why that name? Why my name?" That piece of information made me uncomfortable; was it possible that she could still be in love with Edward?

"I was still in love with you. This way it was like I could keep a piece of you without thinking about you. If Jacob ever found out that was your name he would have been furious." My hand was still resting on her shoulder, selfishly of course. I didn't want to break contact with her, but I also wanted her to know I was here for her. Before she continued she actually leaned into my hand and an emotion I haven't felt in sixty years shot through me. I was falling in love with Bella. With every word I realized how strong she was and what she was capable of and I want to share everything with her. Of course, my realization was ruined by Edward glaring and growling at me.

Everyone was looking between Edward and me in confusion. Bella broke the silence, "Anyway, I gave birth to a healthy boy and we were all worried about Charlie so Billy and Jacob brought me and the baby home while the pack went looking for Charlie." Now Bella visibly leaned into my touch. "They found Charlie on the side of the road dead. It looked like some animal got to him and tore him to pieces."

Bella turned her head away from everyone and she tried to control the trembling in her voice as she continued to describe the funeral of her father and how weeks after his death pictures developed of her father and mother in their last moments. Both pictures had, 'a heart for a heart' since she was no longer mated.

Bella described the next two years of her life as if they were the best of her existence. These stories managed to cheer up the women; they stopped crying and started laughing and smiling at her stories of Anthony and Jacob. She told them everything from Anthony's first word to her future plans.

"The wolves still hadn't caught Victoria, but I felt so secure I never worried about her. Jacob, Anthony and I were on the beach playing in the surf when a howl ripped through the air. Jacob kissed Anthony on his forehead and gave me his signature passionate kiss. That was the last time he looked at me with love in his eyes. That was the last time I saw him with human eyes." Bella choked out the last sentence and without warning she ran out of the room.

AN: Sorry, I didn't get into detail about being pregnant because I've never been.

Okay…I'm going to attempt to do a prequel. Several people were interested so I'll try it. It will be titled: 'MUE Prequel: The Making Of Lucy' It will be up tonight or tomorrow.

Thanks! Make me giddy!
