For some reason I cant reply to reviews on this stupid tablet I'm borrowing, so I promise I have read all of them and have taken the input to heart, and suggestions, thank you all for the wonderful reviews, and as soon as I get my laptop back, I'll reply to reviews.

Here it is chapter Ten…. And a little Paul and Bella action ….. though you all probably hate him as much as I do with this Paul I've written.

Chapter Ten Dealing

Bella rubbed her eyes tiredly as she poured herself a cup of tea, she was in for a very late night, or early morning as she looked at it.

She had just sent her eldest off to be with a pack of wolves.

Stirring her cup of tea, she bite her lip, looking through the emails her editor had sent her.

She could earn what she needed writing under two different names.

She would write a column under her name Bella Lahote that dealt with motherly issues that her readers write into her about and another under Charlie Swan that dealt with romance problems.

Rubbing at her eyes she raised from her chair, she had a horrible craving for pickles and ice cream.

Grabbing a jar of pickles she swiped it through the ice cream before popping it into her mouth, chewing it she savoured the taste of the pickle.

Hearing an awful bang followed by pounding feet Bella dropped the pickle jar and raced down the hallway seeing her son, she felt fear and panic grip her heart, watching his half naked form heave she couldn't control her fear that something had happened to the pack, something had happened to Paul "Jason" she hissed "what happened? Where are your clothes?"

"Mum" Jason started, turning around he shut the door and locked it "they want to take us away from you"

She wasn't sure what had hurt her more, the fact that someone wanted her babies or that her so called family were going to take them.

Bella draw in a sharp breath as she surveyed her son "the pack?"

Jason nodded "I heard Jacob thinking it, and then Embry told me, he said that you gotta get the Cullen's to use there magic to fix it"

She felt her heart hurt, did they think that low of her, she wasn't actually going to divorce Paul, in fact she was going to leave there marriage intact so that her boys could grow up on the Res, they mightn't attend the Res high school, but they still lived there, there family was still here.

Bella nodded, trying to push her fear away, guiding her son, to the lounge room, she moved the coffee table out of the way, she know by experience that a wolf can phase in this room in the house, it was big enough for Paul, so she know it was big enough for her small son

"if you need to phase, baby its ok, this room can handle it" Bella stated as she ran off to get her phone, picking up her mobile, she tried to stop her shaking as she turned on the radio, just in case some wolves were listening to her movements in the house.

Dialing Carlisle's number Bella waited patiently as it started to ring, she knew that as soon as this was finished she'd spend most of the night cry.

Her babies were all she had left, and nobody was taking them.

"Bella" Alice answered Carlisle's phone "why can I see your future? Normally it's all patchy"

Snorting slightly Bella stated "I need your help" walking into the door way she could see her eldest sitting on the couch his head in his hands.

"Anything" Alice breathed

"I need for my children to be legally all mine, Paul's trying to take them" she felt a sob build up "I can't lose my babies, there all I have"

"its ok Bella, Jasper and Carlisle are going to fix this, we will make sure that no Quileute can touch your children, you hear me Bella they aren't leaving you"

Bella nodded "thank you Alice, give the family my love"

"You squeeze those boys extra hard, from me and Rose"

Bella nodded "ok Alice"

"We love you Bella" Alice stated "we'll talk soon; I'll even have divorce papers drawn up, just act like nothing has happened"

Before Bella could say anything, Alice had hung up on her.

Sighing Bella turned the radio off, leaning against the sink, she looked out the window, she tried to stop her heart from pounding as she watched a figure in the trees, frowning as she saw Sam Jacob and Paul walk out of the trees, she wandered what they were doing here.

"Go to bed Jason" Bella stated, watching her son rise from the couch and head to his room.

Breathing deeply, Bella raised her chin walking out of her kitchen into the hallway, grabbing the panic button that Charlie had given her in case anything was wrong when she was out here on her own with her children, so that the police department was alerted to her whereabouts opening the door, making sure she closed it behind her, she went to meet them.

Standing on her porch she asked "and what do I owe this pleasure?"

Sam cleared his throat "we thought you should know that I have another son"

"At 4 in the morning?" Bella asked

"Yeah" Sam stated "after all your pack we thought you should be there celebrating with us"

"The boys are all asleep, as it is 4 in the morning" Bella stated coolly, she had a father for a cop, so she knew how and when to say something.

"Bella" Paul called

She hadn't looked at him, instead choosing to look at his two brothers, ignoring him she stared at Jacob.

"I wasn't even aware some of you knew where I lived, all thought sharing a mind might make it easier to see me." She snipped, making sure that Jacob looked up and into her face.

"Baby" Paul whined, his hand reaching out to touch her.

Slapping his hand away from her, she grimaced as she felt Paul's hurt the sharp burning pain in her soul. "You don't get to touch me; last I checked you want nothing to do with my boys, so you have nothing to do with me"

"There mine to" Paul whimpered as he looked at her, his eyes brimmed with tears.

Looking at him Bella noticed that Paul looked like crap; it had been three days since she had kicked him out, three days and he looked like he hadn't slept in a month.

Karma she thought he deserved this for the years he put her through

"No there not" She snapped "you said so yourself, many times that they weren't yours"

"Please Bella" Paul whined as he reached for her again "I love you"

Hearing those words made her heart hurt, of course he was going to say them, looking back to the house, she could see the twins looking out the window of the lounge room, she needed to be strong for her boys, if Paul wanted back in he had to earn it.

"Love isn't enough anymore" Bella stated, breathing in she felt a horrible tug in her stomach wincing she tried to stop the pain.

She knew now that the foetus was changing to its wolf form inside her, that every horrible pain, was it shifting, she wondered if it was tearing her up inside.

"Bella" Paul murmured, coming across to grab her "are you alright? Is the baby alright?"

Just feeling him wrap his arms around her caused the pain to ease that was gripping her heart, and her body to shiver in pleasure, but much to her dislike her head went light headed and she clutched him.

"I need to get her to the hospital"

Bella shook her head "Carlisle looks after all my pregnancies" she stated, trying to step out of Paul's arms she stated "I'm fine, I just feel a little light headed" pushing him away from her she stepped out of his arms "I'm meant to be resting" trying to steady herself, she braced her arm on the wall beside her.

Sam looked at Bella with something akin to concern, biting her lip she felt like shouting at him that it was none of his business, and to leave her the hell alone, instead she walked towards the house, she didn't get very far before she felt Paul pull on her wrist.

"please Bella, I" Paul sighed his eyes watering "please, will you let me know what's going on, I love you, and I want to make up for the years I was an arse"

Letting him pull her to him she stated "there is a lot of things you need to make up for" hugging him to her she whispered "but were not seventeen anymore, and you not only hurt me, but you hurt the boys, and when they needed there family, they weren't there because there so called family thought there mother was a whore, who found a way around the imprint" feeling the tears prick her eyes she whispered "I cant let you back in Paul, you've hurt me to much" squeezing him to her, she breathed in his scent.

She had to put her boys first.

Pulling away she felt the effects of the imprint try and pull her back towards Paul, walking up the remaining steps Bella opened the door and latched it behind her, sliding down it she gave her twins a watery smile, before hugging them to her.

So….. how's that?

I'm really loving this Bella and her brand new back bone
