A/N: After a much longer hiatus than I ever intended, I'm finally ready to continue this story.
Writer's block and real life have sort of stolen my inspiration but it's coming back to me and I promise to finish this. I also know this chapter is short but it came to this end naturally and the next chapter will be much longer.
"Come on let's go back in so I can finish dinner and we can all try to forget about this mess for a little while."
Embry stood first and held is hand out to help her up.
"Thanks bro." She grinned
"You're welcome sis." He chuckled
It didn't take long before everything was finished and the guys were pushing and shoving each other to get into the dining room.
Once they'd all settled down, they stared at the spread laid out before them, mouths watering and fingers twitching in anticipation, but they waited patiently as Sam dished up Bella's plate and it was only after she had taken her first bite, that they descend on the food like the wolves they were.
Despite everything that was going on with the pack as a whole and as individuals, this dinner gave them all a chance to laugh and have fun; and in those few hours the stress and responsibilities slipped away.
When everything had been devoured and the pack was mostly full, Bella suggested a bon fire and s'mores. Her hope was to make this night last for as long as possible; to prolong this bubble of happiness that she knew would disappear soon.
I've put up a new poll so be sure to check it out and vote.
