Hey! Okay…Aoife Snape, this chapter is just for you!
(By the way…your review made perfect sense…and I took it into consideration this chapter)
This chapter is about the mystery visitor/s….The very un copy/paste point of view of Jacob's… ooh and we hear from well you'll figure it out!
Hey…So guess what! When we get to Carlisle's POV you need to imagine that he just got back from work…Cuz he just got back from work. ;)
Thanks for sticking with me!
(Not even going to complain about the reviews!)

When I woke up I couldn't help but groan.
I had work, and not only that afterwards I had to go shopping…
But at least Jake would be there!
I skipped downstairs and popped in some toast.
I drummed my fingers on the counter as I waited for it to come back out.
***
I woke up to a Spanish man advertising some sort of blow up bounce house.
I rolled out of bed and staggered out into the hallway and groped along the wall for the light switch.
I flipped it and stumbled into the restroom.
I quickly finished up and brushed my teeth.
I wobbled downstairs and saw a note on the table in the kitchen.
I picked it up and scanned it:
Jake,
I'll be home around 3:00 P.M.
There should be some sort of food to eat in the kitchen.
I know I suck for not being there to make some awesome food but, duty calls.
Don't forget when I get home we are going shopping!
Love ya,
Bella
I groaned and sat the note back down. I looked in the pantry and the only thing that stuck out was cereal.
"Last resort," I mumbled while opening her fridge.
I looked at the eggs but figured I could survive a day on cereal.
I ate a bowl and then flopped down on the couch.
I glanced at the clock and quickly did the math.
I had 5 hours until Bella would be home.
I sighed and sunk farther into the couch.
OooOooOoo
I had an hour before Bella would arrive.
Carli had called 3 times but I refused to answer the phone.
He said something about visitors and needing to talk soon, but I ignored it.
He should have her cell phone.
OooOooOoo
Bella wobbled through the door and nearly fell on her butt when she walked on the wood in the front of her door.
She came inside and, after slipping off her shoes, she flopped down next to me.
"What are we watching?" She asked.
"Marathon of SpongeBob…" I mumbled.
She giggled and disappeared.
I finished up watching the dumb show when Bella skipped back into the living room.
"Ready to go?" She asked.
I nodded and we headed out.
OooOooOoo
Bella had decided we would order out every night they stayed and she had me carrying the blow up beds.
"Oh, Bells, almost forgot, Carli called you like 5 times while you were at work," I said sitting the beds in the trunk of her truck.
"Really?" She asked, "I wonder why."
She mumbled while she drove us home.
When we pulled in I took notice to the: One, two, three, four, five, motorcycles in her driveway! No way!
Then there was the two cars parked there too.
"Who are all these people?" She asked.
I grinned and she said, "They're here already?"
I nodded and she said, "Whose cars?"
"Oh! That looks like Carlisle's car but what about the other one?" She asked.
I squinted at the car and sighed. "Seth came down too," I mumbled.
It's not like I hated the kid, just didn't like him…
***
I parked next to the car and once I was in the garage I took in the five motorcycles.
Um…okay?
I went inside and Edward was sitting on the couch surrounded by a bunch of tall Indian guys.
"Um? Friends of yours, Edward?" I asked, clearing my throat.
"Not exactly," He grumbled.
The tallest one came over and stuck his hand out, "Sam Uley, we stopped at your house hoping for some directions. Can you tell us where Bella Swan lives?"
"Can I ask why you need to speak to her?" I asked suspiciously.
"We're the repo men!" One of other guys shouted.
"Shut up, Paul. We're Bella's friends; um you might know Jacob Black?" He asked.
"Ah! Yes, I know who you are. Let me call Bella and—"I was cut off by the guys in the room.
Paul had another one in a head lock while the others hollered at him to stop.
"Um…guys?" I asked.
They looked up, stopping their actions.
"Please, uh, don't do that. I'll go call Bella, she should be home from work soon," I said.
I placed three calls and when there was no answer I decided to drive them over.
Edward wanted to stay at home so I left him to it.
They all boarded their motorcycles, except for one; he was the youngest by far. He got into a car…
We had only been waiting for a few minutes when Bella and Jacob pulled up.
Bella and Jacob exchanged words and then Bella got out of the car.
She raced over to us and hugged Sam while screaming, "Sam!"
Then she hugged Paul while screaming his name.
She went through the line, Embry, Quil, Jared, and then the youngest one Seth.
She ushered everyone inside and I followed behind her.
Once inside she said, "So I'm assuming you guys already met, Carlisle."
"Not really," Quil said.
"Well, guys, this is Carlisle, my boyfriend," She said.
She seemed nervous…I wondered why.
The biggest one, Paul, eyed me before scoffing and sitting on Bella's couch.
Embry eyed me for a second before nodding at me and sitting next to Paul.
Quil clapped me on the back and said, "Nice to meet ya," before sitting next to Embry.
Jared just sat down in the recliner, not even glancing at me.
Sam…he was the only one that stayed in our little circle.
Jacob walked in with bags from a camping store.
Paul glanced over and shouted, "Dibs on a bed!"
"Oh! Me too!" Embry shouted.
"Blow up bed!" Quil shouted.
"I guess I'll take a blow up bed too," Jared mumbled.
"Uh, actually, Embry, I already called the bed, so you don't get it," Sam said.
"No way! When did you do that?" Embry asked standing up.
"Right before Jared did, right Bella," He asked nudging her in the side.
She nodded but blushed.
"Liar! You know better than letting her back you up!" Embry exclaimed sitting down.
"Guys! The house isn't that big! Unless you have a really big storage compartment on your motorcycle with a bed in it, I only have 3 actual beds. Jake and I already took two so Paul gets the other one. I have three blow up beds and then the couch. You guys go ahead and fight over those. But Quil and Jared get the first two blow up beds. So Seth and Sam and Embry, you three will have to fight over that. I can get some blankets and make a bed I guess," She said.
"Actually, I can't stay down, I just wanted to say hi, someone has to watch the shop," Seth said.
"Ah, Seth, they have you running the store all by yourself?" Bella asked, her face softening.
"No! Leah is there!" Jake said defending himself.
Bella laughed and whispered something to Jake which made him crack up.
"No whispering!" Quil exclaimed.
"I get to whisper all I want, my house," Bella said.
"Dibs on the air mattress!" Sam suddenly exclaimed.
"No fair! I don't want to sleep on the couch!" Embry exclaimed.
My head started to hurt from all of the shouting so I slipped over to Bella and said, "I've got to get home, I have work in a few hours, I'll call you later."
I kissed her which she deepened which caused several throat clearings to happen.
Bella pulled away blushing and I smiled at her.
I got into my car and drove home.
When I walked in I expected to be able to just go to bed.
"Garrett called," Edward said as I made my way into the living room.
***
Quil started to make gagging noises as soon as Carlisle left the room.
I smacked him in the back of the head and said, "Keep it up, and I'll make you sleep on the couch."
"What! You can't do that!" He shouted.
I turned around and gave him my best, 'try-me-and-see-what-happens' death glare…He laughed at it.
"I'm starved!" Embry exclaimed standing up.
"M'kay, what will it be tonight, boys? Chinese, Mexican, or Pizza Hut?" I asked walking into the kitchen.
"Chinese! Pizza Hut!" I heard at least 4 of them yell.
"Okay, okay, Sam! What do you want?" I asked.
"Chinese!" He yelled after me.
I heard a chorus of groans and then a loud bang.
I rolled my eyes and said, "What do you want from the place, guys?"
I walked into the living room and saw Jake pulling Paul off of Sam.
I sighed and took a huge breath before shouting, "GUYS!"
They all stopped and I said, "Right, so Beef and Broccoli for me…What do you guys want?"
Paul laughed and then so did everyone else.
I sat the menu on the coffee table and sat the pen next to it.
"Just circle what you want, I have to go make a call," I said.
"Who are you going to call? Your boyfriend," Quil teased.
"Carli and Bella sittin' in a tree, F-U-C-K-I-N-G!" Paul and Embry sang.
I sighed and shook my head.
I knew they saw the goofy grin on my face though.
I went to my bedroom and called Emmett.
Ha, take that, I'm calling my brother not my boyfriend.
"Hello?" I heard Emmett say.
"Guess who is here!" I shouted.
"Who?" He asked.
"The La Push gang!" I shouted.
"Where are they staying?" He asked.
"My house! I'm so excited! And I know Paul would love to see his old wrestling partner," I exclaimed.
"Hmm I think I'll come down tomorrow then, what time is good?" He asked.
"Noon, if you want," I said.
"Okay, see you then, love you," He said.
"Love you too," I said to the dial tone.
I wonder what's with him…
I skipped back into the living room and snatched the menu up.
I glanced over the doodles of cars and motorcycles.
I placed our order and told the guys we had about 10 to 15 minutes of a wait.
"I think I have to head back after dinner, Bells," Seth said.
"Awe, really? Come on, one night wouldn't kill you," I said nudging him.
"Well Jake might if I left the store by itself," He said.
"I thought Leah was there?" I asked.
"She is, she's just not…the best with that kind of stuff," He said.
I nearly fell over with laughter.
He left me alone and wandered towards the hallway leading to the restroom.
I started laughing so hard tears were streaming down my face.
Jake came over and asked why I was laughing and I said, "He *gasp* said *gasp* Leah *gasp* didn't *gasp* know *gasp* anything *gasp* about *gasp* cars!"
I broke into more laughter and Jake laughed too.
"I *gasp* know!" I said through my fit of sobs.
I stopped giggling when I heard my phone ring.
I went over to it and flipped it open when I noticed the ID say Carli.
"Hello handsome," I said.
"Bella?" He asked.
"This is Bella," I said.
"Garrett called me, Bella, I have to go to Chicago tonight," He said.
"What? Why?" I asked, seriously.
"Elizabeth's mother, Mary, just died of cancer," He said.
"Really, Carlisle, that's truly horrible. Is Edward going with you?" I asked.
"No, he's staying here, he needs to stay in school, I was just wondering if you could just check on him every once in awhile, I'm going to be down there for awhile…so I just need you to check on him, please?" He asked.
"You know he can stay here, if he wants. It wouldn't be a hassle, trust me, he would just have someone to hang out with anyways. These guys here are nice and truly not that bad of an influence," I said.
"I wouldn't want to put you out or anything," He said.
"DAD GARRETT IS ON THE PHONE AGAIN!" I heard Edward yell.
"You go get that, call me before you leave, and I'll come over and get Edward tomorrow, there is no reason for him to stay there by himself while a close one just passed," I said in a finalized tone.
"Are you sure?" He asked.
"Yes, now go answer the call, you need to be supportive for Garrett," I said.
"I-I love you Bella," He stuttered.
"I love you too," I said.
We hung up and I shook myself.
I was instantly bombarded with memories of my mother's smiling face, her happy dances at my brother's football games, her singing, and her whistling while she cooked. Then her lying still in a hospital bed, the crying, her telling my father her pain, my father crying, Emmett crying, the screaming, the funeral, her still form in the casket.
I didn't realize I was crying until Embry wrapped his arms around me and said, "Hey, what happened?"
I shook my head into his chest and continued to cry.
It was too much.
I pulled myself together and said, "It-it's nothing, Carlisle's wife's mother just died of cancer, that's how she died too. I just, it's nothing."
"You sure?" He asked me.
I nodded and stood on my tip toes and kissed him on the cheek.
I walked back into the living room and said, "Who's going with?"
"I will!" Seth, Quil, and Embry shouted.
"Seth gets shot gun, everyone else sits in the back," I said.
"Ahh! Why, he's the youngest!" Quil cried.
"Because, Seth isn't spending the night, so there will be plenty of other times for you to ride shot gun," I said already heading to the car.
They all followed and Seth got into the passenger seat.
We drove over to the restaurant and I swear when we all walked in there were multiple gasps.
Many of the girls were ogling the guys and a few girls scoffed at me.
I giggled at them and when Embry and Quil leaned on the counter when we reached it I laughed at them too.
"Well aren't you in the laughing mood today?" Quil teased.
I giggled again and told the cashier my last name.
When she came back she was with two other friends.
They ogled the guys as we walked out.
"You guys just got thoroughly eye-raped in there," I said as I pulled out.
"Nuh uh," Quil said leaning up.
I nodded and Embry said, "Its cause of our awesome muscles."
I looked at him in the rear view mirror and noticed him flexing his arm.
I laughed and when we got home I expected to see the coffee table torn in half and a bowling ball in the TV.
There wasn't.
Good because if there were I would seriously have to ask them where they had gotten the bowling ball.
Do I own one?
Nope.
They dug in and of course left my dish alone.
"So I bought enough stuff to cover the first week of breakfast, so waffles or eggs tomorrow?" I asked as I stuffed a piece of broccoli into my mouth.
"Waffles!" They all cried.
"Waffles and bacon?" I asked.
"Yes!" They all said at the same time.
"Can you stop doing that creepy all at the same time thing?" I asked.
"Yes," They all laughed.
I rolled my eyes and when we were done I showed Paul his room.
I walked Seth to his car and gave him a huge hug and a very serious, "Be careful and call if you need anything," speech before he left.
They guys watched Step Brother's and then Jake and Paul went upstairs to bed.
I helped Quil, Jared, and Sam blow up their beds.
Then I got them blankets and pillows.
Finally I walked over to the couch and sat the blankets and pillows down on the couch.
Embry stood there and when I started to tug the coffee table he said, "What are you doing?"
"Moving the coffee table, why aren't you over here helping?" I asked.
He pulled his hands out of his pockets and helped me pull it out of the way.
I picked the blankets up and the pillows and shoved them in Embry's arms.
"Wait, what are you doing?" Embry asked again.
I took the cushions off the couch and pulled out the bed.
"Hey, when did that get there?" Embry asked.
"Always has been there," I said.
"Huh, I guess they got the short end of the stick," He said helping me make the bed.
"Yeah, I didn't know why everyone was getting their panties in a bunch about the couch," I said as I tucked the sheet back.
Quil, Jared, and Sam were already asleep in the sitting room so we were whispering.
"Bella, are you okay?" He asked.
"Yeah, I'm fine," I said looking up at him.
"Jake told me that you and your boyfriend met in the hospital," He said, "Why were you in the hospital, Bells?"
My stomach knotted and I looked down while blushing.
"It-it's not really important, Em, don't worry about it," I said.
"Did you fall out another window?" He asked.
I shook my head and said, softly, "You won't guess it, so please don't try."
"Did you fall off another motorcycle?" He asked.
I shook my head and he said, "Will you please tell me? I won't tell the others if you tell me."
I shook my head and felt my already red face get hotter.
"Will you please tell me?" He asked again.
I shook my head again and let the bleary wall of tears in my eyes flow.
"Good night, Em, see you in the morning," I said, surprised my voice didn't crack.
