For those of you who like my Bella… THANK YOU! I like to think of her as a more… happy go lucky person than the conflicted emo person.

I don't mind emo people but emo Bella is just egh… lol I like mine.

Chapter 11 dinner and relatives?

I drove to Bella's house where only Bella's truck was in the driveway.

Relief surged through me. I wanted this to be as good as it could end up.

I didn't bother knocking as I opened the door because she knew I was just down the road.

I could smell the food when I opened the door. It was mouth watering.

"Bella? We're here!"

"oh hey Harry! How you do you three want your steaks?" she asked carrying a towel in her hands.

"Medium." All three of us said at the same time causing Bella to laugh before walking back to the stove.

The smell was even better in the kitchen. I inhaled and closed my eyes.

"Bella this is Sirius and Remus. My godfathers." I said after opening my eyes. "guys this is Bella Swan. The only muggle female I can stand around here."

"Muggle?" Bella asked confused. I forgot that I hadn't told her anything other than the fact that I was a wizard.

"Non magical people." I answered with a smile.

"Oh gotcha." She said turning to stir something on the stovetop.

"Do you need any help?" I asked watching her do like eight things at once.

"Set the table?" she asked pointing to the stack of plates and silverware. "We're eating out back. The table is bigger out there, and I doubt Jacob will break it from meeting your 'parents'." She said laughing at the look on my face. "well I'm sure he could still break it but it wouldn't crumble at his touch at least like that one would." She said still laughing.

I carried the plates and the silverware to the back door. I saw a twelve-seater concrete picnic table. Jacob would turn it to ruble… I thought wryly.

After the table was set I went back inside to find Jacob Billy and Charlie opening the front door. I rushed over to help them. Jacob gave me a confused look before wheeling Billy out back.

Charlie smiled. "Bella told me to keep it a secret for as long as possible." He whispered. I knew Jacob could still hear him and was itching to find out why the house smelled like other people to him. I chuckled as I walked back to the kitchen where Sirius and Remus were sitting at the kitchen table.

"Hey Bells. It smells great!" Charlie beamed as he kissed her on the head making Bella roll her eyes.

"Would you guys like a beer? I don't know what they have in England but this is as good as it gets around here…" Charlie said pulling out a couple of long necked beer bottles.

"Sure." Sirius said enthusiastically.

At that time Jacob entered the kitchen. The look on his face was beyond priceless. Half horror and half gleefulness.

"Jacob, this is my godfather's Sirius Black and Remus Lupin." I said barely containing my laughter.

"I'm going to take these to Billy." Charlie said smiling before disappearing.

"Sirius, Remus this is Jacob Black." I said smiling still.

Remus was the first to rise.

"Hello cub." He said with a serious look. "You are new to me. So if I snap or scare you in anyway let me know. I don't want to frighten Harry's wolf."

There it was again my wolf.

Sirius watched the exchange before smiling and stage whispering to me. "That's his way of approving."

"I take it that you were the one bitten then?" Jacob asked with a softer look in his eyes at Remus.

"Yes. When I was very young."

"Does your kind imprint?" Jacob asked in an even softer voice that I nearly missed it.

"Yes. Sirius is my imprinted." Remus said flashing a smile to Sirius and me. He added something in a low tone that I didn't catch as Bella shut the oven door with a loud crash.

"Yes." Jacob said looking down, and his russet skin turning redder.

I was curious. Remus Lupin had made Jacob blush! I hadn't even been able to. Not that I tried really but still…

About that time Charlie walked back in still smiling.

"Here dad, take these…" Bella said handing him her oven mitts and pointing to the beans.

Bella winked at me before following Charlie with a plate of cheese bread.

I was more than curious when Jacob looked at me with a new look, one that made Sirius bark in laughter before getting up and following Bella and Charlie out back with a few more beer bottles one hand and a few dr. peppers in the other.

Jacob simply blushed deeper before following Sirius with a platter with the steaks on it.

"Rem?" I asked as he smiled watching Jacob leave.

"Harry my cub. I was wrong forgive me."

"For what?"

"He is not dangerous to you." Remus said simply before grabbing the potatoes and walking to the back table.

Ok… now I'm defiantly confused…

I grabbed the corn and the green bean bowls before walking to the back.

I was going to get to the bottom of this if it was the last thing I did and I so hoped that it wouldn't be.

Billy was sitting at the end of the table with Charlie on his left and Jacob on his right. Bella was next to Charlie talking to Sirius who was next to her. Across from him was Remus making a plate. There was an empty seat between Jacob and Remus. I smiled. I couldn't help it. I sat between them after sitting the corn and green beans down.

Every few minutes I felt Jacob's knee come into a soft contact with mine. It made me blush slightly more each time he did it. But I couldn't help but smile and do a little happy dance inside my head.

Dinner was not very tense but Charlie kept glancing at my godfather's. it reminded me of Arthur when he met Hermione's parents for the first time. He was dying to know everything he could but something told me he wanted to just know about England and possibly why they allowed me to travel so far without them.

After we were finished we sat and talked for an hour or so.

I was glad when Charlie remembered a game came on tonight and that they were about to miss it.

He jumped up and wheeled Billy into the living room.

Bella broke out into laughter, I followed and soon Jacob joined in.

"Dad's got a slight obsession with sports." Bella explained to Sirius and Remus who were looking after Charlie with matching confused looks.

We fell into a more comfortable conversation. Bella wanted to know everything Remus and Sirius would tell her about the wizarding world.

Jacob had gotten up and was sitting behind me on the concrete ledge. He was quite, kind of eerie for him but I had a hankering that he wanted to watch us interact more than anything.

After a while Sirius turned to Jacob.

"So… you are a Black?" he asked almost hesitant.

"yes." Jacob replied more than likely wondering where this was going.

"Any relation to the Wizard family? The most Ancient and Noble House of Black?" Sirius said in a tone that reminded me of an older woman. Probably imitating his late mother.

"Not according to my father. I mean that would make you a wolf too but you only smell like an imprinted mate."

"hmm…" Sirius mumbled.

Jacob seemed to smile sadly before announcing "game's over. and dad's tired. I'll see you later Bells, Harry. And it was nice to meet you Remus, Sirius." He said hopping down from where he was sitting to hug me and Bella and shake Remus and Sirius' hands.

"we should be going too Bella. Thank you for dinner." I said hugging her. She blushed at the compliment before hugging me tightly- reminding me I needed to call Hermione.

For that scene where Jake tells Harry that he imprinted it is in the next chappie and here is the spoiler… ^.^ I'm so mean. Hehehe

"I didn't mean to I swear. It's not something I can control. I don't have a choice. There will be no one else for me…" he said turning away from me. "You have a choice." Jacob whispered softly into the wind as it blew by. He wasn't looking at me but at the could riddled sky. It smelt like rain to me. I wondered vaguely how long it had been that way for him. A new song came on in his garage.

"I don't want it." I answered fiercely. This was his way of giving me an unnecessary out. I wouldn't –couldn't take it. Jacob meant too much to me already for me to just throw it all away over nothing.

I was suddenly glad I had been strumming on my bass guitar to the radio for a few songs.

It turns out there was only two radio stations that worked in Forks. The old country and the new/old rock…

I could barely make out the first few soft guitar picks. I smiled, I knew it by heart.

I flicked my wand at the radio before picking up where the radio left off. I had been playing this song since the first time I heard it. I so wanted some one to play it for. Now I had the perfect person to have that chance.

"I memorized all the words for you…" I sang softly after a moment.

He turned to me so quickly even for his werewolf abilities I worried he had hurt something.
