I woke up feeling strangely content and not wanting to open my eyes. Memories of last night washed over me and I opened my eyes startled to see if it was real. Embry was still asleep with his arms wrapped around me and we were facing each other. I was kind of hot but I ignored it and just stared at him. He looked so adorable in his sleep with a little drool coming out. I smiled at that. I traced the angular planes of his face with my finger and pondered on what was going to happen to us now. I knew there was no way I could go back to California and leave him. My place was wherever he was and since he had to stay here for the pack then so would I. I could even start a photography class at the La Push high school since I don't think they have one. I could still travel occasionally to take pictures but not as much as I did these past couple of years. I found myself wondering what our life together would be like and what our kids would look like. I was startled from my musings when I looked at Embry's face and realized his eyes were open.

I blushed and pulled my hand back put he held it in place and just stared at me.

"I'm going to do everything in my power to make sure your eyes are always this color," he said. I smiled.

"I love you," he said quietly. I leaned forward to kiss his lips softly.

"Te amo," I whispered. He smiled and my heart skipped a beat.

We lay there for the rest of the morning just talking. It felt so natural to be with him like this. I knew it would be uncomfortable to sleep without him but we decided to let our relationship progress without adding sex into the mixture. Well he decided that, I was ready and rearing to go. My hormones were on overdrive around him. He took me back to Rachel's and carried me inside feeling bad about my lack of shoes. I was totally fine with that. Rachel just raised an eyebrow at us and Paul laughed. Embry left me and went back home to shower and I did the same. Seth was over and was kind of upset now that Embry and I were together. He thought that I wouldn't need him anymore for my photo shoots and he had enjoyed himself.

"Of course we're still going out together. Besides Embry is too overprotective and he won't let me do any of the things you let me do," I said.

"What things?" Embry asked frowning at Seth and putting his arm around me. Seth gulped.

"I told Seth that he can still be my adventure partner. It's not really that much of an adventure with an overprotective wolf not letting me even walk by myself," I teased. Embry looked put out.

"So you don't want me to go with you anymore?" I sighed at both of their pitiful faces.

"Dios mio! I want both of you to go. How bout we switch days? Every other day I'll go with one of you. That way Seth, you can get some sleep in the mornings and Embry, I can actually get some work done without you hovering over me," I compromised.

"I guess," Embry said not looking very happy. "But Seth if I see a scratch on her I'm coming after you," he said giving him a deadly look.

"Embry stop threatening Seth," I chastised him. He didn't look very sorry but that was okay.

Since it was so late in the day I decided not to take pictures. I had already done so much over the past couple of weeks that I could afford a break. Embry decided to take me to meet the Cullens or the vampires. I tried to look enthusiastic but I couldn't help the apprehension I felt. I mean the last vampire I met tried to kill me. Embry said I had nothing to worry about so I trusted him. I decided for some reason that I wanted to look my best. Embry had told me about Esme Cullen who was more like a mother to him than his own and I wanted to make a good impression on her. I decided to forgo my cargo shorts and put on a pair of jeans along with some black sandals and a cut off shirt with a tank top underneath. I left my hair down like Embry liked and put a head band on to keep it out my face. I also put on some eyeliner and gloss. I sprayed myself with my favorite vanilla fragrance and made my way downstairs.

Embry was wearing a pair of jeans and a t-shirt and he looked delicious. He looked up at me and I thought I heard him growl but I'm not sure.

"Owww check you out. Hot mama!" Rachel said walking around me and looking me up and down. I smiled and rolled my eyes.

"I told you I own something other than cargos and combat boots," I said. She laughed.

"You look…amazing," Embry said his eyes roaming everywhere.

"You should see me in heels," I teased and he closed his eyes briefly.

"I plan on it," he said and I blushed. "Later Rach," I said and walked outside. Embry caught up to me and grabbed my hand and steered me to his truck. He insisted on helping me in so I let him. I liked to think that he couldn't keep his hands off of me.

"Nervous?" he asked as I pulled on a piece of my hair. I smiled and dropped it.

"A little. I mean it's not every day you meet vampires," I joked. He smiled.

"I promise you'll be fine. They're great people and I wouldn't take you to meet them if I thought they would hurt you," he said placing his hand on mine.

"I know." My confident tone belied my inner feelings. I was nervous and I had to twiddle my thumbs so that I wouldn't tug my hair and alert Embry. We pulled outside of this gorgeous mansion with glass walls. I mean you could see everything inside that house. I gawked in the driveway until Embry nudged me to the door. The door opened to reveal one of the most beautiful women I've ever seen. I felt gaudy next to her. She had dark hair and she was short, about my height with topaz colored eyes. She had on a knee length navy skirt with heels and a red blouse. Embry told me about them being…vegetarians. They only drank animal blood which is why their eyes weren't blood red like my vampire.

"Embry! Come in," she said smiling revealing a set of pearly whites. Embry smiled and put his hand on my back ushering me in. Too late to turn back now. I thought wryly.

"Esme this is Dionne. Dionne this is Esme Cullen," he said.

"Oh how wonderful to meet you," she gushed and wrapped her arms around me. The contrast between her and Embry startled me and I gasped. She was so cold!

"Oh I'm sorry dear," she said pulling back.

"It's okay," I said smiling.

"Come and meet the rest of the family," she said motioning her hand in front of me careful not to touch me again. I looked around and was again attacked with a feeling of insecurity. These people were eerily beautiful. All of them had pale skin and the same topaz colored eyes. I took comfort in Jake being there as he was slightly more human than the rest of them so I could kind of relate.


Oh my she's meeting the Cullens. I wonder how that's going to work out? Weiver please!
