Chapter 11

"See, it wasn't your fault," Jake whispered to me as he kissed the top of my head. I cuddled up closer to him as we all waited for some news about Harry.

It had been a few hours of pure agony waiting to see what Harry's outcome would be. Finally a doctor dressed in green scrubs carrying a medical folder walked out looking around the waiting room.

"The family of Harry Clearwater?" he called out as Sue jumped to her feet along with Leah and Seth who stepped to her side.

"I'm Sue Clearwater, Harry is my husband," she said shakily. He walked over and motioned for her to take a seat as he sat down next to her. Sue turned waiting for the Doctor to tell her how Harry was doing as Leah sat next to her and Seth stooped down in front of his mother all looking at the Doctor, as we all were.

"Mrs. Clearwater, I'm Doctor Meraz. I've been treating your husband, and I'm afraid your husband has had a heart attack. Now it's not as bad as it could have been, and he's doing fine at the moment, he's stable and is being constantly watch to make sure he stays that way," he explained as Sue, Leah and Seth all let out a breath they had been holding waiting for word on Harry's condition.

"I see by his chart he has seen a physician for his condition, and that he has been explained too about taking care of himself and his diet. I can't implore enough how important it is that Mr. Clearwater watch what he eats and get enough exercise to keep his heart strong so this doesn't happen again," he continued.

"We would like to keep him overnight and monitor him to make sure his condition doesn't change. I'm also going to have the nutritionist come out and talk to you about Mr. Clearwater's diet and what he should or shouldn't be eating. Now I know in some cases and I'm not criticizing your way of life. It's just I've met many families that live on a fixed budget and find it hard to buy the right type of food to sustain their families. This dietitian specializes in just that sort of thing, she's very good at her job and I'd advise you listen to her…she can help."

"Thank you Doctor. We've tried to change our diet especially after finding out about my husband's condition. I'd be happy to meet this dietitian, I'm sure she will be helpful," Sue told him. He nodded.

"I'll send her to you. In the meantime if you'd like to sit with your husband that would be fine, and if not leave a number where you can be reached. It was nice meeting you Mrs. Clearwater," he said as he stood nodding his head to Leah and Seth.

"Thank you again Doctor," Sue said as the doctor turned and disappeared behind the emergency room door.

As soon as the doctor left the emergency doors opened again and another doctor walked out. I knew right away who it was, but I also knew he didn't know me, or at least I didn't think he did. He walked up to Sue and gave her a smile.

"Hello Mrs. Clearwater, I'm Doctor Cullen and I hear that Harry will be spending the night with us."

"You stay away from him Leech!" Paul roared. Sam stood up and put his hand on Paul's shoulder trying to calm him down.

"Paul, calm down…Now!" he ordered trying to keep the piece and not showing the humans what they truly were. All the wolves were on their feet and shaking, but were keeping their wits about them, including Paul, but only because Sam Alpha ordered him. Paul was the most volatile of the wolves. He was always ready for a fight, and he was probably like that due to his upbringing. Carlisle smiled and ignored the wolves as he looked back at Sue then continued to speak to her.

"Please don't worry we'll take good care of him for you," he said and I knew he was being completely honest with her, but he still made me a little nervous. As he turned he looked at me and smiled and nodded once in my direction. "Miss Swan," he said as he walked away. Jake growled softly and tightened his hold on me as we watched Carlisle disappear behind the doors. I let out a disappointing sigh and buried my face in Jake's chest.

It was then that a nurse came over and led Sue to Harry's room. Leah stood up worried about her mother.

"Mom, you want me to come with you?" Leah asked nervously. Sue turned to look at her daughter and smiled.

"No dear, take Seth home and try to get some rest. You've both been through enough tonight," she said as she followed the nurse.

"Embry, follow Sue and keep watch from the hall. I don't trust that bloodsucker," Sam ordered.

"Alright, Sam, I'm on it," Em said as he too disappeared behind the doubled doors.

Once we made sure Sue and Harry was safe we headed home with Sam telling us there will be a pack meeting in the morning at his place and he wanted me to attend. I nodded and we left the hospital.

I was still upset with the outcome of the night, but remembered Charlie's words and knew he was right. I had changed a lot of things and Harry was still alive. Because I had warned him about the upending heart attack he did take precautions and is probably why he was still alive. If he had been eating the way he should he probably wouldn't be here now. So my warning did help.

The next day we met at Sam's. After kissing Jake on the cheek I went immediately into the kitchen to help Emily cook breakfast. The first thing I smelled was her muffins, and as I walked into the kitchen she was pulling them out of the oven.

While I fried the bacon and sausage, Emily rolled out and cut the biscuits and placed them in the already heated oven just as Kim walked in and asked if she could help. We put her to work on cracking eggs into a bowl and as soon as the meat was finished frying we cooked the eggs.

Once breakfast was cooked and placed on the table, Emily, Kim and I made our plates and the guys dug in. Even if everything changed between the two worlds I've lived in the one thing I knew for sure would never change, that being the wolves, they would always stay the same at least with their appetites, they were always hungry.

After eating and cleaning up we made our way to the living room. The pack filled the house with their broad bodies and I wondered how they all fit, but they did sitting and filling up every inch of the living space. As for the ladies, we sat on our perspective mens lap as Sam began the meeting.

"Bella, I'm worried about the way Dr. Cullen said 'we will watch over him' at the hospital last night. Do you think he meant it in another way or was he being sincere?" I shrugged my shoulders as I answered his question.

"To tell the truth I don't really know. I mean in my last life I would say that he was being sincere, but in this one I can't really be sure. He sounded sincere, but…I have to say that I think you did the right thing by leaving Embry there to protect them just in case." Sam nodded and sighed and I could see his mind working.

"I thought he was being sincere too, but I had to keep my bases covered. I sent Quil to relieve Embry; he should be here soon. I don't think anything happened or Em would have called me if it had." I nodded my head in agreement.

"So everything you predicted has came true so far, including the incidence that you've warned us about, and due to your warnings they have been minimal, they could have been a lot worse. And I thank god for your insight. Now your predictions about the ones that would phase have come true including in the right order, can you tell me now that this is all that will shift?" I sighed and shook my head.

"I know of two more, but as I said before I'm not sure they will at this point. And if they do it won't be for a while."

"You speak of Brady and Colin?" I nodded.

"Yes, but as I told you I died before I found out what was coming and I really can't tell you if more than the twins phase at this point," I explained. Sam nodded his head.

"You've told me about certain things that happened in your last life and we know that because you've changed the outcome of certain events that they can still come into fruition, but will be changed in some way. We know this because of Harry and Emily and how it could have been worse. Do you think these chains of events will still come to light or do you think it will just dwindle away and we can continue on with our lives?" Sam asked.

"I don't know Sam. Fala said that with changing these events that they could disappear completely or move to another place and time. I just can't be sure. We'll just have to proceed cautiously and see what happens.

"Okay, I guess that's what we'll have to do for the time being," Sam said as he looked around the room at some of the confused wolves. So he explained.

"Look, I know that you all know what happened to Bella and most of why she was sent back or at least as much as she or I know anyway, and that is to change a wrong decision she made, and she has done that, but we still don't know why it was so important that she do this, and hopefully we'll learn that reason soon," Sam explained and then continued.

"What you guys don't know is what happened to her during her last life. Because she was intertwined with the Cullen's Bella has had many close calls with our enemy. What Bella is telling us is that her spirit guide informed her that because she hasn't been around the Cullen's in this life it is unknown if she will meet up with these fates again, hence changing her fate for the better if they do not."

Listening to Sam's explanation I realized that I had never thought of Fala being my spirit guide, but I guess she was wasn't she? I thought to myself as Sam continued.

"But because she has changed so many events in this life and if these bad events do happen, the events themselves could change to a different place and time. It is important that we keep a close eye on our borders. Bella explained that there will be a coven of three bloodsuckers passing through the area soon, the red eyed kind.

This is why it is of great importance we keep our borders well protected," he said as the wolves all agreed.

"There is more to this event, but you will learn more of it at a later time. Paul I want you to take Seth with you, you and he are on the next rotation. Teach him what he needs to know and make sure he learns the scents of the Cullen's so he will be able to tell if he picks up a scent that doesn't belong to one of them," Sam ordered.

"Will do boss. Come on pup you're going to learn from the best," Paul said causing the entire room to roll their eye and me to giggle. Sam assigned the rest of the patrols and then walked over to me.

"Bella, I want you to stay on the Reservation. I don't want you off our land for any reason, understood," he said. I nodded as he turned to Jake.

"You watch and make sure she stays put and when it's your turn to patrol, bring her here so Emily and I can keep a watchful eye on her," he continued.

"Right, Sam. Thanks," Jake told him as he hugged me tight against his chest. Sam nodded and pointed towards the door.

"Get out of here, take her for a walk or something, just make sure it's on the Rez. He said as he turned a pulled Emily into a hug burying his face into her hair causing her to giggle. Jake chuckled and pulled me out the door.

Jake and I walked for a while and wound up at the top of the cliffs where the guys go cliff diving. It was beautiful up here looking down on the ocean below us and as far as we could see. Jake turned me to him and kissed me passionately.

"I want to show you this place I love going to. I think you'll love it as much as I do," he said as he grasped my hand and led me into the woods. We had walked for some time until we heard some rustling deeper into the wood. Jake stopped and listened to see what was ahead and soon learned it was Paul and Seth running patrol. Paul ran behind one of the trees and phased back to human and walked out to greet us.

"What are you guys doing out here?" he asked while walking towards us.

"Just taking Bella for a walk, I thought you were supposed to be running patrol," Jake asked draping his arm over my shoulder.

"We are dick wad, I'm showing Seth how to ascertain the difference between the Cullen's odors," he said a little irritated.

"Shit, I hadn't noticed we were this far out. Sorry Bells we should head back," he said saluting to Paul, but as we turned to head back I heard a crack. At first I thought it was thunder, but as I listened closer I realized it wasn't thunder at all. I looked up at Jake and then to Paul, I know they saw the terror in my eyes.

"What is it sweetheart?" he asked as he pulled me close stroking my hair with his hands as Paul walked back over to us showing concern of his own.

"What's wrong with her?" Paul asked. Jake shook his head and looked down at me.

"Jake don't you hear that?" I asked softly but with panic in my voice. He and Paul pulled their heads up and listened as the crack came again. "Don't you hear that?" I asked them both again.

"Bells, it's just thunder," he said as Paul and he chuckled. I grabbed his shirt and jerked on it making him see I meant what I was about to say.

"Baseball, Jake. The Cullens are playing baseball. That's not thunder it them hitting a hard ball," I growled. Jake looked at me with a furrowed brow and then looked at Paul before grabbed my hand and almost pulled me in the direction of home.

"Paul, call for our brothers, I'm taking Bella home and then I'll join you," Jake said with a voice of authority. I heard the howl of a wolf knowing it was Paul calling for help.

It was then that I heard a whirling like noise, and just as I was going to ask Jake what that noise was I heard a crack and then a loud thud. I turned to see Seth lying on the ground.

"Jake!" I screamed turning back and running towards Seth. I sat on the ground and pulled his huge head in my lap. "What happened to him?" I asked just as Jake bent over a picked up the object that hit Seth off the ground. Jake turned toward Paul.

"Why are they playing baseball so close to the treaty line?" Jake asked confused. Paul shook his head not able to answer him in his wolf form.

"Come on Bells. I need to get you out of here," Jake said.

"I'm not leaving Seth until I know he's alright," I told Jake seriously as Seth phased back to his human form, still unconscious.

"He'll be fine, honey, he's a wolf," Jake replied with a chuckle.

Jake hearing another noise swung around to find Quil and Embry in wolf form.

They were the first to show up. They ran behind a tree to change from wolf form to human and walked towards us.

"Hey who's watching Sue and Harry?" Jake asked after seeing Quil with Embry.

"Oh, yeah. Charlie showed up and told me he'd stay with them for a while," Quil said as he looked down at Seth laying in Bella's lap.

"What happened to him?" Quil asked as he stooped down just as Seth was coming too.

"Ouch, what hit me? Seth asked as shook his head trying to relieve himself from the fogginess he was feeling.

"You got hit in the head with a baseball. Normally that wouldn't hurt if it was a human doing the hitting, but seeing as it was a vampire that's a complete different story," Jake told him. Seth growled as Quil burst out laughing.

"Shit, what's the odds in that?" he said just as another ball came flying through the air and smacking Quil upside his head. Quil too hit the ground with an oompf. Causing, Embry to double over in laughter. Jake and Paul stood still contemplating why the Cullen's were playing so close to the treaty line completely ignoring Quil, while I moved over to comfort Quil.

"Don't worry about him Bella he's got a thick skull," Embry said still laughing. "Even if he loses a few marbles it won't make any difference he never had that many to begin with," he continued laughing.

Jake looked down where Quil head laid on my lap and shook his head while rolling his eyes. He stooped down and listened to Quil breathing to see if he was faking it or not. Jake growled at Quil and stood up.

"Get up!" he yelled while he nudged Quil hard in his side with the toe of his shoe. Quil opened his eyes and shook his head asking the same thing Seth asked moments ago.

"What the hell hit me?" he asked knowing what had hit him, but not moving from my lap.

"What do you think you're doing man? Get away from my imprint!" Jake yelled. Quil smiled and looked up at me and then back to Jake.

"You don't think I'd let Seth get all the attention do ya?" he asked

"Get up you idiot!" Jake yelled again.

"Oh come on Jake, bro's before hoes, remember." Jake growled.

"Are you calling my imprint a hoe, man?"

"No, but we're bff's man, we share everything," Quil tried. Jake walked over to Quil and pulled him off my lap, balled up his fist and punched him square in the jaw.

"I don't share…especially Bella stay the hell away from her," he ordered. Quil stood there wiping the blood from his lip as Embry stood behind Jake snickering.

As the guys were acting like idiots my mind was lost in memories, trying to figure out why the Cullen's were playing baseball so close to the treaty line. Surely they know the wolves would be watching. I knew this went off completely different in my last life, and I knew it would be played differently in this one. I tried to think as they would think or at least how Edward and Alice would think. And then it hit me. Oh God! I ran to Jake.

"Jake get me out of here, get me out of here, Now!" I yelled he grabbed my hand and began to walk with me out of the woods, but I stopped shaking my head.

"Phase, Jake let me ride you we don't have much time!" I screamed. Jake phased without even taking off his shorts and knelt down. I climbed onto his back and he took off like a flash as I held on tightly to his fur.

As we ran I had Jake relay my message back to the pack.

A/N: What does Bella know that the others don't yet, Will they be okay? We'll find out in the next update...enjoy...thanks for reading, huggs
