FOOLISH CHILD

Ch 14

Bella helped Amy with some chores and even went shopping with her what proved to be a mistake , as people openly gawked at her and knew that in a couple of hours all Forks will know the runaway daughter of Charlie Swan has finally come home.

She fears the rumors will affect her son and worse when her parents will ask her where she's been all the years.

She doesn't know what she will tell them yet , but she thinks that part of the truth will be best , of course , just a tiny humanized , but first she must speak with Eph and create a story for her parents and humans in Forks and then tell the whole truth including vampires to the Council and pack.

They finished lunch just as the guys came home and fortunately Billy and Embry weren't with them what made for a happy meal without death glares thrown her way.

Amy was glad to have some company this morning , but unfortunately for her the girl didn't seem to speak much and seemed to be in another world , she had to yell a couple of times for Bella to answer or do something.

Shopping with her was a big mistake , the girl was a disaster , falling almost every minute and bumping into people , God she heard stories about her being clumsy , but this is unbelievable , she didn't even know what some things were.

Did she live in a cave or what ? How did she take care of her son like that ?

Charlie dropped Billy and Embry in La Push and came home to the smell of food made by his Bells and he couldn't be more happy than seeing his older daughter arrange the table while Amy was putting the last seasoning to the food , the best his two favorite girls together.

Now his dream came true , his family sharing a meal together and even better now that he had a grandson too.

Bella saw pure happiness in her dad's eyes when he saw her and Amy in the kitchen and for a moment she forgot that she ever left and endured hardships at seeing her dad's eyes lighten up like that.

She felt her son barrel into her , hugging her , squeezing the life out of her.

Eph seamed so happy , his smile so similar to that of his father that could light up a room told her he enjoyed the little getaway and that is what she always wanted for her son , a life surrounded by loved ones.

He enthusiastically told her about his first catch and his disappointment at not winning the fishing award and eating ice cream with Alex , whom he seems to adore.

She watched her little brother and agreed that the little guy was hard not to adore with his chocolate eyes , so much like her own.

She saw Charlie give Amy a look that only could mean they'll talk about her , she hoped Amy wasn't too angry with her , because of her silence , but she had always been more of an observer than a talker and her years with the Volturi only made her more isolated and she didn't know what to talk with Amy without revealing the truth.

She is embarrassed about tripping , so much while shopping , but she isn't used anymore to avoiding people , because the vampires usually avoided the good smelly human and some of the products and changes really enthralled her and she kept her eyes wandering , so bumping into people was unavoidable , but she promises herself to never embarrass Amy like that ever again.

Ephraim ate , played a little with Alex till miss Amy came and took Alex for a nap , so he was left with nothing to do , so he told his mom that he was going to phase since his wolf was feeling restless for not phasing since they escaped and he needed to stretch his legs , but obviously his mom wasn't so fond of that idea , scared that a vampire will find him all alone or one of the pack will see him and hurt him.

His mom finally agreed after he told her he needed it to keep the wolf in control , so his condition was to not leave the woods behind the house and didn't stray further than a mile.

He had to be sneaky , so that his grandparents won't find out and he felt like a spy which was so cool.

He went behind some trees and phased , feeling like millions and a sense of belonging to those woods washed over him.

He ran a perimeter marking his territory , chasing after some small animals till he heard a noise behind him which put him in full attack mode and when he was about to turn and face the intruder , he was pinned down by a large body , which he recognized , as another wolf that oozed Alpha power and surprisingly had fur similar to his.

Oops , his mom was right he should have just stayed home !

*** Guess everyone can identify the wolf !
