Chapter Fourteen

They hadn't gone back to the Cullen's residence; Edward wasn't quite ready to face his family about this. Instead they were at La Push, in the Black's house, Edward upstairs in Jake's room. He felt sick, sore, and very cold after the run back to La Push, but nerves filled his stomach as he could hear Jake downstairs with his father arguing about something. Edward knew almost exactly what that something was as his fingers dropped to his stomach. There was silence for a moment then. "Edward could you come downstairs for a moment," Billy called up to him.

Edward took a deep breath and slowly made his way downstairs. In the living room was Billy and Jake, no one else. Right then what was going on was a family matter, not a pack matter. He watched as the werewolf moved over to his side and took his hand. His eyes widened as Jake slipped a silver and gold band onto his ring finger. Set in the center of the band was a small moonstone. "In the eyes of our pack, with this ring, you are one of us," Jake whispered in his ear and held his hand, interlocking their fingers. Slowly, he was led outside were, to Edward's complete shock and increase of nerves, stood the rest of the pack. Edward followed Jake's gaze to Sam's face and the leader nodded. Granted, Sam did not seem happy about this at all, but he had to deal with it.

But suddenly, the crowd grew silent and Edward felt Jake stiffen beside him. Again, he followed Jake's gaze and his eyes landed on. Oh gods…why are they here? Edward thought as he saw none other than his family moving ever closer towards them. No wonder the werewolves got so tense so suddenly.

"No one is to harm them," Sam growled at the members of his pack but moved forward to meet the vampires. The rest of the pack made sure there was a wall between them, and Edward and Jacob. No one would let anything happen to a member of the pack, even if that member just so happened to be a vampire. "What are you doing here? What made you even think that you'd receive a warm welcome here?" Sam asked them, his voice low, his eyes staring directly into Carlisle's.

"We are here because one of our own is here. We wish to see him, we have been very worried. May we?" Carlisle's voice was calm, his hand in Esme's. All of them were looking directly at Edward. Even Bella was there; why she was Edward had no idea.

Sam glanced back at Jake and Edward. Edward hid his face in Jake's shoulder. Right then Edward would have rather been anywhere but there. "He does not appear to want to see you though. I think it best, if you would leave before we have to make you do so."

"You have no say over what we can and cannot do Sam. We want to see him and we have every right to," Carlisle said, his normally calm appearance was shaking ever so slightly with anger. "Let us see him."

Again Sam turned to face Edward and Jacob waiting for an answer. "One…at a time. Not all at once," Edward whispered to Jacob, his head resting on the werewolf's shoulder. He wasn't sure that he could deal with his family all at once. Jacob nodded, and glanced at Sam. Edward knew they were using the link that the members of the pack had to tell Sam what he wanted.

"You may," Sam told the vampires, but when they started forward, the wolf held up his hand. "Only one at a time. Jacob will be present and if any of you make Edward upset, you are gone. Understood?" The group of vampires nodded, some (most likely Emmett) grumbling at the answer.

Edward let Jacob lead him inside, and sat beside him on the couch. For a moment they waited in silence wondering…who would be first and who wouldn't come in at all. The silence was broken as the door opened and the first person walked inside.
