Morning! What's your plan for today? I hit send and pulled on some jean capris and a pink tank top and already got a text back.

Morning? It's nearly lunch! I've been mowing grass, pulling weeds and doing work around the house since 8 am. Ready for a break, wanna have lunch?

I pulled on my chucks and pulled my hair up into a messy bun and hit reply, On my way. Should I bring something over?

Unless you want cheese sandwiches?

I laughed. I stopped off at out grocery and picked up some ready made sushi packs, some seaweed wraps and some soda and headed towards La Push. As I pulled into the driveway I spotted a topless Jacob moving logs, tossing them like they were made of foam. His strength was amazing to see because when he held me he was the most gentle person ever. I also secretly enjoyed knowing he could tear someone apart if he needed to. I grabbed the lunch and headed towards him, when he spotted me though he sprinted to me.

"Hey Bells! What'd you bring?" He kissed my forehead and smelled sweaty.

"Sushi and pop."

"Sounds good, did you bring seaweed?"

I laughed, "Yes, I remembered. Where you want to eat it?"

He motioned for us to head towards the beach, and I assumed he meant our cave. "That okay?"

"Yep." Not sure why this suddenly felt awkward, but maybe he just hadn't told his dad yet. Though I don't know why my dad wouldn't have called his, they gossip like a bunch of old ladies.

Once in our cave we popped open our soda and began to split up the sushi amongst us. I bit into my sushi roll and glanced towards Jacob who popped his into his mouth.

"Your Dad called mine." Jacob said after he had swallowed.

"Oh. I figured he would."

He took a drink of soda and popped another sushi, "He came into my room and gave me 'the talk'." I nearly choked on my roll, he patted my back and laughed. "Not that kind of talk. He told me there would be no more sleep overs unless he was there; he didn't want us hanging out too much because we both had priorities. Then told me that no matter what the main thing is to be cautious of Edward showing up again, because he was around while we were out of town."

My heart sank; so much for no drama. "Seriously."

"Yeah, but we've got it covered. He also told me that I wasn't allowed to kiss you." He laughed after he said it and took another sushi roll.

I had a mouth full so I just gave him a confused look which caused him to laugh again, "'Kissing leads ''places'' and we don't need anything ''extra'' right now.' was his way of saying he doesn't want grand kids."

"Oh geeze." I felt my cheeks go red. Why was everyone so hung up on the sex part? Didn't they know us at all...

"Yeah, dudes need to lighten up." he snatched a seaweed roll and chewed it quickly. "Pack knows now, Dad blew that whistle."

"Guess we didn't have time for the discussion, not that it truly matters." I sipped my soda and stared off at the ocean.

"Nah. Thanks for lunch though." I glanced over and noticed he had finished and I offered him the rest of my sushi. "No, that's yours."

"I ate two of those and I'll eat my seaweed wrap."

"You sure?"

I nodded and he began munching on those, his appetite would make anyone cringe who had to buy groceries. Poor Billy had a whole pack of wolf sized appetites he kept fed, I'd hate to see his grocery bill. Though they never cook, they have a deep freezer filled with frozen burritos and never ending pizza rolls.

"You are quiet." He pulled me out of my thoughts.

"Am I?" I hadn't noticed.

"Yes, you are. What's up?"

"Nothing. I don't know why I am quiet."

"Would you tell me if something was bothering you?" He asked, finishing off the seaweed.

"Sure." That wasn't very convincing.

"Right." He stood up and threw our wrappers into the fire pit. "Want to come back tonight, we can light a fire, just hang out."

At this moment he looked like a scolded school boy, he almost seemed afraid that I'd turn him down. Maybe my quiet disposition scares him. "Yeah, I'd love to. You have to get back to work?"

He nodded and took my trash, "Dad will wonder where I am, I still have to do a lot of work. Poor old man has a laundry list of chores he wishes he could do himself. I'd hate to have to rely on someone else to get stuff done, so I am trying to hold my end up."

"That's a sweet way to look at it. You could get angry and rebel...where is that Jacob?" I joked, standing to follow him back to the house.

"I don't know to be honest. I came home and just looked at everything differently, like it won't always be there and I need to make the best of less than appealing situations."

"That's awesome. I'll bet he is wondering what's up though." We laughed, he stretched out his hand again and I took it as we walked through the moss covered forest floor. I normally hate that because it reminds me that I am clumsy but I didn't mind it today.

He pulled me to a halt and looked like he was thinking, "I better do this now." My heart raced, I couldn't imagine what he wanted to do but I quickly found out as his lips were on mine. We kissed for a while, slowly and just enjoyed each other. As it came to an end Jacob leaned his forehead against mine and looked like he was in pain. His eyes were dark and I could feel his pulse racing through his hands.

"What's wrong?" I asked, rubbing his thumbs hoping to calm him down if something were about to happen.

"Don't move." I froze, something was about to happen. My insides began to flip as I heard growling and snarling behind me. Jacob pushed past me and stepped in front of me, "You aren't welcome here." I heard him say, but I couldn't move, I clutched Jacob's hand behind me and prayed whoever it was would go away.

Then I heard it. "So it's true. Bella decided to lower her standards and be with a dog." Edward.

"You should leave, now. You are on our territory and we all want a piece of you."

His laugh sounded like chimes, but it was dark and eerie. "I'd like to see you take us on."

"Who's 'us'...?" He asked, pushing me backwards again. I jumped when Seth came into view and nodded his wolf head at me that he had this under control. He crouched in fighting position next to Jacob and I and I wondered why Jacob wouldn't phase.

"My family, of course." I heard branches crunching underneath heavy feet, sounded like several people. His family? Alice told me they were going to take care of him. I peeked around Jacob boldly...

Author's note: I went back and forth with the direction of this story, I didn't want a lot of heavy drama right after they got home. However the story line would become stagnet with fluff if there wasn't some meat to it. I will promise you, the next few chapters lead to good things for your eyeballs. Let me know what you guys think!
