Normal. Normal was the only way I could explain the last few months. Charlie had eventually warmed up to me. I didn't know what it was exactly, but I had a feeling it had a lot to do with when I had fixed his flat screen. That guy and his football. Right now, Bella was contently asleep in my arms. I would never get used to having a women like Bella around all the time. Not only had she changed my life for the better, but I had helped her too.

The day the Cullens decided to come home had started out very normal.

Bella's soft frame was pressed against mine. Her dad was now completely comfortable with me staying the day with Bella. Luckily he didn't know it wasn't uncommon for me to stay the night as well. That vein in his head would definitely have busted if he had known how many times I'd had her screaming my name against my shoulder while he slept peacefully, two rooms down.

The T.V. was playing, and a stupid movie from a few years back was flashing away on low volume. I had my hand under Bella's thin t-shirt, were it could rest on the soft skin of her hip.

She looked up at me slowly. She pulled her small hand through my hair. "I like it like this," she hummed. It had grown out quite a bit, and was now hanging limply around my face.

"I'm gonna have to cut it soon," I replied, squeezing my hold on her. "I keep getting sticks caught in it."

She smiled at that. Me being a wolf, wasn't even weird anymore. I leaned into her hair and breathed deeply. Just knowing she was there was constantly a comfort. She smelled like strawberries and...-

Oh shit.

I pulled myself away from her and stood defensively in front of the couch.

"What are you doing, Quil?" Bella hissed, trying to walk in front of me.

"Get back," I growled, moving her body behind mine. As I rotated around the room, trying to find what direction it was sourcing from. "Leech."

Suddenly I found it, just as the door flew open. I lowered myself, and growled loudly. In walked a small black haired girl.

"What is going on?" she exclaimed eying me and then focusing her glare on Bella. Behind her the one I knew walked in, the vampire doctor. I could smell others, they were near.

"Leave," I growled deep in my chest.

"Why?" the damn little vampire sassed. I felt my figure begin to shake. I would phase if I had to, but not in her house.

"Because, she's mine." I turned my body, so I could see both Bella and the bloodsuckers.

"Please, don't call us that," an annoying voice breathed.

I saw Bella physically flinch back and gasp. Her hand reflexively went to hold herself. I suddenly felt a wave of fear shoot through me. Would she choose him again? No, she said she was over him. Wasn't she?

The annoying voice, had a face. I face I knew very well, do to Sam's descriptions. This was Edward Cullen? He was almost a foot shorter than me and easily half as wide as me. His biceps were my ankles. Pussy. He was wearing a pair of ungodly jeans. Were those girls? And a polo, Ralph Lauren, really?

"I can hear what you are thinking," he hissed out between his teeth.

"Oh, really?" I asked curious.

"Yes, I told you he could read minds," Bella whispered from behind me.

"Well in that case...," I have a lot to tell you. But because I know it will hurt Bella, listen up Dickward.

I saw Edward's calm mask melt into rage. You are the biggest fucking man cunt! How could you ever leave such a beautiful creature? Who could possibly be better? You are an asshole. Too bad, you missed her. Because she loves me, and I love her too.

"Liar!" Edward roared, trying to get to me. His aggression made my shaking increase. "Get away from him Bella. You could get hurt."

Bella surprised the hell out of me, and I'm sure Dickward too. "Fuck off, Edward," she mumbled as he walked up behind me. She placed her palm on my back and my body calmed.

"What did you say Bella?" the little bloodsucker said surprised. "Did you just cuss? You never cuss."

"Yea, well, Quil is a bad influence, I guess," she smiled looking up me with love. Love! Fuck yes, she loves me.

"No she doesn't!" Dickward yelled.

Oh yeah? I immediately thought of some of my favorite Bella memories: her and I watching T.V. before we were dating, the first kiss, us cooking together, in her truck, and finally her and I slowly making love a few days ago.

He threw himself at me and I pushed him out the door before I phased. My dark brown body tossed him aside.

"Quil," I heard Bella scream. I turned back to see, the blond doctor and a big vamp holding her arms. I turned to growl at them. "Quil!" Bella screamed again. I turned just as Edward got his arms around me. We rolled and I slammed us against a tree. If anyone looked out their window right now, we were screwed.

Then all of a sudden I felt amazingly calm, like someone had sucked the anger out of me. I fell to the ground human, and naked. Edward stood back up and lifted his lip in disgust.

"You smell horrid," he spat.

"Yea, yea, and you're a rose bed," I growled walking away from him to Bella. Her eyes flicked to my naked body, and I smirked. I yanked a pair of shorts out of her truck and slid them on.

"Jesus," a new vampire spewed as he pushed his fists to his head.

"What now?"

"Jasper can control and feel emotions," the little vampire said, rubbing his arm. Their affection was gross.

"So, that was you," I said nodding to the dick behind me.

"Yes, and I can feel what you feel, so please," he whined.

"Oh, this?" I said thinking about Bella and I not so slowly fucking. I was thinking about the one time it had happened pressed against the hood of her car.

I watched him visibly stiffen while Edward whined. Ha!

"Quil, what is going on?" Bella wailed. I puled her away from a distracted leech.

"Good question," I said holding her against me.

"We came back," the midget said softly. "It was a mistake. You don't know how wrong for Edward Tanya was."

I watched Bella's face contort.

Then Edward was right in front of us. I held tightly to Bella's upper arms. "I'm so sorry, love. I should never have left your side. I've never stopped loving you, not for one minute. I was just tempted. It was just a temptation, but I didn't let it get far. Nothing like this mutt. He took advantage of you while you were upset. But don't worry, I can fix everything."

What?

I looked down to Bella's face to gauge her expression. As soon as our eyes met, we both cracked our serious opened mouthed fish expressions. I sputtered into dorky laughter and Bela followed and leaned back into me and I was laughing so hard we almost feel over. Bella accidentally snorted, which got me laughing again. Eventually, we calmed down and I paused to thumb away a few tears of laughter. I looked up, taking a deep breath.

"What were you saying?" I smiled at him. Dickward was looking at Bella like she was a celery stick.

"What?" he said glaring at me.

"Do you like celery?" I asked him sarcastically.

He just glared, "See!" I smiled victoriously. Suddenly the big vampire was cracking up.

"Dude, who are you?" he asked doubled over.

"Quil Antera," I smiled running a hand down to Bella's hip. She looked up at me, and I leaned down to kiss her. "Bella's boyfriend," I added, licking my lips. And imprint.

"No!" Edward roared.

"Oops, did you not know?" I asked.

"Quil, quit being an ass," Bella said smacking the side my arm.

The midget, giggled again. "You really did influence her!"

"Yea, well when you date a werewolf you might pick up a few mother fucking bad habits.

I was surprised when everyone excluding Bella burst into giggles. Even the doc was trying not to smile.

"Fine," Edward said storming away.

"Hey, Edward," Bella called. Edward whipped around.

"I'm sorry, but, you left. I love him. I love him," she repeated.

I struggled to keep a grin off my face. I think I succeeded.

"I know, love. But, I will always love you." Bella didn't respond.

Ha!

He turned again and left through the trees. Bella looked back up with me. A sad smile on her face. I put both of my too big hands onto her cheeks and let my fingers slid into her loose hair. "Are you alright?" I asked stroking her lip with my thumb.

"Yea," she smiled for real this time.

"Stop it," the cowboy vampire moaned again.

"What? I wasn't even thinking about that?" I groaned.

He turned to look at his curious family. "Their feeling are so damn strong!"

The whole family smiled brightly. I guess Dickward was the only loser in the family. Bella and the midget had a moment. They embraced and I could hear the girl-pire apologizing for leaving. They traded numbers, and the family promised they wouldn't be far.

I approached the doctor cautiously. I didn't trust them. One of them had just attacked me. "Are you staying in the area", I said leaning away from their offending odor.

"No, No. We understand that you and your tribe would appreciate our absence. Although, I'm sure as you can see, that Bella may wish to be able to visit."

I wanted to scream 'No!' But controlled myself. "I'm sure that can be arranged." I looked to Bells. "Would that be okay with you?" I asked. She smiled a breath taking grin.

"Whoa," the big vampire chuckled. "I've never seen her smile like that." Bella smiled up at him.

"Quil makes me happy," she said walking towards me.

The family again was all smiles, and I quietly excused myself. I needed to inform Sam and also clear my sinuses.

I ran two laps around the house, telling Embry who was on Patrol about the update. I unphased and went to find Sam. I returned just as the family was leaving. I waved as they got into the two cars parked across the street. Bella ran back to me as I swept her into my arms.

We smiled at each other before our lips met passionately. She pulled back. "I love you, forever," I whispered to her. She looked into my eyes.

"Forever?"

"Forever."
