"What the hell are you doing?"

"Making coffee"

"That's not how you make coffee you idiot"

"Then how do I make coffee?"

"Not by ripping open a tea bag you prick"

I had been listening to the overly loud grumbles for about ten minutes, the voices were low and gruff, obviously the guys but I was too comfy in bed to wake up properly and so I had been led in a dozing state for a while, my eyes shut and occasionally falling back into light sleep but each time I did a new round of insults floated from the hallway. This time it was Jared, at least it sounded like Jared, and the idiot with the tea bag was Paul, I think anyway. They all sound so low and gruff they are practically the same in voices. I had no idea why they were here, nor did I care, I was happy in bed, I hadn't slept this well since before I was at the Cullens and I wasn't ready to give up my bed yet.

"Guys shut up your being too loud" I think that was Quil, but I snuggled further into my pillow and kept my eyes shut, I had no desire to find out why they were all at my house.

"So you're telling me, you put this whole little bag into hot water to make tea?" Paul, yep that was definitely Paul.

"Yes, the tea is inside the bag Paul. Coffee comes in a coffee jar. Were you dropped as a child or something?" And that was Jared. Eurgh, please just get out of my house. Where was Rachel? Could she not get them out?

"Why is there blood on the floor?" Blood? For Christ sake what the hell were they doing?

I went to get up but as I moved up onto my elbows my bedroom door swung open and Sam came waltzing in with a cheeky grin on his face that I had never seen him wear, he was usually so serious.

"Sam" I started as he made his way to my bed but his big body running toward me frightened me slightly and I curled back into my blanket as if that would protect me from whatever he was planning to do.

"Come on sleeping beauty" He boomed as he wrapped his arms around me and I squealed at the touch and kicked out against him. "Stop kicking me" He chuckled like I was doing it as a joke but I wasn't, I actually wanted to stay in bed and I certainly did not want Sam Uley dragging me from it. So naturally, I didn't stop kicking; I kept kicking even as he picked me up fully in a bridal style carry and dragged me from my room.

"Sam get off me I'm tired" I groaned and grabbed onto the door frame as we passed the bathroom, Sam halted for a second as my grip pulled us back but he quickly forced me to let go and set back off toward the kitchen. I was only in short pyjamas and a strappy top; I was in no way feeling ready to face the guys, especially not dressed in so little.

"SURPRISE" A chorus of booming voices let up as Sam dropped me to my feet, but I wasn't ready to be dropped so I fell straight on my ass.

"Why do you people always drop me?" I squeaked and looked up ready to shout at Sam for letting me fall but as I glanced up I saw the guys all stood with sheepish grins on their faces around the kitchen breakfast island, even Sam had the cute little grin on his face as he held his hand out to help me up. I couldn't be angry when they looked so cute. I let Sam pick me up and as I steadied myself he walked to join his pack. They were all here, except the three who left for the Cullens but the rest were here, even Collin and Brady, there was a big banner running across the back wall of the kitchen that read 'We're sorry Jade" with a little smiley face and loads of hearts dotted around it, it looked pretty rushed so I guessed one of them had made it and the hearts were misshaped. But it was sweet.

"What are you doing?" I could feel myself frowning as I looked at each guy stood around the kitchen, they were all smiling sheepishly like they were about to be told off, except Embry, he had his usual big grin across his face as I looked at him my stomach flipped and my lips tingled from the memory of the night before. We had made fresh cookies after burning the first ones, although, baking and Embry didn't go together very well and he ended up with more cookie dough in his hair that on the baking tray. Then he ate them all before I had a chance to try one, but even then when I was craving cookies and there was none left I couldn't be annoyed at him because he flashed me the grin he was flashing me now and it was impossible to feel anything but giddy.

"We wanted to say sorry for being such jackass's, and so we made you breakfast" Sam spoke up first, motioning at the counter in front of him, I wasn't sure how I hadn't noticed it sooner but there was food covering it, waffles, pancakes, bacon, egg, cereal and jugs of juice and a pot of coffee. Now I understood the mumblings about coffee I had heard.

"Yeah and we made the banner" Collin shouted while signalling to himself and Brady and I couldn't help but smile, I didn't know them very well but they were so small and cute.

"So today is Jade day and we are all yours, we will do whatever you want us to do because we have been massive douches and we should have trusted you when you said you didn't do anything wrong and we have all agreed to get our heads out of our asses and listen to you in future" Paul piped up this time, winking at me as he spoke but I knew he was being serious.

"Except me because I was on your side the whole time, I just came for free breakfast" Quil added in at this point and everyone turned to look at him, I couldn't tell if he was being serious or not but he shrugged and reached for a muffin, ok so maybe he was serious. But he was right, he had believed me.

I couldn't think of what to do or say, I just stared at them all, they had done all this to say sorry? I thought it was all sorted after last night, I mean it hadn't occurred to me the guys would need to say sorry, all I had focused on was Embry. But I appreciated it, I mean they had hurt my feelings too by not believing me.

"Is she ok?"

"Yeah she looks like she's trying to decide whether to forgive us or kill us"

"She scares me shitless man, I never know what she's gonna do"

"She's fine shut up guys"

"Is it weird she scares me more than vampires?"

"Collin, dude she's a tiny girl how can she scare you more than vampires?"

"Because she can kick ass, I've seen her do it man"

"I think she's happy, she usually gets that eye twitch when she's angry" Paul added in and I snapped from my trance, asshole.

"I do not get an eye twitch" I snapped at him and he started chuckling proudly at himself like he was the funniest guy on earth. My eye does not twitch. Bastard.

"Ahh there she is" He cooed at me and everyone sent new smiles at me, except Collin he was staring at me like I was a three headed monster but Brady nudged him and he turned his frown into a smile, a little forced but still a smile.

"So do you forgive us or have we completely messed up this time?" Sam offered, smiling hopefully at me and I cocked my head to the side to think. I mean, I couldn't really blame them that much for the trick thing because it was Jacob's fault and I agree it probably looked really bad on my part. And they were practically my brothers, they were like family and family should always forgive family and they had all been there for me since I came clean about my depressed feelings. And they were adorable when they looked so guilty and scared like they did now.

I walked into the kitchen and around the counter toward them, making sure I kept my face blank until I reached them and I stopped just in front of Sam and Paul. Both of whom suddenly became a little jumpy and Paul threw himself behind Jared.

"Damn it I never know what she's going to do" He squealed as he pushed Jared in front of him as if offering me Jared rather than him.

"Told you she's scary" Collin piped up and at this point I couldn't hold in my smile and I huddled forward to them all and tried stretching my arms out like a group hug but obviously I only just fit around Sam.

"She's safe" Quil called out and I flipped my hand around Embry to hit him across his big arm. Stupid boy. "Group hug" He called out again and all the guys came crowding around me, I think I was suffocating, my face was squished against Sam's chest and someone was pressing against my back making it impossible to breathe.

"Guys" I squealed but no one moved, instead I was pushed further into the group of guys and my squished face went from Sams chest to someone else's. "Uhh guys" I tried again and again I was ignored as the large guys huddled around me. It was getting too hot, I couldn't breathe and it was too hot. This was getting stupid. How long did they need to hug me for?

I couldn't handle this anymore, I opened my mouth against the persons chest, they were wearing t-shirts thank god, so I bit out and clamped my teeth around their skin, a huge screech erupted and all the guys jumped back from me, the cold air of the kitchen washed over me and for a second I forget to let go of the bite. A hand came smacking around my head and I pulled back, gasping for air as I stumbled into another body behind me. I looked up at who it was I bit, oops, Collin. Well, he was never going to like me now.

"Sorry, but you were all suffocating me, I'm only little" I tried smiling at him but he actually looked terrified. Warm arms wrapped around my waist and I peered at the person I had fallen into, Embry, he was smiling down at me and as I looked up at him he placed a kiss on my forehead. And my stomach flipped as if on cue, this boy was slowly killing me.

"Let's eat" Paul howled from beside us and everyone ran to grab food, Collin lingered for a second still looking frightened but Brady pulled on his arm and he ran off with his friend. Oops, poor kid would be terrified of me now.

Embry turned me around in his arms and pulled out one of the stools, sitting himself on it he lifted me up to sit on his lap and I went to protest because I was sure the stool would break, I was heavier than I looked but his hand came up and shut my mouth as if he knew what I was about to say. I turned to look at him and he raised his eyebrow at me before chuckling. "Just eat something Jade" He placed another kiss on my cheek and I felt myself blush, luckily no one seemed to notice because there was no comment from the guys, then again, there was food here so no one would notice anything but the food.

I grabbed a waffle while the guys went for the bacon and pancakes. No one was touching the eggs, they looked weird.

"Paul made them" Quil spoke and I glanced up to see him smirking at me as I stared at the eggs, which made sense. He was a risk when put in the kitchen.

"So you say you're mine all day? I can do whatever I want with you?" I glanced around at the guys and they all gulped on their mouthfuls, the scared looks back in their eyes. Sam nodded slowly and I smirked, this could be fun. Oh this could be very fun.

...


"What the hell have you done to them?" Rachel whispered to me as she came to stand next to me in the kitchen, Emily and Kim came in behind her and a little Claire trotted in, they each looked over at the living room of sleeping boys and frowned at me, even Claire.

I just smiled; I had completely worn them out. I took full advantage of the fact it was 'Jade day'. After breakfast I made them phase and race one another so I could see who the fastest wolf was, it was Paul, but Embry was close second so naturally I said Paul had flicked grass in Embry's eyes so he was 'disqualified', meaning Embry won. This then caused an argument and so they started fighting, which was not my fault, well maybe it was but oh well. Then I got them to change my room around, moving my furniture to new spaces but I didn't like it so I made them change it back, that went on for about an hour and a half before Embry finally gave me the puppy dog look and I let them stop, my room ended up in exactly the same position it started in. Then they had to make lunch while I caught up with new episodes of the Kardashians, because every girl loves a bit of trashy TV. Although, I had turned around to see them all staring at the TV at one point. Then after lunch I had them do my chores that dad had left me list to do before he went fishing with Charlie, clean the yard, take out the trash, and clean the bathroom. Then I finally let Embry choose something to do and he chose a football match, so we did that, but Paul tackled me too hard so Embry went nuts and got into yet another fight which turned into a pack pile on. Then they got all macho and got into an argument about who was strongest, so naturally I had them do tests to see who was, so they went around picking up big logs and seeing who could push Embry's truck the furthest. The strongest was Sam, but I found a reason to disqualify him and everyone else who came before Embry so he won, which naturally erupted in more fighting. So then I calmed them down by having them make cup cakes, which they were actually pretty good at. Especially Sam, he decorated his with little butterflies, he was so proud of himself and I had to say they tasted good, whereas Paul's somehow didn't even cook, I had no idea what he did to them but when we got them out of the oven they were still gooey. Then they made dinner, and then after cleaning up the dishes we sat down to watch a chick flick and not 20 minutes in they all fell asleep.

The girls were all looking at me for an answer and I just shrugged. "We just chilled out" I smiled and the girls all laughed as if they knew I was lying.

"I'll wake them up" Claire stated proudly before stomping into the living room where the guys were all sprawled out. She turned to wink at us before sucking in a huge breath and letting out a huge scream that even had me wincing. Each guy jumped from their place, eyes wide and hands out ready to attack someone and Claire stopped screaming to let out a giggle.

The guys all glanced at one another before looking down at the girl in the middle of them, their faces still panic stricken like they had no idea what was going on. It was a funny sight, I giggled along with Claire as she ran to Quil and he scooped her up, yawning into her curls as she cuddled him. He was sweet with her, I guess it wasn't too gross that he imprinted, there was nothing perverted about him, he was just her friend.

"Come on guys, home time, your Jade day is over" Emily called out and each guy in the room sighed in relief as they stomped past me, all yawning as they filed out of the kitchen. "Thanks for watching them...wait that sounds like they're kids and you're the babysitter" Emily frowned at herself as she stood by the door to leave.

"Well aren't they?" Kim offered as she gave me a quick hug and I laughed and nodded, they were like big kids.

"True, anyway, bye girls" Emily called out before running outside with Kim. Paul and Embry were still in the living room, both of them sat back down looking shattered and Rachel walked to Paul and sat down in his lap, cuddling into him while he kissed her all over her face. My stomach swirled in jealousy and I glanced at Embry, he was staring right back at me like he had been watching me. My stomach flipped again and a smile rose on my face, he mirrored me as a smile spread on his and he stood up from the armchair and walked across to me.

"Come with me?" He held his hand out for me to take and I took it, not even questioning where he was taking me, I would go anywhere with this guy as long as it meant I could be with him.

...


We were strolling down the dark beach, the sand was cold beneath my feet but Embry's warmth was keeping me from freezing. He hadn't said much, he looked pretty tired and kept yawning and I offered to go back so he could sleep but he kept insisting he wanted to spend some time with me. We stopped and sat down in the cold sand, watching the moon against the dancing waves as they washed over the sand and slipped back out. It was so relaxing, watching the water at night time, it just felt and sounded soothing.

Embry had his hand wrapped over mine and I could feel him watching me as I stared out to the water, he wanted to say something I could tell, but he was holding himself back. There was something that had been bothering me all day, I hadn't wanted to ask any of the guys because I knew it would set Paul off so I figured I would get Sam to the side at one point but he was so into baking cakes I felt bad every time I tried getting him outside and so I hadn't asked. Maybe I could ask Embry, he would be less likely to get angry at me, I think.

I glanced over at him and sure enough he was watching me, he had that look in his eyes again, the one I had missed while I had been away. I was the only girl in the world to him. I edged back a bit so I was closer to him and turned to face him, folding my legs I dropped his hand and started playing with the sand that was beneath me.

"Embry" I glanced back up at him and he nodded, he was a little wary at this point. I was too, wary of his reaction to my question but I needed to know because everything still felt a little weird. "What will happen with you guys and Jake? And Renesmee, will you still go after her?"

He tensed up a little, dropping his eyes from mine he too started playing with the sand beneath his legs and he opened and closed his mouth a few times before looking back at me.

"No idea what will happen with Jake, he came to tell us about you then he and Leah left, no one's heard off Seth and Jacob said nothing about the situation between us all so I have no idea, I don't think Sam wants to carry on fighting with them though. And as for the kid, we can't do anything, it's an imprint now so we couldn't even if we needed to, it would hurt Jake too badly" So they were still referring to her as it or a kid, not by her name which was ridiculous, I had told them she was normal, or kind of normal. Whatever she was she wasn't dangerous. I could feel myself frowning as I looked back at him, a mixture of feelings swirling within me.

"Her name is Renesmee, and her being an imprint shouldn't really be the issue, she's harmless. You guys promised to get your heads out of your asses and listen to me but you still don't seem to believe me about her." I couldn't help the biting tone that came out in my voice and Embry let out a long sigh as if saying here we go again, I didn't want to fight I really didn't but I wanted them to believe me about Renesmee.

"Jade it isn't that easy, it's weird, fine Renesmee, is weird, we have never been around something like this. We don't know what will happen, but Sam knows that no matter what happens as an imprint it..she has pack protection, we can't hurt her, we just don't really know how to feel about it...Renesmee" He kept correcting himself, although I smiled as he finally said her name as if she were a person rather than 'it'. Pack protection, that was a good sign I think, I mean they couldn't hurt her and that was a step forward but I wanted them to give her the pack protection because they wanted to not because they had to.

"Would you have really killed a baby Embry?" The idea of it made me want to puke, I mean she looked like a normal baby so they literally would have had to kill a child, she bled like a human too so it would have been murder. He let up another sigh and held his head in his hands.

"Jade, we didn't know it would be sort of normal, we expected a mini vampire or something. If Sam had sent me in there to kill it and I saw it looked like a baby...no I probably wouldn't have been able to, I don't think anyone could. We just needed to prepare ourselves in case it was dangerous, if you're saying she's not and that she's normal then we won't do anything, regardless of her being an imprint or not ok" I had pushed too far, he was getting annoyed and he glanced up at me with the angry fire in his eyes, I always pushed too much. I guess no one really knew what would happen, not until Jake came back and sorted everything out, but I couldn't see that happening anytime soon.

I glanced up at Embry, he was glaring at the sand and I knew I had made him angry, I needed to fix it before it erupted in another fight. I looked around for something, anything to distract him but I couldn't find anything, nor could I think of anything to say.

"Did you know that a crocodile can't stick its tongue out" So I said that? What? Where did that even come from? Embry glanced up at me, his eyebrows creased in confusion and I did the only thing I could think of, stuck my tongue out. He studied me for a second, as if wondering if I was being serious, I was being deadly serious.

And upon realising I was being serious, his fits of laughter started, he doubled over chuckling as I stayed sat poking my tongue out, it was beginning to hurt and I saw the funny side of what I just did. Desperate times call for desperate measures, although where I got that piece of information from I had no idea.

"Oh my god" Embry gasped as he clutched his stomach, wiping his eyes he tried to stop himself from chuckling and he scooted closer to me again. "You are something else Jade, something else completely, it's really a good thing I love you so much otherwise I would think you were a freak" He chuckled again, breathing harshly as he tried calming down but my breathing got caught this time, he said he loved me again, and this time it wasn't because I was walking away from him. He actually just said it. My heart started thumping away in my chest and I was frozen, he said he loved me, love love love.

"Earth to Jade" He clicked his hand in front of my face and I snapped back, focusing on him again as he sobered up from his laughing fit. Do I just say it back? Maybe he hadn't realised he said it, well this was confusing.

"I missed you" That's what came out, not I love you, but I missed you, it wasn't the right moment for the love talk so I went with a safer option. He bit his lower lip as a grin spread across his beautiful face and his hand reached out to take mine, his anger from a few minutes ago was completely gone.

"I missed you too, more than you will ever know, never do that again, never leave me like that. I couldn't handle it a second time" His eyes bore down into mine and my heart ached for him again, I could see him now, sad Embry sitting around moping because I was gone.

His fingers curled over, trapping my hand in his and he lifted it to his lips, placing a small kiss on my knuckles and as he did I remembered the marks on his skin the other day and Jason's words about Nathan. I flipped his hand around to look at his knuckles, they were clear, although what I expected to find I had no idea because obviously being a wolf he would be healed by now. "Jade what are you doing?"

I flicked my eyes up to meet Embry's then back down to his knuckles, pulling his hand to my face I placed a light kiss along his skin and he shivered against my touch, I liked knowing I did to him what he did to me. "You had marks on your fist the other day. Jason said a big guy from the rez jumped Nathan...what did you do?" I looked back up at him and his smile dropped before a smug smirk rose again. It was him.

"Are you mad?" He frowned slightly as he waited for my answer and I shook my head at him. "I uhh just kind of lost it a bit, when we left the Cullens everyone was a bit buzzed but I just felt empty, I thought I had lost you, that everything was ruined and I just felt like I needed to do something to let it all out. I went through Forks, stumbled across Nathan and I guess it was an easy way to let my anger out, I'm sorry, I know I shouldn't have but my hatred for him came fuelling back and I just saw red, I lost it" I could tell he was proud of himself, he had waited so long to do something to Nathan.

"Sorry, I know it was stupid and I should have left it" His fingers found the ring on my finger of the hand he was clutching and he started twiddling with it, like he was nervous and I realised I hadn't reacted to him beating Nathan up. I know I shouldn't be but I was happy he had, Nathan was being let off of charges because his parents were so rich and even though he lost his scholarship I still felt like nothing had been done to him. And protective Embry was hot. My stomach swirled with a fiery feeling and I couldn't stop myself as I lifted my other hand to Embry's chest and drew circles along his damp skin with my thumb.

"It's ok, I find it sort of sexy" And queue the blush, why did I say that? Completely over stepping the friend line. Although, the feelings he stirred in me and the fact we had both declared our love for one another had probably overstepped that line long ago. I leant my head in against his chest, hiding my face as the blush crawled up into my cheeks. Why had I said sexy?

He chuckled and my head bobbed against his chest as the rumbling sound erupted from him. His finger came up, trailing the side of my torso and over my arm until he reached my chin, pushing lightly he lifted my head up and I was forced to look him in the eye, his sparkling brown eyes that shone with the smile that lay on his face. He took my breath away, quite literally.

"I always find you sexy, especially when you blush" His hand lifted from my chin to my cheek and I blushed again, from both him calling me sexy and the fact he knew I was blushing.

His palm flattened against my cheek and his body moved forward closer to me and I sat myself between his legs so I was facing him straight on. My breath was caught in my throat, my heart was racing and I was sure he would hear it thumping. He was close, so close I could feel his breath on my face. His smell filled my senses and I couldn't help but close my eyes and breathe it in, he smelt like grass, and rain and just general outdoors smell but there was a natural manly tone to it, no cologne just a natural smell that sent my stomach into another swirl.

"Jade"

"Mmm" I whispered back and looked up at him, even sat down he towered over me.

"Will you be my girlfriend?" He sounded so cute, like a scared little boy who had finally plucked up the courage to ask and last minute bottled it so his voice shook. I was so caught up in his cuteness I forgot to answer and he started panicking.

"It's just that I know we kind of were going slow and I was going to ask you properly after taking you on a few dates, but then the stuff with Jake happened and then I screwed it all up and I get that you probably kind of hate me again because I was such an ass, but I promise I will never ever do anything like that again. I promise I'll believe you no matter what my stupid wolf is saying or what Paul says. I'll do anything you want me to do if it means you don't hate me, I want you to trust me again. What can I do? I mean I can cook you dinner, I could take you to a movie, I could do all your homework although you would probably get better marks if you did it yourself but I would try, or I could speak in my mom's accent all the time?" He kept on and on and in the end I felt so bad for the guy I held my finger to his lips to silence him, he had grovelled enough and he had been basically being my servant all day.

"Embry, you said sorry last night, you cooked me food all day today, you tidied my house, you beat Nathan up for me for like what the third time? And you already took me on dates, you can stop begging now, I don't hate you. I never did, I just missed you. Besides, all I have ever needed is to see that look in your eyes" I crawled closer into him, so I was close enough to kiss him if I wanted but I stayed back, close enough to cause his breathing to stop but far enough to not look like I was about to pounce him.

"What look?" He gulped, his eyes sparkling like I loved them too as I moved closer, the swirls of brown glowed out at me and I leant in to give him a quick kiss.

"Like I am the most important person in the world" I whispered back as he let out a long sigh of trapped breath.

"You are the most important person in the world, especially to me, you beautiful" He said it like it was a known fact, truth leaked every word and for a minute I believed him, all my personal body issues with myself were gone and I truly felt beautiful.

"So will you be my girlfriend?" He asked again, this time he seemed more nervous and I giggled at how sweet and vulnerable he was.

"Do you even need to ask?" I grinned at him but he seemed confused, his little brow creased. "Yes Embryo, yes I will be your girlfriend" I rolled my eyes as he let out a long winded breath and pulled me in for a hug and he started placing kisses all over my cheek and neck. "On one condition" I added in after my giggling died down.

"Of course" He answered too quickly and landed a quick kiss on my lips, fire raged through my skin and I grinned down at him.

"You talk in your mom's accent for the rest of the night" I giggled at myself and he rolled his eyes at me, what could I say? I liked the accent.

"Oh girl, I would do anything for you, now y'all no I can rock that accent, oh damn come here girl" He slurred out in the southern drawl and I squealed as he landed a raspberry on my neck, my giggles erupted and mixed with his chuckles. I officially had my Embry back. And my wolf pack. There was only three things missing, but right now, even their absence couldn't kill my buzz.
