Chapter 5

I wake up in a cold sweet, I look to the window, but nothing is there but the moon light. Next thought is to check on the twins, but when I look towards the door, Chris is standing there looking at me. He doesn't look scared or even frightened.

"Mom it's ok, everything is ok" he says with sincerity.

I can't think of anything to say my mind is completely blank. I mean what do you say to your two year old son when he tells you that everything is fine.

He walks over to my side of the bed so I pick him up and set him in my lap cuddling him. He takes his hand reaches for my throat and touches where I was being choked in my dream.

"See mama just a dream" he says while patting my throat.

I gently take his hand and hold it, "I know" I say in awe; I don't know how he knows. I am just amazed that he is calming me down. And here I told Billy not to tell them scary stories.
I sigh,

"We really need to go to sleep" I say tucking him in, and then I get up and get Piper. She is alert standing up in her crib, like she knew that I was going to get her.

I go back to my room and lay Piper on the other side of me and tuck her in. I wrap my arms around them and drift off back to sleep.

I wake up in the morning and the first thing I notice is that I am alone in my bed. But before I can question that I hear a clashing sound coming from down stairs. I jump out of bed grabbing the nearest heavy object, which was my curling iron, and run down my stairs taking two at a time.

I reach the living room, and I hear laughing. Ok so there isn't any danger, I think to myself lowering my curling iron. I turn to go into the kitchen and the scene before me is quite a scene. Billy and the twins are covered in flower. It seems they have been trying to cook. The loud crashing sound that I heard in my room was from one of my metal bowls crashing to the floor that was filled with eggs and what seems to be milk, so why is there flower? But I forget the question because Billy explains.

"Sorry Bella, Jake need to get to school, so he dropped me off early. So I thought I would make breakfast for you guys and well." He looks to Piper and Chris, who are covered in flower. They look so cute, a perfect picture moment, they are even smiling.

"Its fine, what time is it?" I ask realizing it must be about 6:30 or so.

"Oh its 7:15" He replies.

"Oh jeez, I have to get ready." I run back upstairs and quickly wash my hair and dress. I come back down stairs with my bag. I go into the kitchen where they are cleaning up their mess.

"Ok, thanks Billy you are really a wonderful man. I'll be back right after school." I say quickly, I go and hug the twin and give them a kiss. Chris doesn't cry this time; he just looks up at me and smiles and repeats the line from last night.

"See, ok" then he goes back to cleaning.

"No need to hurry back Bella, you should hang out with some people your own age." Billy says but I am already out the door.

I get to the school parking lot pulling next to the Volvo, it's the closest spot next to the exit I don't want a repeat of yesterday.

I get out of the car and see people pointing at me; great looks like Mike started some rumors. I start to walk when I feel a tap on the shoulder. I turn to see who it is, and to my surprise it's Edward.

"Um hi" is all I get out, and I start to fidget. Dam this crush thing. I feel like a middle school student.

"Hey, so um, I thought you should know Mike is telling everyone that you have kids."
I shrug my shoulders oh well it was bound to get out eventually.

"Well, here's the bad part. There is this rumor going around that you got wasted at a party, and well to get to the punch line, you don't know who the father is." He says to me.

I start to feel hot all over; I quickly take off to find Mister Mike Newton. And this is why it's good to be in a small school, you can find someone easy.

I can feel that someone is following me but I don't check it out. I am too concentrated on finding him. And low and behold I find Mike talking to some kids, I can't remember their names, but I don't care.

I walk straight to Mike.

"Hey there Mike" I say with such hate, my body is shaking with furry, my heart racing. I know that my face reads of how pissed I am.

He flinches a little, and then says "Hi"

"So you are telling people that I have kids."

He shrugs his shoulders and the other around him are looking at me, trying size me up. All I think is I freaking dare you.

"You know I don't care if people know that I have kids, because they are my pride in joy in my life. Yes it is unfortunate that I had them so young. But if I hear one more rumor about how I conceived them, I am going to knock you out till the middle of next week." I take a deep breath then look over to the other kids; I see Angela is among them so I mostly talk to her.

"I told Mike here that I didn't want to go out with him because I didn't have time, because I have two kids. So I would appreciate it if that would go around." I go to storm off, but unfortunately I run into Edward which knocks me down. God it was like hitting a brick wall or something.

He bends down to help me.

"Sorry I just thought maybe you would need back up." He says with a little laugh. I'm glad he can find humor in this.

"You know I feel like you are stalking me" I say exasperated, brushing myself off.

"You parked by my car remember." He says still with a smile.

"Because that space is closest to the exit." I say pointing to the door with my hand. Then I look at him, his hair looks like he just got out of bed, and it makes his look even sexier. Jeez, is there anything that doesn't make him more of a god.

"Yeah, quick escape."

I nod my head in confirmation, but before he can say anything I hear footsteps so I turn to see who it is, Angela.

"You go girl, you just made him feel stupid. Don't you worry, I have your back." Angela says.

"Thanks" I reply then turn to talk to Edward but he isn't anywhere in sight.

"Come on Bella; don't want to be late for class." Angela pulls on my arm and off to class we go.

The day went by interesting, everyone wanted to see my picture of Piper and Chris. They all gave me compliments. A few tried to ask about their father but I pretended not to hear them. Mike got the heat, no one talk to him or anything; he sat all by himself at lunch. Biology was interesting as well; Edward really didn't talk to me, though he had a smile waiting for me, but not a single word.

But it was like he was contemplating something, he wasn't mean or anything.

Angela and this girl whose name is Jessica want to come over to my house sometime and hang out. Strange, I haven't hanged out with anyone in so long. But I told them that I would have to think about it.
I am pulling into my drive way, I see that Jacob is out of school, looking at the old pickup truck.

In the house I see the twins sleeping on the floor. Amazing I haven't been able to get them to have a nap since…been too long that is for sure.

Billy is in the kitchen with Jacob, Billy has that face, the face of 'we need to have a serious talk'. So I go and take a seat preparing for the speech that I am sure that he has worked on all day.

"Bella, I remember that your father told me two or so years ago that you were raped" He begins, I look over to Jake, by his expression he had no idea. It's a mixture of sadness and shock. This is the normal expression of person who just found out that someone they know has been raped.

I just nod my head waiting for the rest of what he has to say.

"I also know that you knew him, that you were even dating him at the time." He says waiting on me to make a response. I just nod my head, which is filling with the bad memories.

"Bella, who was their father?"

This time I shake my head. I do not want to go down this road I am not ready.

"Bella your children are extraordinary, and you want to sit here and not tell me why?"

I look at Billy with all seriousness. His face just reads of calmness. He just wants to help me. I look over to Jake, and it reads the same. I could tell him the truth and pray they don't think I am crazy.

"You believe your legends that your people turn into wolves?" I start out.

"Yes, I've seen it." Billy replies. Ok that's good so he won't think I am crazy.

I nod my head, "I would call that shape shifting considering they could do it when they wanted to"

Billy just nods his head, but his face starts to read confusion. Probably wants to know where I am going with this.

"The man that raped me, the man I was in love with, would only change during the night when the moon was out. Though everyday they had strength and speed, but when the moon rose in the sky, their strength and speed went up twenty times then they were human." I got up and started to pull out stuff to make tacos. I didn't want to get into details, or anything. I am pretty sure that he can figure out the rest.

"They?" Billy says.

I turn to answer his question, but I stop because Piper and Chris are in the kitchen and looking at me.

"Hey, I am going to make tacos, how does that sound?" I say walking toward them giving them each a hug and kiss.

"Good" Piper says with a grin.

Chris just looks at me, like he has listen to the whole conversation and wants to know more.

"What is it hun?" I ask Chris.

"He coming" he say with a distant voice, that when I see that his eyes are out of focus, I run over to him and bend down slightly shaking his shoulders,

"Chris, Chris!" I say with panic.

"Bella calm down, he'll come out of it" Billy says.

Piper walks to Chris and touches his shoulder and his eyes come back into focus and looks at Piper.

I can't tell what is going on between them but I know it's something, but I don't get the chance to see what, they run into the living room and start to play. I get up and turn to Billy and Jake; they don't seem too bothered by it.

"You've seen him do that before?" I ask I'm a little angry and upset; I thought I knew everything about my children. They should have told me if they have seen this before. I am their mother dam it!

"Yes" Jake answers me this time, "Yesterday, he said something about you coming home at 4. Then 4 come around and you walk through the door. Today he said that you would talk about the moon." Jake shrugs his shoulders.

Then Billy cuts in, "This and the fact of how they run and talk, these are the reasons why we want to know about their father. And what you are telling me is that, he is a werewolf."

"Yes"
