Chapter 6

Did you ever just wake up one morning and realize that you will never have a normal life no matter what you do? I have and it is this very morning. Jacob and Billy left last night not asking anymore questions about the twin's father. I stopped thinking about Chris's ability and just went into a haze of confusion. How am I going to raise them? I have no idea how to raise werewolf children. Especially if they have gifts.

I finally get myself up and out of bed. I can hear Billy downstairs with the kids. They are laughing at something. I wonder if Billy can help me. He did say that he has seen the transformations of his tribe. I mean they have to be pretty close to werewolves. From the legends I have heard, they seem to be close.

Rolling my eyes, no, I don't even know how much of them are werewolf. I go to my closet and pick out a shirt and jeans not really caring what they are. I throw my hair up and head down to the kitchen, where I see a plate waiting out for me. They made me some French toast. I take a seat and begin to eat it, it's very good. Then Chris comes up to me,

"Mama, I love you" His eyes are big brown, making a puppy face. I melt at the very sight.

"Oh baby I love you too" I pick him up and hug him. Making my day better, I can do this; I can raise them and not mess them up. You would almost have to think that Chris knew that I was struggling with parenting them in my head to just come up to me like this.

I arrive at school in a gloomy mood, day three and I am still not used to my kids being away from me.

I park next to the Volvo again, and for clarification I only park here because of location. It's closest to Edwards's car, no, no, next to the exit. I stare out my window and there he was, like a Greek god leaning against his Volvo. Edward sees me and smiles. And then begins to walk up to my car. I get out hoping to dodge him; I really can't fall for him. "Too late Bella" my conscious tells me.

"Hey Bella" Edwards velvet voice calls to me.

I turn, "Hey there" you freaking sexy beast I add in my head.

"I was wondering if you would want to go out sometime" He asks sincerely like I can say no and it won't offend him.

"Yes, that would be fun" What the hell did I just do, I promised myself no dating, remember don't have time for that. He is smiling, and then I take off in a sprint before any plans are made. Agh what did I just do.

I get home, panicking about what I told Edward, we didn't set a day or anything. I took off before we could then I skip bio and lunch to avoid him.

I walk into my living room; I had to look at Jacob twice to make sure I was seeing correctly. I swear on my life that he grew two inches since yesterday.

He is playing with Piper and Chris. They are wrestling, well wrestling with Jake's legs. But he eventually gets on the floor with them for a little bit before picking them up and gently throwing them in the air. Wow, he is really good with them; he would make a great dad.

I call out that I am home and the twins come running to me.

"I miss you," Piper says first.

Chris just hugs me and smiles.

"Hey so what did you guys do today?" I ask them.

"Play, Biwy told us more stories about wolves." Chris replies.

"Oh yeah that is so cool," I say to him.

He runs off tackling Jacob, I wave Billy to follow me into the kitchen I should ask him about the Cullen's, maybe I should just go out with him; he does seem like a nice guy.

"Yes Bella" Billy says with a smile.

"What do you know of the Cullen's?" I ask sitting down, expecting the worst.

Billy looks at me, and then asks "Why?"

"Edward Cullen has asked me if I ever wanted to go with him, and well," I pause knowing I have a very guilty expression on my face.

"You said yes?" He asks, his voice sounding a little as if he hopes that I didn't.

"Yes, but I took off and been avoiding him ever since because like, I promised myself that I wouldn't go throw that again, but at the same time I really want to go out with him." I sigh what am I going to do?

"Well, they aren't exactly what I call people" Billy sighs.

"I don't understand, does that mean they are bad?" I start to panic what is it with me being attracted to the worst men.

"Have I told the legend of the Cold Ones?" He asks.

"It's about vampires and that they are the wolves' number one enemy, that's why you turn into wolves, right?" I say only remembering pieces of the story from what my dad would tell me at night.

"Well, my grandfather came across a coven of five vampires. They outnumbered them and could easily take us, so it surprised them when the leader, a blonde vampire, said that he didn't want to fight. He also said that they were different from others of their kind. The only drank animal blood, my grandfather believed them because they had golden eyes. So my grandfather made a deal with them, if they stayed off Quileute land they would not go on theirs, we also wouldn't tell the pale faces what they were." He finishes,

I don't know how to respond to that, except with a question.

"So is he a vampire, like is he is the animal vampire or something?" I don't get it, when I look back to the living room I see that Piper and Chris are listening to this conversation, as well as Jake. Great, but I can't stop now.

"Forget it Bella, it's just a legend." Billy smiles, then turns to the little ones, chasing them back into the living rooms. Chris and Pipers laugh fade away any though of Edward and vampires.
