We made it down to the gathering on, first beach an hour and twenty minutes later. After we showered I changed and put on a navy blue and white laced sleeved bodysuit, with a simple pair of black leggings, letting my hair dry naturally in a ponytail. Sam had left a fresh hickey on my neck and kept me close, as we walked down the cliff face steps onto, first beach.
Old Quil is waiting for us at the bottom of the steps, and Sam simply nods, the old wolf grins and then does a zip motion across his mouth with his fingers, walking away. I look at Sam as he watches old Quil, he almost has a skip in his step; Sam simply kisses my lips, and lets go of my hand to wrap his arm around my waist. Unfortunately, we see Leah is also down here, and I hope she's going back to her cousin Emily's soon.
She is baby, tomorrow morning she won't be back for a long while. Harry texted me whilst you were changing and asked if it was okay for her to come. I said only if she keeps her distance and thoughts to herself.
Let's hope she doesn't start anything today of all days. It's hard enough for everyone involved, we don't need the added drama.
No. If she does, I'll personally remove her or chuck her into the ocean myself.
I'd rather you didn't touch another woman! I said suddenly, getting all jealous. Sam lifts me up and presses my back gently against the cliff face, kissing me hard.
Now you know how I feel when even Paul or Chief touches you. It takes a lot of effort not to rip the person's handoff. I'd take you right now if I could!
Fuck! I moan into his mouth, my arms wrapped around his neck, his arms above my head, almost giving us an illusion of privacy.
Too many clothes. My husband complained until a throat-clearing calls us back to reality, and Sam brings me back down to earth, wrapping his arms around me as I do the same for him, snuggling into his embrace.
"Good of you two to finally join us. I'd rather you not eat each other's faces off, in public." Jacob Black's voice, dripping with jealousy invaded our bubble.
"Grow up Jake. I'll snog my husband if I want to!"
"Not everyone wants to see it, Isabella." He hissed. "You never used to behave like a slut and whore." I went to move forwards to slap him, but Sam held me tightly to him as I began to feel myself shake, a little.
"I've warned you once Black! You could have still had a friendship with my wife, but due to your attitude problem, we kept our distance. Bella's choice by the way before you start saying I'm some kind of control freak. Call my wife those words again, and I won't be held responsible for my actions! I can confirm my wife is no slut!"
"Leave them alone Jake." We hear Embry say as Paul and Jared come running over. Paul stood by my side as he pulled Embry into his. But not before he slapped Jake in the back of the head, rather hard and threatened him if he ever called me that again.
"So this is where you've been hiding! I thought I was seeing things at the funerals this morning." Jake glared at Embry, clear betrayal and disgust in his eyes.
"You even look like them now!" He added in disbelief, as he eyed Paul's hands-on Embrys hips, then his lips at Embry's ear. We could hear what he was saying but Jake couldn't hear him calm his mate down.
"It's called being happy Jacob and finding my true self. Paul didn't even know he was into men either until we got drunk one night after I applied for a job and got it with the council. You know how things were, for me. Maybe one day you will understand yourself."
"I hope not…" Sam and Paul said at the same time, making Jared laugh! Jake rounded on him, a smirk appearing on his lips.
"I don't know why you're laughing… has Kimberly not told you yet?" Jake asked feeling smug.
What have we missed? I asked my husband in shock.
Fuck knows baby! I wouldn't believe a word that comes out of this dumbass mouth.
"Fuck off, Black." Jared snaps, as he stops laughing.
"Oh, so you do or don't know then?" make taunts him.
"That will so Jacob Emphram Black! I have given you chance to change your attitude! First, you corner Sam and Bella, then you dig at Embry and Paul and now you're trying to wind Jared up! It's time I sent you off to your sister Becka." The look on Jake's face is priceless and I can't help the amused grin on my face. Knowing exactly how Rebecca Black is.
"You wouldn't?" Jake rounded on his father.
"Wouldn't I?" Billy challenged him, as he got his phone out of his shorts pocket! She answered on the second ring and he even put it on speakerphone.
"Yes?" She says simply, and Billy rolls his eyes.
"Can I still send Jacob to you? He's crossed a line today, and his attitude problems haven't changed. Silence!
"He's pushed it too far! He's being nasty to a lot of people, he's now taking his issues out on his childhood friends. I could understand his feelings towards Isabella Swan, now Isabella Uley, who's actually a Lahote. But now he's taking it out on his friends too. There's only so much shit I can take, and they can take before things truly do get nasty. I feel like you're the best person to sort him out, as he's not listening to me anymore," he said.
"Fine! Send the brat over here. He's going to be in for a nasty shock of reality! You might be chief there, but nobody here can bail him out!" She said, then added:
"Did you say Isabella isn't a Swan?" Her tone had changed a little bit to one of shock.
"Turns out she's Paul Lahote's half-sister, and she's married to Sam Uley. Leah Clearwater has also been sent to live with family in the Makah tribe."
"Drama, drama, drama! It's why I left! Wait! Isn't she, what? Only sixteen/seventeen?" She asks.
"Yes, but with special permission, we've pulled some string." Uncle Billy explains.
"Why wouldn't you do that for me and Paul?" She hissed.
"Because you were fourteen, and he was fifteen! Plus I knew you two weren't meant to be, so I was saving you from unnecessary heartache."
"That wasn't your choice! And why I moved. Give me Jacob, and I'll kick his ass into shape! My kids don't behave like that." Uncle Billy frowned.
"It would be nice to see my grandchildren, other than FaceTime." He hinted.
"Nice try, you can come here but I ain't ever going back to La Push, Rachel might be your only hope on that side of things! Don't tell her I told you that. Text me the dates, I gotta go." We hear a baby crying in the background.
"Get your ass overhear Jacob, and leave this lot alone! I've had enough of your attitude, and if I trust anyone it'll be your sister, to sort your ass out! You should be thankful I'm not sending you to boarding school, that thought has crossed my mind over the past few years." Billy starts walking away and Jake follows with a:
"Oh hell, fucking no." We hear Billy chuckle: we wait until we know Jake is out of hearing range, and I turn to my brother and his mate and ask Embry.
"Has Jake always been an asshole? Or have I been completely blinded to it over the years?" Embry rolls his eyes and shakes his head.
"When Jake doesn't like someone, or when things change around him, he finds it hard to adapt to change and we have changed and ended up with people he strongly dislikes, for silly reasons to be honest. People evolve and change all the time, but in Jake's eyes I guess, we've betrayed him, and he's not handling that very well, as he thought he'd always have us, and eventually you'd cave in to his charm." Sam growls. I place my hand on my husband's chest, and he clams instantly under my touch, then Embry adds, "Plus I never told him I was secretly into men and women, so this has come as quite a shock to him to see me with Paul. I never told Jake because of his views on same-sex."
"I hope he never phases, I think I'd stop! I don't want to hear that brat inside of my head." Paul grumbled.
"Well if you two are anything like Bella and I, we can keep private stuff that we don't want others to know about out of our heads when we all phase as pack! But due to mates, and siblings we haven't all phased at the same time for a while. We've phased, as mates." Sam explained to them, and Jared even looked shocked.
"I'd rather not see their sex-athons!" Jared said. The three of them have patrolled at the same time.
"Don't lie! You'd join in if we'd let you…" Embry teased him, which Paul clearly didn't like.
"I don't share." He pointed out.
"True, you don't even share your food," Embry admits.
"Interesting! Sam and I share everything. Is everything okay with you and Kim, Jared?" I asked him in a carefully controlled tone, as Sam was too chicken shit to ask. I could feel his eyes on me as I said this, and I rolled my own eyes mentally, which took a lot of effort to keep mine as still, as I could.
"I wondered if you'd all picked up on that." He grumbled.
"Kinda hard not to, only Bella had the balls to ask," Paul told him, in a blunt Paul kinda way. He said wrapping his arms around Embry and resting his chin on his shoulder.
"Foods ready, when you lot are!" Harry called over. He seemed a lot more laid back away from Leah or Sue... it is like he was always on edge when they are.
There's a reason for that baby, you've seen how they behave. I'm tempted to go elsewhere to find another midwife for our baby. I don't particularly trust or feel comfortable with Sue. I think she might have a few new people working for her now, so I'll ask Billy, but for now, we can monitor the heartbeat and you'll know if there is anything wrong, which shouldn't happen with our wolf genes.
I know what you mean. I don't know them that well, and I don't feel comfortable around them, it probably didn't help with what Sue was like when I first met her.
No! She has tried to get me and Leah back together before I met you. Leah's very much like her mother and doesn't like it when things don't go her way.
Sucks to be them, they'll never have you, and Jake won't ever have me. All I want is for our little family, pack, and to be happy. I tell him, as we walk over and join the others.
And I promise you we already have this, just a few irritating flies in the way, I love you Isabella Lahote Uley, you and my baby are my life and heart.
We love you to the moon and beyond, for life, and have my heart and our baby's always.
A throat clearing pulled us out of our bubble and we realised we'd been standing facing each other with our foreheads resting on one another's, looking into each others eyes, near the group.
"Bella, can I have a word?" Paul asks.
"If a single patch of skin or hair is harmed on my wife, your balls will be popped and penis fried." My husband threatens my brother, who has wide eyes.
"I happen to love that fried penis, so I hope that's just an empty threat! Come on Boss, let them have a mo!" Embry tells Sam, who kisses the side of my head, glaring a warning glare at Paul, I squeeze his hand, and I feel his loss as our fingertips are separated!
Paul and I head towards the ocean, both lost within our own thoughts, as I wonder where Paul is going to begin.
Hope you all have a lush weekend :)
