You And The Wolf Boy Are Mates
XxXx
Charlie was waiting for them at the airport along with Jacob and Billy Black when they made it back to Washington. Bella could feel Jasper's hand tighten around her own as they approached the three waiting for them and she groaned quietly as the unmistakable smell of werwolves reached her nose.
"Of course his best friend's son would be a werwolf. Is there some sort of universal law that says that nothing in my life can be normal. My mother and step-father were killed by a vampire the night I was turned and my father is going to get himself killed hanging around with a bunch of overgrown mutts." She muttered with a frown.
"Chief Swan probably told Billy that you went on vacation to Italy with us and they assume that you were human when you went and are now coming back as a vampire." Carlisle said calmly as he led the family closer to where their 'welcoming' party was waiting.
"BELLA!" Charlie called out when he finally caught sight of them waving his arms over his head to get their attention.
"Hey dad," Bella said when they came to a stop in front of him. "Good to see you, who did you bring along with?" She asked even though she knew perfectly well who his two companions were.
"This is Billy and Jacob Black, you probably don't remember them much we used to go to their house wen you were little. Billy and I fish together on the weekends." Charlie said pointing at first Billy and then Jacob. "They offered to come meet you here with me, and I thought it'd be nice for you to see them again maybe spend some time with old friends before you decide what you're doing next year."
"Dad," I sighed frowning at him. "We've talked about this. I don't need to think about what I'm doing next year. I'm going to Princeton and that's my final decision."
"New Jersey's so far away though Bells, don't you want to even consider any of the other schools closer to home?"
Jacob and Billy exchanged a look behind Charlie's back and it was easy to tell that this meeting needed to be moved from the airport in the very near future. So in an effort to diffuse the thickening tension Bella spoke up. "Now really isn't the time to argue about this dad. We should get home and you're right I do want to talk to Billy and Jacob and catch up a bit."
"Yeah, it's been a long time. We've got a lot to talk about don't we?" Billy spoke up looking between Bella and Carlisle.
"Dad why don't we go to your house to catch up, I think that would be more comfortable for everyone."
"Sure, yeah. Dr and Mrs. Cullen will you and your kids be joining us?" Charlie asked looking at Carlisle and Esme.
"Thank you for the invitation Chief Swan, however we would hate to intrude, we've already had a monopoly on spending time with Bella for the duration of our trip. We'll let you spend some uninterrupted time together maybe we can all get together soon though." Carlisle said smiling at Charlie.
"Carlisle…" Alice said too quietly for either Charlie or Billy to hear but the simple name brought Jacob's eyes immediately to the rest of us. Alice and Jacob's eyes locked and it took all of my will power not to laugh at the irony of the situation so as not to
"Hey dad," I broke in casually. "Jasper, Alice, Jacob and I are going to go and see if we can find our bags, why don't the rest of you go and get the cars pulled around?"
"Yeah sure Bells," Charlie said looking up from where he was talking with Billy. "We'll just meet you outside then."
Bella nodded and grabbed Jasper's hand and heading off towards the baggage claim with Alice and Jacob trailing behind us. When they were out of hearing range of the others Bella couldn't hold back her laughter anymore and Jasper soon followed the two of them doubled over as Alice and Jacob stared at one another their arms crossed and their noses scrunched in disgust.
"This is absolute fucking gold." Bella wheezed, gasping in unnecessary breaths. "What are the chances that two mortal enemies would be mated to each other?"
"I blame the fact that nothing can ever be simple when you're involved," Jasper said grinning widely as his shoulders shook with his own laughter.
"What are the two of you going on about?" Alice and Jacob both snapped at the same time and they turned to glare at Bella and Jasper.
"And they don't even realize it," Bella gasped leaning heavily against Jasper. "How could this get any better?"
"Jasper please explain what she's talking about," Alice growled her eyes hard.
"Well…how should I put this…" Jasper said rubbing the back of his neck. "I guess what Bella is getting at is that we you and Jacob here made eye contact you might have noticed that something seemed different. That maybe it seemed like suddenly your world was spinning on a different axis all of a sudden?"
"How would you know anything about that blood sucker?" Jacob's voice was a harsh whisper.
"Because it's exactly how I felt when I made eye contact with Bella for the first time." Jasper said glancing down at his mate briefly.
"What are you trying to say Jasper?" Alice asked then.
"You and the wolf boy are mates." Bella said laughing loudly as Alice and Jacob looked at each other in horror.
"You've got to be joking. If this is some sort of ploy to try and get us to over look you turning Charlie's daughter into one of you it's not going to work." Jacob snarled.
"No need for you to over look them turning me into one of them Pongo. I was one of them before I came back to Forks. I was changed when I was sixteen. Which means we're telling the truth. I'm sure if you talked to any of your furry friends they'd tell you that we're right about what you're feeling."
"Pongo? Is that seriously what you're going to go with? Why would I listen to anyone that's going to call me that?" Jacob asked scowling at Bella.
"Maybe because I'm right Buttons? Now lets get our bags and get out of here. The two of you can figure out the whole mate thing later right now Charlie and Billy are waiting for you and I'd hate for security to get upset that we don't have you on a leash." Bella said pulling their bags off the belt before they could pass them.
