Bella/Belle POV Saturday - June 28th

This past week flew by quicker than I expected. Cassie and I started work on Monday and I have to say that I really do love my job. Since I'm the town's new pediatrician I am working with so many kids but it really is such a joy to be amongst the staff who appreciate what they do just as much as I. After last years incident I wasn't sure it would be possible for me to even be around children anymore but here I am once again proving to myself that I am stronger than I believe! The second day on my job I was shocked to learn that my step-brother, Seth, was not only married to a former classmate of mine but also had a beautiful little girl as well! I was so excited to see Angela Weber sorry, Angela Clearwater that I started conversing with her like she knew I was Bella Swan again but when she kept giving me odd looks I came back to myself and recognized my mistake. Knowing that she is family gave a little hope that maybe just maybe I can be accepted here once again.

When my dad showed up Sunday afternoon I was overwhelmed with so much emotions, fear being one of them, but the moment he held his arms out for a hug, all that slipped away and it didn't matter what I was feeling because I was finally home to the only parent I had left. Telling Charlie everything was not possible at the time but I did tell him that I needed his wife to be present when I did reveal everything that has happened to me and my family. Knowing that it will be hard to hear and take in, Sue really must be close to my dad in his time of need because if it was as excruciating for me to endure then it will most likely be hard for him as well. Since I started work Charlie has been bribing me with lunch to tell him something, anything about my family but I just won't budge on that topic. Saying 'No' to him is difficult but I respect Sue and she should not have any more secrets kept from her especially not from the man she loves.

Another frequent visitor that has been my favorite so far is none other than Deputy Sam Uley. This unknown feeling of longing to be near this sexy man is so confusing but my heart can't help but rapidly beat every time he looks into my eyes. My body has this electric reaction that passes through out it whenever he touches my skin and I am literally putty in his hands. At first I thought it was just me being needy in that aspect of things but my assumption was false when I noticed how much of an effect I had on his body as well, all I can say is he is well endowed in that department and there is no question about that! Of course when Sam leaves all I can experience is the immense guilt by remembering why I moved back to Forks in the first place. Every time I want to tell Cassie about the Deputy I relive what happened to my husband and daughter instead, I mean what right do I have to move on from the one man who showed me what true love feels like! How is it okay knowing that the death of my loved one's is all my fault in the first place and here I am living and breathing when I should be dead along side them! But then the wolf man comes waltzing back and I can't help the excitement and happiness that I feel deep down in my very soul. I thought distancing myself might do me some good but how was I supposed to say 'No' to the man when all I want to do is scream "Yes!". It's not like we're doing anything dirty, yet, I mean he is being a gentlemen which I appreciate tremendously.

Thinking of my daughter Carlie brings me sadness more than anything but I need to inform the tribal council of what's to come soon so contacting the Chief of the tribe was not a challenging task. However, getting my best friends husband to agree to meet with the elders by my side, was. Ever since Wednesday morning he's been acting really strange? I tried asking him about it but he gets really defensive and separates himself from me. I'm not the only one who's taken notice either, Joseff trapped him in the kitchen this morning and started questioning him about his bizarreness but in doing so he just made Justin more aggravated to the point that he left the house without a word. Later in the day Cassie got a call from him saying that he couldn't make it tonight and he hopes that she enjoys herself. She was kinda hurt by his recent abandonment and I know she really wanted to talk to him about something important before heading to my dad's place for the BBQ.

Now here I am, standing before a body length mirror in my ridiculously large walk in closet that I didn't even know about until Cassie showed me! She said it was a surprise since I'm more into fashion but we both know that's a bullshit lie. I didn't think that deciding an outfit to wear to my childhood home would be this problematic but here I have been proven wrong. In actuality I've never had this dilemma before, compared to my high school days I'm quite confident in myself now but with the man who has been plaguing my dreams since last week, I'm suddenly self conscious once again. I have tried on at least 20 different ensembles already and it's pissing me off that I might have to call my friend for help which will only bring up questions that I myself do not understand. "Cassie, I need help." Not even two minutes later she is there with a smug smile on her face which makes me want to smack her. "Oh be quiet! Just choose something so we can leave already. I'm sure Joey is getting a little impatient with me." Swiftly going to the far end of my closet she picks out a pink, white and turquoise floral top then grabs my short black faux leather jacket and black skinny jeans, well that was easier than I made it out to be. Taking in what she's wearing I love how she can make something so simple look amazing. She decided to put on a see through turquoise off the shoulder shirt with a white tube top underneath, matching me with black skinny jeans I might as well put on the same black boots as her. With an accessory or two and some pink lipstick on I'm ready to go, here goes nothing.

Jake POV Saturday - June 28th

Ever since Monday's council meeting the pack has been strained. Seeing Sam's admission in the pack mind wasn't a good thing to relive over and over especially since half the imprints were blaming our Alpha for Emily not being his chosen. The women know that's a low blow since you can't actually control who your intended is but some of them are just ridiculously stubborn like my sister Rachel. The guys on the other hand don't have much to say on the matter other than the silent uproar of Sam's imprint being the unknown wolf's mate and wife. They wanted blood for our leaders distress but he 'Alpha Ordered' us to calm the fuck down considering how difficult his own wolf is being right now. Another problem that we have on the table is the matter of Emily, who is not a real imprint, knowing about our legends and the truth behind the Quileute protectors. Yes, she has loved us as her own family for the past three years but built up resentment towards Sam could cause other unforeseen problems. Some don't want to even think such a thing is possible but shit happens when we least expect it.

When I had to announce that I was the second to imprint the committee was excited for me but what I secretly forgot to mention was Sandy being a little different than a regular human. Paul knew what was up since he seen what happened in my mind when I bumped into her at the grocery store. However, at the time I was too elated to recognize the difference between her heart beat and mine. Let's just say that the rate her heart goes in you would think she'd be dead but obviously she's alive and well which could only mean one thing, Sandy is special, different. As for the imprint I don't know how she's faring but I hope it's nothing like what I have to endure. Sleep is something of the past because all my dreams are of her and what my wolf would love to do to every inch of her body. Eating doesn't come easy unless she's in the same location as me which is a difficult task because from what I've witnessed so far she prefers to eat with her family. So for me eating sucks big time! Another task I wish I could have back is breathing! I have to sleep outside of my imprint's home to keep myself sane enough. I'll admit that I did try to talk to her in passing one day at the hospital but she just gave me knowing look and inviting me into her office. We ended up talking for a good three hours before parting ways, that night I slept dreamless for the first time in days and now here I am waiting for her at Chief Swan's house to make an appearance with her family.

Sam POV Saturday - June 28th

Man, I've been waiting for this damn cookout to happen ever since the Chief invited the Williams family on Sunday. Though I have been making an attempt at friendship with Elle, my wolf is still crazy mad about it. He wants to claim her, ravish her, to dominate her as ours which I can't blame him since I agree with everything he's been envisioning lately. I do feel a little guilty feeling this way for a married woman and if I was a regular man I wouldn't dare step near her but I am no regular human man so I say fuck it. She's Mine and I don't care who has anything to say about it. I had to tell the Chief about my newest imprint since I've been more on edge than normal but instead of reprimanding me like I expected him to he just congratulated me. Billy has informed me of Mr. Williams recent contact asking if he'd be able to meet with the elders and Alpha of the pack, of course I readily agreed but there was a catch which I should have expected. The wolf requested Chief Swan's presents as well Elle's. It's understandable to have his wife there but Charlie is an other thing I don't get? The meeting is to take place on Tuesday afternoon since our elders meeting is held on Mondays.

Coming back to the present I'm hit with the sweet aroma of my beloved imprint, God, eating some peaches and vanilla in fresh morning rain sounds delightful right about now! Shaking my head I look up to spot where she is and that's when I see her in the embrace of, Charlie Swan? The way he's holding her seems too intimate in a way and my wolf is slightly irritated with the older gentleman. My eyes are searching for her husband, Mr. Williams but as far as I can tell there are only three of them present, Joseff, Bella's brother in law, Sandy who is her sister, and herself. I guess the Chief is introducing her to everyone and by the expressions on the imprints' faces they don't seem to happy to have her here, well I think I need to change that attitude of theirs. Walking from the back patio to the back yard I close the distance between the group and myself only to recognize that Emily is here. I'm aware that she's been staying with Sue after moving out of my home but I didn't think she'd actually come knowing Elle would be here? I hope she'll be okay, I really didn't intend to hurt her the way I did Leah I mean I truly loved both women but with Elle, it's an unstoppable love.

"Hi, I'm Emily Young, Sam's Fiance." What the fuck?! The guilt and sadness that passes within Elle's eyes is so quick that I almost missed it, but of course all the wolves present heard what Emily said! And by the self-satisfied smirks on the imprints' faces it seems that this was their plan all along, fuck no! I'm about to regulate that shit as soon as I can, there is no way these women are being disrespectful to MY MATE! "Emily? That's a beautiful name, it's really nice to meet you Emily." Elle has a genuine smile on her face which only shocks all the women attending, what did they expect, a bitch? "Mrs. Swan, thank you so much for having us over, your hospitality is greatly appreciated. I don't think we've had a cookout of our own in over a year so it's nice to finally be apart of one again." Regret passes across Sue's face until a forced smile is made, hmmm, I wonder what that is about? "No, thanks from me needed Mrs. Williams it was all my husband's doing." Is that sarcasm that I'm hearing? Sue is never this rude, why are they all acting this way? Stepping closer to the enclosed group I make myself known, "Good Evening Elle." Taking in her appearance she looks radiant, so sexy. I see her shiver in response to my voice, yes I know the effect I have on you my sweet vixen. Turning towards me she steps forward to give a quick hug and kind smile in greeting, "Hello Samuel, it's nice to see you again. I've made that sweet cherry pie that you requested since you didn't get a piece at Charlie's party. I was sure to make at least 4 of them this time since the appetites around here might be a little hefty." I just nod in acknowledgement when Angela and Seth calls everyone to come eat. This will be a long night especially with all these impossible women present.
