Sorry these may take a while to get up, but laptop still broken. I'm trying to get it sort and I'm working on my other stories as well.

SwedishFanFictionLover - Yea, as much as some of the Cullens annoyed me, I always found Nessie to be a little cutie, and the kid that portrayed her was lovely too. I couldn't keep the fight going on, Embry had a lot to get off his chest, but it may take Paul a bit longer to cool off. I did originally plan to have a Pully moment when she accepts it, but it wrote itself in when Embry was apologising.

Laura - Thanks for the review, if I've planned to have Paul in this chapter then he'll be in, if not then he won't!


A week since Sully woke up, she sat on the sofa with Embry. She couldn't stand to just be left in bed, if reminded her of things that had happened with her mum and she just didn't want to think about it since her talk with Embry. The two of them were watching some cheesy reality show, Tiffany had the night shift and the two of them thought they would take the full advantage of having the house to themselves. Much to their disappointment, staying up late to watch cheesy shows was less then thrilling. Embry couldn't say anything to Sully, but he really wanted to be out with the pack, his patrols had been switched with Leah so he could stay at home at night with Sully.

Sully was doing her best these days to show that she was fine, but it was clear to the others that she wasn't. She'd went on short walks with Tiffany and Sue in the woods at the back of the houses, and sadly, they saw just how much the whole ordeal had affected her. Sue and Sully had walked on when Tiffany had stopped to tie her laces and ran to catch up with the two, who had walked quite a distance from her despite the seconds it had took her to tie her laces. Upon catching up with them, Tiffany had stepped on a fallen branch. It made a loud crack, and startled Sully who had turned round, looking for the source of the noise. she was short of breath, and the only thing she could now hear was the crack of the branch and her heart beating in her ears. Sully felt faint, and when Sue and Tiffany finally calmed her down, Sully discovered she was on the floor. She didn't remember falling or actually fainting, but she was on her knees with her arms around Tiffany.

That had been but a few days since she had woken. And Billy had speculated whether it had been too early for her, but the decision had been made that she would never be alone. A few times, if it was someone's turn to watch her, she would go to theirs, and seemed that she liked this best. She was tired of being in the same house all days long. She could understand that they were worried, but it was boring and driving her insane. Tonight, like every other night this week, Embry was watching her. Tomorrow it had been planned that she would go to Billy's. Billy Black, at the least was more subtle then the rest of them. Billy had asked Sully if she would come round a day or so before hand. If she would do a few jobs for her, because Jake will be at the garage and won't be back until two in the afternoon and Billy doesn't think he could stand to sit in the house so messy as it is for a day longer. Sully had asked if he why he had not asked one of the boys or Sue, Sue was taking Seth out for the day and whilst Billy did love the boys, he let her in on a little secret. Sometimes they were just a tad too boisterous for him, whereas she was soft and quiet, yet pleasant company.

Paul had been coming over in the day at various times to see how she was, but if truth be told. Sully enjoyed her time when she was with Emily, who she got to know quite well. Emily and Sully would it and chat and bake, something Emily had learnt Sully was rather good at, but when it came to cooking, Sully could burn soup. Sully enjoyed being with Leah, who wouldn't treat her as though she was made of glass. Leah was soft when Sully had another episode, but that was it, else wise Leah acted as though nothing had happened.


"I thought you would never turn up!"

Sully smiled at Billy, it was only a little past ten. She and Embry had fallen asleep on the sofa, which had done no favours for their necks or backs. She had woken up, what she would guess to be thirty to forty five minutes ago. Sully was up promptly, showered and dressed, after declining a lift from Tiffany and had walked to Billy's. It would have been quicker to go through the woods, but she couldn't do it on her own. So Sully had walked on the side of the road, waving at the people in cars as they went members of the small community, who had welcomed her eagerly as though she were family that they had not seen in years.

"Not been up long. Sorry Bill."

He smiled, "You know, I think it's only ever been you and Madeleine, that I allow to call me Bill. And Sarah."

"Sarah? That's Jake's mum, right?"

"Yes, that's her." Billy said, absent mindedly playing with his wedding ring. Even after all these years he couldn't hep but have it with him. He may not wear it on his finger any more, but he wore it on a chain around his neck. "My Sarah was a little beauty. I tell Rebecca and Rachel, that they are the double of their mother, but I see her most in Jake."

There was a soft silence between the two, it wasn't awkward at all. Billy found Sully easy to talk to, just as she found Billy easy to talk to. If neither had anything to be said, they wouldn't talk just for the sake of talking; but Billy had heard that Sully had recently accepted her mothers death. And he knew that when the wound was so raw, she would want to talk, or he thought so anyway. When Sarah had died, he didn't want to speak to anyone, just as Sully had been. He shut himself off, and refused to get close to anyone. But when came to terms with it, he wanted to tell the whole world just how great Sarah was. He guessed, that he had wanted to make sure that no one forgot her. Billy helped Sully as he could to clean the house, although he had gotten used to being in a wheel chair, there was still some things that he just couldn't do on his own.

Around noon, the two of them were around the dining table tucking into a grilled cheese each, and specially for her coming, Billy had asked Emily if she would make a small batch of chocolate chip muffins.

"How you holding up?"

"I'm fine."

"Okay. And now the truth."

Sully looked at Billy, she knew she could lie again but she also knew that he would see through it again. "I...it's...it's a struggle. I don't know if I should be okay now. You know, now that I said she's dead."

"Should be okay? It's not about whether you should or shouldn't be. Everyone mourns in their own ways, everyone takes as much time as they need. When I finally admitted to myself that Sarah was dead...I just wanted everyone to know what she was like."

"Why?"

"Because in the mourning period, everyone's thoughts were of her. When they finished mourning, when I had finished mourning, I was worried that everyone would forget her. She would sit in that seat you're in, that was her seat. She would get up early morning, and get the breakfast started and make Rachel and Rebecca's packed lunches, Jake was so small, he would stay with her." Billy stopped and looked up at a wooden wind chime, which was at the kitchen window, "And that, I made that for her. It was a courting gift. I gave it to her on her 22nd birthday. And she gave me this," Billy held his wrist up, a small red rope was tied around.

Sully smiled.

"I bet you have plenty of little things like that about Madeleine. Like your pink hair."

Sully twirled the pink lock of hair round her finger. "Yea. Mum gave me this on my twelfth birthday."

Sully pulled a small medallion from under her top. Brown braided leather held it round her neck, the medallion itself, was a green/grey metal. On one side was Saint Zacharias and on the other was the words, 'For my little wanderer, to protect you where ever your adventures may take you. Xx'. Sully had it on when she had encountered Gareth, and she believed it was down to her mother and Saint Zacharias that she was safe and sound.

"Mum said it would keep me safe when we went on our adventures. And when we lived with Grandma Bobbie, we would all stay up until mid night, on Christmas or a birthday, and open just one present. Grandma Bobbie said she used to do that with mum when she was little, and Great Grandma Ophelia would do it with Grandma Bobbie."

Billy smiled, since getting to know Madeleine when she first arrived, and now Sully, he had grown to love the names of her family, "Such a grand family, eh?"

Sully was used to his teasing now and simply smiled.

"We have Ophelia who married...?"

"Amos." Sully grinned, she knew where this was going. Billy, and Jake both, loved to make fun of her family and their names. Not that she could blame them.

"And they had...how many?"

"Six kids."

"Who were?"

"Dorothy, Evelyn, Ruth, Homer, Rose-Marie and Roberta. Well, Grandma Bobbie."

"Such names!"

"It was just that time period!"

"And who did Bobbie marry?"

"Chester. And before you ask, they had three."

Billy paused, "Well what were the called?"

"Helena, Finley and Madeleine."

"And what about Helena, Finley and Madeleine?"

"Uncle Finn married Ella, and they moved to Canada to be near her family when her sister had a baby. And mum..."

"Just let me stop you there," Billy said with a grin like the Cheshire cat, "You missed out Helena?"

"She married Uncle E. And had.."

"Uncle E?"

"...Enoch."

After a small chuckle, Billy said, "Carry on."

"They're old now." Sully got her own back.

Helena and Enoch were about the same age as Billy.

"I should blast you for that you cheeky mare!"

"Now dad, there'll be no blasting!" Jake said as he came through the door, "Hey there, Sully."

"Hi Jake, how was work?"

"As good as it can be, but I get paid next week, so it's all good." Jake smiled. "I'm just getting a shower then I'm going out."

"Where?" Billy asked, just as they had planned.

"To see Bella. Was the party the last time you saw her, Sully?"

"Yup."

"Wanna come with me? Bella won't mind, just be warned you'll be meeting her husband and that."

"Husband? Did she mention that at the party?"

"Can't remember, wanna come?"

"Yea, thanks."

"Great," Jake beamed, "I'm just going in the shower then we can be off."

Jake was pleased she did accept, he had already ran it past Bella and Edward, who were both great with the idea. Bella was excited to see Sully again, although the two hadn't gotten on well to begin with, they were quite good friends now. And when Jake had told Nessie, she was very excited to meet the new 'wolf girl'. It didn't take Jake long to shower and get ready, then the two were just out the door when Billy shouted,

"And what about Madeleine?"

"She had me, Sully!"

"But what's that short for again, I forgot!"

"Nice try, Bill."


Well there's another chapter. I think this, like the last is kind of a filler. And sorry Laura, but there's no Paul in this one. As much as I love Paul, and this is a Paul/OC story, I'm not fond of those stories when the Love interest is in every single chapter. It is a Pully story, but it's also about Sully and her life, and the other relationship she has.

This was meant to have some more characters in it, but it ended up being mostly Billy. I figured in a way, other then her uncle, Billy would have been the one she put in that father figure position. And you got to learn more about her family, and you almost learnt Sully's real name.

Review guys!
