We arrive at the rez and there were a ton of people there. Emmett and I help Gail and Dad bring in the stuff we had brought. I grab Anna's car seat. Gail had Anna in her arms, with the baby bag. Emmet and dad grab the food that we brought. It was like pot luck style dinner. Everyone brought a dish of some sort of food. The Clearwaters though, always make the Turkeys.

I bring it in and Sue greets us and Seth helps with the food while Sue coos at Anna.

I smile at Seth and Emmett rubs Seth's head puts him in a headlock. Seth laughs punching Emmett in the stomach. Emmett fakes as if he is in pain.

Emmett says as he lets go of Seth, "You have turn into a man, since the last time I have seen you."

Seth stands up proudly, "I am 14 now. I am even growing a mustache."

Emmett inspects Seth's face, 'I don't see any hair…oh wait maybe one hair…"

Seth picks up the food that he had put on the ground to fight with Emmet and says, "Whatever."

Emmett picks up the rest and follows Seth into the kitchen.

I hear someone behind me, "Well hello stranger."

I turn around, it was Quil, and I smile, "hey."

I see Quil looking at my dress and he raises an eyebrow, "A dress? Has our Bella became a proper woman while attending boarding school."

I shake my head and look around to see Dad was on the other side of the building talking to Billy and Sue and Gail were at one of the tables cooing at the baby. I still had the car seat in my hand.

I say low enough to not be heard by them, "Evil stepmom made me wear it."

Quil nods understandingly. He recent got a new stepmom too and we always exchanged stories.

Quil points to his new hair cut, "Yeah I understand. She made me cut my long locks, saying I never get a part time job with that hippy hair."

I laugh. I say, "I am glad you are still talking to me after…"

Quil face turn into frown, "After what Jacob did, there is no way I could have any hard feelings towards you…'

I say, "So you believe the rumors that he may of cheated on me…'

Quil hestated and then just nods.

I say, "Quil you know something that I don't know. Don't you?"

He stutters, "I..I promise Jacob I would not say anything, but hell with it, you deserve the truth."

He takes a breath, "I know for sure he cheated on you. I had taken Seth with me to the Forks High school basketball game…they were playing against our team."

"Anyway when we got back, I noticed Jacob's rabbit in the Clearwater's driveway. I just assume she was crying to him about Sam breaking up with her for her cousin Emily. Which was pretty harsh on Sam's part to do that…but that's another story."

Oh no, he was not about to say…

Quil takes a breath, "Anyway I usually barge in Leah's room when I am there, to annoy her. So that is what I did and I found Jacob and Leah in bed…naked."

My heart sank. I was never positive rather Jacob cheated on me or not and I had felt I was over him now. Now knowing that it was true, brought the pain back.

I hold back the tears and cross my arms while dropping the car seat to the ground, "How could he do that to me…he could have at least had the decency to break up with me first."

Quil gives me a friendly hug, "You can find better guys, I know you can."

I nod and take a breath trying to compose myself; I needed to change the subject.

I ask, "So what have you been up to."

Quil puts his hands in his pocket, "Well I have met someone."

I raise an eyebrow, "You have…like a girl?"

Quil nods, "Yep. Her name is Claire."

I look around the building. "Is she here?"

Quil shakes his head, "No she does not live on the rez. She goes to Forks High actually. I met her at the basketball game, we set next to each other arguing who had the better team."

I ask, "How come you are not playing this year?"

Quil had a guilty look on his face, "I got kicked off after a little prank. Embry and I got caught."

I laugh shaking my head, "Oh you guys."

He laughs, "Well I have to go help Sue and them cut the Turkeys."

I nod and I head out side. I see Sam and Emily cuddling next to each other. I then notice Leah and Jacob keep there distance.

I wanted Jacob to admit the truth. So I take a breath and I march to him, his face brightens when he see's me coming towards him. His face expression changes when he notice mine was not too happy.

He had his long hair in a ponytail he looks at the ground, "Hey Bells."

I had my arms crossed looking at him, "Look me in the eye Jacob."

He raises his head and those chocolate brown eyes that I use to love looks at me directly in the eye.

I take a breath trying to keep calm though my voice was shaky, "Did you sleep with another girl while we were together…"

Jacob knew by my expression that I already knew, he could not deny it.

Jacob stutters, "I-I did not mean for it to happen."

He admitted it; I wanted to slap him for betraying me like that.

I try to choke up the tears, "Why?"

Jacob explains, "Leah was all emotional and then I was trying to be her friend but she came on to me and I try to control myself….but I couldn't and….I am sorry Bella. I really am…and that was the only time."

He pleads, "I love you Bella."

Tears stream down on my face, "Shut up. You never loved me. People, who love you, do not sleep with other girls…."

Jacob spits out, "Only one girl…and we were not sleeping together because you were so paranoid…"

I look at him dumbfounded, "Where could we? In your little house with your dad feet away in the other room…or my house with the door open, so my dad could catch us?"

Jacob growls, "I offered to rent out a hotel room…so we could have our privacy. You just did not want to do it with me…"

I say with as much venom as possible, "That is why you screw Leah, because I would not give it up to you in some cheap hotel room….well I am fucking glad I did not waist my virginity on some disgusting dog, like you."

I rarely ever cussed and he just looks at me in shock and hurt. He does not say anything just looks away, ashamed.

I then turn around and head back inside and dart to the bathroom. I made up my mind not to waist tears on him. I had Edward and that is who I could possibly love. I compose myself before leaving the bathroom.

Gail calls out my name, "Bella!"

I turn around and see her coming towards me with Anna. She asks, "Could you hold Anna for a second. I need to go out to the car and get some things."

I try to tell her that may not be a good idea. I mean I did not know how to hold a baby…and I am clumsy.

Gail though positions the baby in my arms, the runs out the door. I was left alone with a fragile baby in my arms. I try to position myself and made sure I was supporting the head.

I felt a little more comfortable. Anna was sleeping peacefully, she look so peaceful. She was precious. I had not spent much time with her.

I go to the table and sit in one of the chairs carefully. She was helping to get Jacob off my mind. I gaze at my baby sister. I had never consider her as my baby sister, more like Dad and Gail's baby…but she was my sister and I was going to protect her from punks like Jacob.

Emmett comes and sits beside me in one of the chairs; he looks at Anna, "She is kind of cute…"

I smile, "I know…right?"

Emmett jokes, "Who would have known that those two could make a cute kid? I mean of course Mom and Dad could make cute kids…but I didn't think those two could…"

I nod, "Yeah, lucky I guess."

Emmett says, "So I had heard the rumors about Jacob and Leah, from Paul…"

I scowl at the name of those two and say, "Yeah so?"

Emmett asks, "Are the true?"

I nod trying to fight the tears that are trying to escape.

Emmett asks, "Are you okay?"

I nod but tears started falling again. Emmett noticed.

He bangs his fist on the table, "Okay I am going to kick that son of a bitch's ass…"

It startled Anna and she started to cry

Emmett says, "Sorry Anna did not mean to scare you."

I hold her out to him, for him to take her. I figure he would refuse but he took her without hesitation.

He held her like a natural and she stopped crying.

I say, "You hold her like a pro."

Emmett gives me sly grin, "Yeah it attracts the ladies when you have a baby in your arms. So I use to go to the park with mom's friends who had babies and watch the baby while the mother's go running on the track. A guy with a baby totally attracts the females."

I roll my eyes at him. I then give him a stern look, "Do not go after Jacob tonight. I do not want to embarrass dad, since we do not actually live here we are guest."

Emmett sighs, "Fine. I won't, as long as he stays away from you."

Emmett was way overprotective.

I say to Anna in a sweet voice, "You better watch out for big brother Emmett, in the future."

Emmett says back, "I am sure you Anna will be better at choosing boyfriends…"

I roll my eyes, "You would never like any guy I date."

Emmett shakes his head, "Not true…as long as it is not Jacob Black or Edward Cullen, then I am fine." He looks over at Quil who was talking to Embry, "I saw you talking to Quil earlier, I would approve of him…"

I roll my eyes, "For one I do not need your approval for who I can date or not and 2nd he is dating someone and is more like a brother to me. I am not attracted to him."

He rolls his eyes, "You are stubborn. If you listen to me…you would be better off."

I mumble, "Whatever. If I listen to you, I would be a nun by now."

Emmett smirks, "Yes and married to God, who better. black and white would look great on you."

I playfully punch him in the shoulder and he laughs. I could not help but laugh at him.

Dad spots us and comes towards us. He seems pleased that we were getting along with one another and bonding with our new sister.

Emmett says looking up at Dad, "Hey pops. We were just talking how it is surprising how capable you are to make good looking kids."

Dad shrugs, "I guess it's a gift."

Emmett nods, "Yep. 2 out 3 is not bad."

I smirk, "Yeah Emmett is right, you made two beautiful daughters, shame that the son was not so lucky."

Emmett says, "Yeah you just keep telling your self that…"

Dad chuckles and sighs, "Yeah I am pretty lucky to have all my kids together…could not ask for anything better."

I smile and Emmett sarcastically says, "Aww. That is sweet dad."

Gail finally comes back running towards us and says, "I am sorry I got distracted by Caroline and we got to talking. How is she? Did she cry?"

Emmett says, "No, she has been fine."

Gail eagerly holds out her arms for her baby and Emmett hands Anna off to her.

Gail then seems to inspect her and the sighs in relief. I was kind of hurt that she did not seem to have much trust that we kept the baby safe.

I notice Emmett had been flipping his phone checking it. I figure he was seeing if Rosalie was calling.

I reply, "They do not have any phone service…"

Emmett sighs, "I know. I was just hoping Rose may be able to sneak off somewhere to call me."

I say, "Oh…well it is only a couple of more days."

Emmett sighs, "Yeah I know, I have been counting."

Emmett says, "So you really do not like Rose?"

I shrugged, "I do not know. I have not really talked to her…she just seems so self absorbed."

Emmett nods, "She may be a little but deep down she is a good person. You just have to get to know her."

I was having a hard time believing she may be a good person. But I nod as if I understood.

Finally dinner was served and there was enough food to feed a starving country for a year, it seemed. They did not really consider to be celebrating Thanksgiving. They were Native Americans, its not exactly a great holiday for them. They just make it as celebrations of still have their culture and tribe.

The next day I slept till 11pm. We did not get in until midnight and I did not fall asleep until later because mom called and talked about an hour. She had been staying up late because of Phil's job.

Friday, Emmett helped Dad fixed the roof and do some yard work. I helped Gail clean the house and then Angela called to go bowling with her, Jessica, Lauren, Mike, Eric, and Ben. I had forgotten that they lived in Forks too. They had though been busy with family all week. I agreed to go.

I asked Emmett if he wanted to come with me, but he didn't. Dad let me borrow his truck to go and hang out with my school friends.

I drive into the Bowling Alley's parking lot. They were all by Mike's van talking; they wave when they saw me.

Angela and Jessica both hug me, when I get out. Jessica says, "It seems like forever since we have seen you."

I felt guilty because at school I had not been spending much time with them, since I was sneaking off to be with Edward during my free time.

I nod, "Yeah I know…been busy I guess."

We head into the bowling alley.

The music was loud so you could not hear anyone unless they were right next to you. The boys were next to each other, watching each other bowled. I was sitting down between Jessica and Angela.

Jessica says, "Mike asked me out to the winter formal…I hope that is okay with you."

I look at her confused, "Why wouldn't it be okay with me."

Jessica says, "Well I thought he was going to ask you….I thought maybe you had a thing for him."

I shake my head, "No. It's fine. I hope you guys have fun."

Angela sighs, "I wish Ben would ask me."

I ask, "How come you don't ask him?"

Angela says, "Because it is the guy's job to ask the girl."

I smirk, "It is the 21st century and you are an independent woman, I think you should ask him."

Jessica nods, "I agree."

Angela bites her lip and shakes her head, "No, what if he turns me down."

Jessica says, "He won't turn you down…he is just as shy as you are…"

Then Eric yells, "Bella it's your turn."

I sigh and get up and pray I do not injure myself or anyone with the ball.

I of course throw a gutter ball.

My score was horrible the whole time but I had fun with my friends…even if Eric kept trying to hit on me. I try to ignored it.

I give Jessica and Angela a hug and tell them I will see them Sunday. They say okay and we wave goodbye.

I head back home. When I walk into the house, Emmett is passed out on the couch. I wonder why he was not sleeping in my room, but notice the TV on ESPN…he passed out watching TV.

I decide to head to my room and I get ready for bed, I was excited that I could possibly get a phone call from Edward tomorrow since they are headed back Saturday to school. His dad has to start work at Forks Hospital, Saturday night. I almost wish I could go back too, but I do not want to hurt dad's feelings and head back early.

I had a hard time falling asleep, but when I did.. I dreamed.

I hear the blinds in my room rattled. I rose up frighten. Who could be getting through my window and I could have sworn it was lock. I start to scream when I see the person coming through my window but in a flash he was by me and had his hand over my mouth.

"Bella, my love." I instantly knew that voice. It was Edward.

I turn around and his piercing green eyes were staring at me with so much lust. His lips then smash with mine, his hands roaming on every part of my body. He then is all sudden naked and so am I…he then starts kissing every part of my body and I start to moan. "Edward…"

Then I wake up, in my room. Alone. I was disappointed that it was dream and I could feel that I a certain part of my body was very wet.

I needed a cold shower, I look at the clock it was 8am. I scramble out of bed and head to the shower. I wash up and get dressed.

I then go back to my room and grab my phone before heading to the kitchen; I was surprised to have a message from Alice already. It read…You in a dress were surprising but that dress was horrible!

I reply back, Stepmom bought it for me and made me wear it.

She replies back, "You are right, she does hate you…"

I had just made it to the kitchen and I actually laugh out loud. Gail was in the kitchen too and looks at me like I am insane.

I explain, "Uh a funny text from my friend."

Gail says before sipping her coffee, "Oh what does it say?"

I shrugged, "Just a stupid joke."

Gail did not seem too interested, so she went back reading the paper. I grab a pop tart and Sunny D and head out on the porch. I knew dad was at work today and did not feel having any awkward time with Gail. I sit on the porch and eat my breakfast. Emmett soon comes out the door. He had a shotgun in his hand; I figure he was going hunting.

I say, "Going hunting?"

Emmett says, "Yep. Going to meet up with Sam."

I reply, "Have fun."

Emmett says, "Bye." Then loads up in the truck.

My phone then rings and I notice it was Edward, my heart starts beeping rapidly. I take a breath and answer, "Hello"

I hear his velvety voice on the other end, "Hey Bella. I have missed you."

I smile, "I missed you too."

Edward says, "How was your holiday?"

I say, "Boring. How about yours?"

Edward says, "Hunting and fishing was enjoyable, but not as enjoyable as it would have been if I was with you."

I smile and ask, "Where are you?"

Edward replies, "At a restaurant eating. I got done first so I am outside talking to you."

I then explain to him about Gail and the new baby.

Edward had to interrupt me in mid conversation, "I am sorry Bella. But my parents are coming; I got to get off the phone…"

I say, "Okay. I will see you tomorrow…"

Edward says on the other end, "Yeah I know…you have no idea how much I can't wait."

He then hangs up and I know I had the goofiest grin on my face.
