Chapter 4

BPOV

I watched Jacob leave with Leah heading in the direction of the elders hut in the middle of the reservation. My curiousity was definetly piqued, but I knew that he would tell me what was going on once he could. Jacob, and I prided ourselfs on not keeping things from one another. It helped keep misunderstandings at bay, and considering all the close calls we had been through in the past we thought it best to avoid anything that could cause an issue.

I followed Alice through the crowd of misfits wrestling and cracking jokes all over the lawn. I got a few good natured cat calls for my outfit, I shrugged them off knowing fully well that Jake had liked it. The fact that his eyes had lit when he saw me was good enough for me. We walked inside and to the kitchen finding Emily melting over the stove. Her extremly pregnant belly extended out touching the stove front as she added the seasoning to the huge pot of chilli she was making.

"Emily how about you let me and Alice take over and you get off your feet for a few." I said walking over and hugging her. Emily hugged me back giving a slight shiver then moving off to sit down rubbing her feet in her hands. "Thanks Bella I was really starting to feel the exhaustion, I had hoped you would show up, your always so good to lend a hand when its needed. These boys are great about protecting us, but they are useless for anything domestic." She said with a laugh.

I began stiring in the chilli powders, adding the hot peppers, the boys liked things spicy. I had already seperated a smaller pot of the chilli for the ladies and of course Emily whose pregnant body recently decided it didnt like the spicy food anymore. Alice was sitting next to Emily graciously brushing her damp hair from her face with her cold fingers. I guess the kitchen was probably pretty hot for a human, given it was summer and the stove was on. I walked over and cracked the window allowing the cool breeze to flow across the room.

I added the finshing touchs to the chilli, as I pulled out the huge packs of hot dogs in the fridge tossing them out the back door to a waiting Sam who was heading out with a cooler of drinks to take to the beach. He caught it his instincts still right on even though he had stopped phasing when Jacob had taken over as alpha. "Im going to take the guys down to the beach, and have them help set things up. You keep an eye on my lady try not to let your pixie friend eat her." Sam joked as he tossed the cooler in the back of his truck, and boys started climbing in the truck bed.

I waved him to go on with a promise to guard her with my life from all forms of vampire feinds. Jasper and Emmett walked in the room as Sam and the pack left. They took the large pots of chilli and as Jasper gave Alice a quick peck on the lips I saw a sad look in Emmett's eye before he turned to walk back out the door. I felt the ache in my chest for the loss I had caused his family. Quickly I shrugged it off, yes my involvement in the Cullen's life had helped to shape the events that had transpired, but I refused to allow myself to take the fault for Rose and Edward's choices.

I moved to take a seat next to Emily watching her hand move across her stomach in slow circles. "How are you feeling Emily? You are getting close to your time right?" I asked. "I am feeling pretty good all things considered, I have another month if that before I give birth to the twins." She smiled and gave a little jump which had me on my feet instantly. "I'm fine Bella really it's just the baby kicking." She reached out taking my hand and placing it on her stomach. I felt the slight flutter under my fingertips, a smile stretching across my face.

"Do you regret your fate Bella?" She asked as she saw the look I had on my face while I marveled over her pregnant stomach. "Oh no. I think it's a wonderful blessing your having these twins, knowing that I will watch them grow. I don't regret it at all. I am happy with my life, I had decided that I didn't want to be a vampire once I had chosen Jacob. But everything has worked out so wonderfully I wouldn't have my life any other way now." I removed my hand and stood as the sound of a car caught my attention.

"Dad!" I yelled running outside and hugging him close. I hadn't know he was coming tongiht. Another reason for me to be grateful with my fate. Billy, and Jake had explained everything to my dad soon after my accident. He had been shocked and so frightened of all of us for awhile. I had feared losing him forever, but then he had showed up at the Cullen's a few weeks after my transformation wanting to tell me how sorry he was that he had behaved the way he did. Now after all this time it was as if nothing had changed we were closer than ever.

He hugged me for a second pulling away to look over my outfit. "Alice?" He asked with a chuckle. "Yeah, I can't fight her she loves it so much." I smiled when he nodded and turned to hug the pixie who had him wrapped around her little finger more now than ever before. Alice struck up a converstation with him as they left to pick up Sue, she was giving him tips about the vision of a date she had foresaw between them. Yes my life was something truely amazing.

I watched the light slowly fading from the sky, and turned to head back into the house to sit with Emily until Sam came back for her. I caught a faintly familiar scent as I opened the door. Shocked to find Emily sitting next to Tanya. I was stunned at first not sure what she was doing here. "I was hoping it would be you." She smiled at me her smile not reaching her cold black eyes. "Tanya? What are you doing here? Does Carlise know that you are here?" I asked. She laughed a low laugh, and reached out to grab Emily's wrist causing her to gasp. I moved forward, only to stop as she tugged Emily up to her body.

"No no Bella, no closer. I wanted to come, to see what kind of life you are living now without dear Eddie." She placed a hand over Emily's extended stomach making Emily instinctively wrap her arms around her growing belly trying to sheild her unborn children. I looked into Emily's eyes and thought at her hoping she would understand I would never let Tanya harm her. She seemed to know what I ment to convey with my eyes as she nodded her head. I watched while Tanya continued speaking. "Did he ever tell you of the time we had spent together before you Bella? Of how much I loved him, how I begged him to chose me over you?" She said the last with a saddness. "I knew of you a little yes. I knew you wanted him, but he didn't feel the same for you. I am sorry that he couldn't return your love." I spoke to her in a gentle voice trying to calm her hoping to distract her away from Emily.

It seemed that it was working as she lifted both hands away from Emily for a second to scream at me. "You have no idea how he felt about me you stupid bitch. He loved me back he wanted me until he found his singer. It was your blood you stupid fool never you." She hissed the words at me. I moved forward taking advantage of her second of weakness. I threw myself at her as Emily fell to her knees trying to get away. I struck Tanya with a fist in her face which in effect caused her to fly into the screen door and land in the yard. I followed her throwing punches as she clawed and hissed pulling my hair.

I roared as she tore a large gap of hair from my head and clawed her nails down my cheek. I could feel my skin cracking. I brought my leg behind hers knocking her feet out from under her. I turned when I heard Emily behind me on the back porch steps. Tanya took in my need to protect her and changed her game plan. Stalking me, trying to find a way around me to get to Emily. "I will kill you first." I hissed at her.

Emily let out a blood curdling scream which I was sure had altered all the pack of danger. I kept fighting as Tanya lept landing on me and began slamming my head into the ground repeatedly. I grabbed her long blonde hair pulling out a large chunk. "Two can play that game bitch," I hissed at her. Taking a cue from the pack I lifted my legs and got the leverage I needed to throw her off me. Only one problem with that move, she didn't land where I had intended. Instead she was closer to Emily now, and she moved in for the kill speeding to her. I knew I wouldn't get their in time. I was fast but she had the advantage.

I looked at Emily's hand covering her stomach as she saw her death coming to her and her babies. Something snapped inside me at that point. It was as if I had been a rubberband stretched and tugged and then it finally snapped releasing its sting. I don't know how I did it but Emily was suddenly hidden behind a clear greenish blue wall. Almost as if a plate of bullet proof glass had been placed between her and Tanya. I watched everything happen as if in slow motion. Tanya hit the wall with all her might. She slammed against it and came to a hard stop the metallic screech of her skin cracking as her hands slammed into it over and over.

She beat at it repeatedly, but my wall held firm. I wanted to move forward to go after Tanya, but I feared that if I did anything the protection I had built around Emily would crumble and fail. I heard a wailing howl and then the pounding of feet, as the pack came charging to the rescue. Tanya heard it then too, she made the choice looking at me. "It's not over Bitch. I will come back and next time it won't be this little human I go after." She threw the words at me and turned racing to the trees the wolfs chasing after her.

I saw Emily her eyes filled with tears sit slowly on the steps of the back porch. Seeing her safe allowed me to shut down. I fell to my knees taking in deep pulls of air. Feeling out of breath even though I didnt actually breathe. I had not felt this weak even once since becoming a vampire.
