A/N. ok so this chapter just kinda popped up in my head today, I find the whole situation absolutely hilarious, plus it kinda goes with the sequel. If I'm not mistaken dogs were often familiars to magical people but I'm not entirely sure. I read it in a boOkthat was anti-Wicca and witchcraft so it might have been played up. I'm such a nutcase; I read crap like that to expand my brain. I hope you read and enjoy. Special thanks to everyone who continues to read, review, and add. It makes me want to update quicker!

"Don't Eat the Puppy"- Chapter Six

Bella's Point of View

It's the middle of July and here I am putting around. I still can't find a job, and Alice tells me that due to the financial state of the world I'm not going to be able to find one until the Christmas holidays. The Cullen's swear up and down that I am not a burden, and they are even encouraging me to write. Alice tells me that if I finish my novel then I hit it big. I am not sure if I like the idea though. The fact that someone else besides me is criticizing my work freaks me out.

I was lying on my couch, typing up yet another chapter in a novel that will probably never leave my computers hard drive, when Ryan sauntered in. He had taken the fancy footwork from his father, not necessarily a surprise. He sat next to me on the floor and stared at me. I knew he wanted something and was trying to come up with a decent way to ask. Whatever it was was going to make me feel uncomfortable.

"Momma," he does know how to speak, "can I get a puppy."

I almost chocked on my own spit. The idea of bringing an animal into the house is comical to say the least. "Ryan, you do understand you are asking me to let you bring an animal into a house that eats animals like that as a snack right? I'll talk to Carlisle and Esme if you want me too, but I can not make any guarantees."

He looked hopeful. He told me thank you and bolted down the stairs, presumably to talk to Alice. The kid loved to shop, so they went almost everywhere together.

I shut down my trusty Dell and try to think of a way of asking for this. It was an odd request to say the least. I figured I would talk to Edward first and then we would bring it up together with Carlisle and the rest of the family.

"Kitty, come here." Edward hated the nickname I gave him with a passion, mainly because it stuck and everyone called him it. I called him Kitty for two reasons. One was because he purred like a kitten every time I rubbed his head, two was for the fact he was kind of a pussy. Seriously what kind of vamp was afraid of spiders? He entered my room with a scowl on his face.

"Aww, is that anyway to greet your beautiful girlfriend." His angry face went away and he kissed me softly on the mouth.

"I really wish you wouldn't call me that. It's not like Emmett doesn't have enough material to tease me with." He replied taking me to the bed and pulling me in front of him so we could cuddle. "What did you want to talk to me about? Hopefully its not about my fears again, I'm never going to live that down am I?"

"Nope," I said popping the "P" with an evil smirk on my face. "Actually I want to discuss a matter our lovely son has brought to my attention." I love to make him squirm.

"Is he hurt? Sick? Dying? Does he need a kidney transplant, because I know Carlisle can get him on the express list." Ever the worry wart, does he not know that his son is half IMMORTAL? He makes me giggle.

"Ryan is fine. He actually asked for something that I need to get your permission about." I told him beating around the bush.

"He can have anything; I don't see why you have to run it by me."

"This I actually do and I have to ask the rest of the family as well. I need your input first and foremost though." My phone beeped and I looked at the message Alice had sent me. LOL. You have my permission Bella.

"Spit it out Bells. My curiosity is killing me."

"Ryan entered my room this morning and had a very interesting request. He asked for a puppy. I told him that I would have to run it by everyone else before he got a definite answer. Alice already gave me her permission, and he is probably already bouncing up and down in anticipation."

"Doesn't that seem a bit odd? We eat animals, and not in a humane way. Granted no one has ever lost control and eaten a family pet, but it would be the ultimate test of control. We already have human living here, I don't know if we can bring a puppy in without incident."

"It's better then a cat. At least we won't have to clean a litter box, and I think it might be a good thing for him. A dog would be a good addition to the family, after all a home isn't a home without a pet." I was hoping he would say yes, a puppy didn't sound like a half bad idea.

"I would have to see the puppy before hand and it has to be a big dog, not an ankle bitter. I think we should go discuss this with everyone else before we make a decision."

We moseyed down to the living room where everyone was already gathered, with the exception of Ryan and Alice of course. They all looked at Edward expectantly and tried to get him to speak up.

"Ryan has recently asked for something odd. He has asked for a puppy." This statement sent Emmett into short booming laughs that I'm sure could be heard in Antarctica. I couldn't blame him. It was funny, I mean vampires living in house with their natural food source. Wait, I was their natural food source. I finally get all the jokes at my expense.

"What are we running some vampire buffet? First Bella, now an animal that is almost destined to hate us due to its roots." Rosalie commented the girl makes sense.

"I think a puppy would be cool, but it is ultimately up to Mom and Pops. What do you say old man? Can we get yet another creature we will be tempted to feed upon?" Emmett asked.

Carlisle and Esme were curled on the love seat, smiles on their faces trying not to laugh. Esme whispered something in Carlisle's ear and he finally spoke, "Kids I think that it would be OK. It's not the most brilliant idea you have ever had, but it might be beneficial for Ryan in the long run. Just don't bring in a dog that is less then fifty pounds. It might not be able to hold its own."

I turned to Jasper wanting his opinion. "It's fine with me, as long as I'm not the one cleaning up the waste."

Emmett and Rose nodded their heads, agreeing with the rest of the family. And so the search begins for the perfect puppy.

Two weeks and about million breeders later, I am outside a small breeding facility in Anchorage. I hope that they have a puppy that won't try and tear the Cullen's limb from limb. In all of the pet stores and breeders that I have been too, the dogs all went crazy. I can understand why. Dogs are the descendants of the wolf, the wolf is a vampires natural enemy, like I said makes sense.

We have the day planned out to visit three breeders, one for each labs, Alaskan malamutes, and Siberian huskies. It is set up so I go and visit with the breeders first to make sure the parents aren't vicious naturally, and then I bring back the vampires. Normally what happens at this point all the dogs go crazy trying to decapitate the poor creatures and we have to leave. We just need to find one dog that likes us and we will know we have found the right one. I just hope that it is today. Puppy searching is exhausting.

First I brought my family to the lab and husky breeders, to say that it was a disaster would be an understatement. On our final stop, I felt slightly crestfallen. Before we even got out of the Hummer the dogs were already going crazy. I had discussed the matter with the owners previously and they had the puppies waiting for us in a playpen.

We got out of the car and walked to pen, the snarling welcoming us. I had Ryan and Edward approach the pen. We would know immediately if the puppies wanted nothing to do with us. Once they reached the pen all but one of the puppies went into defense mode. The one who didn't looked at Ryan wagging his tail and whining to be held. Well that was an improvement.

"Hello, Miss Swan," the breeder welcomed us with a smile." I see what you mean by dogs not liking the rest of your family. Normally the big oafs love everything that comes through the door."

Taking her statement as an apology I replied, "It's not a problem Mrs. Smith. We have gotten used to it. Can I see the little one that isn't trying to attack. He looks perfect for us."

"That little guy is actually sold. I'm so sorry." My heart fell to my feet. I couldn't believe it. We finally found a puppy that liked us and he already had a home. I looked hopefully at Carlisle maybe he could help.

"Mrs. Smith, I'm not sure what my daughter has told you about our family, but we are more then willing to pay anything for this puppy. If he likes us and is willing to play I want to take him home. We have looked at hundreds of dogs and he is the first that hasn't tried to bite." Carlisle dazzled the poor woman with his smile making her lose her train of thought.

"I guess that it would be ok. All of the puppies look almost identical anyways, I'm sure they wouldn't know the difference, however I must ask for double if you do decide to take him." The vampire charm works wonders when the human is not cowering in fear.

We took the puppy out of the enclosure and sat in a circle in the grass. The puppy would run to each of us, sniff, and start to lick. He was the perfect one. The person he spent the most time with was Ryan. I could tell that he was already bonding with the little dog and that it would be a slap in the face to not take him home with us.

"How much do you want for him?" I heard Edward ask.

"Three thousand up front." Everyone gasped. I knew he was going to be expensive, and he isn't even show quality. His eyes are the wrong color.

Edward nodded and pulled out a checkbook. He signed his name with a flourish and grabbed the puppy. "Take this. Thank you for your generosity, and we will keep in touch. I am sure that you have already filled out your portion of the paperwork."

Mrs. Smith grabbed a stack of papers and handed them over, smiling at us. "Your health guarantee, AKC registration, and warranty are all in that stack. Please do not hesitate to call me if you have any questions. Enjoy him, he certainly is something special."

Edward put the puppy down to grab my hand, and the little fur ball ran straight to Ryan, giving him a look of mischief. They ran to the Hummer together and we headed back to North Pole, stopping every few hours to take a potty break for the puppy.

Once we were back in town everyone left to hunt besides Edward, Ryan, and me. We headed to Petco to get all the supplies. We took and hour choosing everything for the puppy and once we got to the engraving machine I panicked. I had no idea what we were going to name the puppy. He couldn't go by little turd forever, he was going to reach almost a hundred pounds.

The puppy is white, gray, and black with brown highlights. He is a total fluffball, with eyes that resemble Ryan's. They are ice blue, denim, and black. The puppy looks like a baby wolf, I need to get Ryan and Edwards opinion to see what they want to name him.

"I want to call him Rudi." Ryan smiled at me.

"I agree," said Edward and I at the same time.

We engraved the tag to read Rudi and headed to the house. It was time the little monster, started to have his fun.

End Notes- Thank you for reading my entirely not plausible chapter. I ensure you there will not be anymore like this for awhile. To make up for it I think I will try to get an idea for an chapter focused on Edward and Bella. If I can get a good one I will post it today as well. As always thank you for reading. I hope you find it in your heart to review! By the way Rudi means famous wolf.
