Author's Notes: Sorry everyone! I know it's been a while but I've been feeling pretty run down recently so it's been hard to get inspired. As always thanks to my wonderful beta JenJenSon and if any of you like Harry Potter check out her story it's really hot!

Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, the characters, book or film and make no money from this story it is pure fiction for fan purposes. They lyrics are from Wouldn't change a Thing from Camp Rock 2 (I am so cool). I just heard it and thought yes that is exactly Bella and Paul!

Chapter 10: Interrupted

Bella POV

Alice's eyes flickered and she seemed to stare straight through me for a moment and I wondered what she was seeing.

"He's coming here, he's mad at me for interfering." She said quietly. I knew who she meant and I felt a familiar lurch in my stomach. Edward was coming back. There was a loud knocking on the door and I reluctantly held fire on questioning Alice to answer it.

There stood in the rain and soaked through was Paul. His shorts clung to him and his hair stuck to his forehead messily.

"What are you..." I trailed off leaving the rest implied. He looked like he was going to say something but changed his mind before grabbing my arms and pulling me against him. His lips found mine in a desperate and almost brutal kiss that could only mean one of two things...either he felt the same way I did or he was saying goodbye.

"You're worth it." He mumbled against my lips in between the kisses. "Screw the treaty, the rules and the god damn stink you're worth the lot."

"Thank you." I whispered, kissing him back with just as much aggression; anything to not let the tears escape from his words.

This was probably as close to expressing feelings as Paul would ever get and I appreciated his effort. It filled my stomach with butterflies and warmth to know had cared about me. I knew I cared about him too, I knew I loved him. I don't even know how I let myself fall in love with him before I even realised it. Falling for Edward had been like wearing rose coloured glasses, a dreamlike state...with Paul it was brutally real and pulled at me from somewhere deep inside. It was like what I felt for him was somewhere in my blood, unavoidable and undeniable.

"I hope you mean that because you're about to see some fireworks." Alice said from behind us. She looked at me pointedly. "He'll be here any minute I can't believe I didn't see him until just now he must have been playing with my blind spots."

"Who?" Paul asked.

"Edward." I replied. "Just don't kill him, please."

"As much as I'd like to I think I'll let you get your piece in first." He smirked. "I'm sure you can think of plenty to say." He bent down and kissed me again, pressing me intimately against him. Alice cleared her throat and I practically leapt away from him, my cheeks heating up from my embarrassment.

Then I saw him.

Edward Cullen; stood on my driveway. He looked shocked, hurt, angry and confused all at once.

"Bella?" his beautiful voice asked uncertainly. I just nodded in response. Then he looked at Alice and I realised she must be mentally filling him in on all she knew. Edward looked like he was ready to fall to his knees and then he did.

I felt my legs moving before I realised I was running to him. I fell to my knees in front of him and reached for him as if I expected him not to be real. He looked at me and I nearly cried.

"I'm sorry." He whispered.

"Why did you come here?" I asked him, leaning back on my heels.

"I had to know if it was true...I thought you were dead." He replied. "You promised nothing stupid."

"Like you promised at the hospital not to leave me?" I snapped, standing up and turning away from him. "Edward things don't just happen because you say so."

"That's not what I meant love...and I'm mad at myself for leaving you here, especially unprotected." He sighed, getting to his feet.

"I wasn't unprotected, I'm still not unprotected." I replied, walking back towards the house.

"That pack of mutts is not protection." He hissed.

"They were better protection than you were! So don't you dare pretend you know anything!" I shouted.

"Bella, I let you down and I'm sorry love but..." he hesitated, looking between Alice, Paul and me. "I won't make that mistake again. I won't leave you here with nothing but the pack to protect you."

"I don't remember asking you to stay." I gritted out.

"Of course not, Alice and I can't stay here after all I was telling the truth when I told you we would have to leave Forks soon because of Carlisle's age." He explained. "You'll come with us of course."

"What?" I exclaimed.

"She's not going anywhere with you." Paul spat, moving in front of me. "You bloodsucking asshole! Who the hell do you think you are showing up and-"

"Paul." I interrupted, noticing his arms starting to shake. "Calm down."

"I just meant that my family and I can protect her now." Edward said calmly.

"Edward, I think it's up to Bella whether she wants to come with us or not." Alice said softly.

"You don't want her to come with us?" he asked, turning on Alice.

"Of course, I would love her to come with us." She replied. Mine and Alice's eyes met. "But only if it's what she wants. I want her to be happy and I think she's happy right where she is."

"Bella love, come with me and I promise I won't let you down again." Edward pleaded, stepping closer to us. "We can go back to how things were before."

"No." I replied. I felt the tears threatening to fall again. "Things will never be like they were before. I'm not going anywhere." I reached to take Paul's hand for strength as I finally confronted my first love. Edward stood right in front of me and leant forward.

"Bella, I love you." Edward he whispered against my cheek.

"I don't love you anymore, not the way I did." I replied, and the tears finally fell. "You're too late Edward. You could've come back sooner...but you didn't you're too late."

"I'm sorry." He murmured, reaching to take my free hand. "I'll always be waiting, in case you change your mind." He moved away from the house and headed to the car Alice had arrived in. "Alice."

"I'll come back and visit really soon Bella, I promise." Alice said, hugging me tightly.

"Tell everyone I miss them." I told her. "I'll miss you."

"You'll be fine Bella, I don't even need to see your future to see that it's going to be just fine." She smiled, heading over to the car where Edward waited for her.

I stood for a while; I watched them drive away and then just stared at the driveway. Paul wrapped his arms around my waist from behind but didn't say anything for a while.

"Bella! Paul!" a voice called shocking us out of our silent moment. I looked up; across the other side of the road Jake and Quil stood at the edge of the woods. "We need you, now!"

Paul took my hand and nearly dragged me behind him as he jogged over to Jake and Quil. "What's going on?" Paul asked.

"It's Leah, there's something...look you just need to see it." Jake said. "Bella you stink."

"Sorry." I replied.

"They're gone?" he asked.

"Yeah," I nodded, before glancing down the road Alice and Edward had just driven down. "They're gone."

"Alright, well let's get going." Jake said. "Can you carry her?" Paul nodded and I looked at them confused.

"No offence but it's going to be faster than your truck to cut through the woods." Jake explained.

"Two secs." Paul nodded, ducking behind a tree and moments later he reappeared in his wolf form. I felt slightly nervous, my head only reached his shoulder and he had always been so fierce as a wolf.

"Well climb on." Quil grinned at me. I looked up at Paul's back nervously, how in the world was I supposed to get up there? I tentatively placed my arms up onto his back and made a sort of jumping effort but ended up going nowhere and pulling his fur in the process. Quil and Jake just stood and laughed behind me causing me to turn bright red. Paul snarled at them and then looked at me to try again. I looked at him unsure and then looked around for something to stand on. Paul rolled his eyes and squatted down so that his belly was on the ground.

I reluctantly climbed onto his back and tried to get myself comfortable. I grabbed hold of his fur as he got up again and a small squeak escaped my throat. The other two had disappeared to phase themselves as Paul took a few steps forward to test how well balanced I was.

"This OK?" I asked, still holding his fur in my hands. He didn't reply, instead his body leapt forward as he began to run and I desperately tried to find ways to hold on as he powered through the trees.

By the time we reached La Push my knuckles were white and aching where I'd been holding on so tight. Paul stopped suddenly and then sat down. I tried to hold on but there was no way that was going to happen. So instead I slowly slid down his back until I landed on my butt on the ground and rolled back onto my back with my legs in the air looking extremely undignified. I could hear the laughter in Paul's bark as he phased back and marched towards Emily's house.

"Paul Lassik! Put some clothes on!" I heard Emily shout. Paul just laughed and as I watched his bare butt marching into Emily's house I couldn't help but laugh too.

By the time we were all gathered in Sam and Emily's house and all the boys had clothes on, or shorts at least; the problem was very apparent. We all just stared at Leah sat on one of the kitchen chairs eating a piece of chicken.

"How is that even possible?" I asked, gesturing to Leah.

"We were actually hoping since your...friends had stopped by town maybe you'd be able to ask the doctor. We can't take her to a doctor, they'd freak out." Sam replied.

"I don't understand, this isn't normal for wolves then?" I asked.

"No, well at least not a male wolf knocking up a human...the only female wolves in our history were apparently baron so no...not normal." Jake explained.

"I am here you know." Leah spoke up. "I don't suppose you've got anymore chicken have you? I've starving."

I just stared at Leah's huge swollen stomach, going by her dates she couldn't be more than six weeks pregnant; not that I was an expert on babies but I'd studied child development at school. The problem...Leah looked like she was a full eight or nine months pregnant. Her stomach stuck out of her shirt, her skin was tight and hard with evidence of a few stretch marks to the sides of her stomach from the sudden growth of her bump. Her boobs had even grown considerably.

"So do you think the Cullen doctor would help us?" Embry asked, from where he sat close to Leah.

"I can ask. I've got Alice's phone number at the house. When I get home I can ring and find out..." I replied.

"We've even spoken to the elders and apparently there isn't a single tribe story even close to this." Leah said, pointing to her stomach. "I would have to be one of a kind huh?" Emily passed her the plate back with some more chicken on it. Growing a whole person in a matter of weeks had to run up an appetite.

"How about the internet?" I asked. "What if there are other tribes like this one? Even if you guys have never seen anything like it maybe someone else out there has."

"Not a bad idea...Jared would you go see Kim and ask if you can use her computer?" Sam asked. Jared nodded and was out the door pretty fast.

"We should go home and I'll ring Alice." I said to Paul. I blushed slightly; I hadn't meant to say home that way it sounded. Obviously it was my home but I hadn't meant to make it sound like we actually lived together. I glanced at Paul nervously but he didn't even to appear to have noticed. He just agreed and told me to wait for a minute while he had a word with Jake and he and Jake disappeared out the front door onto the porch.

"Come on then." He said, sticking his head back inside.

"Alright, I'll see what I can do." I said to everyone. "Let me know if there's any change or if Jared and Kim find anything."

"Later guys." Paul called. I went out onto the porch where Jake and Paul stood waiting, I went over to Jake and wrapped my arms around his stomach. He hugged me back and I nearly cried.

"Aw Bells..." he murmured, squeezing me tighter.

"I don't ever want to fight with you guys." I told him, from where my face was buried in his chest.

"Hey, we're sorry too." He replied, he disentangled himself from me and glanced over to Paul. "Have it back in the morning and if you break it you bought it!" I followed Paul down the porch steps as Jake disappeared inside.

"Break what?" I asked.

"His car." Paul grinned, unlocking the door and gesturing for me to get in. "I figured now that we know it's not so urgent you could do with a softer ride home."

"You haven't been in Jake's car have you?" I laughed, as we started bumping down the road. "And it's still urgent...I think they were just panicking."

"Too right, she's like our sister." Paul replied. "And it's freaky."

"And you have no objections to Carlisle being her best option?" I asked.

"If you trust him, then I trust you." He replied carefully.

"That's good to know." I said quietly, looking out of the window.

Paul POV

By the time we reached the house Bella was asleep. I went around and unstrapped her before lifting her awkwardly from the car. Once inside I took her straight upstairs and placed her in bed before heading back downstairs. I found the number in the living room on the coffee table; just the word 'Alice' and the number below it. I looked at it for a while before I sighed and took it to the kitchen.

"The things I do for these bloody women..." I muttered.

"Hello?" a voice answered on the other end.

"Cullen?" I asked.

"Yes." The female voice replied, it was the same one I was sure of it.

"My name's Paul, we met earlier."

"I remember," she confirmed. "Is Bella alright?"

"Bella's fine, I actually needed to speak with the doctor." I told her.

"We're not home yet, but I can give him a call to relay the message." She replied. "You'll be at Bella's?"

"Yeah." I replied.

"Then I'll get him to call." She said.

"Uh thanks." I said awkwardly, before she hung up. I dropped the phone back onto its hanger before getting a drink. This had been one crazy day.

I went upstairs to check on Bella who was still sleeping. I carefully slid into the bed next to her and got comfortable myself. I stared at her for a while; she was adorable when she was asleep and completely relaxed. She snuggled closer to me, her face pressing against my chest.

"I do love you, you know that." I murmured, kissing her hair.
