Ok, this is a little late, but hey better now then never. I'm kinda stuck in a rut, I sorta know where I want to go with this, but not really. I do know Bella's husband will come into the picture sooner or later, and will kick up a huge fuss, and a big battle will happen as always, but I need some side things to happen and I'm drawing up blanks. So, any idea's just throw them at me.

Chapter 3

I watched as shock, apprehension, anger, and resolve filtered over his usually stoney face. Emily was silent next to him, looking like she had already figured it all out. Maybe she did? Who knows, as long as she kept quiet as I told my story.

"Nothing. My mother got pregnant, she made him marry her, and he took off when I was 2." Sam told me. I nodded and looked back over at the ocean. The waves were strangly calming. I felt like I could relate to the ocean. It was calm and serene, but it could turn into a stormy death trap in seconds. That was me. A death trap. A walking trouble magnet. Or so I've been told.

"When I left here, I really had no where to go. I won't go into all my sordid details, but I basically drove till my truck blew up. I was somewhere in North Texas and I fell in love with the place. Problem was no one wanted to hire me cause I needed to finish High School. I called up my mom and lived with her for a few more months then I went back to Texas.

"About 6 months after I left, I was at a bar with a few friends. In walks a this guy who somehow looks like he belongs back up at La Push. We got to talking, he told me his name was Levi, then we got to drinking, then well, you know. I woke up the next morning in a hotel room by myself. Two weeks later I bribed the owner of the bar to dig out his credit card reciepts to get his full name. I about had a heart attack when I heard his last name.

"I called in a few favors from people who I really didn't want to contact again, and had him traced to a small town in south Texas just north of the Mexico border. I told him I was pregnant, we got hitched. Not long after I had the Twins, he started to beat me. Never touched the kids. He loved those kids. It was just me. But a few weeks ago, he was at it again. Lena.....she got in the way. She came running from the other room and got in between us just when he.....I was never so scared in my life."

They were silent for the most part. Emily was curled up in Sam's arms. Sam looked like it was taking everything in his power to keep his form. I let it soak in for a moment, and when Sam started to relax, I continued.

"Your probably wondering what this has to do with your father, Sam. I knew he had to be related to you somehow. When you carried me out of the woods, all I remembered were your eyes. He had the same eyes. Only harsher somehow. The same voice too. His father's name is Joshua Uley. Levi is about 5 years older than you. So yes, those kids over there are your neice and nephew. I am your sister in law. I guess. I haven't had time to file for divorce. I don't want him knowing where I am."

Standing up, I glanced at them one more time. They looked like they were communicating with their eyes. I longed for that kind of love. I thought I had it once, but I don't think it really was. If Edward was truly, deeply, irrevocibly in love with me, then he wouldn't have been able to walk away so easily.

I started walking back down the beach to the bon-fire. But as I walked, I thought about the momen when I realized that Edward had lied to me when he left. The Twins were just over a year old. Charlie had called to ask me some ridiculous question. Starting out with, 'If you wanted to hide things, I would have gotten you a safe. You didn't have to rip up the floorboards'. I of course had no idea what the hell he was talking about. Seems he found some things under the floorboards of my old room.

Falling to the floor, I let out a sob. Charlie had to scream through the phone to get my attention again. That night I layed in bed, and came to realize that Edward was truly a good actor. But not perfect. I should have seen it before. The flicker in his eyes that lasted a split second before he turned from me forever. At the time, it seemed foreign. But it was not. It was the same thing I seen in his eyes that night in Pheonix. When I was in the hospitol. The heartbreaking pain, of seeing the one you love in pain.

He didn't want to leave me. I guess he thought he was doing it for my own good. A lot of good that did. A normal human life. Yeah, right. When have I ever been normal. I had a vampire ex-boyfriend. A werewolf ex-bestfriend. A abusive werewolf husband, and my son ran the chance of turning into one once he hit puberty if the conditions were right.

Sighing, I looked at the bon-fire as it came into sight. Charlie was keeping a hawk eye on the kids. Logan was chatting with Sams son, never did get his name, and Lena was balacing a plate on her lap, and shoving the food in her mouth like she was part Hoover instead of wolf.

Billy had one of the giant men push him over to me. We were about 50 feet from the fire, so normal people had no chance of hearing us. Sam and Emily should be coming soon after they digest the whole story.

"Get it situated?" Billy asked. I nodded and ran my hand over my face letting out a breath. Billy reached out and took my hand. I looked down at him wide-eyed. Yes, Billy was a little more touchy than Charlie ever was, but only with his own family.

"Bella, it will be ok. You don't have to worry about anything while your here. And your more than welcome to stay here for how ever long you want. The boys will take care of anything that happens."

"Thank you, Billy. That means a lot." He gave me a meaningful look, then glanced over his shoulder at the man that had pushed him over. "This is Seth. Sue's son. You've probably heard about him."

"Pleased to meet you, Seth." I told him. He was a good bit over 6 foot. And he looked a lot like a minerature Jake. From the shit eating grin on his face, to the way he was bouncing on his heels. It reminded me of all those times Jake and I hung out in his garage messing with our bikes.

"You too. I've heard a lot about you. Cool kids you got there." I smiled and looked over to see that Lena was now engrosed in a glaring contest with a tall woman. It didn't look like either one was going to crack anytime soon. Logan was waving wildly in the air and talking excitedly about something with Paul, and who I could guess was Rachel was looking on with a smile, while holding a little boy on her lap.

"Yeah, they are something."

After I ate, I seen that Billy was sitting next to Sue, and and Old man that looked like he ready to croak if someone said, Boo. Everyone started sitting down and looking over at them. I gathered up Logan and Lena and took a seat next to Sam. He gave me a grin, letting me know everything was fine.

When Billy started talking, it was like the world disappeared. I could almost see everything play out in front of my eyes. I knew the basics about the Pack, but the legends and everything else I had never knew. Levi had no one to tell him what he was. I was actually the one to tell him that he got it from his father and that there was a Pack living in La Push, Washington. I didn't know for sure, but everything added up. The snuffling I heard right before Sam found me. Emily's 'bear' attack. Embry leaving, then Jake. Their growth and the fact that they were build the same as Levi. I told Levi what Jake had told me about the cold ones, and he had told me that he smelled them right after he shifted for the first time, but never had to fight one. That the smell got worse the closer you got to Mexico.

But now, listning to how these men put their lives on the line, every day, for the people they love, I almost wished that I could leave. I knew Levi would come for me. He wasn't stupid. He would know that they only place that I would run to would be here. He knew all about my past.

I didn't realize I was crying at the end of the Third Wifes sacrifice till Sam handed me a tissue. I glanced down at my babies. They were both curled up next to me, past out dead to the world. Logan was a direct desendant. If the Pack was still phasing after 6 years, that means that the threat of vampires is still here. It would only be another 10 maybe a little more years before Logan began to phase too. My mind went back to the soul mate part. Did the wolves have soul-mates?

Looking at Sam, I could see the love in his eyes when he looked at Emily. It was unlike anything I had ever seen before. I looked around, and seen the same in Paul's eyes as he looked at Rachel. Jared as he looked at his wife. Quil was holding an 8 year old girl on his lap as she slept and he was staring at her with such intensity. It looked like he would maul anyone or anything if they even thought about hurting her. I noticed that Seth kept on glancing over here, but didn't really pay much attention to him. My eyes locked with eyes that were so dark brown that they seemed black.

Jacob was staring at me with the same intensity as the others were, and it confused me. If there were such thing for them, and I was Jacobs, then he wouldn't have told me that he didn't want me anymore. He wouldn't have told me that everything was my fault. It wasn't my fault the Cullens moved here in the first place. I wasn't even here at the time. If anything he should be thankful. They moved away because of me.

Looking away, I noticed that people were starting to get up and gather their sleeping kids. I stood up and stretched my arms over my head. I felt the bones in my back crack. I cringed from the sound and picked up Logan first.

I buckled him into his booster seat and turned around to get Lena only to come face to chest with Seth. Who was carrying Lena, in a way that could only be described as loving. I frowned but nodded at him. I still didn't know what was going on with that. I would save judgement till I knew for sure.

I did know, that if anyone tried to take my daughter from me, they would have worse things to fear than vampires, and evil wolves. A mother's wrath was nothing to be pushed aside. We can be visious when it came to our children. God, help anyone who threatened them.

The next morning was pure hell. Ever try to get a 4 year old to the docters where they know there will be pain? Yeah, I ended up having to carry Lena kicking and screaming, literally, into the hospitol where everyone was staring at us, like I was some bad mother. My face was beat red, and I think I ended up with more bruises from her flying fists, then I had all through out my clumzy adolesent years.

She finally passed out in the examination room, while we were waiting. I'm so glad, I had Charlie watch Logan for me. Looking around the room, brought back some memories. All the times I was in here for something or another. I only hope, Logan isn't as bad as me. Lena takes too much after their father.

The door opened, and I turned around to come eye to eye with a pair of bright topaz eyes. I took in the blond hair, and pale complexion. He had a timid smile on his face and was holding a clip board.

"Carlisle. What are you doing here?"

"Alice, seen you here with your daughter, and thought that you might like my expertiese."

"Alice. Of course. I should have known. Does anyone know that your here?" He knew who I was asking about. That's the last thing I needed was for Edward to come running back.

"No. Just Alice, and Esme. Now, tell me what happened." He asked while looking over the Doctors notes that I had transferred from Texas. I seen his eyes widen a few times, and an eyebrow rose when he was done.

"Bear attack. We were camping, and I guess it was attracted by the food."

He didn't look at me, but his shoulders were tense as he pulled the bandage off Lena's back. She twitched a few times, but stayed knocked out. When the bandage was all the way off, he inhaled, and whipped his head up to look at me.

"Want to tell me again, Bella, what happened? This wasn't done by a bear. I have seen these wounds before, and it was not a bear."

"Carlisle, please." I begged. I didn't want to get into this. I didn't want to say it out loud, as if saying it would make it more real. Like I didn't already live in a world full of mythical beings.

"Bella, did this happen in La Push? Who did this? I thought you were in Texas?"

"It happened in Texas. This is the reason we are here. Please, Carlisle. Not here, not now. Just make sure she is ok."

He nodded and brought out a pair of surgical scissors, and a alcohol swab. He started on her left shoulder and worked his way down to her right hip. It took around and hour, only because she woke up halfway through and started to throw another fit.

As I pulled up to my dad's house to pick up Logan, I noticed a car I had never seen before sitting in front of his house. Lena was asleep again, and she was in the back seat. I decided to just run in and get Logan. I would tell my father that I would call him later. But I still didn't know who that car belonged to. It wasn't that old, but it wasn't new either. It looked like a early 90's Ford something or another.

Just as I raised my hand to knock on the door, it opened and I came face to chest with the one person I really didn't want to see at the moment. Really, I would go face to face with Levi in wolf form, before I wanted to talk to the one and only Jacob Black.
