Chapter Thirteen:

In Infamous Jacob Black, plus the Pack

BPOV:

I made it home with Edward in one pieces (A/N: inside joke, if you wish to know, just ask), and for that I was glad. We decided our month long vacation we won would be our honeymoon, so we were pretty happy.

Today, however, we were meeting with Jacob Black, a.k.a. Jake. We had been pretty close friends before I left for LA for filming, so I didn't know what would happen. My nerves were shot, so I jumped when I heard the doorbell ring.

I ran down the stairs, and what I found surprised me. Jake was there, along with other faces I didn't recognize. I hesitantly meandered over to Jake. "Jake? Is that you? What happened to your hair?" His once long midnight black hair was now buzzed off into a much, much shorter cut.

"I...uh…cut it off. It's more convenient this way." He said, and then I noticed he was wearing cutoff jeans and sneakers. It was 40 degrees out, but to each his own I guess.

"Jake, what's up with the clothes, or lack thereof?? I know something's up, I've known you too long not to recognize it." He just looked at me.

"Bella, would you be a doll and let us in? I need to talk to Carlisle." That wasn't Jake, but he looked older, yet more practiced. O well, if it were important, they'd tell me.

I let them in, and Carlisle called to them from the living room. I could tell he called a family meeting, but that was it.

"Hello Sam. It's been a while." Carlisle told the one who just spoke to me. So Sam is his name…I thought, committing it to memory.

"Likewise, I'm sure Carlisle. But your family knows as well as mine that we have more important things to discuss. Are we doing this here?" In front of Bella, his eyes added. Carlisle nodded, and Sam sat down. The other boys who were with him followed suit. I went over to sit with Edward, well on his lap, since there were no more seats available.

"Carlisle, the elders and I have reached a decision on the treaty regarding Bella. Since you are a trusted surgeon and friend, we have lifted the no biting ban for this one cause. We all love Bella too, and if eternally damning her is the only way to ensure she lives, then we're all for it. We're well aware Charlie knows about this too, and that was one of the reasons why we Okayed it this one time." The one – Sam I think his name was – said to Carlisle.

"I thank-you Sam. I know the sacrifice you made in lifting the treaty laws for this one case and I'm eternally grateful. I know Bella misses Jake, so if it's okay with you Bella, and you Sam, is it okay if we all visit La Push? I'd like to thank Billy and Harry as well. I'm sure the kids would love to play on the beach for once, and Bella has yet to see it."

Sam nodded, after consulting with the rowdy boys. "It would be our pleasure. Bella, you will always be welcome on Quileute land, Billy made sure of that. Alright guys, let's go have some beach fun!" The guys filed out of the dining room, and Alice made a grab for me.

"Let's go Bella! Rose, we need to find her a swimsuit!" Rose grinned devilishly and rose (A/N: no pun intended) to follow. Emmett looked excited, as did Jasper; but Edward's expression worried me.

"I'll be okay Edward, promise! Relax, I'll be down in a second." I said as Alice carried me upstairs.

A/N: So I broke down. I posted this one tonight, and I will post another tomorrow. Keep in mind this one's short because a lot of fun-filled action happens in the next chapter.

A/N: I have another game for everyone!!! If you find bikini's for Rose, Alice, and Bella to wear, send me the links (with their names labeled for each) to me, and if I like them, the chapter's yours!!!!!!!

FYI: I may choose ones from different people, but never fear, you'll get credit for your work!

REMEMBER: find 'em, label 'em, send 'em! If I don't get the bikinis in order, the chapter is put on hold! DUN, DUN, DUNNNNNN ! good bikini hunting!

Peace!
