"Sam,
this isn't my cell phone." Dekan said, coming into the living
room that afternoon, having just woken up. Sam was in the living room
watching television with Emily. "Oh, good afternoon Emily."
"I guess its Jake's phone. He must have mixed them up last night. Just switch phones when he comes over for dinner." Sam replied.
"Good afternoon, sleepyhead. I saved you some brunch, it's in the microwave." Emily said, snuggling with Sam.
"Thanks, Emily. Hey Sam, is it okay if Emily totally breaks up with you and marries me? I've never eaten food this good." Dekan said, heating up the food in the microwave. Emily chuckled and Sam almost spewed the soda he was drinking out of his nose. Dekan and Emily both started laughing hard. Sam wiped his face, coughing a little, and then laughing.
"I don't know, Dek, she's a little hell cat." Sam said, loving the blush that crept up on Emily's face. Embry walked in just as Sam replied; he stopped and gave Sam a 'what-in-the-hell?' face. Sam chuckled and shook his head.
"Kinky." was all the Dekan said in reply. "Hi, Embry."
"Hey…and I don't think I really want to know what the convo was before I came in." Embry said, sitting on the only chair left in the living room. Dekan would either have to sit in the floor or on the arm of his chair; this made Embry smile in his head. He had plans of telling the whole pack of his feelings for Dekan tonight after dinner. Dekan took her plate out of the microwave and walking into the living room, looking around. Not seeing a seat, she made to sit in the floor before Embry stopped her.
"Here, sit here." he offered, getting up and allowing Dekan to sit in the chair he had occupied. Dekan smiled and sat down in the chair, Embry sitting on the arm of the chair, brushing against Dekan. He was in heaven.
"Thanks, Embry. Do you want the sausage? I'm not a big fan of." Dekan said, holding her plate up to him. Embry looked like Christmas had come early; but looked at his hands.
"I'd love it, but I have to go scrub my hands first; I've been working on my truck." Embry said, making to get up.
"Well, here, something to do while you scrub." Dekan said, picking up a sausage and holding it up to Embry's mouth. "I promise I haven't been working on any vehicles lately." she added, smiling. Embry's eyes went a little wide. Dekan didn't even see Sam's and Emily's reactions; their jaws had dropped and their eyes went wide. Embry opened his mouth and gently took the sausage from Dekan's hand, his mouth closing around her fingers, closing his eyes, savoring the taste of not only the food but her skin. A small little jolt went through the both of them, Dekan jerking her hand back quickly.
"Stupid static electricity. I'm sorry if I shocked you, Embry." Dekan said, shaking her hand. Embry touched his lips softly, looking over at the surprised faces of Sam and Emily. Sam raised an eyebrow and Embry nodded once, quickly.
"Embry, can I talk to you outside?" Sam said, getting up and heading for the door. Embry sighed and nodded, getting up.
"Here, might as well take this one too, Embry." Dekan said, holding the other sausage. Embry leaned down, taking the sausage from her, this time licking her fingers. Dekan pulled her hand back, watching him go outside. Emily just smiled, knowing what it all meant.

Emily and Dekan had just finished setting the dinner on the kitchen counter when the gang walked in. Dekan had changed her clothes to what Alice had given her the day before and it was immediately noticed. Seth walked in, smiled and headed over to where Dekan was sitting, intent on sitting beside her. Embry sat on her other side, Jake sitting beside him. Dekan smiled at Jake and Embry, thinking they made a cute couple.
"Hey Jake, can I see your cell phone?" Dekan asked.
"Uh, yeah…sure." Jake replied, digging his cell phone out of his pocket, handing it to Dekan.
Dekan opened the phone. Sure enough Jake had grabbed the wrong cell phone last night. Dekan took the cell phone out of her pocket and handed it to Jake.
"Why are you giving me your cell phone?" Jake asked, holding the cell phone.
"That's yours. You grabbed the wrong one last night." Dekan replied, sticking her cell phone in her pocket. 'Oh. Shit.' Jake thought, looking to Paul and Quil who both had matching 'Oh. Crap. You're. Screwed." faces.
Dinner continued without a hitch; Dekan hadn't checked her cell phone at all. Jake was going to figure out a way to get the cell phone back long enough to erase the text messages he sent to Paul and Quil before Dekan could read them. Sam would skin him alive gleefully. Numerous times. After everyone had eaten their fill, they all piled into Emily's living room, Sam and Emily on one end of the couch while Jared and Kim occupied the other end. Quil took the chair, claiming he needed a soft space to hold Claire in. The rest of the group sat in the floor, Dekan once again situated between Seth and Embry, with Jake once again sitting beside Embry. Sam put in 'American Beauty', the choice of Kim and Emily. About half an hour into the movie, Dekan jumped.
"Ahh!" she yelled, standing up and pulling her cell phone out of her pocket. "It's mom!" Dekan ran outside, smiling. 'Finally!' she thought, opening the cell phone and seeing that it was a text message.
Lola Hey baby girl, this is mom, I just wanted to know when a good time to call you would be.
Dekan smiled, texting back that anytime day or night is perfect. Dekan saw she had some text messages she didn't recognize; didn't remember sending or receiving. 'Oh, Jake must have sent these.' she thought, opening the text messages.
Dekan took a shaky breath. Jake really thought this about her? And his friends agreed? Dekan closed her cell phone, putting it back in her pocket. Taking deep breaths, Dekan cleared her face of any sad emotion and walking in, plastering the biggest and fakest smile on her face, not looking at anyone but Sam, Emily, Kim, and Claire.
"Who was that?" Sam asked, looking over at Dekan.
"That was mom; she's going to call in a bit." Dekan said, still smiling.
"Aww that's great!" Emily said, smiling.
Dekan couldn't help but notice Jake, Quil, and Paul all staring at her as if she were a ticking bomb. Dekan stood by the door, her cell phone ringing a moment later. She opened her cell phone and walked outside.
……
..
"Mom! I'm so glad to finally talk to you!" Dekan said, closing the door.
"I know baby girl, I know. I have missed you. How do you like Forks?" Lola asked.
"It's fantastic. Although I did get a text message from Jerry. But its okay, Sam's here.
"Good, good. Try not to be alone anywhere, just in case." Lola said.
"Mom, can I ask you a question? It's stupid but…it's just something that I've been pondering." Dekan said.
"Of course baby, ask away." Lola replied.
"Mom…am I adopted?" Dekan asked, closing her eyes.
