Previously: Now either sit down shut up and play the damn game or no lunch for you." I started smiling. I mean I could not help it. Jacob and Jared both sat down and turned on the TV and game system. I didn't let Bella go. We walked into the kitchen where I turned her in my arms and thoroughly kissed her.

After breakfast we drove into Port Angeles and picked up some things for the house and then we hit the grocery store for what my Bell called on hand staples. Two completely full carts and a huge bill later (which Bella argued about me paying for) we were finally on our way home. We pulled up at home and I ran around the car to open my Bell's door before grabbing a few of the bags. The guys were still in my living room playing games so I herded them out to bring in the rest of the packages out of the truck. I followed them out to make sure that they were careful and that they got it all and then went in search in Bella. I found her in the kitchen with every cabinet door open and she was on her knees on the counter top. There was music playing in the background that she was softly singing and swinging her hips too as she removed items from the cabinet and reorganized. I moved up behind her and gently put my hands on her waist causing her to jump and give a little scream. I brought her down in front of my still gripping her waist.
"Bell, what are you doing?" As she turns to look at me my hands drag along her waist and under her top.
"I am reorganizing the kitchen." Bella gestured around and all of a sudden she blushed and looked at the floor. I had made my Bell become unsure of her self. I grabbed her chin tenderly and tilted her head up so she could look into my eyes.
"Bell, you can organize whatever you like. When I asked what you were doing it was simply because I was afraid you could fall off the counter and I thought that perhaps you would like some help." She smiled faintly at me and then started speaking softly.
"You see you had the cooking pots and utensils all the way over on the other side of the kitchen by the sink and the plates and glasses by the stove. I was simply switching the cabinets. It makes more sense to have the cooking things by the stove and the dishes and glasses by the sink so they are easier to put away." She looks so cute. I think I am going to buy here a frilly apron. Hmm maybe she could wear that and nothing else. All of a sudden I felt a smack in the back of my head. I turned with Bella still in my arms. She was giggling. There stood Emily and Sam grinning like fools. I looked at them scowling.
"What?" All three of them laughed even harder.
"Paul, Sam was calling your name for a few minutes and you just held me in your arms grinning and not hearing anything. What is running through your head?" Uh not good. I can not tell my alpha and our imprints that I was thinking about my Bell in nothing but an apron cooking in our kitchen.
"Nothing my Bell. I was just thinking about what you said and how much sense it makes." I then turned to Sam and Emily. Sam was smirking knowingly. With the pack mind he was sure to find out later and Emily was shining. Emily started towards Bella but looking in my eyes.
"So Paul you call her "my Bell". That is so sweet. Emily hugged Bella who hugged her back. Emily then turned towards me and gave me a hug also. Sam was smirking, again. His tone was trying to be serious but I could hear the laughter in his voice.
"Oh Paul, you are so whipped." Bella turned to Sam with a fierce look.
"Look who is talking Sam. I have seen you do anything and everything for Emily. Just because Paul wants to take care of me does not give you the right to criticize and make fun of him." I glanced at Emily who was smiling.
" And another thing Sam, Emily and I are going to be sharing the cooking so if you want to eat on my nights you will be nice to Paul." Sam looked horrified when he saw Emily was grinning and nodding agreeing with everything that Bella said.
"OK then I guess I will shut up now Bella. Good luck Paul. Emily are you ready?" Sam looked so funny trying to get out with his meals intact. Emily broke into Sam's rambling.
"You can go honey but I have to stay here and discuss schedules and menus with Bella." I took pity on Sam and walked over to the fridge motioning for him to sit while I grabbed us each a soda. Sliding one to Sam I sat down. I looked at Sam who still looked dumbstruck.
"Did your one hundred pound imprint just tell me off?" Sam asked me.
"Uh yes, and your imprint agreed with everything she said." I said smugly. I was so proud of my Bell. She is so shy but yet at times she becomes so passionate.
One Week later…. PPOV
It's only been one week since I imprinted and fell in love with my Bell but everything is working out beautifully. Bella has split the cooking with Emily so she is at my house every other day and on the nights that it is Emily's turn she inevitably shows up there to help. Charlie has started showing up too. He says that since Bella is his cook he needs to go where she does. The only hold out is Jacob. He and I have had a few conversations in which he declares that fate had it wrong and Bella should be with him but Sam and Jacob's dad Billy have also talked to Jacob concerning his attitude. Right now Bella is up laying down on our bed in our house while I am keeping an eye on the lasagna in the oven. She is worn out and I am a little worried. I have talked to Emily and next weekend I am taking Bella to Seattle to a little Bed and Breakfast for the weekend. We have not gone any further physically in our relationship though it seems that we both want to. The problem is too many interruptions and distractions. I actually had Sam put an Alpha order that the pack could not come to my house unless they called first. Well that worked for about four hours until they found away around that rule. They figured out that since Sam said call though he meant a telephone call they could yell out as they walked in the door and that satisfied the order. Needless to say Sam is going to be more careful about the wording of Alpha orders.
The biggest obstacle we have been trying to overcome is Jacob. It seems that every time my Bell and I have something romantic planned Jacob seems to know and interrupts with a phone call or by just stopping by. He went so far that he actually opened the door to my bedroom when Bella and I were lying in bed talking. I was so pissed I almost phased. Bella calmed me down and then went off on Jacob. Since that night she will not even look at Jacob. At mealtimes Jacob tries his best to sit next to Bella but she gets up and moves. Sam had to intervene again when he followed Bella to the bathroom at Sam's and then cornered her when she came out. Poor Billy. Sam says that if Jacob keeps it up the council will be sending him to the Makah rez for a while.

The weekend in Seattle went beautifully. My Bell and I not only consummated our relationship but we have connected on an even deeper level. We spent the entire weekend with no interruptions. We talked about everything and anything. My Bell is definitely the ying to my yang. The time after that weekend went so quickly. We were constantly together. My Bell took care of the household for both her father and our home. Well, she hasn't moved in yet but she might as well because she is here all the time. Two weeks ago when Bella was supposed to be at Charlie's doing laundry and cleaning when I heard her truck pull up at our house. I opened the door and watched Charlie get out of the truck and look skyward and then turn towards the door and me. Charlie asked me to take a walk with him where he laid his soul bare. He loved his daughter and he wanted her to be happy. He clapped me on the back and told me that he thinks that I am the one to make her happy. We finished up sitting on the porch and just relaxing and talking about sports. I asked him why he had Bella's truck and he said that this way he knew that Bella would be at home waiting for him and she would not interrupt the man to man talk we needed to have. Charlie is a great dad and I hope to be like him with our children one day.

Well, we finally moved the last of the furniture into place the house was officially done and my Bell was moved in. I thought Charlie would complain that we were moving to fast but he said he noticed that Bella was spending every waking moment in LaPush and was so sad when she had to leave that he was expecting her to move. Charlie is actually thinking of moving to the rez also. He has already received the elder's permission which was needed because he is not Quilete. My Bell is currently dancing around the house straightening and touching every little thing. She is so happy to be here in our home and the fact that she never has to leave. She has already told Charlie that she intends to be a stay at home mom and housewife. I will start to help her realize her dreams tonight. I am going to propose. Sam and Emily are helping me to set up the back garden to be a fairies delight. We had strung little white lights in the trees and the flowers. Emily prepared a picnic and I had laid out a blanket. I hope she says yes and I am nervous but not to worried about her answer.

Here I stand at the end of the aisle waiting for my Bell. It has been a long hard year but standing here waiting for my bride has been worth everything I have had to go through. Jacob is still not back to normal but at least he is being cordial. Bella has still not forgiven him for all that he has done. He has made disparaging comments concerning our wedding in which he stated that the only reason I was marrying Bella was because she was pregnant. Well he was partially wrong. We found out yesterday that she is about five weeks pregnant but of course our wedding was already planned when we found out. Bella was so excited and scared at the same time. She has already started picking out names for the baby and is designing a nursery. My Bell has even gone so far as to plan an organic garden so she can make her own baby food.
Five Years Later

It has been five years since our wedding and I feel luckier and luckier every single day. The wedding and birth of our first child went off without a hitch. Our daughter Neveah is now four years old. She was followed by our son William Charles two years ago. Things in the Meraz household have been going well. Bella has been able to be a stay at home mom and open her own business. She now owns an Organic Baby Food company. Healthy Angels was born out of her giving out her homemade organic baby to friends and family who the bragged about it to other people and the more people who bragged the busier Bella became. Bella drew up a business plan and went to the elder's all by herself and by the time she was pregnant with Little Billy the business was up and running. The elder's provided Bella with the farmland to grow her ingredients on the condition that she hire from within the reservation. Now the pack and their imprints run and manage the business with most of the profits going back the reservation. Speaking of imprints, Jacob and Bella have settled their differences. Well in a way they sort of had too. Jacob came to visit and apologize to Bella, Bella graciously invited him in and when she handed Neveah he imprinted. Bella went nuts. She grabbed Neveah and ran upstairs locking herself and the baby in the bathroom. When we could finally calm her down she came out and set a list of rules that Jacob and I could live with. Since then he has been a babysitter and great big brother to Neveah and Little Billy. He is still phasing and he has opened his own garage in LaPush that specializes in the restoration of cars. We think that Little Billy has imprinted as well. We know that he is to young to phase but he cannot be separated from Sam and Emily's daughter Sarah for longer than twenty-four hours before he starts getting cranky and trying to walk to their house to see her. Sarah was born a month after Little Billy and even before they were born when the babies were still in their mommies belly's if they were too active all Bella and Emily had to do was sit close together and both babies would calm down. It has been an amazing five years and it will hopefully continue.
Thank you for reading this story. I have been trying to write a one shot and for some reason I just can't do it. Thank you for reading and reviewing.
