AN: Woah, I got so many reviews on the last chapter! =D Big thanks to you all! Means a lot! Sorry I wasn't able to update sooner but I have finals this week and next week so I've been very busy focused on all that. I'll try to update as soon as I can!

So, there's NM dialogue in here again, and again- not mine.

My little rant about this week's Glee is at the end of this chapter. Lol. I'm still reeling with how awesome it was. (Or should I say, how awesome Quinn was. Seriously, her and Santana made that episode).

But anyways, please, read. enjoy. review!

"Because I'm related to one of them."

Her gaze briefly dropped down to the floor before she met, and inwardly cringed at, Jacob's expression. It was a mixture of both horror and disbelief.

"Please tell me you're joking." he uttered, after a few seconds of just staring at her incredulously.

Staring at him crossly, she folded her arms across her chest and huffed out a breath of irritation.

He was acting as though she'd said she was related to Hitler or something.

She opened her mouth to comment about it, but just as she was about to speak, Bella walked into the kitchen, with Santana trailing behind her.

"Jake, who was that on the phone just now?" she questioned, giving him a slight frown for answering the phone when it wasn't even his house.

With his gaze still firmly fixated on Quinn, he retorted, "No one."

"Bella." Everyone in the room turned around to see Alice standing in the doorway, her face paler than it usually was. If that was even possible.

Instantly forgetting about the phone call, Bella moved to her side, her hands steadying the petite vampire. "Alice, what's wrong?"

"It's Edward." she choked out, "He thinks you're dead. Rosalie told him why I came here."

Bella's eyes widened, her hands dropping from Alice's arms. "B-But how did he even…" her gaze drifted from Alice back over to Jacob. "Who was that on the phone, Jacob?" she asked again, but this time more heatedly. She stepped toward him, already knowing his answer by the expression on his face. This enraged her. "Why didn't you let me speak to him?"

"He didn't ask for you." he growled, taking a step back as a precaution.

"Bella." Alice took her arm before Bella had the chance to lunge forward and directed her attention back onto her. "He's going to the Volturi. He wants to die too. C'mon, we have to leave now. Leave a note for Charlie and go pack a bag and hurry, I'll be at the car."

Bella relaxed her shoulders nodded compliantly before dashing out of the room and bolting up the stairs as fast as she could without tripping. Alice was gone within the blink of an eye and Jacob stood there, unsure of which one to go after for answers. He quickly decided on Alice.

"Where the hell do you think you're going? Where are you taking her?" he demanded, following Alice as the vampire headed toward her car.

"We are going to save my brother, dog." she retorted, never bothering to look over her shoulder at him.

"Where exactly?" He swiftly moved in front of Alice, cutting her off.

"Get out of my way, pup." she threatened, her golden eyes a shade darker than they usually were.

"You can't just take Bella away. What about Charlie? He'll flip-"

Alice easily walked around him, unlocking Carlisle's car with a click. "Bella is eighteen and an adult. She's free to do as she pleases. And she left a note. So this isn't kidnapping."

"But do you really think it's a good idea taking her to Volterra?" Quinn finally spoke up, back by Jacob's side. "She's human, remember? Humans aren't supposed to know about your secret. The Volturi will surely punish-"

Alice whipped around, her eyes narrowing suspiciously at her. "Okay, how do you know so much about our kind? What are you anyways?"

Quinn fought the urge to roll her eyes. "Now's not the time for any of that. Do you want to save Edward or stay here and chit-chat?"

"Wait, these Volturi people are vampires?" Jacob interjected with a questioning gaze.

"Yes." Quinn and Alice answered at the same time.

He scoffed loudly and stepped in front of Alice, shaking off Quinn's attempt to hold him back. "You seriously think taking Bella to a bunch of bloodsuckers is okay? Do you want her to get killed? Do you even care what happens to her?"

Before Alice could respond, Bella all but stumbled down the steps outside the house, a small backpack hanging over her right shoulder. She instantly grabbed Alice's arm when she was close enough and together the two of them headed toward Carlisle's car.

"Bella, don't do this." Jacob pleaded, instantly following after them. "Think about Charlie. You know this isn't a good idea. He isn't worth risking your life. He left you, remember? He flat out said he didn't want you anymore."

"So? That doesn't mean I'm going to stand by and let him kill himself out of guilt." she retorted, pulling open the passenger side door and tossing her backpack onto the floor. She looked at him one last time before getting in. "I'm sorry, Jake. I have to do this."

With a smile way too enthusiastic for Quinn's liking, Santana got into the car as well, but not before giving her an offhanded wave goodbye. "See you later, Q. I'm off to Italy. Peace!"

"Don't let Bella get killed." Quinn warned her, stepping back as Alice revved up the engine and peeled out of the driveway.

The car was out of sight in a matter of seconds, leaving Jacob and Quinn standing in the middle of the road together.

"Fucking Cullens!" he bellowed out, his body trembling with anger.

"Take it easy, Jacob." she said softly, touching his arm and caressing him in a soothing manner. "She'll be fine. Alice won't let anything happen to her."

He closed his eyes for a moment, allowing his muscles to relax underneath her touch. He sighed heavily as he turned his head to look down at her, defeated. "Please tell me you're not related to that annoying little pixie."

She smiled and shook her head, "No, it's not Alice." After seeing him open his mouth, she quickly answered the question he no doubt was about to ask, "And no, it's not Edward either." She dropped her hand from his arm and took his right hand in hers, where she then started to lead him toward the forest. "C'mon, let's head back home. There's nothing more we can do here."

"Charlie's going to flip when he finds out." he muttered with a shake of his head, reluctantly following her, "As if it wasn't bad enough that he had to lose one of his good friends today."

"I know. I know. Just try not to think about it." she said delicately. "You're getting yourself worked up again….and crushing my hand."

He glanced down at their interlocked hands and realized his hand was curled up in a fist, inadvertently crushing hers. "Sorry." he apologized, instantly releasing her hand.

"It's okay." she replied, sliding her arm around his and leaning her head against him. "It didn't hurt."

"You know I still can't believe you're related to a…Cullen."

She instantly dropped her arm from his and stared up at him with displeasure. "Do you really have to say their name like that? The Cullens have more good in them than about half the humans on this planet do."

"Yeah, I'm sure they do." he mumbled sarcastically, turning his head so that she didn't see his eye roll.

"Where there is bad, there is always good." she continued, acting as though she didn't see that eye roll of his (when she definitely did). "It doesn't just apply to humans. It applies to vampires, werewolves, even angels…"

"Yeah, but you forget that we don't kill like they do." he reminded her.

"The Cullens don't feed on humans, Jacob. You know that." she calmly replied.

"They still kill." he retorted, his jaw tightening at the very thought.

"To survive." she quickly pointed out. "It's the exactly same thing with humans killing animals so you can have your steak and ribs and what not."

"Is not."

She rolled her eyes and shook her head. "Fine. Be stubborn, Jacob." she held her hands up in surrender, knowing he would not relent anytime soon, "I'm not going to argue with you on this."

"Good." He really didn't want to argue with her, about those Cullens of all things.

"Now onto our second order of business." He quirked an eyebrow when Quinn moved in front of him and placed a hand on his chest. Slowly taking her hand away from his chest, she looked at him expectantly. "Earlier you said that you imprinted on me. Now could you clarify what means exactly? Because you only ever mentioned it once before and even then you were pretty vague."

Jacob sighed. Right. "Well…when a wolf imprints on someone, it's like…when you see her…everything changes." He glanced up at the night sky above their heads and nodded before meeting her gaze again. "All of a sudden it's not gravity holding you to the planet anymore, it's her." He gently cupped her cheek and leaned his head down so that his forehead rested against hers, still holding her gaze, "Or in my case, you."

Beaming from ear to ear, she pushed herself up onto her tippy toes to close the distance between their lips. Except for at that exact moment, a sharp wolf's howl pierced the night sky. She reluctantly lowered herself back onto her feet, her smile faltering.

"This just isn't my day." he murmured.

She gave him a sympathetic smile before rising up again and kissing his cheek. "Go on. It could be serious."

"I'll see you at home?" he assumed, bending down and taking off his shoes. He was on his last pair already and couldn't afford to ruin them.

"Of course." she replied, taking his shoes from him when he finished. "Just come back to me in one piece, alright?"

He leaned down and kissed her cheek, "Definitely."

The second he phased, his head was bombarded with a long line of profanities that was like hearing a high frequency pitch. Combined with the screaming, he wouldn't have been surprised if he lost some brain cells because of it. What the fuck is going on? He asked when he recovered, shaking his head in hopes of lessening the noise.

Welcome to the party, Jake. Even though Embry thought it, he could easily detect the sarcasm.

What the hell is going on? Why am I a fuckin' dog? Another voice demanded. While Jacob had never heard the voice in the pack mind before, he quickly realized that it belonged to Leah Clearwater.

Leah's a wolf? He thought incredulously as he ran to meet the group.

Unfortunately. Paul thought back.

Shut up, Paul. Leah growled. Now will someone tell me how the fuck to get back to my normal self?

Just calm down and relax. Came Sam's voice.

Relax? You want me to relax? I just turned into a giant dog in the middle of my living room and you want me to-

Leah, Sam's right. Said another voice, this one leaving Jacob thunderstruck.

Seth? You phased too?

Yeah! He exclaimed, his enthusiasm about all this a complete three-sixty to how Leah was taking it.

But how? Jacob thought, slowing his pace when he reached the pack. He took in the newest additions, the sandy colored and the small light grey one, and looked at them questionably. I mean Leah's a girl.

No shit, Sherlock. Leah thought dryly, rolling her eyes.

Until now we didn't think the gene could be passed onto females. Evidently we were wrong. Sam explained.

So I'm the only girl? Great. Just great. Fuck. My. Life. God dammit, why did have to happen to me? And why now?

Because there's a bloodsucker in town. Jared replied. They're the only reason we become wolves.

So we can protect the tribe. Embry added.

It probably didn't help your guy's case that one of the Cullens came back. Jacob thought bitterly.

What? Just about everyone thought.

He nodded. Yeah, apparently Edward's in trouble and his sister came to take Bella to help her save him.

So the Cullens are coming back? Sam asked.

Jacob shook his head. No, I don't think so.

They better not. Paul growled.

So the Cullens really are vampires? Seth thought, rather excitedly. Never in his wildest dreams would he had ever thought all the Quileute legends were true.

So that means that we can, like hunt them down and rip them apart? Cause if they're the ones who did this to me I want them all dead.

Jared snorted. Don't we all.

We can't, Leah. Sam replied. Our ancestors made a treaty with them. They don't hunt on our land and we don't expose them for what they are. Or kill them.

Now why the hell did they go and do that? The Cullens are vampires! You just said it yourself that it's our job to kill them.

It's our job to protect the tribe, first and foremost. Sam corrected. The Cullens were harmless to humans. There was no need to attack.

Leah just shook her head in disbelief. Whatever. I'm out of here. She started to walk away but Sam cut her off, blocking her path. Get out of my way, Sam.

There are still things we need to go over, Leah. There are rules to being a wolf. Besides, we still need to help you learn how to phase back.

I need any of your guys' help. She snapped. And I especially don't want yours. She shoved past him without hesitation, even though she was much smaller than he was, and launched herself at top speed.

Seth let out a small whimper before taking off after his sister.

Should we go after them? Embry questioned, looking back at Sam much like the others did.

Let them be. He finally thought with a heavy sigh. Embry, Jacob, and Jared stay phased to patrol but be sure to keep an eye on them. Paul, come with me to check on Sue.

All the wolves nodded and while Paul and Sam branched off, heading back to La Push, the others stayed in the forest and divided up the territory in three sections before taking off as well.

Jacob didn't return home from patrol until mid-morning the next day. He was exhausted to say the least, having spent the last couple of hours trying to help Seth and Leah phase back into their human selves. Helping Seth was the easier task, but Leah had been difficult the entire time with those who dared to try and help. She even bit a few of them.

About all of them finally gave up on her, too tired to fight her any longer. So she stayed a wolf and took over patrol (Seth stayed with her, even though he'd nailed phasing back) while everyone else went to Emily's to recharge.

He all but collapsed onto his bed when he reached his room, even though he'd hoped to spend a little quality time with Quinn. Or should he say, he'd hoped he'd actually get the chance to finally kiss her. (Well, at least properly).

Four days had past since that night and by the fifth day, he was almost as unpleasant to be around as Leah was. With the redheaded bloodsucker continuing to lead them on wild-goose chases, emotions were running high. And thanks to Leah, she only made the pack mind even worse of a place to be in.

Between the extra patrols Sam was forcing everyone to take part in and time he spent sleeping, he hardly had time to be with Quinn. Which was something his wolf did not appreciate, although Quinn was her usual understanding self.

He had tried to keep awake for her when he came home from patrols but his body was always too damn exhausted to ever cooperate.

He didn't understand how Sam could hold it together so well. Probably due to the fact that Sam was older and had been imprinted to Emily longer. Either way, he felt as though he was slowly losing his mind. Thankfully, though, he was very good at keeping her out of his thoughts while he was with the pack. With everything going on with getting that leech and Leah and Seth's addition to the pack, no one had yet to bother him about the mystery that was his imprint.

He was currently running his last leg of patrol with Embry, while Leah slept outside near her house, having traded off with Embry about an hour ago. She refused to come near Sam and Emily's place, let alone eat or sleep there.

Just as Embry commented on how nice it was not having to listen to Leah's dark thoughts for awhile, Leah startled awake at the sound of her house phone ringing. She grumbled dazed thoughts, which neither Jacob or Embry really paid attention to, until she started yelling.

What the hell, Leah? Embry exclaimed.

Did you guys hear that? She demanded.

No, what's wrong? Immediately the two of them pushed forward and started to run back toward La Push.

Charlie just called my mom. Apparently he was supposed to come over today but he called saying he couldn't cause Bella's back home, like two nights ago. She explained. And get this, she brought the Cullen with her.

We need to let Sam know about this. Embry thought. Leah-

Don't even, Embry. Leah growled.

Jacob sighed, in no mood to argue with her. You're the closest one to his house, Leah. You're gonna have to learn to deal with him sooner or later, just suck it up and do it. We'll be there as soon as we can.

Leah huffed in frustration but a few seconds later, her thoughts could no longer be heard, signifying that she had phased.

You think they're all back, Jake? Embry wondered.

I sure as hell hope not. Look, I'm gonna head home, see if my dad has talked to Charlie and could give us new information. Tell Sam I'll be right there.

Embry nodded. Got it.

After making a quick stop by his house and informing his dad (as well as Quinn) on what had happened, he hastily made his way back to Sam's. His dad hadn't had any new information on the Cullens, in fact he hadn't even known about Bella returning, since Charlie had yet to call him.

Jacob regrouped with the others outside near Sam's house and quickly told him that he had no new information to give.

Well according to Sue, she just found out that Dr. Cullen is back on at the hospital. He sighed heavily before adding. So that pretty much means they're all coming back.

Nearly everyone, with the exception of Sam and Seth, swore.

Sam then gave one of his famous lectures, explaining how the return of the Cullens would affect the pack's patrols.

No one was particularly happy about this clause since it meant they would be limited to solely patrolling their own territory. They all tried not to think of how cramped and confined they were going to feel at this change.

Another thing was the fact that Bella was no longer under their protection. Sam decided that since she willingly left and returned with the Cullens, she was under their protection and subsequently their responsibility now.

This bothered Jacob, mainly because it reiterated that he really had lost Bella. Yeah, he wasn't in love with her like he once was, but he still cared about her, he still valued their friendship.

Although now he pretty sure that was terminated.

But wanting to be sure about that, when Sam mentioned that they were going to need to talk to the Cullens, to remind them of the treaty, Jacob blindly volunteered to stop by Bella's house.

He knew the leech would be there.

Once that was settled, he headed back to his house. Sam hadn't directed stated that he had to go see Bella and the bloodsucker right that second.

Not that he wanted to anyways. He had someone way more important on his mind at the moment.

He was just about halfway home when he suddenly crossed a familiar scent, the aroma bringing him to a halt. He did an all around turn, his brow knitting together in confusion when he failed to see its source.

He then heard a musical laugh above his head and his head quickly snapped upward. "Quinn?"

He almost chuckled at the sight of her standing on a tree branch a few feet above him, but the impulse quickly passed and was replaced with concern. Sure, he knew she couldn't actually get hurt but he still felt uneasy nevertheless. "Uh…what are you doing up there?"

"Waiting for you." she replied, giving him a smile that he felt he hadn't seen in months. "I got tired of waiting inside."

"Well, could you come down?" He hoped his excessive concern wasn't showing too much.

She pondered it for a few seconds, tapping her index finger against her chin, before meeting his gaze again. "Will you catch me?"

"Always." he grinned, instantly holding out his arms.

Satisfied with that answer, she stepped off the branch she was perched on and landed directly into his arms.

He arched his eyebrow questionably at her. "Okay is it just me or did you linger in the air a little longer than a person's supposed to?"

She chuckled, then pecked his lips in a greeting before answering with, "Gravity has a slightly different affect on angels than it does humans."

"Interesting." he mused, taking a moment to enjoy the feeling of having her in his arms before bending down and setting her back onto her feet.

"So what happened with the pack?" she inquired, allowing him to wrap his arms around her and pull her to him, "Did you get any new information?"

He nodded, giving a slight grimace. "Yeah. Sue says Dr. Cullen's back at the hospital. So we're pretty sure the Cullens are back for good. All of them."

"That isn't a bad thing, Jacob." she said, taking note of his expression. "Look, just stay out of their hair and they'll stay out of yours. And who knows, maybe all of you guys could team up to take Victoria down. Then she certainly wouldn't stand a chance."

He couldn't help but scoff at the very idea of the pack helping out the Cullens and vise versa. "I'm pretty sure there's a better chance of hell freezing over than that ever happening."

"That's absurd." she said with a short laugh, then rolling her eyes playfully.

"You know you still love me." he replied, letting his smile spread across his face.

She pushed herself onto her toes and wrapped her arms around his neck, looking up at him through her lashes, "Mmm…that I do."

He had brought his hands up to her face and tilted her chin toward him before brushing his lips over hers, the sensation enough to make a shiver run down his spine and back. Without hesitation, he fully pressed his lips to hers in a slow, deep kiss.

He wasn't going to have them get interrupted this time around.

Quinn returned the kiss with passionate urgency, all but melting into his embrace as their bodies pressed against one another's. A delicious heat spread throughout her body with every kiss, sparks igniting her every nerve. It wasn't long before their kisses became more eager and passionate; their tongues beginning to wrestle for dominance. Quinn had never kissed anyone in this way before and marveled at the fact that she seemed to know exactly what to do without even thinking about it.

Jacob reluctantly pried his lips from hers, but only so he could start a trail of warm kisses down the side of her neck. He kissed every inch of skin he could reach before nipping and sucking as well. He backed her up into the tree, becoming highly aroused at the rather elicit and loud moan that had escaped her when his tongue darted out against her skin.

Her hands found their way in his hair, tugging a little, and inadvertently making him push her harder against the tree. So hard, he was almost sure he could hear it giving way against the pressure.

He didn't pay this fact much attention, although he probably should have. He continued working on her neck, unsure of whether or not he would be able to leave a mark or not.

But hell if he didn't try.

When he looked and realized he had left a mark, he quickly captured her lips once more in a fervent kiss. His hands began rubbing up and down the sides of her body, going as far up as he could go without meeting her breasts and then slid them back down until he firmly grasped her hips.

Realizing she was letting herself get a little too carried away, she pulled away from Jacob's lips. "Jacob, we need…we need…" she found herself getting lost in his eyes, the look he was giving her so…erotic.

"We need to calm down." she finally managed, after looking away from his gaze. Only problem was that she was now staring at his lovely, sweaty chest, which was directly in her line of view. She quickly looked away from that to, only to be met with the sight of his bulging biceps on both her left and right.

Oh Lord…

Thankfully Jacob dropped his arms so that she was no longer boxed in and took a step back. "Sorry, Quinn." he apologized, even though a satisfied smile was playing on his lips. "Couldn't help myself."

She could only manage to breath out, "Oh my…"

She definitely hadn't expected things to escalade so quickly. Now, after over half a century, she finally understood what those girls back in high school were talking about.

Now she knew what Santana was always talking about.

Exhaling deeply and fighting the urge to pop on over to Antarctica to dunk herself in the ocean just so she could cool down, she pushed herself away from the tree Jacob had her backed up against. Feeling some of the bark against her back and in her hair, she moved a hand behind herself and brushed herself off.

She glanced back at the tree and noticed that it had a distinct Quinn shape outline on the trunk. She couldn't help but laugh at this.

At least they hadn't knocked it over.

She looked back at Jacob, who didn't seem as amused. In fact, he seemed horrified.

Her smile faltered, quickly turning into a confused frown. "Jacob, what is it?"

She glanced back at the tree before looking up at him. "You know you didn't hurt me, right Jacob?" She stepped forward and touched his arm. "I'm much stronger than I look."

"Still. I shouldn't have let myself get so carried away." he replied, shamefully shaking his head.

"Jacob, it's okay." she stressed, gently forcing him to look her in the eye. "You did nothing wrong."

"Yeah, sure…"

"I'm serious, Jacob." She sighed heavily, resting her head against his chest. "Come on, don't be like this." Her hand moved to his chest and began tracing little invisible circles across his skin, making him shudder.

He groaned and quickly set out to capture her lips again, only this time Quinn put her hand between their lips, stopping him.

"Down boy." she smirked, lowering her hand cautiously. "Now don't you have to go talk to Edward right about now?"

He smirked. "Eavesdropping were you?"

She gave an innocent shrug. "What can I say? It's not my fault I can hear from long distances."

He just shook his head. "Either way, when I go, I want you to stay home."

She instantly scoffed. "No way, I'm coming with you."

"Quinn, Edward will be there and if Alice was able to see you, I'm pretty sure he'll be able to see you too. I don't want to put you in that situation. Enough people have been able…"

"Jacob, don't ask me to stay at home yet again." she pleaded. "Besides you know I hate being apart from you anymore than I have to." He sighed heavily. He couldn't argue with her on that. He knew the feeling.

"Fine." he breathed.

When they reached Bella's house, he was able to sense that Bella wasn't home, thanks to the only sound coming from her home was Charlie's heartbeat. Figuring that he'd just have to wait, he walked over to the trees beside Bella's house, knowing Edward would be able to find him when they returned. He leaned his back against one of the tree trunks and pulled Quinn into his arms. As they waited, they shared the occasional kiss or two. He did his best to make sure they didn't get too carried away but that was easier said than done. Especially when the taste of Quinn's lips were just so damn addicting.

With a heavy sigh, he reluctantly pried his lips from hers at the unmistakable vampire stench that started to burn his nose as it got closer and closer with every second. Peering over Quinn's head, he watched as the bright silver Volvo pulled up in front of Bella's house.

Quinn stepped out of his arms and together they walked over to meet Bella and Edward.

Bella was definitely surprised to see him, and maybe even relieved, by the look on her face. "Jake? What are you doing here?"

She instantly ran over to him and gave him a quick hug…before smacking his arm. It didn't hurt but it definitely confused him. What the hell did she have to be mad about? "That's for ignoring my phone calls. I would've come to La Push personally but Charlie grounded me."

He just shook his head, fighting the urge to roll his eyes. Charlie grounds her from seeing him at La Push, yet lets her take off with Edward. His gaze darkened though when he noticed where Edward's gaze was at. Taking a protective stance in front of Quinn, he threw the leech a warning glare.

"So Jake, what are you doing here?" Bella asked again, stepping back until she was at Edward's side again.

"He's here…acting as a spokesperson for the pack." Edward answered for her, subtly shifting Bella's body behind him in a stance that mirrored Jacob's.

"But before you begin," Edward continued, "I need to say something."

Jacob looked at him skeptically, unsure of what he could possibly have to say to him.

"Thank you."

Of all the things he could've said, that had to of been the thing Jacob was least expecting to hear from him.

"I will never be able to tell you how grateful I am. I will owe you for the rest of my… existence."

He exchanged a quick glance with Bella, who seemed just as mystified as he was.

"For keeping Bella alive," Edward clarified. "When I . . . didn't."

"Edward –," Bella started, but Edward held his hand up to stop her, his eyes still glued to Jacob.

"Yeah, well, I didn't do it for your benefit, trust me."

Edward nodded understandingly. "I know. But that doesn't erase the gratitude I feel. I thought you should know. If there's ever anything in my power to do for you . . ."

Jacob shook his head of the thought. "Look, I'm just here to remind you and your bloodsucking family-" he did his best to ignore the sharp nudge Quinn just gave to his ribs, "of a few key points in the treaty they agreed to."

"We haven't forgotten," Edward said at the same time that Bella demanded, "What key points?"

"The treaty is quite specific. If any of them bites a human, the truce is over. Bite, not kill." He emphasized. Quinn nudged him again and out of the corner of his eye, could see her glowering up at him.

"That's none of your business." Bella quickly snapped, her face flush.

Jacob was just about to respond, but he was quickly cut off by Charlie's roar that echoed from the house. "BELLA I KNOW YOU'RE OUT THERE! I SEE HIS CAR! YOU GET IN THIS HOUSE THIS INSTANT!"

Clearly Charlie was still beyond pissed about Bella getting back with Edward.

Bella cringed at the yelling her father was doing and murmured, "Crap."

"You better get inside, love." Edward urged, lifting a hand and cupping her right cheek.

She seemed hesitant to do so. "B-But you'll come up, right?"

Edward nodded, placing a gentle kiss to her forehead. "Promise."

She exhaled shakily before glancing back at Jacob. "I'll see you later, right Jake?"

"I'm not so sure about that, Bella." he replied honestly with a shake of his head.

"Oh, okay." She gave him a sympathetic smile before heading back toward her house, just as Charlie started to yell again.

Edward waited until she was safely back inside before turning his attention back onto Jacob. "Jacob, there was a matter I was hoping to discuss with you."

"What now?" He'd meant to just think it, but the words slipped out of his mouth. And why did he wait until Bella was gone to bring it up?

"Because it's about your imprint, Jacob." Edward nodded his head toward Quinn.

"What. About. Her?" he hissed, his body suddenly trembling.

"I cannot read her mind and Bella is unable to see her. She isn't a vampire and isn't a wolf, either."

"What she is, is none of your damn business." Jacob growled, just as Quinn grabbed onto his arm to prevent him from lunging forward.

"Jacob, please, calm down. He's just curious." she said softly before turning to Edward to properly introduce herself. "Hello, I'm Quinn Fabray."

Edward nodded, politely shaking her hand. "Edward Cullen. It's a pleasure to know you. You see my sister is the one who told me about you. She said she overheard you and Jacob talking while at Bella's. Something you said sparked her interest, mine as well…." he hesitated for a moment, "you said you were related to one of us."

Quinn nodded, squeezing Jacob's hand when he took a hold of it, "Yes, that's right."

"Who is it?"

"You don't have to answer him, Quinn." Jacob murmured before glaring back at Edward.

"Its, uh…" she dropped Jacob's hand and began fiddling with her own hands nervously, something she always did. "Well, it's…Esme."

She cringed a little, unsure of what Edward's reaction would be. She reluctantly met his gaze and relaxed a little. Wasn't as bad as she thought.

"Esme." he repeated, his brow furrowing. "But how? I mean, what's your relation to her?"

"Well," she cleared her throat when she felt her voice start to get raspy (another thing that happened when she was nervous) "…she's my grandmother."

Edward stared at her in disbelief. "But how is that possible? Esme never had any children, aside from the son she lost a few days after his birth."

"Well, from what I was told up there." Quinn briefly pointed upward. "That's not the entire truth."

"Quinn, I know this is sudden but would you consider coming with me-"

"No chance in hell, you filthy bloodsucker." Jacob quickly interjected, his eyes ablaze with fury.

"-to meet my family." he continued, ignoring Jacob completely. "If what you say is true, what I mean is that, you deserve to meet her. Of course if that's what you would want."

"I would love that." she replied, her eyes brightening with excitement. "But shouldn't you maybe talk to her first? Alone? Wouldn't it be in…poor taste to just drop by unannounced?"

Edward shook his head. "I know Esme. Family means the world to her. She will be delighted to know that one of her descendents is alive. That is, if she doesn't even know already."

"Okay, then. If you think it'll be okay. Can we go right now?" she asked rather eagerly.

"Now hold on a minute, Quinn." Jacob interrupted, just as Edward nodded, "You can't be serious-"

"Jacob Black." she warned. "The Cullens are not bad people. They're not bad vampires. They're not bad anything. Please, do not ruin this for me."

"I'm coming with you then." he said decidedly. "There's no way in hell that I'm leaving you alone in a house full of leeches."

"Just let me tell Bella I'm needed back at home and then we'll be on our way." Edward stated before disappearing around the side of Bella's house.

Jacob immediately opened his mouth to argue with her some more, but Quinn merely gave him that look of hers. "Jacob, she's my grandmother. You can't expect me to not want to meet her, especially now that I know she'll be able to see me!"

"But Quinn-" She held a finger to his lips, silencing him instantly. "Don't even, Jacob. This is happening. If I have to do this without you I will. But I would really love if I had your support on this."

Before he could respond, Edward reappeared. "Are we ready to go?"

Quinn nodded, following him toward his Volvo, "Sure am."

"No way." Jacob hissed, grabbing her arm and holding her back. "I'll take you there myself. I do not want you riding with him."

"Honestly, Jacob." she muttered irritately, taking her arm out of his grasp. "He isn't going to hurt me. It won't hurt you take a ten minute drive with him."

"I'm not getting in a car with a bloodsucker." he glowered over at Edward, who was already in the driver's seat.

"Fine, you can meet us there then." She swiftly turned on her heel and opened the passenger side's door and slid into the seat, slamming the door closed behind her.

Jacob mentally yelled out every swear he knew and stalked off toward the forest, just as a blur of silver passed him. Hastily removing his clothes and tying them to his leg, he phased and propelled himself forward.

"I'm sorry about Jacob." Quinn apologized to Edward, tearing her gaze from the window and the forest visible behind it, and looking back at him. "He's very unreasonable when it comes to you all."

He shook his head. "It's alright. His reaction was expected."

She leaned back in her seat and sighed, "Doesn't mean it's right."

"Quinn, would you mind if I asked you something else?"

She shook her head, "No, go ahead."

"Esme was born in 1895. She was turned in 1921." he glanced at her questionably. "You only look to be sixteen or seventeen. How is it possible that she can be your grandmother if you're not a vampire?"

"It's complicated." Was all she could come up with. Part of her wanted to tell him the truth but the other part of her was screaming all the reasons she shouldn't.

"Complicated." he repeated, before flashing his signature crooked smile. "You'll fit right in then."

AN:

Okay, let's talk Glee. Or I will talk, you all will just read along or completely skip over. Which is okay. Anyways, just want to say that starting an episode with Quinn, not only that, but having her singing as well, along with all my favorites, that opening alone, just made up for the entire season so far. Good job, writers!

That Unholy Trinity number. Seriously, why haven't they had more performances together? Had a total flashback to when they did I Say A Little Prayer and while that performance was great, this one was just awesome. I loved the choreography, the song...All of it!

I also loved how crazy Kitty was about Quinn.

And then that scene with Quinn and Santana, was so fuckin' hilarious. Of course I totally knew they were gonna have Quinn date a professor. I just knew it.(Cause that's what those writers like to do to her, I guess. :/) But whatever. The scene was amazing.

When Quinn walks out of the room, so calm and composed, "Nothing. Nothing at all."- Oh man, I was busting up.

Then to top it off with Santana's awe-mazing line delievery of, "Quinn always was a genius slapper."

Brilliant scene with brilliant actors.

If we do not see more Quinn or Santana in the coming episodes, OY I will be pissed!

Okay, I'm done with that. Back to my story!

I really could've had Quinn be related to any one of the Cullens. I mean, I love all them equally (and for different reasons but still it's love all around) but the second I had the idea for this, I already knew who I wanted it to be. Of course, after reading your guys' reviews and you were all, "I hope it's this person or I hope it's this person." And I'm just…. :/ cause you either wanted Rosalie, or Jasper, or Emmett or Edward and then I started to feel bad because you guys seemed so enthusiastic.

I mean, I know I know Esme's not the most popular Cullen and yeah, Rosalie or Jasper would've been the more obvious candidates since they resemble Quinn more, and the same could go for Carlisle. And yeah, Emmett would've been more fun as would Alice… and Edward would've made things more interesting since Jacob hates him so much...

Maybe it's because Esme's so maternal and loving and whenever I think of Quinn (both in this fic and on the show) I think about what awful parents she had...

And also Esme had a rough past similar to Quinn's. (Although I know that the other Cullens have all had their share of some type of hardship, which is why I reiterate that I really could've chosen any Cullen and made it work) But in this fic, I made it so that they've both dealt with the same type of abusive during their time as a human and thought that could be something they could really connect on and have it serve as a basis in which they could develop a relationship on...

Plus, another thing they would have in common...They were both born and raised in Ohio. =D

So yeah, hopefully ya'll don't abandon this thing cause I didn't make Quinn related to the Cullen you wanted...

Anyways, I'd appreciate it if you reviewed!
