Story

We were on our way to Charlie's, I hadn't been to see him for a while, in fact I hadn't been to see anyone for a while. I spend most of my time in the garage or forest or in Seattle, visiting some old Quileute friends for the council. My only regret is that I don't get to spend time with Billy anymore, but he has Rachel with him now.

Driving through the streets with Quill and Embry brings back old memories, especially through these streets. Fights with the blood suckers, running through the forest at top speed. Bella…. A lot of memories of Bella, sometimes I wonder if she's still alive, but she couldn't be, she went with the blood suckers. Even after everything, she chose them…Him.

Charlie hears from her, I guess she survived the change. Never calls me, not that I'd answer them, even my e-mail is set up so that any thing from her is automatically deleted out of the inbox.

God I miss her. Everyone knows, I haven't been myself since she left, she used me then left. I was so lost in thought I hadn't noticed Quil and Embry talking to me, "Jake, Jake…Jake man you with us?" asked Embry

"Ah yeah" I said, "sorry"

Embry and Quill gave each other a knowing look,

"So how long are you here for?" asked Quill

"Umm, not really sure" I said, the council said I should take a break from Seattle, but I just couldn't stay in Forks, it was too painful.

"Billy was happy to see you" said Embry,

"Yeah, he misses you man, we all do" said Quill

"Especially Rachel" said Embry laughing

"Yeah man, Paul is driving us mad with complaints" said Quill

"She misses you Jake, everyone misses you, your jokes and your infectious" Embry didn't get to finish

"Bloody annoying laughter" finished Quill

We pulled up at Charlie's, there was nothing unusual about the house, but for some distinct reason I got an empty feeling in the pit of my stomach.

As soon as we were out of the car I smelled the air, there was no scent of a leech. Then I smelt it. It hit us all at the same time, it was her. She was here. She was alive. And she was with another human. Quill and Embry were at my side within minutes, "I swear we didn't know she was here" said Quill

"We can come back a different time" said Embry

"No. No it's fine" I said.

We walked up to the door, Charlie opened it. We were led straight into the kitchen, "You wouldn't guess who's here" said Charlie, we stopped at the table.

It was her, her sweet, beautiful hair, her eyes, her pale porcelain skin, her small fragile body. And she was all human, my heart thudded in my chest. I had so many things to say to her that they raced around in my head. I was unable to ask any of them.

I stood there staring at her, "Bella?" I asked. She turned around and faced me, her eyes were just as deep as I remembered. Her hair was longer. She had matured, no longer a girl, now a woman. A beautiful woman.

'Snap Out Of It!' I mentally yelled in my head 'This woman isn't supposed to be here, remember! She left you Jake, She left YOU and for what, for that Stupid BLOOD SUCKING LEECH! I should be angry with her. Yes you should Jake, you should be very angry at her'.

"Yes Jake" she said, her voice was emotionless. She held herself with courage. It looked as if she was holding in all her real emotions, her eyes showed the battle of her against emotions. She was winning.

Just when I was about t ask her why she was here a little girl ran down the stairs "Mommy!" Bella whirled so fast that we were sure she would have fallen over, but nope.

"What's wrong?" asked Bella bobbing down to the girl's height looking straight at her. 'WOW! Bella's a mum now' I felt a pain in my heart and my stomach tightened.

"Wow!" said Quill, "you're… she's your… Wow!" he just stuttered out what the rest of us were thinking.

"Can say that again" mumbled Charlie

"you're really tall!" she said, looking up at us curiously and, she definitely had Bella's eyes and hair. We all laughed at her comment. "Mommy there's something outside my window" said the girl in a scared voice.

Bella smiled at her cute daughter and ran up the stairs. Yes I did just say ran. "You okay man" whispered Quil so quietly that only Embry and I could hear. I nodded silently still looking at the little girl. For some reason I felt protective over her.

"Hey, what's your mum making for dinner?" asked Quil

"Pizza" answered the child, "mommy makes the best food ever! Especially her pizza" she said. And she was right. Even Emily said so, and she is an awesome chef.

Bella came back down stairs and started working on the pizza's

"Are you guys staying for dinner?" asked Charlie

"Well" said Quill, "if Bella's cooking then yeah!"

"Yeah alright, I've got nothing better to do" said Embry

"What about you Jake?" asked Charlie

I almost said no, but I almost said yes if that make sense. Quil and Embry were staying, and I hadn't seen Charlie in a long, long time. I was also curious about Bella and the little girl. "Yeah I'm staying"

"Great!" said Charlie

"I'll just call dad and give him the news" I said. I got up and picked up the phone. On the third ring he picked up, "Hey Dad, I just wanted to let you know Quil Embry and I are staying for dinner at Charlie's, also" I whispered, "Bella's back, can you call up Ulley?" I asked

"Sure sure, be careful Jake"

"I know, I will" I answered. I walked back into the kitchen thinking. 'The girl has tanned skin, like me. She's tall and strong. Like me. Who's her father? I wonder if I know him? How old is she? Heck, Bella could have been cheating on me or the Leech! before she left was she pregnant before she left or after?'

Quil and Embry were standing there watching Bella make the food. She'd just put them in the oven when I decided to ask "Bella, how old is she?"

"Three and two months" she answered automatically. I saw her cringe then straighten up. I counted backwards. That would of been before she left, just before the leech came back. When she was with me. "Oh" said Quill, "okay" I knew he'd just realized what I had. There is a high chance that the girl is my daughter, and I was never told!

A woman came down the stairs "Hey Luce" said Bella smiling at her "hey Bells" she answered in return, she took a quick look atus and they turned away, "who are they?" she whispered US guys pretended that we didn't hear her like normal humans.

"Oh right, almost forgot" said Bella. "These are some old…Ahh friends of mine"

"Oh okay"

"This is Quill, Embry and Jake" she pointed to each of us. "Guys this is my best friend Luce" 'Best friend' was the term she just used. That used to be me, then we got closer and mow I'm an 'ahh…old friend' great I hated this, but Bella lied to me, to all of us'.

Bella looked worriedly at me and the looked at Embry following her gaze. Embry was looking at Luce, he just imprinted. I kicked him under the table and Embry came back to himself.

"Nice to meet you"

"So, what type of pizza are you making?" asked Luce carefully, Bella laughed at her friend "I was thinking meatlovers" Tere was a rumble from Quill's stomach.

Bella walked into the room and sat down opposite us. The child came and hugged her. They were beautiful together. "Her names Mary" said Charlie looking at Bella and the girl.

The door bell rang and Charlie got up. That would be the others. All of the others.

"Oh Hey everyone" said Charlie, I gulped, "sorry we came over un-announced" said Sam Ulley,

"Hi Charlie"

"Hi Leah are your parents here as well?"

"Yeah, they're just getting Billy out of the car"

"Why don't you all just go inside"

"Hi Charlie" said a deep voice

"Hey Seth, just go straight through, the others are in the den"

"Charlie"

"Sue, Sam, great to see you both"

"Charlie, you need new veranda lights, or maybe you should get some to begin with"

"Oh well nice to see you too, it's great to see you Charlie, might I say you are looking quite nice this evening, is that a new shirt" said Charlie, "Yeah, yeah" said Dad.

I looked over at Bella, she was holding Mary close to her. "How do you think she's taking it?" asked Quil suddenly. I looked up at Embry and Luce. "Great, I think she gets it and she's obviously meant for him"

"Yeah, it helps that Bella can explain things so she'll understand as well" I just nodded.

"Do you want me to hold her?" asked Luce just as Leah, Emily, Sam and Seth came to the doorway, they all came to a stop when they saw us all sitting inside, Seth took a side glance at Me then looked back at Bella. I saw them focusing on the child in Bella's arms. Emily looked at the child then back at me again.

"So Bella, you're back…here, right now" said Leah staring at her "yes I am" she said.

"Welcome back" said Emily warmly,

"Thanks Emily",

"Is that pizza?" asked Quill suddenly,

"Yeah, I've gotta go serve it up" she handed Mary over to Luce.

Emily pulled Sam (literally pulled Sam) into the room, Leah moved in silently and Seth sat on the floor near Quill.

The smell of those pizza's came over to us. We couldn't help it, our stomachs rumbled. Mary woke up with a small yawn earning looks from Leah and Emily and the others. Luce put her down on the floor. Mary looked around at us. "Hi I'm Leah, what's your name" asked Leah. It was the same tone that she used for Claire and the other small kids. "I'm Mary, you have pretty hair" Leah smiled "Thank you".

Emily walked into the kitchen and I took no notice of what she was saying, I was watching Mary. "Where's mummy?" she asked Luce,

"Oh in the kitchen cutie" she answered. Mary got up and wondered off. We were silent.

We tried explaining how embry imprinted to Luce, she understood all the legends and stuff but she just couldn't grasp that we were wolves.

"Bella" She said warily "your friends, they're all crazy, they think they're werewolves!"

"Are you guys trying to explain the whole imprint thing?" asked Bella "I'm sorry Hun, but what ever they've told you is correct" her eyes bulged out of her head and she looked faint, "Luce? Luce Hun?, "are you okay?" she nodded.

"So let me get this straight" said Luce, we sat patiently, "You guys are all wolves" she said looking at the guys and Leah, "Emily isn't, Emily is a…imprint?", "yep, you've got it" said Bella.

"How'd you find out about the supernatural world?" asked Luce, everyone looked at Bella, "trust me that story is for a different time Luce, a different time" she said.

I knew she would tell her friend eventually. She had to, word would eventually get out. I also had a feeling we'd soon find out who Mary's father is. You can't keep secrets in a pack, no matter how hard you've tried. Believe me I'd know.

A/N Please Please Please review, I'd love to hear your comment s and ideas. OH! Who do you think the father is? Cause I have no idea! Do you like the names? Should I make the evil Edward come back, I don't like him, no offence Edward lovers. I like my men large, strong, tanned and hairy with four legs. : I just wanted to remind you that I'm sorry for not updating sooner. Everything got muddled up. Also really you should read over one of the last chapters. I had to fix it. Now go ahead and review, review, review.
