Human again
Quil and Embry seemed completely surprised to find out that I had lost my werewolf powers. They wanted to talk to Sam about it. That's how I ended up in my current position, walking up to Sam's house with Edward by my side. When we get inside the whole pack was sitting around the living room. Emily was nowhere to be seen. Embry walks over to me and gently grabs my hand and leads me to a chair to sit down. Edward sits on the arm of the chair and takes my hand in his.
"Now that everyone is here we can start the meeting," says Sam. He was using his "alpha voice". "It has come to my attention that Bella has lost her power to transform into a werewolf." At this everyone looks at me with expressions ranging from horror to pity. You could see the questions in their eyes.
"Why?" asks Jared.
"I have a theory," says Sam.
"What is it?" asks Quil.
"She's on the side of the vampires. There's no point of her being a werewolf," says Sam. I growl at Sam's theory.
"Toby didn't deserve to die! He didn't do anything wrong! It's a good thing I saved him too; he's one of the most controlled vampires you'll ever meet! He hasn't tried to attack me once and I'm a human," I snarl.
"So now its name is Toby?" says Paul sarcastically.
"I haven't forgiven you for what you did to me, so you'd better stop while you can!" I snap.
"You're lucky I spared your life!" shouts Paul angrily. Edward hisses at Paul and stands in front of me in a defensive crouch.
"Paul shut-up, Edward sit down," commands Sam. Paul sits back with a smug look on his face and Edward backs up and sits next to me tensely. I place my hand on his knee. "I think just because Bella has lost her power doesn't mean she can't still be part of this pack."
"There's not much I can do," I say.
"You can watch over Emily for me," says Sam. I could tell he thought this was an extremely important job. I sigh heavily.
"How an I supposed to contact you?" I ask.
"I'm going to start carrying a beeper on me at all times. If something happens just call it," says Sam tossing me a cell phone.
"Okay," I whisper looking at the small phone in my hand.
"This is a big responsibility, Bella. I'm trusting you with my Emily and the twins," says Sam with so much feeling that I knew I couldn't object to his wishes.
"I'd be honored," I whisper.
"Thank you," says Sam. Soon I was back in Edward's Volvo with my schedule for the week.
"I don't like Paul," says Edward.
"Paul just has problems with his temper, he always has," I say. "Maybe if he imprints things will get better."
"Maybe things will be better without you being a wolf," says Edward.
"You wish," I say. Edward chuckles as he pulls into his driveway and follows the long winding path to his house. I sigh heavily and look out the window at the pouring rain. I had been a werewolf for so long; my parents had even seen me as a werewolf. They had been proud of me and supported me through it all. Now I was a human again. It felt weird to say the least.
"What are you thinking?" asks Edward. I don't respond and Edward groans softly. "You know I hate that I can't hear your thoughts. Won't you please just tell me?" I still don't respond and Edward seems to get more and more frustrated with my silence. We get to his house and I go inside where Toby was arguing with Alice about which jacket he should wear with his shirt. Apparently Alice didn't like the one he had chosen.
"Bella! Which jacket should Toby wear?" demands Alice. I sigh heavily and look at the two jackets.
"I personally like Toby's more, but Toby; if you value your life I'd wear the one Alice had chosen," I say. Toby and Alice were both scowling at me, but I didn't care.
"That's not helpful Bella!" I ignore Alice's yelling and go up to Edward's room where I lock the door behind me. After locking the door I walk over to the bed and lay down and look up at the ceiling and think about my parents and my life up until now. As I think back I realize I wouldn't change anything from the last 7 months that Edward and I had been together.
There's a light tap on the door. "Bella, may I come in?" ask s Edward. I get up and answer the door. I smile when I look into Edward's golden eyes. Edward smiles my favorite crooked smile and kisses me softly.
"I love you," whispers Edward.
"I love you too," I sigh. Edward walks in and closes the door behind him. I hear the lock click and Edward backs me up towards his bad where he lays me down and begins kissing me passionately.
"What's all of this about?" asks Edward.
"I've decided that I wouldn't change the last 7 months for anything. I have no regrets," I say. Edward's face lights up and he kisses me again. I kiss him back and pull at the hem of his shirt. Edward allows me to remove his shirt and begins to kiss my neck.
"Edward," I moan softly as his hands find the hem of my shirt and pull it up a little exposing my stomach. Edward looks at me questioning. I nod and Edward removes my shirt. I blush a little as Edward kisses my collarbone. His hand goes to my breast and squeezes it gently causing me to arch into his touch and moan softly again.
"Bella, you can't possibly want this," says Edward looking into my eyes.
"I love you Edward, let me show you," I whisper. Edward sighs heavily and sits up.
"I can't, Bella. I can't risk losing you just to satisfy myself," says Edward.
"I trust you, Edward. I don't think you're going to hurt me," I whisper.
"You're still healing, Bella," says Edward looking pointedly at my stomach. I roll my eyes and pull my shirt on.
"Whatever Edward," I whisper. Edward sighs heavily and wraps his arms around me.
"I'm sorry, Love," says Edward. I lay my head back on his shoulder and lift my head up to kiss his jaw.
"I forgive you," I whisper. I could almost see Edward's smirk. I sigh heavily and look out the large window at the forest around us. Everything was snow covered and it was beautiful, as long as you weren't out in it.
Suddenly the door opens and Toby runs in followed by Alice. "Let's take Toby out sledding!" squeals Alice happily.
"I have to get ready to go back to La Push," I sigh.
"Why?" asks Alice.
"Sam wants me to protect Emily, especially since she's pregnant," I say.
"I wanna come!" squeals Alice happily.
"Who's Emily?" asks Toby.
"Sam's wife," I explain. Toby still seemed confused.
"You can all come, I have to stop at my house first though," I say. Soon we were at my house where Quil and Embry were watching a movie.
"Hey Bells, are they going with you to baby sit Emily?" asks Quil looking at Alice, Toby, Edward, and Emmett. Carlisle had made Emmett come to watch Toby, and I figured it might make Sam feel better knowing that Emmett was helping protect Emily.
"Yeah, I just wanted to grab a monster from the fridge," I say.
"Embry and I were wondering about those," says Quil.
"Yeah, we had bought them and were going to see if they affected vampires, but we forgot about them when we got into that food fight," I say.
"Can we do that now?" asks Emmett.
"Do it outside," says Quil. I giggle and go to the kitchen and grab a monster while Emmett grabs the whole case. Soon we were outside. Emmett hands a can to Alice.
"Drink up Alice," says Emmett.
"Maybe we should have Carlisle here in case Alice gets sick or something," says Edward.
"You have two doctor's degrees, you can watch her," scoffs Emmett.
"I don't specialize in vampires, Emmett," sneers Edward.
"Don't get your undies in a bunch, Eddie, she'll be fine," snorts Emmett just as Alice takes a drink of the monster and makes a face at the taste. Then she finishes it and drinks three more before I notice she was starting to bounce in place. I had a feeling this was working a little too well. And then she was…gone…?
