EPOV

After settling on the snowmobile, we headed out. I realized quickly that Alice loved to speed and was already half-way up the hill when we finally got started. Rose wasn't too far behind. Bella trying to catch up to her sisters hit the gas, speeding along till she caught up with her sister Rose.
"Hey, it just dawned on me, what's your name?"

I laughed having felt foolish enough to know hers, but not give her my own.

"Edward," I called back to her. She was incredibly easy to talk to and continually surprised me with her answers to my questions.

When we arrived at the building, she pulled the machine into a large garage and turned off the engine. She started to get off, but kicked me in the stomach, knocking the wind out of me. She started flailing around, flapping her arms, and asking me if I was okay. She reached for the first- aid, but I just waved my hand, laughing. "Its okay I'm fine really, no harm, no foul." Rosalie came over to her, easily calming her down.

The two girls led my brothers inside, leaving Bella to tend to the dogs. How interesting, I thought.

I got off the snowmobile and turned to see Bella's butt sticking in the air as she unhooked the cages, leading them over to the side wall where a series of bowls sat filled with water.

She again leaned over, giving me full view of her ass. I crossed my arms, amused, knowing full well that she had no idea that I was still here.

She turned and jumped a foot in the air, finally taking notice of my presence. She blushed and looked at the floor. She glanced up and I smiled a grin that seemed to catch her off guard.
"You're really good with them," I noted "How long have you had them, that's assuming that they are in fact yours?" I didn't want to make assumptions, since she only worked here.

She nodded her head and replied, "Thanks, we have owned them for about four years, training them everyday. I get stuck with that job most of the time, since my sisters are not as into them as I am, Rosalie more so than Alice."

"Who's your favorite?" she looked at me aghast and chuckled delicately.

"I can't pick a favorite! They're my babies, although most days I get along with Jacob the best, but Leah is the calmest of the bunch making her easier to handle. Yet Seth is the fun one, so I tend to play around with him. Sam is more the protector than anything, but he can be amusing. To me he's the one that would rather be at your side than any place else in the world." She shrugged her shoulders and looked back at them with admiration in her chocolate brown eyes.

Seeing her spying on them, the dogs trotted over to her and sat down. Except this sandy colored one that I believe was an Akita, but so many of these northern dogs all looked alike it was hard to know the difference.

He sniffed my shoes and started licking them, I wonder what he smells, I thought. "Seth come here." She called him over, Seth, that's an interesting name. I wonder why he's named that.

A large tan dog with a black face sat down right in front of her, almost glaring in my direction. A black one that looked similar to Seth was sitting on her right, and the fourth dog, a female I noticed, was sitting on her left. The black dog stared at me with an unrelenting gaze.

I decided to play it smart and get eye-level with him. Bella tossed me some treats, that I poured into my hand and held them out one by one. Seth the sandy colored dog, jogged over, clearly not intimidated by me. The biggest one with the black face followed quickly behind, but I could see he just wanted the food.

The other two did not look as keen on joining their fellows and eyed me suspiciously; well the black one did anyway. The white one looked up at Bella as if asking for permission and confirmation that I was a good guy.

Bella came over and tried to squat, but ended up falling over onto her backside anyways. With her by my side the other two joined us, making it a special moment for me as I bonded with man's- best- friend or 'Bella's- best- friend'.

Jake suddenly tackled Bella and began licking her face, in a frenzy to join the other dogs walked over her, licking, and playing with their lovable owner. I couldn't help but laugh at this rather funny picture, four large dogs on top of a rather petite girl. It looked like she was trying to shove them off, but she was not succeeding.

"Ugh, Jake, guys, get off!" She called out to me "Can you help me out?!" I kept laughing and replied in a sarcastic manner, "But you look like your handling it so well,"

After a moment or two, she pushed at Jake, who stumbled into Seth and sat up. I reached out my hand to help her stand. She took it and I easily pulled her up, not noticing until she peered up at me.

We were in a very close position; I could feel her cool breath against my neck and face, her full red lips only inches from mine. Maybe she wont care, I battled in my head if I shouldn't just close the gap, when her sister Alice called out loudly "Hey you two are you coming or what?!"

We both were alarmed by the sudden out burst and shifted apart. "Coming," Bella cried out. Patting her leg, she led me and the dogs into the building. I felt like one of these dogs, I'd follow her anywhere.

I walked into the gym setting where the training was being held. I watched as Rosalie took the puppies that were just beginning. Emmett was watching from behind with a large grin on his face, mainly due to the fact that Max, the youngest Alaskan malamute, was not following orders at all. I suppressed a giggle, so that I would not become the target of Rose's frustration.

Alice was having Juno run the obstacle coarse with ease, as she was older than Max and had a little more training under her belt. I walked over to Rose, barking a basic command at Max. She smiled ruefully at me and continued with what she was trying to do from the beginning, have Max sniff out his bone.

Jasper was looking adoringly at Alice, but Emmett was trying not to laugh at poor Rose as she suddenly was jumped on by Max, who licked her profusely. Alice and I quickly went into action as we pulled off the dog.
"I am going to kill Tanya's dog if he ever does that to me again!"

Emmett came over to Rose and scooped her up bridal style. She gasped in shock, and then blushed as he whispered in her ear. Now I was in shock!

"Rosalie Hale did you just blush?!" Alice shouted incredulously
"Hey that's my job," I teased. Rose turned to us replying, "Hey it's in the genes!" I turned to Alice, "She does have a point, I mean, think about mom."

I turned focusing my attention on Max, forcing him back to his cage. Alice followed me with Juno.

Alice turned back to Jasper and the others and asked, "You guys hungry?" The boys nodded and followed after her, Rose still in Emmett's huge arms. Edward came over and offered me his arm, "Allow me." I blushed and giggled at his gentlemanly manner.

When we entered the lounge Emmett placed Rose gently on the chair and sat down be side her. Jasper found the comfortable arm chair, which oddly enough was Alice's favorite. She then turned and sat on his knee. Edward and I made our way over to the loveseat. I blushed slightly at the name, as well as the thought of what has been done on this couch.

Tanya entered with her sisters, Garrett, Nathan, and Sean in tow. Garrett was Kate's newest boyfriend, which was starting to look rather serious. Nathan was Tanya's 'bad boy', who was a genuinely nice guy underneath. Irina was in an awkward stage with her boyfriend Sean; they were not sure if they wanted to go to the next level or not.

Once introductions were complete, we sat down munching on snacks, talking animatedly about anything that came up. Emmett brought up the new movie that was supposed to come out the next weekend. I had heard about it, but had no intension on watching so gross a horror flick. Emmett asked if we should make it a group thing, several others were vaguely intrigued. Alice and I sighed.

"We can't," she started; I could easily tell Jasper was disappointed. "Bella and I are on call that day; two people always have to be here in case something happens. I would love to come, I'm not sure Bella would though anyway, but even if she did we can't."

"Well how about another day," Jasper offered.
"But then me and Kate can't come," Rose piped up, almost in a winy manner. Rose was more into the horror and gore than Alice and I.

"Is there a day that all of us can go?" Edward asked.

"Not until about three weeks when the boys are on." Irina replied looking at the updated calendar behind her.

Garrett started, "What if you switched with them?"

"I don't think Eleazer would go for that. They were on last weekend. That and we have done that before, before the girls started working here, and the privilege was abused.

"Well that's a bummer." Someone said, voicing the opinions of the group.
After an hour passed, doing nothing but talking and laughing, the boys got up when Edward reminded them that Emmett had a conference call at five, also saying that plans to meet their parents for dinner was not something they could miss.

Edward turned to me looking uncomfortable, uncertain as to what to do. I simply offered my hand, "Thanks for everything you did for me and my sisters this morning. It was very nice to meet you. Maybe we could get together…maybe…?" I died off blushing at the very idea of making the first move. Edward looked at me with wide eyes and smiled the knee-buckling smile he had done earlier today. Why did my stomach just flip? I thought, I barely know this guy.
"How about tomorrow afternoon, we could meet here and you could show me some tricks with the dogs?" he offered.

Aww I couldn't help think. Maybe he knows I feel more comfortable around them. He turned around, giving a small smile, and followed his brothers out of the room.

At the same time Alice, Rosalie, and I sighed and plopped down into our chairs.

"Aww, I think the Hale girls are in loooove!" Kate taunted.

"I know I am!" admitted Rose.

"Ditto!" cried Alice.

Everyone just turned and looked at me, I blushed deeply and smiled. Screaming commenced and a pillow was tossed hitting Rosalie squarely in the face, not taking long, it became an all out brawl.
