What a Tangled Web We Weave
A/N: OK, so I told one of my reviewers a little info that I haven't shared with all of you yet, so here it goes. NO MATTER WHAT HAPPENS in this story, Harry and Dean will be together; that I can PROMISE and will promise to never change. Bella; I should say that I hate her just as much you guys. Her character is annoying and an idiot so yeah there will be Bella bashing and if I could (I want to), some one would push her off a cliff, but to make the story more interesting I will sadly not. Pout. I hope that relieves some of your worries. Also, I said it before, I don't mind criticism so don't hold back…I am not saying be a b*tch about it, but criticism will help me be a better writer. If you don't like the story than don't read it, there are millions of others out there to read and I don't give "talking mushrooms" (ha ha that means shit! LOL), if you like this story, the concept, or the pairings. One of the reviews I got for this story made me think that the reviewer was crazy, and maybe they are for all I know, but I will say one thing they have right (they wrote me in a reply via message…thing) that most reviewers are just thinking about my feelings and not actually saying what they mean. I don't want reviews that you all do not mean, so if you have problems with the story speak up. If you don't want to do it in a review, please feel free to message me, I will reply.
For all of those reviewers who wrote that they loved the story, thank you!! I love good reviews! They make me feel happy! I am very self conscious about my writing so most of my friends and family don't read. This site was a godsend, and I get to write and know that the majority of you reviewers are telling the truth. So thank you so much!!
Also for those who want longer chapters and faster updates, I have three things to say to you; first, I said in the beginning that I would post at least once a week and that's more than normal if you check out my other stories. Second, I have a life: a job, friends, and school: so sorry if the chapters are not the longest, but I will try to make them longer. Third, I can only do one or the other. Do you want quicker updates, or longer chapters?
THANK YOU for all the reviews and hope you like this next chapter.

AKA- Mrs. Sammy Dean Winchester
Chapter 4
The diner looked as though someone went back in time to the '50's and grabbed everything they saw in sight. It held maybe 4 other customers in it, and all kept glancing at the newcomers, trying to be discreet, but failing to do so. Sam, Dean and Harry sat in a corner booth, far away from everyone, and just chatted till a server came to take their orders. The boy was young, maybe about 16 years old, zits covering his face, and had huge glasses. Harry felt sorry for the boy, but hoped that as the kid grew up he turned out better.
"Hi, my name is Zach, could I start you guys with something to drink?"
"Yes, a glass of water, please" said Sam.
"Me too," Harry piped up.
"Pepsi for me," said Dean.
"OK, I will be back with those in a minuet." Zach left to grab the drinks.
Sam, who faced the door to the diner, widened his eyes as he saw the group of people that came in, if you could call them human. They were extremely beautiful, and had this ethereal glow about them. He knew who and what they were from the time Harry described them before coming here. 'They' were the Cullens. Trying to not look as though he was staring, he put his head down and nudged Dean with his foot.
"Oh Sammy, I didn't know you wanted to play footsie!" said Dean as he smirked at his now angry little brother. Harry laughed loudly, and it was too late, the Cullens spotted them, not that they wouldn't have in the first place. Sam shook his head and nodded his head towards where the vampire coven now stood stalk still staring at them. Both Harry and Dean turned to see who he was looking at. It seemed time had stood still in that moment that Harry locked eyes with people who he use to call family. They looked the same but older, that spell must have worked then.
Deciding to be the bigger person, Harry got up, with Dean just behind him. He smiled widely, not showing the real emotions that coursed through him, and went to greet the people he once called family. Harry thought life was too short and he had enough cowering away from what he lost long ago. The apocalypse was here and the end would soon come, so he had to do this soon.
"Hi," Harry said softly as he looked at the vampires. They looked good, happy, and that is all Harry could ever hope for. He could feel Dean at his side, and he slipped his hand to his husband's for reassurance.
"Harry," Esme practically gasped out, as she glided over to the boy who she always thought of as her son, and swept him in a hug. Harry hugged her back, trying to forget the betrayal that still ached in him. He did really miss her, more than he thought, but now as he stood there, he couldn't stop the wave of emotion from just seeing them. He held back tears though, having more control of his emotions since becoming a hunter. Once Esme finally let go, Harry saw all the others just staring at him with out any ounce of emotion. Stepping back he walked into Dean's arms, those arms slipped around his waist. There was an awkward moment of silence.
"So…awkward.", said Dean, earning a smirk of Harry. (A/N: Remember the episode "Croatoan" in the second season?)"
"I have missed you all so much, what's been going on?" said Harry cheerfully.
"Well…" Alice started before she was rudely interrupted by Bella.
""Edward and I are now married and we have a little girl, named Reneseme." The newest vampire gushed as she held on to Edward's arm. Everyone turned to look at her weirdly, she was never so outspoken unless it was life threatening or before, when she was human, and she wanted to be a vampire.
"That's nice," said Harry, looking unaffected by the news. For some reason, Bella glared at Harry, as though he said or did something she did not like. Really, she wanted Harry to get angry and upset that he lost Edward to her.
"What about you Harry? Are you doing OK?" asked Rosalie.
"I am OK. I have been traveling quite a bit across the country with these two. This is my husband, Dean Winchester, and his brother, Sam." Harry pointed out the two beside him.
"It's nice to meet you, Sam, and Dean." Carlisle nodded to them.
"Yeah, Dean, how is it married to shorty here?" asked Emmet. (See, I spelled his name with an 'e'. I did this before but my computer changed it on me.)
"Not so bad, he doesn't complain too much, great in bed, and if I give him a treat, he does this thing with his tongue…" he did not get to finish this sentence, because Harry slapped him upside the head.
"Dammit, Dean, what have I told you about telling people about our sex life?" Harry glared at his husband.
"That if I keep bringing it up in conversation with other people that I would have no sex life to speak of." Dean pouted.
"Damn straight."
"So why are you back in town, Harry?" asked Carlisle.
"Well, we are on a job, but now that I know for sure you guys are still here, I think you could actually help us. It would be preferable if we talk about this in private, though." said Harry as he gestured towards the doors. They nodded and all started to leave, leaving a bunch of starring, gossiping customers in their wake (don't worry, Sam paid the bill for the drinks and tipped Zach).
They got in their respective cars, Emmet starring maybe a bit too long at the awesome '67 Chevy Impala, and drove to the Cullen residence. Harry looked at the house, remembering all the times he spent there and all the memories rushed at him like a tidal wave. He had to look away, and started to just look at his husband. Sam and Dean have been quiet, maybe a bit too quiet. What worried Harry was that he knew soon this silence was nearing its end. He knew Dean was angry at the Cullens, especially Edward, for what they did to him, and he knew his husband's temper was unmatchable. Sam was attaining the situation, observing in the background, and just holding back till he was needed.
Heading towards the front door, with the vampire clan in front, Edward held open the door for everyone out of courtesy. As he passed, Edward tensed up, and it was not so surprising; while Harry's blood held no match for Bella's, it had a unique scent that still drove the vampire crazy. Flashing his Ex a smirk, he went on and towards the living room. Everything was the same except for the random baby furniture and toys.
Swallowing, trying to not vomit in front of them, Harry plastered on a fake smile. Dean, noticing his husband's distress, and moved even closer to him, for all intense purposes looks as though he was attached to him at the waist. The group all sat in the living room; some, like Carlisle and Emmet, chose to stand.
"Harry, what do you need our help with?" asked Alice. She sat next her husband right across the three Winchesters.
"A friend of ours mentioned that recently there has been a higher murder rate here in Forks, and we have come to kind of investigate what's going on." said Sam.
"What are you like detectives or something?" asked Rosalie.
"No, we are hunters," said Dean and it got no reaction.
"What does hunting have to do with murders?" Bella sneered.
"We don't hunt animals; we hunt the 'supernatural'; from werewolves, to ghosts, to demons, and to witches; anything really out of the norm." said Harry.
"Wait there are other things out there besides vampires and werewolves? Why the hell did you guys never tell me?" asked an angry Bella.
"Bella, we never told you because we really didn't know those things existed." Edward tried to sooth her.
"Really? How long have you guys been here? It doesn't take too much to figure out." asked a shocked Dean.
"It doesn't matter how we don't know, but really, do you humans have a death wish? You could have been killed, risking your life like that," growled Edward, who was pissed that the two brothers pulled his mate into such a dangerous job.
"Why do you care, Edward?" asked a curious Harry.
"I...I care, because you were family once, and even though you left, it doesn't mean you're not still somewhat family." He said, practically stuttering.
"Really? I am family? You guys made no effort to make me feel that way. I mean once Edward chose Bella, you guys seemed to make it very clear that I was no longer welcome in this 'family'. I would watch out Swan, because the next person that comes along that Edward can't 'read', you will be kicked to the dust too." Harry said spitefully.
"Harry James Potter! We never did such a thing!" yelled an angry Esme.
"Oh really? Because, I got the impression that that was not true. I came to your house after the break, to say goodbye to you, and to tell you I would stay in touch and you go ahead and tell me goodbye and to not even bother contacting you!"
"What!?" screamed Rosalie as she looked at her 'mother' in shock and rage. "You told him to not contact us?! What were you thinking?! I thought that he had just up and abandoned us, not that I could blame him for all that our dear 'brother' did to him, but come on!"
"Why Esme?" asked Carlisle in a soft voice that only portrayed a hint of betrayal. "I asked if he showed up at all and you said he didn't and then proceeded to cry in my arms (not tears, cause they don't have tears)."
"I…did it for Edward and Bella. I did it for Harry. Our family would have never accepted Edward's mate into the family if we were still in contact with Harry. They would forever hold her a bit out of reach. I need us to embrace her. Harry, I did it for him too. He didn't need weekly updates of the guy he once was in love with, and his brand new wife. I couldn't do that to him!" told a pleading Esme.
"That does not excuse you for what you did! We missed out on so much of our brother's life and now he is a stranger to us!" said a sobbing Alice.
This whole drama fest was a bit too much for the Winchester's who were awesome at bottling up their emotions; even Sam was uncomfortable. Harry felt sorry for telling on Esme, but really thought that they all thought that way, and that they used their loving mother to pass on the message.
"Hey, it is OK guys; I doubt you would want to know what happened to me when I left. For a year I was messed up and then after meeting the love of my life and becoming a hunter…there are just some things that I am not proud of. Plus, I died and went to hell; I think you would have been sad if you found that out that way."
"You died and went to hell?" shouted Edward as he rushed over to Harry, no longer holding back his urge. He knelt down in front of Harry and took the small hands into his, grasping them as though his life depended on it.
Here, Dean stood up and glared down at the vampire who was touching his husband. "I would take your hands off him, blood sucker, before I do it for you."
Edward laughed, "Like you could hurt me!"
"I don't have to hurt you, I just have to go ask one of your siblings to do it for me." And suddenly Jasper and Emmet was there behind Dean, back him up. Edward looked at the two as though they had stabbed him in the back.
"Sorry, Ed, but Dean has a right to tell you to let go of his own husband or not. Now could you please let go of Harry, I think you have sent him through shock." Jasper commented as he looked at the pale, green eyed man. Harry stood stock still, frozen after Edward's hands touched his. The affect of it, astounded even Harry. He felt the rush of emotions rushing through him that confused him to no end.
What's going on?
A/N: OK sorry for those that are angry that I kind of made Esme to be the bad guy of the chapter. I felt I needed to give you something to keep you on your toes.
