I fell asleep in Jake's arms, every two hours a small nurse named Joel would come in to check on me. She smiled when she first saw us and didn't pester me about the sleeping Jacob; she was even being quiet so not to wake him. When I was awoken for the 3rd time the nurse was different. She was a plump woman and she scolded at me, and woke Jacob up and told him to get out of the bed.

He did and I scolded right back at her. While she was checking my pulse she stared at me and I stared back like a stare down. She sighed, looked away and left not soon enough. I looked at Jake who was smiling at me, "you still tired?" I asked scooting over again; He smiled and laid in the exact same position.

"What about when your nurse friend returns?" He asked smiling at the whole ordeal. "She can come to peace with it." We feel asleep again, I on his chest and the whole thing repeated. The nurse told him to move, we had our stare down, I won again, except this time she threatened Jake. "I better not come in here and see you on the bed again or you'll be removed!"

It was only eight in the morning, but I was ready to leave. I asked Jake what we were going to do once I was out but he looked worried. "What?" I asked as I sat up on one elbow. "The fact is Edward has broken the treaty, and Victoria is still out there. We have to kill them, and their all looking for you. I just want to make sure your safe."

"So?" I pestered him to continue, "So… You have to stay at Emily's for awhile. Billy has told Charlie that were all going to Port Townsend to visit family and you wanted to tag along. You don't mind staying away from your house and staying with Emily for awhile do you?"

I sighed and looked back at him, "as long as you visit me constantly." I told him with a smile. "Promise" He said kissing me on the fore-head. —

Two long hours later I was allowed to leave, Jacob drove me to his house first to get my stuff then on to Emily's.

When we arrived at Emily's Sam and the others stepped outside to greet us. Sam was the first to approach us. "Hey, I'm glad you're okay." He said with a pat on the back, Quil walked over to my side "you're a pretty lucky girl you know that?" Embry walked next to me and kissed me on the cheek. Jake growled a little but I calmed him down.

Inside Sam was next to Emily, who was in the kitchen as always, Paul, Embry, Jared, and Quil were sitting around the table talking. I had changed out of those accursed shorts and changed into a dark blue pair of Jeans and took my place beside Jake. "Hey follow me" Jake had spoken I didn't really think about it I just automatically followed him outside, and to the side of the house.

I stood with my back to the house, and he was in-front of me. "Bella, I have some…err… well good news to me but, I don't know what you'll think." He stopped and rubbed the back of his head. "Please what, what is it?" I asked really concerned about this. "I…I…I…" "Out with it" as soon as I said that he spit it out "I imprinted on you last night in the hospital!" He turned around and I gasped.

""It's not like love at first sight, really. Its more like... gravity moves... suddenly. It's not the earth holding you here anymore, she does... You become whatever she needs you to be, whether that's a protector, or a lover, or a friend." I had remembered Jacob's words on imprints. I felt the tears fall down my eyes, and he turned to me. "That bad is it?"

I looked at him shocked as he steped closer, "Bad? Why on earth would I think its bad? It's the best news I've had in years!" "Bella…" He smiled, his large hand lifted my chin. He looked so…so perfect at that moment. He leaned down, and his lips touched mine.

The kiss was soft at first, as we both became reacquainted with each other. His hand left my chin and crept to the back of my neck. It slid up and he started running his fingers through my hair. I stood as high as I could on my toes, and ran my hands up his torso, over his shoulders, and lightly held his neck. I slightly pulled him closer to me. His other hand was rubbing my back, both making me enjoy myself and pull myself closer to him at the same time.
I could tell this soft deep kiss wouldn't last for much longer. He walked into me and I backed up, not breaking our embrace. He had me against the side of the house now.

I let one leg leave the ground and rub slightly against his leg. I could feel him bend slightly and then his hand was in the bend of my knee, pulling my leg to his hip. He held it there for a moment until he was sure I wouldn't take it away. Then I felt his finger tips slowly massaging my upper thigh and I kissed him a little harder.
Then I realized that I'm off the ground. I wrapped my legs around his waist and ran my fingers through his soft hair. His hands left my legs and returned to my back. They ran up and down it and then his hands ran under my shirt. His hand- not breaking its rhythm- continued rubbing my bare skin. I could feel my stomach knot but the good kind of knot. I felt like it's time to do some exploring of my own. I fingered at the collar of his shirt and ran my hands inside, ever so slightly just to be teasing.

I felt his hand go farther up my shirt; and his hand flitted across my bra strap, but didn't linger his hand came back. He rubbed the clip for a second, but I hissed a warning huff of air out my nose. His hand left the clip. His other hand found the back pockets of my jeans and he was tracing the stitch patterns. I shivered and I could feel his mouth curve into a slight smile.

Suddenly, I got an idea, I parted his teeth as best I could and in goes my tongue. I felt him relax slightly and I took it back. He followed what I did and suddenly I felt his tongue in my mouth. I held it in my teeth slightly as he took it back.

That's when things really got going. I felt his hand near the waist of my jeans, then slightly in them. He ran the tips of his fingers along the silk band of my underwear. I froze, He growled, never breaking the kiss. I let him go further. While his other hand rested on my butt. I froze again and pull away slightly. He growled again. I smile and continued the kiss. I couldn't let this get out of hand; I had to be the responsible one.

I pulled my head back from his slightly not wanting to agitate him. "I love you," he whispered in my ear, I hadn't realized that he was still holding me in the air. "I love you too" I replied as I put my legs to the ground. "So, how does the feeling about being with me make you feel?" He asked actually wondering. "Like the luckiest girl in the world," I reassured him when suddenly his back went stiff and his body started to shake. "What?" "Get inside, now!" he hissed I obeyed and ran inside past the other wolf members that were outside.

"What's going on Emily?" I asked she wrapped her arm around me. "They since a vampire."
