CHAPTER 10 : Introduction or Re-Encounter?

We were driving back to my house with Mary-Lee and EJ bouncing up and down excitedly. Where as I wishing we would be anywhere but here. At my house I have both of my family waiting for me.

And with them my new potential 'Mate' and sitting next to me now was my ex-boyfriend father of my children and his family. And what is messing with my head more is that he is acting like his Jealous and Overprotective.

I'm confused and thanks to the 'stupid' vampire need to go at the speed of lighting were here.

"Come on mommy we want to play the video game a little before our party." Mary-lee said as she and EJ dragged me out of the car.

"Sure Honey lets go," I turned to face the Cullen's and said " This my home welcome and come in."

When I opened the door the Kids ran in yelling " Uncle Ben and Jake we have video games come on lets go play."

Ben flew up the stairs and before I could even ask Angela not to leave my side she said "I'll go make sure the T.V survives." And with that she was gone

I stepped in and Kate and Ingrid ran and hugged me and said " We missed you so much it not the same. No Bella Barbie." They said this together that even as a vampire it was hard to understand but when I did I laughed and hugged them back.

When they let go I said " Yea it must not be fun to go shopping with the guys huh."

Laurent hugged me and said " You have no idea I think Max and I finally figure out how vampire actually can accomplish sleep." He let go and Max hugged me next and he continued " We send them of shopping with Kate, Ingrid and Tanya."

I laughed and said " It's so nice to see you guys and now imagine what will happen now that Alice and Rose are in the mix. You guys will go into a coma for days."

Everyone in the room laughed the girls stuck their tongs at me and the guys thought about what I said and looked positively horrified. That made me laugh.

Carmen came up and hugged me and said " How are you doing mi nina ?" She had a worried expression she knew me well. She knew that seeing Edward was killing me figuratively speaking.

I said " Am fine and happy to see you I've missed you so much."

She kissed my forehead and said " me to." And stepped aside so that Elenzer could hug me.

"Bella it nice to see you again." And he to kissed my forehead.

"Where's Tanya?" I asked fearful. They all said their hello to the Cullen's and turned to face me with the face that said 'We-try-to-stop-her-but-we-couldn't'

"You called Bella." She said with a smile and with her came a men as tall as Edward brownish-blond hair golden eyes and of medium build. But that's not what made me stare it was the fact that we knew each other.

Then he said " Isabella." With the biggest smile in the world that I though his face would crack.

When I found my voice I said " Raymond OMG." With that I ran into his open arms and I heard gasp and a growls that's weird. Was the other growl Kate. Did she like Ray? OMG that would be great he already like a brother to me this would make it official.

"It's been a while Isabella." He said and I could just hear the smirk on his face. I used the fact that I had him trap to flip him so that he was on the ground. And set on his stomach and said " What have I said about my name Mister."

He smiled and said " Something along the lines of I-prefer-Bella. Which is the same thing I said about my name."

I laughed and helped him up and said " Wow it has been a while. When I saw you last my kids were months old."

"Yeah I like them very much especial EJ he's very protective of you it nice to know your taken care of." he cursed my face and said " I missed you am sorry I wasn't here for you when Charlie passed he was a good man."

I could feel the venom pool into my eyes the tears that would never fall. although it felt a little different then before more moist weird.

I said "It's okay and Thank-you."

I hugged him this time it was comforting not a 'It's nice to see you' but a 'Am here for you.' I missed him so much he's my big brother as much as Em or Jazz.

I was brought out of my though when someone clear their throat when I turn I saw the Denali's and the Cullen family staring all the Denila looked happy not Kate she look torn between hurt and angered. The Cullen's looks ranged from pained to amused.

I said " This is Raymond Salvatore I meet him at University of Washington when I was taken some night classes. We lost touch but obviously he knew Charlie, Angie, and Ben." I turned to face Ray who had an Amused look on his face because he knew what everyone thought. I shield him and mimicked his power of telepathy and said 'Let's see if it's so funny when you hear who the other people are.'

Then I said " Ray these," I signaled at the Cullen's and continued " Are the Cullen's at the right hand is the head of the family Carlisle to his left is his wife Esme, next to her is Emmett and his wife Rosalie , next to them are Jasper and his Wife Alice, and finally Edward."

Ray said " It's nice to meet you all I've heard a lot about you." With that he turned face Edward and glare and so did Edward.

I stood in front of him and grabbed his face in my hands and looked into his eyes he was highly upset. When he had spoken to Charlie he had been told everything about Edward. Then Ben and Jake told him the rest of 'everything' down to the very last minuscule detail of what Edward did to me. When he had spoken to Charlie again he had said

FLASHBACK:

"Yeah he just left her, but you know that I told you that already. If it weren't for those Angels my Bella would've died. If I ever see that Cullen again I'll ..." Ray cut Charlie of and placed a hand on his shoulder and said

" Don't worry if you don't get the chance to, I'll make sure he get the message. I care for Bella she my little sister and I love her."

"I know and am glad she has all of you guys around." Charlie said

...END OF FLASHBACK

And I know what Ray wants to do. Because like me he never held anything against the other Cullen's. But like Ben and Jake he was less then pleased with what Edward did.

" Look Ray please stop. Calmed down and drop it please." I said but he looked at me like I spoke in a different language.

"I can't do that I promised Charlie." He stated matter-of-factly. The other's sense the meaning of his words because they shifted uncomfortable the and Jazz and Em move they're wife's so that they were behind them. And stood with Edward as I saw this my anger was rising I stepped back from Ray he wanted to be an incentive jerk fine two an play that game.

He looked at my expression and I could see a little fear in his eyes. When I faced Jazz, Em, and Edward they saw my expression, they looked confused. The Denali's knew the expression and Elezer and Carmen place a hand on Esme an Carlisle signaling them to step back. I turned to them Esme gave me a pleading look. That said 'Please don't let them go on.'

If she could she would be crying and this just fueled my anger more. How could they be so careless and worry her this way. Then Max stood in front of Tanya and Kate. And Laurent did the same with Ingrid.

I heard shifting upstairs and I said low enough so that the kids couldn't hear but loud enough so that Ben, Angie and Jake could " If either Ben or Jake come down here or they make Mary-Lee or EJ aware of what's happening. Angie you will be playing nurse to Jake while his bone heal and to Ben while gets put back together." The shifting stop the volume f the T.V went up and the kids started laughing.

I smirked at least they listened.
