Chapter One: Introductions And Long Days

Bellas POV:

The boys looked at Emmett like he was there new prey and I held back a giggle, they were always so protective over me and the ranch. "Alright so everyone this is Emmett and Emmett, this is Jacob, Sam, Paul and Embry, Emmett will be working with me for the day to see if he has what it takes to be apart of Swan ranch alright boys?" They nodded, although I was there best friend and sister, they knew that I was a boss first and not to question my decisions. I looked over at Sam, "So has everyone been fed?" "Yeah and we were fixing to put the mares out so we could clean there stalls." "Well I'll do that while you go check on the colts and Paul can you check on the fillies we have some people coming to look at them later on in the week and I want there coats shining and looking presentable please." They both took off in the direction of the other stables while I walked into the mares stable with Emmett on my heels.

"Alright, can you grab Josephine and Charm, and put them in the paddock to the far right please, They shouldn't give you any trouble walking together." He nodded as I walked over to my best girl Moonbeam and she stuck her head out. "Hey baby girl I brought you something." Her ears perked up as I held out one of the horse treats in my hand rubbing on the diamond in between her eyes. She munched on it before I slipped in and started rubbing her belly. "I just cant wait to meet this little one." She neighed softly before I slipped her halter on with the rope and tied her up for Emmett. Jacob walked over and held back a laugh knowing that the horse was going to give Emmett trouble the only people she ever let touch her was me and Jake, I put a finger to my lips as he started approaching. He reached for the robe as she nipped at his hand and stomped her front hoof.

"Easy girl." His voice seemed to soothe her as he held his hand out and I was astonished at what I saw. Moonbeam pressed her head against his head as he started to pet her face gently before taking the rope. "Does she go into the same pasture as the others? Ma-Bella." Jake nudged me because I was so shocked that he had calmed the beast that was my girl and shook my head no. "The pasture right next to it please, its were I put my mares that are with foul." He nodded and walked away as Jake grabbed, Destiny and Jade, the other two that were pregnant and followed him. I leaned against the door before checking my watch and heading in to cook up some lunch.

I picked up my cell and dialed Alice's number trying to find out more about this Emmett person and too see how my sister was doing.

"Bella! Oh my god it feels like its been so long since we talked"

"Alice its only been a week."

"Well it feels like longer, We need to go shopping."

"Alice you know I'm too busy with the ranch and preparing the cattle drive."

"Well why do you think I had Jazz send Emmett out there, So I could get my best friend back duh."

"Yeah Alice, what's his deal? He used to work over at Jess's family's ranch."

"Calm down bells he's just there to help, Now your going shopping."

"Fine but only if you go on the cattle drive with me." I laughed knowing she would decline Alice loved horses but wasn't to fond of not showering for two days.

"Fine, but I'm picking you up tomorrow morning at 8 missy." I sighed knowing that that wasn't any more arguing with this damn pixie.

"Alright, but I have to go and make some lunch for the boys, Love ya."

"Love you too sis." Click.

I started cooking up some hot dogs and pulled out the buns before opening a box of mac n cheese. When I finished I set the food out on the table and whistled for the boys before heading into the office to check on some bills and finances. I scanned some things before making copies and putting them in the correct folders, as I had finished I heard a knock on the door and turned to see Jake, I motioned for him to come in and he closed the door behind him. He sat down on the couch I had in there before I joined him pulling my legs up and poking him in the chest. He put his hand over where I poked and gasped like it had actually hurt or something.

"So Bells, whats the deal with Emmett? I mean did you see how moonbeam didn't kick him in the leg, I wish it would've been that easy for me when you first let me take her out." I giggled and nodded remembering how funny that had been. "Well he used to work at the Stanley's." I saw Jake tense up at that but I shrugged. "He said it wasn't a right fit and we all know how they are," he nodded before I continued. "But Alice says Jasper trusts him and I trust Jasper so I don't think I have a reason to worry." I heard dishes being put into the sink and the water turn on and I jumped up from my seat going into the kitchen Jake on my heels. I stood there kind of shocked as I saw Emmett doing the dishes. The boys knew I didn't mind doing them so they normally just left them on the table. I walked over to him smiling.

"You have work to do outside, don't worry about the dishes I can get to them after the day is done." "Are you sure I really don't mind, I use to do them at home for my mom." 'Awe that's sweet he used to wash dishes for his mom.' I giggled slightly at my thought before nodding and heading outside, With him following me. "We should really clean out those stalls and put some fresh wood chips down." He nodded before grabbing the wheel barrow and I walked into the shed to grab a bag of fresh chips. I hoisted it over my shoulder and walked out, Emmett's expression after seeing me carry the bag was kind of priceless, I guess he never saw a women doing real work. I dropped it next to one of the stalls before grabbing another shovel and wheelbarrow and heading into another stall to clean it.

Emmetts POV:

I looked over at Bella and saw her carrying the wood chips like they were a small paper weight and looked shocked, my first thought was to go and grab them but I didn't want to piss of the boss lady and I just went back to work cleaning the stalls she had pointed out. I knew that earlier she was testing me when she had tied up moonbeam instead of just taking her out herself, and I was kind of happy, The Stanley's wouldn't care enough about there staff or there horses to actually test someone to see how they worked with certain horses with temper issues, I finished my work and decided to help her, she looked kind of relieved but still a little agitated. We finished quicker then she had probably thought and I watched her walk into a small room coming out with a couple of bottles of water.

"For future reference that's where the water and snacks and horse treats are kept, and tomorrow your going to be working with Jake because I have to go into town with my sister." I nodded before taking a gulp of water and pouring some over my head. She laughed slightly her mouth being covered as I handed her the empty bottle. "And we don't throw these away, we refill them in the house or the bunks if I'm not here and put them back in the fridge. Speaking of bunks, are you staying here or do you have a place already?" I gulped looking a little distant, I had recently been living with my girlfriend but we had broke up and I didn't think she needed to know all that. "Do you have enough space in the bunks?" She nodded before point out the guy named Sam. "He can show you which room is yours. We better start putting some alfalfa in the bins so we can bring them in. The hay for the horses is stored up there." She pointed to a small loft. "Each of the barns have them, and the cows grass is in a shed near the smaller paddock. They don't need to be fed though because that drive starts soon and I want them to be craving grass so they don't wonder off."

She climbed the stairs as I tried not to stare at her ass, I mean she was gorgeous but also married and my mother taught me better then that. I moved out of the way as her small form threw a bale down and I broke it apart putting two flakes in each stall like she had told me. When she was climbing down I guess she lost her footing and I hear a small scream before catching her. The next thing I knew Embry, Paul, Sam, and Jacob were in front of me as I was holding there boss glaring. I placed her on the ground and she thanked me and explained to the boys that her clumsy ass got the better of her and luckily I had been there otherwise she might've broken her neck. I smiled as I turned around checking to make sure all the mares had water.

Bellas POV:

'Oh shit.' I thought to myself after having my foot slip, I waited to collide with the ground below but when I opened my eyes Emmett had caught me. 'Easy girl, just because you are now in the arms of Hercules himself doesn't mean you need to get excited.' Thankfully I was broke out of my trance by my boys. Emmett put me down and I almost died from not being in his arms anymore. 'Jesus Bella, look at your damn finger, MARRIED. Remember?' I huffed explaining what had happened to them as Emmett went to take care of the water. "Alright guys, what else needs to be done?" Jake looked at me and shook his head. "Bella you nearly just broke you neck, All that's left is moving the cows and putting the horses away, I think we can handle that." I nodded. "Alright ill go fire up the grill and make some steak. How does that sound?" I laughed as I saw all there mouths watering before I took off jogging towards the house and placed some wood in the fire. Letting it get hot I ran upstairs and took a quick shower before pulling on some pajama shorts and a blue laced cami with some fuzzy slippers.

Sam had already pulled the steaks out of the fridge and started grilling when I decided to make some baked potatoes, And stuck them in the microwave, I really didn't think the boys would wait an hour if they were in the oven. When it beeped I pulled them out and set the table pulling out the sour cream, butter and some shredded cheese. I went into the living room and turned on some music as we all sat around the table and ate. After dinner they all went back to the bunks as I quickly rinsed off the dishes and stuck them in the dishwasher turning it on before I went upstairs and curled up in my comfy bed clinging to Edwards pillow. 'Looks like another lonely night for me at swan ranch.' I sighed before closing my eyes.
