Chapter 24 X-pect the unexpected

I have to apologize don't I? it has been too long since i uploaded, and to make matters worse I have the guts to upload a short chapter!

now I ask you please don't kick me! it has been a while since i had time to write something.

I ask you not to give up on the story yet! because it is nog over :) have a little faith ^^

now without further ado, on with the story!

Evelyn p.o.v.

Me and my big mouth…what could possibly happen besides Edward flipping out?

Well that is exactly what happened! Bella and Edward were upstairs in their bedroom, but that didn't mean we couldn't hear what they were saying. Edward had started yelling, which caused Bella to shout twice as loud. I was sitting at the kitchen table along with Jasper, Alice and Rick.

"Ah a lovers' quarrel," Rick smirked.

"More like a dog being kicked, I never heard this tone in Bella's voice before." I commented.

Jasper placed his arm around me," They'll be fine, Darlin'. Jacob is a sensitive subject."

"Evy also thinks I should talk to him!" Bella yelled.

I looked up at the ceiling at the mention of my name.

"Oh sure, well I guess that makes it alright then!" Edward sneered.

I buried my face in my hands. I knew this was a bad idea. Leave it to me to cause the newlyweds to fight.

"Shall I take a look?" Rick said to us with a smirk. Alice placed her hand on his arm and kissed him on his nose," no you will not."

At that moment the door upstairs flung open and Bella stormed down the stairs, followed by Edward who, with his incredible speed, reached the kitchen table before she did.

"Bella, please…" Edward pleaded, and then he turned his attention to me," Why did you put this idea in her head?"

"She did not!" Bella answered.

God…if it was possible I would be getting a migraine right now.

"Come on you two, happy times are coming up." Alice said trying to calm the two down.

"Darling, do you think you could…" I whispered to Jazz without having to finish my sentence. Jasper used his gift to calm Bella and Edward.

"Thank you!" Alice exclaimed as she also felt the change in the atmosphere.

"Edward listen I agree with Bella. If she really wants to talk to Jacob, she should be able to…if you want I will go with her."

Edward sighed," That's not what this is about... Jazz please will you explain it to her?"

I turned to my mate and cocked my head, waiting for an explanation.

"It is not safe." Jasper said as if it was the only logical answer.

"Because they are werewolves…" I replied and he answered with a nod.

"Oh please, you know Jacob would never harm me on purpose." Bella said with full confident," I just want to talk to him about this. He's confused."

"Then let him be confused, Bella. It is not your problem." Edward pulled her in his arms," I know he will never harm you on purpose, but you know his temper… I don't want to risk it."

As I looked at Bella, I could feel Jasper tense up," are you alright?" I whispered.

"Bella is feeling rather angry…" he mumbled. I kissed my mate on his forehead, knowing he was doing his best to keep Bella from her newborn rage.

"Edward, I can go with Bella. We'll visit the Black house and I'll talk with Billy while Bella can talk to Jacob." I suggested again.

"No, my Darlin'," Jasper said firmly," You will not set foot on their ground."

"But,-"

"No buts, my love." He grabbed hold of my chin and pulled me in for a kiss.

I growled against his lips," fine…"

Edward looked down at his wife," Bella, I,-"

"I want to talk with him Edward." She said for the last time.

Edward sighed deeply. He knew he couldn't make Bella see his point. The more he was against it the more stubborn she got. She saw no danger in this…she never did when it came to Jacob.

"Fine, but I'm coming with you."

"Tell me again why we're on our way to Jacob when we're not even sure that he is home?" Edward asked his wife as turned left with the car.

"Because I want to be sure…I've experienced it with him before that he wouldn't answer his phone because he was angry." Bella answered her husband.

Silently they drove on until the house which belonged to Billy Black came in view. Before Edward had stopped the car, Bella had already jumped out and ran towards the front door.

She rang the doorbell and waited impatiently for the door to be opened. Bella knocked just in case and then the door opened revealing Billy Black.

"Bella," He said with a small smile," Edward." He nodded.

"Hi Billy, is Jacob home? I really want to talk to him." Bella asked, but Billy shook his head.

"I'm afraid you missed him Bella, he left about 15 minutes ago. Do you want me to tell him you came by?"

Bella nodded," very much, thank you."

Edward and Bella turned around when Billy called her back," You have to be more careful, now that you're…one of them, not everyone will be pleased by you stepping on Quileute grounds."

"Like who?" Bella turned her head back to Billy and looked at him intensely.

"Easy Love," Edward whispered to his mate.

"And whatever you do when you talk to Jacob," Billy continued, ignoring Bella's glare," don't mention anything about Evelyn being changed in the Cullens house."

The brunette blinked," why?"

"If they knew…the treaty between us and the Quileute would be broken…" Edward answered. Billy confirmed it with a nod. Bella however still looked confused at them, not fully understanding the situation.

"Come, let's go back home. I'll explain it to you in the car. Thanks for the information Mr. Black."

Bella and Edward went back to the car and drove off.

Billy waved at them then wheeled himself back inside. Sometimes he wished things were easier. He respected his tribe and the rules, but as Billy was getting older he was starting to feel that sometimes exceptions should be allowed. Besides he would hate seeing the Swan family hurt. He cared deeply for Evelyn and Bella too. The phone rang and Billy wheeled over just in time before it would switch to the answering machine.

"Hello?"

"Billy is that you?" a female voice sounded in his ear, Evelyn Swan.

"Yes it is me. You just missed Bella and Edward they came to talk with Jacob."

"I know," Evelyn answered," I wanted to call and check if everything went okay."

"Jacob isn't home, so Bella didn't get a chance to talk with him."

"Oh thank goodness, I didn't get a chance to tell her about…you know."

Billy smiled," You don't need to worry I told Bella that when she does speak to Jacob, she has to keep quiet about you being changed at the Cullens house, should that subject come to mind."

"Thank you Billy, I appreciate you protecting me." Evelyn told him. Billy nodded, though she could not see this. He was about to reply when he saw Jacob and Sam standing in the room.

"Billy?" Evelyn's voice echoed in his ear, but he did not answer her," Billy?"

"Evelyn…I'm sorry." And with that he hung up the phone, leaving a confused Evelyn on the other line. He immediately went over to Jacob and Sam.

"We need to talk."

"I don't think there is anything to talk about." Sam replied to him.

Billy grabbed hold of Sam's arm," yes you do! Before you jump to any conclusions about this, don't forget who it concerns."

Sam jerked his arm free and looked at Jacob for a moment," Seeing as you're Ephraim Black's grandson, I will listen before heading over to the Cullens." He said taking a seat in front of Billy.

Evelyn's p.o.v.

"Rick!" I yelled after Billy had hung up on me.

Instead of Rick it was Jasper who came running into the room," Darlin' what's the matter?"

I grabbed hold of Jasper's hand but I didn't answer his question," Rick!"

Where was that guy!

"You rang, my lady?" Rick shouted from the top of the stairs.

"I need a favour. Can you head over to Billy Black's house? Not to close, but close enough to 'see' what is going on?"

Rick frowned and cocked his head," but why would…"

"Now Rick!" I practically screamed.

Without hesitating he rushed off.

I turned to Jasper who had his arms crossed," care to inform me what is going on?"

I told him about my conversation with Billy and how it abruptly got shut off, but not before Billy told me he was sorry.

"Sorry?" Jasper frowned with worry," you don't think…"

I shrugged," I don't know, perhaps I shouldn't have send Rick… I had no right, did I?"

Jasper embraced me and kissed the top of my head.

"I'm going after him." And with that he went off after Rick.
