A week after Rylan's imprint thingy, he had moved down here and transferred into La Push High. They let him in straight away, all he did was turn up one day and 'boom' they let him in. Their rep on the line, Rylan's a crazy one at school. Only seven more weeks until graduation and I was a free women…sort of.

The last week was one of the best in my life. Spending my days hanging with the guys, just enjoying life and the nights were sinfully delicious with my Sam. I've slept at his almost every night this week, but it was great. Falling asleep and waking up in his arms was amazing. I was so happy right now I could burst into song…but I really didn't want to become some sort of high school musical rip-off.

It was a Friday afternoon and I was alone and in wolf form, walking around the forest. One white paw in front of the other, nose to the ground sniffing out all the different scents that nature had to offer. Some of them not as fresh as the others, that's for sure.

I had left my clothes near the outskirts of the forest, I know where they are so I'm ok. I carried on through the brush, it was getting a lot thicker now. I let my tongue loll out as I jumped over a fallen log.

Bounding from rock to rock and feeling the leaves crunch beneath my paws was amazing. Nature really is a wonderful thing. The different shapes and sizes, the natural inclines and declines. And the colours…oh the colours. My enhanced sight makes everything seem more beautiful. The brilliant green of the moss, the browns of the bark on the trees and logs. The sparkling spring green leaves and the glittering greys of the boulders. It was all beautiful.

I heard a scuffling sound and looked to my right to see a rabbit feasting on a tuft of grass. My stomach growled, reminding me that I hadn't eaten today. I felt a bit put off that it growled once I saw the rabbit but reminded myself that it was normal for me in wolf form to want to hunt live animals. The guys do it all the time.

I stepped forward cautiously, knowing that in one bound I could have my teeth deep into its neck…the mental image made me grimace and I backed out of eating thumper, he's way to cute.

Instead I decided to go swimming, running through a clearing until I got to the lake halfway into forks, I just jumped in. My fur hung down heavily as I doggy paddled around and dived. Yipping all the time. I wished Sam didn't have to work today, this is so boring alone.

After half an hour of forced stay in the water I decided to go back to find my clothes. I ran back through the forest to the point in La Push that I had stripped at. I put my nose low to the ground and sniffed for my clothes. I could smell my scent but when I got to the place I had left my stuff there was just an empty patch of ground. I frowned as best I could in wolf form and licked at the ground…I know its gross but it helps me know that it was the place I put my clothes but that they weren't here anymore.

I sniffed around frantically, searching for my clothes but I got nothing sighing, there was only on thing to do.

I phased, buck-freakin'-naked with no way but to walk home. Ah…Sam's not gunna be happy.

I looked around and tiptoed out of the brush and into the open, noticing a second too late the police car with two officers standing beside it to my right. I whirled around as was about to jump back into the forest when they spotted me.

"Stop right there, Miss." a gruff voice called. I froze and turned slowly with a defeated sigh.

"Um…yeah." I said, noticing that they both did a slow up and down glance of my body. Checking for hidden weapons, maybe.

"You're naked." Said the taller one, he was the older one, mid-thirties maybe. Lines around his eyes and mouth, rich copper skin and tight curly brown hair to his chin. The other was much younger…freshly qualified maybe. His green eyes shone with amusement and he flicked his handcuffs that hung from his belt.

"Nah…you don't say." came out of my mouth before I could stop it. The older officers eyes darkened a little.

"Watch you're attitude, young lady." he scolded, I rolled my eyes and sighed. He walked over to me, letting his eyes roam my body again. I felt a bit dirty, I mean, he could have a daughter around my age…what would that make him. A horny middle aged man that needs an ego boost from a seventeen year old…that's what.

"Sorry officer." I cast my eyes down and made my voice sound innocent. Hoping he would take mercy on me and let me go but my submissiveness just made the freak smile. He's obviously one of those bad corrupted cops you see in the movies.

"We're gunna have to take you down the station, Miss." he spoke. I frowned at looked up sharply. Indecent exposure was a fine, not a trip to the station.

"Cant you just give me the fine and let me get on my way. This is not exactly my fault you know." I narrowed my eyes on him.

The other guy came forward, pulling his handcuffs from his belt. Why the fuck would he need those, I'm freaking naked, not a mass murderer.

"Oh, and whose fault is it?" the older guy said, pulling out his notepad and pen.

"I dunno, someone stole my clothes." I huffed, and tapped my foot on the ground.

"Why weren't you in your clothes?" erm…how to answer this one.

"Um, I have a naked-in-the-woods fetish. I'm not hurting anyone. I just wanna be free in my own skin." ok, maybe that wasn't the best excuse but hey, you try and think one up on the spot.

They both raised their eyebrows at me. The older guy writing it down on his pad. I thought about what would happen to them when if they bring me in the station. Their grubby hands on my skin as they cart me in. Dad and Sam were both working today…that's going to be interesting.

"What's your name girl?" he said in a gruff voice.

I narrowed my eyes, "What's your's?" I challenged.

"Officer Long." he said, for some reason I had the feeling of being at a really cheap porn shoot…Officer Long, jeez.

"Is that what your wife calls you?" I smart-assed him cause I was bored and wanted to see Sam and Daddy.

"No." he stated looking me in the eye.

"Why not?"

"I don't have a wife." he sighed.

"You gay?" I asked, smirking slightly.

"No" he huffed.

"You sure?"I stifled my giggle as his eyes flashed with annoyance and the other one bit his smiling lip. Officer Long made a show of looking at me with hooded eyes and then adjusting his package. I made a disgusted sound, "Why does that always happen to me?" I thought aloud.

"Hey I cant help that having a naked woman in front of me turns me on." he said nonchalantly. "What about you Isaac?" he turned slightly, addressing the other guy, who looked at me like a piece of meat.

"Oh yeah." he said, his voice higher then I thought it would be.

I grimaced at both of them, "You have no idea what you're getting into."

"Is that a threat? Cuff her Isaac." Officer Long commanded. I sighed as Isaac took his time cuffing my hands behind my back. The little fucker did that so I couldn't hide any part of my body, and now my breasts were also thrust out more with the position of my shoulders.

I growled at them, "Can you cover me with a coat please?" I asked nicely, they laughed.

"Sorry honey. No can do, haven't got a stitch with us, you wanted to be naked so now you can stay naked. Lets see what the boys at the station have to say about this." Long smirked, shoving me in the back of the cruiser.

"Your funeral." I muttered.

"That's the second time you've threatened me. You're just getting yourself into more trouble and with that comes more punishment." he grinned sickly and started the car.

"I wasn't threatening you. I was stating the truth." I spat, angry now, I hated feeling dirty like this and was looking forward to seeing Sam punch the dude.

"And who is it that is going to kill me?" he asked, laughing as if I was joking.

"Two people you know." I shrugged.

"That helps." he said sarcastically, "What's your name?"

"Not telling." I pouted.

"Ok, lets start with a easier question. Why do you think these people are going to kill me?"

"What is this? An interrogation? They are gunna hurt you cause you've been perving on me and they don't like that." I slammed my back into the seat and huffed again.

"How was I 'perving' on you?"

"Erm…hello, you grabbed your cocktail sausage as you looked at me with I'm-a-freakin-pheodo eyes."

He pulled up outside the station and yanked me harshly out of the car. "I did not do that. Do you understand?"

I stood on my tiptoes, and glared at him, "You don't scare me. I have a lot more power than you do. I hope you like afternoon TV cause you're about to lose your job."

"Yeah, yeah." he pulled me by the arm as I pouted.

In the station there was a dirty bum sitting on the plastic chairs, sitting something that was steaming out of a polystyrene cup. He took one look at me and dropped the cup, it hit the floor and sloshed boiling coffee everywhere. He gave me a toothless smile and winked dramatically.

Sam and Daddy where sitting behind the counter with a few other officers, eating donuts…whoever said associating donuts with police officers was stereotypical and stupid, I have the proof right here. I took a nice look at my baby all happy and laughing to remember when he was mad and grinding his jaw. He just lifted a donut to his mouth when Officer Long innocence our presence.

"Look what I got here, guys." he half yelled.

They all looked round. Sam's eyes fell on me and he dropped the donut. I pouted and made myself look mistreated as he gaped at me. Dad wasn't any better but I saw the anger build in his eyes and I knew it wasn't at me but at the hand that was gripping my arm and the parade of my body.

"Get your hands off of her." Sam's voice was dead. So stern that even I shivered with fear for the guy.

"Sam?" Officer Long frowned, not letting go.

"NOW!" Sam yelled. The guy dropped my arm like a hot potato. My bottom lip quivered and I cleared my throat.

"Sam." I cried. I had been ogled at and perved on and now I'm getting my own back. Sam saw the distress on my face.

"UNCUFF HER NOW!" he roared. Officer Long looked at dad who glared him to death and uncuffed me and Sam ran over and covered me with a coat.

"Baby." I whined, resting my head on his chest. He pulled me to him and stroked my hair.

"Its ok, baby, I'm here now." he said.

Dad walked up to Long, "What happened?" he asked.

"She was walking naked by the woods and then threatened me twice." he said.

"Daddy!" I sobbed, acting the traumatised victim. Dad looked over at me and then back to Long, glaring viciously.

"Baby girl, tell me what happened." he said.

"I was walking in the woods, and someone stole my clothes." I widened my eyes subtly at this point so they would both know why I was naked. "And then these guys caught me and they were looking at me like I was a piece of meat. They told me I had to come here but I knew that wasn't necessary. Then he said I had an attitude and made a crude comment and made the other handcuff me. They wouldn't give me a coat and they laughed." I pouted, sniffing more.

Dads eyes darkened, he turned to Long and Isaac, "In my office. Both of you now!" he didn't yell but the calm of his voice was worse than that. The scolded officers walked to dads office and closed the door behind them.

"Sam take her home and take the rest of the day off. I've got something to do. Are you ok honey?" he asked me.

"Yeah. I am now." I smiled a little.

"We will talk later." Dad grumbled and walked into his office. I grimaced and turned back to Sam, his face showed his anger. I guess I really shouldn't have been caught out like that but hey, its not my fault my clothes were stolen.

"See you later, guys." he said to the other open-mouthed officers. They all nodded at him and said their goodbyes. Sam grabbed my hand and pulled me outside.

"Bye gorgeous." The bum called as we passed him. Sam growled at him and he shrunk back into the seat.

Being pushed into the Challenger wasn't a fun activity. The door was slammed behind me and slammed again when he closed his door. He started the engine in silence and was driving in silence for about a minute until the anger got the best of him.

"How could you be so stupid?" he asked, his voice was angry but it held a gentle tone as well. I knew he couldn't be really angry with me, it was more anger in general, with the officers too.

"I didn't do anything wrong. My clothes were stolen, and I hide them quite well. And those officers were disgusting. I thought officers of the law were suppose to be law-abiding, that oldie was checking out an underage girl. Hell, even you're breaking the law." I huffed.

He looked at me with narrowed eyes, "You don't seem to be complaining. And its different for us anyways. I'll talk to him about his behaviour with you, trust me I will. Just be more careful next time." he sighed.

"Its not like I was parading around. Anyways I don't care if you talk to him about the way he was with me but what if it had been someone younger and more venerable then me." I sighed and shook my head.

"I'm sure he meant no harm. Come on, lets go see the others for a few hours." he said, parking in front of Jakes house, where everyone was.

"You go in there, I'm going to grab some clothes." I said and hopped out of the car before he could say anything.

I ran indoors and upstairs and jumped in the shower quickly, scrubbing myself of the weird dirty feeling, and the dirt from my feet and legs. I also washed my hair through, I had a few twigs and it was covered in lake water.

When I jumped out I dried myself quickly, stuck my hair up in a ponytail and pulled on some jeans and a t-shirt. I skipped down the stairs and ran over to Jakes.

The pack was all in the living room as I went in. Sam was sitting in an angry silence in the armchair and the others were around him. I sighed and went to sit next to Jake. He put his arm around my shoulder.

"What's up with the boss man?" he chuckled.

"He's angry at me." I pouted.

"Damn right, I'm angry. You could have exposed us." Sam narrowed his eyes.

"What happened?" Rye asked.

"I got arrested." I said. They all gaped at me, "Well, I wasn't properly arrested. Just cuffed and escorted to the station." I sighed.

"Oh my god." Leah burst out laughing.

"Its not funny. She hasn't told you everything yet." Sam huffed.

"For Christ's sake. I was naked, ok. I had just come from running and my clothes were gone."

Everyone burst out laughing. They'd look up at me every now and then only to burst out into more belly rolling laughs. Leah was leaning her head on Rylan's shoulder and they snickered together.

"Yeah, yeah, laugh it up." I sighed, and stretched my feet out.

They continued laughing for ages until Sam finally got bored of it and started lecturing me on my extra curricular activities. Which, quite frankly, got on my nerves. I wouldn't have gone out if I wasn't so freakin' bored.

"You should have gone with someone." he said for the millionth time.

"THERE WAS NO ONE TO GO WITH!" I yelled and everyone shut up. "Jeez, everyone was doing there own thing, ok." I sighed and Sam's expression turned guilty.

"I'm sorry, baby. I just don't want that to happen again. What if your father and I hadn't been there? That could have gone on you're record." he sighed and walked over to me, slid his hand under my knees and my back, picked my up and brought me over to the armchair, where he plonked down with me atop him.

"Well, I'm sorry but seriously, you cant blame me. Someone stole my clothes." I huffed.

He kissed me, "I know, sweetie. I don't mean to blame you." he said. He kissed me again, sliding his tongue between my lips and pulling me closer to him.

"Guys, I have a confession to make."

We all looked up at Paul. He was sitting on the floor, legs crossed and looking extremely guilty. Sam narrowed his eyes and sat me on the arm of the chair.

"What is it?" Sam asked.

Paul shuffled a little, "Well…this is all my fault."

Sam leant forward in his chair as I frowned. "What do you mean?" I asked.

"Um…I followed Bells earlier and stole her clothes. And then I informed the police that there was criminal activity taking place in that spot." he rushed. My mouth fell to the floor.

In a swift motion, Sam rose from his seat and lunged at Paul, punching him right around the face. "Sam!" I yelled and leaped forward, pulling him away.

"Sam that's out of order." I said, shaking my head. I pushed him back into the armchair and pulled Paul up.

"Are you ok?" I asked nicely, rubbing his cheek.

"Yeah, I'm good." he smiled softly and Sam growled wildly.

"That's good." I cooed, stoking his cheek again. The just as quickly as Sam, I pulled my fist back and sprung it forward again. Slamming it into his jaw.

"Owwww!" he whine.

I blinked at him and then went and hopped into Sam's lap. Wiggling in comfortably and wrapping my arms around his neck. "Good going baby." he praised, kissing me on the cheek.

"Aww, Bells, you know I'm sorry. It was just for a laugh." Paul whined.

"Yeah well, I got perved on by the police and I didn't like it. Why does it always happen to me?" I sighed and shook my head.

"Because you're hot." Leah and Kim said at the same time. We all giggled.

"Why, thank you." I said dramatically. "We need to have a girl-only sleepover soon. Discuss our men and so on, so forth. We really need to execute our get-Kim-laid plan." I said.

"Yeah that's true. When do you wanna do it?" Leah said.

"Erm…around graduation? Sammy's birthday is soon so I need to get stuff down for that. I expect you all to be at his house at eleven o'clock. Not before, not after." I stared them all done.

"Sam's birthday is ages away." Embry whine.

"Two weeks, Em. Two weeks." I huffed and crossed my arms. Sam chuckled in my ear.

"You don't have to do anything, Bells. Just you, spread out naked on my bed will do." he said huskily. Everyone else chuckled.

"NO! We are doing this properly. You're having a good birthday, with presents and cake. Homemade cake!" I huffed again.

He sighed but he still had a smile on his face, "Ok…if you insist."

"You seem to think you had a choice anyway. You really didn't."

"Ok, ok. Whatever. What you getting me?" he smiled cutely.

"Not tellin'." I smirked and he pouted, giving me the look. "No don't do that." I was about to give in when a knock came from the front door. "I'll get it!" I jumped up and ran to the door.

I pulled it open to reveal the family that lived in the house to the other side of mine. The Hamiltons. Linda and Carlos and their two kids Hunter whose six and Dana whose a month old. Linda and Carlos looked distraught.

"What's wrong, Linda?"

"Oh, honey, you're here. We tried next door but you weren't there. I came here to see if Billy was available to look after the kids. My fathers just had a stroke and we need to go see him." she sobbed, tucking a strand of her brown hair behind her ear.

"Well, Billy's not here but I can take them." I said. It would be easier for me than Billy anyways. Imagine him looking after a month old baby.

"Oh, are you sure?" she hiccupped.

"Of course. Don't be silly." I smiled and held my hands out for Dana, she handed her over and I pulled her to my chest. "Come here, Hunter, you can jump all over the guys." I wink at him and he giggled and ran over to me, hugging my leg.

"Oh, honey, thank you so much." Carlos said, rubbing his wife's back. "We shouldn't be too long."

"Don't worry about it. Want me to make Hunter some dinner later. Have you got milk for Dana?"

Carlos handed me a bag full of baby stuff. I thanked him and slung it over my shoulder. "You don't need to put yourself out." Linda sniffed.

"Is he allergic to anything?" I asked, they seemed surprised that I would bother.

"No, just fill him with junk or whatever Billy has lying around." Carlos smiled.

"Thank you again, Bella. You're a star." Linda smiled

"No worries. Come back here for them when your home. Take you're time." I winked and they smiled and bid their children goodbye, kissed me on the cheek and left.

"Come on then Hunter. Lets go into the living room." I ruffled his hair with my free hand and then lifted Dana from my chest and held her out in front of me, making funny faces at her as we moved. She was so cute. Sucking half on her bottom lip into her mouth and blinking at me with wide green eyes.

We got into the living room and everyone looked at me with weird expression as I cooed at a smiling Baby.

"That was quick. I thought you and Sam would at least wait a few months." Kim smirked.

"Ha ha. The Hamiltons had to go to the hospital. Linda's dad had a stroke."

"Oh…that sucks. Come here Hunter. Man, you've gotten big." Jacob patted the seat next to him and Hunter giggled and ran over.

"Yep, I have. Soon I'm gunna be this big." he smiled, spanning his arms as wide as they would go.

"That big?" I gaped and laughed when he nodded his head vehemently, his eyes wide.

Dana gurgled in my arms, I kissed her on the nose and laid her on my chest, her small head resting on my shoulder, her lips trying to suckle my skin as her hands felt around.

"Aw so sweet." Leah laughed and Rye nodded. I rolled my eyes.

"She might be hungry." I said.

Hunter nodded, "Mommy hasn't fed her for a long time. Since she got a phone call." he smiled.

I put my little finger at the corner of Dana's mouth, she opened up and moved her head to take my finger in her mouth and began to suckled. "Yeah, she's hungry. Lets fill up that little belly of yours shall we." I cooed.

"Please tell me your not going to breastfeed her." Brady gaped.

I pulled a face at him, "Of course I'm not going to breastfeed her. One: that's gross. Two: I don't even have any milk." I shook my head and Collin whacked him on the arm.

I walked over to Sam who had the weirdest expression on his face. His hands were gripping the arm of the chair. His eyes were sort of…begging, pleading…I dunno what that was about.

"What up with you?" I asked, shaking him from his reverie. He shook his head and then looked into my eyes, his were begging again. I frowned, "What?" he looked from me to Dana and back again, his eyes the same. That when I caught the drift. "NO! No, no no."

"Please…baby, come on, please." he pleaded. I threw the baby bag at him.

"Get a bottle out." I huffed. He pouted and pulled out a bottle of milk. She must have expressed into it.

"Bells, come on, it will be amazing. Please." he pouted.

"What the hell are they talking about?" I heard Rylan asked, the others were looking at us weird.

"No Sam. I am way too young to be a mother." I sighed. Everyone 'Ohhh'd' and the cleared their throats.

I took to bottle from him and walked to the kitchen and popped it into the microwave. Put it on for and bit and when it was warm enough I walked back to the living room. Sitting well away from Mr. Broody over there.

I cradled Dana in my arms and tested the temperature of the milk again before popping the teat in her mouth. Her eyes widened and then she started suckling at a speed that shocked me. I chuckled at her and stroked the thick mop of black hair on her head.

"I'm gunna bring Claire over." Quil said, getting up.

"Ahh, yeah. I cant wait to see her again." I smiled. I had met Claire the other day and she was so cute.

Quil smiled, "I'll be right back." he said and walked out.

"So, Hunter, what do you want to do?" I asked.

He thought for a second, tapping his finger on his chin. "I wanna jump on Jacob." he said.

I chuckled, "That's a great idea. Jake, floor now!"

"Yes mistress." he sighed and laid on the floor. Hunter giggled and pounced on his back and started jumping up and down.

"That's it Hunter. Make sure you jump real hard on his kidneys." Kim giggled. Jake glared at her and the whipped around real fast and grabbed Hunter, holding him in the air above him. Hunter burst out into cute giggles as Jake shook him gently.

"Gotcha now!" Jake said evilly and then place Hunter on the floor and started tickling him to death. Us girls 'Aww'd' at the same time.

Sam was still staring at me the same way and I sighed, "Sam, come on. I'm seventeen."

"You'll be eighteen soon."

"In September that's ages away…and still, that too young for me." I checked the bottle as saw that Dana only had a bit to go. She really was hungry.

"But look, you're perfect for it. Please. Imagine a little girl running around looking like you." he sighed dreamily.

"Sam, come off it. Bella's still young. Still in school. Give her a break." Leah shook her head.

"She only has a few weeks of school left and then there is no reason we cant start then. Even if we got pregnant now she wouldn't show at that time."

I frowned, "Sam. No. end of." Dana finished her bottle so I put it in Embry's lap and sat her up in my lap, one hand on her chest and around her cheeks to keep her head up and the other rubbing her back. "Jake have you got any balloons?" I asked, my voice too quiet for Hunter to hear.

"Um…yeah I think I have some left over from Claire's birthday." he hopped up and went to the kitchen, I could hear him digging around the draws and then huffing so I gathered he found some. He came out with his arms full of balloons blown up to bursting point.

"AHH! Balloons!" Hunter yelled and started jumped to reach them. Jake kept them out of his reach, teasing him and then let them all go. Hunter squealed and started chasing them. Jared and Paul and Jake started playing with him and it was so cute to watch.

I was patting Dana on the back when she burped, bringing a little white baby-puke with it. It spilled out and dribbled over my hand. I patted her back again.

"Hey, Sam, can you chuck me over a few baby wipes, please." I said, look at him. He huffed childishly and then grabbed me some wipes and came over. He gently wiped Dana's mouth while cooing at her, and I'll admit it was sweet to watch. He'd be a really good father. Then he used a fresh wipe to clean up my hand. When he was done he scrunched the wipe up and kissed me gently. "See you'd be a great mom, you don't even whine when you get baby-sick on you." he raised an eyebrow but before I could reply he walked out to put the wipes in the bin.

Quil returned with Claire at that point. She was real adorable today. Her hair up in high pigtails and a nice pink dress on, with white opaque tights and little pink shoes.

"Hi, Claire." I smiled and she started bouncing in Quil's arms.

"Bells, bells, bells!" she chanted, giggling.

Quil put her down and she came right over and kissed me on the cheek. Then she spotted the balloons and Hunter and went straight to play as I laid Dana back down in my arms. Her little eyes drooping tiredly. She was a good baby, not crying at all so far. She was fast asleep the second time I looked down at her.

Everyone started chatting again and it felt weirdly like the future was flashing in my eyes. Us all piled in one house, with children around. Only I wished some of the others would Imprint soon. It would be cute to see who Paul got. And Jacob…ah god, when Jake imprints it will be great. Shocking to have to share him but great. And Brady, I wonder if Brady will imprint. The lil' perv wouldn't know how to charm if instructions bit him on the ass.

Sam's little sulk was still ongoing. But there was no way I was popping a baby out right now. Getting that large and then have something that big and round shoot out of me…I don't think so. Anyways I have this thing where I need to be married before having babies. I don't want a bastard, even though I don't have anything against other people having babies without being married. I'm just weird. Of course, it an unexpected pregnancy happened I wouldn't shun it. I was down for having Sam to myself for a few years.

At about seven o'clock, I looked at the little ones playing. Claire and Hunter had been playing hide and seek and now they were sprawled out on the floor.

"I'm going to mawwy Qwil when I'm big." Claire said sweetly. Mawwy was obviously suppose to be marry.

"Looks like you wont have much convincing to do, aye Quil." Paul teased the now smiling Quil.

"Who you gunna mawwy?" Claire asked Hunter. They were way to young to be having this conversation.

"Bella!" Hunter smiled at me and giggled, blushing a little. Everyone laughed.

Claire leaned into him, as if to tell him a secret but said it loud anyways, "But Bells gonna mawwy Sam." she had a look on her face that said she felt sorry for Hunter.

Hunter shrugged, "She will marry me too." he said. Both the children nodded as if that made sense.

I giggled as shook my head, standing and passed a still sleeping Dana to Sam. He held her in his arms and looked down at her, stroking her hair and cheek.

"Ok, I'm going to made some dinner. Chicken alright?" I asked the children. The others will eat what I give them.

"Yep!" the kids said.

I made my way to the kitchen and pulled out a load of chicken breasts from the fridge and seasoned them, then grilled them off. I cooked some veggies and grabbed some potatoes and chopped them up to made some fries and then instead of frying them, put them on a tray and put them in the oven. Way healthier that way.

Once dinner was ready I plated up Hunter and Claire with smaller plates. Cutting up their chicken into bite sized pieces and put their plates on the table.

"Come on you two. Dinners ready." I smiled and they both ran up, plonked down and tucked right in.

I got plates for the others and let them chose the amount they wanted. I took Dana from Sam so that he could go eat and sat back down on the couch. Everyone grabbed their food and made their way back into the room. Quil went to sit up at the table with Claire and Hunter and the others just went back to the couch or sat on the floor.

Sam sat on the arm of the chair next to me, his plate in his lap. "You want me to grab you some?" he asked.

"Nah, I'm good, I'd need hands to eat anyways. I'll get some later." I smiled at him and he leaned down and kissed my lips.

"It'll be cold."

"I'll warm it up. Just eat, boy!" I giggled. He shoved some chicken into his mouth.

"Why do these Fries taste a lil different?" Brady asked.

"They're oven baked. Healthy." I smiled and he pulled a face and then shrugged, shoving another fry in his mouth.

"They are good." he shoved more into his mouth.

"Here, eat this." Sam said, I turned to him and almost poked my eye out on the chicken he was presenting me. I opened my mouth and he popped it in and then sucked off any remains on his fingers.

I saw Hunter poking his broccoli with a screwed up face on. "What's up Hunter."

"I don't like this tree!" he said.

I smiled, "Have you tried it?"

"Well…no." he sighed and poked it again, stabbing it with his fork and then holding it up in front of his face.

"Go on, try it and if you still don't like it then you can leave it." I encouraged.

He put it in his mouth and chewed, his face becoming less disgusted the more he chew until he was happily eating and stabbing another one and popping it into his mouth.

"How did you do that? I tried to get him to taste it and he wouldn't." Quil gaped.

I giggled, "Give him the choice. The more you tell him he should the less he's going to want to. I also made sure that he knew I wasn't going to make him eat anymore than that of he didn't want." I shrugged. "Easy really."

Dana sniffled in my arms and I looked down to see her waking up. I started the count down in my head from five to zero and exactly on zero she belted out a cry. I stood up and rocked her in my arms, patting her bottom with the hand that was under her. She quietened down quickly but I knew it was time to change her.

I got all the stuff from the bag and then laid out the changing mat. I quickly changed her wet diaper and put on a new one. I chucked the dirty one out and the washed my hands and picked her up again.

"When you two are done we can make cookies." I said, kissing Hunter on the head and smiling at Claire.

"COOKIES!" They squealed.

I chuckled and went over to the guys, "Ok, who wants a hold. I'm going to get all the ingredients out."

"Ooo, me, me. I do!" Leah yelled out. I chuckled and handed Dana over. "Aww, she's sooo cute." she cooed.

I went to the kitchen, kissing Sam on the way and stealing one of his fries and chomping on it, he swatting my butt and chuckled. I searched around the kitchen for ingredients and found mainly everything but jogged back home and grabbed some white and milk chocolate chips from the cupboards. We always had baking stuff in our house.

I got all the equipment out as Hunter and Claire came barrelling in, Quil bringing all the plates in and started washing them up. I thanked him and lifted the kids up onto a stool at the table. We spent a little while mixing and adding things. It was fun. When the trays went in the oven the children went to play and Quil help me wipe down the sides.

"Sam's right you know." he said, smiling.

"Huh?" I frowned.

"You really would make a great mother." he chuckled and walked out, leaving me to gape after him. That's all I need, another one for Sam's side. I stayed and cleaned up the kitchen until the cookies were ready, I pulled them out and left them on the side to cool. Then I separated some of onto a different paper plate and covered them in plastic wrap to give to Linda and Carlos when they came back.

I brought all the others out into the living room. Claire and Hunter squealed and grabbed two each. I grabbed one and wolfed it down and the others help themselves.

It was about nine when Linda and Carlos came back. Quil had already taken Claire home by that time and I was keeping a sleepy Hunter amused as Dana gurgled in Kim's lap. The door went and Hunter jumped up. Kim handed Dana back to me and I grabbed the baby bag. I walked to the door and opened it.

"Hey there." I said as Hunter launched himself at Carlos.

Linda smiled, she looked a lot better, "Hi. How have they been?"

"Great. It was really fun. Anytime you want to go out or have a night to yourselves." I wiggled my eyebrows making them both laugh, "I'd be happy to sit for you." I handed Dana back to Linda. "Oh, wait a sec." I skipped to the kitchen and grabbed the plate of cookies.

"What are these." Carlos asked.

"Cookies, daddy. Bella let us help her make some." he smiled.

"Aww, that was nice of her. What do we say to Bella for looking after you?" Linda took the cookies and thanked me.

"Thank you Bells." Hunter yelled dramatically. I giggled.

"You're very welcome, handsome. How's your dad?" I asked.

"He'll be fine. It wasn't too bad. Thank you again, honey." Linda ran a hand through her hair and shoved a fifty into my hand.

"Oh, no, Linda. That isn't necessary. It was a favor and I enjoyed it." holding it out for her to take back.

"No, please. I wont take it back. Thank you." she smiled and they all walked off.

I closed the door, the fifty still in my hand. I walked back into the living room and shook my head. Shoving the money in my pocket and sighed.

"Did you seriously look bad about putting a fifty in your pocket." Brady asked. It was then I noticed Collin and Brady's seating position. The sat crossed legged but their knees overlapped. They always sat were they're knees or legs were touching.

"Well I didn't want them to pay me. I feel bad." I pouted.

"Bella. Don't worry, its up to them." Sam said, pulling me into his lap and wrapping his arms around me waist.

"What you gunna spend it on?" Paul asked.

"I'm not. I've started saving some cash…for the future." I mumbled. I felt Sam smiling into my neck and nip me.

"What for…like your wedding or something?" Collin asked.

"No, just for anything. And emergency stash." I sighed.

"Why would you need that when you can use your credit card?" Jared said.

I sighed, "Cause I have to be independent. I cant always rely on Phil's money. That wouldn't be fair."

"You have my money to rely on. Maybe I should get you a debit card from my account…or at least make it a joint account." Sam said, mainly to himself I think.

"No, its your money." I sighed.

"What's mine is yours." he smirked.

"And what's mine is mine." I giggled as he tickled my sides. "Ok, ok, lets go. I need to grab my bag from your bedroom."

"Why?"

"Cause I need to take it home." I said, that was obvious wasn't it.

"It can stay there." he whispered.

"Nope. Get of your ass, mister."

"Fine." he huffed.

We said goodnight to everyone and drove back to Sam's. He was distracting me with kisses on my neck as we walked up the stairs to the bedroom. I need to go home tonight. I haven't slept in my bed for ages and Rye doesn't mind pointing that out. He and Leah are currently looking around and have their eye on a bungalow.

I got to Sam's bedroom and pushed open the door. My little overnight bag was sitting on the bed and I walked over to it and make sure everything was in the right place.

"Alright baby. I'm off." I said. I grabbed his shirt and pulled him in for a deep kiss. Then patted him on the ass and made my way out, only to be stopped at the bedroom door.

"Where are you going?" Sam asked, his voice stern and sexy.

"Erm…home." I frowned. He raised an eyebrow.

"Oh, I don't think so." he growled and my heart skipped a beat. "You need to be severely punished for being arrested. You were a very naughty girl."

I gulped loud enough for us both to hear and he smirked. Looking me up and down he ordered me to strip. I was out of my clothes faster than a nun running from a sex shop.

"Now come here. Over my knee." he perched on the edge of the bed. I thanked the lord for bringing Paul and his idiotic ways into the world and I gingerly laid my stomach over Sam's knees. One of his hands rested on the back of my neck, my head left hanging so I was staring at the floor, his other hands spanned on my rear, stroking softly.

"Good girl. You know if the other guys at work weren't so jealous of me when you walked in, it could have ruined my reputation." I could hear the smirk in his voice as he pulled his hand back and brought it forward at a speed. It landed hard against my ass, my back arched as I yelped loudly and the smacking sound rung in my ears. I felt the tingle of pain as he rubbed my cheek gently. I moaned in pleasure.

"The cop and the troublemaker. That will be one to tell the kids." he chuckled, "Oh, baby, you look so good like this. I have a feeling you're going to enjoy this punishment" he said as he brought his hand down hard again.

Did I enjoy my punishment? Boy, did I ever!
