CHAPTER 23

RPOV

"Okay when we get to the house you take care of the little ones and I will try to reach the others. It will only be a matter of time before they get back." I smiled.

What a hero I would be, not only did I find Bella, but I was able to help her bring the twins home. The others would be thrilled. I was happy. Truly happy. Not because I was a hero, actually, I realized I didn't care what the others thought of me. Edward would be happy, actually over the moon with joy. His true love and his children.

We made it into the house and Bella made her way to Edward's room with the babies. I could hear her talking to them. She really was a good mom.

I allowed myself to daydream for a little while, thinking what it would be like to be a mom. I shook the thoughts away and went to the phone. I would settle for being the world's best Aunty.

I started dialing everyone's numbers one after the other, but I had no luck. I picked up the phone and I had dialed the Denali coven to see if they had any information when I first smelled them. I dropped the phone and ran to the front door throwing it open.

There were four huge wolves standing there flanking a dark skinned man in the middle. He was only wearing a pair of dirty sweat pants.

"What are you doing here?" I asked them.

The four wolves growled in return but the man raised his arm to silence them.

"We have come about the Chief's daughter. About Isabella Swan." He said.

"What about her? Why is it any of your business?" I asked.

"We protect people, humans. Our treaty is very specific. Have any of you harmed her?" he asked.

"No of course we haven't." I said. "The rest of my family will be here soon, you need to leave."

"One of my brothers saw her enter the house. He says she is no longer human.." The bronze skinned man said.

"That's true she isn't. But it had nothing to do with my family." I said.

The largest brown haired wolf snarled viciously and the man again quieted him.

"That will be for us to judge. We must see Isabella." He said.

"Look I don't think that is such a great idea. She is a newborn and all. Wait until the family gets here and you may see her." I said.

"We will see her now Leech!!" He yelled, "or we will consider you in violation of the treaty and attack."

"We have done nothing to violate the treaty. We didn't even know if the wolves existed anymore, yet we still kept our end. We have not crossed the line nor have we bitten a human." I said, stepping back into the living room. I could take any one of these wolves down at anytime, but four or five was beyond me . I had to do what I could to protect Bella and the babies, only I didn't know what it was exactly I should do. Bella, hearing the commotion downstairs, made the decision for me. She stood at the top of the stairs, the twins in her arms and looked down at the situation.

"Who are you?" She asked tentatively. The tone in her voice held more anger than fear though.

"I am Sam. Leader of the tribe. The Quileutes." He said.

"Jacob's tribe?" She said.

The brown haired wolf snarled and then whimpered.

"Yes," he said. "What has happened to you? Who has done this to you? One of these leeches?"

"No! The Cullens have done nothing! If you must know it was him". She said, lifting the tiny bundle in her left arm.

"What is that?" The man snarled.

I stepped back as he started to tremble. I knew that a change was coming. He ripped out of his sweats into a large snarling black wolf. I raced up the stairs to Bella's side. I took up a defensive crouch.

"You see." I yelled down. "The treaty is unbroken. Now leave us."

I had never been more furious. I had never been more scared. The wolves stood in the living room, which was now in complete disarray. The wolves stood snarling for a minute before the brown wolf dashed out the door. I looked at the remaining wolves, not sure what to do. For me that was something.

It was very silent. The only noise I could hear was the tiny fluttering sound of the twins' hearts and the thundering sound of the wolves hearts.

A russet skinned young man walked through the door after a few moments, looking up at us with a mix of hate and something else.

"Bella?" He called. "Is that really you?"

"Jacob? Yes it's me. What the heck is going on here?" She asked.

"I told you about us. Well I didn't know then that it was true, but I told you we were protectors." He said.

"Jacob, the Cullens haven't done anything. The treaty is fine." She said.

"What are those? Do you not think they count?" He asked, "They're his aren't they?"

"Yes, but nobody knew it was possible Jake. It wasn't supposed to happen." She said.

"His actions have caused this. We consider the treaty broken.." He said

"So what Jake? You're going to kill us?" She asked, snarling.

"No. We aren't," Jacob said glaring. "But you are going to leave here and never return."

"Can we wait for the others to return?" I asked. "They don't know about this."

"No. You have an hour to grab what you can and leave. Then we will burn the place to the ground. If the others return we will consider it an act of war." Jacob said.

With that the wolves began snarling and made their way towards the exit.

"I am doing this for you Bella," Jacob said to her, "you were my friend. Now get away from here, we don't want to kill you."

He turned and ran out. Bella and I were alone with the tiny twins.
