Hey guys, as usual, I do not own anything twilight. Sadly, the amazing Stephanie Meyers does.

Sam's POV

While Bella was at school, Charlie had called me, asking me to meet him. Bella didn't know it, but we were arranging a surprise party. The only part that had me worried was, she hated surprises! She had made this very clear to me a few weeks ago, when I asked her what she'd like for her birthday. She told me I was allowed to get her a small gift, but that was it. Then she told me, she hated people making a fuss about her, and especially surprises. I wasn't sure Bella would like this, but I knew Charlie would throw it with or without my help.

"So, I need a list of people. You know everyone she talks to on the Reservation. I know some of her friends from school, the thing is… I need you to steal her phone and get those numbers!" Charlie said to me. I looked at him.
"Bella is not going to like this Charlie… She made that very clear to me a couple of weeks ago." I said nervous.

"She will love it!" Charlie said smiling brighter than I thought he could. I sighed.
"I have arranged for Sue to bake a cake for me, I have gotten her a Camera, and Renee is planning on surprising her at the party. Bella will love this!" He said smiling to himself. I sighed as we went over the details. I knew I had only been dating Bella a couple of weeks, but I had a really bad feeling about this.
"Perhaps I should call Alice, and see if she can make it. Bella and Alice were really good friends!" Charlie said eagerly. I groaned slightly at the thought of a Cullen being at her party. As it was, this was being thrown at Billy's with a bbq. I had to tell Bella I had to go there to pick something up from Billy, when really, I was driving her too her doom.

"She is going to kill me." I said under my voice.
"Jake's got the decorations set. He is going with purple and black, since Bella seems to really like purple." Charlie said writing down notes.
"Do you think some of your friends would come? I know she likes them… theres that Paul guy, and Jared. I know Jake said Embry would be there. I hear that Old Quil's grandson also gets along with you all, maybe I should get Jake to invite him too." He babbled. I sighed. Quil… I wasn't sure it was a good idea. He had finally joined our pack two nights ago, and he was struggling with the idea of being a wolf, and that I had put a gag on Jacob and Embry from telling him. He liked that he was now in on the secret, but he hated it.

"Ah, I'll check with Quil. I know he's going through a bit." I said to him. Charlie looked up surprised.
"Oh, well, that's fine. What about Harry's kids? I don't want them feeling left out." He said to me. I shook my head.
"Seth has never met Bella, and I don't think inviting Leah to my girlfriends party is a good idea." I said to him. He looked up a little confused.
"You do know that Leah and I dated for a few years. I broke up with her a little over six months ago, and she didn't take it all that well. I don't want her to have to watch me with Bella." I said a little awkward. Charlie had seemed stunned.
"Well, yes I can see why we shouldn't invite her." He said to me. I nodded.

The list of Charlie's wants was fairly long, but I could tell this meant a great deal to him. He kept saying how he had missed out on most of her birthdays, and he wanted this to be the best yet. I was thankful when he said he was finished. It meant I could go. I had decided on buying Bella a small gold necklace with a wolf on it. I thought it was a good way for her to symbolise me, until that day we chose for me to mark her, if I ever did.

I drove into Seattle. It was very rare I could go here. I had to get permission from Old Quil and Billy, and talk to my pack to stay alert while I was gone.

I went to a Jewellery Store called Middleton's Family Jewellers, in the main city. I had called days ago and placed my order from online. I was looking forward to being able to place it around Bella's neck. I smiled as I walked in. It wasn't very well known, and I found them to be the cheapest to create beautiful little pieces.

"Hi sir, can I help you?" Asked a woman perhaps a year or two older than me. She was dressed professionally and wore little pieces of jewels. She had strawberry blond hair and was about Bella's height.

"I'm here to pick up my order." I said quickly. She smiled brightly.
"And your name is?" She flirted. I sighed.

"It's for Uley." I stated simply, not giving her my first name. She went to a locked file, shifting through pages.
"Ah here we are, Uley, Sam." She said smiling.
"I'm Courtney." She said to me. I ignored the obvious attempt to start a conversation.
"I'll go get it." She said, looking a little confused. I watched as she walked out the back. While she was gone, I browsed the little rings they had on offer. My eyes fell on a small gold band with a small row of iced diamonds. I smiled, thinking how lovely the ring would eventually look on Bella's finger. It was simple yet looked beautiful.
"Here we are Sam." Came the girl. I turned and faced her. She took the necklace out of the packet. I smiled, loving the wolf.
"It is a very beautiful and unique piece. Would you like to wear it now?" She asked, gently licking her lips.
"It's not for me. It's for my girlfriend. She loves her wolves." I said with a little grin. I watched her face drop at the mention of the word 'girlfriend'.

"Well, shall I pack it?" She asked, no longer flirting.
"In a black velvet case please, and if possible, make the lining purple." I stated. She gave a fake smile and walked away. I turned back to the rings. I smiled softly at the ring once more.
"Hows this?" She asked holding open a case. I smiled, it was the perfect box.
"Perfect, thank you." I said to her. I watched her slip it inside the case.
"Is that all today?" She asked, suddenly now very professional. I shook my head.

"No, how much for the ring?"

Bella's POV

I crossed my arms at Sam. He was being very coy about his reasoning for us to go out to Billy's. I was dressed nicely, as he had said it was a date. I had actually gone into town and purchased a black cocktail dress that was rather pretty and very comfortable. It showed the perfect amount of cleavage, and was rather flowing just after the chest.
"Sam, why don't you just tell me what we're going to pick up?" I attempted to ask again. Sam shook his head.
"I can't Bell's. This is Quileute secret." He answered, pulling into the driveway. I opened the car door as Sam got out.
"It's just around the back, I swear it'll only take a few minutes." He promised. I took his hand as we began to go out the back. I squealed in fright, as a group of about twenty shouted "Surprise!" I suddenly glared at Sam.
"Happy Birthday Bella!" People cheered. I looked around everyone, feeling my face flame in heat.
"Sam, why did you do this to me?!" I said slightly shaking. He shook his head and pointed to my dad as Charlie came up, sweeping me into a hug.
"Happy birthday Bell's!" He said smiling brightly. I tried to mimic his smile.
"Thanks Dad." I said looking at panic and people grouped around me, wanting to wish me a happy birthday.
"Bella!" Came my mother's voice. I turned, my mouth dropping to the floor.
"Mum?!" I said stunned, as she pulled me into a very tight embrace.
"Oh look how beautiful you are!" She started to sob. I looked to dad, who was smiling. I turned to look at Sam, who was now attempting very hard to send me an apologetic look. Billy was next to hug me, once Renee released me. I was passed around from person to person.
"How bout we get things cooking?!" Charlie called. People all cheered. It was about half an hour later, before I was finally free to return to Sam. I glared slightly at him.
"I did try and tell your dad it's a bad idea, but he was very adamant that this would be your best birthday yet." Sam said softly, as he held out a hand. I smiled and took it.
"I think I should probably introduce you to my mum." I suggested. He nodded, as I began leading him to a small group, where Renee was chatting with Billy, and to my surprise, Sue Clearwater.
"Happy birthday Bella." Sue said softly smiling.
"Thanks." I said for what seemed the millionth time that afternoon.
"Mum, I want you to meet someone special to me. This is Sam, my boyfriend." I said to her as she smiled at us.
"Oh Sam, Charlie's told me all about you!" She said suddenly hugging him. I sighed, Renee had always been a hugger.
"Oh, ah… nice to meet you too." He said a little unsure. I smiled.
"Well, we'll get to know each other really well, as I'm staying at Charlie's for the next to days before returning to my Phil." She said smiling. I looked at her.
"Why didn't Phil come?" I asked. She smiled softly.
"It's training. He's been so busy he hasn't had a day off in two weeks." She said smiling. I nodded.
"Well, we're going to say hello to some friends." I said to her. I pulled Sam away, leading him to his pack.

"Here the birthday girl is, having fun Bella?" Paul asked. I smiled softly.
"It was definitely a surprise." I stated, sounding a little annoyed.
"Yeah well, you're not the only one with a surprise." Snickered Jared. I turned and faced him, and his girlfriend Kim. I had only met her a few moments ago, but she'd seemed fairly nice.

"Meaning what?" I asked, now fairly curious. I watched as Paul suddenly blushed.
"What?" I asked as I looked from Sam, to Jared and back to Paul.
"Did you meet Rachel? Jake's sister?" Jared asked. I nodded, looking to where Rachel Black stood with her little brother. I was a little surprised by the glares Jacob was throwing towards Paul. My jaw suddenly dropped as it all fell into place. I turned to Paul.
"You didn't?!" I asked smiling. He slowly nodded.
"Paul Lahote imprinted on Billy Black's eldest daughter." Jared clarified, as Embry and Quil burst out with laughter. Sam looked at them.
"Enough." He said sternly. They quickly stopped, but I could tell they were still laughing on the inside.
"Does Billy know?" I asked Paul. Paul nodded.

"He took it fine. I think he realised as soon as I met her, but Jacob… I think he wants to tear me to shreds." He answered honestly. I looked back at Rachel. She was about my height, perhaps a little taller. She had hair just past her shoulders, and she was rather beautiful. I had seen photos of Jacob's mother, and Rachel seemed very much the image of her. I also knew that Rachel had a twin sister called Rebecca. I knew Rebecca hardly had time to visit, as she was married with a few kids.
"When are you going to tell her?" I asked Paul. He shrugged, glancing over.
"I guess when I can get her away from Jacob. He seemed fairly annoyed the moment he realised, as well as has been shielding her from me." He said with a sigh. I looked at Sam.
"Send Jacob on a perimeter run. So it doesn't look back, send Jared first. When Jared gets back, then Paul, and eventually everyone else, but this way, we can intervene a little and give Paul a chance." I suggested. Paul looked at Sam, who was now smiling.
"Like father like daughter." Sam said to me. Everyone burst out laughing.
"Sam Uley, do as you are told! Bella's idea rocks!" Kim seconded. I smiled at the girl. She was rather tall, much taller then I was. Her hair was cut above her shoulders and it was very wavy. She had light brown eyes, that were softly gifted with long eyelashes. She seemed the perfect fit for Jared.

"Fine, but I don't want to have to deal with Jacob's temperament when it comes to Rachel." He growled. I smirked, as Jared took his cue.
"Perimeter run, an hour?" He asked. Sam gave a nod. I watched Jared kiss Kim.
"Be back soon." He said taking off. I smiled at Paul.
"Don't worry; I know how to work this. I will get you and Rachel some personal time; even if Jacob Black thinks he can stop me." I said smiling. Paul grinned.
"Sam, I think you may just have your hands full with her." He said smiling a lot more. Sam pulled me under his arm.
"And I wouldn't change it at all." He said to him.

Everyone was very content after all the burgers were made. Jacob stayed glued to his sister, and I could tell she was getting very sick of it and very fast.
"Jake, you're up." Sam said looking to Jake who looked confused.
"Perimeter." Sam said simply. Jacob slight glared.
"Jacob, your turn, now move." Sam enforced. Jacob stood, glaring at Paul before doing as he'd been told. Just as Jacob left, Jared returned. I stood and walked to him.
"In the kitchen, is two rather large servings of everything." I said smiling.

"Thanks Bella, you are awesome!" He said heading towards the house. I smiled as Paul stood, walking over to Rachel. I walked to Sam who was now seated near Charlie, Sue, Renee and Billy.

"Where is Jacob off to?" Charlie asked. I shrugged.
"I think he had something small to take care of." Billy interjected. I smiled at him.
"It's fine dad, he'll be back shortly." I said sitting on Sam's lap.
"What about birthday presents?" Renne asked eagerly. I looked at her and groaned.
"Come on Bella! Nothing like opening presents!" She said standing up and walking to a table that had a few bags of gifts on it. She took a pink one, and walked over.
"From Phil and I." She said excited. I took it, opening it up. Inside was an envelope. I opened the envelope and pulled out two plane tickets.
"It's so you can come to Florida and visit us!" She said excited. I smiled at her.
"Thanks Mum." I said as she hugged me.
"I'm next!" Came Billy.
"It's from Jacob and I." He said softly. I took it out, smiling a weaved band.
"It's from our people." He said to me as Sam took it, and placed it around my wrist.
"Thank you. I love it." I said smiling at the red, brown and black band.
"Here Bell's, this is from me." Dad said to me. I smiled and took out a box. It was a brand new Panasonic pink camera.
"Dad, this is great." I said to him. He smiled.
"Your mum suggested it." He said smiling. I smiled.
"Thank you." I said hugging him.
"Well, I think that just leaves mine." Sam said standing, and walking to a small purple gift bag. He took it and held it out to me. I smiled and took the bag. I slid my hand in, and took out the small velvet case. I slowly opened it and stared at it. I smiled at the small gold wolf necklace. Sam reached out, taking it. I was speechless, as he softly placed it around my neck and did up the clasp.
"Sam, it's beautiful." I said tracing the wolf softly with my finger. He smiled as I hugged him.
"Thankyou." I said a little emotional. I had never had much jewellery, and never really cared about it, but this necklace felt great upon my neck. I felt proud to wear it, knowing it symbolised my place in the pack.
"Give me a look!" Renee squealed a little excitedly as she looked at the wolf.

"Oh Bella, it is beautiful. He has great taste." She said smiling. I nodded, still gently tracing the wolf.

I laid in Sam's arms. The party had ended a little after eight, but I was in no rush to go home.

"Sam, I really do love the wolf." I said softly. He smiled at me. We were lazing on the couch, just flicking through channels.
"I wanted something to symbolise you." He said softly. I smiled.
"Well thankyou!" I moved up, softly dropping my mouth to his. I had never felt anything like the emotion I had at that precise moment. I looked into his eyes.
"Sam Uley, I think I love you." I said softly. He smiled, kissing me.
"And I love you Bella Swan." He said softly cupping my cheek in his hand, bringing his mouth to mine. He took my hand as he sat up.
"I think we should get you home, and we can play more tomorrow." He said grinning. I shook my head at him.
"I don't want to go home." I pouted playfully. He kissed me, wrapping his arms around me, and lifting me off the couch. I laughed as he threw me over his shoulder.
"Sam Uley! Put Me Down!" I laughed as he walked outside. I laughed as he opened the car door, placing me into the passenger seat. I laughed at him, unable to stop myself.
"That wasn't so hard, was it?!" He asked grinning. I shook my head at him, unable to contain myself from the giggles. I played with the necklace the entire way home. I had never had as much fun with a person, sitting and doing nothing, as I had with Sam. I knew it would always be like this, and it made me slightly giddy. I smiled, there was nothing that could ruin my night. Yes I had hated the surprise party idea, and was really trying hard to play along, but nothing could have ruined Sam presenting me with the necklace. At that moment of thought, Charlie's house came to sight. Instantly, my heart raced, and everything seemed to change. I had been wrong, because there had been something to ruin my night, and I had no idea it was back in town. There, standing at the door stood Edward.

Well what do you think! I had fun writing this chapter. I don't like cliff hangers but I just had too! What do you think Edward wants?

I had to get Bella to say I Love You to Sam, and please don't think it's too fast :/ Sam and Bella have been together for a month, and they have pretty much spent every day together. Not to mention the imprinting side of things I like to think of imprinting as a sort of soul bonding moment
