I do not own Twilight, it all belongs to the amazing Stephanie Meyers

Sam's POV

Four days, of stamina training, followed by jumping and leaping to get better at being in the air and being able to attack. I was tired, and so were the pack, but I was proud. Seth was get, never argued or complained. Collin and Brady leant on each other for support, and were a great team, but they were still so young and found it a lot tougher to stay with the group. Leah… SIGH! She had completely driven everyone insane, for arguing with me about the tasks I was asking of them. I had given up any interest of us becoming friends again, and poor Jake ended up telling her to shut it, and do what was asked. He could tell the woman was driving me insane. I hated having to get up her, but she was starting to annoy my pack. Even Seth had told her to shut up. She was great with speed, but really now, needed to learn that what I say goes.

"Seriously Sam, we shouldn't have to tolerate the leeches!" Leah growled at me. I looked at her. Once upon a time, I would have kissed her to silence her… now I just wanted to kill her!

"Leah, for the LAST time! If they can teach us how not to get killed, I'm willing to even tolerate Edward!" I growled as we trudged inside. They all took to the fridge, getting out refreshments. Jacob through me a bottle of water.
"But Sam…" Leah started.

"Geez Leah! Give it a rest!" Seth said glaring at his older sister. She looked at him and the rest of the pack, turned and stormed out, slamming the door behind her. Seth looked a me a little guilty.
"Sorry Sam." Then he took after her. I sat back as the rest of the pack took seats.
"Great job you guys." I said complimenting them.
"Our stamina was great before, but even better now. Even you pups!" I said smiling at the younger two. They smiled clinking their bottles together. Everyone laughed at the two.

"So, are we training tomorrow?" Jake asked. I shook my head.
"No, tomorrow I just want to spend time with Bella. She's been fairly upset on the phone, and yesterday was fairly hard for her. I think everyone could use the break as well." I said smiling as they all sighed in relief.
"But come Sunday, we're all back at it." I said to them.
"I want us to stay at the level we are. If we get stronger and faster, great! If not, then at least we're not going backwards." I said taking a large guzzle of my drink.
"Sweet, when are you going to talk to the Cullen's?" Embry asked me. I looked at him for a moment.
"I was thinking of doing it Sunday also. I was going to take Bella over, and have a bit of a word to Edward about how he thinks he can treat my future wife. That's if Bella's up to it." I said to them. They all murmured to themselves. I looked at the clock.
"Brady, Collin, Jake, Embry and Quil, you all have school. Get to it." I said to them, not wanting the elders coming for me, if they were all late. They all stood smiling and joking as they left. I sat with Jared and Paul.
"Hey you guys, check this out." Jared said taking out a small box out of his pocket. He was smiling as he opened it, revealing a small cluster of diamonds and rubies. I smiled.
"I'm going to propose to Kim tonight." He said excited.
"We've been together for 4 months, and I love her. I know it may seem soon, but I know she loves me." He said excited. I smiled at the thought of the little box in my cupboard in the far back where Bella wouldn't find it.
"That's great new Bro." I said smiling. Paul smiled at him.
"She's a lucky woman. If I didn't love Rachel, I would probably propose to you myself." He joked. We all laughed, as Jared put the box back in his pocket.
"I couldn't live my life without her." He said smiling shamelessly. I thought of Bella. I had missed her terribly the last few days. I missed waking up with her curved into me, and the way her laugh sounded, so how my pack got on so well with her.

"We all understand man." Paul said smiling. I looked at him.
"How is everything with Rachel?" I asked. Paul went a little red.
"She's amazing. Jake's finally gotten over it. When I'm not here or on run, I'm with her. She's so very accommodating too, so that never hurts." He said day dreaming slightly. I looked at Jared who was holding in the laugh he so badly wanted to let out.
"Who would have thought, that La Push's Hugh Heffner would fall so helplessly in love with a woman, let alone the likes of Rachel Black. Tell me, is she still fiery?" I asked grinning. That was all it took. Jared burst out with laughter, as Paul went a dark red.
"I hate you two, I really do." He said grinning and shaking his head.
"Sorry Bro, I'm glad it's going well." I said smiling.

"But I stand by what I just said. Rachel was Fiery all through school, and I can't imagine that has changed." I said knowing only too well how long that girl could hold a grudge or tear strips off someone.

I had been friends with her of course, and I was lucky never to have had her anger directed at me, but she hated the boys who used to show off, or try and impress her. She was quite fit, and could out run most of the guys. It also hadn't helped that she was rather gifted with a tongue that could tear the strongest of ego's down to a flick of nothing. I also knew though, that if she cared for you, she would fight the world to protect them. It had been horrible when Sarah Black had died. Rachel and her sister Rebecca took off, leaving Jacob to pick up the pieces. I personally believed, it was more that Rachel and her mother had a strong bond, and Rachel's heart had broken. I remember her crying when she'd been told of the car accident. She'd packed up and left right after the funeral. Her sister Rebecca was yet to return, but I couldn't see that happening. Rebecca had also been close with their mum. I believe that Bec wouldn't return, due to everything reminding her of her mum.

"Well, I batter go, I have loads of things to pick up for tonight. I am going to make it the most magical night with Kim." Jared said to us. I smiled as he walked out. Paul stood next.
"I might pop over and see Rachel. She is feeling a little frustrated with still living with Billy. I think she wants her own place." He said to me. I smiled as he walked out. I had to clean up before work, then at 8:30 pm tonight, I would go meet Charlie and Bella at the airport.

Bella's POV

It had been the hardest four days of my life. We had said goodbye to Renee yesterday. Everyone there had commented how much she was loved, and how they were there for me. The problem was, half of these people, I didn't know. There had been a few faces from my childhood I'd known, but I had rather stuck close to Charlie and Billy. Phil's team mates had all shown up for support to Phil. It was only with the knowledge that Phil wouldn't be alone that I felt okay enough to leave. Charlie had been miserable the entire time, until Billy showed up. I was thankful that we were now on the last five minutes of the flight. I was tired, dishevelled and I just wanted the man I loved to pick me up and carry me right back to his. The only upside to the trip was I was now bandage free. My hand was healed, though still rather sore.

"You excited to be able to come home Bell's?" He asked. I froze.
"Home?" I asked.
"You know, Forks." He said softly. I nodded.

"Sorry Dad… I thought you meant…" I went quiet.
"Don't worry, I plan on selling the house. I just can't live there knowing." He said softly. I looked at him.
"Where are you going to stay?" I asked. I watched as my father's face brightened in colour. I looked a little surprised by his sudden blush.

"Well, Sue has offered me to move in. Oh, and you, if you wanted to, but I thought you may want to stay with Sam, but you can move in if you want to." He said suddenly very flustered and shy. I smiled at him.
"Dad, I love you, but I would rather stay with Sam. Particularly with Leah there and all. It's strange at the best of times." I said softly. Dad nodded.

"I understand baby." He said softly.

"So why at Sue's dad? I thought perhaps Billy." I said a little confused. I watched Charlie go a little bit pink.

"She just offered. I think she gets lonely without Harry, and with Leah always out and Seth at school, I think she wanted someone to talk to. She's a great woman Bell's." He said to me. I smiled at him.
"I'm glad you found a friend dad." I said honestly.

I was thankful to stretch my legs as we walked out from the plane. I was exhausted, and looking forward to getting to Sam's, having a long shower and relaxing in bed with the man I loved. I had made it though everything, and yes, I was still hurting that Renee was gone, but I also knew she loved to live day by day, and she wouldn't want her only child sad for the rest of her life.

I smiled as I walked into the airport itself. Sam was standing near the entrance, smiling brightly at me. I had to fight the urge to run into his arms, kissing him long and passionately. I was in love with him and all it took everything I had to maintain that little bit of self-control. Instead, I walked up to him slowly, with Charlie right beside me.
"Was he always so big?" Charlie asked. I laughed lightly, walking straight into Sam's open arms and pressing my mouth into his.
"Charlie, good to see you." He said smiling as we broke the kiss.
"You too Sam." Charlie said a little awkward. I blushed.
"Sorry Dad." I said unable to now wipe the smile from my face.
"Lets go home." Sam said taking my bag from me, as well as Charlies.
"You don't have to do that Sam." Charlie called. Sam looked at him.
"Honestly Charlie, it's fine. You two have had a long couple of days. It's the least I can do." He said walking out. I smiled as we walked to my truck.
"Wait…" I said a little confused, not sure how we'd all honestly fit.
"Charlie." Called a female voice. I turned, to see Sue Clearwater standing by a red station wagon.
"Well if you'll both excuse me, here's my ride." Charlie said smiling. I watched Charlie walk over.
"Charlie!" Sam called, holding out Charlie's bag. I watched Sue and Charlie walk back.
"Bella, its good to see you." Sue said softly.
"Thanks, you too." I said a little unsure. I was almost certain my father had a secret he'd yet to tell me about, and I was positive she was named Sue.
"Thanks Sam." Charlie said taking the bag. He gave me a hug and of peck on the cheek.
"I'll see you soon Bell's." He said softly. I nodded.
"I love you dad." I whispered in his ear. I watched him leave with Sue.
"I think Charlie has a girl friend." Sam said to me as I got into the truck. I smiled at the thought.
"Good, now he won't be lonely." I said nervously. Sam looked at me a little confused.
"I was wondering…. Would I be allowed to stay with you?" I asked, now biting my lip.

"You mean permanently?" He asked. I nodded, not wanting to hear his answer.
"Bell's, you can stay as long as you want to. I love you and my house is yours." He said to me as we drove.
"I love you too." I smiled, unable to hide my happiness.
"What about Charlie though?" He asked.

"Well, he's moving in with Sue, and as fun as that sounds, I can't see Leah happy about the idea of my moving in also." I answered. Sam took my hand into his.
"Well it's a good thing I won't have you moving into Sue's then." He said bringing my hand up and kissing my fingers. I blushed softly, happy to feel the familiar warmth of his touch.

"So, what's been going on with the pack?" I asked eagerly wanting to know what I'd missed.
"Well, we've been training daily. I want them ready for when we are greeted by that little army we've been warned about." He said to me.

"Leah isn't happy about it, and has made my life miserable since I told them about it, but everyone else has been great. Also, I was thinking in the next couple of days, we could pay the Cullen's a visit. I want to organise them to join in on a training session, teaching us about the newborns." He said to me, as we turned into Forks. I could barely see anything as it was raining now and very dark.

"Well I can help organise it." I said to him as he headed towards the reservation.
"I know, I was counting on it." He said smiling.

"Are you training tomorrow?" I asked, hoping he wouldn't say no to letting me watch. Sam shook his head.
"Tomorrow is Saturday, and I thought a whole day off would be great for everyone, and I thought it could just be you and I." He said pulling into his street. I smiled.
"When's the next training session?" I asked. He smirked.
"Sunday." He answered.

"Can I watch?" I asked as he pulled up at our house. I smiled at the thought. 'Our' house.
"We're home." He said not answering me. I smirked, opening the door. Sam grabbed my suitcase, as I walked up to the house. I opened the front door, thankful I would be able to have a shower.
"Wait!" He called, before I took a step. I turned looking at him a little confused.
"Sam, are you trying to warn your mistress? I would hate to have to kick her ass, and tell her to leave." I said grinning. He laughed at me as he came up the stairs. He put my suitcase down, and took my hand. He swept me from my feet.
"What are you doing?!" I laughed.
"It's tradition! Now that this is 'our' house, I have to carry you over the threshold." He said taking that step inside. I laughed at him.
"Thanks, but I think you may find that's only for married people." I said laughing at him.
"Well, that, and I wanted my mistress a chance to escape." He laughed, placing me back on my feet. I swatted his chest as I smiled at the house.

"I'm just going to lock the truck." He said walking out.

"Well, I'm heading for a well-deserved shower." I said to him as he walked out, stripping my shirt off. I dropped an item of clothing every few steps, making a path to the shower, hoping he'd follow it.

The water was warm and refreshingly kind to my skin. I stood under, listening out, hoping Sam would join me. I got to running the bar of soap over my arms, before my shower door opened, and Sam walked in. I smiled at him, as he took the bar, dropping it, and pressing me against the wall. His mouth took mine passionately. His lips ran up and down my throat, as his arms wrapped around my waist. I could feel his want by the force of his mouth. It was steamy and hot, and very much wanting.
"Sam…" I moaned out in desire. I ran my hands through his hair as he picked me up, still holding me against the shower, but my legs were now wrapped around him. He nibbled on my top lip, kissing me hungrily. He reached over, turning the tap off. I smiled as he carried me out, dropping me to the bed, still dripping wet.
"I missed you Bell's." He groaned as his hands travelled down, to ease my aching need.

I laid in Sam's arms smiling happily. We were both still naked, but he was sleeping. I slowly sat up, making my way to the bathroom. I needed to have a proper shower, and brush out the tangled mess I called hair. I couldn't help the smile I had as I walked in, as I remembered the passion he'd held for me. I had never dreamed, I would feel the love and desire that Sam stirred within me. I showered easily, and stepped out, wrapping a towel around me. I took a comb, brushing through the knots.
"Baby, you okay?" Came Sam's voice. I smiled up at him as he walked in.
"Just brushing my hair." I said smiling as his lips dropped softly to my neck.
"Be careful Sam Uley, a girl could get used to this." I said now platting my hair back. He cupped my chin, kissing me.
"Bella, you deserve the world. I am just thankful I get the honour of showing it too you." He said softly. His kiss was stronger now, and I knew where this would lead.
"Baby, I think we should go back to bed." I said smiling. He raised his eye brows.
"Okay." He said eagerly, picking me up, causing me to laugh.
"That's not what I meant!" I laughed as he dropped me into the sheets, ripping off my towel. He smirked down at me.
"Perhaps you should specify next time, cause right now, you're body drives me crazy and I can't fight it!" He said climbing onto me. I laughed as I pretended to fight.
"Why struggle Bella, you know you can't say no." He laughed now pressing his mouth straight back to mine. I kissed him back, now feeling my own desire store for the second time that night.
"You are lucky you are gorgeous Sam Uley!" I laughed, capturing his lips, now fully enticed with desire. Tonight, it was not possible for me to be happier, and I was sure, I would have many, many more nights like this one.

Well guys, I hope you liked this chapter I've already started the next and am happy that the story is once more on track.
