Paul POV :

I woke to the sound of suppressed laughter and the feeling of someone tugging on my hair. As I started waking up further I realized something was on my face. I opened my eye to see Maggie' front paws on my face. She growled as she tugged on my hair. I lifted my hand up and pushed her onto the bed before turning away from her and trying to go to sleep. I felt Maggie jump onto my side before landing she started tugging on my hair again. I groaned and Maggie stopped and looked down at my face as I glared at her. She started licking my cheek and eye lids. "Go away you annoying puppy." I grumbled pushing my face into the pillow.

I heard Bella laugh from beside me, "Oh c'mon Paul you have to admit she's adorable." I grumbled something unintelligible while rubbing my eye with the palm of my hands.

"Yeah yeah she's a keeper but if I wake up one more morning because she's licking my toes I will lock her up in the laundry room and relish in the sound of quiet and feeling of sleep." I said glaring at the puppy in question.

It had been two weeks since I had asked my beautiful Bella to marry me and she agreed. Last night she asked to stay at my place I said yes not knowing she was going to bring the demon dog. That thing still hasn't found her bark but she knows how to whine that's for sure. She sees food she cries out and Bella gives her something, she has to pee she cries and Bella runs away from me and let's her out, she definitely has Bella wrapped around her paw.

Bella slapped me on the chest and I grabbed her waist pulling her closer to me and kissed her on the lips. I would have gone further but a small slimy tongue decided to interrupt us. I pulled back and glared at a smiling Maggie. I wasn't kidding she was smiling/panting but without the tongue sticking out. I growled at her and she growled back before licking my nose. Bella hit my chest again and I looked down at her all the gashes on her stomach were almost fully healed; the ones on her arms were healed but were puckered angry looking red lines. Bella had gotten the cast on her other arm taken off the other day and she claimed she felt as good as new.

"Oh Paul you know she just loves you." Bella smiled ruffling Maggie's neck. My head snapped to the window when I heard a car pulling into my driveway. I stood up still in my boxers and headed downstairs to open the door Maggie close on my heels. I could hear Bella changing upstairs. I opened the door to find Jacob and Leah followed close behind a bickering Kim and Jarrod. I waved them all in and Maggie licked each person but stopped when she reached Jacob. Her hackles raised she barked at him. My eyes widened and I heard Bella running down the stairs. "Did she just bark?"

I laughed as Maggie attacked Jacob's shoe and kept barking at him. It wasn't in a menacing way it was more like 'let's play'. Jacob got down on his knees grabbing the nearest toy and started playing tug-a-war. "Hey you think he would do that while as a wolf?" Bella asked looking curiously wrapping her arm around my waist. I shivered as her bare arm touched my uncovered lower back. It was like electricity shooting throughout my entire body.

I smiled down at her and kissed the top of her head before turning back to my guests. "So to what do I owe the pleasure of having all of you in my house?" I asked slightly annoyed. Bella put her head on my chest as I wrapped my arm around her shoulders hugging her small frame to me.

Kim laughed. "We decided to have a movie night seeing as you guys have been holed up in one another's houses for the past two weeks. Besides it's Sam and Embry's turn to run patrol." Jarrod said before continuing to rant with Kim.

Bella shrugged but turned up to me. "It's up to you but I don't mind I feel great." She said in her best perky voice but I saw her hand hover over the lowest wound on her torso; the only one that hasn't healed completely yet. I shrugged my approval.

Jacob continued to play with the little demon child while both me and Bella went upstairs to get changed. "I can't wait, this is gonna be so much fun!" Bella squealed.

I laughed and grabbed a pair of pants slipping them on easily. "Yeah it will be. It's been a while since we got to just spend the day together as friends instead of wolf pack duty." I looked around for my shirt but couldn't seem to find it. I turned around my mouth opened about to ask when I saw my shirt hanging off of Bella's finger as she held it up and raised her eyebrows.

"Looking for something?" She asked shaking the shirt slightly.

I walked over to her. "Not anymore." I growled as she squealed when I pulled her to me kissing her with as much passion as I could. Her hand dropped my shirt and found its way into my hair. I moaned as she pulled on my hair. I heard a loud bang come from downstairs and Jarrod shouting. "Quit it and get your butts down here now!"

It took us an hour to finally find out about what Kim and Jarrod were arguing about. They had gotten in an argument over something Kim's grandpa said about Jarrod calling him a good for nothing butt. I laughed and was smacked by everyone else except Jacob who was holding his laughter covering his mouth with his hand. Kim kept yelling at her grandpa and Jarrod kept saying he didn't want to put a break in her family. She was annoyed he could 'be so stupid to think I wouldn't stand up for him!'

Eventually we had everything ready for a day of being lazy. I had made us some lunch on the stove with the help of Jarrod. Jacob was still playing with Maggie and she still didn't seem to like him that much. Kim, Leah and Bella were making the living room 'comfy' as Leah had put it. It would be nice just to have a night in without having to worry about sadistic vampire's or wolf pack duties.

"So how are things going with you and Bella?" Jarrod asked tossing me a Dr. Pepper. After seeing what happened to mom with alcohol I have sworn it off for good.

I smiled unconsciously. "Amazing, I haven't been this happy in a long time," I said remembering the picture of Khoen that sat on my fire place mantle.

"You sound like a girl." Jarrod laughed.

I growled at him and chucked the set of keys that were in my pocket at his fat head. I smiled when they came in contact nicking his eyebrow. He grabbed his head and growled at me but couldn't fight the smile. I rolled my eye, who smiles when they are bleeding? I heard someone growl from behind me and saw both Kim and Bella standing behind me, shit.
