Everything belongs to their respective owners

Paul POV:

Finally after about an hour we coaxed Embry and Angela to have dinner and while my fiancée and her best friend set the table I talked with Embry and Sam.

"We are going to tell her tonight right?" Embry asked fidgeting excitedly.

"I was going to speak with Sam about telling her anyways." I said "Bella accidently froze the entire school ground in front of her earlier," I explained.

Sam let out a sigh and rubbed a hand over his face "We really need to work on getting that under control. We can't just tell people our secret when she exposes herself!" I could tell he was mildly frustrated.

"I agree," I nodded "However I do think that we should tell Angela everything tonight."

"Ok I think that is the best option for this situation." Sam finally relented "You guys explain everything and we will meet later. I have to get home Emily is expecting me." And with that he was off like a bullet.

"Ang," Embry called out "Could you come here a minute?"

"Sure," She called coming into the living room a large grin on her face and her eyes sparkling with joy. Bella was only steps behind her an equally wide grin on her face.

"Maybe you should sit down," I suggested remembering Bella's reaction as I wrapped my arms around Bella's waist. "We have some things to tell you."

"Does this have anything to do with what happened at the school?" Angela asked bouncing on the couch in excitement.

"It has everything to do with earlier," Bella admitted blushing at the reminder of her accident. I bent my head hiding my smile in her hair and kissed the top of her head.

"Ang do you know the legends of our tribe?" Embry asked.

"Ya Bella told me about them and lent me that book," She nodded at Bella as she spoke. "I was doing a project on the area's history and wanted something entertaining." She rambled on "My favorite was the one about the spirit protectors."

I could see relief flood Embry's face and remembered when I was about to tell Bella about everything and how scared I had been.

"They're all real." Embry finally said after a moment's internal debate "The stories about the spirit protectors and the Cold Ones are all very real."

Angela looked perplexed as she asked "What do you mean?"

"Guys I think you should just show her." Bella interrupted before Embry could start rambling like both of us could tell he was about to. She wiggled out of my arms and headed out the front door dragging Angela with her.

Embry and I exchanged looks and shrugged following our loves. We hit the front door and saw Angela and Bella sitting on the porch swing.

I waited until Bella gave a nod of encouragement and transformed. Embry stayed in human form so that it would be easy for him to comfort Angela if she freaked.

"We're the spirit protectors," Embry said as Angela's jaw dropped. She gazed between Embry and I and then turned to Bella.

"You knew?" She asked and Bella nodded giving her friend's hand a gentle squeeze. "What about the other legends?"

"The Cold Ones?" Embry inquired as I ran around the back of the house. It took me less than a minute to phase back and change and when I returned to the front of the house Embry was saying "… The Cullen's are vampires. More specifically they are the vampires in the legend. The ones our ancestors made the treaty from the story with."

"So you guys are werewolves." She waited until we nodded before continuing "and the Cullen's are vampires." She paused again turning to Bella. "Does that make you a witch?"

It had been almost a week since Embry and Angela had gotten together and we were all hanging out at mine and Bella's.

I had been cuddling Bella to my side watching a movie with the rest of the pack when I heard the doorbell go off. Bella hit my chest lightly. "Can you get that?" She asked trailing off at the end not even looking at me. I rolled my eyes but smiled and kissed her head before going to get the door. When I opened it I saw five or six people standing there smiling creepily at me.

"Uh yes?" I asked confused as to why some random teens would be at my door. Well the one guy standing at the back smiling the widest smile. There were three girls who were staring wide eyed at me. I shifted uncomfortably under their gazes. The other two guys were looking at me with wide fearful eyes like I would eat them.

All of a sudden one of the girls pushed one of the boys forward. He stumbled but stopped in front of me. "Uh h-hello, my name is Scott and we are from the youth group in Forks. We are playing a game called bigger or better. Basically I want to give you this brand new plastic toothpick for something bigger or better." He tried to smile but gulped in fear and embarrassment instead.

"A toothpick?" I asked raising one of my eyebrows. He nodded gulping again. A thought struck me and I smiled. "One second," I turned back to our house going straight for Maggie's room. I opened the door grabbed her and went back to the door. "Here," I said grabbing the toothpick and basically throwing Maggie into the kid's hands before shutting the door.

I walked into the living room and sat on the couch chewing on the toothpick smiling in victory. "Where'd you get the toothpick?" Jarrod asked looking at me when I came into the room.

I shrugged but kept the smirk on my face. "I don't know what you're talking about." Everyone looked at me skeptically. I took my seat next to Bella kissing her head. A few seconds later the doorbell rang again. I groaned- they brought her back.

Bella patted my knee. "I'll get it." I closed my eyes and waited for the scream. Three . . . Two . . . One, "PAUL!"

Everybody looked at me alarmed. I glared at nothing and stood up. I walked into the front room to see the adult that was with the teens handing Bella the daughter of darkness back. I glared at her and she growled at me. "Paul, did you try and give away my dog for a toothpick?"

I huffed. "Apparently it didn't work." The un-known adult's eyes widened. I looked behind him and saw the teens glaring at him and mumbling 'we could have won!'

Bella walked over to me and hit me, I flinched at her anger. She handed the students a vase that was on the front table in Maggie's stead before she walked away carrying Maggie with her. I watched as Maggie's fat head popped up over my love's shoulder and gave me a doggy smirk.

I looked back at the man in my house and glared at him. "Next time listen to the kids." I growled before shutting the door. I went back into the living room to find everyone apart from Bella laughing. I went to sit by her again but she gave me a snarl. I froze uh-oh I'm in trouble.

"Paul you can sit over by Jarrod and Kim. Oh and your sleeping on the couch tonight, Maggie gets your side of the bed." She said stroking Maggie's neck. Maggie looked over at me with a victorious look.

I bit back a snarl and sulked my way over to Jarrod. "Dude what is it with you and that dog?" He whispered when I sat beside Kim. She looked at me.

"She's the daughter of darkness." I whispered back Kim started laughing. "I'm not kidding she eats my shoes, pees in them, pees on my shirts, craps on the carpet, she ate my shirt the other day, she steals my breakfast. Plus Bella loves her more." I huffed glaring at the evidence of my annoyance.

"Paul she's maybe eight inches tall your over six feet tall almost seven, seriously you could squish her." Kim laughed. Bella looked at me and when I caught her eye she glared at me and mouthed, 'sleeping on the couch'. I growled again.

For the next three hours we all sat in silence at least until Alice started having a vision. Jasper immediately went into protective mode eyeing anything and everything that moved even the slightest towards her. Soon she came back but looked alarmed. "What's wrong darlin'?" Jasper wrapped his arms around her small shaking frame.

"Victoria s coming and has an entire army following her." Alice said glancing at Bella and me. I wanted so bad to go over and comfort Bella and, hell, comfort myself with her presence but Maggie was cuddling up to her kissing her face.

"When?" I snarled out before anyone else.

Alice shook her head. "I don't know but soon maybe a month two at most." I nodded looking at the floor and planning how to keep my family safe. They were the new babies in the family and I don't just mean mine and Bella's they were everybody's new family members.

Sam broke the tension filled silence. "Why don't we just have a fun night tonight and then tomorrow we start to train for their arrival?"He looked around at everyone and waited until we all nodded.

I glanced at Bella and saw her start to fall asleep. "Okay everybody if I'm sleeping on the couch tonight I want all of you out of my room. We will see you guys tomorrow but for now get your asses out of my house." I boomed.

I heard Angela whisper to Embry, "Is he always so grumpy?"

"Hah just wait until something comes near Bella or the babies he'll bite their heads off." Embry laughed.

I snarled at him causing Angela to flinch and stumble into his arms which in turn made him snarl back at me. I took a step towards him but stopped when I saw the fear in Angela's eyes. No point in getting in more from Bella while making her friend scared.

Soon they all left and I was lying on the couch with the blanket resting on my waist just under my navel. I could hear Bella moving around upstairs and before I knew it I was falling asleep. It seemed minutes later that I felt someone tapping on my chest I opened my eyes sucking in air. The palm of my hands went to eyes and tried to rub the sleep from them. I looked up and saw Bella. I looked at her confused but soon became alarmed. "Are you okay? Did something happen? Are the babies okay?" I was about to stand but she pushed me back down.

"Can I sleep with you?" She asked completely ignoring my questions.

"Um sure you want to go upstairs or stay on the couch?" I asked getting up.

"Let's go upstairs please." I nodded and she grabbed my hand and started pulling my half unconscious body up the stairs. I accidently ran into the wall by the stairs and Bella giggled. I glowered at her playfully.

"Shut it, not like it hasn't happened to you before." She giggled again and started pulling me up the stairs again. When I walked into our room I saw Maggie sitting on the bed looking around completely scared and shaking. Without thinking I went over and grabbed her.

Bella crawled onto the bed and I crawled in beside her letting Maggie curl up between us. After a few seconds I felt her licking my cheek. I smiled. "Night Bella, night Maggie, night boys." I whispered before yawning.
