Paul pov

The guys and I walked over to Charlie and Sue hearing the end of the conversation. I sniffed and smirked at the scent I remember from ten years ago. "Well, well, well. Look what the cat brought in."

She looked at me and her eyes lit up. "Paul." I opened my arms for her and she ran jumping on me. "You are still too tall for me." She pouted at me and the others laughed.

"I always will be too tall for you little shrimp." I grinned at her and kissed her forehead putting her back on her feet.

She was grabbed into another hug. "Jake I can't breathe." Jake let go and she hugged him.

The rest of the guys got a hug from her. She smiled at us as her eyes gleamed with unshed tears. "We missed you hun. How have you been?"

"I've been good Embry. I missed you guys too." She looked up to Sam and Jake. "Um could you do me a favour? I know I am asking a lot but could you do for my family like you did for-"

"Of course. You don't have to ask." Sam smiled down at her. "Besides Emily would cut me off."

"Yeah you are one of us even if you aren't." Jake turned to her and kissed her cheek. "Just because of who you are they don't matter. They did what we couldn't."

I knelt in front of her. "You are here now. Whatever was the reason for you leaving will come out. But all that matters is you are here and safe."

She smiled at us. "I really missed you guys. Come and meet my family. Please?" We followed her back to the others. "Momma, daddy these are the La Push boys."

"We have heard so much about you." The taller of the women stepped forward.

"It's good to finally meet the people our Izzy felt safe with. We thank you for that." The taller of the men held their hand out to Sam. "I'm Jasper."

"Uncle Jasper stop teasing them."

"Shrimp Billy will be wanting to see you." I told her lightly.

"Shrimp?" the smallest of the men looked at her and laughed. "You said you had no nicknames."

"Daddy." She pouted at him with her puppy dog eyes.

"Only we call her shrimp." Jake spoke up.

"Why?" Jasper enquired with amusement.

"When we were kids Isabella was about four and Charlie dropped her off at Sue's." I started the story.

"Charlie, Billy and Harry were going fishing but we followed anyway. We were playing by the water and Bella fell in." Sam smirked at her as she blushed.

"It was so funny we jumped in to save her." Jake laughed.

"What happened?" the little pixie looked shocked.

"The water wasn't that deep so we could stand most of the time. Our dads weren't that far away. We couldn't see Bella and we watched our dads."

"Billy pulled his rod out of the water." Charlie broke in grinning at his daughter. "He caught a squirming Bella. She was the cutest picture. We should still have it."

"Oh but we do Charlie. You got all of the families a copy of it." Billy wheeled himself to the new happy couple.

Everyone turned to Bella. "They said I looked like a shrimp." She was full on pouting with a blush tinting her cheeks.

"Do you think we could see it?" her vampire dad asked at Bella's dismay.

Charlie pulled his wallet out and showed them the picture. "Aww baby that is a cute picture. Maybe we should get a copy."

Bella sighed. "Mamma if you do daddy won't leave me alone."

"Of course he will baby girl. Won't you Peter."

"Yes Char."

"Shrimp how long are you staying with us?" I was curious to the length of her visit.

She looked to her family. "Umm I'm not sure. We didn't have a plan for after the wedding."

"We can stay for three month tops baby girl." Char kissed her cheek. "We will sort out schooling hours."

"Thanks mamma." Bella looked to the other three. "As long as it is ok with everyone."

"We want to meet the others you told us about." Jasper told her, a dangerous gleam in his eyes.

"Yeah Izzy we want to see what made you run." Peter looked around coldly.

"Daddy I don't want to cause trouble here." Bella was playing with her fingers. A nervous action she always had.

Jasper knelt in front of her wiping at her tears. "Baby we won't cause trouble for you. But when we are here anyone who upsets you has us to deal with. You are a Whitlock now and you always will be."

"I love you uncle." Bella hugged him and smiled.

He kissed her cheek and hugged her back. "We love you too."

Pixie patted her mates back and smiled. "Eternally."

She looked to the group on the other side of Charlie and cringed. The four around her noticed as I elbowed Jake. The two males were trying to calm Bella with quiet words and comforting touches.

"Guys." Jake hissed to the others pointing to me.

"Look." I motioned to the group. Their mouths were hanging open as they saw Bella. The doctor and his wife were talking to Charlie and Sue as they kept an eye on their kids.

"Just great they are already planning on fucking with her." Leah groaned.

"Sshh Leah this might actually be fun." Seth told his sister. "They will tear anyone apart if they made a move towards Bella." He was right about that. The four vampires were very protective of Bella.

"Is that them baby?" Char asked her quietly so only we could hear them.

Bella paled as she looked to her mother. "Yes mamma that's them."

Peter rubbed her back and looked at Jasper. The look on his face was murderous. "Ok baby I think we should go introduce ourselves. You'll be ok darlin' I promise."

She just nodded her head. They went to the group. Bella was in the middle with the men on both sides and their mates behind them. "H – hi. My family wanted to meet the people I went to school with." Bella's eyes were turned to the floor her hands behind her back. "Jasper, Peter, Charlotte and Alice." I could taste her fear.

"Sshh baby girl calm down and let it out." Alice told her soothingly. "Everything will be fine." Bella nodded her head.

I looked around and everyone was paying attention to the group. Parents were on high alert in case they needed to grab their kids. Charlie and Sue knew Bella would be fine. Carlisle and Esme were weary. "Let's just watch this time." I smirked at Embry. We all nodded our heads.

"Umm mamma, daddy, uncle, Alice these are – "
