Chapter 05<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

He could understand her \u2018fuck it\u2019 attitude, but was it still really necessary? She had nothing to fear anymore, she was going to settle, surely she could move past the fact that she hadn\u2019t been able to do whatever she wanted for the last few years?<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He had. Loads of people were against tight spaces and didn\u2019t like it when someone was being abused. Maybe it was soon for Bella. It had only been a day, really. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

But still, the idea that she was thinking to get rid of the baby as if it was her decision. As if it was hers alone. It wasn\u2019t. It took two to tango, didn\u2019t it? He was just as responsible as she was, and they definitely needed to talk about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

They were pretty much lost in their own thoughts when they walked to the house Bella had bought earlier that day. They were going to see what the damage was and to see what she needed to get done, but maybe it was a better idea to ask an adult. What did they know about houses and the state of it? He let out a whine. He didn\u2019t want to be the responsible one. Being responsible sucked.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The house looked okay from the outside, at least, and the moment Bella opened the door, he was inside with her, closing the door and pressing her against the wall as he kissed her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella giggled as she put her arms around his neck and tiptoed to make things easier on him but now that she was in the house, she wanted to go exploring. It didn\u2019t look too dirty, just quite dusty, that was it. So far. \u201cI want to see the house,\u201d she said between kisses, causing Isaac to lift her up and stumbled into the living room. Bella hummed as her back hit another wall, causing her to briefly stop kissing Isaac to look her around. \u201cNice and spacey,\u201d she said with a nod before tugging on his shirt. \u201cOff.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac grinned at her as he pushed her against the wall with her legs wrapped around her and let go of her before pulling off his shirt. He then helped her out of hers and kissed her again before taking her to the next room as her hands buried in his hair. Her nails dug into his scalp as he made a turn and bit his lip. He let out a low growl as he bumped her into a wall again. \u201cYou drew blood,\u201d he said as he looked at her. There was a big grin on her face as she wrestled herself out of his hold and jumped off of him, looking around the room. \u201cDining room.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she kicked her shoes off and looked at him to do the same. \u201cWe\u2019ll get people to take the wall down and have a bigger living room.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo playroom?\u201d He smirked, causing her to kick one of her shoes at his head at the suggestion. \u201cAdult playroom.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, a bigger living room so you can have all your friends over, and it won\u2019t feel crowded.\u201d She pulled him down to her level and kissed him eagerly, pushing him back into another room; the kitchen. \u201cEw!\u201d she exclaimed in disgust as she pushed him away and looked around. \u201cAre we in the dark ages? We\u2019re going to get a new kitchen.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe are?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes.\u201d She pulled off her jeans and threw them in his face. \u201cNo way I\u2019m cooking in this shit.\u201d Bella watched him hungrily as he got out of his jeans and didn\u2019t wait until he was done before pushing him over and sat down on top of him. \u201cI didn\u2019t hurt you, did I?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNope,\u201d he grinned and kissed her greedily. He loved it how, just like him, embraced her new strength and agility and had fun with it, surprising herself most of the time when she tried something new. The look on her face was simply adorable. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d she replied while she kept kissing him and ground her hips against his groin. \u201cHow many more rooms are in this house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI dunno,\u201d he groaned as unhooked her bra. \u201cDon\u2019t care right now\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI do,\u201d she said as she stopped kissing him and got up, helping him out of his jeans as she did. \u201cCome on, next room.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella!\u201d He whined, but got to his feet anyway and followed her to what looked like a scullery. There was room for a washer and dryer and some shelf space for other things and a door to the outside. The room was big enough but quite small. The moment he set foot in there, she was on him again, jumping into his arms and nuzzling his ear. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac stepped out of there again, bumping against the wall before turning and getting into another spacious room. He decided to skip it and found the stairs that lead to the first floor. \u201cUp we go,\u201d he playfully squeezed her ass as he managed to take the stairs and not trip over his own feet. Luckily they didn’t fall as she scraped her teeth on his collarbone while she dug her nails into his shoulder blade, surprising him. \u201cHey!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey,\u201d she smirked as she waited for the both of them to be upstairs and then let go of him again to look around on the landing. \u201cOh, I like this,\u201d she said as she shimmied out of her underwear and headed into the master bedroom. \u201cIsaac! The bedroom! Look! It\u2019s beautiful!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He took a deep breath, trying to calm himself down because fuck, she was such a tease, and he wanted to throw her on the floor and have his way with her. No, Isaac, he told himself, you do not throw a pregnant girl on the floor. She needs a bed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

A low growl coming from Bella pulled him out of his thoughts and followed her into the bedroom where she pounced on him. Her legs had wrapped around his waist and her arms around his neck before her lips were on his again. All thoughts were gone out of the window as he could feel her wetness on him as her pert nipples pressed against his chest. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She had wanted to hold out some longer, for at least until they had been to all rooms. But his scent, something she was very much aware of now, had changed a little bit because of his arousal and it drove her wild. Bella wanted him in her, now. She didn\u2019t care how. She whined when she felt that he was still wearing his boxers and let go of him.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac blinked when she just stared at him with her arms crossed over her chest. When he didn\u2019t get the clue, he followed her gaze down to his groin and grinned. \u201cI\u2019m not going to pull them off.\u201d He laughed when she kicked his legs from underneath him causing him to fall to the floor. She tore his boxers off of him and sat down on top of him, grinding her wetness against him as she raked her nails over his chest. \u201cBella.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo,\u201d she said as she slid down his legs and sat on them to keep them where they were. She then took his length into her hand and gently squeezed it, causing him to buck his hips and hiss. With a grin, she pumped it a few times before shifting again and slowly lowering herself on top of him. \u201cI so like this view,\u201d she smiled at him once he was fully inside of her, and she took a moment to get used to the feeling. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAre you going to start moving anytime soon?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She stuck out her tongue as she crossed her arms over her chest, cocking her head as she looked at him, daring him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cPlease stop being a tease,\u201d he groaned as he grabbed her hips and bucked against her.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr what?\u201d She playfully rocked her hips, causing him to let out another groan. \u201cYou feel so good inside of me, I want to be like this forever,\u201d she teased as she rocked her hips again. \u201cYou\u2019re so big, and it feels so good\u2026\u201d she uncrossed her arms and gently placed them on his chest for support. \u201cBut sure, mr. Impatient\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, I\u2019m not the only one who\u2019s impatient,\u201d he laughed as he moved one of his hands to her clit and started to rub it. His action caused Bella to throw back her head and let out a moan. He allowed her to get used to the sensation but if she didn\u2019t start to move soon, he was going to roll them over and have his way with her. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

He felt weirdly proud of being part of her sexual awakening. Was it pride? Definitely. Isaac loved it when she decided to discover new things on her own and her reaction when he tried something with her but this – waiting – was just too cruel. He could feel the heat radiating from her body, her heart was beating faster, and she felt incredibly wet around him. She was just as ready for this as he was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She wasn\u2019t moving. She wasn\u2019t moving. Feeling slightly panicked, Isaac looked at her to see if she was freaking out or thinking about something but she wasn\u2019t. But she wasn\u2019t moving. He removed his hand from her and gently rolled the both of them over. Settling over her, he started to kiss her neck. \u201cGet out of your head,\u201d he said with a murmur. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not,\u201d she replied as she sighed, biting her lip as she looked at him. Her cheeks flushed a deep red and eventually she found the courage to say what was on her mind. \u201cI wasn\u2019t sure how to proceed next. I spaced out.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac brushed her lips with his own and then kissed her tenderly. \u201cYou still want to do this?\u201d He had known this was going to happen. She had had a lot to deal with in the last few days, and she was going to break eventually.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d she nodded almost as if she was a bobblehead doll. \u201cI\u2019m burning up. Please.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Okay, he thought to himself, definitely not broken. Just her adorable self, spacing out. \u201cJust for future reference\u2026\u201d he said as he started to kiss her neck again while he found his way inside her again. \u201cThe way we were the other moment, think of it as riding a horse, although you do all the work instead of having it bounce you around like crazy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella started to giggle uncontrollably at that remark. \u201cI know that!\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGood,\u201d he laughed as he started to move. \u201cBut I have to say, brain farts are cute.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella hummed a response as she dug her hands into his hair and pulled him down for a kiss. It didn\u2019t take the both of them to finish, Bella came hard, the world around her seemed to explode into tiny little stars that fell to Earth, burning in the atmosphere. It was a good thing that this house had thick walls. Not only was it quite werewolf proof, but they could also be as loud as they wanted to be without their neighbors having to listen to it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Isaac rolled off of her to catch his breath, she snuggled up against him on the floor and smirked. \u201cI\u2019d say this house is fully broken in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                o~0~o~0<\/p>\n\n\n\n

After they had retrieved their clothes and made mental notes of what needed to be done in the house for Bella to like it, they went to the supermarket to buy treats and food to celebrate the fact that the house was bought. Much to Bella\u2019s surprise, Charlie was still at the Argent residence. \u201cI thought you were going home?\u201d Bella greeted him with a hug. \u201cAre you staying?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFor one night, yes. I was simply too fascinated by the things Chris had to tell me about your new life,\u201d Charlie replied as he scratched his head. \u201cIt\u2019s difficult to wrap my head around this, though.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep, welcome to the party,\u201d she said with a grin before she helped Isaac bring the bags to the kitchen. \u201cWe bought food and drinks and I\u2019m going to cook, we have something to celebrate.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re pregnant? Bella!\u201d Charlie said with a whine. \u201cI don\u2019t think I\u2019m ready for puppies yet!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella rolled her eyes at him and huffed. \u201cNo. I bought a house here in Beacon Hills. And it\u2019s awesome.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHence the dust trail we\u2019ve left all over town,\u201d Isaac added. If she really wasn\u2019t going to talk about the fact that they were going to have a baby soon – because it looked like she had switched on the ignore button – then he wasn\u2019t going either. He was, however, going to make damn sure that everything was ready if needed. He was going to get a job and buy things for the baby, put things in storage and let Bella ignore it all. Definitely a plan. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? Why?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDad, I\u2019m not done with Isaac yet and he\u2019s not done with me. That\u2019s our agreement. We walk away when we\u2019re done. And he has his friends here. So I\u2019m sticking around. And as much as I\u2019m thankful for Mr. Argent\u2019s hospitality, I don\u2019t want to stay at his house. I want my own space.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, if you\u2019re sure\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not going back to Forks, but you can come here?\u201d She said with a wolfish grin. \u201cI\u2019m sure Sheriff Stilinski could use the extra pair of hands!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ll think about it. But you bought a house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUhuh,\u201d she nodded as she put things in the fridge. \u201cThat\u2019s the thing, I don\u2019t have to worry about money, so I bought a house. I\u2019m going to hire people to make the house into something Isaac and I like, especially the kitchen, and then we\u2019ll move in.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWould you like me to stick around to help you out a bit, Bells?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She walked over to her father and put her arms around him. \u201cYou don\u2019t have to help out. We can be lazy because like I said; I\u2019m going to hire people. But I\u2019d like it if you stayed for a bit longer so we can explore this town together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019d like that,\u201d Charlie smiled at her, putting his arms around his little girl who had not let go of him yet. \u201cAs long as your boyfriend won\u2019t mind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s not my boyfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not her boyfriend,\u201d Isaac said at the same time as he poured himself a drink. He needed to talk to Mr. Argent about Bella\u2019s situation; he could trust him and like Deaton, he\u2019d shut his mouth about it. \u201cI can\u2019t wait to taste Bella\u2019s cooking, let me get out of the way.\u201d He kissed the top of Bella\u2019s head and looked at Argent. \u201cCan we talk?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, of course,\u201d he said with a nod and led the teenager towards his office. Where he kept his guns. Not that he needed them for Isaac but still, the boy had a serious tone in his voice, and that required some alone time. He pointed to a chair as he sat down on his own. \u201cWhat\u2019s up?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019ve been doing a lot of thinking,\u201d Isaac said with a deep sigh as he fell into the chair. \u201cI mean, on the one hand, I\u2019d like to finish school even though I detest it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEducation is important.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, but I could do night classes or just single courses too, right?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut, I\u2019m also old enough not to return to school and never finish it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Argent nodded again, confused as the boy tried to reason with someone, probably himself. \u201cWhat are you getting at?\u201d He observed Isaac as he tried to think of the question Chris had just asked him. It was almost as if he could see the cogs spinning in his head and he got fidgety. When Isaac didn\u2019t say anything – which was unusual, he spoke up again. \u201cWhat happened at Deaton\u2019s?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, well, he\u2019s fascinated by the tiny bit of Cold One venom in Bella\u2019s system, but other than that, she\u2019s perfectly healthy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThat\u2019s a relief.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac nodded, and Chris was surprised his head didn\u2019t fall off. \u201cShe\u2019s also pregnant.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He was quiet for a moment, unsure how to react when he saw the insecure Isaac in front of him. Of all the bravado and seemingly not caring about anything, he did have this insecure, naive side of him that rarely reared its head. \u201cWow. How do you feel about that?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cScared. Stupid. I mean\u2026 who screws a random girl without a condom?\u201d Isaac huffed as he ran his hands through his hair. \u201cDeaton said that something about us bonding during that night and shit like that that I can\u2019t even start to understand because she wasn\u2019t a werewolf then so how is that possible? And it\u2019s just\u2026 the fuck!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnically, she was a werewolf, just spelled not to be one.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTechnicalities suck. How was I supposed to know and how the fuck did it happen that I bonded with her? She doesn\u2019t take it seriously. She\u2019s ignoring the fact that she\u2019s carrying a baby. She—\u201d He took a deep breath and realized he had a drink on him, so he took a sip. He needed to calm down. \u201cI mean\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI understand. This is all new for all of us, not just you and Bella. Did Deaton really say you bonded?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMated, bonded, whatever. What the hell does that even mean? He said he needed to do more research because it\u2019s rare.\u201d Isaac used quotation marks when he said \u2018rare,’ causing Argent to smile. \u201cIt\u2019s ridiculous.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt is. And it\u2019s unheard of, it\u2019s just as rare as True Alpha\u2019s,\u201d Argent said calmly, not wanting to upset the young werewolf in his office. \u201cA mate, what Bella is to you, according to Deaton, is something that goes far deeper than a simple girlfriend. Most werewolves feel lucky when they find a great woman or man who wants to stick with them for the rest of their lives, but it\u2019s not as if they\u2019re a mate. You two were drawn towards each other and the details are fuzzy for you, but you\u2019re in for a hell of a ride.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t even know if I like her like that!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, you do,\u201d Chris smiled at him. \u201cThe way you\u2019re looking at her, the way you subconsciously move towards her when you feel she\u2019s threatened or sad\u2026 Did Deaton ask if you bit her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDid you?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac let out a whine. \u201cNot the first few times\u2026 but yeah. I bit her, once. By accident. On the shoulder.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, you\u2019re in deep, buddy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCan it be undone? I mean, she and I have an agreement. What if she doesn\u2019t want me anymore? What will happen then?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m not quite sure. Deaton\u2019s right in saying that what you and Bella have is rare, not much is known on the subject either, if there were, I would have known about it. But I think you can compare it to Swans. Swans mate for life. If their mate goes away or dies, the mate left behind is miserable. Some even die of heartbreak.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want that, can we be fixed?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac\u2026 You didn\u2019t hear me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, I heard you! But I\u2019d rather be aware of my actions and whatnot than to be at the mercy of this thing between her and me!\u201d Isaac said angrily, pounding his fist on the heavy table, not even denting it. \u201cI don\u2019t want things being able to control me when I don\u2019t want to.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou sound a lot like Bella now.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah well, she\u2019s right. It\u2019s much easier to be in control over yourself when you have it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOr,\u201d he said calmly as he kept looking at him. \u201cYou could learn how to control it, learn how to work with it instead of seeing it as something beyond your control. Anything can be learned.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, maybe. Anyway, I think I want to find a job so I can work on the baby\u2019s nursery in secret. I know she has money, but she\u2019d rather get rid of it or ignore it until it\u2019s actually here. At least for the moment. That\u2019s my real dilemma right now; go back to school, finish it, or find a job.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s likely you need an education to work.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac shrugged. \u201cMy dad worked at the graveyard; I used to have a job there, so\u2026 maybe they\u2019ll take me back.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac\u2026\u201d he sighed. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, I want to do something. I don\u2019t want to be a kept boy. I know she has money. But I want to be responsible, and actually you know\u2026 take care of her.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAlright,\u201d the man nodded. \u201cSeems you have it all thought out already, why do you need me?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t know. Maybe you\u2019d say something I would actually like or hadn\u2019t thought of,\u201d Isaac sulked as he emptied his glass and got to his feet. \u201cBut seems like I\u2019m not as brain damaged as I thought.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

He got to his feet and rounded the desk before gently giving Isaac a pat on the back. \u201cYou\u2019re a smart kid, you\u2019ll know what\u2019s best for you, your girlfriend and the rest of your life.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cShe\u2019s not my girlfriend.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAnd I\u2019m certain you two will make the right decision about the baby. Bella has a good set of brains on her shoulders, just like you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s just scary.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIsaac, you know this. Women are scary. New situations are scary at first, but you\u2019ll deal with it. I have every faith that you two can deal with the new situation at hand. Together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cEven when she ignores the things in front of her?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d he smiled reassuringly. \u201cDon\u2019t forget, she\u2019s had a lot to deal with in the last few days. Give her some time to process.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac nodded and sighed. \u201cThanks. I just\u2026 it\u2019s\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt\u2019s called growing up. Maybe a little bit faster than you\u2019ve anticipated, but you\u2019re on the right path. We\u2019re all here to lend you a hand if needed. Don\u2019t worry, we\u2019ve got your back, Isaac,\u201d he gently squeezed Isaac\u2019s shoulder. \u201cNow, let\u2019s see what that Bella of yours is up to because whatever she\u2019s doing, it smells delicious.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\n\n\n\n

A couple of weeks later, Bella was sitting on the steps to her house, waiting for the contractors to arrive to deal with the changes she wanted to be made. She was all alone, had been for a few weeks now. Her father had left after a couple of days, he insisted on inspecting the house and make his own observations and he came with good suggestions, not all of them she was going to listen to, but some. To make him happy. It took some arranging of agendas and planners for the contractors go come and she was glad everything finally worked out.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She didn\u2019t understand why Isaac went to get his old job back at the cemetery. While she understood that he didn\u2019t want to go back to school, he didn\u2019t need a job. She had plenty of money. Hell, she even offered to split the remaining money in half but he didn\u2019t want it. She didn\u2019t want the money either. It was far too much for one person, especially if they weren\u2019t going to travel around the globe – she quite liked it in Beacon Hills so far. No, Isaac wanted to earn money and do something with it. Some sort of secret project he had been mumbling about in his sleep. Bella was sure that one of these nights, she\u2019d get to hear what this secret project was. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Scott and everyone else were back in school until their next break which wouldn\u2019t be until Christmas and even though Chris Argent didn\u2019t mind her staying at his house during the day, she had started to feel a little bit useless and had left the house. It was a good thing that the workers were coming today so she could at least do something even if it was just to open the door. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Yes, it had started to become slightly colder now that Autumn was here, but it was still California and she loved it. No thick jackets or starting to wrap herself up in thick layers of clothing, just a simple cardigan would do and she loved it.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

When she saw movement down the street, she looked up from her styrofoam cup of tea and sighed when she saw that it was Peter. She didn\u2019t know him that well, not as well as some of Isaac\u2019s friends, but she thought he was entertaining. He was there in Derek\u2019s loft at her first full moon and hadn\u2019t given her shit yet so he wasn\u2019t on the \u2018meh\u2019 list so far. He seemed to move a little bit awkwardly, almost as if he was in pain. Had something happened? \u201cMorning,\u201d she greeted him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh good, you left out the \u2018good\u2019,\u201d Peter sighed as he sat down next to her on the steps. \u201cNice house.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cUhuh. What happened?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat do you mean?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWell, it\u2019s not a good morning and you move stupidly. Did you fall down the stairs?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter let out a low growl and absentmindedly rubbed his chest. \u201cSome idiot with no mouth broke into the loft and threw an icepick at me. He left me for dead.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re not.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously not.\u201d He waved to the house, changing the subject. \u201cDid you buy it with my money?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

A couple of days ago, someone broke into the Hale vault and stole Peter\u2019s money. He\u2019d been on a warpath since, and Bella had been fortunate to have been left out of the war zone. Until now. At least he wasn\u2019t snarling at her, she\u2019d snarl right back at him. \u201cNo. Why do you think that?\u201d Bella asked as she took a sip of her tea. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re the most recent thing coming into Beacon Hills. Not much is known about you other than you\u2019re a special werewolf and that you tend to hang with the wrong people.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh,\u201d she smiled at him and grinned. \u201cI\u2019m a suspect? That\u2019s so cool!\u201d She turned a little to face him with a big smile on her face. \u201cYou think I stole your money? Because I bought a house?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cAmongst other things.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI have my own money. I\u2019ve earned it for being the human pet of a bunch of vampires,\u201d Bella said morosely as she looked at Peter. She then giggled as she saw the look on his face. \u201cI get it why you think I have something to do with it but seriously? I\u2019m like the person who\u2019s the least needy for money.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cFine,\u201d Peter sighed and dismissively waved his hand. \u201cWhat about that boy of yours?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a puppy.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah\u2026 he doesn\u2019t really have the mind of a criminal mastermind.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHey! Give him some credit, will you?\u201d Bella laughed as she nearly inhaled her sip of tea. \u201cDid you tell Derek?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh! About that,\u201d Peter groaned as he got to his feet when the vans of the construction crew showed up. \u201cHe\u2019s hired someone to find the person responsible for the heist. Her name is Braeden. Isaac knows her. Don\u2019t tell him she\u2019s back in town.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhy not?\u201d Bella cocked her head, feeling worried and possessive for a moment as she watched Peter take his leave, hearing him quietly snicker as he walked off. \u201cAsshole!\u201d Yeah, she didn\u2019t have anything to worry about. Isaac was hers. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She hung around for a little while to make sure that the contractors indeed knew what they were doing and headed into town when she was satisfied. There was no need to stick around, really. There wasn\u2019t anything to steal in that house and she had other things to do; such as getting a Nutella pancake. Or get the ingredients, go to Argent\u2019s place and make Nutella pancakes. She was sure that the smell would wake up Isaac and when he was awake, they could have sex. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

No, that was too selfish. She could go for a nap herself. Just curl up next to him and doze off. No, that would be stupid. Or maybe not, seeing as it was the full moon again tonight and she\u2019d probably be up all night because Scott wanted to keep an eye on her. She scoffed as she kicked a small pebble on the street. She was fine. It was the new kid that Scott bit that he needed to worry about. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she had tried to stay away from Scott and his friends as well as she could, Isaac still hung out with them somewhat, after school and staying in the loop of supernatural happenings. She wasn\u2019t interested in that, not even when Isaac mentioned that morning that Scott bit someone to save him from a killer with no mouth. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

When Peter had mentioned the guy earlier, she didn\u2019t bat an eye. It wasn\u2019t really her thing to get involved, was it? She felt bad about it, sure, but she had her house to think about. Her own nest. The excitement of the house finally being remodeled made her nauseous at times, but that was great. A house. For her. And Isaac. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While she and Isaac had been ordering things online for the house, she couldn\u2019t help but window shop a little. She had liked the way her room looked in Forks, the fairy lights, for example. Done right and it was romantic. She definitely wanted to have them again. Maybe not in the bedroom, seeing as she was going to share it with Isaac. She had called him stupid for not wanting to be involved in the decorating of the house. It was his house just as it was hers. When she said that he could have the house when she was tired of him, he got angry and possessive about her and fucked her senseless after dragging her out of Argent\u2019s house and into the woods behind it. It was very hot. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She ducked into the store and bought fairy lights in all sorts of colors before heading to the supermarket and get some snacks for everyone. If she was going to have to suffer through another full moon of Scott keeping an eye on her, she wanted to have the good stuff to keep her entertained. Taking a nap right now sounded great.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                     ~o0o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella wasn\u2019t sure why the lights were off in the lake house for when Liam arrived, but it wasn\u2019t as if they needed the light to see anyway. Being a werewolf had its perks; extra sight and all that. She was sitting on the sofa, all cozied up to Isaac when the boy arrived and Stiles said it was some sort of intervention. The look on Liam\u2019s face, when things were explained to him, was hilarious, especially when he asked Stiles what he was. \u201cFor a little while I was possessed by an evil spirit. He was very evil.\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella liked Stiles. He was the only human in Scott\u2019s pack, but his wit and sarcasm fit right in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat are you now?\u201d Liam asked, slightly irritated by Stiles\u2019 remark. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBetter?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Liam\u2019s frown turned even more sour before his eyes fell upon her and Isaac. \u201cWerewolf and a werewolf with vampire venom in her blood? How does that work?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella shrugged for an answer, not wanting to poke the bear. Liam was angry enough. He had a lot to deal with, just like Bella had to do, but considering Liam\u2019s life had been pretty decent apart from his bursts of anger while growing up, everything must be quite a shock. She listened to the conversation a little while drawing little circles with her index finger over Isaac\u2019s shirt and had to laugh when Liam called them all psychotic nutjobs. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

The boy was this close to losing it, the room had started to feel tense and Bella had to admit, when Liam started to double over from sensory overload, she scooted even closer to Isaac before noticing that there were cars coming. What the fuck? They were supposed to be all alone at the Lake House, who invited more people? This was a clusterfuck waiting to happen. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

While Scott and Kira carted Liam off to the boathouse – great, open space, Bella thought that was a bad idea – Malia showed that she still hadn\u2019t learned to control herself and Stiles brought her to the basement. \u201cHow are you feeling, Bella?\u201d Isaac asked her softly as he caressed her hair. \u201cIn control?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOf course,\u201d she replied with a nod. \u201cAnd horny.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Isaac chuckled at that. \u201cIn the mood for a party?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHell no.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think Scott needs help with Liam.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, he might need an extra pair of hands\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThen again\u2026 Scott has a fox with him. Stiles is all alone.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cLet\u2019s just go home,\u201d Bella sighed as she nuzzled his earlobe. The living room started to fill with partying teenagers and she didn\u2019t want to stick around. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBut Scott—\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe\u2019s a big boy,\u201d Bella smiled at him. She had realized a week ago that there wasn\u2019t really a spot anymore for Isaac in Scott\u2019s pack, especially not for Bella despite her somewhat accepting him as an Alpha. They were on the outside, looking in. More like floaters, like a turd in water. Or whatever. \u201cYou can ask him if he needs us? But we\u2019re basically here because he didn\u2019t trust my control. Thinking it was a fluke.\u201d She was waiting for Isaac to realize her thoughts about Scott\u2019s pack too, but the boy was so happy to be back in Beacon Hills that it was going to take some time. It wasn\u2019t as if they couldn\u2019t be friends anymore, they just lead different lives now.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIt obviously isn\u2019t.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cObviously,\u201d Bella whined as someone sat down next to her. \u201cGo ask. Tell him we\u2019re leaving if he doesn\u2019t need us.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

                    ~o0o~<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She thought it was sweet of Isaac to watch his friends play a Lacrosse game a few days later, and that he felt saddened that he wasn\u2019t playing anymore. Maybe, just maybe, Isaac had made the wrong decision of going to work instead of finishing school, but he told her he didn\u2019t regret anything. It was sweet of him of not telling her when he was hanging out with his friends, but she knew. He\u2019d leave for work early during the day and in the morning she\u2019d find torn or dirty clothes and she didn\u2019t say anything about it. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella wanted to, she was slightly worried that he had become interested in another girl and that there would come an end to their agreement, but she also knew that she could trust him. He had missed them and he wanted to spend more time with his friends, helping them out, especially with Liam. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Since she didn\u2019t have anything to do – apart from making sure the house would turn out okay – she wanted to help too, but Isaac told her she didn\u2019t have to, that she should enjoy exploring Beacon Hills and Beacon County without having to worry about everything. It was only after the CDC closed down the high school that she learned what was going on.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Mostly because one night, Stiles was in Argent\u2019s weapon\u2019s locker and she overheard them while Isaac was out helping Scott. Talking about a dead pool of supernaturals in Beacon Hills, that there had been many casualties and that so far, Scott and his pack had been safe but that they were now going to try to catch the elusive leader of the dead pool. The plan sounded ridiculous and probably wouldn\u2019t work. Of course, when she was about to leave and see if she could help – anywhere, her stomach decided to twist itself into a knot and she had to throw up.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

She was sick of being sick. There wasn\u2019t a day going by where she didn\u2019t throw up and it was a bug she didn\u2019t seem to be able to shake. It threw a wrench in most of her plans because she usually felt so drained after throwing up, that she wanted to take a nap or move very slowly. Or stuff her face with food but she was afraid that if she ate too soon after expelling it from her body, she\u2019d have to do it again. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

In all honesty, Bella felt like a miserable old hag and she was glad that Isaac wasn\u2019t around much because she didn\u2019t want to hurt him. She didn’t want him to leave her because she was grumpy and sick, and sometimes crying because she felt miserable without being able to stop it. It felt like PMS, but worse.<\/p>\n\n\n\n

The next morning, she realized Isaac hadn\u2019t come home and even though she didn\u2019t want to act like the controlling girlfriend – because she wasn\u2019t his girlfriend – she tried his phone a few times and didn\u2019t get any answer. She called Scott, but he was too busy and he immediately told her that everyone else was busy as well but assured her that Isaac was a creature of habit and wouldn\u2019t just run away on her. That didn\u2019t help her much, it only helped to grow her agitation. She got dressed and cursed her jeans for not fitting properly anymore and ripped a little of the sides to help her get in. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

She grabbed a banana off the kitchen counter before heading towards the house that was still being remodeled, maybe Isaac was there, working on his secret project or whatever and had fallen asleep. She was humming to herself when out of nowhere, Peter stepped in her path. \u201cMorning!\u201d He greeted her as he stopped her from walking. \u201cDid you hear about the dead pool?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYeah, yesterday.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOnly yesterday?\u201d Peter blinked and slowly shook his head while making a disapproving noise. \u201cWhy didn\u2019t they tell you before?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBecause what can I do? Vomit all over the list or the killers?\u201d Bella stepped around him and continued to walk towards the house. \u201cI don\u2019t know, maybe, deep down, Scott doesn\u2019t trust me. Isaac\u2019s been helping him, I know that, but other than that?\u201d <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou\u2019re still angry with Scott?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes,\u201d Bella kicked against a rock and heard it shatter a window somewhere. \u201cWerewolves should do what they\u2019re supposed to do; kill when able or necessary. Killing the Cullens was necessary and he let a few of them walk.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI don\u2019t want to play Devil\u2019s advocate but\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWhat? There are enough of them left to find a new family, make a new family, and try it with a new girl all over again. How\u2019s that not a big enough of a threat?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Peter shrugged as he put his hands in his pockets. \u201cI would have killed them.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cExactly. But Scott thinks that everyone, including bad people, should have a chance to redeem themselves.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYes, which is mostly the reason why I\u2019m still here,\u201d Peter said with a grin. \u201cBecause of my redeeming qualities and Scott\u2019s inability to kill.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI think he\u2019s able, he just doesn\u2019t like to do it.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHe has me and Derek for that.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cApparently,\u201d she kept walking towards the house, but already knew it was going to be a bust. She didn\u2019t smell Isaac at all and hadn\u2019t found a new trail since leaving the house. She could follow his scent to his job and the supermarket if she wanted to, but it was his day off today. And last night he went to help Scott. \u201cDid you see Isaac last night?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cI\u2019m afraid not. I was doing some bonding with the daughter I didn\u2019t know I had.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cMalia?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou know?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella shrugged for an answer. \u201cIt\u2019s easy to tell, really. Same bone structure, the forehead\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cDaughter of a cop.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYep,\u201d she grinned as she frowned. There weren\u2019t any vans outside the house while normally there were and she didn\u2019t receive a call that they weren\u2019t going to come today. \u201cThis is odd\u2026\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cTrouble?\u201d Peter asked, looking at the young werewolf. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella huffed as she opened the door. \u201cOf course not, who would want to go after me?\u201d She got a fright when she saw Aro standing in the living room, accompanied by Jane and Alice. Out of instinct, she pulled Peter closer to her so that Jane couldn\u2019t hurt him and Alice couldn\u2019t read him. \u201cThe fuck!\u201d she exclaimed as she looked at the threesome. Usually, Marcus and Caius weren\u2019t far behind where Aro was concerned, but they were probably with Felix and his buddies to be protected somewhere close by. \u201cGet out of my house!\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cCome now, Bella, is that the way you treat old friends?\u201d Aro smiled at her and opened his arms wide, almost as if he wanted her to hug him. She simply stared at him, trying to control her breathing as not to turn into a wolf. While the walls were probably werewolf-proof, she was certain that they weren\u2019t Cold One proof and she didn\u2019t want the house to come down upon them. \u201cI guess it is,\u201d Aro said simply, clasping his hands in front of him again. \u201cYou probably want to know what we\u2019re doing here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cYou want to kill me.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHardly,\u201d Aro replied as he nodded towards Alice. \u201cWhen Alice and Jasper came before us, confessing what they had done to you and why, I could not believe them. Not even after reading their thoughts. Young Bella Swan, the golden boy\u2019s savior, a werewolf? And killing Cullens? It\u2019s simply unheard of! And what will young Isaac think of you being with this man?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Bella blinked at that, looking at Alice for answers, but she wasn\u2019t talking, only looking to the floor as she stood there. Jane was concentrating, hard, Bella could see that, but as long as Peter stayed with Bella, he was safe, and that was probably very frustrating for her. Her eyes fell back onto Aro\u2019s face and she let out a snarl. \u201cWhat did you do?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cOh, no harm has come to the young werewolf,\u201d Aro smirked. \u201cBut please, allow us to take you to him. You can leave your friend here.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cIn exchange for what?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cWe\u2019ll discuss the terms in a more\u2026 suitable environment. We brought our wives with us as well, let\u2019s have a civil lunch together.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cBella, don\u2019t,\u201d Peter warned her and she looked up to him. <\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cThey have Isaac. I\u2019m not going to allow them to take away my toys.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cHow many of them are there?\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cProbably a few. But don\u2019t worry, they know they\u2019ll lose the fight. Nothing will happen. Go home, Peter.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cGo home.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

\u201cNo, not up for discussion.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n

Growling, Bella shoved him away from her, out of her bubble, giving Jane the opportunity to hurt him, quite bad. \u201cDon\u2019t kill him,\u201d Bella said to Jane as she motioned for Aro to lead the way. \u201cOr I will kill you.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n
