The sight of my husband was unexpected to say the least. His usual time alone lasts for more than three days; sometimes longer when he feels like I am the one that needs to cool down. Our arguments are always about him. No matter the time, day or night, it always ends up being about him. How he thinks that choosing this life was the worse choice for me. How we should have never had sex on our honeymoon. That allowing himself to chase after me or save me from the car and stay behind like he had was something he could have avoided.

I'm sick and tired of it.

But...he has his days where he is nothing but a sweet and considerate man; who loves his family and the little girl he helped to create inside of me. He brings me flowers and takes me from the house. We lay in the field of flowers, enjoying the sunlight when it comes out. He loves our little girl who is resting in her bedroom and we are about to have an all out brawl between a vampire and a wild shifter woman who is still holding onto me.

My number one priority is Renesmee. Her safety is forever put above my own. I can't lose her when I've only had her for three years. She grown so much since then, but surprisingly its stunted. We thought she would be as all as me by now, but her mind and body are now matched. A perfect little ten year old who is in love with getting dirty as much as she is in love with shopping with her Aunt Alice.

"Who the hell are you?" Silver asked the man next to the small cottage, watching his every move with cautious eyes. Edward was pained by the way his wife could so easily embrace this..this person who could be a threat to their family. How could she?

"My name is Edward." He rose a finger towards the brunette in Silvers arms. "That woman in your arms. She is mine." He applied emphasis on the claim, his eyes narrowing at the shifter. "She is my wife and my mate. I will kindly ask you to release her."

I think her grip on my waist has tightened since Edward arrived. Her hands no longer held me close like before, but she had moved me to the side and held one arm around my waist to leave the other free. I'm guessing to intercept whatever Edward might have to throw at her. In Silvers arms I felt safe and right at home. The thunderous sound emanating from her chest had a calming settlement on me, lulling me further into security.

Crap. This isn't the time to be daydream about some random chick, Bella. Stop Edward before he does something stupid!

"...So you think you're her mate? Don't make me laugh, boy. You're a toy she has played with and she has no further use for you now that I'm here." Silver's voice broke me out of my mental cage and brought me back out into the present. I wasn't able to hear what was said before, but whatever the heck it was had Edwards body vibrating with rage.

"She. Is. Not. Yours." His jaw was clenched so tight that I could hear the grinding of his teeth.

"Mates have a strong bond. So strong in its early stages that you can not leave their side, nor would you want to harm them." Her eyes narrowed into slits as she regarded my husband, pressing me closer to her side. "And when I say harm, I mean it in every fashion of the sense. Emotional, Spiritual and Body." The wild woman rose her clenched fist to her chest. "I will never run from her. I will forever be by her side unlike you, a pathetic child!" Her voice rose in volume, her entire body was vibrating with anger to match Edwards if not more so.

"Nonononono." I took a step forward ensuring that Edward would not make an advancement on her. If he strikes at Silver who knew what would happen after she shifts. She would rip him to shreds.

Would I care? Better question is why am I trying to calm her down and not run to my husband. The man I married. The man I have a child with.

"Silver. Hey," I rounded to the taller Native woman's front and cupped her cheeks. Damn she was burning up. If I don't help calm her down she would shift soon, harm not only Edward but myself included. "Don't pay attention to him, okay." I gently pull her face down until our foreheads are touching. Silver listened better than a certain somebody...Okay, seriously? Stop comparing them. Focus.

"Hi" I said shyly, an easy going grin slips out and I couldn't help but chuckle. Silver squinted her eyes at me and tilted her head.

"Hello to you, beautiful." Her voice was scratchy, like she had walked a long journey through the desert without any water. Her eyes swam with emotions as she gazed down at me, the one that burned the most was terrifying. How could she feel like this and just go along with it? I hated this imprinting thing. It was unfair to the wolves that had found love in someone else.

How could she love me?

"You need to stop and breathe or something." I gave her my best this-isn't-helping-either-of-us look and slowly dragged my hands away from her face, laying them on her shoulders instead. "You're shaking."

The Native woman snorted a laugh and rose a brow. "I didn't notice. Maybe if you..." Her arms were around my shoulders and brought me in contact with her body. I couldn't help but lean into the comfortable heat, soft yet rugged body, and stare back into mesmerizing green eyes. "Come a little closer I can calm down."

My arms moved on their own before I could calculate a good response that would help create some space between us. They crossed behind Silver's head, one hand was easing into her thick dark locks and the other was pulling her in or moving me impossibly closer. I didn't know who was the one to remove us, but I had a good guess.

His name rhythms with Gaydar.

This is a hard one I understand. I believe in you. I know you'll find the name, its on the tip of your tongue.

"GET AWAY FROM HER!"

Edward. Bing-Bing. We have a winner.

I was still trying to understand why I had this strong pull to kiss this woman until she was gasping for air, when my husband decided this was the best time to move forward with an attack. While I was still held close by a shift. The only animal aside from our own people that could do some serious damage to me.

Well thought out plan husband.

My body had been pushed to the side. Silver made sure to place her body between the flying Edward and myself. The dirt beneath her feet was flicked up and scattering like she had been digging her heels into the soft clay until this exact moment. One second there is a woman jumping into the air to meet Edward head on and the next there is a horse sized jaguar, swatting its large paw on top of Edward and tossing him to the farthest part of the woods.

"Edward!" I watched how Silver had tossed him with ease. Close to a house cat swatting a down a fly and toying with it until the new object of attention was no longer moving.

After his landing it would take him a total of five seconds to return and attack Silver. I only had five seconds to get myself between them. Why am I also in the middle of some argument between two idiots who say they love me? I don't get it.

What makes me so special? I'm...as ordinary as they come.

"Silver, please!" With my own speed I was able to flash in front of the large creatures way, holding my arms out to the side hoping she would put an end to this. I want her to be the better person. To stop this childish fighting and come sit down inside so we can talk this out like the adults we are. "You don't need to fight him to show me how much you care. I...don't want to see you two hurt."

The jaguar seemed to ponder this, leaning most of its weight on its back legs. I could picture the stance to be similar to her human response of a hand on her hip and her weight shifting to one leg, hip cocked to the side.

"You need to hear me out. The man you're fighting...is my husband." The jaguars ears flatten against its massive head. Her eyes were searching me warily now. Silver had become cautious of what I might say next. Jumping to the conclusion that I have picked Edward over her since he put a ring on my finger and got me knocked up.

"I told you." Edward folded his arms over his chest, relaxing his stance as he watched the horrified expression on the larger cat. He won. It was game over for her.

"But I'm not so sure I'm in love with him anymore..." I said in a softer tone so only she could hear me. I knew from how her eyes had been flickering that Edward returned and had a smug smirk on his face, thinking he had won outright and that this new threat would be departing. "That's why...That's why..."

I heard the sound of bones being crushed together, crunched and replaced with smaller parts. The sound of a shifter reverting to its two-legged form.

"Shhh." I felt a warm hand slide over my cheek reaching for the back of my neck. "I understand." Her voice is soft and caring. "I'm sorry I let my anger win." The Native woman pulled me into her naked body. "I'm sorry." She whispered against my head, pressing her lips against the top of my head.

I had no idea that such a loving embrace and the soft words of apology from someone I just met could make me feel so distraught and accepted. I was scared that if they continued to fight that Edward would read her mind and kill her. I was scared that this new person who is making me feel so much would die, and I wouldn't have known her for more than an hour.

I was scared I would be alone.

I wept. I wrapped my arms tightly around Silver's waist and clung to her while I shamelessly cried against her warm body. Silver stroked my hair and comforted me by saying nothing. My head is filled with confusion, anger, sadness and this new deep longing for this girl. I can't wrap my head around what I want.

After the embarrassing melt down I had in front of my home and being held in the arms of a naked stranger, I was brave enough to put some distance between myself and Silver. With this distance I offered her some clothing that should fit her. Silver was kind enough to follow me into the house, the both of us ignoring Edward who was ranting in the corner about how she was going to be bad news.

"Sorry about him. I..." I tried to give an explanation for my husbands actions as per usual. A warm hand on my shoulder stopped me from continuing. My arms immediately went around my waist and I stepped forward, placing distance between myself and the inviting warmth. "Silver, I know you've imprinted on me."

"Here I thought we went through this conversation before." She voiced, sliding her fingers through long dark hair, a bit of sarcasm in her tone. I pulled in my bottom lip as I spun around to face her, thankfully she had put on the clothing I gathered for her and she was no longer naked. Its easier to speak to this woman without...so many distractions.

"I know the rules shifters go by when they imprint on someone who is married or is dating someone. You're willing to be my closest friend or even sister." Brought my arms away from my waist and rose them higher. The movement was caught by those bright green eyes and I swear she was staring at my chest. Flattering as that is we need to have this conversation. This is serious! She could kill herself over not having me. I don't want that.

Then what the hell do I want?

"Bella, I get it. You don't need to explain your reason for sticking with a child like that." For some reason I didn't stop her advances. I watched, stuck in my spot as she approached me in three clean steps. Her footsteps were silent and cautious, as if she were approaching a deer from behind. "I will be by your side from here on out. I won't lie to you, I'm going to try and take your heart." She spoke confidently. "I want to be your only partner. I want to be your soul-mate for life." Silver smiled down at me. Warm hands cupped my cheeks.

"What do you say, Bella? Are you willing to let me in?"

A verbal response was lying there at the tip of my tongue. The answer we were both afraid to say out loud because it was too early in this new budding relationship. Instead of allowing my brain to over process our closeness I rose onto the tips of my toes, wrapped my arms loosely around her shoulders and brought our lips together.

This chapter has been held off for long enough. I know, its shorter than the first. This road block is hard to overcome ladies and gents. I'm trying my hardest to come up with something you want to read. I don't want this to be a rushed story. It needs time, certain conflicts need to take place. A lot of thought goes into the greatest of stories.

If you're still with them I thank you. Until next time!
