---FF A WEEK---“the treatment so far seems to be working, your cancer has shrunken a little since I last saw you so chemo will only be a back up if the medication stops working” Dr. Carlisle Cullen told me after my examination. “That’s a good sign right?” I asked making sure. “It’s a brilliant sign, just keep taking the medication and then in a couple weeks it should be small enough to operate on, have you told Paul and the kids yet?” he asked. “No, not yet, im just trying to figure how to word it and break the news to them gently” I told Dr. Cullen truthfully. “Just make sure you do tell them before it’s too late” he said giving me a reassuring smile. “I will, thanks Carlisle” I said to him before walking out of his office. I sighed deeply as I walked back to my car and made my way back the Reservation. I pulled into the driveway and got out of my car and made my way inside. It was quieter then usual the kids weren’t running around or being noisy, Yana wasn’t chattering on the phone, in fact no body was home. I walked up to mine and Paul’s bedroom and lay down on the bed. Paul had grown up in this house so there was no way I was letting him move in with me. His house was ten times better looking than mine anyway and when the kids were born there was enough room for them.  While enjoying the piece and quiet that would be unwillingly interrupted when it was time for dinner, I closed my eyes and remembered mine and Paul’s first kiss. ---FLASHBACK ---“Paul, stop” I choked through fits of laughter as I lay on his couch with him hovering over me tickling my sides. I was a very ticklish person. “Not until you say im the greatest” he said as he continued to tickle me. “Ok, ok, Paul you are the greatest” I said giving up. He stopped tickling me and helped me sit. He sat next to me and pulled me into his side. “Do you want to watch a movie” I asked him pulling back enough to look at him. “Yeah sure, you can choose one” he said. I smiled and got up from his couch and started looking through his DVD collection. “How about Scarface?” I asked. “Put it on” he told me. I smiled even more and put the DVD into the player, grabbed the remote and went to sit with Paul again. I felt him pull me into him again as the movie started. Paul and I had known each other for about six months and were really close friends. Lynn was dating Jared so we weren’t hanging out 24/7 like we use to but we still saw each other everyday, we were still best friends. Paul’s friends had warned me about Paul’s temper but I hadn’t yet faced it and I didn’t want to either. I couldn’t stand the thought of Paul being angry with me. Half way through the movie I felt Paul’s gaze on me. “What?” I asked turning to look at him. “Nothing, you’re just really…” he started to say but then placed his lips gently to mine. I was shocked but kissed back. The kiss started to become more urgent and before I knew it we were heavily making out. That was until there was a knock at Paul’s front door. I pulled back from Paul and heard him let out a groan. I went and answered the door to see Jared and Lynn standing there. “Hey guys” I said smiling at them. “What have you been doing?” Lynn asked giving me a crooked smirk. “Watching a movie” I told her. “That’s why your lip gloss is smudged” Jared laughed walking past me to get inside. Lynn raised an eyebrow as she smiled at me already knowing what I was doing. I frowned at her so she knew to keep quiet. That was until Jared’s booming laugh went off. “Dude there is no denying it, you were lip locking with V” he laughed. “Ok so you don’t have to keep it quiet” I said to Lynn as she stepped inside. “Im not denying it, I really like her, I have since I saved her six months ago” I heard Paul say. I squealed inside my head when I heard him say that. I lost all control of my thoughts. I walked up to Paul and crashed my lips to his. He surprisingly kissed back. “Okay, we only came over to see if you two wanted to go to the beach but obviously your both too busy so we’ll see you later” I heard Jared say before the door slammed shut. I pulled back from Paul so I could breathe. “Do you really like me?” I asked him smiling. “I really do” he smiled back kissing me once again.---END FLASHBACK--- “Mummy” I heard my 6 year old son call out from downstairs. I got up and walked down stairs to see Damien standing at the front door way covered in sand. “Did daddy get uncle Quil and Embry to look after you?” I asked him. He nodded his head in reply like he was proud of himself. “Did they take you to the beach?” I asked. “Yeah, and uncle Embry tried to teach me how to kick the football propa-prop-propaply” he said looking at me with innocent eyes. “And how did that work out for you” I asked him chuckling as I took his hand and lead him to the bathroom. “I kept missing” he pouted. “Aww, sweetie, you’ll kick it one day” I said running him a bath. “Is daddy working tonight” he asked watching me run his bath. “Yes but you’ll get to see him before he leaves” I said as I turned the taps off. “I love you forever mummy” he said as I helped him out of his clothes. “I love you forever too Damien” I said as he kissed my cheek. “Now be a good boy and get in the bath” I told him as I picked up his dirty clothes. I watched him get into the bath with ease. He had his father’s height so for a six year old he was slightly taller than the others. I took his clothes to the laundry room and put them in the dirty clothes pile then walked into the kitchen to start preparing for dinner.
