Swan Goin' Wolf

Moving In

 I woke up cradled to a warm chest with warm arms wrapped around me. I felt safe, relaxed and well rested for the first time in a while. I looked up to see Sam looking down at me.

"I think I could get used to waking up with you in my arms." Sam said and I smiled before moving up to kiss him.

"I like it, too." I said and he smiled.

"Your dad knows your here. I called him and told him that you fell asleep and that I didn't feel comfortable waking you to have you drive home. He agreed with me and said he was glad you would be getting a full night's sleep." Sam said and I tucked me face back into his chest.

"No you don't." Sam said and I felt his hand coax my face back up to look at him.

"You can't do that, Sunny. You can't hide what your feeling or thinking from me. Haven't we learned that?" Sam asked and I sighed and sat up.

"Since Paxson I've tried to have as little dependency on others as possible. Old habits die hard, I guess." I said and Sam nodded.

"No one ever said a relationship would be easy. It's a learning curve for both parties. I've had to learn to not only think about me and how things would effect me. I've had to learn how things will effect you and I've had to learn how decisions would effect the pack. I've had to learn how to organize my time instead of doing things when I feel like it. You'll need to learn to depend at least a little on me. I'll always be here, Sunny. There's no getting rid of me." Sam joked and I smiled.

"Who said I wanted to get rid of you?" I asked.

"All the times you bruised my ego and turned me down?" He asked and I laughed.

"I was just testing your patience." I teased and he laughed leaning down to kiss me.

"Want to search the kitchen for lunch or do you want to go to the diner?" Sam asked and I tilted my head in confusion.

"Lunch?" I asked and Sam pointed to the clock on the night stand that read it was almost eleven thirty already.

"Oh." I said surprised.

"You didn't even know how tired you were." Sam said softly and I cringed.

"I feel like I'll be leaving dad to deal with all this alone." I said and Sam wrapped his arms around me again.

"Maybe this will be the push he needs to get Bella some professional help." Sam said and I sighed.

"Dad hates shrinks. Says their a waste of money. He went to one after his divorce from Renee right after he got custody of me. Said that all the shrink did was make him feel worse." I said and Sam kissed the side of my head.

"So what'd he do to get over it?" Sam asked.

"He said that he threw himself into being a dad, being the best that he could be for me. Still tells me that without me his life would be a dark place." I said and Sam nodded.

"Maybe Bella just needs to find her own light in the darkness. Someone to pull out of the hole she's found herself in." Sam said and I nodded.

"Maybe." I sighed.

"You never answered my question." Sam said and I thought about it.

"How about we go out. I would like one of Miss. May's potpies."I said and Sam shook his head having already learned about my weakness.

"Aright. I'll make the bed while you shower." He said and I nodded kissing him one last time before heading off to clean up.

"I thought every woman's weakness was chocolate?" Sam asked as he drove and I smile.
