Isabella Toretto's Story

Chapter 11

I woke up with Collin and Brady on either side of me, Jake was laying on the foot of the bed, and somehow Brian ended up as my pillow. I smiled at my three puppies and my Brian. I tried to get up without waking them up, it took a while but I did it. Talk about easier said than done. I set about fixing breakfast, it was then I noticed that Uncle Charlie hasn't been grocery shopping since I left. I wrote a quick note saying I was going to the store in case one of them woke up. When I got back I started making pancakes, bacon, and sausage. When I got the first few pancakes on a plate, Brian came down.

"Good morning. How many pancakes do you want?" I asked.

"Morning to you to. I'll have three please." He answered.

"Bacon or sausage?" I questioned.

"Bacon please." He replied.

As I sat the plate down Charlie walked in.

"Morning Charlie." Brian and I said.

"Morning. Smells good Bells. Can I have 2 pancakes with bacon and sausage?" Charlie asked.

"Of course you can." I replied while handing him the plate.

I was able to make eight more pancakes before the boys came racing down the stairs. I muttered 'incoming' to Brian and Charlie who just chuckled at my antics.

"Boys!! Manners!" I yelled.

"Sorry Mom. Morning Mom. Morning Charlie. Morning Brian." Jake, Collin, and Brady said in unison.

"Thank you, that's much better. Now please sit and wait patiently while I fix more pancakes." I responded.

I gave the eight pancakes I already had fixed to Brady. I rolled my eyes as I heard the other two groan. I fixed Brady four pancakes and fixed the other two a dozen each. I don't know how Emily does it. Charlie left about 20 minutes ago, and Brian has started cleaning up a little bit. I have been cooking pancakes for an hour and a half already and I haven't eaten anything. I feel like I'm about to drop at any second. I suddenly feel the spatula ripped out of my hand.

"Sit down and let me fix you breakfast. You have been cooking for almost two hours now. So, sit down." Brian demanded.

"Ok, but I want fourteen pancakes." I replied.

"Fine, but I am assuming that you want this many because of your new metabolism your pups told me about." He responded.

Before I could respond, the doorbell rang. When I stood up Jake was already opening the door. I saw my family standing in the doorway, my brother standing in front. I ran down the small hallway and jumped into my brother's arms.

"Missed you too sis." Dom chuckled.

I invited them in and let them introduce themselves to Jake, Collin, and Brady. I escaped to the kitchen to start eating my pancakes. I guess I was hungrier than I thought because I finished half of them in just a few minutes. I smiled as I saw Brian cleaning up the kitchen for me. I heard and smelled Vince coming towards the kitchen.

"When you're done, go wash my car." Vince said.

I looked at him and responded, "Excuse me?"

"Not you Bella, the buster." Vince replied.

I immediately saw red. How dare he insult my imprint? As I lunged at him I was intercepted by Jake and dragged outside. I heard a faint rip as I phased into a giant, gray wolf. As my family came out they immediately aimed their guns at me.

"Stop! Don't shoot!" Brian yelled as he stepped in between me and our family.

Brian turned towards me and smiled. I slowly took a step towards him, and he took a step to close the gap between us. I lifted my front right paw to his shoulder and pulled him closer. He wrapped his arms around me and whispered, 'please phase back'. And that's what I did. Brian pulled me into a tighter hug, while our family just stood there in shock at the fact that I was a wolf. Jake walked over and handed me my clothes. After I put my clothes on I looked at my family and started to cry.

"Baby, why are you crying?" Brian asked.

"What if they hate me? What if they make me leave? I don't want to lose them Bri." I cried.

"Isabella Toretto listen to me. If they are your family, they will love you no matter what. And if they do make you leave, you can come live with me. Or we can stay here if you want. Just know I'll always love you and I'll never leave you." He declared.

I couldn't help but cry even more and buried myself into his chest. It took me several minutes but I calmed down enough to pull away and dry my eyes. I summoned all my courage and turned towards my family, ready to face any questions or comments they may have.
