(Morticia's Pov)

The rest of the day was quite dull compared to the past 24 hours, at least in Morticia's opinion. 

After that shocking revelation of Morticia's abrupt healing, the Cullen's decided to fill her in on what she missed during her coma.

"So how exactly did you and the wolves become all...friendly, all of a sudden? Before all of this, I would've guessed it's be a cold day in hell before I could get any of you in a room together." She said as the group settled into the living room. She cuddled into Edward's side on the love seat by the piano as Emmett let out a booming laugh.

"That is one hell of a story, little sis. We couldn't have done it without your little, uh, accident." 

Morticia raised her brow as Carlisle chimed in, "What Emmett means is your injury prompted the wolves to reach out to us and it gave them the prompting needed to make changes necessary."

Jasper chuckled from his seat next to Alice, "I've never felt such fear and anxiety in one room, and we've gone through high school how many times now?"

Everybody chuckled at the thought before they all dove into their individual stories involving the wolf pack. Esme had made friends with the wives of the wolves and apparently had the boys 'howling' for more of her double chocolate brownies. When Morticia questioned her sudden cooking expertise Esme blushed, "I may have accidentally doubled the amount of chocolate needed for the recipe, but the boys didn't seem to mind! They all thought they were some special kind of recipe, and I didn't have the heart to tell them any different."

Morticia raised an eyebrow at the Cullen matriarch, "And all this time, I thought that chocolate was bad for dogs, Esme!" Rosalie huffed out a laugh, "Yeah, you wouldn't believe how much those dogs eat! it's disgusting, even for teenage boys," her nose scrunched up at the thought.

Jasper and Emmett told her how they decided to teach some of the wolves some self-control methods and start some basic training. "I gotta admit it's pretty fun to train the pups, they've got potential," Jasper admitted as he turned towards Alice. "Even if we have to endure their......odor."

Morticia chuckled at Jasper's attempts to keep his gentlemanly demeanor, not to say that didn't work for them but she knew wet dog smell- and she wouldn't exactly call it a simple odor.

Turning to Edward, she raised her eyebrow. "And let me guess, you annoyed the hell out of them by telling the others what they were thinking in wolf form, didn't you."

He gave her a sheepish look as he pulled her into his chest and kissed the crown of her head.

"They are rather interesting to read, but I'd give anything to see even a glimpse inside your thoughts," He whispered gently in her ear, causing her to blush slightly.

It still amazed her that Edward couldn't read her thoughts. She was pretty sure that Jasper could sense her emotions and Alice was able to see her in visions, at least when she wasn't near the wolves. So why was Edward's power any different. She couldn't be a shield, could she?

Alice spoke up then, bringing Morticia out of her inner musings. 

"Morticia, I think we need to discuss another very important thing......shopping for your homecoming dress! Homecoming is just two weeks away so we need to get started as soon as possible."
