I was in the passenger seat of the car that I had bought two days ago. Bella was in the back seat and Quil drivers seat. Don't look at me like that, I had to get something practical. I was looking out of the door window looking to the trees that passed by.

We were to Uncle Charlie's house. Grandma and Grandpa Swan had came over from Spokane in the eastern part of Washington state, past the cascades, because they wanted to see us. They hadn't seen us in a couple of years.

Mom, dad, Uncle Ryan, Aunt Joy, Uncle Quill and Uncle Charlie were already there getting ready. Or entertaining grandma and grandpa. I for one was nervous. Quill, Bella and I grew up a lot since we last saw our grandparents years ago.

With the pack and the law. I don't know how I was going to survive this visit. The grandparents were very nosy with everyone's lives. Especially Bella's, Quil's and my lives.

And I can't tell them anything. Ministry and pack law forbid me.

You could visibly tell that I was still upset about the letter I got from Kingsley this morning. I knew for a fact that Kingsley, being who he is, is going to do everything in his power (minister or not) to help me out with this. He knows that I'm marrying into the Black family. That my name will be on that blasted tree once I marry Jake.

Seth had came into my room to ask me a question about the U~HAUL truck paperwork and the payment to find me balling my eyes out on my bed. With my head buried deep in my pillow. And when he asked me if something was wrong, I showed him the letter I had received.

After calming down from almost phasing in my room, he had told everyone else about the letter. And that had Jake freaked out. But he knew that when Sirius had found out about the imprint two years ago, there was a marriage contract written up for us before 6th year. They all knew I was a high value target when it came marriage. And even more so because of this stupid idiotic law.

Jake was worried the the Weasley family would petition the ministry to get me to marry Percy or Ron. That is why the pack never lets me out of their sight. But when I go to the bathroom, Leah is with me though. Thank god.

The whole pack all knew of the Weasley family's treachery back in my fourth year. How they thought I was using Harry for my own gain. They all believed that I was a common whore. They believed Reta Skeeter and her story of lies.

Harry stayed with me as long as he could. It was hard for him when everyone with red hair was glaring daggers at me. But the Weasley's soon got to him. They twisted Reta's lies for their own gain.

Sirius was so angry with Harry for abandoning his friend like that. And Harry was equally as angry when Sirius made me his heiress not knowing that I was going to be marrying a Black.

I had been in Black Manor waiting for a portkey home when Sirius started to yell at Harry for what he did. Sirius said that Harry should not have believed the Weasley's or the newspaper.

Harry was almost knocked out so Sirius could change Harry's memories of the Weasley's. That day was chanting in my head for Sirius to do that to Harry. I was also about to bring Jake with me to school for protection the next school year.

That is also why I spent more time with the Slytherins. The protected me when I needed it. And even though I spent so much time with the Slytherin house the staff and the school board still saw me as a Gryffindor.

I was pulled out of my thoughts when Bella, Quil and I pull up to the Forks version of a two story town house with an attic. We see Uncle Ryan pacing in the yard. He looked like someone foiled a villains plans in the movies. Quill, using his super sonic wolf hearing, said that Ryan was muttering something about Embry being his son and grandma and grandpa wanting to meet him tonight.

That means the mystery is solved. And I don't want it to be solved. I wanted it to be a mystery a little while longer.

I cried as a little bit of me died inside when I heard those words coming out of my cousins mouth. The mystery about Embry's parentage had been the only thing that was keeping me sane these last 4 days. Even with the letter showing up.

"Uncle Ryan?" I say when I get out of the car

He looked to me with worry in his eye. He was very pail. Even for the likes of him.

"Is everything okay?" I ask in a calm voice

"No everything's not." He croaked

I stayed by my car away from Uncle Ryan just incase he phased with how much he was shaking and Quil may need to quickly phase to stop him also. We were a little worried. You could see it on our faces. Grandma and Grandpa did not know about the pack.

Quil soon told Bella and I to get into the house. We ran to the house as fast as we could while Quil stared down Uncle Ryan. Which worried me a little. Ryan has more fighting experience in his wolf form than Quil does.

When we walk into the house we instantly see our grandparents. When I hugged grandma I see Aunt Joy ask where Quil was.

'Ryan' I mouth back

Joy nodded back knowing what I meant. She knew Ryan was about to phase.

Joy knew of the packs existence because Paul phased in front of her. Accidentally I might add. It was completely my fault. I had gotten extremely angry at Paul one day and it completely slipped my mind that Paul was the wolf that had the short fuse.

And it didn't help that he phase practically in the open. And it really didn't help that Aunt Joy was taking the trash out at that exact moment. I definitely got in trouble for that one.

I had to clean the information center's and the beaches restrooms for a month. In the middle of freaken July no less. And do you know bad the beaches bathrooms are during that time? They are so freaken disgusting.

When Bella and I sat down, the grandparents started on rapid fire questions. I couldn't answer all of them because the pass over into the statute of security line. Luckily Bella was able to cover for me. I hate all this security.

And I can't tell them as they aren't what the ministry calls immediate family or magical creatures and their mates. I hate magical law sometimes.

After awhile Quil and Uncle Ryan walk in. Ryan looked all nervous. He should be. He kept a huge secret from us.

"Where is your son Ryan?" Grandma asks

Ryan shifts on his feet. With his actions Quil tells Ryan to tell them about the situation.

"Well here's the thing. He doesn't know that I'm his father." Ryan said

"And Hermione, Bella and I just found out about this when we pulled up." Quil said

I sat back on the couch with my arms crossed. You can tell I wasn't happy with Ryan at the moment.

"Hermione why don't you go and get Embry?" Aunt Joy asked

Oh yeah. Aunt Joy knows about magic too. The same day as the mishap with Paul, I had to do some magic.

"Okay Aunt Joy." I say

I get up and go out the back door. After walking a few feet into the woods I apperated to my house where Embry was watching tv with Collin and Brady.

"Hermione what are you doing here?" Embry asked

"Yeah, we thought you were spending time with your grandparents." Brady said

"Well I found out something interesting." I say

"Yeah what's that?" Collin asked

"My grandparents know who Embry's father is. They want to tell him face to face." I lie

This was the only way I know how to get Embry to Uncle Charlie's house.

"How do they know that?" Embry asked

"They have a friend at the place where I bought and sent the DNA kits." I say

Well that's not a lie. That's how they found out about Ryan. And technically it was a cousin who works there as a VP. That's how I got the kits for cheap. He gave me a friends and family discount and his employee discount on top of that.

I like having a relative that high up in a company. I grab Embry and apperated us to the woods near the house. We could hear yelling. Apparently Ryan doesn't want to talk.

Embry and I walk in through the kitchen. Uncle Charlie was there gettin a beer.

"Their in the living room." Charlie said when he saw us

We walked into the room. And my god. You could cut the tension with a knife.

"Hey I got Embry." I say

I was nervous. There has never been this much tension in this house before. It was usually saved for the meetings with the leaches.

Embry and I sit down. Bella on the arm of the couch next to me and Quil standing in between Ryan and Emry just incase he needs to intervene.

Grandma looked to Embry then to the rest of us. She noticed that all four of us were not very interested in this. Bella, Quil and I for good reason. Embry only went along with the DNA thing for laughs.

He really didn't want to know who his father was. Everyone else did. But not Embry. That's why I addressed it to Sam's house. I know he or Emily would tell the pack.

And if we told the elders, Charlie would have punched Ryan for not taking responsibility for Embry.

When Embry was told, he looked to Ryan and growled. He stood ready to pounce. But Quil stopped him.

"Em, this is not the time nor place." Quil whispered to Embry

Embry backed off nodding. He now knew the grandparents did not know of our world. Our messed up batshit crazy world. One with vampires, werewolves, shapeshifters and magicals.

"I want to go home." Embry said

"Okay. Let's go home." I say

We walk to the car. Embry sits in the back with Bella. Quil once again driving.
