"Sticks and stones may break our bones... but Bella will surely kill us."

What happens when an overprotective father sends his innocent baby girl to a private self-defense course run by a gay man?  Oh if he only knew what he was paying for!  Edward and Jasper aren't the only ones who have something to teach, seems Bella does as well... the art of patience.

Poly/slash included.

Extended past the June Drabble War entry.

Picks up right after Bella shoots Mike. :)
