+By default only certain fields from the pivot table will be returned (the two **id** fields, and the timestamps). If your pivot table contains additional columns, you can fetch them too by using the **with()** method :
+
+	class User extends Eloquent {
+
+	     public function roles()
+	     {
+	          return $this->has_many_and_belongs_to('Role', 'user_roles')->with('column');
