I'm back with yet another Seth story!

Let me know if you like it and if I should continue, thanks guys! REVIEWWWW

"Dammit," Seth cursed as his knee hit the dashboard and all his CD's came crashing down. He scowled at the old jeep. Dust was starting to collect in places he didn't even know dust could get in. Not to mention every time he moves he breaks something, being 6'4 isn't all it's cracked up to be.

A smile appeared on the tired 25 year olds face when he passed the "Welcome to La Push- Population 463" home for the first time in almost 10 years.

In all honesty Seth didn't know if he would stay or for how long. La Push would always be home but it would also always hold sad memories of his past when his family was actually together. The last time he saw Leah they had a huge blowup and he hadn't heard from her in years, except maybe the occasional swipe in her mind when he turned wolf. Now his mom he talked with on a regular basis.

Seth left with the Cullen's to be with Jake, Seth didn't expect to stay for 10 years but he really enjoyed traveling the world with them, and when Jake's family expanded he grew even closer with them. Jake has 3 kid's two boys and a girl.

Seth pulled up in front of the all too familiar brown house with a red roof. He grinned and jumped out of the jeep, "Seth!" A voice yelled. Seth looked up and met the eyes of Emily Uley, his smile grew and he walked quickly as she ran and jumped in his arms. "Oh my god Seth, we missed your cute little butt around here."

"Mommy you said Butt!" A squeal erupted. Seth eyes met that of a small boy, probably 5 or 6. A carbon copy of Emily. His eyes moved back to Emily and he laughed.

Emily's cheek flushed and she turned quickly, "Cruze!"

"What?" The small boy shrugged.

Seth couldn't help but laugh again.

"Sorry," Emily mumbled and led Seth toward the house. She ruffled the boys hair and he hid into her side, "This is my youngest, Cruze."

"Unique." Seth nodded with a smile.

"Yeah," Emily laughed, "You remember Kyra?"

"Cutie with the pigtails!" Seth nodded.

"Not so much anymore, she's fourteen."

"What?!"

"Yep, a lot of crap has happened since you left Sethy, I also have a son, Kaden he's 10."

"Dam-ng," He quickly stuttered.

Emily snorted, "Well come on in, I'll feed ya."

"You know I will never turn down food Ems."

Seth sat with Emily for hours getting lost in the conversation. Even though everything went down with Sam and Leah Seth has always been close with the Uley's. Maybe not as close as with Paul and Rachel because of his contact with them over the years, but nonetheless he can always find a way into the Uley house if possible.

The door opened a few hours later and Sam stumbled in, when his eyes met Seth's he smiled and tackled him in a hug. "I missed you kid." He mumbled into his ear.

"Missed you too, man."

Seth's eyes met Sam's for a long time before he got the hint that it was time to talk business. The whole reason he came back to La Push. "Em, why don't you take the kids out to a movie?"

"Alright," Emily nodded and rustled her children together before leaving out the door.

Sam sat down on the recliner facing Seth. He rested his elbows on his knees. "So, a lot of teens have been changing recently."

"Yeah, that happens when vampires come through the area."

Sam scowled and met Seth's eye, "Not just a few Seth."

Seth raised an eyebrow.

"6."

Seth's eyes shot up to his hairline, "Shit. That's more than when the volturi came here, Sam."

Sam rubbed a hand down his face and stood up pacing, "I know. The strangest part of all is that there hasn't been one damn scent of a vampire in nearly a year. But something is going on I can feel it. But it's been happening for a while now and I'm starting to realize that this isn't my fight."

"What the hell does that mean?"

Sam sat back down roughly, "Seth it's time for me to give up my wolf I should have years ago. I have already talked to Jacob, he's moving himself and his family back down here."

Seth scrunched his eyebrows together in a fine line, "And why didn't he tell me this? Jake tells me everything."

"I asked him not too."

Seth flinched slightly, "And why would you do a thing like that?"

"It's complicated. I can't tell you right now, you will just have to find out in a few days. Until then, you can begin getting reacquainted with the wolves and teach the young ones the ropes."

Seth growled in the back of his throat. "I don't like that you're hiding stuff from me, I drove a hundred thousand miles Sam. I also really don't like that you're ordering me around when you know damn well you aren't my alpha."

"Do I have to be your alpha Seth?" Sam said tightly, "I'm a leader in this tribe and on the council. You shouldn't have to be a wolf to listen to me, you've been taught that since birth." Sam growled right back. Despite him not being Seth's alpha his voice still sent chills down his spine.

Seth looked down ashamed, "You're right. Sorry Sam I'm just on edge. Not to mention I'm really tired and annoyed you won't tell me what I'm even doing here. Pretty sure you would be a little pissed too."

"I said you would find out in a few days."

"Fine, fine." The always passive Seth mumbled, "I'm going home, I need some shut eye."

Sam nodded

Seth went to leave out the screen door then turned around to face Sam and grinned, "Nice talk Sam. I really missed your super encouraging tone."

"Shut up brat, get the hell out of my house."

"You know you love me."

"uh huh."

"You loooooove me." Seth mumbled doing some horribly awkward dance move.

"Seriously, GET OUT!"

"Yes! Only here 6 hours and I already got the famous Sam bellow I've missed so much," Seth narrowly escaped the size 13 shoe aimed at his head on the way out. He couldn't help but chuckle as he climbed in the jeep and continued down the little dirt road. Maybe he missed home more than even he, realized.

"Mom?" Seth mumbled as he walked in his house, everything was abandoned, the house didn't look livable anymore. Seth walked in and the door fell of the hinges, "Shit!" He mumbled quickly and slowly lowered it to the ground. He poked his head in the rest of the way and it looked like something from a movie. There was dust everywhere and the house was starting to get that musky smell. He cussed when a rat made its way out of cabinet and back into the wall, he picked his phone up and dialed his mom.

"Hello?"

"Mom?"

"….Yes?"

"Why does our house look like something out of The Evil Dead?"

Sue snorted, "Wait." She mumbled after laughing a bit, "Seth are you in La Push?"

"Yes." A quick pause, "Are you not?"

There was another awkward pause before Sue answered, "Not exactly. Come to Charlie Swan's house and we'll talk. I can't believe you're home Seth!" Then the line went dead.

Seth looked at the phone confused before he drove the quick drive to Charlie's house when he pulled up to the curb he slowed and his jaw dropped at the site of the house. It was much cleaner and fancier than he remembered. There was a water fountain in the front yard along with flowers lining the house and a new greenish paint on the outside. Suddenly before he could cross the side of the jeep to the front yard completely his mom came barreling out of the house more urgently than Emily had and attacked him, she clutched onto him like a monkey and he held her with the same urgency in his arms.

"I missed you son."

"I missed you too mom, so much."

Sue's body shook as tears started soaking his shoulder, "Aw mom please don't cry. Please. I'm here now and I'm apparently here for good."

"What?" Sue mumbled, pulling back with a giant grin on her face, mixed with slight worry.

"Yep, with everything that's happening Jake is coming back and so am I. I still don't understand why I'm here completely. But I guess I'll figure it out."

Sue's eyes widened, and she stepped back away from Seth. "What mom? Do you know something?"

"I know a lot." Sue mumbled looking at the ground. Before he could question anything she led him to the stairs of the house and he sat beside her. He could tell she didn't want him going in the house but he didn't question it for the moment. "I guess I should start with saying I live with Charlie now."

Seth's eyes snapped to Sue. "What?"

Sue bit her lip, "Me, Leah, and Charlie… live here."

Seth saw red, he stood abruptly and turned on his mother. "What the hell? Leah is okay with this? Leah is here? You told me you didn't know where Leah was and she has been here the whole damn time?!"

"Seth," Sue's voice pleaded.

"No? What else haven't you told me? I can tell you're hiding something. Everyone seems to be hiding something! I know I was gone but you could have told me over the phone we talked every other day for god's sake."

Sue's eyes watered with shame, "I know baby. I'm so sorry it was for your own good, you will understand soon."

"And why does everyone keep saying that?!" Seth stood and nearly stomped to the edge of the grass.

"Seth!" Sue tried pleading again.

"No, I don't feel like talking anymore. Don't wait up I'll find somewhere else to stay tonight. My own family has been lying to me."

Seth slammed his door on the jeep and drove off fast from the small neighborhood in Forks. He just needed to drive. Something to calm his nerves. He continued to drive the route outside of Forks and continued straight for miles. The sun was starting to set and another Jake Owen song played in the background. Seth bobbed his knee to the music, humming along because he sounds like shit and he knows he does so humming is a fair in-between.

He squinted slightly, nearly 13 miles ahead of him he could make out a car smoking. He glanced toward the woods then back at the car, this was out of La Push territory, a perfect snack for any vampire passing through the territory. Seth sighed and pulled his jeep up in front of the car. He couldn't see anyone near and he got out. "Um, Hello?"

"I got a crowbar and I know how to use it." A very high pitched, panicked voice threatened.

Seth smirked and backed away, resting his hip against his jeep. "Oh yeah? Prove it."

"Ugh!" The voice scoffed in utter disgust making Seth chuckle.

Slowly but surely a tall girl made her way out from behind the bug, with a crowbar in one hand and a shovel in the other. Seth's eyes automatically fell on her legs, they were so long they just kept going, the dress she was wearing helped the cause even more. Her body was fit and athletic. And her long dark hair fell to nearly her hips. She looked to be somewhat Quileute but noticeably not completely.

When her eyes finally met his Seth's world shifted nothing mattered but her in that moment. Not even her body though. It was like a life. Like a life full of happiness all in one moment. His heart felt like it could burst any second. He could see her in every light and his entire body singled from the top of his hair that annoyingly sticks up in the back to the very tip of his toes.

His moment was interrupted when both of her weapons fell to the ground and the beauty gawked at him, "Wait… I thought you were dead?"

"What?" Seth asked surprised, completely shocked by the first words out of his imprints mouth.

"Seth….." The girl whispered slowly.

That whisper registered in the very back of his brain. His childhood classmate, and first time, the day before he went wolf then disappeared a few months later for 10 years. Holy crap his imprint was the girl he lost his virginity too then walked out on and never came back to the state again… oh boy. "Liv?"

Olivia blushed and looked away, "No one has called me that since high school."

Seth started to say something back but another voice interrupted his own, "Mom can I come out now?"

Before he could even think a small boy probably 8 poked his head around the car and upon seeing the man instantly hid behind his mother, his bright blue eyes contrasted with his dark skin. More Quileute than his mother. His hair was super curly like hers though and stuck up in all different directions. When his eyes met Seth another chill went through his body, "Dad?"

Every bone in his body stuck together. Seth's eyes slowly widened and he couldn't move from his contracted position, he was standing completely frozen staring deeply into Olivia's eyes. "Dad." Seth mumbled confused. The word seemed like poison coming from his lips, he hadn't said it in so long.

"Dad," Olivia nodded. She pulled her son closer to her body. "Seth… We have so much to talk about. I thought you were DEAD, they told me, I can't believe you're standing in front of me right now." Olivia's voice shook.

"Wait, who told you. What the hell is going on?"

"Sam told me. Sam and the entire council told me. They all lied to me." Olivia said, as if talking to herself. She looked up to Seth with tears in her eyes. "Seth… Everyone lied to me, I'm so sorry."

A tremor shook throughout her body and her knees went weak. Seth propelled his body forward and caught her before she went crashing into the pavement. "Olivia!" He yelled, patting her on the cheek. "Liv, wake up! Please!" He felt her pulse and sighed when he felt it, automatically thinking the worst.

"Mom!" The ringing in his ears left him and he finally registered the little boy panicking beside him. He glanced over at him.

"Hey, buddy it's going to be okay."

The small blue eyes glared daggers at him before he continued shaking his mom. Seth looked around and realized she needed to go to the hospital, since she still wasn't waking up.

Seth stood with her in his arms and put her in the front seat, he looked at the boy frozen on the ground. "Hey, we're going to take your mom to a doctor okay?"

The boy shook his head

"We have too."

Again a headshake, Seth cursed under his breath and went to stand in front of the boy when a minute full of pleading didn't work he picked the screaming kid up and sat him in the back of the jeep. He wondered briefly if it was kidnapping when the child was his. He continued to fight but reluctantly sat still when Seth told him his mom needed him to be brave. "So what's your name buddy?"

Blue eyes met his in the rearview mirror, but they just widened and didn't say anything back to him. The word 'Dad' continued to echo throughout Seth's head.

"Matty," The bell like voice of his angel finally said. Seth's eyes widened and he looked over at Liv, she was smiling at him. Seth slowed the jeep until it rumbled against the rumble guards on the side of the road then he put the jeep in park. "Matthew Harrison Clearwater."

"It sounds like my dad." Seth whispered, choking up slightly at the thought.

"That's the point." Olivia nodded, glancing back at Matt in the back seat.

"Matt." The boy finally spoke, glaring slightly at his mother.

Seth let out a giant laugh and threw his head back. Olivia couldn't help but join him, laughing really hard as well. They were all completely confused, but there was a level of comfort inside that little jeep that Seth hadn't felt since before his dad died.

"Matty." Seth grinned, nodding back at the boy. The glare was then directed at Seth, but that made Seth only grin more.

"Soooooo, what now?" Olivia asked. Swallowing the lump in her throat and looking at Seth.

Seth thought long and hard about that statement before he met the ocean blue eyes that were only a tiny bit less intense than Matty's. "I have no idea."

The thought in the back of his head however was…La Push population- 464
