Disclaimer: I do not own... just love

Chapter 1

"Almost there" I opened my eye to see the green past by out side the window.

"You're going to love staying here. And your Uncle Billy can't wait" Dad said as he turned off the highway.

My "Uncle Billy" is one of my dads best friends. They went to school together and Billy's wife and my mother were like sisters. When she past away my mother forced us to move. She couldn't stay around here much longer.

Now they are going on a second honeymoon/business trip to New Zealand and Dad asked Billy if I could stay with him. At first he was reluctant to agree but he ended up more then happy to have me for the summer.

"Here it is."

"Looks the same as ever. Doesn't it Danny" mom asked looking over the seat.

I was 7 when we moved so I don't really remember the town but the red house that sat in front of us now I could never forget. "Yeah"

Dad parked the car and got up. Walking to the back to start getting my things out.

"Jon, Helen how are you?" Billy asked from the porch.

"Billy" mom said running to hug her old friend.

"Helen, you look beautiful"

"and you look beat Billy what have you been up too?"

"Jacob has been away for a bit so life's a little harder doing things on my own"

"Where is he? Away at school... no he's only what 16 now?"

"17 and no not at school, he's home now, in the shed actually. But his been staying with a friend out of town" Billy looked over to the tree where you could see a large shed standing. I could hear laughing coming from the shed and wondered how Jacob was.

We didn't spend a lot of time together as kids, I spent more time with his older sisters, being a year older then him. But I always remembered Jacob.

"Is he alone?" I asked Billy as I grabbed my last bag from the trunk.

"No, he has a few friends back there. Why don't you bring your bags in and go say hi"

"Okay" I took the bags in and put them next the couch... I wasn't sure where I would be staying.

"That's fine" Billy said rolling in behind me. "Jake needs to fix the bed in the girls room before you head up there so you can keep your things down here for now"

"Okay" I said slipping back through the door. I wondered if I would know any of Jacobs friends. I remember he spent a lot of time with Quil and Embry, but time had pass they may not be friends anymore.

"Oh Come On Jake" I heard a young girls voice yell from the shed. Jake was spending his time with young girls. I stopped just out side the shed and peeked through the window. There were three guys that looked a few years old then I am and two toddlers around 4 or 5.

I walked over to the open door. "I was going to ask if pip sqeack was here but none of you guys could be little Jakey"

"Danny!" one of the boys stood up and came to hug me.

"Jake?"

"Ya! Wow Danny you're short."

"I'm average height Jacob Black, You on the other hand are giant, what has your father been feeding you." the little girls laughed as Jake picked me up in a bear hug.

When he placed me on the ground again he grabbed my hand and walked me over to the group. "Danny, this is Quil and Embry... you probably don't remember them eh?"

"Of course I do. How are you guys" I said as Quil stood up for a Hug.

"Good, you grow up to be a looker Danny"

"thanks Quil. Embry do I get a hug or are you scared of girls?" I asked the boy, though I can't really call him that, Embry had grown up to be a looker. His dark hair was cropped short showing off his strong jaw and stunning eyes. I shook my head when I noticed I had been staring. He was sitting on a milk crate staring up at me like he'd seen a ghost.

"Embry!" Jacob said snapping his fingers in front of his face.

"What..Huh.. Oh... Hey Danny"

"Hey Embry welcome to the planet"

"Ahh... Jake... can we go ahh talk?" Embry asked looking at me from the corner of his eye.

"Ah... What about Nessie?"

"I can watch her and Clarie"

"No Quil, I think you should come to"

"Okay, I will go talk to Billy"

"I can watch them" I said. All three boys stopped and looked at me. "I mean, if you guys need to go some where, and Billy is visiting with my parents." I turned to the toddlers who were sitting over their game of cards. "Would that be okay?" I asked them.

The smaller one nodded her head and looked back at her cards. The bigger girl had beautiful brown curls that matched her big brown eyes she smiled. "Yes" she said looking over at Jacob.

"Okay then, go do what you need to do. It was nice seeing you boys again. And I will see ya when you come back I'm sure. Jake could you tell my parents to come back and say bye before they leave?"

"Sure, Sure" he smiled and they left the shed.

"So.." I said turning back to the girls. "I'm Danny"

"Clarie" the small one said.

"I'm Nessie"

"well it's nice to meet you girls. Are you Quils niece or Jakes?"

"No" Nessie said with a smile.

"Oh..."

"My mommy and Jake are best friends"

"And Qwils my wo.."

"Her aunts friend" Nessie said.

"Oh thats cool. What did you girls wanna do?" that was probably the wrong question to ask. For the next two and a half hours we played house, go fish, dress up, and hide and seek. We were in the middle of a make over when there was a knock on the door to the shed.

"Hello?" a voice asked. I turned to see a girl with a beautiful face, that was scarred down the left side. I quickly looked away from the scar and focused on the other half of the beautiful faces.

"Oh Hello"

"Emoly" Clarie said jumping down from her chair.

"Hi Clarie" the girl said lifting the toddler into her arms. "You must be Danny, I'm Emily"

"Oh Hello," she had heard of me but I didn't know who she was.

"I'm Claries Aunt"

"Ahh" I smiled.

"Jacob should be home soon, they are running a little late so I came to pick Clarie up. And I think Jake called Bella to pick up Nessie. It was nice meeting you and I'm sure I will see you around." she smiled and her and Clarie left.

"Well Nessie, did you want to head in side? Bella's your mom right?"

Nessie smiled and took my hand. I collected my make up bag off of Jacobs work bench and we headed inside. About 15 minutes later there was a knock on the front door.

"I'll get it Billy, it's probably Nessie's mom" I said lifting the sleeping toddler from my lap.

There was a beautiful girl about my age standing on the other side of the door, her wavy Brown hair gave her away as Nessie's mother. "Hi" she smiled pulling open the door and taking Nessie.

"Hi, shes been out for around 10 minutes"

"okay thank you... it's nice to meet you by the way I'm Bella" she smiled a breath taking smile but stayed in the shadow from the door.

"Danny" I smiled back.
