Surprises are around every corner. At least that's what they say. Just like they say bad things happen to good people. You could be diagnosed with cancer, you could be in a car crash, or someone you know could die. Those things are what most people call 'bad surprises', but for Sam Uley a bad surprise turned into so much more.
It was another rainy day in La Push Washingtion. Sam was watching cartoons with his three year old son, Samuel Junior, when the unexpected knock came. He exchanged looks with a few of the pack guys that were over waiting to switch for patrol. People usually never knocked at the Uley house, they normally just came in. Sam stood from his recliner setting Sj in his place and went to answer the door.
Confusion overcame Sam when he saw the middle aged man in a fancy suit on his porch. He held a brief case and looked out of place. Sam looked past him at his car, a Bentley. Sam immediatly knew he wasn't from Forks. The man held out a hand and introduced himself as Keith Powers and asked if he was Sam. Sam said he was and the man looked relieved.
"You've been difficult to find son." the man chuckled. Sam just continued looking at him with no amusement. The man quickly stopped and cleared him throat. "I'm an attorney in Port Angelous. I need a moment to talk to you about a will."
Sam furrowed his brow in confusion. He asked who the will belonged to. The man looked at him reluctantly. "Joshua Uley. Your father."

They sat in the kitchen across from one another. The man kept looking at Sam like he was perpared for him to break down. In truth Sam never really cared for his father. He knew who he was and that he had abandoned him and his mother, then did it again to Tiffany Call, Embry's mom.
Sam found out two years ago that Embry was his half brother after Miss Call finally came clean to him. They were glad they fianlly knew the truth and nothing changed between them. They were brother just like the rest of the pack. The only differnce was Embry moved next door to Sam after him mom moved to the Mekah rez.
The door opened and in came the little brother himself, fresh off patrol. He was only wearing cut off jeans and the man at the table crinkled his nose before turning back to Sam. "This should be talked about in private."
"This is Embry Call." Sam watched the man's eyes shoot up in surprise. "Joshua's other son."
Embry looked between the man in confusion before taking a seat as Sam motioned next to him.
The man cleared his throat and opened his breif case pulling out a few papers. "Joshua commited suicide three days ago. He had written his will a week before. He has left you both a fair amount of money and a letter to each."
Embry stiffened up at the infomation. Sam knew this was hard on him. He had Joshua as a dad few a few years before he left. Embry never had him. He knew they were thinking the same thing.
"Give the money to charity." The man froze half way through moving papers and looked up at Sam, eyes filled with shock. "We don't want anything that man has given to us."
Keith set his papers down and folded his hands and looked at the native. "Well, before you decide there's one more thing he left, but this is for you Sam."
Sam leaned back in his seat and motion for the man to contunie. Keith flipped through more papers before grabbing something small and slidding it across the table. It was a picrure of a young girl. She couldn't be much younger than Embry, sixteen or seventeen. She had long dark hair and grey eyes. Her body had a bit of muscle from what Sam could see. Her hair was in double french braids and she wore little make up but she was stunning. Sam pushed the picture to Embry so he could see and turned his attention to the man once again.
"Who's that?" he asked unamused and curious at the same time.
"That's Tyler Grace Uley. Your sister. She's seventeen. Your father named you her gardian if anything were to happen to him."
Surprised was an understatment. Sam never knew about her and that angered him. Why could he be there for her and not him and Embry? Sam eyed this picture and knew he couldn't blame her for their fathers mistakes. She was an innocent in this. But one question bounced around in Sam's head. Why him?
"Where's her mother?" Sam asked.
"Mental institution. She's a schizophrenic. She did some things when Tyler was younger and Joshua felt it was best she get help. She can't care for her."
"Why me?" Sam was so confused as to why his father had picked him. "I hadn't seen my dad since I was three. I didn't even know she existed."
The man shrugged, "He said that there was no one else he would trust with her. You have time to think Sam. She is with a friend at the moment. Until you make a desion. The funeral is Friday. If you choose to be her gardian then you can come to my office afterwards and sign the paperwork. If not just give me a call and I'll hand it over to the state."

He bid his farwell and left the brothers in silence. Sam knew he wouldn't make a decision without consulting Emily before hand. He had time but not as much as he had wanted. The funeral was the day after tomorrow and there was no way he could have enough time to think about this. He wasn't sure he could raise a teenager, especially not in his world. But he wanted to get to know her. She was family and he had so many questions. Embry didn't give any input, he left without saying a word. Emily thought it was wonderful idea of course. She kept saying that she was blood and was excited she would have a sister and that Sj would have an aunt.
He came to a desicion thay night and the next morning he called the pack for a meeting. Embry came earlier so Sam could discuss it with him before hand. After Embry gave Sam the green light they all gathered in the Uley's living room
"Okay guys I have some big new for everyone." Sam began. He had to hush a few of the guys after they started yelling that Emily was pregnant. "Please shut up until I'm done guys. A guy stopped by yesterday and informed me that mine and Embry's father had passed away." everyone looked down with sad eyes but Sam continued. "He also informed the that we have a half sister. She's seventeen and I was named her next gardian. After a lot of thinking and talking to Emily we decided that we would like to go ahead and sign the papers and let her live with us."
Everyone was shocked to say the least. Although it wasn't surpising Joshua had knocked up another girl, it just made everyone wonder what wood happen with her here.
"Me and Embry will attend the funeral tomorrow, stay the night and come back Saturday with Tyler. Once she's here I want eveyone on their best behavoir. No pack talk and pelase try to wear a damn shirt. Evryone better be nice or they will have night patroles for a week striaght. Got it?" After everyone nodded Sam added one last comment. "Bonfire Saturday night to welcome her. You're dismissed."
AN- My first so be kind! This story will mostly be in Tyler's POV but I wanted to do this in third from Sam's side so y'all could get an idea of what is really going on.
