Edward's POV
I cannot believe how my life has changed in the last year alone. I went from a sad and depressed widower to a happy and cheerful man in a relationship with the love of his life. I have an amazing daughter that is full of life and loves Jacob as much as she loves me. Plus, I also have the added bonus of having a wonderful family that I would do anything for because I know they would do anything for me. My life is just amazing and I can only think of one way to make it better and that would be...
J: Ed, what are you doing up here alone?
E: I was just thinking.
J: On the roof?
E: Yes, this is where I come to clear my head, to think or to simply just relax.
J: So what were you thinking about then?
E: Everything. I am just amazed at how much my life has changed in the last year. It is just mind blowing.
J: Well thank you, I seem to have that effect on people.
E: Oh please.
J: I know, now let's go down because Carlisle was looking for you.
E: Really... I did not hear anything.
J: How could you, you were busy dreaming about me. (He said smugly)
E: Thinking about life actually.
J: Whatever, now give me a kiss so that we can go down.
E: So demanding. (He said leaning in to give Jacob a quick peck that soon developed into more)
P: Yo freaks! Get down here! (He shouted from the ground)
E: We are on our way Paul!
P: Get down or I'm throwing stones.
J: Paul just...
He never got to finish his sentence because Edward grabbed him and ran down with vampire speed.
J: I'll never get use to that.
E: He was going to throw stones, I could not risk it.
J: Says the guy that's virtually indestructible
E: But you are not, I have to protect you.
J: It's not like I'm some damsel in distress.
E: You sort of were, Jake.
J: Can we just go already?
E: Your wish is my command, dear.
J: Just walk. (He grumbled as both Edward and Paul were jittery with laughter)
...
C: Finally.
E: Sorry my mind was occupied and I did not hear you calling.
A: By Jacob, I presume?
E: Jacob said that you were calling for me, Carlisle?
C: ... How far are you with finding Carly a placement for first grade?
Es: She turns seven before the school's open for the year so she's eligible for first grade.
E: I know. I have done a bit of research into a couple of school's nearby and...
J: By that he means stalking them and reading their minds.
E: My daughter's well-being is very important mister.
J: I know, just teasing.
A: So what have you decided on?
E: We've picked one and we're taking her for registration tomorrow.
R: Do you think that you will be able to handle her going to school?
E: Of course I will, why would I not be?
R: Just asking, baby brother.
E: Still older than you.
R: Mm-hm?
P: As sweet as this is, Jake and I need to get to work.
J: Yeah, I almost forgot.
P: Too busy making kissy faces on the roof.
J: Maybe. See you later, okay.
E: Of course, I will bring Carly alone.
J: Her grandpapa will be glad to see her.
E: Goodbye, love.
J: Bye. (He says giving Edward a quick peck)
...
Paul and Jacob undressed behind the trees before phasing and running off to the Reservation.
Jacob's POV
A couple of months ago the guys and I decided to do something to create extra revenue for the Reservation and we thought it would be best if it involved something we were all interested in. Surprise, surprise we chose cars. We built a car garage on the edge of the Reservation close to the highway where most of us would work. After the initial start-up we saw that the garage was doing quite well and decided to donate a third of the monthly income to the development of the Reservation and its resources and so far it was going well. Edward and I have also been growing a lot closer and that has been amazing and having Carly is my life is just an added bonus.
P: Yo dream boat, stop the trip down memory lane. The first part was fine but I don't want to see where it's heading.
J: Hey, I'm happy.
P: I know and I'm happy for you but I don't want details that are going to scar me for life.
J: We haven't done anything that would scar you for life.
P: You mean you haven't... but it's been almost six months.
J: Edward is different and you know... old.
P: So he doesn't work or what?
J: You're gross, Paul and that's not what I mean. He's traditional and it's one of the things that i love about him.
P: Wait, love? Does Edward know that?
J: Not yet.
P: When will you then?
J: I don't know, that's why I don't think about it when I'm around Edward and I need you to the same.
P: I will but you should tell him soon before Mr Wolf over her takes over.
...
The guys got to the garage where they were immediately set to work so that Quil and Jared could go home by a grumbling Sam.
J: Sam, what's wrong?
S: Have I told you how much I hate admin. No one tells you that when you have your own business that it comes with a ton of admin and I can't ask either of you because you're terrible at it and Paul just refuses to do it.
P: What can I say, I'm better with cars than I am with paper.
S: So am I, Paul. So am I. (He grumbled walking back into the office)
J: You need to stop teasing him and at least give admin a go.
P: The possibility of either one of those things happening is zero, Jacob.
...
A couple of hours later, Edward arrived at the garage with Carly in tow a couple of minutes after Jacob left to go test drive a car.
Ca: Uncle Pauly, Sethie! (She shouted running over and giving them both hugs)
P: Hi, little girl.
Se: Hey princess, how are you?
Ca: I'm fine. Where are Jacob and Uncle Sam?
Se: Uncle Sam is in his office and Jake took a car for a test drive.
Ca: Can I go to Uncle Sam, daddy?
E: Sure go ahead.
P: Yeah, maybe you can go cheer him up.
Ca: Okay. (She says running off to the office in the back)
...
E: So, it looks like you guys have something on your minds.
P: Yes, we've been waiting to get you on your own for a while now.
E: Why?
P: Jake and I are very close but I'm not going to claim that I'm his best friend or anything...
Se: Because I'm his best friend and I care about him.
P: So do I and that's why we wanted to talk to you.
Se: We wanna make sure that you won't hurt Jake because he means the world to us.
P: And if you hurt him you'll have to answer to not only the two of us but also the rest of the pack.
E: Believe me, I know and I do not plan on hurting Jacob. He is also very important to me and I would not dream of hurting him in any way. I am pretty sure that everyone in my family including Carly would disown me if I were to deliberately hurt Jacob. You have nothing to worry about.
P: I know but we'll always have his back.
E: And for that I will always be grateful. You guys are an amazing family and I would not want my daughter growing up around anything different.
S: You guys are all family now too.
E: Thanks Seth.
Just then they heard the grumbling of a car before it stopped and Jacob appeared at the door.
J: As good as new, that one.
P: I'll call the owner. (He said walking off)
J: Hi. (He smiled, leaning in to give Edward a kiss) I smell a little Lady in here, where is she!
Ca: I'm right here. (She said coming out with Sam right behind her)
Carly ran over to jump into Jacob's arms while Sam went over and greeted Edward.
J: I'm okay to go home now, right?
S: IS that car that you were working one fixed?
J: Yep, all done. Paul's calling the owner right now to come and pick it up.
S: Okay, then you can go.
J: Thanks. Let's go see grandpapa Billy.
Ca: Yay!
J: Bye Seth, Sam.
Se: See you in a little bit dude.
J: Yeah. (He said giving Seth a hug before turning around to leave)
S: Remember you're opening up tomorrow morning. Emily and I have somewhere to be.
J: I'll remember, don't worry. Enjoy
...
E: Where is he going?
J: Em's parents are coming to the Rez for the first time since the wedding.
E: Oh, that is big.
...
-Black House-
B: My granddaughter is finally here.
J: Your only one, dad.
B: ... Mm-hm, if you say so.
Ca: I missed you grandpapa.
B: Missed you too, baby girl.
