Wild: Well, I've had these ideas cramped in my mind forever, and now I can release it all into a story!

Aiya: Seth stories are too irresistible, so she wanted her own to entertain her imagination.

Seth smiled as he watched Jacob playing joyfully with Nessie. The little hybrid vampire child giggled and attacked Seth's new alpha, laughing and screaming as he toppled to the floor, feigning defeat in their mock battle.

But quickly, Nessie frowned, pouted, and jumped out of his arms, stomping her foot childishly. Of course, she was a child, perhaps not so much in appearance, but definitely in years. A mass of curly brownish golden hair tumbled down a slim neck on the body of a small female child half-breed.

A roar of laughter echoed through the lavishing living room as Jacob gave her a puppy dog look and held out his arms for her to play, and she refused, turning her back to him and crossing her arms. But a knowing glint was shining in her eyes even though an angry pout was gracing her lips.

Seth glanced around at the others settled in the living room of the Cullen family household. Edward Cullen sat with his wife, Bella, on the couch, watching their daughter play with Bella's best friend, lounging and finding peace in having some sense of "peace".

Carlisle and Esme Cullen were both seated on a love seat, Carlisle's arm draped around her shoulder to cuddle his mate close. Carlisle was still handsome and charming, athletic and strong, not looking his age of over 300. Esme was still beautiful and youthful, not losing any of her shine in her years beside her husband.

Alice, the Pixie as Seth liked to call her, was draped across her mate's lap, Jasper if Seth recalled correctly. They were a cute couple, and balanced each other out perfectly. Both could be deadly and snap a vamp's neck in a second, but in normal life, Alice was chattery and chipper while Jasper was silent and solemn faced.

Then there was Rosalie, or Blonde Bitch as Leah sometimes liked to call the female vampire with too much attitude for her own butt. Seth couldn't help the smirk at his own thoughts, and when he heard Edward chuckle, he looked down at his own hands embarrassed. Sometimes he felt terrible for thinking such things when he knew Edward could read minds.

Sorry Ed, Seth thought, looking at the shiny vampire, who simply nodded and winked at him, smirking before looking at his daughter with pride.

Seth looked back again at Rosalie and Emmet, the Princess and the Bear as Seth preferred to call them. Emmett was definitely a bear, but he could turn from malicious to a cuddle teddy bear at the sight of his niece.

Then there were the current members of the Black Pack: Jacob, Leah, Quil, Embry, and of course, himself. Jacob was occupied with the amused Renesmee, who giggled and twirled when Jacob complimented himself back into her good graces. Already her Aunt Alice was working her Pixie dust and creating a fashion dive within Bella's daughter.

Quil was sitting in the corner and playing a game of Black Jack with Embry, who was eager not to lose in another game. He immediately would demand a rematch if he lost, and this amused Quil greatly at the normally quit boy's determination.

Leah was sitting outside doing yoga poses, trying to calm herself. She always said she did it to get used to the leech scent whenever Seth asked. He usually just rolled his eyes. He leaned forward to look at her doing Warrior One Pose outside, breathing deeply. He smirked and shook his head, bracing his elbows on his knees.

He inhaled and stood up abruptly. Everyone looked at him, slightly startled by the sudden movement and sound. They had all been watching Nessie and Jacob. Jake, of course, looked up at the boy who idolized him but was also like a younger brother to him.

"I'm getting a pop. Anybody want anything while I'm in the kitchen?" he asked, already heading for the kitchen, which would be sparkling white when he went in, and a complete mess when he left.

"I'll take a peanut butter jelly sandwich!" Quil called.

"Make it two!"

"I want a coke!" Leah called from the doorway, not once breaking her Warrior One.

"Just some fruit for Nessie and I to share works. And a ham sandwich," Jake said, smiling gratefully at Seth. The young boy quirked up his lips and laughed, his shoulders shaking as he turned his back on them all.

"Aye aye captains," he said, making a salute over his back and entered into the kitchen to make the food. Everything was glistening white and like a polished diamond that Seth almost felt ashamed to ruin the glowing surfaces. Normally he'd be all for making a mess out of clean places, but this was the Cullen's house! He wasn't going to do something like that to his friends and their allies.

He looted inside the fridge and pulled out all the ingredients he needed to make two peanut butter jelly sandwiches, a fruit platter, ham sandwiches, and a coke. The drinks were easy enough, but since he was already making food, why not make a little extra?

"Need help for that?" a voice asked, a Seth looked up to see Edward. He grinned wide at the lanky but well built vampire with golden eyes.

"Nah, just making some extras for the guys' greedy guts. I know them; they want more than they say," he responded, opening the tubs of peanut butter and jelly, and pulling out a large package of sliced ham.

"Yeah, you shifters have humungous appetites. How does your mother feed you and not have the house run down?" Edward teased, and Seth snickered, smearing a hefty glob of peanut butter onto two pieces of bread.

"Extreme couponing. Haven't you seen hero on TV?" he joked, and got a laugh in return before the vampire stepped up beside him.

"I'll check her out on the food network later. Now then, if you can make the peanut butter sandwiches, I can make the ham," Edward said, and Seth grunted his agreement. Suddenly, a squeal echoed through the hollow walls of the house and Seth winced slightly. "Sorry for the noise."

"You get used to it after hearing a million thoughts in your head. This is nothing compared to having a screaming match inside your head," Seth admitted softly, and Edward simply grunted. Seth didn't notice the small glance Edward cast out the window as the young boy began to chatter away about the most random of things.

"So, the weather nice?"

-I-

Sam was watching the Cullen house from the cover of the woods, already in his wolf form. He gazed through the window with longing at the former members of his pack. Quil and Embry were brawling and tumbling over each other, laughing hysterically. Jacob was playing with the half-breed child, Renesmee as Sam recalled.

Leah was doing her yoga poses outside on the front porch. He watched her for a long moment, and he knew she knew he was there. He saw the long glances she cast at the shadows on the trees, suspicion filling her dark eyes.

But he hadn't come for a fight or to spy on any of them. No; he had come to watch the youngest member of the Black Pack, Seth Clearwater. Sam's ears twitched as he tried to reach for the old, withered strand of connection he had to Seth's mind. But it was too crippled and unused that he had to rely on his own ears.

He missed the chipperness and excitement the youth had brought to his pack. Before, he had been the baby in the pack and everyone's little brother. As the golden vampire, Edward, had stated, Seth had a pure, kind, and innocent mind inside his big head. He could brighten anyone's mood and was always loyal and stubborn willed in what he believed.

And now Sam missed that devoted and stubborn will inside his pack.

Granted Collin and Brady were loyal and brilliant, although young; they did not hold that same light that dwelled within Seth.

He hated to admit it, but Sam found that he endeared Seth far more than Emily, his own imprintee. Was that even possible? Could anyone in the world be more important than the one you imprinted on?

Sam let a small whine escape his throat as his ears flattened, his tail drooping. He watched Seth moving around in the kitchen, laughing joyously with the blood sucking leech that had fathered a hybrid.

But I can't do anything because of Pack and Imprint Laws, Sam thought and looked back towards the youth. And Seth would hate me for it too, if I tried killing these leeches…Seth, why did you have to leave?

"Why don't you just go see him and end all our pain, Sam?" Jared Cameron, Sam's Beta, asked as he padded up beside the black furred, massive Alpha wolf. Sam looked at the shorter, brown furred wolf that padded up beside him. Sam snorted and looked back towards the house.

"You make it sound a lot easier than it is."

"No, you just decide to make it all the more complicated, Alpha of ours," Jared snorted. "Seriously Sam, now you're acting just like Leah did. If you want to go see him, just casually walk in and say you came to visit everyone. It's not like they will start a war because of it!"

"But-…" Sam whined hesitantly, looking up at the excited movements of the young boy he watched from the window. He immediately snorted and took a step back, shaking his black head furiously. "No! No, I can see him at school or somewhere else. I can see him at Billy's or at Sue's. Yeah, I'll see them then! Now come on; we're both still on patrol!"

Jared sighed and whined irritably behind Sam as the brown wolf flew by him in a flash of fur.

"Then let's get going before Brady or Collin start to think you abandoned them for good. They've been waiting for you at La Push for the past hour and a half."

"Is that why you came?"

"Yes, because I care about the two idiots. Not to mention Emily has starting ranting to the others about how your ass is always off doing other things. I swear she's on her monthly time, Sam. Care to do something about it?"

"…Screw you…"

-I-

Edward liked hearing the young shifter boy talking a million miles per hour. There was just something comforting about it that soothed his raw nerves. He and Bella had been arguing a little ever since Renesmee began maturing faster and faster each day.

She was demanding that she learn to control her powers more, and that they should think about moving again. She wanted to live a somewhat normal life, and live in a different house, closer to Charlie.

"Something up between you and Bella?" Seth suddenly asked, and Edward nearly sliced his finger off with the knife. He froze and looked at the young pup with bewildered eyes. Seth smiled apologetically. "Sorry, you just really look conflicted. I thought I'd take a wild guess."

Then you hit a homerun, kid, Edward thought and chuckled softly, starting to slice up something fruits and vegetables. Nessie couldn't just eat fruit; she needed her veggies, even though she'd probably turn her nose up at them in the typical Rosalie fashion.

"We've kinda been arguing about moving into town," Edward sighed, rubbing the back of his neck and running his fingers through his hair. "She wants to live closer to Charlie, and try to live a little normal life rather than being out here."

"But isn't she still a newborn to you guys? Isn't it safer for her to be out here where she has a less likely chance of hurting someone?" Seth asked, and Edward about wanted to kiss the boy for being the first one to make the obvious comment. He threw up his hands in gratefulness.

"Thank you dear God! Finally, someone understands the obvious," Edward said and ruffled Seth's hair. The teen frowned and straightened his hair quickly. "And I think she wants to start sending Nessie to school, try and live like other kids her "physical" age."

Seth was silent for a few long moments, a look of contemplation on his face.

"It might be okay; but I don't know about if it's exactly the safest thing. If she is still biting Jacob when she isn't fed fast enough, I'd say she could decide to bite a kid her own age because it'd be natural for her," Seth said and sliced a piece of watermelon with a whack of the blade.

Edward nodded his agreement, arranging the fruits and veggies onto a platter before Seth picked up a second one, and another platter with the drinks on it.

"Lead the way, Batman."

"Follow me, robin," Edward countered as they both entered the living room again, everyone instantly grabbing for the food, scrambling. Well, at least the boys hurried to stuff and grab as much stuff as they could into their hands and mouths. Seth smirked and offered kindly to the Cullens the food on the plates.

Bella took a ham sandwich and bit into it, chewing slowly and swallowing delicately. She beamed at Seth and said, "thank you, Seth. This tastes fantastic."

Seth cocked his head and nodded before heading outside with Leah's coke.

"Your Cola, Your Highness," he said cheerfully, mock bowing as she dropped her tree pose to grab the chilled coke can. She chugged it down, gulping in a flurry. While she stood there drinking, Seth sniffed the air. The heavy scent of wolf lingered in the air, and his nose twitched slightly, making him sneeze. "Did Sam or Brady or Collin come for a visit?"

"Yeah, they were here a little bit ago, but left as soon as they came," Leah said blankly, setting down the can and returning to her yoga poses, going into the Tree Pose, bringing her leg up to rest comfortably on her knee/thigh.

"Why didn't they come in for a visit?" Seth asked sadly. He missed their family. He missed the times when everyone was together and having fun; no alphas or pecking order, no wars, and no drama. Where had all those days gone?

"How would I know? I'm not in their heads anymore; thank God for that!" Leah snorted, her eyebrows furrowing as she reached her hands for the sky. Seth could easily tell by the tone of her voice that she wanted him to leave her the hell alone so she could be "calm, relaxed, soothed, and serene". In other words, she was telling him to back the fuck off or die a painful death by his sister's fangs.

"Alright, alright, touchy Queen," Seth muttered and walking inside to suddenly get a piece of squishy watermelon get hurled at his face, hitting him square in the forehead. The room was silent for a long moment before they all burst into laughter. Slowly, a small food fight began.

And soon enough, the living room would be covered in food.
