Prologue

N-IPOV

Exiting the airplane my mind was in constant turmoil I couldn't believe that I was back, I know it didn't matter that a part of me missed this place, the only reason I had returned is because I decided to grow the hell up. It wasn't just about me and my hopes and dreams it was about my son as it should have always been about but I was too stupid to realize that.

It had been 4½ years since I last visited my dad in Forks, I never much liked Forks but I loved La Push the lands called to me but when I was 9 I stopped responding it was easier to ignore the call when I never came to Washington.

"It's good to see you kiddo." Charlie said with a beaming smile.

"It's good to see you too dad."

Charlie may not have been my father by birth but he was my father in the ways that counted he loved me above all else even if he was painfully shy and who said you could inherit traits from non-biological parents?

"And who is this little guy?" He looked at me in utter confusion, I mean I can understand. How would you feel if your 14 year old daughter decided out of nowhere that she wanted to move in with you after being AWOL for damn near 5 years and was holding the hand of a little boy that had an uncanny resemblance to you? He was confused and slightly nervous but I understood it completely I did.

"This JT your grandson." I tell him looking down at the little boy I gave up everything for.

"Grandson? He looks 5."

"4 actually but he is tall for his age."

"That would mean…you were 9 or 10 when you got pregnant with him!" He shouted drawing a lot of attention towards us.

"Can we finish this conversation at home?"

He looked around noticing people were staring at us, JT was paying us no mind he was listening to the music on my MP3 player.

"Are you going to let him know that you're back and about him?" Charlie asked softly pointing at JT as we walked to the cruiser. I wonder how he could sit there and not care that one of his best friends had gotten his girlfriend pregnant.

"He'll find out by the grapevine there might be a 14 miles difference between Forks and La Push but gossip still travels."

"He asked about you a few weeks ago of course I didn't know about…what'd you call him again?" He asked putting our stuff into the trunk.

"JT it stands for Jesus Tehran."

"I don't have a car seat." Charlie said scratching the back of his neck, "But I don't have the little box you asked me to grab.

"His booster seat is in the box dad." He smiled sheepishly.

He ripped the box open and handed me the booster seat while he disposed of the box I hooked it up and sat JT in it. Then sat down beside him shutting the door behind me Charlie finally came back and got in starting the car and pulling out it wasn't a long drive but it wasn't a short one either.

"So who's the kid's dad?" Charlie asked awkwardly.

"I really rather not talk about it, we were kids and it happened I'm figuring things out as I go but please don't start badgering me about the paternity I got enough from my granddad when he was visiting."

"And yet you still named your son after him?" Charlie asked bewildered.

"He was my rock through the entire thing of course mom and Grams was there but Gramps was easier to deal with they got emotional then the hormones caused me to cry I just…it was too hard."

"Is there a reason I was left out of the loop?" Charlie asked sadly.

"I wanted to tell you I did but…"

"But what?" He asked softly.

"I was scared that if you found out I was pregnant that you'd be so disappointed that you wouldn't want me anymore, mom said it was a bunch of hooey but…he didn't want me and if he didn't want me when I was a statistic why should I burden you with that?" I asked tears popping up in my eyes.

"Because I'm your father and I love you more than anything in this world…I would never not want you Nala-Isobel, where we share biological genes or not you are my daughter in all the ways that count." He stated passionately.

"Well I know that now but then I was just a kid a scared kid at that and I didn't want to lose anyone else it was easier to me if you didn't know about Jesus just yet then I realized I was just being stupid but by then it was too late and he was already 2 and from then on out I was just scared that you'd be mad that I kept it from you for so long."

"He's a cute kid now I know you don't want me hammering you about his paternity but there are a few things I want to get off my chest alright?"

"Okay."

"One no matter what you do Nala-Isobel I love you and I will always love you and you can come to me no matter what."

"I know…now."

"Two don't feel guilty I've been dating Niya Meraz for the past 2 years but was too scared to tell you about it cause I felt that you might think I was trying to replace you."

"Why would I think that? I mean yeah you have a kid with her but I wouldn't have cared as long as you still love me."

"Of course I still love you sport…three I sold the house we have in Forks but I keep an apartment seeing as I'm the Chief of Police I have to have a place of residence in Forks."

"Where do we live?"

"In La Push near second beach…we're gonna be living with Niya, Paul, Mackenzie, Trey and the baby on the way."

"You're having another kid?" I squealed JT looked up at me confused I just smiled.

"Yeah she's 6 weeks now and we're getting married I don't know when but we're already engaged."

"Wow talk about holding back dad." We both chuckled.

"Four, La Push Tribal High was burnt down in a fire by some knuckleheaded kids from Spokane, who are now surviving 9 years in jail for arson, and they haven't even begun fixing the damages so you'll be going to Forks High."

"What about my Native American studies?"

"Forks High hired the teachers from LPT High to teach the Native kids and whoever else wants to take courses with them."

"And fifth?"

"Welcome home sweetie." He smiled looking back at me through the rear mirror.

"It's good to be home daddy."
