Author's Note: Hello all! This is the very first time I've ever written a story. Like ever! I absolutely love the Twilight world! Ive read too many Twilight fanfics to count and decided it's time I take a crack at it. Always open to suggestions and comments, but I do already have strong vision on where this story is headed. I'm torn between wanting to set up a detailed story and wanting to jump right into the drama. Either way I hope you can enjoy this for I am enjoying the writting process.

*I do not own Twilight*

Chapter 2: Looking back part 2

Jacob's POV:

After the water battle was over and everyone was soking wet, Esme decided it was diner time; for those who ate food anyway. I walk over to Ness offering her a towel.

"Thanks Jake." she grabbed the towel from my hand and started drying off the best she could with wet clothes on.

"You really did a number on Emmett there, kiddo. I dont think he will be challenging you anytime soon." I chuckled

"Yea well he had it coming! He thinks just cuz he's the biggest, he will always win. Not on my watch. There's a new sheriff in town." She then imitated a cowboy walk twords the house.

Shaking my head as I watch her walk away, I think back to the days she was smaller. They weren't long ago considering she's not even two years old yet, but they do seem far away as I'm now looking at an eight year old... or maybe seven? I'm not great at guessing kid ages. All I know is shes growing extremely fast.

It turly has been a pleasure getting to watch her grow. I never really thought I'd actually imprint. Let alone on a baby. Especially on my best friend's daughter... but hey what can ya do? It wasn't my choice, but boy am I glad I did. I never would have thought I could be this happy... and with freaking vampires!? Wow how the times have changed.

So yea, things have been pretty weird since the Vultori left. Don't get me wrong they've been perfectly blissful and all that, but still weird. Let's see, where to start...

Seth and I have become family to the Cullens since we spend almost everyday here. It's definitely something we did not expect. Of course I will always be where my Nessie is, so I visit often. By visit I mean only leaving for patrol and to occasionally check on my dad or do other alpha/cheif related duties. Otherwise, I'm pretty much here most of the time. I even have a room I share with Seth in the main house. Weird, I know. It was really difficult for everyone to get used to the offensive smells of eachother, but I think almost facing death together has really bonded us.

I kinda felt bad at first knowing that this will be Bella and Edward's only shot at parenthood and here I am hogging all their daughter's time, but they assured me that I am welcome here, even without the connection I have to Ness. Honestly, I can't even picture life without being imprinted to her anymore. She's so amazing.

The reason I now have cheif duties is because I am being prepped for the Alpha role in the pack. Sam and I sat down about one year ago and discussed merging the packs back together. He then asked me (told me) it was time for me to be the official alpha. With my dad getting older, I will eventually be the cheif as well. We haven't actually merged the packs yet, so our wolf telepathy is still limited to our own packs and not the whole crew.

That is probably the weirdest part for me. I do not want to be cheif. At least not right now anyway. I want to spend my days with my angle. I do not want to be alpha of a big pack. I like my small pack how it is; just me, Seth, Leah, Quil, and Embry. Sam plans on settling down from the wolf stuff so he can start a family with Emily. I don't blame him. Being a wolf is no easy job. It's dangerous and time consuming. It is soley because of his excitement to become a father that I've agreed to take on such responsibility. We've decided to work together as co-alphas for the time being so I can get used to the role and because Sam's not ready to give up his wolf just yet.

Speaking of Leah, that's another... odd situation. She just up and left us after finding out her mom is going to be living with Charlie and getting married, making her officially family with a vampire. She phased and took off. Either myself or Seth would occasionally check in on her while we're phased. She would just yell at us to stay out of her head but that didn't stop us from seeing where she was and feeling her emotions. Wolf telepathy... yay.

As far as I could tell, she ran up to Canada, then back south into Minnesota. Why there? who the hell knows. I sure wasn't going to ask her either. I did catch glimpses of her lurking in the woods, trying to secretly catch the eye of any male who was close enough to the thick foliage. If I had to guess, that was her desperate attempt to imprint. Eventually she gave up, calmed down, and ran back. That was eight months ago. We don't really talk about it. It's kind of a taboo subject, but when she returned we accepted her with open arms, happy to have our sister back. I for one was happy to have my beta back. She's really great at bossing people around... not that I'm not, I just dont enjoy it the way she does.

As acting co-alpha, I've decided to implicate regular patrols around the res and the Cullen property. After those red eyed leaches left, we were all worried they might return. Alice can see the future and all but there are ways around her gift. After realizing Seth and I would be here so much, I called off patrols for the Cullen property and doubled down the patrols on the res. With Eight vampires and two wolves running around here, we've got it covered.

Though things are quiet and calm, I want us to stay on our toes. We've gotten popular with Nessie's little coming out party two winters ago. With the Vultori here and all those witnesses, word of the magical hybrid child spread. The fact that she is "gaurded" by eight vamps (her family) and a number of wolves makes her even more of a rarity.

Apparently it isn't normal for so many vamps to live together and especially not normal for them to be a "family". That alone draws attention. Adding the shock that warewolves actually exists, and our massive size, we've really made a name for ourselves. I know we're not ACTUALLY warewolves. We are shapeshifters, but to the leaches, it's all the same.

So yea, we've bumped into some strange characters since then. So far they've been friendly. By friendly I mean not trying to eat us. Nomadic bloodsuckers aren't really the friendly type.

When they showed up around Cullen territory, Carlisle greeted them warmly and invited them inside to share their story. With Edward reading their minds, creepy Jasper altering their emotions, and of course Alice "seeing" their decisions, there's not much danger to the visits. Adding Bella's sheild and Emmetts size, we're a force to be reckoned with.

When they've showed up on our territory, well... that's a whole other story. My wolves have the order to kill any red-eyed bloodsuckers on sight. Sam's pack has the same order. Being cool with vamps is fun and all, but it's still our job to protect our people. It's a good thing though- being able to kill vampires. It's our natural instinct and being all buddy-buddy with them feels like an itch you can't scratch. At least that's how most of the wolves from Sam's pack feels. My pack been getting spoiled by Esme so they've come around.

"Heelloooooo! Earth to Jake!" Nessie sings, trying to get my attention.

"Huh?" Dang how long have I been standing here?

"We're literally the only ones going to eat, well us and Seth, but hes already at the table so chop chop... Unless you're not hungry?" she smirked at me.

"The dog not hungry? Ha! That'll be the day" Laughed Rosalie.

"Can it blondie, I'm coming. Sheesh." Seriously though, what is with her? Even though were all cool with eachother, she still gets under my skin.

"Renesmee honey, you need to change into dry clothes before you eat. Come on, I'll help you." Bella holds a hand out for her daughter to take.

"Ugh! Mom! I am not a baby! When will you guys learn? You'd think with vampire brains you'd be able to remember that." Ness complained.

"Well being that you are not two years old, you are most definitely my baby." Bella pecks her on the forehead. "Now come along." I watch as Nessie is dragged into the house and up the stairs.

"Jacob, you could really use some dry clothes yourself. The water really brought out that dog smell dude." Joked Emmett.

"He's not joking, you smell terrible." Edward chimed in.

"Oh like you guys smell so good. Whatever, I could use a shower anyway." I rolled my eyes and proceeded to the bathroom.

So I guess things aren't as perfect as it seems. I don't care though. As long as I get to be with Ness everyday, I'll happily take the jabs they throw at me. Nothing can keep me from her. Not even eight crazy vampires.
