A/N:

Hello folks! Thanks for reading my story. I updated two more chapters. Follow me to keep a tab on the updates.

Enjoy!

I could hear someone banging on the door continuously. I groaned and woke up to see who disturbed my sleep. When I opened the door Quil, Paul, Embry and some of my pack friends were there.

"Gooood Moooorning Alpha" they sang and laughed. Even I laughed along with them unable to resist their voices. I mock saluted. They laughed some more.

"What's up guys? It's not even 6 o'clock." I asked when my laughter subsided.

"Look outside. The weather is awesome. We thought of playing volleyball in the beach before it gets hotter." Paul replied.

Then I looked outside. The sun just rose and the sky is in reddish orange color. I could feel warm breeze on my skin. It's very pleasant indeed since we rarely have sunny days.

"Will you join us?" Quil asked.

"I won't miss it for the world."

"Where is Seth?" I asked after I came outside.

"He didn't feel like playing it seems" Quil replied.

"Oh!"

Paul came up from behind and started walking beside me. "What's Rachel doing?"

"She worked until late night. She is still sleeping."

"Hmm" Paul exclaimed.

Rachel graduated from Washington College last year. That is where she met Paul. She got job offers in Port Angeles and Forks. But she chose Forks so that she could stay in La Push and take care of us. We are really proud of her.

We jogged along the forest edge watching an unceasing wave hit the shore. The water is sparkling as the sun rays danced on it. Some birds are chirping as if to greet us. I smiled.

Embry brought the ball. I was surprised to see that the nets were already tied up.

"Did you guys plan it yesterday?"

Paul spoke up "Nope. I saw the weather report after I was finished with phasing this dawn and gathered everyone on the way."

"Since when did you start watching weather report?" I scoffed.

"I don't have an option. I have to watch whatever my dad does."

"Anyways, we are glad that you watched it. Keep us updated everyday."

Paul narrowed his eyes. "I won't get paid for being your personal reporter."

I shrieked in a high-pitch tone "Just imagine. Welcome to our news reporter Mr. Paul Lahote...Ta-da!" clapping my hands. Rest of them clapped and laughed along.

"Very funny Jacob!" Paul grinned.

I can clearly see how much Paul has changed since he imprinted on Rachel. At first I was afraid that he would lose his temper with my sister. Now, he's a totally different man. He became more soft-spoken and understanding which is unusual. I am surprised to see how much love has changed him.

I wonder what my Nessie is doing right now. She must be sleeping.

"Let's get started. Team up guys."

We played a practice match and a series in which our team won. Wrestling bout took place then. For an outsider, it would like a real one considering our heights and personalities. Cliff diving was on our agenda next. We spent some time enjoying the sun bathe. Overall, I had a great start. Finally, we raced till the forest. It could have been exhausting for a mere human. Rather I felt my metabolism boost up.

I and Quil ran in a human speed once we came out of forest. Rest of them went to their homes.

"Jacob! Tell Nessie that Claire said 'Hi'."

"Sure bro. See you!"

"Bye." Quil went to his house.

The smell of baked muffins filled my nostrils as I approached home. I walked into the kitchen to find dad filling juice in glasses and Rachel cooking scrambled eggs.

"Good Morning Bro!" Rachel greeted.

"Good Morning sis!" I greeted with a smile. "Breakfast smells yummy as always."

"Thanks." Rachel smiled. I served breakfast myself and sat beside Dad.

"Where did you go so early in the morning?" Dad asked.

I grinned. "We played volleyball and went for cliff diving."

"Sounds fun."

"Yeah! I had a refreshing time."

"Good."

"Any plans outside?" Rachel asked me while serving scrambled eggs.

"Yeah! I'll drop by Cullen's house."

"Drop me at my office then."

"Sure Sis! Should I pick you up after the work?" I asked gulping down the juice.

"No worries. Paul will pick me up." Rachel grinned.

"Sure, Sure" I smiled. Paul is working as a part time accountant in a Bank near Rachel's Office.

I ate sumptuously and thanked Rachel for delicious breakfast. I washed up our plates and went to bathe. After getting ready, I called Rachel. I dropped her at the Office in my rabbit and went to Cullen's mansion. Alice opened the door when I was about to knock on it. Vampires!

"Hello Jacob! Come inside." Alice greeted in her sweetest tone.

Nahuel sat on the couch with his eyes closed. I went inside and sat beside him. All the remaining guests are gone. Nahuel said that he would like to explore this area as he never came here before.

Nahuel opened his eyes. "Hi Jacob"

"Hey Nahuel! Meditating huh?"

"Sort of." Nahuel chuckled "Are you free today?"

"Totally free."

"Okay. I am interested to know about your tribe later...If you don't mind. "

"No problem. I'll tell you." I said courteously.

"Thank you Jacob."

"My pleasure."

I can see Esme redecorating all the flowers in the house. We greeted each other.

"I don't think you need flowers Esme. Your house already smells like a flower garden." Esme and Nahuel chuckled.

"I know. But such gestures make me feel more humane." I smiled sympathetically.

"Do you want something to eat?" She asked affectionately.

"No Thanks. I had breakfast."

"Edward, Bella and Nessie are still in cottage. They'll come in few minutes."

"Okay."

"Make yourself comfortable at home. Let me know if you need anything." Esme said picking up the old flowers on the coffee table and replacing them with pink orchids.

"Sure. Thanks." I politely smiled. Esme fled back to the garden.

Nahuel got up and looked at me "I'm going out for a hunt with Rosalie, Jasper and Alice. I'll catch up with you later Jacob."

"See you then!"

"Hey Dogie!" Rose sniggered while leaving.

"Hey Blondie!" I returned. Over these few years, our relationship has changed from deadly enemies to teasing friends. All thanks to Nessie. I felt more welcome here. I never thought that I would get to see the friendly side of Cullen's.

Emmett shouted from upstairs. "Hey Jacob! Wanna join playing this video game?" I went upstairs and sat on the bean bag picking up the console.

We played few games. Then I heard three pair of footsteps walking towards the house. I sprang up to greet them. Esme opened the door when I reached downstairs. They hugged Esme and came inside. Nessie gave a bright smile when she saw me. Her smile made my day.

"Jacob!" Nessie ran and hugged me followed by Edward and Bella.

"Shall we sit in the garden?" Nessie asked looking at us.

"Sure honey!" Bella patted her shoulders.

We sat in the lawn. Rest of the family came back from hunting and joined us. Emmett joined Rose. Nahuel settled down beside me. Nessie hugged her aunt's and uncle's. Esme brought some chocolates for Nessie which are one of Nessie's favourite human food.

"Hi Grandma!" Nessie hugged Esme.

"Hi Sweetheart!" Esme smiled and hugged back.

"Did Grandpa go to hospital already?"

"Yes sweetie. He had to attend an emergency case." They both sat down.

All of them seem to be enjoying the sun in their secluded home. They sparkled gloriously.

"Wow! We are sparkling." Nessie exclaimed noticing the same. Everyone looked at her and smiled. After sometime everyone went back to their daily routine leaving Edward, Bella, Nessie, me and Nahuel behind.

Then Bella told Nessie about the first time she saw Edward sparkling. Edward said some more stories. I observed Nahuel watching their gestures adoringly.

Around afternoon, Edward and Bella excused themselves to prepare Lunch. Nahuel taught Nessie how to play Brazilian Checkers. Bella called us for Lunch after sometime. We went inside.

"What did you do today Jake?" Nessie asked once we sat at the dining table. I reiterated the whole story. She listened keenly. "By the way, Claire told to say 'Hi'."

"Oh...I want to play with her. Daddy, can I go and play with her today?"

"Sure honey! But finish up your lunch first."

"Thank you daddy!" Nessie beamed.

"Jake, will you take me to her house." Nessie asked with puppy eyes.

"Of course!" I smiled.

I turned towards Nahuel "You can also come with us. I'll introduce my Dad. He can explain about our tribe very well."

"Sure!" Nahuel replied.
