Thank you to Maximus05 for my first review. Don't worry, I plan to update often this summer.

I don't own Twilight, I just like to borrow it every once in a while.


Chapter 6: Everything is right in the world again

The next morning Jacob, Seth and Leah woke up early. They were excited because Renesmee, Lucas and Annabel were joining them that night. The rest of the Cullens and some of Lucas' pack would be driving in and were set to arrive a few days later.

Not wanting to waste the day they went back down to First Beach. Brian, Kaely and the rest of the teens were already there. At the bonfire they had learned that Brian and Kaely were twins. The other teens were Embry, Sam and Quilla Thail, Caleb & Emily Uley, Jared Call and Robert & Lauren King.

After initial greetings, Jacob got right down to business. "Can I ask what you guys think of your tribe's legends?" he asked.

"I feel so bad for Jacob." Emily said. "What a great guy to give up his love so that she could be happy." She continued dreamily. The other girls agreed. Seth and Leah had a hard time not laughing while Jacob tried not to blush.

The other boys all rolled their eyes. "I think it's really cool that they are supposed to be our ancestors." Jared said. "You know, with our last names and everything."

Caleb quickly agreed. "Yea. My dad's on the counsel and he said they have our family tree mapped all the way back to Sam, who was one of the first wolves of the last wolfpack." he said proudly.

"That's pretty cool." Leah said. "Do you believe?" She asked, smiling at the boys.

"Oh come on, it's just a legend." Lauren interrupted. "There are certainly more interesting things to do than to discuss them over and over again." she added with a poorly hidden glare at Leah.

"But that's why we're here." Seth said. "If you don't want to discuss it with us I'm sure the guys will, or we can go into town and talk to some of the Elders..."

"Of course we want to help you." Kaely interrupted quickly, her glare focused on Lauren. She turned back to Seth with a bright smile, "I didn't think that my dad believed, but the way he looked last night when Mr. Thail was speaking, I don't know, it's like something happened to change his mind" she added thoughtfully.

"I know our dad believes." Quilla spoke up, her younger brother Sam agreeing with her. "Yea we're descended from another of the last wolfpack, Jared. Which is funny since Jared's family is supposed to be descended from someone named Embry." Sam laughed.

Leah jumped in quickly, not wanting their expressions to betray anything as the teens talked about their friends from so long ago. "I noticed that, the tribe really believes in using the names of their ancestors to name their children."

"Yea, a lot of people are named after our ancestors in the legends." Brian replied. "Not me, I got lucky and got an original name."

"Like Brian's really unique." Lauren said scathingly.

"Oh Lauren, stuff it or leave. I think this is all really interesting." Emily snapped. Lauren got up in a huff and walked out.

"I'm sorry about her." Robert said embarrassed.

Leah laughed. "She's a teenage girl, it's to be expected sometimes." Brian gave her a quick look. She spoke as if she were so much older than them. But college wasn't that far away for many of their group, did it really change you that much he wondered.

Jacob shot a warning look at Leah, she was not making comments in character.

"You said you know your dad's believe, but do you?" Jacob asked again deflecting interest from Leah.

They all looked thoughtful and slightly embarrassed. "I don't know." Jared finally spoke up. "It's kinda hard to believe that Werewolves and Vampires exist, especially in this day and age. But at the same time…" he trailed off. The others nodded agreement.

Deciding not to push the issue Jacob spoke up. "I can totally understand that, you can well imagine the other legends we've heard in our travels." He said.

"Yea." Seth spoke up, "The White Mountain Apache have a legend that says Men used to have really long"

"Seth! That is not a proper legend to share in mixed company." Leah interrupted him laughing. The other teens looked really intrigued and Jacob and Seth were laughing too. "Well, we've got some friends flying in to Seattle tonight, we should probably get going, it's a long drive." Leah continued.

"Do you want some company?" Both Brian and Kaely said together and then laughed.

"Sorry, but that'll make a pretty crowded car ride on the way back." Seth pointed out. Brian and Kaely had to admit to that and so they parted with a promise to get together again the next day.

At the speeds they were used to driving, Jacob, Seth and Leah quickly made it to the airport and impatiently used the time before the flight landed to grab a bite to eat. "I think a lot of the boys believe." Seth commented, continuing a discussion from the car about what had happened that morning. "And they're the ones we really have to worry about." he continued.

"Hey!" Leah practically shouted.

"Sorry Lee, but I hope for the girls sake he's right." Jacob said soothingly.

Leah sighed. "I know, I agree." she replied dejectedly. "It's just be nice to have another female mind to relate to every once in a while." she added. The boys smiled in sympathy but she knew they wouldn't agree with her on that point.

Finally the evening found them waiting outside the gate. There were big smiles all around when their mates stepped into view.

Taking Renesmee into his arms, Jacob knew that everything was all right in the world as long as she was by his side.
