Chapter 10: The Truth Shall Set You...
(HPoV)
As Ness and I were making small talk I kept watching my parents. I still couldn't believe that Bella was my mom. But Ness and I both had Grandpa Charlie's eyes. And Bella was his daughter. I feel like I'm missing a key factor here. When Mom and dad turn and come to me I smile at them.
"Should I tell her or you?" Dad asked. Mom smiled and nodded towards him.
"Go ahead" she smiled at me pulling Ness aside. I look at dad waiting for an explanation.
"Hales you're going to come with me to La Push. We're having a bonfire and it will explain your heritage. You'll also get to meet some family and close family friends." Dad explained. I look at him. I must have a strange look on my face because Nessie laughs and says in a sing song voice,
"I'm coming with you my dear older sister. You'll get to meet Jake and all the guys." I laugh and smile. "It's nice to finally feel like I'm a part of a family. But I am worried over where I'll stay since you two aren't together...?" I look to my parents to see if they had talked about it. Mom looked like she was contemplating and then said "I'll talk to our family lawyer and get joint custody?" She looked at dad and he nodded in agreement.
"So when we going to this 'La Push' place Dad? I ask smiling putting my arm in the crook of Nessie's arm. She smiles and looks at Dad and mom.
"Can I call Jake? He can come get us Paul?" Ness asked. Dad nodded and she asked Grandpa Charlie if she could use his phone. And of course she could. Mom and dad are talking about the living situation and I'm apparently staying with Rachel and Dad tonight. I've never really given any thought to what my heritage. I turn to Sue and ask her what La Push is like.
"The beach is really beautiful. It's a very tight knit group. Oh! You'll meet my two kids Leah and Seth. You gotta watch the boys though at the bonfire. They will try to steal your food. But listen very closely to the stories tonight Haley they're very important. The most important thing is to have fun and get to know your new family." Sue said giving me a hug and smiling. I laugh as I hear Ness yell something as she runs out the door. I follow her outside and a guy about the size of my dad stepping out a an old Rabbit Volkswagen. He looked like Dad except his eyes were lighter. I also noticed a tattoo on his left arm. Bella and Ness both gave him a hug and he turned to me smiling.
"I'm Haley you must be Jacob" I say extending my hand. He laughs a barky kind of laugh and pulls me into a hug.
"You're family now Kiddo!" He said as he was squeezing my bones. It took me a minute to realize that since my dad married his sister so that makes him like my uncle or something like that. I hug mom and have her program her number into my phone so that I can text her tomorrow when Ness and I go to what Ness calls "The Big House". Grandpa Charlie, Sue, and Mom all wave as Dad, Jake, Nessie and I get into the car. At first I didn't think that we would all fit because of Jake and Dad. But we somehow managed and it was a comfortable fit. I could barely contain my excitement as we start to head our way to La Push.
