A/N: Hey guys, if you're still here. It's the one year anniversary of KINTNC and I wanted to write the epilogue to the story. I hope you like it and tell me what you think of it. I'm so happy that this story is one year old and started off as a one-shot.

Thanks for the support of this fic! ;D

Life on the road has been the best thing that has happened to me in a long time. Seeing different sights and building a better me inside and out. Even though I was set on worrying about leaving, but I was so glad that I did.

Ever since we actually made up our minds about where we wanted to go, we settled on moving to sunny California and see where it takes us.

Jacob was even more great to me than I could ever imagine. He's been so sweet and caring towards me, helping me adjust to life on the move. He probably doesn't want to admit it, but I knew he was trying to adjust too. He kept in touch with Billy as much as possible. It was good for him to do that. For me I couldn't even think about talking to my mom, right now. I still don't

Now it's been four years and we're still in California finishing up with college. Yes, College. Who would've thought that Leah Freaking Clearwater, would do such a thing. Still when you're on the road with unlimited opportunities, college would be one of them and boy did I enjoy it.

I was earning my bachelor's in Psychology. Shocking I know... But I can take what I've learned and help others and that's the best way for me as an career. Jacob on the other hand, took what's been his passion for years and earning an bachelor's in Auto Engineering and minor Business.

He's so smart and he's got hopes in trying to someday own his own shop. I don't put anything past Jacob, he can do anything that he puts his mind too. In couple of minutes we're going to walk that stage and earn them and I was feeling very giddy and so was Jacob apparently since he was stealing kisses very five minutes.

In the past few years our relationship has gotten but better with age, if we could only do that. Still throughout this journey, it brought us closer mentally and physically. I know more about him now than I did back then. The sex has gotten much more intense, not that it wasn't before. But, damn... sex with Jacob is an midsummer's night dream every time.

When we earned our degrees we retreated to celebrate by showing our love for one another that we both had no problem fulfilling. After alot of touching, licking, kissing, and embracing one another Jacob told me something that dropped my happy mood in a second. He wanted to go back home.

Who was I stop him and make a fuss out of it. He's been so sweet to leave his father for me. I couldn't try and even bring myself to talk him out of it. Sooner or later I was going to have to face my side of life back in La Push.

The long drive back home was very much full of silence and anticipation of what I was going to run into. Whelther my mom has gotten over my relationship with Jacob or facing Sam after what he tried to do to me, and Seth did he ever really forgive me.

I could tell that Seth still was on the up about Jacob's and I relationship, but it's been some years and we're still going strong. Seth always sounded so hesitant on the phone, so maybe once I see him it could melt the ice once and for all.

Once we got there, Jacob and I went our separate ways. He went to visit his father right before Jacob dropped me off at my old house. Jacob offered to come with me for support, but I needed to do this on my own, besides he had to see his Billy and I wasn't going to hold him back.

Now, as I stand in the front door of the place I once called home. I wanted nothing more than to turn on my heels and run. Just keep on running, but running away is what I've been doing for far to long and now it's time to face them.

I knocked on the door and just stood there awaiting what's to come with an stone face. The door opened to reveal Charlie Swan holding a beer bottle in his hands. It quickly dropped once he saw that it was me.

"L...Leah..." I smiled softly and nodded. I didn't know how nervous I was until I saw an familiar face. He pulled me tight against him for a hug that I gladly returned who would've thought that Charlie Swan would still be constantly hanging out with my mom.

"Sweetheart, we've thought we'll never see you again." He placed his hand on my cheek and looked at me more. "You have a more of a glow more now than ever." I smiled and it quickly dropped once I saw who was walking up the door next. My mom

As soon as she saw me her face changed from wondering who was at the door to complete shock. Her mouth opened and then her face became filled with tears and I didn't even notice I was tearing up to until I felt wetness on my cheek.

She pulled into a hug and repeatedly said she's so sorry for pushing me away and that she had to deal with the guilt of driving me away. I held onto my mom tight too, I didn't know how much I missed her until I got a chance to hold my mom and to see she's here.

"Baby...Oh I thought I'll never see you again. I thought I drove you away forever." She sniffed and put her hands on each side of my cheek. She looked at me deeply before launching at me for another hug. It was like having my old mom back.

She practically dragged me into the house and then I saw Seth and that really made me breakdown and cry. Seth didn't cry, but he sure as hell was happy to see. He pulled me in for a big time bear hug and lifted me off my feet.

"Good seeing you, Sis!" I broke down even harder to see that light shine back into Seth. I had my bubbly brother back and it feels damn good. It was better than I thought coming home to a nice reunion in four years. I got caught up with my mom and Charlie about everything from graduating college to looking for a job. My mom was shocked to know that I graduated and didn't even know about it, but she blamed it all on herself.

"Leah, I'm so sorry for all the things I've put you through. From believing that bastard Sam over my own daughter. It just made me sick and I had to live with it for the rest of my life." I nodded and told her I forgave her.

"I'm so sorry about Jacob too. I can see now that I was terribly wrong and am glad to see you two still together." I just looked at her and nodded. "I mean it Lee. I would like to apologize to Jacob as soon as I can. I apologized to Billy, but it took him a while to come around.

"Jacob's over Billy's right now. You could tell him once he comes by to pick me up." She nodded and apologized again.

So far my mom and I are on good terms again. I know now for a fact that Seth and I were okay and that he's been over the anger phase right after Sam. Speaking of Sam, he was ran out of La Push as soon as Seth talked some sense into the rest of the pack. They all fought against him, which is crazy because you can't look past an alpha command.

It was around 5 p.m. when Jacob came back to get me, but not before my mom said her sorry to Jacob. Jacob who was never mad at my mom as I thought he should've been. Told her not to worry about it and he was never mad at her and understood where she was coming from.

"I can't believe I doubted you, Jacob." She pulled Jacob in for a hug. " You're obviously the right one for Leah and you treat her good. I haven't seen her look this good in a long time. Even though it was hard for me to accept your relationship, even then I saw how happy, but was too stubborn to believe it."

"Well it's true mom. I love him..."

"And I love her too." Jacob cut me off and gave me a gentle peck on my lips. I smiled and walked back over to my mom and hugged her.

"I'll be back to visit as soon as I can." I told my mom that California was still my home and I wanted to stay there with Jake and she understood and wished us the best and made sure that we came back soon for her and Charlie's wedding. Now that was a surprise.

We said our goodbyes and headed back on the road to California. Jacob and I had no idea what's going to come next, but I do know for a fact that Jacob and I are partners in crime and whatever we face we'll be together and not trapped in the closet.
