Chapter 54

8 years later

"I'm coming Mom!"

"Hurry up Jase, Alice is going to hurt us if we're late!" I yelled holding the door of our cabin open as Jase ran out in shorts and no shoes. There was a t-shirt tied to his ankle by a small but flexible string. "Don't worry, I got your stuff!" I yelled as he ran into the woods. Seconds later a large russet colored wolf trotted up and barked. I hoped on its back and he took off running. "Now Jase, your dad is going to meet us there. He is not going to go with us but he is going to be there. You know the drill, I am your sister and neither of us knows Jake. The rest of the family is coming too so I want you-"

Mom, I get it! We've been over this 100 times! The wolf, Jase said in thought to me.

I smiled. "Okay, Okay! Sorry! You know this is my first time as well…"

I know mom…Why didn't we take the car again? I'm still getting used to all this wolf stuff…

I smiled. "We didn't take the car because my mom said so. We're riding home with them…"

That's right…Is she going to be there? He asked excitedly picking up his pace.

I smiled wider. "Sure is… Now hurry up kiddo!"

Within minutes we were outside the boundaries of the place we were meeting everyone. I hoped off Jase's back and walked to the edge of the forest, waiting on him to phase back.

"Okay, I'm good, where's my bag?" I handed him his bag and we both set off to meet with the rest of our family.

"Nessie, Jase! Finally you made it! What took so long?" Jacob asked as he jogged up to us and picked me up and twirled me in the air before kissing me.

I giggled. "Jase took 30 minutes in the shower this morning and then took 15 more minutes to eat." I said laughing and kissing my husband again before we where we couldn't act like the married couple we really were.

"Just because I like my hygiene and I like breakfast doesn't mean anything." Jase said as he put on his shoes.

We laughed as Jacob set me back on my feet and gave Jase a side hug. "It's okay Jase, you and I both know who you did that for…" Jacob whispered in Jase's ear although I could hear it. Jase's cheeks flushed a deep red.

"Dad..." He warned.

Jacob laughed. "It's okay son…" He said with a wink and a smile.

We continued walking until we met up with the rest of my family. "Finally!" Alice said throwing up her hands and grabbing Jase's wrists and mine and towing us to the trunk of her's and Jasper's car. She started working on my hair and makeup while Rosalie fixed Jase's ruffled black hair. He wasn't as tall as Jacob was but was still taller than I at 5'7 was. He was 5'll with black hair that was cut into a flattop but had grown out on the top. His eyes were still the same brown as mine and my mother's before she was changed into a vampire.

"Mom, quit studying me!" Jase growled.

"Sorry! I'm just getting ready to hear all the reactions from the people…" I said smiling.

"Done." Alice and Rosalie announced simultaneously.

"Where is everyone else?" I asked looking around to see that only Alice and Rosalie were here.

"They'll be here right about… Now!" I looked up to see the car skid to a halt in a parking spot.

"Seth, Katelyn, what have you taught that girl? She can not drive!" Emmett complained as he got out of the car followed by Jasper, Seth, and Katelyn. From the car beside it, my parents emerged and gave me a huge hug each. Then out of the driver's seat emerged a petite girl with light brown hair that was to her shoulders and grey eyes with a hint of brown on the edges. She smiled and danced up to us.

"Emmett, I don't drive that bad!" She said smiling and laughing.

"Lucie Kade Clearwater, how long has it been since I last saw you?" I exclaimed hugging the girl.

She laughed again but hugged me all the same. "Aunt Nessie, it's only been a day!" She tended to call me aunt although I wasn't really… Since Rachel had died 8 years ago, I pretty much became the sister Katelyn deserved.

I laughed with her. Just like with Jase, it was contagious. "Ah that's right… I'm getting too old for you all…" I said jokingly with a wink at her and Jase.

Uncle Emmett let out a booming laugh at my statement also making the rest of my vampiric family laugh.

Lucie, Seth and Katelyn's daughter skipped out of my arms and into Jase's. You could say they were imprints but being only half werewolf it wasn't as strong… They were just meant to be…

"So is everyone ready?" My dad asked as he held hands with my mom.

"Yep!" The rest of our group chimed in.

"Well, let's go to class then!" We all started walking towards the building from the back of the parking lot. Jacob and Seth were walking ahead because they had to get there early. They were the Auto shop teachers. Katelyn and I hung back from the group looking at our laughing children flirt and play around.

A new school, a new town, one big happy family.
