A/N: You guys are so sweet! Your reviews were by far the best Christmas present I have ever gotten! You guys seemed kind of shocked and angry that Joshua showed up. But don't worry dear Tiffany won't give up her heart so easily this time. Besides, we need Allison to see him too, don't we? Enjoy you guys!

Disclaimer: Hasn't been mine for the three years I've been writing like this, never will be.

TPOV: I could hardly breathe as we stood there staring at each other in the doorway. He was just as handsome as I remember him to be. My son had his eyes. "Tiffany sweetheart," he whispered as a smile broke out across his face. "It's been seventeen years. I missed you so much." He opened his arms, as if expecting me to run into them and hold him as I used to.

A part of me (a very large part), wanted to do just that. But he did leave. He left me to care for our son alone, unable to afford the absolute best for him like I should have been able to. So instead I let anger fill me and I pushed him back a few feet.

"What do you think you're doing here, Joshua?" I hissed vehemently trying to keep my voice down, remembering my- our- son was asleep just upstairs.

Joshua looked genuinely anguished at my anger. "Tiff," he pleaded. "Please let me explain everything. There's a reason why I left. Didn't you find my letter to you?"

I rolled my eyes. "Of course I found it. Allison found hers too. But did you ever consider telling me you were married."

He sighed. "The only reason I never chose to was because I thought my marriage was over. Didn't she tell you that?"

Nodding, I whispered, "She said she loved you anyway. And she said she knew about us."

He looked taken aback. "I loved her too, very much. I just didn't see any hope left. We were going to get a divorce."

"She filled out all the papers herself a year after you disappeared."

"I figured as much," Joshua sighed. "May I please come in? We need to talk."

This time my voice didn't sound at all like my own. "Of course," I squeaked as I stepped out of the way of the door.

He chuckled softly. "You sound just like you did the day we met," he kissed my cheek. "It's just as cute now." He leaned down to kiss my cheek and I flinched.

Josh stepped into the living room and looked around before sitting on the recliner. "This house is beautiful. What brought you to La Push anyway?"

"I wanted Embry to grow up learning the legends his father did," I whispered.

At the mention of Embry he sat up straight. "He… he has to be sixteen now, isn't he?" Joshua whispered brokenly.

I just sat silently and nodded. He put his head in his hands. "I've missed so much," his voice broke and I realized he was crying. "I didn't get to see a single sonogram, see him walk or hear his first words, teach him to ride a bike or even drive. And it's all my fault. I blew that shot with both my sons. Poor Sam. He probably thinks I abandoned him. He has to be about twenty now."

As angry as I was at him for just showing up here, I went over and wrapped him in a soft hug. "It's alright. Sam understands now, and Embry too. He phased today."

Joshua shot up like a bullet. "Really? Is he alright?"

I nodded. "Sam helped him, he's the alpha of the pack."

"But," he sputtered. "If Billy Black has a son shouldn't he be the rightful alpha?"

"Jacob doesn't like the idea, so he let Sam keep the position."

"That's understandable. The legends always glorified the job. But it has to be harder than it seems."

"Yes," I agreed. "Sam seems to take it in stride quite well, though."

"Do he and Embry understand that I always loved the two of them? And Allison and yourself."

I nodded. "Well, they do now. Embry just found out you were his father today. Sam always thought… well he thought you just didn't want the pressure of a family."

Joshua looked hurt. "How come you never told our son who I was?"

All of a sudden I felt ashamed. I had never meant to keep it in this long, as if I wasn't fond of our relationship. "It was just… too painful for me to talk about. I loved you very much, and you'd just up and left me. I couldn't explain that to him. I couldn't make myself seem too weak, I didn't want him to pity me or himself, and I didn't want to make you seem like a monster."

He sighed sadly. "This is why I came back," he knelt in front of me and took my hands. "I knew that I should've stayed. I was just terrified that if I were to stick around, my sons would face a greater risk of becoming what they are and facing the impossible. I can see now that it wouldn't have affected them too much. And I also came," he took a deep breath. "To apologize to Allison for being an awful husband when we were married, in hopes that we could develop a healthy friendship. And I came to tell you how much I still love you very much, that I'm sorry for running when I should have been here for you and Embry. I came to say that I'm ready to be a loyal husband, and devoted father to you and him if you'll have me, Tiffany."

I could feel the tears slowly start to form in my eyes. My heart was screaming at me to give him a chance, because I knew by the look in his eyes that he was sincere. My mind however, was telling me not to be an idiot again; in the end he would only re-break my heart and leave Embry wondering why his father had abandoned him a second time. I wasn't at all sure what I should do, so instead of answering I just kissed his forehead and whispered, "I'll think about it, alright?"

His entire body relaxed, as if he had expected me to kick him out and lock all the doors and windows. "That's all I can ask of you right now," he kissed my hand softly. "Thank you."

Glancing at the clock, I noticed that now it was almost seven o'clock in the morning. Embry would be up soon and the rest of the pack had said they'd be coming by around eight. I noticed Joshua was still gazing at me and I ducked my head, red in the face. "Um," I whispered. "Embry will be up soon. And Sam said he'd be by with the rest of the pack in an hour. Would you like to help me fix breakfast?"

His shock was clear on his face at hearing he would be seeing his first son for the first time in so many years, and meeting his second for the first time ever in the same day. "O-of course," He said nodding quickly. "I would love to help." I smiled and with that I led him toward the kitchen.

EPOV: I woke up alone in my room today as Quil had went back to his house to talk to his mom and grandpa about what had happened yesterday.

I was a werewolf. A real werewolf. Freaky, I couldn't believe it.

My phone buzzing broke me out of my thoughts. A text from Bella saying she missed me already this morning and that she would come over after school today. I could feel the goofy smile even before it crept onto my face. She was the best thing that ever happened to me, honestly. And now she was my imprint!

I quickly replied that I missed her and loved her too and that I would see her as soon as she got here.

My stomach growled loudly. What I expected was one of the many disadvantages of being a wolf. My appetite wouldn't fade at all.

With a groan I heaved myself out of bed and made my way down the stairs. I heard laughter coming from the kitchen. A man and a woman's. Does my mom have someone over?

"Mom?" I said as I rounded the corner to see a tall black haired, tan man smearing flour onto my mother's nose.

They both jumped, startled at my arrival. "Oh, uh… good morning, honey. There's someone here I want you to meet."

"He's so grown up," the man said in awe. "I can't believe I've missed everything."

The only thought going through my mind as my mother touched his shoulder reassuringly was, who in the name of Taha Aki is this guy?

"Embry sweetheart… this is your dad. Joshua Uley."

All of a sudden blood was pounding in my ears and I was seeing spots. I heard mom call my name but I couldn't answer. When did he show up? Did she just forgive him and now I'm supposed to pretend he's actually been in my life for sixteen years? Too much. Not now. I can't handle this now. Does Sam know?

Sam… Sam. I've got to tell Sam. I turned my back on my mom and (dare I say it?) dad and practically nose dove for the phone.

Sam picked up on the third ring. "Hello?" his way too deep voice answered calmly.

"It's me, Embry. We have a problem."

"What's up?" he asked curiously.

"You aren't going to like this. At all. Don't bring the pack when you come over. Bring your mom."

"Embry, seriously dude what's going on?"

"Joshua's here. In my kitchen. Cookingbreakfast with my mom."

There was a brief pause. "I'll tell all the guys to stay away from the house for a couple hours, pick up my mom and be right there, little bro."

"Did you seriously just call me that?"

"Just because I hate him for what he did to my mom, doesn't mean I have to hate you for it. You're my brother and it's my job to look out for you."

"Thanks man, that really means a lot to me. Should I call Bella and tell her to steer clear for a bit too?"

"Yeah, but just tell her instead of not coming, just to go to Quil's and tell him what's going on. He's going to want to know."

"Good plan," I agreed. "Should I tell him you're coming too?"

Sam's voice was hard and cold when he answered. "No. He's going to expect my mother, and he probably knows he's going to hear it from her. But he won't expect me right away. I want him to look me in the eye and see what he abandoned with shock, I want him to grovel on his knees trying to apologize."

Suddenly the fury he felt filled me too. "Agreed. He needs to know he's too late. I don't need him anymore. That ship sailed. And he needs to know I will kill him before I let him take advantage of my mother again."

"We'll confront him together," I could hear the conviction in Sam's voice. "See you soon Em." He hung up the phone before I could reply.

In the meantime, I turned back to the kitchen as I prepared to face the music that awaited.
