Chapter 2

Heathcliff hadn't seen so many people in one place in his life. The moment he stepped into arrivals he stood their watching people rushing about. The usual hugs and cries from friends and family reuniting, but most just stood at the carousel waiting for their luggage. He snapped out of it when he saw a man who looked a spitting image of his uncle Seth walk towards him. His smile lit up the room. Maybe Seth had a son that nobody had told him about.

"Heathcliff Black?"

"Hi." Heathcliff felt his cheeks flame with color.

"So like your mother." the man chuckled. "I'm Seth." he held out his hand.

Heathcliff's head snapped up as he looked at the man's face. According to his father and granny Sue he only two years younger than his dad. Yet this man looked no more than 23 at the most. Just like his father he was huge and under his gray top he could see the bulging muscles. The boy did nothing but stare.

"Here my ID." Seth waved a drivers licence in front of face.

Heathcliff took it in his hand and indeed he was Seth Harold Clearwater. The gods had been good to him there was no denying it. Was it wrong to fall in love with your not blood uncle? Your dad's best friend? It wasn't until somebody crashed into him making him stumble into his uncle's arms that he snapped out of it.

"Ahhh I do miss your mother." Seth said wrapping his strong extremely warm arms around the shorter man. "Come on let's get your bags."

Bella had bought her son enough clothes to last him a life time. On top of that he had packed all his favorite books and photo's of the ones he left behind. His father had given him money to buy a new laptop for school and suggested he bought it once he got to New York.

The young man tried to pull his bag from the carousel his father had carried them through the airport and the young man had no idea how heavy they were. Using all his strength he tried to pull it off only to stumble backwards and fall flat on his ass. Luckily Seth had no trouble and grabbed both suitcases as though they weigh nothing. Even his father grunted when he lifted them out the trunk of the car.

Heathcliff quickly picked himself off the ground his cheeks flamed red through his russet colored skin. Seth smiled down at him and winked. Without a word and just a jerk of his head the young man followed his uncle through the terminal. People around them seemed to get out of Seth's way as though intimidated by his sheer size.

They reached a old beat up truck sitting in the loading zone. A female cop was standing there with her book open writing out a ticket. Seth quickly threw the suitcases in the bed without care.

"Seth Clearwater." he said holding out his hand to the cop.

The cop raised her eyebrow not looking up at the person who's hand was offered. Seth dropped it and rubbed the back of his head.

"You're not going to write me a ticket are you officer?"

Finally the officer looked up at Seth. "You are parked in a loading zone."

"Well as you can see I've loaded stuff." he said pointing to the luggage on the back of the truck.

"Nice try Mr Clearwater." she said handing him the ticket. Seth sighed and thanked the officer before looking down at it. "I'm free Thursday." she winked and walked away.

The man chuckled and put the ticket in his back pocket. At first he thought he had a ridiculous fine until he saw a name and a number underlined. Yet again his looks and charm had gotten him out of a ticket. Of course he wouldn't call her as she wasn't his type. He would remember though to park legally from now on so he didn't run into her again.

"Works every time." he winked at Heathcliff. "Come on let's get out of her before she changes her mind." he said opening the door for his best friends son to climb in.

The ride was quiet as they drove through the bustling streets of New York. Seth pointed out a few landmarks that the young man might be interested in to go visit. They had left the city and the traffic became lighter. They were in the suburbs houses joined together. Seth pulled up to a beautiful large three story house with peaked roof and small narrow windows.

"Home sweet home." he said looking up at the house a smile on his face. "I'll get you to and from college for a few weeks until you get settled and learn the timetables." he said finally getting out.

"Thanks uncle Seth." Heathcliff said.

Seth stopped mid stride. "That sounds really wired. Just call me Seth, Heathcliff. I'm to young to be your uncle." he paused. "Well technically not but you know what I mean. I don't look old enough to be your uncle. More like a brother don't you think?"

"Deal but please don't call me Heathcliff. Only my mom calls me that. Everyone else calls me Heath."

"Thank god." Seth snorted before once again heading towards the front door. Heathcliff giggled and followed him.

The young man gasped as he walked into the front foyer. It was beautiful nothing like his home back in La-Push. Heathcliff cringed when he saw beautiful vases and bowls sitting on what looked like spindly stands. Seth hadn't paused and was already bounding up the stairs as though the two suitcases didn't weigh anything. Deciding he should follow the older man he slowly followed up knowing he couldn't get that lost. There were four doors along a corridor. Each door was open and each showed what was inside. The first room was a elegant looking office. Files scattered across the desk and folders covering most of the walls. The computer hums softly a logo bouncing on the screen. The next room is a small bedroom with a single bed and not much else.

The room on the other side of the corridor was a bathroom. It was clean and modern the claw bath enormous and looked inviting. At home he had no chance to have a bath often as his mother and father seemed to think that each of them needed no more than a quick shower. Unless it was them where they would go bath taking wine and fruit. Those nights Heathcliff and his brothers and sister knew they were going to be sleeping with their music blaring full blast. Their mother was never quiet.

The last room was at the end. Stepping inside he stood there stunned. It was like another world. The room was twice the size of his living room at home. In the middle of the room stood a large king size bed. There was a desk to one side which already had a laptop sitting on it. Shelves above it and a massive book shelf at the side waiting for his beloved books.

"I hope you don't mind you have to use the main bathroom. We were thinking of putting a ensuite on but we ran out of time. We only moved in a few month's ago." Heathcliff stood there stunned his mouth open in amazement. "Um anyway I'll leave you to get settled. I thought we could eat in tonight. Get to know each other and decide what you want to do before classes start."

"Unc.. Seth I can't thank you enough this is amazing. I've had to share a bathroom with my whole family since I was born. I don't mind sharing I swear. I'm just wow. This is just awesome."

Seth smiled his beautiful white smile. "Great well I'll let you get settled. I'll just be in my office if you need anything." Seth pulled Heathcliff into his arms. "I'm so happy your parents trusted me with your care." he said before turning and marching out the room shutting the door lightly behind him.

Heathcliff tried to pick up his suitcases off the floor but again failed miserably. Sighing he opened the first one up and began his unpacking. He already liked his new home and he hadn't seen anything other than this floor and the foyer. As he was putting his socks in the drawer he paused.

"Who is we?" he whispered to himself. His father hadn't told him he had a wife or anything. Seth hoped that she was as nice as his uncle was.

It didn't take Heathcliff long to unpack and decided to go find his uncle as he was beginning to get hungry. Quietly opening his door he took a tentative step into the hallway. He could hear Seth talking to someone and was about to go back into his room as he didn't want to disturb him if he was working. As his hand went to the handle Seth stepped out of the office.

"Unpacked already?" Heathcliff nodded. "You hungry?"

He didn't wait for a reply and waved his nephew towards him. Seth stepped back into his office Heathcliff on his heels. The room was bigger than he thought. It went around a corner where he could see another desk hidden.

"Jazz I want you to meet Heathcliff Seth Black."

If Heathcliff thought Seth was handsome this man was beautiful. He was not as bulky as his uncle or as tall. Yet he carried himself well. His blond wavy hair chin length his skin pale against the black shirt he wore. His eyes were crystal blue and the young man wondered if they were even natural but they suited the man.

The man walked towards him his hand held out. "Jasper Hale. Seth has been looking forward to you coming and living with us since he found out." he chuckled.

"Nice to meet you Jasper. I hope you don't mind me intruding."

"Please your my boys family making you mine." he said kindly before pulling Seth into his arms and kissing his neck. Seth giggled before slapping his lover's arm.

"Come on I'll give you a quick tour before we get some food. Jazz the Logan…"

"I know go spend some time together. I've got that meeting tonight so won't be home for dinner. It was nice meeting you Heathcliff." Jasper went back and sat at his desk.

Seth pushed him out the door before he could reply. "By the look on your face you didn't know I'm gay."

"Dad hasn't really said much other than you were happy to take me in." Heathcliff admitted.

"It's why I left home. People weren't accepting of homosexual's or of Jasper."

"Things have changed now. I'm… well you see…"

"It's okay kid I know. Your dad told me." Seth slapped him on the back making him stumble forward. The older man caught him before he could fall flat on his face. "Sorry don't know my own strength." he chuckled.

There was another set of stairs going upwards. Seth showed him around which didn't take long. The whole top floor of the house was mostly dedicated to a large master bedroom and another bathroom which was bigger than the one of the floor below. There was even a large library full of books that looked old and even smelt it. Seth watched his nephew walk towards the shelves only to stop and turn around.

"It's okay Jasper won't mind."

"Maybe later." the young man blushed but looked at the books longingly.

"Sure." Seth shrugged. "Okay let's go find the kitchen." he said as his stomach growled loudly making them both chuckle.

The rest of the house was as amazing. The lounge was warm and inviting a large television on the wall. What Heathcliff noticed was that there was every game console made on shelves. He wasn't a big gamer himself but his brothers both were gamers when they lived at home. It had caused many arguments and a few broken screens when they first got the Wii.

"Guess your wondering why two grown men have them." Seth asked pointing them.

"Well um...yeah." the young man admitted.

"We are programmers. We are freelance and these are the machines we have made games for."

"Wow Max is going to be so jealous. So what games have you done." Heathcliff said going towards them.

Seth rattled off many famous games and some Heathcliff hadn't heard of but possibly because they were newer and Max took the game consol with him when he moved out. The young man's phone vibrated in his pocket and he suddenly remembered he had promised his parents he would call as soon as he landed.

"Hey dad." he said chewing his lip. He knew it was coming and pulled his phone away from his ear as his father ripped into him for not calling the moment his feet hit the ground. Seth stood there laughing silently shaking his head.

"Sorry dad I forgot I would have called later."

"Yeah he was waiting for me. My room is nice. No I haven't had a chance yet." Seth clicked his fingers getting Heathcliff's attention wanting the phone.

"Dad, Seth wants to talk to you hold on." he said happy to pass it over. His father was giving him the third degree and wanted to know everything.

"Jake take a chill pill man. He's only just arrived. Yeah maybe but you would have forgotten too. Yes I know I promise to take care of him. No, no drinking. No I'm not going to take him to a gay club. Jacob really?"

Seth started walking out of the room. Heathcliff followed behind like a lost puppy, as he heard Seth and his father talking. The older man went to the fridge and started pulling things out and handing them to the younger. The whole time Seth listening to his father, giving a, aha every now again. A few times he even rolled his eyes before agreeing to whatever Jacob was saying.

"Jake I've gotta go we need to eat. Yes I promise he will ring his mother tonight… Alright give my love to Bella for me." he ended the call without waiting for a reply.

"Ring your mom." Seth said about to throw the phone at Heathcliff but stopped himself remembering exactly who his mother was. Instead he placed it in his hand and patted his shoulder.

"Seth are you okay? You seem really warm."

"I'm in perfect health." Seth said not looking his nephew in the eye. "Let's see if we can bulk you up some."

"Yeah good luck with that." Heathcliff snorted.

Isabella was always trying to fatten her son up. The family had given up hope of him growing taller though he hadn't grown an inch in nearly three years either. He was never destined to be like his father or his two brothers who were both nearly as tall as their father and almost as bulky.

The next two weeks were busy with Seth showing his nephew around the city as well as going to the campus with him to look around and find his classes. Jasper was a bit of a mystery to Heathcliff. He was out most the time although when he was home he was either in his office working or sitting in the library reading. What he did know was that Seth and Jasper were totally into each other.

The campus was a hive of activity. Edward was heading to his first class of the semester. It had not been a hard choice for him to leave his family for the first time in decades to go out on his own. After leaving Forks he vowed that he would never fall for a human again. He truly loved Isabella Swan she was his everything. Yet they weren't meant to be when her best friend and his arch enemy Jacob Black imprinted on her. She didn't need to think at all as she fell into the wolf's arms accepting him as her mate.

Edward's family left a month later moving on to a new area. It had been over twenty five years since that fateful day yet it just seemed like yesterday in ways and a thousand in others. Because of the wolves blocking Alice's vision the vampire didn't even know if she was okay. He knew that Jacob would not only love her but, protect her with his life. The vampire shook his head. It was time to move on.

So much had changed within the family dynamics. Emmett and Rosalie had gone off on their own saying they wanted to get away and try living on their own for a while. They were currently living in Russia where his sister was working in a orphanage. Emmett had gone to work as a woodsman just like he did when he was a human.

Alice and Jasper had gone their separate ways ten years earlier. It had been a shock to the whole family except for the pixie vampire. Jasper was never her true mate and she had followed her dream of living in Paris. No one had heard from the major since he left secretly when the rest of the family went hunting. Edward had surprisingly missed his brother deeply and often wished he would get in contact again. Alice of course knew where he was and informed the family he was happy and sticking to his vegetarian diet.

Carlisle had taken a job in London where he had become renowned for his skills and in hot demand. Esme of course was doing her usual charity work with the homeless. The coven patriarch had no intention of changing anymore humans he was content with his family even though they were now scattered around the globe.

Edward himself had decided to head to college and do another degree. Being a high school student had gotten old. So here he was now a student at Columbia University taking Classical studies. New York had been a favorite place for him as it was still in the Americas yet far away from the woman he had once loved.

Taking a seat he took no notice of other students filing in and taking seats for the beginning of lectures. Today was just an introduction and Edward wished yet again that Jasper was here. They often sat and spoke of history and myths which some were actually true to some extent. If only humans knew the true story.

Edward was pulled from his musing when there was a loud crash from behind him. Turning he watched a young man picking himself up from the floor a blush on his cheeks. The vampire couldn't take his eyes off him. The scent was a mixture of his singers and a wolf. Not just any wolf but Jacob Black's.

"Sorry." the boy said quickly finding a seat at the back and sitting down his books sliding off the desk onto the floor.

"Yes well, where was I?" The professor asked more to himself than anyone in the room.

The vampire was sitting three rows down and unless he turned his body completely he couldn't see the young man. Edward debated whether to get up and leave the class. He had moved here to forget and yet fate had landed him his former love interests son in his lap. With students sitting on either side of him the vampire was effectively locked in until after the class was finished.

Edward snapped out of it when people started standing and talking amongst themselves. Quickly packing his bag he made his way to the exit. The boy was apologising to everyone as he once again dropped his books. As he blocked the doors. The vampire hissed when he heard people thoughts about the klutzy kid and a few even didn't care and stood on his books.

Edward watched the boy who was a mix of both his parents. He looked a lot like his father accept instead of the alpha's body he was slim on the side of lanky. His hair was long and ink black like his fathers as well. He chewed his lip between his teeth just like his mother did and a blush easily graced his cheeks. The vampire was grateful the scent didn't call to him like Isabella's not with the hint of his father's mixed in with it.

As the student's disbursed Edward was able to focus his mind reading on the boy wondering if he again he could read him. Nothing. It would seem that he had inherited more of his mother than the vampire first thought. The young boy pulled out his phone and was texting someone. Edward noticed that the clothes weren't the latest fashion not that they were worn they were just comfortable and practical. His hair was long going down his back tied in a low ponytail.

Edward's phone went off and wasn't surprised that he saw Alice's name pop up.

"Hello Alice."

"Edward so how was class." she giggled.

"Why didn't you warn me?" he hissed making his way to his next class.

"Oh come on Edward if I had told you would you have enrolled? This is your chance to make amends with the past."

"What amends? I'm moving on from it."

Alice sighed. "Edward, get to know him. He is in a new city away from his family and doesn't know anyone. He could do with a friend I'm sure just like you."

Edward pinched the bridge of his nose. This wasn't a good idea and he knew it. Yet Alice was never wrong. She had even warned him of his Bella leaving him for the wolf, but refused to listen to her believing that Bella would be his. Even if she was human he loved her more than life itself.

"I have to go I'm going to be late for my next class."

"Promise me you will get to know him."

"I'll see." Edward ended the call just as he stepped into his next class.

Edward doubted that Jacob would want his son to be friends with a leech as he had called the vampires. Now that the Cullen's were gone the shifters wouldn't feel the need to protect their lands and would have stopped shifting. His son certainly didn't have the scent of a shifter either which pleased the vampire and hoped his presence wouldn't trigger it. He would call Alice again later to check before he decided to approach the young boy.

The rest of the day passed without incident. Heading to his car he decided he really needed to go hunt. After been around so many humans all day his thirst was getting uncomfortable even though he had only hunted a few days ago. It would take him a few months to get used to the close proximity of humans around him continually all day.

As he was getting in his car he noticed the young Black heading to the parking lot. Watching he was surprised when he jumped into the passenger's side a modern car with tinted windows. Alice was obviously wrong for once.

Sighing the vampire headed home to change before heading off to hunt. He couldn't shake the image of Bella's son from his mind. Tomorrow he would introduce himself to the boy.
