This whole story is dedicated to my friend She Whispers who lost her fight with cancer a few days ago. :'( RIP my friend.

For those who have been following her stories I'm happy to say I've been given the honor of taking what she has already written and maybe one day I will repost them and finish them. Who knows but at this point in time I can't with my own stories.

Chapter 7

Jacob smiled down at his sleeping wife. She was just as beautiful as the day he met her. Why she picked him over Cullen he never knew but was grateful every day that she had. Together they had four great kids and that no matter what they were proud to call theirs. Of course they had their ups and downs what couple didn't. Even with the imprint it wasn't meant to say everything was perfect. He missed the kids and now knew that coming to New York was a mistake. Even though he still didn't want Heathcliff to live with a leech he knew he couldn't dictate his life for him and he trusted his best friend.

Stripping down to his boxers he climbed into bed. Heathcliff was having a shower and knowing him it would be a good half an hour to an hour before he came out. Isabella naturally curled her body around her husband's. Even though he didn't have the high temperature anymore she loved his warm body. Reaching for his phone he opened the gallery and skimmed through the photos until he came to the one he was looking for.

Smiling he let his mind wander to the day it was taken.

Sam had finally given Jacob the go ahead to go see his best friend. He had only been a shifter for two weeks, but it had been the longest that he hadn't seen Seth and he missed him greatly. All hopes had been dashed when Sam explained that Seth was to young to join the pack at only fourteen. In a way he was glad that his friend wouldn't be seeing the dangers that he and the rest of the shifters were dealing with, yet at the same time imagined that his friend would love everything about it. Getting to the Clearwaters he knocked on the door.

"Jake good to see you. Seth is in his room." Sue said stepping aside and letting him in.

"Thanks Sue." Jacob ran up the stairs three at a time.

Seth was sitting at his computer doing some school assignment. Even though Jacob was still at school he didn't think he would be going back anytime soon. The others in the pack had left and Sam had given up his dream of heading to college the moment he phased.

"Are you watching porn again?" Jacob asked laughing as Seth jumped and looked guilty as sin.

"Jake!" Seth stood and hugged his friend. "Where have you been. I thought you were angry at me. You're not right?"

"Never mad at you. Nah just some stuff going on."

"What, steroids? Look at you man geez and what's with the hair?"

"Nope just being working out a lot I guess." Jacob ran his hands through his now short hair. "Felt like a change." he shrugged before throwing himself on the bed which he had slept in many time growing up.

Seth sat down only for Jacob to pull him down beside him both looking up at the ceiling. When they were younger they would stay up late and talked about anything and everything. Each knew the others deepest darkest secret. Well almost. Seth still hadn't told Jake he was gay and wondered if he ever would.

"So you miss me?"

"Of course." Seth sighed and rolled to his side worried that his friend would notice the growing problem in his pants.

To Seth, Jacob was hot before he shifted and even though he wasn't one for liking people for their looks he couldn't deny that his best friend was spank bank material. Jacob turned so they were both facing each other only inches away from one another. Both boys could feel the hot breath of the other. Seth reached out and ran his fingers through Jacob's hair. The wolf almost purred at the contact. Being a wolf meant that touch was a trigger for happiness or so it felt like to Jake. He wasn't a huge touchy feely kinda guy until he shifted. However now he loved it more than he could imagine.

"It suits you." Seth said smiling. "Maybe I should do something with mine?"

"Nah yours looks good how it is. All the girls think you're cute."

"I don't' wanna be cute to girls."

"Why the hell not? Don't' tell me you're going to wait until you get to something."

"No, yeah maybe. I don't know. But I'm not cute."

"Sure whatever. If I was a girl I would think your cute and would date you." Jacob poked out his tongue and wiggled it around.

"Eww gross."

"Come on Seth I know you want me to kiss you and all your cuteness." Jacob said laughing.

"Would you?"

"Would I what?"

"Kiss me?"

"Sure if I was a girl. But let's face it I'm all man." Jacob flexed his muscle to prove his point.

"What if I was a girl would you let me kiss you?"

"Seth what the hell are we talking about kissing for?"

"Nothing doesn't matter. So where have you been really? I heard you joined Sam's gang. Please tell me you haven't."

Jacob laid on his back again. "Sam's a good guy. He's been helping me get through stuff."

Seth reached over and grabbed his phone and held it above them. Smiling to the camera they started making funny faces. Laughing and giggling like when they were young. The last one they took they were cheek to cheek. Sighing Seth dropped the phone the battery going flat. Turning to face his friend his lips brushed his cheek. Jake turned to say something and before either of them knew it they were kissing.

At first it was just lips on lips however soon Jacob found himself on his back with his best friend on top of him. When Seth's tongue ran along his closed lips Jacob opened his mouth and soon they were fighting for dominance. The shifter wrapped his arms around Seth's slender frame pulling him even closer. It was only when he felt himself grinding against Seth that he pushed his friend off. And jumped off the bed.

"What the hell Seth." he said wiping his mouth as though Seth tasted disgusting.

"Sorry I got carried away. Please don't' hate me Jake you're my best friend."

"Yeah friend Seth I'm not gay. I'll see you later." he said heading out the door as though he was on fire.

Three days later Jacob was working on his car when Seth turned up. Looking up from under the bonnet the shifter quickly looked away. "I'm busy what do you want Seth?"

"I want to apologize again Jake. Please don't be mad at me. It was a mistake and I promise it will never happen again." Seth stood hands in his pocket his feet kicking the dirt floor chewing his lower lip.

Jacob grabbed a rag and wiped his hands before walking closer to him. Seth stepped back fearing that his friend would punch him in the face.

"I should be sorry. Did I send mixed messages or something?"

"What no. Nothing like that."

"Then why did you kiss me?"

"I don't know. I wanted to… I've never kissed anyone before."

"So you thought you would kiss me?"

"I guess." Seth shrugged.

"And?"

"And what?"

"Was it good? I mean you know did you enjoy it?"

Seth nodded. "What about you?"

Jacob stepped closer and cupped the boy by the back of the neck and leaned forward. Just as they were about to lock lips again Bella's old truck pulled up outside. Both boys jumped apart Jacob going back to under the bonnet and picking up a wrench. Isabella walked in and Seth said a quick hello before racing out the door. If he had stayed a few minutes later he would have seen his best friend imprint on her.

"You going to talk to him while we're here?" Bella asked.

She had felt her husband get into the bed and tried to get back to sleep however the light from the phone wouldn't allow it. Through hooded eyes she watched as he flicked through the hundreds of photos he had on his phone skipped all the ones of her and the kids and stopping at the same photo they had in their bedroom along with one of the whole family and pack. She knew the boys were close of course because of their parents being friends with her dad. Seth was good to Jake and the same the other way around. They had a friendship that many were jealous of. They seemed to know what the other was thinking with just a look.

Jacob was devastated when Seth ran away without telling him why. Even his friendship with Embry and Quil didn't seem to help him get over his loss. If it hadn't been for Seth calling after Billy died Isabella wondered if her husband would ever have gotten on with life. For that alone she would always be indebted to Seth.

"Nah, yeah, maybe. I'll see." Jacob pulled his wife closer and kissed her deeply. His erection pressed against her thigh.

"Jake, our son is in the other room and will be out any second."

"Come on just a quicky." he chuckled running his hand up her inner thigh.

"Gross if you two are going to do that I'm leaving." Heathcliff growled throwing his dirty washing in the corner before sliding into his bed. "And don't try it while I'm asleep."

"Hey I paid for this room."

"Yeah well your son is in it."

"Fine I'm going to go shower." Jacob got up adjusting himself before grabbing clean boxers from the suitcase.

"Careful dad you might poke someone's eye out with that." Heathcliff ducked when his father picked up the bible that was sitting on the small table and threw it at his son. "Make sure you rinse the shower out when your done old man."

"Sure, sure."

Isabella rolled to her side facing away from her son. It had been so long since Jake had been able to get hard. She hoped that with the small break away he would be able to relax and give her some of his attention that she missed dearly. When they had first gotten together they couldn't keep their hands off each other and Jacob was an amazing lover making sure she was always satisfied. She never had to fake an orgasm he was that good even when he had been patrolling coming home exhausted. She saw Jacob hadn't switched his phone off and picked it up off the side table. They looked so happy in that photo. She went to turn it off and accidently went to the next photo. She gasped at what she saw. It took her several minutes to finally close it and wiped away the silent tears.

'How did I not know' she wondered to herself.
