Epilogue3 (Billy's graduation)

BillyPOV

"You've done well son. I'm proud of you." He says.

"Dad?" I question confused.

"Yes, Billy." He answers

"This will be the only time you see me, until you are ready to join me." He informs me.

"What's going on?" I shake my head.

"Your Mother asks that same question." He chuckles.

"This is my way of saying I am watching over you and I like what I have seen. You have become a good man. I love how you have embraced your heritage while staying true to your Mother and Edward too."

I feel a lump in my throat as I think this can't be real. "I miss you so much Dad."

"I know son, but remember I'm always with you. I'm always watching. I have to go now, but before I go…make sure you see your Mom. She has some things for you. I love you." He hugs me tightly.

"I love you too Dad" I say hugging him back as tears fall down my cheeks.

I wake up holding my pillow and cheeks wet from my tears. My dream was so real it affected me while I slept. He said I needed to see my Mom but how do I do that without sounding like I have lost my mind.

"Thanks Dad" I mutter to myself crawling out my bed.

"What's wrong Billy?" Emily asks from beside me.

I met Emily the first day I went to the reservation. My mother explained to me who my Father was and what happened to him. It didn't take long and I was walking onto the reservation looking for answers to who I am and where I come from. Emily's Dad, Harry, was really good friends with my Father. He would let me stay there if I wanted to sleep on the rez. It was a place I felt at home, almost as if I was closer to my Father.

My Father, Jacob Black, was my Mother's best friend and he gave his life to save my brother. He literally took a bullet for him because he loved him like he did me.

Emily listened to me talk when I need to get things off my chest. She helped me keep from hating my brother, and helped me see it wasn't his fault my Father died. I think I always knew that but just wanted someone alive to blame and he seemed like an easy target. Emily showed me how to let the past die and how the spirits have reasons for doing things.

Over time I found myself there everyday after school, looking for her. There was just something about her presents then that just drew me in. Now, she is my world. I don't think I would be able to survive without her. Some might call it unhealthy or obsessive but when we are apart my heart actually aches.

Today we graduate together. I will be leaving high school with her at my side. We have both decided to go to Seattle for collage. Emily wants to be a teacher, so fitting for her I think, me I kept my dreams of become an astronaut. I want to travel in the stars.

I lay my hand on her hip and smile down at her. "I'm fine; I need to go talk to my Mom so the bathroom is yours to take over. Maybe I'll be back in time to shower with you." I grin and wiggle my brows at her making her giggle. I kiss her cheek and walk out of the room in my boxers and beater.

As I round the corner my Dad is there with a robe ad a blank look on his face. "You're, you're Mother's son and I've been around long enough. She is at the table with coffee, let's go." He claps his hand on my back and we walk into the dinning room together.

Sure enough there is my Mother with her coffee cupped in her hands, as if she's cold, and two other cups next to her.

I started drinking coffee at sixteen and my Mom watched with a sad smile the first time I got it and three spoons of sugar. When I asked about it one day she forced a smile on her face and answered "Your Jacob used to drink his coffee like that and I would tell him that's why he could never sit still." I saw her eyes water so I wrapped her in a hug.

My Dad and I pull out chairs on either side of her and sit down. My Mom pulls two envelops from her lap making me even more confused. "These" she starts and pauses to take a deep ragged breath "are the things your Father and Grandfather left for you. They are the deed to the house Billy owned and the truck Jake drove. They are now yours along with their savings and everything else they owned. It is all yours now." She slides them over to me with tear filled eyes.

I place my hand over them and slide them in front of me. I can't open them all I am able to do is stare at them. "This is why I he said talk to your mother" I mutter under my breath. My Mom of course hears it, with her freaky super human powers, and nods.

She wipes the tears from her face and looks up at me. "You are now of age all you have to do is sign them." She reaches behind her and grabs a pen then hands it to me.

I stare at it for a minute suddenly feeling like I have the world sitting on my shoulders. My eyes bounce back and forth between the pen and the papers in front of me. Then I slowly look to my Dad. "Where does this leave you and me?" I ask.

"Billy, you are still my son. You always will be, but this man never stopped loving you. He was a good man and this here will only be you taking what is rightfully left to you by that man. They both left you everything they had. None of it changes the way I feel." He answers me.

I take the pen from my Mom and remove the papers from the envelopes. After flattening them out I move to sign my name then put the pen down and grab my coffee and stand from the table. "That can be done later" I smile at my Mom "I'm graduating today and my amazing woman is in the shower" I wiggle my brows at my Dad making him chuckle and my Mother shake her head. "We can take care of this later" I nod at the papers then kiss my Mom's head and go up to my room.

I woke this morning knowing it was time to give Billy what is rightfully his. Billy has been my wild child. He much like his brother and sister before him had almost perfect grades but he was so confused about where he belonged in life. When he met Emily she helped him figure t all out. He is still full of life and much like Jacob he can't sit still but he makes sure the important things are done.

He did surprise me this morning though when he left the papers and pen on the table without signing them. I thought he would smell the freedom and jump at the opportunity to move out, he practically lives on the reservation now. If he isn't at Emily's she is here, those two are quite the pair. She is quiet and lied back and he is on the go all the time.

I watch them come down the stairs hand and hand, it makes me smile. She has such soft features and Billy is built a lot like Jake, built and toned all over. His skin is a little lighter than the rest of the reservation's men but they learned really fast he is Jacob Blacks son. Now that he is eighteen he has a lot of decisions to make. Not only with the things left to him by law but the things righted down to him. Now that Billy and Jake are gone he is next in line to be chief. I think with Emily by his side he will embrace it well.

"Lets do this" Billy bellows through the house making the rest of the family file in to the living room.

Seth comes in and mock punches his shoulder "That's right we have a guy graduating again. We might be on time." They both laugh and Edward tries to cover his up with a cough. I just shake my head and laugh lightly.

EPOV

Billy was named valedictorian of his class but chose to pass it off. He has never been one to speak in front of large groups even if he always messed around. He is playful like Jacob so I am wondering what he will do at the ceremony.

He got his diploma and when the woman of the family did the pictures he spread his arms out and stuck out his tongue. None of them where very happy about it but I just shook my head and let them grip. I have learned over the years to just let them go and they will grip it out.

When the last person got was seated after getting there certificate the principal announced the class and Billy jumped to his feet. He gave Bella a devilish grin and she shook her head muttering "oh no". Before I could ask what Billy threw his cap in the air and flipped off the stage. Emily sat beside him giggling.

Emily came to public schools after Billy spoke with Harry. She enrolled her Junior year and came back for her Senior year to stay with Billy. Now she sits by his empty chair giggling away at the antics of her boyfriend.

After they are released Billy takes Emily's gown and leaves her with us while he returns both of their gowns. Minutes later he is rough housing down the hall with some of the guys, when he sees Emily he stops and flashes a grin at her, making her smile softly back.

When all head back to the house and Billy and Emily sit and have coffee with us. We already know they are heading to the reservation. After coffee they both stand to leave and Bella pulls Emily into the kitchen.

She hands the two envelops to her "He needs to go to the house. You know where it is. He needs to sign them on the kitchen table, the truck is in the shed out back covered with the tarp. If he wants me to remove the bike I will." She whispers before sending her out to Billy.

As Billy opens the door she calls out to him "You be careful Little Bill" making him grin at her and nod.

Billy POV

Emily begged to drive to the rez, when she batted her eyes and made a promise I headed the keys over more than willingly. We weren't far into the reservation and she pulled up to a read ragged looking house with a ramp leading to the front door. I give her a questioning look and she just smiles and gets out. When I meet her around on the other side she takes my hand and leads me inside.

The inside is clean and well kept I walk through the house it all feels familiar to me. When I reach one of the rooms I see bunk beds with transformer sheets on the bottom bunk and books on the sheet up top. My memories come flooding back to me and I move to the room next to it. All my Father's stuff is left just the way he had it the last time I was here. I drop to my knees and start to cry. Emily's soft arms wrap around me holding me to her letting me cry for what I've lost yet again.

After I calm down we move to the kitchen and sit at the table where I tell her about my dream. She tells me that she thinks it's the sprits allowing me to see my Father to show me the path I need to be on. When I tell her I want the house she smiles brightly and pulls out two envelops. She explains what my Mother said to her and slid them over to me, as I pull the forms out to sign she hands me a pen.

Then right there on my grandfathers kitchen table I take possession of the house and truck that they had left me. After that is all done we head out and she reveals the truck to me still in mint condition after all this time. As I sit in the truck Emily explains how everyone came together and decided to take care of these things until I could have them.

As I look around the garage I see something else covered sitting in the corner. When I left the tarp I see a motorcycle with "Bells" written on it. I look at Emily because she seems to have all the answers at this point.

"It's your Mother's" she starts, "she said she will remove it if you want. It's the only thing she wanted and your Dad left it to her, it isn't as well kept because your Mom didn't want us touching it. She comes out to ride it every now and again. I think it's her way of staying connected to your Dad." She lowers her head playing with her fingers. "I'm sorry she swore me to secrecy. She said she had a gut feeling and told me the story."

I rush to her in a few quick strides and pull her into me. "My Mother is one person I will never be worried about your secrets with." I tell her quietly.

After I cover the bike back up I text my Mother telling her the bike stays and take Emily's hand and pull her inside the house again. I ask her opinions about decorating and adding on.

As I listen to her explain what she would do my Mom's voice enters my head telling me the story of how my Father proposed to her and I want to repeat it.

After Emily is done talking I smile and head to my Dad's room. When I come out I pull her away again. "Come on" I say when she gives me a confused expression.

I take her out to the beach right by grandpa's house and hold her by the water. I reach in my pocket and pull out the ring my Father gave my Mother and looked at it. When I lift my head again I turn Emily around and drop to my knee.

"Emily, you are all I will ever want. You brighten every day and I want to wake up everyday to that sparkle in your eye. I will move heaven and earth for you if you would do me the honor of becoming Mrs. Emily Cullen."

She covers her mouth with her hand and nods her answer. Having enough of the sappiness I chuckle "I need an answer honey, this is one you don't get by with a nod."

She gives me a playful shove and says "Yes, ya big goof. Yes"

After putting the ring on her finger I wrap her in a hug lifting her off the ground. After spending a while together there on the beach we head out to meet the rest of the guys at Paul's house.

The woman gush over the ring and the guys razz me a little but it ends quickly. We call over the current chief and he hands over the title to me without question then we start drinking beers and sitting by the fire. After the first case is gone I suddenly have an idea.

"I think I might get a tattoo, what do you guys think?" I look around at them.

"I can do it." Jordan pipes up; I have a license and all that. I give him a nod and he rushes to his house and get all his stuff.

Three houses later I have the trial symbol on my arm with the year I decided to take my place as chief.

I wake the next morning to my Mom in my house kicking my bed with my Dad at her side as usual.

After explaining what happened last night we discuss my future and what all my decisions mean.

EPOV

We wake Billy the next morning in the house that was left to him. Bella starts to flip over his tattoo but when he explains that he took possession of the house and truck then took his place as chief Bella relaxes a little. When he told us he proposed to Emily Bella squealed so loud my ears rang.

She and the kids start to prattle on about wedding planes and all I can do is sit back with my coffee and watch it unfold. Once again I see another child's life start to bloom even with all he has had to over come.

And there is Seth's graduation what did you guys think. Leave me a review and let me know. Up next Jacob (Jr.'s) graduation…
