Thursday came and Jacob and I were fine and happy. Little Wills had Charlie and Billy wrapped around his little finger and was spoiled like no other boy in Forks. Charlie even took William to a grandfather-grandson workday; I think he just made up that day so he can flaunt him around the office and to everybody that he would come across.

Jacob and I took advantage of all this free time and we were having fun just being a couple, we were happy we decided to come to Forks and give ourselves some time off from the daily routine.

There was a reunion in La Push and Jacob William and I went. It was a bonfire meeting to tell all of the legends for Daniel to listen to. He knows most of them but this is an official meeting, he invited his two sisters Dana and Delilah because they're also joining the family through him.

We arrived and everybody was still scattered around but were close to start. Little William spotted his grandpa Billy and wanted to go to him, which we did and he instantly sat on his legs, he was happy to have a ride everywhere. Jacob and I sat together next to Billy while he still carried William on his lap and continued with the story.

The legends were told and we were all socializing and talking. Jacob and I headed to the table where the food was located and Jacob made a grumping noise and I realized that Delilah dropped the ketchup bottle and Jacob's shirt got dirty. Jacob was annoyed and said while cleaning his shirt…. "Damn, look where you put things, can you be more careful, why didn't….?" And he suddenly stopped, he looked at Delilah in her eyes and he stopped. I couldn't understand what was going on. Delilah was apologizing for having dropped the ketchup bottle and Jacob let go of my hand and turned to me, his eyes were sad. I don't understand what's going on.

"Jacob, Jacob, what's wrong? Are you okay? Jacob snap out of it!" and I smacked him on his shoulder when he finally said "I'm so sorry Bella" with watery eyes and ran to the wolves and….. He phased.

He hadn't phased in years, why did he start now?

Why did he phase?

Delilah was still staring at me and apologizing to me.

I started hyperventilating and I started to realize what finally happened, what I've been dreading all this time….. And the lights went off and I lost consciousness.

I opened my eyes and I recognized Jacob's old bed in Billy's room as I sat up; I instantly thought of William and ran into the living room. Billy was there playing with him.

"Bella, I'm so sorry." He told me with sad eyes.

"Billy, you have nothing to apologize for. I just don't know what to do. Have you talked to him?" I asked him while sitting on the couch looking at William, I couldn't think and I didn't know what to feel.

I felt pain and hurt but I stared at William and I know I have to be strong, but I'm just hollow inside right now.

Billy sighed, "No, I haven't seen him but the pack says he's around the Canadian border. They think he's just blowing some steam and trying to fully understand what's happening. Sam is trying to persuade him to come back and help him but if he doesn't Sam is going to look for him." He told me while holding William.

"I have to go Billy. I'm leaving to Unalaska tomorrow morning." I told him.

"You're not going to wait to talk to him? Bella, you know that's something he has no control over. You know he's beating himself up for the pain he's causing right now." He told me and held William tightly.

"Billy, I know it's not his fault and I know it's not my fault, and I also know it's not your fault. Don't worry, we'll talk about it but I just need to get out of here right now. I don't want to be rude but I can't stand being here." I said while choking a sob and tears started streaming down my cheeks while I placed my hands in my face and started wiping.

"Billy, know that William is your grandson just like my dad's. You have the same right to see him and visit him and talk to him; I won't deny you that right because Jacob, well you know…." I informed him.

"Thank you Bella, thank you so much. I don't know what to do or say either about the whole situation. What are you going to tell Charlie?" he asked me, god I hadn't thought about that.

"I don't know, ill think of something. I know, I'm going to tell him that he's staying here in La Push for Lea's wedding and other paperwork he has to help you with, I think that's enough right?" I asked.

"Yea it is. Good thing Jacob has done that before, come down here to help me out with paperwork." He said sadly and gave William a kiss on the forehead and hugged him tightly and said his goodbyes.

"Ok, then it's settled then. Just let him know that I understand and that I need to talk to him. That I'm heading home and he can call me or visit me to talk about what we're going to do or say." I told Billy.

Billy wheeled his wheelchair and himself in front of me, grabbed my hand with both of his hands and looked in my eyes, you can tell he was sad and said….

"Bella I want you to know that I love you because I gained a daughter the day Jacob married you; and you don't know how happy I am with William too, my little William. Did you know that he looks exactly like my grandfather Ephriam Black? Anyways, I'm getting sidetracked…. Whatever happens I just want you to know that I will always be here for you and for William and you will always be family. I love you." He informed me and leaned over and kissed my forehead like a father does a daughter.

"Thank you so much." I told him with a genuine but sad smile, I took William and left La Push.
