Charlie's POV
The town of Forks is notorious for its rain, but even here, by now, there would be snow. We haven't seen any snow yet. Since it was a particularly good day, with no rain, of course no snow, Billy and I were going to take advantage of it and go fishing.
I pulled up to Billy's tiny house in La Push and groaned at the sight of all the mud in the front yard.
"Are you ready to roll?" I asked as I walked into the house.
"Ready." Billy said as he closed his tackle box and grabbed his pole.
I grabbed the handles of Billy's chair and wheeled him out the front door. I stopped on the small porch and looked at the ramp. The ramp was just a tiny thing Jake had built a few years ago. It was just big enough to get Billy's wheel chair up and down. And at the bottom of the ramp was a huge mud hole.
I knew if I pushed Billy down the ramp, his chair would get stuck in the mud. I turned Billy's chair around and wheeled Billy down the stairs backwards, careful not to dump him out of the chair.
"We need to get this damn yard fixed." I grumbled as I fought to get Billy through the yard. His chair was getting stuck in the mud and I was having a hell of a time trying to pull him through it.
"The yard floods every time it rains. Which is always." Billy said. "I need a better chair."
I breathed a sigh of relief as we finally made it to my truck. I got Billy situated in the front seat and then threw his chair and gear into the back.
"That was my work out for the day." I said as I got in the drivers seat.
"I still have to get home." He reminded me.
"You might just be sleeping in the truck tonight." I laughed. Billy didn't find it as funny.
We all knew how much Billy hated it that he needed the extra help. Especially with getting into and out of the house. He never would be able push himself though the mud. None of us ever really complain though, we joke but never complain. We know he needed the help, and we all give it freely.
Since it wasn't raining or snowing we decided to take the boat out.
"How are Edward and Bella doing?" Billy asked as he dropped his line into the water.
"They are doing pretty well." I answered as I cast my line. "Bella is whining that there is no snow yet. It's pretty funny. Remember when she first moved here she was whining that it was so wet, and now she wants snow."
"Ironic." Billy laughed.
"That it is." I agreed. "How are Jake and Leah doing?"
"They are doing alright." He said. "The baby is due in just a couple weeks. They have both been working a lot of over time trying to get ready for the baby. I wish I could help them more. I gave them Jake's old crib, but it's not in the best shape."
"I'm sure everything will be set when the baby gets here." I said.
"I hope so." Billy said and then laughed and asked, "God, can you believe I am going to be a grandfather?"
"Well, you are an old man." I laughed.
"You're the same age, asshole." Billy laughed along with me.
After a few hours we headed to shore and headed for Billy's house.
"What the hell?" Billy mumbled as we pulled up in his driveway.
I looked up to see Billy's house and "what the hell" was the right thing to say.
There was a brand new ramp built on Billy's house. I got Billy situated in his chair and we inspected the new addition to Billy's house.
The ramp came from his front porch and ran all the way to the driveway. Billy's chair avoided all the mud in the yard. I pushed Billy up the ramp and onto the porch. The ramp went around the side of the house and into the back yard, and all the way into the garage that Billy could never get into because of all the roots in the back yard.
"Jacob would have hated this ramp when he was younger." Billy laughed. "Then I could have come out to see what he was doing."
"That he shouldn't have been doing." I chuckled.
"Exactly." Billy said. "We have only been gone for a few hours, how did somebody do this?"
"That's a good question." I said as I pushed Billy back up the ramp and into the house.
We both gasped as we entered the house. There sitting in the middle of the living room was a brand new electric wheelchair with a large red bow on it.
"Holy shit." Billy mumbled. "Did you do this?"
"Why do people keep asking me that?" I whispered. "I didn't." I answered louder.
I helped Billy into his new chair and then laughed as he spun in circles. He was just like a kid with a brand new toy.
"This is great, I wish I knew who to thank." Billy said as he went into the kitchen. "Now I can get myself around without anyone's help."
"Thank, God for that." I said. "'Cause, I about broke my back trying to get your big ass down the stairs earlier."
"Shut up." Billy laughed as he threw me a beer out of the refrigerator and then grabbed himself one.
We went back out onto the front porch and Billy rode up and down the ramp enjoying his new freedom.
"Hey look at this." Billy said. He pointed out the mud in the front yard. "The mud is covered in tiny footprints."
"Don't let Emmett know that." I said. "He's convinced there are elves running around here."
"That kid ain't right in the head." Billy said as we both laughed.
