Chapter 21

Gabriel agreed to accompany me to Forks alone; he assured me that if he wasn't heard from everyday they would jump on a plane to come after him. I was nervous the whole flight and couldn't sit still; at one point Gabriel actually grabbed my hand to calm me. Surprisingly it wasn't warm like Jacob's, "Everything is alright. I mean you know these guys so it will be fine." Since I neglected to tell him about mine and Jacob's relationship I showed him since we were already touching.

"Holy shit that was fucking weird." I nodded knowing what he was talking about then the light came on for us to put on our seat belts for landing. Thirty minutes later we were getting his belonging since I had none. When I turned to head for the sliding doors there he was. I didn't even need to see him to know he was there; I could smell and feel him all around me. He was franticly looking around hopefully for me. "JACOB!"

He turned and yet again I broke a rule in an airport. I couldn't help it even at an ungodly speed I wasn't in his arms quick enough. Even at my fast pace he caught me in the air pulling me to him. When I finally touched the ground he grabbed my face and kissed me more passionately than I could ever remember him doing before. He had tears pouring down his face, "Don't… You… Ever… Leave… Me… Again." He kissed me between each word and we would have continued but both of our attentions were caught by different people.

Jacob was focusing on Gabriel and I couldn't help but notice the young man who looked like a darker skinned Edward. "Caleb?" Jacob looked back to me, "It's amazing huh? He looks just like your dad; I swear I could say I had nothing to do with him." I couldn't even tear my eyes away from my son long enough to look at Jacob while I spoke, "Yeah well you would never be able to tell that our daughter is mine."

"Excuse me but can we leave now?" Caleb had yet to look at me and it hurt that my own son wouldn't look at me. "Jacob lets go. I have some calls to make once we get to… I can't go to La Push anymore." I had never really thought about that until just now, "Well I am not letting you out of my sight ever again so how about the old Cullen house?" I bit my bottom lip and smiled. "Home."

We all got in the car and Jacob tossed the keys to Caleb to let him drive. We had yet to let go of one another. Gabriel climbed in the front seat next to Caleb while Jacob and I got in the back. "I like the new car, a lot roomier that the rabbit. I take it that Caleb hasn't…" "Without you guys around why would he." I smirked. Finally we arrived at the old house that still looked new with directions from Jacob. We got out of the car, "So where is your pack that I am here to meet."

Jacob kissed the top of my hand, "Caleb keep your mother here while I go talk to Sam." His hand was quickly replaced with my sons; I fought the urge to look at him with all my might, "Jacob let Gabriel see you before you come back!" He howled and I knew he heard me. I looked at Gabriel, "I love my puppy." Then he howled again. Ten minutes later he came back in wolf form carrying his clothes in his mouth, "I think you need a hair cut." He licked my face before running off to change again. As soon as he was back he grabbed my hand. "They are all on their way."

Suddenly I was afraid to be surrounded by way too many werewolves being the only vampire even if I did have Jacob by my side, "Jake, the plane was full of humans. I think I need to hunt." His grip on my hand got tighter. I grabbed a handful of his hair and kissed the crook of his neck, "I promise I'll be back in less than fifteen minutes and if I'm not you can lock me in a cage the next time I come back." He grabbed the back of my neck pulling me into a kiss. "If you're gone for sixteen minutes I promise I will some way to keep you by me at all times." I would have blushed had I been human. He let me go and I was gone like lighting but I could still here Gabriel, "I will never get used to being around one who can do that shit." I laughed.

I ran through the woods as if I had never been gone. I few trees had grown since the last time I was here and the creak in the back yard got bigger but other than that it was still the same. Without Vampires to scare off the animals they were much closer to the house than normal. It barely felt challenging.
