"How was your first day of school Byron?" Jacob asked as he picked up his son in the Rabbit.

"It was ok…" Byron said.

"Heard you had a little… disagreement with the teacher," Jacob said trying to sound nonchalant, but Byron could tell he was hiding a laugh.

"I guess you could say that… Hey, can we go running today?" There were few things that Byron liked, and running was one of them. Byron didn't particularly run fast compared to his parents, even when Byron transforms into a wolf, which is his favorite form for both its shape, and also for the added power he gets from his wolf forms over his other forms. "Just the two of us?"

"Sure, Byron, wanna talk?" Byron inherited many of Jacob's wolf characteristics, one of which is the mind link, Byron's wasn't as powerful as Jacob's, Jacob's being active anywhere in the world and with his whole pack, where as Byron's fizzled out at around 200 feet, and he could only talk to his dad.

Byron just nodded.

Jacob turned his eyes on the road and asked, "wanna talk as soon as possible or drop the car off first?"

"It can wait…"

Jake just nodded.

After they got the car back home and Jake let Renesmee know about them running, they phased and took off into the woods.

'Ok son, what's on your mind?' Jake thought to his son.

Byron gave his dad a complete mental rerun of what had happened that day.

'Wow look at you, your first day at school and your already getting the ladies' Jake said with a mental laugh 'Looks like you take after your old man, huh?' he thought with another mental laugh.

'Come on, dad, what's up with all this? I mean, I've hung around Sam and Emily's daughter before, but I've never felt like this before…' Byron said

'I remember back in my day when boys and girls all thought the other had cooties… looks like you get to skip that stage.' Jake said with a mental shrug.

'What was that you just thought of?' Byron said.

'About what?' Jacob asked.

'It sounded like Engraving, or Imprinting or something.'

'It's nothing, it's nothing,' Jacob thought in a reassuring manner. Convincing Byron it truly was nothing was rather simple for Jacob, after having years of practice at hiding the things from people through the mind link.

'What should I do about the bullies?' Byron asked his dad.

'Well, I'm happy for the amount of loyalty you have and how far you will go to keep our secrets, son, but that doesn't mean you can't fight back… just tone it down a little.' Jacob said while giving his son a little mental nudge.

'Ok, dad… and what about the girl?'

'Well, it sounds like you have yourself your first little crush,' Jake said with yet another mental laugh. 'Are you going to keep talking to her?'

'Of course. She is the only one there who isn't either afraid to talk to me for being singled out by the teacher or afraid of talking to me for being singled out by the bullies.' Byron said, 'and besides, if I leave her alone, the bullies might mess with her again.'

Jacob just grinned as they came full circle back to their house and phased back to normal.

"You're a good kid, you know that?" Jacob said as he ruffled up his son's hair. "You're going to make us look like responsible parents."

They both laughed and walked inside, all the while leaving Jake to wonder…
