Chapter 24

Seth's P.o.V.

I stood up on top of the chair in the waiting area at Seattle-Tacoma Airport. The guys all chuckled from behind me. I turned around and glared at them. It was really weird seeing them all dress...Normal. Everyone was dressed in jeans and regular shirts instead of our usual cutoffs and no shirts.

"Calm down, Seth! She'll be here soon," Sam reassured me. I rolled my eyes.

"Yeah, not soon enough," I retorted. I turned back around and searched the crowd. I also looked up at the visible second floor. That's when I saw her. She was with an older man and a woman with a beanie on over her bare head. That must have been her parents. Jazmyn had told me over the phone that her mom had gone ahead and shaved all her hair off so that she didn't have to go through the pain of seeing it all fall out in the months to come. Jazmyn had done it with her...But she still had hair...It was just short like Alice's. Dang. I was going to miss running my hands through her silky mane...

"Seth! Guys!" Jazmyn screamed when she saw us. I beamed and waved. I watched as she ran down the escalator, almost knocking down an elderly couple in the process. I rolled my eyes. Jazz was still Jazz. I hopped off of the seats and opened my arms just as she jumped into them. She wrapped her legs around my waist and hugged me tight as if she'd been gone for ten years.

And it had felt like ten years.

She pulled away and kissed me multiple times.

"I missed you! I missed you so much!" she repeated. She kissed me longer, hugged me again, then jumped down. I stared at the little pom-pom cap that she had on. She took it off slowly and smiled, blushing. "I couldn't let her do it alone..."

"It's okay...I kinda like it," I said, cocking my head and smiling. She giggled and ran her hands through it. She looked at the guys behind me and her smile got wider.

"Are you guys really just going to stand there and stare? Come give me hugs!" she replaced her hat just as the guys came and bombarded her with hugs. "I missed you!"

"Yeah, we did, too," Embry said, yanking her hat off and putting it on his head.

"Hey! Give it back!" she laughed.

"No, it looks better on me!" Embry said back. Jazmyn rolled her eyes and looked at Jared. She kneeled at one of the seats. She held up her arm and cupped her hand. Jared threw his head back and laughed.

"You didn't think I forgot, did you? Now get your wolfy butt over here!" We all gathered around close and watched as they started their match. I could tell that Jared was holding back. "Aww...Come on, Jare!" Jared cocked an eyebrow and pinned her arm down. Jazmyn laughed and hugged him. Then she stood up. "Where are my girls?" she asked, and held open her arms as Rebecca, Emily, Rachael, Kim, and Leah all hugged her. Then she pulled away. "Lookin' good, Lee!" Leah giggled and rubbed her stomach. Jazmyn turned around and took my hand. "Mom, Dad...These are all my friends. And this goofy guy right here is Seth." I looked at her parents. Jazmyn had her dad's big brown eyes, but looked almost exactly like her mom. Her dad shook my hand.

"So...You're the famous Seth I've heard so much about," he raised an eyebrow. I gave him my award-winning smile, hoping to look nice...And not fake. Mr. Young smiled back. "Nice to meet you, son. I hope Jazmyn's not too hyper for you," he joked. I laughed and looked down at my imprint.

"Maybe sometimes..." I played along. Jazmyn scoffed and punched my arm. I turned back to Mr. Young. "I'm sorry, I didn't catch your name before."

"Elliot. 'E.J...' To my friends...That means you, Seth." I nodded and smiled. "Any friend of my daughter's is a friend of mine." I smiled again as he went to introduce himself to the others. I turned to Mrs. Young. She was as pretty as Jazmyn...Even with no hair. She gave me a wide, genuine smile as she walked towards me.

"I'm Anna-Maria. But I like to be called Marie," she said. Her voice was so beautiful...Right there I could tell that she was a singer. I held out my hand to shake, but she hugged me instead. "We don't need to be so formal, Seth! You'll be my son-in-law one day. Best to get off on the right foot!" I glanced at Jazmyn, who was blushing.

"Mom!"

Jazmyn's P.o.V.

I grabbed a hotdog and went to go sit down on the log next to Jacob. It was a little chilly, but the sky was clear and you could see all the stars clearly...A perfect night for a 'welcome back' bonfire.

My first one!

"How's the house coming along?" I asked Jake, taking a bite of my hotdog. Jacob smiled at me.

"Great! It's ready for unwrapping on Saturday. We finished the baby's room today," he answered. I squealed and hugged him.

"Ooh! I can't wait! She's going to love it!" I turned and looked at my parents, who were chatting with Carlisle and Esme. "How's that vampire alliance thing going?"

"Great! I can't believe how mean we were to them before," Quil answered, sitting next to me. "Nobody's as tense with them as we were before...And I don't even growl when I hear their last name! Cullen..." he looked up, as if waiting for something. "See?" I giggled. If they could trust them and be friends, then I could, too. I stood up and sat down next to...Alice, I think her name was.

"Uh...Hi..." I said. I didn't know exactly what to say to her. She was new, and I'd never met her before.

"Hi! You must be Jazmyn! I've got to say, I'm loving your hair!" she giggled. I giggled, too. It looked almost exactly like hers. "If I didn't know any better, I'd say you were copying me...!" she waggled her eyebrows and elbowed me lightly. I held my stomach and giggled even harder. I looked up and saw Seth staring at me, grinning. I winked at him. Alice followed my eyes and leaned in to whisper in my ear. "He really likes you, Jazmyn." I blushed, and Alice giggled again. I instantly liked her. She was almost exactly like me! We sat together for a while, just talking. She described to me how the baby's room looked like, and her favorite styles and trends. We giggled and laughed, and played jokes on her boyfriend, Jasper, and her brothers, Edward and Emmett. Suddenly, Billy wheeled himself to where everyone could see him. Everyone got quiet and took seats on logs. I waved 'bye' to Alice and took a seat with Seth. He leaned on my knees as I laid on Daddy's shoulder. Mom came and sat next to me, wrapping her arms around my back. I listened as Billy told the legends. I couldn't help but listen, and only tore my eyes away for a little bit to look at everyone else. All the grownups were in a little group watching Billy. Esme and Sue were cleaning up the food tables, but soon joined us. Emmett, Jasper, Alice, Edward, and Rosalie were seated together, listening to Billy intently. They looked peaceful, and I swear their skin sparkled a little bit in the fire's glow. Jared and Kim sat closely together. Jared held Ashley, while Amanda laid on his lap, sleeping soundly. They stole glances at each other, and I couldn't help but think of a young married couple when I looked at them. Emily sat with Sam, close to Billy. Embry, Collin, and Brady all leaned against a log, and Quil held a sleeping Claire. Rebecca sat next to Rachael, who was leaning on Paul. Leah and Jacob looked so cute, I almost giggled.

Almost.

Jacob was leaning against a log, and Leah sat on his lap. They had their hands entwined together which were resting on Leah's baby belly. Then Leah looked up at Jacob, and they kissed. After that, I snuggled back into my dad. I closed my eyes and pictured myself in all of the legends that Billy told...Me as the third wife...Me as a spirit warrior, defending my tribe against the cold ones.

"Elliot? Anna-Maria?" Billy asked. I sat up and looked at my parents. "I know that you guys have just arrived today, and are still settling in...But what if we told you...That all the legends told here today are true?" Whoa. I hadn't expected for Billy to explain to them everything after they'd just gotten here...Not even four hours ago!

"W-what?" Daddy asked. Then he laughed. "That's not possible! It can't be..." he shook his head.

"El, it...It kind of is," Emily looked at Daddy. My dad looked around at everybody.

"Yeah, and I'm the Easter bunny! Really, Emily, if this is some kind of joke-"

"It isn't, El," Emily answered sincerely. Daddy looked around at everyone's serious faces. Then he looked down at me.

"Baby, if this is some kind of...Of...Prank, just tell me now," he grabbed my shoulders and looked into my eyes. I looked back at him. I didn't need to answer. "It's...Not."

"So all those stories that Elliot used to tell to Jazmyn at bedtime are true?" Mom asked. Sam nodded. Mom looked back at me and frowned. "So you have been keeping something from me!" I looked down, then back up in confusion when she started to laugh. "And here I was thinking that you were all on some kind of...Steroid drug!" she laughed some more. I blushed. My mom could never keep her thoughts inside her head.

"Marie...You actually believe them?" Daddy asked. Mom nodded.

"I trust them to not tell me any lies...And this isn't something you play about." Seth stood up.

"Mr. Young, I can show you proof," he jogged into the forest. My dad stared after him. A second later, Seth came out...In his wonderful wolfy glory.

"Is that Seth?" Dad asked. Seth came and sat down on his haunches. "Seth?" Dad asked again. Seth nodded. "Okay. I believe." I had never seen Daddy look so intimidated. I gave him a hug and laughed.

"It's okay, Daddy. You get used to it...Just don't get them mad."

"Them?" I nodded and pointed to all the other wolves.

"They all make a Pack. It's their job to protect us from vampires..." I looked at the Cullens and blushed. "...The bad ones, at least." My dad's eyes bugged out.

"Vampires?" he asked. Okay, this was a bad idea to lay this on my parents tonight. But Mom didn't seem to have a problem with it. I looked at the Cullens, and made sure that Dad was following my eyes. He pointed at them. "Vampires," he repeated, as if seeing how it sounded on his tongue. Then he stood up. "Okay, well...I'm going to sleep on this. You guys have a good night, now." He walked away towards our new house, his hands on the back of his neck the whole time. He kind of stared at Seth as he walked past, but shook his head again. Our house was close to the beach, which was good since we didn't have a car yet. "My life is never normal," Dad said, and disappeared down the path. I looked at Mom.

"You gonna' go with him?" I asked. "I...We...Understand if it's a little too much for you to take in." I glared at Billy as I said this. He smiled and shrugged. I rolled my eyes and looked at Jacob.

Your dad is so weird...I hoped he could read minds. I heard Edward laugh from next to me, and remembered Alice saying something about him reading minds. It was his 'vampy power' or something.

Creeper.

"Well...I am kind of tired...But, really, it's okay! I don't mind having knights in furry armor! And I think vampires are cool...I vaguely remember being obsessed with them as a teenager..." Mom looked up in deep thought as the rest of us burst with laughter. I hugged Mom.

"Oh, I love you, Mommy!" I said between giggles. She kissed me on my head and looked at Seth.

"So? How does he...Change back?" she asked curiously. I laughed at Seth whose tongue rolled out the side of his mouth. He trotted back to the forest, then came back in his favorite denim shorts.

Yeah. I knew what his favorite pair of shorts were. How awesome of a girlfriend am I?

"Aren't you cold?" My mom asked, shivering for emphasis. The other wolves laughed.

"No! We have high body temperatures!" Collin answered. My mom nodded, then yawned.

"I guess I'll see you guys tomorrow...?" she asked standing up. "I'm so sorry about my husband, he's just..."

"Yeah...I know," Emily answered rolling her eyes. Mom giggled.

"But, I say this for both of us, thank you very much for inviting us. I had a lot of fun."

"Thanks for coming, Mrs. Young," Sam said, standing up and shaking her hand. Mom pulled him into a hug.

"Please. Maria," I watched her laugh lines crinkle at the sides of her eyes when she grinned at him. "I'd also like to thank you for keeping my daughter safe these past few months." Sam looked at me and winked. Seth came from behind me and took my hand. I looked at him and smiled. "Are you gonna' crash at your aunt's house tonight?" Mom asked, folding her arms together. I shook my head.

"I want to spend tonight with you and Daddy tonight...I'll see you guys tomorrow?" I looked at Seth again. He nodded and I stood on my tippy-toes to kiss his cheek. "I'll be over bright and early!" I cocked an eyebrow at Jacob. He rolled his eyes.

"Oh, goody," he replied sarcastically. I laughed and took Mom's hand.

"Good night, guys."

Yeah. I know. Pretty...Uneventful. Unless you don't count her parents finding out about the big secret! I didn't want them to stay in the dark forever! That would be terrible. Next chapter is Leah's baby shower! The house is revealed!

Oh...Before I forget...

Mr. Young (Elliot)-35-Physiciatrist

Mrs. Young (Anna-Maria-34-School Music Teacher
