Facing the past (open)

[tash]

She had not been to La Push but it still looked the same everything about it from the welcome sign to every tree not anything about the physical surrounding changed but this place was different for her now, it held a lot of memories of her past, good ones, bad ones, one he hope she could forget and just never lived them at all. She could not Changed that thought not one bit. Though it was painful she held every memory for the last time she had lived in La Push in a special pace in her heart the people she met there so many years ago made her life better. She couldn't have lived thought becoming a werewolf with out all the pack support but the one she remember helping her most was Quil.

A part of her died the day he imprinted on little Claire Young but Natasha knew it was for the best. She had not imprinted she might not ever. She was only in love once and she felt it was better to love and to feel love in return then to hold on to a false hope knowing that someday Quil and Claire would get married and start a family. She did not want to cause Quil any pain or the pack their knowing how she felt so she packed up and left. She left for college she got a degree in Biology but it never came to use for her. She longed for her old life and traveled helping other where she could; she never got sick so she loved helping who ever she could.

About thirty two years had when by until she felt like she need to go home. She missed La Push and missed her family. She knew her uncle was probably dead by She felt bad not coming back to visit before bur she did not think she could face the music but now hopefully she could.

Natasha pulled her car up to the Old Black house driveway. It looked still well kept and tidy on the outside; it must have been Jacob doing. She smiled as she thought of him and wondered what he was up to now. Natasha remember him imprinting on Renesmee and how She found that a little strange seeing how was in love with Bella before. His life was probably perfect now, he was probably married and had stated a family all Natasha knew was she would find out soon. Pulling he keys out of her pocket, Natasha unlocked the front door. The house smelled reasonably clean and looked so also but may object like pictures were missing Jacob must have moved out.

Natasha walked down the small hallway to her bedroom everything look a lot tinier then before. She remembered after she left Rachel moved back in so the room may not look anything like it did but when she open the door to investigate not really hadn't changed. It made her smile a bit thinking even though she was gone her room was keep the same. Compared to the rest of the house it was dusty but Natasha did not mind the room was unused so it should have been.

The first thing she did was open the desk and pulled out a little box she kept her keeps sakes in, Inside was pictures she had taken of herself of her life in La Push many happy memories. There where some of Jacob Working on her car and Jacob, Embry and Quil just hangout shirtless. Then there was one she wished she wouldn't have seen, Quil was holding her in his arms and she was smiling, a smile she had not see on her face in years it almost made her cry. Natasha ran her finger across his face. "I missed you my friend,"that was all she could be to him now a friend she did not want to be a home wrecker. She remember a time in her life where one day she thought they would get married, start a family of their own but fate decided against it and fate wished for Claire and Quil to be together.


Natasha thought about now Quil looked now, Knowing him he would grow older, maybe have a chid of his own. As she continued to think then smiled. Whatever happened in his life Natasha was sure he was probably happy and it made he feeling of sadness regress and a soft smile appeared on her face she couldn’t wait to see how people have changed and how the Pack had also there must be many new members for her to meet. Natasha placed the photos back in the drawer and headed back outside. She walked around her car looking to see if someone was around to tell her where Jacob moved to, she knew if she had to she could always stop by one on the Cullens’ places and find out but right now she was in La Push knowing her cousin someone must know where he moved to. She hoped someone she knew would come along and direct her where to go it would be great to catch up about all the La Push happenings over the years.

[Delilah Knightly]

It's been almost a year since she was back in La Push and so much has changed in her life. She got a fiance, two adorable kids, and be starting her own business soon. Well she's planning to bring it to either in Forks or Port Angeles. But isn't to certain about it since her kids are growing up and soon they'll start walking and talking which would make things hectic, if she starts something in Port Angeles. She isn't too sure about anything at all. But in past few months, things has been great for her and Noah. There was only one thing to do for her and Noah, that was getting married. Which she isn't planning on it til the twins are around two years old, which it won't be bad since they have wolves gene in them. Even though they're six months old, they look like they're year old.

It was Delilah's day to enjoy meaning Noah had to take care of the twins while she enjoys her day without worrying about anything. She loves being around her kids but she just needs to be alone and be a herself without running around the house doing their things or Noah. It's not that Noah doesn't help but since he does double patrols, it makes him sleepy and such so she's alone during the day when both the twins and Noah are asleep. Now and then Noah's mom would visit but she still doesn't have time to be herself. So whenever she needs to have her time to be alone, she either leaves the twins with Claire or have Noah's mom come and take care of them. Since Noah can't, busy sleeping.

The day was beautiful and she had decided that she would take a walk in the neighborhood. Lately, Delilah had been trying to get back in shape and lose the baby fat. Carrying two kids inside her was hard but she was glad that she didn't had to wait eight months. She was almost there with her goal, she just needed couple of days and she'll be done with her goal. As she reached Jacob's house, she smelled someone familiar. Even though the scent was familiar, she hadn't smelled the scent in long time. Being curious, Delilah walked towards the house, seeing a car in the driveway, making her smile when she saw someone familiar standing by the car. Natasha Black. She didn't talk or seen her in ages but it felt great to see her there. "Tasha?!" She yelled as she went behind her smiling. Delilah couldn't wait to tell the pack member on who had returned after so many years. She bet that everyone would be happy to see her, once again. "Remember me?" Of course, she could never forget Natasha because she was her best friend when they were growing up.

[tash]

Natasha turned around and look back at the house, years ago it looked like a barn with the faded red paint, since then it had been painted white and what it looked like a few times. knowing That Nessie was away living in England Jacob most have a lot of time on his hands to keep up the house. More memories began to flood Natasha mind until a familiar voice calling her name pulled her back to reality. Spinning around and looking back down to the end of the drive way, then she saw her, She did not look a day older then she had seen her last, Delilah.

"Of course I remember you, Lilah we could be friends for so long for me to forget about you" Natasha said walking down to her and pulling her into a hug. She did not realize how much she really missed everyone till now. She thought everyone hated her for the way she left packing up and just leaving without much of a goodbye to anyone. " you look amazing just as you did, what thirty years ago" Natasha said smiling like she hadn't in years. It made her realize that maybe it was all the friends she left back in La Push that made her happy, because seeing Delilah made her the happiest she had been in a long time.

Letting go of Delilah and stepping a few paces back Natasha gathered her hair into her left hand and flipped it over her shoulder. "So what is new about La Push after so long there must be something, and what about you? How have you been?" Natasha felt bad for pulling her on the spot but So far she was the only person she knew she had seen in town. Only being there for no more then a hour Natasha expected it, no one knew that she was coming back not even herself a week prior. Something just clicked in ans told her she had to return that she was missed and was needed. So far neither had been confirmed but hopefully some of the information she got from Delilah would make her feel like her decision to return was a right one.

[Delilah Knightly]

Delilah was happy to see her friend once again. It's been forever since she last saw her and that time she was sad. But seeing her, back in La Push once again just made her day. She didn't look old or anything, she just stayed the way she was. Of course no one can tell that she's a mother of two and is enagaged. Natasha was the person that she usually went to when she was in trouble aside from Sam. That time only Natasha, Leah, and her were the only girls in the pack, which was awesome because they were surrounded by guys and get to do things like other girls can't. Phase, eat lots of food and not gaining weight, running, and best of all staying fit.

As she came near her, she hugged her happily. Hearing the compliment, made her laugh. Of course she doesn't look old or anything but she was still a mother of two. Seeing her smile once again, she was happy. She hadn't seen her happy since last time, which was good thirty years ago. Since then everything changed for her and Natasha. Neither of them kept in touch, even though both of them should have. "You look the same too. Same old Tasha." She laughed and looked around the place. Since Jacob and Nessie had moved to their new house, she was missing them, especially Nessie. Now both of them have their hands full.

Delilah looked at Natasha when she heard questions. Everything changed while she was there and she doesn't know if she wants to tell her in the open. "Why don't we go my house and talk there. I don't like talking out here about anything." She said smiling. She couldn't tell how much happy she was, seeing her old friend there. Both of them have things to catch up and stuff. Especially when she finds out about her kids and Noah.

[tash]

" Ya, ya I know I look exactly the same, I just love looking the same after all these year, most women our age are worrying about menopause and their saggy boobs.Some days I think I should have become a model but I think after thirty years of looking so good someone would suspect something. Natasha could help but to laugh at what she had said. She missed being able to talk to someone who was a shape shifter there was never anyone she could connect to in such a level like she did with the pack over the years she was absence.

Delilah then suggested to go back to her house so that they could talk. Natasha shrugged She guessed if She was in La Push might as well not go see where Delilah lived."Sure Lilah," Natasha said there much have been a lot for Delilah to tell her if she wanted to go home, probably a lot of changes in pack and the members life. "I don't know how long I will be in town, but hopefully if everything goes right I will be staying for a while. I really missed being home. No matter where I go La Push will always be the place I get call back to . Natasha ran back ot her car and grabbed her purse and locked her car, before running back to Delilah.


Natasha flung her big leather purse over her shoulder. As the years went by her temper had become easier to control but she always carried an extra set of shorts and a t-shirt in her bag just in case she had to phase quickly for some reason. Natasha smiled back at Delilah, Telling it was okay for them to get going, If she knew the way she would have began walking but she had no clue where Del's house was and there was such a strong shape shifter smell Natasha wold know where to start. "So still live in the house you did before? " She asked curiously.

[Delilah Knightly]

Delilah looked at Natasha as she talked about old people which made her laugh. Leave it to Natasha to make her laugh when things aren't great or for any reason. She adores her because of her sense of humor, personalities, and best of all, her smile just makes people want to smile back at her. It was great to have Natasha back in town. It's been somewhat a year since her return and she wasn't expecting her to be there also. Now that Natasha is there, she knows that things would change. That is if she does decides to stay for good like her.

As she waited for Natasha to come back, she took her phone out and called her house and no one picked up. She was concerned that something might have happened to the twins, Noah, and Noah's mom. Delilah called Noah's cell but he didn't pick up, which made things little worse. She smiled at Natasha and looped her arm through Natasha's and walked towards her house. Having one chance of calling Noah's mom, she hopes that she picks up. She sighed in relief with she heard someone pick up. "Mom, where are you? Are they with you?" She asked looking ahead and smiled on what she said. "Okay, I'm on my way home and can you just drop them at the house and I'll take care of things from there. Thanks." Delilah hanged up on the phone and looked at Natasha, smiling.

Delilah couldn't tell how happy she was to hear that her kids were with their grandmother's house. One thing she doesn't get was why were there in the first place? She'll deal with it later, as of right now, her best friend is in town and she needs to be with her and fill things in. "Same house, just remodeled it inside. After mom and dad died, things have been hectic." When she was pregnant with the twins, she really missed her mother because she wanted her to be there when she gives birth to the twins. Though she knows that she's fine, where ever she is.

[tash]

Hearing a bit of Delilah phone conversation, Somewhat sparked Natasha's natural curiosity level, "I don't want to be too nosy but you said mom when you were talking on the phone...There must have been a lot I missed." Natasha sighed then shook her head. "Well I guess that is my own fault I could have came back years ago, I just felt like thing would be better with me gone." Natasha smile fell a bit from her face. Thinking about why she left in the first place again. She knew the past was in the past but being in La push would stir up some old memories long forgotten. "But I am back now so no need to worry about the past. What about the vampire?Are the pack and the vamps getting along?"

Natasha was once know for having a short temper but over the years she had been able to control it better.Just having a vampire appear in a place they where not allowed to be did not set her off as easily as before. She still had many issues with no-veg vampires, but she at least like the Cullen and besides they were like family, well technically they were family. Natasha smiled and continued to walk down the street still holding on to Delilah's arm.

The wind began to blow and Natasha looked up to the sky, the clouds were getting darker and were beginning to cover most of the remaining bits of blue sky. " I sure don't miss the rain here though, I spend a lot of time in the sun, I think If I could get any tanner I would turn ot dust." Natasha laughed a bit again and her smile was now finally as bright as it as it was before .

[Delilah Knightly]

Delilah was close to her house when she saw the twins and Noah's mother in the driveway. They were wide awake and laughing on something that they heard. She didn't know what to say to Natasha at first but soon she's going have to explain everything to her. "When I say mom, I meant my future mother-in-law. I'm engaged to Noah." She answered, looking ahead at the twins and Noah's mom. She doesn't wear her engagement ring since she has to do things around the house and take care of the twins. Natasha's next question made her little laugh since it's been couple weeks since Jacob, Noah, and Jon took Will down. "The pack gets along with the vampires great. Especially the Cullens. But since there was couple of vampires, Jake, Noah, and Jon took him down." She answered happily even though the mate is around.

She took Tristan in her arms, who started giggling about something. Delilah kissed Tristan's head and Maddie's. "Mom, this is my best friend, Natasha Black. Tasha, this is my mom." She introduced them smiling. 'Tell Noah that he needs to come to my place soon. I have something for him. It's nice meeting you Natasha Black. I love to stay but I have get back to the house.' With that she gave Maddie to Delilah and walked to the house and looked at Maddie who was in her arms. She walked towards the door, smiling at the twins and looked at Natasha. "Can you open the door?" She chuckled and waited.

Looking at the sky, made her sigh since she was planning to take the kids to the park but looks like they just going have to wait. She doesn't mind the rain, instead she loves it. Sometimes, she wishes that she was some other place where it would be sunny and warm.

[tash]

Natasha was in shock Delilah was engaged, and my the look of it the two little babies were her children. Natasha eyes open wide with the shock of it, all the new Information. "Well congratulations, Lilah I never thought you would settle down, well I should say that I know you would someday.Now you have your own little Family it just so nice that your happy." Natasha began top feel like what she had done in her life so far did not really matter, not helping the sick kids or anything, all she gained from it was memories, memories to fill the her somewhat lonely past. They all would grown older and die, but at least they could live a bit longer. She wanted to imprint herself, find someone who loved her back just as much. It made her a bit envious of Delilah.

Hearing that Noah was a wolf, made her a bit happier again Delilah could live as long as she wanted with a shape shifter as a husband she never had to grow old if she didn't want to. "Ya sure" Natasha said in response to getting the door. Natasha ran up the stair and held the door open for Delilah as she held her to precious children. "So what did you name your little ones, they are both very adorable." Natasha smiled but also felt a hint of jealous rise into her thoughts, but she shook her head a bit to drive them away.

There was so many times in the past thirty years Natasha has felt like adopting a child, she had even tried once but the agency said she was too young. Natasha realized it was all for the better because as the child got older she still wouldn't have wanted to age so child would have found out something was up and probably get so scared that he or she would runaway. "So how long have you and Noah been together?"

[Delilah Knightly]

Delilah's life was taken away by Tristan and Maddie. They were adorable kids who doesn't really care about much and loves everyone. After few months they're going to have their first birthday party and she's going to do whatever it takes for her to make the day great for the twins and her and Noah. That day she really wishes that Noah doesn't have patroling or anything kind of business that relates to vampire. She wants to spend some family time with them and celebrate before throwing a big bash for the birthday. It's going to be special and she was already working on it. It's surprise to Noah and since he's been away most of the time, she doesn't really have time to sit down and talk to him.

When Natasha spoke, it made her smile when she could hint out little jealousy in her voice. Being close to her was great because she doesn't need to hide anything away from her. Delilah walked inside the house as Natasha opened the door and set the twins in their playpen. She walked into the kitchen, getting water to drink for both of them. She placed the glass in the tray and walked into the living room, setting it on the coffee table and sat on the sofa. It was time to answer all of her questions and spill everything out that she knows what happened since her return to La Push.

"Thanks, they mean alot to me. Tristan and Maddie are their names, total adorable kids. Actually Noah named Maddie and I named Tristan. Noah and I have been together almost a year. It's a long story there on how we met and so on. I would be happy to tell you if you want to." Delilah laughed on what she said and remembering the time when she met Noah. It was great and she never thought that she would find someone to love and live for and have kids less than a year. "What about you? Anyone in your life?" She asked curiously, even though she knows that she's single by the looks on her face.

[tash]

Natasha fallows Delilah the rest of the way into the house and into the living room. She watched as Delilah placed the twin into the playpen and leave the room, She know she was going ot go get them both a drink. Natasha walked over to the twin and held out her hands for them ans smiled slightly, She though they where both adorable, Natasha never knew if she would have some children of her own but seeing how Delilah was with her kids it made Natasha think it could one day be a possibility.

It only took Delilah a few seconds before she returned to the living room and sit down on the sofa. Natasha looked at the table and saw to glasses of water and left the twins kissing each of them on the head and sitting down. "Tristan and Mattie are both adorable names and it suits the two both very well."Natasha said with a smile then She thought about their age and how long Delilah said she was with Noah and realized they most have not been together long before they had children.

Natasha really wanted to hear Delilah's life story so far being away meant she had missed so much and would love to hear what her best friend had been up to lately. Delilah's life seemed so interesting compared to hers at she would love to hear any of it. "Tell me all you can I life to hear, long story or not It not like am aging." a soft smile appeared across Natasha's face almost looked like she was disappointed in herself.Natasha looked at the floor before looking back up at Delilah and answering her question. " No, I never found anyone I have been really like to have a relationship with also , it sort of sad I don't think I will ever find anyone." Natasha looked a little said but turned her face it in to a toothy grin. "I but that is enough about me."

[Leah Clearwater]

It had been a day just like any other for Leah Clearwater. She had patrolled nearly all night and slept from the minute she got home until the early hours of the afternoon. Being a wolf was not an easy job, especially since she was Jacob's "beta" and right-hand woman. It was her job to make sure that nothing got out of line while he was at home with his wife and daughter. Even though she had a distaste for vampires, she could not ignore the object of her Alpha's imprinting, despite the fact that she was half-vampire and came from a family of vampires. However, thirty years of dealing with it had made Leah more accustomed to her "extended" family outside of the pack, which surmounted to the Cullens.

Stepping outside of her house, she decided to take a run through the Reservation just to stretch her human legs. As she took off, she came near Jacob's old house and caught two distinct scents. She stopped off to investigate, knowing that one of the scents was Delilah Knightly's. The other was more faint, but familiar. She wasn't sure exactly who it was. Why the hell are they at Jacob's old house? she asked herself mentally. No one had really been there since Jacob had gotten married a few months prior. When she got to the house, she saw Delilah standing outside by a car with another girl that Leah immediately recognized. Natasha Black. Walking over, she gave a faint smile to both of them. "Haven't seen you around in years," she said to Natasha.
