{.....tag Garrett......Almost a year post Breaking Dawn....}
Spending time away together had been a united decision neither wishing to be crowded, even by family, while they explored the start of their life together. However, it was Kate’s growing desire to return home that shifted their trip towards the white mountains of Alaska.
In the almost year since leaving the Cullen’s and their new child, Kate had fallen more and more in love with Garrett exploring the world together and sharing with him the new world of a vegetarian. Now, a few months short of a full year she missed her family and felt both they and Garrett were ready for a more long term communal living arrangement. Bringing him into the Denali Coven was the next big hurdle in the life they were sharing.
Slowing to a walk, still faster then a human stride, as the land began to grow whiter Kate breathed in the crisp air of the rising altitude. She could smell the snow and the coming fall above all else, even above the scent of the animals nearby. “We’ll be home before dark.” She called to Garrett unsure for certain if he was behind of ahead of her with the competitive speed they both held. Home, it sounded like an almost mythical fantastical place.
Coming to rest just outside the woods Kate again took a deep breath savoring the air and the moment. “Garrett?” She said gently wanting him to share it with her and she wanted them to share everything.

The past year with Kate had been amazing. Garrett never knew that having a mate to travel with would feel this nice. He never knew that it would really make him feel complete. It was something he had been missing for centuries, without even realizing it.
While the time together had been wonderful, his transition to becoming a vegetarian vampire for her had been more challenging. He knew that if he was to return with her to Denali, where her family was (and where he knew she wanted to eventually be), then he would need to abstain from human blood. But doing so proved to be difficult and challenging. After living for so long on human blood, the taste of animal blood never seemed satisfying for the thirst. He had found himself feeding more often at times to try to make up for it, and frustrated by the taste. But Kate had been patient with him. It was true that they had needed this time together to grow closer as a couple, but Garrett had also needed the time himself to become a vegetarian.
Garrett could see that Kate had been missing her home in the time that they were away. While he still hadn't perfected his control over his diet, he had agreed to go back with her now. He had promised her from the start that he'd follow her anywhere. He had been lucky that she had decided to go off with him and explore the world a bit. It was familiar territory for him as a nomad, but he always knew she would want to return to the rest of the Denalis. He could only hope now that the time had come that he could fit in with them.
He heard her call his name as they ran and moved up beside the spot where she had stopped, encompassing her in his arms as he kissed her neck from behind. He was no longer worried about the possibility of getting shocked whenever he touched her. He knew that yes, sneaking up on her might cause that as a reaction, or if he pissed her off she might shock him, but they had been close enough over the past almost year together that touching her seemed both natural and comforting to him. "Yes Kate? Not changing your mind about bringing me home to the family I hope?" He asked with a smirk.

A change of diet was hard for any species and often impossible, Kate had hoped it would be easier for Garrett though she knew regardless she’d be there with him every step. It was a slow process, but she was confident in him. If she wasn’t confident he was almost swayed to her family’s diet she wouldn’t have returned home so soon.
Calling to him gently as she slowed to a stop she waited for him to come beside her. His arms around her made her smile, his lips on her neck sent a shiver of passion through her veins. A year ago, and longer, such unexpected touch would have sent a shock radiating from her body to disable the other person, but now she would never do that to Garrett.
Turning her head to him as he spoke she smiled. “Are you changing your mind about coming home, Garrett?” She asked with her own smirk answering his question with one of her own. The sound of his name on her lips still made her smile, I nth passed year they’d spent together she’d never taken their time together for granted even for a second. Falling in love with him was a constant ever happening process. “Just over that hill is our house…though I’m not sure anyone will be home or even in the area.” She said. They decision to return had been a spare of the moment thing and now she wished they’d called or sent word ahead, been home and not seeing her family would be harder then not seeing them at all.

"I haven't changed my mind at all" Garrett reassured her honestly. He had his worries about his abilities to remain abstinent from human blood, and to fit in within the confines of a coven, settling down in any one place with one group of people he was meant to learn to trust. But he wouldn't change his mind about following her here. It was her home and he wanted to be with Kate more than anything.
He smiled as she mentioned how close they were to her house. He knew the family would be glad to see Kate again and was sure that she felt the same way . "If they are home I'm sure they'll be ecstatic to see you again, I'm sure they've all missed you greatly. I've stolen you away from them for long enough" He told her with a smile.
He leaned in closer to her, knowing they were still far enough away not to be overheard by her family but still keeping his voice low. "I'll try my best not to disappoint you Kate" He said, knowing mistakes he made would reflect onto her for bringing him in.

If he’d have said he’s changed his mind Kate wasn’t sure what exactly she would have done. She wasn’t sure a dead heart could break, but she was sure her own heart would hurt in the same way. To lose Garrett would kill her, or at least she was sure she would seek out death without her mate. “Good.” She smiled letting all the worries drift away at his touch and words.
“You can steal me away whenever and for however long you want to. I just, occasionally, need to see my brother and sisters.” She said honesty, knowing that once she’d seen they were well she would leave with him again if he wished or felt he needed more time to adjust. It was about him and his time now and Kate knew she would wait with him an eternity for that. “I’m yours, you can steal me away anytime. Though its not stealing if I go willingly.” She smiled.
That could never happen and Kate knew it, she trusted Garrett and knew how well he was doing. “You could never disappoint me.” She said leaning back to look up at him her arms reaching up around his neck to pull his lips to hers. Kissing him gently for a moment before pulling back. “You are amazing, nothing will ever make me view you any different.”

"And we can see them whenever and for however long you want" Garrett reassured her just the same, appreciating her willingness to allow him to take her away again if he needed or wanted to. He knew she could probably sense his apprehension about remaining in one place too long, but he really did want to try it. He wanted to experience the family life she had created, and hoped given time, he might be considered a real part of that as well, and have the desire to see the others as strongly as Kate did.
He smiled at her as she clarified that it wasn't stealing if she went willingly. "Good to know...although I think they'll still view it as me stealing you...either that or that the crazy revolutionary has brainwashed you" He said with a laugh.
Garrett's promise to try not to disappoint her had been said with complete sincerity, knowing it was something he would strive against. Despite her reassurances he knew he could easily slip and disappoint her, or get to the point where he felt the need to roam the world again. He frowned slightly until she kissed him, then giving her a slightly worried smile. "I'm sure there's plenty I could do to change that but I'll try not to"
