Billy was sitting in his wheelchair outside. He was glad that he had such a great son that was willing to help fix up that old beat up truck they had. Billy had been talking to Charlie and heard that is daughter was to be moving to this town. Billy knowing that he could not drive anymore and that Jacob was working on his own car in the garage that he could not get in his chair had offered to sell the car to him for cheap.
Billy was now driving around looking at him and then smiled taping the side of it. "well oh pal I will miss you but I know that the person that will be getting it needs it more then me. I have a wonderful son that will get me where I need." Billy said to himself and the car. This car had been in the family for a while and Billy was sort of not really wanting to give it up. He need to talk to Jacob and see how the kinks were coming out of it.
"Jacob can you please come out here please." Billy yelled. He loved is son to death with out him he was not sure what to do.

Jacob was slumped on the small couch that was in the living room of the house his father and him shared. The house wasn't much; tiny two bedroom thing with faded red paint and a small porch in the front. The stairs of the porch had been modified into a ramp, by Jacob, to make it easier for his father Billy to wheel up.
In the silence that came between flipping quickly between channels he heard a mumbled call from out front. It was probably Billy, possibly needing help doing something. Jacob pushed his tall frame off the couch, turned the TV off, and walked toward the door.
As he opened the door he called out, "What do you need dad?" He stepped out on to the porch, shutting the door behind him, and walked to where his dad stood by the old Chevy truck.

Billy smiled looking at his son as he started to turn to move around the car looking at it. "So I was wondering did you get this lovely truck fixed up. Charlie said that his daughter Bella you remember her right. She will be here soon and I have sold the truck to them. So it needs to be in tip top shape."
Billy looked at his son. He was so glad that Jacob was there to trust. Billy knew it had to be hard on his son taking care of his old dad. Billy hate not being able to move around as he used to at times he felt like he could do nothing right except make sure hie son knew the local legends.

Jacob's long legs quickly got him to the old Chevy. He looked at it as Billy told him how he had sold the truck to Charlie and his daughter. Jake had been working on the truck and it was now as good as it was going to get.
After looking the truck over he turned his brown eyes on his dad's face. "Yeah, it's pretty good. As good as it's going to get," he told him, "It idles a little high, but that's not a big deal. And for as old as this truck is, that's good." Jacob was a car whiz, it was a hobby of his.
"When are you going to take it to their place, or is Charlie going to come down and get it?" Jacob asked.

Billy looked at his son and smiled. "well we are going to take it to him. That way you can hang with Bella. Plus me and Charlie can watch the game that is coming on."
Billy knew that his son liked hanging with Bella when he was younger. He then started to turn and roll back to the house. Billy had went fishing the other day so he had some of the catch ready to bring with them to eat. "Oh and Jacob you will be driving. Since well I can't."

"We aren't going now?" Jacob asked, his dark eyebrows arching up in confusion. "She isn't in town yet, right?" He followed his dad back up to their house. He tucked his hands into his faded jean pockets.
It was common knowledge in both Forks and La Push that Police Chief Charlie Swan's teen daughter, Isabella Swan, was supposed to be moving back to Forks, Washington. Jacob had only met her a few times when they were younger, and didn't remember too much of it. But according to both Charlie and Billy they did get along. Since Charlie had informed them that his daughter was moving up here, Jacob was excited to meet her.
As Jake continued up the porch ramp after his dad. "I mean I don't mind going up to Charlie's, but I don't think Bella is going to be there," he explained.

Billy laughed. "I know that they will be here tomorrow. Plus I don't trust the cold ones she is new so what will stop them from trying to get her. " Billy knew that the cold ones were not ones to be messed with. He also knew that the other would protect them.
"since Bella is new they might want to go after her blood and i will not let them. So I am getting everything ready tonight so we can go early tomorrow. " Billy looked around trying to find the floor to batter the fish. He was in the kitchen looking around when he saw it up on a shelf he could not reach. He did not want to mess with Jacob so he tried to stand just enough to grab it. Next thing Billy knew was he was falling to the floor and hitting his wheel chair so it rolled away from him.

Jacob raised his eyebrows at his dad's babble about the local tribe legends about the "Cold Ones". He shook his head from side to side. It didn't matter how much Jacob tried to tell his dad that the legends were just myths and stories, he still believed them. In fact, a lot of the elders did. Jacob put it off as old age, making them believe the craziness. "Okay dad," he said quietly.
He watched as his dad tried to reach the flour. "Hey, dad, I'll..." his sentence trailed off as his dad fell from his chair. He quickly ran to his dad's side.
"Are you alright?" he asked, concerned. He reached and grabbed his wheelchair so it was now beside his dad. He lifted his dad into the chair easily and then. "Next time, just ask," he said, still concerned.

Billy looked at his son and smiled nodding. "Well ya I am fine. Just hurt the pride." Billy hated not being able to do some of the things he used to. Now he could not even stand to grab the flour. Billy knew his son was happy to take care of him but it was as if all he did was school and taking care of his old man. He wanted Jacob to have a life outside of him and if he was to busy falling then there would never be a way he would.
"Yes next time I will. So can you get me the flour so that I can make the batter to put on them. I can't seem to reach it. " Billy was trying to reach but really he hated having to ask for help on everything.

"You know, you really shouldn't try and push yourself dad," he told him, "I don't mind having to help you." Jake smiled at his dad. Since Billy had become wheelchair bound, Jacob was the only one around to help. His older twin sisters had left the nest, leaving him and his dad here in La Push. Jacob didn't mind though, he would gladly help his dad.
"Sure, sure," Jacob said, reaching up to grab the flour for his dad. "Here you go," he told him, setting the flour on the counter.

Billy smiled. "okay well want to get the eggs to since you are standing there." Billy knew that he was not suppose to push his self but he also knew that his other son was not going to be there his whole life. He started to put the flour in a bowl though with some other spices that would make it taste just great. He then put the fish out of the bag they were in.
"Son I know I am not suppose to push myself but what am I to do when you leave the nest to. I need to try to get stronger." Billy was not having to lie he knew that Jacob would understand.

Jacob grabbed the eggs from the fridge and handed them to his dad.
He shrugged his shoulders at his dad's question. "You don't really have to worry about that for a while," he told him. "And who knows, I may never move out." Jacob laughed at the last part. It was highly unlikely he would stay here. Jacob had lived in La Push his whole life, the only other place he's ever been was Forks. And that didn't really count since it was only 15 minutes from the rez. Jacob was a free spirit and wanted to explore other areas besides Washington.
But at the same time, this area was all he knew. He had grown up here, he had a lot of roots here. Friends, and Billy of course, were all here. He shrugged his shoulders again, this wasn't something he needed to worry about now.

Billy looked at his son putting a cracked egg in one of the bowls and starting to batter the catfish for their trip to forks tomorrow. He did not know what to say when his son said he would not leave but he knew his son better then that.
"well I still need to work getting stronger. Come one if you look around I'm the only one on the Reservation that has to be in a wheel chair and I'm not that old. Besides how am I going to get away from the cold ones if they show up someone in Forks. Since I am safe here." Billy knew he was not going to fight it for long. So he just kept working on what he was doing thinking about how his son was such a great person.
"Jacob promise me this. When you can move out you will not just stay here because of me. I want you to be happy okay." Billy looked at his son.

"Start lifting weights if you want to get stronger dad," he mumbled, "Don't try by doing to much and hurting yourself. You can lift weights in your chair while you're watching TV." If his dad really wanted to do this Jacob would take it upon himself to go find his dad something to lift with.
"Yeah, you're the only one," he said, "And everyone else is willing to help you if you need it." It was true. Everyone on the rez was willing to help the other, so if Jacob did move out down the line, it was certain that someone would be around to assist Billy.
"Dad, the cold ones are not going to get you," he held back a laugh, "I mean according to the stories they aren't allowed on the reservation. And you don't leave this place often." A small laugh escaped his lips.
Jacob's face got serious as his dad asked him to promise him something. "Fine dad, I won't stay here just because of you." Jacob didn't look at his dad's face as he promised, instead, he watched Billy prepare the fish. He didn't want to make the promise, because what if his dad needed him to stay? But to make Billy happy he went with it.

Billy finished with the fish and put them in the pan to cook up so that he could put them in the bag to take over there. Billy then looked at his son. "fine I will start by lifting weights to get stronger. I won't try and over do myself."
Billy watched them getting ready to flip them when needed. "I know all the others will help out. You know that the problem is that I'm stubborn and don't want to have help. Why is it in just like 6 years I go from walking to the chair. All I am good for is being an elder on the council and then making sure all the little ones know about the cold ones. I know they are not allowed to be on the Reservation but I bet there are some in Forks."
