 "Landon Uley" The principal announced as my baby stood from the last row of students to walk across the same stage Sam and I had walked to accept our own diplomas so many years ago. The whole back row stood to cheer for my baby as he shook hands with the principal, a thousand watt smile gracing his face. Sam's arm wrapped around my waist, pulling me close as we cheered and clapped. Tears began to run down my face with my pride for my boy.

Everyone came to our house after the ceremony had finished for a big party. I couldn't help but smile as I looked around at all our family and friends once again gathered in our back yard. We hadn't had many gatherings here since Sam had passed off alpha to Jacob when I became pregnant with our oldest. Tyler was now twenty eight years old with a wife, Megan, and a baby on the way. He and Megan are so excited, but refuse to tell anyone what they are thinking of naming their son.

Our daughter, Natalie is now twenty five and still as much of a daddy's girl as the day she was born. She practically has Sam wrapped around her finger and bending to her will with a simple smile. She's engaged to Jared and Kim's son Michael. They've planned their wedding for this coming spring after she finishes her degree in teaching and biology. She's already been offered a place at the high school when the current biology teacher retires.

And lastly my baby boy, Landon Charles. He hadn't been planned but was an absolute blessing in disguise. I found out I was pregnant with him only a month after dad had died of pancreatic cancer nineteen years ago. He brought the happiness back into our lives that had escaped with dad's death. Thankfully the house was always a center of constant activity. It had always been from the day Jared joined the pack and even now with everyone having their own families there was nice flow of people coming to the house to keep us company.

Since the pack helped the Cullens destroy Victoria's army of newborns there had been very few vampires to come through the area. The pack had remained at only ten members and had slowly shrunk as the members decided to grow old with the one's they love and start families. We had only one major vampire event a couple years ago when a couple of vampires had killed on the reservation and hung around. This caused three of our children to phase, Tyler, Jared and Kim's son Michael, and Embry and Ashlynn's son Kaiden. It was the one time that I was truly thankful that the guys had phased. They helped the boys through everything including imprinting.

All the boys had imprinted within six months of their phasing. Tyler on Megan, Micheal on Natalie and Kaiden on Paul and Emily's daughter Lillian. Sam had been enraged the day he found out that his little girl had been imprinted on. All he could think of was that he was losing her to a boy, but Michael was great to her and Sam didn't stay mad long. Simply clinging to Natalie a little harder and trying to strike fear into the very heart of the poor boy that we'd known since the day he was born. Jared, Kim and I had found it all extremely amusing, along with the rest of the pack. Paul hadn't taken to Kaiden imprinting on Lily much better, but Emily had managed to calm him down before he attempted to kill Kaiden, Paul still being the most hot headed of the pack.

"Aunt Sunny!" Andrew called as he ran toward me. I smiled brightly as I opened my arms to the teenage boy. Andrew was Collin's son. Poor Collin had been tricked by a women much like Jacob had been by my sister, but accidentally got her pregnant. The moment Andrew was born she dumped him with Collin and left. While all this had happened Collin had confided in Sam and I and when Andrew arrived Collin brought him around often. I did my best to be to Andrew what Natalie Cameron had been to me when I was growing up.

"You're as beautiful as ever Aunt Sunny." Andrew said kissing my scarred cheek giving me a sly smile. I grinned as I stepped back.

"You know I made I caramel cake for later didn't you?" I asked suspiciously. It was Landon and Andrew's absolute favorite.
