La Push, Washington - Thursday Afternoon

[need_no_moon]

The portal has dropped them off at Forks airport and while Jake could appreciate that it'd been a little cheaper, Jake could have done without the dazed looks as they'd shown up with their bike and bags in the middle of the runway

"You're not getting rid of me that easily," Caroline told him, oblivious to his worries as she shoved a few stray hairs behind her ears. The bike was nice, but she could do without looking like road kill by the time they arrived at his dad's house.

"Just making sure, babe," he said, a little more loudly than he cared for. "We're heading into werewolf territory now."

[puppywithatutu]

Caroline reached her arms up over his shoulders (and yes, it took some effort). "So this is the part where we find out if they're unhappy you're bringing me here?" She hated feeling so completely nervous and more than a little scared that she was ruining everything all over again.

"Nah," he shook his head. He already knew that Sam wouldn't be, that wasn't rocket science. "My dad talked to them, they won't give us any trouble."

[puppywithatutu]

"So then why do you seem almost as nervous as I am?" she asked him, tilting her head at him.

[need_no_moon]

"Because it's weird," he admitted. "I haven't been back since I left the pack."

[puppywithatutu]

"So I guess it's your last chance to turn back, too." It was difficult for her to pause her own freakout to remember that he had some messy past here, too.

[need_no_moon]

He let out a breath and reached back to touch her cheek. "I don't do turning back."

One of these days she was so going to call bullshit on that. This was not the day for it, however.

"Well then what are we waiting for?"

[need_no_moon]

"Nothing, I guess," he gripped the steering bar again and kickstarted the bike once more. "Let's go."

Caroline's arms shifted back to his waist and she leaned comfortably against his back to watch the scenery go by. The green aspect was as she'd expected, having visited that part of some other Washington with Jake, but the little shops were just so...quaint. It was like if Mystic Falls had never been industrialized.

Jake pulled the bike up a smaller path before they reached the center of La Push. As much as you could call it a center at least. The drive up to the house was just like before, trees on either side before it opened up to the house, the shed/garage standing a little way behind the house.

The noise of the bike would be enough to draw his dad outside and he stopped the bike in front of the porch again, looking up through a window for a moment where he thought he saw movement. "This is it," he said, probably unnecessary.

What Caroline would give for a moment with a mirror now. She climbed carefully off of the bike and turned around, taking in the cute little separate garage and the pretty front porch. The yard was definitely well taken care of, though she wondered who did that since Jake wasn't around. "It's great," she told him, realizing she'd probably been quiet for longer than he'd like.

[need_no_moon]

He couldn't help being sceptical about this, not when he'd seen her house and he wondered what she really was thinking. He managed a smile, though, grateful that she wasn't turning up her nose.

"It's something," he said, distracted as the front door swung open and Jake couldn't help the grin.

"Could have called ahead, you know," Billy said, wheeling his chair up on the porch to take a look at the two kids in front of his house. "I don't think I'm going to have enough food in the house."

[need_no_moon]

Jake snorted and rolled his eyes. "Liar."

He left the bags on the bike for a moment as he hopped onto the porch to go give his dad a hug.
