I've realised I've made a mistake, this should work now.

As for the circuit if I understand it correctly is this not an monostable oscillator circuit?,
No, it isn't an oscillator, it's a monostable, an oscillator is astable, there's no such thing as a monostable oscillator!

with an off/on/off time? After the 12v pulses the tranisistor I need the circuit timer to count 5 seconds before it does anything. After five seconds I need it give me a 1 second pulse of 12 v. That's it.
That's exactly what is does!
It does provide a 5 second output but you don't have to use it!
You can always use the one second output which occurs after the 5 second output.

No, your understanding of the circuit seems to be the problem. I understand you perfectly, on a 12V trigger pulse you want it to wait for 5 seconds then provide a 12V pulse for 1 second, it alreadey does this, would you like to see a simulation?

Your talking apples still & I want an orange. I'm not proficient in electronics but understanding the problem seems to be the problem.
Your understanding in electronics is alright though you can always learn more, the fact that you've confused monostable and astable shows you lack the knowledge to understand this circuit.

You gave me a 5 second 12 volt ouput. Thanks but that's not want I wanted. I did want the 12 volt 1 secondput though. I want a 5 second delayed ouput.
I've given you both, you don't have to use the 5 second delay if you don't need it, just use the one second output, just connect the relay to output B.
EDIT:
Below is the corrected schematic, I've tested it and it works and I've added the relay to avoid confusion/
