A/N: I know I haven't posted anything to Bruce Springsteen's Leah in FOREVER, and I feel terrible about it. I'm sorry. I have had some major writer's block issues. To try and bust out of that I'm attempting to do WitFit (a daily writing exercise for the month of December with the help of prompts from the Fictionista Workshop) I'm using WitFit to write future moments that I have envisioned that I want to get out of my head or just missing moments or scenes from other POV's.

Word Prompt: Lucky break

Not everyone would take in a ragged looking 19 year old. But Nox and Olivia were different. They were my lucky break. Without them, who knows how long I would have wandered the Canadian wilderness. I would have phased back if Nox had said no. I would have forgotten the beautiful lake and the stunning horses. Or at least I would have tried. Siwash was the most beautiful place I had ever seen. I knew instantly that I wanted to make a life there. But I didn't know it would lead me to Carson. Carson understood me in a way that even the other wolves couldn't. Sure we had our rough patches. Finding out that I couldn't have children had been a big one, but finding out that I could had been a bigger one. But that's a different story. We were getting married in two month's time and that was all that mattered to me when I sat down with Olivia to hear her thoughts about the final plans for our new home.

She and Nox were in Siwash for the weekend and I wanted someone else's opinion of my designs before I submitted them to the contractor. In lieu of an engagement present, Carson had handed me a business card for the same contractor that had built many of the cabins in Siwash.

When I looked up at him with a, no doubt, confused look, he said, "I made arrangements for you to meet with him and give him designs for a cabin."

I perked up at that. I needed to make a blueprint for my thesis and this would be the perfect excuse to do so. "This is perfect! You've been talking about adding another cabin or two out past Frontier. And I could use it as my thesis and kill two birds with one stone!"

He looked down at me and smiled, shaking his head. "No, Naika Leloo. This isn't about the new cabins. I want you to design our new home."

"What are you talking about? We've got Outpost," I said, but thinks were starting to click into place and a giddy smile spread across my face.

"Instead of building a new cabin here, we are going to start utilizing Outpost for guests. Jamie is going to be on call at night instead of myself, but most importantly, you and I are going to move into a new house, of your design, off the grounds of Siwash."

During his explanation, I had been bouncing on my toes, and by the end I had thrown my arms around his neck and he swung me around the room. "But where? Where is it going to be?" I asked.

"We will go see it tomorrow; it's just a few miles away. I don't want to completely throw Jamie to the wolves at the end of the night," he said with a smirk. To that I kid-punched him in the shoulder.

The next day we went to see the land and it was beautiful. Lots of trees. Even a small pond. Carson had bought ten acres of land from Nox far enough away that stray hikers and horseback riders shouldn't stray into our property but close enough that we could be back to the Ranch at a moment's notice.

I hadn't seen Oliva in almost three months. I missed her desperately, almost as much as I missed my own mother. When she walked into the lodge and saw me sitting behind the polished dark desk, she ran over to hug me. "Oh, Sweetie, I've missed you!" she exclaimed.

"I've missed you too 'Liv," I admitted.

"So, show me the plans. I have to make sure you aren't going to be surprising Carson with a shack," she said with a smile and a wink.

I moved my laptop off of the desk and unrolled the oversized white paper. I had forgotten a few small details like an outlet for the half/bath and one closet would function better with an accordion door versus a hinged door. Luckily, those changes wouldn't affect the speed at which the project was completed. I wanted to have a little flex-time to finish the house before the wedding. If everything went to plan, I would have about two weeks to throw some paint on the walls and move in a bed and a couch and a couple of other things that would make our new home livable without taking over complete control of the interior design. That would be for Carson and I to do together.

Olivia pulled me out of my daydream with a small cough. "So..." she drug out, looking to the side with her lips pursed. That face always made me laugh because it meant she had something that she wanted to tell me that she wasn't supposed to. I had learned that if I acted disinterested and didn't try to get the information out of her, she was more likely to spill. "Okay, so Nox and I were going to surprise you and Carson with this tonight at dinner but !"she spat out an alarming speed. "We could cater it and your family and Carson's family could all stay here. All that stuff would be on us. This way you don't have to worry about hotel stays or people driving in the day of. They would already be here! I already called your mom and Carson's mom and they think it is a great idea."

Olivia had this crazy look in her eyes that perfectly matched her maniacal smile. There was just one problem- "Most of the cabins are rented out that weekend already. We can't call people and cancel, Liv, as great as that idea sounds"

I had meant my comment to explain to Oliva why her plan, while great in theory, wouldn't work out in execution, but her smile just got wider. "I know. They are all rented out by me. I had the idea a few months ago and had my mom and dad and a few neighbors all call in reservations. I knew you would get suspicious if I did it any other way. Oh baby, don't cry. I'm sorry. If you don't have the wedding here you don't have to. I just wanted to have my bases covered in case you did. I'm sorry. I didn't mean to commandeer your wed-" but I cut her off with an outstretched hand.

"No Liv. It's not that at all. How could I say no to getting married in the most beautiful place I've ever seen? It is what I wanted all along, but I didn't want to take over the ranch."

Olivia stood up and pulled me into a hug. "Sweetie, you should know by now, Nox and I will always give you and Carson anything we can: you're family."
