A/N: This will probably be a three part, I have it all wrote ad ready to post. It is blackwater, it will eventually turn romantic and is filled with angst,

Disclaimer: sure sure

Leah clearwater hated children. They were whiny, clingy and she didn't understand why but their hands were always so goddamned sticky. The first time she remembered not liking children was the day Seth Clearwater was brought home from the hospital.

Leah was 6 at the time. She had spent the night at the Blacks with her friends Rachel and Rebecca and their annoying little brother Jacob.

She used to think he was cute but now he could walk, he followed them around everywhere they went. They had to be quiet when it was his nap time, they had to watch what he wanted on TV. They had to wait at lunch time until he was fed before they got anything, and when they were colouring in that morning he had to join in.

Against her better judgment, Leah had let him borrow her colouring pencils. Her mummy had bought them for her the day before, telling her she was a 'big girl now' and big girls had their own pencils.

She had just finished her picture, she had coloured inside the lines and everything, she was going to show it to her mummy and daddy as soon as they came back from where ever they were. Jacob waddled over on chubby legs and scribbled all over her picture, grinning up at her.

'Jacob!' Cried Leah promptly snapping the pencil out of the little boys hands, causing his eyes to water just like he had caused hers too.

'Now Leah…' Sarah Black tried to calm down the little girl as she lifted her son into her arms and tried to soothe him.

'He destroyed my picture,' she hiccuped, before dropping her pencils, 'and he got my pencils all sticky!'

The high pitch tone of Leah's voice caused Jacob to cry louder, making leah cover her ears.

'Now Leah, he's only a baby,' reasoned Sarah, as Leah pouted and crossed her arms over her chest.

' I want to go home,' Leah demanded just as the door to the Black's house opened, 'mamma!' Leah cried out running towards her parents.

'Now Leah be carful,' her father spoke softly lifting up his daughter, and that's when Leah noticed the bundle in her mother's arms. 'Leah, this is you baby brother Seth.

Leah glanced back at Jacob who was leaning out of his mother arms to get a better look at the baby, her eyes drifted over to her destroyed picture and sticky pencils lying on the floor, before landing on the twins who had matching sympathetic expressions on their faces.

Leah promptly burst into tears again.

Leah Clearwater hated children, take your eyes off them for less than a second and they were causing havoc. Especially the pale accident prone ones who were old enough to know better.

When she was fourteen she was one of the oldest on the riz and therefore got lumbered looking after the younger children at community events. It was okay when they were younger and there wasn't much they could get up to but the older they got the more mischief they got up to. She didn't mind at first, Samuel Uley used to help her, and she had the biggest crush on him ever. He was so Brooding. And older. All the children were scared of him so they did what he told them. But then he got friendly with Paul..

It was the first Friday of the summer and all the families in La push had made their way to the beach for a BBQ. Leah and the twins had been looking after the kids making sure they weren't wading too far into the water.

Sam had started off helping them, he'd warned them all before they went into the water off the dos and don't's, and the consequences if they did the don'ts. but when Rebecca brushed Paul off once again causing him to storm off in a sulk, Sam went running after him.

'God becca,' Leah huffed, 'we both know you like Paul, so why don't you let him hold your hand and get over it.'

'His hands are all sweaty,' she argued her nose scrunching up. As she glanced over at her twin, looking longly on the direction were Paul just stormed off . Becca had always caught the eyes off the boys over her twin.

'Come on everyone, grubs up,' Leah cupped her mouth with her hands, and shouted in the directions of the smaller ones.

Leah mentally counted the head off everyone as they left the water.

'Were missing two,' panicked Rachel as Seth rushed towards the shore. 'Were's Bella and Jake!'

'Bella's not a strong swimmer, Jake went to help her and now I can't find either of them,' Seth panicked.

'I'll go get Chief swan,' Rebecca began running in the directions of the adults.

'Damn Bella,' leah and Rachel muttered as Leah tugged off her shoes and pulled her waist length her up out of the way as she ran into the water.

Bella was chief Swan's daughter. She only visited in the summer time, and every time she managed to get herself In trouble.

'Jacob! Bella!' Leah cried out when she waded in far enough her feet didn't touch the bottom. When she couldn't spot anyone, the panic set in. 'Bella!' She cried out turning around in circles in the hopes of spotting someone, 'jacob'

'Leah!' She finally heard Jacob calling as he swam towards her, the closer he got it became clearer that he was balancing Bella under his right arm and using his left to swim.

'Jesus!' Leah cried meeting him half way, and helping to support Bella, 'jake, I told you not to go too far. You promised you'd keep an eye on Bella, you know she's co-ordinality challenged,'

Jacob rolled his eyes as his feet finally touch the sand at the bottom of the water.

'The tided pulled her out, I told her she shouldn't have went in that far, she got tired from all the swimming,' Jacob explained as we reached the shore and helped settle Bella on the sand.

'I'm sorry Leah, I didn't mean to,' an eleven year old Bella spoke through chattering teeth.

Leah couldn't lie, she probably hated Isabel swan more than she hated most of her brothers friends. She was clumsy, awkward and my God was she boring. She clearly hated coming to visit her dad every summer and she didn't even try to hide it.

Chief swan was a pretty cool person, he came on fishing trips with Leah, her dad, billy, Jacob and Seth. Neither of them were very good at it, so Leah usually went in his boat and they would play eye spy until it was time to come home. Bella came once, she got sea sick and they had to leave early.

He made a lot of effort to make sure Bella had a good time, but she didn't seem to put the same effort in.

All of those things really annoyed Leah, but if she was being honest, she guessed Jacob's crush on her annoyed her the most. Everyone in la push knew that Jacob had a silly little crush on Leah, and if Leah was being honest, she thought it was kinda cute, he would follow her around, doing back flips to get her attention, that is until Bella come into town last week.

And now it's like she doesn't exist.

'It's okay Bella,' muttered Leah, knowing that this wouldn't be the last time something would happen to her on her watch this year.

When Charlie reached them with a picnic blanket it was scary how calm he was.

'What are we gonna do with you bells,' he sighed, wrapping the blanket over her shoulders and leading her towards the food table.

'That girl is gonna get you killed some day jakey,' Rachel murmured, wrapping her arm over her brothers shoulder.

They didn't know how true that statement actually was.
