A/N: Well I love the Leah character, but I think she's pretty misunderstood in the series. So here is my attempt at portraying her side of the story... Enjoy ;)
Disclaimer: Unfortunately I was not smart, talented or quick enough to come up with Twilight therefor I do not own Twilight or anything associated with it. Darn.
Wish Upon a Star
"Not much further" He whispered, his warm breath sending shivers spirally down my back. "We're almost there..."
"Sam, where are we? How much longer" I asked with one arm tightly wrapped around his waist and the other hesitantly stretched out in front of me.
"Would be a lot faster if you weren't so slow!" He teased.
I came to an abrupt stop and put my hands on my hips, "You blindfolded me!" I shot back, stamping my foot in mock anger. "I could always take it off and ruin everything..." I threatened with a smirk.
"You asked for it girl." Was his quick reply as he untangled himself from my grasp.
"Sam! Wha –ahhhh" I shrieked as my legs were knocked out from under me and I felt myself being thrown over his shoulder.
"Better?" He asked smugly.
"Guess that growth spurt came in handy" I laughed back, exploring his muscled back with my hands.
He chuckled and then marched on in silence while I thoroughly enjoyed my ride, happily breathing in his blessed scent. It took us another 15 minutes to get to his desired location, mostly uphill but not once did I hear him strain or struggle with his extra burden.
"We're here Beautiful" Sam murmured softly as he gently lowered me to my feet. "Just stay there for one second, don't take it off yet".
Using my other senses I tried to figure out where we were. I could smell a fire and there was definitely a salty fragrance, possible the ocean and – My wonderings were interrupted by two warm arms encircling my waist from behind. He gently kissed my cheek and then my blindfold was carefully slipped off my face. I gasped. We were on the highest cliff top in La Push, hanging right over the ocean. The stars were lighting up the entire sky, their reflections dancing upon the water surface. I looked to my left and the small fire Sam had made was happily crackling away, next to the fire he had set up a picnic rug and carefully laid out a delicious array of foods. The edge of the cliff was lined with candles and there was a huge love heart with the words 'I love you' spelt out in white rose petals.
My eyes brimmed with tears as Sam moved to stand in front of me holding a huge bunch of roses and said, "I love you Baby, so incredibly much. I know that you're the girl for me and I can't wait to spend forever with you. Happy Anniversary Sweetie." I threw myself into his waiting arms, tears streaking down my cheeks. "I love you too Sam, so much!" He held me tightly in his arms, his lips peppering my hair with soft kisses as I thanked God, the heavens, the Universe for giving me the incredible man in my arms.
Breaking our embrace he took my hand and led me to the centre of the petaled heart. Pulling me close once again he started to hum as we spun in circles in the moonlight. Surprisingly the usually klutzy Sam was uncharacteristically light on his feet. "You've been practicing," I noted happily.
He blushed, "yeah my Mum taught me. I've been practicing for weeks. Don't tell the guys..." He joked.
"I won't. But it'll cost you." I joked back.
"Oh yeah? And what exactly is that?" He murmured while softly pressing kisses on my neck.
Momentarily distracted I almost forgot what we were talking about, "hmm, I think a lifetime of servitude will just about do it" I said smiling sweetly.
His lips continued exploring along my collarbone and back up my neck, "Baby, I'm already your prisoner for life." He teased as he pressed a soft kiss on my lips.
Pressing my lips hard against his, I entangled my hands in his hair losing myself in the moment. I continued kissing him until I was sure my heart was going to jump right out of my chest. I gently pulled back and placed my hands over Sam's heart enjoying the hard thumping against my palms. "Sammy, we don't want to waste all this beautiful food. I know you must be hungry," I said gesturing to the abandoned picnic. I almost laughed out loud as I saw the conflict in his eyes, torn between me and the glorious banquet that was waiting. Making the decision for him I grabbed his arm and tugged him towards the rug, "come on, on Lover Boy. Food first, plenty of time for all that boring stuff later" I teased.
Sam laughed as he obliging followed me to the picnic rug with the biggest smile on his face. I was shocked at the amount of food he'd brought. Chicken, roast beef, bread, roast vegetables, steamed veggies and I had a sneaking suspicion there was dessert to come. I briefly thought about the nuisance of having to carry it all back down the mountain, before remembering the huge appetite Sam had grown in the last year. He was like an eating machine, and I knew that by the end of the night there would be nothing left to carry. Turning my attention back to Sam I scooped generous portions of everything onto a plate and handed it to him before dishing up some for myself.
Hours later we lay down on the picnic rug with our stomachs full and our hearts overflowing. Sam put his arm around me and I lay my head on his broad chest contentedly, gazing at the stars. "This has been the most perfect night. I wish it didn't have to end," I murmured.
"That's the beauty of it Baby, it doesn't have to. You and I, we will never end. We'll always be together. Every night will be as special as this one just cos we have each other..." He whispered, softly tucking a loose strand of hair behind my ear.
"I love you Sam."
"I love you too Leah"
Sam carefully sat up, pulling me into the shelter of his arms. "What do you think about kids Leah?"
"About what? Kids? Why?" I asked a little shocked that'd he'd bring such a topic up.
"Just wanted to see what you thought... Just want to make sure that the woman I plan to spend the rest of my life with is on the same page as me." He chuckled. "Can't you see us having kids one day Leah?" He pressed.
"To be honest I've never really thought about it before. What brought this up?" I asked.
"Well we've been together 3 years now and we're graduating next year. I can't believe you haven't thought about it, I mean I've practically mapped out our lives!" He exclaimed. "Does that freak you out?" he rushed on looking a bit worried.
"No, of course not." I smiled up at him, "you're the only one I ever want to be with. Although you've got me intrigued with this life plan. What exactly have you got mapped out? "
"Well firstly we need to graduate, and then we'll either go away to college together or maybe take some classes at a local community college, I guess it all depends on our results at school," he laughed. "And then we'd get married, buy a nice bit of land in La Push and eventually start a family. I'm thinking we'll have 2 kids, a boy and a girl."
"Oh will we? And what will their names be?" I teased him.
"Well, we'll name our little girl Susie, after your Mother and we'll name our boy Paul, after ... well after Paul." He grinned.
"Paul? What? Why would we name our child after your dumb friend?" I cried.
"I lost a bet to him a couple years back, now I have to name my first born after that obnoxious twit." He grimaced.
I burst out laughing, "I think we'll be able to live with that, as long as our daughter isn't born first!"
"Oh no, I didn't even think of that!" He cried with an exaggerated smack to his forehead. "Oh well, I guess we can always skip town when you get pregnant."
"Sounds good to me," I smiled up at him. "It all sounds perfect." And with that I returned my gaze to the heavens and silently lifted up a prayer to the stars. 'Please let life be all that he says. I wish that we'd never have to be apart. Ever.' Sam pulled me in tight and I snuggled happily into his chest, content to dream about the future and all that it held...
