(A/N: I like this story, but I have this paranoid feeling that you guys are going to hate it. Anyways, this was inspired by the Fray song "Enough for Now." And I might continue it. If you guys don't hate it. Enjoy it if you can!)
The Missing Link
"The century before you, never could turn twenty-one
Years and years he waited, just watching for a son
Someone to go ahead, to take the name he said
Years and years he waited, and a daughter came instead"-The Fray, Enough for Now
She looks exactly like her mother, except for her eyes. Her eyes are clearly her father's.
She doesn't notice Jacob watching at first, but after a few minutes, she asks in a cruel voice what he's looking at.
"Nothing," Jacob mumbles, watching his daughter walk away from him.
He's never met her before, but he knows that it's her.
He doesn't even know her name, but he knows that it's his daughter. The one he left Leah with fifteen years ago.
He still remembers that day, like it was yesterday instead of fifteen years ago.
He told Leah that he needed to leave for a while, to think things through.
Neither of them knew that "a while" really meant fifteen years.
He wonders how Leah's doing-if she still lives in the same place, if she still phases, if she misses him.
Jacob runs to catch up with his daughter. "Where's your mother?" he asks, trying to cover up his eagerness.
The girl eyes him coolly and asks why he wants to know.
Jacob tells her that they used to be friends, and that they haven't seen each other in a long time. It's not a total lie.
His daughter reluctantly takes him to Leah's house. Jacob looks through a small front window and sees Leah sitting in the tiny family room in the front of the house.
They walk in, and Leah doesn't register his presence for a minute.
When she does, she gawks at him, walks up to him, touches his shoulder to see if he's really there.
"Jacob Black." The words aren't accusing, and they aren't loving. They just hang there in between them.
"I'm back," he says, sounding guilty.
"Mom?" their daughter asks Leah. "Who is this?" Her eyebrow raises accusingly.
Leah turns back to her and sighs. "Scarlett," she says, the same emotionless tone still in her voice. "Meet your father."
(A/N: Please let me know if you want me to continue this. I'm kind of afraid to, because I'm horrible with OCs, and I'm worried that if I develop Scarlett's character any more, she'll end up being a Mary-Sue. I couldn't think of a great title for this, but I chose "The Missing Link" because Jacob was missing for so long in Leah's life. Let me know if you see any typos, and reviews are love!)
