A/N: Eight years after BD, mostly Leah's POV…let's get on it!

It's been 8 years since she found out she was pregnant and left La Push, not that she wanted to – hell she wanted to tell the whole world that she wasn't a dead end – but she knew the baby's father would never be able to be with them as a family, simply because he had imprinted on that leech and one day they would get married and have this perfect life and Leah couldn't bare to see that happen again (nope, Sam and Emily had been enough for her), but most of all, Leah wouldn't allow her precious little girl, her miracle, to grow up around those "people", that was out of the question.

Leah was far away thinking all of this when her daughter (gosh she looked just like her dad) sneaked up on her practically shouting

"Mommy, mommy!! Can you put this in the mail?"

"What is it sweetie?"

"It's a letter for Santa!!" she said as she gave me the envelope

"Umm sure honey, I'll put it in the mail first thing tomorrow ok?"

"Ahh mom why not today?"

"Are you serious? Allyssa it's almost your bed time that's why and besides the mail is closed all night, I'll do it tomorrow. Now, give me a kiss and go to sleep young lady!" I pretended to be mad at her so she would stop pouting and go to bed

"Ok but you promise?" she asked, I nodded "Ok! Night mom!!" and she ran off to her room.

It was mid November, a month before Christmas but apparently Allyssa wanted to get to Santa before anybody else did. "I wonder what it is that she wants" I thought out loud holding her letter, I mean, Seth and mom would come as usual (they were the only ones who knew and I made them swear not to tell a soul about it) and I knew she always looked forward to that and that's all she ever wanted for Christmas, her family together (mostly because Seth was the coolest uncle ever). Allyssa wasn't this spoiled brat that always had to have things her way or the coolest shoes or clothes, she was happy the way she was and I made sure that didn't change. Her manners on the other hand was something I had to work on, when she got angry she was impossible – kinda like me before she came along – but nevertheless I was going to make sure she didn't have my bad mouth.

Finally I couldn't stand it anymore, my curiosity took the best of me and even though I knew it was wrong, I couldn't help myself and opened the letter. As I read it, I couldn't believe my eyes, it said:

Deer Santa,

I was a nice girl the hole year. I just want to ask for one thing this Cristmas. Pleas bring my daddy. I want to no him so much.

Love,

Allyssa Clearwater

I ended the letter with tears in my eyes, I slipped my finger on the words she got wrong with a smile on my face and then it hit me: what the hell was I doing? Why wasn't I allowing my girl to grow up with her dad? Why wasn't I allowing Jacob to know his own daughter? What kind of person was I? At that moment, I made a decision: Christmas this year was going to be in La Push and everybody would meet Allyssa and she would meet her father. Immediately I got to the phone, dialed my mom's house and told her the news. She was thrilled of course and as for me…well I could only hope for the best.

A/N: Sorry for any mistakes, please tell me if there are any ok? So…what did you think? Please review!!! I'll try to make the following chapters longer, I promise!!
