"Better Days" Is my new story which is a continuation of "One Day" you might want to read that first before reading this story if you want some background on how Leah and Jacob have come to be together! If not it shouldnt be to hard to just jump into this story (I hope)

So just a heads up there will be three new shifter's two of them wont play a major role in this story and will hardly be mentioned... I know your probably think "Why add them then?" and my answer will be because they add to the fact that things are not getting better and something is coming to La Push... (remember they only shift when vampires come into the area) and the other shifter is extremely important and will be in almost every chapter... For those of you that hate new character added I understand but give it a chance like three chapters and If i haven't sold you on it then your free to go! lol -P

I'm only going to say this once so I can stop adding it the beginning of every freak'n chapter!

Washington State:

The trees passed by in a blur as Leah stared out the window of their truck. The roads started to become more familiar to her signifying that they were getting closer to their childhood home. Twisting her wedding ring nervously Leah took a deep breath to calm her nerves. Although Jacob came to visit many time over the past nine years, she only made quick phone calls to Sue to let her know she's alive. When the others called she made sure to leave the house immediately to avoid speaking with them especially if the phone call was from an Uley after two years of trying they just stopped calling all together and she was perfectly happy about it.

"Jake, pull over?" She asked as her nerves made her nauseous.

"Are you ok?"

"Just pull over…" she growled out.

Quickly maneuvering the truck onto the side of the road Lee jumped out as it came to a stop. Walking a few feet into the surrounding forest she walked up to tree and rests her head upon it. She could hear as Jacob got out of the truck to follow her, his warm hands rested on her shoulders as she tried to pull herself together.

"We only have ten more minutes to enjoy our privacy…" Leah said not moving from her position at the tree.

Chuckling Jacob started to massage her shoulder to help relieve some of her tension.

"You know if you came to visit or I don't know actually called one of them this probably wouldn't be so bad…" Jacob said sarcastically.

Shrugging him off she turned around to look at her husband. "Jake I'm scared that one of them and by one of them I mean Paul, is going to piss me off so badly that I phase."

Pulling her into one of his massive bear hugs he rubbed his nose in her hair as he spoke.

"I won't let that happen, Just say the word Lee and we will take off..."

"Promise?" she asked into his chest.

"I promise." He said taking her hand to lead her back to the truck.

"That or I'll just kill Paul… I know that will make you smile." He joked opening the truck door for her.

Smiling Leah hopped in saying. "You always know just what to say to make me happy!"

Laughing Jake walked around the truck to get in; taking off again they quickly made it into La Push and soon pulled up to her childhood home. Jacob was first to jump out and went to grab their bags from the truck bed throwing them over his shoulder he came around to her door and knocked three times on the window. Leah took a deep breath before opening the door and stepping out; the smells of her childhood home surrounded her bringing her an odd sense of peace and panic.

Jacob took her hand into his as they made their way up the steps of her mother's house. Knocking on the door Jake pushed the door open before calling out.

"Anyone home?!"

They heard a squeal coming from the kitchen as Sue popped out, coming into the living room Leah walked quickly to her mom taking her into her arms holding on tight.

"Hi mom!"

"Ahhh my baby is finally home!" Sue cheered as she started rocking them side to side in their hug. Looking at Jacob she released Leah and turned to Jacob.

"Come here!" Sue smiled as he took her into his arms and hugged her back.

"Hi Sue."

"That's mom from now on!"

Leah was smiling as her husband and mom hugged each other. Listening as they heard a car pull up to the house, they could hear as Seth and Billy's voice carried into the house. Jacob walked out to help his dad leaving the women in the house.

"Let me get a look at you." Sue said taking both of Leah's hands and looking her daughter up and down.

"You look exactly the same! Doesn't look like you aged a day!"

"Yeah it's kind of the side effect of turning into a hairy wolf."Leah joked with her mom.

They had decided not to tell anyone that Leah has stopped phasing. It wasn't anyone's business what they did in their marriage and explaining to everyone that they have been trying for child will only add to her stress every time they find out they're not.

"Let me see the ring." Sue said dropping Leah's right hand to take her left hand in both her hands, looking at Sarah's old wedding ring brought tears to Sue's eyes. "It's beautiful on you sweetie, she would be so happy to see you two together."

"Thanks mom, Look I'm sorry about the wedding…"

Dropping Leah's hand Sue waved away her apology.

"I'm not going to lie, I'm upset that we weren't there, but I know how much you like your privacy…"

Leah felt like shit for not including her mother and family in their wedding, but it had all happened so quickly. Her mother had known about their engagement and she had explained everything over the phone. They planned on coming home for a small ceremony with just their parents, but one morning over two months ago she and Jake had laid in bed when Jake told her he couldn't wait another day without being married to her. So she texted Alice and asked how quickly she could throw together a wedding and that night they married in the Cullen's living room surround by thousands of candle and their closes friends.

"I'm sorry again mom…"

"It's fine sweetie…"

"WHERE IS SHE?!" Billy shouted as Jacob rolled him into the house.

Billy took control of his chair and rolled over to Leah, bending down Leah hugged Billy giving him a kiss on the cheek. Billy took her hand and looked at the ring he gave Sarah what felt like a life time ago. Giving the ring a kiss Billy gave her hand a squeeze as he looked up at Leah.

"Welcome to the family."

Jacob came to stand next to Leah wrapping his arm around her shoulder as she spoke.

"Thank you Billy."

Seth came through the door getting off his cell phone.

"Hey sis!" Seth said coming in to hug her hello as he continued speaking.

"So Emily just called and everyone just got there so we can head over when you're ready."

"I'm ready, how about you babe?" Jacob asked Leah.

"Might as well get it over with…"

Nodding Sue headed into the kitchen to grab a bowl from the fridge returning to the living room she address Jacob and Leah.

"Oh just so you know nobody knows your married, we decided that if you could secretly get married you can tell everyone your damn self!…" Sue smiled with an evil look at Leah and Jacob. It was the only way Sue and Billy could think of getting back at their children for being denied the chance to see them marry.

Leah looked shocked between Sue and Billy.

"What the hell mom!" Leah growled out.

"Language LEAH!" Sue scorned her daughter.

Jacob just laughed. "It's fine, it could be fun babe." He said shaking her shoulder.

Groaning Leah shook her head as she started walking out of the house…

Uley house:

Emily had just pulled out the next batch of muffins from the oven when she heard cars pulling up to her house. Placing the muffins on the rack to cool she wiped her hands on a dish towel and walked out the front door. She watched on the porch as her cousin got out of the truck they arrived in, Leah wore a flowing white sheer shirt with a white tank top underneath and tan pleather shorts. She still looked the same as the day she left nine years ago. Emily had a moment of insecurity as her still beautiful cousin made her way up the drive way. Emily knew she looked much older now at the age of thirty-two and has gained a lot of weight over the years. Comparing herself to her cousin's healthy physique made her self-esteem take a nose drive. Putting on a brave face she waited until Leah stood in front of her before she spoke.

"Leah! I'm so happy your home!"

Smiling Leah hugged Emily.

Might want to lay off the muffins Em… She thought sarcastically.

"I'm happy to be here." She lied.

Emily turned to Jake giving him quick hug as well, Jacob and Seth pushed Billy around the house into the back as the women followed Emily into the house. Sue walked into the kitchen to set down her bowl and headed into the backyard to join the others. Once inside Leah took a look around and noticed that the house still looked the same with a few changes here and there. She froze as she noticed children's toys sitting in a toy box in the corner of the living room. Leah's heart rate started to pick up with the thought of Sam and Emily having a kid, she didn't remember anyone telling her that they had a child.

This can't be happening…. Leah thought as anxity took over.

Following Leah's line of vision Emily noticed her staring at the box of Daniels toys in the corner. Coming back to stand next to Leah Emily went on to explain.

"Those belong to Daniel Goldfeather. He lives with us now."

"Goldfeather? Heather and Jimmy Goldfeather's son?" Leah asked.

"Yeah… Did you hear about what happened?"

"I know they passed away, but why is he living here?"

Confused that Leah didn't know Emily started talking. "He phased about two months ago…"

Leah couldn't hide her shock, he couldn't have been any older that six or seven. Emily began to tell her the story about how Daniel was five and a half when they passed away and had gone to live with Heather's sister Janette. Leah had known the sisters in school Heather was a sweet loving girl and was born to be a mother and wife, but her sister Janette didn't have a nurturing bone in her body always drunk or high and letting any man she met into her pants. Leah really didn't need to hear the rest to known that what was to come was going to be horrible. Emily explained that Janette had boyfriends in and out of her house that would push Daniel around so he started acting out in school and with other children. She made Daniel in charge of clean the entire house doing her laundry, cleaning up after her and things of that nature, when he wasnt cleaning he had to stay in his room away from her and the friends she had over. When he was punished she would make him stand in the corner for hours on end. He had to fend for himself everyday because she would go out till all hours of the night sometimes not coming home for one or two days at a time. Finally one day he had come home from school to Janette waiting for him she had told him that she was pregnant and that there wasn't enough room in her house for both him and the new baby so she was going to give up her guardian rights to him at the request of her new boyfriend. He had started shaking, losing his control and ran out of the house.

"Once in the woods he phased letting his wolf take over from what Sam had said and he took out two leeches on his own…"

"Two on his own?" Leah was shocked.

"Yeah Sam had seen everything that had happened with Janette so we went over to her house the same night to talk to her. She had her boyfriend over and they were sitting on the couch watching TV when her nephew was missing. I wanted to punch her in fucking face!" Emily growled out.

Leah had noticed a side of her cousin she had never seen before as she spoke of her anger for Janette and she liked it. Rubbing her arm Leah motioned for her to continue.

"And get this when we offered to take him in she wanted money! MONEY LEAH! I paid the bitch the hundred bucks I had in my wallet and took his things that night, we signed the paper work the next day to have complete guardianship of him."

"Thank god the rez takes care of our own, I'm glad he's in a good home now." Leah said honestly.

She knew Daniel will never have to want for anything while living with Emily.

"Thanks Lee, I just wish he would speak to me more. I only get a few words out of him each day, but he mostly keeps to himself."

Nodding at her they headed into the kitchen, Emily placed her muffins in a woven bowl. Handing the bowl to Leah they made their way outside…

Uley's backyard:

"No I'm serious if they drink from a drunken monkey they get drunk!" Jake said talking to Paul and Sam.

Both of his old friends started laughing harder as Jacob told them about their trip to Isle Esme. Sam had told him the story of the newest shifter and Jake felt the need to lighten the mood. Over the past year they have had three new shifter including little Daniel Goldfeather the other two were sixteen year old twin brothers Kyle and John Maccania. Daniel was out on patrol with Embry while the twins were talking to Billy and Old Quill about the new car they were saving up for when they had both stopped talking as the backdoor had opened and Leah had walked out.

Jacob knew that his wife was a gorgeous woman and can stop the hearts of any man she comes into contact with. He smiled to himself as the twins quickly made their way over to her taking the basket from her.

"I'm John."

"And I'm Kyle."

"Let me guess your twins?" Leah smirked

"Yep" They said in unison as they started puffing out their chest trying to impress her with their new buff bodies.

Raising an eyebrow Leah smiled at them before ignoring them completely and quickly walking over to him. Their faces dropped until Paul explained that they should be happy that she didn't rip off their manhood for hitting on her. Their eyes went wide as they realized it was the infamous Leah Clearwater they were talking to! Laughing Jake smiled as she came to stand next him.

"Hi Lee." Sam said smiling at her.

Jacob had to hold in his growl as the eyes of man in front of him raked over her body.

"Hey Sam, Paul" She nodded her head at both men in front of her.

Paul gave her a hug before Rachel and Kim came up taking her into their arms.

"Damn Clearwater you look amazing!" Rachel said while Kim nodded her head in agreement.

"That's Doctor Clearwater" Kim said nudging Rachel.

Leah and Jacob shared a secret smile while Seth and Billy coughed trying to cover their laughter.

"Is that my old Alpha and Beta I see?!" Embry said walking out of the forest followed by Quil.

Leah was genuinely happy to see Quil and Embry and was happy to hug them and talk about how they have been. Everyone congratulated them on their graduation and becoming MD's. As Jake was talking about their last semester they heard some rustling coming from the bushes behind them Leah turned her head as a little boy that looked to be around the age of seven came out. He was covered in dirt and had little twigs coming out of his hair, it made her smile as he was trying to clean off his shirt with dirty hands.

"Daniel!" Emily smiled as she walked up to him.

Daniel kept his head down as Emily came up to him licking her thumb she tried cleaning off his cheek while squatting in front of him. He kept wiggling his face trying to dodge her thumb. Standing up Emily turned Daniel to face Jacob and Leah.

"This is Jacob Black and Leah Clearwater Daniel can you say hello before you go inside?" Emily spoke.

Groaning Daniel kept his head down.

"Hi Daniel, I'm Jake…" Jacob said.

Lifting his head Daniel saw the tallest man he had ever seen staring back at him. He wore dark Jean and a white button up shirt rolled at the sleeves. The man had very kind eyes that had pure joy behind them as he spoke.

"And I'm Leah…"

Daniel turn to the voice that had spoken to him and froze as his world had stopped spinning. He stared at the most beautiful brown eyes he had ever seen and a smile that knocked his breath away. He felt a pull towards this women as if little steel cables were tying him to her. He stopped caring about everything except her.

Leah…. He thought as he began to smile.

"Crap did he just do what I think he did!" he heard Paul shout.

"Looks that way…" Embry said.

He zoned out the shouting that was going on around him as Leah began to bend down toward him, but froze as he quickly saw a fist coming his way as it made contact he hit the floor. The last thing he remembered before he blacked out was the man Jacob breathing heavily over him with a clenched fist…

The party went silent as they looked between Jacob and the knocked out Daniel. Leah was growling and rushing to Daniel checking his head for any serious damage, trying to support his head under her knees they began shouting at each other.

"WHAT THE FUCK JACOB!"

"HE IMPRINTED ON YOU!"

"I can see that! Why the hell did you punch him?! He's six years old, just a baby!" She shouted trying to wake Daniel up by lightly smacking his cheek. Jacobs face softened as he realized what he had just done, he wanted to apologize immediately, but couldn't bring himself to do it.

"He imprinted Leah! On you!"

Looking up at her husband she watched as she saw the fear and insecurity go through him. That only served to piss her off even more. Standing up she plopped Daniels head down as she got into Jacobs face before growling out to him.

"That's precious you're scared huh?!"

"No I'm not!"

"No? So you mean to tell me you like to go around punching defenseless children?"

"No! It's just… just…"

"Just what Jake? You don't trust me? Is that it?" Leah started to shake as she growled at her husband. Jacob grabbed her shoulders rubbing them up and down to calm her shaking.

"No I trust you! It's him I don't trust! Sorry for getting pissed that my wife just got imprinted on!" Jacob said.

Daniel had woken up at this point to see his imprint fighting with the really tall man Jacob and went to defend her until he heard her shout the next words.

"Well I didn't fucking ask for the damn Imprint, but it happened all the same!"

His heart sank as he realized they were fighting about him.

I shouldn't be surprised she doesn't want anything to do with me… Daniel thought as he jumped up and shouted.

"WELL I DIDN'T WANT TO IMPRINT ANYWAYS!"

Daniel turned and ran into the woods as quickly as he could before they saw him cry, he phased and ran as fast as he could. Leah turned around at the sound of his voice. Trying to get him before he ran off but she was to slow. Turning around she glared at Jacob.

"March your ass in there and get him!"

"No."

"Yes."

"No, he'll come back eventually."

"Jacob Black you get your ass in there now or I'll go out there!" she said silently communicating that she will phase if she has to.

Jake thought about it for a minute before he noticed Rachel glaring holes at Leah left hand. Thinking back on their argument he realized he let it slip that they were married. So smiling wide he started to walk into the wood.

"Fine, I'll go get him but you can deal with everyone else by yourself!"

Leah turned to see everyone staring at her hand.

"CHICKEN SHIT!" She shouted at her husband's retreating back, all she heard was his laughter until he phased. Turning around she saw that the council, and her brother were smiling, while Embry, Quil, Paul, Kim and the twins all looked confused, and Sam, Emily and Rachel looked pissed. Not knowing what else to do she gave a nervous laugh while clasping her hands together.

"SURPRISE!" She shouted scratching the back of her head.
