Seth's POV
Leah's eyes were locked with mine. We stood there … just staring. I thought that I would never see her ever again. So many emotions flashed through my mind. Relief… Anger… Happiness… Curiosity…
She was the one who broke the silence. Leah shifted the small child to her other hip. The movement showed how awkward she felt. "Seth."
I turned my attention away from her and looked at Sasha. She was clearly shocked. Sasha had heard all the stories about the only female werewolf. After Leah had left, Sasha was the one who helped me look through countless records for any sign of her. Even after everyone had given up any hope of finding Leah, Sasha still continued looking for her. I smiled. Sasha deserved seeing Leah again.
I turned to face Leah again. She seemed to be thoroughly shocked too. The little girl in her arms had hid her face into Leah's shoulder.
"How are you Leah?" Sasha said. Her voice was just above a whisper.
Leah snapped her attention away from me and looked at Sasha. It looked like it was the first time that Leah had noticed that Sasha was also here. "Good." Leah said confidently. This Leah seemed different from the one that had left La Push. She seemed happier. This wasn't the post break up Leah that I knew.
I stood there and watched silently as Sasha approached the little girl. "Is this…?"
"Yeah," Leah said. I could hear the pride in her voice. "This is my daughter Emma. Say hi Emma."
The little girl pried her face from her mother's shoulder and looked directly at me. "Lo"
My heart soared. I had a niece! This beautiful little girl was my niece. I was her uncle. "Hi Emma," Sasha said, "My name is Sasha. I am a good friend of your mommy's." Sasha smiled at Emma and then looked at me. I was still standing in the same spot.
"Oh." I walked closer to Leah and Emma. "Hi Emma," I said. My voice was soft. I easily scared children and I knew that the less intimidating I looked the easier it would for my niece to like me. "My name is Seth. I'm your uncle."
Emma looked confused and looked at Leah. "Like Unca Brian?"
Leah laughed and said, "Yes sweetie. Like Uncle Brian. Except this is my brother. This isn't your daddy's brother."
When Leah said the word daddy, that's when I noticed the wedding band on her finger. She had gotten married. I felt my entire body shake. She didn't even have the audacity to at least call back home and say that was getting married.
Sasha took my hand into hers. Our fingers intertwined. Her knowing eyes searched mine. I understood what she was trying to say. It wouldn't be good if I phased into a huge wolf in the middle of a children's store.
Leah looked like she was internally debating something. "Seth, Sasha… it would be better if you both came over to my place tomorrow for dinner."
Sasha beamed. "That's a wonderful idea Leah. We can all calmly talk about the new changes in our lives."
Leah breathed a sigh of relief. "I am running late as it is. And Liam gets frustrated when I am not home in time."
My grip on Sasha's hand tightened. She winced in pain. I immediately released her hand. "Is Liam… your husband?" I had a right to know these kinds of things. She was my only sister and I had already seen her heart crushed once.
Leah smiled while Emma laughed. "Unca Seth. Liam is a baby. Not a daddy. He's this big." Emma held out her arms.
"Liam is my son. He is only six months and he already out grew most of his nappies. That's why I came to LadyBug today. Ethan Harris is my husband." Leah said. "You will get to meet him tomorrow. Liam too."
Leah grabbed a piece of paper and pen and wrote down her address and phone number. "This is my home phone number. Just call incase you get lost." Leah gave me the piece of paper and started to walk towards the cashier.
She suddenly turned around and said, "It was good seeing you little bro."
I smiled. It was good to get the old Leah back.
Sam's POV
The entire pack was over at my place again for lunch. Any hope of them maturing as they got older was out the window. The still acted like unruly teens. My five year old son Tristan though that the pack was the coolest boys he had ever met. He couldn't wait until he became a wolf. The phone rang and I looked at the caller id. It was Seth. He and Sasha had been in London for a little over a week. Sasha went to go see family members and Seth couldn't survive without being around her for two weeks. He was probably just checking in to see if there was any new scents since he had left.
Paul walked by and said, "Is that little Seth?"
"Yeah," I said. Paul loved to call Seth little Seth because he was one of the smallest out of all of us when we phased.
"Put him on speaker Sam. I haven't teased him in over a week and feel that my exceptional skills are going to waste."
"Hey Seth," Embry said.
"Seth-o!" Paul said.
Everyone started saying their hellos to the phone which was now on the table. Voices were clamoring over each other. Imprints were asking Seth how London was and how the weather was like. The pack was asking Seth when he was coming back. Over the din, I could clearly hear Seth's voice, "I need to speak to Sam. Give the phone to him." I could hear the urgency in his voice.
"Quiet!" I yelled over the din. My voice ran out over the pack. They knew that this was a direct command. "What is it Seth? Is there blood sucker activity? Do you need backup?"
"No Sam that's not it." Seth said. "I found her."
"Found who?" Seth had already imprinted. It wasn't possible for him to imprint again.
"Leah." Seth's voice covered the entire room. There was an unusual silence as everyone took in the news.
There was a startling crash of a plate shattering. I then remembered that Sue Clearwater was washing the dishes.
