IMPORTANT: Still avoiding stress grr...So yeah, my mother typed this up from my note book and posted it for me. Give her virtual hugs. She deserves them for sure. I have been snappy for some reason lately and I don't know why. She handles my moods well though because she says it's from one of my liver levels and toxins making me angry. Anways, she is the best mom ever for putting up with my up and down moods.
When I finally arrived home hours later after helping Jasper choose a gift for his anniversary with Alice, I had assumed my lovely wife would be waiting to ambush me. I'd prepared myself for the full force of her anger. I expected to be screamed at, given a lecture about respecting her personal things, or even a slap.
What I had not expected was to see Alice waiting for me at the front door with a frown on her face. Immediately I knew something wasn't right. My sister fiddled nervously with her fingers and wouldn't meet my gaze. Oh no, what could she have done?
Knowing Alice it could be something as simple as borrowing a CD without my permission or something as horrible as destroying my car. From the look on her face I knew it had to be really bad. I got the feeling it may even be close to end of the world terrible. When I cast a sideways glance at Jasper I saw his expression mirrored the one Alice wore. He no doubt was feeling her emotions of guilt.
Edward I am so sorry! Biting her lower lip the pixie vampire raised her eyes to meet mine. I didn't think it would cause such a problem. I only wanted to help and I thought my plan would be fool proof. Who knew Leah would get so angry.
I closed my eyes and sighed. What had she done? If it involved Leah I guessed it had something to do with the baby situation. "Alice what did you do?"
My sister actually looked frightened. Her golden eyes darted from Jasper then back to me. "I may have hinted to Sue that Leah would be having a baby soon. I thought what harm could it cause to have Leah's mother on your side? Unfortunately I forget to mention to Sue the small fact of Leah not having agreed yet."
My jaw dropped at her explanation. "Alice tell me you didn't?" When she took a step back from me to hide behind Jasper, I knew she had indeed done the stupidest thing she could have ever done. "What the hell were you thinking? Where is she? Where is my wife? Looks like I have to do damage control."
"She's upstairs in your room." My sister whispered and snuggled into her husbands side. "She isn't exactly behaving in typical Leah behavior. Edward she is scary calm. She even terrified Rosalie by how calm she is being."
Great..Just great. A calm Leah tended to usually be worse than an angry Leah. I ran my fingers through my hair debating on if I should make a break for the Canadian boarder. Deciding I had to face my wife sometime I headed into the house.
"Thanks for all your help Alice." I muttered sarcastically under my breath knowing Alice and Jasper would hear my words.
Taking the stairs two at a time I managed to make it to Leah and I's room within seconds. I paced in front of the door a few times. How should I approach my tempermental wife? Should I pretend to have no idea about what happened with her mother? No, she would know I knew because hello I am a mind-reader.
Maybe I should go in and start appologizing immediately and pray she took mercy on me? It would probably be best for everyone involved if I simply entered the room and let whatever was ment to happen take place. I would deal with it like a man.
Alice fucking owed me in the future that was for sure. How could my sister do this to me? I thought she cared about my safety and wellbeing. Obviously she didn't care enough or she would've known better than to do what she did. She had to of known how Leah would react. Maybe Alice really was crazy. She had to be since there was no other reasonable explanation as to why she'd piss of a she wolf. Yep, Alice was completely nutters.
Placing my hand on the golden colored door handle, I twisted it slowly and pushed the door open. I poked my head inside the crack first before slipping my body inside the room. I closed the door behind me. I stood in the corner and took a good look at my she wolf of a wife.
Leah currently resided in my arm chair I used for reading. Her legs were tucked underneath her as she kept her attention focused on the book in her hands. She was reading one of Carlisle's heavy medical volumes. I wondered why for a brief second before I caught a single thought pass through her mind. I'm hoping it will give me ideas on how best to torture you.
The expression on her face did not give her thoughts away. The mental block was once again in place. She continued reading for a moment before closing the book and raising her eyes to meet mine. She pretended to be suprised by my presence. Reaching up with her tanned hand she placed a stray peice of hair behind her ear. As for me? I was waiting for the burst of anger I could sense building within my wife.
"Oh Edward your home." Her words along with her smile were coated with a sugary sweetness. "How was your day honey? Did you have fun with Jasper?"
All I could manage to do was nod. Wait for it. Wait for it. Any moment she is going to kill you permanantly. My thoughts were racing but still I couldn't form any words. Calm Leah was damn terrifying. I think I preferred angry Leah.
Leah stood up and placed the book down on the chair. "Would you like to know how my day went?" When she took a step towards me I had the intense desire to flee. I fought back the urge and stood completely still. "Oh come on Edward you know your dying to know. Mom says hi by the way. Would you like to know what else she had to say? She was in a wonderful mood today and I wonder if you can guess exactly why that is?"
"Leah I hope you know I had absolutely nothing to do-" My defense was cut short as I felt Leah wrap her arms around my shoulders. I could feel my body stiffen even more. Her gesture wasn't threatening yet but I knew Leah better than even she knew herself. Giving me a hug was her sneaky way of getting close to me so she'd be able to rip off my body parts.
"Don't worry honey bee. You did nothing wrong." Fear crawled up my spine. My wife only called me honey bee when she was furious with something I had done. "I mean really Edward why on earth would I be upset with you? You only have my mother convinced she is going to be a grandmother very soon. When she found out I was not carrying her future grand child she decided to join the dark side and talk me into doing something I am not ready for. So now you tell me sweetheart..Why would I be angry with you?"
Warm hands caressed my shoulders before moving on to my neck. Out of the blue Leah started to choke me which for obvious reasons did nothing. I may not have need to breathe but her choking the undead life out of me wasn't exactly comfortable either. "You son of a bitch! How could you put me in a position like that? Do you have any idea what I had to go through today?"
If I'd been human I would be suffering a severe case of naseua right now with all the shaking and choking going on. Still, this reaction seemed less severe than other things she could be doing. I would take this over anything else running through her mind. "I knew you could go low to get what you wanted but I thought you would atleast respect me enough to not go crying to my mother about a baby!"
Finally I was able to pull her fingers from my throat. I tried to hold her hands in mine. "Leah I didn't go to your mother I swear."
She growled and tried reaching out to choke me once more. "No your right. You didn't say anything to my mother..You had your crazy little sister do it for you!" Her eyes had turned almost black with uncontrollable rage. "If you had any idea as to what I had to go through today maybe you would be more understanding you fucking living dead rat bastard bloodsucker!"
"Leah my love I did not go to Alice. I had no idea she would go to your mother." I pulled my wife against my chest. She was actually shaking from either anger or sadness. I was unsure of which emotion happened to be the dominant one at the moment. "Would you like me to pay Sue a visit and explain the mix up?"
Leah pulled away from me once more. As she walked towards the bed I finally caught side of an overnight bag. "Leah your not..You can't be leaving?" Panic swelled in my chest when she picked the bag up in her arms. "Love I am sorry for what Alice did! I didn't mean for her to go to your mother! Don't leave me please please please!" I fell to my knees next to where she was standing by our bed. I begged her to stay even harder now. "I'll do anything to make you stay! Leah I'm sorry for hiding your birth control pills. I will give them back to you if you want. I'll talk to Alice and Sue..I'll do anything Leah please!"
To my suprise and emmense hurt Leah began to laugh uncontrolably. If I'd been able to shed tears my face would be drenched. When my wife saw my heartbreak her laughter came to a sudden halt and she was on her knees next to where I had collapsed. She cupped my face between her hands.
"Edward breathe!" She ordered and continued to caress my face with her fingers. "I am not leaving you. Nessie has a sleep over at Claire's tonight remember? It's Claire's birthday and most of the pack minus myself and Paul will be staying over. I was only getting her stuff packed for her. You know how overboard she can get. If I'd let her pack a bag she'd be bringing her entire room with her."
Leah pressed her lips to my forhead trying to ease my panic which still resided within my heart. "I would never leave you baby. You should know this by now. If I planned to leave you I would've done so before we married eachother. I am not Bella and I would never up and leave just because I can."
I buried my face in her shoulder and wrapped my arms around her. I took the time to breathe in her scent. "You scared the shit out of me Leah! I thought-I thought it was happening again. I thought you would leave like Bella did but the difference with you leaving is the part where I would never be able to make it without you. Leah I can't-I can't bear to- to even-"
Look at the always calm and collected Edward Cullen now I thought. I could barely even form words. I knew Leah hated Bella because she thought I still cared for my ex but let me say she is dead wrong! Leah Cullen is and always will be my true reason for existing. Bella was a mistake of the past. The only good thing my ex wife had done was give birth my first child. Thank god Renesmee had inherited all my genes and almost none of her biological mothers.
My wolfy wife ran one hand through my hair in a soothing manner. "I know, I know. Edward I won't leave you. I would never leave you. I may get pissed and scream but I would never really leave. I think you purposely made me feel bad so I'd stop choking the unlife out of you." Getting to her feet she offered her her free hand which I took to join her in a standing position. "Look, I need to drop Nessie off and stop at the store really quick but when I get back I think we need to talk."
I shook my head and pulled her into one of our earth shattering kisses. Pulling her body into mine I ran my tongue along her lips. I didn't want to talk. I wanted to loose myself in my wife to ease the pain from the scare she'd given me moments before. When I pulled back I tilted her chin upwards. "Get Alice to drop Renesmee off at Claire's. She owes me one anyways for her act of stupidity."
Leah and I shared a grin when we heard Alice shriek. "Hey! I was trying to help!"
"Yeah you were a huge help Alice. Almost causing me to kill your brother!" Leah replied yelling out so Alice would hear her.
"Trying. To. Help!" Alice yelled back angrily. "See if I try to do something as nice in the future. I'm never going to get involved in your guys fights again!"
"Thank you!" Leah and I called out at the same time.
I took my wife's hand in mine. "On second thought I think I'll go with you to drop Nessie off. I want to take you somwhere. It was supposed to be a suprise for later on when things were settled but I think now is the perfect time."
Leah gave me a doubtful glare. "Take me where? Last time you tried to suprise me you bought that annoying baby name book. I am not sure I want anymore of your suprises. Can't we just come home?"
"Don't you trust me Leah?" I shot a dazzling smile her way.
"No not really." I raised my eyebrow at her attempt to be funny. She rolled her eyes. "I liked where your mind was going with the kissing. Can't we just continue doing that? Or would you rather I yell at you again?"
I pulled her into another ground shaking kiss. "I would rather you trust your husband. You'll love this I promise."
"Fine fine! If your so set on whatever it is you think I will love who am I to argue. It better be good if I am giving up a night of hot sex for it." Leah Cullen pouted and I couldn't help but grin.
"Who said anything about no sex?" I replied before bounding down the stairs with Leah on my tail.
TBC..
AN: Anyone wanna guess what the suprise is gonna be? I had written this differently but I didn't like it so I rewrote it in my notebook. Thanks to my mom for typing and posting this chapter and please R and R like always! Btw, some of you were very close in your guesses. One reviewer was almost spot on though some of you were way off but I loved hearing your guesses!
