A.N-I have decided to add on to this story, because I would like to see how things work out between Leah and Jacob.


Leah shifted nervously as she stood in her mother's kitchen, with Jacob next to her. Billy looked at them curiously. They had asked the man here on the pretense of staying here for dinner. As soon as Sue came that ploy would be busted, but by then she and Jake would tell their news.

It had been a week since they had imprinted on each other, and now Jacob wanted to come out. Well, he had wanted to come out right after, but she had asked him to wait. She hated doing that, because he really wanted to and she wanted to make him happy. But Jake had agreed, because he wanted to make her happy. So now they were going to tell her mother, brother, and his father about them. Leah had figured Seth could tell Quil and Embry, and she and Jake could tell Sam and his pack. Seth had just walked in, with Sue in tow. She looked at her daughter and the two Blacks, and then asked Leah,

"What's wrong? Is something the matter?" Leah shook her head. She had told Jake she would tell them. "Nothing is wrong." She smiled a little. "No, for once, everything is right." She took Jake's hand, a movement nobody missed, and said,

"Jake and I imprinted. On each other." There was silence. Then Sue was in front of Leah, and hugged her tightly. Leah wiggled a little bit, uncomfortable. This didn't feel like an accepting, congratulatory hug. It frightened her, because it reminded her of when her father died, and everyone hugged her and told her they were sorry and that everything was going to be all right.

Leah stepped away. She didn't want that kind of hug now; not for something so good, so wonderful, so beautiful as Jake and her together.

Seth was growling, and starting to shake. Billy still had a shocked look on his face, mumbling how it wasn't possible, imprints had never been broken, wolves only had one soul mate, maybe Sam's theory was wrong...blah, blah, blah. The she-wolf was more concerned with trying to pry her brother off their Alpha. The boy was yelling,

"How dare you! How dare you do this to her! Were you getting Alpha tips from Sam? Is that were you got this idea? Well, newsflash for you, Jacob, I'm not going to let you do that, Alpha my ass!" Seth had Jake against the wall, and he wasn't fighting back. The boy's fist was raised, but Leah caught it and held it back. Her brother turned to glare at her.

"What the hell, Leah! Don't defend him! Why are you going along with this, anyway?" A thought occurred to him, and rage crossed his features. He ripped his hand out of his sister's grasp, surprising her, and it connected with Jacob's face.

"You slimy son of a bitch! I swear, if you ordered her to-"

"SETH!" Leah yelled, causing him to stumble back in surprise. She spun him around and grabbed his shoulders. She looked into his eyes and said,

"Jacob didn't order me to do anything. You know he wouldn't do that; and even if he did, I would most definitely tell you. Okay? I-I love him. Even without this imprint. It just makes it stronger." Leah gulped. She realized how true these words were, now that they were said out loud. "This doesn't change anything. You're still my brother. My stupid, simpleminded, innocent baby brother whom I love." Seth looked at her for a long, long time. Then, very quietly, he said,

"Okay."

Sue looked at Jacob, then at Leah, and back again. She sighed, and then told him.

"I guess I accept this. Since you make my daughter happy, I'm glad. But the instant you make her unhappy, I don't care if you are a werewolf, I am going to hurt you. Are we clear?" Jake gulped, trying to look scared, but he couldn't keep the grin off his face.

"Crystal, ma'am."

...
Sam and Emily's house...

Jake was grinning as he knocked on the Uleys' door. He was happy. He had been accepted by his girlfriend-yes, girlfriend-girlfriend's family, and his father was happy for him. Seth was running to tell Quil and Embry. Jake had met Sam and asked him to gather his pack. He had to tell the older boy twice that it was good news. So now he and Leah were going to tell the other wolves.

Emily opened the door and ushered them into the living room, where the eleven (excluding Sam) members of Sam's pack sat waiting for the good news they had been gathered to hear. Jacob took a deep breath and said,

"Well, Nessie...kind of...broke up with me, even though we weren't like that. She broke the imprint." There were murmurs amongst the pack, as this had never been heard of before. Jake held up a hand, causing everyone to settle down.

"Leah was with me at the time, and then I-I re-imprinted on her." There was silence. Then Collin said incredulously,

"You imprinted on the harpy?" Leah glared at him and growled, but Jake was over him in a flash, snarling a little and showing his teeth. He leaned in and hissed,

"Yes, I imprinted on Leah. Don't you dare call her a harpy, or anything like that, again, you hear me? Broken bones hurt. A lot." Collin leaned away from the other Alpha, cowed.

As the other wolves crowded Jacob, some looking over at Leah, Sam came over and asked the she-wolf if she would talk to him outside. The girl shrugged and followed him out of the house. Sam walked to the edge of his lawn, probably trying to stay close but give them as much privacy as possible. Then he turned.

"Well, Lee-Lee, I'm happy for you. Really, I am. But I wanted to tell you, that maybe you should take it slow with Jake. I spent a long time with Emily after I imprinted on her" Sam wasn't that surprised to see that Leah's face was still emotionless when he said that "but it took me a long time to really love her." He ran his hand through his hair. "Do you know what I mean?" Leah nodded.

"Yeah. Believe it or not, I do. But...Sam, that really isn't your any of your business, so if you don't mind...butt out." Sam laughed.

"Well, at least you're still the same Leah. I would miss that." He smiled, the kind that used to make Leah's heart melt. It was strange, because now all she could think when she that was, Jake should smile some more. I'll make sure he smiles more. It was weird, but she liked it. She had finally, truly moved on. She said,

"Yeah, well, it's not like you see me much anyway." Sam looked thoughtful.

"Speaking of that, are you still going to stay at the Cullens', or come home, now that Nessie doesn't need Jake?" Leah was a bit startled. She hadn't thought ahead that far. She was just happy wherever Jake was. She shrugged in answer to his question.

"I don't know. We might back." She shrugged again. Sam nodded. He looked past her and grinned. Leah turnd around and saw Jacob smiling guiltily as he stepped away from the window. Her ex said,

"I best give you back, before he come charging out here." Leah snickered. She turned to the Uley,

"I'm glad you're happy for us. I appreciate it." She gave him a quick hug, and then walked toward her Jacob.
