I don't own Twilight.

As soon as the guys were out of her view Bella picked up the phone and dialed a familiar number.

"Hello." Leah's voice came over the line as clear as crystal.

"Hey Lee."

"Bella." Leah squealed "Are you here tell me you're here."

"I'm here I'm at Sarah's or I guess my dads." She shook her head it felt odd to say that."

"I'm coming over you just wait there." With that the phone line went dead and Bella smiled putting the phone down and waiting for Leah to show up. She bounced to the door and threw it open throwing her arms around Leah.

"Oh Leah it's so good to see you."

"You to Belly Girl." Leah let go and looked at her friend. 'I missed you."

"Come in I'm in Rebekah and Rachel's room." Bella said going to the for mentioned room and shutting the door behind Leah flopping down on one of the beds as Leah flopped down on the other. "So I saw Samuel earlier he came over to get Jake." Bella scrunched up her nose in disgust

Leah chuckled. "it's really not what it looks like." She sighed feeling the hole in her heart as she talked about Sam and the situation. She knew Sam couldn't help it that Emily was his destiny his imprint but that didn't mean she liked it, it didn't mean she wanted to accept it or that it didn't hurt to see Sam with Emily to know that Sam and Emily would soon have a baby. A physical sign of their love, their bond. Anyway they're having a baby." She tried to keep her face natural.

"A baby." Bella screeched sitting up on the bed.

"Ow." Leah slapped her hands over her ears. "That hurt you know."

"Sorry." Bella grumbled. "But a baby really. I Hate him. I really hate him that was supposed to be you your baby not hers." Bella refused to even say Emily's name.

"Yeah well Fate has a sick sense of humor." Leah chuckled mirthlessly. "You can't maim him though. Anyway lets get off me and focus on you. Tell me how does it feel to be back for good?"

"Strange and I swear Jacob kept looking at me like it was the first time he'd ever seen me."

"Really?' Leah looked her "Did he really well well." A small smirk played across her face.

"What?" Bella asked confused.

"Nothing, nothing but I do think that life in La push is going to get very interesting."

"Leah Clearwater you tell me what's going on now." Bella demanded.

"No can do Bellaroo."

"I hate those nicknames I really do."

"I know that's why they're fun." Just then they heard the door open and went out to investigate.

"Wonder if the guys got down with their meeting yet." Bella said as she came into the living room to see Sarah trying to balance groceries. "Here let me take those." She quickly took them from her hands and put them on the counter. "it's good to see you Sarah."

"Oh Bella it's so good to have you home." Now with her hands free Sarah engulfed her future step daughter in her arms. "Where's Jake?" she looked around spotting Leah. "Hey Leah."

"Sarah." Leah nodded sitting at the table.

"Jacob went to some meeting at the traitors house."

"The traitor?"

"She's talking about Sam." Leah chuckled.

"Oh." Sarah tried not to snort. "Well you're father has to work late tonight so if Jacob doesn't come home it will just be me and you for dinner. I was thinking Fish I know its not fancy but your father has caught so much of it that I just don't know what to di anymore." She walked over to the freezer and pulled it open showing Bella the freezer filled with nothing besides fish.

Bella started to laugh. "Okay fish it is." Bella pulled some out as Sarah went about preparing it.

"So Sarah guess what?" Leah's eyes were twinkling as she stood up and went to the counter.

"What?"

"Jacob has been acting strange according to Bella."

"Leah," Bella rolled her eyes and shook her head.

Leah smirked and shared a look with Sarah. "Really well life should get interesting." Sarah turned towards Bella.

"Why would life get interesting, what is going on?"

"Nothing dear, nothing." Sarah went back to preparing the fish. Just then the door opened and feet clattered against the floor.

"Hey Ma." Jacob said coming around the corner. Sam, Embry, Seth and Quil behind him.

"Jake."

"So the guys and I finished the meeting and were planning to head to the beach but I don't think the rain will let up so we're going to hang in my room." His eyes lingered on Bella.

"Right okay then. Are any of you staying for dinner?"

"Not me, Sam said. "Emily is making dinner."

Bella growled and narrowed her eyes at him.

"Right okay, Embry, Quil." Sarah turned towards the others hoping to disperse the tension.

"That would be great Mrs. Black Thanks" Quil jumped in. Sarah smiled and pulled more fish from the freezer.

"Well I'm going to get going." Sam started to back towards the door.

"I'll walk you out." Jacob followed him out. "Sorry about that man." Jake shook his head

"It's not your fault and in her mind I hurt her friend." Sam shrugged.

"Still I'm sorry."

"Don't worry about it. I have to get to Emily."

"Yeah Okay." Jacob watched him go and shook his head. He headed back into the house and looked at Bella.

"Bells please you have to be nice to Sam."

"No I actually don't. He dropped Leah a month before the wedding and ran off with her cousin. Now they are having a baby and married that is unforgivable."

Jacob sent a pleading look at Leah who held up her hands. She wasn't going to get involved she may understand because she had to but that didn't mean that what Bella was saying wasn't in part true. Wasn't things she wished she could say herself. the tension sat thick around the kitchen of the Swan Black kitchen.
