An hour later Leah was released from the hospital in the care of her family, the realization of where she was has stunned her beyond belief. As she drove away from the hospital her eyes focused on the landscape around her, La Push was still the same, it was amazing- the houses, the people, even the weather, Leah smiled lightly but her smile soon turned to a visible frown as her father continued driving past their house and stopped a few blocks down in front of a small yet cozy house. Leah was still confused, who's house was this? She looked up at Sam for some reassurance only to be met by his wide grin and suddenly Leah realized it was theirs, her heart started to beat faster as her gaze met the cottage like house……. her house, the one she always dreamed of having with Sam. The house was just like she had pictured it, it was a little blue cottage with a red roof, the grass was a beautiful healthy green and the newly painted white picket fence swayed in the breeze, Leah smiled widely if this was how it was going to be then she hoped she will never wake up. Sam took Leah's hand and kissed it as he lifted her into his arms, she giggled as she carried her over the threshold.
"What are you doing?" Leah asked
Sam smiled "Just practicing"
Leah's focus went from Sam to the well furnished room, it was very cozy, the lights bounced of the warm timber walls illuminating the room, the leather furniture sat in the middle of the room in a little circle as if family gatherings would be held there. Leah's eyes then went to the walls where she saw a mass of pictures hanging, she saw pictures of her high school graduation with her parents, her eyes moved on to a picture of Sam and Harry holding up a large fish probably from one of Harry's fishing expedition, another picture showed herself, Emily and the girls she had met in the hospital room all wearing dresses at the bottom of the picture there was carving that wrote ' Sam and Leah's- Engagement Party 2008'. Leah was taken by the sight that she didn't even realized that Sam has placed her down on the couch. She looked around to see wedding magazines scattered on the floor and bouquets of flowers left lying on the table.
" we better get going, Dr Cullen said you need your rest so we will leave you to it " Harry said as he ushered Sue, Seth and the others out
"No, no you guys don't have to go, stay for a while longer Please" Leah begged, she had just got her father back
"Leah, Dr Cullen wants you to get you rest, we will come in a little while to check up on you, don't worry sweetheart we aren't going anywhere" Sue smiled rubbing her hand against Leah's cheek
Leah nodded and watched as she family and friends left the house leaving her and Sam alone
"Lee, maybe you should lie down" Sam gently pulled her in his arms but Leah shook her head
"no, no I have been lying down for a week, I'm tired of doing that" Leah looked around "Maybe ill clean, this house is so messy"
"oh no you don't" Sam said as he lifted her and put her over his shoulder and walked toward the bedroom" Dr Cullen said you have to take it easy, so your going to take it easy, beside we don't want you to faint again not when its so close to the wedding" he gently placed her on the bed
Leah swallowed the lump in her throat "how long exactly?"
"exactly two weeks for today" Sam beamed
"Oh" Leah exclaimed
Sam laughed "don't tell me you're getting cold feet already" he kissed her hand
Leah didn't say anything she just got up and walked towards the calendar she saw that there was a big circle around the date May 25th on the little square in red ink was the word- Wedding, Leah placed her fingers on the date, she thought for a second
" were have I seen this before?" She asked herself, it's suddenly struck her May 25th – the day that Sam and Emily got married but "how could this be?" she thought
She realized that Sam and Emily got married in her 'real life' but in this life there wasn't any vampires thus no werewolves thus no imprint thus no Sam and Emily and her wedding replaced the wedding that Sam and Emily had had.
"maybe you should relax, take it easy for a while" Sam suggested
"But the wedding……" Sam placed his finger on Leah's lips "the dresses are done, the cake is ordered, all the guests have RSPV'ed, you have nothing to worry about"
"but……" Leah stated again and this time Sam laughed "Leah, why don't you get some rest and ill clean up, ok"
"but….." he laughed " get some rest will ya" he kissed her forehead and left the bedroom closing the door behind him
Leah sighed, she turned her attention to the bed, the clean, freshly laid out bed she walked towards it and sat she didn't want to lay down she was scared if she did she would wake up and find herself back were she started. So she just fell back and stared at the roof , her mind began to run a hundred kilometers per hour questions plaguing her mind. She remembered talking to Jacob and wishing that the werewolf/vampire ordeal never happened, then she fought with him then Carlisle gave her a needle and then she woke up in this world. How did she get here? and what does it mean for her ? she didn't know, but she wasn't complaining this life seemed like the better alternative from the one she left behind.
Leah yawned her eyes suddenly became heavy she fought to say awake but it was a loosing battle her eyes became heavier and heavier by the second until she couldn't keep the opened any longer and she suddenly saw darkness.
Leah woke to the sound of familiar voices outside, she rubbed her eyes and she smiled she was still here in her 'perfect world'. She looked over to the left on the bedside table and saw a tray of food with a rose and a little note- Leah smiled and picked up the note and red it ……..
Lee- Lee,
I hope you have had a good sleep, I didn't want to wake you, you look so angelic when you sleep so I left you some food, your favorite blueberry pancakes. Eat up you need your strength for the wedding. I love you.
Sam
Leah smiled and placed the tray on her legs before beginning to eat, " yum these are the best tasting pancake I have ever had, I could get used to this" Leah thought as she downed another bite. She heard a knock on the door before she saw Sam pop his head inside "Leah, oh I see you like my food" he smiled
Leah nodded "since when did you cook like this?, this is amazing, I knew there was a reason why I'm marrying you"
Sam laughed
"Glad to know I'm good for something" he smiled, "umm Lee, there are a couple of people who want to see how you are? Are you up for it?"
Leah's mind immediately wondered to her family, her mother, her brother, her father
"sure" she smiled
Leah moved the tray from her lap and waited anxiously for the people to enter the room. A knock on the door, Leah almost jumped out of the bed hoping her family had come to visit her however she was stunned to see who had come to visit " can I come in?" a voice called, a frown etched on Leah's lips it wasn't her family but she recognized the voice "sure" Leah called
And sure enough the voice matched the face, "how you holding up sweetie?" Bella smiled as she sat beside Leah
Leah was stunned for a moment but recovered "I'm doing well" She half smiled
" I heard you have a fainting spell, I'm sorry I couldn't be here but re-enrolment to university didn't finish till today, I drove back as fast as I could" Bella smiled and continues " They told me I am up for a place in honor role, Charlie is over the moon, Renee too" (A/N- Bella is starting her second year of university )
"Congrates Bella" Leah smiled as she reached over to grab the orange juice of the tray and drank it
" thanks, and besides I need to be closer my one of my great friend right" Bella smiled taking Leah's hand
This caused Leah to choke on her orange juice. Her and Bella Swan friends, that was impossible she couldn't stand the little leech lover and to be honest Bella probably couldn't stand her either and now what they are all of a sudden close friends.
"Leah, you ok?" Bella asked
Leah rolled her eyes " I'm fine, but if someone asks me if I'm alright one more time I think I'm gonna scream"
"hmm I'm guessing Sam's being overprotective again and its driving you nuts"
"Oh yeah"
Bella laughed I guess its something in there DNA, I mean look at all of us, Embry is always calling Amelia to check if she is ok, Paul practically lives at Ashley's house, Quil is always holding Annalee tightly when he is with her, Jared never leaves Kate's side and will you know how Jake is with me and Charlie loves him for it"
This time Leah spat out her orange juice 'Jacob and Bella are together in this life' she though
"Woah, this is some mess up crap right here"
Bella continued talking not really noticing Leah's shocked expression. 'So everything is opposite for my real life, Jacob and Bella are together, Bella and I are friends, the Cullen's are human, We aren't werewolves and dad's alive, oh man what the hell did I get myself into?'
" and you'll never guess what he told me…………"
'OMG is this girl seriously still taking' Leah bit her lip to keep from screaming but luckily a knock at the door came in just in time
Jacob popped his head in through the door "can we come in?" he asked
"We?" Leah repeated
Before Leah could give her answer a flock of people crowded in the bedroom she saw Jacob, Embry, Quil, Seth, Jared and Paul, next to them were their girlfriends. Quil was standing next to a small framed young girl 'Amelia' Leah thought. Amelia had curly black hair her skin was a olive brown color and her face was somewhat stunning- her wide honey eyes sparkled in the light, he cheek bones where very high elevating her beauty, her nose was narrow but just the right size to fit her face. Leah then saw Ashley, her hair was fire red and sat in straight lock the went to her shoulders, her grey/green eyes were small yet somehow alluring , her skin was flawless not a pimple in sight, her plump lips were pulled up in a smile which showed her outstanding white teeth. Annalee who was Embry significant other was a blonde her hair was sandy blonde and was in little ringlets of curls, her piercing light blue eyes were breathtaking, her lips were just as perfect pump and cherry red, her skin was pale white and she dimple stood out every time she smiled. Lastly Kate was a brunette her hair touching the lower half of her back, big round chocolate brown eye, that Leah's eyes immediately went too, her skin was a honey color and looked almost soft to the touch, she had strong features throughout her face including her jaw line, her chin and her cheek bones. Leah was stunned they were so opposite of Cassandra, Rachel, Claire and Kim.
"How you feeling Leah?" Seth asked pulling her out of her thinking
Leah nodded "I'm alright"
"I see you have your appetite, you scoffed how Sam's famous blueberry pancakes" Jacob said pointing to the plate "I see we have our old Leah back" they all laughed
" I'm sure Sam told you that everything is arranged, we did it while you were in hospital" Amelia spoke up
Leah nodded " Thank You"
" All that needs to be arranged now is the bachelorette party" Ashley smirked
" I don't think that a good idea" Leah shook her head
"Oh come on Lee, what's a wedding without a bachelorette party" Bella smiled
'I'm still trying to get use to the idea of marriage' Leah anxiously thought, the look on her face caused the girls to worry
"you aren't getting cold feet are you?" Kate asked
Leah stayed silent "oh sweetie, lots of people get nervous just before the wedding its natural but the feelings will pass besides Sam loves you and you love him and this commitment is just what you guys need before you go off to the third year college" (A/N- Leah is 20 now which mean she would be in third year of college)
"College?" Leah repeated 'oh god, this is getting old really fast' Leah thought
"yeah, Stanton University in Seattle, Sam's doing a business degree and your doing a teaching degree in Native America myths and legends"
"right, right" Leah sighed
"oh Leah, we forgot to tell you the dress came in two days ago, so you can finally have your final fitting" Annalee smiled
Leah's perfect dress, the one she was dreaming about since she was a little girl, she smile remembering that she always used to wear her mom's long white table cloth around her waist and have a handful of newly picked flowers from the garden in her hand as she strolled around the house pretending to walk down the aisle.
"where is it?"
" its in the closet, we knew Sam would be away this weekend and after you had your little fainting spell we knew he would rush straight to the hospital so we hid it at the back of the closet, would you like to see it?"
Leah's mind screamed Yes, but was it wrong to want this, to want this wedding, the union, this happy ending to happen. It was going to end but Leah selfishly disregarded that thought, this is what she has always wanted what she need what she dreamt about, only to be taken away from her and now that she had it again she was never going to let it go.
"yes" Leah stated
"well I guess you boys have to get out" Kate smile
"what why?" Embry asked in a huff
"because we said so, now scram" Bella said pushing them out of the room
When they were gone, Annalee grabbed the dress from the back of the closet and placed it lightly on the bed. Leah's eyes darted towards the big white bag lean forward and carefully zipped it opened, as the zipper came down so did Leah's jaw, the dress was absolutely stunning. She got of the bed still holding it tightly within her grasps and went towards the bathroom, she immediately changed from her sweats to her beautiful gown. The sweet touch of silk and lace grazed her skin as he slipped on the dress, when she has finally got it on, the girls helped her zip up and she moved towards the full length mirror to see herself. As she walked towards the mirror she felt her knees start to shake and begin to buckle but she ignored it and make it towards her destination. Her gaze still focused on the floor she was unable to move her eyes towards the mirror, but she eyes slowly moved up until she was able to see herself fully, her hand rushed straight towards her mouth as a gasp came out, the dress was everything she had dreamed about and more it took everything she had not to collapse on the floor at that moment.
The dress was a mixture of silk and lace, the dress began off Leah's shoulders, the material was pulled in at the chest area causing her breasts to be pushed upwards, the dress clung to her body till it got to her hips and the puffed out filling the space around her, patterned lace around her shoulder was copied at the bottom of her dress and her veil had exactly the same pattern. It was perfect.
"oh Lee, you just look so beautiful" Amelia sobbed taking a tissue from the box in Ashley's hand, Kate nodded in agreement while Bella sighed
A tear rolled down Leah's cheek, she had been this happy in so long that it made her cry out, soon enough tissues were going all around and tears were turning in to crying fests.
"Are you guys alright in there you have been quiet for such a long time?" Jacob called out
"we are fine Jake" Leah called out after him 'we are just fine' she murmured quietly to herself while looking at the dress in the mirror.
After a while the guest came and went, making promises for seeing Leah soon and planning the much anticipated bachelorette party, Leah sat quietly before a soft voice spoke
"a penny for you thought" Sam said as he got under the covers with Leah
Leah smiled "I'm just thinking about how great my life is and how I wouldn't be anywhere else but here"
"oh really" Sam grinned raising his eyebrow he made his way to the crook in Leah's neck and began kissing it, Leah giggle immediately
"Id like to think I had a part in your happiness" Sam told her as he continued kiss her neck
Leah laughed "oh a very big part, but seriously, do you ever wonder what your life might have been like if things didn't turn out like this?"
Sam shook his head "if you are saying that I had to live a life without you then no defiantly no, I can't see me with out you Leah"
Leah laughed 'yeah tell that the old Sam' she thought
"Leah, what is bring all this up?"
She shrugged her shoulders " just a thought I had"
Sam went back to kissing Leah's neck but was interrupted by a knock on the door, Sam but his finger on Leah's lips and whispered "we're not here" and with that he continued with what he was originally doing
Leah moaned, it had been so long since she was held, kissed, touched like this especially by Sam it was causing her to have a mental overload. But the pleasure was destined to stop as the knocking still continued, Sam groaned in annoyance "ill get it" he rolled his eyes
When Sam opened the door, Leah immediately recognized all of the voices – her mom, her dad, Billy Black and Quil Aterea Snr, Sam greeted them politely and motioned for them to come in
"Is Leah awake?" Sue asked anxiously
Sam nodded "she is in the bedroom"
Sue immediately went to greet her daughter "sweetheart, how are you feeling?"
"I'm doing well mom, nothing a few of Sam's blueberry pancakes cant solve"
Sue smiled "I'm glad you have been doing well"
"where is dad?"
"oh he is out side……… Harry come say hello to your daughter will you"
Harry immerged from the living room right next to Leah with Billy and Quil Snr following close behind
"I just came to see how my little girl is holding up?"
Leah heart stopped for a second 'little girl' she hasn't been called that in so long
"are you being taken care of?" Harry said glancing Sam's way
Harry was always protective over Leah, Leah could remember from way back when she and Sam were dating , Harry threaten Sam that if did anything to hurt Leah he would kill him, cutting up in to little bits and use him as bait in his next fishing expedition.
Leah nodded "I'm am dad, trust me would I be this calm if I wasn't"
Harry laughed "that's my girl"
Leah smiled as her father and mother continued to fuss over her, she sat closely beside her father, he still smelt the same- he smelt of Cologne, Pine and Sea water, she missed that smell even though it wasn't very appealing. Quil Snr and Billy Black came in to the room, the greeted Leah with a hug and kisses on her cheek.
"Do you need anything?" Quil Snr asked
Leah shook her head "I'm fine, thank you Mr Atera"
"I brought you and Sam some lasagna, just in case, just heat it in the oven for twenty minutes and its good to go"
Leah smiled " thanks mom"
Billy cough "umm you have a half a lasagna now, we cut ourselves a bit"
She laughed at that "that's fine, Billy, if it wasn't you it probably would have been the other boys"
Sam agreed " yeah I think we have to baby proof our cupboards so they don't get in"
Billy snickered " I have a feeling they will still manage to get in, trust me I know from experience"
"oh Sue dear, we almost for got to give the kids out wedding gift" Harry said
"oh that's right" Sue smiled
Sue pulled a standard size envelope out of her bag and handed it to Sam, Leah and Sam both looked at each other confused
"you have to open it" Quil Snr joked
Leah smiled as Sam carefully opened the envelope and pulled out its content. Leah and Sam's eyes both focused on the two airplane tickets in Sam's hand.
"Mom, Dad what is this?" Leah asked
Sue and Harry smiled at each other before they looked at Sam and Leah and said " They are your honeymoon tickets"
Leah and Sam's eyes widen "Sue, Harry you really didn't have to do this" Sam started
Sue and Harry laughed "we wanted to, beside this is the only time you are going to be alone with people interrupting you, so you guys better make the most of Fiji"
'Fiji" Leah thought 'of course, Sam and Emily's honeymoon which now turns into mine'
"I don't know what to say, Mom, Dad thank you" Leah pulled them in to a tight hug, after she pulled away Sam did the same.
"oh we'd better get going, or we are going to be late" Harry exclaimed looking at his watch
"Late for what?" Leah asked
Sue smiled "It's our anniversary honey, your father made reservations at The White Rose, our favorite restaurant"
Sue leaned over and kissed Harry causing Leah to look away.
" you know even after all these years, you two still manage to make me nauseous" Billy complained
Quil nodded in agreement
" Well I think its fantastic" Leah smiled
Sam agreed with Leah " I just hope that we will have what you guys have some day"
Leah looked up at Sam and smiled "me too"
" well we really got to be going don't wanna be, late do we love?"
Sue shook her head and turned her attention to her daughter "if you need anything, anything at all you let me know ok sweetheart"
"of course mom"
There were a kisses and hugs all round before Sue, Charlie, Quil Snr and Billy made there exit. After they were gone, Sam joined Leah under the covers
" So Fiji huh?" he smirked
" yeah, wow that was really nice of them, I cant believe they did that"
" well you are there only daughter Lee, and they want what is best for you only the best for you"
"yeah I know, but this must have cost a fortune"
Sam nodded "Probably, but they love you and they want you to have the best possible wedding and honeymoon ever"
"yeah I know, what we could still have the best possible honeymoon without the exotic location"
Sam raised his eyebrow "really?" he smirked obviously taken Leah's comment the wrong way
Leah rolled her eyes "get you mind out of the gutter, you know what I mean"
Sam knew perfectly well what Leah meant but he still ignored it and focused on his own thought
"Now where were we before we were interrupted" Sam said moving his lips to Leah's neck, Leah squealed so was extremely ticklish
"Sam, Dr Cullen said I need rest to recuperate" Leah exclaimed but all her taking was in vain, Sam ignored her now kissing her jaw line
"Sam, I….." But before Leah could finish Sam lips were on hers, she felt a sweep of heat fill her body and a tingling sensation that ran from her toes to the tip of her lips. She couldn't remember the last time she felt that way, her heart pounded faster and faster and her heated blood coursed through her body furiously as if her life was depending on it. She just remember longing for Sam after he imprinted of Emily, she longed to have this moment one more time and now it was here and it wasn't just this one time it was for the rest of their lives. The satisfaction of it all caused her body to break down, it was just too much to taken in, suddenly her body jolted to life as if she had been shocked and kissed Sam back furiously she took in his scent, his taste, his touch they way his skin felt on her, the way their bodies fit perfectly as if to pieces to a perfect puzzle. She missed this, she wanted this and now it was here and she loved every second of it.
As Sam moved back towards the crook of her neck she felt his breath on her skin as he whispered "you know what, your right we shouldn't do this, you need you rest" he smirked evilly pulled his warm body from above her but he wasn't getting away that easily Leah grabbed his shirt and pulled back him down towards her.
"you started this, now you have to finish it" she breathed. Sam smiled
"oh do I now?" Sam breathed down Leah's neck
Leah moaned " Sam, please your making this harder for me"
Sam smiled gingerly "I know and I'm loving every minute of it"
Leah then took matters in to her own hands pulling him down on the bed while she sat above him, she kissed him furiously when she pulled away she gently bit down on his lip pulling it towards her, she then moved on to his ear and nibbled on it while placing her hands in his long black hair, Leah felt Sam's body react to her seduction, his body was obviously enjoying what she was doing, then a evil smirk appeared on Leah's lips
" you know what, I'm feeling kinda hungry now I might go heat up some of mom's lasagna" she got off Sam and strutted out the door, Sam following behind her
"you aren't gonna leave me like this are you?" Leah smirked she looked down to see his body had defiantly reacted to her. She shrugged her shoulders "go take a cold shower" she laughed as she heated a piece of lasagna
"Leah" Sam pleaded
Leah shook her head "serves you right, you should never mess with a Clearwater" she smirked took her lasagna and when back to the bedroom
Sam sighed as he made his way towards the bathroom, Leah smiled victoriously when she heard the water running. Oh she could defiantly get used to this life.
