Later that day:

Coming back into the living room, Leah walked up to the television and turned it off.

"Aw come on Lee it was just getting good!" Jacob whined throwing his head back on the couch.

"Don't aw me, you guys can't sit in front of the TV all day, it kills brain cells… and we all know Jake you really can't afford to lose anymore…" She joked.

Dee started laughing as if it was the funniest thing he had ever heard. Jake watched as Leah's face lit up with joy watching Dee laugh at her joke.

Even if it was lame at least she's happy… he thought standing up to stretch.

"Well what did you have in mind for us today?" Jake asked.

"YEAH! What are we going to do?" Dee shouted, jumping up on the couch.

"First stop jumping on the couch, my mom will kill me if you put a hole in it and two I don't know! I thought you would figure that out." She laughed, coming to pick Dee up again.

Jake shook his head at his wife and her "little wolf", the boy reached around 4'4 in height nothing compared to her 5'9 frame but still, she loved picking him like a toddler on her hip.

"He can walk Lee." Jake said, earning a glare from both of them.

"You can carry me if you want to." Dee said burying his face into her shoulder.

"Thank you sweetie! Do you want to go outside and play or we can play a board game, your choice." She cooed, rubbing her cheek on the crown of his head.

Jake rolled his eyes at the pair of them before Dee spoke up.

"Outside! Can we run together?"

"Not in wolf form." She said.

"Why not?" Dee questioned.

Clearing her throat, Leah looked at Jake with a panic in her eyes, silently communicating her need for him to help with this. They had spoken about it the night before and she didn't feel it was the right time to inform Dee that she is currently trying to become pregnant.

"No can do little guy Leah doesn't phase anymore, but it has to stay a secret…" Jake said.

"Why?"

"Because I don't want anyone to know that I have stopped." Leah explained.

"Why?"

"So that they don't ask questions I'm not ready to answer." She continued.

"Why?"

"Because I said so…" Jake said with authority in his voice, becoming annoyed with the repetitive question he put an end to Dee's questions with a stern look.

Leah's eyes went wide at his tone.

Is that how he'll sound with our kids? She thought smiling at the idea.

Knowing were his wife's mind drifted off to he smiled at her with a wink. Smirking, Leah began walking outside, putting Dee down she went to the shed to see if Seth had left any of his sports equipment inside.

Jake and Dee stood side by side on the steps as they watched her disappear into the shed. Dee turned to Jacob and had to push his head all the way back to see his face.

"Why can't I say anything?" He asked in a small voice.

Looking down at Dee's confused face he lighted up, reminding himself that he was child, a child that was left alone and abandon by his own blood. He couldn't give him the full answer knowing that Leah wanted to wait before explaining that to him. Sitting on the step Jake let his legs spread forward as he leaned back on an elbow. Eye to eye now Jacob played into Dee's imprint and age.

"Do you want to make Leah happy?"

"Yes!" Dee said, bobbing his head up and down quickly.

"Then make sure that nobody finds out that she stopped phasing, that means no thinking about it in wolf form, no talking about it to anyone and I promise if you do that, I'll sit down with you and explain everything. Do we have a deal?"

"Oookay… Deal!" He answered back.

"Shake on it?" Jake asked offering his hand to Dee.

"No."

Looking at Jacob's hand as if it was covered in poop he scrunched his nose and backed away towards the shed to find Leah. Taking a deep breath, Jake stayed on the steps looking up at the partially cloudy sky, the warm sun peeking out shooting rays down to dance across the yard as he listens to the sounds of the surrounding woods. Their home, he missed La Push and its peacefulness; there was no other place like it in the world to him. He watched as Leah and Dee came out of the shed carrying a bat and a lot of baseballs. A ray of sun surrounded Leah, creating almost a soft glow as she made her way to him. As always he was left speechless at the sight of her. It doesn't matter that they have been together for years he still loves her even more today than he did yesterday. He would think that he did imprint on her the way she's always running wild in his thoughts. Laughing at something Dee said, she turned to Jake tossing the balls to the ground. Catching one before it hit the ground he stood up, casting a shadow over Dee.

"So what's the game? Are we playing catch?" Jake asked Leah.

Smirking she takes the ball out of his hand to toss up and down in one hand.

"More like fetch"

"What?" Jake questioned as Dee giggled.

"I still have my strength so I'm going to bat the ball into the woods whoever brings it back first wins!" Leah cheered with a smile.

"Seriously?" Jake asked bored.

"Yep! I got to choose and that's what I want to do! I know you're just scared I'm better than you!" Dee taunted Jacob.

Ahhh here's my chance… I shall avenge you burrito! He thought with a chuckle.

"It's on Munchkin!" Jake exclaimed taking his shirt to toss on the ground.

Dee followed suit taking his clothes off they lined up at the tree line before Leah threw the ball into the sky and batted the ball sending it flying into the cloudy sky.

Taking off Jacob and Dee phased at the same time and hit the ground running. Jumping and clawing over fallen trees they ran so fast they were nothing but a blur. Jacob could see the ball still in the sky and turned direction as Dee jumped over some bushes and cut him off. The sounds of their panting were all that could be heard inside their heads. Dee was focused as he saw the ball drop to the floor, bouncing into a small stream he quickly jumped into the muddy water to pick it up in his mouth and started running back to Leah. Jacob watched as Dee retrieved the ball and knew what route the wolf would take to get home. Clearing his thoughts of nothing Jake took off at a safe distance from Dee passing him up by a mile before turning left and heading straight for him. It couldn't have been timed any better as Jacobs's snout pushed the ball out of Dee's mouth dislodging the ball. As Dee fell to the floor Jake spun around picking up the ball and ran at full speed back to Leah. Leaving the wet ball at her feet Jacob turned to where Dee was coming from.

Got to be faster kid if you want to beat me… He taunted as Dee came into view with twigs and dirt all over him.

I'll beat you! You'll see!... Dee warned with a rumble of his chest.

"Sure, Sure!" Jake said as they got back to the tree line waiting for Leah to bat the ball.

Leah looked down at the disgusting ball that Jake left at her feet. Kicking it to the side she grabbed another off the steps, throwing it high into the sky she batted again sending the ball flying. She watched as the two of them took off into the woods again barking and yipping the whole way. Smiling, she listened as a car pulled into the front yard, hearing as the car door shut she yelled to them.

"WE'RE IN THE BACK!"

Rachel heard Leah's shout and made her way through the house and out the backdoor. Looking up the steps Leah's smile faded as Rachel came out the door.

"What do you want?" She asked, not caring that she sounded rude.

"I came to apologies for the way I reacted last night." Rachel said, bracing her fists on her hips.

"Oh?"

Leah was happy to hear it, besides Emily, Rachel was her best friend growing up it hurt her deeply that her marriage to her brother had angered her so much.

"Let me explain, first off I AM happy that you two are together it just surprised me, second I'm still mad that we weren't invited. You would think that being someone's older sister and best friend would count for something, but you didn't even call. That really hurt, do you think that I wouldn't want to see my brother and you get married?" Rachel growled out in frustration before going on with her rant.

"And… and you just packed up and left nine years ago and never called or wrote…" Rachel took a deep breath as she began pacing across the porch.

"You couldn't even email me! You just left and forgot all about us! Then you come home and you're married to my BROTHER! And what? Are we supposed to be all happy and shit when you didn't give a flying fuck about any of us when you didn't even say goodbye! Dude you missed the birth of my first child! You only sent some lame ass card!" She finished, standing on the first step so she was eye to eye with Leah.

Leah was pissed that everyone took the news so badly, but never considered their feelings about what she had done. Waiting for an answer, Rachel glared at Leah before shouting in her face.

"WELL! What do you have to say for yourself?!"

Smirking at Rachel's expression Leah noticed how much older her old friend was now. She could see that she was use to yelling children at her teaching job at La Push High School all day and it didn't stop her from letting loose on adults.

"I'm sorry… you're right I was wrong to act that way… will you ever forgive me?" She asked sincerely.

Rachel was clearly still upset, but glad to get everything she had kept bottled up inside out after all these years.

"I can't promise you that I will… But I will promise to try…"Rachel said sarcastically, before grabbing her old friend for a hug. The two women laughed at Rachel's bi-polar attitude. Leaning back, but not letting go, Leah started talking.

"Just so you know, and I know how lame this sounds… But it was me, not you. I just needed time to find myself again. So much had happened in such a short amount of time. I was lost, when I looked in the mirror I couldn't see myself anymore… Moving was the best thing I ever did and if I had to do it again I would, but it wasn't right that I cut everyone out the way I did… and by the time I figured shit out I felt like nobody would want anything to do with me…."

"Lee!" Rachel cut her off. "This is your home we will always accept you with open arms… we all love you. I get that shit got to hard but you always had a friend in me, you should have at least called..."

"I'll be better I promise, I'll call you so much you'll change your damn number!" Leah joked, trying to lighten the mood.

Laughing the friends pulled apart.

"Sooo… my baby bro huh?" Rachel said, wiggling her eyebrows.

Groaning, Leah covered her eyes before looking back at the smirking Rachel.

"What can I say, he's got moves." Leah replied with a casual shrug.

That made them laugh and everything felt right in the world the two of them again. Rustling came from the woods as Jacob came running back in the yard. Dropping another drool covered ball at her feet. Rachel jumped back as the ball rolled towards her. Dee came running out panting hard as he came up behind Jacob dirtier than before. Jacobs's tail was wagging fast and hard as he lay down on his front paws like a puppy waiting to play. Tilting her head Rachel started laughing at her brother's reaction.

"Yeeaaahhhh look at those sexy moves!" She joked sarcastically

Jake barked once at Rachel making her jump, before joining Dee as the little wolf wagged his tail at the tree line.

Smiling Leah laughed before tossing the ball in the air and hitting harder than she did before sending it high in the sky that she lost sight of it. Jacob looked back at his wife one more time before taking off behind Dee as he hauled ass into the woods.

Turning back to Rachel she smiled at her glowing friend before speaking.

"Sorry for being a douche bag…"

"Sorry for going all psycho killer, I can't help it when I'm knocked up" Rachel smiled at Leah's shocked face.

"You're PREGNANT! That's awesome Rach! Congratulations." Leah said hugging her one more time.

"Thank you. We were going to announce it yesterday, but I lost my shit when I saw my mom's ring on your finger. That little asshole hid it from us all these years I thought he lost it." She said, grabbing her hand to look at before continuing.

"It looks beautiful on you, Becca will die with envy."

"Thank you." Leah smiled as they jumped into another conversation.

Coming up on a tall hill:

You can run all you want! I'm still faster than you! Jake said as he picked up the pace and passed Dee up.

Dee's mind cleared of everything and he blocked Jacob out as he ran east away from Jake. Jacob didn't know where the kid was going as he saw the ball fall from the sky at least a mile in front of him. Picking up the pace he ran up to the top of a hill, searching the ground where the ball should have fallen Jake was at a loss until he tilted his head back and saw it stuck in the highest branches of the tree in front of him. Phasing back Jacob jump up to catch a thick branch and pulled himself up the rest of the way. Making his way to the very top he released the ball from the branch it was stuck in and stilled as he saw the view from the top of the tree. He could see all of La Push with its vast amount of trees and little homes scattered about. The sun was just beginning to set sending an orangey red glow over the woods and forest. With his amazing vision he could see to Sue's house with Leah waving goodbye to his sister, his dad's with smoke coming from the fire place, and even Sam's house with Emily getting clean sheets from the line outside.

A loud bark brought him back to reality, taking one last look he started to climb down, taking in his surroundings tree grew sparing on the wide hill top. Jumping down he started making his way back towards his mother-in-laws house thinking about the spectacular view he just witnessed. He was wrapped up in his thoughts and ideas that he didn't hear as Dee came running at full force bringing his head down to plow into his side.

The wind was knocked out of him as he crashed to the ground. The ball came flying out of his hand as he rolled on the floor and phased. Dee scrambled over Jake pushing him into the mud as he grabbed the ball and ran as fast as he could back to Leah while keeping his eyes and mind open looking for Jacob, so he doesn't get him again with another sneak attack. Jacob jumped up to give chase, catching up he could see inside Dee's mind.

She's going to be so happy!

Giving this one to the little pup Jake slowed down to just behind his hind legs and started nipping at him playfully.

Better run faster or I'm going to get you! He playfully growled.

As they made it back to the yard Dee ran up to Leah and dropped the ball; he started jumping around her yipping and barking with joy that he got to give her the ball. Jake lay down on his stomach and barked at Leah. She turned her head to look at the ball of mud that once was her husband and started laughing.

"What the heck happened to you?!" she laughed grabbing the hose…

Hours later:

"I have a surprise for the fastest little wolf!" Leah cheered as she brought out three slices of warm apple pie.

Dee's face lit up as she placed his plate onto the coffee table in front of him. Taking her seat next to Jacob on the couch behind Dee they started up the movie for the night, Dee's choice was "CARS" the Disney movie. Jacob didn't breathe as he shoveled the large piece of pie into his mouth, finishing faster than he would have liked. Looking over at Dee, he watched as the kid wrapped his arm around his plate and brought it closer to his body while his eyes never left the screen. Dee took his last bite and zeroed in on the movie tuning the rest of the world out. Jake turned to Leah as she was still slowly eating hers.

"Can I have bite?" He asked.

"Nope." She said popping the "P". She put another piece into her mouth only to slowly pull the fork out as she moaned in pleasure at the taste of the pie on her tongue.

"Is there anymore?" He asked, licking his lips at her full plate of pie.

"Nope, the rest is for mom. Don't touch it!"

Jake whined as he pulled Leah's closer to him, nuzzling his nose into her hair as he whisper.

"Come on babe just a little bite please?"

"Nope."

Jake went to use his fork to take a bite, but before he could Leah swooped up her plate to the side and licked the top of her pie. Smirking as she brought it back to her lap. Jake laughed at his wife before growing serious.

"Honey, I eat at your restaurant all the time. Do you really think that's going to stop me?" He said in a husky voice, making Leah shiver with hope of a different type of dessert tonight.

"You have a RESTAURANT?!" Dee exclaimed twisting around to face the couple on the couch.

Jacob couldn't hold in the laughter that erupted from his chest. Smacking Jacob to get control of himself, Leah didn't know what to do, but she knew she needed to act fast. Setting her pie down she looked towards him as she grabbed his hands.

"Rachel came by today and said they're having a bon fire tomorrow! I'm going to show you how to make the best S'more Ever! Would you like that?"

"Yes!" He cheered, forgetting about Jacobs comment.

Dee smiled with the idea that they will be spending time together at the beach, after such an awesome day today he doesn't think there could ever be a bad day again as long as he has his Leah... Leah watched as he grabbed his juice off the coffee table and joined them onto the couch sitting beside her so she was sandwiched between them. Turning back to Jake she watched as he shoved the rest of her pie into his mouth with a smile.

Leah growled at him…
