(A/N: I don't really like this chapter as much, but I guess it's okay. You have to know this for this chapter to make sense: Scarlett knows about the werewolves and imprinting, but she doesn't know about the Cullens or Renesmee. Enjoy! And review!)

Part Four

"Trying not to lose your own, boxing up everything you've got

All you ever knew of home, you're scared, scared to see

Your mother there, in the door, you wonder where did the years go."-The Fray, Where the Story Ends

Jacob sits on the bed, still smiling at Scarlett.

Scarlett's mouth turns into a scowl as she says, "I said I would try to accept you. Are you planning to leave now, or do you have another cheesy speech for me?"

Jacob laughs nervously. "You're just like your mother," he mumbles. "I'll leave now."

He walks to the door with a final glance at Scarlett, then steps into the hallway to see Leah standing in front of him.

"Listening in on our conversation, Leah?" he asks coolly. "Didn't anyone ever tell you that eavesdropping isn't very polite?"

"I was just waiting so I could speak to my daughter," Leah says.

"Our daughter," Jacob corrects under his breath.

"No, Jacob, my daughter. Maybe if you had stayed around to raise her, she could be your daughter also, but it's too late to change that now, isn't it?"

Jacob cringes with her words as she disappears into Scarlett's room.

"Hey, Scarlett," Leah says softly, in the voice she uses only around her daughter.

"Mother," Scarlett answers, cold and emotionless.

"Scarlett-" Leah starts to talk, but is interrupted.

"Why didn't you tell me about my father?" Scarlett sounds close to tears. "Why did he leave us in the first place? Why does he appear out of nowhere now?"

"Scarlett," Leah repeats in a quiet voice, trying to calm her down. "I didn't know that he was going to come back. I thought he was gone forever. He left because he had to. He left because he imprinted. He wanted to break the imprint so he could be with me…us, without having to worry about his imprint."

Scarlett looks at her mother in disbelief. "Yeah, I'm sure that was the reason. Imprinting makes nothing else matter but the imprint. What's so great about us that he would try to break the imprint?"

Leah sighs and shakes her head. "Your father's always been one to do crazy things."

"Who did he imprint on?"

"Renesmee."

"What kind of name is that?"

"A stupid one."

Scarlett and Leah share a small laugh, then Leah sighs again.

"Your eyes are exactly like Jacob's," she mumbles, more to herself than Scarlett. "I think that's what gave me hope all these years, looking into your eyes and know that he might come back."

"Mom?"

"Yeah?

"Stop being so cheesy. You're turning into Jacob."

"I know." Leah shudders in mock horror.

Leah and Scarlett laugh quietly as Leah glances out the small window. The sky is growing dark, and she can see a star or two in the sky. Even though she's still suspicious of him, she wonders where Jacob is going to sleep tonight.

(A/N: I don't really like the end of this chapter, but it's better than my original ending, and it leads into the next chapter. Remember to vote in my poll if you haven't already, and review!
