A/N: Here's chapter 6! Things heat up a little and I hope that you enjoy it! 1,000+ So far, LOVE the attention my story's getting, so a big shout out to all those who've read, reviewed, Favorited and are following. A reviewer pointed out that I didn't add Leah's Dad, Harry Clearwater, and his reaction to the Council scene, so I'm putting it in now.
Leah POV
"Hey, Lee," Dad's voice calls from my bedroom door, I see his form appear.
"Hey, dad," I smile, approaching him, "What's up?"
"You seem serious about that...boy," Dad prods, and I nod.
"Imprinted on him, remember," I reply, "When I first Imprinted on him, I was scared, but now, I don't think I could have Imprinted on a better person."
"Just," Dad hesitates, "Be careful."
"Always, Dad," I comfort.
Jasper POV
August, 2004
I breathe unnecessarily as I walk down to the living room where Carlisle is seated with Esme, watching a news program. "Hey, Carlisle," I ask hesitantly, "Can I talk to you for a minute? In private?"
"Sure," Carlisle nods, smiling as always. "Let's go to to my study," Carlisle directs to the familiar doorway that is his doorway. "What do you want to talk about," Carlisle asks as he stands by his desk and I stand by a chair.
"For the past two months I've been seeing this girl," Carlisle perks up a little. I feel curiosity and interest coming from Carlisle.
"That's great news," Carlisle congratulates, "How's your bloodlust around her?"
"Non-existent," I beam, "I want to invite her over to meet you, but there's a problem."
"What's that," Carlisle asks.
Taking an unneeded breath, I continue, "You know those wolf shifters in La Push?" Carlisle nods, knowing of them because of the treaty he made with a previous generation of them, "She's one of them."
If Carlisle were human, he would probably stumble or collapse in shock, but instead, he freezes for a little, "Jasper," He warned.
I held up my hand for him to hear me out, "Hear me out for a second. She Imprinted on me." When Carlisle's face flashed a brief tone of confusion I continued, "It's a type of mating mechanism for wolves, and I was the subject of her's. Leah, that's her name, would never dream of hurting me, nor I her."
Carlisle sighs, standing straight up, "I can't say I expected this, Jasper."
"Neither did I," I shrug, "But now it happened, I don't want it to un-happen. She's amazing, Carlisle." I continue laying on how much I enjoy being with Leah, how I love her personality, her beauty and her charms.
"She sounds really nice," Carlisle nods, and I can feel his curiosity and want to meet her.
"She is," I agree.
Leah POV
Driving to the Cullen house with Jasper is making my wolf nervous, but it is quelled slightly with the Jasper's presence. I decided to wear a yellow and blue striped sundress and blue sandals. Dad, being one of the Council members, had given me a variant of the 'Be Careful' talk every father gives their daughter when she's going out with someone he doesn't particularly like. I understand what he's saying, for I'm basically going into a leech hole with no real back up and my only defense is my wolf form which is only good until more than two or so vampires gang up on me.
"Nervous," Jasper looks at me as we pulled up to the Cullen Mansion.
"A little," I state, though I don't have to, Jasper already knows how I feel.
"Understandable," Jasper takes my hand in his before releasing it and stepping out of his Jeep. Within the same second, Jasper was in front of my side, opening my door for me. "Milady," Jasper held out his hand for me to use as I stepped down.
"My Lord," I smile back, brushing my dress unnecessarily. My wolf howls a little inside me again, making me tense a little.
"It'll be okay," Jasper states, taking my arm in his, "I'll make sure of it."
Jasper POV
I can feel the prickling of Leah's discomfort but she didn't show it as we enter the foyer of the Cullen house. "It's...nice here," Leah gasps in awe at the magazine like room. I can feel the slight hint of overwhelming and the feeling it's too much from Leah.
Shrugging, I put my arm around it, "Don't like it too much. Feels like a magazine." Leah smiles, relaxing a little knowing she didn't have to exactly like it to appease me. I pulled Leah closer and lead her up to the living room where Emmett, Rose, Carlisle and Emse were waiting expectantly. Alice was off tending to Emo Edward, who decided not to join because he didn't want to celebrate another finding their mate. I swear, at the rate he's going, I doubt he'd fine them all, if going on how often he leaves the house.
Rose is the first to react as we enter, billowing over to us and hugging me. "Leah," Rose bows a little before giving Leah a quick hug. Emmett and Esme, follow Rose in greeting Leah. Leah, though still slightly on edge, calms down greatly after the greetings. Leah and I sit on a plush and soft love seat, Leah leaned into me. Leah and I made small talk with my family for about 45 minutes before Edward, followed by Alice, decided to make his presence known.
"What is that girl doing here," Edward asked petulantly, like a spoiled child. I instinctively pull Leah closer, in case Edward decided to be a punk and try and attack Leah, even though I know she can defend herself.
"That Girl, Edward," Carlisle corrects, "Is your brother's new girlfriend, Leah."
Edward scoffed a little, but is silenced by the growling from not only Leah and I but Emmett and Rosalie, the latter of which appears between Edward and the rest of the Cullens. "Listen here, Eddie," Rose scolds, "Don't go and ruin this for Jasper or I'll rip your head off and shove it up your ass where it belongs." Leah's emotions spike from concern to joy, content and the beginnings of a familiar bond with Rose. "If you can't be sociable, leave," Rose threatens, hands on hips. Edward scowls at her but even his Emo Telepath scowl can't hold up to a Rose Pose, making Edward retreat without Alice.
Alice floats into the group, but stays away from Leah with a scrunched nose, choosing to sit as far away as possible. We start talking again without much trouble, save the fact Alice chose to sit out, gazing into the future multiple times. Rose and Emmett seem especially interested in Leah outside a scientific point of view like Carlisle sees her. Leah seems to pick up on Carlisle's views, especially after he started asking her all these questions about her phasing and how it affected her.
After about an hour and a half and promises to Rose and Emmett, I managed to pry Leah out of Carlisle's line of sight and returned her car, parked on the treaty line, in one piece. With a kiss we both returned to our respective homes.
A/N: So, Chapter 6. I figured that Jasper would've wanted to talk to Carlisle about Leah's Imprinting like she did to the Council. Edward is being pre-Bella Edward; emo and snarky towards Jasper because he's got something Edward doesn't. I figured that Alice didn't want to get close to Leah because she couldn't 'see' Leah and probably wouldn't let Alice push her around like she does Bella. I think that Alice and Edward would be super close because they're two of the three gifted vampires in the family, as well as the fact that their abilities are similar enough to mesh well.
