We took off after Jacob, but since I was in my human form he was much faster than us. By the time we got to the Cullen's, Jacob was already sitting on the porch, his personal protection in place. "Nahuel!" The little half-vamp shrieked.

"First comes love, then comes marriage.-"

"Jacob, if Nessie wasn't on your lap-" I warned

"Yeah, yeah. I know. I wouldn't be able to sing, then comes the baby in the baby carriage!"

"Nessie, come here! I've got something to show you!"

"What is it Nahuel?" She said, springing up in an instant and worming out of Jacob's loose grip to run to him. God bless my imprint. Jacob was oblivious of the fact she had left his lap because he was still singing.

"Sucking their thumb, peeing their pants, trying to do the hula dance!"

I leapt at him, knocking him to the ground, only to be interrupted by Bella and her annoyingly high voice. "No violence in front of Renesmee!" Huh, I guess things still aren't cool with us, despite what I told Jacob. I could tell I still hated her guts.

Nahuel chose now as the time to taunt me "You spend any longer in that position and I might get worried that I'm not the only one you love."

I shot up and all but ran towards Nahuel. "You don't really believe that do you? You know I still love you and only you, right?" Ugh, when did I become so insecure? Oh, right. At the same time I imprinted.

"I know that, Leah. I was just teasing." He said setting Renesmee down so she could go to Bella and wrapping me in a hug. I sighed and leaned into him, wrapping my arms around his waist.

Finally I pulled away, glaring at him. "Jerk."

"Jerk?" He asked.

"Yes, jerk." I said definitively.

"Okay," he said, grinning evilly and yanking me into his chest.

"Hey! What was that for?"

"You said, 'jerk' so I did. I thought it was one of those 'Jump' 'How high?' things. Only I didn't ask the 'How high' part."

"Very funny, Mr. Comedian you are. I don't see why you just don't get a stage act and a career."

"Oh, bite me." he said, narrowing his eyes in a playful manner.

"How hard?"

"Now who's the funny one?" He asked, lifting an eyebrow.

"Me." I said grinning foolishly.

"Oh, get a room already!"

Jacob pulled me away from the little world I had slipped into with Nahuel. I realized we were not the only ones outside. The whole family was doing something or other. Jasper was refereeing Edward and Alice who looked to be practicing their fighting skills over in the corner of the lawn. They were moving so fast that the only way I could tell it was specifically them was process of elimination.

Esme and Carlisle were tending their flower gardens, moving at about double the speed a normal human would, but I could still see it was them. Wolf eyes rock! Bella was near them playing with Nessie.

Rosalie was busy-boding around, picking up sticks and what-not that were in the way as Emmet was mowing the lawn. It was really disorienting to see him mowing the lawn at a human speed. I mean, don't you think he would be running it and pushing it so he could get it done quicker?

Nahuel looked to where I was staring and said, "He can only go as fast as the machine, otherwise the machine can't handle it."

"What, now you read my mind? Should I start calling you Edward?"

"Actually I was just talking to myself. Looks like we were thinking about the same thing."

"You know what they say, great minds think alike and all that." I turned around and jumped, almost running into previously said Alpha.

"Hope I didn't interrupt anything important. Hint. Hint."

"Jerk." Again I was pulled into Nahuel's chest, this time facing the same way he was. His arms wrapped around my waist and his head was resting on my left shoulder. He whispered into my ear, "I forgot, How high?" causing me to giggle.

"Leah, what was that?" Jake looked shocked.

"A giggle, I believe girls are allowed to giggle from time to time."

"But, you're Leah. You never giggle."

"You can't say never 'cause I just did just giggle, so Ha!" I laughed at him.

"Who are you and what have you done with Leah?"

"I believe you asked the same exact thing the first time you saw me after Samuel broke up with me. So, I am Leah and the imprinting fiasco with Samuel tied me up and left a very mean and snide person to take over. But now I'm back!"

"Ooookaaaay… uuuuuum, I don't remember you being so… energetic before Sam broke up with you."

"I blame it on the newer, better, and an infinite amount more preferable imprinting fiasco that Nahuel caused."

"Whatever. Anyway, I wanted to talk about the implications of yesterday. What happened in that meadow."

"Jacob, we've been over this already. I can't phase anymore. That's the ultimate conclusion. What more could you possibly want to talk about?"

"I've been thinking and the more is the fact you exposed us all for what we really were in front of the leeches! They'll know who we are, where we came from, everything! I understand that you didn't imprint on purpose but… it couldn't have been at a WORSE POSSIBLE TIME!"

"WAKE UP AND SMELL THE BLOOD DOG!" Rosalie shrieked, running up from somewhere behind me and Nahuel. It shocked me that she was coming to my defense. Not that I resented it… much. Then I remembered that she was like me. She wanted kids but couldn't have them. No wonder she was coming to my defense.

"I WASN'T ASKING YOUR OPINION BLONDIE!" Everyone gathered around at this point. Except Bella who took Nessie into the house. That agitated me. When you mix werewolves and vampires there's bound to be arguments, Nessie should get used to that.

"WELL IT LOOKS LIKE YOU NEED IT IF YOU THINK IT WAS LEAH'S FAULT THAT THE VOLTORI CAN NOW FIGURE OUT EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! THEY ALREADY KNOW PRACTICALLY EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU! IN CASE YOU DON'T KNOW, EDWARD KNOWS ALMOST EVERYTHING ABOUT YOU!" She got right up in his face for a moment forgetting about his "wet dog smell".

"YEAH, BUT HE- WHAT'S YOUR POINT? THEY DIDN'T KNOW ANYTHING UNTIL SHE ACCIDENTALLY PHASED!"

"WRONG MUTT! THE MINUTE ARO TOUCHED EDWARD'S HAND, HE LEARNED EVERYTHING EDWARD KNEW ABOUT YOU DOGS! IT WAS NO ONE'S FAULT, ESPECIALLY NOT LEAH'S! IT'S ARO'S GIFT, TO KNOW EVERY THOUGHT A PERSON, OR VAMPIRE, HAS THOUGHT THE MINUTE HE TOUCHES THEM! OR HAVE YOU FORGOTTEN WHILE YOU WERE BUSY PLAYING MR. BLAME-IT-ALL?!"

"…"

"THAT'S WHAT I THOUGHT! NEXT TIME THINK BEFORE YOU START CAUSING PROBLEMS."

"Rose, calm down. We need to talk about this rationally." Carlisle cut in, placing a hand on her shoulder and gently pulling her away from Jacob, who's nose I am pleased to say was pinching from the scent. "Jacob, it was no one's fault. I'm sure Aro even knows about Leah's imprinting." Bella saw the arguing was over so she brought Renesmee back out.

"How would he know that? None of us touched him after it happened." Jacob asked.

Edward cut in "It's Marcus' gift. He can see relationships. He was surprised by what happened between Leah and Nahuel. He was more shocked than when he first saw the love that Bells and I shared. Aro put the clues together and decided that that was probably what happened, and he was interested because he got to see it. But he had to let you go, he had to play Mr. Nice-Guy for his witnesses."

"Thank you Edward." I said stiffly. And then more warmly, "Thanks for getting me out of there. I would have stayed but I wasn't much help in Human form."

"We know Leah." Carlisle said reassuringly. "Now we just need to figure out what Aro's going to do about the wolves. Alice, I know it's a lot to be asking but do you see anything?"

"I've had my inner eye on them since yesterday, after they left. All Aro's decided is to talk to Joham. That's all I can see. It goes black after that. Nothing seems to be coming our way."

"That's fine. If anything changes you'll see it, hopefully."

"I will. Who's up for a game of baseball?"

"Really?"

"Yes, tomorrow night. Tonight there won't be nearly enough thunder. Leah, Nahuel, Jacob. You'll join us right? And the rest of your pack?"

"Of course!" Nahuel and Jacob chimed in. Looks like I was going too.

"I'll play ump. I always was a fan of baseball, I just can't keep up with you guys in human form."

"We've got ourselves a game!" Emmet crowed, speaking up for the first time.
