Leah felt the pain spread throughout her body and cried out. I feel therefore Im alive. She opened her eyes and recognized the person leaning over as the Carlisle Cullen, wearing a apologetic expression. Next to him Billy was gazing down at Leah with a similar look. She looked around and recognized the purple walls of her bedroom wondering who had brought her to her bedroom.
"We were hoping you would sleep through most of it," Carlisle said, reaching for a small needle, "But morphine will do the trick." Leah was hardly aware of the little prick in her arm when the leech injected her with morphine.
"Leah, Carlisle says some of your bones might be set wrong, Leah your healing rate is exponential, and that's working against us. Carlisle will have to re-break the fractures." Billy said, worry evident in his voice. "But the morphine will take all the pain away."
"K." Leah said sleepily, the morphine was making her really sleepy, really fast. The door to her bedroom opened and the pack rushed in behind them Edward, Alice, Emmet and Bella followed. Leah smiled and waved (more like flopped her hand around), happy to see the pack.
"I am so happy to see all of you…all my pack mates…all my leeches…all my special people." Leah said, giggling happily as the pack and the Cullens stared at her bemused. "You're all so pretty."
"Is she ok?" Seth asked, glancing at his sister, who was busy throwing kisses at everyone in the room. "She seems a little too happy." Paul, Embry and Jared nodded in agreement.
"Are you high?" Sam asked, knowing full-well that Leah would never call a leech 'pretty' if she was in full control of her 5 senses.
"Im high on life." Leah answered.
"Yep, shes high." Sam said, Leahs attitude was definitely to perky.
"I love you all so much," Leah said, happy she was surrounded by pretty people. "So much," she continued, extending her arms to show them how much.
"Morphine," Billy said, by way of explanation to Leahs bizarre declaration of love, struggling to hold back laugh at the everyones puzzled expressions. They weren't used to seeing a happy, loving Leah.
"Hey you," Leah called out, pointing towards Edward. Edward turned to look at her surprised that she was pointing at him. "You're really pretty," Leah informed him, grinning at him like a child. But then her smile quickly turned into a frown as she thought of something. "You're like girl pretty…prettier than me."
Bella snorted struggling to keep from laughing at Edwards shocked expression. Alice and Emmet were laughing unable to control themselves. Carlisle tried to hide his amusement behind a serious expression but failed, joining in the laughter.
"Wheres Jacob?" Leah asked, looking around for him wanting him by her side. "Right here." Came the mumbled reply from the doorway.
Leah turned to look towards the door and saw him. He was standing back a ways from the others, his head bowed, his arms crossed. Leah felt her heart accelerate quickly as he looked up and their eyes met. Jacob smiled at her and she grinned back, happy that he was here. "Jakie," she called out, extending her hand for him to hold it. "Come hold my hand."
Jacob turned beet red but walked over to her placing his large hand over her small one. He turned to look at the pack who were all staring curiously back at him. Jacob turned towards Bella and thought he saw jealousy in her expression. Well this was interesting. He turned his back on Bella and looked down at Leah who was knocked out. He felt immensely happy that she was ok, and couldn't help but feel even happier that he was the one she wanted by his side. IT didn't matter if Bella was jealous, it didn't matter if the pack was confused as hell, it didn't matter that he didn't know how Leah felt about him, all that mattered was that right now he was the one she wanted holding her hand.
