(an:)SORRY! I know this is really late! I had finals and a bet, which I am currently losing. Also, due to the laws of nature, I have decided to remove the whole Leah pregnancy thing, you will see why shortly, it just seemed a little…Bellaie..to me.
And also, so there is no confusion a few of the facts in my little imaginary world , Dragons and unicorns may live for centuries but the still mature very fast, in this case about 1 and half weeks, vampires can be knocked out and cry, and one should always fear Leah, that's all. Anyhow, here's the Final chapter, ENJOY and REVIEW!

Chapter 8 – please note it is about 2 weeks after the wedding.

"Nathan! Marcus! Jason! Where are you guys?" Leah shouted, wandering around the castle shouting for her boys.
"Leah, I thought y'all were still in South America?" came a voice from behind her. Leah spun and instinctively went into a fighting stance, only to find Alec.
"Oh Alec, you scared me," Leah said her hand on her heart. "We just got back, the boys loved it, and so did my wolf, but I was ready to come home. Why are you standing in the shadows, come out in the light and talk to me." She continued, as Alec stepped forward.
She finally got a good look at Alec. He was wearing black skinny jeans, a loose white t-shirt, and his signature pink converse, but the clothes were nothing to the emotions she saw swimming in his eyes. "Alec, sweetie, what's wrong?" Leah asked, pulling Alec off to the side, sitting in a pair of seemingly ever present chairs.
Alecs' face seemed to crumple, a startling sight as he usually wore a smile, red tears gathered in his eyes and ran down her cheeks. She wrapped her arms around Alecs suddenly small shoulders.
"Oh honey, it'll be ok." Leah soothed. "Tell me what happened, maybe I can fix it."
"Oh, Leah. No one can fix this one. I feel so stupid." He sobbed, tears flowing from his face and soaking into Leahs shirt. "He said he loved me, but not enough to come out, or even take me on a real date. He was going to take me to the wedding, like an official date, but at the last minute he was all. This is Leahs day, do we really want to take it away from her? He was right of course, but still. I'm just fed up with it. So I broke up with him, about 5 minutes ago." Alec said setting up, and whipping the tears from his face.
"Who is it? Do you want me to eat him, because I will." Leah said, and Alec laughed. Imagining Leah hulk out and tearing his EX to shreds. "Seriously, who is he?"
"Leah, I love you, really I do, but it's not my secret to tell." Alec whispered.
"Does Aro know who he is?" Leah asked
"Yes, he's Aro, he knows everything." Alec said with a slight smile.
"Ok, babe, you are gonna go lay down, relax, take a bubble bath, something. And I am going to go find my boys, and your sister, then we'll figure out the next step."
"Yes ma'am." Said Alec before getting up to wander slowly to his room.

"You summoned me, Master?" Felix said as he stood in front of his favorite boss.
"I have a very important task for you."
"Yes, Master." He asked intrigued by the note of secrecy.
"It involves a level of stealth and strength that you, second to Jane of course, are best at. Leah needs this to be delivered to Becca, you remember her, Yes? I need you to sneak, onto wolf land and hand her this in person, and try not to kill that Uley boy. Got it."
"Yes, Master." Felix murmured, think of the kind young woman he had met at the wedding.
"And," Aro continued kindly. "I thought after your break up, it might be nice to get away for a few hours, but then you need to come home and fix this, I shudder to think what would happen if Jane or heaven forbid Leah..."
"Aro!" came a shout from outside the throne room.
"OH HELL!" Aro said, "Felix you may want to run, quickly. That sounds like Leah, and she sounds very angry."
"Yes sir." Said the now frightened guard, as he ran out the door and toward his waiting jet.
The doors were flung open and Leah marched into the throne room, so angry Aro could almost see the steam rising from her ears.
"Who is he?" she demanded.
"Who is who Leah? There are over 350 people, human and vampire employed at the castle you will have to be a little more specific." Aro said not looking up from the paper that had "suddenly" appeared in front of him.
"Don't give me that crap Aro, you know exactly who I'm talking about. That bastard who broke Alecs heart." Leah shouted.
"Leah, it is not my place to out anyone's secrets! Really now, what kind of person would I be." He said, a small smirk on his face.
"Tell me right now, or so help me I will set Nathan lose on your precious baseball card collection!"
"You wouldn't." Aro said, narrowing his eyes.
"Try me…" Leah responded
"Fine his name is…" just as Aro was about to say the name, Marcus ran into the room.
"Leah, you need to see this now." He said before grabbing her arm and pulling her from the room.
-LM-
"Marcus" Leah whined. "I was about to get some much needed information."
"Trust me you are gonna want to see this more." Marcus said, and though she could hear the excitement in his voice, there was also worry.
"OK, ok, what is so important that you had to drag me through the castle to see." She asked as they entered their room.
"Nathan, Jason." He called, and the two came flying. "Watch, do you guys wanna show momma your new trick." The two looked at one another, as if debating whether or not to show her.
"Come on guys, I really want to see your new trick." Leah said.
"Ok, but you must promise not to laugh." Came Jason's soft voice.
"Me? Laugh at the 2 sweetest boys in the whole world? Never." Leah promised.
"ok, come on Nathan lets show her."
"What if she doesn't like it, I would hurt, momma is the only opinion that matters." Nathan said
"I would love anything you guys did. Nathan you have to know that. And always know that no matter what you guys do I will always love you, you're my children. Maybe not born of my body, but my children none the less."
Both boys smiled in their own ways, and simultaneously began to glow. The light got brighter and brighter, until it faded away to nothing. Worried Leah looked at the spot where her two creatures had once stood. At first all she saw was smoke, "Marcus, where are they, where are my babies? They could be hurt! Or worse!" Leah cried, not seeing the two boys standing to the side.
"Mom we're right here." Came a voice from the left. A hand waved smoke away from his face.
"And we're ok." Came a voice from the right. Another hand waving away smoke.
Leah turned and froze at what she saw. Standing to the left of the room, two feet from the spot where her boys had disappeared from stood two boys about 15 years old.
The first was tall broad shouldered and built like a swimmer, his face was narrow, and his ears were pointed. His skin was tanned, and smooth looking.
The second, was shorter and built more like a runner, his face was longer and his skin wasn't as tanned.
Leah was stunned at she started picking out the features of her sons on the faces of these boys. The cheekbones and brow lines. The black hair and smiles. But it was the eyes that finally sealed it in her mind. One's eyes were a brilliant emerald of Nathans, and the others was the opaque black of Jason.
"Oh, my babies!" Leah said rushing toward them, "Oh you scared me, please warn me next time." She pulled them into her arms.
"So you don't mind that we look like this." Nathan said as he put his arms around his mother.
"Ya, because to tell the truth we kinda like this form better." Jason continued for him.
"Absolutely not, I have never cared what you look like. Nor will I ever care what you look like, because you are my boys, as long as you love me, everything will be alright."
"Of course we love you mom."
The three sat for hours and just talked, Leah loved the sound of their voices in her ears, it would have gone on for hours if Felix hadn't returned.
"Lady Leah, I have returned with a letter from your brother and his wife."(AN:sorry I couldn't figure out a way for him to have approached her.) He said formally, before dissolving into an unusual state of seriousness (for him anyway.) "May I ask for some advice Leah?" he asked.
"Of course you can, love. Nathan, Jason, Marcus can you give us a few moments alone." Leah replied.
"Of course," all three replied.
"OK, Felix what's up?"
"Well, I have this friend, right? And, well his…boyfriend just broke up with him, and he wants him back. What should he do."
"Well," Leah said, pretending to think. "First he would have to admit he's gay, in a very public way. And then beg for forgiveness. Or he could take him on a trip but," Leah said, her face becoming dangerously serious, "If you don't fix what YOU did to poor Alecs heart, I will hurt you in a very public and permanent way."
Out of pure reflex, born of living with vampires and the brothers for 3 centuries, Felix replied, "You and what army?" suddenly three very large shadows appeared behind Leah, she and Felix turned to see: One very angry Marcus, one fully grown unicorn its pointed horn glinting ever so slightly in the light, but most impressive was perhaps the 60 foot dragon that had somehow squished it's self into the room.
Leah smiled, realizing that she did indeed have an army at her disposal, "I believe that answers your question, and you would do well to remember that I am a wolf, and I will and can kill you faster than you can blink, and just for the fun of it, I'll put you back together and do it again. Now I suggest, if you truly love Alec, you go find some way to apologize to him, NOW!" Leah said, her voice angry.
Felix ran from the room, now with a health fear of his new mistress, off he went to find his mate and apologize.

2 months later

"Time for bed." Leah muttered, leaning against her husband, after another long ball. "Why does Aro insist on having so many balls?" she asked.
"Because he is an Attention whore." Marcus said with a laugh.
"I love you, Marcus." Leah said "I feel as though I have been waiting for you my entire life." She continued sleepily.
Leah lay down on the bed. And Marcus lay next to her, as she fell asleep Marcus continued to look at her body, more specifically the ever changing tattoo above her heart. It showed two mythical creatures curled together like sleeping children, and above them was written….永遠永遠在一起…. "Forever and always together." Marcus whispered.
Kissing Leah's cheek as she snuggled into his side, he waited for the sun to come up, waited until the time when sleep would no longer take Leah from his side. Waiting for a time when they would have forever.
It frightened him to think what would happen if she ever stopped changing, she would age and she would die. It frightened him to wonder if the boys would survive without her, because he knew he wouldn't.
Suddenly it hit him like a ton of bricks, the wishing crystal!
Flaseback
Marcus stood on the balcony, staring at the stars, he had been alive so long that he had memorize their patterns, and movements, but tonight, his wedding night, they all seemed new. All seemed as if they had just been born.
"And what is the groom doing way out here?" came a soft voice from behind him.
"Hello Sarah. Long time no see. Thank You for coming to my wedding, though if I remember correctly we didn't end on good terms, last we met." He said.
"Well you were trying to eat my favorite subject, Hoggle still isn't over it." She laughed, "now, my old friend, are we done with the small talk, or are you going to tell me what's wrong?" Sarah asked.
"She won't live forever," He said, sadly, he had never been able to lie to Sarah, she was one of his best friends. "One day, she will decide to stop changing and she'll begin to age, she'll grow older and die. What will I do then? Sarah it scares me." He whispered.
Sarah pulled her friend into a tight hug, "Maybe this will help." She said, pulling back. She reached into thin air and with a twist of her wrist she pulled a crystal from nowhere. "Here, call it a wedding gift, it's a wishing crystal, you make a wish and it happens, the only limitation is death, so enjoy. Oh and before you go wishing for her immortality, be sure you ask. Labyrinth magic only works on those who accept it."
"Thank you, Sarah." Marcus said.
"Think nothing of it. Now, back to the party, Nathan has found the goblins under the table, and has convinced the entire group that it's ok to play golf with them, it's very entertaining." Just as she said it, a goblin flew past them, laughing hysterically, and enjoying its self far more than it should.
End Flashback
"Leah, can I make you immortal?" he whispered.
"Sure, whatever. Just let me go to sleep." She said sleepily.
Gripping the crystal, Marcus whispered. "I wish Leah was as immortal as me, so that we can live our lives together." In a puff of glitter and smoke, it was done.
"Forever and always….Together ."
