Seth P.O.V
"Is this meeting really necessary?" Embry says scrawling out on the sand.
"Franco says he has something to talk to us about" Says Emily taking her spot beside Sam on a log. It's nearly been a year since Leah left and the time just seemed to fly by. Things are just starting to get back normal around here... but it's very clear that my mother will never be the same. The amount of guilt that she harbours inside of her is guilt that everyone feels. But my mother was the only one who wore it on her sleeve. I know Renesme's at this meeting because I could smell her... after a while the stench just faded cause she was around us all the time. Maybe it was the fact that she was half human too cause the rest of the Cullen's still reeked to the nines.
Everybody gets themselves acquainted and when everyone is sitting down and ready. Franco and two other Elders come into the circle.
"What's going on are we in danger?" Sam asks.
"... We're not sure." Says Franco everybody starts talking all at once asking questions, starting their own conversations. People are mentioning the Volturi some the Denali's other wolf clans. No one knows exactly what this is leading to.
"Please let's calm down," Says another elder Henai. Everybody slowly quiets down and Franco goes back to talking.
"A purebred ware wolf has been conceived." Franco says. Embry puts up his hand.
"Isn't that... like a myth?"
"No there's one living pure bred wolf living right now and he's... extremely powerful he basically runs all magical creatures in the world." Franco explains.
"How come we've never heard of this special purebred wolf who's so powerful?"
"Well because he's like royalty... he has prestige and-
"We're just another mediocre pack of wolves." Sam says with a little shrug.
"Yes plus... this wolf is more universal he deals with all magical creatures not just wolves... he's a saviour ... a king." Franco explains.
"So what's this meeting about then... there's another one being born? What's the big deal?" I ask lazily wanting to get to the main point of this meeting.
"The point is the magical world had no idea how the first purebred wolf was created and now all clans have been notified that there's a magical baby being born"
"And..." I still prod not knowing exactly why this was even a conversation. So the king was having a baby.
Like I gave a fuck.
"Well the magical world has been talking and... this baby is powerful, very powerful people couldn't believe the amount of things this baby could do... the mother is powerful also." He explains.
"Again like Seth said... what is your point?"
"There's this thing called the five covens." He starts. "The king and queen are going to choose five covens that bless the baby at the Dark day." He explains. I went back on my knowledge of what I know of "Dark days" ... They were like magical christening for baby wolves that the parents had when they didn't want the baby to grow up evil... red eyed wolves. I don't know who this king and queen are but they probably should have a Dark Day an evil wolf with all the power they possess... the world could be in shambles. I feel bad for the parents just thinking about all the creatures that are going to try and turn that baby evil.
"At the dark day they'll have a lot of magical creatures' very powerful creatures we can make alliances with." He says.
"Why would we need to make alliances with any other creatures... we're fine." Embry says not liking the idea of having to dress up and go play nice with ... mermaids or some shit.
"If this clan can get into the baby's dark day and rub elbows with the king and queen so to speak." Henai says.
"So you want to use this innocent baby's dark day... as a way to get yourself into the magical inner circle basically?" Emily says not liking that idea. By the looks on everyone's faces no one liked this plan either.
"Why the long faces... other covens across the world are going to be trying to do the same thing... We get in there and it'll do wonders for the reservation if we had other creatures to help us... the king and queen even... trust me we're not the only ones trying to rub elbows."
"Yeah but we're supposed to be better than that." Jacob says with an eye roll as he wraps his arm around Renesme.
"Plus if there so full of power and prestige what makes you think they're going to want bummy ass forks wolves protecting the most magical baby in the history of the world to date... since it's father." Says Paul with a look that's begging the elders to get a grip on reality.
"They pick the covens based on what it has to offer. We need to stand out against the other covens so that means double shifts expanding territory." Franco explains everybody groans.
"It's what's best for this reservation... remember that you made an agreement to do what's best for the people here... these resources could be amazing and make La Push even better than it already is."
Greed... we're going to be overworked because the elders are statues seeking greedy old men... fucking perfect.
"If it's what's best for the reservation we'll do what we have to but even then we can't guarantee we'll be noticed by them... you said it yourself covens all around the world are trying this." Says Sam always being the realistic one,
"We know but try you're best." Henai says before all the elders dismiss themselves.
"I'm not even about extending territory that's going to take forever the wolves in the east are such fuckers." I groan laying on my back.
"Well we have no choice man." Jacob says getting up. I stare at the sky.
It's a good thing Leah wasn't here... she wouldn't have like this kissing ass plan at all. I wonder if this plan does work out and we get all the connections... maybe she'll come back once she realises that the people on La Push will always be all she will ever have.
Leah P.O.V
"For God sakes Jenny I am not drinking that tea it gets me angry just thinking about it." I say from my desk in my office.
"Must I comment on how moody you are lately?" She says as she cleans around the office.
"What are you even doing here... you're my housekeeper not my life keeper you nut... don't touch those." I say reaching out my hand quick and moving the 6, 000,000 dollar vase with my power to the left away from her. She pouts from where she's standing as she was just about to clean it.
"No fair you have your crazy magic and the baby's crazy magic... you get to do a bunch of cool stuff I'm so proud of you for being able to control it."
"I could control my magic a while ago its the babies magic that I can't" I say as I read an entry on pure breed baby wolves... there are barely any because they are so rare and in this book they ... aren't even supposed to exist.
"This is great." I say frustrated as I stare at the page telling me my child doesn't exist.
"No luck on information huh?" She says. I shake my head. "What exactly are you looking for?" She asks coming beside me.
"Anything... this is a special baby I need to know how to keep her safe, what to expect, what I should look out for... I say as I press my hand to my stomach. Jenny looks at me softly.
"You know there is someone who knows exactly about pure bred wolves." She suggests to me softly raising her eyebrows. I shake my head.
"I'm not going to Zavior ok I told him that if I left I was never coming back and I meant that."
"Leah Zavior can keep you and the baby safe."
"We're not in danger right now." I say roughly turning the page. She doesn't say anything and I look at her. I groan. "That's why you won't leave me alone." I say. She just looks at me.
"We think it's the same creature that sent you through the window."
"Why didn't you tell me sooner!? I could have gotten killed if I had no warning, Jenny this is so irresponsible of you." I scold her the queen in me coming out. "What do you have to say for yourself?"I demand.
"I told her not to say anything." Says a voice I know all too well. I look up to see Zavior standing there looking as handsome as ever. My stomach was doing back flips... and it wasn't me... it was the baby.
Mommy daddy's here!
Says a voice in my head and I look down at my stomach in surprise. I put my hands to my stomach in shock.
"What is it?" Zavior asks keeping his distance from me but inching closer at the same time.
"I can hear the baby's thoughts." I say quietly. Jenny looks at me worried.
"That wasn't supposed to happen." She says mostly to herself. Both Zavior and I look at her.
"What do you mean Jenny?" He asks looking at her.
"... Nothing I just meant that, that's really weird is all." She says and I look down at my stomach again. This baby was growing stronger and stronger by the minute. Zavior is staring at me and Jenny gets the hint.
"I'll go pack up your bags at the hotel."
"That won't be necessary" I say as I turn my face to my computer. "I'm not going back to the estate." I say. Jenny gives Zavior a look and he just gives her a nod telling her to go. She leaves and he looks at me.
"What do you want Zavior." I say lowly.
"Come home Leah." He whispers.
"No." I say finishing the conversation right there.
"Leah I didn't mean what I said."
"You always mean what you say." I say getting up and going to the window.
"Not about that Leah... I meant what I said when I told you that I loved you... and that I would do anything to keep you safe... not keeping it is... the best thing."
"I can't do it Zavior... I'm sorry."
"Then you don't have to... but please love, come home." He says.
"I can't be with you if you don't want this baby ... I love my child more than I love you and that's just the way it is."
"Leah I know that's the way it is but I can't lose you baby." He says quietly.
"You should have thought of that before you told me that I was only with you to take your money or to kill this baby if that's who you think I am we have nothing Zavior. I got this job without you I got promoted without you I am successful with or without you and the only thing I needed you for was your love. Not your money." I rant. He closes his eyes.
"I know that Leah... it was a stupid thing for me to say I seriously didn't mean it. Baby come back to the house... you're what makes it a home"
"You don't want this baby Zavior... so I don't want you...and I told you if I left... I was never coming back." I say as I sit down.
"Leah you're my queen that's my heir." He says desperately as he leans over the desk. I look up at him into the grey eyes I love so much.
"You should have thought of that." I say. He just looks at me solemnly.
"I'm not giving up on us." Is all he says before he disappears before my eyes.
I miss you.
Says the little person in my stomach. I look down at it still amazed that I can hear the baby's thoughts.
"I miss him too." I whisper. Wanting my baby to know that as long as I was alive. He or she was never alone like I always was. I was going to be the mother that my mother never was.
One month Later.
"So transfer those files over to Russians and when that's done I want Dr. Lee on the line we need to talk about that suspicious cheque of his and can you make sure that those crystal vases got flown to the right location this time. We lose those things one more time and I'll implode I swear." I say to my workers all in my office writing down the orders I have for them for the day.
"Tara Reid is still calling."
"Tell that bitch she thinks she can buy a 15, 000 dollar artifact with saving bonds it won't work I already told her it's not protocol... it's stupid." I say the workers snicker and I roll my eyes. That woman was a pain in my ass. This was a professional company... why in the fuck was she giving me savings bonds?
"Anything else Leah?" One of my interns asks... she was like my age. Realistically I was supposed to standing with these interns I was fortunate enough to be able to move up ten times faster than any of them are going to be able to... I think it was the fact that Zavior was so successful that I wanted to be successful independently to for him... for myself and now my motivation was my baby.
"Yeah can someone please go get me crackers with lots of salt and a junior chicken from McDonalds?" I ask. They all raise their eyebrows at me.
"She's pregnant remember." Says Gordon one of my male workers the rest of them all get faces of "OH YEAH" before they jot on their notepads. I originally didn't want anyone besides my boss knowing of my pregnancy just because of how rocky things were... plus on top of that I didn't want people to think that because I was pregnant that I would have to stop taking certain shifts at work. Cause that was not happening. I loved my baby and just because I chose to work does not mean that I loved it any less.
Right on cue Jenny walks in with that stupid drink and I just get so annoyed by it. The employees excuse themselves.
"Jenny I'm not drinking that." I say as I type things into the computer.
It's bad for me mommy.
"See even the baby says it doesn't like it." I say as I type.
"Children never knew what was good for them." She says smiling as she puts the drink down on the desk. I look at it and turn my nose up at it before looking at Jenny's face.
"... Jenny go home, I mean it I've had enough of you." I say to her as I pick some files and go to file it away to the filing cabinet. I go back and sit down at my desk.
"No can do Leah, Zavior sent me here to keep you and the baby safe so that's exactly what I have to do."
"Jenny you have no magic... this baby can protect itself better than you can protect the both of us." I say rudely. She narrows her eyes at me and I sigh. "... Sorry... hormones." I apologise.
"Maybe you should take a break you're really working a lot these days which isn't good for the baby."
"I have a lot of things to get done I can't just stop working Jenny." I say taking a sip of the drink and cringing.
Honestly this stuff tasted like ass.
... My own thought. Not the baby's. Jenny just sighs as she looks at me.
"I'll be in the downstairs keeping tabs on security." She says. I give her thumbs and she walks away. I work really late at the office and by the time I go home Jenny's already back at the hotel... probably fixing me more of that stupid ass drink. I'm grabbing my purse when Gordon walks into my office.
"Hey Gordon can I get you anything?" I ask as I put my black trench coat on putting a lock of my black hair behind my ear.
"No nothing really." He says walking in. I smile at him... this kid was so awkward.
"Ok well I was just leaving." I tell him. I open the door for him to walk out.
"See you tomorrow." I say. He doesn't move from where he's standing.
"How are you and the baby's father right now?" He asks me and I close my office door.
"Why do you ask Gordon?"
"You never talk about him."
"I never talk about anything personal Gordon because this is work... we aren't friends." I say calmly.
"Give me the baby." He says suddenly his eyes turning red and his voice sounding inhuman. It's only then that I realise that Gordon was a demon. I try opening the door but he throws a ball of energy at it and I run behind my desk. I take the half empty glass of that stupid drink and throw it at his eyes to throw him off track but when I do that his whole body turns red and he erupts into flames. He screams as he's being disintegrated. Wind blows in my face and I cover my eyes when he's gone I'm breathing hard and my heart is beating a million times a minute.
Mommy I'm scared.
"Don't be scared baby I'm right here." I say touching my stomach trying to calm my breathing I look at the broken glass and that's when I realise that the drink Jenny was giving me wasn't to make me strong at all... but to kill my baby... it was poison.
I run home to the hotel and when I get there and I see an already prepared drink on the dining room table I look to find jenny cooking in the kitchen. When she sees me she smiles and walks over.
"Your night time drink is done." She says. When she looks at my facial expression she gets a worried look on her face.
"What's wrong Leah... and why do you have a cut on your forehead."
"What is in that drink."
"Herbs." She answers too quickly.
"You're lying!" I yell at her.
"Leah-
"It's poison... who are you." I yell grabbing her by her neck and using my super strength. Never in a million years did I think I would be doing this to Jenny.
"I'm from the future." She screeches and I drop her on to the floor she's gasping for breath.
"Leah... I really don't mean any harm to you or Zavior... but Jefferson and I are from the future and the first time you got pregnant with your baby girl she caused destruction... She's just a baby but she grows up to nearly kill all good in the world... including her younger brother... you're son."
"Does Zavior know about this?" I ask.
"No... Jefferson and I were sent back to make sure that... things go right this time." She says and by the look she had towards my stomach I knew she meant kill my child... and I don't care what dimension she came from or what alternate universe she was a part of... no one was touching my baby.
