Chapter 9
Leah Clearwater had never felt more shocked, surprised or confused in her life.
Had Jacob...kissed her?!
She was rooted to her spot on the floor. Her limbs felt like jelly, and her brain had turned to mush.
Jacob Black kissed her.
Jacob Black kissed her.
Jacob Black kissed her.
What the hell?
Almost as if they had rehearsed it, Embry, Seth and Hayley burst into the house.
"Mommy, I got chocolate ice-cream! My favorite!", Hayley trilled, twirling around the room.
"That's great, sweetheart", Leah murmured softly, her head still giddy after the kiss.
"Lee, we have to go", Seth said, scooping up Hayley and plopping her down on the counter, making her giggle.
"Pack emergency", Embry said, answering her unasked question.
"Phase in the woods, please. I don't need Hayley traumatized", Leah said, managing to pull herself together.
Embry nodded.
"Lee, did you tell Jake?", Seth asked, looking at her questioningly.
"Um..."
"Lee!", Seth exclaimed, as Embry groaned in defeat, "What the hell were you doing then?"
Unthinkingly, she put her fingers on her lips.
"He kissed you?! I'll murder him!", Seth yelled.
"See, this is exactly why I don't tell you stuff", Leah muttered.
"Seth, we've got to go", Embry reminded, as he placed his hands on Seth's shoulders and steered him out of the house.
Leah mouthed a 'thank-you', to which Embry shrugged in reply.
"Mommy, where are uncle Seth, and uncle Embry going? What happened to uncle Quil? Who was the man on the beach? He kept staring at me", Hayley fired question after question at Leah, making her smile.
"Mommy, what are you thinking about?", Hayley asked, tilting her head to the right, her earlier questions apparently forgotten.
"Hmm...nothing, sweetheart. Did you like your ice-cream?", Leah asked, chucking Hayley under her chin lightly.
"I liked it very much. It was chocolate, my favorite!", Hayley said, smiling up at Leah, showing her pearly white teeth and dimples.
"Chocolate, huh? What did uncle Seth and uncle Embry get?", Leah asked, her heart aching slightly when she looked at Hayley's eyes.
Jake's eyes.
"Uncle Seth got chocolate, too! Uncle Embry got vanilla, with chocolate fudge. You should come too, mommy"
"Maybe some other time, but for now, it's time for bed, okay sweetheart?", Leah said, smiling fondly at her.
"Okay", Hayley agreed, "I love you, mommy"
Leah swallowed slightly.
This was the reason she hadn't told Jacob. She couldn't lose the affection Hayley held for her.
"I love you, too, sweetie", Leah said, kissing Hayley on her fore-head softly, before adding a soft, "more than you'll ever know"
It was time. She'd made up her mind. Hayley would meet her father.
