THANKS FOR THE REVIEWS")...AS PROMISED HERE IS THE NEXT CHAPTER….
JACOB
Seth phased last night, the entire pack expected it, I called Sam when I witnessed Seth showing symptoms. It's safe to say we were are all a bit glad he didn't lose control in front of his family, I don't know how I would've responded if he had lost control anywhere close to Leah or Sammy.
Ironically seeing Sam kiss Emily caused him to phase. Unlike the rest of us he was thrilled to be part of the pack, he had been feeling like an outsider since all of us were hanging out with the man he despised the most, even though Sam showed Seth his memories of when he imprinted on Emily, Seth was still bit skeptical, he couldn't quite grasp the intensity of adoration Sam had towards Emily. We were in Sam's house eating breakfast attacking Emily's chocolate chip pancakes when Seth finally cornered them for answers
"So you mean to tell me that you left my sister because of magic?"
"Seth I know you can't fully comprehend the intensity of imprinting, its like gravity, just that Emily is the one that keeps me on the ground."
"No offense but I find it pathetic, Leah cried herself to sleep for months because of it, are you two planning to ever tell her the truth, she deserves to know especially about this whole wolf business, Sammy could be a future heir"
I hadn't even considered that, none of us knew how long the vampires would stay, god knows we hadn't even considered if Sammy carried the wolf gene.
"I don't know Seth, it's all up too Jake, he imprinted on her, so he has to be the one to tell her" I looked over at Seth, he had a huge grin on his face.
"Ah… that explains why you look like my sister has you whipped."
The rest of the pack started laughing hysterically, well almost everyone, Sam was angry.
"Yes, Seth I imprinted on your sister, but I don't think its time to tell her, let her get settled here, and then we can ease her into it."
"That's fine, for now. But I am going to warn you guys when Leah sees me hanging out with you guys she is going to start asking questions, and Leah isn't one to take no for an answer."
"Well we have just had to come up with an alibi" Seth nodded and looked at the clock it was eight in the morning.
"I should get going, my dad must be anxious to hear about my night, bye guys"
At the sound of hearing Leah's name, I felt a sudden urge to call her, I wanted to hear her voice at least, but I knew I had patrol so that meant I wasn't going to see her until the night. I quickly said my good byes and ran home, I assumed my dad was still asleep so I picked up the phone in the living room and called her cell. It rang three times before she answered
"Hullo" she yawned
"How did the most beautiful woman in the world sleep?" she giggled
"I don't know, I haven't woken up yet I am still dreaming"
"Oh should I call you later then?" I teased
"NO!!! I am awake." I laughed at her urgency.
"So you didn't answer my question"
"Hmm…I slept really well actually...I dreamt of you"
"Interesting, care to share the dream with me?"
At that exact moment I heard Sammy walk into the room from the distance I could hear him ask Leah
"Mommy am I gonna play wiz Sam, Emily, and Claire today?"
"Yes sweetie, Quil is going to pick you up with Claire"
"Yay, wow Qwill too, oh boy thiz iz gonna be so much fun"
I laughed at his enthusiasm
"Sweetie don't jump on the bed"
"Mama imma have lots and lots of fun today!!!"
"Jake, how about I demonstrate how wonderful my dreams were when you pass by later, I have to get my little fun lover ready?" she whispered into the phone
"Okay, good luck, I cant wait to see your demonstration, love you"
"I love you too" I was by far the luckiest man in the world.

I had finished running my patrol and was heading back home to shower and get ready for my night with Leah. I walked into my house and found my dad watching some football game
"Hey dad"
"Hey kiddo, Leah called while you were out, she said that she is feeling sick and that you shouldn't pass by she wouldn't want to pass it to you."
Leah sick? She sounded just fine in the morning, I suddenly started feeling anxious, I needed to see her, I had to be positive that she was awake. Before my dad could say another word I ran out my house and sprinted to the Clearwater's.

LEAH
I had woken up to Jake's breathtaking voice, it was an amazing start to my day. Sammy was going out with Sam, Emily, Quil, and Claire today and to say he was excited would be an understatement he was practically jumping off the walls.
When he heard Quil's car outside he ran like the speed of light towards his "friends" the moment he spotted Claire he ran up to her and hugged her. Quil looked furious at the gesture but I found it adorable. Claire was a very distant niece of mine and I didn't completely understand why Quil was always with her, to be honest it was kind of creepy.
I watched as Sammy and Claire waved me bye from the backseat of Quil's car, I couldn't believe how much things had changed in a week. Last week I would've found it inconceivable to allow Sam and Emily in my son's life, but today seeing Sammy so excited just made me feel as if I had made the right choice.
I walked back into the house and saw my mom getting ready to for work
"Good Morning Mom"
"Hello dear, how are you this morning?"
"I am good, Sammy just left for his father – son day."
"Wow its amazing how things turn out"
"Yeah it is, mom by the way have you checked on Seth?"
"Yes, dear don't worry he is fine, he just needs rest, don't stress yourself out, Seth isn't a baby anymore, he can take care of himself."
"Mom, he's my little brother, he has always been there for me through thick and thin I have to worry."
"Sis, I am fine, I am as healthy as a horse." I turned back to see Seth standing right outside the kitchen
"You sure?" I asked him
"Yes, Lee, I am sure, jeez you're worse than mom"
"Yeah well someone has to worry about you, it seems like everyone thinks you can take care of yourself, but in my eyes your still a kid"
"I am fifteen Lee, I can handle a little cold; so excuse me I am going to take a nap"
I watched Seth walk up to his room, he looked taller and more buff. 'What is he taking?' I asked myself. I decided to go up to my room and finish the unpacking I had been procrastinating on.
As I was about to open one of the boxes, when I felt a sudden wave pass through my body, it left me light headed. I steadied myself on the bed and took a seat, I suddenly felt very cold I quickly lay down on the bed covering myself with my quilt. It had taken no more than two minutes and I was sweating like crazy. I couldn't let Jacob see my like this and God knows I wasn't going to expose him to this virus. I picked up my phone and dialed his number
Billy answered "Hello"
"Hey Mr. Black, its Leah"
"Hello dear, how can I help you?"
"Could I please talk to Jake?"
"Sorry honey he is not in right now, would you like to leave a message?"
"Yes, could you please tell him that I can't see him tonight, I am sick and I don't want to expose him to it"
"Of course I will tell him, as soon as he returns, I hope you feel better"
"Thank you Mr. Black"
"Leah?"
"Yes?"
"Please call me Billy" I chuckled "Okay, I'll try."
I was shaking, it was so cold I felt my forehead; it was burning it felt very much like Seth's fever the night before. I heard honks outside; I realized Sammy had returned from his outing I couldn't find the strength to get up from the bed. I assume Seth opened the door and Sammy came running in I heard his tiny footsteps sprinting up the stairs. He opened my door with the biggest smile on his face, to my surprise Emily was right behind him
"Mommy lwook at my wock!!"
"Honey don't get too close, I don't want you to get sick" I said in a hoarse voice.
"Leah are you okay?"
"Yeah I just feel sick, must be some virus going around, Emily could Sammy sleep over at your house I wouldn't want him to get sick."
"Of course, are you sure you're going to be okay?"
"Yeah, I am fine."
"Okay come on Sammy"
Emily grabbed his hand but Sammy let go and rushed to me
"Mommy I want to stay wiz you, I can be your doctow" I placed my hand on his cheek
"Sweetie please go with Emily you can have a sleepover with Sam"
"Mommy are you sure?" I nodded. "Okay, I wuv you"
"I love you too"
He left with Emily and I felt tears running down my cheek I hated not having Sammy with me, but I didn't want him to get sick, seeing him in pain was unbearable.
I took a nap when the shivering seemed to calm down, and when I opened my eyes I saw Jake sitting on my wooden chair. I tried to sit up but the room was spinning, before I knew it Jake had me cradled in his arms
"How are you feeling babe?" he told me as he kissed my forehead. I simply shrugged I felt so safe in his arms.
"Lee, your burning up" he said shocked
I didn't have the energy to talk so I just snuggled closer to him. He tightened his hold on me and lay on the bed with me. We were quiet for a long time; Jake broke the silence by demanding that we called a doctor.
"No, Jake I don't want to call a doctor I just want you to hold me" my voice was incredibly hoarse.
"Lee please, a temperature that high is dangerous"
"Please, Jake your all the medicine I need, I feel loads better now that you're here."
"Fine, but if you get worse I am calling a doctor"
"Okay"
"Now rest my love, I will stay with you forever" he gave me a small kiss on the lips.
"That's all I want" I said as I fell asleep in his arms.
Tell me what you think…this chapter was surprisingly hard to write…Review please
Okay so just in case your wondering Jake hasn't put the pieces together he thinks Leah just has the flu, let's not forget woman aren't supposed to phase, so when Leah gets a fever no one in their right mind consider the symptoms.
F.y.i. many of you are wondering if Leah and Jake have had sex. No they haven't and they won't for a while. It's only kissing for now. It's safe to say Leah is a bit paranoid about getting that close.
Preview Next Chapter:
It is Leah's big day. Secrets will be revealed and hearts will be broken...again.
