Leah's Imprint

Chapter 10

When I got up the next morning I took a shower, got dressed and ate breakfast so fast I was dizzy.

I was so nervous about today that I jumped when the toaster popped.

Mom came into the kitchen while I was finishing up my eggs. "Hey sweetie. Why were you in bed so early last night?" She sat down across from me after grabbing a cup of coffee.

"I had a really long day." I said pushing my food around my plate.

"What happened?"

Here it goes. "You remember that guy that just moved here?"

Mom looked up from behind her coffee and raised an eyebrow. " The photographer? Yes. I actually ran into him yesterday on the beach. He asked me about any good hiking trails around here. I only know what you and Seth have told me so I'm not sure where he ended up. Why do you ask?"

I stared at my mom and blinked twice. She met him before I did. Did she like him? "Did you like him?" Wow. Talk about word vomit…

"Umm. Yes? He seemed nice enough. Leah is there something you want to tell me?"

"Well you must have told him about the trail that Seth uses from the beach that ends at the house because he was here yesterday…"

"And…?" She had that knowing smile on. The one that she used when I had my first kiss and wouldn't tell her. I blushed, thinking about the first time I saw Daniel's face. " Oh my gosh. Leah Clearwater, are you blushing?"

" I imprinted on him." I whispered looking down. I hadn't wanted to say it yet but it just came out.

I waited for mom to say something but all I heard was her chair sliding across the floor and her steps coming to my side of the table. She knelt beside me and pulled me into a hug.

"I'm so happy for you baby girl. You deserve happiness." She whispered in my ear. Mom pulled back after a minute to look at me. "How do you plan on telling everyone?" she asked.

I told her about talking to the imprints first then telling the council. "Good. That's a good idea. How do you plan to tell Daniel?" I nodded my head that she got the name right. "About everything?"

"I haven't thought that far yet. I guess it depends on what reaction I get from the council."

" Well I hope everything works out. " She got up and brushed off her slacks. "Now I think you've got somewhere you need to be?" I looked at the clock and if I left now I would get to Emily and Sam's right after he left for work and before everyone else got there.

"Yeah. Thanks mom!" I ran towards the door but made a U-turn around a chair back to the kitchen. "Hey mom?"

"Yes Leah?"

"I love you."

"I know honey. I love you too." She made a shooing motion with her arms. "Now scoot!"

I laughed and ran outside.

I didn't want to take my car and it would be faster to phase. I took of my shorts and top and tied them to my ankle before phasing.

Thinking I would be alone because of the time I didn't block my thoughts and they automatically went on with

I can't believe I actually imprinted!

Leah?

I skidded to a halt when I recognized the voice.

Sam!

OK. So let me explain something.

In my story after Breaking Dawn Sam stepped down from being alpha to be able to get a full time job and still be with Emily and they have a 1 year old son. So Sam and the 'La Push Pack' are all in the one pack again with Jacob as alpha. Just wanted to clear that up.
