Disclaimed!
Leah's POV
I've been at the crypt full time for the past two months, two or three days my ass. I was right, they were planning on keeping me here until I pop. Probably just want to know I'll have puppies. Right now, I'm sitting in a tree waiting for Jacob to come out. He's been reading to the Loch Ness. Not that she can't already read circles around him. She's not even three months yet and she can walk, talk and read. Not that she does, talk that is, she rather use her freaky mind power. That kind is seriously weird, but what can you expect seeing who her parents are.
Jacob lopped out of the house, I had to admit spending so much time with the kid makes him look more his age, which is nice considering that he has so many responsibilities as Alpha, especially since I can't be Beta anymore. Carlisle suggested that I refrain from phasing until after the baby is born. I finally gave in to Edward's whining and agreed to tell Jake the good news. Sigh, I'm already starting to show, it's just a matter of time before he figure's it out. "Hey Lee" he said smiling, "Jasper said you wanted to talk to me?" yep, Jazzy, surprisingly colonel creepy isn't really that creepy after all. I kind of like him, He's actually the one that convinced me to give in and tell Jake. He's very understanding. "Yeah, I do, hold on."
I took the time to actually climb down the tree. Any other time I would just jump, but I had to be careful now. This was my chance I wasn't going to mess it up. It only took a minute for me to get down, but he was still looking at me crazy. I was wearing my old cheer shorts and an MIT sweatshirt the Rosalie had given me. Yeah I know, I was accepting clothes from leeches, but like I said I was starting to show and tank tops… not very concealing.
There was an awkward pause and I could tell he was waiting for me to tell him why I pulled him away from his precious imprint. The Cullen's were very careful to make sure that she was out of sight when I was around. From what I've heard she's not so bad, more like Carlisle and Esme than her actual parents. Meaning, not as annoying as Edwierd and not as stupid and Isatard.
I was allowed to roam now, but only after I promise not to leave. They even went so far as to request Sam's help. He was to alert them if I tried anything; like I couldn't get around them if I really wanted to. Apparently 'Carlisle is concerned', or at least that's what Edward tells me. I decided to tell Jake now, since I'm getting my first sonogram today.
No one knew except the Cullens and my mom. Of course I told my mom. I looked at him, he was still waiting for me to say something, but I didn't know how to begin. He was going to have to break the silence, and he did. "MIT huh?" he asked nodding, a smirk on his lips. "I thought college was for smart people." He laughed taking a step forward. That was Jake, he could be about to look death right in the eye, and he would still make a joke first. As corny as it was, I couldn't help but laugh. I took the hand he offered me to help me over a tree root. Any other time I would have bitten his head off for assuming that I needed help, but the truth is, it's getting a little harder getting around the forest in human form carrying ten extra pounds around the middle.
The walk down the path was silent. We stopped at the lake that ran through the property. Within running distance, just in case. He sat silently waiting for me to speak. He was tense, what was he worried about? I might as well get it over with. "Well, you know, before you…" I couldn't say it. "We were kinda…" Ugh! How do I say this without causing him to run away screaming. I sighed and he spoke "C'mon Lee, it can't be that bad. Just spit it out." Okay, just spit it out. "Alright," I said taking a deep breath. "I'm pregnant." He looked at me for moment. It seemed as if the whole forest went silent at the news.
Leah, the dead-end freak among freaks bitch, went and got herself knocked her Alpha no less. Who went and imprinted on the demon spawn. The Universe must be having a ball right now. I can imagine the powers that be rolling on the floor laughing their almighty asses off. ROTFLMAAO. I kept my head down. I couldn't look at him. I couldn't look at him. "Lee… Leah" he stammered "Are you saying that me? We? Baby? I nodded slowly, still not looking up. "Wow" he breathed "Leah!" He shouted jumping up. Oh great, he's angry. The dam broke and the tears I had been holding back for so long started flowing uncontrollably.
"Leah" he whispered, grabbing my china nd forcing me to look at him. "Why are you crying? Are you okay?" His eyes were soft and full of concern "Are you in pain? Is something wrong? Do you need me to go get Carlisle?" He asked already poised to run to the house. I heard the back door open, no doubt as a result of Jake's panic. "No, I'm fine" I shouted before he could take off. He looked at me, obviously not believing that I was really okay. I'd forgotten that with the exception of Seth and Sam, no one else in the pack had ever seen me cry. They only knew me as a bitter harpy. "Are you sure?" He asked my slowly. "Yeah" I replied wiping my eyes with my free hand "just the hormones." He nodded and sat back down.
"So…" He asked after a long pause "are you okay?" hmm… was I okay? I thought about it. "Yes" This is what I've always wanted, to be a mother, to have my own family. Sam and I had planned it out, before the whole 'Hey! You're a giant dog!' thing happened. Back when I was happy; I realized that that was what I was feeling now, happiness. Jasper! I mentally growled. "Yeah," I replied smiling "I'm great." He smiled at me again, and I felt my heart melt. "Me too" he whispered in my ear before he kissed me. I laid against his chest and he wrapped his arms around me. We stayed like that for a while, just watching the sunset. Of course this being the Olympic Peninsula, it started to rain.
