Waking Up and Sam

(EPOV)

After we dealt with the vampires at Leah's house we came back to my house. Leah was due to wake up soon. I was not sure how much information Paul and Jared have told Rachel and Kim so as soon as we walked into the house I asked "Paul and Jared how much do Rachel and Kim know?" I saw them look at each other and then Paul said "I told Rachel everything I didn't feel comfortable keeping it from her. She knows that she can't tell Sam and right now she is focused on helping Leah. Rachel is pissed but not at any of us. She is pissed at Sam because of what Leah has went through and is about to go through." I nodded at him and looked at Jared and he said "I also told Kim the truth. She too is mad but not at Leah or anyone here. She wants to be able to help Leah through this. Leah and Kim use to be real close so I think that Kim will do her some good." I nodded at both of them and called out "Rachel and Kim can you come in here please?" I saw Jared and Paul look at me but then both nodded their heads at me.

Rachel and Kim walked into the living room and I said "Why don't you two have a seat? We have a few minutes before Leah is due to wake up and we need to talk." I waited until they were seated before I said "Thank you both for wanting to help Leah. I really appreciate it. Over the last couple of months Leah and I have become really close and I do not want her hurt. I also want to thank you for agreeing not to tell Sam yet that he is the father. Right now Leah does not need the stress that can bring. On top of that we are going to need to make sure that she is perfectly safe. Someone wants her dead and I do not know why. They want her dead bad enough that they are paying Vampire's to kill her so it has to be someone who knows that Vampire's exist. If you two need anything or a car while you are here do not hesitate to ask for one. I will make sure that you have what ever it is that you need. We have about fifteen minutes before Leah wakes up. Do you have any questions?" I looked at Jared and Paul and then at Kim and Rachel and they all shook their heads. Little did I know that a certain wolf heard what I was saying? The next thing I know there is a wolf howling in pain. I looked at Jared and Paul who had jumped out of their seats and looked at each other and then I and Jared said "That is Sam." I looked at both of them and went and opened up the front door and sure enough Sam's scent hit me in the face.

I yelled "Bella, Alice, Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, Carlisle and Esme I need you now!" They all came running and I looked at Bella and said "Love I need you, Alice, Rosalie, and Esme to stay with Kim and Rachel. I want all of you in the room when Leah wakes up. Jasper, Emmett and Carlisle I need you three to come with Jared, Paul, and me. I was thanking the girls for agreeing not to tell Sam that he was the father of Leah's babies and we heard a howl. Jared and Paul confirmed that it was Sam's howl and when I opened up the door I smelled his scent. He must have come over to be here when Leah woke up and heard what we were talking about. Seth you stay here with your mom and everyone else so Leah sees that you are here. Whatever you do keep Jake away from her and keep her calmed. If you have to sedate her because she does not need to be phasing. We will be back as soon as we can." After I said that I kissed Bella quickly and then Jared, Paul and I were running out of the house.

(Sam POV)

I wanted to be at the Cullen's house when Leah woke up. I'm very worried about her and I want her to know that if she needs anything I'm here for her. Emily got mad at me when I told her where I was going and why but I stood firm. I wanted to Leah to know that if she needed me I would be there for her. Emily was so mad at me but for the first time I didn't do what she wanted me to do. I was about to knock on the door when I heard Edward talking. When I heard the words "I want to also thank you for agreeing not to tell Sam that he is the father" my heart stopped and then sped up. I ran away from the Cullen's house and phased not caring that I didn't have any clothes to put back on.

I looked up to the sky and let out a painful and sorrowful howl. How could they not want to tell me that I'm the father of Leah's babies? How can I be the father of Leah's babies? We have not done anything since the day before I broke up with her to leave her for her cousin. Is this some kind of sick joke. I heard others phase and I could hear Jared saying in my mind "Sam calm down man! We will tell you but you need to calm down. Think of Leah and your babies! Calm down dude!" I howled again and said in my mind "How in the hell can you tell me to calm down? You're supposed to be my best friend Jared but yet you were keeping this from me! How could you do that to me? Don't I deserve to know that I'm going to be a father?!?!?!" I could hear a growl and I looked up and saw Edward. I know that we could talk in my wolf form so that is how I was staying.

I growled back at him and said "What the fuck Edward?!?!?!? How could you not tell me that I'm the father of Leah's babies?" He growled at me and said "I did not tell you because honestly right now you did not need to know. My number one concern is Leah. I thought it best that she be the one to tell you that you are going to be a father if she chose to tell you. Leah does not need the stress Sam!" I looked at him and then heard Paul say "Phase back to human Sam. Let us all talk this out. I have a pair of pants for you." I growled and looked at him but phased back. He threw me a pair of pants and I quickly put them on. I looked at Jared, Paul, Edward, Jasper, Emmett, and Carlisle and said the question that I couldn't get off of my mind "How am I the father? We haven't done anything since the day before I left her for her cousin." Carlisle looked at me and said "Leah was pregnant when she phased the first time Sam. When she kept phasing the baby stopped growing. When she stopped phasing a month ago because she was not feeling sick the babies have started growing again. When I did the paternity test I still had the results from the blood test I did on you and Embry so I compared the sample from the babies to you and it showed that you are 100% the father Sam." I wanted to die right then because I have an imprint and I can't leave her and I want to be there with Leah every step of the way. I put my head in my hands as Edward spoke to me "Sam there is a lot going on right now and I know you have to think about what to do. I have one question for you and I want a truthful answer. Do you love Leah?" I lifted my head and looked him straight in the eye and said "With all of my heart!" I heard all the guys gasp and I realalized what I said. I didn't feel guilty for admitting that I love Leah. Edward nodded his head and said "I want you to brace yourself. I have a feeling the next couple of hours, days, and weeks is going to be hell on Leah. I do not mean just with her pregnancy. We still have to protect her because somebody hired vamps to kill her. I think I may know who but I will not say until I know for sure because I am not going to hurt someone by saying something if they are innocent. I think for now the only ones who need to know who the father of the babies are is the pack, the Cullen's and Kim and Rachel. Sam I do not want you to tell Emily. Leah does not need the stress of that right now." I nodded at him because what he was saying was true.

Before I could say something though a scream ripped through the forest from the direction of the Cullen's house. We all looked at each other and took off running. I was afraid of what we were going to find. I just knew that I couldn't and wouldn't let any harm come to Leah or our babies. I may love her but right now I couldn't tell her that. I have to think about what it is I'm going to do. I also need to let the Elders know about the attempts on Leah's life and the fact that someone hired vamps to kill Leah. When we got to the Cullen's house what I saw surprised me.

(LPOV)

I could feel the pain that I was in and tried to fight it back. I needed to wake up and I pushed and pushed my way through the blackness. I wasn't sure how long I had been out but I heard what everyone was saying to me and to others. When I heard Jake say the things he did I decided that I was going to hurt him. How could he think such things about me? Did I mean so little to him as a friend and as his Beta? When I finally opened my eyes I saw a lot of women standing beside me. The first person I saw was Bella and through my raw throat I said "Bells." She looked at me and rushed over to my side and gave me a gentle hug. She whispered in my ear "I'm so glad that your back Leah. You had me worried sweetie." I hugged her back and looked around and I was surprised that I saw Kim and Rachel.

Kim and Rachel both walked over to me and gave me gentle hugs. I looked at them and said "What are you guys doing here?" Kim smiled and said "Well Jared and Paul along with your mom and Seth have moved in here. Rachel and I decided we were coming too. We all love you and we want to help you. Please do not push us away Leah." I smiled at her and said "Thank you for wanting to be here. I will not push you away. I have triplets to take care of so I am going to need all the help I can get." I heard a snarl from the doorway and saw Emily standing there. I smiled at her but that smile was whipped off of my face when she came into the room and slapped me hard across the face. She then hit me in my stomach and I screamed really loud.

I wasn't strong enough to fight her off and I wasn't even sure what set her off. I know that everyone had decided not to tell Sam he was the father because I could still hear while I was in the coma but I couldn't talk. I was glad that they haven't told Sam. I wasn't sure if I wanted to tell him right now. Emily pushed Kim and Rachel hard and got in my face and said "You fucking whore! How dare you get pregnant? Who did you fuck Leah? Did you fuck Jared or Paul or one of the other pack members? You need to have an abortion. You don't deserve kids you fucking bitch!" I laid there in shock as she hit me in the stomach again. I started coughing up blood while I grabbed my stomach.

I have never seen Kim or Rachel mad but they were pissed right now. They pulled Emily off of me while Bella held me and Rosalie wiped the blood off of my lips. Kim punched Emily in the nose and said "Listen here Emily! I do not know what your problem is and nor do I care but if you ever touch Leah again I will hurt you!" I saw Emily punch Kim and that is when I saw people entering the room fast. I looked up and saw Sam and my heart just about stopped. I wondered what he was doing here but what surprised me the most is that Sam was yelling at Emily. I heard Jared ask "What in the fuck is going on in here?!?!?! Who screamed?" Bella cleared her throat and said "I will tell you what is going on. We were talking to Leah and Emily came in and she punched Leah in the face and then in the stomach. The scream you heard was Leah when Emily punched her in the stomach! Then she hit Leah in the stomach again and even said that Leah needs to have an abortion. That was after she asked Leah who she fucked and she named Jared and Paul." I heard everyone growl but Sam's was the loudest.

He got right in Emily's face and said "That's it EMILY!!! I'm done with you!!! How dare you hit Leah? How dare you tell her that she needs an abortion? How dare you accuse her of sleeping around? You want to know who the father of her babies are Emily? Well let me tell you! I AM THE FATHER! If you ever touch the woman I love again so help me!!! Now get out of my sight!" I was stunned speechless with what Sam was saying. I thought that since Emily was his imprint that he wouldn't be able to talk to her that way but he did. What really surprised me is that he walked over to me and kissed my forehead and said "I love you Leah. I'm sorry for what I have done to you. I hope that one day you can forgive. If you need anything let me know. I'm here for you baby girl." I just hugged him and cried on his shoulder. I know that right now I can't believe what he is saying but I can hope.
