Chapter 10

Leah P.O.V.

I got home from patrol and went to bed right away to get as much sleep as I could before this morning. I wake up and hop in the shower to clean and shave. I try to keep everything completely smooth. 'I wonder what my Bella does.' I shake the thought from my head. Too soon for that. I sigh happily at the memory of her lying in my arms all night. 'I'm glad Embry doesn't know how soft I've gotten or I would have caught hell last night.' I giggle at the thoughts he had of what I would do to him if he said anything.

I get to the school just before the bell rings and wait by my Bella's truck. I can't help but wonder what she's going to do…will she let people know or will she try to keep it a secret. I shrug, guess I'll see in a minute. I see her walk out of the building where she has her last class and her eyes meet mine and they light up. She practically runs down the steps and into my arms. Almost everyone is gawking at us. She completely ignores them and kisses my cheek before she slides into her truck. I don't think a single person moved until we were out of sight. I couldn't help but laugh.

She looks at me confused. "What's so funny?"

"Bella, didn't you notice your entire school frozen in place watching us." She shrugs and grins sheepishly.

"umm…no?" I giggle and grab hold of her hand.

"So ready to meet my parents?" she freezes…I'm glad I'm driving or we probably would have wrecked by now. Her face was priceless…the shock was too much. I bust up laughing until she shoots a pretty wicked glare at me.

"So not funny." She murmurs but moves closer to me anyway. I let go of her hand and wrap my arm around her. She sighs happily and snuggles in close.

She tentatively plays with my fingers then turns to look at me. "Are you sure they'll like me?"

I nod smiling. "They'll love you Bella. All they want is for me to be happy and you make me that way." She beams at me and continues playing with my fingers.

"I guess we better tell Charlie today too. After our scene at school I'm sure it will be around town by lunch tomorrow." She sighs as I nod and shrug.

"He loves you Bella, it'll be ok…besides if it isn't you can always come live with me." I smirk. "Though you'll have to learn to deal with Seth…" 'oh crap…he doesn't know about any of this, wolves, imprinting, me being with a girl.' She notices my slightly panicked look.

"Leah what's wrong?"

"Seth, he doesn't know about any of this. Wolves, imprinting, me and you…"

"Oh." That's all she says.

"Don't worry Bells Seth is a good kid. I'm sure he won't make too big a deal out of it…besides he's been growing quick. He might phase soon too."

She sighs and nods before snuggling back into my side as we sit quietly for the rest of the trip. We pull up to the house and pull my Bella out the driver's side with me. I keep an arm around her and lead her into the house. I open the door and can hear both mom and dad in the kitchen. I call out to them.

"Mom, Dad, come meet Bella."

Bella P.O.V.

'Ok, I am freaking out…I'm seconds away from meeting my Leah's parents…' I am so nervous I practically start shaking. My Leah pulls me close and I inhale her scent which helps calm me. She keeps her arm around my waist holding me close as her mom and dad walk in. Sue is smiling and Harry looks…well like he always does. Her mom comes forward "It's nice to finally meet you Bella!"

I smile "You too Mrs. Clearwater."

"Dear, call me Sue, please." I nod and turn to Harry.

"You take care of my daughter ya hear?" his voice is kind but stern.

I nod "Of course." He turns to walk towards the couch. I let my Leah pull my body a bit closer and sigh happily.

Sue looks at me kindly. "Welcome to the family." I smile as she turns and walks back to the kitchen…only then do I register her words. 'Welcome…to the family. Like I'm going to be family.' I look up at my Leah and grin it finally hit me for real… 'she's mine…for the rest of our lives. This magnificent woman is all mine.'

My Leah just rolls her eyes at her parents and leads me up the stairs. Seth isn't home yet so we just go straight into her room. I look around…it is totally her. I take in a deep breath and the entire room is saturated with the scent that is my Leah. She giggles at my antics and pulls me over to the bed. I place my body in my new favorite spot and listen to the vibrations of her chest.

"Lee…" she snaps her head down to look at me.

"What did you call me?"

I smile sheepishly. "Lee…is that okay I don't have to I mean I…"

She stops me from rambling. "No baby it's fine" she smiles and I just smirk. 'Ha she called me baby…that means I'm really hers too.'

We lay like that for a while until we hear Seth banging his way up the stairs. That's when we realize we forgot to close the door. I consider moving but just can't make myself do it so when Seth goes to open the door to his room he looks to the side and sees us. His sister and I cuddled up on her bed. The shock on his face was hilarious. The poor kid started stuttering and trying to force out some words. I could feel my Leah shaking with laughter under me and I couldn't hold it back anymore. We both burst out laughing.

Leah P.O.V.

That was so not the way I meant for Seth to find out but… 'Oh my god! The look on his face was completely priceless.' I can't help but laugh silently…and then my Bella cracks up and I lose it. He stumbles into his room and shuts the door as I hear mom climbing the stairs. She peaks in and smiles seeing us cuddled up laughing our heads off. "Leah, what just happened?"

After a few moments I'm finally able to calm down my laughing enough. "Well we kinda forgot to close the door…and we were just relaxing like this when Seth came up. He glanced over here before he went in and saw us." I chuckled a few times. "He just kinda started stuttering. Ah it was great."

Mom sighs and shakes her head then knocked on Seth's door. They spoke through the door for a few seconds then he opened it and let her in. I turn to my Bella who had finally stopped giggling. "Maybe we should get outta here?" she nods and got up off the bed. We made our way to the door and I offered a hand which she gladly took. The entire way downstairs, out to her truck, and the drive back to Forks we just enjoyed one another's company.

When we pull into her driveway the cruiser was there. Chief Swan was home. I look at my Bella and raised an eyebrow in question. She sighs and nods. We make our way inside and Chief Swan is on the couch, beer in his hand, watching a game. 'I swear there is always a game on.' I shake my head and turn to my Bella.

She takes a deep breath. "Dad, can we talk?"

Bella P.O.V.

Charlie turned to me and nodded. His eyes narrowed a bit and I didn't know what to think. I took a deep breath and sat down on the couch my Leah next to me. "Dad, Leah and I are together."

His face turned red and I thought he was about to blow… "No."

I sigh…I was afraid of this. "It's true Dad, Leah and I are dating."

The vein in his forehead popped out even more. "I will not have this perversion going on in my house." He screams at me.

"Dad, just calm down."

He shakes his head. "Either you send her away and never see her again or you get the hell out of my house…I will not have you running around with some butch dyke!"

'Oh hell no!' "You can say whatever you want about me but you WILL NOT talk about her like that." I run up the stairs my Leah right behind me and throw some clothes and all my school stuff into my bag. She helps me grab everything and we walk out of the house. I stop at the door and with as much disgust and hate I can muster I look at my 'former father' "I hate you." And I slam the door on my way out. We get in the truck and take off…when we get a few miles down the road my Leah pulls over and pulls me into her and hugs me tight as the tears start to fall.

She whispers in my ear telling me that it'll be alright and not to worry. About an hour later I finally stop sobbing into her shirt. She looks at me sadly. "I have patrol…I can take you to my house and maybe someone will cover for me?" I shake my head. "No baby its ok…if I stay down there I'd never be able to make it to school on time. You go ahead and go…I'm going to go to the Cullens. I'll be ok." She nods sadly with unshed tears in her eyes. "See you soon baby." She kisses my cheek and hops out of the truck heading for the forest to phase.

I wipe my eyes and start towards the Cullen house. When I get there Alice was waiting for me on the front porch. I know she didn't see what happened because Leah was there but she must have seen me crying my eyes out on my way here.

I get out of the truck and walk up to her she gives me a hug despite the smell I had on me and calls for Esme. The motherly vampire appears in the space next to me. "Bella dear what's wrong?" I stifle a sob and manage to squeak out.

"Charlie kicked me out…" the entire house went silent and Esme ushers me inside as Alice closes the door to what would probably be my new home.
