Billy woke up with a smile on his face as he heard Leah moving about the house. Lifting himself up, he pulled his legs over the bed and lifted himself into his chair. Wheeling himself to the door he opened it and pushed his chair down the hallway. Leah was in the living room with yellow rubber gloves on as she wiped the coffee table with a rag.
"Morning old man!" Leah smiled.
"Good morning Leah, you don't have to do that."
"Shush it, I want to."
Not arguing with her he pushed into the kitchen to look for something to eat. Opening the fridge he quickly slammed it shut only to take a deep breath and open it again.
Yep I'm not dreaming….
"Where is all my food!? Leeeaaahh!" Billy shouted and turned around to see Leah leaning against the wall with a smirk on her face.
"I gave it to the pack to eat as a snack…" She replied without a care in the world.
Billy wished he could growl like the wolves as he glared at her.
"You had no right to do that! You're going to march your butt down to the store and replaced everything today!" He sternly told her as if speaking to a child.
Leah's face didn't change one bit as he told her what to do.
"Oooh I'm going to the grocery store, but I'm putting only health food in there and I expect it to stay that way. I have decided since we are staying in La Push, I'm going to take make some changes to your lifestyle."
Wagging his finger up at her expressionless face he started shouting.
"Now you listen here young lady! I have been living my way since before you were born, so you will do as I say and replace everything! And I don't want to hear another thing about it!"
Leah growled as she stomped over to him. Snapping his mouth shut, Billy became nervous as she leaned down and gripped both arms of his chair and began speaking in a deadly tone.
"I heard what you said, but now you will listen to me, you old man. You are the closest thing to a father I have left and I watched as my father died in front of me because his heart was to weak and couldn't take the sight of his little girl ripping out of her body and turning into a fucking monster!"
Leah paused before continuing to shout.
"And do you know why his heart was so weak? Huh do ya? It's because of the crap he ate just like you! SO I'm taking over this household. YOU'RE going to start eating healthy. YOU'RE not going to like it, and honestly I really don't give a DAMN how you feel about it!"
Now leaning in so she was inches from his nose she whispered with the look of murder in her eyes.
"So if you give me anymore lip about it… I'll find the steepest slope I can and shove you down it! Cuz you're going to die either way! GOT IT?!"
Swallowing the lump in his throat Billy didn't move as his intimating daughter-in-law stood up and took off her gloves to throw them in the sink.
How is she so frightening even in yellow rubber gloves! Billy thought in shock.
Staring hard at him she stood there with her arms crossed while tapping her foot as she waited for his response.
"Well?" she spat out.
"Ok…" he whispered holding tight to his chair.
"Great! I'm glad you see it my way, now go wash up while I run to the store and when you get out I'll have breakfast ready for you." She said with all the cheer in the world.
Nodding quickly Billy moved his ass to get out of her line of fire and down the hall. He even waited to hear the truck that Sam had dropped off, start up and pull out of the driveway before he said very low under his breath.
"Stupid son… He just had to go marry a crazy Clearwater… Throwing away all my food! I'll show her…"
Walking outside with a smile she jumped into her truck and headed down the road towards the local grocery store.
Ha! Old man thought he could tell me what to do! I showed him!
Leah was beyond happy with how she handled Billy and his stubborn ways. Pulling up to the grocery story Leah was focused on getting in and getting out as quickly as possible. She made a beeline for the front door, making good time she grabbed the cart and went up and down the aisles filling up her cart.
"Mrs. Black! So nice to see you!" A random stranger said.
Leah smiled and replied. "You too, have a nice day."
Ok that was weird…
The next person to greet her was an old friend from high school Lana. "OH! Mrs. Black hello!"
"Uh hi Lana…"
Lana did a small nod of her head before pushing her cart past quickly.
Ok I know I'm now a Black, but what the fuck is going on! I never remember people treating Jake's mom this way…
Rushing the rest of the way she noticed more and more people as they greeted her or acknowledged her presences with a small jester like a tilt of their head or a small wave of the hand. As she pulled up to the checkout line she checked her cell phone to see if she received any messages from Jake. Lost in her phone, she unloaded the food onto the belt and pushed the cart in front of her to have them ring it up. Putting her phone away she looked up to see Shawnee Letty, an older lady that Leah has known since she was child. Everyone knew Shawnee was the sweetest, kindest women on the res and although she was kind, she still spoke her mind which Leah always loved about her. Smiling Leah leaned on the cashier to say hello.
"Hi Mrs. Letty how are you?"
Looking up, Shawnee smiled wide at the young women in front of her.
"Mrs. Black! What a joy to finally see you! We heard you were back but we haven't seen you, only that handsome husband of yours!" she said with a wink.
Leah blushed and pulled out her wallet.
"He is a looker huh?! So what's the damage?" Leah laughed.
"Oh no, absolutely not! Your money is no good here!"
Confused Leah pushed on.
"No really what do I owe you?"
"For the future chief's wife it's on the house…"
Leah tilted her head and put her best smile on as she put her wallet away.
"Thank you Mrs. Letty!"
"No, thank you and that husband of yours… it's a blessing that you both have finally returned what with all he has been doing for the community it makes up for the fact you've both been gone for so long…"
Smiling Leah grabbed her cart, but stopped as Mrs. Letty yelled at the young man that had lazily bagged her groceries.
"Peter! Help Mrs. Black to her car you lazy dog!"
"Please call me Leah, Mrs. Letty…"
"No, it's an honor to be called a Black, you wear that title with pride you hear me?"
Nodding her head knowing that it would be a losing argument to fight Shawnee on it, Leah handed over the cart to the pimply youth.
Looking up at Leah his eyes grew wide at the sight of the famous Leah Black. Puffing up his chest he made sure to flex his arms as he pushed her cart to the truck and quickly loaded the backseat, smiling wide as he shut the door. Returning the smile Leah thanked him and jumped in the truck.
Looking out the front window Leah looked at the hustle and bustle going on as new construction took place all around her. Men from the tribe were all working rebuilding and painting old buildings.
What have you been up to Jacob Ephraim Black! She thought with a smirk.
Regardless of her feelings with her husband for all his secrecy she couldn't stop her heart as it filled with pride at all that Jacob has been doing for the tribe. Driving back faster than she arrived, Leah pulled up to Billy's unloading the truck and going inside. Going to the kitchen she filled the fridge and set to work on making Billy breakfast. A smile slowly crept on to her face at the thoughts of Jacob and his big heart.
Stupid perfect man… I love to love that tard…
Packing up the last of their things Jake and Dee striped down and phased.
Jake? Sam asked.
Yep and Daniel...
Hi Sam!
Hello Daniel… How long till your home? Sam asked reading their plans in their pack mind.
We should be home by night fall if we run all the way! Dee answered cheerfully.
Which we aren't going to do so probably around late evening… Jake replied nipping at Daniels ankles.
Ok well I need to speak with you in private when your home…
I'll give you a call once we are settled…
Sam didn't reply as he phased out, but Jake and Dee could feel the hostility coming from him as he left them alone. They were only a few hours in when they stopped for lunch and a bathroom break.
"Here you go" Jake said handing Daniel some of the fish they cooked the night before, as they sat cross legged on the forest floor.
"Can I ask you something?" Dee whispered after swallowing.
"What's up?" Jake asked worried as Dee grew serious.
"Why… why do you hate me?"
"Whoa?! What are you talking about? I don't hate you why would you think that?"
Dee looked up with watery eyes. "But when you first met me you hit me in the face. When I don't like someone enough I hit them…"
Letting out a breath Jake looked Daniel straight in the eye as he spoke.
"I'm sorry about that Daniel, it was wrong of me and seriously the biggest regret I have, I hope you know that…"
"So you don't hate me?" Daniel asked with a small smile on his lips.
Ruffling his shaggy hair Jake shook his head.
"No I don't hate you, I like you very much! Why do you think I took you out here? I want us to be friends."
Nodding his head Dee replied. "I think I would like to be your friend."
"I'm glad to hea-" Jake stopped speaking when he jumped up and the sickly sweet smell of Vampire surrounded them.
Grabbing Dee he lifted him to stand next to him keeping him close to his side.
"We can smell you, come out." Jake said with a stern voice.
Dee held tight as Jacob began to growl.
"Well this is a first…" A feminine voice rang out above them.
Looking up into the trees Jacob saw the leech with her black hair and red eyes; she wore filthy clothes which added to her stench. The sun was peeking out of the trees which made her skin sparkle where ever it hit.
"You are near my land, you need to leave and never return." Jake growled never breaking eye contact.
Laughing at him she climbed down a branch before speaking again.
"And if I don't? What are you going to do about it?"
"I'll kill you and burn your body." Jake said with all certainty.
"I would love to see you try!" She hissed out before using her fast reflexes, she flew down the tree to try and scare the enormous man. Coming to a stop mere inches from his face, she had waited for him to flinch, to stumble back… anything that was a reaction out of him, instead he smirked and pushed the small child to the side before his body expanded and out tore the largest wolf she had ever seen.
Stumbling backwards the vampire felt fear for the first time in centuries.
Moon children? Impossible…
"You… you can't exist your all dead!" she screamed as she crouched down ready to fight for her life.
Dee stood by frozen as he watched Jake burst out of his skin and his wolf stalk towards the hissing vampire. Then it happened he watched as the vampire leaped into the air to attack Jacob, but Jake was faster and stronger clamping down his jaw he tore off her arm. Dee could see the fear in the vampire's eyes as she backed away and tried to circle around him, but Jake wasn't having it and kept his hunches pointed towards Dee protecting him. Sam had told him that he was a sprit warrior, made to protect La Push and had proven himself the first day he phased, but Dee didn't remember any of what Sam had explained. Only glimpses of sparkling skin and a foul stench that burned his nostrils...
Much like right now…
Looking up as movement caught his eye Dee saw a second female Vampire as it readied itself to jump on Jake's back. As it pushed off something took over Daniels body forcing it to phase and attack.
Daniel's thoughts popped into Jake's mind and he watched as Daniel pounced on the falling Vampire ripping it to pieces with ease. Jake could see that Daniel's wolf had completely taken over the body and mind like it did when he first phased and kill the other Leeches.
"NOOoooooo!" the vampire screamed in front of Jacob as she tried to get to her fallen friend.
Jacob didn't waste a minute as he took his shot at her distracted face, tearing into her. She lay dead at his feet in pieces.
Check the surrounding area for more, howl if you find anything. Jake said to Daniel's wolf.
Without acknowledging him the wolf set out to do what was asked. Jake phased and began to build a fire burning the bodies as quickly as he could before Daniel returned.
Vampire or not, no child should see a burning body… he thought just as the last piece was turning to ash.
"Jake?" Dee's small voice rang out.
"Over here!" He answered looking around to make sure he hadn't missed anything.
Coming out of the forest Daniel looked exhausted as he tried to get the branches out of his hair.
"Are you ok?" Jake asked.
With a yawn he replied. "I'm really sleepy all of a sudden…"
I remember when my wolf took over completely I wanted to sleep for a week…
He won't be able to walk the rest of the way…
Shit…
Jake packed everything up again and gave Dee his backpack with new clothes to put on.
"I'm going to phase you can ride on top."
"Ok" Dee said with a tired smile.
Phasing, Jake lay on his stomach and waited for the child to climb up. Once settled on top he took their bag into his mouth and moved towards home, keeping his eyes and nose open to anymore intruders.
Pulling the laundry out of the dryer Emily walked into the living room just as Sam was coming home from patrolling all night.
"Are you hungry?" Emily asked as she placed the basket on the couch.
"Yes…"
Walking into the kitchen together Emily put together a few sandwiches for him while he sat down at the kitchen table.
"I spoke with Rachel last night she said that there were cold ones in La Push."
"Yeah, Lee Lee smelled one on her run yesterday."
Biting her tongue at his nickname for her cousin Emily placed the plate in front of him.
"So you watched over her all night at Billy's?"
"Wh-at?" Sam choked on the food in his mouth.
"Well you weren't here so I went outside and Embry came by and said the last time he saw you it was at Billy's I'm assuming that Leah was there after the phone call you had."
Emily had put two and two together to figure out that her husband had spent the night watching over his ex-girlfriend instead of his wife. A million thoughts ran through her mind and she kept replying the conversation he had with her cousin on the phone until she couldn't take it anymore and went to bed.
"I was over there yes, that's the chief of the tribe it's important to keep him safe the trail was less than a mile from his house…" Sam argued becoming frustrated.
Not liking his tone she sharply snapped at him. "He was fine if Leah was there! She could protect the both of them…"
"They needed to both be protected! I don't have to explain myself to you!" Sam growled.
Catching the look in his eyes she knew him well enough to know, that he wasn't telling her something.
"What's going on? Why would Leah need your protection? TELL ME!"
Sam tried to fight the hold the imprint had on him that made him want to tell her everything but he was tired and weak so it came out as a whisper.
"She isn't phasing anymore…"
"What? Why?" Emily asked honestly confused.
"It's none of your business so stay out of it Emily."
"It becomes by business when my husband abandons me to go watch over another women instead of his wife!" she screamed standing up from the table.
"Leave it alone!" Sam said while reminding himself why he shouldn't say anything.
You promised Lee Lee…
Don't say anything!
She just started trusting you again!
"No you tell me everything you know right now! It's want I WANT!"Emily stated and watched as Sam gave it his all not to tell her, but like everything else involving the imprint he couldn't not give her what she asked for.
"They are trying to have baby…"
Emily sat down as her stomach wanted to upchuck everything she ate that day.
"I don't understand what does that have to do with not phasing? I mean is she pregnant now?"
The thought of Leah with child killed Emily. She had wanted a child but Sam always had a good excuse to hold off and if he felt she would bring up the topic he would conveniently disappear for days on end in the name of patrolling.
"No… no she's not."
Emily let out a breath of air and looked into her husband's eyes as she could see there was more.
"Tell me Sam." She said folding her arms.
"Leah apologized to me about her behavior when this all started. She said she forgave us the moment she found out the truth about imprinting, but it still hurt and… and…" He didn't want to finish but he knew he was going to cave.
How sweet she forgave us! Emily thought sarcastically with a roll of her eyes.
"And what?" she spat out.
"She couldn't have children… that's why she was so upset all the time her choice was taken from her and she took it out on us… Emily I promised I wouldn't say anything and I need you to do the same." Sam begged his wife
Emily couldn't stop the smile that took over her face at the news that her perfect little cousin did have something wrong with her.
"Oh I won't…" Emily laughed out as she was filled with joy at the news.
Standing up Emily walked back into the living room to finish the laundry. Sam lost his appetite as he could feel the happy feelings coming from Emily at the sad new about her cousin.
It's like I don't know her anymore…. He thought to himself as he threw away the remaining food and went up stairs to shower and sleep.
They were another hour away from home when Embry popped into Jake's mind as he tried to smoothly walk without letting the sleeping child on his back fall off.
Yo Jake where the hell have you been?! You didn't hear us howling for you last night?
Sorry Em I was out of ear shot I should be home soon what's up?
Well everything is fine, but Leah picked up a scent yesterday while jogging…
IS SHE OK!
Jake started to panic, but Embry calmed him down with his next words
Yeah she's fine can't say the same for your dad though she took over his kitchen and started throwing his food away… he tried calling all of us to sneak him a beer, but Leah beat him to the punch and called everyone threatening disembowelment if we give him anything that wasn't approved by her first. I got to hand it to you Jake she is one scary woman when she wants to be how do you handle it?
Smiling in his head at the thought of Leah helping his dad made him wish he was already home. He started missing her badly. At that point once she flooded his mind he couldn't stop the image of her riding him until Embry started shouting.
DUDE! Come on! That's fucking hot as hell but if she knows I know what that looks like my dick is as good as gone!
Laughing Jake carried on until Embry's next words.
Yeah she cleaned him out and gave us all the food it was pretty awesome to have a beer and then get back to patrolling… Sam said she was going to just toss it!
Sam was with her? Jake asked with a growl.
Yeah he tried blocking his thoughts, but you know him he gets side tracked than you see everything, he was watching the house all night to make sure both of them were safe.
Jake couldn't stop his wolf from slamming down his paws and puffing out it chest at the thought of another wolf watching over what's his.
Whoa dude! Calm down he didn't touch her! Embry said trying to relax Jake.
Jake's wolf threw back his head and let out a monster of a howl at the frustration it felt at not being home. He didn't realize he had knocked Dee off until the little boy started crying on the floor below him. Phasing out without saying goodbye Jake picked Daniel up.
"Ahhh shit I'm sorry! Are you ok?" Jake asked checking his head for any damages.
"Why did you do that?!" Dee growled and cried.
"I didn't mean to! I was talking to Embry and he made me mad… I forgot you were on my back."
"I don't want to ride on you anymore." He whispered as he was still sleepy.
"Ok you don't have to I can walk it from here." Setting the boy down Jake put some clothes on.
Dee adjusted his transformer backpack while Jake put the bags loops around his shoulders to hold like a backpack. Picking the sleepy child up to hold in his arms Jake started walking the rest of the way home.
Dee curled his head into Jakes shoulder and inhaled his strong pine scent. A comfort engulfed him as he felt safe in the large mans arms. He fell back asleep in seconds with dreams of his Leah and now Jake…
Couple hours later:
Leah was outside watering the flowers around the house when she heard someone coming up the path from the Uley house. Turning around she watched as Sam appeared and came up to her.
"Hey." She said going back to focus on the flowers.
"Hey, I just came by to see how you are doing."
Sam looked at Leah as she stood in an orange summer dress spraying water over the freshly planted flowers. Her hair was down and the light breeze blew making it flutter around her face.
"I'm doing fine thank you. How about you did you get enough sleep?"
"Yeah I hit the pillow and that's all I can remember… it's been a while since we pulled an all nighter." He chuckled as he picked up a watering can to help her.
Leah went to say something and stopped as she heard rustling coming from the woods. Sam took a protective stance in front of her and relaxed as Jake popped out of the trees with a sleeping Daniel in his arms. Dropping the hose Leah quickly ran up to him to grab the sleeping child.
"Is he ok? Why are you home early?" Leah asked with concern.
"He wanted to surprise you. He's fine just tired from the long trip so I carried him the rest of the way." Jake smiled kissing his wife. He didn't want to worry her so he left out the part about the leeches they ran into.
With wide eyes she asked "And he let you?"
"Yep guess the old man was right about fishing… it can solve all life's little problems."
Leah smiled as Daniel started to wake up from being in her arms. She hadn't noticed that Sam had come up until he spoke.
"Happy to see it worked out."
Jake covered his growl at the other Alpha as he stood closer to his wife.
"Uh yeah me too… Why don't you go inside Lee, he needs a bath and I have a few thing I want to talk to Sam about." Jake said motioning with his eyes that he didn't want to speak in front of Dee.
With worry in her voice Leah said, "Oh ok… you have good timing dinner will be ready soon don't take too long…"
Dee had woken up completely at the sound of Leah's voice in his ear. Popping his head up he smiled wide before tiredly saying. "Surprise!"
"Hi Sweetie, did you have fun?!"
Leah had turned and walked back towards the house as Dee started telling her all about the trip. Jake waited until he saw the door shut before turning to Sam and growling.
"Mind telling me why the fuck you didn't send someone to get me!"
"I had it under control… there was no reason to inform you."
"Really? We were attacked by two leeches two hours away from here! I think I would have liked a heads up that shit was happening! If they did get the jump on us, me and Daniel could be dead right now!"
"The scent went south! I didn't think we needed to concern you!" Sam growled back.
Jake fought the urge to punch the pompous prick in the face.
"When it concerns my family you come get me! That's how it works; if something like this ever happens again I will fucking kill you." Jake roared out.
Sam took a step back as Jake looked down his nose at him before regaining his stance and growling back.
"While you were living in your fucking fairy tale I have been here every day watching over our people! So when I say I had it under control, I MEAN I FUCKING HAVE IT UNDER CONTROL! Maybe you shouldn't be so arrogant to think you can just up and leave when you want! You're lucky I was here!"
Jake wanted to rip into Sam at that moment, but he took control of his anger and pushed it back in before side stepping the other Alpha and making his way towards the house. Sam had to get one more dig in before he left so he said loud enough for only Jake to hear.
"She told me everything and I get that you didn't want to mess up the progress you two have made, but it was pretty stupid of you to command her not to phase… if something was out there while she was running she would have been defenseless against it…"
With that Sam turned and walked down the path to his house. Jake stood there shaking in anger and hurt.
She spoke to SAM FUCKING ULEY about our problems…
What else has she been saying to him…?
Do they talk often?
Jake started moving ready to have a "little" talk with his wife when he opened the door to their house and heard movement coming from upstairs. Storming up them he came to Dee's bedroom ready to pull Leah out to talk privately. When he opened the door he stopped and all thoughts of anger and hurt floated away as Leah sat cross legged in the corner of the room with a freshly washed Daniel in her lap reading a book together. Smiling up at him she motioned for him to come in.
Shaking his head he replied. "I'm going to shower first."
At the sound of Jacob's deep voice Daniel's head shot up and he smiled the brightest smile before climbing out of Leah's lap to jump up into his arms.
"Hey little man!" Jake said propping him in his arms.
"Thank you for my room! Leah said you did it!"
"Yep, do you like it?"
"It's the coolest room ever! Can Joey come over so I can show him?!"
"Sure I'll talk to Paul maybe they can both come by…"
Nodding his head up and down, Dee placed a kiss on Jake's cheek and squeezed him as tight as he could in a hug before wiggling down to return to a happy Leah.
Maybe she just needed to vent…
Don't fight with her; I'm already on thin ice as it is…
I just hate that she spoke to Sam! Out of everyone here she talks to that dip shit…
Closing the door Jake headed into their bedroom and straight to their bathroom to shower. Jumping in he washed quickly and got out to find some basketball shorts and a white cotton tee-shirt. Heading out he could hear still hear them playing in his room so he went downstairs to find some food. Coming into the kitchen he saw that Leah had a plate set out on the island for him. As he was eating he knew what had to be done.
I need my pack…
They would have gotten me…
"He really must be tired he took two bites of food and wanted a bedtime story. The kid is knocked out!" Leah laughed coming into the kitchen.
Jake waited until she on the stool next to him before she spoke.
"Lee something happened while we were out there, but I don't think he remembers any of it."
"What happened?" she growled out that he waited till now to say something.
"Two leeches…"
"WHAT! Was he ok!"
"Yeah yeah babe he was fine, his spirit wolf took complete control of his body. When he came out of it he didn't remember a thing."
"Never again Jake! You're not taking him that far ever again!"Leah was pissed.
"Don't worry I won't… Sam told me what happened out here last night." He growled back.
Relaxing a little Leah realized Jake was just as pissed as she was.
"Nothing happened I went for a run and picked up a scent, I ran straight to Billy's house and called Sam… we were ok."
"Why didn't you call me?" He said speaking low.
"You were a day away what could you do. Sam had it under control we were fine."
Growling at her he turned to snarl in her face. "You call me Leah! I'm your husband not fucking Uley!"
Unfazed by his aggression Leah snapped at him. "Don't you dare snarl at me Jacob Black! How could I call you? Your phone didn't have any service and I can't phase, so dipshit tell me again how I would have gotten in contact with you!"
Jake sat back as he realized what he had done and was man enough to admit it when he fucked up.
"You're right babe…"
"I'm sorry… I'm tired Jake I haven't had a single peaceful nights rest in what feels like ages."
Wrapping his arm around her shoulder he brought her closer.
"Still having those nightmares?"
"Yeah, but they are getting worse… I don't really feel like talking about it right now."
"Ok…" Jake kissed her forehead before working his way down to her neck.
Leah moaned as he licked the just below her ear. Pulling her to sit on his lap Jake kissed his wife with everything he had building up for the past week they had been separated. Still kissing Jake lifted her up bridal style and made for the couch. Feeling for it with his toe he gently placed her on it and covered her body with his own. Laughing Leah spread her legs as he covered her body then lips again. Pushing her hips up to grind against him he pumped his hips building up the tension between them.
Jake moved from her lips to her neck as Leah stretched her neck for him to devour,she opened her eyes and froze as a little brown eyes stare down at her from behind the couch.
"What are you doing?" Dee asked.
"JESUS!" Jake shouted, before flipping on to the floor.
Sitting up quickly Leah tried to fix her hair as she spoke to the child. "Dee sweetie what are you doing awake?"
"I came to get some water… what are you guys doing?" He asked again tilting his head.
Jake lay shaking with laughter on the floor with his face in the carpet. Leah kicked him with her foot as she stood up and walked into the kitchen. Grabbing a plastic cup she filled it with water and handed it to Daniel.
"Thank you."
"You're welcome now off to bed!" Leah cooed as she pushed his back in the direction of the stairs.
Jake started to sit up as Dee passed by.
"Will you tuck me in?" Dee asked Jake surprising him and Leah
"Sure."
Jumping up Dee took his hand and led him upstairs to his new bedroom. Putting the water down he climbed into bed and waited for Jake to do the rest. Smiling Jake grabbed the thin sheet and covered Dee to his chest.
"Will you tell me a story?" Dee asked looking up with round little puppy eyes.
Jake wanted to return to his wait wife, but he didn't have the heart to deny the kid. So getting down on his knees he leaned his elbows on the bed before speaking.
"What kind of story do you want?"
"Will you tell me about the spirit warriors?
"That's a long story are you sure?"
Jake was praying to every god he knew of that Daniel decides against it.
"Yes please! I had a dream about it on the way back here."
"Fine…"
Jake dove into the old story of La Push and its spirit warriors. He tried to cut it down a bit but Dee would ask questions and they would talk. Eventually Jake looked at the clock to see that it had been over an hour that he had stayed in the room talking to Dee.
"It's time for bed we will finish the story tomorrow ok?"
"Ok." Dee answered with a yawn.
It really did a number on him…. Jake thought with the fact that the kid was still tired.
Ruffling his hair Jake stood up and was about to walk out when Daniel stopped him.
"Goodnight Jacob."
"Goodnight Daniel."
"Hey Jake?"
Turning around Jake had his hand over the light switch as he watched Dee cover his face with his blanket.
"If you want to call me Dee you can…"
Smiling wide Jake asked "Are you sure?"
The bulge that was Daniel's wrapped head bobbed up and down.
"Yeah I'm sure now…"
"Alright goodnight Dee…"
"Goodnight Jake…"
Turning off the light switch Jake could see that Leah had locked up and was already in their bed with her head resting on the pillow. Taking off his clothes Jake slid in behind her to pull her tight against his body; it wasn't until he noticed her calm breathing that he realized she was sleeping. Resting his head on her shoulder he wanted to growl out with his sexual frustration but didn't want to wake her. She hadn't been sleeping well and maybe now that they are together it will help some.
Pretty stupid of you to command her not to phase…
She would have been defenseless against it…
Sam's voice replayed in his head over and over again. Bringing him lips close to her ear Jake whispered.
"You can phase as long as it's to protect yourself or others…"
Leah's body shivered as the command poured into her body. Jake kissed her goodnight and lay down holding her for the rest of the night.
I stood on the beach when I heard the whispers on the wind.
I knew it was saying something important I just could understand it; suddenly my wolf stood up, shook out her fur and stretched her limbs…
