Author's Note: I have been trying to get this story updated but my youngest has been sick so I haven't had a lot of time. This chapter was really fun to write because it has Jared in it. As for the last chapter when Paul and Jake phased they didn't phase to follow Harry. They phased because they could smell Sam's scent. I'm not showing that in this chapter because I really don't think it is that important. Now that I have bored you all with this Author's Note lets get on to the story.

Harry was nervous as he waited on Leah to come downstairs of the Cullen house. He knew that she was up because he heard her moving around. He sighed as he looked at his wife who was smiling at him. "Do you think she is going to want to kill me?"

Sue chuckled and shook her head. "I don't think she is going to want to kill you honey. Like I told you last night I think you bringing Jared here is a good thing. Leah has been debating with herself on telling him or not and the only reason I know that is because of Edward and his mind reading skills. She needs to tell Jared. I know that she misses his friendship even though she tries not to."

Harry sighed again and nodded. When he heard footsteps coming down the stairs he turned toward them and smiled when he saw Edward carrying Leah down. He smiled at her and the smile grew bigger when he saw her smile back at him. He walked over to where Edward placed her on the couch and sat down beside her. "Pumpkin I need to tell you something."

Leah laughed and shook her head. "Dad you forget about my hearing. Plus if I wouldn't have heard you Edward would have and he told me. I may not be ready to see Jared but that is my own problem. I know that he has the right to know that he made me pregnant and I have been wanting to tell him I just couldn't find the words. Do you know why I avoided Jared even before I found out I was pregnant?"

Harry shook his head. "No I don't know why baby girl. Why did you quit talking to him? And don't tell me it was because he was hanging with Sam because I know that is a load of bull."

Leah sighed and then looked down at the floor. "I quit talking to Jared because I felt ashamed of myself. I have always liked Jared as a friend and up until the night I slept with him I always thought we would be friends. I was ashamed of myself because I had a one night stand with him. I have never seen myself as the type of girl who could sleep with a guy once and then walk away. I was ashamed that I used Jared like that."

Sue gasped at Leah's words and walked over and knelt in front of her daughter. "Leah I want you to listen to me. You have nothing to be ashamed about. I don't think that you used Jared at all. I know Jared and I know that if he felt used he would have told you. What I honestly think is that you both needed something and you gave that something to one another. Yes you may have only spent one night with him but that doesn't make you in the wrong honey. You and Jared were friends and you both needed something so you took what you needed from each other instead of going out and finding a stranger. I know that your dad told Jared he would be there at eight to get him but if you don't want to see him we won't make you see him."

Leah smiled slightly at her mom and shook her head. "No mom I need to see him. I need for him to know that the reason I quit talking to him was because of me and not him."

Sue smiled and leaned in and gave Leah a hug and then pulled back. "Why don't you let Rosalie help you shower? Brady, Collin, Embry and Quil are patrolling outside and they will be in here when Jared comes over. They all want to make sure that you're okay. Honey you have a bunch of guys willing to do anything and everything that may need to be done because they love you and they want to help you."

Leah chuckled and swiped at the tears that were falling down her face. "Damn hormones. Okay mom I'll let Rose help me shower while dad goes and gets Jared."

Sue grinned and looked at her husband. "I'm going to cook Leah and the boys breakfast. Why don't you go ahead and leave to go get Jared because my guess is the boy didn't sleep at all last night. If he ask about Leah just tell him to wait. I know that you wouldn't intentionally let it slip that Leah is pregnant but I also know how you can get if you get agitated."

Harry chuckled and nodded and then kissed Leah on the head before standing up. "I'll be back with Jared in about twenty minutes to half an hour. Leah I don't want you to stress because you know as well as I do that Jared will not say anything mean or harsh to you."

Leah smiled and nodded and looked at Rosalie who just walked into the living room before looking back at her dad. "I know daddy. I'll be ready by the time you get back."

Harry nodded and then kissed Sue and walked out of the house. He was surprised that Leah took it so easily about Jared coming over then again he shouldn't have been. He knew that being pregnant has changed her. As he climbed into the car he wasn't surprised to see Jasper sitting in the passenger seat. "Riding along Jasper?"

Jasper nodded. "I figured I could help keep Jared calm on the way over so that he wouldn't hopefully ask too many questions. I love Leah like a sister and I don't want her stressed out. I agree she needs to tell Jared but if he even for one second stresses her out I will hurt him."

Harry laughed and said "I don't think you have to worry about that Jasper but I'm glad you're coming along. I'm also glad that you love Leah like a sister especially since Seth hasn't been the best brother he could be."

Jasper nodded and looked out the window as Harry drove. "I know what you mean Harry. Sometimes I can feel sadness coming off of Leah and I know it is because she is thinking about Seth."

Harry sighed and nodded but didn't say anything. He chuckled though as they pulled up to the treaty line because Jared was standing there bouncing on his heels. He frowned though when he saw Paul and Jake standing close by. He looked at Jasper and nodded his head out the window and he saw when Jasper saw Jake and Paul also because he growled low in his throat. He put his hand on Jasper's shoulder and shook his head before motioning to the car door and then smiled as Jasper opened up his car door. He took in a deep breath and let it out and opened up his own car door and stepped out of it at the same time as Jasper. He led the way over to where Jared was standing. "I told you that you could come Jared. I'm sorry but Paul and Jake can't come. Leah has only agreed to see you."

Jared nodded but it was Jake who said "We aren't standing here so that we can come Harry. We are only standing here because Sam has been following Jared around. We wanted to make sure that he didn't try to follow Jared once he got in the car with you."

Harry sighed and then gave Jake and Paul both a smile. "Well thank you both then. I'm sorry for jumping to conclusions then. I appreciate what you both are doing."

Paul looked at Harry and then at Jasper and then back to Harry. "No need to thank us. Jared is our pack brother and Sam has been an ass lately. Tell Leah I said hello please and to call us and let us know that she is alive some time."

Harry chuckled and nodded. "I'll do that Paul but I can't guarentee that she'll call you."

Paul sighed and nodded. "Make sure you guys are on the lookout though. We found an unfamiliar vampire smell as we were coming to the treaty line."

Harry frowned and looked at Jasper with fear in his eyes. "Are you riding back or running?"

Jasper looked at Harry and then Jared. "I'll run back to let Carlisle and them know. Jared you make sure no matter what that Harry is protected. The vampire you guys are more than likely smelling has a unique gift and he can project his scent where he wants it and cover it up when he wants to."

Paul, Jake and Jared all frowned and Jake said "How do you know so much about the leech we are tracking?"

Jasper sighed and looked at Harry who gave a slight nod along with a resigned sigh and then he turned back towards the three wolves. "I know about this leech because he is targeting Leah."

Jake, Paul and Jared all gasped and then growled and Jake said "If he is targetting Leah then we should be able to cross the treaty line to protect her."

Jasper shook his head. "The only ones who have permission to cross are Quil, Embry, Collin, Brady and now Jared. I know you guys want to protect Leah but with Quil, Embry, Collin and Brady watching her she is fine. If we need more help one of us will call you and let you know. For now just continue doing what you are and patrolling your land."

Paul growled but Harry spoke up and said "I know you guys don't like this but this was Leah's requests. She doesn't want to see anyone right now and she can't afford to be stressed so please just follow her wishes."

Jake growled low in his throat but nodded. "Fine."

Harry smiled slightly and then said "Jared get in the car so we can get to the Cullen's. Jasper we'll meet you there."

Jasper nodded and then took off running. He could smell the leech that the wolves were talking about and he swore because it was the same scent as the one who had been following Leah in Seattle. As he ran through the forest he kept searching to see if he could see the red eyed blood sucker but he didn't and soon he was coming up to his house. He saw one of the wolves and he nodded at them and then ran to the front of the house and then in. "Are you all okay?"

Carlisle looked up from where he was checking Leah over and frowned. "Of course we're okay son. Why wouldn't we be?"

Jasper shook his head and said "I think we need to step outside and talk."

Leah looked at Jasper and said "If it has to do with me you'll talk right here Jasper."

Jasper sighed but when he felt Leah's determination he nodded. "The wolves picked up a vampire scent. I ran back and I was able to tell it was from the red eyed leech that is targetting Leah."

Leah gasped and started shaking and even though she tried to calm down she couldn't. She knew that she was going to phase and she also knew that her mom was sitting next to her. She pushed herself up off of the couch and then ran out of the house with Edward and Rosalie hot on her heels. As soon as she hit the porch her bones started snapping and she jumped off of the porch just as she phased.

~/~/~/~/~/~

Harry was just pulling up in front of the Cullen's house when him and Jared both saw Leah jump off of the porch just as she phased. "Hell."

Jared's eyes were wide and his mouth dropped open as he saw Leah phase into a beautiful grey wolf. He turned his head towards Harry. "Did she just phase?"

Harry took his eyes off of his daughter and looked at Jared and sighed. "I hope you aren't going to mind leaving Sam's pack Jared because there is no way in hell you can go back now that you know Leah can phase."

Jared was shocked at what Harry just said and then he started putting the pieces together. "It was Leah who phased yesterday wasn't it? Why couldn't we hear her?"

Harry sighed and rubbed a hand down his face. "We're not completely sure why you couldn't hear her. Brady, Collin, Quil and Embry could all tell it was Leah who phased when she phased which is why they are in her pack. They chose to allign themselves with Leah and help her out. Now that you know she can phase you have no choice and for that I'm sorry son but my daughter's wellfare comes first and I don't want her stressing that the rest of the pack in La Push knows that she can phase."

Jared swallowed hard and then nodded. "I don't have a problem with that. I'd rather be able to protect Leah anyways. Is the reason her scent is so different is because she has phased?"

Harry swallowed and shook his head. "That isn't why her scent is different to you but that is for her to tell you. For now I think we need to get out and try to help Edward and Rosalie calm Leah down because phasing right now isn't good for her."

Jared frowned but nodded and opened up the car door. He stepped out and walked over to where Leah was standing as still as a statue in the middle of the yard surrounded by Edward and Rosalie and also surrounded by Quil, Embry, Collin and Brady in their wolf forms. His eyes connected with Leah's and he could see the pain in her eyes and it about tore him apart. He looked around and shrugged and then stripped down out of his clothes and phased as he thought about how he wanted to be with Leah's pack and not with Sam's. As soon as he was phased his mind connected to Embry, Quil, Collin, Brady and Leah and he howled. He couldn't believe that it was just that simple. He looked at Leah and walked over to her and nudged her with his head. 'Are you okay?'

Leah sighed and shook her wolf head. 'I have a red eyed bloodsucker after me. Wait. How in the hell are you in my pack?'

Jared gave a bark of laughter as he thought 'I only thought about how I wanted to protect you and when I phased my mind connected to yours. How are you doing with being a wolf?'

Leah howled. 'It takes some getting use to but I need to phase back. Phasing isn't good for the babies.'

Jared couldn't get what Leah had just thought to him out of his head even as he watched her phase back. As soon as she was phased back he thought about what she said and then it registered to him. Leah was pregnant. He howled and then phased back and even though he was standing there naked he looked at Leah and her extended belly. "You're pregnant?"

Leah smiled slightly at Jared's shock. "Congratulations Daddy."
