Leah's point of view

"I can't believe we are doing this", I said for the hundredth time.

"Come on Leah, what is the worst thing that can happen?"

"Are you kidding me? There are a million things that can go wrong," I said not believing how calm my imprint was.

It's been two weeks since we met and everything has been perfect ever since. Well, except for the fact that Sam hates me, Emily doesn't want me in her life, Liam's ex-fiancée is somewhere around the world preparing her revenge… Ok, maybe not everything is perfect, but nothing really matters when you have the love of your life standing beside you. Now is official, imprint really messed up my mind.

A few days ago my imprint had the terrible idea of meeting mum and Charlie, and after convincing me that this was really necessary and threating me to leave me without kisses till we visit them, we finally end up walking to their house.

"Like what?"

"Like what?" I asked putting my hands on my head. "What if my mum cooked something you don't like? Or if Charlie starts telling his stupid jokes and then decides is time for a grown up talk? What if you get mad at something and you end up breaking the house? Or if I get mad and I destroy the whole house? Or if…"

"Leah stop it! Nothing like that is going to happen, know keep walking, we are almost there."

"You are right," I said following him. "I shouldn't be thinking like that, we are probably not even going to make it inside."

"Leah…"

"Charlie is going to shoot me from the front door."

"No one is going to shoot you."

"Ah! This would be so much easier if Dad were here," I told myself trying to control myself. "He would support us and he would tell me that everything is going to be ok."

"Everything is going to be ok Leah," Liam assured me before kissing my forehead.

"I want a real kiss."

"Not till we finish this, that was the deal."

"Considering that this is the last time we are going to be together, I think I deserve a real kiss."

"For the last time, no one is going to die."

"You are only saying that because you don't know my mother, in half an hour we are going to wish we were dead."

"As long as we die together…"

"You are not taking this seriously!"

"Is kind of hard with you screaming ridiculous things every five seconds."

"What?"

"Nothing."

"Liam Reed if you…!"

"By the way, what does Charlie know?"

"What do you mean?" my curiosity beat my anger.

"Does he know everything? About werewolves, vampires, imprinting…"

"Yeah, my mother began telling him the truth a year ago, he didn't want to know anything, but it was very hard to hide secrets from him, so we told him everything eventually."

"Does he know about me?"

"My mum was supposed to talk about you with him before we arrive for lunch."

"Perfect."

"Perfect? This is just going to give him more reasons to shoot us!" I exclaimed while we stopped walking a few steps from my mother's house.

"They are your family Leah, give them some credit, besides is not like I am a total stranger, they probably saw me when I was a kid. Now stop worrying and let me do the hard work, this is not my first 'parent's meeting', I am pretty good at this I must say."

"Parent's meetings? This is not going to be a lovely meeting; we are heading to an interrogation room!"

"Police Officer Charlie Swan," Liam said like he was talking about someone very important. "He can't be that bad."

"Charlie? He is not the one you should be scare of, Sue Clearwater, that's the enemy here."

"Enemy?" Liam started laughing not believing a word I was saying. "Leah you are exaggerating."

"I am not," I assured him while I started looking at the floor.

"Did you lose something?"

"No, I am just looking for your grave, my mother probably prepared it last night," I said looking everywhere desperately. "Maybe it's on the backyard."

"Very funny," Liam said rolling his eyes. "Come on Leah, I don't want to be late for my murder."

"Laugh all you want, but don't say I didn't warn you," I said following him to the front of Charlie's house.

Liam rang the bell and I began to hear heavy footsteps coming towards the door.

"Leah! I am glad to see you!" Charlie said with a big smile opening the door.

"Hey Charlie," I greeted him trying to stay calm. "I want you to meet my boyfriend, Liam Reed."

"Hello Mr. Swan," Liam said politely extending his hand.

"Hi Liam, considering that we are going to see you a lot around here, I think it's better if you call me Charlie."

Liam just nodded and they continue shaking hands, probably doing some macho, manly thing where they judge each other based on the grip of the handshake, I don't know.

"So… can we go in?" I asked nervously.

"Sure, your mother is in the kitchen."

The three of us walked towards the little living room and I sat beside Liam on the couch. What is wrong with me? I am a tough woman; I shouldn't be feeling like this!

"Liam, what a pleasure to meet you," my mum said while she walked towards us and Liam stood up.

"The pleasure is all mine Ms. Clearwater, I mean Ms. Swan, I mean…"

"It's ok Liam, everyone just call me Sue."

"Oh, ok."

Yeah, 'Sue better runaway Clearwater', that's the way the guys used to call her in their minds.

"It's been a while since I last saw you Liam, how old are you?" My mother asked taking a seat in front of my imprint, ignoring me completely.

"23 years old."

"A man already, it's unbelievable how fast this teens grow up nowadays," she said smiling at Charlie.

"Does that have something to do with the wolf genes?" Charlie asked and I looked at him surprised. "Your mother already explained me everything."

"Oh," was all I was able to say. "We think is because of the genes, we all have very fast metabolisms."

"Good to know, I thought all those kids in La Push were using steroids or something."

"Charlie!" I gave him one of my 'shout up now' looks, but he didn't stop.

"What was I supposed to think? They are like mutants."

"Or giant baseball players," Liam added. "What?" he asked me when he saw my murderer look. "It's true; my parents took me to see three different doctors when I started to grow up so fast."

"Do they know the truth?" My mother asked and I looked expectantly at Liam wondering the same.

"Not at first, my grandfather was the leader of the council and he ordered me to wait for a few years, but when he passed away I decided to tell them everything."

"Good," my mother said and I took Liam's hand in mines. "The fact that your father is now leader of the council will make things easier."

"Leader of the council?" Charlie asked confused.

"Liam is from the Makah clan dear," my mother explained and Charlie's eyes open widely.

"The Makah clan?"

"Yes," Liam said.

"But I thought that La Push and the Makah clan had some kind of rivalry between them."

"We have," I answered. "At least most of the clans have, but is only on sports competitions, territory issues and things like that, is not like we hate each other."

"I am not so sure about that young lady," Charlie said. "Do you know how much trouble the young ones gives us? The police is always investigating some kind of problem between both reservations and the only thing they do is blame each other and take revenge with their own hands."

"He is right Leah, the guys and I once covered Sam's pack tree house with jam," Liam said starting to laugh, but none of us was laughing with him so he shut up immediately. "We were ten," he added to defend himself.

"Liam, just…" I made him a sign to shut up.

"See what I mean?" Charlie asked me. "What do your friends think about this?"

"They don't care," I answered confident aware that my mother was looking straight at me. "And as far as I know no one of the other pack has a problem with it either, well except for Sam for obvious reasons that I am sure my mother already explained to you."

"Yeah, she did."

"And who cares anyway?" I added. "I mean, as far as we have each other, who cares what the rest of the reservations think?"

Liam squeezed my hand and we both looked at them. Charlie had an approval expression on his face, but my mother, well; she doesn't have any expression at all.

"So… uh," Charlie sensed the tense atmosphere and tried to change it. "Is Seth also coming for lunch?"

"No dear, I arranged everything just for the four of us," my mother answered sweetly. "But let's carry on with the conversation; this is a very interesting topic." Oh well, at least he tried.

Ding!

"Lunch is ready!" I said as if the sound of the oven's bell wasn't enough.

"Leah watch your manners! Take Liam to the dining room, Charlie and I will serve the food," my mother said.

As soon as my mum left the room I sighed heavily and I stood up.

"Saved by the bell," Liam whispered low enough so only I could hear him.

"Saved? We are walking to a table full of knives, what is safe about that?"

"I think we are doing fine."

"Well I think…" I shut up when I heard Charlie's voice from the kitchen; sometimes super hearing comes very useful.

"He looks like a good boy."

"I know."

"And Leah seems to like him."

"I know."

"And you know him since he was a kid."

"I know Charlie, believe me this is not about Liam, is about Leah," my mother said. "And you two should be ashamed of yourselves, is not polite to hear someone else's conversation," she added entering the dining room followed by Charlie.

"Is not like we can help it mum!" I exclaimed and Liam's face turned red.

"Sorry Ms. Clea-Swa… I mean Sue."

"I bet is awesome," Charlie said offering me the meat. "Having super powers I mean."

"They are not super powers Charlie," I said trying not to lose it. "We just have ah… we have the same things, just better. We can hear better, see better, run faster, things like that."

"Like Spiderman."

"Yeah like…wait, what?"

"Yeah like spiderman," Liam agreed. "Just replace the spider with a wolf, add a freaky transformation whenever we get angry and you got us."

"Really?" I asked my imprint raising my eyebrows not believing my ears.

"A few have better abilities than other ones though," Liam commented.

"Do any of you have laser vision?"

"Charlie!" my mum exclaimed.

"I am kidding," he said trying not to laugh. "Do you have any special skill Leah?"

"Well, I am the fastest of the three packs in human and wolf for," I commented proudly, is nice to be able to say I am good at something.

"The three?" my mother asked and all I saw in her eyes were concern questions, she probably thinks I shouldn't be spending so much time with Liam's pack. My imprint saw the tension between us and tried to help me.

"Indeed, I am the fastest wolf of my pack and the other day we race against each other and Leah won, although I don't like to admit it."

"And what about you Liam?" Charlie asked him.

"Oh I have special abilities even before turning into a giant werewolf; no one can deal with my irresistible charm, stellar good looks and amazing football skills."

His what?

"You like football?" Charlie asked interested. I can't believe that's all that called his attention. "Which is your favorite team?"

"And here we go," I murmured to myself while Liam and Charlie began a long conversation about sports; at least is a normal conversation.

"I am going to bring more meat," my mother said.

"More?" Charlie asked taking a look at the already full table. "We have enough food to feed an entire army."

"Yes, but not for two hungry werewolves, you'll be surprise at how much they can eat."

"Allow me to…"

"Don't worry Liam, Leah will help me," my mother said and I felt a chill going down my back.

"Yeah, I will," I said swallowing with difficulty. "Is there something wrong?" I asked her once we were in the kitchen alone. Why else would she call me here? We both know she can carry a few plates with meat all by herself.

"I want to ask you the same thing," my mother said preparing the food.

"Of course there is nothing wrong, except for the fact of your intimidating attitude," I said angrily.

"I am not using an intimidating attitude."

"But you haven't been acting nice either, don't you approve Liam?" I asked concerned.

"You just said you don't need anyone's approval."

"Well, yeah, but it would be nice to hear something positive from the people I love," I am so regretting this later. "I don't need your approval, but I want it."

"You want it?" My mother asked.

"Yes, I do."

"Fine," my mother said ready to leave the kitchen. "Now I will use my intimidating attitude."

Oh shit, what the hell have I done!

"Wait, mum!" I followed her to the dining room, but she was already sitting in the table again.

"Now I get it," Charlie said while he chose some salad. "You are like Romeo and Juliet mixed with Dracula and Wolfman."

"Yeah, we are meeting with Harry Potter tonight to see if Cinderella wants to join the story, enough with the metaphors!" I asked angrily before Charlie could say something he would regret later.

"Liam, I have to ask you something," we all look expectant at my mother. "What are your intentions with my daughter?"

"Who wants metaphors?" I asked desperately.

"Leah shut up and eat your food."

"Yes madam," I put a big piece of meat in my mouth and I wished I had invisibility powers.

I wasn't the only one with bad reactions; Liam had choked with his water and was trying to regain his composure again.

"I am sorry, what?"

"You haven't thought about it, have you?"

"Mum! We've only been dating for two weeks, you can't possibly expect that we…!"

"You share a double imprint Leah; don't tell me that you haven't thought about the future."

"That's the magical tie right?" I swear, if my mum wasn't here I would kill Charlie for his inappropriate comments, is he serious or he is just joking?

"Imprint bond," I corrected him. "So what?"

"So? Leah we are going to be together for the rest of our lives," Liam said worriedly.

"I know."

"I know you know, but have you thought about it?"

"Of course I have thought about it, but is too early to worry about it, can't we just date and spend some time together like we've been doing and then…"

"When is 'then' exactly Leah?" my mother asked me.

"Why do you care?"

"Because I am your mother and I am worried about you. I let you taste two weeks of paradise, but now you have to assume your responsibilities as a grown up woman and decide which one is your next step."

"Mum you don't…"

"Your mother is right Leah," Liam interrupted me.

"What?"

"We need to decide a lot of things, maybe we are not going to decide everything now, but we need a plan."

I looked at them while I sighed and crossed my arms over my chest; they are right, damn it! I hate when my mother is right. I don't know if I am going to live with Liam for the rest of my life, I want to, but there are a lot things we have to decide first.

"Ok, ok, we need a plan," I admitted.

"Perfect!" Charlie exclaimed happily.

"Ahh, when I said 'we', I meant Liam and I," I clarified immediately

"We should start by explaining everything to my parents," Liam suggested.

"I thought you had explained them everything," I said giving him one of my angry looks.

"I did, but they still don't get the imprinting thing, I think it would be better if we explained it to them together, besides they want to meet you."

"Liar."

"Ok," he said rolling his eyes. "I want you to meet them."

"Mmm…"

"You aren't afraid, are you?" Charlie asked me entertained with my bad mood.

"Of course not!"

"Come on Leah, what's the worst thing that can happen?" My imprint asked me.

"You don't get it, everyone in La Push look at you as my savior; you are the great, good looking guy who came to save me from my emotional black hole. Your parents on the other way… they probably think I am just a crazy girl who ruined his son's future forever."

"I was about to get married to an insane harpy, I am stuck in my reservation for being the alpha of a 20 werewolf pack and my worst enemy is out there drinking human blood, what future are you talking about? They should be happy for us; you gave me a purpose, something to live for."

Liam took my hands in his and I wanted to say something, but the situation was getting really awkward; Charlie was nodding and smiling stupidly at us and my mother was looking at me intently, like if she was desperately looking for something to criticize.

"I don't have any experience at parent's meetings," I finally said and Liam laughed at me.

"Leah you are the toughest woman I have ever meet, you'll be fine," Charlie said drinking more wine.

"What did you do when you date Sam?" My mother asked and I looked at her surprised.

Why mother, why? She just had to bring on Sam to the conversation! I should have expected this…

"That's a complete different situation, Sam only had his mother and she knew me since I was a kid, that doesn't count," I said trying to think in something to avoid talking about my ex-boyfriend.

"Who wants dessert?" Charlie asked and I let go a big amount of air I didn't know I was holding; I knew there was a reason I kept him alive.

"I'll help you," I offered myself immediately and I followed him to the kitchen carrying the empty dishes.

"Thanks, I am not very good with these things."

"Anytime Charlie," I said just glad to be able to get out of the room.

"She just wants the best for you."

"I know, I just wish I could know what she is thinking."

"You can always ask Edward," Charlie said laughing at his own joke.

"We have enough trouble without the Cullen's here," I said preparing dessert.

"Relax Leah, everything is going to be ok," he assured me, but it didn't work very much.

"I really hope so."

"Uh… Leah?" he asked me while we put everything in the dishwasher.

"What?"

"You do realize you just left your boyfriend and your mother alone in a room, right?"

It felt like if someone had thrown a bucket of freezing water over me.

"Crap."

I ran towards the dining room, but there was no one there. Shit! I left for one minute and she already kill him! Breathe Leah, breathe, they can't be that far…

"And this one is from our trip to Mexico," I heard my mother talking upstairs.

"Leah looks good in this picture," my imprint said.

I was about to go upstairs when Charlie put his hand over my shoulder.

"Leave them a while alone, give them the chance to get to know each other," he told me before dragging me again to the kitchen.

I let him do it, and I helped him clean everything, but I kept listening what was happening upstairs. They were talking as normal people while they watch some photographs. For one moment I thought everything was fine, until my mother started with her awkward questions again.

"She was going to leave," she started to say. "Did she tell you about that?"

"Yeah, Leah told me she always knew she was going to have to leave La Push, that this wasn't the place for her."

"She was going to travel around the world," my mother said; curious, I always thought she wasn't listening a word I was saying.

"Now I am stopping her," Liam said. "I can't leave while I am the alpha of my pack, and I don't want to leave them either, not yet."

"I didn't want her to leave, but if that's what she needed… anyway, that's not going to happen now, so…"

"I am not understanding."

"All you need to know is that mothers tend to be very intuitive persons."

"Ah…"

"It doesn't matter where she is, as long as she is happy."

"I am not taking her away from you, or her family, her pack… La Push is her home."

"Don't be naive boy; imprint is probably the strongest thing in the world, and a double imprint…"

"I promise you I will never heart her."

"The last one who promised me that broke her heart into a million pieces."

"Is not the same, Leah is my imprint; just the thought hurting her is unbearable."

"Forgive me Liam, but I just don't trust imprinting."

"But you can trust us."

"Only time will say."

"Dessert is ready!" I shout loud enough so my mother could hear.

"Don't forget your pills dear," my mother remembered Charlie while she started coming downstairs.

She entered the kitchen at the same time I was going out, but she didn't look at me. I found Liam sitting in the dining room and I sat beside him.

"What was that about?" I whispered to him not even caring to hide how worried I was feeling.

"I have no freaking idea," Liam said with a tense tone.

"Leah," my mother called from the kitchen.

"Yes?"

"I already decided," she said appearing with a big cake. "Let me know when you visit Liam's parents, I am going with you."


Oh yeah! Sue Clearwater really knows how to scare the hell out of you. Like it? It was very difficult to write this chapter, I wasn't sure if this was a good idea, please let me know.

What do you think Sue thinks is going to happen?

Does anyone have good ideas of what should happen in Liam's house? Don't forget to tell me.

Thanks for reading, I'll update soon, have a nice day!
