Leah took a shaky breath as she entered the Cullen home without knocking, feeling sick from the smell. She had a glorious night, but this morning she had woken up to an upset stomach that wanted to get rid of anything it ever had. Leah hadn't eaten anything but a carrot stick, and began to crave… something. She just didn't know what.
When she and Demetri pulled up, Leah didn't bother knocking. She stood in the living room, waiting for the veggie leeches to make their presents known. Renesmee was the first.
"Leah!" Renesmee shouted, flinging her arms around her shoulders and practically pulling her to the white carpet as she squeezed hard. Leah paled, already feeling sick but it was put to the max when the rest of the Cullen clan entered the room. Demetri was by her side, clenching his fist behind his back. Leah felt trapped in Renesmee's arms, as if there was no way to go.
"Uh… Nessie? Aunty Leah's got to go to the bathroom so you-"Leah gagged before she could finish. Her face turned a little green, so Renesmee took Leah's face in hers.
"Are you okay?" she asked softly. Leah gagged and pulled her face from the half vamp.
Renesmee looked confused, but Emmet went to her rescue by picking her up bridal style her up and hauling her to the bathroom. She barely made it to the toilet.
"Jeez She Wolf, warn somebody next time!" Emmet laughed, and Leah resisted punching him in the face by gripping the toilet harder.
After Leah rinsed her mouth out, she pulled out the spare tooth brush she kept in her pocket. Leah knew she'd need it. She felt a small breeze behind her and smirked in the mirror at her mate.
"Don't humans bring toothbrushes to dentist appointments?" Demetri asked Leah as she put the toothbrush back in her pack pocket.
"Yeah, but considering my morning…" Leah trailed off as she took his hand and walked out the door.
Leah began to walk down the hallway, but was pulled into a room by a random pale arm.
"Almost a year since the last time you did that huh?" Leah asked, knowing full well it was Rosalie.
"Yep, and it's still fun to do." Rosalie smirked, gesturing to the hospital bed in the middle of the room. "Well? Sit down. Carlisle's getting his stuff ready; he'll be here in a second."
Leah took her leather jacket off and set in on a nearby chair, getting comfortable.
"Hello Miss Leah." Carlisle's smooth voice said to her left. She nodded towards him, grinning at his back.
"How's it?" she muttered softly, glancing at Demetri who was just staring at her.
"I'm fine, but I'm guessing from your episode a second ago you're not feeling so well." Carlisle chuckled. Leah noticed he'd glance at Demetri out of the corner of his eye every few seconds.
"No, not really. Not trying to be rude, but can we do this quickly? I have to meet my mom before we go back to Italy." Leah was eager to see her mom, but eager to go back home at the same time. She didn't have time for small talk.
"Yes, we'll just speed through it." Carlisle replied. He began to ask her a few questions about her life the past few months, and when she realized she was pregnant. She explained that she had been feeling sick for a while, but she had gotten a fever a few weeks before this. It had been so bad that she had to cuddle with Felix (shudder) to cool down. If she touched Demetri she would feel calm and peaceful, but around any other leeches she was nervous and on guard. Carlisle took notes and nodded, urging her to continue. After about a half an hour, Carlisle went to stand at his desk and look over the notes.
"I'm still mad at you." Demetri muttered after a moment of silence. Leah glanced at him confusion.
"Why?"
Demetri didn't have a chance to answer. Practically the whole pack barged in. Well, not the whole pack but the orginal one. (Sam, Paul, Jared, Jacob, Embry, Quil, Seth) Leah sat straighter, and put a protective hand on Demetri's shoulders.
"What is she doing here?" Paul growled. Demetri moved to stand, but Leah held him back. She could see Sam near the door.
"I see you made a quick recovery Sammy." Leah crooned mockingly. Sam pushed through the shirtless men to face her. He opened his mouth to say something but Alice barged in.
"Did they do something to you? Is the baby okay?" she gasped. Leah growled in exasperation and fought the urge to strangle the pixie leech.
"Alice! Shut up!" Rosalie shouted. The shape shifters looked at Leah in shock before laughing a little bit.
"That's funny. Good joke Pixie." Jared laughed, seeing the look of hurt on Leah's face. Leah wasn't hurt because it was a joke, she was hurt because of the way her so called pack had found out. She hadn't wanted them to know in the first place.
He's just that stupid. Leah thought.
"It wasn't a joke, wolf." Demetri hissed. "She's pregnant with my child."
There was a moment of silence before chaos erupted. Seth had previously downstairs eating a sandwich Esme had made him, and he, like Sam had done minutes before, pushed past everyone to get a better view of his sister.
"We will not allow it!" Sam shouted.
"It's a fucking monster!" Embry growled.
"We'll have to kill it." Paul said with an evil look on his face.
It was history repeating itself again. Just like Bella's pregnancy, everyone was jumping to conclusions about the child.
When Paul mentioned something about killing her baby, Leah perked up. Something inside her snapped, and she stepped towards Paul threateningly. The wolves growled, glancing at her flat stomach with a hunger in their eyes that made her feel nervous. Demetri crouched into a defensive position. The vampires in the room besides Demetri felt the need to exit quickly, but Rosalie and Alice were next to Leah in a heartbeat.
Sam decided to take matters in his own hands. He pulled Leah towards him by her shoulders and shook her violently, making her head rock back and forth and her hair to swish about. Demetri was livid by this that he was held back by Alice and Rosalie, who barley could hold him back from killing the wolf. They didn't want to cause more trouble, but desperatly wanted to help their friend. Seth tried talking his Alpha down without making him even more angry.
"This. Is. Too. Far. Leah." Sam said with each furious shake. Leah just let it happen, because she already had a plan in mind. She let her wolf take over, and something else that felt more… complex. When she'd been let go she just looked at Sam, her hair wild and her clothes a little ruffled. That's when she smiled at him sweetly. She took his arms from his sides and like a lasso tossed him out of the glass window and onto the balcony. Leah grinned at the sound of his moans of pain, and began to go do more damage, but was stopped by Paul with a hand on her shoulder.
Nothing could prepare them for what happened next. For a split second, Leah wasn't Leah. The little rose vines she'd get on her face when Demetri touched her kissed her appeared, but it made her look evil this time. Her teeth were bared, and they seemed to get longer with each nanosecond that passed. Her eyes were that lightning purple that everyone now feared. It was terrifying. What was worse was the sound she made. Have you ever heard the sound of a lion, Tyrannosaurus Rex, and a loud engine running times 20? That was what the whole pack plus the vampires heard. The loud, ferocious roar could be heard over in Forks and the reservation, and many thought the world was ending from the sound.
Leah's eyes turned back to their gray hazel after her roar, and her eyes rolled into the back of her head as her body crumbled to the floor, twitching and jerking. Demetri finally broke free of Rosalie and held Leah's body close to his, waiting for the seizure to stop. When it passed, he lifted her body to his and set her back on the hospital bed, calling desperately for Carlisle.
If vampires could cry, Demetri would be. His love for the she wolf was like a raw ache that tickled his sides and clawed at his heart. Demetri had planned to propose to his shape shifter girlfriend that day, after he had gotten her mother's permission when they met up with her. Now, he wasn't even sure Leah was going to be okay, and his ears were still ringing from that roar he just heard.
"What was that?!" Carlisle came rushing in, doing medical things on Leah so fast Demetri couldn't even detect him… which is saying something. The vampire tracker explained in a rushed tone what had happened, not giving a fuck about the pained moans coming from the balcony belonging to Sam. When the pack felt it was okay to come back in (and keeping their eyes on Demetri the whole time) they took his crumbled body and set it on the lounge chair in a corner for Carlisle to work on after he was done with Leah, if he did.
Leah woke up to feel a familiar yet warm body pressed to her side. She turned her head to the left cautiously, and found it to be Sam Uley unconscious.
She stumbled to her feet, muffling her scream with a hand over her mouth. Her knees buckled her and she was about to fall again, but was caught by comforting cool arms. She sighed in relief.
"Thanks babe." She smiled up at Demetri, who chuckled. Still carrying Leah, he got her purse from the side table and helped her down the stairs. They were once again stopped before they could get to Leah's Mustang.
"I'll send you the results in a month Leah. Also, take it easy. The seizure was just a reaction from your wolf gene. Your body is working too hard against it, and trying to make sure your baby doesn't get it. The fever from a few weeks ago was your body losing, but it's working again." Carlisle also assisted them getting to the car, and when Leah was strapped in and ready to go, he talked to Demetri outside the car for a few minutes with a serious expression before he went back into the house.
Sue Clearwater set the tea down in Old Quil's feeble hands. Her daughter was on her way, crossing the border at this second. This changed everything…If they could convince Leah that the legends about her were true. A beautiful woman in her twenty's sitting next to Quil and had her legs crossed, wearing a long light orange silk dress. She had light brown hair, and kind blue eyes that reminded Sue of summer. But that was just the effect.
A knock on the door made Sue jump to her feet and sprint. There stood her daughter in all her glory, standing proud next to a pale man in a black t shirt and jeans. Even with plain clothes and messy hair to almost at his shoulders he was amazing to look at.
"Leah!" Sue shouted, gripping the female shifter in a vice like hug that made her breathless. Leah tried her best to hug her mother back, but it was useless.
"You must be Demetri." Sue grinned at him. Demetri gave a her a sheepish smile, holding out his hand. Sue looked at it for a second before flinging herself in Demetri's arms too.
"No need to be so formal, we're family. Come on in." Sue motioned for them to join her in the living room, where the women in orange stood as if that was her cue.
Leah smiled at her, but have her mother a confused glance.
"I'd like you both to meet Summer." Sue brought them together graciously, and Leah had to do a double take at the women.
What they all didn't know was that Leah had seen this woman before in the woods, watching her.
A/N: More drama next chapter :) I hope you enjoyed this one!
I know this story hasn't been updated in a while and I'm not going to make up an excuse for it, I had a serious case of writers block for this chapter. See, I have this journal that I plan all my fics and my personal stories in. I make the gist of the chapter on it and go ahead and write it any way I want to, but this chapter was supposed to be filled with a whole bunch of stuff I didn't know how to do it. So, this chapter is going to be split into about 3, since it was going to be LONG.
REVEIW! I shall cry raindrops for you! The more you reveiw the faster I update btw :) Love you all my donuts :D
