I tried not hover around the doorway as I waited for Leah to come inside now that she was finally back from her date with Aaron whom to my annoyance was still in the picture though I tried to make it clear nobody besides Leah wanted him around. I didn't want the she-wolf to think I had been waiting for her to get back even though that is exactly what I had been doing. When she didn't come back at eleven like she had said she would I had to literally stop myself from going over to the humans house and dragging her home because I wasn't her father and she was a grown woman who should be allowed to come and go as she wanted. I would not take the chance of upsetting her and having her move out because of it. It was probably exactly what that principle of hers wanted and I would not give him the pleasure of being right.

When the door opened I clicked the television on quickly so it would look as if I had been watching TV instead of waiting for her. I did my best to look startled when she sat down next to me on the couch. "Oh Leah I didn't even hear you guys pull in the driveway. I was just watching television for a while since both Renesmee and Seth are sound asleep. I hope you did not rush home on my account or anything. I would hate to have ruined your date with Aaron. How is he doing by the way?"

"Good job with the whole trying to act as if you were watching television, but I heard you click it on when I opened the door." She stated with a smile and shake of her head as I cursed not being fast enough to full her. "I know you were waiting for me to get home and I am sorry it took so long. Time sort of just got away from us and then he asked me to go away with for the holidays and I had to explain that I already had plans."

I started to do a dance of victory in my head when I realized that Leah had turned down his offer to have Christmas with her brother, Nessie, and I. Ha I guess that he couldn't replace us after all. Still I tried to look concerned so she would not have any idea how happy I really was. "You know if you want to go with him I would never ask you to stay here for Christmas. You have no obligation to stay and if you would rather spend time with your boyfriend I completely understand that. He probably thinks that I am trying to keep you from him and you need to know that I would never do that Leah. I want you to do what makes you happy. If you go with him we can always have a late Christmas or something."

"I am right where I want to be." My Quilette roommate told me as she clicked of the television and turned her body that I would have her full attention and vice versa. "To be truthful I really do like him, but he is moving kind of fast for my liking. I mean it's not as if he is doing anything wrong and I think it's great that he likes me and wants to get to know one another, but I was in one relationship where I moved to fast and I ended up with my heart broken so I am kind of hesitant especially since he wants me to spend the night this weekend."

"Spend the night?" I asked feeling confused since I did not remember many human customs when it came to dating and the dating world had changed quite a bit since I was human. "What is he like twelve? Does he want to stay up late watching scary movies and gossiping?"

Leah laughed so hard that she ended up choking and I had to pat her on the back to ensure her survival. "No, it's not just me staying over it's me staying over you know?"

I frowned still not understanding. "I don't follow."

With a roll of her eyes she huffed. "He wants me to stay at his place this weekend so we can have sex."

Now it was I who was choking which was ironic considering that I had no need to breathe. Leah patted me on the back as I had done with her until she was sure that I was alright even though we both knew that choking would really have no effect on me other than to leave me feeling a tad uncomfortable. "Isn't it a bit early for him to be thinking about that sort of thing? You haven't even been together six months and not to mention you're not even engaged. I know this is probably outdated, but I think if a man wants to be with a woman he should court her the right way instead of simply thinking of sex first."

"It is an old fashioned notion, but I actually think you are right." She told me with a small frown. "I didn't sleep with Sam until we were engaged and even then he pressured me in to doing it when I wasn't ready and yet I did because I loved him and look where that left me. I want to tell Aaron I'm not ready, but I am afraid if I say no that he is going to end up leaving me and what if I do sleep with him and all he wanted was sex?"

"Leah," I started taking her hand in mine and catching her eye. "If this guy really cares for you he will understand that you want to wait and if he is stupid enough to leave you because of it then that is his loss not yours. Do not do something you are not comfortable with simply because you are afraid of losing him. If he did leave you for a reason as stupid as sex he isn't worth it. I know that if I were him I would wait forever for you to be ready because you are worth the wait."

The next morning I came downstairs to find Leah sitting at the coffee table staring at the wall. Immediately I knew that something was bothering her. "What's on your mind wolf girl?"

My smile was met by a blank look from the woman in question as she tilted her head my way. Her face was void of all emotion and I was reminded of the Leah had had first met. The cold and bitter woman not the one I shared my home with now. It actually sent a shiver of fear down my spine especially when she opened her mouth to speak. "Aaron called me this morning and he has decided that he wants to take a break. He says it won't be forever, but apparently I am not sure what I want and he actually had to the nerve to tell me that I was in love with you. I couldn't believe he dragged you in to this when he is just a coward who wants out. He found out I wasn't going to spend the weekend with him and suddenly he wants a break. All men are the same and I don't know why I even bother anymore. He claims he will call me after the holidays, but I am not going to hold my breath waiting for that to happen."

Immediately I knelt down in front of her taking her hands in mine. I flashed back to the moment Bella had left me when I thought my life was over and that I would never live again. I did not want Leah to go through that because some idiot human couldn't realize how amazing she actually happened to be. "Leah you did nothing wrong. I know you probably think that you this is your fault, but I can promise you that it is not. Aaron is a human who has human feelings and he wasn't worthy of you to begin. Don't give up on the idea of love because of him. I promise you that there is someone out there who will prove to you how wonderful you are, but that can only happen if you do not close yourself off from love. I know that you are hurting over this and I do not blame yet please promise me that you will never give up in search of your soul mate. You deserve so much better than Aaron and you will find it I swear."

She scoffed and wiped at her eyes which were tearing up, but I refrained from commenting on it because she would deny it anyways. "You are a hopeless romantic Edward Cullen. I thought that you of all people would be on the never love again train after what Bella did to you. How can you have faith that love exists after she tore your heart out and abandoned her family so easily?"

Leah did have a point when she stated how Bella had broken my heart, but then again it did not mean I was meant to be unhappy and I would explain that to Leah. "Bella did hurt me, but you see I think that everything happens for a reason. If Bella had never left then I never would have gotten close to you and had the family that I do now. It hurt at the time and sometimes I still do not understand why she did what she did, but I wouldn't change it if I could because her leaving brought me you. Maybe Aaron dumping you will turn out to be a good thing. There are lots of other guys who are interested n you Leah you just have to open your eyes and see them."

"Well there may be guys who are interested in me, but for right now I am putting a ban on dating." She stated punching me in the arm playfully as she did whenever she had the opportunity to do so. "Besides I don't need love in my life right now because I have you, Seth, and Ness which is enough in my book. Aaron couldn't handle that and I guess he wanted me to choose and if I had to choose it would be you every single time. Sometimes I wonder why we never hooked up, but then I am glad we didn't because it probably would have screwed up everything we have now and I would never want to risk that."

Smirking I winked at her. "See I always knew that you thought about me in that way. You never know what can happen in the future. Maybe one day you and I will end up together and you will look back on this fling you had with Aaron and what you ever saw in that silly human to begin with. Now no more talk about failed relationships today because I am banning it. I was thinking that you and I could go shopping for Seth and Renesmee today how does that sound?"

"I think it sounds like you are letting me use your credit card so I can go on a present buying binge." Leah stood up and looped her arm through his. "You know I am really surprised how good you are at these pep talk things you do whenever I am feeling down. I mean for someone as Emo as you I really thought you'd suck at it, but you are actually not half bad at it. Maybe you should think about becoming a therapist for the undead or something."

I laughed and looked down at her. "I think dealing with one crazy she-wolf is enough for me thank you very much."

TBC…

AN: Hey you all I posted this because if I don't keep my mind busy I burst in to tears and I can't cry all of the time. I wasn't going to have Aaron break up with Leah yet, but then it flowed well, better than what I had planned. He will make an appearance in the future so Aaron fans don't be too sad. Let me know if you all liked this chapter or not. I think it came out alright though not perfect considering my mind is everywhere right now.

Please R&R like always!
