A little over a week:

Daniel nervously tugged at his tie as Leah and Jake stood on either side of him inside the court room. He knew the day was coming but he didn't expect he was going to be as nervous as he felt. Leah and Jake really want me!... He thought smiling up at Jake as the big man smiled down at him with a wink. Daniel took his dad's hand and gave it a squeeze before turning his head to see Leah's large belly then her smiling face. It had been a few weeks since Leah had found out she was pregnant and each day her stomach grew twice the size as before.

"You ready little man?" Jake asked as Billy called them into the reservation's official room with a long desk. A thin Quilente woman sat there, with a bunch of papers and stamps in front of her. Taking a deep breath Daniel nodded as his new parents lead him to the desk to have a seat.

"Hello, I'm Nicole." The women said as she pushed up the glasses on her nose to look at the three. She proceeded to press record on her hand held recorder and started speaking.

"Im Nicole Marley and we are here today to conduct a formal adoption of the minor Daniel James Goldfeather to one Jacob Ephiam Black and Leah Suzette Black." Smiling at Daniel, Nicole looked up at Jake and spoke into the recorder before pushing it towards him.

"Jacob, are you of sound body and mind?"

"Yes" Jake replied.

"Leah, are you of sound body and mind?"

"Yes" Leah replied.

"Do you understand that you are here today to adopt and accept all prenatal responsibility for the child Daniel James Goldfeather?"

"Yes," they said together.

"Do you understand that this responsibility includes but does not limit you to provide financial and emotional support for said child."

"Yes," they said together again.

"Now Daniel, can you tell me why you're here?" Nicole asked looking at the little shifter as he wiggled in his chair.

"Because Jake and Leah want to be my parents…" Dee replied.

Frowning Nicole tilted her head. "And what do you want Daniel? Do you want them as your parents?"

Leah and Jake looked down at him as he looked between their faces. Leah's smile fell a little as he still didn't reply to Nicole while Jake gave him a wink and nod letting him know that whatever he decided they would still love him. Daniel smiled back at the large man with his kind eyes. He thought back on the day before when they had all gone to the PowWow. Billy and Old lady Shawnie had orchestrated it to bring back some life to La Push after the fires left many people without homes.

"Mommy?! Can I go with Jo Jo and get our faces painted?" He had asked smiling up with ice cream dripping from his chin.

"Sure, sure sweetie just stay in sight of the pack." She said bending over to look at some handcrafted jewelry not really paying him any mind as Jake stood behind her keeping his hand on her lower back. Over the last week Jake hadn't moved from her side, much like his new aunt Rose, once they found out that the babies would be born in less than a few weeks. Not wasting another minute. He took off running after his friend, ducking in and out of booths in search for the face painting man. However, just as he came up to the last booth he ran smack dab into someones side. With his superior strength Daniel barely felt it as he plopped back on his butt and was just getting up when strong hands gripped his shoulders making him squint and squirm.

"Watch where the fuck you're going kid!" the mans voice snapped out as he gave Daniel a shove sending him back to the floor again. Daniel froze, the voice sent a shiver down his spin, slowly looking up he was met with the angry face of Derek his aunt Janettes boyfriend as he kept yelling at him.

"Still acting like a shit I see… glad to see your someones else's problem now."

"I... I… I…" Daniel stuttered out as his heart rate picked up and he stayed in his spot on the ground. Tear threaten to spill from his eyes as he look at the meanest face he had ever seen. He barely register his aunt Janettes voice as she started speaking in hushed tones to Derek to calm him down.

"Stop what your doing now!" she snapped in Derek's ear as she smiled down at Daniel. Daniel could see her stomach had grown rounder like Leahs and the sinking feeling of rejection and hurt flooded his mind as he remembered she gave him up for the baby growing inside.

"I don't give a fuck who he's living with woman, this kid needs to learn some manners" Derek shouted ripping his hand out of hers as he went to raise his it to smack Daniel, the little shifter scooted back on his butt until he felt a pair of warm hands on his shoulder lifting him up to stand on his feet and the sweet smell of vanilla surrounded him. Tears came wildly down his cheeks as his heart started pumping hard again in his chest and he clutched Leahs leg sobbing into her thigh. A loud growl came from somewhere and he felt his body being pushed and the scent of his pack brothers were around them. Looking up he could see the worried look on her face as she came down to his level with some help from Embry.

"Dee baby look at me… Focus on me…" She cooed making sure he kept his eyes on her.

His breathing was coming hard and fast while his body shook hard with the need to phase and run.

"Daniel! You have to calm down…" she whispered wrapping her arms around his body and kissing his temple as she continued to sooth him. "Your safe. I promise Dee… I need you to breathe steady with me." His head was pushed into her shoulder as she ran her hands through his short hair and down his back then back up again until his shaking had come to a stop and his tears began to dry.

"Who do you think you're talking too?" Jakes voice boomed out startling Daniel back into the present. Raising his head Daniel watched as Jake shoved Derek up against a post growling in his face. It was just then that he realized they had all moved to behind the booths and out of the ear shot from the large crowds of the powwow.

"That little shit knocked into me! I almost knock over my girl trying to catch myself." Derek snapped back unaware of the danger he was actually in as the pack came pushing in to make sure no one else saw what was happening.

"So you push a defenseless child!" Leah growled out jumping up as quickly as she could, which wasn't very fast. Jake looked concerned as his wife wobbled side to side but calmed down as Embry caught her elbow and steadied her.

"Someone needs to teach him manners, he just stood there looking like a dum-"

"Shut up." Jake growled not letting the asshole finish. "Your going to apologized to him right now."

"The hell I am!" Derek screeched out as Janette nudged him and spoke under her breath. "Yes you will, unless you enjoy being homeless! Your yelling at the chiefs son. If he feels like making our house his second bathroom he can and there is nothing we can do about it! So shut up and do what he asks!"

Derek snorts and sways back a little and that's when Daniel thinks that the grown man was probably drinking again.

He was always meaner when he was drinking… Daniel thought while wwrapping his arms around Leahs leg. He held tight and hid his face as best he could. Jake pointed toward him and demanded again that Derek apologize.

"Now, he's waiting."

"Fuck you" Derek spat and Janette groaned covering her face.

"Do it or Ill make you do it." Jake growled. Derek sized up Jake before swinging a fist straight at him. Scared, Daniel hid his face in Leahs side and refused to look until Leah nudge him and made him. Jake had caught the fist with his large hand and began squeezing, causing Derek to grit his teeth in pain. Twisting his wrist Jake bent Dereks arm behind the drunk mans back and shoved him towards Leah and Dee. Looking up with awe at his Jake he watched as the large man placed his other hand right where the neck met the shoulder and pinched hard making him cry out and fall to his knees in front of Daniel.

"Now do you have something you would like to say to my son?" Jake asked as if speaking to a child.

"Fuck you." Derek spat, so Jake squeezed harder on his bent arms till Derek cried out his apology. "Im sorry! I'm sorry! Fuck let go!"

"Tell him why your sorry…" Jake demanded pinching harder.

"I'm sorry for shoving you!"

"And"

"And yelling at you."

"And."

"And… and… and what man? That's all I did."

"Apologize for being a worthless shit head." Jake added for his own pleasure.

"And I'm sorry for being a worthless shit head! Let go!" Derek shouted.

Jake only eased up as Leah rubbed Dee's back. "What do you say when someone says their sorry?" She asked.

Looking up at Leah he didn't want to say anything to the mean man but knew its what she wanted him to do, so he held tight to her leg and looked Derek straight in the eye.

"Thank you... I'm sorry I ran into you I'll be more careful next time." As soon as the words left his mouth Daniel was hiding again in Leahs side. He could only hear as there was some scuffling and the sounds of the pack leaving the area behind the booths. Strong hands picked him up and Jakes concerned face came into view as the large man placed him on his hip and kissed his head.

"Daniel…" nodding Dee looked around to see it was only him, Leah and Jake in the back before focusing on Jakes voice. "We're very proud of you…"

"So proud." Leah said rubbing his back and placing a kiss on his cheek.

"I want you to make me a promise…" Jake whispered.

"Ok" he whispered back.

"Never let anyone ever tell you your worthless… your our son and one day you will lead La Push and any future Packs… Your important, your smart, and your ours." Jake said squeezing Daniel tight making the little shifter melt into his safe embrace.

"Now… who wants their face painted?!" Leah cheered as Dee nodded his head.

"Can we all get matching ones!" He asked as Leah wiped his cheeks of his tears.

"You bet." Jake laughed swinging Dee onto his shoulders to carry him while wrapping an arm around Leah to bring her in for a kiss.

Once they were moving Dee looked down and whispered to Jake. "Thank you... Daddy."

Jake didn't answer but only gave Dee's leg a gentle squeeze in return, letting the little shifter know that he would never be alone again...

The memory slipped away Daniel smiled wide at his new parents and looked over at Nicole as she waited for his answer.

"Yes. I want Leah to be my mommy and Jake to be my daddy!"

They signed all the documents. It was official. They were a family.

With big smiles on all of their faces, Jake and Leah each took one of Daniel's hands to walk out of the building to the truck where Billy was waiting…

Blacks house:

The party was in full swing when they got back to the house and Leah smiled as Jake ran around the truck to help her out. Daniel jumped out on his own and ran to be at Leahs side as well. "Ahhh look at my little helpers…" She laughed pulling them both closer to her, Daniel was on cloud nine as they entered the house and everyone shouted out to them. Being quickly swept away by JoJo who wanted to play outside, Daniel waved to his new parents as they laughed and joked with his new family and close friends.

"Congratulation!" Rachel and Kim said together walking up to Leah, their stomachs only just beginning to round out.

"Thank you." She replied motioning for Rose to come help her as she needed to rest her feet. Rose was there in a blink taking her other arm and helped her sit on the stool inside the kitchen.

"How are you feeling?" Rose asked with a serious face.

"Im fine for the millionth time." Leah laughed but Rose only smirked.

"Your laughing now just wait till you pop out those boys… then we'll see who's laughing!" Rose hissed playfully as Emily gasped, Rolling their eyes Leah looked over at her cousin as she stood on the far side of the kitchen as far as possible from the two vampires in the house.

"She's only kidding Em…" Leah said, exasperated.

"Oh." Was all that was heard from her corner. The party moved quickly into the early evening before the sun began to set. Seth and Brady started betting back and forth who could win a race which lead to the entire pack taking sides. Jake sat beside his wife on the porch as she continued to eat more food. Nuzzling her ear with his nose Jake kissed her neck even as she smack his cheek and laughed. "Do you mind? I'm trying to feed your little hellions." With a smile he placed a warm hand across her large stomach. They grew silents as they enjoyed the moment together, Daniel was laughing and playing out in the yard with JoJo and Paul. While the rest of the party moved around them joking and talking to each other. Leah hadn't wanted the moment to end but as Seth went on about how fast he was compared to the rest it was Leah who wanted to shut him up.

"Excuse me? If I recall I'm the fastest!" She shouted across the porch.

"Not with that stomach, you're not!" Seth joked and quickly shut his mouth as Jake whipped his head around to glare at his brother-in-law. He knew he was give Seth a hard time but he couldn't help himself. "Theres only one way to find out!" Jake said give Lee one more kiss on her lips before pushing himself up to stand.

"He's right! I challenge you my good sir to race, let the best man win…" Brady said with silly british accent, knowing full well that it had a double meaning.

"You're on." Seth said tossing his beer into the recycling bin and headed down the steps.

"Watch them." Leah warned Jake. "Carlisle won't be back for another few days and I don't feel like resetting bones!"

"I will…" Jake said leaning down once more to kiss her cheek before hopping down the steps. Daniel wiggled free from Joeys arms and chased after his dad while Leah pushed to stand up, Rose was next to her in a blink helping her steady herself. Once standing Leah, Rachel, kim and Rose watched as the men all lined up at the treeline and began to strip off their clothes revealing their strong backs and butts.

"This has to be my favorite part of phasing…" Kim whispered just loud enough for the girls on the porch to hear.

"Tell me about it…" Rachel agreed leaning against a post as Paul turned and winked at her making her laugh.

"I don't get it." A deep voice boomed from behind them startling the three of them.

"Dammit Emmett are you trying to make them go into labor!" Rose hissed as Leah grabbed her own chest then frowned.

"So ladies…" He sheepishly said coming to jump down the steps. "Not that I don't want to stay and watch you drool over your husbands, but Im starving… Rose you coming?"

Rose looked between Leah and Emmett. "Maybe I should go later…" Rose suggested until Leah grabbed her hand and pulled her off the railing. "Go eat! Im fine Rose, I promise I will be here when you get back."

"But… but… If you need help." Rose argued not liking being sent away.

"Im fine Rosie go eat dinner Ill be fine, I can tell you need to feed and if you go now you wont have to go later…" Leah insisted.

"Fine." Rose said in a huff turning and walking to the treeline. Jo Jo came up the stairs in tears and quickly walked to his mother wrapping his arms around her.

"Whats the matter pumpkin." Rachel asked looking down.

"Dee gets to go with them but I cant… daddy said no…"

Leah and Rachel gave a knowing smile as Jo Jo felt left out and took his hands to lead him into the kitchen to get some ice cream.

"I know it stinks sweetie but one day you'll get to go…" Rachel said brushing back his tears.

"But I wanna go now!" Jo Jo whined.

Leah walked in behind them as Jo Jo cried out to the women about being left out for the millionth time. Grabbing a bowl Leah scooped some of the vanilla ice cream into it and placed it in front of the whinnying child. Jo Jo's face lit up as his mom gave him a spoon.

"See now why would you want to be out there when you get to sit in here and eat ice cream and cookies!?" Kim cooed as she sat on the stool beside the kid.

"But daddy is out there and Uncle Jake! I wanna turn into a wolf sooooo bad! Its not fair Dee Dee gets to do it!" Joey whined with big fat tears coming down his cheek as he shoved another bite into his mouth before continuing. "I think I wanna eat my ice cream alone…" The women watched as Joey jumped down with a sad face and walked out the back door.

"Is he always like that?" Kim asked while Rachel shook her head and answered. "Only when they all go for a run… I keep telling him one day when he's older he'll run with them but it doesn't help."

"He's not missing anything. You get dirty and run around half naked." Leah said as Rachel and Kim looked at her with dead eyes.

"Yeah Lee, what little boy in their right mind wouldn't enjoy getting dirty, while running wild in a forest filled with friends and family?" Rachel said sarcastically as Leah threw a strawberry at her head and laughed. The conversation came to end as the three women stared out the door to see Jo Jo sitting on the steps looking at the forest waiting for his family to return. Emilys voice broke the silence as the women continued to look out at the little boy.

"Sam and I have decided to finally start trying…" Emily had remained silent the entire party and opted to stay as far away from Rose as she could possibly get. Now that the blonde was gone along with the rest of the Pack she had wanted some attention for once. She knew what she said was a lie considering that every time she had brought it up to Sam he conveniently had to patrol. Kim and Rachel gasped and congratulated her as the conversation changed quickly to the best way to conceive. Leah was smiling as she watched her cousin face light up with joy. She was still pissed at Sam for kissing her a few weeks back but she was glad that he had kept his distance since then and clearly pulled his head out of his ass.

"I'm happy to hear that Em, its about time he got over that stupid shit." Leah said coming around to make another plate of food for the evening. She smiled as she piled on the macaroni and cheese and added hot sauce she briefly looked up to see three sets of confused eyes staring at her as she stuffed her mouth with a buttered roll. "Wh-at?" she said around her mouth full.

"What shit?" Kim asked.

"He's terrified to be a dad." Leah said like it was common knowledge, with a shrug she added more food to her already growing plate.

Damn will these kids ever stop being hungry?!... Leah thought as she looked back up at her cousins face as it began to turn a deep red with anger. "What are you talking about? Sammy doesn't have a fear of being a dad." Laughing Leah sat down on the stool at the island and continued to feed her never satisfied babies as they kicked up a storm inside. "Sam has had that fear for as long as I could remember… He's afraid to be a shitty dad like his dad." Ignoring Emily, Leah picked up the pace of eating as the boys started to play soccer with her bladder and kidneys. The slamming of her back door had Leah glancing up at Rachel and Kim's shocked faces.

"What?" Leah asked.

"I don't think Sam ever told her…" Kim whispered as if Emily could hear them. Leahs frowned as her cousin took off towards her own house. With a huff, she stood up and headed out the door behind her pissed off cousin. When both ladies went to follow Leah held up a hand to stop them saying. "It's probably best we don't make a show of this. We'll be right back."

Emily wanted to cry out as she marched towards the path towards her house. How could Sam never tell me?! She thought as she kicked a rock. Her cheeks were burning with the tears of betrayal. She had thought it was her all this time, she thought he was still in love with Leah. Her pain was shaking her body as she picked up the pace.

"Emily wait!" Leah shouted trying to catch up to her cousin. Emily was walking quickly but with Leahs long legs she was gaining on her even in her pregnant state. They were deep in the woods on the path Jake had made for them when Leah first smelled the sickly sweet scent. Knowing it was either Rose or Emmett she ignored it and continued to shout at Emily. "Come on Em, how was I suppose to know that Sam hadn't said anything!"

"Leave me alone!" Emily yelled back.

"I can't! I'm sorry Em…" Leah said as the sickly sweet smell became stronger. She knew it wasn't Rose or Emmett as it became overpowering. "E- Em- Emily…"

"Just go away!" She snapped turning around to have Leah crash into her and cover her mouth with a trembling hand. "Stay quiet…" Leah whispered, something in her voice caused a chill to run up Emilys back. The sight of horror written all over Leahs face made the blood drain from her own as she looked out to the woods.

"Stay behind me…" Leah said as she pushed her defenseless cousin behind her back.

I just need to get us back to the house…

Please Taha Aki let us make it to the house…

Not wanting to lead them to the house with her sister-in-law and nephew. Leah pushed them toward Emilys house instead. Hoping against all odds that they can get to the phone fast enough to call Roses cellphone. The snapping of a twig made Leah's head spin around to be greeted with a pair of blood red eyes.

"What do you want?" Leahs voice was strong even as she was shaking in fear and her heart was pounding out of her chest.

"Well this is unexpected…" Warren smiled leaning against a tree with the coven jumping down from the canopy above.

"Leave now." Leah demanded with a growl.

Warren picked invisible lint from his collar as he addressed the very pregnant women in front of him. "Your alpha has taken something very precious to our leader and I've come to repay the favor."

"Sam…" Emily whispered trying to get a look at the monsters.

"Shhhh…" Leah hissed at her and started to back away. "As you can see he isn't here. You just missed him."

"We want the girl." Warren hissed back as he took a step forward. Leah felt the familiar tingle run down her spin as the sensation to Phase took over her body. Looking at the leader she knew she wasn't going to have a choice as he spoke his next words.

"Kill her, take the girl."

In a split second the world moved in slow motion as Leah shoved her cousin to the ground and prayed to all the gods to protect her children. The beast inside her ripped out of her flesh and she stood on all four growling and snarling at the coven of vampires as she stood over Emily and lay on top to protect her cousin...


Do you hate me? If not you will... Muahahahahahahahahahahahahahaha Now review to find out what happens NEXT! Does Leah live or die? How will the twins react to her phasing? Will Emily finally be EXed like we all want? Well I ain't telling sister, without some juicy reviews! Oh and if you hadn't noticed Jake is slowly changing... I think becoming a father has made him more defensive of his family especially his little wolves!
