A/N: So I didn't really describe Leah's dress very well. I'd like to tell myself (so I feel better) that I left it out so you could imagine what I didn't describe or just blame Jacob for being a guy who only notices the body parts left out of the dress. But in all honesty it was a lazy moment that you readers didn't deserve. Anyways if you want to see what the dress looked like just go to my profile the link should be there :)

Ch36: I Command You
As they were getting closer to the Cullen's house she could feel Jake's worry increasing and it was making her agitated. "Jake stop that, I'm fine." She stopped walking so she could say it while looking at him.
"I know it's just—" He began sniffing. She was about to tell him to stop inhaling her scent but his eyebrows came together and he started shaking. "Something's wrong."
"What?" Leah began sniffing but she didn't really get much of anything.
"Vamps have been here, recently. Not the Cullen type of vamps either." He was holding her by her waist. "This smells foul. Like worse than they do." Jake scowled.
"So are we not going to the Cullen house or not?" she asked.
"Oh we're going just stay close to me babe, I can't think if anything happened to you." He kissed the top of her head before pulling her so close to his body that she felt like she was a part of him.
They reached the Cullen house. The cars that usually took up the driveway weren't there. Leah swallowed dryly as Jake knocked on the door. It almost looked as if they had packed up and left but Rosalie was pulling them into the house. She hugged Leah and Jake.
Leah never thought she would see the day a vampire would actually be hugging her. Minus Zane, he didn't count as a normal vampire. "I never thought I would actually be happy to see you." She stepped back, whistling. Emmett came from down the steps, along with Carlisle and Esme.
"Where's the rest of… uh your family?" Leah asked. Right now didn't seem like a good time to give nicknames to Bella or Edward. But the mood changer and Alice were missing too, and unless they were hunting or vacationing that couldn't be good.
"Alice and Jasper left to find and stop Edward. The Volturi took Bella." Esme eyes were glassy once again.
"I just can't catch a fucking break with that girl!" Jake's hand that was on Leah's waist became a tight fist. If he didn't let go he would end up accidently ripping her shorts off. "Why?" he asked loosening his grip after Leah pinched him.
"She hadn't been changed yet, and asked to be taken." Rosalie said bitterly.
"Rose we don't know if that's how it happened." Emmett spoke softly in Rosalie's ear.
"To hell we don't!" Rosalie balled up her fist. "I'm sure of it. She kept demanding to be changed and after losing—" Rosalie cut herself off everyone in the room already knew what she meant anyway. "Edward wasn't ready to change her until she stopped changing her mind on whether she wanted it or not, she was pretty delusional too."
"Isn't Alice supposed to see all of this before it happens?" Jake anger was growing and Leah was sure she was going to be angry too, if someone didn't try to calm him down.
"They used Alice's blind spots, to get to Bella. Alice can only see so much and if they keep changing their mind the future continually changes." Carlisle stated.
"Hm, so what the hell are we supposed to do? This isn't why I came here today." Leah put her hand over her forehead and moved away from Jake. He really needed to calm down. She wasn't feeling very good anymore. It seemed whatever answer they gave them went completely over Leah's head. It was as if everything was moving in slow motion. Jake looked over at her and his anger simmered and he looked worriedly over at her.
She was suddenly feeling very nauseous and the room was spinning too. Her heart beat felt like it was going a million miles a second. It took a minute before Jake came over to her and asked something she couldn't understand before everything calmly went black.
Jake's day just seemed to be getting worse as time went along and he had no idea why. What had started out as a really good day yesterday, to a sort of okay interrogating morning, became his worse nightmare. Leah was lying in the same bed that Bella had been in a few days before. His mark didn't throb painfully so it couldn't be that bad, could it?
She still looked perfectly fine, but she hadn't woken up from her fainting spell or what ever the hell it was yet. Carlisle kicked him out the room politely saying he couldn't work around Jake sitting there holding her hand or his anger. Whenever Carlisle stuck her with a needle it kept breaking before he could break her skin.
Jake would get upset and Emmett was getting tired of pulling him back. Emmett was worried about his brother running off and doing something stupid because of Bella. It seemed like Jake could never have Bella fully leave his system. She kept coming back up. He didn't care that much really but she was still human and that's what he was there for, to protect humans. The question seemed to be, how could you protect something that actually went to the danger all on their own? She wanted to be changed. She wanted to die when she jumped off the cliff that day. She wanted to be with Edward. None of this was Jake's concern.
Jake was standing in the long huge hallway that was bigger than his bedroom, on the floor across from Emmett who was watching him.
"What happens if Edward doesn't come back with Alice and Jasper?" Jake decided to get his mind off Leah for a bit before he went insane with worry. When she woke up she wouldn't want him to be like that. She would probably slap the shit out of him, he smiled a bit. It seemed like something she would do.
Emmett shrugged. " I really don't know. When we thought he found his reason for existing, we were expecting some difficulty but we didn't expect this much."
"Honestly we should let the Volturi keep her. I just want my brother back." Rosalie had appeared out one of the closed bedroom doors and sat next to Emmett.
"How Edward feels about her is how you felt about me before I was changed Rose. Think about it." Emmett laid his head in her lap and she began playing in his curls. Jake never saw Rosalie do much but snarl at himself and make insults but they looked really human with how they were acting. It reminded Jake of Leah and himself.
"I don't understand why, she's impossible to even try to understand. I kept trying to find reasons to like her. But there is absolutely. Nothing." she sullenly said.
Carlisle stuck his head out the door. "Jake you might want to get back in here."
Jake used his hands to get off the floor, he walked in the room and shut the door behind himself. Even though he knew everyone in the house could still hear them if they wanted.
"So she's alright, right?" Jake asked looking at her.
She was up now chewing on what looked like her fifth chewy granola bar based on the ripped wrappers next to her. He walked over to her and kissed her forehead. She didn't say anything but grabbed his free hand as they waited for what Carlisle was about to tell them.
"Leah here, seems to be four weeks along." Carlisle said looking at his equipment.
Leah dropped the rest of her chewy granola bar on her chest. "But I... that's impossible... what the...no." she shook her head. "Don't play with me." she glared at Carlisle.
"Leah babe I don't think he would be playing with you." Jake squeezed her hand and kissed the side of her face. He was excited. His heart had grown for her two sizes.
"Zane. Zane was his name right?" Carlisle asked and Leah nodded. "Well the other part of the mix that I found along with making you very fertile. Was his venom."
Leah gasped . "Shouldn't I be dead then?" Jake tried to ignore that tidbit.
"It was such a small dose, tinier than a grain of sugar, it was so small had I not disected it all I would have missed it. It was probably the only reason you became fertile again." Carlisle patted her arm on the other side of her.
"It was also the reason I couldn't phase for the longest time..." Leah thought out loud. "Fuck. But until the fainting dizzy episode I had, I haven't shown any symptoms."
"No pregnancy is the same and it is still pretty early that might come or it might not. Some women are lucky enough to not show any symptoms. Some find it unlucky and might not even know until it's too late. We caught yours early." Carlisle smiled even though it didn't reach his eyes.
Leah touched her flat stomach looking down in amazement. "Jake we're pregnant."
"That we are." Jake smiled placing his hand on top of hers.
"Oh no. Does that mean I'll have a litter? How am I going to tell my mom? or Seth? He's going to kill you, you know?" Leah raised her hands to her cheeks. Jake wanted to kiss her to make her feel better.
"I'll die a happy man then." Jake joked but she wasn't smiling, she let her hand fall back by her side.
"My family will be here for another year before we have to move on, so you can use me as your doctor. I'm pretty sure you don't want to go to the hospital right?" Carlisle asked and Leah shook her head. "I'll need to see you every two weeks. And we'll do a ultrasound next time to make sure everything is still in the clear. In the meantime I suggest you lay off phasing and keep your stress down."
"Ha! Stress? That's a hard one in the world I live in." Leah snorted.
"I'll keep an eye on her." Jake said seriously.
"Oh no, I don't like the sound of that." Leah moaned. "He'll be worse than my brother and I won't be able to do anything." she whined. "Can we leave?"
Jake laughed, she walked her self into that one, and she knew it.
"Yes you can leave. Make sure you pick up prenatal vitamins at the pharmacy. I don't know how everything will work with you because this baby will have strong wolf genes but it's better to be safe than sorry." Carlisle said as Leah tried to get up.
She dropped the granola bar to the floor as she stood, Jake picked it up and threw it in the waste basket by the night stand and shook Carlisle's hand. "I'll see if I can find anything dealing with Edward and Bella."
Carlisle nodded. Jake was pulled to the now open door by Leah. Rosalie and Emmett weren't sitting by the door any longer.
He walked them down the steps as Alice and Jasper came into the house, along with Emmett carrying Edward. Edward almost looked comatose. Emmett sat him on the couch as Leah and Jake finished walking down the steps.
"He's been like that since we found him at the airport." Alice said softly to Rosalie. "And that's with Jazz using his powers to calm him down."
Jake pulled Leah over to where they were by the kitchen. "What's going on?" Jake asked noticing that Carlisle came downstairs trying to talk to Edward along with Esme and Emmett. Alice glanced over at the couch at Edward and then moved her eyes outside. So Jake, Leah and Rosalie followed Alice outside, far enough that Edward wouldn't be able to hear them speak.
"Sorry but whenever I think it, or talk about it he gets worse than he is now." Alice was still talking in soft tones. "She's still in Washington, the sun is preventing them from leaving. But from the changing visions I've seen so far, they find a reason to change her here or they leave her dead in an alley and the last one is blank because you guys get involved. But you haven't made up your mind yet so it shows the other two options more."
Jake felt like slamming his head against a tree if Leah wasn't next to him like his lifesaver he would have drowned a long time ago. "If we help you don't know the outcome?"
"No." Alice shook her head. "But it must be good because Bella's future comes back when you guys are involved."
"Leah help me here." Jake looked to his partner in crime.
"As much as I really don't like her, she's human Jake. If Charlie loses her, it'll affect my mom too. It'll be like losing my dad all over again if my mom closes up on me and I need her now more than ever. As selfish as that sounds... so maybe you should ask Seth and Em." Leah said honestly.
That was one of the reasons Jake loved her, she was always honest with him even when he really wished she wasn't, "I'm in." Jake said.
"Me too." Leah said squeezing his hand.
"No." Jake snarled trying his best to not use the Alpha command.
"Black..." she looked at him warningly.
"Clearwater." Jake looked back at her shaking his head. "No."
"We don't have the time. Had I not came here today you would have let me go." Leah frowned.
"But we did come here today so get that out your head. I'm not letting you get hurt." he looked at Leah.
She growled lowly at him. "You can't tell me what to do."
"You have a cell phone?" Jake ignored her, asking Alice.
Alice handed over her cell phone and Jake dialed Embry's number, he answered on the second ring, Jake spoke immediately. "I need you, Seth, Paul, Sam, and Jared at the Cullen's right now and have all the imprints at the Clearwaters." he pressed end before the questions came. He handed the cell back to Alice and turned his attention to Leah, he knew she was going to be angry, he just hoped she would forgive him. He looked into her eyes, grabbing hold of her other hand. "Leah I love you. But..." he took a heavy breath before putting the force he needed behind his words. "I command you to stay at your house with the imprints until we come back and don't do anything stupid." He really hoped this was his first and last time doing that.
