"You ready for Claire's birthday celebration?" Leah asked as Embry started to wake up.

"Or is it a reception for Sam and Emily?" Embry played back.

"Could be… or could be congrats Emily is pregnant?" She teased back as he hugged her into him.

"Could be… or it could be congrats Embry on surviving vampire teeth?" Embry responded earning a sigh from Leah. She moved away from him. He sensed he took it too far. He sat up and his hands roamed the bed until he found her. She was sitting up on the edge of the bed looking out the window. He came behind her and gently kissed her neck. She relaxed into the kiss. Neither of them knew what they were at that point. They both had to focus on him healing before they tackled that subject. But now and then they would be very affectionate with each other.

"Lee… it was just a joke." He sighed into her neck. She turned sharply towards him.

"Seeing you withering in pain in my arms covered in your own blood wasn't a joke." Leah said sharply making him wince. She instantly regretted her words and could see the pain on his face.

"Touché Lee." He sighed laying back down.

"Embry…" She began to say. He turned away from her trying to go back to sleep.

"Baby…" She had started to say.

"Last time you called me that I was balls deep inside you in the shower." Embry smiled at the memory. Leah smiled at that lying next to him spooning him.

"Well in my defense I was getting fucked super hard." She laughed with him.

"God that angle with the water pouring down on you." Embry groaned. Leah laughed at that.

"You getting hard?" Leah whispered in his ear playing with him. Embry fiercely turned around and brought his mouth to hers. She felt like jello in his arms. He couldn't see her but he knew her body well enough to know where she was and could feel her against him. He began to feel her hips and her legs and found her core while they made out. Everything he had been through before had begun to melt away.

She gave into his body. She knew she should have stopped it. He was still emotionally not the same. She didn't want to complicate things. But the way he touched her… it was like nothing ever changed.

"You guys ready..? What the fuck!" Seth exclaimed entering the room. Embry laid back and growled in frustration while Leah laid there panting looking mortified.

"Seth knock next time." Embry growled at him sexually frustrated.

"Embry lock the door next time." Seth argued back. Embry turned to the direction of his voice and jumped out of bed.

"You guys ready?" Milo asked halting in his steps. If looks could kill Seth would be dead.

"Seth whatever you did just say sorry." Milo instructed.

"You can't phase anymore Embry." Seth reminded. Embry growled at him.

"No but I can still beat the shit out of you pup." Embry snarled. Leah got up behind Embry and kissed his back letting him know she was there. He instantly relaxed and held out his hand for her to lead him down stairs.

"What the fuck are you doing?" Seth mouthed at her.

"Nothing happened." She mouthed back glaring at him. They moved into the car with the rest of the family. Seth drove him and Milo. While Leah and Embry went with her parents.

"You know what I miss about seeing?" Embry laughed. They all looked at him in silence.

"It's driving because Leah's driving makes me so sick." He playfully gagged. Harry began to chuckle in response. They slowly arrived to their destination and Leah led Embry inside.

"Sam's house. Therefore pregnancy or marriage celebration." Embry smirked at her.

"How the fuck? You know shit based on what?" Leah asked astonished that he couldn't see yet could tell where he was walking without her.

"Smell of muffins gave it away." He smirked grabbing one from the counter. He then managed to walk over straight to Emily and hugged her into him. She started tearing up.

"Hey Em. No tears. Happy celebration." He smiled at her.

"I am sorry." She almost sobbed making people around look at her and him. He hugged her into him.

"Hey… look into my blind pretty eyes. I am okay. No need to be sorry." He smiled gently at her. Sam locked eyes with Leah. He knew the blind thing was hard for everyone. Embry could joke about it but Leah didn't like it.

"Also, Leah and Sam I'd appreciate it if you guys wouldn't secret message look at each other like that." Embry smiled hugging Emily's small frame into him.

"How the fuck?" Sam mouthed. Embry walked away going to talk to different people. Within an hour Leah left Embry alone seeing he was doing fine but she suddenly realized she couldn't see him.

"Anyone see Embry?" She started to ask people. Quill came up to her and grabbed her hand roughly leading her to the side of the house. Embry was sitting in the grass smoking a cigarette shaking. His face was slightly damp. He was shaking almost as if to phase but it was just his body freaking out.

"Told you not to get Lee." He barked at Quill. She sat down next to him looking up at Quill with questioning eyes. Quill mouthed "panic attack" towards her.

"Claire?" He suddenly jumped up to stand up. Sure enough Claire was standing behind Quill. She ran up to Embry and he hugged her with all of his might. They both began to sob as he embraced her. It had been the first time they had been together since the attack and when he woke up. Embry was not letting go of her which made Quill nod towards Leah for them to leave. Leah felt weird doing so.

"Guys give us a second please." Claire instructed pulling away from Embry and making him sit down with her. Leah and Quill hesitantly left and went back inside.

"Lee… it's just something only they can understand. We can try all day to understand but we didn't live through it. Even Emily was unconscious and could never understand it." Quill soothed hugging her into him.

"I just want to make it better." Leah mumbled looking down.

"You are. We both are. But we have to understand we can't fix 100% of the damage. They both have to figure that part out. We can only be here for them." Quill shrugged before hugging her again into him. Leah felt tears in her eyes but knew he was right.

"The pieces will fit but we can only be there and wait." Leah repeated.
