Chapter 14: Guess Who's Coming to Dinner

-()-

Leah snarled, breaking up the three people on the couch, "Get your ancient mitts off my baby brother," Alice had her arm around her back, and another on her arm; just in case Leah decided to lunge.

"Hi, Leah," Seth said in a small sheepish voice.

"Hi? that's all you have to say is 'hi', what is going on Seth?"

"I imprinted on Emmett two days ago, and we were alone in the house, and I mean look at them," he gestured to Emmett and Rosalie, the former looked nervous, the latter looked smug.

"That's it then you two just accepted this."

"Well we've always been more open to other people, it always is another vampire though," this came from Rosalie. She had placed a hand on Emmett's the one holding Seth's. Alice had pulled away, either sensing that Leah was calm or out of awkwardness Leah couldn't tell.

Leah took a moment to look at the three people on the couch, and for one selfish moment she felt envy, that the brother she loved so much, had gotten what she needed so easily. Seth must have seen something on her face because he looked so guilty.

"C'mere," Leah said, as she held her arms out to her brother letting go of the bitter jealousy, and being happy for her brother. He rushed to her arms, and she wrapped him up tightly. Then she glared at Emmett, and Rosalie on the couch, "This is my baby brother, who is still underage, and I love him. If you two so much as look at him in a flirty fashion with me in the room I will find some way to break one of your limbs, ya got it."

"Hate to break it to you tiny gray, but we've already been flirting with him, if the little display you saw was any indication," Emmett said, leaning back onto the chair, and pulling Rosalie to him. Leah snarled at him, and snapped her teeth, and pulled Seth closer. Then she released Seth reluctantly. Rosalie held out her hand for Seth to come back over to them. He did, and sat on Emmett's other side, and he took their hands again. Leah sat on the chair, and sighed heavily. Alice draped herself across Leah's lap. Mostly to keep her from making Seth move, and because she wanted to be close to her. Things settled tensely for a moment before Leah asked, "Have you told mom, or Sam?"

"No I was going to tomorrow, well mom at least. I don't think Sam is a good idea. I'm not as fast as you," the implications of the last statement left everyone growling deep in their throats. Then Jasper came down the stairs. He dropped a kiss on Alice's head, and nodded at Leah. she nodded back; securing Alice more firmly to her. Then Esme and Carlisle came into the room, they'd been hunting apparently.

"Oh good I'm assuming you've told Leah Seth, now I think to tell your mother you could invite your mother here for dinner, I mean after all you will both be with us. I want to reassure her about both of your safeties," Esme said, taking the chair Carlisle was offering.

"You guys want to have my mother over for dinner?" Leah said, she feels horrific anxiety at this, she's not even sure why her mother and the Cullens are very agreeable. Just the idea of her mother in the house meeting her significant other...and said significant other's spouse. While her brother did the same. Made her knees feel weak, "Oh look at that, my poor baby is in shock," Alice said leaning forward to kiss Leah's temple.

Seth gave Esme his thanks, and a thank you on Leah's behalf, "Can our cousin come too," Leah finally found her voice.

"Of course my dear The more the merrier. Please let me know when they can come over."

"Thanks Esme."

"Of course my dears," by then the sun had set and it was beginning to get late. Leah scooped Alice up, and stood from the chair.

"Oh well isn't this nice," Alice said looking at Leah.

"Yup wolf superior strength, I am going to sleep, Seth you should too, in your own room."

"Yes Warden," Seth said, sticking out his tongue.

"Mush pup take me to my room," Alice teased.

Leah smirked at her mischievously, and unceremoniously plopped her back into the chair, that Leah vacated. Alice yelped as she landed onto the chair. Leah bagan to walk away when she felt a cool weight on her back, "Where do you think you're going," Alice said, from her perch on her back. Leah huffed out a laugh, and pulled ALice over her shoulder. Emmett was guffawing from the couch, and Jasper was chuckling on the couch quietly. Leah felt the happiness creep up on her, and fill her with warmth, and it was so achingly unfamiliar that it took her breath away for a fraction of a second. Then she hoisted Alice higher on her shoulder while she squeaked to be put down. Leah placed her on her feet, and she was smiling up at Leah with so much mirth in her eyes, "Goodnight Leah Clearwater."

"Goodnight Alice Cullen," she leaned down and gave her a small peck on the cheek. Once again nodded to the rest of the Cullen clan, and went to bed.

It was four days before Leah and Seth's mother could come over for dinner along with Emily. Which according to Emily Sam was being pissy about it. Leah was nervously excited about having all of her family under one roof. The fact that the Cullens were her family made her smile. She thankfully hadn't caught Emmett and Rosalie doing anything untoward with Seth. though the perimeter runs get kinda awkward when they discuss their love lives. Especially when he gets sidetracked thinking about Rosalie's hair or Emmett's arms.

The day of the dinner Leah had to go to work that morning. She was currently losing the will to live as the man in front of her went on and on about the different materials of tents, and which one is better. Then he asked, "So do you like to camp," he asked, his smile was smarmy.

"No actually I'm deathly allergic to um nature."

"Oh that's too bad, what about dinner maybe we could grab some?" he looked hopeful, and Leah was annoyed.

"I'm kind of seeing someone, so no."

"Kind of? does that mean there's room to play," then he leaned forward.

"It really doesn't," Leah heard Alice say as she slipped her hand into Leah's, "Hello sweetie, I came to pick you up from work. Your mom is already at the house, and my mom thinks she is lovely. They called me to come get you, I haven't even met her yet." The man is looking bewildered as he gazed at the two women.

"I'll be right there babe. Sir which tent were you going to purchase?"

"That one he faintly whispered," Leah reached up, and grabbed it for him. She quickly got him rang up, and locked up the store. She walked over to Alice as the guy was loading up his truck. Looking like he had swallowed his own tongue. Alice was cackling all the while.

When they pulled up to the driveway Alice sped over to Leah and gently pinned her to the car, "I wasn't going to kiss you in front of that neanderthal," then she leaned forward, and pressed her lips to Leah's, who sighed happily and leaned down to fully kiss her girlfriend. Their tongues tangled together languidly, and both women felt warmth pool low in their belly. Then they heard, "Hey if my boyfriend can't kiss me Alice can't maul you."

"Seth you're such a little shit."

"No now don't cuss in front of your mother," Sue said coming out of the house as well. She hugged her daughter tightly for a moment, "Alice It's nice to meet you officially," she held out her hand for Alice to shake. Alice took it and smiled up at Leah's mother.

"Mrs. Clearwater, I'm so glad to finally meet you, I see where Leah has your lovely smile."

That earned Alice a smile from Sue, "Well aren't you a little charmer. Now Emily is in the kitchen with Esme, who by the way is wonderful, lets go inside," as they reach the door Leah's mother mentions That Jacob was back. He had been missing since the wedding. Leah was wondering how he would feel about the Cullens once he found out about Seth and Leah. If he still wanted to kill Edward with his own teeth. She squashed that thought and just focused on her mother.

They enter the house, and the smell of Emily's lasagna wafts through the house. Esme came out of the kitchen wearing an apron. She was smiling brightly, "Leah, good your home Emily is in the kitchen, adn she's showing me how to make her lasagna. Apparently it's one of Seth's favorites."

"It is. She uses an illegal amount of oregano," Leah said going into the kitchen Alice's hand still firmly in her hers, "Mom how are you?"

"I'm good, Charlie and I went to the movies last night. He says hello by the way. He also asked me to check up on Bella, is she still breathing," There was a slight edge to her tone, and all the vampires ducked their heads.

"Yes, I believe she is willing to wait a little longer before being turned."

"Well good. Now what brought up this gathering of sorts."

"Well I wanted to meet you and reassure you of your children's safety with us. As a mother I'm sure you were worried that your children were spending so much time with people you don't know. I would be, and my children are pretty sturdy."

Sue smiled at Esme for a moment, "Thank you, now did Seth mention something about having a boyfriend?"

"Oh yea um, mom I imprinted on Emmett last week, him, Rosie and I are going to be together."

"I see, and you and Alice and Jasper as well, Leah?"

"Well me and Alice are together, and she's still with Jasper, but I'm not sure where he and I stand just yet, we are figuring it out. You're taking awfully well mom."

"Well you're my babies, and it's not like you can help who you love especially because of the imprinting."

Leah hugged her mom again, and Seth rushed them too holding them both so tightly. Then they turned and saw Emily also in an apron, "Hey Em, how've you been?" she was so happy she could be here without Sam.

"I'm doing fine. This kitchen is amazing. I might move in too."

"Sam would love that," Leah said with a small chuckle.

"He would be so thrilled about today he wanted to come with me. I told him no."

"Thanks cuz."

"Yes thank you if he came here I don't think I could keep Rosie from killing him," Seth said as the vampire came into the room. She kissed the back of Seth's head, and snorted derisively.

"No offense, but he isn't welcome here unless he apologizes to Leah," Rosalie said, "You can stay though."

"Thank you as always your so gracious Rosalie," Leah said with sarcasm.

"Don't you forget it," Rosalie said with a playful snap of her perfect teeth. Emmett came into the room too planting a kiss on Seth's head, and pecking Rosalie on the lips.

"Dinner's almost ready for those not on a liquid diet," Emily said checking on her stuff in the oven, "Esme thank you for letting me show you my recipe, and letting you use your awesome kitchen."

"Anytime my dear I enjoyed cooking when I was human. I get to do it more now that I've got these two."

"Well since Bella might get to keep her lovely complexion does this mean you won't be relocating for a while."

"Actually we were going to stay," Rosalie said, "At least until Seth decided on colleges," she ran her fingers through his hair, and he looked at her like she was hanging up the moon just for him.

"Alice and I were also going to talk to you, and were wondering if you would like to stay for awhile darlin'," Jasper said, placing his hand on the small of Alice's back, and the other hand on Leah's shoulder.

"I'd like that."

Then Alice gasped, and lurched away from both of them grasping her head. They both stood up, and reached out for her. Just as her phone rang….
