13 Epilogue
Neal's point of view
We never reached Argentina; we got lost somewhere around Mexico and then we decided to go back; it was the best adventure of my life anyway. We started dating after that and even if we lived in different reservations, I think it worked out pretty well. Running from La Push to Neah Bay took us less than an hour running in our wolf form, so distance wasn't a problem.
Our love was strong enough to keep us together for a year; you read right; a stupid fight about something I don't even remember, ended with everything. We both have very strong temperaments and we don't always agree; sometimes I think that destiny used the imprint bond just to keep us together; without it, we were a mess. We couldn't keep away from each other for more than a week, then I asked her to be my girlfriend again and she accepted.
One year after that, the Cullens decided it was time to leave Forks and Jacob followed them. That meant that Leah was the new alpha of her pack and let's just say that I didn't like the idea. We weren't able to see each other so often because we both had responsibilities with our packs. I got bored with the whole situation and I dumped her. Three days later I found her in my bedroom asking me to be her boyfriend again and I said yes.
Two years after that, the Volturi sent Demetri to La Push with a new present for Leah. When she told me, I was so pissed off that I started screaming at her, one thing lead to another and we broke up again. The next day, I went to her house to return her some things of hers; it went something like this:
"Leah! Open up, I know you are there," I said knocking the door.
"Stop doing that! You are going to kick the door down!" she said opening her front door. "What do you want?"
"I brought your stuff back."
"You could have just sent them to me," she said angrily taking the box. "Anything else?" she asked irritated when she saw me staring at her. "I don't have all day Neal, what do you want?"
"You."
"Very funny."
"I am not joking."
"Oh really, because that wasn't what you said yesterday!" she yelled angrily.
"You look so cute when you are mad at me."
"Shut up! Now leave me alone!" she said before shutting the door in my face.
I am so use to that now, that I didn't even care and I knocked again.
"What?"
"I…"
"If you are not going to say anything then leave!"
"You don't even let me talk!"
"You are so annoying!"
"You are always frustrated!"
"Jerk!"
"Witch!"
"Cocky!"
"Manipulator!"
"Selfish!"
"Arrogant!"
"Immature!"
"Stubborn!"
"Self centered!"
"Drama queen!"
"Loser!"
"Pretentious!"
"Moron!"
"Dumb!"
"Irritating!"
"Marry me."
"Fool! What?"
Her shock face was priceless. I knelt and I took out a little box from my pants.
"You heard me," I said opening the little box revealing a beautiful ring. "Leah Clearwater, you are the more gorgeous, intelligent, brave and stubborn woman I have ever met, I can't live without you, will you marry me?"
She was petrified; she hasn't even blink from the moment I started to propose. I am not sure if she is even breathing or not.
"Leah?"
Suddenly the box with her things crashed against the floor and she jumped over me.
"Yes! Yes! And a hundred time yes!"
Three months later, we married in a modest ceremony and Leah moved with me to Neah Bay. We bought a little house in the reservation and we started a new life together.
Leah's point of view
Leaving La Push was more difficult than I thought. I left my home, my family, my friends and my pack, but I don't regret it, Neal makes sure that every moment that we spent together is special. I don't know what would I do without him, sure, we fight all the time and we scream a lot to each other, but I need him and I love him more than anything else in the world.
When the Volturi knew that I was going to marry an Alpha shape shifter, they sent Demetri and his teammates again. Neal was furious, he almost cut his head off, why? He thinks that vampire has a huge crush on me, yeah right, like if I would chose a vampire to be my lover, ugh. Anyway, the only reason why Neal didn't get to kill Demetri, was because he had some very important new to tell us. Apparently, me marrying a werewolf was the most amazing thing that Aro could have ever expected; he was so happy about our relationship that he sent us all sort of gifts and he promised that our new family was going to be under his personal protection. I didn't understand at first, but according to Edward, Aro thinks that my female descendants are going to have more probabilities of turning into wolves than normal Quileute girls, or something like that. I think he doesn't know that I can't have kids, but there is no point of telling him that, right?
After moving on with Neal, I decided to stop shifting; his pack had already fifteen wolves in it and I liked the idea of finding a job, so that's what I did. Two years after that, I was cleaning the house when I started to feel bad, when I reached the bathroom I found a huge surprise; my period was back. Neal decided to arrive early that day, and when he smelled the scent of my blood in the air, he totally lost it. It took me more than an hour to calm him down and explained everything to him.
Neal always acts paranoid with things like that. For example, two years after becoming Miss White and one month after my period was back, Neal and I were walking around the forest talking about random things.
"I just can't believe Richard imprinted my sister!" Neal said exasperated. "From all the girls in the reservation, why my sister? Why?"
"Oh come on, is not that bad," I said trying to calm him down. "Look the good side, now she is going to stop dating those idiot guys you hate."
"But he is Richard!"
"So?"
"So? Leah he is part of my pack, I don't want to see his thoughts about my sister, this is sick!"
"But they have been watching your dirty thoughts about me for two years."
"I don't have dirty thoughts about you," he said putting his arm around my waste while we kept walking. "They are all nice and innocent thoughts about you," he assured me kissing my forehead.
"Yeah right."
"They are! You don't believe me? I am hurt," he said and I laughed at him. "What can I do to prove you wrong?"
"Maybe you could paint the room that's at the end of the corridor," I proposed.
"That is going to prove that I am right?" he asked confused.
"No, but we need to paint it soon."
"Why the rush?"
"Neal I am pregnant."
Silence, a very long silence. I was afraid that this was going to happen, Neal is such an unpredictable person that I still don't know how on earth he is going to react with this kind of news.
"You are pregnant?" he finally asked.
We had stopped walking and we were looking at each other. He looks confuse, agitated and perplex. I didn't know what to do, so I just nodded.
"You are pregnant," he said out loud, like if he was trying to convince himself that this was true. "You are pregnant."
"Yes Neal, I am pregnant," I said starting to loose my patience, did he consider this a bad thing?
"So… we are going to be parents?"
"Well honey, technically we are parents now," I said taking his hands in mine. "Neal are you ok? Is this… are you angry?"
"Angry? No, no, of course not!" he assured me trapping me in his arms. "Leah I am delighted with the news, really! Is just that… that…"
"What?"
"I don't think I am ready to be a parent, I mean… what if he doesn't love me?" he asked me worriedly; he is so cute!
"Oh Neal!" I smiled at him and gave him a quick kiss on the lips. "They are twins, I am sure that at least one of them is going to love you."
"Twins?"
That's when he fainted. I couldn't believe it at first; my husband can fight against ten vampires all by himself without hesitation, but as soon as he knows he is going to be a father he faints! And then they say women are complicated.
Dean and Lucy were born nine months later without complications or any kind of phenomenal events. On the contrary of what Neal expected, he turned out to be an excellent father, a little overprotective, but a great parent for our kids. I can't ask for more, they are the light in my life and I know I wouldn't change my family for anything in the world.
Neal's point of view
I was sitting in the living room trying to read the newspaper while I kept an eye on the twins; they have two years now and they can run as fast as a teenager, if it wasn't for Leah's education, they would have destroy the house months ago.
"So, I was looking at some paint samples."
I turned around to look at my wife, who by the way is pregnant again, it's been three months since she told me and she already has a big tummy; she looks very cute, I must say.
"No," I said before she could say something else and I turned around again to continue reading.
Some time ago, when we decided to paint the room for the twins, we couldn't decide what color to use, one thing lead to another and we ended having a paint war. Watching my wife covered in blue and pink paint was kind of sexy, but having to redecorate almost all the house again gave me huge migraine, so no, there is no way we are doing that again.
"Maybe we could paint it green."
"I said no."
"Or beige."
"Leah…"
"Hey kids would you like to paint the room for your new brother?" she asked sweetly.
I looked at my sun and daughter and tried to picture them with brushes and cans of green paint, the result? Considering they are ten times more hyperactive than any kid in the world…
"Not in a million years," I said standing up and crossing my arms. "I am doing it," I decided while I walked away to start to look for the things I needed.
"Wait! I want to help you!" Leah said enthusiastically walking behind me.
"Absolutely not."
"But I want to spent some time with you," she said making a sad puppy dog face and hugging me tight.
"That trick doesn't work with me, not anymore."
"Oh well, I have other tricks under my sleeve," she said before kissing me passionately.
Ok, maybe if she had continue she would have convinced me, but when our kids starting to complain about how disgusting watching our kiss was, Leah stepped back quickly and I started to laugh.
"Prepare yourself kids, your mother is going to take you to the park," I told them and they exclaimed of happiness before running upstairs.
Leah on the other hand, stared at me like if she was trying to kill me with hear eyes. Taking them away was going to give me enough time to finish the work by myself, score for me.
"You are so evil with me," she said crossing her arms.
"You know I love you," I said leaning my forehead against hers.
"I love you too," she whispered before we started kissing again.
This is the kind of moments when I know everything is going to be okay. I am going to spend the rest of my life with Leah, watching our kids grow, and nothing is going to impede that; not vampires, not destiny, not pride. Sure, there are going to be problems and stupid fights between us, but overcoming that together is what love is about, right?
