The Newlywed Party

(Leah POV)

We entered the house. It was oddly decorated, with steamer and lopsided balloons, but only Billy and Sue were there at the moment. Hopefully, at least. I remembered, with a twinge of repulsion, all of the surprise party Mom had throw for me.

"Hey," Billy sounded sheepish. I narrowed my eyes at him.

"What's going on?" I demanded. Jacob chuckled.

"Still sharp as a tack!" he said and sat down next to Sue.

"Glad this pleases you," I frowned.

"The gang is coming over later, and Seth wanted it to be… festive," Billy rolled his eyes.
"Have you told him what we talked about?" Jacob demanded.

"No…" Sue frowned.

"Good," I sighed with relief. My revenge on Sam was still on.

"Why?" Billy sounded hopeful. He and Mom really wanted us together, didn't they?

"No reason," Jacob laughed.

"Hey, party time!" Quil yelled, bursting in through the door, followed by Sam, Embry, Seth, Paul, Rachel, and Emily.

"Hey, congratulations," Emily smiled at us.

"Thanks!" Jacob stood up and wrapped his arm around my waist. I noticed Sam raise his eyebrows. Good.

"So, what brought this on?" Paul asked.

"Belated imprinting we think," I laughed.

"Really? You two finally imprinted!" Embry beamed at us.

"Yeah!" I laughed.

"Isn't it awesome?" Seth beamed at us.

"You're telling me," Jacob smiled brightly. The party continued for a while, with Jake and me pretending to be imprinting. It was weird, trust me, but worth it to see the look on Sam's face. Did he expect me to be alone forever? Bella and Sam underestimated us. True, it was all a lie, but we were married, and somewhat happy, at least now. Jacob left my side for a mere minute, and Billy ambushed him when Sue got me. Stupid identical minds.

"Leah, what's going on?" Mom hissed.

"Just getting a drink," I held up a can of coke innocently.

"What's going on, Jake?" Billy asked.

"I'm doing the right thing, which I believe was recommended," Jacob chuckled.

"Are you and Jacob imprinting?" Sue demanded.

"Look, I'll talk to you later," I said sharply.

"What would the right thing be?" Billy asked.

"Not making Leah cry," Jacob replied, and returned to me. Did he count not making me cry as the right thing? That is it. What an idiot! I do not cry very often!

"Having fun?" Jacob murmured.

"Totally loving this," I beamed at him.

"Well, I'd better be going. I'm taking Claire to her first day of kindergarten tomorrow," Quil smiled.

"Have fun," Jacob rolled his eyes.

"You don't understand what its like," Quil insisted.

"And I won't," Jacob replied. Quil laughed.

"Got me there!" he smiled and left.

"We got to go too!" Rachel said, taking Paul out.

"Bye!" I smiled and nodded. Embry looked and Sam and Emily and shrugged.

"See you. I'm just leaving because otherwise I'll be left in this awkward situation," Embry said seriously, before taking off. Jacob and I laughed, and then turned to Sam and Emily. My chance to make him bleed was over, and I enjoyed it thoroughly. Jacob smiled.

"So, we might as well take off," Sam said. He still looked annoyed, and a little surprised.

"Yeah. It's so good to hear about you two," Emily smiled. I liked Emily. Too bad she was with Sam. She and I use to be good friends.

"Goodbye then," Jacob smiled. We followed them outside and watched them walk away.

"Love you, Jake," I said, when they were still in hearing distance.

"Prove it, babe," Jacob replied. I noticed Sam flinch at that. Good. He tilted his head a little over his shoulder to look at us, so I kissed Jacob. By the time we stopped, Sam and Emily were gone.

"Isn't it nice finally having that moment?" Jacob said.

"I need that," I smirked and where Sam had been.

"I know you did," Jacob sighed and we went back inside.
