Book 1 – Weakness & Strength

Leah Clearwater

Chapter 7 – Bad Smell

I was too happy to realise that the man had thought Sam was my husband, I only noticed that when he asked Sam to sign a paper and called him Mr. Black.

"My husband isn't here." I said quickly.

"Oh…I thought…"

"It's fine, Mr. Grant…what do I need to sign?" I asked pulling the paper from his hands.

"It's just a notification stating that you assume all responsibilities about Harrison's accidentally boarding on one of the ships."

My son was missing and this guy was only thinking about his career. Stupid asshole. I saw Sam, Rosalie and Emmett clenching their fists but none of them said a word.

"Where's my son, Mr. Grant?" My voice sounded a bit cold but what was he expecting? A six year old child was missing and he was trying to bail out of the responsibilities. Of course that I knew the man wasn't responsible for anything because Edward was a vampire and he would be able to run over the Harbour's security easily.

"He was on board of the cruise Spotlight. We received a memo last night saying that they had an intruder on board but since they were already outside our jurisdiction we couldn't do anything."

"And where is the cruise now?" I insisted.

"On its way to Russia but they left Harrison in Anchorage. He's staying at the Hospital. I confirmed."

I turned my back on the man and left quickly, putting the paper on the garbage on my way out. I heard Rosalie and Esme telling him I wouldn't press charges against the lack of security in the Juneau Harbour's docks and ten minutes later we were all reunited outside the Harbour. I told everyone that we had finally found Harry and I heard many sighs of relief.

"You can go home." I said to Sam and his pack and also to Embry and Quil. "Go to your families and please tell my mother that everything is fine. Seth and I will handle it from here."

Embry and Quil tried to argue with me but I knew Embry wanted to be with Becca and David and Quil was missing Claire. It had been three long days.

"Call us as soon as you find him, alright?" Quil asked.

"I will…and thank you all for this. I'll never forget it."

I watched as my pack brothers and Sam's pack phase and one by one they left Juneau behind to go back to La Push. The large black wolf was the last one to leave and he took a few seconds to look at me. I nodded, encouraging him to go and Sam finally went home.

The rest of us got into Rosalie's car again and left to the airport. Esme took care of the tickets and after two hours we were landing in Anchorage. I could hardly wait to have my son back in my arms.

Providence Alaska Medical Centre, the largest Hospital in Alaska, was damn crowded. We had to ask several nurses for a little boy named Harrison Black and incredibly only in our third attempt we managed to have a straight answer. He was in building C, room number eighty three.

We basically rushed over people to get to the right place as soon as possible. I could feel his scent closer every time I took a step forward and then I saw him, lying down on a huge bed, watching TV, holding the flashlight that Edward had given him.

"Mummy?" He asked when he spotted me at the doorframe.

"Yeah, baby…it's me."

I ran up to him and hugged my son tightly. Then I showered him with kisses. He started to cry and I looked into his chocolate brown eyes. Jacob's eyes.

"It's alright baby. Mummy is here." I wiped his tears away. "Mummy is never going to leave you again."

"I was scared."

"I know. But I'm here now and I'm going to take you home."

"I missed you mum."

It was my turn to cry then. I couldn't help it. I had almost lost all hope while we searched area after area and Harry's scent had vanished completely. My tears were from happiness but I knew this nightmare wasn't over yet.

We only left Anchorage two days later. Harry was being psychologically evaluated because the doctors thought he was still in shock. My son's version of what happened to him wasn't, despite what the doctors were thinking, a made up story caused by his traumatic experience. Harry was telling the truth but fortunately for us his story didn't make any sense. He had to be medicated and the doctors had a long talk with me to explain the kind of trauma that harry was going through.

In the meantime Jacob had called to say he was staying at a small hotel in Volterra with the Cullens and they were thinking about all the possibilities to form a good rescue plan. Edward and William would arrive in Volterra in two days so they still had a little time.

When I told him Harry was fine and we were going back home I almost swore Jacob had started crying. I heard everyone in the room celebrating and then I gave the phone to Harry so he could speak to his father. Jacob promised he would come home soon but I sensed the hesitation in his voice.

Just before we arrived in La Push I prepared myself for the task ahead. I had to talk to the Council and tell them the whole story but first, Embry and Quil had organised a small welcoming party for Harry at Billy's place.

The two packs were there. Embry with Rebecca and David; Sam with my cousin and their children, seven year-old Ella and two year-old Levi; Paul with Rachel and their kids, James and Daniel; Jared with Kim and their son Jeremiah; Quil was there too and he kept a distance from an eleven year old Claire to respect her parents wishes. Brady, Collin, Clayton, Shane, Martin, Justin, Sullivan and Denis were also there telling jokes and trying to have some fun.

We all gathered at the back of the house, where they had set a huge table. Harry was the guest of honour and he was quite happy to be home with his cousins and friends. Because Sam was the only alpha in La Push at the moment, the Cullens had to ask his permission to be at the small party. Sam agreed.

Rosalie, Emmett and Esme stayed close to Harry, as much as we allowed them too. I knew they were just trying to make up for what had happened in Mount Sima. I guess they also blamed themselves.

My mother, Charlie and Billy knew something was wrong as soon as they saw us arriving in Rosalie's red Mercedes. Jacob and William's absence was immediately noted but no one asked questions not to ruin Harry's party. I knew that, except for Claire, everyone knew what was going on.

When the sun began to disappear in the horizon we decided it was time to go home. I asked my mother and Billy to get Old Quil and go to our house. Sam took his family home and then he joined me and Seth at my place.

I went to put Harry in his bed and returned to the living room to start the meeting. I also asked the Cullens to stay.

Seth explained everything that had happened and my mother was completely horrified to know that Harry had been in Alaska on his own for almost three days. She didn't blame anyone though, which was good because I couldn't really cope with that right now.

"So Jake's in Italy with the others?" Billy asked.

"Yes. We believe nothing bad will happen." Esme referred. "But we would like to prevent Aro from taking an interest in William."

"How did William get this…power…telekinesis?" My mother asked. "We never saw any signs of special abilities."

"That's because no one ever thought it would be possible. Carlisle was very surprised too." Esme explained.

"Will they be able to rescue William?" Old Quil asked.

No one spoke for a while.

"They will try." Rosalie replied. "I trust Carlisle and my brothers and sisters. They'll do everything in their power to bring him home."

"I'm sure Jacob will keep his promise. He'll come home with William as soon as possible." I said.

"I want to be informed as soon as you get more details." Old Quil announced.

I nodded in agreement.

"If they need assistance, just ask." Sam said.

"Thank you."

The Cullens left to their mansion shortly after the end of the meeting. Sam took Old Quil home and Charlie and my mother took Billy.

Seth and I were finally alone in the house.

"It wasn't so bad." He said with a sigh. "I really thought mum would throw a fit."

"Me too." I agreed.

"I'm going to take a few days off in case we have to go to Italy. Quil and Embry already spoke with their bosses too."

"Seth…you don't have to do that. This internship is really important. You can go back to work."

"Family is more important. I'm not abandoning my nephew, especially when this is all my fault."

"No, it's not. Stop saying that."

"You trusted me to take care of them…I'm even worse than Paul."

"You had an emergency, you were saving people. Paul was sleeping…A fucking nuclear bomb could've exploded in the house and he wouldn't even notice it."

"For some reason, that doesn't make me feel better. I let you down Leah…You're my sister and I screwed up."

"You never let me down, Seth." I approached my brother and hugged him tightly and for a couple of minutes his warmth made me think that everything would be fine.

"I'm going to the kitchen. What do you want for dinner?" I asked.

"Whatever you want to cook."

I needed a distraction and to cook always made me relax for a while. That night I slept with Harry. I needed to feel that he was finally there with me, in safety. I spend almost the whole night watching my son sleep. He looked so much like his father. I was really proud to be the mother of Jacob's children. They had made every bad thing that happened to me worth it.

The next day Seth and I took Harry to see Rosalie, Emmett and Esme. Since we had left the Hospital in Anchorage, we had been talking about asking Harry what happened that night. We needed to know if Edward had told him something important so we could warn Alice and the others.

Harry had been asking about William and I had told him he was with Edward. It was the first time my sons were apart so it was normal that Harry was suffering from anxiety. Seth explained to me that this was normal among twin brothers.

Esme was preparing blueberry pies when we arrived.

"What's this smell?" Emmett asked when Harry and I came in.

Rosalie elbowed him on the stomach and hugged Harry briefly. I arched my eyebrows but didn't comment because I knew he wasn't talking about the blueberry pies and I really didn't want to fight them about smelling bad. I mean they were corpses and they were dead. They smelled like toilets and sewers.

"Hey there champion. How are you feeling?" Emmett asked picking my son up and sitting him down on a chair.

"I'm good."

"Esme is cooking your favourite breakfast."

"I'm starving." Harry said with a huge smile. Jacob was the same when it came to Esme's cooking, always damn starving.

"So…did you like your party yesterday?" Rosalie questioned messing up Harry's black hair.

He nodded.

"I wish Will was there too."

"He'll be back really soon." Esme assured.

"Where is he anyway?" Harry asked with a frown. "We are always together. Why did he leave?"

"Your brother is fine. He's with Edward and your father went to pick them up." I said.

"Can I go meet them?"

"Not now baby."

"But you can help them to come home sooner." Rosalie said.

"I can?"

"Yes…Do you remember that night when Jasper and I went back to get more marshmallows for you and Will?" Emmett questioned.

He nodded.

"You stayed by the fire with Edward and William, right?" Emmett insisted.

"Yes but then Will said he had to go to the bathroom."

"What did Edward do?" Esme asked putting a plate with a piece of pie in front of Harry.

"He said that Will couldn't go to the bathroom until Jasper and Emmett came back but Will really had to go…so he took his flashlight and went behind the bushes alone."

Harry took a bite of his pie and then he faced us.

"Mum…I think Edward was angry at us…" He whispered.

"I'm sure he wasn't, baby." I smiled. "What happened next?"

"Edward made an angry face, he took a flashlight and…he grabbed me and started running like really fast."

"Did he tell you anything while he was running?" I asked.

"No, he just told me to be quiet…I didn't know Edward was that fast and he jumps really high too. I'm not lying mum. The doctors said I made that up but I didn't."

"I know you didn't."

"You believe me?"

"Of course I do."

"Did Edward tell you anything when he left you?" Rosalie asked.

"I don't remember…"

"Try Harry. We really need to know." She insisted.

"Try to remember." I brushed his hand.

"He told me he was going to get Will and that I shouldn't leave that place…but it was dark and then my flashlight was out of batteries and I was scared."

"It's ok baby, you're safe now." I stated.

"I didn't do what Edward ordered. I left and I got into troubles, didn't I?"

"You gave us quite a scare, kid." Emmett laughed. "But I'm sure your parents won't ground you, right Leah?"

"Right."

"And as soon as your brother comes home, we're going to Seattle to buy you whatever you guys want." Rosalie added.

"Can I have two games instead of one, mum?"

"Harry…don't be greedy."

"But I'm sure Rose doesn't mind…she said she's rich and she can get me everything I want."

I glared at Rosalie. I had always imposed certain rules about the presents they used to buy my kids. I didn't want charity so they were only allowed to buy things not too expensive and only on certain occasions.

"Edward must've left Harry near that security camera on purpose." Esme said. "But we still don't know why he only took Harry to Juneau."

"He probably didn't have time to take Will too." Emmett stated. "So he took Harry, hid him and covered his tracks."

"Should we call them?" Esme asked worriedly.

In that moment Seth entered the kitchen and gave his cell phone to me.

"It's Jake." He said.

Why can't you answer your damn phone Leah? I've tried your cell phone, I've tried home…What the hell is going on? Do you want to kill me?

"Easy…Everything's fine, we're at the Cullens."

Well, next time take your damn cell phone with you.

"Did you wake up on the wrong side of the bed?"

I just don't like to have to call your brother to know where you are and if my family is alright.

"Well, we're fine. Do you want to say anything else or you're just going to keep scolding me for leaving my damn phone at home?"

I'm sorry…I'm just…worried about you.

"Seriously? You're the one in Italy just waiting to face those…things." I said eyeing my six-year old kid who was eating his blueberry pie and looking at me.

"Can I talk to Daddy again?" He said with his mouth full.

"After you eat."

Listen to me Leah…Alice had another vision while we were here and she's positive that we're going to stay here for a while.

"What? Why?"

It looks like the boss leech…that Aro guy will only accept to talk to Edward in about two freaking weeks or so. Alice thinks he's just stalling but she doesn't know why.

"But will Edward be able to protect William?"

She doesn't know…but so far her visions don't show William in any kind of danger.

"What does Aro want from Edward this time? Is he going to ask Edward to stay in Italy?"

Alice doesn't know for sure. So far she's just concerned about Caius and Marcus being absent. Something smells really bad in this story but we have to wait and see.

"So, you're staying there for two more weeks?"

Yeah…I have to. I'm not leaving this damn place without our son.

"How's Italy?"

It's sunny…But I didn't see much because we've been in the hotel room since we got here.

"I could go there with Seth and maybe Embry and Quil too."

What about Harry?

"He could stay with my mother or with Becca."

There's no need, Leah. I rather know that you're there taking care of Harry. You're safe in La Push and if you came here you'd only be putting yourself at risk. I don't want that.

"Fine…But if you need something…if you need us to go, please call us and don't play the damn hero."

Sure, sure…I love you too.

"I miss you, Jacob."

I miss you more.

Jacob spent the next fifteen minutes talking to Harry on the phone and we had the chance to talk about what was happening without Harry listening to us.

"I guess it's weird…I mean usually Aro would be pleased to receive Edward." Rosalie said. "He never hesitated before."

"As long as Alice is with them, they'll be safe." Esme assured. "We need to wait."

"Do you still patrol?" Emmett asked. "We really don't have much to do."

"Only at night." I replied.

"What do you say, Seth?" Emmett asked.

"I guess we can patrol together…It's going to be like the old times, huh?" My brother smiled.

"Bring Quil and Embry and we can go play baseball." Emmett suggested.

I shook my head. They were hopeless. People we cared about and loved were in danger and they were going to play baseball.

"What?" He asked noticing my scowl. "What the hell are we supposed to do for two damn weeks?"

"Just forget about it. You'll never change, Emmett." I said.

A few minutes later Seth, Harry and I went back to the car but suddenly Rosalie grabbed my arm.

"What's wrong?" I asked.

"I think you should have a shower." She said.

"What?" I always thought the Cullens were crazy but having Rosalie advising me to take a shower was beyond bizarre. Unless she was just joking or trying to piss me off.

"Very funny Rosalie." I said sarcastically.

"I'm serious. You smell worse than usual."

"What the hell…I showered this morning…"

Esme and Emmett nodded in agreement and I just stood there looking at them with a questioning look. They were fucking insane.

"If you say so." The Ice Queen said.

"Fuck off leeches. You don't smell like roses either." I spat and went into the car where Harry and Seth were waiting for me.

A/Note 3: The next chapter will be posted tomorrow because next week I will be working and I'll probably only be able to post on Friday night. Harry is finally back and a new enemy will arrive soon.

Blackwater101: Leah is already pregnant and it's Jacob's baby. Sam had his chance once but then Emily came along and now, although he still has feelings for Leah, he lost her for Jake. But I promise a lot of tension between Sam and Leah and then between Sam and Jake. Hope you like it. Thanks :D
