Disclaimer: I do not own the Twilight series or the characters. I'm writing this cause I love the characters and not even getting paid for it. So take that money grubbing lawyers and shove it! Nah, I really don't mean that. I've got family members that are lawyers and I love 'em both.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

Sue sits in the hospital room next to Leah, her daughter, the first female Quileute wolf and the protector of La Push with a sad smile. Sue squeezes Leah's hand for the gazillionth time since her arrival at the hospital emergency room three-days ago – although for Sue it feels even longer. She tried to fight back her tears but it was so hard. She missed hearing her daughter's voice, her laughter, even hearing her complain about her stressed out role as the new Alpha. Instead of doing any of these Leah was now laying in a hospital bed with multiple breaks and fractures in her arms and ribs while the ligaments in both her arms had been ripped and torn. A part of her central nervous system was in shock from the multiple lacerations suffered along her spinal cord and then to add more salt to the wound, vampire venom.

Sue was so grateful that Carlisle and Edward showed up when they did. One of them had sucked the venom out before it could reach her heart. However, she was now sedated to ease the pain of her body healing itself. Sue hadn't seen her daughter in over a week, thanks to both female Clearwaters busy work schedules, and the last time she saw Leah they were arguing about Leah making time to go see Emily. Emily was pregnant again and really wanted to see Leah but Leah stated that she 'didn't want to be bothered with Sam and if Emily wanted to see her so badly then she needed to drive her prego ass over'. "I love you, Leah!" Sue cries out finally unable to hold back the tears any longer squeezing Leah's hand tightly while covering her mouth with her free hand. "I'm sorry, baby. Mommy's sorry." Sue cries out. Feeling a pair of warm hands on her shoulders she turns around and hugs Embry tightly. "Thank you, Embry." Sue hiccups out crying into Embry's chest hugging him tightly.

Embry had remained close by Leah's side never straying too far from her since arriving at the hospital. Sue was grateful for his presence but was concerned for what it could lead to or mean. "She'll be alright." Embry states rubbing Sue's back soothingly and Sue can't help but wince hearing how distant his voice sounds – almost as if he's trying to convince himself of it.

"Embry." Sue whispers after calming down. "Thank you, again." Sue says pulling back some and wiping away her tears. "You've been so supportive and helpful. Leah made the smart decision choosing you as her beta."

"I wouldn't do anything less for her." He admits shaking his head with a weak smile on his tired face as he looks at Leah.

"Well how about we step out and give some of the others a chance to see her?" Sue states as she gently applies pressure to get Embry to leave. "You should eat something – have you eaten anything today?"

"I'm fine." Embry whispers obviously immune to Sue's attempts to usher him out of the room.

"Embry, please, let's go." Sue orders as Embry follows reluctantly. Sue walks down the hall followed by Embry into the waiting room and smiles proudly to see the room full of the Quileute wolves, their imprints along with other close family members and friends that are in on the secret – even most of the Cullens are there. Sue feels her sadness lessen seeing that her daughter has so many friends and people who care so much about her. Everyone is here – but Jacob Black. Sue frowns and sighs heavily thinking about the missing, supposed 'true' Alpha of the Quileute wolves. Jacob Black had always been nothing but like a ray of sunshine for Sue Clearwater especially when he and Leah were little. He followed Leah everywhere and had even once confided in her that he was going to marry Leah some day. Scoffing Sue sits down next to Billy who is sitting next to Seth and along with Charlie both are trying to calm him down. Seth, by far, is taking Leah's condition the hardest and since her arrival refused to see her and yet refused to leave the waiting room. Looking over she sees Edward Cullen looking at her and raises a confused eyebrow when he smiles and begins shaking his head.

"Quite the little gathering we've got here, huh?" Billy comments leaning over to whisper in Sue's ear. "We've got wolves, humans and even vampires."

"Picture is almost complete." Sue whispers thinking about her daughter and his son. A growl erupts from across the room drawing both elders attention. Sue sighs heavily and rubs her eyes in frustration – over the last three days the boys had been basically at each others throats; mainly the cubs. They were all looking for someone to blame for Leah's attack which quickly led to heated arguments, insults and almost all out brawls. From Sue's understanding from what Quil informed her that it was the smaller pack that had stolen the cubs' revenge by finishing off the monster that had attacked her daughter. But, at this point, everyone was tired and stressed – except the vampires who didn't require sleep. Sue looks over to see two of the older cubs, David and Zeke, growling and glaring at the door to the main hallway.

"Dave, Zeke. Calm down." Sam growls out but even his order sounds weak, drained and completely lacking the Alpha bass. Sue can't help but think that she hadn't seen Sam this tired since he finally came back to himself after his first transformation.

"That bastard." Dave growls out and Sue suddenly feels the tension in the room build as both wolves and vampires seem to sense someone or something coming. Sue's eyes widen as she hears heavy and hurried footsteps approaching. Sue feels panic start to well up inside of her as even Embry, who has been leaning up against the wall to next to her, growls as his body starts to vibrate. Before Sue can get a word out the door bursts open and in storms in Jacob Black.

Jacob storms into the waiting room already sensing the thick heavy tension in the small room and clearly recognizes every face that is staring back at him. Ignoring the growls he brushes past David and Ezekiel heading straight for Sue and unceremoniously dropping his bag. "Where is she?" Jacob demands.

"Jacob," Sue begins stunned staring up at the towering man before her in disbelief.

"Sue, please?" Jacob pleads quickly kneeling down and taking both of Sue's small hands into his own.

"She's down that hall. It'll be the fourth door on your right." Sue whispers as Jacob breathes a sigh of relief and quickly gets up.

"Wait!" David growls out stepping forward his body shaking violently. "He has no right to see her." Jacob sighs heavily as he cracks his neck loudly taking a few deep breaths to calm himself.

"Not now." Sam groans out shaking his head as Emily rubs his neck.

"No. He up and leaves for half-a-year and then when she needs him he can't even be bothered to call. Yet he suddenly shows up and we're just supposed to, what? Be happy that Jacob Motherfucking Black is home?" David demands as Edward stands up quickly.

"Dave, calm down." Quil snaps while holding a sleeping Claire.

"Where the hell have you been? Huh? Letting your precious vampire spawn feed off you?" A harsh hiss escapes from the vampires in the room but David continues on. "Where is she anyway? And your precious Bella? That's why you left her behind in the first place, isn't it? So you could be with the Loch Ness. Where are they?"

"They're back in Alaska." Jacob growls out whipping around to face his accuser. "I love Leah and I left them in Alaska." Jacob spits out again internally smirking at the stunned look on David's face as the realization of what his words means. Turning around he immediately heads through the door and down the hall growling to deeply startling a passing nurse.

Taking a couple of deep breaths to calm himself Jacob walks into Leah's room and feels his blood run cold. He sees her lying in the hospital bed and approaches her slowly shaking his head unable to comprehend that the woman before him is the same woman he left six months ago and the same woman who yelled at him over a week ago in anger. The woman before him looks so small, vulnerable with many different machines and monitors hooked up to her. Jacob lightly touches the cast on Leah's arm noticing the tubes sticking out the top near her shoulder. He feels his throat tighten as he notices the tube down her throat. "Leah." Jacob whispers as his hands hover over her face unsure of what to do; he wants to hold her, kiss her, hug her and tell her he loves her.

Taking a deep breath he leans down and lightly kisses her forehead stroking her matted hair gently. He frowns deeply annoyed by the combined scent of both Quileute packs and vampire on her. "Lee, it's me." Jacob whispers taking hold of Leah's hand making sure not to cause anymore unnecessary damage – he laughs bitterly at the thought of hurting the she-wolf. "It's Jake. I'm home. I, I came as soon as I heard what happened. You gotta believe me. Nothing would keep me away from you when you need me – nothing ever will again." Jacob whispers correcting himself while sitting on her bed watching her chest slowly rise and fall. "I need, there's something I gotta tell ya." Jacob whispers watching for any movements to show that she can hear him – nothing. "But before I say it I need you to wake up, baby. Please wake up." Jacob pleads a hint of the Alpha command in his voice. A small part of him now feels guilty for trying to order her awake but the other half just wants her, so desperately, to wake up, yell at him, punch him, anything but look like this tiny, vulnerable and broken woman. "C'mon baby." Jacob growls out as he leans over her biting his bottom lip in frustration. With a heavy sigh he rests his forehead against hers noting how cold and clammy her forehead feels.

"Jacob?" Jacob opens his eyes at the sound of the voice surprised by the fact that he had dozed off for a second. Pulling back a little he is surprised to see tears on Leah's cheeks and quickly realizes that they are his own. Gently he wipes the tears away from her face and roughly runs a hand over his own. Standing up he sees Sue, smiling up at him, and Seth, his focus clearly on the woman behind him.

"Sue, Seth." Jacob greets sniffing as he clears his throat slightly embarrassed by his moment of weakness.

"Carlisle has her heavily sedated." Sue explains walking up to Jacob and rubbing his arm as if for support. Jacob watches as Seth walks around to the other side of Leah's bed looking at her with a sad and confused expression.

'He's never seen her like this before.' Jacob notes watching as Seth's fists clench so tightly the skin over his knuckles are pale.

"So, uh, why," Jacob tries to ask his question but notices Seth flinch suddenly.

"She was in a lot of pain." Sue answers seemingly unaware of her son's discomfort at the conversation. "Carlisle speculates that her body may still be trying to fight off the remaining venom. Although they believe they removed all of it." Jacob and Seth both flinch already knowing what the removal of vampire venom entails. Jacob looks over and notices a bandage wrapped around Leah's neck and he swallows the acidic bile that threatens to come out. Shaking his head he continues listening to Sue explaining that the reason for Leah's slow healing is due to the shock of her body experiencing the venom. However, he finds some relief in the fact that her arms are completely healed and she will receive removable casts just for show.

"Why is she 'in' the hospital?" Jacob asks looking over at Seth watching him closely.

"Carlisle didn't have everything that was needed to treat the severity of her wounds." Sue answers. "So we had no choice but to bring her here. Everyone believes that she was in a really bad motorcycle accident." Jacob chuckles at the lack of originality in the story.

"So, uh, what, what exactly happened?" Jacob feels his throat swell up regretting asking the question as Seth shuts his eyes tightly and tears begin to fall from his eyes. As an Alpha he has to know how it happened so as not to let history repeat itself at least that's what the logical side of him states. Emotionally he wants to know so that he can give it back to the next fuckin' leech for hurting the woman he loves.

"A female attacked her," Sue begins but stops as Seth growls and looks up at Jacob with fierce, blood shot eyes.

"She tortured her." Seth spits out in his anger. "She broke both of her arms. They were so twisted and mangled it was horrifying." Jacob listens in silence his face expressionless but his eyes showing his anger, outrage and horror. "Zeke says the fuckin' leech clawed at her spine leaving her paralyzed from the lower back down – she got it for trying to save him. Then, then she bit her. That goddamned, fuckin' bitch bit my sister." Jacob feels his own body begin to tremble as the anger inside of him beings to build and notices Seth's body reacting the same way. Taking a couple of deep breath Jacob calms himself knowing that phasing this close to Leah is too great of a risk.

"Seth." Jacob calls reaching over the bed and touches his forearm. At the contact Seth stops and Jacob is taken aback to see a sadistic smile on his face.

"At least the bitch got what she gave Leah but ten times worse." Jacob nods his head with a small smile.

"Alright you two." Sue says wiping away tears neither Seth nor Jacob knew she was shedding. "Visiting hours is almost over and we have to clear out to let Carlisle and some nurses come in and look after her." Sue states as she leans in and kisses Leah's cheek.

"Love ya, Lee." Seth whispers as he leans down and kisses his sister's forehead resting his hot cheek against her cold forehead before walking away.

Jacob watches as Sue and Seth head towards the door before he turns back around to Leah. Leaning in he gently kisses the top of her head, her forehead and finally her nose. "Never again." Jacob whispers as he walks out the room. Once outside he notices on Seth in the hallway leaning against the wall opposite him staring down at the floor and his brow furrowed. Jacob looks down the hallway and notices Sue down the hallway talking to Carlisle.

"He's updating her on Lee's condition." Seth explains in a hushed voice looking up at Jacob. "They were going to do a blood transfusion to help her body remove any excess venom but Carlisle believes that Lee's body is building up an immunity to it." Seth chuckles lightly at Jacob's shocked reaction. "She's the fastest, the smartest, the best strategist and now she's immune to leech venom."

"They'll be no living with her." Jacob adds smiling while shaking his head already knowing that Leah will rub this tidbit of info in every wolf's nose. Both become quiet to try and catch more of the conversation and smile as the news only gets better.

"Would you two go down and tell everyone the good news?" Sue asks turning her attention towards the eavesdroppers not bothering to raise her voice.

"Sure, sure." Jacob says with a nod as he heads back to the waiting room. He can't help but breath a sigh of relief with the news that Leah's latest x-rays looked great – her arms were completely healed and her spine was healing up nicely as well. Per Carlisle she could wake up in the next day or two and be ready to go back home under the guise of insurance problems and/or her own religious reasons. Or just any excuse just to get her out of here as soon as possible. But the only down side, for Leah, is that it means no phasing for a couple of weeks or maybe even a month.

Stopping short of the door Jacob hears many voices on the other side talking, whispering and arguing. Seth stands next to Jacob and frowns shaking his head.

~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~

"I say the fucker's lying." David says speaking up to no one in particular. Charlie had left after Seth and Sue went to go down and visit Leah meaning that everyone left in the room were in on the imprint knowledge – meaning speaking freely was alright but to a point..

"Why would he lie about something like that?" Rachel demands angrily as Paul sits back rubbing her pregnant stomach.

"So, what? All of you suddenly believe that the imprint can be broken?" David's question is met with silence.

"We do!" Alice pipes in excitedly smiling brightly at David.

"You only believe because I bet none of you even wanted it to happen." Zeke states with a smug grin.

"And you're right to a point." Rosalie adds coldly rubbing her temples. "But, it's the truth. His imprint is broken and has been broken for two years now."

"But how? Why?" Emily asks her voice laced with fear and worry as Sam concentrates on the coven of vampires on the far side of the room.

"That's an answer only the man who did it can give." Emmett states. "Maybe he just loved her more." Edward and Jasper both shake their heads as a growl erupts from Sam.

"The imprint can't be broken!" Sam snaps standing up and startling Claire awake.

"Great! Just great. Thanks a lot, Sam!" Quil snaps angrily as Claire looks around bewildered, frightened and on the brink of tears.

"Yea, but he just told you in so few words that it can happen and it did happen." Rosalie states with a smug grin on her face.

"Bullshit." David snaps back. "Two years ago? Then why did he leave then?"

"Because he thought he had to. He didn't want to risk hurting Leah if he was wrong." Edward states while rubbing the bridge of his nose obviously suffering from a major headache.

"You know what?" Rachel asks as she looks around the room chuckling lightly as Edward leaves the room followed by the other Cullens. "That boy is stubborn enough to do something like that."

"And leave it to him to find a loophole in anything." Billy adds smiling proudly about his prodigal for the first time in a long time.

Embry still holding his position against the wall quietly listens to the conversation intently taking in everything that has been said and whispered. He can understand the anger, surprise, worry and frustration that Jacob's presence has ushered in – especially considering that per Edward's confirmation both Bella and Nessie are still in Alaska – meaning that he actually broke the imprint. The girls are worried because if it's true what does that mean for their relationship with their male counterparts? Sam's anger, obviously, stems from the fact that Jacob is a rival male but on top of that it's no secret among the wolves that deep down inside Sam Uley always has and always will love Leah Clearwater – just not the way he always planned. Yet, Jacob has proved himself the stronger and better wolf –again. The frustration is, of course, his and the cubs who all claim to love Leah. But now with Jacob's outright declaration of his love for Leah everyone except the Cullens was surprised. But how does anyone compete with an Alpha? Especially if that male is 6'7", pure muscle and just the special 'bond' that the two already shared.

"Jake is not the begin all and end all." Dave spits as the doors open and in storms an annoyed Jacob followed by Seth.

"You know it wouldn't kill any of you to actually be happy that I'm here." Jacob spits out eyeing David darkly.

"I'm glad you're here." Seth states with his usual smile.

"Like that's a surprise." Zeke mutters chuckling.

"What's that supposed to mean?" Seth demands.

"Nothing much except that you're always looking for a way to ride Jake's dick." Zeke states while shrugging his shoulders. "Jake maybe you're just confused. Maybe it's Seth that you love and not Leah."

"Watch your mouth! There's kids here." Quil yells covering Claire's ears as Emily covers her own son's, Levi, ears.

"Shut the fuck up Zeke!" Seth growls dangerously taking an intimidating step forward.

"Seth." Jacob growls while throwing an arm up in front of Seth.

"That's it!" Quil states standing up and gathering Claire and her belongings. "Look visiting hours is about over. I need to get Claire home. Jake, man, nice to see ya. Glad you're back. And I won't have her sitting here listening to this shi…mess." Quil quickly corrects himself and walks out the room.

"Anyway, Jake, sorry if I'm not jumping for joy like your fanboy over there." Dave says ignoring Seth's growl. "But, I hope you can understand my skepticism in you suddenly showing up and claiming that you love Leah alluva sudden."

"It was not alluva sudden and it's none of your business." Jacob growls out finding his patience quickly fading with the arrogant boy before him.

"Alright, I think it's time that you two boys settle." Billy orders now that the two are only a foot part yelling and growling at one another.

"And if you've loved her for as long as the leeches say you have then why weren't you there when she needed you?" Jacob's jaw tightens as Dave now whispers. "You know who was there? Much to my disgust it was Call. Call was there for her – hugging her, holding her and comforting her. Lee-Lee's been through a lot and I don't think she'll,"

"I don't know what Sam's problem is but I would've put you in your place a long time ago." Jacob whispers dangerously towering over Dave who only stands at 5'11". Jacob's fists clench tightly as Dave laughs to himself and has a very arrogant and smug look on his face.

"Well then if you could get me either on top of or underneath Lee," And that's all Dave gets out as the Jacob suddenly sees red and grips his head slamming him down into one of the waiting room tables. A fight quickly erupts with the cubs rushing in to aid David, Seth to back up Jacob and the others trying to pull the two apart.

"ENOUGH!" Everyone freezes as Sue stands in the doorway with a cold hard frown on her face. "What the hell do you think you all are doing?" Sue turns her attention to the center and finds Jacob Black standing over David who has a broken and bloody nose. "That emotion controlling vamp certainly picked a fine time to leave." Sue mutters to herself her arms shaking with anger. "I warned you all that if ONE more fight broke out I would make you all go home."

"Well HE started it." Dave shouts pointing at Jacob.

"GO HOME! All of you." Sue whispers. "There are other people here besides Leah and before Jacob even got here you boys were already fighting amongst yourselves. Go home and I will call when it's alright for some of you to come back."

"But Sue," Jacob calls but is quickly silenced as Sue raises her hand.

"I don't want to hear it. Leah's doing better and will wake up in the next couple of days. Obviously that good news was some how lost in translation but her arms and her spine are fine. Now, then, I have a long shift ahead of me and will keep you all informed. Now go." Sue orders and quickly turns around leaving without another word.

"Nice job, Dave." Cyrus whispers harshly as he picks his friend off the floor and pushes him towards the door out. "Night everybody." Cyrus calls as everyone else decides to follow his lead. Slowly the room clears out until only Jacob, Billy, Rachel, Paul, Seth and Embry are left.

"Seth, you need a ride?" Embry asks as he finally pushes himself off from against the wall. The same post he's held ever since Jacob Black arrived and even when the fight erupted he refused to move.

"Yea, thanks, Embry." Seth says as Embry stops in front of Jacob and the two look at each other.

"Hey Embry." Jacob greets with a stiff nod and Embry returns it back a small smile on his face. "You look dog tired." Jacob comments with a frown noting the dark bags under Embry's eyes as they look at one another.

"Do I look that bad?" Embry asks chuckling lightly. "But, yea, I am. As you just witnessed it's kind of unnerving having two separate packs in a small, enclosed area for any prolonged period of time." Jacob nods his head sheepishly in agreement. Both men seem slightly uncomfortable with the other's presence. "She'll, she'll be happy to see you when she wakes up."

"I'll be happy to see her when she wakes up." Jacob retorts smiling at the thought. "Th, thanks Embry." Jacob says coming back to himself and clearing his throat. "Thanks for looking out for her." Jacob states and Embry can't help but narrow his eyes at the comment. Embry notices a hint of finality to the statement even if no one else does or chooses to ignore it.

"I didn't do it for you." Embry states closing his eyes tightly trying to suppress a growl. "I did it for her." The two men glare at one another as Seth stands looking between the two unsure of what to do.

"Well, of course, you did, Embry." Paul says walking up and slapping Embry on the back. "The girl's your Alpha after all and a friend, right? And besides just because Jake is back doesn't mean that you won't keep looking out for her, right?" Paul asks turning his attention to Jacob. Jacob, Seth and Embry all look at Paul as if he's grown another head.

"Right." Jacob and Embry both state at the same time both agreeing to a momentary truce.

"Good now how about we clear out of here before Sue comes back." Paul states as he starts pushing Billy's chair. "Night boys."

"Good night, Embry, Seth." Rachel says as she follows her husband out the room.

"Yea, night you two." Jacob says as he quickly nods his head and follows behind his family.

The car ride home is anything but eventful, or at least Jacob would've liked it to be. Jacob sits in the back of Paul's car with Rachel who is obviously about five months pregnant. "So how you feeling, sexy?" Rachel asks in a deep husky voice snapping Jacob out of his thoughts. Looking over at her he can't help but blush as she winks at him and the memory of their last phone conversation comes to mind.

"Sorry about that. Emmett switched my speed dial numbers around." Jacob explains now finding the back of Paul's head very interesting.

"Yea, I kind of figured. Is that your usual conversation starter with her?" Rachel asks pushing Jacob roughly as he blushes. "Don't you think you're too old to be blushing?" Rachel continues teasing Jacob as he pokes him in the ribs giggling as he flinches and a laugh escapes his lips.

"Stop that." Jacob orders grabbing Rachel's fingers.

"Simmer down back there, you two." Billy states as Rachel tries to bite Jacob's hands.

"Yea, Jake. That's my wife you've been hitting on." Paul adds smirking as Jacob groans.

"I wasn't hitting her. She's my sister. I thought it was Leah, okay?"

"Yea, 'cuz you two have been having phone sex since you left." Paul states matter-of-factly as Jacob growls. "Oh…so you weren't?"

"Shut it, Paul." Jacob growls out showing his annoyance. Paul chuckles lightly and drops off his father and brother-in-law at their home and heads for home.

Jacob yawns as he heads towards his room glad to sleep somewhere familiar as his Dad says good night. Lying back on his bed he rolls over onto his stomach burying his face into his pillow and catches a faint whiff of Leah's scent on it. His mind wanders to her and recalls that she was lying in his bed as he went through his closet trying to decide on what to pack and she argued that there was no point really since Alice would pitch anything he brought with him. He recalls her hugging his pillow tightly and wishing that she'd hug him tightly – so tight he wouldn't leave. Sitting up in his bed Jacob gets up and walks down the hall and heads out the door. He breathes a sigh of relief as he walks down the familiar street heading towards the Clearwaters. Heading to the side of the house Jacob takes a moment to look at Leah's window. He smiles to himself thinking about how often he's come here before late at night just to talk to Leah – only to fall asleep with her in his arms on very rare occasions. For the most part she either sent him home or made him sleep on her floor. He always opted to sleeping on the floor just so he could be in the same room as her.

Digging into the last reserves of his energy Jacob quickly jumps up grabbing hold of the ledge to Leah's room and curses silently as he struggles to lift her window. Quickly succeeding at the task at hand he climbs into the room and collapses on her bed happily breathing in her scent. Her scent always reminded him of a field of wildflowers mixed in with the pine and forest scent. He's always loved her scent; it's the scent that he's longed for and almost lost forever no thanks to a stinking leech. Wrapping his arms around her pillow Jacob quickly drifts off to sleep no longer surprised that he's praying to God for Leah to awaken tomorrow, "Then I'll tell her I love her." Jacob says with a loud yawn as he drifts off to sleep.

Well here goes the latest update. See? No freaky werepire or anything weird like that. I think something like that would just be wrong kinda like Jacob imprinting on the Halfling anyway but lemme just first apologize. I thought I'd have a quiet day to myself to write and proofread this chapter but with a sick two-year old and family planning an outing in three weeks and planning for Labor Day weekend – this just hasn't been the best of time. I've also been real busy at work not really having time to think and write. The argument between Jacob and the cubs didn't go as well as I had originally planned but I had a friend that insisted on telling me everything about a video game he was playing. But as always read and review hopefully by the middle of next week I'll actual get around to writing a decent ending for this fic. Thanks for all the reviews by the way and to those of you who have me on alert or fave at least give me a review when the story is marked complete. Come on tell me what you really think.
