Sorry guys, the internet was acting up last couple of nights and it wouldn't let me go anywhere including fanfiction so I couldn't update. (Dumb VZ Access card!!) Thanks for the reviews folks! Okay, so, technically, the main characters of this story are Leah, Edward, Jacob, and Seth… VERY IMPORTANT: Okay, so, I need a bit of help. Please go to my profile page and vote on the last name for the baby… I'm really not sure what name I should give him/her…(I already know what the sex of the baby will be and the name but I'm not spilling the beans until it's born.) Okay, here's chapter six.-Jenny/George

Chapter six: A Special Diet

Leah's POV:

Seth watched me curiously as I dug into my tenth plate of macaroni and cheese.

"Um… Don't get me wrong but don't you think ten boxes is a little too much?" Seth asked.

I glared at him, "I'm eating for two." I said stuffing my mouth with another spoonful of macaroni.

Seth nodded, "So, about this new job… when do you begin?"

I frowned, "I told you, tomorrow…"

"Is the person who gave you the offer nice?" Seth asked.

I shrugged, "She's…different…but, hey, she said she could really use my help."

Seth chuckled, "Wow, she must be really desperate!"

Without any warning what so every I phased into my wolf form. The table flipped on its side, spilling the pasta everywhere.

"Leah! Leah! Please! Calm down! Look I didn't mean it! I'm sorry!" Seth said backing up as I crouched down readying myself to pounce on Seth.

Seth scooped up the pot and the spoon and stated to bang them together, "BACK! BACK!" he demanded clashing the pot and spoon together as I crept towards him.

I leaped, knocking Seth hard against the wall. Dry wall powder sprinkled on us as I cowered over Seth. I felt his heartbeat through my paws as I gazed into his frightened eyes. It was the same look he had when he was three when I had left him alone in the pitch black basement for five minutes.

I felt my body sway and I backed off of Seth, quivering and trembling I cringed into a dark corner.

"Leah?! You okay?!" Seth asked getting up.

He started to walk towards me but I snarled and snapped at him.

"STAY AWAY!" I half yelled half barked.

Seth took one step back. "What happened?!"

I had completely phased back into my human form, "I-I don't know… I-I can usually control myself but…"

Seth took two steps closer. A low snarl escaped from my chest and he quickly backed up.

"Was it hormones?" Seth asked.

I shook my head, "I-I don't know…I-I just need to be left alone…"

Seth nodded, "Okay, I'll just go to my room…"

I curled up into a ball I just lay there in the corner. I could've killed Seth… I had to be more careful… Could the baby have something to do with my sudden outburst? A power involved maybe? What would this child look like? A vampire, a werewolf, both? What would it be capable of? Would it be a danger to me when it really started to grow? These questions swirled around in my brain as I lay there, huddled, my knees pressed to my chest. I closed my eyes, wishing that I was just in a really bad nightmare…

"Leah…Leah…Leah, wake up…" I heard somewhere in the distance.

I groaned, "Leave me alone…"

"Leah… Leah… Leah, c'mon, it's seven o'clock…" the voice sounded very close.

I forced my eyes opened to see Seth standing over me with the phone in his hand. I looked around me to see a pile of blankets and pillows on the floor. I must've fallen asleep down there and Seth thought I looked cold…

"It's someone named Jane… she really needs to talk to you." Seth said.

I took the phone from Seth, "Jane…" I mumbled, "Is something wrong…"

I heard a childish giggle from the other line, "Oh no, everything's perfectly fine…I was just wondering if you'd like to come and have breakfast with me."

Strange… We'd just met yesterday and now she wanted to have breakfast with me…

"Okay, where should I meet you?" I asked standing up.

"There's a Silver Diner on the corner of Main… let's meet there." Jane said.

"Sure…um, I'll meet you there in ten. I'll see you there." With that I hung up the phone.

"You're having breakfast with her?!" Seth asked alarmed.

"Yeah, sure, why not?" I said pulling on some clothes.

"Well, I mean, you both just met and…you don't think she's crushing on you… what if Jane's a lesbian! Quick, you have to tell her you don't feel the same way about her… Wait don't, she might fire you, just go on with it for a little while…"

I slapped Seth's arm, "She's not gay Seth. She's just a very social person…that's all."

Seth shrugged, "Okay, sure, Leah…whatever…have fun with Jen…Jean…Jae…"

"Jane." I corrected.

"Yeah her…I'll just be here all by my lonesome… I'm sure the TV will bring me some comfort, it always has… Sometimes, I think about imprinting on the TV…"

I glared at Seth, "Okay…I'm going to go now…"

Seth waved me a feeble attempt of a goodbye as I was walking out the door.

I wondered if Seth was right about Jane. Could she really be hitting on me? Ah, who am I kidding?! Seth was the same kid who thought aliens had landed in La Push on New Year's Eve of 1999. He didn't know anything.

I walked down the crowded streets of New York. My walk lasted about ten minutes after I had successfully came upon the Silver Diner.

"Leah!" Jane waved to me when I walked through the door.

I walked over to her table and sat down. Jane wasn't alone. There were three other people with her.

"Leah, I'd like to introduce you to Heidi, Chelsea, and Alec." Jane said pointing to each person.

"Nice to meet you. Do you also work for Jane?" I asked.

"You could say that." Chelsea said smiling at Jane.

A waitress walked over to our table, "Can I get ya'll something to eat?"

Jane smiled, "Just for her." Jane said pointing at me.

I looked around the table at the four pale faces, "You guys aren't getting anything?"

Alec smiled, "We're on a… special diet…"

His tone made my neck hairs stand up.

I looked at the waitress, "I'll just have orange juice and a bagel please." I usually would have gotten more with Seth there but I didn't know these people and I didn't want them to think I was some kind of freak.

The waitress smiled, "Sure thing sweetie." She collected our menus and went away.

"So Leah, tell us a bit about yourself." Heidi smiled.

"Well…um…I came here to NYC with my brother Seth…" I began.

Jane's smiled disappeared, "So…you're not alone?"

I nodded, "Yea… um… it's a long story…"

Alec looked over at Jane, "Tell us, we have time."

I sighed. They didn't know me so I guess it wouldn't hurt, "I-I had an affair with this guy named Edward and…I sorta became pregnant…"

Chelsea inhaled, "Does the father know?"

I shook my head, "No, only Seth knows. That's why we ran away… It-it's kinda complicated but Edward's family and my family don't really get along and if it got out that I was pregnant with his child…"

"Then there'd be a problem. We get it." Jane's smile had returned. "Don't worry Leah; we're very good at keeping secrets… Do you have any idea when the child is due?"

I shrugged, "In a few months I guess… I failed health class at school so I shouldn't be the one to be asked."

Alec nodded, "I see… have you been to a doctor or anything?"

I shook my head, "As I said before… it's complicated…"

The waitress walked over and placed my OJ and bagel in front of me before going off to help a disgruntled customer.

"So… have you experienced any odd pains or emotions?" Heidi asked.

Why were they so interested in the baby?

"Not really… the occasional morning sickness…" I mumbled biting into my bagel.

"How far along are you?" inquired Chelsea.

I swallowed hard. I had been doing a bit of thinking about that… It seemed by pregnancy was twice as fast as a normal pregnancy… so… I had been pregnant for about two weeks which, I guess, would make me four weeks pregnant realistically…

"A month…" I mumbled.

Alec raised an eyebrow, "Ah… I see…" he then turned to Jane and whispered something that was inaudible to hear. Jane nodded in agreement and turned to me smiling.

"Uh Leah… Could you start work tomorrow? We have some…business to discuss with our boss…" Jane said.

I let out a distressed sigh, "It's about me isn't?! Look, if you can't hire me I understand. I saw something about why pregnant women aren't hired on CNN…"

Jane chuckled and shook her head, "No no Leah, it's not like that at all... You are definitely coming to work for us pregnant or not. We have to go over…store plans with our boss Aro…"

"Oh…good…" I let out a sigh of relief.

The waitress walked over and was about to hand me my check when Jane took it, "Breakfast's on me Leah."

I smiled for the first time in a long time, "Thank you…"

"Yea, well, what're friends for?" Jane said scribbling the amount due on a check.

My eyes rose, "You consider me a-a friend?"

Jane smiled, "What else would I consider you?"

I thought for a minute as many names pooped into my mind, "Never mind…"

Jane, Heidi, Alec, and Chelsea stood up at the same time.

"So, I guess we'll see you tomorrow Leah?" Alec asked.

I nodded, "I guess so."

Jane smiled, "Well, goodbye Leah."

"Bye…" I whispered.

I watched as the four people left. I guess they weren't so bad after all. I vexed myself for even thinking about Seth's idea as true for a second. I had finally found a friend on this cruel earth who was kind to me and I wasn't about to throw her away just because of some stupid theory of my brother's.

Well, I hope you enjoyed this chapter. Don't worry, Jacob appears in a few chapters. Please read and review. I'll try to update soon. I'm limited on the computer until I finish reading two books for school (reading 50 pages=30 minutes on the computer)-Jenny. DON'T FORGET TO VISIT THE POLL!!!!
