Chapter Two

The Lost and Found

Summary: A cry was heard in the forest. One wolf runs towards the source only to discover a horrific scene. There was no doubt in her mind that vampires caused this. But what is found among the wreckage will shock the pack to their core.

Leah's POV:

The trip back to the Cullen's was rough to say the least. I held on tight to little man with on arm and gripped fistfuls of Jacobs warm rustic fur in the other as I sat atop him. I could tell he wanted to go faster but was afraid of jostling him around further. It took too many precious minutes but we finally reached the Cullen's. I gently eased myself off of Jacob before darting to the front door of the Cullen's huge mansion. I skipped steps up the porch, before I could even raise my hand to bang on the front door it flew open and I was quickly ushered in by Carlisle. Wow, great service here at the vamp house. I'll have to give them a good review on Yelp.

"What's wrong." He said looking at the little baby resting in my arms. He reached out for him and instinctually I pulled him away from his arms and closer to myself. He smiled gently up at me.

"It's okay Leah, please let me see him so I can help give him his best chance at survival." I nodded and carefully handed him over. My arms felt cold the minute he left them.

"Sorry, I know I just... Please help him." He nodded with a patient smile.

"I will do my best." He said before dashing to his at home doctors office. I began after him but Jacob stopped me in my tracks. I didn't even hear him come in.

"It's okay Leah. Let him do his thing." My heart longed to be with 'little man'. To keep him safe and protect him. That was what I promised him. Jacob pulled me close to him and stroked my hair gently. Why was he doing this? Why was he being so nice to me. It's not like we were ever close. We were more like co-workers, I was his Beta and he my Alpha. He was probably just doing this to be nice, it was his job as the alpha to make sure his pack mates were happy. Yeah, that's it.

"I just want to be with him." I sighed softly into his shirt. I hadn't even known the tiny infant for more than an hour and I was already attached. Jacob nodded as he rocked my body from side to side.

"I know Leah, I know." He cooed. This was so ridiculous but it made me feel better none the less, but it still wasn't enough. I need him. Please be okay. Just then the mind rapist came down the steps and appeared next to me.

"Mind rapist?" He said raising a brow.

"That's what you are aren't you?" I said emotionless as I pulled away from Jacob to face him.

"I would prefer a less abrasive tittle." He said. The corners of his mouth tugging up ever so slightly.

"And I would prefer my thoughts to be my own, but we all cant be so lucky." He just shoved his hands in my pockets and chuckled. Just then the mama vamp, Esme, walked into the room. Her face holding a gentle smile like always.

"Hello Jacob, Leah, would either of you like something to eat while you wait for Carlisle to check on the little one?" Out of all the bloodsuckers she was the easiest for me to trust. Her smile and concern always seemed genuine, and how could I hate a woman who happily fed my brothers hungry mouth? It gave her such joy to feed the boys.

"Thank you Esme, that would be great. Let us know when its ready please." He said before taking my hand and pulling me out onto the front porch. I didn't want to leave the house. What if doctor vamp came back down?

"Leah can we talk for a minute?" I sighed at leaned onto the railing and placed my head in my hands.

"I guess since you already dragged me out here." Jacob came over to me, and turned me around to face him.

"About earlier. You should never go off without someone there with you..." I huffed, cutting him off.

"Jacob I was fine! Look, I'm still here. Nothing bad happened!" I said holding my hands out to my side to showcase that I didn't even have a scratch on me.

"I know but that doesn't mean it was any less dangerous. What if the vamp was hiding somewhere, waiting for the right moment to pounce on you? Or worse! What if he or she got you when you phased out! No one would have been there to back you up. You could have gotten yourself, and the baby killed. I can't lose you like that Leah." Jacob said running his hands roughly through his hair, as if the thought of me dying disturbed him so much.

"Wow Black, it almost sounds like you care." I said mockingly as I looked down at the floor. Jacob took my hands in his.

"I do care about you, just as much as I do for everyone in my pack. You most of all. You're my beta, Leah. Without you this pack would crumble. You may be a bitch at times but you keep us in line and make sure we are all looked after. I could never do this without you." He said as he lifted my chin to look him in the eyes.

"I need you here. So you have to promise me you wont go face anything alone." I could tell he meant every word he said to me. The look in his eyes was pleading enough.

"Okay okay." I sighed, but for him that wasn't enough.

"Promise me." He pleaded. I rolled my eyes.

"Okay, I promise I wont go off on my own when faced with a possible vampire attack." He studied my face before finally bringing me in close for a hug.

"Thank you." He said as he tucked me in close to him. I reveled in the warmth of his skin before the door opened and Carlisle stepped out, cradling little man in his arms. Quickly I dashed up to him.

"As of right now the little guy seems pretty healthy, but I cant for sure say yet if he was affected by the cold or rain. I would like to schedule daily check ups for him if possible to make sure he is progressing nicely. We would like to avoid a cold in one so young. Also it seems he is only hours old. His umbilical cord is still in place and will need to be carefully dealt with until it dries up and detaches naturally, until then you can only give him sponge baths. You cannot submerge him in water until then. He will also need regular round the clock feedings. I have already asked Esme to warm up a bottle for him." I hung onto his every word, making mental notes of everything Carlisle said.

"So he's okay?" I said as Carlisle gently handed him back over to me.

"As of right now yes." He said with a smile. "But like I said, he may catch a cold from being exposed to the elements for so long without proper clothing and shelter." I nodded before walking past him and back into the house. As I did Esme appeared holding a bottle and small yellow blanket.

"Luckily we had extra formula and baby clothes laying around from Renesmee. Here you go, I'm sure you'd like to be the one who feeds him." She said holding the bottle out to me. I nodded, taking a seat on the comfortable looking rocking chair, looks didn't lie either, it was heavenly. She assisted me in getting him swaddled before resting him back in my arms and passing the bottle over to me. As soon as the bottle hit his lips he was hungrily sucking at it.

"Thank you Esme." My thanks was 100% genuine. I really was grateful for all the help they were giving me. Esme smiled before flipping off the main lights and turning on the lap closest to me.

"There you go, maybe that will make it easier for him to shut those little eyes." She smiled before leaving me and Jacob alone in the room. Just then we heard a howl.

"That must mean they found the vamp responsible, Leah stay here with the baby, I'm going to go help." Just then Emmett, Jasper and Edward appeared next to Jake.

"We'll come with you." Edward said as they all headed out the door. I returned my attention back down to 'Little Man'. He was now wearing a white and pale green stripped, long sleeve onesie, and was swaddled in a yellow baby blanket. The blood had been cleaned from him and his deep black hair had been carefully brushed through. His deep brown eyes began droop down as sleep over took him, though his drinking did not stop until the whole bottle was drained. I lifted him up carefully and began to burp him. It wasn't long before he gave me a loud and powerful burp. I laughed when the innocent sound graced my ears.

"Good job 'Little Man." I cooed before placing him back in my arms and continued to rock him gently back and forth. My finger lightly tracing every inch of his little face. His skin was the same olive color as mine. It was obvious to me he was of Quileute descent. His features and skin marking him of his heritage. Just then the blonde vampire walked into the room.

"Poor thing." She said coming up to me and staring at the infant in my arms. I sighed as I looked down at him.

"Yeah, he hasn't quite had it easy." And it was the truth. What a greeting he got from earth. No doubt he heard his mother screaming as she was dragged away and killed.

"So what's his name?" She questioned.

"To be honest, I don't think he's been given one." I answered. She nodded and looked at me. She held no hostility in her big golden eyes.

"Sooo, why don't you give him a name then." I nodded, looking down at him I though about what would be a good name for him.

"I... I think I'll call him... Lucas, Luke for short." I said. The blonde vampire smiled at the name.

"I like it. What about a middle name?" I sat there puzzled for a moment.

"What about James? If I could have kids that's what I would have called my son." She said. I thought about it for a moment. Lucas James?

"Yeah, Lucas James. I love it, thank you..."

"Rosalie... My name is Rosalie. And if you ever need any help don't be afraid to ask. I'm really good with kids." She smiled before walking off. I noticed Lucas' eyes slowly drift shut before staying there. I gently brought him up to my face and kissed his little head.

"Goodnight Lucas, see you when you wake up."

Jacob's POV:

It took us all night but we finally caught up to the bloodsucker, with fresh blood still dripping from his mouth. The baster was fast too. We really could have used Leah's speed that night. But once we caught him it didn't take long to rip him apart and burn the remains. Eventually we were all standing around the fire watching it burn.

"Fucker probably heard her giving birth, she was easy bait. I wonder why he left the baby though? Wouldn't he have heard it?" Embry pondered out loud. I sighed and nodded my head. I too had thought the same thing.

"Why was she out there giving birth in the first place? She must have known about her condition, and as far as I can tell she must have been alone." Emmett said, further adding questions to all of out minds. Everyone stood their deep in thought. No doubt trying to understand.

"Maybe she was embarrassed and didn't want anyone to know. Lord only knows what was going on in her mind. Did she plan on keeping him? Or was something darker here at play." Seth added. I shuddered. What was she going to do to him? Kill him and tell no one about what happened? Or maybe she was going to take him and run?

"I don't know what happened and we may never know. What I do know though is that the vampire is gone and now we have an infant on our hands." I said as I rubbed my face.

"What are your plans for the child?" Edward asked.

"Honestly I have no idea. Our first step will be to find someone to take care of him." I shrugged my shoulders.

"I'm sure you will find someone, you may already have too. But if you guys ever need any help we all would be happy to help." Edward said placing a reassuring had on my shoulder.

"Thanks." He nodded before we all started heading back to the Cullens.

"Jake, Seth and I can take this next patrol alright." I nodded and thanked them before phasing and began my run back to the Cullen's to check on Leah and the baby. Leah and the baby? Never thought I'd get to say that.

As I walked into the Cullen's home I was greeted by the horrible stench that always exuded this place.

"You don't smell any better." Edward said as he walked around me and headed up the stairs. Bastard.

"Hear that!" He yelled from his room. I softly chuckled as I walked into the living room. I stopped dead in my tracks when I saw a sleeping Leah with the baby cradled in her arms. He was wide awake and was currently working on shoving his whole first in his mouth. I chuckled and walked over to them. Slowly I took him from Leahs arms, but as soon as he was gone from them her eyes flew open.

"Relax Lee, its just me. I was going to feed him another bottle before he gummed his whole hand off." I chuckled as I bounced him in my arms. He was still trying to eat his own fist.

"No, no. I can do that." Leah said as she tried to get up only to be kicked back into the seat by my foot. She glared up at me.

"As your alpha I command that you get some rest. You've been at this all day. And don't tell me you aren't tired either. I can see the bags under your eyes." She glared a little longer before getting up. I was about to push her back down when she held a hand up at me.

"I'm just moving to the couch." She said defensively. I smiled and let her walk past me. She laid herself down bunt her eyes never left me and the baby.

"I named him Lucas by the way." Leah said as I started for the kitchen. I stopped and looked down at the little man.

"It's perfect." I smiled before turning and walking into the kitchen. I searched through the cabinets before I finally located the container with baby formula in it.

"Alright Lucas, lets see if I remember how to do this." I had experience with babies before. I learned fast when it came to Edward and Bella's daughter Renesmee. When it came to her you had to move fast, because by the time you learned it she was grown out of that stage and looked a year older even though she was only another week older. I don't know why I helped out so much. I guess I just felt like I owed it to Bella to help out in her time of need. (Jacob never imprinted) And also because I hoped I might still have a shred of a chance with her. But I had come to terms with the fact that it was never gonna happen. She was a wife, a mother, and even worse, a vampire now. So I was done with her, and to be honest, she got a little self conceded once she turned.

I read the back of the box until I found the proper measurements for his bottle. He had become increasingly upset with my slowness and began to whimper slightly. I knew that if I didn't pick up the pace I'd soon have a very very angry little man. I quickly put the power in his bottle, shook it up and headed back to the living room before placing the bottle inside the hungry infants mouth. Instantly he began to guzzle it down.

"Slow down little man or else you'll give yourself the hiccups, now I know you've never had them before but trust me those will just piss you off. I hate them." Lucas just stared at me wide eyed as he drank.

"Stick with me kid and I could teach you soooo much." I smiled. I cast a glance back at Leah who was now fast asleep on the couch. She was so pretty when she slept. All those hard lines were now soft and peaceful. No sign of the anger she felt at the world for screwing her over so much. I sighed before turning my attention back to Lucas.

"You're lucky to have someone like her love you though. Because once she loves you she'd defend you to the end of the world." I said as I looked back up at her.

"And she needs you as much as you need her."
