Leah was going to snap. If Jasper didn't get back from his hunting trip soon, she was going to go insane. Arguing with Paul usually made her feel good, but as of right now all it did was piss her off. He was going on about her and Jasper, and how worthless she was. She tried to end it occasionally, but he would just keep going on and on. Who's idiotic idea was it to put her on patrol with Paul? She was no longer bitter, but very sarcastic when it came to the pack. Gah!

I wonder what your kids' look like… Oh wait…

And Leah snapped. Her infertility was something that she was very sensitive about and Paul knew that. He wanted a reaction, oh he was getting one.

Leah snuck up on him, and tackled him. He fell to the ground, but quickly got up and growled at her.

You're going to regret that Clearwater. Paul thought.

And he lunghed for her. He grabbed her by her flank and flung her into a tree. He chuckled slightly when she shook her head before snarling and running up to him. He tried to wrap his jaw around her neck, but she quickly and gracefully dodged it and bit him on his wolfy torso as hard as she could. His howl of pain echoed in the surrounding the woods. She quickly got off him, made sure to "accidentally" walk on his right back leg, and continued with patrol. Leah's thoughts flashed to when she overheard Doctor Cullen and Sam talking about her protecting La Push during the fight.

"She's the smallest and weakest in the pack", Sam had said. Her thoughts turned to Paul, who she figured was still panting and trying to get up.

Weakest in the pack my ass, Leah thought. She now walked with a little pep in her step, and thought Jasper. It calmed her down.

But Paul always had to ruin it.

Out of absolutely nowhere, he jumped out of the bushes and tackled Leah. She was growling, and snapping her teeth at nothing, and Paul was chuckling in his mind. He grabbed her neck, and snapped his own teeth around her neck. She gritted her wolf teeth from howling, and her eyes snapped open. She had no idea she closed them. She let loose a whimper. She was so tired of all this.

Paul… stop please… Leah soon thought of Jasper arguing with Sam for her, and that made her stronger. She would let him hurt her, because she deserved it. She used to be a bitch, and all this was payback. He pinned her down, and flipped her over with a nudged of his nose. Not the nice kind of nudge more like "Flip-over-so-I-can-destroy-the-rest-of-you" kind of nudge. Soon enough, he pressed his claws to her neckline, and slowly but surely, scratched down her back. This wasn't like Paul. At all.

Leah howled in pain.

Alice and Dean smiled from the top of tree, 2 miles away. Yet they could still see the scene perfectly. Aro had big plans for the she wolf, and Alice could only see her in her visions. Who knew why? But that didn't matter at the moment. What mattered was that Dean was making sure that Paul Lahote did things to Leah that he wouldn't usually do. It was his gift, and he loved using it. They almost laughed when Leah clamped her eyes shut and phased back, with three bloody scratches down her back. Paul smirked as a wolf. Alice soon got a blank look on her face as she endured a vision.

Leah Clearwater sleeping on a bed, blankets covering her nude body. Jasper was laying next to her, holding her close. The lower half of his body was covered, and he was staring at the unconscious form of Leah. He began to hum and unknown song, and Leah cuddled closer to Jasper. Suddenly the dream shifted to a nearby window, and there stood Demetri and Jane, arguing about telling Aro about a.. baby? And Alice sitting in corner, looking very sad.

Alice's vision ended, and she smiled. Everything would go as planned… yes.

Leah woke up in her bed. She felt a breeze on her back, and she was shocked to find that she didn't have a shirt or even a bra on. She slowly got up, and a sharp pain from her back shocked her. She hissed in pain, but continued to get up anyway. She walked across the hall to the bathroom, covering her chest in fear Seth would walk by. She quickly shut the door behind her, preparing to take a shower. She walked to the cupboard for a towel, but did a double take at the mirror. She could've sworn she saw…

She slowly turned around so her back faced the mirror and gasped when she saw two long claw marks from her neckline to where the curve of her bottom started. And she remembered. Tears threatened make their appearance as she remembered the wild look in Paul's eyes, and also the satisfaction. He probably left her stranded in the woods. In fact, she didn't remember anything after screaming. She huffed, and wished for Jasper. She missed him so much it hurt.

Soon enough into her shower, she thought about his honey and cinnamon, and another unknown spice scent. The smell that made her shiver, that gave her a homey feeling, that made her feel wanted. Her tense muscles relaxed, and she turned off the not even lukewarm water (to her anyway, any normal human would be cringing from the water, it was very hot) and made herself presentable for the rest of the day. Combing her hair, that was now just above her shoulders, and put on a tank top and shorts. She hissed in pain again when her scars throbbed. She walked downstairs, and was surprised to see all of her pack in her living room except Paul. The imprints were even there. She smiled as little Claire ran up to her and hugged her leg.

"Aunty Lee-ya!" she squealed. Claire could always make Leah smile, because she was just a little sweetheart. Quil looked uncomfortable with Claire so close to Leah, but Leah would never hurt her. She loved little kids.

Leah picked up Claire and gave her raspberry kiss on her forehead. Claire giggled and did the same to Leah. Leah laughed and hugged Claire close to her before setting her down on the ground. Leah turned to Seth, and noticed everyone was looking Leah with awe in their eyes. She didn't know why, she was always like that with Claire. Just because she was a bitch to them doesn't mean she was one to everyone.

"Hey Seth, where are the pain killers?" Leah asked. She sat up straight and bit her lip from screaming. The pain on her back was almost unbearable. Why wasn't she healing?!

"Aww Leah, you getting period pains? Nah, you wish you were." Embry said. Leah ignored the stab in her heart. Two comments about her being barren in a day, a new record. She rolled her eyes and turned around to look at Seth again. He half smiled.

"On top of the refrigerator." He said. Leah nodded. She began to walk to the kitchen. But as she passed, she cuffed Embry on back of the head.

"Learn to shut up sometimes." She snapped. She walked up to the fridge and reached up. She could feel her shirt rise up. It was one of her short ones. Leah heard alot of gasps. She frowned as she grabbed a pain killer.

"What?" she asked. Sam walked up to her, and grabbed the hem of her tank top and raised it. More gasps. Little Claire ran up to Leah and slapped Sam's hand away from her shirt, and it fell and covered her back once again. Leah suppressed a laugh.

"Who hurt Aunty Lee-ya?!" she screeched. Sam looked indignant that a 3 year old slapped his hand, but he wanted to ask the same question.

"Quil, that little girl can slap as hard as Leah can punch!" Sam said, and it was true because his hand was red. Quil looked proud. Leah was sure she did too.

"Maybe she'll be a wolf too." Leah said. Then smiled. A lot of the guys looked doubtful, but Leah would be the proudest girl in La Push… probably in the whole U.S.

"I hope not." Emily said. Leah chose to ignore that comment.

"WHAT THE HELL IS THAT?!" Seth asked. Leah rolled her eyes.

"Nothing." She said.

"That is NOT nothing! Who the hell hurt my SISTER?" Seth yelled. Claire hid behind Leah's leg in fear, and Leah glared at Seth.

Leah covered Claire's ears in fear she'd go hunt Paul down and slap him too. Knowing Paul, he'd beat up Leah more, and she didn't want that.

"Me and Paul the Jackass got into a fight. It's nothing. Where is he anyway?" She handing Claire to Quil. He held her ears as more yelling began.

"Paul did that?"- Jared

"I'M GOING TO KILL THAT SON OF A BITCH!"-Seth

"Should we ask Carlisle to look at it?"-Jacob (of course)

"Why hasn't it healed yet?"-Sam

"Sue'll want to hear about this…"-Quil

"Wait wait wait. Hold up. Why are you all here anyway?" Leah asked. Everyone stopped talking and looked guilty.

Sam stepped up.

"We were talking about me and Emily's wedding. We're getting married in a few months and we announced it a few minutes before you woke up." Sam said. Leah smiled. A true genuine smile. Every (again) gasped when she hugged Sam.

"Congratulations." She said softly. Sam's eyes softened. His Lee Lee was back.

She practically ran over to Emily, and hugged her tight.

"You're getting married! Oh my gosh! Congrats!" Leah couldn't stop smiling. She was so happy for them. She then got a whiff of his scent. She smiled at Emily before getting the door. She practically squeezed Jasper's eyes out as she enveloped him in a tight hug. He wore a simple white t shirt and jeans. No shoes. She pecked his lips for a second before frowning.

"Why were you gone so long!" She said. Jasper smirked at her.

"My apologies ma'am." He said in his southern accent. Her eyes softened, and she smiled. She punched him in the gut though before walking over to the counter where her pain killers lay.

Everyone looked at Jasper in awe. He made Leah so happy, something they had been trying to do for years, and he had done it within the time frame of 2 months. He followed her to the kitchen and frowned.

"What are those for?" he asked.

Seth, (still hilariously furious) walked over to them both.

"Well Jasper my good man, a very temperamental man did this to my very kind yet bitchy sister." he said with a hint of sarcasm before raising the back of her tank top. Jasper's eyes zeroed in on the tree claw marks on her back, and his eyes narrowed.

"Whoever this 'temperamental man' is he better run for the hills if he knows what's good for him." Jasper whispered through gritted teeth. Leah snorted at the thought of Paul running away and looking back the whole time like the girls in horror movies did, and took the pill. When she was done, she was snorting more and more, trying to muffle her laughter. She soon couldn't do it, and burst out laughing. She soon was clutching her sides.

Jasper looked skeptical, as did everyone else, except for Claire. She toddled over to Jasper. Quil tried to hold her back since Jasper was a vampire, but she continued. She tripped a little, but Jasper caught her before she could fall. He inspected her arms to make sure she wasn't hurt, and set her down. Claire shyly smiled at him before getting to business. She put a stern look on her face.

"You make Aunty Lee-ya happy again." Claire said. Jasper nodded.

"She makes me happy too." He said. His playfully stern look was fading; he was trying hard not to smile.

"If you make her sad, will you be sad?" Claire asked. Jasper nodded. He hated when Leah looked unhappy. Especially if it's because of him.

"Okay." She said simply, before hugging Jasper tight. He chuckled as he felt her little arms wrap around his neck. He picked her up and hugged her too. Gently though, he didn't want to hurt her. Leah joined in on the hug. Soon enough Emily was wiping her eyes and hugging them all too. Then Seth. Collin and Brady looked at each other, shrugged simultaneously, and hugged then all too. Then Sam, Quil, Jared, Jacob, Kim, Renesmee, and Embry.

When they all broke away, they all sat down in their previous spots. Claire sat in Quil's lap and began to fall asleep. Her job was done.

Leah smiled. A few years ago, when Sam had told her the pack was family, she snorted, and said "Yeah but every family has someone who doesn't belong." And Emily said it wasn't true. Now she knew they were both right. Wolf pups would cuddle to keep warm, and they had just acted as if they were.

Jasper put an arm around Leah's waist as they leaned against the counter.

Emily spoke up.

"Now that we're done with that, I'd like to ask Leah something." She turned to Leah. "Would you like to be the Maid of Honor?" Emily asked. She looked nervous. Leah smiled hugely and nodded.

Emily's face lit up, and so did Sam's. All Leah needed was for someone to love her to go back to normal. Emily wiped her eyes, and she ran up to Leah and hugged her.

"I'm getting a lot of hugs today.." she whispered. Everyone laughed. They continued to talk about the wedding, and Leah was silently hoping no one would ask her about her scars, until someone named Paul Lahote and Rachel Black came in the house. Rachel glared at Paul before walking over to Leah and pulling her tank top up. When she saw the claw marks, she walked up to Paul, punched him in the face, and walked out the house. Paul followed.

"Sacrebleu…" Collin whispered. Everyone turned to him. Leah rolled eyes.

"In other words, damn." She said.

"Did he do that to you?" Jasper asked. She bit her lip and looked away. 2.5 seconds later, Renesmee's parents walked in.

"Yes. Paul did injure Leah." Edward Cullen said. Bella was by his side scanning the room for Renesmee. When she spotted her, she nodded at Jacob. He smiled his huge goofy smile at her.

"I was trying not to tell him Eddie." She sighed. Edward shrugged.

"Rachel is quite angry with him. Paul doesn't know what came over him. It's like someone was… controlling him or something." Edward had a zoned out look on his face. He was reading their minds.

"He took Leah home when she blacked out; he was ashamed he did something like that. He cleaned the wounds and made sure that she was comfortable before leaving." He said.

"I did wake up on my stomach without a shirt or bra." Leah said nodding. Jasper shifted uncomfortably. Leah, realizing was she said, smacked him on his arm.

"Perv." She said. Her face was turning crimson.

"Someone get a camera! Leah Clearwater is blushing!" Embry whispered. She cuffed him on the back of his head again.

"Ow…" he said, rubbing his head.

"It's fine though. I deserve it." Leah said. She was smacked on the arm by Seth.

"What the hell was that for?" She growled. Seth was smirking, but it didn't reach his eyes. He was furious. So was Jasper. And Sam.

"You don't deserve that!" they all said.

"You wouldn't be saying that about 2 months ago." She said coolly. Jacob looked guilty. Renesmee looked confused. Even Bella looked angry at Leah.

"How could you say something like that? You were right for how you acted. You were trying to do what was best for the pack. If you'd been depressed, it would make the rest of the pack depressed. You endured them calling you names and horrible things, and kept your head up and ignored it all. I wouldn't have been able to do it. You hid your emotions with anger, and I envy you for that. For Pete's Sake, Rosalie even is proud when she doesn't even know you!" Bella shouted. Leah was shocked. How'd she figure her out so easily?

"How'd you figure me out so easily?" Leah voiced her thoughts. Jasper entwined their hands and squeezed for comfort. He must've felt her shame.

"Don't be ashamed. The pack is grateful for you doing that." Jasper said. Before Leah knew it, she was envolped in a HUGE hug. Seven pairs of hot arms were wrapped around her, and she would've rolled her eyes if she could.

"Leah… can't breathe!" she gasped. Once they broke apart, Leah said,

"Next time it's individual hugs okay?"

Jasper laughed and enveloped her in another hug.

"I go first." he whispered before gently kissing her.
