A/N: Here is the new chapter, thank my beta Ogremen on any improvements, sorry for the delay I had to do a phil quiz which I got 70% in so was able to crank this chapter out last night, as always I own nothing the characters belong to their respective owners.

Chapter 6: Arguments, Family Bonding and a Miracle

LPOV

After their date on Sunday night, where the innocent kiss quickly devolved into something more, until Harry remembered that there was a teenager and a small child asleep upstairs. After that he had quickly stopped, however the pair had spent a better portion of the night snuggled up on the swing sharing lingering kisses until they fell asleep in early morning. Harry had awoken first, having to get Teddy to school and himself to work, whilst Leah needed to head back to the Cullens' house and get an update on the situation involving the coming meeting with the Volturi.

As Leah was leaving, Harry kissed her goodbye when suddenly they were interrupted by excited squeals coming from the stairs.

"Come over tonight?" Harry murmured to Leah who was still in his arms. Leah nodded her head and pecked him one last time and left the house knowing if she didn't then she wouldn't be able to control herself, Teddy needed to go to school and Harry needed to get to work. The thought crossed her mind, the idea of grabbing him and locking themselves away in his room was very tempting. As Leah drove up to the Cullens' house she realised that for the early hour she felt oddly refreshed and well-rested though she'd only had a few hours' sleep.

She quickly dismissed these thoughts, attributing it to spending the night curled up next to her imprint. As she walked into the Cullens' house with a spring in her step she noticed Carlisle on the phone in the living room.

"Ok thanks, I appreciate it" he murmured hanging up the phone. The blonde vampire sighed and sank into the couch looking quite exhausted for a vampire.

"You ok?" Leah found herself in shocked asking him that. Carlisle looked just as surprised at the question as Leah found herself. 'Had she actually just shown concern for a Leech?' she found herself thinking. Carlisle was looking up at her in a way that she found disconcerting, searching for something she didn'tknow what though, and after a moment he seemed to have found whatever it was he was looking for, sighing again and leaning back into the sofa before speaking.

"We've got help coming in from around the world, we have vampire's travelling from all across the globe…and I fear all I'm doing is risking their lives, and not asking for their help," Carlisle said, obviously conflicted, his compassionate nature showing through.

"We can do this," Leah found herself shocked by both her words and the conviction in her voice before she continued to speak "I don't know how, but we'll stop the Volturi, no-one is going to die."

"You seem awfully convinced," Carlisle replied smiling at the young shape shifter and Leah just smiled back at him in response.

"I have to be because otherwise…I can't think about the alternative," Leah said, the pain of being torn away from Harry, so soon after finding him, and losing the makeshift family she had found herself apart of joining when she had broken from Sam's pack.

"He's changed you…your different," Carlisle replied to her continuing to speak ensuring she wouldn't interrupt him, "And that's not a bad thing, you're not the same person you were a year ago, you're not even the same person you were yesterday. That's good as long as you don't forget all the people that you used to be," showing the wisdom he had acquired over his many centuries.

"Jake doesn't seem to think so," Leah replied to him. Carlisle merely smiled at her.

"We both know the incredible strain he's under…how would you feel if the Volturi were threatening Harry like they were Nessie?" he asked her, just the thought sending her heart pounding away in fear. She looked away from the vampire, realising his point. Sounds from upstairs broke the pair out of their conversation.

"Thanks for the conversation Carlisle," Leah said to him as Jake appeared walking down the stairs with a sleepy Nessie in his arms.

"Hey Leah, your awake early," he said to her smiling as Nessie touched his cheek communicating her thoughts through her gift. Jake laughed at her and sat her down in her high chair, a new addition to the Cullens kitchen table and then he started to prepare the porridge for her.

"I didn't hear you come in last night, come to think of either," Jake continued as he brought the porridge to the young half-vampire, smirking at his Beta as the redness from her cheeks covered her face.

"Leah you sly-dog," he said to her winking as he fed Nessie and teased Leah at the same time.

"You spent the night with your imprint," she found herself responding before continuing hoping to change the subject "Speaking of which, where are Bella and Edward?"

"They wanted a night to themselves," Jake said to as he finished up feeding Nessie and walking over to the sink to wash out her bowl, smirking at her.

"My imprint is a child and I don't have those kind of feelings for her yet" he said, wagging a soapy spoon at her.

"You however spent the night with your older imprint, or is it boyfriend now?" he said cheekily to his beta causing a full blush to erupt on her tanned skin. Leah realised with a start they hadn't actually had that conversation yet, between falling asleep and waking up in the morning, they had forgotten to make that distinction yet.

"Umm, I'm not sure…I got a little distracted," Leah said averting her gaze away from Jake as he started to laugh, Leah didn't think her face could get any redder than it was at moment.

"Oh my god, you could of given Bella a run for her money with that blush," he said between laughter, causing Leah to reach out and punch him in arm hard, making him wince in pain. Bella and Edward chose that moment to enter the room, Edward smirking at Jake as he picked up his daughter from her highchair and sitting down at the table. Bella came to stand beside Jake, a threatening look on her face causing him to gulp in fear.

"What was that Jake," her red eyes glaring at her best friend as he ran towards his imprint and her father. Edward chuckled from where he was sitting as Jake sat down next to him.

"He was just saying that Leah's blush might beat the ones that were on your face when you were human," he said to his wife. Leah walked around to stand beside Bella adopting her feature's staring at the Vampire and her Alpha making them gulp in fear.

"So Leah, did you find out anything about Harry?" Jake said hoping to change the subject and dig himself out of the hole he had dug for himself, Edward now sharing his slightly fearful look as his wife and Leah both stared at them with pissed of looks on their faces.

"We have them trained well," Leah said to Bella as she smirked in response to her comment. Leah looked at Jake, letting him sweat for a few more moments before smiling, wanting to share the night she'd had with Harry.

"Yeah he talked about the boarding school he attended, and some his friends he'd made there," Leah said to him causing him to frown at her.

"That's not what I mean," Jake said, a slight edge to his voice "You were supposed to look for anything suspicious, see if there was anything that could help us against the Volturi." Edward sensing the argument that was about to erupt, picked up Nessie and took her from the room, whilst Bella tried to give Jake a warning look.

"It slipped my mind," Leah replied a tone in her voice telling him to drop the subject, "I'll keep an eye out the next time I'm over."

"Oh yeah, like you did last night…tell me was the sex before dinner, or a part of desert?" Jake spat at her causing Leah to swiftly slap him across the face using her supernatural strength.

"Jake that's out of line," Bella exclaimed at her best friend, causing Jake to snap his face to look at her.

"The Volturi are coming to kill Nessie, we need every advantage we can get," Jake said in response.

"What can one mortal man do against the Volturi, even if he can somehow produce a shield with magic, which is a guess based on dream I had and a vision given from a psychic vampire," she screamed at him. By now everyone in the household, except for Edward and Nessie, were watching the evolving fight.

"It's a hell of a lot more, what if he can do more than just a shield, what if he can attack them," Jake screamed back at her.

"So what, I have to sacrifice my imprint, so yours can live?" Leah finally snapped, pushing him back in frustration. Jake came back to stand in front of his beta a challenging look in his eyes. Jasper chose that moment to walk up to the pair, trying to break up the fight.

"We're all stressed, but now isn't the time to turn on each other," Jasper said, using him empathic abilities to calm the situation.

"I'm out of here," Leah said, frustrated and needing space from the Cullens and Jake, at that moment she stormed out of the house knocking into Jake and slamming the door behind her.

Harry had been finishing some paperwork thinking to himself that if he had known there was going to be this much when he took the job, he would have stayed a field Auror. As he was preparing to leave for his lunch break, thinking of the previous night and smiling to himself, his phone rang. Checking it and seeing Leah on the caller ID, he answered before the third ring.

Hey, I was just thinking about you," Harry said warmly into the phone. When all he heard was breathing on the other end he grew concerned.

"Leah, is everything ok?" Harry asked suddenly, already preparing himself to apparate to Forks, not caring if he had to smash his way through the wards that were put up around their home and finding her himself.

"Yeah," she murmured in a choked voice, "I just had a really bad fight with a friend…and I needed to hear your voice…I'm sorry, you're probably busy." Harry laughed at her warmly hoping to indicate his happiness at hearing her voice.

"You're saving me from paperwork demons…and I always have time for you," he said into the phone.

"We never had the chance to really talk much last night," Leah replied after a couple of moments, sounding less upset.

"Yeah we didn't did get to talk about us…but I thought it was a given, you know cause of the 'second date' and…the porch the, we were-you know…seeing each other type thing," Harry said tripping over his words slightly.

"Wow, nice way to make a girl feel special," Leah replied laughing into the phone.

"It got you to laugh didn't it? And you never answered, we are seeing each other right?" Harry asked, a slight tone of vulnerability showing through his voice.

"Well, I don't kiss just anyone and spend the night with them do I?" Leah asked in answer, laughing over the phone.

"Good answer, now are you feeling better?" Harry asked glad he could hopefully bring her out of her bad mood.

"I am thanks." she said pausing for a moment.

"I really don't want to see my friend, and he's sort of my roommate so it's sort of unavoidable," she responded.

"I'd offer for you to stay at my house-but you know with Bree and Teddy it's a little packed at the moment," Harry said into the phone. He was slightly panicked, if Leah saw his scars she would start to ask questions he wasn't ready to answer, no matter how much his heart was telling him otherwise.

"It's ok, I understand," Leah replied to him.

"Why don't you spend the night at your mum's house?" Harry asked causing Leah to pause.

"You remember Charlie Swann, right?" Leah asked getting brief 'Yeah,' before she continued, "Their sort of seeing each other and she's spending the night there."

"Bit weirdered out still?" Harry asked.

"Yeah…I mean, don't get me wrong, I love Charlie… it's just weird," she exclaimed back to him as he started to laugh at her.

"Maybe you should go and spend some time with them, get used to it?" Harry asked her causing her to sigh.

"Yeah I guess…and if there was a guy I'd want her going after, it would be with Charlie," Leah said to him.

"Go, spend time with your mum, get away from your dick of a roommate," he said causing her to laugh.

"Thanks Harry," she said once her laughter died down.

"Anytime, and I mean that Leah," he replied. They said their goodbyes and Harry stood up from his chair, quite shocked to see forty-five minutes had passed. 'Crap, I'm late for the afternoon briefing with team 2,' Harry thought, collecting his papers and rushing out the door, his lunch break forgotten.

As Leah pulled up outside Charlie's Swann's small two story white house, she could hear her mother doing the dishes and smiled despite herself. After Leah had gotten off the phone with Harry she had stayed on the beach, just staring at the waves of La Push smiling to herself. She had called her mother then, asking if it was alright if she came over and spent the night. Her mother had been concerned at first, but after her daughter had explained the situation she had sworn, and told her she was more than welcome.

As Leah got out of her beat-up car, she noticed that her car was the only car at the residence. Her mother had given her the car she had arrived in on her eighteenth birthday. "For when you need to escape for a bit," she had told her when had handed her the keys. 'Charlie must still be at work,' Leah mused to herself as she walked to the front door, checking the handle and finding it unlocked, she entered the house.

As soon as she entered a sense of peace washed over her, over the years Charlie had become something of an 'Uncle' to her, and she had many fond memories of the time she'd spent there in the past.

"Leah is that you?" her mother asked walking out of kitchen, smiling and giving her a swift. Leaning back Sue Clearwater looked over her daughter and the tired expression on her face.

"What's wrong Leah?" she asked gently, knowing how skittish her daughter had become in discussing her emotions after what had happened with Sam. It suddenly was too much and her daughter sighed, walking into the kitchen and sitting at the table. Leah explained the stress of last couple of months, dealing with the newborn situation and Victoria, then Jake breaking awake from the pack, and now the Volturi were on their way. Sue had made some tea for the both of and them and as Leah finished her tail she was staring into the tea.

"What about your imprint?" Sue asked making her daughter smile for the first time since the conversation had started.

"We had a date last night and I called him before I came over…we're a couple now," Leah said causing her mother to hug her in delight, finally her daughter had found some peace. Leah frowned for a moment causing her mother to look concerned.

"What is it?" her mother asked. Leah struggled for a moment debating whether to tell her mother about Alice's vision and her dream. Deciding against telling her the full story she went with asking her mother a question instead.

"What if he's hiding something? He has so many secrets and he's so closed off about his past that it's frustrating at times? I don't know what do?" her mother asked finally admitting to her mother what she hadn't said to anyone else.

"Do you think he's a good man?" Sue asked causing Leah to pause and think for a moment. She had seen him care for a young child that wasn't his at a young age, he had even taken in another orphan just days ago, and then she thought of their conversations. He had never done anything to make her feel afraid, and when he had asked for time until they had that conversation she realised that he could have lied to her. Instead he had told her the truth; he wasn't ready, but he would be one day.

"Yeah he is," Leah replied confident in her answer. Her mother smiled at her in response to her statement.

"Then give him time, the rest will fall into place if you do," her mother said. Just then the front door opened breaking up their conversation, Charlie had finally come home from work.

"You home Sue?" came his voice from the living room. Her mother replied with "Kitchen," and then Charlie appeared shocked at seeing Leah when he entered, before his face broke out into a smile.

"Hey Leah, haven't seen you in a while," Charlie said walking over to her, before stopping, suddenly unsure of himself. Leah smiled and jumped out of the chair giving him a warm hug.

"I know, I thought I'd come over…spend the night, if that's alright?" Leah asked a little unsure, her mother had said it was fine, but now that Charlie was here she was a little afraid she was intruding.

"Of course Leah, you know you're always welcome any time," Charlie replied, walking to Sue and giving her a kiss on the cheek. 'Yep, still weird…but I better get used to it,' Leah thought to herself. After that her mother had shooed them both out of the room, citing she had to start dinner, and neither of them would be any help. Charlie and she had watched a baseball came, talking about recent events. When Leah had told him of Harry, he'd slightly surprised her by saying Harry had come into the station as a courtesy call, and then they'd shared breakfast, bonding over their shared career path in Law enforcement.

When her mother had called them for dinner, the three shared the small table in the cramped kitchen. The entire thing made Leah smile, warming up to the relationship between the two other adults as they gently held hands during dinner. Leah had often worried about Charlie, before Bella had moved in, he had spent a large portion of his time probably eating dinner alone. And then after Bella had gotten married he been left alone again, and suddenly she was grateful that Charlie and her mother had found each other in their lives.

After dinner Charlie and Sue had turned into bed, Charlie had offered Leah Bella's old bed which Leah promptly refused. She could still smell the stench of Edward coming from upstairs, and had no desire to spend the night sleeping in it. When Leah had laid her head down she fell asleep instantly, tired from the day's events.

Leah recognised the hallway from the previous day however the door to Harry's cell was open and she could see his slumped form still tied to the chair. Suddenly she started to sprint towards him, not knowing why, just that she needed to get to him. As she stepped into the room, she was again horrified by what she saw. Harry had numerous cuts, his right shoulder jutting out in a way that told

Leah it was dislocated. His right hand was a mess, his fingers broken and sticking out at odd angles from his hand, and there was two deep cuts on his back and she noticed the rather large pool of blood.

Suddenly Harry lost balance in the chair, falling face first into his own blood. His breathing was starting to grow weaker and he could barely keep his eyes open. Leah fell to her knees frustrated when she couldn't touch him. He was bleeding to death in front of her eyes, and all Leah could do was look on helplessly. Suddenly there was a bang from outside the room, followed by several explosions coming from somewhere in the building.

"Potter!" someone screamed from the corridor. "He's in here," Leah screamed forgetting that no one could hear her. Harry's eyes snapped open, hearing the voice calling his name.

"Here…here…HERE," harry said in a whisper before repeating himself, his voice growing with each word he spoke. Suddenly there was a figure rushing into the room, making Leah spill tears in relief, dressed in robes however unlike the previous figure, he was dressed in dark blue robes, with what appeared to be a badge on the breast pocket.

"Jesus Potter…Healer get in here, we found him, but he's really messed up," the robed man said taking out a stick like the other man, however instead of inflicting pain, he swiped down the back of the chair and bindings fell away. Suddenly things started to grow hazy and Leah knew the dream was coming to an end.

HPOV

It was late and Harry was out on the porch sitting in swing trying to relax from his day. Harry had arrived home very late. After his conversation with Leah and his meeting he'd returned to the office hoping to get through his paperwork and get out early. His hopes were crushed when Gellel had opened his office and said the simple statement of, "We've got a body," making Harry sag in defeat.

Harry had spent the better part of the afternoon, and a good chunk of the evening, and so, realising that he wouldn't be getting home anytime soon, had called home and told Bree to order some pizza for Teddy telling her where he kept the emergency money, and then informing her there was a blood potion for her in the cabinet above the sink. After the phone call, Harry had gotten back to his work liaising with the local mundane police department and co-ordinating who would be the response team.

He had finally left office had around ten, the investigation being headed up by his deputy. They needed to prove they were able to deal with crime in a swift manner to prove the need for the newly opened Auror department. When Harry had arrived home, Teddy was curled up on the sofa sleeping with Bree who was watching a trashy show on MTV. After putting Teddy to bed and talking briefly with Bree about how her cravings were, "Pretty good actually, what with those potions," she had gone into her room, Harry hearing the TV being turned on.

After that Harry had grabbed the bottle of fire whiskey from where he stored it in a hidden compartment, he'd walked out onto the porch and sat down in the swing, slowly nursing his glass of. He'd been out there for a few hours, trying to let the stress of the day out. Suddenly a car driving up to the house broke him out of his thoughts. He recognised it instantly as Leah's, and suddenly concerned, he stood up and walked down to meet her as she exited the car.

"Hey is everythin-oomph," Harry started to speak when suddenly Leah had leapt on him, wrapping her arms around him, and snuggled as close as she could get to his neck, Harry noticed she seemed to be sniffing him. Harry wrapped his arms around her, holding her as close as he possibly could.

"I'm sorry…I know it's late I just…this is stupid, I'm sorry, I just had a bad dream and really needed to see you," she replied to him causing him to stiffen slightly. 'Had the memory sharing already started?' Harry thought to himself.

"Was it about me?" Harry finally asked her, causing her to stiffen in shock in his arms. She backed up in his arms to look at his face, trying to understand how he knew that. She nodded in response causing him sigh. He didn't have a lot of positive memories, sure Hogwarts was great at first, but then it had been marred by too much bloodshed and bad memories. He felt guilty for putting her through the horror she had obviously gone through recently, and slowly he started to lead her towards the house, and as they entered the house Harry paused and turned to Leah.

"My room's the first one upstairs on the right, I'll be up in a sec," he murmured to her gently, pushing her towards the stairs. As Harry walked around the house, locking the doors and starting to head upstairs, he started to slightly hyperventilate. He turned into the bathroom, needing to gather his composure. As he went through his nightly routine like normal, he was trying to decide on what to do. He usually only wore a pairing of sleep pants to bed. Finally deciding on what to do Harry took off his shirt and put on his pants walking into his bedroom.

The lights were off, the only light in the room came from the slight moonlight that was breaking through the heavy cloud cover. Leah was curled up on is bed, her back facing him and obviously upset. As Harry climbed into bed Leah instantly turned, throwing a leg over one of his and laying her head down in the crook of his neck, Harry put his arm around her allowing her to get as close to him as possible. Harry was stiff, not having been this close to a woman in several years. Slowly her hands started to move in little circles, tracing his skin as if she was trying to catalogue every inch of it.

When Leah leaned up and slowly kissed the scar on his neck, where one of his more violent scars was, he tensed up for moment before becoming putty in her hands. Leah spent the next hour tracing all the scars on his chest, kissing the more gruesome ones, slowly reassuring that they didn't matter to her. And that's how Harry found himself drifting off, Leah's soft hands slowly healing his scared body and soul.

"Leah," said a voice, breaking through Leah's dream and suddenly there was a large weight on her. Opening her eyes she was confused for a moment, she was lying in unfamiliar bed, until Teddy came into focus jumping on it.

"When did you get here?" Teddy asked noticing Leah's eyes were now open, "Did you and Harry have a sleepover? Why wasn't I invited?" he continued making Leah reach over and start to tickle him.

"It was a surprise, now where's you uncle?" Leah said stick tickling the boy, whilst he laughed and tried to squirm away.

"Ok…ok he's...downstairs...making you...breakfast, told me...to come and...Get you," Teddy said in-between gasps, causing Leah to stop tickling him.

"Let's go then, shall we?" Leah said, getting out of the bed and picking Teddy up, and pulling him by the shoulders, led him out of the room and down the stairs. When Leah and Teddy walked by the couches in the lounge room, Leah noticed Bree sitting on one watching a movie.

"Hey Leah, sleep well?" the teen asked, sending her a cheeky smile. Deciding there was no point in hiding anything from either the teen or the child, Leah decided to respond.

"Yeah I did actually, what are you watching?" Leah asked her. Bree looked up at her and shrugged her shoulders.

"Just channel surfing, waiting for you to get up," Bree replied. Harry chose that moment to walk out of the kitchen and into the room. Spotting that Leah was awake, Harry walked up to her and gave her a small peck on her lips.

"Hi, just in time breakfast, it's ready," Harry murmured backing away and leading Teddy and Leah into the kitchen. When Leah spotted the time on the clock in the kitchen, she panicked slightly.

"Harry its nine-thirty, Teddy's late for school, and you're late for work," Leah exclaimed, "Oh, I know I shouldn't have come over," she finished causing Bree to laugh from behind her.

"Actually, I've taken the day off…I forget in the rush of getting Bree that-well haven't you noticed that she's been wearing the same thing for the last three days?" Harry said in a shy voice, a very sheepish look on his face. He'd dished up three plates of eggs, bacon, toast and hash browns, he placed them at the table indicating that she and Teddy should dig in. As Leah began eating, Bree took a seat next to her, whilst Teddy and Harry were sitting on the opposite side of the table.

"Harry said that he'd take me shopping for clothes and stuff for my room," Bree said from next to her in a slightly choked voice, obviously touched by the gesture.

"Yeah, and well, I have no sense of fashion," Harry replied "So I thought that if you're not busy, you'd like to come?" Harry asked. Leah smiled at him nodding her head.

"So where are we going, Seattle?" Leah asked as she was eating. Good god her imprint could cook, almost as well as her mother...maybe better. Harry shook his head, taking a sip of juice before continuing.

"We were thinking Port Angeles, it's a little smaller, but has enough shops to get everything she needs," Harry replied. After that conversation died down, the small makeshift family spent the rest of the meal in peace. Once they had finished Leah had started to gather the dishes whilst Harry picked Teddy up and took him upstairs for the upcoming trip. Bree just smirked at the pair, knowing she was having a little glimpse of the future.

As the foursome left the house and hopped into Harry's car Leah called shotgun, "getting a not fair" from Bree and a laugh out of Teddy. As they hopped in the car and started to make their way to Port Angeles Leah started to get to know Bree a little better. She found the girl to smart and witty, able to talk about things far beyond her years. Leah felt herself warming up to Harry's newest ward as they discussed what they were going to buy for her whilst Harry looked on slightly fearful; the list they were making was starting to get pretty long.

Harry looked on slightly fearful; the list they were making was starting to get pretty long. When they finally did arrive the girls had built up a lot of excitement about the trip, rushing out and towards the first shop they saw.

"Uncle Harry, is this normal?" Teddy asked looking up from his uncle as the pair watched Bree and Leah walk into the clothes shop.

"Honestly Teddy, never ever interrupt a woman shopping trust me when I say this and remember" Harry said looking down at him.

"If a woman ever asks for your opinion on clothes just nod your head and agree with whatever they were saying" Harry said to the young child causing him to nod his head seriously.

"Come on we better catch up" Harry said taking his hand and walking into the clothes shop. Leah and Bree were walking up and down the aisles trying to find clothes that would look good on Bree. After they had finished at the clothes shop, their next stop had been a furniture shop, then a tech shop to get Bree a laptop. They stopped for lunch before Bree said since Leah had helped she had get some clothes for herself.

This had led to a slight bit of embarrassment until Leah explained that she'd didn't really have money for clothes. Harry had taken his much abused credit card and handed it Bree and said to buy whatever she thought would look good on Leah. This had led to a slight argument until Harry explained that he rather well off and that money didn't mean the same thing to him that it meant to other people. She had tried to fight him more on the issue but he chose that moment to kiss her rendering her ability to think rather moot. Afterwards he'd asked getting a nod in response, Leah not even listening to him. Bree quickly dragged her hand away started her to lead her back towards talking to her about what colours she would be in.

Once they were finished shopping after buying ten new outfits, a new computer and a leather jacket that fit her perfectly. After putting the shopping in the car and locking it up Harry said they would be getting ice cream and then they would head back to Forks. As Harry and Leah stood on the rail of the boardwalk looking out over the ocean while Bree and Teddy picked up ice cream from the stand just behind them.

"Thank you Harry" Leah murmured from her spot next to him, looping her arm through his and resting her head on his shoulder. Harry rested his cheek on top and sigh pulling her closer.

"I take it you and Bree had fun?" Harry asked getting a nod in response. Harry sighed in relief, rubbing his cheeks against her hair.

"I'm glad you and Bree are getting along" he said after a moment's silence. Leah leaned back to look him in the eye.

"They are your family Harry…and Bree is great" Leah replied to him. Harry smiled, leaning down to kiss her gently. Gagging noises from behind them broke the couple apart. Teddy was saying gross and pretending to be sick, while Bree held their ice-creams smiling at the pair.

"That's gross Uncle Harry" Teddy said taking his ice cream, jumping quickly to avoid Harry hands swiping at him.

"Yeah, yeah you little brat I'll remember that when you get your first girlfriend" Harry said Bree handed him and Leah their ice creams.

"I think it's sweet…you guys make a great couple" Bree said excitingly as Leah came around and wrapped her arms around her shoulder.

"Thank you Bree" Leah to the girl wrapping an arm around her shoulder causing her to smile at her. Harry gathered Teddy up, throwing him up onto his shoulders making him squeal in delight. Harry wrapped his arm around Leah's shoulder and started to walk them towards the car, to passer-by they looked every bit a family. As they reached the car Leah received a test from Jake. It simply said SOS and to get back to the Cullen's as soon as she could.

"Crap I have to get home" Leah murmured to her. Harry had a concerned look on his face, before he started to speak.

"Everything ok?" Harry asked. Leah nodded her head back at him, trying to hide the fear she felt.

'"Yeah my mum just wants me home for a family dinner" she replied to him, feeling guilty for having to lie to him.

"Alright I'll drop you off" Harry said, starting the car and pulling out into the road. Once they had reached Forks Leah had directed Harry's to Charlie's house, dropping her off just after the sun had fallen below the horizon beneath the constant cloud cover of Forks. Kissing him on the cheek she hopped out of the car and started to walk towards the front door. Once she heard his car pull away she ran into the forest, undressing quickly not wanting to damage the new clothes Harry had bought her.

Phasing into her wolf form, she took off in the direction of the Cullen household, realising that she heard no-one made her even more concerned, why was no-one phased. Arriving at the Cullen's house ten minutes later, she phased dressing quickly walking into the Cullen house.

Everyone was gathered there, Sam and Jake's pack, the Cullen family, Rosalie and Emmet having arrived back and all of the witness they had gathered.

"What is it?" Leah asked. Jake looked up at her from his seat on the couch, despair clear in his eyes.

"The Volturi accelerated their arrival, friend informed me they would be arriving Thursday" Carlisle said from where he stood beside Esme. Leah fell back in shock, it was too soon they had barely gathered any witnesses. Looking around at Alice she need to know if the vision had changed at all. Shaking her head she responded.

"No just that we have less people standing with us" Alice murmured making everyone fall silent. Suddenly Carlisle phone started to ring, looking at it for a moment before he answered.

"Hello" he murmured tiredly into the phone. A voice he hadn't heard in over two centuries responded down the phone line.

"Carlisle in's Sanguini I understand you looking for me" said the caller. Everyone in the room sucked in a breath at once; they had actually been able to find him.

"Yes I am we have a bit of a situation" Carlisle said quickly putting the phone on speaker. A maniacal laugh responded down the phone line.

"Yes I heard about your situation…but I'm afraid I must decline and the Volturi and I…well we don't get alone" Sanguini said deflating everyone in the room.

"Alright can you please just answer some questions, my daughter Alice had a vision of a figure arriving at the meeting with a stick, saying Latin and appearing to conjure up a shield and I remembered that conversation we had-the one where you told me if someone ever had a stick on me I should run" Carlisle said into the phone causing silence on the other end for a few moments.

"Has anyone arrived in Forks recently…someone from Law Enforcement?" Sanguini asked causing a ripple of shock to go through the room. Harry Leah thought to himself, but what was the connection between him and centuries old vampire.

"Yes and FBI agent moved to town a little under a week ago…his name's Harry Potter" Carlisle replied into the phone. There was a moment of silence before laughter erupted from the phone causing more shock and confusion in the Cullen household.

"Oh Carlisle this I must see when do they arrive?" Sanguini asked once he had stopped laughing.

"Three day's Sanguini who is Harry Potter?" Carlisle asked, causing to Sanguini laugh even more.

"I'll be seeing you in three days Carlisle…oh this is going to be good" Sanguini laughed before the phone went dead.
