Thanks for the reviews! I was really worried that I was going to get cussed out because Leah imprinted, but thanks for being understanding and still reviewing. Enjoy…
I don't own Twilight or the characters.
" Leah wake up," I felt Jacob's warm hands shaking me. I rolled over and put the pillow over my head, blocking out his voice. He yanked the pillow off my head and I groaned in annoyance.
" What time is it," I asked sitting up. Jacob just laughed and shook his head. " What's so funny?"
" Your hair is standing straight up," he said smoothing down my bed head. He seemed much happier today, which made me happier.
" This is called the sexy messy look for your information," I threw my hair and posed like I was in a photo shoot. Jacob grabbed the back of my neck and pulled me in for a passionate kiss.
" We have to get you over to your mom's, she called worried about you." Jacob said grabbing my hand and leading me to the bathroom. He started the shower and got me a towel.
" Didn't know you could be so sweet," I smiled and hopped into the hot shower. As warm as I naturally was, this shower felt wonderful. The warm water trickled down my back and loosened up the tension. I needed a shower like this if I was going to this wedding. I really hope I keep my cool and not claw the Uley's to death. As soon as I got out of the shower I began to feel that pull that I felt last night. I just had to see the baby, it was driving me insane. I tried to think of something else, like Jacob or about food. I smiled to myself as I tried to force my mind to think of other stuff. People might say that we have full control over what we think, but imprinting kind of controlled the mind sometimes. Now I knew how Jacob felt and even how Sam felt, but of course I still was not going to forgive Sam that easily. I was going to fight this stupid imprint, unlike his coward ass.
" Leah hurry up," Jacob rushed me. I rolled my eyes and wrapped the towel around my body. I stepped out of the bathroom and seen some clothes sitting on the bed for me.
" You left these here. Just put them on until we get to your house," he said with a sad look in his eyes. I went over to him and hugged him tightly, taking in his woodsy scent. "I just have my moments. I'm sorry."
" I understand you don't have to apologize Jake," I gently pecked his lips and grabbed the shirt and pants. " I don't want to start anything so I will go to the bathroom to change." I winked at him and made my way back to the bathroom.
" Dammit Leah could you call next time you decide not to come home," my mother hit me with a rolled up piece of newspaper.
" I'm sorry I wasn't thinking," I said smiling. She was really funny when she was pissed off. She glanced over at Jacob and gave him a hug.
" How are you sweetie,' she asked standing on her tip toes just to wrap her arms around him.
" I'm getting better. Just taking some time," Jacob replied.
" It does take time. Just know we are all here for you, don't be afraid to ask for anything," my mother said sweetly. She looked back at me and glared. " You are still on my shit list today Lee." She said patting my back and walking toward the kitchen.
Jacob laughed. " Next time call your mother." He put his hand on my lower back and pushed me toward the stairs. " Go get ready." I nodded and ran up the steps literally running into Seth.
" Where have you been young lady," he asked in a fatherly tone.
" That is none of your business," I smiled and pushed him aside.
" I hope you and Jacob are using protection," he yelled out before going down the steps.
"Isn't this beautiful," my mother asked as we sat down on the bench inside the church. I sighed and looked around for Jacob. Unlike me, he didn't decide to drop out of the wedding. He said he didn't agree to Sam and Emily getting married, but he would be the bigger person and be a groomsmen. " Lee?" my mother sat her hand on top of mine. " Try to be strong today. I know this is hurting you more than anything, but I am here ok?"
" Thanks, I really needed to hear that. Just stop me if I get a wild hair up my butt and want to turn this wedding inside out," I replied giving my mother's hand a light squeeze. I looked up at the alter and Sam was standing there smiling weakly.
" I will, don't worry," she whispered as the music started. I looked back to see Jacob and one of Emily's friends walking down the isle. The girl was cheesing super hard and looked like she just wanted to jump Jacob's bones. I cleared my throat and caught an elbow from my mom. Jacob smiled at me and mouthed, 'She stinks'. I laughed out loud and everyone turned their attention towards me.
" Sorry," I whispered covering my mouth. After Jacob and the 'stinky' girl, Jared and Kim came down the isle. Kim looked absolutely gorgeous and Jared just looked like…well Jared. Paul and some other chick came down the isle next, the other chick was not Rachel however. He didn't look too happy with this girl on his arm either. She was as big as an ogre and was close to Paul's height. My mother even snickered to herself as the girl pranced down the isle. Seth was next coming down the isle with Rachel and he was beaming. He always had a huge crush on Rachel, even after Paul imprinted on her. My mother pulled out her camera and snapped a shot of a widely smiling Seth. Embry and Quil made their way down the isle with girls on their arms. Little Claire dumped all her flowers on the ground and quickly ran up to Quil. It was so cute because she glared at the girl on Quil's arm. That's when the bridal music started and everyone stood up except for me.
"Leah," my mother warned. I huffed and stood up and watched Emily come down the isle. I could tell she was really nervous because she had this goofy grin on her face. She always wore that grin when she was really nervous. How long was it going to take her to get down the isle, damn? Emily smiled wider and nearly fell on her face. I had to hold back a laugh that would have probably shook this place. Emily had always been so clumsy and she always joked about tripping on her wedding day. She finally made it down the isle after about ten years.
I really can't tell you what happened at the wedding because I fell asleep. Although my mother kept nudging me, I pretended to be in a deep sleep. I wanted to drown out the 'I do's' and the ' You may kiss your bride'. I didn't want to see them skip happily down the isle. I felt a warm hand shake me slightly and I knew it was my mom trying to get me up again.
" Leah," that familiar husky voice said. I opened my eyes to see Jacob holding his hand out to me. I gratefully took it and he led me down the isle out of the church. " So you snoozed through the whole wedding?" Jacob laughed and put his arm around me.
" Yea I was sleepy anyway and plus I just didn't want to look at the overly happy couple."
" Well we don't have to go to the reception if you are tired."
" I can go. My mom might freak out and I am starving. Wedding cake sounds kind of good right now," I replied. Jacob nodded and opened the car door for me.
The reception hall was decorated with purple lilies and the table cloths were so elegant. Where the hell did they get all this money from to have such a nice wedding?
" Clearwater I could hear you snoring through the wedding," Paul said with Rachel attached to his hip.
" Don't exaggerate Paul. It's understandable Leah, my brother knows how to keep people up at night," Rachel winked and playfully hit my shoulder. Paul pretended like he was gagging and Rachel hit him in the back of the head.
" Shush Rach," Jacob said. Rachel brought him in for a tight hug. They were still mourning over the death of Billy, even though they tried to put on a happy face everyday.
" Did Becca come," I asked. Rachel and Jacob looked at each other and back at me.
" She feels really bad so she didn't even want to come for the funeral. She is taking it really hard," Rachel explained. I nodded my head sadly.
" So you thought the wedding was a slumber party huh," Embry said hitting me in the arm.
" Gosh was I that obvious?" Jacob and Embry nodded and snickered.
" Leah could I talk to you," Sam interrupted the happy moment we were having. My smile faded as he held his hand out to me.
" Uley don't start any crap," Jacob warned.
" I'm not, I just want to talk to Leah."
" Ugh why Sam," I asked annoyed. He always came at the wrong times and ruined the few times that I smiled.
" Just come Lee," he used that damn nickname again. I flinched and Jacob pushed my arm gently.
" Talk to him," Jacob whispered in my ear. I sighed and followed Sam outside of the reception hall.
"What do you want Sam," I asked annoyed. I crossed my arms over my chest and cocked my hip to the side.
"I just wanted to say sorry for everything." I opened my mouth to speak. "Listen for once. You don't know how sorry I am about all of this. If I could have had it my way, I would have chosen you. Can you find some way to forgive us Leah?"
" Look Sam, my wounds are still healing and I can't just up and forgive you and her. You both damaged me and thank goodness I didn't damage you two. I know how it feels to imprint, but I am going to fight it. I feel the pull right now, but do you see me running out of here and dumping Jake?"
Sam's eyes widened at my remark. " You…you imprinted?" I nodded my head. "On who?"
" Nessie's baby since you need to know. Are you done?" I asked.
" Well I guess so." I walked off from Sam. "Leah."
I turned back around to face him.
"I'm proud of you," was all he said.
"For what?"
" Staying strong and fighting it." I nodded and walked back into the reception hall. Jacob was waiting for me by the door.
" Aww you were lonely without me," I asked throwing my arms around his neck. His arms snaked around my waist and he smiled.
" Yea I guess so. Um Nessie just called me, apparently she wants to see you."
" What for?"
" We should go see. Plus you get to see your imprint," Jacob grabbed my hand and led me back into the hall. " But tell your mother first."
I walked over to the table where my mother was sitting with grandma Susan. "I'm going to see the Cullens. I will call you later," I said.
"Ok, be careful." she kissed my cheek.
The Cullen's house now was a mixture of scents. Of course it still reeked of the bleachy awful smell.
" Are you going to be nice today Leah," Edward asked coming into the living room.
" Hmm I might think about it , but that is very unlikely," I stated sarcastically.
"Hi Leah. Hi Jacob," Bella threw her arms around Jacob and hugged him tightly. I growl escaped from my mouth.
" I knew I could smell a she-wolf," Emmett said throwing a football in the air.
"Hi big freaky vamp." Jacob lightly nudged me.
"So where is Nessie," Jacob asked.
" Her and the pack are upstairs with the baby. Go on up there," Bella said motioning us towards the steps.
I walked up the long stair case with Jacob right on my heels. " Jake it's ok, I can handle myself." I shooed him back.
" I am not letting you go in there alone with that other pack."
" Oh there they are, come in," Nessie said from a bedroom. I slowly walked into the room and instantly became a magnet for the wolf pack.
" So it's true," one said to Adahy.
"I told you it was but you didn't want to believe me," Adahy said in a 'I told you so' tone.
Nessie came up to me with the baby in her arms. "You can hold him."
" What's the catch," I asked curious as to why she was allowing me to hold her kid.
" No catch. Here," she placed the warm baby in my arms. It was awkward holding a baby, since I had never held a newborn.
" Um Jacob could we talk for a minute," Adahy asked and the rest of his pack stood behind him.
" If the rest of your pack must be here, then so should mine," Jacob said with his hand on my back.
"Ok call them up then, we have nothing but time."
Jacob pulled out his cell phone and sent a text message out to the pack. I looked down at the baby who was staring at me. "What's his name?" I asked.
" Dakota. He seems to like you, he's blowing spit bubbles," Nessie said wiping his mouth. The baby began to babble and smile happily.
The rest of the pack was at the Cullen mansion in no time. I could tell Sam was beyond pissed because this bull crap was ruining his wedding day. Both the packs went into the woods, leaving me and Nessie alone with the baby.
" Why did you want to see me," I asked rocking the baby.
" Well I wanted to tell you that you can come see the baby anytime. Adahy explained how not seeing an imprint can drive you up a wall," she replied.
" Hmm so why did you bail on Jake? That wasn't fair at all," I asked her. She looked away from me and down at her hands.
" I wanted Jake to be with you. I didn't feel like him being with me was good enough for him. You understand him way more than I do and I see he is happier with you. I didn't want to hurt him, but I had to in order for him to be happy."
" You did a number on him, just to let you know," I replied touching the baby's face. His eyes lit up and he grabbed my finger.
" I know and I am sorry for that."
I had never seen this side of demon spawn, I never knew she could be so…human.
Bada-bing there is chapter being with her imprint and Nessie being nice. Hmm. And both wolf packs in the woods together. Take a guess on what you think will go down there.
