I do not own Twilight or the characters!
" She is up by the border. Her father dropped her off at the roadside, close to the main highway," I said hanging up my cell phone.
" Why did he drop her off there," Jacob asked getting up off the couch.
" I don't have a clue as to what is going on. Can you come with me though," I asked.
" Duh Leah. I am not going to let you go out there alone. What kind of boyfriend would I be then," Jacob laughed and grabbed my hand. He opened the car door for me and I got into the Rabbit.
" I wonder why she didn't call Sam. I mean that is her husband, why did she call me?"
Jacob started the car and pulled off. " Maybe she is afraid of what Sam might say. She probably thinks that he is mad at her."
" Yea I guess. I should call my mom and tell her I heard from her," I replied dialing my home number.
" Hello," my mother sounded like she was out of breath.
" Hey mom, I heard from Emily. Me and Jake are going to get her, she is by the border."
" Is she okay? Why did she disappear like that?" My mother was always the type to be the worrier, especially when it came to family.
" She didn't say, she didn't sound okay though. I will call you once we get her," I said.
" Okay, bye."
" Bye mama." I hung up the phone and stuffed it in my pocket. " Ugh, when is all this crap going to stop? Too much is going on." I buried my face in my hands.
" Don't let it stress you out, you know that's not good Lee. I got you, stop worrying about all of this stuff," Jacob put a warm hand on my arm, pulling my hands away from my face.
" Stop trying to be superman Jake. I know you are trying really hard to protect me and the baby, but you have to let me help too. But I do think it is super sexy when you are all protective," I said seductively. Jacob smirked and rubbed his thumb across my knuckles.
" It's not fair for you to tease me," Jacob said still smirking. I was surprised that Jacob had not mentioned anything about sex. We had only had sex once, and that one time got me pregnant.
" Sorry, I can't control my sexiness Mr. Black," I purred. Jacob just shook his head and put his eyes back on the road.
It didn't take us long to get to the roadside where Emily was sitting. She had her head in her hands and a bag at her side. She looked up when we pulled over to the side.
" Emily what the hell happened," I asked getting out of the car. She shrugged her shoulders and stood up. There were bruises on her arms and cuts on her legs. Her face was swollen from her crying and her clothes were dirty. Jacob grabbed her bag and I helped her to the car.
" Why did you run off like that Em," I asked putting on my seatbelt.
" He said my mom wanted to see me. He said he changed, he wasn't the bad guy anymore. How could I be so stupid," Emily sobbed.
" Why didn't you tell anyone you were leaving? Sam was worried sick," Jacob asked gripping the steering wheel tighter.
"I don't know. I don't want to talk about it right now," Emily replied laying her head against the window. Something was weird about this whole situation, Emily wasn't up to answer any questions. Maybe she was just in shock, but the situation still didn't make sense. Why she disappeared, what happened to her, and why she didn't tell Sam any of this. Her not talking did not help me get anywhere in this. I looked back at her in the rearview mirror, her eyes were closed and her face was relaxed.
" Don't stress," Jacob said softly.
" I will try not to," I whispered. I laid my head against the window and closed my eyes.
" Emily wake up," I shook Emily's limp body. She stirred and opened her eyes.
" Oh my god, Emily," Sam ran out of the house and to the car. He opened the back door and pulled Emily out. She almost lost her balance but Sam pulled her into his chest.
" Where have you been? Why did you leave like that?"
I looked over a Jacob, who wore the same expression I did, confusion. A small smile crept across Emily's face. Sam kissed her scarred face and hugged her tighter.
" We found her at the roadside, by the border," I said.
"Thank you," he said looking between Jacob and I. Emily's face was still buried in Sam's chest. He nodded his head in our direction and led Emily towards the house. I got back into the Rabbit and rested my head on the back of the seat.
" Something is not right about all this. I don't get why she didn't call Sam, she doesn't want to talk about what happened, and now she seems perfectly fine. I know her father is abusive, and usually she talks to me about it. I think she is hiding something for a reason," I said looking at the scenery outside the window.
" Yea she did seem a little weird. I wonder if she will tell Sam what happened. I know he will ask her why she left like that."
" I bet she won't tell him. She gets away with just crying and he backs off of her. It was never that way with me, he would make me talk," I said.
" I wouldn't ever make you talk," Jacob smiled at me.
"Yea right, you already act all overprotective."
" And you said that was sexy," Jacob said in a uber sexy voice.
" Wait where are we going," I asked noticing we were not heading in the direction of his house.
" Oh I am dropping you off at your mom's. I have some pack business to handle, it's about patrolling," Jacob stated. Why the hell was I not included in any of the stuff going on today?
"So I am assuming I am not allowed to go?" My tone was sharp and rude. Jacob sighed and rolled his eyes.
" Leah we already talked about this."
I tapped my finger against the window and bit down on my tongue. Controlling my frustration and anger was becoming harder as the days went by. Warm tears rolled down my face.
" Baby don't cry," Jacob wiped a fresh tear away.
" Hell you might as well kick me out of the pack. I don't get to do shit anymore," I said more tears streaming down my face. I was so pissed right now, I wanted to phase right here in the car.
" You are still my Alpha female, Lee. I am just trying to keep you safe. Just be patient with me," Jacob grabbed my hand and held it tightly.
" Good to see you honey, you should visit me more," my mother hugged me.
" I think she's a little out of it, I will take her up to her room," Jacob took my arm and led me up the steps. My mother looked like she was holding back a laugh as I stumbled on one step. I was really tired, it felt like I had not slept in days. It had to be the pregnancy throwing my hormones all out of whack and making me tired as hell. I sat on the edge of the bed, although Jacob tried to make me lay down.
" You should get some rest, I promise I will be back to get you," Jacob said pushing me back towards my pillow. I remember the last time I slept in my bed, it resulted in me ending up at the Cullens. I remember that pain, the same pain I had occasionally because I had not seen my imprint.
" When are you coming back," I asked finally laying down.
" A few hours." My eyes widened and Jacob laughed. " If you go to sleep the time will go by faster."
" Ok, don't be too long," I said sweetly.
" Aww will you miss me," Jacob asked moving a strand of my hair out of my face.
" Yes, now hurry up and leave."
" Ok, see you later," Jacob lightly kissed my lips and got up from my bed.
" Jake."
" Yea babe."
" I love you," I said. I scared myself saying those three words, wow I said ' I love you' first.
Jacob smiled sweetly. " I love you too."
I smiled and laid back on my pillow, closing my eyes.
" Leah, Leah honey wake up," I felt delicate hands shaking me from my sleep.
" Hmmm."
" Get up I have to take you to Jake's," my mother whispered.
" He said he was coming to get me," I replied, my speech terribly slurred.
" He said he would be running a little late, so he told me to take you."
I sat up in my bed and rubbed the sleep from my eyes. " Okay."
" Call me, see you later Lee," my mother kissed my cheek.
" Bye." I opened the car door and let myself out. I looked back at my mother who was cheesing like a kid in a candy shop.
I opened the front door and smelled vanilla candles burning. The room was dim, ten candles lighting the room. Vanilla was my favorite scent, it was so calming and smelled delicious.
" Jacob?" I called out.
" Hey beautiful," Jacob came up behind me, his warm breath trickling down my neck.
" What's all this," I asked my eyes roaming the room. The small kitchen table was decorated with white rose pedals and food. Food!
" Something special for a special person. This is why I was not letting you do anything for the past few days," Jacob replied kissing my neck.
" You did all this for me?"
" Yea and the Cullens helped. Esme prepared the food, Alice provided the candles, and Edward helped read your mind to figure out what kind of flowers you liked."
Wait, when was I thinking of flowers? " So this is what you were doing the whole time?"
" Yea and some of the time I was dealing with pack stuff. I think you deserved this, for putting up with me," Jacob smiled and wrapped his arms around his waist.
" Wow, I can't believe you did all this. It's really pretty Jacob. Thank you," I said kissing his lips.
" Anytime. Now I am sure you are starving, I saw you staring at the food." Jacob grabbed my hand and led me over to the table.
" You know me like a book," I said sitting down. My mouth watered as I smelled the chicken breast, mashed potatoes, broccoli and rolls seep into my nostrils. " Damn this smells good."
" I'm sure it taste good too," Jacob took a bite of the chicken.
Twenty minutes later we were done eating dinner and dessert.
" I have something to show you," Jacob said nodding toward the bedroom.
" More food," I asked hunching my shoulders up like an innocent little girl.
" No fatty," Jacob laughed and went into the bedroom. I followed him inside and watched him uncover something in the corner.
" I built it myself," Jacob said moving to the side, unveiling a white crib.
" It's my lucky day huh," I smiled and traced the detail of the crib. I never knew Jacob was so good with his hands. " Did you get another girl pregnant?"
"What the hell Leah? No."
" Why did you do all this for me then?" Sam was sweet like this only once. It was when we first started dating and he was trying to impress me. No guy was ever this nice to me, only my dad. " No one has ever done anything like this for me."
" Well I did it to show you how much I love you. It's not because I want something from you, or that I even did anything wrong. Well at least I don't think I have. I can be sweet when I want to be," Jacob said grabbing my waist.
" Really? I'm just not used to this-" My sentence was cut off by Jacob's lips. This kiss was full of passion, love, lust, sexiness, but yet it was so gentle. He was so smooth with the kiss, not taking full control but sharing the control with me. He gently pushed me back towards the bed, the back of my legs touching the cool comforter.
" Leah," Jacob's husky voice whispered.
" Make love to me Jake," I said. Jacob's dark brown eyes poured into mine.
" Are you sure?"
" Yes, I'm sure."
Jacob's warm hand grazed my stomach, pulling my shirt over my head. He pulled his own shirt off and threw it to the side.
" You don't know how long I have waited for you to say those words," Jacob said kissing my neck and shoulders. " You sure I won't hurt the baby?"
" Just be gentle."
And with that Jacob trail warm kisses from my lips to my stomach, grabbing the top of my pants with his hands. He pulled them off slowly, the fabric barley touched my skin as he slid them over my feet.
" How am I doing,' he asked.
" Perfect." He silenced me with another kiss. He broke away and removed the rest of his clothing. I began to take my underclothes off but Jacob's hands stopped me.
" That's my job baby," he said seductively.
" You just want to be in control of everything huh?"
" No, I just want to do all the work, you just enjoy the show," Jacob said removing the rest of my clothes.
" Ok whatever you say," I giggled as Jacob licked my belly button. Did I just giggle?
Jacob made his way back up to my lips. He pulled back and stared into my eyes.
" I love you," he whispered.
" I love you too." I was ready for this, ready to let him have my body in a loving way and not just a fucking way.
Jacob stared into my eyes for a few more seconds, before gently pushing himself into me. The ecstasy was undeniable and indescribable…
Thanks for the reviews! I got this chapter done faster than I thought I would. I wanted to throw some major Blackwater time in there because things are about to get rough. Not anything bad between our favorite couple, but I can't leave the Cherokee pack out for too long. Finally Leah and Jacob get it on, again. And what the hell is up with Emily? Weird right? Hopefully you all liked this chapter. I worked hard on it for most of the day. Reviews are like chocolate covered pretzels to me, they make my day!
