Thanks for the reviews! You all are awesome! So this chapter will be split into two POV's ( Jacob and Leah). Jada91, Emily did get an abortion Sam just doesn't know that. Sorry for the confusion. Here it goes…


I do not own Twilight or the characters!

Jacob's POV

I gathered the whole pack except Leah. I called her back and told her to stay at home because it was far too dangerous for her to fight. She attempted to argue with me but I didn't give her the chance and hung up on her. She didn't really understand how protective I was of her right now. Old Quil said because she was Alpha Female and she was pregnant. That just enhanced my Alpha senses and I would do anything to protect her. It was almost similar to how an imprint feels but that pull was not there. I called the Cullens up to tell them about Adahy being on our territory. Since I was Alpha, it was up to me to allow the Cullens on our territory to help us fight. We had helped them during the newborn battle, so I thought it was a good idea for them to repay us. Nessie decided to drop Dakota off with Leah and she was going to take her place in the battle. I tried to talk her out of it, but she wanted to get revenge on Adahy.

We all made our way to the clearing where Sam and Adahy were at battle. Emily was no where in sight and it appeared to me that she had been gone for some time. Sam snarled at Adahy and Adahy launched his body towards Sam.

" The Cullen's are on their way." I thought. I heard growls come from beyond the trees. Jared and Embry made their way over to Sam and Adahy. We stood to the side waiting on whoever else was growling out in the woods. Obviously Adahy had other wolves waiting while he battled it out with Sam. He knew we would come to help out our pack mate and he had prepared. This attack had to be nicely planned out and it was odd how Emily has disappeared. The Cullen's appeared before us, Edward leading them to the battle scene. I nodded my head at him as they took their places. Adahy's pack slowly emerged from the woods. There were at least twenty of them and they were almost as big as us. So we had not defeated most of Adahy's pack like we thought we did.

" Damn when did he expand his pack," Quil asked.

" When we weren't paying attention to the signs. He must have collected them when he disappeared for that time. But focus on this fight," I thought back to Quil.

The Cherokee pack phased into human and Adahy joined his group.

" Phase." I thought to the pack and they followed.

" We meet again. What a pleasure," Adahy said looking around at everyone. He smirked and wiped blood the was dripping from his nose.

" What the fuck are you doing here Adahy," I asked him holding back Sam who was trying to attack him.

" I'm sure you are aware. I know Emily told you all, right?"

" I will kill him," Sam yelled out trying to get past my arm.

" Calm down," I replied with an Alpha command.

" Nessie where is my son," Adahy asked. Nessie's eyes widened and she swallowed.

" That is none of your business mutt," Edward stated with a hiss. Bella took a protective stance in front of Nessie.

" He is my son so it is my business," Adahy spat.

" No he is not. He wasn't your business after you left him with the Volturi," Emmett replied. Adahy chuckled and rubbed his hands together.

"Where is my son," Adahy asked once again.

" Fuck you Adahy. You are not getting him back so you can go now," I said balling my hands into firm fist.

" I'm not leaving without him. Nessie?" Adahy tilted his head to the side as he said Nessie's name. She peeked out from behind her mother and looked Adahy in the eye.

"You are not getting him back Adahy," Nessie replied.

" Okay. Fine. So you want to do this the hard way I suppose," Adahy's body began to tremble.

" I don't think there is an easy way out of this," Paul replied with a menacing glare crossing his features.

" I don't understand how you think you can keep my son away from me. How would you feel if someone took your kid from you," Adahy asked looking me straight in the eye.

" You keep my family out of this asshole," I spat.

" Why? They aren't really your family if your bitch doesn't want you," Adahy said.

That did it. I could no longer withhold my anger. My body trembled once and my clothes shredded from my body. I growled in front of Adahy as he phased.

" And the battle begins," I thought. " I got the Alpha, the rest are to you all."

I circled around Adahy as he snapped at my tail. I moved quickly to the left avoiding his sharp teeth that were headed at my neck. Adahy let out a angry howl and lunged for me again. This time knocking me to the ground and causing pieces of rock to fly. I pushed him off of me with my front paws, and watched his body collide with a tree. The tree broke into pieces and Adahy slowly got up. I leaped for him and tackled him back to the ground, pushing my paws deeper into his body. He howled and sunk his teeth into my right paw. I howled in pain and Adahy pushed me off of him. I quickly regained my footing, side stepping Adahy's flying paw. He growled and snapped at my neck once again. This coward was trying to kill me the unfair way. Everyone knows that a fair fight means no snapping at the neck. I suppose Adahy wasn't a fair fighter, he was fighting to kill and so was I. I picked up a piece of the broken tree with my mouth and swung it at Adahy. The heavy branch knocked Adahy over a tiny cliff, sending him rolling deeper into the woods. I chased after his rolling body. He finally stopped and hurried to his feet. I growled at him and lunged for his side. I sunk my teeth into his thick flesh and tore it away. Blood gushed from the tear and Adahy howled out.

Leah's POV

I wish I could see what was going on in this battle. I needed to be out there helping my pack, I was still a part of it after all. My brother was fighting out there and I wasn't at his side protecting him. The father of my children was out there fighting and I wasn't at his side either. I watched Dakota play with his toy cars, crashing them into each. I smiled as he looked up at me with doe like eyes.

" Want any milk Kota," my mother asked as she came from the kitchen.

" Yes that would be nice," Dakota said crashing his cars together once again. I sat on the floor next to him and picked up one of his cars.

" Who got you these cars," I asked him.

" Uncle Jasper. He said he liked cars when he was my age. That was a loooooong time from now," Dakota replied. He held a red car in between his fingers. " This one is daddy's favorite because it looks like an old car. He said that his mommy used to have one almost just like it."

" I like this one," I held up a dark blue one. " I like the color of it."

" I like that one too. I wonder which one she likes," Dakota pointed to my stomach.

" Hmmm I don't know. I think she would like a pink one."

" I don't have a pink one. Uncle Emmett said pink is for girls," Dakota said scrunching up his nose. " But I think she will like pink. I can feel it."

I smiled at Dakota as my mother walked back in the room with his cup of milk. She handed me a cup of hot chocolate and sat down on the couch.

" So Kota are you taking good care of Leah," my mother asked taking a sip of her own hot chocolate.

" Yes. But Lee does a good job of taking care of herself. She is a strong woman, like my mommy," Kota replied. My mother looked at me in awe and I laughed.

" He is advanced like Nessie was. I guess you were never around her that much," I said drinking some chocolate. " I think I am going to get me something cold to drink. This is not helping my body temperature."

I walked into the kitchen and sat the coffee cup on the counter. A movement in the window caught my attention. I squinted my eyes to get a better look. Next thing I know the kitchen window shattered and a ball of fur flew at me. I collapsed into the kitchen table and fell to the floor.

" Lee? Oh my god," my mother gasped. I looked up from the mess I had created and up to a huge wolf that stood in front of me. Dakota stood in the doorway with a car in his hand. My body shook and I phased into my wolf form causing the kitchen table to split. Dakota phased next, his wolf form smaller than mine. My mother ran from the doorway and I heard the front door slam. She knew exactly what to do when an incident like this occurred. She was headed to Old Quil's house to be in safe hands. Quil's house was closer to the woods, which is where most of the fighting took place. She was definitely safe there and no one would be able to get to her.

I growled at the wolf in front of me as he crouched lower.

" Leah? What the hell is going on," I heard Seth in my mind.

" Some damn psycho just came through the window. It is someone from the Cherokee pack," I thought back.

" Shit! Leah take it easy, one of us will be heading that way," Sam replied. I saw an image of a wounded Cherokee pack member. I circled around the wolf in the kitchen and Kota was right by my side. He was trapped and there was only one of him, so this should not be hard.

He snapped at my neck and I dodged him. He growled in frustration and pushed me into the doorway with his nose. Dakota jumped on his back tearing at it with his teeth. The black wolf howled out in pain. I took the chance to bite into his skin with my teeth while Kota still had a hold on him. The black wolf threw Kota off his back causing him to collide into one of the cabinets under the sink. The kitchen was not big enough for all three of us to fight. I had to defeat this bastard before he killed me or killed Dakota. I lunged and knocked the black wolf into the refrigerator, denting it in the process. I dug my teeth into the wolf's neck and blood gushed everywhere. The wolf swung his body into mine and I hit the wall. I felt dizzy but I knew giving up was not an option. I heard the back door open and Jacob walked in. His body shook when he saw me lying on the floor and his shorts shredded to pieces.

"Are you okay," Jacob asked.

"I'm fine," I said looking over at Kota who was still lying on the floor.

"Go check on him. I got this," Jacob said as him and the black wolf circled each other. They both attempted to attack each other, but one always pulled back. It was as if they were playing a game with each other.

I phased back to human form and ran over to Dakota. I shook him and got no response. I checked his pulse and it was barely there. He must have bumped his head pretty hard. I sighed and began to pump Dakota's chest. This would be so much easier if he was in human form. I panicked when Kota was not responding. Tears began to stream down my face, he couldn't die. I pumped his chest harder, hoping for a sign. His eyes fluttered open, slowly and I slight moan escaped from his chest. I let out a breath and got Dakota to phase back to human form. He rubbed his head and tried to sit up.

" No take it slow," I told him as he sat up too fast. I cradled his head in my arms and picked him up. I looked over at Jacob who was still battling the black wolf. The black wolf looked weak and was losing a lot of blood. I got Dakota out of the kitchen and laid him on the couch. I ran to my room to grab some clothes and grabbed Jacob a pair of shorts and a blanket for Kota. I threw my clothes on and hurried back to the couch to check on Kota. He was alert now, but still a little out of it.

" Your head hurt," I asked him. That was such a dumb question to ask him, but with him being half wolf he could heal pretty fast.

"Yes. But it feels a little better," Dakota replied laying back on the couch. I heard a loud crash and snarls coming from the kitchen. I closed my eyes and tried to drown out the sounds. " Does he need help?"

" Kota you should rest. Stay right here, I will be back," I grabbed the shorts and walked back to the kitchen. It was an absolute mess and there was no way we would be able to cook in here. Jacob stood over the dead black wolf. I handed him the shorts and he nodded his head at me as he took them.

" You okay," he asked examining me from head to toe.

I nodded my head and tip toed through the kitchen. There was glass everywhere and I could not even think where to start with cleaning.

"Whoa, watch out Lee. There is glass everywhere," Jacob stopped me with his hand and pushed me back toward the kitchen doorway.

" I think I can see that Jake. What are we going to do with the body," I asked looking at the dead wolf.

" I guess burn him. I need to check back and see how the battle is going. Most of the Cherokee pack is dead and so far no one from our pack is seriouly hurt. How is Dakota?"

" He is feeling a little better. The wolf senses are helping him heal faster. I told him to rest on the couch," I replied shifting my weight from side to side. Talking to Jacob was awkward and I could tell he was thinking the same thing.

" Well I am going to check on the pack," Jacob said after a moment of silence. I knew the fact that the pack was at battle once again worried him. It stressed him out as much as he tried to play the tough role. He acted as though the battle was just another day of us protecting La Push. He didn't act afraid like he should have been.

" I am coming with you. Dakota should be able to phase now," I stated. Jacob shook his head and turned to go back to the back door.

" Jake," I grabbed his arm. I had almost forgotten what his skin felt like, how the electricity surged through my body every time I touched him.

" Leah it might not be safe out there." Jacob pulled out of my grasp and walked out the backdoor. Well what was left of the backdoor. I walked back to the living room and noticed Dakota was gone.

" Shit. Dakota," I called out looking under the couch and in the coat closet. Where could he have disappeared to that fast? " Dakota?"

I went up the steps and looked in all the bedrooms and closets. Dakota was no where to be found. I threw my hands on my head and sighed. I had to find him so I went outside to phase. It would be better to sniff him out if I was in wolf form.

I walked around the house with my nose close to the ground. I picked up Dakota's scent and it led me towards the road. There was no way I could walk the streets of La Push in wolf form. I phased out and put my tank top and shorts back on. I walked the road all the way down to the woods and phased back into wolf form. My mind was silent and was not filled with the sounds of battle. I assumed the battle was over and nothing terrible had happened.

"What the hell are you doing outside Lee," Jacob thought.

" I am looking for Dakota," I thought. An image of Dakota staring at a fire flashed through Jacob's mind. " He's with you?"

"Yea he went out the front door when I was talking to you in the kitchen. Paul and Jared went back to get the other Cherokee pack member that was dead at your house. The battle is over we think," Jacob said. " Go back to my house and wait until we get there."

" I'm fine Jake. Damn stop being so overprotective."

" Lee just do what he says. It's not good for you to be out here." Embry thought. I heard Seth growl.

" Fine." I thought back and phased out.

Trying not to argue with people was really hard to do. But I had children I needed to protect, so stressing myself out had to stop. I walked to Jacob's house and went in through the backdoor because it was always unlocked. I sat on the couch and propped my legs up on a pillow. I laid my head on the armrest and closed my eyes.


" Leah," I felt warm hands shaking me out of my sleep. " Come on get up."

I opened my eyes to find Jacob close to my face. " What time is it?"

" It's ten at night. We just finished burning the bodies. Carlisle just checked Dakota's head out and his brain is bleeding. So Carlisle is going to drain the blood out. Did you want to go see him?" Jacob sat next to me on the sofa.

" Yea I can go over there. Is everyone else okay?"

" Seth broke his arm but it is healing now. He should be almost healed by now. Everyone is just kind of scraped up. The Cherokee pack is into throwing claws instead of fighting fair. They pretty much just scratch and don't fight like real men," Jacob said laughing slightly.

" Oh, well have you talked to my mother? I am sure she is scared shitless."

" We can stop by Old Quil's when we get done at the Cullen's. That is where Emily is too, I thought she had ran off. Come on let's get you to the Cullen's," Jacob held his hand out to me, but snatched it back when he realized what he was doing. I actually wanted to hold his hand, but of course that was something couples did.

" How are you holding up," Carlisle asked as we walked into the living room.

" I am okay. I am not having the pains anymore so I think I am good to go," I replied.

" That's good. Just try to stay as calm as you can and not stress out. Phasing should be okay, you didn't feel anything weird when you did that did you?"

" No I felt the same," I said following Jacob up the steps. He peeked around the corner at Dakota who as sound asleep on the hospital bed. Nessie was sitting next to him holding his hand.

" Hey Ness, how is he," Jacob asked walking into the room.

" He is fine but he is really mad at me. Well he is mad at everyone that was involved in killing Adahy. He won't really talk to me," Nessie said.

" I'm sure he will talk to you sooner or later. He can't stay mad at you for long," Jacob stated. Nessie nodded her head and looked down at Dakota.

" Well Lee just wanted to check on him. I should get her back home to rest," Jacob said walking to the door.

" Thanks. I will tell him that you stopped by."

" Okay." I followed Jacob out the door.

I got into the passenger seat of the Rabbit and Jacob pulled off.


My mother hugged me tightly when I walked into Old Quil's house.

" I was so worried. I wished I could help you, but there is not much a human can do," My mother said leading me to the couch.

" How are the twins," Old Quil asked coming into the living room.

" They are good. They are growing kind of fast," I said patting my baby bump. Old Quil shook Jacob's hand.

" Seth called me and told me the house is a mess. It will need a lot of repairs. Charlie told me that we can stay at his place until I get the house fixed up," my mother said.

" I don't think that is a good idea mom."

" Well are we supposed to stay in a house we clearly can't even prepare a meal in? It's either that or stay with Jacob. Which I don't think will be a bad idea. You two are about to be parents and should probably start spending time together," my mother suggested.

" Mom-"

" I think it would be best to stay with Jacob. I think the leaders of the pack should be close together," Old Quil implied. Jacob looked at me and hunched his shoulders.

" So where is Seth going to stay? I'm sure he won't stay at Charlie's in Forks."

"He will probably stay with Sam. Sam already talked to me about it when he came and got Emily."

" Ugh. Okay I guess this is only temporary," I said scrunching up my nose. My mother and Old Quil smiled at each other.


" I can sleep on the couch, you take the bed," Jacob said taking blankets out of a closet.

" You sure that will be comfortable for you," I asked.

" Yea. You being comfortable is more important. I will put an extra cover in the room in case you get cold," Jacob grabbed a cover and took it to his room. I followed him inside and laid on the plush bed.

"Thanks."

" You are welcome. You have enough pillows," Jacob asked.

" I think so. If I need more I know where to find them." I got up under the covers and snuggeld into a pillow.

" Ok. Good night," Jacob said still standing over me. He hesitated before he leaned down and kissed my forehead.

" Good night," I said closing my eyes. Although I didn't want to admit it, I wanted him to stay with me tonight.

So there you go, hope everyone enjoyed. It took me awhile to write this chapter, it was quite difficult to write the battle scenes. So I decided to split the battle in half, which is where Leah and Dakota come in. So I'm sure everyone is wondering what is going on with Sam and Emily. Well in the next chapter that will be explained, I have not forgotten. What will happen to Jake and Leah? Do you think them staying with each other is a good idea right now? What was up with the smile between Old Quil and Sue. Hmmm. Reviews are always welcome. Thanks for everything!
