Thanks for the reviews and support. Some of your reviews are so funny and I find myself laughing out loud. (That is a good thing.) I'm glad that you all are so into the story and that you have stuck with it for so long. Thanks to the new readers too!
I don't own Twilight or the characters!
Two months later
Leah's POV
I was six months pregnant and my stomach was huge. I had that signature pregnant woman walk and my feet swell up to the size of piglets. My moods changed about six times a day and Jacob tried not to piss me off. I was thankful for his effort but he didn't know that him trying was actually more annoying. I didn't like him tip-toeing around my feelings. I needed him to be the Jacob that told me to 'shut-up', the Jacob who would argue with me. I MISSED THOSE TIMES! Ok, see how my emotions change up, it's really weird.
"Hey whatcha thinking about," Jacob asked plopping down on the couch.
" Oh, just day dreaming. I didn't even realize I had zoned out like that," I glanced at Jacob and returned my gaze to the window.
" Got something on your mind?"
"Why do you ask? Do you have something on your mind," I asked turning around to face Jacob.
"Nope," Jacob said grabbing my hand. " You just seem to be thinking about stuff a lot."
"Well something has been bugging me about you."
"About…me?"
"That's what I said Mr. Black." I rubbed a hand down his face. " You've just been getting on my nerves babe."
" What exactly have I been doing," Jacob asked raising an eyebrow.
"Jake you are being too overprotective. You're kind of getting ridiculous with the whole wanting to keep my stress level down. But you are stressing me out more when you are watching my every move and being all careful around me. Dammit, I love to argue with you sometimes," I threw my hands up and Jacob laughed.
"I guess I should've explained this to you after I talked to Old Quil. I noticed the feeling of having to protect you a few months a go. I talked to Old Quil and he said it was because you are pregnant. The male wolf feels more protective of his woman when she is pregnant with his children. He told me that my feelings are intensified since I'm Alpha and you're Alpha female. It's crazy isn't it?"
"Crazy and annoying." I rolled my eyes. "I'm glad you're here though. I can be thankful for that. When do you think Dakota will be able to come on our land?"
"That's a random question Leah," Jacob laughed.
"I was just wanting to know. He was asking me the other day," I asked rubbing my thumb over Jacob's knuckles.
"I'm still thinking about it. I'm just watching his behavior around you to make sure he will be okay here," Jacob explained.
"You know that he is fine around me Jake. I think you are just being a hard ass for no reason. I could see if I were asking if Bella could come over," I replied.
Jacob sighed. " I don't want to be stupid Lee. We can't forget that he is half vampire."
"Okay, I guess." I let go of Jacob's hand and turned back to the window.
"Don't be like that, you know I'm telling the truth," Jacob said.
That was the problem, he was right. I always thought about what the vampire in Dakota would do. His werewolf and human side were dominant, it didn't take a dummy to figure that out. I understood that Jacob was only trying to be on the safe side and that was a decision that I respected.
"I know. I just feel bad when the kid asks if he can come here. You should see his little eyes light up when he mentions La Push," I said smiling at the thought of Dakota's warm smile.
"Those motherly instincts are starting to kick in. I notice how you act around Kota, you are really good with him," Jacob replied.
"Thanks. Don't try to change the subject Jake. When do you think is a good time to let him on the res?"
"I don't know. I'll think about it, just give me some time," Jacob rubbed my back and pecked my cheek.
"Alright I guess I can give you some time," I pouted.
Jacob chuckled and pecked my lips. " We should head over to the Cullen's. I bet Dakota is having a fit because you are late."
"I bet he is. I better get over there before he yells at me," I said laughing. Jacob pulled me off the couch and escorted me to the door.
Dakota was not so small anymore. He had a huge growth spurt and looked like he was ten years old. Carlisle said he had inherited that part from his mother but his growth spurts didn't happen as often. He had inherited more of his father's genes, but it was no doubt he was Renesemee's son. He had her intelligence, her nose, and his hair had a few curls.
" Leah," Dakota came running down the steps as we came in.
"Hey little squirt," I ruffled his hair as he put his head on my stomach.
"Hi A'liyah and Jacob." He smiled and pulled his head away.
"She likes me already," Dakota said.
"Oh hey you two," Esme said. She hugged me and I grimaced. I was getting used to them but I wasn't that comfortable yet. "Sorry."
I nodded and threw her a small smile.
Dakota showed me his newly decorated room. " My mama said I was getting to old for the old room."
"You are getting big, you needed a big boy's room," I said sitting in a plush chair.
"Jasper got me some new cars for my collection. Wanna see them?"
"Sure."
Dakota ran over to his toy box and pulled out a case.
"Wow how many new ones did you get," I asked.
"One-hundred I think," Dakota grinned and turned the box upside down.
" Those are really cool Kota. Can I see that fire engine red one," I pointed to one of the cars. Dakota proudly handed it to me and came to sit in my lap. He put his hand on my stomach and watched me examine the car.
"This is my new favorite one," I replied.
"Mine too. You can have it," Dakota suggested.
"I don't want to take your favorite car." I put the car back in his hands.
"Little Jacob will like it," Dakota said placing the car back in my hand.
"Aww, that is sweet of you. I'm sure little Jake will love it," I kissed Dakota's forehead.
"I don't have anything to give A'liyah, but I'm sure Alice does."
" I think Alice has something for everybody." I laughed softly and twirled the tiny car through my fingers.
"Does Jacob like me," Dakota asked out of no where.
"Yea. Why'd you ask that?"
"He won't let me come see you. I don't think he likes me because of who my daddy is," Dakota said looking down at his hands.
" That's not it Kota. He is still thinking about it and I'm pretty sure one day you will be allowed on our land. Don't worry little guy," I said tickling his sides. Dakota squirmed and laughed loudly.
"I wish I could come visit you though. I want to meet the pack and go to the beach. I wish I could be in a pack with Jacob," Dakota said after his laugh attack.
"You really like Jacob huh?"
"Yea, I wish I had a daddy like him. Jacob's really cool," Dakota said sadly.
A single tear rolled down my cheek. My phone interrupted my moment with Kota.
"Yes Sam."
"I was just calling to let you guys know I'm going to Seattle for a few days," Sam said in a tired voice.
"Um why are you doing that?"
"I'm going to see my father. And… I'm trying to see if I can break the imprint. If I can stay away from Emily for a few days without pain, then it might be possible," Sam explained.
"Sam you know that is not possible. Jacob's situation is way different from yours. You know that right?"
"Yes. Yes I know that. It is worth the try though. I have to try," Sam said desperately. I had never known Sam to be in this much pain.
"I guess so. Well I will tell Jacob."
"Thanks. Talk to you later," Sam said before hanging up.
Now was a convenient time to break the imprint, but he couldn't try for me? I knew it was going to be impossible for him to be away from her that long. The last time she ran off, he almost went crazy. The pain of not seeing an imprint was horrible, I felt a share myself. My pain was not as bad as Jacob's, but is hurt. My pain was only dulled because Dakota had imprinted on A'liyah and I wondered if she imprinted on him without seeing him first. It was weird how I kind of felt the pull when Dakota did.
"Everything okay," Dakota asked shaking my shoulder.
"I think so. I hope so" I replied quietly.
Jacob's POV
"How you been feeling," Nessie asked sitting across from me at the kitchen table.
"Good actually. Me and Leah don't fight as much as we used to. Her hormones are out of control, but I'm getting used to that," I said with a chuckle.
"That's great. She is a really good match for you Jake. I'm glad you finally got with her."
I cocked my head to the side. " What do you mean by that?"
" I knew you liked her the whole time you were with me. I wanted you to be happy and I knew what I had to do. It was hard to leave, but I had to Jake. You needed that chance to find love the natural way," Nessie explained. She twirled a curl and continued to talk. " I know it hurt you and I am truly sorry for that. I just couldn't live with the fact that you were connected to me by fate and not by choice. Imprinting has always been weird to me. That's when Nahuel and I came up with our plan."
"Wait, so you are saying you left because you wanted me with Leah?"
"It was only fair that I gave you that chance. Nahuel agreed to act as my boyfriend and run off with me. I made sure to hide my thoughts so my father wouldn't figure out my plan. I made sure to play around with Alice's visions too. I know it annoyed the hell out of her. We ran off to Canada first and then back down here to Wyoming. I met Adahy there and he imprinted on me. Nahuel left me then because I planned to stay in Wymong. That's when I got pregnant and decided to come back. I was excited to see you and Leah together then."
"Do you know the pain I felt because of you being away for so long? The pain was horrible."
"I'm sorry Jake. You deserved that chance. Aren't you happy now," Nessie asked.
" Yes I am, but-"
"You being happy is all that matters. No buts about it," Nessie replied.
Leah walked into the kitchen with Dakota on her heels. She looked between Nessie and I and opened her mouth to say something.
"It's fine Leah. Jake and I were just talking," Nessie explained. Leah nodded but continued to glare at Nessie. Leah was cordial to Nessie, but Leah was still angry about what Nessie did.
"Hi Jacob," Dakota said.
"Hey little guy," I said giving him a noogie. He giggled and wrapped his arms around my legs.
"Awww how cute," Nessie said grinning at the scene.
I patted Dakota's back and smiled at Leah.
"Look at you being all fatherly," Leah said.
"He's a good kid," I replied. I couldn't wait until my kids arrived, I was ready to be a daddy.
Leah's face twisted in pain and her hands fell to her stomach. I rushed to her side and put my hands on her stomach.
"They're kicking," she said a with grin. I could feel tiny kicks on both sides of her stomach. It was the first time they had kicked, it was amazing. Dakota came over and put his hands on the front of Leah's stomach.
"Wow," Dakota mouthed.
Wow so Nessie fessed up to what really happened. Will Sam be able to stay away from Emily for a long period of time? What was Francine's special power and why did the Volturi come and get her? How come the wolf pack didn't know that the Volturi was there? We shall see what happens soon! Thanks for reading!
