Chapter 8

One by one I felt the pack phase in. Collin was calming down but the others thoughts were worried. Why was there such an explosion in the werewolf population? They hadn't had this big of an addition since the Cullens returned for the second time.

But they tried to hide their worry as they explained everything to the newborn.

I had some sympathy for Collin. I was still technically a newborn myself. Collin was the youngest now, he was five months younger than Seth.

After a while the pack members started to drift away to what they were doing before. Jacob you should go home and sleep. When was the last time you slept? Sam asked Jacob worriedly.

Jacob didn't say anything but his thoughts told us over 48 hours. Jacob go home. Jacob's thoughts were annoyed but he turned and headed for home.

Leah I need you and Seth to stay with Collin, I have some stuff to do. It didn't sound like a question so I guessed I couldn't object. Sam turned and left so it was only us three.

I walked off to the side and lay down. Seth and Collin were deep in conversation. Seth was telling him all the cool werewolf abilities all of us had and Collin was just eating this up. I didn't try to hold back a huff of annoyance. There wasn't anything cool about this.

Collin's attention turned and focused on me. He was wondering why I was the only girl. I bared my teeth slightly and let a deep growl rumble from my chest without raising my head. Seth took over and quickly warned Collin not to bring it up again.

They day dragged on. I guess no one thought I had anything better to do than babysit the newborn. I lay in my spot while Seth and Collin raced around me. Then I felt a phase, it was Jacob.

What are you doing here, you're supposed to be sleeping. Looking at the sun I decided he had only had about a 5 hour nap.

His thoughts were excited. He had been with Bella today. I let out a barking laugh when I realized she broke her hand on his face. I would have torn into that bloodsucker if I had that good of a chance. I thought, reading about Jacob's encounter at Charlie's house with the leech lovers boyfriend.

I know you would have. But Bella was already pretty pissed at me. I snorted a laugh. Jacob galloped into the clearing we were sitting in. I can take over from here Leah.

But you barely slept at all... I stopped myself. I was starting to sound like a mom.

Yeah this pack already has a mom and his name is Sam. Go home Leah, I don't mind.

Can I stay Jake? Seth asked, his mouth was open and his tongue fell out on the side as he panted.

Sure, sure. Seth was overjoyed. He and Collin took off in another chase.

I took my opportunity to leave. I galloped a steady pace towards home, enjoying the feeling it gave my muscles.

I thought you didn't like this Leah. Seth sneered.

I don't Seth. I replied simply.

But..

Shut it Seth. Jacob interjected.

It didn't take me as long to calm down and phase back this time once I reached home. I quickly pulled my shorts and tank top on then climbed through my still open window.

"Leah? Are you home?" I heard my mom call from the kitchen. I walked out there and found her and Billy sitting at the table drinking coffee. I felt a little self-conscious, I was only wearing a ratty tank and some old cut off shorts. My hair felt matted around my face.

"Could you do a load of laundry for me sweetie?" She asked pleasantly.

I scowled at her but turned to the laundry room. I really just wanted to sleep but I guess I could do some laundry first. I pulled some clothes out of the dryer and stuffed more in from the washing machine. I started the dryer and then started stuffing a load of whites into the washing machine. After starting it I picked up the basket of clean towels and stomped off to my room to fold them. I folded them into piles then wandered around the house putting them in their places.

I found myself in the bathroom. I opened the cabinet under the sink to put the rags in when something caught my eye. Off to the side lay a couple boxes of tampons. Automatically my mind started calculating. I left the basket in there for a second and hesitantly walked off to my room to look at my calendar. Sure enough 2 days ago was when my period should have started.

I was a little panicked, I wasn't one to be late, but I put it to the back of my mind. I couldn't be pregnant, I hadn't been with anyone since Sam. I pushed the onslaught of Sam related thoughts back into the depths. It was probably just from all the activity. I nodded to myself. "Yeah that's it."
