AN: HEY TO ALL MY READERS! THANK YOU TO EVERYONE FOR ALL YOUR REVIEWS. THEY REALLY HELP ME TO KEEP WRITING. SO, I'M HAVING WRITING BLOCK ON EDWARD AND BELLA SO...I DECIDED TO GIVE YOU GUYS ANOTHER JACOB CHAPTER...WITH A TWIST IN JACOB'S LIFE. WANNA KNOW WHAT IT IS? READ ON AND FIND OUT (EVIL LAUGH)
JACOB'S POV:
I paced back and forth, back and forth on my 4 legs. I couldn't believe what had just happened not half an hour ago.
I had just gotten back from a run with Quil and Embry. They had asked if they could come in and play some video games but I saw Leah's car.
"Sorry boys, Leah's here and I want some alone time with my girl." I said with a smile.
"No prob, see ya tomorrow Jake." Quil said before jumping into Embry's car and driving off.
I walked in to see Leah pacing and looking nervous.
"Hey you ok?" I asked as I gave her a welcoming hug.
"Not exactly Jake." she said as we broke our embrace.
"Well what's up?" I asked going into the kitchen to get some water.
"Whatever it is it can't be that bad." I said running the water in the sink.
I heard her chuckle before she said "You might not think so Jake."
"Leah, just tell me." I said finishing my water before putting the cup in the sink.
"Ok...Jake...I'm pregnant." she said looking nervous.
Words could not express what I was feeling suddenly.
I was shocked, scared, and had no idea what the hell we were getting ourselves into.
When I got like this I almost always shapeshifted so I knew I had to get out of there before I accidentally sent the wrong message. And tore my dad's place apart.
"I gotta go think, just don't go anywhere ok?" I asked before hugging her.
I felt her nod into my shoulder. I kissed her passionately before heading out the door. I wasn't even 5 feet away when I suddenly shapeshifted.
That was half an hour ago. I have been walking, sitting, and pacing up here on our cliff-diving platform; trying to figure out what to do next.
I knew one thing for certain. Being second in command was NOT going to give my child the promising future they needed.
I HAD opted out earlier. When I wasn't ready, when I didn't have a reason to be Alpha Wolf.
Now I did.
Now I had a woman I loved that I would be marrying soon.
Now I had a child on the way.
Now I needed to step up and take my rightful place as Alpha of the pack.
But to do that I would have to do something that had NEVER been done in the history of our tribe.
I would have to request Sam step down as Alpha.
If he refused I would have to challenge him to one battle.
Whoever won would be the Alpha.
No questions, requests or thing could undo that.
I ran back to the house, ran upstairs, and got some clothes on before going back into the living room where Leah had fallen asleep on the couch.
I lightly brushed her hair out of her face and kissed her cheek causing her to stir.
"Sshh, it's ok, go back to sleep. I gotta go talk to Sam but I'll be back." I whispered.
She nodded before rolling over and going back to sleep.
I then went out and started up the rabbit, heading to Sam's house.
10 MINUTES LATER
I knocked on Sam's front door to have Emily open the door.
"Hey Jake, what brings you here?" she asked.
"I'm here to talk to Sam." I said plainly.
"Well, he's out for a run but should be back soon. You want to stay here and wait for him?" she asked.
"Sure." I said walking in.
5 MINUTES LATER
Sam walked in and kissed Leah before seeing me at the table.
"Hey Jake, what's up?" he asked sitting next to me.
"Well Sam," I said starting to lean forward, putting my forearms on the table, "I just found out that Leah's pregnant."
Sam looked at me shocked.
"I know, I know, I don't need any lecture one way or the other. I just need to know that she's gonna have it easy til the baby's born." I said.
"Of course she will Jake. As Alpha I need to make sure ALL of my pack is safe and free from danger." he said with a cocky smile.
"That brings me to the other thing I came here to talk to you about Sam. We both know I originally was supposed to be Alpha of the pack but I wasn't ready. That's why I decided to allow you to take control of the pack. But with Leah pregnant with our child, I'm realizing I'm ready to be Alpha. So I am asking you kindly, Sam, to step down as Alpha and let me take the rightful place as leader of this pack." I finished, watching him for a response.
He barely thought for 15 seconds before he replied.
"No Jacob. I will not step down. I have carried this pack through so much already and I refuse to step away from the leadership that has been placed on me." he said before sitting back and crossing his arms over his chest.
"Then I guess we settle this the way our ancestors intended." I said sitting back and crossing my arms as well.
He looked at me confused.
"One battle. And whoever wins is Alpha, no complaints or questions. It will have been decided by the spirits."
Sam thought this over a minute before looking at me...and nodding.
We eyed each other as we walked in a circle, both waiting for the other to make the first move. Suddenly Sam lunged at me. I quickly jumped to the left to avoid him sinking his teeth into my shoulder. I then quickly turned around and lunged at him grabbing some loose muscle in his shoulder in my teeth. I heard him whimper as I pulled away. I remembered he had hurt his shoulder last week when we were training. It may be low, but I decided to use it to my advantage. He paid me back though by standing on his hind-legs and pushing me in the chest, knocking me to the ground. Before I had a chance to get back up he jumped on my back with all 4 paws. It hurt like hell. Sam stepped back and started circling me. I knew he thought I was down for the count. But he was about to learn otherwise. He lunged at me with all his strength. I immediately jumped up and shoved every ounce of my weight right into his chest. I jumped to my feet and looked at Sam just as he turned human once more.
It was over.
I phased back and tossed Sam his shorts before getting my own on.
Sam stood up, gasping for breath.
When he finally got his breath he walked over to me.
He gave me this look that made me think he was about to punch me.
But instead he put his hand out for me to shake.
So I did.
"Congratulations, Alpha." he said before releasing my hand and walking back into his house.
I knew he was gonna need a few days so I just decided to go home and wake up Leah and tell her the good news.
I pulled up to the house to the smell of hamburgers.
I walked in to find Leah cooking in the kitchen.
"Hey beautiful." I said as I came up behind her and hugged her from behind.
"Hey back." she said before turning around to kiss me.
"Where were you, I was getting worried." she said before turning back around to flip the burgers.
"Went to go talk to Sam. Told him you were pregnant. Oh yeah, and I challenged him for Alpha and won." I said casually knowing it would get a rise out of her.
"What? Jake I thought you didn't want to be Alpha. That's why you let Sam take the job." she said.
"I DIDN'T." I replied.
"Well what changed your mind?" she asked.
"Well, you did. You and the baby that is." I replied as she brought the burgers over.
"What do you mean?" she asked sitting down to eat with me.
"Well, I realized that, as Alpha, I could provide a BETTER future for us and our child. You already mean the world to me and, since this baby is you and me, he or she means a lot to me too." I said.
Leah smiled before coming over and sitting in my lap.
She gave me a kiss before saying "Thank you, and I love you."
I shrugged before saying "I know."
This earned me a smack on the chest.
I jokingly grabbed where she hit me and said "Ow."
After we had our laugh about that I kissed her passionately and told her "I love you too."
At this moment, I knew our future was bright. And that I couldn't have been any happier than I was at this moment.
With the woman I love and our child on the way.
