The Brother I never Knew
Chapter 6
Fusedtwilight: Hey everyone I am so glad you're all enjoying this fic. Now just to let you know I have a poll going on. Not to spoil you but I do intend to have Jamie phase soon. The poll is whether he should imprint or not. Just go to my Author page and vote. Your vote can and will effect how the story goes.
Oh and seeing as how there are so many new wolves for both packs if anyone wants they can create there own wolf characters. Just come up with a name and description and a bit of a personality profile, then e-mail me and I will put them in the series. And when I introduce them I thank you in my Author notes and give you your due credit. Hope you like the idea
Seth P.O.V
I couldn't believe it Leah was finally coming home! After those European vamps came here she had left. She had left a note for everyone saying good bye. But for me and mom she had left a note saying not to worry and that she would keep in contact.
Me and mom were doing some extra cleaning, we wanted everything to be perfect when she came back. We finished in record time and mom started to make something to eat. I was sitting on the couch watching TV when I heard footsteps approaching.
There was a knock on the door and I quickly answered it. There was Leah with a bag slung over her shoulder. I gave her a big hug and said the only thing I could think of,
"Welcome home!"
Leah P.O.V
"Ahhh my brother loves me......what a pussy" I said starkly.
Seth just laughed and hugged me harder, "Come on in mom's making dinner" he said and I came back into my home.
Nothing had changed. Everything were it had been when I had left. Not a thing was out of place, did I even leave? Mom came in her face beaming with happiness "Oh Leah" she sobbed latching on to me and began to cry. "I was so worried".
"Its ok mom I'm home" I said trying to sooth her. Ya I'm home now. Now I got to look forward to a lot of bad memories, which will lead to a lot of angst ya welcome home Leah!...notice the sarcasm.
"Oh sweetie, come on I made something to eat" she said, taking my hand and dragging me into the kitchen.
Mom had made a magnificent feast. But when you live of freezer food anything seems magnificent. We sat at the table, talking, laughing, all we needed was dad and it would be like the old day's. The days before wolves, leeches, imprinting.
"So Leah how has you been?" mom asked.
"Same old, same old. I did a string of odd jobs they never lasted, struggled to pay rent and have enough for food".
"Did you find what you were looking for?" Seth asked casually, but the look in his eyes let me know what he was really asking.
""No I didn't imprint if that's what you were asking. I just needed sometime by myself is all" I said.
"How did that go for you?" he asked.
"It was ok, it was nice. But after a while it got lonely, I had no one to talk to, no one to spend my time with. Plus I...I mi..mis"
"Oh my god" Seth said looking amazed "I think she is trying to say...she missed us!"
"Bite me twerp" I sneered "its ok Leah we missed you to" he said smiling.
"Oh speaking of which, Seth you should take Leah with you tonight" my mom said.
"Were to?" I asked, dreading the answer.
"Sam and Emily's there having a get together tonight at eight" Seth said.
"I don't think" I began.
"Oh please Leah go" my mother begged "Every one has missed you terribly; imagine the look on there faces when they see you there".
"Mom, I don't think I can go there just yet" I said quietly.
"But you must meet Jamie" my mother said.
"Who?" I asked. The name didn't ring a bell. Maybe another Quilute had phased.
"Sam's brother" she said.
"BROTHER!" I and Seth shouted.
"Yes haven't you heard?"
"Just got back to town mom" I said flabbergasted.
"Well his mother called earlier and said last night a young man came to his house claming to be his half-brother" she said.
We sat there in stunned silence. Who would have thought something like this would have ever happened?
"You know I think I will go" I said getting up to go shower.
"Why the change of heart?" Seth asked.
"Some strange kid comes along and is going to be at there place? This I got to see" I said with a smile.
Looks like I got here just in time.
Sam P.O.V
After I left the house and got some good distance I phased. I quickly ran through the forest to meet with the others. I heard them in my head as I flew through the woods.
"Where are you?" Jared asked.
"I'm on my way now" I said.
"Where is he?" Paul asked referring to my new brother.
"At home with Emily" I said.
As I neared to where we were supposed to meet I felt other minds Dan, Collin, Brady, Chris, and Kry's joined as well.
"Who's Jamie?" Brady asked.
Before I could stop myself the images and memories sprung forth into the collective conscious of our pack.
"Woh!"
"No way!"
"Didn't see that coming"
They all had there own reactions to Jamie's presence.
"Enough" I said "We'll talk once I get there" I said and arrived within a few minutes.
"Alright now business first" I said.
"Nothing new" Jared said. After Jake left I made him my Beta, "No new leech's or anything".
"What about Jake's pack?"
"There still sticking to their side as they promised" Jared said.
After the incident with the European vamps I and Jake had talked about what areas of responsibility were for the respective packs. Many of the wolves who phased after the vamps came here came to my pack. Add them plus the seven that joined before and my pack was about 42 including me, Jared, Paul, Collin, and Brady. Jake had added twelve new members to his pack making a total of 17.
"So who is this kid?" Paul asked.
"According to the files he brought with him, he is my brother from my father and an illegitimate affair he had with another woman" I said heavily. Once again my life was interrupted by something he did.
"Are you sure? You might want to get some new tests" Jared said.
"We're planning on doing that, but I'm certain he is my brother"
"Then why get the tests?" Collin asked.
"He himself has admitted his mother slept around. I think he wants to get these tests just to make sure for himself" I said.
"So what are you going to do?" Dan asked.
"Take him in of course" I said, "He's my brother"
"What about your mom?" Paul asked and the image of my mothers angry face popped up.
"I'll talk to her. I can't just shut him out, plus Emily seems to have taken a shine to him"
"That's our Emily" Brady said fondly.
"He'll be at our place for dinner tonight so you can all meet him" I said.
"What's he like?" everyone wanted to know.
"Very polite, a little shy I think so I can't give you exact specifics" I said.
"Oh sorry to change subjects" Collin said "Seth called and said he's brining a friend with him"
"A friend?" I asked
"Probably a girlfriend or something" Paul said.
"He seemed really excited" Collin said.
"Probably no one important" Dan said.
The meeting ended and I headed off to work. But my mind was still left to wonder on my new found brother. I wonder what he and Emily are doing right now?
Jamie P.O.V
We were at a second hand store getting me some new clothes.
"Sorry" Emily apologized "But if I had known you were going to come I would have got more money from the bank yesterday before they closed".
"Don't apologize" I said smiling "It's my own fault I should have phoned ahead of time".
"Ok do you like these?" she asked showing me a few shirts.
"They look fine" I said "Please don't over spend yourself on me" I said. I didn't want her blowing her money just to give me some comfort. I didn't want to owe any debts.
"It's ok, I hope I'm not overwhelming you?" she asked.
"It's fine" I said. "I just don't want you to spend too much money on me" I said.
"Its fine" she said waving her hand, "Were having a dinner tonight and I figured you might be..." she trailed off.
"I might be embarrassed wearing my rags" I said with a smile.
"Oh I'm sorry I didn't mean!" she quickly said thinking she offended me.
"Because you're right I would be embarrassed in those rags" I said with a laugh.
Her face brightened "Oh don't do that" she said playfully swatting my arm.
After we bought the clothes we were walking through the parking lot. As we were walking we were to busy talking to notice were we were going and bumped into another guy.
"Watch where your going freak!" he snapped at Emily.
The man started to walk away. I looked at Emily and saw how her face had saddened at his remark. I didn't know if the man was racist or just being a prick, but after she had let me into her home and bought me clothes I could not just let it slide.
"I'll be right back" I said walking to follow the rude man.
"Jamie don't" she said.
"Go tot he car I'll be right back" I said jogging to find the man.
I found walking to his car when I approached him "Excuse me" I said getting his attention.
"What!" he snapped.
"I believe you made a rather rude comment about my friends physical appearance. You will apologize for being rude to her" I said calmly, my face reasonable.
"Shove off" he said turning his back to me, wrong move.
I rammed his back shoving him against his car. I grabbed his right hand and twisted it so he wouldn't move, he squealed in pain and that small empty part of me enjoyed his pain. He had hurt her feelings, this suffering was justified.
"AHHHH!" he screamed in pain.
"Shut up" I snarled my face lost its calm, my voice cold and cutting.
"Let me go or I swear" he threatened.
"I said shut up" I said twisting his arm making him moan "Alright asshole listen up, here is how I see it your either going to A. Do the smart things and apologise to the lady, or B. Be stupid and I teach you how to respect your betters"
"I'll scream" he threatened.
I wrapped my hand around his through and squeezed "Not if I break your neck first"
"You're crazy!"
"Ya, best not to piss me off eh"
The man did the best thing, he apologized to Emily. She was stunned to see the man's heartfelt apology. Then watched as he quickly ran off.
"Jamie what did you say to that man?" she asked amazed.
"Oh just had a talk is all" I said helping her put the bags in the car "It was easy you just got to know how to talk to people"
Leah P.O.V
After me and Seth had our showers we got dressed. It was a bit of a walk from our place to Sam and Emily's but it was worth it. It was a beautiful night out and I wasn't in a hurry, even to meet the new scandal of La Push.
"You ok?" Seth asked me.
"Same old same old" I said.
"I'm glad your back sis" he said looking at the ground.
I gave him a hard enough nudge were he almost fell "I'm glad to be back to bro"
"Really?"
"Really. I told you I didn't like being alone" I said.
"Man I can't wait to see the looks on everyone's faces when they see you there"
"Whose all going to be there?" I asked.
"Sam, Emily, Jake, Embry, Paul, Rachel, Kim, Paul, Claire, Jared, Collin, Brady, you and me. The old pack"
"Old pack?"
"It's our little joke" he said with an ironic smile "Us old pack brothers just hanging out like the old days"
"What about this new kid?" I asked.
"Ya him too, so we'll probably have to be all hush hush about the pack"
"I don't see how there going to manage to keep him in the dark, Sam is the pack leader" I said.
"Oh it get better" Seth said smiling.
"What?" I asked.
"Guess who Jake is bringing to this party?" Seth said slyly.
I thought for a second. The only person who Jake could bring that would make Seth have such a shit eating grin was "No freaking way!" I said shocked "He's going to bring that little half-leech to La Push! Jesus Sam must have had a fit" I said.
"He did the first time"
"First time?"
"Ya right after you left, he brought Ness to the beach. Sam flipped I thought for sure they were going to fight" he said.
"What happened?"
"He just brought her to the beach to play and when Sam saw them he freaked. He went on how it was breaking the treaty because she's a Cullen and how she is dangerous "he scowled" Really stupid stuff really as if she would drink some ones blood".
"She is half leech" I reminded.
"Leah not you to" he groaned.
"I'm just saying accidents happen you know" I defended.
"She's really sweet you know" Seth said.
"I'm sure she is" I said "So how did Jake convince Sam to let her in his house?"
"Well Sam may not like the Cullens but he still respects the treaty, but the other wolves' aren't so nice. Plus there's some tension between the two packs you know the whole my pack is cooler then yours. Jake and Sam are trying to keep the peace between the two so Jake suggested he introduce Nessie to some of Sam's pack as a kind of showing of trust between the Cullens and the La Push wolves"
"How did he convince the others to let her here?"
"Bella helped, she convinced Edward that Jake would protect her, plus he would have me, Embry, and Quill there in case something happened"
"You worried?" I asked.
"About something? No, this Jamie will be there plus your here" he smiled "And after seeing you beat Quill and Embry's ass there's no way things will get out of hand"
We both laughed at the memory. We continued our walk in silence, we got closer to there house and I wondered what everyone's reaction to me would be. Would they be happy, sad, angry? Only one way to find out.
Author: Next chapter Leah and Jamie meet again, what will be everyone's reaction be to her coming back? And what will Nessie's presence cause to happen? Till next time and don't forget to vote. And if you have any ideas for new pack members e-mail me.
