PERFECT SYMMETRY

53. The fates

"Now come on, step up. We just need your weight"Leah said dropping the measuring tape and scribbling numbers on their corresponding place. She had been instructed to keep a record of Nessie's growth with the help of this new notebook, Carlisle had found the time of designing. He had been able to sketch through grpahics and numbers Nessie's expected growth.

"Can I go play now?"

"Are you done with your homework?" Leah asked, not moving her eyes from the notebook and studying the numbers.

"Yes I have." Nessie said brightly skipping outside into the porch, where Claire was sprawled playing with some barbie dolls.

"What's wrong?"Emily asked nothing Leah's sudden distress as she flipped over the pages of the notebook.

"Her growth keeps slowing down" Leah murmured.

"Well that's good, isn't it" Leah shook her head. And closed the notebook.

"Carlisle did this charts, following the pattern he worked over after studying Nahuel and his sisters. Nessie's getting further away from the marks over the last two months. Besides didn't you notice the scraped knee she's sporting." Emily nodded of course, the smell had gotten to her as soon as she had stepped into the house.

"Well it's two days old" Leah sensing Emily was not understanding what the big deal was, elaborated. "She's supposed to be a fast healer like you or me"

"What are you going to do?"

"Well I already called Carlisle and he needs to see her, but I haven't told Jake. I-"

"I'll book three tickets."Emily said putting her cold hand over Leah "I'm sure Claire can stay with Sue, and-"

"Just book two. I don't want to tell Jake until I know what's wrong with her"Leah said the words without even thinking them.

"Are you sure?" Leah nodded. She was very worried and to be honest a little scared. Jake would freak out. And she wouldn't be any help if she was freaking out as well. She needed to get in control of the situation. And for that she obviousl needed to figure out what was wrong.

"I could've never done this"Emily said "Maybe that's why Sam imprinted on me"

"What do you mean?"

"He was never meant to be Alpha"Emily said knowingly "Jake was, and maybe it was meant for you to be at his side."

"I really don't think so"Leah said a bit of humour in her voice. It sounded pretty and all. Jake and her pulled together by the fates.

But she honestly couldn't work Nessie into that. She was sure Jake and her were pretty much defying destiny, and maybe Nessie was too.

The question was far they would make it without paying for it.
