A/N: So here's a little clip of Leah when she meets Davina and her parents
*I use the Jamaican accent once in this chap, and then no more. Shouldn't be too hard to read though.
*It's another shorty but I guess I really didn't intend for these ones to be long anyway.

"That all Ms. Clearwater?"
Leah looked at the receptionist with a bright smile on her face as she took the manila envelope containing her passport and travel documents.
"Yes, that's all I need."
Leah offered the woman another bright smile before turning and strolling out of the Seattle Passport Agency. As Leah left the building and headed towards her car she could barely stop herself from doing a cartwheel she was so joyous.
You see Leah Clearwater had been dissatisfied with her life.
She had been dissatisfied for a very, very long time.
She still lived in La Push.
She still lived in her childhood home with her overprotective mother and annoying younger brother.
And everyone else around her was living.
Jacob had run off with the Renesmee and the Cullens abandoning his father and pack.
Sam and Emily were expecting their first child, something the couple constantly talked about. Leah didn't have a care for it and she suspected that she never would.
The other pack members were either at the same stage with their imprints or just getting married. Again, Leah didn't have a care for any it. She just wanted out. She couldn't grow or live in a place that was filled with her very painful past and all the people who dismissed and trivialized her very real and justified feelings.
But it was over now.
Today she would be hopping on a 1pm flight to Alberta, Canada. Sure she could have wolfed out and ran there. But she wanted to be there, really be there. To live, to work and just be. She could imagine herself living in a little apartment watching movies on her own couch with popcorn and soda. Maybe even hanging out with friends when she made some. It would be nice and simple.
However, Leah's day (after picking up her passport and travel info) was not going to be so simple.
For starters her drive from the Seattle Passport Agency to the William Fairchild International Airport took almost three hours.
When Leah finally made it to the airport it was only an hour and a half until her flight.
She still needed to pick up her ticket, check her luggage and go through customs.
Those precious fifteen minutes went to finding a parking space in one of the nearby airport parking lots and then another five went to her walk to the airport entrance.
Inside the airport she was damn near running as tried to find the ticket line.
But of course this part couldn't be simple either. Just as she was about to pass the bathrooms she felt a buzz on her side. She stopped and removed her cellphone from the case hooked to her jeans.
Leah looked down at the phone and groaned before she answered it reluctantly.
"Leah where are you?" Was her mother's greeting. Sue Clearwater was nothing if not direct.
Leah pondered on whether or not she should say anything.
"I'm at the airport." When would there be a right time to tell her mother? There would never be one.
"The airport? What are you doing there?"
Leah sighed deeply. "I'm leaving?" The words were stated softly, almost a whisper.
"What? Leah I can't hear you?"
"I'm leaving!" This time she was louder, firmer.
"No…"
"Yes. I'm leaving today."
"How could you be so selfish?!" Her mother yelled into the phone.
Leah in no way thought her mother would take the news of her leaving well especially since Leah was delivering it to her so late in the game. But Leah knew if anyone had been told any sooner than her being at the airport or actually out of the country that she would never get away and she desperately wanted to get away.
Leah took a deep breath, trying to calm herself. "Mom, I need this. I know you will not understand right now, but one day you'll get why I need to do this. I'll call you when I get where I'm going, bye."
Leah hung up before Sue could say a word.
Before she shoved her phone back into its case, she checked the time. It was exactly 12pm. She still had one hour before she the flight. She still needed her ticket, her baggage needed to be checked and she needed to go through customs.
She looked around herself, trying to figure out where the ticket line might be
"Tickets, tickets…vending machine?"
Leah eyed the vending machine sign that was next to the restroom sign and smiled. It couldn't hurt to make a little detour (she was already right there since Sue had called her just before she passed the two), get a snack for her carry on and maybe a short trip to the bathroom.
This couldn't be simple either.
When Leah entered the little hallway that that contained the bathrooms and the vending machines she was met be the whimpers of a little girl with dark skin, bright brown eyes and a head full of bushy hair.
Leah immediately went to the girl and kneeled before her. "Are you lost sweetie?"
The little girl, who's cheeks wet with tears, nodded before quickly stating, "I don know weh I am. I want mi madda an mi fadda."
Leah resisted giggling at the girl's cute accent and wiped her wet cheeks gently with her thumbs instead; they were the chubbiest things Leah had ever seen.
"It's going to be okay."
Leah didn't think twice before she leaned in and scooped the girl up into her arms.
"I'll find them no matter what."
Leah carried the girl outside of the restroom/vending machine area and began to continue walking up the way she had been before Sue had found her.
She didn't make it more than twenty feet before she spotted a man and a woman who looked like they were losing their minds.
"Mama! Papa!" The little girl yelled alerting the two.
Leah immediately let the girl down and she ran straight into their arms. Leah watched the scene with a smile on her face. The man and the woman, obviously the little girl's parents, hugged the girl tightly and kissed her face all over. They looked as though the never wanted to let the girl go again. When they looked up toward Leah, they looked at her as though she were an angel sent from heaven.
"Miss!" The woman called out. She had the same dark skin and kinky hair that the girl did.
Leah walked toward the group slowly and when she was just a couple feet away she stopped. "Yes?"
"You found her?"
Leah nodded.
"Thank you, thank you, thank you!" The woman stated as she pulled the Leah into a tight hug.
Leah's eyes widened in surprise. She definitely was not expecting that. A thank you sure but I bear hug, no definitely no.
When the woman pulled back, Leah smiled at her. "It was no problem, I'm very happy that I could help."
The man, who had caramel colored skin but the same bright brown eyes as the girl, offered her a warm smile in return. "We are very grateful…"
"Leah, Leah Clearwater."
"Thank you, Leah." Both the man and woman stated at once.
The little girl, who was now standing beside her father, smiled up at Leah. "Thank you Le-ah!"
Leah smiled back at the girl and bent to tweak the girl's nose causing her to giggle. "You're very welcome-."
"Davina! D-A-V-I-N-A!" The little girl interrupted.
Leah laughed. "Very pretty name Davina."
"I'm Wesley and this is my wife Sharon."
"It's very nice to meet you all."
"And where are you headed Leah?"
Wesley cocked his head at his wife. "Must you be so nosey woman?"
"Like you aren't either?" Sharon challenged.
Leah smiled, amused. "It's fine. I'm going over to Canada. Trying to start anew."
"Then why not to Jamaica? Our pack would love you as our own."
Leah's eyes widened. "P-pack?"
This time Wesley spoke. "You are a wolf aren't you?"
"Obviously she is Wes, I can smell it on her."
Leah nodded slowly. "I am." Leah was slightly dazed. If Sharon could smell it on her that meant she was a female wolf that meant Davina could be as well. In that moment so many questions began to run through Leah's mind. Leah's train of thought was broken by Sharon speaking once again.
"Then why not Jamaica? As I said our pack would treat you as our own."
Before Leah could answer, she felt a buzzing come from her phone again. "One moment please." She pulled her phone out and damn near tossed the phone when she saw who was calling.
Sam.
Sam was calling her phone. He never called her phone unless he couldn't reach Seth and he needed to relay important pack info. That meant Sue had told him about her being at the airport.
She looked up from the phone damn near seething but then her eyes fell on Davina. The little girl was still smiling at her.
Suddenly everything became very simple.
She didn't want to be in La Push, she couldn't do it anymore.
She was going to miss her flight to Canada. She still needed to get her ticket, get her baggage checked and go through customs and she had less than an hour to do so.
So why not?
"Yes."
Wesley raised an eyebrow. "You'll come to Jamaica with us?"
Leah smiled widely. Her heart was beating quickly and she felt excited and jittery. "Yes." She stated again. "I need to get a new ticket and what not but yes I want to come with you all."
Sharon smiled. "You heard the girl Wes, she needs a new ticket. Let's get on with it."
Wesley smiled at Leah. "Are you sure? I mean my wife's a crazy woman." He yelped when Sharon elbowed his side. "Come on dear, it's true."
"Is not!" Then she turned to Leah. "Come child, grab Davina's hand and follow us to the ticket line. We'll get you a new one."
"Really? You'll buy me a new ticket?"
Wesley chuckled. "We invited you along Leah and besides it's no problem to us."
Leah was amazed. "Thank you very much."
"It's no problem Leah," Sharon stated as they began to walk toward the ticket line. "Now come along."
Leah smiled and took Davina's tiny hand in her own.
Davina looked up at her with a bright smile on her face. "You're coming home with us?"
"Yes, I'm going home with you."
A/N: Sorry this took so long but school has been pretty crazy. As always I hope you guys enjoyed the chapter and please review :)!
*Also I may edited this way too quickly so there may be a couple of mistakes.
*Sam and Emily's first born plus other pack kids are mentioned once in the main story in chap 4 (I think) and this kind of hints at Leah's apathy towards their growing families.
