Leah P.O.V.

It was Friday and my Bella's mom was flying in this evening. She would pick up Renee alone and bring her straight down here to La Push. I was nervous to meet her mom but she told me not to worry. Throughout the week there were more brushes and a few gentle grabs but nothing more. I knew she wanted to go further but something was holding her back. That's when it dawned on me. 'She's a virgin!' I was elated that I would be her first and only…not to mention that I finally understood why she was so nervous and reluctant to give herself to me. 'I just need to make her comfortable in the fact that she is mine forever.'

I needed to talk to someone about this…I couldn't talk to mom. I mean come on who wants to talk to their mother about trying to make your girlfriend comfortable to have sex? That only leaves one person…Emily. I just hope she has some ideas. I hop in the shower then head over. We had two more join the pack this week and Seth along with a couple of the other younger boys look like they will phase soon as well probably because Edward and his mate joined the Cullens. This is the most vampires we've had in our area at any point. This makes me very happy because Sam is giving me the entire weekend off to spend with my Bella's mom.

My thoughts center around hoping my Bella's mom will like me as I walk to Emily's house. She was outside tending her garden when I walked up. "Hey Em!"

"Hi Leah!" she greeted.

"Em, I uh need some advice and there's really no one else to talk to." She nods for me to continue. "Well umm…this is kind of embarrassing." I can't help but blush. "Bella and I…we haven't really done much more than kissing and a few touches. I can tell that she wants to go further but she's like really nervous."

Emily nods turning her attention towards me. "And you're sure that she wants to go further? Not just hoping?"

I nod. "I realized this morning why she was so reluctant…she's a virgin. She's never even had a boyfriend or girlfriend before Em."

She looks to me surprised. "Oh."

I nod. "I just feel like I need to make her more comfortable with the fact that I will want her forever no matter what." She smiles and nods her agreement. "Except I have no idea how to do that." I sigh. "I mean just being around her is great but…I want to do more ya know?" she giggles and I can't help but blush again.

She's quiet for a moment then turns to me. "Leah, you need to talk to her about this…I know it will be hard but if you don't get it out in the open and soon it will only get worse." I sigh and nod. I should have known better than to think it would be something simple and easy.

Bella P.O.V.

I'm on my way to the airport to pick up Renee and I can't help but be nervous. 'I hope she likes my Leah.' I've already lost one parent because of this relationship and I don't want to lose another but I'm not giving her up for anything. I sigh as I pull into the lot and make my way inside to wait for Renee. It doesn't take long and she's walking over to me soon.

I pull her in for a hug which surprises her. "Hi mom! It's great to see you."

She's a bit thrown off by my enthusiasm. "Well Bella I already know I'm going to like her if she makes you this happy." She giggles and I blush. On the drive back she asks me questions about living in Forks and about school. After a few minutes she asks the first question I'd been waiting for. "So how did you meet?" I giggle thinking to myself. 'Well I don't think I can tell her about the first night in Forks so I'll just stick with the party.'

"Well, I went down to a party on the reservation with some friends from school. I was invited by Jacob Black, Billy's son." She nods knowing Billy is Charlie's best friend. "Not long after I got there I noticed her with some of her friends. She turned her head and our eyes met and I was gone."

I blush and Renee giggles. "Love at first sight huh?" I smile and nod. 'She doesn't have any idea how right she is.'

"We talked all night and exchanged numbers before I left. She called the next day and we spent most of the afternoon together…and she stayed the night." I mumbled the last words lowly but apparently not low enough.

Renee raised an eyebrow and I blushed. "Nothing happened that night mom."

She smiles "What about since then? How close have you gotten."

I blushed and whined. "Mooom" 'I do did not want to talk about this with her.' She looked at me expectantly and I knew I wasn't getting out of this. "We haven't really done anymore more than kiss mom. I guess I'm just too nervous." 'I really didn't want to talk about this but it does feel good to get it out.'

"What's wrong honey?"

I shrugged. "I'm really nervous I guess…shewillbemyfirst." I blurt out the last words.

She takes a moment to sort out my words. "Bella, you need to talk to her about this…I know it's hard but if you really care about her you need to tell her what's wrong."

I sigh. "I know mom…I will. Soon." As uncomfortable as it was I did feel better.

"So tell me what's she look like?"

At this I break into a grin. "She's sooo beautiful mom. She has chin length silky black hair. It frames her face perfectly and her skin-tone is a gorgeous shade of copper. Her umm…other assets are perfect too from what I can tell." I gush and a blush tints my cheeks. Renee laughs. We continue our small talk comfortably until we enter La Push. I start squirming in my seat a bit because I'm so nervous. "Almost there mom."

She giggles at my squirming. "Don't worry honey everything will be fine." We pull up in front of my Leah's house and I take a few deep breaths before I open the door.

Leah P.O.V.

I rush around the house trying to make sure everything is perfect. I'm wearing the jean skirt that I had on that night at the bonfire and an emerald green blouse. My Bella loves that color on me. Mom and Seth watch me pace back and forth biting their lips to stifle their laughs. "Leah honey calm down. It will be fine."

I scowl. "I've already taken away one of Bella's parents I can't let her lose the other…she just has to like me."

"Leah Marie Clearwater! What happened with Charlie is not your fault."

I turn sheepish…she never uses my middle name or that tone unless I'm in trouble. "Sorry mom I'm just nervous." She nods knowingly.

I hear her truck coming up the road and smooth my skirt trying to stay calm. The truck stops and the engine goes off. I wait a few seconds and take a few deep breaths then open the door. My Bella looks beautiful as always but now I can see where she got her looks. The hair and eyes come from Charlie but her face comes from Renee. I notice my Bella's jaw go slack when she sees what I'm wearing before it turns into a huge smile. She runs up the steps and into my arms placing a big kiss right on my lips. "You look beautiful." She whispers and I smile.

Renee is looking at us and I'm glad to see a smile on her face as well. I keep one arm around my Bella and hold out my other hand. "It's nice to meet you Mrs. Dwyer, I'm Leah."

She giggles and ignores my hand pulling me into a motherly hug. "It's Renee, please Mrs. Dwyer is my mother-in-law."

I nod and smile. On the inside I'm jumping in joy. 'She likes me!' I lead them inside and introduce Renee to my mom. They rush off into the kitchen gossiping like school girls. I shake my head. "And here I was wondering if they would get along." My Bella giggles and nods.

Bella P.O.V.

I sighed happily leaning into my Leah. We go up to her room and just relax on her bed. I can't help but think about what Renee said. 'She's right…I really do need to talk to her.' I look up to see her lost in thought as well. After a few seconds she looks down at me and I take my chance.

"Leah"

"Bella"

We say at the same time and we both giggle. She tells me to go first I take a deep breath and blurt it out. "I want you but I'm scared." I expect to see annoyance in her eyes but instead I see compassion and understanding.

She nods slowly. "This is what I wanted to talk to you about. I could tell you were getting nervous every time we did anything." I nodded slowly…I didn't realize it was that obvious. "It'll be your first time?" she asks questioningly.

I nod slowly not sure if this was good or bad. "I'm worried I won't be any good." I squeak out and she starts laughing. I glare at her…here I am pouring my heart out and she is laughing at me!

She immediately stops when she notices my glare. "Sorry baby." She coos to me. "I was just surprised that this was your problem…I thought maybe you just weren't sure."

I could see the worry on her face. 'She thought I didn't want her? That's crazy!' "No baby I'm sure about you…about us." I reassure her quickly.

She beamed at me lighting up the room. "Baby we can go as slow or fast as you want but please don't hold back because you are afraid you won't…please me." I tighten my hold on her.

There were tears in my eyes but I was managing to hold them back. "Bella, look at me." I couldn't resist such a simple request from her. I tilt my head to look into her eyes and she whispers three words that made my heart soar. "I. Love. You." and she presses a kiss lightly against my lips.

This time I can't stop the tears but this time they are for a different reason. "I love you too." I whisper. She wraps her arms tight and I snuggle into her embrace.

Leah P.O.V.

I could tell she was really worried about this so I decided this was the time to tell her what I've been wanting to say since the night we met at the bonfire. I look her in the eyes and say, "I. Love You." and I press my lips to hers. Her smile lights up my world and I see tears pouring down her face but I smile because I know they are tears of joy.

Then she whispers to me. "I love you too." and I feel like I'm flying. I pull her tight to me and the rumbling she loves so much starts up in my chest…I feel completely and utterly content.

We lay there for a bit longer when I hear my mom call for us. I get up and pull her with me and we go down to see our moms watching us with a smile. I know it's time for her to go but I don't want her to leave. I walk them to her truck and just before she gets in I give her a passionate kiss. I finally make myself let her go but not before I invite her to spend the next week, the first part of her Christmas break, here with me. She accepts happily and I watch until her truck pulls out of sight. I walk inside dreamily and can't help myself from thinking about how happy I've been because of her.
