A/N: Hi GothChiq8, Sue doesn't hate Leah, but she choose Emily and Sam's side after the imprinting and thinks Leah overreacted and that she's being childish. But, yes she did raise her and love her, just not to the full extent. Alice only knows what she saw in one vision which does happen in this chapter. There are still several things about Leah that Alice does not know.

Chapter 4

As we drive up to the beach on the reservation, where the wedding is being held I start to panic. Well pretend to start to panic. Alice knows part of who I truly am and I plan to keep it that way until my grave. Just as I start into full panic attack I see Jake becoming more and more concerned. Finally when he can take it anymore he says,

"Leah, you know that I said that you can back out of this event. I know how it feels. I know that you need the closure, but you-"

"No Jake-" I cut in "I have to do this to show everyone that I'm not just a bitter ex-girlfriend. That I can move on and that my life does not revolve around them."

"Fine, but we need a safety word, if it feels to much just say the word and we can leave."

"I'll be fine Jake really." I say smiling. He really is the best friend someone could ask for. "But if you insist make it Baguette."

"Baguette? Leah really, that's the best you can come up with? Wait, are you hungry?"

"Yeah, sorry oh almighty alpha, not all of us can come up with superb safe words and yes I'm starving. I haven't eaten anything at all today."

"Well hopefully it won't take too long. By the way, Embry is going to lose it seeing you in that dress." Jake teases if only he knew what it took for me and Alice to find this dress." You know, I'm still surprised that he asked to go with me. "

"Leah, anyone would be blind to not see that he has a major crush on you."

"Well, hopefully it won't break his heart when I leave." I say regretfully. Embry and I could have been together, but I know that he will find his imprint when I leave, and that would be for the best. As the car comes to a stop I see him standing there, like there's not a care in the world. Damn I didn't plan on this. Didn't I tell him never to visit? As I exit the car I see Embry walking towards us and he also notices us getting out to and starts our way.

"Leah… wow, you look stunning." Embry says helping me out of the car.

"Thanks Embry, that's very sweet of you." I say smiling. My eyes still locked with the stranger and longing starts to fill in them. Fuck, where is Alice when you need her? Speak of the devil and she shall arrive.

"Embry I was wondering, could you help me with something? "I look at Alice and mouth thank you, she nods her head. Once she is gone, the man is standing right beside me.

"Leah, it's nice to see you again." He says taking my hand. Oh how I've missed his voice; so rough and deep. Shit, Leah say something back.

"It's nice to see you again too." I answer smiling "We should head towards the wedding before it starts." As he leads me through the crowd holding my hand, it starts to bring up memories. Memories that are buried deep and hidden from everyone.

As I approach my seat I can see Embry and the rest of the packs face looking at me with confusion. Great now they are wondering who I'm with. Not something that I can tell them. I look at Embry and I see he's hurt and I then look at Jake and see surprise. You think that I would stop there, but no I take a look at Alice and she's just smiling, while the rest of the Cullen's are confused. As he leads me through the rows towards my seat, I realize we aren't heading there but to new seats entirely. As we get closer to the archway see my mom and Sam. Shit I wasn't ready for this yet. Now I have to explain him to them. He knows everything about them and they know nothing about him. Well maybe the exception of Alice. Damn is Edward trying to read his mind? That's not good.

He leads us to seats near the very front, not my favourite spot but oh what the hell. For the first time in ages I say "Nate, maybe this isn't such a good idea after all."

"Shush Leah, just enjoy the wedding and we'll talk afterwards." I hated it when he did that, but I couldn't help but obey. He is after all my life.

"Oooo damn, the she wolf got told."

"Shut it Paul that's not very nice." Thank you Rachel. Unfortunately that didn't stop the whispering. The wedding passed without a hitch. I didn't even notice because I always found it hard to concentrate when Nathan was around. I guess that still hasn't changed. I didn't really come back from my thoughts until we reached the reception when Alice started talking to me.

"Leah, honey is everything ok? You've looked like you've seen a ghost?"

"No Alice. I'm fine." Finally remembering my manners I turn towards Nate and say "Nathan, this is my friend Alice. Alice this is Nathan the guy I was talking about."

Alice gives me a look, which I know that means that we are going to have a talk later. Thankfully she plays along with it. "Oh so you're the guy who Leah won't stop talking about. It's so nice to finally meet you. Let me tell you something, Leah did you no justice you are a smoking guy."

"Haha, nice to meet you Alice. Thank you so much for the nice compliments. However, I'm sorry to say but my Leah has not extended the same curtsy this way I know almost nothing about you." Nathan says pulling that sexy grin that could win over any woman in five seconds. Looking around it already has. Even Emily is giving me the stink eye. Oh my, Sam looks furious that's not good. I think it's time to make our exit. Shit the bride and groom are coming our way. Crap, Nathan's not budging guess we are going to have to duke it out. Shit couldn't he have picked a better time to do this than now? Damn here they are.

"Hi Leah, how did you like the wedding? Oh I don't believe I met your date yet who is he?" So polite Emily is maybe this won't be so bad after all.

"Hi Emily, the wedding was wonderful we both enjoyed it. I'm Nathan, Leah's Husband." Oh crap,never mind he just had to say it didn't he.

"HUSBAND! LEAH CLEARWATER explain to me this moment what he means? You can't be married!" screams my mom.

Ok this just officially got worse.

"Actually Mrs. Clearwater we –"I cut Nate off before this gets even more out of hand.

"Sorry mom, just ignore what he said." I say smiling hoping that everything will turn around, but no Nate just can't take a hint.

"Sorry Mrs. Clearwater that we have not met before, but your daughter and I are married and very much in love. I'm sorry that you were not invited to the wedding but it was kind of a fast one." Nathan says smiling that awarding winning smile. HA even my mom is under his charms.

"Leah sweetie why didn't you tell me?" whoa that was a complete 180!

"Mom it just sort of happened two years ago. Nobody has really asked about my personal life so it's not like it was a secret. I was going to be leaving tomorrow so that I could go live with Nathan but he came here instead to surprise me." I smile up at Nathan only he could bring me this much happiness in a place that holds only dark memories for me. I see out of the corner of my eye Sam fuming. Oh great just what I need. Can't he just get past all that nonsense?

"We are sorry Mrs. Clearwater, if you would like we could always hold a small ceremony here. We both understand how much this means to you." Nathan says

"No that's not happening-"Sam spits out furiously.

"Sam, sweetie calm down, you're shaking…" Emily tries to calm Sam down, but by the looks of it it's not helping. Hmm that's strange usually a touch by the imprint calms them immediately.

"I'm sorry Sam. Since when did your opinion count in what I do?"

"Leah" Nathan says grabbing my arm. OK so maybe that was rude.

"Nate honey, can't we just go right now." please I think looking into his eyes.

"Fine let's go then." He says looking away. It does help lots since he knows what I'm thinking.

"It was a pleasure meeting you Mrs. Clearwater. Congratulations Sam and Emily on your wedding day. All the best wishes in the future. Oh and before I forget here is your wedding present from Leah and I. "

Emily took the envelope that Nathan held out to her. She started to open it and gasped "Oh my god!" She then starts to jump up and down smiling like there is no tomorrow.

"What is it Emily?" Sam asks surprised.

"It's an all paid vacation to Hawaii. Hotel, car rental everything paid for. Oh thank you so much Leah and Nathan. This is the best wedding gift ever. Thank you so much." She says hugging both me and Nathan. To say that I was surprised was nothing. Nathan always surprised me, you think after two years I would get used to it but no.

"Honey, I think it's time that we go our flight leaves early in the morning and it's getting later. You still need to get your things." Nathan says looking at me.

"Ok, let's go then." As we are leaving Alice runs up to me and tells me that the Cullen's and the pack are having a meeting at 10pm that I should go to. As much as I didn't want to go Nathan said that we would.
