A/N: Sorry it took me so long to update. I had a busy weekend since I was out at the barn all day and then had to babysit. My shoulders are killing me since I almost got thrown and I've got strep throat or the flu, or the plague..not sure which, I'll know tomorrow for sure. So yeah I feel yuck and this is probably horrible but I wanted to get something up. Yes, yes Leah is being nice. Get over it. She's growing up.

"Errr…Hi, Nessie," I said when the freaky little child approached me. She had her arm extended and I knew she wanted to touch my face but it was just so damn weird.

Really the kid needed help. She needed friends and she needed a life away from her over protective vampire family. If I didn't despise the little brat so much I'd offer to take her out and show her the world but I did despise her so that plan was no go.

Nessie just inched her hand closer to my face, not saying a word. I looked around helplessly and just saw Jake nod at me. Making a face I looked at her and smiled sort of. "Go ahead, kid."

Her palm was cool on my burning skin but it was nowhere near as cold as the rest of her family. It felt rather good but I'd never admit to that even though I heard Edward laugh from the other room. He'd better keep his mouth shut. Nessie showed me myself. It was the day she was born and the look of pain on my face. And then there was confusion as she grew and I wasn't around even though everyone talked about me. The last thing she showed me was the day I came back and how happy Jacob was and that she was happy because he was happy. All she wanted was for him to be happy and since he liked me she liked me.

I was stunned as I watched her pull her palm away and just stare at me with those big brown eyes of hers. "Hey, thanks for that. You're not so bad either." She smiled and I was happy to see her teeth looked normal. Despite the fact her family didn't have fangs I always wondered about her. I actually wondered how her and Jacob's relationship would be if she had fangs. Would that like, be okay, in a kinky way? Edward just groaned.

"You don't like to be touched," Nessie stated. For someone only six months old she was very intuitive. She looked like she was about four or five and she acted even older. Time was flying by for the kid. They needed to buy her some toys and introduce her to boy bands. Not just that classical crap her father likes.

"No I don't." Physical contact really bothered me. I wasn't the 'hug all the time' kinda gal. "But that's how you talk so it's okay." Well I'd have to be okay with it trust me this contact with Nessie wasn't by choice. As I've said before the desperate girl wolf running out of option so she was working with the available options.

This was so awkward. I mean I could just see us talking about how I wanted her soul mate for my own but maybe she didn't want to be Jacob's Nessie. Maybe she wanted to be her own Nessie.

"That's why I'm on your side." Edward was in the room all of the sudden. It was just creepy when they did that. "You should use your big wolf ears to hear when I'm coming. Aren't they so much better to hear with?"

Edward was lame and he made lame jokes. Little Red Riding Hood I ask you?

"Now, lover leech, you're on my side why?" I was really quite curious. I hadn't really discussed this situation with anyone. Actually I avoided it like the plague.

"I want her to be able to make her own choices."

"Good reason pops."

Nessie was just staring back and forth between us. But I knew she had an inkling of understanding of what we were talking about. She had too.

"She knows you're going to be part our life now. Part of her life."

That was true. Even if things worked out for happily ever after with Jake and I, Nessie would still be a part of our lives. You can't terminate and imprint but you can decide what role you play in the imprintee's life. Which was what Jake was doing he was deciding to be like a brother rather than a lover.

"Oh, okay." I didn't really know what more to say so I stood up. I'd go find Rosalie or someone else that I wouldn't have to have stuffy conversation with. "Umm, bye, kid. Don't be afraid to come talk to me..or show me stuff. I don't bite" I ruffled her hair as I walked past her.

She grinned widely and then looked over at Jacob who gave her the thumbs up. I wasn't sure what that was all about so I just left the room before anything else weird could happen.

I was standing in the middle of the living room trying to figure out where everyone was. The house was always so quiet unless Emmett was watching football or Alice was dancing around singing like a fool. But none of that was going on.

"Pssst, Leah," Rosalie stuck her head out of the door that led to Carlisle's office. Blinking several times I looked around and then headed for the room. When I was all the way in Rose slammed the door shut.

"You guys are weird," I said simply. "What are we up to now? Am I seducing someone else? Because I'm not Jacob I think I can only handle one relationship at a time."

"That's not funny, Leah," Bella said from her spot on the little love seat.

"Really?" I asked. "I thought it was."

Our relationship had gotten no better. I still thought she was selfish and she still thought I was a bitch. We thought right about each other but that still didn't make it okay.

"Hey! Guess what?" I asked them all. I knew they'd be proud of me.

"What?" Creepy Jasper asked from behind a really thick book.

"I talked..well she did her-" I held my hand up and reached to touch Rosalie's face to demonstrate. "Nessie and I communicated!"

"Really?" Alice asked.

"Did you cuss out a kid, Leah?" Emmett asked.

"Oh, good job Emmett. Way to show your support for Leah," Rosalie scolded her husband. "That's good, Leah. What about?"

"Oh, how she likes me."

Bella made a face. "Hey, get over it Princess. She and I are going to have to get a long."

"Why do you call me Princess?" Bella asked in a dull voice. Actually all she had was a dull voice. The girl had no personality.

"Yeah, I think Rosie should be the Princess." Emmett put in as he threw a baseball up and down up and down.

"I like Rosalie," I explained simply.

"So Princess is a derogatory term?" Alice asked.

"Well, yeah." Really they didn't know much. "I used to call Rose Princess, but now she's like my favorite person ever."

"Awww, I love you too Leah!" Rose squealed.

"Whoa, hold the phones! Rose loves someone!" This was Jasper. "I've never really felt that emotion come from her unless it was about Emmett. And that's just a given."

I'd done the unthinkable. I'd managed to make Rosalie Lillian Hale be my friend. And, yes, we did go around calling each other by our middle names.

"Shut up Jasper."

"My life with you guys is pointless. Nothing ever happens." Truly in six months my life had gone from horrible to fucking awful. I didn't even get to have a little drama with Paul or Sam. Really, I rather missed when something, anything could happen.

Then it was dark. I couldn't see anything. "What the fuck?"

"Shhh," Jake said, as he tightened a blind fold over my eyes. "I'm kidnapping you. That's something happening, right?"

"I don't want you to kidnap me."

"Then tell me Leah who would you like to kidnap you?" Jacob's voice was full of sarcasm.

"As opposed to you?" I asked before making a 'mmm'ing noise and tapping my chin. "There's Brad Pitt. And then there is Ben Affleck, oh and Ted Bundy."

I heard all of the vampires, minus Bella, laugh at that.

"What? Bundy was sexy. And highly intelligent." This was all true. Ted Bundy did not look like a mass murderer and he was in law school. And in all of his interviews he was highly charismatic.

If I could see, I'd imagine that were all staring at me with perplexed looks on their face. But oh I couldn't see! Stupid, annoying, imprinted, want to be boyfriend, werewolf.

"Shut up Leah!" Jake roared, grabbing my hand and pulling me up. "I'm trying to do something nice for you and you're talking about mass murderers!"

"Hey, I get off on those mass murderers!" I said purely to tease him.

I heard him groan and push me out the door while Emmett and Jasper's laughter boomed out.

"Girlie, you're gonna be the death of me."

"Jay-ke," I broke his name into two as he intertwined his fingers with mine, helping me down the stairs. His hand twitched so I decided to try it again. "Jayyy-kee…where are we going?"

"Stop doing that Leah," he snapped, his fingers twitching. "It's a surprise. Must you ruin everything?"

I snorted. "Quite the charmer aren't you Black?"

"Do you have to make my life even more difficult?" He sounded like he was whining. So I was winning.

"I didn't make you imprint on your ex-love's daughter who happens to be a half-leech," I snapped. I heard the beeping of a cars' doors being unlocked. And the I was being shoved into the front seat of said car. "So I really don't think your life is difficult because of me."

He slammed the door and I assumed he walked around to the other side of the car and got in because the next thing I knew the ignition was turned on and we were backing out of the driveway. But it was possible that it was the magical car driving faeries.

"You could try being nice," he suggested.

"Ehh, I'd have to try really hard," I said. "I'd have to try so hard it might hurt."

I wanted to smack him because he was laughing so loudly but I couldn't see where he was. And if I went to just swinging I might cause an accident. I didn't want to die in a car, with Jacob, with a blindfold on my face. They might actually think Jake was another Bundy.

"Hey!" Jake said finally. "We're almost there!"

I twirled my finger around in the air. "Whoo!"

"You're killing my mojo."

"Mojo?" I asked. "You're an idiot."

"I'm your idiot, though," he smiled brightly.

"Nope I told you already that you're not my boyfriend."

"Oh please, Leah," he said. "I'm really trying here. I think I've done good. Everyone totally gets it."

"Gets what?" I asked. "Take this off me!" I pointed to my face.

"No. You'll peek."

"You're killing me," I muttered.

"Well, you're always killing me." The boy never missed a beat. I had to give him some credit. "But we're here..so in like, less than 5 minutes I'll take it off you. Actually, I can take more than the blindfold off you, if you wanted."

I could just imagine that grin on his face. The one that pissed me off and brightened up my day at the same time.

"Really, when I can see again I'm going to kill you, Jacob."

"Ok."

The car came to a halt and I fidgeted around for my seatbelt. The sooner I escaped from whatever leech owned vehicle I was in the sooner I'd be allowed to see again. "Patience," he muttered. I'm just assuming here, but he must have climbed out of the car, walked around and opened my door. I can say with confidence that he leaned across me, because I could feel his body heat and smell him, and undid my seatbelt.

"I promise when you see you'll be so happy that you'll forget you ever hated me," his voice sounded so cheerful and happy. Boy was he in for a surprise. Nothing he could do would make me happy.

My hand was in his again and he was leading me down a path while giving me instructions like 'step up', 'step down', 'careful of that log' and other really cute things. Or I thought it was cute anyhow. Then all of the sudden we stopped, but Jacob had to pull me back a step because I'd walked ahead of him. I couldn't help that everything was dark.

"Now, I'll take your blindfold off now," he reached up and did just that.

I couldn't believe my eyes when I saw where we were. I mean, damn. I thought for sure Jacob was going to have some hair brained scheme but no, this was probably the sweetest thing anyone had ever done for me.

Words were failing me and all I could say was, "Oh my god, Jake" and reach up and hug him.

A/N: Cliffhanger cause I'm too sick to keep thinking about this. It's taken me 12 hours to get this done.

I love Bundy. Really, I do. I mean sure he was all creepy and killed people, but he really was handsome and charismatic. Now I've probably scared all you readers off! Which would make me really sad. So, even after spending ALL day on this update(I wrote the other AN at like 10 this morning) I still don't feel better. I'm thinking it's the flu or the plague not strep. So review and make me feel better! I swear it'll help. Jake's starting to get a brain and I decided if Nessie could not be Jacob's wife or soul mate I might like her..but we'll see.
