Chapter 26

Jacobs pov

I could tell that Leah was still freaking out. Even though Katie completely accepted the fact that I was her dad. Leah still didn't like what she was seeing. I understood to. She was still worried that I might leave her again, but I wouldn't ever. I could feel it in my chest, the strings that kept me and Nessie together were beginning to lose a grip. Almost all of the cords had snapped. I could tell that there was no more Nessie and me.

Katie asked a bunch of questions and we quickly answered them but it was one question that got me the most.

"Daddy, why did you leave mommy like that?" that question stung the most. I looked at Leah, and I could tell she wasn't gonna answer that for me so I had to tell Katie myself.

I couldn't tell Katie about the imprint and I wasn't gonna tell her that Leah and I were shape-shifters.

Leah saw me struggling to tell her so she quickly covered for me

"Katie, Jacob had to do some work. That's why he left," she said. That wasn't the best thing she could have come up with but it would have to do.

"So your not gonna leave us again are you?" Katie asked.

"No. Never. I could never leave someone like you," I said and touched her nose, but I wouldn't tell her that her mom would castrate me if i did leave again.

"Good, because I would be very very sad."

"So would I," Leah commented and gave me "that look".

"I would never even dream about it," I told them both.

It surprised me to her Katie speak the way she did. she sounded so grown up. Katie was a very quite girl. She got most of that from her mom. Katie never really spoke but she could really well. After all she was 5 and would soon be 6.

"Hey Katie, can you do me a favor?" I asked.

"Yes daddy?"

It warmed me up so much to here her say that "Can you watch tv in here while me and mommy go talk?"

" Uh huh."

"Come on babe, lets go talk," I told Leah and got up.

"About what?"

"Just get up and follow me," I told her.

Leah thought for a moment. she knew that she either got up herself or she would be thrown over my shoulder. She finally got up. "Good choice," I told her.

I walked upstairs into Leahs room and sat down on her bed.

"What Jacob," Leah asked impatiently.

" Leah I think I broke the imprint," I told her slowly.

" How?"

" I don't know but I don't feel like I need to see her at all anymore."

"Or maybe you just saw her so you don't have to see her for a while," she suggested.

"No Leah, the imprint broke. It worked," I said and jumped up.

"What worked? Are you okay Jacob?"

"Yes im fine. Lately I've been thinking about other things than Renesme, like you. And I've been staying away from her as much as I could. And it worked. The less I thought about Renesme the less I want anything to do with her. Its you I want now. I don't care about Renesme anymore, and when you told Katie that I was her dad the imprint broke. It really broke."

"Jake I dont think that I broke. I just thin you lost your mind."

"I don't think so."

I took a step closer to her and lock my eyes on her. I looked down at her and put my arms around her waist and pulled her close to me. She blushed and looked at the ground. I put my index finger under her chin so I could lift her face to look at me.

" You are so pretty when you blush," I told her. Then I kissed her. We locked lips and never bothered to breath.

I was right to. Leah was really pretty. I never got to see how pretty she really was because I was always blinded by the imprint, but this time I could finally see the beautiful women I was supposed to be with.

We completely got lost in the moment and forgot about Katie until she gasped in the doorway.

We quickly stopped our kiss and turned to face her. I looked down at Leah and she was really red I laughed and went to pick Katie up. Leah shot me a look.

"What are you doing up her kid?" laughed.

" I came to get a blankie," she told me.

" Oh Okay. How about you go back down stairs and I will get you a blankie?" I asked.

" Okay," Katie looked at Leah with a smile and went back down stairs.

I looked at Leah to " At least we weren't doing anything bad," I laughed.

She hit me and went to the closet to get a blanket. I watched her and sighed. She looked back at me with a confused look.

" I missed you much Leah, and your a good kisser," I laughed and fell on her bed.

" Hahaha your funny, lets go," she hissed.

"Wait," I grabbed her arm to stop her "I really did miss you Leah, so much." I pulled her in to kiss her for just a little longer and she didn't fight.

" Jake, I missed you to," she said im between our kiss. She finally pulled back. "We will finish this later," she said

" Lookin forward to it," I laughed. We walked down the steps and sat next to Katie and watched Americas Got Talent.

It was finally over. I was free now, and I had everything I need. Katie and Leah. I felt like Jacob again.
