Emily sat up in bed as she rubbed the unscarred side of her face to wipe the sleep away from it.
She looked to her side of the bed to see Sam's side of the bed empty and sighed. It had been this way since Leah passed away but she never blamed Leah for making her and Sam's marriage like this because the scarred woman knew. Sam still and always would have feelings for her dead cousin. She was his first and would be for as long as Samuel Uley lived and though many women on Rez have told her she should be jealous and cautious, she couldn't bring herself too. Emily messed Leah's life up because she made Sam cheat on her behind her back.
The Uley woman sighed at the hate, hurt, and most of all, betrayal at the sight of her and Sam when Leah was alive and kicking. Emily gave a shuddering breath before stepping out of bed and walking into the bathroom for a good face rub and teeth brushing.
After finishing, Emily walked down the stairs and was immediately starting on a small breakfast for herself. She cooked eggs, bacon, hashbrowns, and a muffin with orange juice on the side.
She ate slowly as she thought of the good times she had with Leah before all this wolf and imprint stuff happened. Emily jumped when she heard the phone ring and let a small sigh escape her then stood.
Emily looked down at the caller I.D to see it read 'Alice Cullen' and answered inmediately with a smile "Alice hello!" She started, "how are you?"
Sam walked in through the door to see his wife on the phone with the future-seeing leech and sighed but couldn't help the smile creeping onto his lips as his imprint seem to lighten up at the call and quietly sat in the chair facing her back. He felt a feeling he hadn't felt in a long time before he saw his imprint freeze on the phone as she started to shake.
"What...?" She said almost breathless with the shock of what she heard which made Sam alert with worry. "Em?" Said woman turned on the spot to her husband and felt tears of joy fall from her eyes as she dropped the phone and jumped at Sam. "She's alive..." Sam looked at her with raised brows and she gave a watery smile.
"Leah's alive!"
Leah sneezed as she sat in a plane seat. She saw Isaac talking to the flight lady and pointing at her slightly. The she-wolf could feel her mates panic even though he looked calm and collected on the outside, he was tearing himself apart in the inside. When he turned to her she gave him her biggest smile as he gave a small one back.
The she-wolf was nervous. Nervous to death. She was finally coming back home after all this time. Leah smiled despite her fear and nervousness. It had been so long since she saw the Cullens, her pack, and Sam's pack along with her brother and mother. She felt awful for letting them believe that she had passed but maybe they were better off without her? She hoped that they were. Leah didn't want to just re-invite herself back into her lives just like that and expect all of them to just accept once again.
"Sheila?" Leah looked up into the bright blue eyes of her mate and saw concern in them then smiled before motioning him to sit in his seat. Isaac sat sown quickly, never taking his eyes off her, and grabbed her hand.
"What's wrong honey?" Isaac asked and Leah sighed.
"I'm nervous." She uttered in a small voice and Isaac leaned in close to her in silent support. "Why so nervous?" He inquired in an equally small voice and Leah felt all her fear for returning home come to surface as she leaned her head on his shoulder and she let her tears fall. Isaac watched his mate and sighed, wanting to do everything in his power to make her better.
"All passengers please put on their seatbelts and stall still and upright and we ascend to Forks, Washington."
Isaac pulled Leah's hands into his and whispered, "Leah, honey, we have put on your seatbelt." Leah looked him in the eye and asked "How do you feel about this whole situation? The baby, going to my home, all of this." The vampire stared before sighing and looking at anywhere but her.
Leah felt as they were in the air but kept her gaze on Isaac. She wanted to know he felt. She needed too know how he felt.
Finally, Isaac turned towards her "I... hate the thing in your stomach because I know what it will do to you." Leah waited for him to continue, "I was once that thing in my mother and I came in a week or three. It was horrible." She watched as her mate gripped her hand in a grip that would make a regular human's hand ache. "I didn't want to hurt her or kill her but I wanted to come out even more and because of my selfishness, I killed my mother while my father had to watch in horror as the very thing that killed his wife was his own son."
Leah shushed him and moved the handle that separated them and pulled him closer to her in a tender hug. Leah felt horrible. All this time, her mate had suffered so much and she never even thought he was hurting. All she thought about was herself and that disgusted her. 'From this day forward, I'll take care of you now, so please, please let me.'
And with that, they fell asleep in a silent peace.
6 Boring Hours Later...
Leah sat up, running her hands through her sleeping mates hair, watching them land in Forks from the small window.
She had woken up two hours earlier to find her mates head resting in her lap. It was so cute. They made it to land safetly and Leah sighed with relief then smiled at Isaac's sleeping face.
"Wake up, sleepy head." She gently whispered while patting his hard skin. He opened his eyes and smirked, "I was neva sleep, sweetheart." Leah giggled and shook her head in amusement before knocking him off her and standing. The vampire pouted but his expression grew serious once he got close to the door. He proceeded to hang close to her back as they walked and Leah didn't know what hit her until she looked down and into the honey gold eyes of Alice Cullen who, in return, gave her a disbelieving look as if she were dreaming.
"Leah!" She shouted with happiness then froze when she saw the vampire behind him and heard a noise that made her wish her heart was beating only for Leah to hear it drop as she looked at the she-wolf's stomach then at Leah with venom tears in the corner of her eyes.
"Leah... what have you done?"
