So… I don't know. I had writer's block and I just decided to write a little one shot about the first pack member that meets Nessie. Seth. I might do each pack member but I don't know. My other story, High School is Hard Enough!, is my priority.

SM owns Twilight.

Jake had been in the Cullen house for a long time.

You mean the Cullen crypt? Leah sneered.

You don't have to be here. Jake even told us to go. No one is making you stay. I retorted.

But the fact was, Leah was happier in Jake's pack. No Sam in her head, no Paul, no Jared, no Embry, no… well, you get the point. I guess only having Jake and me in her head was better for her.

I was crushed when Sam broke it off with Leah. He was like my big brother in a lot of ways. My dad, he, and I would all go fishing and I truly thought he would be my brother-in-law one day.

But fate had other plans for all of us. Sam got Emily, and Leah got bitterness.

I love my sister and everything. But… Sam broke her. She was never the same after. She was depressed over her break up and then over our dad's death. And then she became the only female wolf.

I understand why she is like she is. But I don't like it.

How long has Jake been in there? She asked.

I don't know. Not too long. He told me he'd tell us about his trip later.

Leah and I were silent for a few minutes while we patrolled around the Cullen's property. Leah was thinking about her chat with Bella while Jake was gone. She was harsh.

I told her what she deserved to hear. She's toying with his heart and he doesn't deserve that. She defended herself.

Well, you could have been a little nicer about it. I don't think calling her a selfish bitch was what she deserved. And think of how much stress you caused her and the baby!

Seth, shut up. It not a freakin' baby, it's a…monster. And why are you so worried about it anyway? You know Sam isn't going to let it live. She snarled at me.

I cringed at the thought. I didn't want to fight the Cullen's. They were just to…human. I was the only one in the pack who didn't mind the Cullen's. They were peaceful vampires that we could live with.

I didn't even blame then for my phase. In my mind, that was all on Victoria. She's the one who caused my dad's heart attack and my subsequent phase. The Cullen's wanted her dead just as much as we did.

And being allied with them during the newborn war was awesome! Edward and I made one good team taking out those two bloodsuckers. He was a good guy and he loved Bella more than anything.

Now, that being said, I wasn't exactly happy with the girl right now. Jacob was my friend and he was hurting him. I don't know why she couldn't just let him go. I guess she loves him, too. But just in a…friendly way. Which is the worst kind of rejection.

Both Edward and Jacob loved her. And she loved them both. But the love of her existence was Edward, and Jake was her best friend. Bella and Edward were married and about to have a child together, and Jake couldn't let her go. He was drawn to her much like Sam was drawn to Emily and Jared was drawn to Kim.

But Jake didn't imprint. He had no claim on her. No matter how desperately he wanted to.

I hope he does. If anyone can teach a baby vampire to be good, it's the Cullen's. I don't think the baby will be a problem. I said after thinking it over.

No! she snarled, What can Bella teach it?! How to stab guys right through the heart?

Leah, you are being so over dramatic.

Whatever. You should go home. I bet mom is worried about you. She said.

I snorted, Why don't you go home. I bet she's worried about you.

I could feel Leah's mental eye roll, You're the baby. She's more worried about you. And besides, I can take care of myself.

So can I. I insisted.

Seth…there's- There's nothing left for me in La Push. You have friends, mom still thinks you have a chance at life and…giving her grandchildren. Me? I need to get out of there for a bit.

My heart broke for my sister at her sad tone.

Leah, mom and I are in La Push for you. You have other friends. Rachel just moved back, I know the two of you were always close.

Then maybe in a few years I'll come back. Once I'm done healing.

Leah and I ran in silence for a few minutes before my stomach growled. I'm going to go see if Esme made anything for Jake. Want to come? I asked hopefully. I knew Leah hated eating raw.

She scoffed, No way.

Suit yourself.

I ran to the edge of the woods before phasing and approaching the Cullen place. I caught the scent of blood as I neared it. Bella's blood.

I broke into a run and burst through the front door.

I was met with a strange sight; Rosalie was hissing in a corner while Emmett hugged her waist tightly. But what got me was Jacob, standing in a corner, holding a pile of pink blankets.

It must have been a girl.

Now, just because I didn't want the girl dead doesn't mean I'm comfortable with my alpha holding a half vampire baby. She could be venomous for Christ Sake!

My mind automatically responded to the threat to my alpha, I crouched down, ready to spring if anything happened.

Blondie and Emmett were to busy focusing on Jake to notice my stance. And it was a good thing I was ready, too. The devil spawn bit his finger when he went to brush a bronze curl out of her face.

I snarled and leapt towards them just as Jake turned around to face me, finally noticing I was there to help him kill the baby if he wanted.

"Seth! No!" his voice reverberated with the alpha timbre, I had never heard his alpha command before, it was stronger, I dropped to my knees a foot away from him and the devil baby.

"B-but, Jake! She….she bit you!" I snarled.

He surprised the hell out of me by smiling, "I know, she's so cute, right?"

My jaw dropped when he looked at her. It was the same look Sam gave to Emily and Jared gave to Kim and Paul gave to Rachel and Quil gave to Claire… It was the…imprint smile.

"Jake?" I asked cautiously as I got up.

He didn't take his eyes off her, "Hum?"

"Did you imprint on Edward and Bella's baby?"

A confused look crossed him face for a second before he answered, "Oh. Um. I guess I did. Isn't she perfect?" he was beaming like a new dad. And it was the kid the former love of his life had with his mortal enemy.

I looked at the kid. Wow. She was perfect. Wide, expressive, chocolate brown eyes peered up at me through a head of thick, bronze curls. She had pale skin like a vampire, but rosy cheeks to go along with it. "Wow."

Jake gave me a blinding smile. "Her real name is Renesmee. But she likes it when I call her Nessie."

"Hi there, Nessie." I said in my most gentle voice. "Wow, Jake."

"Yeah. I was kind of surprised, too." He still didn't take his eyes off her.

One pale, small hand shot out and rested on Jake's cheek. He smiled down at her after she removed it, "Yeah, Nessie. That's my friend, Seth." Huh? Her hand touched his cheek again. And, like last time, he responded after she put her hand down, "I don't know. Why don't you ask him?"

He finally took his eyes off Nessie and looked at me, "She has a question for you."

"A quest- What?" I couldn't understand what he was saying. She was just born, surly she cant talk yet.

Jake took a step closer to me and held her out a little bit. I was a bit weary of her. But I figured out she wasn't venomous at least. Jake wasn't dead.

Nessie's little hand darted out and rested on my cheek. I saw Jake holding her, but then my face appeared on his body and I felt…hope. "Whoa!" it was all I could say. She… wanted me to hold her? I looked at Jake in question, "Does she want me to hold her?"

He smiled and nodded, "Yeah. Good, you got it. Isn't she smart!? She can already communicate what she wants!"

Nessie peered at me again and struggled in Jake's arms. He noticed right away. "Just a second Nessie." He whispered to the baby, "Seth? Will you hold her?"

I swallowed the huge lump in my throat. "Um. Sure? I don't really know how. I mean, I held Claire once as a baby but-"

"She's strong, just don't drop her." He held he out and plopped her in my arms once I was ready. Her hand immediately darted out to my face.

I was assaulted with pictures of a bloody Bella (that picture was filled with worry), Jacob looking down lovingly with a stupid grin on his face (happiness), Rosalie cooing softly while feeding her (satisfaction), Edward smiling down at her for a second before she was passed to Rosalie (happiness and then disappointment) and finally, me looking down at her. This image was accompanied by uncertainty and hope. She wanted to know if I liked her.

I couldn't help but smile. Who couldn't love this pretty child. She mad Jake's pain go away, too. "Yeah." I whispered to her, "Yeah, I like you, too."
