fusedtwilight: Thanks so much to everyone for all the good reviews! And thanks to my beta animegirlkiki.

Leah P.O.V
“Are you asking me out on a date?” I asked Embry.
We were outside. Jake had taken us aside and told us not to go too far because Quil was coming and he wanted to talk to us all. But I needed some fresh air and Embry offered to accompany me on my little stroll.
“Well I think we have gone waaaay beyond a first date concept, but yeah I’m asking you out on a date.” He said with a smile.
“You know most guys wait till after said first date to seduce a girl.” I said trailing a finger down his chest.
“I believe you were the one who did the seducing, but I’m not complaining, best sex I ever had.” He said taking my hand in his and kissing the knuckles.
“That was the only sex you had.” I said.
“Yep, and it was the best.” He smiled.
We both laughed and I leaned my body on to his. He wrapped his body around mine and it was…nice. It was really nice. There was nothing sexual about it; it was just comfort and affection in a single little hug. I felt so safe, and secure. Something I haven’t felt in a long time.
“I want to stay like this forever.” I said.
“We can, you, me, and the baby.” He whispered.
I pulled back to look into his eyes. I searched for something, lies, deceit. Anything to prove he didn’t mean what he just said. But all I saw in those eyes was honesty, and happiness.
“This is all too good to be true, what are the chances I find a man who wants to be with me knowing I’m pregnant?” I asked.
“Must be my wolf gene that makes me so nice.” He said with a smile.
“Please, if that was true Paul wouldn’t be such a dick.” I snorted.
“So will you go out with me?” He asked with a grin.
“Well…sure, when and where?” I asked.
“How about tonight? Let’s go out to port and eat, maybe see a movie?” He said.
“That sounds great, did you really mean what you said, about us and the baby?” I asked.
“Yeah, of course. I like kids.”
“But she isn’t yours.” I said.
“So.” He shrugged his shoulders. “She is your child too, and as your boyfriend it is my responsibility to help you with anything in your life.”
“Are you for real?” I asked poking him in the chest.
Suddenly there was a sound from the woods. Embry tensed and stepped in front of me, but it was only Quil.
“Sorry for interrupting guys.” He said.
“No problem dude, what’s up?” Embry asked.
“Is Sam still here?” He asked.
“Yeah…why?” I asked.
“You guys won’t believe what I overheard today,” Quil said looking more serious then I have ever seen him in my life.
“Fuck.” I said.

Embry P.O.V
“And that is what I heard when I high tailed it.” Quil said.
We all sat in a stunned silence. We were all outside in the woods; Quil had wanted some privacy from the Cullens for this. When Quil said he had something to tell us he wasn’t kidding. My mind was racing with everything he had told us. The Makah’s, the wives, the wolves, the secret treaty, me and my potential fathers. Not to mention Leah was indeed going to have a wolf baby.
Sam had sat there and listened. He was surprised when Quil began the story, but he admitted what Quil was saying was true. By the time the story was finished no one knew what to say. Except for Leah.
“Son of a bitch!” Leah screamed. “Lousy, old bastard!”
“Easy Leah, he is my granddad.” Quil said.
“Oh fuck your granddad Quil! All this time I thought I was some fucking freak and that old fuck knew all along what I was.”
“Leah calm down,” Sam said gently.
“And you!” She said rounding on him. “When were you going to tell us huh? Or were you just going to wait till it suited you best?”
“I was trying to figure out what to do with what I learned Leah. I was as blindsided as you all were. But can you imagine what this information would do to our relationship with the Makah’s?” Sam said.
He had a point, La Push and the Makahs have been friends for countless generations. If what Old Quil said was true it could damage that relationship. I mean we might as well be one tribe; the two tribes have all kinds of families related to each other by blood or marriage.
“Fuck the Makahs, Makah can kiss my furry, pregnant ass. How many years have we helped each other out? How many of our people have married with there’s? And the keep such a secret from us? And the bastards threaten our own people to keep this secret?” Leah said angrily.
“This is exactly why I kept this a secret Leah.” He said. “Your reaction could be shared by the others, is it really worth picking a fight?” He asked.
“I’m not saying we go to war Sam, I say we call the elders and tell them we know the truth, I say we demand some kind of pay back. They can’t threaten us now. Before Quil and the others had to keep quiet because the Makah’s had more wolves, but look at how many we have now. They can’t intimidate us,” She said.
“If only it was that simple.” Sam said rubbing his head.
“We need to tell the elders.” I said. “They need to know so they can figure out what to do.”
“I agree,” Jake said. “This has been kept secret for long enough.”
“Yeah let’s tell the elders, I can’t wait to see the looks on their faces.” Leah said.
Quil how ever was silent. I don’t blame him. He must be having mixed feelings about the whole thing. After all, it was his grandfather who was probably going to get his ass nailed to the wall.
“I’ll tell my grandfather, let him know what to expect.” Quil said.
Then Leah did something that surprised us all. She went up to Quil and gave him a hug. “Thanks Quil. I know it must have been a difficult decision for you. What with your grandfather being involved and all.”
“Thanks Leah,” Quil said hugging her back. “I better get going, the sooner he knows the better.”
“Thanks man.” I said.
He walked into the woods and disappeared from our sight. Then Jake turned to face the three of us. “I will contact my father and tell him to get the others ready for a meeting. Sam I think you should come with me to explain this to him.”
Sam nodded and turned to me and Embry. “Don’t be to mad at old Quil Leah, he had his reasons.”
“I’ll send him a gift basket.” She said sarcastically.
Sam sighed and shook his head. He knew Leah was in one of her moods, and there was no talking her out of it. “I’ll come back later an-”
“No, don’t bother. I have plans with Embry.” She said interrupting him.
“What kind of planes?” He asked his eyes narrowing.
“Plans that don’t involve you.” She said.
He looked at me then, and I didn’t like it. There was a challenge in his eyes. He wasn’t happy about the two of us at all. But he didn’t have a choice in the matter. So I looked him straight in the eye and glared right back at him. We probably would have stayed like that had Jake not cleared his throat.
“Sam come on.”
With one last look at us he and Jake walked into the woods too, disappearing from our sight.
“Well that was interesting,” I said.
“Interesting doesn’t cover it.” She said.
“Hey don’t be like that,” I said. “Now you know you aren’t some mutation, you’re as natural as the rest of us.”
“She laughed. “Natural? Good one. So I’m not the only one, my baby is going to be a wolf, and oh yeah the Makahs seduced our forefathers over two hundred years ago and we have wolf cousins in Makah.”
“Makah isn’t so bad. And this could be a good thing,” I said.
“What makes you say that?” She asked confused.
“Leah think about it. If there are wolves in Makah, what if my father was a man from there that was descended from that line? What if my father is still there right now? What if I’m not Quil, Jake’s, or Sam’s brother.” I said happily.
I know Old Quil said those guys had gone to Makah around the time I would have been conceived. But when I think about it, why couldn’t it be possible my mother hooked up with some guy from Makah? What if my wolf gene came from there and not here?
The idea made me very happy. Maybe I wasn’t the illegitimate son of some affair after all. The idea made me very happy. Maybe my mom just hooked up with some random guy and didn’t want to tell him. After all this time thinking I was nothing but a mistake. A married man’s bastard child. Now I have a small ray of hope.
“Embry we need to talk,” Leah said quietly.
“About what?” I asked seeing the guilty look on her face.
“Remember when I yanked out your hair?” She asked.
“How can I forget?” I said rubbing my bold spot.
“Well there was a good reason I did that.”

Sam P.O.V
“Okay, tomorrow then. Okay by.” Billy put the phone down. “Everything is set, a meeting will be held tomorrow. Personally I would like to know now what you two have to say.”
We were at Jake and Billy’s house. We had informed Billy a meeting was needed, but it should be sometime tomorrow. Billy was annoyed we weren’t telling him now, but he was willing to wait when we told him we had to tell everyone else.
“I know dad, but just wait till tomorrow okay,” Jake said.
Billy must have sensed our tense moods because he sighed in defeat. “Alright I’ll wait till tomorrow. Lord knows the day when we can get some peace and quiet around here can’t come quick enough.” He took a sip of his beer. “So how is Leah doing?” HE asked.
“Good, she had a bit of a scare earlier today but she and the baby are fine.” I said.
“Good, I’ve been worried about that girl. Ever since she started to hold up in her house when she was keeping it a secret.” He said.
“She’s having a girl, Carlisle used a sonogram and found out she’s having a girl,” Jake said.
“Really? Sue will be thrilled, her and Harry always wanted a granddaughter to spoil,” He said sadly. “Congratulations Sam, I understand the circumstances are unfortunate. But you and Leah will make fine parents.”
“Thank you Billy.” I said shaking his hand.
“But I recommend you be careful. Leah will be more vulnerable than ever, and she is a very sensitive girl. Be careful with her.”
“I will Billy.”
“Well if you excuse us dad me and Sam need to talk,” Jake said.
“Alright son, go have your Alpha talk. But don’t be a stranger now,” Billy said.
We left the house and headed for the woods. “This whole thing is fucked up you know,” Jake said.
“Which part? The baby or the Makah’s?” I asked.
“Both. What are you going to do about it?” He asked.
“Wait till tomorrow when we tell the elders, then we can decide what to do. Listen Jake we need to talk. I want you to take over my pack.” I said.
“What? Why?” He asked surprised.
“Because this whole thing about there being two packs is stupid and pointless. Your already alpha of your group, nothing would change except you would truly be the alpha.”
“Why do I feel like there is more to this then what you’re telling me?” He said.
“I’m going to be a father Jake. It’s time for me to settle down and stop phasing. Emily and I are going to be married soon, and what with the baby coming, it’s best if I focus on my human life to support my family.”
Jake ran his hands through his hair. “I can’t do it Sam. I am imprinted on Nessie, and the Cullens can stay here for so long before people start getting suspicious. They have already stayed longer then they intended. And when they move….I think I’m going to go with them.”
“What? Why?” I asked. Jacob was the son of Ephraim Black. He should have been the Alpha in the beginning.
“Nessie is my imprint Sam, I have to go with her wherever she goes.” Jake said.
I can’t fault him for that. I knew what it was like to have an imprint. But still, to deny his heritage and birthright.
“Jake please, no one else can lead the pack. It has to be you, it is your birthright,” I begged him.
“If I become Alpha now it will cause too many problems when the time comes for me to leave.”
“Does your father and sister know? Rachel finally comes back and now you’re leaving? How will that make him feel Jake?” I demanded angrily.
“I still have time before I have to tell him. Enough time to say my good bys and everything, I have to do this Sam, Nessie is everything to me, and I can’t bear to be without her.”
Great. So much for having Jake take my place as Alpha.
“I’m more worried about Leah and Embry,” Jake said.
“Me too, I don’t like the idea of them together.” I said.
“I just think there is too much going on in both their lives right now, what with the baby and now this Makah thing. But I think if they want to be together we should support them, as their friends and family,” Jake said.
“I just don’t want history to repeat itself is all.” I said.
“I know, I know. Look I’ll think about your offer. No promises though.”
“Thanks Jake, I appreciate it,” I said.
“So are you going to tell your mom?” He asked.
“Yeah that’s a problem I’ve been wanting to talk to Leah about. People are going to want to know about the baby’s paternity. If we tell the truth the norms will think me and her had an affair and that will cause some bad reps for us here. And I don’t want my daughter growing up hearing she is an illegitimate child. I guess there is no easy answers here,” I said stretching my arms.
“As if our lives are ever easy.” Jake said.

Leah P.O.V
I knew I was in trouble when he began to cuss.
“What the fuck Leah!” He shouted.
I was trying to keep up with him as he walked away from me angrily. I had told him about the test and the ripping of the hair thing. Boy was he pissed.
“Embry please stop.” I said trying to keep up.
He stopped and whirled around to face me. His face stiff with anger. “How could you keep this from me? How could you do this behind my back. You had no right!”
I felt guilt beginning to twist its way around my stomach. “I know and I’m sorry, I just wanted to help you.”
“By ripping my hair out of my damn head!” He shouted showing me the spot where I snatched him bald.
“I wanted to help you learn who your father was. I wanted to repay you for everything you have done for me. I thought you had a right to know who your dad was.”
“That’s the problem Leah you thought. Did you ever think that maybe I didn’t want to know? Did you ever stop to consider all the people who could be hurt by this?” He demanded.
“Of course I knew how I could not. You think I don’t know there is a risk people could be hurt? Believe me Embry I have thought this through. But I decided I didn’t care, because I know how much it means to you to know the truth.” I felt tears beginning to form but I blinked them away. “I know how much you want to know Embry, but I knew you cared too much about the others to risk it turning out it was one of their fathers. And I knew they were all to chicken shit to find out.”
“Of course, this could ruin lives Leah.” He said rubbing his temples.
“I know, but it’s not fair for you Embry. How many years have people called you a bastard, how many times did the kids in school mock you for not knowing who your father is. I just wanted to help you find out who that is. Even knowing people would be hurt.”
“But why? Why would you do that to your friends?” He asked confused.
“I just wanted to make you happy, I just wanted to stop seeing people ignore it, or change the subject. It’s not fair that you should suffer just so others can feel better. What if you die Embry? What if one day those crazy vamps from Italy or some random leech goes and off’s you. You would never know where you came from, or who your father was.”
I wiped the tears from my face. I felt horrible, I felt like a real bitch (No pun intended) I tried to help a friend and instead I was hurting him. I was so wrapped up in wanting to make him happy I hadn’t stopped to think what he thought or how he felt.
He walked up to me and gently wrapped his arms around me. I put my hands on his back and buried my face into the crook of his neck. I cried gently as he held me, he smelled like wolf, like earth, like woods.
“Silly girl, I was happy. I am happy. I’m happy as long as you’re happy, and even though I don’t know who my father is I grew up respecting plenty of men who raised me like I was their own. Thank you Leah,” He said.
I pulled back so I could look at him. “What for?” I asked.
He stroked a thumb across my cheek. Taking a tear on his thumb and licking it off. There was something strangely intimate about that. “For caring so much about me you were willing to do such a thing,” He smiled.
“So you’re not mad at me?” I asked hopefully.
“I wouldn’t go that far.”
“Oh,” I said lowering my gaze.
“But, you can make it up to me.”
“How?” I asked.
“You go home and get ready because you and I are going out. I decide where, and I pay, and for the rest of the night you do what I say, because tonight you’re my woman.” He smiled.
“What did I ever do to deserve you,” I said and kissed him.
“I believe you were born.”
He took my hand and we headed back to the Cullen’s mansion. I was so busy being happy I got off easy I didn’t feel Embry let go of my hand and slap me on the ass….hard.
“What the fuck!” I glared at him rubbing my behind.
“You’re my woman remember.” He grinned.
