Imprinted

Chapter Four

Leah lay sound asleep beside Rosalie, her arms wrapped around the vampire.

Rosalie was wide awake, reading a book. One of her hands was running up and down Leah's back. Vampires didn't need sleep but she was relaxed and lying beside Leah. It made her wish she could sleep.

The wolf shifts slightly, moving until her head was on Rosalie's chest.

Rosalie kissed Leah's head, continuing to run her hand up and down the wolf's back. She sighed softly.

"What's wrong?" Leah mumbles softly, her eyes still closed.

"Nothing." Rosalie said.

Humming softly, Leah pulls the blonde closer. "Something is bothering you, I can feel it in our bond."

"It's stupid." Rosalie said.

Shaking her head, Leah kisses Rosalie's shoulder. "Nothing you say can possibly be stupid."

Rosalie looked away, feeling embarrassed. "I see you sleeping and.. I... I just wish I could sleep too."

Sitting up some, Leah cups her cheek. "Hey, that's not stupid. The more our bond grows the higher the chance you will feel what it's like to sleep again."

"What do you mean?" Rosalie asked.

"Well, soon we'll be able to feel everything the other is feeling." Leah responds with a shrug.

"That sounds uncomfortable... so if you're hurt I'll feel it?" The blonde vampire asked.

Leah shrugs once more. "I really don't know much about the bond."

Rosalie rolled onto her side and rested her head on Leah's shoulder.

Holding her close, the wolf smiles. "I love you."

"I love you too." Rosalie whispered.

Leah couldn't hide her smile as she held the blonde.

Rosalie nuzzled Leah's neck.

Humming softly, Leah runs her hand along Rosalie's back. "I've been thinking about some things."

"Things?" Rosalie asked.

"Things you told Bella, about how much you wish you weren't a vampire because you can't have a family like you've always wanted." Leah paused for a moment. "What if, one day I can give you that?"

Rosalie just stared at Leah, confused.

The brunette tries to think of another way to explain it. "What if, with Emmett's help. I try to get pregnant, for the both of us?"

Rosalie just blinked, her brain processing the information.

Leah watches her silently, waiting for her response.

"You and Emmett?" Rosalie breathed.

The wolf tilts her head to the side. "It doesn't have to be Emmett. But I figured you trusted him the most."

"You'd really do this for me?" Rosalie asked.

Leah smiles and leans in to kiss Rosalie gently. "I'd do anything for you." she says, after ending the kiss.

Rosalie met Leah's eyes.

Tilting her head to the side, Leah smiles. "What do you think?" She asks softly.

"I don't know." Rosalie said. "Kids are something I've always wanted."

"And I want to give that to you." Leah responds instantly.

Rosalie pulled Leah into a hug.

Curling into her, Leah buries her face in Rosalie's neck.

Rosalie nuzzled Leah's neck.
