she feared Yaakov would have cancelled  the whole thing. Anyone else?<<

Yakov would have said, "Fine, we'll wait until Leah gets married.  She  can 
marry her zivug, my brother Esav."  The thought of which was the very  thing 
that so distressed Leah.  Rochel had compassion on Leah and wanted to  help her 
avoid that "fate worse than death."
