Chapter 1: 45 Years Later.
45 years. It has been exactly 45 years since my life has changed, both for better and for worse. It's funny how just one event changes everything.
[Flashback]
"Bella, I don't want you to come with me."
"You... don't... want me?"
"No."
[End Flashback]
My life has never been normal after that. I haven't been normal after that. I went into a deep depression. But I saw the worry I put my family and friends through and I tried to pick myself up, I really did. I thought I would be in a depression for months, but then I got some shocking news. Something I didn't think was possible.
It terrified me at first. I didn't know what to think, I didn't know what to do. I don't how but I somehow managed to pick myself off and kept myself prepared.
In a place called Port Angeles, there is a mansion in the middle of a forest. Inside a young woman was preparing breakfast to start off the day.
Looking back, I knew I made the right decision. Because what happened after that not only healed me, but also gave me a reason to live for. Well, six reasons to live for.
"Good morning mom!" A beautiful seventeen year old girl said walking towards the kitchen. She was followed by four more equally attractive teens her age, two boys and two girls.
The woman, who goes by the name Isabella "Bella" Marie Swan, finished putting the last of the pancakes on the table and smiled at the kids in front of her as they took their seats for breakfast.
My children, mine and Edwards' children. After the Cullens left, I found out I was pregnant. I knew that they were Edwards' children; there was no doubt about it. And they were the ones who helped me get by all these years. A month after I found out I was pregnant, I gave birth to six amazing, gifted, half-human, half-vampires.
"Pass the syrup over, will ya?" One of the boys with auburn hair and green eyes said.
Anthony Jonathan Swan, the youngest of my children and the smartest. If he's not doing his homework or doing research on anything, he would be tinkering around with any kind of technology he can get his hands on. He has a special ability to control the elements.
"Here you go." The girl with straight, black, waist length hair and green eyes said, passing the syrup to her brother.
Allison Rosemary Swan, second youngest of my children. She has a bubbly and energetic personality. She has a love of acting and each time we start at a new school, she would go as a high school cliché. This time, she's taking a break and being herself. She is a sound illusionist.
One of the girls with curly, brown, mid-waist length hair and chocolate coloured eyes was too busy reading a book she brought with her, to eat.
Bella noticed that and cleared her throat. "What did I say about bringing books to the table, young lady?"
"Not to do it." The girl replied, closing her book.
Renesmee Carlie Swan, third youngest of my children. She has inherited my love for reading and because of that we have a library just for her. She has even published a few books herself under the name 'Vanessa Wolfe'. She has the ability to make people see what she wants them to see.
The book suddenly flew out of Renesmee and onto a shelf in the living room.
"You're welcome." The boy with dark brown hair and eyes said, putting down his hand and continuing to eat.
Mason Jemmett Swan, third oldest of my children. A fun-loving, carefree jokester who just likes to let loose and have fun. He and Allison often join forces to prank their siblings, sometimes it's funny, other times its disastrous. He is telekinetic.
"I love your pancakes mom, they're the best." The blonde haired girl with blue eyes said before she put another fork full of pancakes in her mouth.
Lillian Elizabeth Swan, second oldest of my children. Even though she can be bossy and diva-like at times, she does care for her family deeply and she'll do anything to protect them. She has a love for dancing, shopping and dressing up. She has the ability to manipulate the mind, both of humans and vampires.
Bella then heard a noise in the distance. Using her speed, she went to the kitchen window and opened it. In flew an eagle, which suddenly morphed into a teenage boy with copper hair and green eyes.
"Morning." The boy said as he took his seat.
And the oldest of the hybrids, Edward Jacob Swan, but he only wants to be called EJ. He is very protective of his family, even me although I'm full vampire, while he is only half vampire. He has also taken up the role as the man of the house. He has the ability to shape-shift into any animal.
My six perfect children, along with their special gifts they have a mental link between each and they all have inherited my special power, a mental shield.
Sure raising them did have its ups and downs, but no matter what I will always love all of them and I will never ever regret having them. They know what happened between me and their father, I didn't want to keep any secrets from them and they all comforted me and supported me the best that they could. I couldn't ask for a better family than them. And it's not just them in my family.
The back-door opened and in walked a beautiful teenager with light-brown hair, pale skin and golden eyes. She zoomed upstairs and came back, having changed out of her previous blood-stained clothes. She joined the others in the kitchen.
Amelia Annemarie Cahill Swan. A vampire stuck at sixteen years old who I met back in Forks. When I found out I was pregnant, I lied to my dad and my friends telling them I wanted to get away and do some travelling for awhile. So while everyone thought I was on a road-trip, I actually went to a forgotten cabin my family had outside of Forks. That was where I first met Mia, who was already a vampire. The vampire who turned her told her exactly what she would become. She was so terrified, that she kept herself isolated and starved ever since. She used any strength she had left to try to stay away from me until I told her about the animal blood diet. As soon as she heard that she ran away. A few hours later, she came back looking much better than she did before. After exchanging stories, she stayed with me and helped me every way she could. She was the one who turned me after I gave birth to my children. She has the ability to absorb and use other vampires' gifts, including the hybrids mental link.
"Morning guys!" She greeted, coming into the kitchen. Mason stood up and went to her, giving her a kiss which she returned.
The moment she saw Mason, she knew there was something special in him that made him stand out from the rest of my children, but she only acted like a friend for him when he was growing up. When the hybrids were fifteen, Mia realised that Mason is her mate. And for Mason when he was a kid, he would always consider Mia his best friend. When he reached his teen years, he started falling in love with her. So when he and his siblings were frozen at the age of seventeen, he and Mia started dating and years later they got married. And they're not the only ones.
My pregnancy had complications, not just for my body. My best friend Jacob Black, who I later discovered could turn into a wolf, picked up Mia's scent while on patrol. He followed it to the cabin where he found both of us. I had to tell him the truth. To say he was shock was the understatement of the year. He went back to his pack in La Push and because of his telepathic link, the other wolves soon learned of my condition. Their leader, Sam Uley, determined that my babies were too much of a threat to their locals and should be killed. But Jake stood up for me and broke away from the pack taking Seth and Leah Clearwater and Embry Call with him to protect me. Both sides were at a standstill, until my kids were born. Jacob, Leah, Seth and Embry each imprinted on one of my kids, Jacob with Nessie, Seth with Allie, Leah with EJ and Embry with Lilly. When the other wolves found out about this, they were forced to surrender as it was against law for them to hurt imprints.
When I found out about the imprints... well let's just say it probably could have gone better. But they explained imprinting and promised me that they would be respectful to their imprints and not force them into anything. When my kids were old enough, the time came to tell the four imprintees about imprinting and they accepted it, having already fallen in love with their imprinters. Years later, we had four different, perfect weddings.
"Finish up guys. You don't want to be late for school." Bella said.
"Yeah? And what if we want to be late?" Mason said, laying back in his chair.
"Try that and see what happens." Bella challenged, giving him a look. Knowing she was serious, Mason immediately went back to eating and was the first one finished. He quickly put his plate in the sink while his siblings snickered at him.
Soon the rest of the kids finished their breakfast, grabbed their bags (Nessie went to get her book from where Mason put it), said goodbye to their mom and went out. Lilly, Nessie and Allie went in a midnight purple Lexus driven by Lilly, AJ and EJ went in a dark blue Acura driven by EJ and MJ and Mia went on a motorcycle driven by MJ. They all went on their usual race to school
Bella smiled as she watched her children race away to school. Life is good for her and her family. They moved to a new town three years ago with Mia, the hybrids and the wolves in High school and Bella in college. They were all seniors in high school, while Bella is a senior in her college. Right now, the wolves are in La Push, training the new generations of wolves in their clan but they made sure to keep regular contact with the rest of the coven, especially EJ, Nessie, Lilly and Allie. They've all worked in well-paying jobs in the past and with some good investments and the money Nessie got from publishing her books, they were well-off so money was never an issue for them.
Bella sighed. Even though she was happy and content with her life, she knew she was missing something important in her life. She shook her and then got ready to go to her college.
