Chapter 4
PLEASE, PLEASE, PLEASE-REVIEW AND LEAVE ME COMMENTS. Let me know my writing is making some people happy :) PS-SORRY IT TOOK SO LONG TO UPLOAD, ENJOY :)
I'll I could do was look at my aunt and I thought, wow a week made her look months pregnant.
She saw me looking at her stomach and started laughing.
"Silly, I'm not pregnant yet. Alice bought me this belly thing that I can make big and small so I'm trying it out."
"Hmm, okay. Well Grandpa what's the news on the vamps getting babies?"
I walked to the couch were Grandpa was sitting with Grandma on the couch. They looked so cute sometimes. Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper were on the other couch and Mom and Dad were standing by the piano. Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett were beside me waiting for Grandpa to tell me the news.
"It seems that while looking for some research about you we found some old documents that the Volturi wanted to be hidden. In them, it is written in old Latin the process in which one must have to have vampire children. It seemed like it would be complicated, read it yourself."
Sanguis et si liberos habeat venatores cautissimi
I. Uterque ab humano cruore temptaverat.
II. Et vixerunt cum illo qui fecit, quam L annorum et amplius.
III. Unum est pars duorum cognovimus ante conversionem alterius.
Quondam haec conpleta sunt opera, pars erit ingenio, filiosque procreare.
Postquam puer natus est tertia pars in aliam partem quae est invenire, filiosque procreare.
Si pro nonnullus causa creans non potest inveniri, sed conceptio est possibile solum forti sors durior et superstitem.
Translation, literally:
Blood takers may have children when and if
1. Both have had tried blood from that of a human.
2. Both have lived with the one who made them for more and no less than 50 years.
3. One party of the couple must have known the other party before the transformation.
Once these tasks are completed, the party will have the abilities to have children.
After the child that is born the third, one party must find another party in which to have children.
If for some reason the creator cannot be found, the conception is still possible but a lot harder and only the strong survive.
I read the decree over and over very fast. I couldn't believe it. Hmmmm. I didn't know what to think about it. I just seemed weird that some so powerful like the Volturi would want something like this kept secret.
"So what do you think granddaughter?" Grandma Esme asked me, "You could be a cousin very soon if this actually happens."
I looked at my grandpa and asked him, "So why did they keep this a secret? Wouldn't this be something they would want to do? Procreate amazing vampires as children?"
"Not really dear, you see the Volturi are more controlling. And they lack the 2nd clause; none of them know who created them. They were made and left and it would be nearly impossible for them to still be alive."
"Well, sounds legit," I said, "So Auntie Rosie, are you excited?"
"In a way yes, but in others I haven't done the most important thing, drink human blood. And it's not very clear if I have to keep drinking it for me to have all 3 children or if I just need to do it once." She looked worried, but Uncle Em was there for her.
"Babe, I'll do anything for you and we will have the children you have always wanted." She smiled and they walked to their room.
"So…"I looked at my parents, "Guess I can't be a sister for another 44 years huh?" I laughed. Mom just smiled and Dad spoke, "We'll see, maybe. I don't think your mother will want to have another one." He came up to me and hugged me, "We have the most perfect daughter now." He kissed my head and took my mom with him to the cottage. Grandpa and Grandma left next; Grandpa to the hospital, Grandma to the kitchen to make me food.
I looked over at Aunt Alice who was obviously avoiding my face. Uncle Jazz was trying to get her to stop looking so depressed.
I walked over to them and asked, "What's wrong Auntie Alice?"
She stared at me and I could tell she was sad. She had almost no make-up and was wearing sweat pants.
"Ness, I'm sorry, I'm being a Debby downer. Let me go change and I'll be back."
She got up and left. I looked at Uncle Jazz and asked him what was wrong with her.
"We can't have kids and somehow it bothers her now. Everyone she knows, all of us, her family, can have kids, but not us. I lived with my creator for some time, but she never had the chance. I didn't know her before her transformation and even thought we have both tried human blood, it will never change the fact we didn't know each other, nor Alice knowing her creator. It breaks her heart."
I realized EVERYONE could have kids, even Grandma and Grandpa. Ha, I'm imagining it now, having an uncle or aunt that is younger than me. But it seemed sad that I could never have a cousin from ALL my aunts. Maybe they could make one or adopt one. I didn't know how to respond to Uncle Jazz. He ended up leaving to see where Aunt Alice went and I made my way to the kitchen.
Grandma was making one of my favorite dishes. Fried Chicken with mashed potatoes and greens. She was one the best cooks next to Uncle Em. You would think he could cook, but when he was human he was the cook of his family, when he got changed he still remembered everything and even taught Grandma some pointers. She always made dinner super-fast.
She gave me my plate and poured me a glass of milk, this Grandma was amazing.
"Thanks Grandma!" I hugged her and we sat. Normally she would try what she made, but this time she just sat there.
We talked about my adventures with Jacob and how I really wanted to move back. We talked about Esme getting a big house contract for a wealthy couple. Then I asked her the most serious question I think I had ever asked her, "Grandma, since you know about the baby clause, are you and Grandpa going to have one?"
She paused for a moment and started to talk, "Well your grandfather and I have talked about. We think it might be alright to have someone of our own. We will probably try just to see what happens, but you have to remember, Carlisle never lived with his creator, but I have. I have the same problem as Rosalie and so does your Grandfather. We have never tried human blood. For your grandfather, I don't know if he could risk it just for me to have a child. For me I have 6 already and a beautiful granddaughter and from the looks of it, more grand babies."
Esme smiled and took my empty plate. I watched as she washed it and it seemed that she was trying to keep herself busy. Maybe she didn't want any kids. I could see just her and Carlisle for the rest of their lives happy the way life was now.
She left the kitchen and went to get ready for her job interview this afternoon.
I decided to call Jacob and tell him the news that happened over here. He seemed as surprised and sounded scared when I said that Rosalie would be like a newborn AND pregnant. He told me he would come up and see me in case she turned out to be crazier then she already was.
I went home to the cottage and saw a note from my parents that they had gone hunting and would be back later. I unpacked my suitcase and put all my dirty clothes in the washer. I was the only family member that actually washed their clothes and used it more than once. Alice would be mortified if she had to think about doing that.
At about 10 at night I went back to the main house and started looking for the rest of my family. I couldn't find Aunt Alice or Uncle Jasper, but I ended up finding Aunt Rosalie in the computer room. She was looking up baby cribs and everything pink to go for a girl.
"Hey Aunt Rose! Hey why are you only looking at pink, what if it ends up being a boy? Remember my mom thought I was a boy..."
Aunt Rosie looked at me and smiled. "I know, but it would just seem perfect if I had a girl first; my own little girl to dress up and have fun with."
She looked at me and immediately took it back, "OMG Nessie, It doesn't mean that I didn't have fun with you! I love you, you know that. I just meant a little girl of my own!" She got up to hug me and then went downstairs. I followed her but she was nowhere found. I decided to call Jacob, but it went straight to voicemail which meant he was probably on patrol. I finally went back to my room in the big house. My grandparents had made me a room when I was a little girl so when I slept over, I had a place. I rested my head and fell asleep.
When I woke up the next morning I started crying. I had the most beautiful dream ever. I dreamt that Jacob proposed to me and that I had said yes. I then planned the whole wedding with my aunt and it was exactly how I wanted it. Jacob was in a suit and I in a beautiful white satin dress. We said "I do" and walked back to the beach to swim to our special cave.
I got up and took a shower. I didn't know who was home or anything. It read 6 on the clock in the hallway. I actually slept awhile.
I looked down the stairs and saw no one. I went outside and saw everyone at the picnic table.
"Morning darling!" my dad said while kissing my forehead. My mom gave me a hug and the other family members as well.
"Where was everyone yesterday?" I asked.
"Sorry honey, we went hunting and completely lost track of time. By the time we came back, you were already asleep."
I looked at Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett. They looked madly in love. I looked over at Aunt Alice. She still looked upset.
Then I heard someone running towards me. I turned around and see Jacob in wolf form.
"JACOB!" I scream and run up to hug him. He gives me a little lick and I turn around and my family waves to him.
I look up at him and show him my dream. I then show him my decision to tell my family of us being together.
My dad just stares at us as my other members looks anxious.
I turn around and begin to say something, "Guys. It's official, where "together" like a couple!"
Everyone cheered, that it is except Alice. Oh boy..
