Chapter 4: Wide Awake

I woke up feeling refreshed. I've never woke up and felt this good. "I wonder why..." I thought before it all came rushing back. I remembered the bonfire. I remember passing out and Taha Aki speaking through me; everything he said. Everything about the pack, the Volturi, and me. After that everything went black for awhile until I started dreaming.

I was in a clearing in the forest that was surrounded by trees. I was laying down in the grass watching the clouds slowly move, enjoying the gentle breeze that was blowing causing the grass to rustle softly. I was lost in my feeling of peace when all of a sudden two small tan faces came into view their long hair tickling my face. They started giggling when their hair made me both grabbed one of my arms and started pulling trying to make me sit up. I don't know how but I could tell them apart. Taha was on my right side and Yaha was on left.

"Come play with us mama." Yaha begged.

"Mama, can we ride the wolves again?" Taha asked grunting as they kept pulling on my arms. They weren't making any progress considering they were only 4.

I sat up taking pity on them and finally got a good look at them. They were so adorable with their dark brown almost black eyes and long beautiful shiney black hair that reached the small of their backs. They were the same height and looked alot alike but you could easily tell them I looked closely I could see a lot of the guys in their faces like their eyes,nose, mouth even their perfect white baby teeth.

I felt a warmth spread throughout my body. These were my boys. My sons.

I must have took too long to answer because they both put one of their chubby hands on my cheeks to get my attention.

"Mama? Can we?" Taha asked again but this time in english. That shocked me. I hadn't realized they were speaking quilete till he switched to english. We obviously must have taught them both languages because they knew I could understand both. I was happy about that because I don't want them to lose their native language. I pulled them into me for a hug. I pressed my face into both of their necks breathing in their scent. They still had that sweet and fresh baby scent.

"Of course you can." I said letting them go. "Remember how I taught you to call them ?" I asked looking at their faces as their eyes lite up.

"Can I do it?" Yaha asked bouncing up and down in place.

"No I want to do it." Taha protested.

"You can both do it together." I reasoned. They looked at each other and nodded in agreement.

"Okay on the count of three." I said standing up brushing off my pants. They cupped their hands around around their mouths and waited for me to get to three.

"One...two...three" As soon as I said three they both let out a shrill bird cry that echoed through the came up to me and hugged my legs as we looked into the trees. Waiting.

"Listen." I said quietly. Then we heard leaves rustling and twigs snapping.

A few seconds later three huge wolves came through the trees. The biggest black one was Sam,the slightly smaller russet brown one was Jacob, and the smallest grey one was Leah. They stopped about 6 feet away from us. They laid down on their stomachs and rested their heads down on their paws. I looked down at the boys to see their reaction. I laughed at their facial expressions. Their eyes were huge with amazement and awe. They looked up at me silently asking for permission. When I nodded my head yes they ran over to the wolves their long hair flying behind them. They went up to each wolf and petted it's head giggling when the wolves licked their faces in response. When they got to Jacob they hugged his neck while they petted his muzzle. It was like they knew it was Jacob even though we hadn't told them the pack turned into wolves yet. Once they let go of his neck they ran over to the other wolves like they knew I would ride Jacob. I watched Taha climb onto Sam and Yaha climb onto Leah. Since the wolves were so big they had to turn their heads and nudge them with their noses to help them get onto their backs.

While they were getting situated I said "Hold on tight okay." I knew Leah and Sam would never let anything happen to them but I still got worried.

"Okay mama." they said in unison cheerfully.

As Leah and Sam rose to their feet the boys cheered.

"Look at me mama!"

"I'm tall."

"I know I see you ." I replied grinning.

"Let's go wolfie." Taha yelled.

"Yeah." Yaha and Leah shook their heards side to side slighty with the wolf version of a grin on their faces and trotted towards the trees.

"Bye mama."

"See you at home." and they disappeared through the trees.

I turned to Jacob and see he had been watching me. I walked up to him and rubbed his nose which made him give a deep purr. I ran my hand along his jaw till I reached his neck. When I wrapped my arms around his neck he turned his head and leaned it gently against my shoulder. I turned my head towards his ear and whispered "I missed you." even though he had only been patroling for 5 hours. He whined which let me know he felt the same. We hugged for a long moment before I pulled away and kissed his nose.

"Let's get back to the boys before they start trouble." I said getting on his back. Jacob gave a wolf laugh and stood up then we were running throughh the woods.

That dream faded into another.

It was a bright sunny day and I was standing on our back porch shading my eyes looking into the forest at the back of our yard. I was trying to see into the trees waiting for them. I saw movement in the trees then a moment later they came out. When they spotted me they started running towards me playfully pushing each other trying to get to me first. Yaha was winning until Taha tripped him making him do a face plant in the grass. He laughed when Yaha growled at him and kept running; then he jumped up the five porch steps. He bent his knees so he could wrap his arms round my waist gently and lifted me off my feet. They never let me forget how short I was. He spun me around in a circle making me laugh. "Did you miss me?" he asked smiling as he put me back on my feet.

Once he put me down I smacked him upside the head and planted my hands on my hips. " Wi, why did you do that to your brother?" I asked using his nickname; we called Yaha by his nickname 'Uta'. We never used their full names. I pretended like I was angry when I wasn't. I was used to them being rough with each other, it must be a wolf thing.

"Don't worry mom, you know he'll heal." He replied with a smirk as he watched Uta make his way to the porch. He was glaring at Wi as he made his way up the steps. Wi hurriedly kissed my cheek before running into the house barely dodging Uta's hands that were grabbing at him. Uta growled letting Wi escape into the house. He turned to me after a moment and I laughed at the blades of grass that were stuck in his long dark hair. I started plucking the grass out while Uta had a frown on his face. "Don't kill your brother okay." I said having finished plucking out the grass.

"Why not? I should." he pouted. That made me laugh again.

"Because it would make me sad." I joked.

"Okay" he relented and hugged me. He had to haunch down too. It never stopped amazing me how fast they had grown up. They were grown men now; they weren't little boys anymore. I smoothed his hair down then put my fingers in it which I knew made him relax. He loved when I did it; it was comforting to him. As soon as I started raking my nails gently across his scalp I heard a soft deep rumbling coming from within his chest. After a few moments of doing this I started to pull away; he reluctantly let me go.

"It's lunchtime." I said as an explanation. As soon as he heard that he ran inside. I just shook my head. What was with those wolves and food?

Jacob should be here any minute; So I leaned my back against our porch rail and closed my eyes as the sun warmed my face. After a few minutes later I felt fingers lightly carassing my face. I smiled leaning my face into his touch. I knew it was Jacob without opening my eyes. When he stepped closer to me I opened my eyes tilting my head back so I could see his face. His eyes were soft and full of love. He put his palm to my cheek and leaning in whispered "I love you.". He lips were almost touching mine before I woke up.

I rested my hands on my still flat stomach and gently rubbed it. When I did that I felt a warmth start from my hands and spread all the way up my arms and settle in my chest. It was the most amazing feeling I had ever felt. It felt like getting a hug from love itself. It made me feel like I got a thousand hugs and kisses from Jacob all at the same time. I get a little dizzy and breathless when Jacob kisses me once; so to feel like he was giving me a ton of hugs and kisses at the same time made my body swoon and I almost fell off the bed. But with those feeling was also this feeling of being completely safe, sheltered, and loved. I snatched my hands away from my stomach in confusion and the warmth slowly went away. What the heck was that? I put my hands back on my stomach and I felt the warmth spread all over again. I took my hands off again. I have no idea why that happened. It's probably just me.

But I can't believe I'm carrying them. I'll be doing something that's never been done before. This generations pack will be able to bond with past pack members which is unheard of. Then to top it off the Volturi wants all of us to be little pets for them. But we have to beat them because if we don't I'm terrified of what the future will be for the future generations of the tribe. I'm glad I can do this for the pack and the tribe. I have a chance to protect and help them like they've done for if people still feel like I don't deserve Jacob this will definitely convince them of my loyalty and future in the I've grown to love all of the pack as my brothers , and Emily, Kim,Claire and Leah as my sisters. Over the years we've grown closer to each other which is why I'm worried how this will affect my relationship with them. I'm afraid that this will make them uncomfortable around me. This situation can either bring us closer together as a pack or make things tense and awkward. I really hope this creates an unbreakable bond between us because we'll need each other for the hard times that are coming and I need them to get through this.

Then there's Jacob. How does he feel about me being pregnant? Will this drastically change things between us? I wonder if he's upset that I'm not pregnant with a baby that he and I made together. Of everything going on his reaction and feelings are the one thing I'm concerned about the most. I looked at Jacob who was still sleeping and sighed. I could sit here all day thinking about how the pack was going to react or the elders or Jacob but I would drive myself crazy.

I looked at the clock on the bedside table; it read 6:37 am. Jacob wouldn't be up for another hour. I decided to go cook breakfast because cooking always relaxed me. Plus I promised Embry to make him a huge breakfast and I doubted any excuse I made for why he didn't have his breakfast would fly with him. And I'm going to take a wild guess and say that the pack, elders included wanted to come over to see me and have a nice long chat. Yay I get to be the center of attention again. say we had a lot to talk about would be an understatement.

I got out of bed and headed to the bathroom. After showering and brushing my teeth I headed to the kitchen and took out everything I need. I rolled up my sleeves and got to work. I was using every eye on the stove and the oven. It was hot but I didn't mind I was used to it. I didn't think about anything as I cooked, I focused all my energy and thoughts on what I was doing. By the time I was done cooking I had cooked three large dozens of eggs, four long tubes of sausage, six packs of bacon, two loaves of toast, about thirty pieces of frybread, forty-five pancakes and three big pans of hashbrowns just for good measure. If all that didn't fill them up nothing would. I made Jacob four huge plates of food and put it in the oven for when he woke up. I knew from experience that the thought of saving food never crossed the pack's mind when they were eating which was pretty much inhaling their food. I put all the food on the table which I'm surprised didn't collapse from the weight; and added the plates and utensils. As I was heading into the kitchen to get drinks I heard a knock on the door.
