I told Edward about my dream that there was a war on the horizon. I was really not sure how I felt about what was coming. If the war was about the alliance between the Cullen's and my clan why would we have to choose sides? Unless it had to do with something larger. I would take it as it came I did not need the stress now. "Edward, I want liver and ice cream." my mate looked at me for a moment he had been following my train of thought I could tell. My statement seemed to come from nowhere.
" What flavor?" he asked raising an eyebrow at me. He looks so cute when he does that.
"Liver only has one flavor, Ning-bat. I chuckled softly as I watched his expression go puzzled for a few moments.
" I meant the Ice cream, Puppy, what flavor of ice cream do you want?" My mate asked laughing as he finally got the joke. I informed him that I wanted green tea Ice cream and asked if I could have goats milk to drink. "wow, Puppy, you don't ask much do you,?" I smiled at my mate and placed my hand on my stomach. Our little cubs need to eat.
I stood up after Edward left to go after my latest craving I went down the hall to Carlisle's office I wanted to talk to my father in law about what I should be expecting from this second pregnancy. I was no stranger to Braxton hicks contractions. But the cramps I was getting were a little more painful. I had not wanted to alarm my mate if I did not have to. It had been two months since the girls had their party. He knew we were expecting twin boys. I knew as much as Edward lover our Girls He really wanted a boy. Carlisle had me lay down on the examination table. After only a few seconds he told me that I was confined to bed. I looked at him for answers. "It seems since having the twins you have not fully healed, Jake, the place where your little ones is starting to tear loose. You are on bed and pelvic rest for the rest of this pregnancy. Though you may not be able to carry your twins to term. What we are trying to do now is let them get stronger. I can give you a shot that will help their lungs develop" I was stunned my little cubs could die before they even got the chance to live.

I finally got Jake's dinner for him and was headed back t the manor Carlisle stopped me a ways out. I scanned his mind to see what was going on. His mind held the things that were going on with my Puppy and the cubs, I froze Carlisle told me what he had not told Jake. The prognosis was not good for any of my three boys. I resolved to spend as much time with my mate as I could flashes of what happened to Bella swam through my mind. Could I survive loosing another mate? Even if it was for my children I just did not know. It hurt to think that my mate may leave me. Carlisle seemed to understand. He had been through this with me before. I ran as fast As I could to get to my mate.
Jake was laying on the bed in Carlisle's office. Carlisle had forbidden him to move. "How do you want your dinner prepared?" I asked to distract my mate from what was happening. He looked at me with tears in his eyes. 'Our cubs, they may never get to live' Alice showed up at that moment and took the things for Jake's dinner to the kitchen she would prepare the meal for him she could see I did not want to leave his side. I was terrified I would loose him and he was concerned about the cubs we were having.
Carlisle Pov:
I watched as my son ran to the manor to be with his mate. I had seen him like this with Bella. I hoped that if the absolute worst happened he could survive it. I had given Jake the shot to strengthen the lungs of the twins. What we needed now was time. Two weeks would make all the difference in the world to this little family. I prayed for the first time in years to what ever gods were listening to help my son and his mate through this. I would do every thing in my power for them but there was just too much that was a waiting game in this. I had seen those born medically fragile and it was not like there were many germs here but I just did not have the things I needed for a fragile child. Hmmm I had the credentials I could go to a medical supply place and get a couple of incubators.
" There is not much time." I turned to see Alice standing behind me it was she who spoke. She handed me a set of keys this set was to the Volvo. Apparently we still had yet to locate the keys to the SUV. I ran for the old stable where we kept the vehicles I was about to simply use the Volvo when I saw the keys to the SUV hanging from the rearview mirror. "Thank you, little folk I needed these." I would have to be sure to leave them something.

Two weeks later I awoke to sharp pains in my stomach. I called Carlisle was downstairs. Edward had not left me for a single moment he was sitting at the desk with his head down pretending to sleep Carlisle had hired a nurse to come in and help out. She had Violet eyes like the Vampires in the book series I was reading. I liked her she had been told we were different but we tried to appear as normal as possible. It was good practice after all.
Carlisle came running in I told him about the pains I was having. Edward stirred at that raising his head a little too alert for having been asleep. The nurse looked at all of us she had just entered the room. "You know you can drop the act right? I am a vampire too though I have never seen a male vampire before I am hardly phased by it." we all starred at her then another pain ripped through me. My twins were coming way too soon. I was in tears. What would we do?

Three hours later I was holding my eldest son our youngest son had not even cried when he was born he was in Edwards arms now. In tears I named them. Knowing that my youngest was not expected to live I named him first. "my youngest son is to be called Kahgee"
Edward added his middle name, "Then he shall be known as Kahgee Louis after my biological father and the traditions established by his sisters."
"I name my eldest son Jacy " I held him close as he cried his frustration at the brightness of the room. Edward took Jacy from me and handed me Kahgee "Then he shall be known as Jacy Rune ." as soon as his brother was named Kahgee gave a tiny squeak and blood seeped from his mouth. I held my tiny son too weak to survive as he died in my arms. We still had Jacy but it was a tempered with the loss of his baby brother. Carlisle took Kahgee from me and Edward put Jacy in the cot with the warming light over it too keep him warm.
Edward pov:
The funeral was hard Jacy was still in an incubator with tubes helping him breath. My mate sat there crying for our lost cub and I would be crying if I could. He was laid to rest in Carlisle's family vault. Alice etched his name into the top of his small marble coffin.
-Kahgee Louis Cullen- Beloved son, Sleep well sweet prince.

I know I ended this on a sad note but it does sort of perilell some things in my own life and all happyness is tempered with some sadness else we would never know what it is to be truly happy.
