9. A Delivery

Jake POV

It felt like my heart was in my throat when Rosalie started playing Pachelbel's Canon, my bride to be was being escorted down the stairs her arms linked with Edward's.

Every vampire or shapeshifter in the room could hear not just my heart racing with excitement, but Renesmee's. I'm sure that if Bella could cry, she'd be blubbering her still heart sore. I felt a hand on my shoulder; Seth gave my shoulder a gentle pat. Everything's going to be fine. Everything's going to be fine.

Then everything was fine.

My eyes locked on Renesmee as soon as she had stepped off the bottom stair. Her beautiful hair was tied up in an elegant bun of curls, a few locks cascading down her soft face. Her chocolate brown eyes framed with thick eyelashes and a splash of green on her eyelids. Her cream dress fitted to every curve with specks of green that ran the length of her dress which flowed behind her like liquid. She was breath-taking, I actually forgot to breathe. She saw me ogling at her and smiled her smile that I knew was just for me.

When she reached me, I reached for her hand the music faded to silence.

"You look beautiful beyond words." Her cheeks flushed a rosy pink. We turned to Carlisle, who had been chosen to make the ceremony.

"I thank you all once again for coming today. For in a few years we will have the real wedding." A chuckled filled the room. This was a wedding; we just couldn't make it legal. But in my eyes, and everyone else in this room, we would be husband and wife at the end of the day.

The ceremony finished quicker than I realised, maybe because I was lost in Renesmee's beautiful eyes.

"You may now kiss the bride." I kissed Mrs. Black, my wife. Everyone cheered and wooed.

My reminiscing was interrupted by Renee charging in to the house, Charlie sheepishly following.

"Why has no one called me sooner?" Her fury made everyone take a step away from her. Charlie was the only brave, or had already had the lash of Renee's wrath, enough to say anything. Renee calmed and turned to Edward.

"She's upstairs if you want to see her." Renee nodded and ran up the stairs and vanished into Carlisle's study. I sighed, damn Renesmee only wanted women, and Carlisle obviously, with her. I should be there, she's my wife.

"She's my daughter, don't you think I'm upset." Edward reminded me again. We had both kicked up fusses only to be practically thrown out by Alice. I sighed again and sank back on to the bottom step of the stairs. I wonder how things are going.

"Everything's fine, no problems." Edward answered my thought.

"Stop spying." Alice growled. Edward growled back, he was taking this worse than me. My thought started him pacing across the width of the hall.

"We've got company." Edward whispered.

I stood up as the front door opened and Aro flanked by Jane and an unknown guard flowed into the room, their hoods up on their cloaks. Aro reached for his hood and gently pulled it down, his translucent face filled with worry and happiness. Jane reluctantly pulled her hood down, and as reluctantly willing to look anyone in the eye.

"Hello Jane, how nice to see you again." Lee's sarcastic remark made Jane's head snap up and angry flash over her face. "Now now Jane, do you want another taste of your own medicine?" Shock replaced the anger and she lowered her head to stare at the floor again.

"Now that you have searched my head for why we are here, can we relax?" Aro's gentle voice sounded barely like a whisper.

"Can the rest of us know why you're here?" Emmett asked. Aro smiled, but it seemed a little forced.

"Yes, indeed. Firstly I came to warn you all about Caius. When I found out about his plan to have Lee kill Renesmee, I was very disappointed in him. He broke a promise to me, and in doing so broke my promise to you. He then also made a vampire to kill Lee in case he failed. Both myself and Marcus agree he no longer deserves to belong with the Volturi. So we banished him from its walls. Jane was upset with our choice, but she understood the reason behind it. We came to warn you, for I think Caius may be planning his revenge. So I offer you our help if that is ever to be the cause." Aro explained, obviously upset about the whole affair. He continued without waiting for anyone to respond.

"Secondly, I want to introduce the vampire who Caius made to kill Lee. This is Louisa." The unknown vampire pulled her hood on and her deep red hair fell to her waist. She hesitated before lifting her head to see us. Her skin was the alabaster shade of the vampires, her eyes the crimson red of the newborn.

But, she looked so young.

Her face was round, her wide eyes almond shaped, her pink thin lips pulled tight in worry and fear. She looked about the age of fourteen. She looked uncomfortable with everyone staring and nervously averted to gaze to the floor.

"Louisa has been with us for 3 months and hasn't once eaten. She refuses to drink human blood. So I thought she would be better here than with us. She is also amazingly talented. She has the ability to stop other vampire's talents or make them stronger." Aro explained. Emmett whistled impressively.

All I could think about was how young she looked.

"Yes Jacob, she is fourteen." Edward answered again. Horror ran through my veins.

"Caius changed her when she was fourteen years old?" I was gobsmacked.

"Another reason why we banished Caius, we swore to never change anyone under the age of 16. Anyone over the age, we ask them first." Aro explained again. He looked like he had a huge weight resting on his shoulders, but since he had arrived he seemed slightly better. Only slightly.

"Louisa, you must be hungry. Do you want me to help you hunt?" Lee had walked to Louisa and held out his hand to her. She raised her head and looked at Lee. Everyone saw the sparks fly, and the way they both ogled at each other.

"Love is in the air." Emmett sang, both Lee and Louisa giggled as she took his hand and ran out of the house.

Aro smiled a happy smile now. "Well at least she'll be happy here. Now, how is Renesmee?"

"She's fine, everything's going..." He didn't finish his sentence because Renesmee screamed.

I jumped up and started up the stairs but was pulled back by Edward; his face looked as tense as mine felt. A few moments past in silence.

Then another scream pierced the silence. Everything fell silent again, then the sound of five women's cooing voices floated down stairs. I looked to Edward and he nodded.

I sprinted upstairs and flew into Carlisle's study, straight to Renesmee's side. I took hold of her hand as everyone else flocked into the room.

There was so much noise but I tuned it out so I could hear Renesmee.

"How are you feeling?" My voice full of concern. Her face shiny with sweat, her eyes barely able to stay open from exhaustion.

"Tired." Her voice just a murmur. She smiled, using all her energy. "You haven't seen them yet." I looked up to Bella, and saw her cooing into a bundle of blankets. I stood up, only then seeing what she was holding.

A baby. My child.

All the words that were on the tip of my tongue vanished. I managed to tear my eyes away from the small child to Bella who was watching me, she smiled and handed me my baby.

I held the tiny baby in my huge arms, just staring at this wonder.

"That's your daughter." Bella told me.

She has short black hair, which was flat to her head. My russet coloured skin and Renesmee's chocolate brown eyes, which was staring back at me with an intuitive look.

"Jacob." I heard Bella say not taking my eyes of my daughter. "This is your son."

My head snapped up to see Bella handing me another bundle.

"Son? I thought she was only having one child?" I asked. Luckily, when Carlisle used the sonogram to see the baby, it worked, but there was only ever one baby.

"Yeah, he was hiding behind her." Bella handed me my son. He looked exactly like his sister except he had curly hair.

"Twins. Should have known really, twins run in the family." I sat in the chair next to the bed Renesmee was lay in. "You thought of any names? I'm stumped." She smiled.

"I have actually. Sarah Marie and Ephraim Daniel."

"That's my middle name!" Charlie said ecstatically.

"I asked Mum before." She smiled again.

"I like them. You're mum would have been proud Jacob." My dad's voice shocked me. I hadn't heard him coming in. Old man should have been a wolf.

"Yeah. I like them." I kissed both my children on their forehead, then my wife before turning to my Dad. "Come and meet Sarah and Ephraim. You too Sue, you are technically their Grandma now." I saw a tear roll down her face.

"Thank you Jacob. This means so much to me." I kissed her cheek and handed my children to them.

"I'm a great-grandmother and I have just turned 40." Renee laughed. The room filled with laughter, I sat back in to the chair next to Renesmee as my children were past around to everyone.

Louisa and Lee came back a few hours later; Alice hasn't let Louisa leave her side. With Louisa strengthening her power, she is now able to see the wolves.

"How big can this family get?" Aro joked. Carlisle laughed before answering.

"We have enough love to give, so we give it." I smiled and turned my attention to my children in my arms. I've got more love to give now to these adorable children.

"I love you Sarah Marie. I love you Ephraim Daniel. I love you Renesmee Carlie." Sarah made a noise that sounded like a giggle and Ephraim smiled.

"I love you too Jacob." Renesmee whispered before falling to sleep, as if they were connected to their mother, the children drifted off too. As I sat and watched my family dream I knew that we were one special family destined for something adventurous and terrifying. But as long as we were together, as a family, we could stand it.


Thank you for reading this. I'm sorry again for any spelling mistakes, I finished this last year and decided I might as well let you all read this.
