Chapter 9:
Bella POV:
It's been two days since Aaron came. He isn't settled properly till now but everyone understands that he or my other pack mates haven't been in contact with any other supernatural beings like this. So they understand and are spending as less time as they can. I know that it is uncomfortable for them also as they have spent so much, or at least there time when they were free, staying here and now they can't do that but still they understand and I'm grateful to them. When they saw Tracey, they all fell in love with her. She sure is a cute little thing that everyone adores. Xavier and Sebastian have already taken role of her protective brothers, much to everyone's amusement. Aaron also runs patrols with Sam's Pack, or should I say my other Pack. He will run patrol for about four hours and then will be with Tracey, or with me helping me whatever I am doing, or in his room with Aurora's photo in his hand. I'm worried for him, I know it's only been few days but I hope he doesn't stick to this routine or else he'll go in depression; and I don't want it. I hope that others also come quickly, so that I don't have to be afraid that something will happen to them.
I was brought from my thoughts by Seb, as he came running to me laughing and screaming 'mama' 'mama'. Whenever I see him or Xev, I always see Ryan in them. They both are perfect mix of mine and Ryan. He would've been so much happy to be in their life, to teach them everything himself. We had thought so much that we'll teach our children but he didn't get time for that.
"Mama, Mama save me." Seb screamed laughing running at me, Kol behind him pretending to catch him and laughing
"Come here, baby. I'll save you from everyone." I said to him trying to not laugh
He came running and hid behind me on sofa where I was sitting. Kol came and started trying to get to Seb making weird noises but I won't let him.
"No Kol, leave my baby alone." I said to him laughing, but in end he took Seb from behind me and started tickling him
I was watching how Kol have become so familiar with both Seb and Xev. I know that if Seb is here with Kol, then Xev would be with Paul. Whenever they are free, they would come here and spend some time with kids or me. Whatever I am doing at that time, they would help me, or tell me about their day. Same is with everyone else, they will be on their job till afternoon or evening then if they want, or have time then they will come here and talk with me. Emily will come and we'll always make cookies or cakes or any other dish we'd thought others will like. Kim would talk about fashion, Sex, men. I have met Claire, Embry's imprint. She is such a sweetheart. We talk about anything and everything. Rebekah, Rosalie and I would talk about kids, parenting, etc.
I realized that I have spend so much time in thoughts that I didn't know when Kol and Seb have left and Jasper had came in.
"Oh Jasper, sorry. I didn't know when you came in. I was kind of lost in my thoughts." I said to him embarrassed
"Ah, nothing to say sorry. I just wanted to talk to you about something." He replied nervously
"Sure, come here. What is it?" I asked curiously
"Do you know about my history?" he asked
"No, I only know of some people." I replied honestly, he nodded
"Then first start with it. My real name is Jasper Whitlock. I was born in 1844, in Houston, Texas. When I was 17, I wanted to join army but because of my age they wouldn't let me. So I lied and told them that I was 20 and they recruited me. I was married at that time to a beautiful woman, Emma Carstairs. And I had a daughter with her, Arabella Whitlock. When I came home after a year from Army, we got news one month later that she is pregnant with my child. I was escastic. When Arabella was four months old, I got informed that I had leave. I didn't want to leave them but I also wanted to join army. After joining Confederate Army for 2 years, I was promoted to major in the army and became youngest major in Texas. After evacuating women and children, I rode on my way back to Galveston and met vampires, Maria, Lucy and Nettie, who had recently lost their respective territories to other covens. Maria knew from my suit that I was in the military and changed me into a vampire in hopes of utilizing my training and experience to create an efficient army. Me and other newborns helped Maria reclaim her territory and later claim dominance over others Nettie and Lucy gained territories of their own, but when they tried to rebel against Maria, I sensed their malevolent emotions and teamed up with Maria to kill them. when I became vampire, I gained the ability to feel and manipulate people's emotions which was very useful in controlling the younger newborn. But still I kept my eyes on my human family. Emma didn't marry or saw anyone, she only took good care of Ara. When Ara was 17 years old, she married the man she loved, Henry Higginbotham. My father walked her down the aisle. She would always go to my grave on Sundays and tell me whatever she had done in her week. Then on one Sunday I was surprised when she told me, 'Dad, I know you're here. I've known my whole life that you've watched over me. I told Mom, but she didn't believe me, she said that I was imagining it but I know in my heart that you're with me dad,, Always. I wanted to share something with you first. I'm pregnant; yeah I'm going to be a mother soon. Your baby girl is going to a mother. I wanted to share it with you first. I want you to be there when I give birth to my child, you were there when I was born, I would be grateful if you will be there, Please'. As she had requested, I was present when she gave birth to her child, Marie Higginbotham. I was there when Marie was celebrating her fifth birthday but after that I left Maria so I couldn't see her. I don't know what happened to them then." He finished
"Sorry Jasper, you've to leave your family behind." I said and gave him a hug
"Wait… did you say Marie Higginbotham?" I asked nervously and surprise
"Yeah…" he replied nervously
"So that means…" I stopped and looked at him wide eyed
"Yeah… you're my family." he said, but I noticed he was still looking stressed and nervous
"But why are you looking stressed and nervous?" I asked him
"Um… I didn't know if you wanted to know this. You know, you have your own family and I didn't wanted to impose myself on you or your family." he finally told me
"Hey! That's just rubbish. You don't know how much happy I am to know that I have someone related to my Grams with me. You're my family with blood. You wouldn't have to impose yourself on us. Oh, if Grams was here, she would've been so happy." I replied happily and hugged him as tightly as I can
I didn't knew I was crying until he wiped my tears away from my cheeks. I calmed myself and saw that I had ruined his shirt.
"Sorry for your shirt." I said blushing
"Don't worry, Sweetheart. I'm just happy to have you and your kids as my family." he replied smiling to which I smiled softly
"Mama, hungry." I heard from behind and saw my kids with Kol and Paul who were smiling at me with knowing eyes
"Well let's go and feed you all." I replied laughing and left for kitchen
