I had to get used to it. My life would never be normal. Every time I think that I was in heaven, and thought things couldn't go wrong, something happens. I was afraid whose life would be on the line next. It has been a year since Aro "visited". The babies have grown so much. It was their first birthday party. I insisted they have one. I wanted their life be as normal as possible, until they reached around 16. Jacey and Nathan learned how to say easy words like mama and dada. But one day when Emmett was watching Nathan, he learned how to say "Em". I don't think the kids knew what was going on. They saw decorations and stared. Their party was in the backyard.

"Happy birthday" My family yelled. Then it was time to eat cake. They each got one saying their name on it. They got cake all over! I usually would freak out over this, but it was outside, and they were having fun. Then Jacob got a call.

"Hello?" He answered. "Yes," There was a long pause. "Ok, thank you." He hung up.

"I have to go." He said.

"What?" I asked. He didn't answer. He ran to our car. It was dead silent.

"Dad, what's going on?" I asked him

"He doesn't want me to tell you. He wants his kids to have a happy birthday, and you not to worry." he said.

"Well, we should open the presents, now." Alice said, trying to lighten the mood.

The main things they got were toys. There were a couple of outfits.

"Um, I'm going to go to the bathroom. If they need anything, it's in the baby bag." I went into the bathroom and locked myself in there. I plopped to the floor and took my phone out of my pocket. I dialed Jake's number.

"Hey, Ness." He said, it sounded like he was crying.

"Jake? What's wrong?" I asked. I wanted to hug him, but I didn't know where he was.

"It's my dad. He got in a car accident. He got hit by a drunk driver."

"Is he going to be ok?" I asked

"The doctor said that if he doesn't get better by midnight, there's nothing else they can do." he mumbled

"Should we come to the hospital?" I asked

"Only you, the kids wouldn't understand." He said.

"Ok, I'll be there, Do you just turn right at the intersection?"

"Yes." he said.

"I love, you." I said

"Love you too, Bye." and I hung up the phone and went outside.

"I'm going to the hospital, Jake's dad got in a car accident. He might not make it. What time is it?" I asked them.

"It's 4." Jasper said.

"Could you please watch the kids? We'll be back around midnight. Dad, could I take your Volvo?" He nodded. "Will someone come with me and take the Volvo back home, because our car is there?" I asked

"I'll come with you." Rosalie said

"We'll take of the kids. What time do you want them to lay down?" Mom asked.

"6 or 7 depending on how cranky they are." I said, "And just fix them Mac and cheese, for supper, they don't care." I said as I walked out of the door, behind Rosalie. The car ride there was silent. I got to the hospital and found Jake at the doors, waiting for me. I ran up to him and gathered him in a hug. He didn't want to let go, he didn't have to.

"He's in the ICU, Ness." he said. It wasn't a question, so I didn't answer. After we waited in the waiting room for 3 hours, I checked the time. It was 8. They told us that we could come in every hour, for 30 minutes, then they had to do check-up things. The time past fast. I called Mom a couple of times. Then it was 11:30. The doctor came in.

"He hasn't changed since he got here. I'm sorry." Jake grabbed me in a hug and sobbed. I drove to my parents house.

"You are more than welcome to stay in our guest bedroom." Esme said.

"Thank you, grandma." I said. We walked into the room, seeing our kids soundly asleep in their away-from-home cribs. We kept those at every house we might visit. I immediately fell asleep. I woke up to Nathan crying. Jake started to get up.

"No, I'll get him. Go back to sleep." I told him. I went to the bathroom and changed him, so I wouldn't fear to wake Jacob.

"Are you a big boy?" I asked my son. He just stared at me and nodded a little. I changed his diaper.

"Good boy, you didn't even cry." I told him. I grabbed his pacifier and went into the living room, where Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward were playing Monopoly. I sat in the rocking chair and rocked my son to sleep. I glanced at the clock. 3 in the morning. I went back into the room, where I saw Jake holding Jacey. I put Nathan in his crib and sat by Jake.

"Are your sisters planning the funeral, or are you?" I asked him.

"They are, but they still will ask for my opinion." he told me.

Now it was 2 days after Billy's death. We were on our way to the funeral. We had to take the kids because the rest of the family were hunting. Mom and Dad came though. We walked into the chapel, only Jacob's sisters, and some of the pack were in there. We sat down, to what would be a long day. We brought a 4 full baby bottles, some cheerios, a couple of toys, and pacifiers. Mom and dad offered to hold them, so we let them. We sat and talked until the ceremony started. Then I remembered I took a picture of Billy holding each of them, one time we went there. I could frame it and put it above their cribs. Then the ceremony started. Everybody talked about the good times. Then it was time for the outside burial. The rain made it worse. Everyone came up to Jake and hugged, or shook his hand. Then we went home. This was going to be a big hill to pass over.

Ok, now, I really need help on what should happen next! Please suggest or I'lll have to stop writing this story.
