SORRY ABOUT THE WAIT! STARTED COLLEGE (WOOP!) HERE IT IS...CHAPTER 11
*Comment on this chapter and get a sneak peek!*
Aunt Rosalie was still in the mini-hospital after 3 days. Grandpa Carlisle said that she was almost healed and that it should take maybe another day or so. She was always with her baby. Uncle Emmett would carry him like a football. He was so cute. His eyes were brown but when Grandpa Carlisle gave him blood they would start turning gold. They never stayed gold though and Grandpa Carlisle and my dad were already trying to figure out why.
My mom was helping both of my aunts. She would play with one baby while my aunts took showers or went shopping. My mom didn't mind at all. The twins were already about 2 months old but looked about a year old. They could walk; talk and Mary liked to sing. She would wear tutu's that her mom would buy her and her sister to wear. Esmeralda on the other hand would like to hang out with my dad and started learning how to play the piano and the guitar.
Aunt Alice loved her babies. One night as we were sitting around them I decided to ask her a question about the babies and their names.
"Aunt Alice, where did you get their names? They really aren't a combination of anything?"
"Well for Mary Rose we decided to use my human first name. Jasper always liked it and I thought I could get used to it. I wanted to be like your mother and make the people in the family have something to do with the name of the children. Her middle is Rose as in Rosalie. I didn't want to have the exact name either. Esmeralda Bell was harder to decide. I wanted Esme to be a part of the names since she was always a part of my life as long as I have known her. Esmeralda was such a pretty name and if she didn't like it she could always shorten it to Esme." My aunt small laughed as we turned to see Aunt Rosalie happy about her name contribution and Grandma was also happy. "Then came the middle name. I was trying to figure out something about you and your mom. Instead I did Bell because it was something short and sweet, much like you and your mother."
Everyone smiled as the twins were showing us a dance. Suddenly I saw a vision in my mind and saw the twin's room. I saw a toy and started reaching for it and then I was back in the living room in my same old spot. I shook my head and saw that everyone is my family looked worried.
"What just happened? I felt like I was teleported or something." Uncle Emmett was holding his head between his knees and then came up but was still holding his head, much like if he had a headache.
"It seems that the little one had a power." We saw Mary looking up at her room and then suddenly back at us. "I believe Mary has a slight combined power of you two, Alice and Jasper." Grandpa Carlisle went to Mary and asked her what she wanted.
"I want the toy from upstairs please." She stood up and walked up to her room. She came back down with a little toy cell phone that Aunt Alice had just bought for her. It was also the toy that everyone had seen in our "vision."
Grandpa Carlisle got back up and looked at Mary some more.
"How is she like Alice? We can't see her visions?" My dad asked worried.
"Well Alice can see things, most of the time the future. Jasper can make people feel however they want to feel. Hence, she lets people see the visions that she wants them to see. As a baby she wanted one us to get her toy and she let us know buy showing us."
"That is so cool!" Uncle Emmett didn't seem to have any headaches anymore and was more interested and what Mary could do. I looked over at Aunt Rosalie and could see that she was somewhat bothered by Uncle Emmett's reaction.
Aunt Rosalie seemed to be the only one that didn't have a special power. Technically Uncle Emmett was just extra strong, but at least he had something.
I looked at little Carter and saw that it would never matter to her if he was extra special or not. And the family wouldn't mind either. He would always be special no matter what.
"I wonder if Esmeralda can do anything." Grandpa Carlisle went over to Esmeralda who was trying to touch different keys on the piano. She didn't seem to be trying to "teleport" us anywhere. She just smiled and waved her hand over so she could have another lesson with my dad.
"Well maybe she won't have anything. I would still love her the same!" Aunt Alice was always happy and the fact she got girls as her first kids only made it better.
After the twins showed off their musical and powerful talents, they took a nap and our entertainment ended. The twins only slept an hour or less. Grandpa Carlisle was still trying to figure out why they need anything human.
I decided to go into town and shop around. Jacob had gone back to La Push because his sister in Hawaii was getting divorced. She had come back and was trying to get away from her ex-husband. Jacob was there to make sure nothing got crazy and to be there for his sister. I called him but it went straight to voicemail. He always had it turned off during the day. He had so much going on, if he got on the phone with me he would drop everything and come try to fix my problems.
I took my mom's Ferrari and raced to downtown. I went to about 10 stores and bought some clothes for the babies, for myself. Found some football memorabilia for my Uncle's and some cool records for my dad. I found some vintage jewelry for Aunt Rosalie and some cute clothes for Aunt Alice. I couldn't think of anything for my mom but eventually found some books that looked interesting. She was definitely the reader of the family when it came to plays.
I headed back home going more than the speed limit, checking for cops at every exit. I reached home quickly and saw the Rabbit in the driveway.
I ran inside and saw Jacob sitting with Carter in his lap. He put Carter down and ran to pick me up. We kissed and I showed him my bedroom. We raced to the third floor and fell on my bed. I heard my dad yelling to get off the bed but I didn't listen. We wouldn't do anything anyway while they were there. We just kissed and then I laid on his stomach and listened to his heartbeat. It was really fast, the opposite of mine.
"I missed you Nessie!" Jacob whispered.
I propped up on his chest and kissed him some more. I showed him how sad I was once he left but was happy when he got home.
"I'm sorry I left so long. Hopefully I won't be next time."
"Are you leaving again?" I realized my voice sounded strained almost like I was mad.
"Yeah..." He paused and didn't seem to sure how to continue, "But just to pick up some things so I can bring them back. My sister decided to move back and work out some things with her husband. I aint going anywhere!" He gave me a big bear hug and we started kissing again.
We laid in each other's arms until his arms starting going numb. I got up and fixed my hair and makeup from the heavy make out session.
We went back downstairs and saw my family had gone outside. They were trying to see how fast the twins could go. Carter could run but he was still smaller than the other kids.
Mary was faster than her sister. Esmeralda didn't seem very amused at the fact that Grandpa Carlisle was trying to test her strength and endurance.
All of sudden Esmeralda grinned and disappeared.
We looked around and then saw her on top of the tree feet away. She was waving to us and we all started laughing. She disappeared from the top of the tree and landed in front of us.
"Well it looks like we know who's faster now Edward!" Uncle Emmett grinned at my dad. My dad was faster than Uncle Emmett but not anymore and Uncle Emmett was happy about it.
Esmeralda went back to staring of into the distance. Grandpa Carlisle went over to her and asked if she could do anything else. She nodded her head left and right and continued playing with her sister. They were both adorable.
I looked over at Aunt Rosalie and noticed she was quiet more than usual. She probably wasn't too happy that Carter wouldn't get any powers. Neither she nor Uncle Emmett had any special powers like my other aunts and uncles.
I looked back at little Carter and noticed he was very active. He was running away from Uncle Emmett and Uncle Emmett would run after him.
Jacob decided to join with the kids and started chasing all of them. He might have looked like he was 25 or older but in heart he would always be 16. He was still such a teenager.
The little kids loved him. He could keep up with them and made sure never to catch up with them so that they could think they were faster than them.
Grandma Esme called us in from the house for dinner. Jacob and I ate normal food. The twins had bottles of blood.
They wouldn't go hunting until they were bigger. I still remember when I first went hunting. I thought it was pretty awesome but could be scary for young ones.
I sat with Jacob and helped my aunts with the little ones. The men went to watch the football game that was on. They were betting big bucks.
"So mom, I was wondering, are we still going to school? I mean with everything that has happened?" I looked over at her and at my Aunts.
"I was asking your father that the other day. I think we should go back. We haven't gone in so long and now you're old enough to enter."
"I want to go back but I don't know about leaving my young ones." Aunt Alice was always with the twins.
"Carter is still so small. I might just take some classes at college or something." Aunt Rosalie didn't want to leave her young one either.
My dad got up from the living room and sat next to my mom.
"Nessie I think you and Jacob need to start school immediately. I know these past few years have had its ups and downs but I think that now would be a good time."
"Okay, when do you think that I can start?" I looked over at the calendar and saw that it was mid October. I would make it for the last part of the first semester.
"I think we could go talk to the counselor sometime tomorrow and maybe start next week. I don't know if everyone is going to go. Your mother and I want to go back and I know Emmett wants to."
We looked over at my aunts and saw that Aunt Alice was considering what to do.
"I think that I need to go back. Then I'll become that mother that is too much in their kid's life." Aunt Alice picked up the empty bottles and let the girls out of their high chairs.
"I don't know. I'll have to think about it some more." Aunt Rosalie helped Carter finish his bottle and then let him out of his high chair.
Jacob and I cleaned up our plates and went up to my room. I laid on top of him for a couple of minutes with my eyes closed imagining what the school would think when they saw my family and then Jacob.
I had my hand on Jacob and he laughed when he saw my vision.
"Nessie, they'll probably think you guys are holding me captive."
I opened my eyes and stared into his eyes. I kissed him softly and then laid back down. I missed just being able to be with him. He reminded me of my real home in Forks.
We ended up falling asleep and I dreamed of starting school and being able to drive and be seen with Jacob.
I awoke to screaming and looked beside me and saw Jacob was awake too. We went downstairs and saw my Aunt Rosalie yelling at Gabby.
Gabby had returned and wanted to join the family again. She also wanted to change a boy she had met so that they could both be vampires.
Aunt Rosalie was tired of people changing so I figured that she was angry about any new vamps.
"Rosalie be reasonable. I thought we bonded." Gabby was smiling while Uncle Emmett was holding Rosalie back.
"No, we were not close! Get out of here and never mention that threat again!"
My dad was with my mom and they both looked angry. Uncle Jasper was by Aunt Alice. I looked across the hall and saw Grandma Esme watching all the young ones. She told me to go down.
We walked down the stairs and saw that Gabby was red-eyed and looked somewhat like she worked for the Volturi. She had black clothing and was wearing a red robe. Her eyes seemed like they pierced through my skin.
"Hi Sex Teen and your partner." I immediately got upset and tried to keep Jacob back before he did anything bad.
My dad however stood up, "GABBY ENOUGH! Leave the house and never come back!"
"Eddy, you know I can't do that. I told you guys what I need. I need your babies. All 3 of them. They are all property of the Volturi and if they are not returned by tomorrow they will come for you and your family. They will kill you with no remorse."
"What are you talking about?" Aunt Alice spoke up and tried to break free from Uncle Jasper's clutch.
"The paper you guys found was for the Volturi only. You guys never read the other portion of the document. There is a piece missing from your copy. It says that if you guys have a baby then they have to go to the Volturi. You guys love breaking rules I see."
We all looked at each other and watched as Gabby put back on her hood.
"Consider this my warning. I will come back tomorrow for the stupid twerps. If I don't get them by tomorrow you will have the Volturi on your footstep again.
She left and started laughing. Why couldn't we just have a normal life without everything going to hell?
