Alice told Lyn she became a mommy!

Chapter 11

I felt someone tapping my face as softly as they could, and my eyes fluttered open. Everyone was looking down on me; Alice especially. Circe and Kiska helped me sit up and I looked at my family confusingly. "What do you mean I'm a 'mommy'?" I asked groggily.

Alice giggled and was about to respond, but Jasper stopped her. "Perhaps you should let the other girls tell her, darlin'." I instantly relaxed, knowing that I wouldn't be suffocated with information. Circe helped me to my feet and led to one of the armchairs. The others followed us to the sitting area and sat down. Esme sat in a chair near me and took my hands in hers.

"Iason was kind enough to show us pictures from the newspaper of Xavier's parents; you could double as his mother." My mouth dropped open. "We weren't going to do anything like this… but he began throwing a tantrum, and demanded that we bring him back to his 'mommy'." I heard a couple of laughs from around the room; so I'm pretty sure I was gawking. Edward caught my attention, and I turned to look at him.

He calmed his laughing, after getting hit by Bella, and began speaking. "When we were at the police station, all he kept thinking about was you. I can't even count the number of times your face flashed through his mind." A smile slowly graced my face. "All he kept thinking about was you saving him and bringing him to the house." By this time I was full out grinning; I was becoming more used to the idea. But my mind hit on the mental brakes.

"Wait a minute!" I cried. They all looked at me curiously. "How are we going to get him out of Greece?"

Xanti laughed, drawing my attention. "Once everything was settled at the police station and agency, we took a ride to the DMV." Looking around the room, I saw everyone nodding their heads. "His picture was taken and his info stored in the computers. So now, the little one had a new passport."

"What about school? I can't just stop going!" I stated declaratively.

Carlisle smiled at me. "Esme and the girls—" Emmett whined a little. "—and perhaps the boys, too, have agreed to help watch him while you go to school." My face brightened up and I smiled very brightly.

"Oh, by the way…" Alice spoke. I looked to her, where she stood with Jasper. "His name is Xavier Matthew Swan." I smiled at Alice and thanked her. I was a couple minutes longer before I heard Myra asking me to show her my barrier, and I nodded my head. We all walked outside to the backyard, and we took our spots. Myra began building up her energy in her hands and I began concentrating hard. I looked up and caught Riley watching from the room that overlooked the yard. I thought back to yesterday; him attacking me and trying to hurt Xavier.

Myra tossed the balls and the protectiveness I'd felt yesterday washed over me. I threw my hands out in front of me, and waited for the blasts to hit me; however, they never did. Peeking through my fingers, I saw the blue shield that had protected Xavier and I the previous day. I put my arms down and looked at Myra with a stunned look on my face.

"She did it!"

"Amazing…"

"Just like Bella…"

At first I thought Myra would be pissed at me; but instead she had a smile on her face and was nodding her head proudly. "There's only one more thing left for you to learn before you can leave." My family became quiet and I nodded my head. "I've taught you to manifest your energy as an attack and now, a defense. There's one more type of defense; it's an advanced form of your normal barrier."

Once more I nodded my head and watched her. Myra let her barrier wash over her and then dissipate; a couple minutes later, she launched what looked like energy blasts toward me. It stopped a few feet away from me and spread like the barrier. "If you can produce your barrier and energy blasts, then this will be nothing. Just think of whatever to bring up your barrier, and then concentrate to form the energy balls. Then just watch." The barrier of Myra's dissipated and she nodded. Without even thinking about it for too long, my barrier sprung up around me.

"Now, let your barrier fall and quickly try to form the balls." She called to me. I did as he advised and a minute later I had my energy in my hands. "Now throw!" I flung my hands out toward her, but instead of them spreading out they stayed in a ball. Myra raised her hands and formed her own barrier before she got hit.

I apologized and watched as she formed two energy balls and released them. My gaze followed them and I saw them heading at Xavier, who was now standing on the patio in front of everyone. "Myra!" I heard Achlys cry. I threw my hands out, vaguely aware of the tingle in my hands. My energy flew toward Xavier and the others and spread out in front of them. Myra's blasts barely missed them and I stormed over to her.

"What the hell!?" I demanded. Somehow I knew that Jasper and Carlisle were making their way over to me. Bryce appeared by Myra's side as I glared daggers at her. "What the hell were you thinking, you psycho bitch!?" I made to lunge at her, but I felt two pairs of arms grab me.

"My plan worked, didn't it?" she snorted. Her comment made me stop and think. Did I really do what she wanted me to do? Did I really throw the barrier?! I heard Achlys laugh and confirm my thought.

Jasper said something to me, and I turned to look at him. "Let's get your bags packed. Esme called the airport and booked our flight." Smiling, I nodded and couldn't ignore the feelings of giddiness over getting to go home. Jasper sighed and nodded his head while leading me to the house, "Plus, Alice is dying to go shopping."

I cringed slightly, "For Xavier?" he nodded his head. As we began to walk inside, I pulled my arm from Jasper and stopped to pick up Xavier. Once he was settled in my arms, I made my way back to my escort. Jasper walked with me to my room.

Setting Xavier on the bed, I went to the closet and opened it. Pulling out my duffel, I tossed it to Jasper. There was a knock on the door and it opened to reveal Achlys. "Hey, Lyn." She greeted. I nodded as I grabbed what little clothes were in the closet. "We all got you a parting gift." She pulled a bag from behind her back. Jasper stopped me and pushed me toward her, and continued for me.

"You didn't have to." Achlys shook her head, thrusting the shopping bag at me. Going to the bed, I set the bag down and opened it; I pulled out a graphic t-shirt and a pair of tan cargo pants… which looked a little too small for me. I pulled the items out of the bag and set them down in front of Xavier. "There you go." He grabbed at the shirt and looked at it in awe. Laughing I continued to go through the bag and found a nice green, off-the-shoulder top with flared cuffs and a black denim mini skirt that would go down to my knees. Smiling, I thanked her and pulled the clothes out.

She looks at me with sad eyes, "There are a pair of sandals in there for you, and a pair of tennis shoes for him; also a couple of trinkets from when we went shopping." I walked over to her and gave her a huge hug, thanking her for everything they'd done. She left a couple minutes later after Jasper announced my clothes were packed. Snagging the shoes for both of us out of the bag, I helped Xavier out of his current clothes and into his new ones. I slipped the tennis shoes onto his feet and he stood up.

I watched as he took Jasper's hand and they both left the room; probably going downstairs to the atrium. Shedding my current attire as well, I dressed in the outfit they'd bought me and slipped on the sandals. Taking the dirty clothes Xavier and I had been wearing to my duffel, I unzipped it and shoved them in. I left it open and went back to the shopping bag; curious to see what else they'd gotten me.

The first thing I noticed was the tiny ring Achlys had shown me that day at the market. Even though I felt horrible, at seeing the engagement-like ring, I slipped it on my ring finger of my right hand. There were also a pair of earrings that matched and a couple of bracelets. I took the items out of the bag and put them in my duffel. Zipping it up, I grabbed hold of it and began to leave the room. I shut the door and walked down the atrium.

Bella was waiting for me near the front door. "The guys took Riley hunting… our way of hunting." I didn't acknowledge that statement; Riley had hurt me deeply and I wasn't about to let it go. I went to the couch Xavier was sitting on and dropped my bag beside it. Bella followed after me, sitting in an armchair. Xavier never looked my way as I pulled him on my lap; his eyes were fixed on the TV that was showing cartoons.

Time had seemed to stop as we sat there; we had watched three and a half episodes of 'Pokémon: Mystery Dungeon' when the guys got back. Carlisle excused himself to go speak with Esme, who was speaking to Circe. Jasper and Alice excused themselves, while Rose and Emmett decided to put the luggage in the cars. Edward sat on the arm of the chair Bella was sitting in. Iason's family was nowhere to be seen.

Sparing a glance as Riley, I saw that his eyes were losing some of their dark tint. It was like he knew I was looking his way, because his eyes slid to mine. Turning my eyes back to the TV, I made no more eye contact until Carlisle, the rest of our family, and Iason's were in the room. "All of the bags are in the cars?" Emmett and Rose nodded their confirmation. "Let's go then." I got to my feet, holding Xavier, and walked out of the room behind Emmett.

Iason and his family wished us well as we got into our vehicles. To my displeasure, Riley ended up riding in the car with Bella, Edward, and me. Carlisle and Esme took Xavier with them, while the other four rode in the in the rented SUV. We all pulled out of the driveway and gate, and then we were off to the airport.

When we arrived at the airport, we all got out of the cars. Emmett was able to grab a majority of the bags and we began walking inside. Carlisle and Jasper departed from us and then returned a couple minutes later. "I've got the tickets." Esme announced, and I turned to see her rejoining us. I followed behind Carlisle with Xavier toddling beside me, his hand grasping mine as tight as possible. We stopped at the customs gate and put our things on the conveyor belt. We emptied our pockets, putting our things in trays, and the custom agents began calling us forward.

It was only ten minutes for us to clear customs and we were on our way to the plane. We sat at the gate for almost half an hour, until our plane landed. We boarded our plan and sat there, waiting to take off. I was sitting by the window with Xavier beside me. Bella and Edward were sitting across from us in the center rows; Carlisle and Esme in front of them; Emmett and Rose behind Bella and Edward; Alice and Jasper were sitting in front of Xavier and I, and Riley behind me.

"Lyn!" my gaze snapped to Alice, who was turned around in her seat looking at me.

I blinked a couple of times. "I'm sorry! What?"

"Put your belt on." She declared. "We're fixing to take off." I nodded my head and turned to help Xavier with his belt. Once he was ready, I prepared myself; as soon as I was done, the plane rumbled and I assumed we were beginning to gain speed to lift off. The plane jolted a moment later, and I knew that we were up in the air. Opening the window, I watched as the ground disappeared and clouds soon replaced the pavement.

We landed in Port Angeles Airport several hours later, and I was glad to finally be home. We got into the cars in the parking lot; and I sighed at the comfort of Edward's Volvo. When we got to the house, Alice was quick to take off with Xavier to show him his room; which Edward told me had been decorated before they left to come after me. I laughed and made my way to my room.

When I opened the door, my eyes widened and I gaped in horror at the trashy state my room was in. Throwing my duffel bag on the floor inside the door, I slammed it shut and ran downstairs into the living room. "What happened to my bedroom!?" I shrieked with anger.

"I told you; Bella happened." Riley chuckled, walking past me and upstairs.

I was quiet for a few minutes and then looked at my sister. "What did you do!?"

"Um… I kind of… got mad at Edward…" she admitted uneasily.

My eyes widened. "You couldn't ruin something in your cottage? That's my room, Bells! MY ROOM!" I launched myself at my sister. She landed on the floor with an 'oomph' and I glared at her. "Why my room!?"

"What's goin' on here?" a familiar voice asked. Bells and I looked to see Charlie standing in the archway with the rest of our family behind him.
