Chapter 13
Alice-
We can't hide this for much longer. Rose has used every excuse she can to keep Emmett off of her. You really can't blame the man. They went from having sex at least four times a day to not at all. We all basically went cold turkey with our husbands. The results have been disastrous.
Especially, where my husband is concerned. Jasper.
His sexual frustration is strengthening the guys' in turn. His suspicion plagues them as well. His anger is constant and permeates the house. The girls and I can no longer feel it or be affected by his power, but the men are not so lucky. Edward has been keeping us in the loop about where their thoughts are headed…and it isn't good. Well, no, only with Jasper is there cause for concern. Carlisle is focused on his journals. And Emmett is just going with it, waiting for us to spill whatever it is we're hiding.
He was such a calm man before, my husband, but we're seeing now that was only the result of him feeding off of my naturally chipper attitude. Can't help that I'm a tiny ball of sunshine. I giggle at my thoughts and my husband lifts his head from the book he's reading to give me a questioning look.
Everyone's in the living room. Emmett's playing some new game, Jasper is reading on the loveseat, Carlisle is writing notes in his medical journal on the lazy-boy and Edward is sitting against the sofa cross-legged on the floor, he's on his phone…texting. Surprised he isn't on that damn piano. Heh. He's probably talking to Joey~.
I smile at my older brother as he grins down at his screen, shakes his head and responds to whatever text he just received. Rose, Esme, and I are seated on the couch. I'm between them sketching with Rose reading a fashion magazine to my left and Esme going through a portfolio on my right.
One or the other has made it a habit to always be around me, and if they can't then Edward is. They're on edge around Jasper at all times and being extremely protective constantly. Of course, the guys have taken notice to this, and that angers Jasper more, which in turn, angers our husbands more.
Emmett gets up and turns off his game, stretching his arms above his head out of habit before speaking to the room.
"Well…I'm starved," He pats his stomach and pouts, "Let's have us some guy time! Whaddya say to that my handsome brothers? Up for a man hunt?" He's grinning at Carlisle, Jasper, and Edward. Jasper is the first to respond.
"Fine. Need some damn air anyway." Emmett frowns, but doesn't say anything back. He just turns to Carlisle with hopeful eyes. He's such a man-boy.
"Yes, Em, alright. I haven't hunted in a while anyway, I'll join you." He looks to Ed.
"Eddie?" He's bouncing on his toes at this point. Edward looks up and rolls his eyes at the massive man's behavior before smiling and nodding.
"Sure Em, I'll go…but please…keep your clothes on this time? You'll scare off the food." Emmett booms out a laugh.
"Not makin' any promises bro-man, you know I'm messy when I hunt!"
With that they make their way out the house. On the way to the door, Jasper casts us one last suspicious glance before following after the boys. The three of us sigh out in relief. Li goes to speak.
"This can't go on for much longer girls. Obviously they know something's up." We put down what we were doing previously and I move into Esme's lap, with my back against the arm of the sofa and my legs spread out across Li's lap. On cue, both of them begin running their hands along my legs. I cross my arms, tilt my head up and just think for a moment.
"I know Li, but I mean, what can we do? How do we end decade-long marriages? You've been married to Em for 64 years. I've been married to Jas for 47 and Esme's been married to Carlisle for 138. Ugh! Why must this be so difficult?" They both nod, before Esme stops and shakes her head instead.
"No, Alice. This is not difficult. Not at all. Like you said, we've been married to these men for decades. The fire has long since burned out for all of us, because they were not our mates to begin with. Bella is our mate, our true mate. We mustn't drag this out any longer my loves," She pauses before her gorgeous features are set in a determined expression, "I won't miss Carlisle, not intimately at least. The man barely touched me from the start and sex became foreign after my newborn stage was over and done with. So, no, this will not be difficult for me. There's a constant fire in my heart at just the thought of Bella, but when I'm near her that flame grows to an inferno that spreads throughout my body. Have you ever felt anything even close to that with your husbands? Even in the beginning?"
Both Li and I are staring at Esme and, of course, shake our heads in the negative.
"Exactly," She continues, "So, we may be hurting them, but their own mates are out there waiting for them. Why must we wait to be with ours? What if either of them were to find their mate tomorrow? Do you think those men would be as tortured by the decision as us?"
"Maybe Em would," Esme and I look at Li and nod in agreement, "But definitely not Jasper, sorry Ali…and Carlisle…well, I'm not even sure that man can have a mate. He's always buried in his damn books; maybe those are his 'mate'." We snicker at that.
"He definitely gets more pleasure out of them, that's for damn sure." I giggle at Esme's words and I go to speak again.
"My visions are foggy at best where our Bella is involved, but I do know this. Jasper? He does. Not. Take. This. Well. In any of the futures I've seen. In some, he goes after Bella, and in all those futures he ends up dead fairly quickly." Li speaks next.
"Then there's no point in putting off what's sure to come, regardless of how or when we tell them. I say we do it now, today, as soon as they get back from hunting." We all look at one another and finally nod. We've decided.
*#*#*#*
The guys got back about 20 minutes ago; Li and I are in the kitchen helping Esme. We're all practicing our cooking. I'm sitting on the counter reading through a cookbook, while Li and Esme are trying not to break said counter as they slice vegetables on either side of me.
My focus starts to drift from the words in front of me and my mind begins to fill with thoughts of Bella. I go back over the choppy vision I had of her and Li together. I could only see bits and pieces, but those small moments were incredibly…visually pleasing. And physically pleasing.
I can tell my arousal has affected the girls, because they've stopped cutting and their eyes have darkened considerably. Purrs start rumbling from our chests, and in the next moment, my legs are spread wide against the counter, I'm practically doing a split, to accommodate their bodies standing between them.
I set the book next to me; everything has faded away, including the fact that the men are in the house.
Esme and Li begin running their hands along my legs, stomach and breasts, they turn their heads towards one another and start kissing slowly. Esme slides her tongue into Rose's mouth and Li sucks it languidly. A low moan escapes my throat at the scene before me.
Their attention is back on me and they lean in, wrapping an arm each around my waist and begin nibbling and sucking on my neck. My head falls back against the cupboard behind me. And then we hear a ferocious growl fill the kitchen, and all movement stops.
Standing in the doorway, being held back by an equally pissed Edward, is Jasper. However, Ed's anger is directed towards Jasper, and Jasper's staring at us…black-eyed and snarling. Fuck…oh fuck, how did I not see this? He…they weren't supposed to find out like this!
Esme and Li turn around and stay standing in front of me protectively, I slide off the counter onto my feet; Esme moves to stand just a bit more ahead of Rose. Emmett is staring slack-jawed at the three of us; he's unmoving behind Jasper, and Carlisle is wide-eyed next to Emmett.
"YOU WHORES! IT'S BECAUSE OF YOU! YOU CORRUPTED MY WIFE!"At Jasper's thundered words we all stiffen, but a vicious growl tears its way out of my throat that temporarily stuns my soon-to-be-ex and leaves everyone with a look of shock. How dare he say that about my mates!
After they get over their shock, Emmett goes into action next. The overgrown man-boy looks incredibly pissed. Emmett. Is. Mad.
He doesn't move towards us though, no, he moves his massive arm around Jasper from behind and grabs him by the throat. Carlisle is still standing there, but now his face is one of understanding and Edward is still wrestling to keep Jasper's limbs at his sides. Emmett helps by wrapping his other arm around my husband, successfully locking his arms in place against him. Edward speaks.
"Calm down Jasper!"
"NO! They stole her! They're together! It's revolting! It's wrong! SHE'S MINE!" Actually I'm Bella's, Rosalie's, and Esme's…but now's not the time to say something like that, huh? And I'm way~ too calm right now...
"Dude! Seriously, stop! Fuck, Ed and me ain't enough. CARLISLE! Move your ass man and help!" Emmett and Edward continue to hold the struggling, enraged vampire. Eventually Carlisle gives a hand as well. Or actually words. Useless words.
"Listen to me Jasper, you need to calm yourself, this isn't you. You're speaking through your anger. Please cal-" Carlisle's 'attempt' to stop Jasper is halted by the vampire getting an arm free and slamming a fist into his face, he goes flying from the doorway.
Jasper's no longer trying to speak; he's just snarling and growling like an animal. My husband is gone at this moment; his vampire is in complete control. Emmett recaptures his freed appendage and wraps both of his arms around Jasper's torso, removing the other from his throat.
"Dammit Jas, calm your ass down!"
"Jasper listen to me brother, find yourself, come on. Get back control!" Edward's words fall on deaf ears. And then chaos ensues, Jasper breaks free.
He doesn't rush to us though…no, instead he bursts through the wall of the house and high tails it to the forest letting loose a roar of rage. Nobody moves. Nobody's even breathing. We all just stare at the whole in the kitchen wall.
When Carlisle walks back in, we all start composing ourselves. Emmett is the first to break the silence.
"Ok...the fuck was all that?" I look to Esme and Li, we all stare at one another for a long moment before Rose answers.
"Em…Emmett I'm…we're, the girls and I are mated. We're true mates…" He tilts his massive head and slowly looks down with a deep sigh. "Emme-" She's silenced by his raised hand. He lifts his head and has a soft smile on his face.
"This is because of that Bella mechanic chick…isn't it?" Our eyes go wide.
"How do-"
"Come on Rosie, you know I'm not a fool. I'm a goofball and don't take things seriously. Funny as shit and handsome as fuck…but not a fool. I noticed how you acted around her that time at the shop. And since your first trip there…you were different, you came back different that day. I've known you for nearly a century Rosalie, how could I not notice a change that drastic in you?" I really wasn't expecting this from my big, goofy brother; but he's just full of surprises I guess. Li continues.
"Em…I'm so, so sorry…but yes, Bella is our mate, the reason for this connection…she's our true mate Emmett." My bear of a brother smiles gently at Li before walking up to her, asking permission with his eyes to Esme if he can pass, and when she grants it, he hugs my blonde-haired mate.
"Hey, it's alright. I've kinda been preparing for this. I'm just too damn lovable, ladies, you know that!" He steps back and crosses his arms with a face-splitting grin. "Besides, the whole ape-shit vampire Jasper thing aside…that was hot as fuck!" This earns him three eye rolls and he booms out his signature laugh. We all smile at our huge brother and then our attention is pulled away by the clearing of a throat. We look at Carlisle.
"Well, dear Esme, if you're happy then I have no qualms with this either," wouldn't really matter if you did Carlisle, our Bella would end those qualms rickety-split, "But I am interested to meet this Bella personally. From what I saw from her last hospital visit, she's clearly not human. I'm curious." There's the good 'ol Carlisle we know, brush off losing your wife to focus instead on the fact that you get to study something new! The man has issues…maybe living for over three centuries does that to you? Esme addresses him.
"Thank you dear, the girls and I already have our divorce papers ready to be signed. Excuse me while I go fetch them." Well, Esme did say she was more than ready for the break up, but damn.
Esme comes down with the papers and they're all signed. She Express Mail's Li's and hers, because…well, my husband is unaccounted for. However, she surprises me by pulling out an already signed divorce form.
"Come now darling, of course forging his signature would be no problem for us, hmm?" She smirks at me and I return it before signing my name and she sends it off the next moment.
"WAIT!" We all turn to Emmett's exclamation.
"She's not human?!" As Emmett goes through his moment we all roll our eyes and laugh softly at him as he continues to question us about what she is, arms flailing and everything. I giggle. Gotta love his moments.
Rose, Esme and I look at one another fondly, because now…now we can be with our mate. Our Bella. We'll deal with Jasper when the time comes, for now, we'll bask in this feeling and go tell our demoness the uplifting news.
*#*#*#*
Bella-
Its' Saturday and I'm damn near prancing around my small office. I get to see my girls today! Even my demon is doing a little happy dance. It's actually quite disturbing. And at the thought of my demon-status I freeze and move to sit down slowly in my office chair. I sigh heavily.
Since Awakening, my dreams have become even more vivid and informational.
In one, I dreamt about a 'Third'. The difference about this 'sibling' of mine is that they were created and kept in Hell itself instead of created and then placed in a surrogate mother to be birthed normally as Sammy and I had been. That was Renee's purpose; she was a portal that brought us into the mortal realm.
Basically…and this thought makes me get the giggles…her vagina was a temporary gateway from Hell…Pfft, kills me every single fucking time I think about it. Heh.
In another dream, I witnessed the end of the world by my hands, and in another it was Sammy. I'll never fucking allow it, though. Never. My brother is not evil. Fuck, I'm not evil, I refuse to be. In yet another dream, my mates stopped me and no apocalypse happens at all. I'm leaning more towards that one…obviously…yeah.
I've also been having more dreams about my past. My time with Renee and Charlie, and my life after, when Sammy was born, but before we had been taken in by George.
Before I can continue mulling over my thoughts, however, I hear the front door ding. All the guys are in the garage working on cars, so I'll have to be the one to help the new customer. I leave my office and freeze, then look at the clock, then look at my watch, and stare back at three breath taking women. My three breath taking women. They're an hour early; Alice's appointment was at 6:50.
"Surprise baby!" After Alice's joyous statement, she rushes at me and slams into my body, I remain unmoved from where I'm standing, and then she's burying her face between my breasts and giggling happily.
I wrap my arms around her tightly, lean my head down and bury my own face into her hair and breathe in her amazing scent. I start purring and she giggles again before stepping away from me. Then the dreaded words you never want to hear come floating from Rosalie's so fucking kissable lips.
"Bella. We need to talk." Oh shit…what I do? I start going through my memories of the past week and nothing comes to mind…but women can always find something wrong, can't we? Shit.
"Bella dear, nothing's wrong, we actually have amazing news." At hearing that from Esme, I perk up and tilt my head.
"Yup, have some time to talk Bells?" I look down at Alice who's rocking back on her heels and smile gently.
"For my absolutely gorgeous mates? Always. Just let me tell the guys I'm stepping out." I walk into the garage and whistle to grab everyone's attention. They stop and look at me. "I'm heading out, gonna take my break. Tony?"
"Yeah boss?"
"You're in charge."
"You got it." At Tony's affirmation, I turn to see Joey walking up to me from the car he was working on.
He's looking from me, to the girls, through the garage window and a devilish smirk is on his face. I roll my eyes and grin.
"So~ Bellsy…where you headed, hmm~?" I start backing away.
"None of your damn business Jo. Now get back to work." He pouts and I wink at him before turning completely around and making my way back into the shop.
"Alright, so I'm assuming this talk needs a private setting, yes?" They nod.
"The forest isn't too far, we can speak there Bella." I shake my head at Alice's statement.
"No, there's a coffee shop not too far from here that's always empty around this time. We can go there. That ok?"
"That's fine dear." I smile at Esme and we make our way out to my car.
*#*#*#*
I'm frozen in my seat. My eyes are itching and burning, and are moving from one angel to another at what I've just been told. They're mine. Completely. Forever. Mine.
I stand up slowly and start making my way out the coffee shop.
"Come." They're quick to follow.
I make my way to the side of the building and into the alleyway. Once there, I stand still and wait until I feel the presence of my mates behind me.
In the next second, I have all three of them pushed against the wall. They whimper and their eyes darken.
I have my forehead placed against Esme's and my arms are spread wide, with my hands on the wall on either side of Rosalie's and Alice's heads. I'm breathing heavily, trying to get my demon back in check, because I refuse to fuck my mates in an alley. No, that's just…well, at least…ok, maybe not now. Some other time. Heh. I grin at my thoughts, but stop and keep working on calming my mating urges down.
I'm taking deep breaths and I open my eyes to stare into jet-black pools. I bring my hands from the wall to cup Esme's face and kiss her. I kiss her lips, her cheeks, her nose, her forehead. Basically, everywhere I can place my lips, I do. I'm purring so much that my entire body is vibrating from the force of it.
I wrap my hand behind Rose's neck and bring her forward to kiss her as well and then I do the same to Alice. I move my head to rest on Esme's shoulder and my other two beautiful mates step to the side of me and wrap their arms around me from my sides, before they place their heads on my shoulders as well. I wrap my arms around each of their waists and pull them as close as I can. Esme leans her head to the side and rubs her cheek against my hair.
We're all purring contently and the sounds are echoing around the alleyway. If anyone were to walk by they would think dozens of cats were here.
We stay connected for a few more minutes before breaking apart. My demon is blissed out, but still at the surface.
"Mine. Finally mine. Only mine." Alice, Rose and Esme kiss me gently one more time before the pixie vampire speaks.
"Yes, Bella. And you're ours." All three of my angels growl possessively at that. Then Esme speaks next.
"We love you Bella…so much, my love." My purr strengthens again.
"No more sharing, no more waiting. We're finally together, all of us…God, I love you." The last words of Rose's proclamation were directed to all of us.
We started making our way back to my car. I had an arm around Alice's shoulders, my other was wrapped around Rosalie's waist and Esme was clasping Alice's hand.
Finally… I have my mates. My mates. Fucking finally.
A/N
I won't be switching POV's a lot everybody. Sorry, but I feel I write better for Bella. So...very, very sparsely will you see other POV's. Hope that's ok...
How was the Cullen women's separations? Was it done ok? Is it acceptable?
Next chapter Bella will be speaking about her past to her vampires.
And I have big plans for Jasper bwahaha! And Sammy! And Joey! And the newly-found-out 'Third'! And Emmett! And-and...well, you get my point. Lots of stuff coming in future chapters.
Hope you enjoyed! Me loves you! Bye!
