Chapter 21- Motive

Leah

Being a mother had changed me. Changed me so much that Jacob had imprinted on me. But every now and then I stop and realize that even if I hadn't found Stephanie Rose, I would have ended up with Jake anyway. It was the classic story. Two heartbroken people find each other and they heal together. Stephanie was just an added plus; an added plus that I loved with all of my heart and would be forever grateful for. So you can imagine my horror when Alice saw a vision of Aro, Latisha and Juanita attacking Stephanie and Stephanie alone. What reason could they possibly have for attacking my daughter? What was their motive? As far as I knew she had never hurt a soul or made any big offense against them, so why?

I stopped there, slamming the journal that Emmett had given me as joke shut. The journal had been an engagement gift to Jake and me three days after our announcement. When I asked Emmett how a diary for me to write in was a gift for Jake he told me it helped Jake with three things.

Number one: It lets me get out all my angry and frustrated feelings without damaging the 'family jewels'.

Number two: It allowed Jake to know exactly what I was pissed about, how I felt and why I felt that way.

And finally, Jake's personal favorite, number three: Jake would know about any umm… sexual fantasies I had about him.

I had to admit, it was genius. One mention of the journal while we were in wolf form and Jake got a full show. But there was a secret bonus for me. Jake gave me my fantasy and wow it had been good. This had all taken place about a week ago. Now I sat in the living room, writing and laughing as Rosalie slapped Emmett every time he tried to read my diary.

Light footsteps caught my attention and I glanced up in time to see Edwierd and Bellatard walk in.

"Ah, back from killing Bambi and his mom are we? " I asked in my head. Grimacing at my thoughts, Eddykins shot me a glare and sat down.

"Eddykins, really? Edward asked me with a smirk. God what did Bella see in him? The idiots smile was crooked! As in sideways, on a slant! Then again we didn't refer to her as Bellatard for nothing.

"Sure, why not? It's what Bella calls you," Ha! That ought to wipe that annoyingly sideways smile right off your face! But sadly his grin only became bigger. That is, until Bella cut in.

"I've never called him that in public!"

"Yeah, but the whole damn forest heard you last night!" That got rid of his convoluted smile.

"She's right! Don't you remember?" Emmett winked slyly at me, "Maybe this will jog your memory, Eddykins! Oh god Eddykins, harder!"

Edward was fuming and Bella just looked embarrassed. "We're leaving."

"Oh, but you've only just arrived!" Rosalie said smiling viscously. Clearly, she had enjoyed the show. Edward dashed out of the house, dragging Bella with him, causing her to trip. It was so typical that she would still be a klutz, even as a vampire. Actually, it was quite amusing. After her newborn strength had worn off, she had begun to trip again. It was nowhere near as bad as it had been when she was human, and yet if vampires could pee themselves from laughing to hard like humans, Emmett would have a serious problem. Speaking of problems, May was pregnant and Tempe's power had become known.

Tempe had been phasing since birth, so it was bound to happen soon with both her parents being shape shifters. She had been phasing for three years, about how long Nikki had been phasing for when she gained her abilities. Sadly, in my case sever emotional trauma had delayed my gifts. Gee, thanks again Sam, ya Jackass! Tempe had the power to speed up small things. Like cooking, cleaning and pregnancy… yup. She had accidently sped up May's pregnancy, which already happened fast because of shape shifter genes. Normally she would carry for six months, now it was only three. Brilliant. That would give her just enough time to give birth before the Volturi arrived and it was still cutting it close. A thought occurred to me.

"We need to call a family meeting, like now!" Emmett and Rose both gave me funny looks but went off to get everyone anyway.

It took around three hours to get everyone to the house and ready to listen. Poor May looked like she was about to pop, her stomach was so huge. Across the room Edward chuckled at my thoughts. "Fuck off dickward" I thought, directed it at him. It only made him laugh harder. "I mean it; I'll cut your little Popsicle off and feed it to Sam!" I shrieked in my head. This time he got the message and shut. Good little mind rapist, good. Scowling at my patronizing tone, he turned and struck up a conversation with Renesmee, who was seated in Jared's lap. Just then Rose walked in with Seth, the last to arrive.

God, I hope they agree to this, it could save them.

Okay, so I know it short and not that good, I'm sorry. So what do you think Leah's thought is? Review please!-
