Chapter 21: Birthday and Trouble

Jamie's POV

A few days ago a got the best blowjob of my existence from my wonderful wife. Well maybe it wasn't the best (she has given me much better ones), but it sure felt like it, since I had 3,5 WEEKS to do anything with her sexually encircled. Anyway, today is Bella's and EJ's first birthday. Of course my family will be present, but I also get to meet Jacob's former pack members. People like Seth and his bitch of a sister Leah, Embry, Colin and Brady. These are what is left from the orignal pack. Sam, Quil, Jared and Paul have been long dead. They had decided to grow old and die with their human imprints. I don't blame them. I would have done the same thing. Seth is now in charge of everything pack related. He is now the Alpha, having taken Jacob's position. He has to deal with all the young and immature wolfs, which makes me feel sorry for him. He now is exactly like me. Taking care of the young. Watching after them. Training them. It totally sucks.

All my family is now making the final preparations for the party. All except Jacob, Ness, Bella and EJ who are in La Push visiting and reassuring the people there that no one will hurt them. Our set of twins is currently sleeping so that they are abe to stay up as long as possible. Thanks to Alice, we know that the weather will be on our side so I'm now preaparing the portable barbeque for those of us who eat. The others are fixing the lights and decorations. Well it's actually more like the women command and the men execute. They are totally bossing us around, but we are so wiped that we love every second of it. Two warm hands wrap themselves around me and I immediately recognise who they belonged to. Elena.

"When are our guests arriving?" I asked her.

"In 10 minutes according to Jacob. We shoud wake the kids up."

"Don't worry. I'll go now." I turned in her arms to face her and kissed her.

"Why does he get the easiest job. All he has to do is prepare the grill and throw some steaks on it. Anyone can do that." Felix whined.

"Stop whining Felix. And they want to eat those stakes afterwards, that's why you must not get anywhere near them." Chelsea said.

"Okay, I understand that. But he also gets to kiss his girl. Heidi will you kiss me, my gorgeous fiance?" Everyone gasped at that. Heidi smacked his head.

"I told you not to say anything. This is Bella and EJ's day."

"He finally proposed?" By this time, Elena had gone to her side with obvious interest to see the ring. "Please let me see."

"Ok fine." She showed them the ring and it was the same exact Elena had urged Felix to buy. "Isn't it amazing?"

"I knew it. I was right. I told you she would like it." Elena said looking at Felix.

"That's why I always listen to you little sis." Felix said from on top the roof where Alice told him to put some lights.

"I'm going to wake the twins up. Be right back." With that I ran to the kids' bedroom. They were still sleeping peacefully. Alice had already prepared their outfits so I didn't have to pick them out myself. I walked over to Max's crib first. I picked him up and laid him on my shoulder.

"Hey buddy, wake up. Bella is going to be over soon."

"Bella???" Max sheepishly asked.

"Yeah she is going to be here any minute. Let's get you dressed." Alice had picked a black pair of pants and a white shirt for Max to put set was completed with a small black tie. I helped him with the shirt and the tie. His outfit was identical with mine.

"Can I go to Bella now?" Max asked when he was ready.

"You will have to wait for your sister. Will you help me wake her up?"

"Sure" He jumped up in Lilly's crib. He nudged her and spoke. "Lilly, wake up" The sight of my son trying to wake his big sister up always fascinated me.

"What??? I'm sleeping."

"Come on sweattie, the party is going to start any minute now."

"WHAT??????" She immediately got up and went where her blue little dress was. It also exactly like Elena's dress. Of course it was a little more childish than Elena's but still the similarities were obvious. "You should have waked me up sooner!!!!!!!!! Daddy, could you help me with my dress?"

"That's why I'm here princess." I helped her zip it up and she went to the mirror. I followed, grabbed the brush and brush her hair.

"Thank you daddy. Mommy!!!!!!" Both she and Max went to their mother, who was standing in the door watching us. They jumped in her arms.

"I came to see what took you so long and maybe hep with Lilly's hair, but you have it all under control."

"Yeah, he is the best daddy in the world." I walked over to my angels and wrapped them all in a hug.

"Thank you darling. Now why don't we go downstairs?"

"Yeah!!!!!!!!!" They both squealed and jumped on my shoulders.

"Can you handle them both?" Elena said kissing me. I just nodded. She turned her gaze to our children. "When we go downstairs there are some people we would like you to meet. So don't go to Bella and EJ right away. Ok???"

"Yes mommy." Both said rolling their eyes. They had heard that many times the past few days. Elena turned and walked towards the stairs and we followed.

"Are excited to meet these new people?" I asked them when we were on the stairs.

"Actually we are a little worried, right Max?" He nodded. "What if they don't like us? Or you daddy. You said that they used to be afraid of us." Elena stopped us abruptly and turned to face us.

"Look at me. The pack used to be afraid of the Volturi and some still are. But you all are my family. My kids, my husband, my brothers and sisters. If they treat you or your uncles and aunts bad, tell me and I will take care of it. Ok?" We nodded. "Now let's go" We reached the hall and found Felix, Heidi, Demitri, Jane, Alec and Chelsea there.

"What are you guys doing here? The party is outside." I told them.

"Yeah, but we wanted you to be there for our first encounter. Just in case anything happens." Heidi said.

"You know. Like lose control and attack us...." Felix started.

"......Or the other way around." Jane continued.

"Ok then. Elena lead the way." The doors opened and Elena stepped out with the rest of us on tail. Seth and his pack were talking with the Cullens, Jacob and Nessie. Bella and EJ were in their parents arms and were looking lovingly at Lilly and Max. Elena ran in Seth's open arms. If I wasn't sure of Elena's love I would be very jealous now. I know they are and always have been friends but still.

"Seth!!!!! I've missed you!!!"

"I've missed you too, Elena." We then reached them. The pack, except Seth, tensed when they saw us.

"Seth, everyone let me introduce you to my family. This is Felix, Heidi, Alec, Chelsea, Demitri, and Jane. And the goofs there are my husband Jamie and our children Max and Lilly. Guys you already know who is who so I won't bother you with that." She came to my side when she finished introducing us. Seth stepped forward first.

"Nice to meet you in person, Jamie. I'm glad Jacob didn't hurt you so much on our last encounter." The twins gasped at Seth's last words and glared at Jacob. I shook his extended hand.

"It's good to know that at least one of you isn't afraid of us. Nice to meet you too Seth."

"And you must be Lilly and Max. Bella and EJ haven't stopped talking about you. It's nice to meet you. I'm Seth, Bella and EJ's uncle." They shook his hands. They were quite shy and distant. "Do I smell bad to you?" Seth asked curious as to why they were so distant.

"We just don't like what your sister is thinking." Leah gasped at Lilly's words along with the rest of the pack. I hadn't noticed what Leah was thinking because I knew it would be bad.

"So you can read minds huh? What was she thinking?"Seth asked glaring at her.

"Yes we can, and she called us bastards and our family filthy bloodsuckers." Max said and everyone behind me crouched ready to attack. Soon Emmett, Rosalie joined them. The wolf also got ready to pounce.

"STAND DOWN RIGHT THIS INSTANT!!!!" Both Seht and I yelled. The Volturi, Emmett and Rosalie did. The wolfs though didn't. Then Elena advanced to Leah. She slapped her hard, I even think she broke Leah's jaw.

"CALL MY CHILDREN BASTARDS OR MY FAMILY FILTHY BLOODSUCKERS AGAIN AND YOU WILL WISH YOU WERE NEVER BORN!!!!!!!!!!"Elena yelled when Leah fell back.

"She is right Leah. If you think, my niece and nephew are bastards then the same applies for my children. I know you are a bitch but if you ever insult them again, I will forget that you are Seth's sister and kill you myself." Jacob said pulling Elena back. Leah picked herself up and got out of here.

"Are you okay babies?" Elena asked Lilly, Max and myself.

"We are fine. I personally expected that from Leah." I tolde her as Max and Lilly nodded. Bella and EJ had come to us and were glaring at Leah.

"Daddy can you set us down?" Max asked and I did what he wanted. Bella and EJ grabbed them in a hug to confort them.

"HAPPY BIRTHDAY!!!!!" Lilly and Max yelled. Seth bent down so he was on eye-level with the kids and spoke.

"I'm really sorry for my pack's behaviour. Do you want me to send them away maybe?" He asked looking at all of them. Elena was the one to speak.

"No, just tell them not to attack if they value their lives. It's Bella and EJ's birthday and they should be here. Kids why don't you go play. And EJ, Lilly and Max?"

"Yes???" they said looking at her.

"No phasing!!!!!"Ness and Elena said at the same time. They looked defeated, but nodded.

"You know that we won't hurt anyone, right Seth?" Elena asked.

"I know Elena, I know. But you can't blame them. They grew up to fear the Volturi."

"That's my fault. If I had told you from the begining none of this would have happened." Elena said turning to hide her face in my chest.

"You honestly believe my sister wouldn't have done anything to piss someone off?" She laughed at that and we joined her. She lifted her face and kissed me passionately. When she was satisfied she pulled away.

"She just relaxes that way." Jane said upon seeing Seth's puzzled expession. The rest of the evening passed with a lot of fun, eating and swimming. The wolves gradually relaxed and joined in the fun. I got many congratulations for the steaks as did Esme and Bella for the rest. The twins loved their presents. Most were toys and outfits, or a notebook and things like that. After opening the presents we all decided to try the poo. When we were playing with the kids in the water, my phone started ringing so I got out and picked it up.

"Hello."

"Your Highness, you have to come back!!!!" It was Ginny, the human that lived with us back in Voltera. When the rest heard her voice, they all gathered around me.

"Why, Ginny? What happened."

"The whole castle is BURNED DOWN!!!!!! There is no one here."

There you have it. There is one more chapter of this story and then the sequel, which I remind you will revolve around Bella and Max's life. Another reader has put my story on alert so I guess the story's reputation gradually rises. Thank you all for reading and please review!!!!!
