Two hours later...
"How much longer is this gonna go on for?" Bella whispered to Jasper. "I mean, they've covered every position in the Joy of Sex, I think.
"She's a succubus, it can go on for days," Laurent informed us.
"Days?" we all mouthed.
We all snuck upstairs and let the wolf and the vampire mate. I noticed that Bella firmly grasped her High School Musical comforter and brought it upstairs with her. As soon as Jasper closed the door to their room, he started projecting lust. A few minutes later, aside from the screaming of the two transforming vampires, all we heard were the ecstatic moans of everyone in the throes of passion. I could hear a vibrator going off in Esme's room for her solo ride. Ah, well, guess we're all going to go for a ride along with Jasper's lust and deal with the fuckery of Alice and Maria tomorrow. I can deal with that.
"Get on your knees, Edward," my mate ordered.
Oh, yeah, I can definitely deal with that.
Chapter21: Lilies and Honey
Jasper's POV
Bella and I were in our bedroom kicking back and reading. It had been two days since Paul imprinted on Kate and the two of them had been going at it non-stop on the middle of the living room floor. The fucking lust they were emitting was unbearable.
Just then, the doorbell rang and jolted me into attention. I rushed downstairs flanked by Peter and Armando who smelled like Edward, by the way, and answered the door. A young Asian male vampire and a Latin male vampire stood on the doorstep.
"I am Toshi," the Asian man said. "I was summoned here by my sister, Mika. This is Gio, the man you seek."
The three of us breathed a sigh of relief and invited them inside, closing the door behind them.
Before I could utter a word, there was a blur that ran past me before attaching itself to Gio.
"Oh, Gio, my brother, I thought I would never see you again. Come here Armando, meet your Uncle Gio. Don't mind those two, he's just claiming her," Catalina said, pointing to Paul and Kate who were still going at it non-stop.
I could see her eyes were clouded with venom as Gio pulled her and Armando into an embrace. He was muttering comforting words over and over into her hair. Bella came down the stairs trailed by Mika who was dressed in nothing but Embry's shirt. I watched as a silent conversation passed between brother and sister. Toshi let out a low growl before looking up the stairs, Mika silenced him with one word in Japanese.
Bella smiled as she wrapped her arms around me. I watched and felt the strong emotions of families reunited wash through the room. Bella nudged me slightly before raising her brow as she looked up at me.
"Jasper what's going on in that head of yours?"
I smiled down at her and kissed her lips lightly. "Nothing darlin', just thinking that this is what we are fighting for. We are fighting for family. Nothing more and nothing less, which makes it all the more valuable."
We all walked upstairs and let the reunited families have some privacy. I gazed at my beautiful mate and realized how much she meant to me. To me, she was family, and because of her, I gained a future father-in-law that I respected, and I was about to gain a future mother-in-law as well.
Bella stared back at me with her big, beautiful, crimson eyes. She must have mistook my joy at having a new family for lust because the next thing I knew, her eyes darkened to pitch black and she was glued to me at the lips.
It didn't take me long to hone into her lust. Hey, I'm a horny guy and I'll take what I can get. I started kissing her back with fervor. Bella started grinding her hips into me.
Just as I had ripped her shirt off the door to our room banged open. Fuck, haven't these people ever heard of privacy? The fucking door is closed so that means we're fucking busy.
"Honey I'm home," Peter stated as he swept my mate up into his arms. She let out a squeal before pushing him away.
"Fucker, you've been here all day. Why the hell...you know what? I don't want to know," I said through gritted teeth.
"Damn Pete you're a fucking cockblocker," Emmett yelled from down the hall.
"Yeah he is," Edward said from his and Armando's room.
"Shut it Eddie, he didn't block you at all!" Emmett yelled.
"How would you know Mister Monkey Man?" Edward fired back.
"Hey, there better not be any fucking funny business..." we heard a resounding smack travel throughout the house. "Ow, shit, Cat that was uncalled for."
"Stop being an ass Charlie. Now come and meet my brother Gio."
"Wait is this your older brother?"
"Don't worry, Charlie, he's harmless, besides he'll love you. Perhaps not as much as I do but you two will get along great," Catalina purred out. "If you survive."
"Alright, Pete, what the fuck are you doing in here?"
"Kitten's missed two days of school already because you two have been holed up in your room fucking. It's time to get back to business."
"Hey, that's not our fault! Paul is claiming Kate still. Besides, you've been fucking Char for two days straight."
"I know and my dick hurts, man. I need a break," Pete whimpered.
"Bella, get the hell downstairs and do your schoolwork. Embry, you too!" Charlie hollered from downstairs. "Paul, that's enough claiming son. Your dick's gonna fall off! Don't you try and use your shocking power on me, young lady! This boy has responsibilities that he needs to take care of. Now go upstairs, take a shower, and think about what I just said. Move it!"
Emmett and Rose zipped into our room. "Holy shit, did Dad just tell Kate off?"
"Yep," I nodded all wide-eyed.
"Geez, he isn't scared of anyone," Rose stated in awe.
Bella gathered up her school books in a hurry and opened the door. Rose put a restraining arm on her.
"Let me go, Rose. I don't want Daddy flipping out on me."
"He'll flip out more if you don't put a shirt on Bella," Rose reminded her.
"Oh, yeah." Bella threw a tank top on and thanked Rose before she left.
"Nice tits," Peter called after her. I slammed my fist into his face and when he got back up, Rose punched him in the gut.
"I'm just gonna go downstairs and teach now," Peter grunted in pain.
"Yeah you do that fucker and keep your eyes off my mate."
"I'll keep my eyes to myself if your mate keeps hers to herself. I know she checks me out when I'm not looking. And another..."
Peter didn't get to finish his sentence because he went soaring out the window and I watched as one of the magnolia trees broke under his weight. I looked toward the door expecting to see my mate but she wasn't there. I looked to Rose whose eyes were probably as wide as mine. I could hear Emmett who had jumped out the window after Peter laughing and telling Peter that he should watch what he says from now on.
Edward was standing in the doorway when I turned around. "She's getting better at controlling it. I mean I noticed that the other day how she actually summoned that alligator, in fact, the same one that bit Paul in the ass," Edward said the end of the sentence slightly breathless.
"Dude, get your mind off of my ass Eddie. It's not going to happen," Paul yelled from downstairs.
"Yeah but I can still fantasize about it," Edward said with a smile on his face.
"You know I don't think Kate would like you fantasizing about me."
"Oh, I don't mind, it's just a fantasy and he won't act on it. Besides you do have a great ass Paul," Kate yelled. Which had everyone laughing.
"You were supposed to agree with me Kate."
"And why, pray tell, would I do that?"
"Because you're my mate."
You could hear the resounding smack of all the males hitting their foreheads, including myself. Didn't Paul know that was the wrong thing to say?
"What the hell does my being your mate have do do with Edward joking around with you? It's harmless."
"Figures that I'd get a stubborn mate, who wouldn't side with me," Paul grumbled.
I could hear Emmett mumbling in a voice I didn't recognize. It sounded like it came from Call of Duty or something, "Warning, warning, abandon mission, soldier is down, I repeat soldier is down."
No matter how hard we tried you could hear some chuckles escape.
"Excuse me. Did you think that female mates were some type of puppet who did the bidding of the dominant male? Well, if so, I can tell you that you are in for a rude awakening. In fact let me help you out on awakening your senses and opening your eyes to this day and age."
Next thing we heard was a yelp and Paul groaning in pain before we heard a thud.
"Man down, someone please call the medic," Emmett said.
"Oh, I'll go." Edward said with a chuckle.
"Fuck, I'm sore," Paul moaned.
"That's what she said!" Embry yelled out while trying to contain his laughter.
Oh, but I haven't even touched you yet." Edward said.
"In your fucking dreams, Eddie," Paul said.
"Yeah, I know, but unfortunately I don't dream anymore."
"I'm in a fucking mad house," Charlie groaned out. "Gio welcome to the circus."
"Shit, someone needs to check up on Mom and Phil. They should be waking up soon. And while Mom might take this as another journey, Phil might be a little upset," Bella pointed out.
Just then, we heard the telltale sign of two hearts racing. "Damn it, they're going to wake up at the same time. Bella, stay here!" I ordered.
"Fuck no! That's my mother up there!"
"Bella!" Too late, I was flying out of the window a moment later. I landed with a thud on top of a tree. I quickly jumped down and started running towards the house. I sprinted upstairs to the room that Renee and Phil were changing in, I was shocked as hell at the sight that met my eyes.
Renee was in a protective crouch in front of Bella and yelling, "Don't you even think of laying your hands on my daughter, Phil. You're a newborn vampire. You're not in your right mind. You need to gain control of your emotions first. You love Bella like she was your own. She's your stepdaughter. Now, go to Jasper or Peter. You need to feed immediately. They'll help you."
"What the fuck kind of newborn is she? I thought Charlie and Bells had freakish control, but this shit ain't normal," Peter cried.
"Hello, you must be Jasper Whitlock, Bella's mate. I'm Renee, your future mother-in-law."
"How do you know who I am?" I asked.
"Oh, I don't know. My mind did all sorts of freakish things while I was changing and when I woke up I knew exactly what was happening to me and what was in store for my future. Oh, and thank you for making the decision to change me and Phil before your psychotic wife came to kill us. By the way, instead of filing from divorce from her, just change your last name legally to Whitlock. You married her under Hale, remember that? She'll be married to a man that doesn't exist."
"You're still married?" Bella asked.
"Well, honey, technically he was never married so it doesn't count."
"Oh, okay." Bella shrugged her shoulders.
"I'm sorry, are you seeing visions of the future?" I asked Renee.
"Yes, that and what went on in the past. Who is this Demetri person? He's going to show up on our doorstep in three...two...one...now!"
Right at that moment, the doorbell rang and we all cried, "Oh, shit, the Volturi."
"Don't worry about him, he wants asylum," Renee said, then she took my face between my hands. "Oh, you're so perfect for my Bella," she gushed.
Okay, this is weird. I wasn't sure if I was ready for another future seeing vampire dictating my life. I'm sure Mrs. Dwyer would be different from Alice, but she still is going to be a little difficult to be around.
"Please Jasper, don't compare me to that little psycho. I really don't care what goes on in the future as long as we are still alive and we take care of your sire and her army. I'm telling you now that I would never manipulate you to do what I want you to, because you are already doing that." I raised my brow at that and she laughed. "You love Bella, and are doing the best to your ability to keep her safe, that is all that I ask. Now go and take my husband to feed, we will talk more when you get back."
I turned to leave when she called out from behind me. "Oh, and Jasper, it's Renee, Mrs. Dwyer sounds old, and I'm not old I'm in my sexual prime. Besides, Mrs. Dwyer didn't have a body like this. I feel like I'm in my twenties again."
She smiled as she turned her back to me and faced the mirror. I headed down the stairs behind Peter and Phil. We could all hear Eleazer, Charlie and Mika interrogating Demetri.
Pete and I ran with Phil to take him hunting. We explained to him that he had a choice of feeding from animals or feeding from humans and informed him that if he chose to feed from humans, he would have to feed from a bad guy.
"Oh, I know a couple of New York Yankees that I want to take out," he said.
"Erm, no, by bad guys we mean criminals. You can't eat them just because they play for a certain team."
"Well that plain sucks! What's the point of eating bad guys if we can't eat our enemies."
"Okay, then, animals it is," Peter said.
We found a deer for Phil to feed from and instructed him to latch on at it's artery. "Puh, puh, this tastes disgusting! I need a fucking beer to wash this down."
"If you think this is bad, beer is even worse," I pointed out.
"Well, what's the point of being alive if beer tastes like crap?"
"Yeah, I know the feeling, but that's not even what most miss when they are changed."
"What exactly do most miss after the change?"
Peter and I looked at each other and both responded at the same time, "Sleep."
"You wouldn't believe how many miss being able to dream."
"Well, I think I can handle the no sleeping as long as you've got the sports channels. I will admit that I'll miss beer with my burgers."
"Um...Phil you can't have burgers either. I mean you can but you'll be pissed off when you have to bring it back up later."
"What the hell? No burgers either? Well, this just fucking sucks. Is there anything we can have from when we were human? Please tell me vampires still have sex? If not, fucking kill me now because I don't think I could last without sex. My wife is in her sexual prime."
Peter chuckled, "Trust me Phil if we couldn't have sex, vampires would have not survived this long cause I'm telling you now that a lot of us would have killed ourselves. Yes, we can definitely have sex, and good hard sex, too. Oh, and we can still indulge in drinking hard liquor, there's nothing like a good whiskey. You can smoke, too, just be careful with the lighter, you don't want to accidently set yourself on fire."
"Good, hard sex, eh? Hey, um, do one of you have a camcorder? I want to film the first time that I get it on with Renee, vampire style."
"Um, you do realize that Bella lives in the same house, don't you?" Peter asked.
"Yeah, so? She knows that we have sex. She's a big girl. Now which asshole in the house is her boyfriend. I'm gonna interrogate him and rough him up a bit. I want to start taking a more fatherly role in her life," Phil asked as we approached the house.
Peter and I both looked at each other. I didn't feel like getting roughed up by a newborn, they were strong, especially when they were freshly fed. "That would be um..." Pete looked through the window and grinned. "The vampire with the copper colored hair."
"Ooh, he looks fresh, too. I'm not surprised that Bella's with him, though. She likes those faggy looking dudes."
Pete and I both had to chuckle as we walked into the house. Bella was sitting with Edward getting some help on her math. It was just too perfect.
"Hello, I'm Mr. Dwyer, Bella's stepfather. What's your name?" Phil asked Edward.
"I'm Edward."
"Well, Edwin, I want to ask you a few questions."
"It's Edward, sir."
"Okay, Edgar."
"Phil what are you doing?" Bella asked with a brow raised.
"Not now Bella, I'm trying to be a good step-father."
"So you're the little asswipe that's seeing Bella. Well Evan I've got news for you that if you fuck up they won't be able to find the body parts. In fact, you little fuck, you probably already talked her out of her pants."
Phil picked Edward up by his shirt with one hand you could hear the telltale signs of his shirt starting to rip. Charlie was standing by trying to talk but couldn't get words pass his shock.
"Phil!" Renee called his name.
"Not now, Renee," Phil growled out. "I've decided to take a greater parental role in Bella's life."
Edward struggled against Phil's grasp. "Please sir, I, um, think there has been a mistake."
"Oh and what mistake is that?"
"I'm gay and, um, Bella and I are not together."
Phil looked over Edward's shoulder at Bella who nodded her head confirming Edward's words. Aw shit, I looked at Peter and he looked at me. Fuck! I looked over to Charlie who had apparently snapped out of his shock and was glaring at Peter and me.
"Who the fuck would tell you that my mate was Bella's boyfriend?" Armando asked as he moved into the room. From the looks of things it looked like he just gotten out of the shower. "You're hot, by the way, you remind me of a minor league baseball player down in Jacksonville named Phil Dwyer."
Bella growled, "I would say that it was dumbass number one and dumbass number two. Oh, and Armando, that is Phil Dwyer the minor league baseball player."
Armando's eyes widened and he straightened himself out. His eyes were smoldering as he eyed the sight of Phil with lust in his eyes. Meanwhile, Bella was giving me her evil bitch look.
Well, fuck, I don't think I will be getting any for awhile. I watched Phil set Edward back on his feet and apologized.
"So if he's not your boyfriend who is?"
"Oh that would be Jasper, dumbass number one," Bella said through gritted teeth. Yeah I was definitely not getting any ass tonight.
A newborn Phil approached us and grabbed Pete's and my necks in choke-holds with each of his hands. Just as he started squeezing, Bella smirked, and the three of us were levitated off of the floor.
Phil released his hold on us. "Um, what's going on?" he asked fearfully.
"That would be your stepdaughter becoming angry. This is pretty mild, usually we fly out of the house," Pete said. "Um, Bella, you can let us down now."
She completely ignored us and went back to her math. In fact, everyone went back to doing whatever they were doing. Eleazar, Charlie, and Mika went back to hearing Demetri's story. I figured that since I was stuck up here, I might as well listen in.
"Please, Eleazar, I am asking for your assistance in locating Carlisle Cullen. I mean no harm and I've been wandering the states alone as a nomad for months now. The Volturi have finally released me because they've acquired a new tracker. I wasn't exactly sure how to approach him so I finally resolved to seek you out and was able to track you to here. I was hoping..."
Demetri paused, I looked down to see my mate leaning into his neck and inhaling. She looked up at him with a smile. "You smell so nice," she said.
"Thank you, sweetheart, I've been told I smell like lilacs and honey."
Rose approached Demetri as well and took in his scent, "Mmm...you do smell nice."
An angry Emmett tried to snatch him away, but he found himself levitated like Pete, Phil, and me.
"Hang on, were you following me and my mate?" Victoria asked Demetri. "I remember your scent." She sniffed him. "Oh, you do smell nice. All men should smell like you."
"Yes, I was. I heard mention of the name Cullen so I followed you, then I caught sight of this man here and followed him to Mexico. I have no idea what he was doing there, but he carried a bit of Carlisle Cullen's scent."
"Um, I was tracking Riley and Victoria," Edward said.
"But they never left the State of Washington," Demetri pointed out.
"Um, my tracking senses aren't as developed as yours."
"That's pretty clear."
"Remember that you were also led astray by that new vampire that Maria acquired."
"Alright, let's get back to business here," Charlie said. "Demetri here has told nothing but the truth since he's arrived. Bella, Rose, Victoria, get your noses away from the poor guy. Give him a break. And Bella, let the four guys down."
"Fine!" Bella said, taking one last whiff of Demetri, then letting us down abruptly. We all landed with a thump on the floor.
Phil was looking at Bella in shock, his emotions were running rapid flicking to one after the next but they stayed between fear and awe. Armando immediately went to assist Edward and Phil both.
"You're right, Armando. Bella's step-father is gorgeous. Why did I ever go for Bella?"
Bella stalked up to Edward and slapped him across the face.
"I take it I should stay on your good side?" He asked Bella as he eyed her curiously.
"I assure you that if you do stay on my good side, you won't find yourself head first in the swamp," Bella said as she smirked at him.
"Yeah being dumped in the swamp is a pain in the ass. What the hell do you mean stay on her good side. I didn't know she had one, well I guess she did once upon a time before Eddie ruined her," Emmett said right before he went soaring out the window and we all heard the splash indicating that he had landed in the swamp.
Phil's eyes had followed him, before they snapped back onto Bella's. She gave him an innocent look before shrugging. He looked back to the window that Emmett just vacated and gulped.
"Damn it Bella! Why the hell do I even replace the window if you insist on breaking them every chance you get?" Peter snapped at her as he took in the shattered window.
Bella looked down at her feet, feeling chastised by Peter's words which she should be. In the past few weeks she has shown that she has no problem controlling her power, and just a few moments before she showed that she didn't have to toss us about she could just levitate us. But I keep forgetting that she is indeed still a newborn and just because she has freaky control over her bloodlust like her father does, it doesn't mean she can always control her emotions.
We all knew that she was quick to temper, but it's a lot harder to help someone control their emotions when they won't let you in. I use to be able to read her like an open book but now she has learned to block me out. At first, I'll admit it hurt to not be able to feel my mate, but as Armando and Peter pointed out, she needed to be able to calm herself down because there might be a time when I can't calm her.
"Thanks for the dip Bella," Emmett grumbled out as he climbed back into the house through the broken window.
"Thanks for provoking her," Peter sarcastically replied.
"No problem, just doing my job as a brother," Emmett said with a smile on his face. "You know I don't know if the damn alligator has a crush on me but I swear I meet the same one every time. Perhaps he's still a little pissed about the tail. I bet he wants revenge. Better yet a taste of Paul's ass again," Emmett laughed, but Paul however didn't find it funny, he gave a shudder and growl before phasing and sending Emmett right back out the window taking some of the window sill with them this time.
"Fuck! It's like living with a bunch of five year olds," Peter yelled.
"Don't worry, Peter, they will fix it along with the fence. Um, someone is going to have to set Paul's arm. He's about to get a break in three...two...one," Renee predicted.
Just then we heard a yelp, before we heard Paul cussing.
"Motherfucker, that hurt. It feels like my fucking arm is on fire. Fuck I've never had a break like this before, son of a bitch!" Paul was still going on as he walked in the house naked as the day he was born. You could see his bone trying to poke through his skin.
"Dude I'm sorrym" Emmett said as he came in behind him.
"Don't worry about it Em, I'm the one who forgot that I'm not completely indestructible, that I can still break shit."
Edward moved over to him while Bella rushed to get the medical bag with a look of worry on her face. She came back in with the bag, a bottle of water, and a bottle of prescription pain relievers. Paul was giving Edward a wary look.
"No funny business Edward," Paul gritted out through the pain.
I decided to help him out and started to ease the pain for him. Edward gave him a crooked smile and a once over, smirking when he looked back into Paul's horrified face.
"Why the hell am I always getting looked at like you want to take my virgin ass?" Paul asked.
"Because you are the only dumb wolf here that's always getting injured," Embry said as he crossed his arms. Paul grumbled under his breath. "Fucker loses his virginity and he decides to become all cocky and shit. He's lucky I'm injured."
"No, Paul, you're lucky you're injured," Embry said with a raised brow.
I was so into their banter and watching Paul react to Edward that I forgot about everyone around me. That is, until I looked over at Phil who seemed to have just snapped out of shock. He rushed to my side.
"What the fuck was that? I mean did you see him? He just turned into a big fucking wolf?" Phil said as he pointed at Paul.
"Well what do you know the man is a fucking genius," Paul said sarcastically.
Armando volunteered, a little too willingly, to explain to a freaked out Phil about Embry and Paul being shapeshifters.
"Well, I feel better now," Paul commented watching Armando and Phil. "My ass isn't the only one in danger of being violated."
We finally all settled in to speak to Demetri, the man truly wanted a new life. We explained the situation that we were in with Alice and Maria.
"Consider me a part of your group. We'll tear them apart. I can call Heidi and Santiago, they were just released from their contracts too, and they have a score to settle with Maria."
"Why? What happened?" I asked.
"Do you know Santiago's history, Major?"
"No, I know that he was the strong arm for the Volturi, that's about it."
"Santiago was created by Maria, Major—long before you were. She was his second in command because of his strength. Aro had sent Heidi and Jane over to check up on Maria. Heidi and Santiago discovered that they were mates, he tried to leave. Angered by this, Maria found Heidi alone one day and had her brutally gang-raped by some newborns in an effort to force Santiago to stay. It was then that Santiago took Heidi and they ran to the Volturi. I can tell you this much, the Volturi may be cruel, but they never rape or torture women. Besides, these days, the Volturi have been much more democratic in their rule. Marcus has found a companion to keep him happy and because of this, he has taken a much bigger role in ruling—effectively overpowering Aro. Caius usually backs him up, and as a result, even Aro has made a more concerted effort in becoming a more fair leader."
"Fuck, I had no idea that Santiago was created by Maria. And poor Heidi."
"Yes, well, Maria knows that she's on the hit list of the Volturi, but she's managed to stay one step ahead of them with her Deadly Four."
"Call them," I said. "Get them over here now. Their lives are in danger because she is regrouping and she'll go after anyone and everyone that she perceives as a threat."
"They're in Cuba," Toshi informed us.
"How did..."
"Gift," he said.
"And a gift that will work perfectly in conjunction with Demetri's," I chuckled.
"Before I call them, I have a question for you. What happened to Carlisle Cullen?"
"I offed him. He was a liability." Esme shrugged her shoulders and went back to sewing the curtains that she was working on for Charlotte.
"But wasn't he your mate?" Demetri asked incredulously.
"Obviously not if I felt freedom from ripping his skull off. It truly was a refreshing feeling."
"You people are deadly," Demetri mumbled, then turned horrified at Rose who was hugging him tightly.
"Rose? What are you doing?" Emmett asked.
"He smells better than any perfume I own, I'm just trying to get his scent on me," she stated as if it were a perfectly normal thing to do.
"And very odd," Demetri added after hearing that.
Bella rushed over as did Mika and they both were leaning in to smell him.
"I never thought honey could smell so mouthwatering," Bella purred, causing a growl to erupt from me.
Mika nodded her head as they both snuggled against Demetri, literally pushing Rose out of the way.
"He smells so much better than Edward. I mean if I didn't think Jasper would go all Major on me I would lick him just to see if he's just as sweet as he smells," Bella sighed.
What the fuck? I looked at Peter who was barely keeping his laughter in check. Charlie was glaring at Demetri and Edward looked a little wounded, but I guess it didn't help that his mate was leaning forward to get a whiff. If you asked me he smells like a fucking pansy. I saw Edward nod from the corner of my eye.
Embry let a growl out. "Okay that's enough of hugging up flower guy, girls," he said.
Before he could say anything else Bella had him flipped upside down. "Shut up, Embry. You and Jasper are seriously insecure if you think Mika and I would honestly let some other guy come and whisk us away just because he smells good." Bella huffed as she moved away from Demetri. She and Mika both walked outside cursing under their breaths. Both of them threatening to not have sex with us.
Demetri looked at me a little shocked about being sniffed. "Your mate is very powerful, Major. In all my years, I've never came across a vampire that was telekenetic."
"Yeah, well, Bella is a temperamental newborn who abuses her ability. I wonder if they have anger management for vampires?" Emmett said before he started saying shit in a Dr. Phil tone, "Yes and how does it make you feel that you bottle your emotions up and release them onto innocent bystanders..." Before he could add more, we heard a metallic screech before he yelled out clutching his hand to his chest or where his hand should have been. His hand was floating in the air just out of his reach and Bella was standing in the doorway with a smirk.
"You want to repeat that Emmett about me being temperamental?"
Rose looked at Bella before looking at Emmett. At first I thought she was going to be pissed and rush Bella but she started to laugh. "Serves your ass right. Damn, Bella, where were you when we needed to keep him in line before?"
Demetri looked at the floating hand, then at Emmett's horrified face before looking at me. "You sure that she's a newborn?"
"Definitely," I groaned. I needed to sit down and have a long talk with Bella because she was an emotional time bomb ready to explode. Frankly, I couldn't blame her. This was all too much for her.
Charlie seemed to have noticed and ushered Bella upstairs. I saw Renee following. Phil and I tried to follow, but were stopped by Catalina. "Let her parents deal with this. Bella is still a little girl, she's only eighteen years old not a hundred year old vampire that looks eighteen. She needs her Mami and Papi right now. You must remember her real age and how frightened she must be. The same holds true for Paul and Embry. Edward, you and Armando will both tone down your reaction to Paul. He's still a little boy."
"I'm not a little boy!" Paul protested.
"You are! Don't you talk back to me! You are still a teenage school boy in need of a Mami and you will behave yourself and you will listen! Is that understood?"
"Yes, Catalina," Paul said obediently.
"Embry get back to your schoolwork. Paul, as soon as your arm is set, I want you upstairs taking a nap. It's time I take a greater role in both your lives and Bella's," Catalina stated with love and determination. I honed into Paul and Embry's emotions and they were filled with awe and appreciation and they were starting to bond with Catalina. It was clear that these two boys were experiencing the unconditional love of a mother for the first time.
I sent Catalina a ton of gratitude to which she nodded in appreciation. I turned my attention back to the room, time to get down to business. "Now, how are we going to get Heidi and Santiago over here?"
"Major," Demetri said.
"Yes?"
"We are living in the twenty-first century, you know. They have cell phones. I'll phone them now. If they are in Cuba, it shouldn't take them long to arrive here."
"Sounds good. Have them fly into the airport in Biloxi, Mississippi. We'll pick them up from there along with Embry. I don't want to take any risks with Alice's visions."
"Yes, Major," he replied immediately. Having Demetri here would definitely be an asset, he had years of military training and was a premier tracker. This was an unexpected good thing and I couldn't help but think that things were finally looking up for us. Now all we had to was get my mate's emotions under control because at this point, they made us very vulnerable.
So what did you think of Toshi and Gio? How about Renee and Phil, not to mention Renee's power? How about Demetri showing up looking for Carlisle and getting introduce to the madhouse? How about how all the girls falling for Demetri scent? Did you like Catalina taking charge toward the end? Heidi and Santiago will be entering the picture soon. Let me know your thoughts.
