Chapter 20- Requiem on Water: Imperial Mammoth

2Months Later

Embry's P.O.V.

I gave Kristen a kiss and she smiled in the kiss. She had on a black top with loose sleeves down her arms, a V-neckline, a ribbon that tied around at her ribs, so her baby bump was prominent, maternity skinny jeans, and black high-heeled boots. Her hair was straightened, it went down to her ribs, and she had on white eye shadow and black eyeliner, her lips were a glossy red... and, now, so are mine. I wiped my lips of her gloss and kissed her blush and foundation covered cheek.

"Good luck, Kristy," I whispered in her ear.

"I'll be fine," she smiled, "now, go sit down."

I kissed the tip of her nose and went back to my seat. I sat next to Anna and Paul and watched as the school principle got on the stage.

"Those were all great performances," he grinned, "but now our judges have to choose a winner of this year's Talent Show. So, to crave your indulgence, we have a celebrity performance." The crowed cheered, "Yes, this performer has gone on tour with, front woman, Amy Lee of Evanescence and is also a student here. Give it up for Kristen Young, everybody!"

Everybody cheered and Paul, Anna, and I shouted as Kristen walked on stage and waved to the crowd.

"Thank you, everybody," she smiled, "I'm going to sing one of my personal favorites of Evanescence. This song reminds me of all the hardships that people, sometimes, have to face. This song makes me think of someone in particular whenever I heard or sing... or play it." She pointed at Anna, "This one's for you, A..."

She walked over to the piano and I saw that she had a whole band up there, even the strings. Everything was silent and she started playing.

I've been believing in something so distant

As if I was human

And I've been denying this feeling of hopelessness

In me, in me

All the promises I made

Just to let you down

You believed in me, but I'm broken

I have nothing left

And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time

And now, I'm lost in paradise

As much as I'd like the past not to exist

It still does

And as much as I'd like to feel like I belong here

I'm just as scared as you

I have nothing left

And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time

And now, I'm lost in paradise

Run away, run away

One day we won't feel this pain anymore

Take it all away

Shadows of you

'Cause they won't let me go

'Til I have nothing left

And all I feel is this cruel wanting

We've been falling for all this time

And now, I'm lost in paradise

Alone, and lost in paradise

Everybody cheered and she stood up and took a bow. After the talent show was over, we all took everything everything out of our lockers and got on the bus. We all sat in the two back seats, I sat with my back against the window, Kristen sat on the outside, Paul sat on the outside, and Anna was the same way as me. Quil occupied the seat in front of us and Jake occupied the seat in front of Anna and Paul. Seth sat with Brady in front of Jake.

"I can't believe we're gonna be Seniors, in the fall!" Smiled Anna.

"I know," exclaimed Kristen, "Do y'all know what you wanna do, after high school?"

"I think I wanna be a photographer, if not that, then a photography or art teacher." Responded Anna.

"I wanna open a garage," spoke Jake.

"I wanna open up a club," grinned Quil, "or a chain of clubs!"

We all rolled our eyes at him and Paul spoke, "Well... I'd like to be a doctor, or a RN that specializes in Pediatrics."

"Really?" Smiled Anna, "I think you'd be great... What about you Embry?"

"Um... I think I want to be an Engineer or teach Engineering."

Kristen leaned back so her back was flush against my chest, "I think you'd be great at either one..."

I kissed her lips, once, and put my hands on her stomach, "I'm sure we all know what you wanna be."

"I actually don't want to be a singer," we all stared at her, "I've already accomplished that... I might make more music in the future, but I think I'd much rather enjoy teaching it. Either that or opening my own bakery..."

I rest my chin in the crook of her neck, "You never cease to amaze me, Kristy."

She got off at my stop with me and, as soon as we were in my room, she pinned me against my door. Pregnancy hormones... I smiled as she kissed and nipped down my neck. She stuck her hands under my shirt and clawed down my stomach as she nipped the scar that was left from her mark. I bit my bottom lip and my eyes closed as the pleasure shot through my body and made me hard. She licked the scar and grasped the bulge in my jeans, making me groan. She took my shirt off and tossed it somewhere as she kissed her way down my body. She pulled my jeans and briefs down to my ankles and she started teasing me by kissing and nipping the V of my hips. I groaned and pulled her up by her arms, I turned her around and started kissing her neck. She moaned and I untied the ribbon on her shirt before pulling it over her head. She kicked off her boots and I kicked my shoes and the remainder of my clothes away from me. I undid her bra and she tossed it to the floor before pushing her underwear, pants, and socks off her body.

It's times like this when I'm grateful that Anna's moved in with Paul. I pulled her flush against my chest and caressed her stomach with my left hand as my right middle finger pressed against her clit. She moaned and leaned her head back against my chest. I assaulted her neck with open mouthed nips and kisses. She about collapsed from the pleasure, so I lead her over to my bed. She lay on her left side and took her right leg and straightened it against the length of my body as she bent her left leg. I entered her, slowly, and we both groaned as I filled her all the way. I held onto her leg with my left hand and rest my right on her stomach. Can't do missionary with her baby bump... I moved slowly, tenderly, but forcefully at the same time.

I have no idea how long we were at it, but all I know is that I love how Kristen looks when she hits that breaking point. The way her skin flushes, the way her brow furrows, like she's in pain or concentrating, and how she moans with intense pleasure right after. I picked up the washcloth and washed Kristen's back as we sat in my tub.

"We should, really, start thinking about names," I spoke.

"All we know is that one's a girl," she responded, "we don't even know if the other's a boy or girl."

"And we won't know until they're born... We should plan ahead."

"Girl names, first, then?"

"Yeah... Hmm... I like MaryAnn." She gave me a look, "What's with the face?"

"You are so old fashion, sometimes. Try something more... modern."

"Fine, how 'bout... Elena?"

"Hmm... I like it, but I'm not sure."

"What do you think, then?"

"Hmm... Raven?"

"Raven?"

"Well, she's more than likely going to have dark hair."

"True... but I like how your name is a flower. We should name her after a flower, 'cause I'm sure she'll be beautiful like her mommy."

"What flower? Jasmine? Rose?"

"I was thinking more along the lines of... Violet."

"Hmm..." She leaned back against my chest, "I like it..."

"Middle name?"

"I've already decided..."

"Oh?"

"Adrienne... Violet Adrienne Call."

"It's perfect... but what if the other's a girl, too?"

"Elena Raven Call?"

"I like it... got any boy names in mind?"

"I definitely want your name to be in there, somewhere."

"I don't want my kid to be named after me... middle name is okay."

"Alright... Lance?"

"Now, who's being old fashioned?" I splashed her and she giggled.

"Okay, okay! Krishna?"

"Not feelin' it... Joel?"

"Nah... I got it!"

"What?"

"Parker... Parker Embry Call."

"I love it..."

I gave her a kiss and we finished our bath. After I had the towel wrapped around my waist, I helped dry her off and gave her her robe off the back of the door. Yeah... Kristen's sort of moved in with me, too. Mom has moved in with her boyfriend, in Forks, so, why not? We've been working on turning Mom's old room into our room and my and Anna's old room into nurseries for the little ones. Our little Elena, or Parker, will have my room, since my room had wood walls. Anna's room for Violet... purple.

1 Month Later

Paul's P.O.V.

I changed Dakota's diaper and laid him back down in his, technically Sophia's, crib. I walked back out of his room and heard a crash in the bathroom. I ran to the bathroom and saw Anna on the floor, her jeans wet. She had her left hand on her stomach and nodded at me. I grabbed my phone and got a hold of Jared, so he could watch Dakota. He showed up two minutes later and I grabbed Anna's bag for this day, then helped her up. I threw her bag in the backseat and helped her get in the car as she breathed heavily. We got to the hospital in record time and they got her set up in a family birthing room. I brought in her bag and sat it on the couch as I sat in the rocking chair. They said that she was only 4 centimeters dilated and that they would be back in a little bit, to check, again. Anna had me call Kristen and Embry; she wanted Kristen to be there when she had Sophia. An hour later, Embry and Kristen showed up, but Anna was asleep.

"What took you two so long?" I asked as I stood up.

Embry took my hand and shook it, once, "Sorry, man... we were getting pictures taken, up in Port Angeles."

"Pictures for what?" I looked over and saw that Anna was up, "Why were you getting pictures taken?" She asked.

Kristen moved Anna's bangs out of her eyes, "We were getting pictures taken so we could put them in the twins' album, hang them up in the house, and give them to our friends and family."

Anna looked at me, "We should've done that..." She looked back at Kristen, "is that really what you wore?"

"No..." She shook her head and unzipped her jacket to reveal a white cloth, like gauze, wrapped around her chest; she zipped up her jacket.

"What did you wear, Embry?" Asked Anna.

"I had my shirt off the whole time," Embry shrugged.

Anna rolled her eyes, "Of course, you did..."

Anna screamed and squeezed Kristen's hand, "Anna, are you okay?" She asked, not fazed Anna's death grip 'cause of her wolf strength, even when she's pregnant.

Anna whimpered and nodded, "Contraction..."

A Few Hours Later

"Come on, Annabelle," smiled Dr. Fang, "You got this..."

Annabelle screamed, "Oh, God, it hurts!"

She squeezed my hand tighter and I kept reassuring her, "Keep goin', Babe... deep breaths. In and out, in and out..."

"Paul!" She glared at me, "Shut the fuck up! When this over, I'm gonna fucking castrate you!"

Kristen snickered as Anna squeezed her hand as well, "I highly doubt that, even with super healing, you'll be able to get your balls back." I glared at her and she started cracking up.

Anna screamed and squeezed our hands tighter, "Oh, my, fuck!"

"She's crowning," called Dr. Fang, "here she comes!"

We all smiled as we heard little Sophia's, tiny, cry. I went over and cut the umbilical cord, then they wrapped her up, gave her to me, and I took her over to Anna. Kristen was mopping Anna's forehead of the sweat and Anna smiled when she saw our little Sophia. I put her in Anna's arms and she looked up at her mommy.

"Hey, baby..." She smiled, Sophia smiled back, "Yeah... I'm your mommy, that's your aunt, Kristen..."

"Hey..." Smiled Kristen.

"And that's your daddy..." Finished Anna.

"You are so beautiful," I leaned in towards her, "just like your mommy."

Anna and I looked at each other and kissed, "She is beautiful," smiled Anna.

"We have to clean her up," spoke a nurse, "and you still need to deliver the placenta."

Embry's P.O.V.

Eventually, we were brought back into Anna's room. I went over to Kristen and kissed her as I held her waist. She smiled and rest her head on my shoulder as we looked at Sophia, in Annabelle's arms. She had light brownish-blonde hair and she had Anna's skin tone. She was a cutie... Sophia was passed around to everybody, but Brady held her the longest. Uh, oh... I know that look. Kristen, Paul, and I exchanged a knowing look, and Sam noticed it, too. Brady imprinted on Sophia...

1 Month Later

I woke up in the middle of the night and caught the smell of blood. I looked over at Kristen and pulled the covers back, quickly... there was blood on her inner thighs, nightgown, and sheet. I woke her up and grabbed a bag, stuffing it with clothes. I tried helping her up and she gasped as she held her stomach.

"Embry, it hurts..." She cried.

"Come on, Kristy," I urged, "we have to get you to the hospital!"

When we got there, they took Kristen and made me stay in the waiting room. I don't know how long I was waiting, but I knew it was hours before Carlisle came out. I stood up and went up to him, praying for good news.

"Is she okay?" I asked.

"She's fine, Embry," he answered me, "we had to do an emergency C-section, but she's fine."

"The twins?"

"Perfectly, fine..." He smiled and I let out a gust of air, "It's a good thing you brought her here, when you did. Any longer and you would've lost the babies. I wonder if they held on so long because of your wolf gene."

"I don't care how, I'm just relieved that they did make it." He smiled, warmly, "When can I see Kristen?"

"Right now... follow me." He took me down a series of hallways until he stopped, "This is her room... Embry, she's going to be in major pain, when she wakes up. A C-section is a very painful thing to recover from. Just... be gentle with her."

"I will... thank you, Carlisle."

"You're welcome... the twins are in the Nic-U, when you're ready to see them."

I nodded and he let me. I opened the door and saw Kristen on a hospital bed, sleeping, as a nurse tended to her IVs. I walked in and stood on Kristen's left as the red headed nurse continued her work. I ran the back of my right hand over her pale cheek as I sighed... her face lost its glow after the C-section.

"She's strong," spoke the nurse. I looked up at her, "they almost lost her... but she fought it. She wouldn't let that light consume her... you her husband?"

"No..." I shook my head, "just the boyfriend-slash-baby daddy... but, maybe, someday, I will be."

"Oh, there's no maybe about it, sir. I can see how you look at her, like she's the whole universe. I saw it in her eyes, too."

"How?"

"When she was fighting, she told me, 'Tell Embry that I love him to the end of this world and back, if I don't make it'. I'm guessing you're Embry?"

"Yeah..." I looked down at her sleeping form, "I most certainly am..."

Three days and Kristen still hasn't opened her eyes. I won't leave her, and everyone stops by to check on her. The nurse came in, the red headed one, Jena.

"Mr. Call," she started, "you really need to name the children, now."

I sighed deeply, "I suppose we better... I just wanted Kristen and I to see them for the first time, together."

"I'm sorry..."

I brought my lips to Kristen's forehead, "I'll be back, Baby." I closed my eyes and kissed her forehead, my long hair brushing her cheeks and neck. I pulled away and caressed her cheek before turning back to Jena, "Let's go... are you okay?"

She wiped a tear away, "I've never seen a teenager look so... in love." She sniffled, "You must really love her..."

I looked back at Kristen, "I do... and I always will. She's my past, present, and future... she's everything to me."

"That's beautiful... Oh, Gracious! We really must go!"

"Alright..."

Jena took me to the Nic-U and lead me into the nursery. She took me over to a bassinet with two babies inside, swaddled in white blankets. One had tan skin and the other had a paler skin tone, like Kristen.

"So," started Jena, "you knew you were having a girl, correct?"

"Yep," I nodded. "And what were you going to name her?"

"Violet Adrienne Call..."

"How are you planning to spell Adrienne?"

"A-D-R-I-E-N-N-E"

"That's neat spelling... I'm used to it being spelled A-D-R-I-A-N."

"Yeah... her mother chose it."

"Who chose her first name?"

"I did..." I smiled and ran a finger down Violet's cheek. I looked over at the the other baby, "Boy or girl?"

"What were you going to name 'em, if it was a girl?"

"Elena Raven Call... is it a girl?"

"What were you going to name the boy?"

"Parker Embry Call..."

She smiled, picked up our unnamed child, and set 'em in my arms, "Say 'hello' to your son... say 'hello' to Parker, Mr. Call.
