A/N: Okay, so of course, being the one who always ends up breaking something, I accidentally broke my laptop -_-
I have to wait to get it fixed, so for now I will be updating on the office computer. It's a bit slower, but...bleh whatever, lol
It's getting down to the boiling point. There will probably be maybe...three or four more chapters left. THERE WILL BE A PART THREE! Yay!
Anyways, PLEASE REVIEW! I'll try to update in the next two days ;)
Jacob POV
Like many of my dreams these days, I was back in Forks, parading around the woods. There was something that stood out from the rotting wood, green moss and dark green foliage that caught my eye. Looking closely enough, I realized it was my Nessie, glowing in a sheer white gown. Her hair was piled on top of her head, a few curls hanging around her face. She looked as if she were waiting for me. I didn't hesitate. As I got closer, I saw Arabell…
And in her lap was our daughter…
Delilah.
She looked just like her mother…though her eyes were green…
"Come, Kieran…" I heard Renesmee say.
Who was Kieran?
My question was soon answered when I saw a little toddler walk towards me from behind Renesmee.
My son.
He looked just like me…but he had Renesmee's eyes…those deep, chocolate brown eyes.
He looked up at me and started walking towards me…slowly…one step at a time.
I didn't know how he would react to me, because I was in my wolf form, but he didn't seem scared or even nervous, just calm.
He reached his hand up to touch my nose…and it was almost as if an electric current ran through my body.
I immediately woke up, out of breath and speechless.
I looked over at the clock. It was three o'clock. I had taken a two hour long nap. It was a great nap, too, considering the dream I had.
The name Kieran had struck me as one of the strongest points in the dream, particularly. The dream itself was so vivid, it kept replaying in my mind as I took a shower and got dressed. There was one thing that tore me away from my thoughts.
Down the hall…I could hear an ear-splitting scream from Renesmee.
Nessie POV
I could feel the pain tearing through my body.
I couldn't resist screaming. I tried to stifle it as much as I could, but the pain wouldn't go away. I held onto the kitchen countertop, but soon bent down to my knees, bending over. Arabell was playing with her toys on the floor when she ran over to me, holding my hand and trying to soothe me.
I heard Jacob's heavy footsteps run through the hallway. He slid to a stop in front of me and bent down. He seemed afraid to touch me, as if I were too fragile to hold.
"Ness, tell me what I can do." He blurted out.
The pain started to subside. I was worried because neither Kayden nor Carlisle were here to help me, and I knew that this was going to happen in a matter of hours. Sara and Bray were soon by my side as well.
"Call Kayden…now."
Edward POV
This was it. The last of these newborns were going to be here in a matter of hours.
I sat silently by a window in what was supposed to be the lounge room, but looked more like a mountain lion had a little too much fun tearing the place up. A couple of newborns had planned a sneak attack one night a couple of weeks ago while we were at the house, planning out our next move. We were sure that one of the newborns had the ability to block certain scents, because we didn't notice they were even here until they crashed through the upstairs windows. We finished them easily, though.
My thoughts were interrupted when Alice finally spoke for the first time that day.
"Sixty-five of them…"
She was around the corner in the dining room, talking to Benjamin. She had just predicted the amount.
Many soon came up and sat down to talk with Alice, now planning out who would be where and their tactics to use.
I just stayed where I was. I didn't need to plan out anything. The only thing that mattered to me was that every single newborn that came my way was shredded to pieces…every single limb, torn and thrown into the blazing fire, billowing with purple fumes and the smell of smoke thick in the air.
I didn't want to think about this anymore. I didn't want to be a murderer. I only felt more like a monster, though I reminded myself that there was an important reason why I was doing this…to protect my family.
So I did my best to brush it off my shoulders like it was no big deal and pretend like I had only just imagined it.
"Do you know how close they are?" Amun from the Egyptian coven said.
"How much time do we have?" Siobhan from the Irish coven said immediately after Amun.
"Do you know if their leaders will be with them?" Amun said.
"Will they be split up or in one group?" Garrett, one of the American Nomads said.
"I can only answer so many questions at a time!" Alice yelled. It was the first time I had actually heard any emotion in her voice. These past few months definitely had an effect on her.
I eventually looked away from the window and into the dining room where I could see Alice in a chair, her fingers pressed to her temples. Amun, Siobhan, Garrett, Eleazar, Jasper and Emmett were around her, their eyes focused intently on Alice, waiting for a response.
I searched through Alice's mind, watching her visions.
It looked as though the time of day was long into the night, though I could see daylight slowly approaching.
There was a group of 33 approaching from the west side of the clearing, and another group of 32 approaching from the east side.
The three vampires that Alice had described as the leaders were there. I could see that two of them were males and one was female. The female stood in the middle of the two males. Her blonde hair, almost white, blended in with her pale skin. She was about two or three feet shorter than the two males, which slightly reminded me of Jane, though the facial structures were very different. The male on her left side was very tall. He had black hair that was swept in front of his face. The male on her right side was about a foot shorter than the other male, but he had more muscle on him, his auburn hair was swept in a ponytail down his back.
That would definitely be Emmett's kill.
All three of them had gold eyes, which showed that they had been around for awhile.
As her vision faded I was swept right back to the thoughts of the others as she answered every one of their questions.
As usual they were already getting pumped, chatting amongst the others about what their tactics would be. I didn't want to hear anymore.
I sped downstairs to find Esme pacing back and forth nervously.
I placed my arms on her shoulders. It somehow seemed to calm her. She took a deep breath.
Her thoughts raced with the possibility of one of us getting hurt, worrying over Carlisle, the amount of newborns, the little time we had, and of course, just wanting to get this whole ordeal over with.
I didn't say anything, but I did something I hadn't done in a long time. I pulled her into a hug.
After a long moment of silence, she pulled away, looking up at me and for the first time…smiling.
"Soon this will all be over with. Soon you will be able to see Renesmee. I promise."
Renesmee… I thought. The thought of my daughter brought me even more motivation. I couldn't wait to see her.
Nessie POV
Jacob carefully carried me into the spare bedroom where there was already a hospital bed set up by Kayden. Jacob had called Kayden, who, surprisingly, was already on his way. He narrowed down the weeks, and told us he had the urging feeling that this would be the week that I would deliver. Amazingly, he was right. I felt like I was going to pop any minute.
Sara did the check ups on me that Kayden had went over with her in case he wasn't there right away. I could barely get any sleep, and it felt as though one of the twins kept kicking me every now and then…a little too hard.
Jacob sat next to me, holding my hand. Arabell sat on the edge of the bed. For the first time in a long time she was as still as a rock, watching me intently.
"I think…I know what our son's name will be." Jacob spoke quietly. I immediately opened my eyes and looked towards him.
"What?" I said hoarsely.
Arabell smiled brightly, letting out a giggle, and I couldn't help but ask what she was beaming about.
"Arabell…what's with that smile? Is there something I don't know?"
"I know what the name is…" She said, still beaming.
"Okay…Tell us what it is." Jacob said to her.
"Kieran."
I let the name sink in my mind. I liked the way it sounded.
"How did you know that?" Jacob asked her. I couldn't help but giggle at Arabell's amused expression, satisfied by Jacob's response.
"I had a dweam wast night that I was playing with Dewiwah and then I saw a big wolf come towards momma. It was vwery friendly though. Then momma told Kiweran to come out from behind her. He looked just like daddy, except he had youwr eyes momma." She pointed at me. I was out of breath. Apparently so was Jacob. His mouth was wide open as he stared at her with shock. The only thing I knew about the dream that Arabell didn't was that she didn't know about her father being able to change into a wolf. We wanted to wait until she would be able to fully understand.
"That was the same dream I had earlier…" Jacob said, shocked.
"But why Kieran?" Arabell asked, puzzled.
"I don't know…" Jacob said.
"Maybe our son is trying to send us a message. Maybe he wants to be called Kieran." I said, laughing to myself. Laughing wasn't such a good idea though, because I felt another kick.
"Ow." I said through my teeth. Jacob leaned over me.
"Are they kicking again?"
"Yes." I whispered. I felt tired, but with all the kicking and the surprise of the dream, my mind was racing.
"Do you like the name? I do. It's unique."
I smiled.
"Yes. Kieran it is."
