I really hope you all enjoy.
Chapter: 17
I laid in between Jasper and Alex as they held me, it had been 3 hours since I had sent Lia away and while my sobs stopped the pain in my heart still pulsed the only thing that was keeping me still somewhat happy was the little imps that I could finally feel moving inside my womb.
"Both of you are going to be Fathers." I said quietly as I placed Alex's and Jasper's hands on my stomach and used my gift so they feel the imps kicking.
"Oh, Bella." Alex breathed and when I looked up his eyes were shining with tears.
"I hope those are happy tears." I said as Alex kissed my stomach.
"How?" Jasper asked I could tell he was in shock.
"When the twins were conceived they were Alex's but my gift will have changed their DNA to show you and Jasper, they will be a mix of all three of us." I said and a blinding smile came across his face.
"Is this why you've been more stressed lately because you can't send them to safety like we did Lia?" Alex asked and I bit my lip but nodded.
"As Queen and leader of the Guard i cannot stay out of the fight and it scares me that I can't protect them like I should." I said rubbing my hand across my belly.
"Did Lia say anything?" Alex asked and I nodded.
"She says that we will call them Jasmine Marie and Charles Alexander and that we will win and they will be safe." I said smiling at the names.
"Are you going to tell the Cullen's?" Alex asked making me nod.
"I'm going to offer the Gift to Esme and Rose." I said and Jasper chuckled.
"Rose will be ecstatic, she's always wanted children." He said.
I shifted away from my Mates and got off the bed, I would change and go visit The Cullens. I hadn't seen them since I told them about Edward and his deceiving ways.
I dressed quickly in a black skirt and crimson top, kissed my mates and left my rooms to head upstairs to the guest wings.
We never had many guests but had the room just in case and it was good we did because I had a feeling that Carlisle and his family would be staying for awhile.
I knocked on the door to their suite and when I heard Ese's voice I opened the door and stepped inside.
"Bella!" Esme said excitedly from she was curled up next to Carlisle who had a smile on his face when he saw me.
"I hope I'm not intruding." I said taking a seat on the couch in front of them.
"Not at all, we're glad to see you." Carlisle said and I knew he still saw me as the daughter of his heart like he did four years ago.
"I'm glad to see you too, I've missed you all so much." I said and they winced.
"We're so sorry, Bella. We never meant to leave like that but Edward was so convincing." Esme said.
"Don't worry about it, it's all in the past. I forgave you a long time after I learned about Edward's true colors and knew he had to have used his Gift on you, you all had made me feel like family so I couldn't understand why you would just pack up without a goodbye or take me with you." I said.
"I'm glad I missed you, Bella." Rose said as she came out of one of the bedroom and joined me on the couch.
"I missed you too, Rosie." I said hugging her tightly. "I'm glad you came out because I wanted to talk to all of you, I know Alice is still in the sewing room but she already knows what I want to say. Is Emmett here?" I said and squealed when all of a sudden I was picked up into a hug.
"Of course I am, Little Sister." He boomed and set me down on my feet.
"Emmett!" I said and jumped on him to wrap him in a hug. Emmett was my absolute favorite, he was the big brother In always wished for.
After we all sat down again I braced my self as I prepared to start talking.
"When I first joined the Volturi, t was believed that I would join the guard after my Rebirth. However that all changed a couple of months after my turning." I started.
"What happened?" Carlisle asked leaning forward forehead creased in worry.
"I had only been around Aro since as my sire he could control me better until I got a grip on my instincts, Marcus came to see me when Aro said it was safe and the moment I looked into his eyes a terrible pain hit me actually causing me to black out for a few seconds, when I regained my bearings and opened my eyes I could see colored lines leading everywhere but the brightest was a single blue line leading from Marcus to Aro." I said and Esme gasped knowing where I was going with this.
"You found your Gift." Carlisle said softly in awe and I nodded.
"After that, I felt no pain but every time I looked into a vampire's eyes I would suddenly have their gift and so Aro and the Brothers made me Queen. I technically have only two Gifts that my own. The ability to copy someone's gift and the ability to bear children." I said and this time it was Rose who gasped.
"I came to ask Esme and Rose a very important question." I said.
"Which is ?" Carlisle asked and I could see in his eyes that he was starting to get the idea.
"Esme, Rose you two will be the first people who will have been asked this question. You two are the Mother and Sister of my heart I wish to do this for you. Will you allow me to give the gift to bear children?" I asked.
A sob came from rose before she practically tackled me.
"Yes, yes, yes!" She cried as she buried her face in my neck.
"Oh, Bella. I would be so happy to accept your gift." Esme said in almost a whisper.
"Oh, I'm so glad. I always knew you two would be the first ones I would offer this too and so no one else has had this gift." I said as Rose pulled away with a wide grin.
"Thank you, Bella. Thank you." Carlisle said holding Esme close as Emmett did the same with Rose.
"You are all so very welcome. All I'll need to do is touch Esme's and Rose's stomachs and the next time you are with each other you'll conceive." I said and Esme stood up from the loveseat to stand next to rose and I place a hand each on their stomachs and concentrated. I knew the minute it worked because both of gasped in pain as their wombs were healed.
"There it worked." I said sitting back.
"Thank you, Bella. Thank you so much." Esme said and her hand instinctively placed itself on her belly.
"My children will need Aunts, Uncles, and Cousins to play with." I said and made sure to put a hand on my own stomach and grinned as their eyes grew wide.
"Are you?" Rose asked excitement in her eyes.
"Yes, with Alex and Jasper's twins." I said and Rose bounced her in her seat clapping her hand and acting more like Alice.
"Oh, I'm so happy for you. Have you picked names yet?" Esme asked and I nodded.
"Lia has a version of Alice's gift and she has seen them and know their names. We will name them Jasmine Marie and Charles Alexander." I said and Carlisle grimaced in sympathy.
"We heard about Charlie, We are so sorry." Carlisle said and I sighed.
"It was hard for awhile, he was apart of my life until his death. He refused the Bite and lived out his life on the Quiluete Reservation with his wife Sue and my stepsiblings Leah and Seth. I still visit them now and again." I said and Esme and Carlisle smiled.
"I'm so glad he found love again." Rose said. "He seemed so sad."
"He was, he loved Renee until he met Sue and fell in love with her." I said.
"Is Renee part of your life?" Carlisle asked and I shook my head.
"I played a test on both Charlie and Renee but only Charlie passed Renee fail miserably. I told them I was preganant and Charlie was disappointed but supportive but Renee said awful things and begged me to terminate." I said making Esme and Rose gasp and Carlisle and Emmett snarled.
"She thinks I and Lia are dead. We fabricated the story to keep her from trying to contact us, Charlie played along after he heard what she said." I said biting my lip, it was something I had done as a human when worried or sad and it carried over into my Rebirth.
I sighed and stood up dusting off my skirt.
"I must go, I still have a lot to do and not a lot of time to do it." I said and Carlisle nodded.
"Of course, please let us know of any way we can help." He said and I smiled wanly at him.
"I will take you up on that." I said and left their Suite.
Things were looking up I had my family back, I had my mates and I had the little imps inside me the only thing I didn't have was Lia but I would have her back, hopefully, sooner than later.
"God grant me the serenity to accept the things I cannot change,
the courage to change the things I can,
and the wisdom to know the difference." I thought as I walked through the halls.
