An Hi, I am very sorry for the delay but real life decide to throw some shit my way and it left little time for writing or I was to stressed so even through I know this chapter is short I thought I would post it just to let you all know I am still writing and intend to finish it, my other stories will eventually get rewritten but I want to get this one done first. Thank you for all the comments keep them coming

Bella POV

My teeth sunk into the deer's neck, its blood filled me running down my throat soothing the itch that had been increasing the last few days. My shield kept me from feeling the thirst for the most part but with the stress it wasn't able to block it all.

"Bella?" My sisters voice reached me she stood a few feet away, she still needed to hunt almost as much as me and also consumed human blood bags every other day. "Are you ready to head back?" she asked as I buried my kill.

"Yeah do you think De and Felix found anything?" De and Felix were out scouting the local towns and cities, they had been gone four days and were due to check in today.

"We'll find out soon enough." She answered as I joined her on the run back. "You're stressed." she stated and I nodded

"I am its just I haven't had any time alone with Jasper since we found out about Victoria and I know its selfish but I just want some alone time with him."

"Your right maybe we can do something about that." she stated giving me a smile, "Race you." she took off and I laughed calling out she was a cheat.

"Jasper I need a word" Iris stated as we entered the house Jasper looked up from the maps he had set out,

"Were you hunting just the two of you?" he asked slightly annoyed we had discussed it we were supposed to go in groups of four.

"Yes but that can be addressed later I need a word" my sister reiterated. Jasper growled slightly before moving over to us, he gave me a questioning look but I just shrugged , when it came to my sister I was never sure what she was planning.

"What is it you need Iris?" He asked his tone clipped

"Space...there are two newly mated pairs her me and De and you and Bella, since we found out about Victoria two weeks ago neither pairs have had a chance to have some time." Jaspers face softened the annoyed look disappeared.

"Do you have an idea?" He asked

"Yes Me and De will go to the cottage you and Bella here everyone else can for lack of a better word fuck off, stay in groups and close by that if we called they could be there quick, with Bella's shield you guys would be fine and I wouldn't want to attack me or my mate while I am the way I am." Jasper chuckled Alice appeared behind him and I swore if she stopped this I would light her entire wardrobe on fire.

"Bella Please I didn't come to stop it I came to say that everything would be fine for a few days with Iris's plan as long as you are done by Friday there will be no problems. I smiled then and Jasper nodded I jumped up and down before gaining control of myself.

"As soon as Felix and De have been debriefed we'll tell everyone" I hugged him then and he took me his arms and carried me into the living room sitting down with me in his lap.

"I'm sorry I've been neglecting you Darlin'" He murmured in my ear kissing down my neck a purr rumbled in my chest.

"I understand Jasper but I need you, and you need a break" I felt him nod in agreement and we stayed like that until the others arrived.

There wasn't anything we weren't expecting, missing people mostly ones considered runaways we had already discussed allowing any newborn who surrendered a chance to live. Iris's gift allowed us enough Intel that we were dealing with at least twenty, but by the time the battle happened it might be more it might be less. We also knew that the battle would happen in a few weeks Alice had seen it and to be honest I was glad, the sooner she came the sooner it would be over and the less people would die or be changed for her army. Jasper and Peter had called in a few friends who would arrive a few days before the battle we didn't need Victoria seeing our numbers grow.

Garrett had been turned in the American revolution and had thought in nearly every American war since. He loved a good fight and was happy to lend a hand, the Denali were also coming with which I was nervous Laurent would be joining them and I didn't trust him, Iris knew he wasn't mated to Irina. Others had been called but not confirmed but I felt better having more here.

The training was going well and even Esme had made leaps and bounds although Carlisle was still so hesitant which frustrated my sister to no end.

"Right everyone Me and Bella and De and Iris need some time together as Mates so Iris and de will be taking the cottage while me and Bella stay here, the rest of you stay in a groups of a least three and stick close that if we call you can get here quick, there are to be no interruptions unless it is a life threatening emergency. You can all come back Friday at Mid day you have half an hour to get anything you will need for the three days now go!" Jasper ordered and I smiled excited to spend some quality time with my mate.

Once everyone was gone we wasted no time in claiming one another, in every which way possible.

"We're going to need a new bed" I stated as we lay in the remains my hands had clawed through the mattress as he had brought me to orgasm and he had crushed the headboard when he had found his release two round later.

"Don't worry there are plenty in the house" he captured my lips again and the passion once again ignited I needed him inside me. "I love you my mate"

"I love you too" I relied and his face lit up

"Marry me Bella, be my wife, I want to be connected to you in all ways." I looked up into his amber eyes and could almost see desperation there.

"Yes Jasper of coarse I'll marry you, but after" I stated, it was selfish I know but I wanted my dad to walk me down the isle.

"Then it will be something to look forward to." and we started again.

Iris POV

I lay with my mate my mind calm and relaxed for the first time in weeks the human blood was helping heal my fractured mind but it was De who was holding me together, without him I would be broken beyond repair. I wanted more than anything to be at full strength to be able to use my gift without the worry of loosing control and hurting the ones I love but even my gift told me it would take time, at least I had enough strength to be able to fight with my family.

"Iris?" I looked at my mate he was nervous and I became worried as to why.

"Yes De whats wrong?" I asked as he rose from lying down by me to sitting up.

"there something I need to ask you and I don't know what your answer will be" I had never seen him so unsure and I was concerned.

"Well you better ask and find out your worrying me" I told him and his eyes shot to mine

"I was wondering if you would do me the honour and become my wife?" silence I was stunned only for a moment as a smile broke across my face and I slowly nodded.

"Yes De metri of coarse nothing would make me happier" his face lit up and I couldn't help but laugh when he kissed me with so much passion.

"It will have to wait till after the battle but as soon as Victoria is ash we can start to plan" I nodded having lost my voice and started to kiss him.

An Yay two weddings :) this will be so much fun I hope you enjoyed it and I will try and get an update done in the next few days.
