AN: Hello everyone. Sorry for taking so long. Enjoy!

I do not own Twilight. But I got a new HDTV!!!!

BOOM

James- POV

"Where is my little birdie heading to, my love?" I whispered looking up at my love sitting across from me.

"The little birdie is headed to Chicago. The entire flock is accompanying the little one," she informed me, her eyes wild and blazing with desire.

But her desire was very different from most women. Her desire was to watch others suffer at another person's hands. That's why she loved me. That's what I could give her. In fact, it was the only thing that I could give her. It's the only thing she ever asked of me.

Victoria was the only woman -besides my fucking sick ass step-mother- that dictated anything in my life. When I first met her at a party, I was already really fucked up. My fucking father killed and shot my step-mother when he realized what she was doing to me while he was gone. I have seen some fucking crazy ass stuff that no human should ever witness.

My biological mother died a few months after I was born; she chose to have me despite the fact that she had a tumor in her head that could kill her at any moment. My father wanted her to give up on me so they could operate and start chemo, but she wouldn't listen. Sometimes I wished she fucking would have.

The tumor finally killed her when I was three months old. My father resented me. I knew he did. But at the same time, I was a part of him and a part of her. When I was three years old, he finally remarried. Too bad she was a fucking bitch.

It was his fucking fault, too. How couldn't he question all the fucking bruises my body was riddled with? Did he honestly believe the 'he's a kid and clumsy' excuse every time she used it? I fucking had to live with her controlling abusing ass for far too long. One day, she progressed from physical and mental abuse. She crossed the line when she put her hands on me. Fucking bitch thought I wouldn't speak up.

I did, and three short days later my father confronted her after the CPS reports to him about the complaints I had made to my school counselor. I thought at worst she'd get in trouble, maybe jail time. And then she'd be out of my fucking life. But no, my father fucking lost it. He shot her for touching me. He shot her for defiling something that was a part of my birth mother. He shot her because she was supposed be the mother I needed and not feared. He shot her because he couldn't stand the idea that someone had done this to me without him seeing.

Then he shot himself.

Fucking asshole.

Fucking coward.

And I saw it all. I was just in the other room; my door was opened a crack. After he shot himself, I walked into that living room, passed their bodies, and walked over to the silk wedding bouquet that belonged to my birth mother. The one my father still kept in display on a shelf. The white silk flowers were splattered with blood that I tried to wipe off, but to no avail. I wept. I was only 13.

After that, the fucking perfect foster system had me bouncing from house to house. I fucking hated it. I was finally free of the damn abuse to only put myself in more. When the time came that I was old enough to join the army. I did.

I tried to fix up my life, but the rage that built up me over the years was always there, just beneath the surface. Then I met her. Victoria. God she was beautiful. Crazy beautiful I came to find out later. She liked violence. She lived for danger. I gave her what I could. I needed her in my life.

I thought it was fucking hot when she beat up Rebecca Blake just because she gave me those 'come hither' eyes one time at a party. Then she did it again. Then she let me watch. Fuck.

Then that's pretty much what it took to really get me off. Like I said she was crazy beautiful. Then it escalated. She wanted more. I would give her the world. She already picked out the first victim. Now instead of me getting off on her kicking someone's ass; it was her turn.

I loved every second of it.

Her sweet soothing voice brought me out of my thoughts. "Why would the little birdie be over there, my love?"

"Interview of some kind because of that fucking Oscar nod she received." I snorted. Bitch didn't deserve that fucking nod. She wasn't acting. She was fucking re-living. There's a damn difference.

"Should I be worried?" Victoria whispered.

"Yes, you know what to do?"

"Yes," she said with that deliciously wicked grin.

Jasper's POV

I listened to the chalk talk between each of the groups as we prepared to breach Victoria's home. It was listed as her last place of residence. We got the all clear from the judge when the evidence, a set of partial prints from where Bella was held prisoner matched a thumb print from DMV to Victoria Justice. Emmett and I were in full Swat gear, ready and loaded.

We were both fully trained and part of the Alpha Team ready to enter the home from the front. Charlie and Delta teams were almost in place and point man Garrett, a long time friend was giving the all clear to proceed. We crept up in 2 by 2 formations and descended on the home that was in the more secluded area of the hills. Less than 30 minutes from the Cullen Estate.

The fucking bitch was under our noses the whole damn time. Her home was perched perfectly, so she'd be able to see when we came and went from the house. Bravo team had reached the back door as we did. The entry team was preparing to break in with the halligan in conjunction with the ram, when we heard wheels and brakes squeal behind us.

I recognized Rick, Bella, and Edward jumping out of the car.

What the fuck are they doing here?

Edward was pulling Bella toward his body trying to keep her from running closer to us. "DON'T GO IN THERE!" Bella screamed her face flushed red as she tried to fight her husband off. Rick was waving his hands. There was something wrong.

"We've got a possible bingo," I looked at Garret, but it was a second too late. The bravo team breeched the back door.

I felt the rumble before I felt the heat. I was propelled several feet in the air until the darkness overcame me.

EPOV

Bella was sitting impatiently in the car as we waited with baited breath on news from Jasper and Emmett. We sat in a SUV a few blocks from Victoria's house. After Bella's revelations, we finished the interview with Oprah with further explaining her theories, which could not disclosed until there was an arrest warrant issued on Victoria. Bella disclosed that with love and support the nightmares were finally coming to a close and ended the interview.

Charlie pulled some strings and managed to get lab results on Bella's cold case that proved that Victoria had indeed been there when she was tortured. There were partial prints on the chair that Bella was tied to. There were partial prints on the car battery that was used to torture a younger Bella. Most of them matched James, but there was a partial print of a thumb on that same car battery that did not match James. It was Victoria's that matched DMV records. It was just enough proof for the judge to give the all clear for her arrest.

SWAT was called to help with the arrest when they realized James' other obsessions. Besides computer hacking, he had a thorough knowledge of weapons. Plus Victoria paid a visit to James in jail while we were in Chicago. Their conversations were too low for video to pick up. But the look on their faces told us that they were planning something.

"Ugh…what's taking so long?" Bella asked for the sixth time since Jasper and Emmett left an hour ago.

"Bella, be patient. They have to take every precaution they can," Rick tried reassuring her.

Bella was about to respond but her lap top indicated that she received a new message.

Good, a distraction.

Bella huffed and clicked on the little inbox button. She suddenly sucked in a breath. There was a picture of a bloody rose. There was an attachment. Bella clicked on it. It was video. She pressed play after it finished downloading in just a few seconds.

We all looked confused because there was what looked like a computer model of Victoria's home. Then suddenly there were computer figures running toward the home from different directions. Most of them were in plain black clothing, but two of the figures had letters on their backs. One was a J and the other an E. Then the house blew up.

"Boom." A female voice rang from the speaker of her laptop. Bella gasped as laughter filled the cabin of the vehicle.

"Drive Rick," Bella whispered. In moments, we were flying down the curvy road. Bella tried her phone but there was no signal.

"Wouldn't matter Bella, they wouldn't carry their phones with them," Rick said his voice cracking with evident strain. His hands curled around the steering wheel hard, turning his knuckles white with the tension.

"Hurry then," Bella said firmly.

Rick nodded. "Jasper is going to kill me," Bella mumbled as she fought the tears threatening to spill over. I wrapped my arms around her but she turned away from me. Her whole body leaned against the back door of the SUV. The car came to screeching halt and before I could even grab Bella, she was out the door. I scrambled out of car as Bella screamed. I quickly wrapped my arms around her waist to prevent her from going any closer.

"DON'T GO IN THERE!" Bella screamed her body flushed with heat as she clawed at my arms to release her.

"Bella, the babies…" I whispered before the blast over took the team throwing Bella, Rick and I back against the car.

Stars blanketed my vision as I tried to find Bella. I could feel the heat coming from the fire and moans escaping various bodies that were thrown from the force of the blast. I crawled over Bella careful not to put my weight on her.

"Baby, are you ok?" I asked wiping her hair from her neck and face. There was blood coming from her temple as her eyes fluttered open. She nodded but moaned when she tried to move. "Hold still, Bella."

I looked over at Rick who was already upright. He looked over to me. I nodded. He went and started to look for others in need of attention.

"Bella," I said looking into her brown eyes. I didn't have the mentality to look around the chaos around us. I just wanted to think of nothing but my Bella and our unborn children.

"Jasper, Emmett," she gasped tearing falling from her eyes. I kissed her temple and pulled away slightly to see if she was injured anywhere else. There were scratches along side of her body; mostly her right shoulder, arm and leg. It looked to be mostly from the flying debris and the glass that littered the ground. I placed my hand on her stomach.

"Bella, how about your abdomen? Does it hurt or anything?" I asked keeping contact with her body at all times. It was the only thing keeping me sane at the moment. I may have lost two good friends; I almost lost my wife and my children. I had to be strong for her.

"No it doesn't hurt, just my shoulder," she gasped wincing when she tried to move.

"Don't move, Bella. Just stay still. Help should be here soon," I indicated firmly placing my hands on her body to prevent her from moving further.

"I need to know if they're ok, Edward," she cried. She looked at me and I nodded. I reluctantly pulled away from her body. I stood up carefully, just becoming aware that my shoulder was killing me. I took the full force the blast backward as I cradled Bella's body within my own. I sighed running my hand through my hair and looked at the scene around me. Rick was hunched over a body. He quickly left it and went to another. The house was emitting smoke but no flames. There was hardly anything left of the house but a pile of rubble and a half wall that once peered out to the front porch. The grass was blackened with soot or charred blades from the heat of the explosion. Rick ran over back to me.

"It looks like the entire Bravo team was killed in the blast. Charlie and Delta Teams were left mostly unscathed with minor cuts, bruises and burns. Alpha Team, Jasper and Emmett's team are scattered around the front yard. Most are hurt pretty badly. Delta and Charlie team members are helping with the wounded," he reported to me.

"Jasper and Emmett?" I asked trying to remain emotionless so Bella wouldn't see. Rick grimaced. He leaned in and whispered.

"They're pretty bad Edward, but alive," he whispered solemnly. I nodded and returned to Bella. Rick stood beside us, keeping a wary glance at the surrounding area. Victoria could be anywhere and observing. In fact, I was pretty sure she was studying us with her own eyes or some kind of video surveillance. She was watching.

Help arrived a few minutes later and I stood by as the paramedics helped Bella and put her in an ambulance. I refused treatment for my cuts and shoulders until I knew that she was ok. As we were taken the hospital, Bella kept drifting in and out of consciousness. She kept asking about Jasper and Emmett.

"They're alive and being treated for their injuries, love," I whispered in her ear as a paramedic took my vitals.

A few hours later, I sat beside Bella's beside. She was being held overnight for observation. She had a mild concussion, 5 stitches on her temple, 16 more along her right arm and leg. Bella started to stir.

Her beautiful eyes found mine as I took her small hand in mine. "The babies," she stated like a question.

"Their heartbeats are being monitored but they seem to be alright," I answered honestly.

She closed her eyes and nodded before looking at me again. "You?"

I shrugged my shoulders, which of course caused me to grimace. "Dislocated shoulder and stitches here and there."

"Edward, how about Jasper and Emmett? The rest of the teams?" she asked her eyes glistening with tears. Tears I knew would triple once I told her the news of their condition.

"Four men died immediately, 2 died on the way here -one of them Jasper's friend, Garrett." I sighed wishing I didn't have to continue. "Jasper sustained a few broken ribs, a concussion, and 3rd degree burns over 19 percent of his body." She gasped, placing her hand over her mouth and sobbed. "Emmett has similar injuries and has burns over 15 percent of his body."

She screamed and sobbed and pushed me away when I tried to comfort her. I knew she blamed herself. She blamed her rotten luck. She blamed herself for surviving her ordeal with James.

That fucking pissed me off.

"Damn it, Bella. Are you saying that you regret that I came into your life? Do you regret telling your story? Do you regret falling in love with me? Do you regret that you are currently carrying three of our children?" I said cradling her face in my hands.

"No," she wailed shaking her head.

"I regret that I didn't kill the bastard all those years ago."

I laughed and shook my head. "I regret that I didn't put a bullet in his head when I had a chance on our wedding day. But I figured that it would put a damper on our celebration if I was carted away in handcuffs."

"I'm so sorry," she whispered. She knew it made me angry when she blamed herself for all our problems.

"I know you are. But stop blaming yourself. This was all his and her doing, not yours. You're the victim."

"I don't want to be the victim anymore. I don't want others be the victims because of me."

"Bella," I warned her.

She pouted and nodded.

"I love you," I whispered kissing her nose.

"I love you, too."

Bella and I were released a couple of days later and were escorted by Rick and two new guards named Mike and Daniel out of the hospital. Despite their efforts, reporters crowded the exit.

"Mrs. Cullen, is it true that James Connors may not be your stalker?"

"Mr. Cullen, is it true that The Lady Killer has an accomplice?"

"Mr. and Mrs. Cullen are the babies alright?"

Bella stopped and turned to the reporters, the cameras and all the microphones pointing in her direction.

"Our children are in perfect health. James Connors is and has always been my stalker and yes, he has an accomplice. You will find out more information from an interview I did with Oprah." She turned walked toward our car. I followed closely, climbing in behind her.

We left the parking lot shortly after. Bella sighed placing her head on my shoulder. "We can't visit Emmett and Jasper at the Burn Center, can we?"

"No Mrs. Cullen, the place is also swamped with reporters," Rick said from the front seat.

Bella nodded. "Then take us home, Rick," I said pulled Bella even closer to me. Bella's phone rang in her pocket.

She answered it when she realized it was Alice.

"Alice," she sobbed into the phone.

"They're both awake. Oh thank god." Bella gasped pressing her forehead against my chest. Something Alice said caused Bella to laugh.

"So Jasper face and pretty hair didn't …" she trailed off not able to finish the sentence.

"Emmett…" Bella giggled again. "I'm happy to hear he's still joking around."

"Are you ok, Alice?" she asked worried for her best friend. Bella listened to whatever Alice was telling her in a quite stupor.

"I love you, too."

"I know…I can't help it." She sobbed again. I ran my hand through her hair gently.

"I will. I know we can't go there now, hopefully they'll leave soon and we'll be able to visit," Bella said looking at me.

"Give them both my love and Rosalie, too." Bella slid her phone closed putting back in her pocket.

"She insists that they're ok. That I don't need to worry since Jasper pretty face and hair was untouched. And Emmett is excited to have battle scars." She laughed through her gentle sobs against my chest.

"That's sounds like Emmett. I'm not sure about the 'pretty' aspect of Jasper's face and hair though." Bella snorted and hit my chest with her small fist.

Bella stiffened beside me suddenly. "Love, what is it?"

"I think I felt the babies move," she said placing her hand over stomach. I placed them on her stomach, too. Sure enough there was a distinct push against the pressure of my hand. I smiled at her.

"That's our babies saying hello," Bella whispered. Bella was roughly 19 weeks pregnant and due to her small body and the fact she was carrying multiples she doctor said she would start feeling the fluttering of the babies movements. I smiled and continued to hold on to my wife and my children for dear life.

Because they were my life.

AN: Sorry I had to do that to poor Emmett and Jasper. Burn vicitms have to be treated for weeks sometimes months before they are released sometimes. This had to happen because this leaves a gaping hole in Bella's security.
