Chapter 36: Shame
This chapter's in Emmett's point of view. Just a heads up so no one gets confused.
I groaned rubbing my face. Jenna had locked herself up in our room. She was refusing to get out and was refusing to see our beautiful twins. It was destroying her that she had killed those two men. Jasper had taken care of the bodies for us. I brought her home and Carlisle tried to talk to her but she wasn't having it. Esme tried and that went even worse. Every time I went close to her she became even more hysterical and started screaming about how I proposed to a monster, to a killer.
"She'll be fine Emmett. She just needs some time" Alice told me softly squeezing my shoulder. "How much time?" I questioned, my baby girl was sleeping soundly in the crook of my arm. Her soft snores reaching my ears. My little boy sleeping in Esme's. Thankfully these two slept through the night so it would give me some time to try to talk to Jenna. But she had sabotaged our room so I would have to bust through the wall to get in. Which I was getting very tempted to do. Jasper had volunteered to try to talk to her. Since he had the most experience in this field with all of his slip ups. So he was currently just sitting in the hallway using his gift to calm her down before trying to convince her to open the door.
It's been three days since that plan started. Need I say more?
Hearing a loud yell, a few choice swear words and a slamming door Jasper made his way down the stairs. His shirt sleeve singed. "All right that didn't work" he muttered as he paced trying to come up with a different idea. This would go along better if Edward was here to read her mind. That way he'd now what to say! Or at least have a general idea! Jasper glanced at us before a smile crossed his face. "I think I know how to snap her out of this" he smiled. "How?" I questioned furrowing my brows. I didn't like the look on his face. "Jasper!" Alice criticized. "What it might work!" Jasper defended. "What?" I demanded wanting to know what was going on.
"If we have one or both of the kids go in to see her." Jasper explained. "But what if she attacks them?" Esme demanded, she had already grown quite protective of the kids. "She won't" Jasper and I both assured her. "But there's still that chance" Carlisle put in. "We'd have to be careful about it. But all of us will be there. It'll work. It has to!" Jasper said throwing his hands up in the air. "And what if it doesn't?" Esme questioned. "Then it's worth a shot! Besides what mother can stay away from their children once she's seen them?" Jasper defended. I thought about it. "It might work" I told them. "It's worth a shot. But maybe we should just use one child?" I questioned and he nodded. I looked at the baby boy in Esme's arms. He'd be up for it no doubt.
Hell when these two were awake they were trying to sneak upstairs to see her. They had grown quite curious of their mother's antics and were missing her terribly. And they were getting smarter by every attempt! Earlier today one had taken off into the kitchen to distract us while the other went for the stairs. They were dividing and conquering and I was sure that they were talking to each other somehow to orchestrate these plans. We were starting to think that they were telepaths, but we couldn't be sure till Edward was home to listen in on them.
We'd try it in the morning when he woke up. When the sun came up they woke up. Esme and Alice held my baby girl. Yes my baby girl. And when she starts dating I'll kill the male fuckers that will come near her. While I held my baby boy. Which it was getting to be a real pain in the ass in not naming them till Jenna became sane. But I knew she'd kill me if I named them without consulting with her first.
Jasper, Carlisle and I headed up stairs. "Are we going to mommy?" He questioned. I nodded, "Yes we are. Now you must be cautious with mommy all right?" I questioned him. He nodded practically bouncing in my arms in nerves. He was so excited. Jasper slowly opened the door, turning the light on. "Go away" Jenna snarled. "Jenna" I said softly. She glanced up at me, her red eyes meeting mine before looking at our son in my arms. Shock and awe crossed her fact at seeing him. I watched as her body moved to embrace him but she caught herself. She closed her eyes looking away. "Take him out Emmett" She growled. "No Jenna. You need to meet our son." I told her softly, cautiously stepping forward. He looked up at me before looking over at Jenna.
"Mommy?" He questioned softly, his voice music to everyone's ears. She paused, biting her bottom lip. She was trying to control herself. "It's all right Jenna. You won't hurt him" Jasper assured her. She looked up at us. She wasn't so sure. Carlisle approached her slowly. She let him put his arm around her. Keeping her arms at his side. Jasper did the same on her other side before they slowly brought her forwards. Our little boy reached his arms out for her. Wanting her to hold him. She reached up slowly, cautiously. Her hands gently touching his sides. I moved him so he rested against her shoulder. She cradled him softly. Sighing in relief at not killing him.
True he had the marble skin, but they only glowed in the light. Didn't sparkle like we did. They still had our strength, my baby girl had my strength though. Yes that is what a proud father sounds like. But the still had blood, their hearts beat, quite fast actually and they ran a warm temperature. Warmer than a normal humans. She kissed his forehead softly. "Are you all right now mommy?" He questioned, she nodded her head slowly. Jasper was right. I looked over at him to make sure and he gave me a small nod. He monitored her feelings closely. "Now would you like to meet our daughter?" I questioned her. She looked up at me quickly before nodding her head. I smiled replacing Carlisle's and Jasper's arm with my own before leading her downstairs. She held our son closely to her heart.
Walking down the stairs, Alice and Esme smiled at seeing Jenna with us. Our daughter looked up happily from Esme's arms before reaching for her immediately. They were quite excited to meet their mother. We had shown them pictures but it wasn't the same and never would be. She smiled and took her into her other arm hugging the both of them. "Don't worry, they're quite sturdy" I assured her. She smiled up at me then nodded. "Now that your down here, what do you say to names?" I questioned her, as my little girl reached out for me. She was a huge daddy's girl. I held her tightly against me as we sat down. "Okay, what do you say to Edmund Casper Cullen?" She questioned looking over at me. I raised an eyebrow at the name. "Well Edmund after his father and Uncle, and Casper after his Uncle and Grandfather" I smiled at them. They all smiled at me.
"And what about for you?" I questioned our baby girl. She batted her golden eyes at me and I melted. Jenna hummed before saying. "What about Piper Andrea Cullen?" Jenna mused. "Piper?" I questioned. What kind of name was Piper? "You're going to lose that argument Emmett" Alice advised. I gave her a look. Jenna giggled nudging her nose against Edmund's cheek. "But they're growing so fast?" Jenna questioned, "Grandpa measures and weighs us three times a day!" Edmund spoke up. "They are growing rapidly, but it's slowing" Carlisle told her showing her their measurements. She groaned figuring the math out. They'd be old and dead before they were ten! What kind of life was that?
"Mommy don't be sad" Edmund said softly, putting his hand on her cheek. She smiled softly down at him. "I won't baby" she promised him only to pause as her phone went off. I handed her, her phone. She furrowed her eyebrows at seeing it was Bella that was calling. Why would she call during her honeymoon? Was Edward having trouble figuring out what was supposed to be happening during the honeymoon?
