Chapter 37

Jasper POV

The piercing screams from Bella caused Jasper to instantly lose focus and turn towards her. He saw the vampire who had ripped his arm off, coming at him from out of the corner of his eye. He smirked to himself as he grabbed him by the throat in surprise and ripped his head off. He grabbed the head to the center of the hall and stared down at the incinerator hole. He looked up and scanned the hall for Caius. His father was busy fighting 5 vampires at once. Such a show off.

Jasper rolled his eyes and ran towards the incinerator switch and flicked it on. The roar of the fire caused all the newborns around the hole to back up quickly in fear. Jasper smirked. It was time to permanently kill these bastards. He moved quickly back to the hole and threw the vampire's head in, along with his body. He turned to the two others he had been fighting and narrowed his eyes at them.

They looked at each other before running towards him. Jasper smirked as he grabbed the first one by the arm, flipped him over and threw him into the hole. The second one tried to push Jasper in the hole since his back was turned, but with his heightened senses, he jumped into the air and back kicked the stupid newborn into the fire.

Their screams should have caused him to cringe, but he didn't. He was in his zone at the moment. He quickly took a glance around the hall before running over to Bella. He fell to his knees and cupped her face gently.

"What are you doing here?" he demanded. "Where's Carlisle?"

"I … I … your arm!" Bella screeched.

"Catch, Major!" Peter's voice reached them as Jasper's arm flew through the air towards them.

Jasper caught it easily and quickly attached it back, using his own venom. He saw Bella sigh in relief before grabbing her stomach in pain.

"Bella!?" Jasper scooped her up and disappeared into the conference room.

He knew that everyone could handle things without him for a minute.

"Where the fuck is Carlisle?" Jasper growled as he placed Bella on the table. He knew that it was comfortable, but it was the best he could do at the moment. "Hang on."

He headed back into the hall and scanned the room for Carlisle. He saw everyone else but Carlisle or Esme. He narrowed his eyes and spotted Rose. She was fighting 2 newborns by herself. Rose, he knew, was an impressive fighter. She used her inner demons to her advantage when the time called for it. He moved over to her quickly and ripped the heads off the two newborns with ease.

Rose stopped moving and stared at him in both shock and anger.

"I had that!" she snapped.

"I know, but I need you with Bella now." Jasper grabbed her hand and led her towards the conference room.

He shut the door and headed over to Bella.

"Where the hell is Carlisle?" Rose shouted. "She's in labor!"

"I don't know." Jasper snapped. "I would have brought him here if I knew, wouldn't I?"

"Argh!" Bella screamed as she gripped her stomach in pain.

"Bella, hun, did you see Carlisle when you woke up?" Rose asked gently.

"No." Bella shook her head. "I … I was … alone. Why is the … battle happening … now? It's too … early!"

"Oh babe …" Jasper reached up tentatively and gently brushed her sweat covered hair away from her eyes. "Alice saw them coming early an hour ago … we've been fighting for a few minutes now. They broke into the castle with Victoria's power."

"Are we winning?" Bella wondered.

"Yes my love." Jasper lied. "We're winning."

He looked up at Rose and caught the worried look she was sending his way. They needed to move Bella back to Carlisle's office and find him immediately.

"Rose … can I trust you with her?" Jasper murmured. "I'm going to find Carlisle. I don't think we can move her … I think she's in too much pain."

"Send someone else to find Carlisle. We need you fighting in the hall." Rose growled. "My mate is out there, fighting for his life, while I'm here taking care of your mate. The least you could do is watch out for mine! With or without Carlisle, this baby is coming and I will be here to help deliver my godson, but if my mate dies because I'm here and not with him, then I will kill you before you ever see your son. No offence."

Jasper's eyes narrowed slightly before he reluctantly pulled himself away and stood up rigidly. Rose was right. He had no experience in delivering babies, but if they couldn't find Carlisle then Rose was their next option. The least he could do is protect everyone else that Rose and Bella cared about.

"I'll be back as soon as things are over." Jasper bent down and kissed her lips fiercely before she released a blood curling scream of pain.

Jasper stepped out of the conference room and closed the door shut. He thanked his family for making that room sound proof. He knew that if the newborns heard Bella's screams, they would go straight for her. He knew how much more delicious a pregnant woman's blood tasted. It put normal blood to shame.

He scanned the hall quickly and saw his family fighting, everyone holding their own. Marcus seemed to be in a world of his own as his much more sadistic side was out. He was busy fighting off 3 newborns at once. Marcus was always known as the fiercest warrior in history. He made Caius look tame. Losing his mate had caused him to become a docile shell of a man, but finding Bella gave him a renewed life force. The merciless warrior was back.

Caius was keeping his head above the water easily while he played with 2 newborns. He was toying with them, a trick that Jasper had learnt from the master himself. He turned his eyes to Aro, who was moving so fast that even with his vampire sense, Jasper couldn't keep up. That was Aro's secret. He was the fastest vampire in the world. In all the battles he had fought in history, he survived and won them all because of his speed and agility.

Surprisingly to Jasper, Charlie was fighting with ease. He seemed to be able to predict the moves of the newborn he was fighting. Jasper was sure that it was because of his military background since Charlie was in the army before settling down as the Chief of police in Forks.

He knew that Stefan and the second army were already on their way, so they just needed to hold out until the cavalry came. So far, there hadn't been many deaths on their side. The sound of the fire roaring as another piece of vampire flesh was thrown in caused Jasper to turn his attention to the other side of the room. He spotted Emmett and Peter fighting alongside each other like a duo. He smiled knowing that there would be no problems since he taught them both separately and longer than the rest of the guard.

He grabbed the nearest guard member and sent him to find Carlisle and Esme as he continued roaming the room.

He spotted Dimitri huddled in a corner trying to piece together a very distraught Alice. The loud gasp from Charlotte's lips brought his attention to her. A newborn had managed to snag her leg off and was coming straight for her.

Jasper sighed and ran towards Charlotte, re-entering the battle and praying that Rose took care of Bella.

Bella POV

The most excruciating pain was running through her body every minute. She looked up at Rose's worried face and could tell that Rose was thinking about Emmett. She didn't know what to say to her best friend because she was just as worried about Jasper. She needed to help him … them … all of them.

Her mind instantly wondered to her fathers and uncles. Were they all ok? Where was Peter and Charlotte? Was Alice really dead? Where the fuck was Carlisle and Esme?

"Rose … you have to go … find Carlisle!" Bella murmured through her pain.

"I can't leave you now Bells." Rose sighed. "Besides, I'm sure Jasper already sent someone to look for Carlisle. If we don't find him them I will deliver this baby."

"Rose!" Bella screamed as another contraction hit.

"Ugh! I can't just sit here and wait anymore!" Rose snapped. "Has your water broken yet?"

"No." Bella shook her head. "I know once it does break … then I'll have to push."

"Ok, I think that I should head to Carlisle's room for some stuff quickly." Rose suggested. "You know, like gloves … and other labor stuff… I think I know what I'm looking for."

Bella closed her eyes against the searing pain and just nodded her head. Rose kissed her forehead quickly and disappeared from the room through the back door.

Even though the room was sound proof, Bella could still hear the battle going on on the other side of the door. The screams and sharp sounds of glass breaking as limbs were ripped off frightened her. She wasn't sure if they were winning or losing. She hoped they were winning, but it seemed as if they were struggling when she last saw them.

She looked down at her stomach and sighed. She wanted to help. She needed to help. She had to help. She stood up and walked painstakingly slow to the door. She pressed her ear against it and could hear the fighting louder.

"Baby boy … we have to help them. Are you going to help me?" she whispered down to her stomach. "Can you wait just a little longer? If you can't, it's ok. But if you can … please … help."

The contraction pains subsided slightly, giving her a little more speed and concentration. She pushed open the door again, peeking into the hall. She knew that if Jasper caught her this time, he was going to be completely enraged. But she had to help. They needed as much help as they could get.

Her eyes scanned the hall once more and she finally spotted her fathers. They were working side by side, destroying newborn after newborn as they came at them. It seemed as if the number of the newborn army had increased tenfold since they had last gathered information on them. Bella didn't know how they were going to win since it looked like there were 8 newborns to 1 Volturi guard member.

She looked away from her fathers and spotted Peter and Emmett. They were both laughing and working seamlessly together, as if they had been partners for years. Bella was relieved slightly because it seemed as if Emmett was going to be ok. She knew that Rose would be happy.

Her eyes landed on Dimitri and to her surprise, a freshly healed Alice. As if sensing her, Alice turned her head and locked eyes with Bella. She shook her head as she saw 2 newborns on either side of Bella running towards her. Bella, being oblivious smiled at Alice in relief of seeing her alive.

"No!" Alice shouted suddenly, causing Bella to look to either side of her.

Bella reached down and held her stomach protectively as both newborns suddenly burst into flames. They screeched as Alice appeared by Bella's right side, with Dimitri on her left. Other fighters made a path for the 2 newborns on fire as they ran around the hall like headless chickens.

"What are you doing here?" Jasper hissed angrily as he appeared in front of her. "Where is Rose?"

"She went to get some things to help with the delivery." Bella reached up and gripped Jasper torn shirt. "I can help. I can't just sit back and let everyone else fight. The baby understands! Let me help!"

"Bella, no!" Jasper snapped. "We have this! Stefan is on the way with the backup army. You get your ass back into that room and focus on giving birth to our son."

"No!" Bella screeched in a high pitch voice. "No! No! No! I can't lose you! I can't lose my fathers! I can't lose Caius … or Aro … Rose … Emmett … Peter … Charlotte … Alice … Dimitri … Jane … Alec …. I can't lose my family! Why can't you understand that? Why can't you see what losing any one of them will do to me?"

"Bella, stop!" Jasper pleaded. "I CAN'T LOSE YOU! OR OUR SON! NOW SHUT UP, GET BACK TO SAFETY AND FOCUS ON OUR SON!"

"Fuck you Jasper Whitlock!" Bella screamed. "I can help! We can help! Trust me like I've trusted you!"

She pushed away from Jasper hard and ran towards the center of the hall. She looked around at all the newborns and released a loud scream as each newborn ignited into blue fire while a loud splashing sound erupted from her pants.

A/N
