TeamStarkalltheWay - Thank you for your comment. Because this site is worldwide it is sometimes difficult to make sure all spelling and grammar is right for every person. While I am sure where you are the word "uncomfortableness" is not in the dictionary like you say, here where I am it is. I have used it before but decided to double check like you suggested and it is a word and is used as a noun. I try to stick to American spelling and grammar as much as I can because I have found with previous genres I have written fan fiction for over the last twelve years that most of my readers are from America but sometimes out of habit (and because my job involves writing research papers) I revert to Australian grammar and spelling. Sorry if this caused confusion for you.

Emmett and Jasper reached Rosalie and the children at the same time and as Jasper snatched Brandon into his arms Emmett dropped to Rosalie's side.

"Rose?" he gasped as he grabbed her and pulled her into his lap.

"The baby!" Rosalie hissed between clenched teeth.

"We need to get her back to the house," Jackson said as he joined them, his worried eyes locked on his sister.

"And get Carlisle," Edward added behind them. "Stella, can you go get Carlisle and tell him we need him home immediately?"

"Of course," Stella nodded and rushed off into the trees.

"Oliver, Bella, take the children and the others to our cottage and wait with the Denali coven until we come get you," Edward continued as he took control of the situation. "Alice, Jasper, Jackson, we need to get Rose and Emmett back to the house."

"I'll carry her," Emmett said quickly and shoved Jackson away slightly before jumping to his feet with Rosalie snuggled securely in his arms. She was still clutching at her stomach but her screams had dropped to mere whimpers.

"Don't push it now," Jasper warned as he felt Jackson's anger surge and he placed a warning hand on the other man's arm. "We might be her brothers, you by blood, but Emmett is her husband. Rose has said she wants us both there for this so we will be. Just let Emmett take control. It's his baby too."

"Yeah I know," Jackson sighed. Jasper reached over and took Alice's hand and they joined Edward as they all followed Emmett through the forest towards the house.

When they reached the house Emmett carried Rosalie straight to Carlisle's office and set her down as gently as he could on the table there. Rosalie was still tensed up in pain and she snatched at Emmett's hand and grabbed it to keep him by her side.

"Don't leave!" she hissed desperately.

"I'm not going anywhere babe," Emmett assured her and he glanced to the side where Edward was hurrying to get everything they would need ready.

"Jazz?" Rosalie moaned and Jasper dropped Alice's hand and raced over to stand the other side of Rosalie.

"I'm right here," Jasper assured her and leaned down and placed his hand on her forehead and began to send her as much peace and calmness as he could. It seemed to work a little and although Rosalie's eyes were still filled with pain she stopped struggling and whimpering.

"Shouldn't we get the baby out now?" Jackson asked in a panic.

"We need to wait for Carlisle," Alice murmured back. "Their group wasn't training far from us. I'm sure Stella has already relayed the message and he is on his way back."

"I hope so," Jackson sighed. "I don't know how much more of this she can take."

"Jasper will help her as much as he can," Alice assured him.

"And if Carlisle isn't here soon I can do the procedure," Edward added. "I have a medical degree and I witnessed how Carlisle delivered Brandon for Alice. I would rather Carlisle did it, he has more experience than me, but if he doesn't get here soon I'll do it."

"Okay," Jackson whispered and turned his eyes back to Rosalie, his own pain evident at watching his sister going through all this. A few moments later the door opened and Carlisle rushed into the room, his calm, authorative demeanour instantly calming the rest of them.

"Well Rose, it looks like this baby wants to be here a day early," he smiled as he walked quickly over to the table.

"Get it out!" Rosalie snarled and Carlisle merely offered her a smile and patted Emmett's arm, knowing how hard it must be for Emmett seeing Rosalie in that much pain.

"We will," Carlisle assured her and turned to where Edward had set up everything he would need.

"I think that is everything you needed for Alice," Edward murmured.

"Well done," Carlisle nodded. "Let's get this started. Jasper, keep Rose as calm as you can." Jasper nodded his head and intensified the waves he was sending to Rosalie and Carlisle quickly picked up the werewolf claw scalpel Edward had crafted and moved to stand beside Rosalie.

"I'll be as quick as I can," Carlisle promised and the lowered the scalpel to Rosalie's stomach. As he began to cut, Rosalie tensed and both Jasper and Emmett squeezed her hand on concentrated on calming her, Jasper with his gift and Emmett with his words.

"It's okay, babe," Emmett whispered. "It's nearly over." Carlisle worked quickly as Rosalie looked between Emmett and Jasper, her eyes pain-filled and worried. Suddenly a loud, throaty cry of a newborn filled the air and Jasper grinned when he realised Rosalie had completely forgotten her pain as she reached up and shoved Jasper away, eager to get a look at Carlisle.

"My baby?" she gasped.

"It's a girl," Edward announced happily as Carlisle concentrated on sealing Rosalie's wound.

"A girl, we have a girl," Rosalie whispered and turned to look at Emmett with wide eyes.

"We have a girl," Emmett repeated, a big, goofy smile on his face.

"I want to hold her," Rosalie said firmly as she looked back at Edward.

"In a second," Edward smiled at her. "Carlisle just needs to finish what he is doing and Alice and Jackson are cleaning her up." Rosalie turned her eyes to where she could see Alice and Jackson's backs but no matter how she moved her head she couldn't see the tiny baby they were tending to.

Alice had only just set the baby Carlisle had thrust at her onto the towel-covered table and when she peeled back to the towel Edward had wrapped her in she heard Jackson take in a deep breath he didn't need beside her.

"What?" Alice murmured.

"She's amazing," Jackson whispered and Alice looked up at him and grinned when she saw the look of love and adoration on the face of this brand new baby's uncle.

"She's perfect," Alice agreed and grabbed a wet washer and began to gently clean the tiny baby as she cried.

"Is she okay?" Jackson asked in alarm.

"She is fine," Alice assured him, expertly cleaning the baby, a smile on her lips as she remembered when Brandon had been that tiny.

"Why is she crying?" Jackson frowned. "She needs something or something is wrong."

"No, she is fine," Alice repeated, a look of amusement on her face. "Babies cry."

"She should never need to cry," Jackson murmured as he reached forward and carefully put his finger near the tiny baby's hand. She wrapped her fingers around his and he smiled proudly as her cries dropped to mere whimpers.

"She can tell you're her uncle," Alice grinned at him as she finished cleaning the baby and grabbed a blanket to wrap her in. Once she was wrapped Alice picked her up and turned to Jackson.

"How about you take her to meet Mom and Dad?" Alice smiled up at him. Jackson looked at her in disbelief for a moment and then his eyes dropped down to the little bundle in her arms.

"I don't know," he whispered unsurely.

"You won't hurt her," Alice assured him and thrust the baby at him, leaving him no choice but to take her. Once she was nestled safely in Jackson's arms he looked down at her and the look of love and adoration spread across his face again.

"Take her to Rose," Alice reminded him gently, knowing how eager Rosalie would be to meet her own baby. Jackson nodded his head and with his eyes locked on the baby he moved over to where Rosalie was now sitting up on the table, Emmett sitting beside her with his arm around her shoulders.

"Rosie," Jackson murmured as he stepped up beside her. "Your daughter." Rosalie held her arms out eagerly and Jackson smiled at her as he carefully transferred the tiny baby into her mother's arms. Rosalie looked down at her and instantly fell in love and when she lifted her eyes to meet Emmett's his own eyes echoed that love.

"We did it Rosie," Emmett whispered.

"We did," Rosalie smiled.

"Let's give them some time alone," Carlisle murmured and quickly ushered the others from the room, giving Emmett and Rosalie space to get to know their brand new daughter.

When they reached the living room Jackson sank down on the couch, clearly in shock after the arrival of his niece and Alice sat down beside him and slid her hand into his.

"I'll go get the others," Edward murmured and slipped out of the house and Carlisle glanced at Jasper.

"I might go upstairs and get cleaned up before everyone gets back," Carlisle added and Jasper glanced at him and nodded his head as he realised Carlisle had blood splattered on his clothes.

"Of course," Jasper murmured, his eyes locked on Jackson and Alice and he could feel the raging emotions inside Jackson acutely. Once it was only the three of them Jasper stood silently, letting Alice soothe Jackson rather than intervening himself.

"I'll be back in a moment sweetheart," Jasper whispered finally and Alice nodded her head but didn't look up as Jasper also slipped out of the house.

Once he was away from the rest of the family Jasper let his guard down and if anyone had been nearby they would have felt the anger flowing from him. He moved quickly through the forest and didn't slow his pace at all until he stepped into the small clearing where Claire and Maria were busy training their army. Maria's eyes snapped instantly to him and she stepped away from the group and smiled as she walked over to him.

"Jasper, darling, have you come to train with us?" she purred as she reached him.

"You know why I am here," Jasper snapped at her. "What the hell were you doing Maria?"

"Training my army," Maria smirked innocently.

"I don't mean now," Jasper growled. "I mean back at the other clearing. I told you to stay away from my son. Rosalie and her baby could have been seriously harmed by your actions."

"I wasn't there for him," Maria answered haughtily. "It isn't my fault the blonde vampire overreacted. I was looking for you."

"Why?" Jasper demanded.

"I know you think I am an evil, maybe even psychotic, person," Maria smirked. "And perhaps you are right. But I am first and foremost a general. And sometime in the next few days my army is merging with yours to fight the biggest threat to our kind. I thought it was time we talked strategy and you let me in on exactly what your plan of attack is."

"I suppose we do need to talk," Jasper admitted reluctantly. "But not now. Meet me at the main clearing where I have been training my group at midnight tomorrow night."

"I would meet you anywhere you want me to," Maria purred seductively.

"Bring Claire too," Jasper snapped abruptly, ignoring the suggestion in Maria's tone and words. "Until then, stay away from my family."

"Anything you want Jasper, my dear," Maria smiled and without another word Jasper turned and stormed off, back towards the house.

When Jasper arrived back at the house the entire family had returned and Emmett and Rosalie were sitting on the couch with their baby, all of the family gathered around to meet her. Jasper stayed back a little, remembering how overwhelmed and surreal he had felt when Brandon had been born. Alice was standing with the group as Brandon and Renesmee met their new cousin when she glanced over at Jasper and she gave him a soft smile. She left Brandon with Esme and slipped away from the group and walked over to Jasper and snaked her arms around his waist.

"Have they named her yet?" Jasper asked as he moved his arms around her.

"Yes," Alice grinned at him. "Angelica Rosalie Cullen. Apparently Angelica was Emmett's grandmother's name."

"It's pretty," Jasper admitted.

"Brandon has already shortened it to Angel," Alice giggled.

"I hope Emmett and Rose don't mind," Jasper frowned.

"They like it," Alice assured him. "I saw what you just did."

"What?" Jasper asked and then he let out a sigh. "You mean going to speak with Maria?"

"Of course Jazz," Alice grinned. "You know I see everything you do."

"Yeah I know," Jasper sighed.

"She'll be at the meeting tomorrow night," Alice said surely. "She will bring Claire but I can see things will go better if you take the other group leaders and make it a formal leaders' meeting."

"Good idea sweetheart," Jasper grinned. "I'll talk to Sierra, Javier, Peter and Charlotte in the morning about it."

"Great," Alice smiled up at him. "And now, forget about the upcoming battle and the troops and come meet our niece."

She tugged on his hand and he laughed as he let her pull him over to where the rest of the family were gathered. When he finally got a look at the baby he had to admit she was absolutely gorgeous. Angelica had got her features and looks from Rosalie's side, except for the shock of dark hair she had inherited from Emmett. The family were all still gathered around fussing over the baby when Oliver's eyes suddenly snapped to Jasper.

"Mom!" Oliver yelled above the noise the family was making. Jasper turned quickly and grabbed Alice as a violent vision overwhelmed her and she slumped towards him.

"Volturi," Edward groaned as he invaded Alice's thoughts and rushed to her side.

"What about them?" Carlisle frowned.

"Jazz," Alice whimpered as she buried her face on his chest and then lifted her eyes to meet his, her vision gone and her eyes now clear again.

"What did you see sweetheart?" Jasper asked with concern.

"We have two days," Alice whispered.

"Until?" Emmett asked.

"The Volturi come," Edward groaned.

"They will arrive early Sunday morning," Alice added. "Aro has made the decision. They will arrive just after sunrise."

"How many?" Jasper asked.

"Lots," Alice whispered. "The entire family, their guard and as many vampires as they could get on their side. At the moment it is at least one hundred."

"And they will be here Sunday morning?" Jasper sighed.

"Yes," Alice nodded.

"Then we will be ready for them," Jasper said firmly and pulled her into his arms, sensing how upset she was from her vision.
