Authors Notes.

Well, there you have it we have reached Chapter 30. At this point I would say there are around ten more chapters at the most to go. But don't hold me to that. I can tell you now that there will be a follow on story with all Cullen and Cullen-Black characters including the children The story is already being written and is called 'Seance'. I don't know yet if it will be chaptered or not. As I am only a few paragraphs into it. But I do know that writing this story has filled my days with laughter and tears, and also caused me a lot of frustration, with writers block. It helped me to recover from my break in, and I have made new friends. For all this I thank each and every one of the over 8000 readers who have read it. Now onto the chapter. Before you start I just wanted to say that some of this chapter is repeating what Jake said in the previous chapter, so please read and enjoy.

Chapter Thirty

Jasper POV

I was in my bedroom, just thinking about everything that had been going on around me. Alice was with Nessie, waiting for results of the tests that Carlisle performed. Bella and Edward were at the cottage, I knew exactly what they had been up to with my ability, I had felt a surge of passion and erotic feelings coming from the direction of their cottage. An hour after I had felt their passion I felt a huge surge of relief, then through the open window I smelt their scent along with Jacob running towards the house. Something big had happened.

'Edward, is everything all right?' I thought as I heard them running into the house.

'Carlisle, everyone come down, we have news. Alice carry Nessie down please.' Edward called out to everybody in the house.

'What is it, what have you found out?' Alice asked as she brought Nessie down in her arms.

'Please just sit down everybody, get comfortable, because this is a long story.' Bella said.

'Jacob, will you repeat what you told Bella and I please.' Edward said.

I listened closely as I heard Jacob start.

'This situation of vampire hybrid and wolf as you know has never happened before. But mortal and wolf has happened. Many years ago ago, before the treaty was in motion even before Taha Aki was the Great Chief, this happened. A mortal woman, from the village of Forks, was imprinted on by a man from the reservation. They were married under the power of the full moon, by a Witch. It was called Hand Fasting. This Witch, she did not know of the tribes abilities of shifting, but after the ceremony she proclaimed, that the mortal woman, would never be magical like the members of the tribe. She said that the mortal woman would give life to a very powerful man who would one day become a Great Chief of the tribe. He would be very magical, and lead the tribe to many victories over their enemies. The Witch left soon after. The mortal woman's marriage was blessed with many children, when she was older in her forties she found that she was bearing a child, this pregnancy was hard on her she was very ill in the first few days of her pregnancy, they had no way of knowing who or what she was carrying. It was discovered by the Witch that she was carrying a man who could change his shape into all manners of beings, a very powerful magical man. This man could make his spirit soar over the earth. A few weeks into her pregnancy the woman was visited by a spirit man, who claimed that he was her son. This man explained that she was carrying him, and he was growing quickly due to the magic running through his veins. He didn't give her his name but he said that the pregnancy would be over quickly, after just four months, she would give birth naturally to a large healthy baby who would live to a great age, and become a great leader. The woman unfortunately died during the child's third year of life. Protecting him against the tribal enemies that had visited their homes she lost her life, and her battle for protection. The child was taken. He returned when he was a man and became the leader of the tribe. He married and his wife gave birth to Taha Aki, the tribal line followed on and on throughout generations, and finally it came to my family and Nessie. She is carrying the next great warrior, she is going to give birth to William in four months time. It may be longer we don't know, but Alice said the vision takes place not long after William is born.'

'He is right. Mom, you will give birth to me naturally and you will not die in the process, but your life may come to an end, protecting our family from your enemies. This is history repeating itself. We cannot stop the process of life or death, but we can prevent it. You need to give birth to me then fight for all of our lives.' William's spirit spoke up.

'But surely our battle to survive, comes to a good ending, because you are here in Spirit form as a grown man?' I asked my son.

'Yes, in some ways it does Mom, but that is not always the case. Another reason for me being here, is to stop you from dying. I need to prolong your life by being here. I can't go through my life again, knowing that I was part of the cause of your death. That my sisters and I had to grow up without knowing our beautiful mother properly, it isn't right.'

I was crying softly to myself. Knowing that having children would make my death inevitable and cause my children to be raised without a mother was too much for me to handle. Somehow I will win, I will fight for their lives, and for mine, I have to.

Jasper POV

I knew that we had to prepare a lot of things for the coming battle so I thought to Edward 'I am going to email, text and call everyone that we know to get them here, they already know about the battle and what we are to face. They need to get here as soon as possible so we can start training those who need it.'

Edward nodded once, to show that he understood me, and I stood up and quickly ran upstairs to Carlisle's office, he had lists made out of every single vampire we knew who would fight with us.

I set to work quickly typing out the email.

"It's on" I wrote. "Cullen – Volturi battle, commences. Nessie is pregnant, we have hardly any time to train as we all need to do. This has been coming for a while we all know it. Please arrive within the week. Wrap up all your business as you see fit. Leave Wills for everything if you need to just to be on the safe side of things. I will be calling and texting as well in case you don't get this email. I will book your flights from this end, so you can pick your tickets up at the airport to save time. If you can just text or BBM me to let me know where you want to fly from I will have your tickets ready. If you have any problems let us know, thank you. Love to all from The Cullen and Cullen-Black families."

I filled out the To section with the names of everybody on Carlisle's list, they were already in the address book on the email account so it was done quickly and efficiently.

Then taking my Blackberry I BBM'd everybody I could think of who wasn't on the list, then sent text messages to them all as well. Next was calling everybody we had their numbers set on speed dial, so all I had to do was press the button, and wait for the answer. It was quickly done, I told them what I had said in the emails so they were all prepared ready to go.

I knew that I had to get Edwards help with the travel arrangements.

'Edward, can you help with travel arrangements please, I've sent you details in email, I'll do the other half of them it will take too long to do them all myself.'

Two minutes later, a message came through on my Skype account. 'Edward is signed in' I knew then that he had got my message and was reading quickly through the email, getting things ready for the travel, it was easier done when there was two of us doing it all.

'Seriously you can't do this on your own?' The computer pinged with a chat message.

'Come on Edward, don't start, I'm helping you enough as it is by getting in touch with everybody. The least you can do is help with the travel arrangements!' I typed back.

'Sorry Jazz I just want to be with Bella and Nessie. Have you heard back where they want to fly from?' He asked.

'Yeah, Russians, are all in London at the moment, visiting with Jamie's Coven, so book for them from Heathrow 6 tickets, Jamie, Sophie, Daniel, Anastasia, Polotrav and Anya. French Coven are still in Paris so book from there. They need to be here within the week. They are finishing everything up today so should be able to fly out from tomorrow. Thanks Edward, I promise I'll make it up to you.'

'Yeah, you better LOL.' The computer pinged one last time, before it came up that Edward had logged out of Skype.

I went onto Seattle First Class Travel, and went ahead booking tickets for everyone else Garrett, Mary, Peter and Charlotte, Randell, Charles and Makenna. I booked tickets for the Amazons, and for Alistair, just in case he decided that he wanted to help us this time around. The Romanians, the Irish, the Egyptians, and finally I phoned our cousins in Denali, to see if they wanted me to book tickets for them.

I dialled their number and it connected ringing only once before it was picked up.

'Hello' came the voice on the other end.

'Eleazar, its Jasper. I'm booking tickets for everyone, have you checked your messages?' I asked.

'Oh, Yes Jasper. I've checked the messages, all the tickets are booked, it would be easier and quicker to fly, we should be arriving in the morning. I have a car already so we don't need anyone to meet us. I bought the new Mercedes, and it is waiting in Seattle at the long term parking lot for us. Our flight lands at 6.30 tomorrow morning, so we should be with you traffic permitting by 7.30, 8.00 at the latest.'

'Perfect Eleazar. Esme has finished all the renovations. She has been working hard, and built a whole new wing onto the house. It holds rooms for everybody coming. I'll let her know when you are arriving, and your rooms will be ready, and thank you Eleazar, I knew we could count on family.' I said into the phone.

'Don't worry about it Jasper, family always helps out, we will see you tomorrow.' He said before hanging up.

I finished up on the computer, making sure all the tickets where going to be ready for everyone to pick up at the respective airports for the next few days, they were open tickets so they could fly on any day.

I turned the computer off, got up and went downstairs, I could hear laughter coming from the kitchen, it was good to hear laughter in the house for once. Nessie's rang out like a bell tinkling she seemed better.

'Esme' I said looking over to where she was standing by the stove cooking up a storm obviously 'everybody will be arriving within the next week, Denali, tomorrow morning 8.00 am at the latest. I thought I should let you know.'

'Thank you Jasper, I will get everything ready for them in the new wing, even though it has been hard the past few months what with everything over our heads, I have enjoyed getting the new wing done. It takes a persons mind off things.' Esme said to me before going off towards the new wing of the house, to get the rooms ready.

At least we had everything sorted now. Our family and extended family was coming to us in our time of need. Ness needed to live she needed to raise her family in the way a mother knows how. We were all on track for survival.
