Hey everyone, it's The Happy Emo, and I am happily back! I have been on a long hiatus, but I have gotten new inspiration for this story. Also... it's Kristi's (Kira's) birthday today! So as a surprise present as well, I am updating on her birthday, which coincidentally is also the anniversary of the last time I updated this story. But, have no fear, I will be updating more than once a year :)
I am sorry that I will not put any people who have reviewed because I am rushing to have dinner.
Now... sit back, relax, and enjoy the story!
~Alice's POV~
Ever since Rosalie pulled me away from the hospital, Jazzy has been acting strange. He won't make eye contact with me, and he keeps moving his lips, almost like he is talking to himself. I'm getting kind of worried, Jazzy doesn't usually act like this; no, he never acts like this.
"Uh…" I opened my mouth to say something, but no words came to mind. I sighed, twiddling my thumbs in my lap.
"What's with the little pity party we are having? Do you want to play a game?" Emmett turned around, looking at us from the passengers seat. I shook my head no.
"Good, I'm glad we want to play!" I slumped back in the seat, rolling my eyes. For once, I want to scream at everything. I have all this anger filled inside of me, not knowing where it came from, but knowing it wants to be set free.
"No." I whispered, gritting my teeth. Emmett looked at me, his eyes filled with an unreadable emotion.
"N-" Emmett was just pushing my buttons.
"I said no!" I yelled, looking up at him with angry eyes. "What part of no do you not understand?" Right after I had uttered those words, I felt a wave of guilt flow over me. I blinked, furrowing my eyebrows.
"The hell?" Rosalie said from the drivers seat, looking at me through the rear-view mirror. I shook my head, my mouth ajar.
"I-I'm sorry, Emmett…" I mumbled, expecting him to be pissed, or act like one of those kids who would cry until they got a Band-Aid.
"Damn, munchkin, I never knew you had it in you to yell at someone. You're growing up so fast!" He pretended to wipe an invisible cheer away from his cheek. From the corner of my eye, I saw Jasper looking at me with curiosity and caution.
I smiled slightly, "Yeah… imagine if Edward were here too… I would be yelling my head off…" If I had thought before speaking, I would have known not to bring up Edward. Jasper's hand clenched, his whole demeanor changing.
I put my hand over my mouth, shrinking back into the seat. Maybe if I kept my mouth covered, I wouldn't say anything else stupid. The car fell into an awkward silence once again. I stole glances over at Jasper, a few times locking eyes with him, then looking away. His stares were cold, like he didn't want to be near me. I closed my eyes, pulling my legs up to my chest, making myself into a ball. Sitting like this, I felt the most safe… but I also felt the most alone.
~Jasper's POV~
What the hell was that? She just suddenly exploded at Emmett, not that he didn't deserve it, but this is Alice we're talking about here. There is something bothering her… one minute she is calm, then she gets a surge of anger overcome her, then guilt washes over her… it's almost like she is one mesh of emotions that can't decide which wants to be seen. I want to go over there and hug her, but something is holding me back… if only Rosalie hadn't pulled us away, if only she had let me ask Alice what I had needed to ask her, then this may have been different. For all I know, it could have been the same as it is now, but we'll never know now. Why though? Why did she have to mention Edward? I pinched the skin at the bridge of my nose, trying to figure out the complicity that is Alice Swan. I heard a little melody play, and Alice took out what I could only assume was her cell phone. She pressed many buttons, and then put her phone down, having sent what I can guess was a text message.
My phone vibrated seconds later, I looked at her, praying she would be looking at me too. She was looking down at her hands in her lap. I fished into my jean pocket, taking out my cell phone, seeing I had one new text message from Alice. I looked over at her again, catching her gaze for a mere moment before she looked away. I opened the message; my eyes widened a slight bit at what I read:
Jazzy, why are you mad at me? The last thing I need right now is for you to be mad… I have enough to worry about with other things. Don't try and hide it by saying: 'Alice you are imagining things' because what I imagine will be so much worse then what you think I think about. Being me hasn't been very easy lately.
-Alice
I looked up at her with sympathetic eyes, only to be met with a stare of pure suffering. Her face was blank, but her eyes spoke words to me that only I can understand. Her gaze softened after a few seconds.
"Well?" She whispered, "Are you gonna respond?" Her eyes help a mischievous undertone, sparkling when she smiled. I pressed a few buttons on the phone to turn it back on, and typed a reply.
Love looks not with the eyes but with the mind.
Shall I compare thee to a summer's day?
Thou art more lovely and more temperate:
Rough winds do shake the darling buds of May,
And summer's lease hath all too short a date….
-Jasper
Yep, I'm the kind of guy who quotes Shakespeare to the person I love. She looked down at her phone, smiling when reading the message.
"What the hell are you two doing back there? You better not be doing something dirty!" Emmett turned around again, "You have been quiet, and you are texting nonstop, and when one sends a text, the other gets one… are you two sending texts of-" Emmett was rambling, looking like he was witnessing a scandal.
"No!" Both Alice and I said in unison. I looked over at her, smiling when she looked at me.
"I don't believe you! Kids these days with their cellular phones with all the dirty texting and the 'omg-brb-lyk-my-bff-Jill' and that rap music, with the sagging pants, and-" Emmett was sounding more like our grandfather then, well, our grandfather!
Rosalie sighed dramatically, signaling that if we didn't shut up we would have to listen to her rant, and from what I can tell, Rosalie can rant! Alice silently laughed, reaching over and grabbing my hand. I intertwined our fingers, squeezing lightly. 'Everything will be okay' I wanted to tell her, but truth be told, my saying that it will be won't make it so.
~Emmett's POV~
I looked at Alice and Jasper in the reflection on the mirror, smiling when I saw they were holding hands. I gave Rosalie a thumbs up, and a peace sign. I put my hand out, waiting for her to take my hand. We can be like those stereotypical couples, driving while holding someone's hand. She didn't notice, so I slowly crept my hand closer to her thigh, being as sneaky as possible.
"So help me, Emmett, if you even put one finger up my shorts I will chop off your hand with a fucking butter knife!" Rosalie glared at me, not taking her hands off the wheel. I pouted,
Damn… foiled again.
~Kira's POV~
The car was now fully packed with Paige's luggage. I was sitting in the passengers seat, waiting for the rest of the gang to hurry their asses up and get in the goddamn car. I put my hands on my stomach, smiling.
"At least you're not taking your sweet time to get in the car." I mumbled to the baby. Hey, maybe if I tell Jake that there is a baby in the car they will hurry up… no, he would just move slower to piss me off, and you don't want to piss off a pregnant woman.
"Hey, Jake!" I yelled from the open window, "I have important news to tell you! It's urgent!" Jake ran over to the car and peered in.
"What is it? Is the baby coming?" He looked ready to jump in the car.
"Does it look like I am having contractions or my water broke? No, it's something even more important than that…" I moved my finger, motioning him to come closer. He did. "I'm pregnant." I whispered in an eerie voice.
"Really? I thought you just gained a few pounds." Jake joked back, my eyes widened.
"Oh, hell no you did not just say that!" I ripped off my seatbelt and kicked open the door. I waddled out of the car, a look of death in my eyes. "No way in fucking hell did you just insult me like that, Jacob Black!" Jake smirked at me.
"I think I just did actually." I balled my hands into fists.
"You are a dead man." I growled at him, he showed mock terror. I was about to yell at him more, when I felt a jolt of pain go through me. I winced, what the hell was that? Maybe my yelling was too much.
"Whoa, you okay?" Jacob walked closer to me.
"No, seeing as though my husband just called me fat! Remember whom you are talking too, because I'm the one who is going to be pushing a baby out from my body, not you. You will never feel the pain of childbirth. So, don't bitch to me, because I will not take any of it. Do you hear me? I will have none of it! The Great Kira has spoken!" I clapped my hands loudly to add effect.
"Whoa, settle down you two." Paige walked over to us, Quil following a few feet behind her. I saw him staring at Paige's ass.
"Quil Artichoke you best not be staring at what I think you are staring at, or you will be in a world of hurt!" I cracked my knuckles when finishing that sentence. He smirked at me, crossing his arms.
"Yeah, and what will you do to put me in a world of hurt?" The amusement seeped through his voice, which really pissed me off.
"Quil, I am pregnant. I can get away with anything and blame it on hormones. So don't try me." I pointed at him menacingly. He didn't seem to be phased.
"Quil, she has Paige's parents phone number. She will call them and tell them what we found you both doing when we got to the airport." Jake walked over to me, putting an arm around my shoulders. I smirked, nodding.
"She wouldn't…" Quil's cocky attitude was shattered.
"Oh, believe me, I would. In fact, I have their number on my speed dial…" I whipped my phone out, smiling slyly. As if on cue, my phone began vibrating. I looked at the screen, surprised at who was calling me. I quickly accepted the call.
"Hello?" I put the phone up to my ear.
"Hello, is this a Miss Kira Carmichael?" A lady with a weird accent was on the other line. I could vaguely hear giggling in the background.
"This is the one who was formerly known as she, yes."
"Yes, hi, this is Sarah Bellum… I work for a Mr. Cerebral Cortex. Do you know of him?" I heard definite laughter in the background. I heard someone take the phone.
"Hello… this is a Mr. Cerebral Cortez. How may I help you?" I couldn't help but laugh, quickly recognizing Emmett's voice.
"Emmett, it's 'cortex' not 'cortez'. Why are you calling me?" I leaned on the door of the drivers side, smiling. I couldn't remember the last time Rosalie and I had pranked each other since before I had even met Jake. The last one I had remembered doing was the one from Burger King.
"I forgot why." Emmett responded, I could hear Rosalie sigh loudly at her boyfriend's stupidity.
"Can I talk to her?" I could hear a quiet voice say in the background. I then heard Rosalie decline her request.
"I wouldn't mind-" I stopped talking when I heard little Alice raise her voice.
"Give me the phone, now." I could feel the temperature drop even though I just heard her through the phone. I heard Emmett whine, but I'm guessing he gave the phone over to her.
"Alice, sweetie, why are you calling me on Edward's phone? Do you know how much I despise that fool?" I felt Jake put an arm around my shoulders and one around the back of my legs… oh no.
I was about to protest when he picked me up bridal style and walked me over to the passengers seat and sat me back down.
"Stay in the car." He warned me. I raised my eyebrows, confused at the urgentness that was in his voice. A few moments later, Paige entered the car. The boys closed our door, standing outside of the car, their backs pressed against the car windows.
I tried to look out the window, but all I got was the wonderful view of Jake's ass pressed up against my window. I could be really inappropriate right now, but Paige is in the car so I need to be somewhat of a role model for her.
"Yo, Kirz you still there?" Alice asked into the phone.
"Yeah, hey sorry. I was distracted by Jacob's ass."
"Is this supposed to be new news, Kira?" Rosalie said; my eyes widened.
"Please don't tell me that I'm on speaker phone."
"You are." I heard Edward say.
"The hell you want, Cullen?" I spat into the phone.
"You're talking to us on my phone." He sounded like he thought I was stupid.
"Yes, and how did you get my number, smartass?"
"From someone." I rolled my eyes.
"Very good assumption Captain Obvious. Does this someone have a name?" My voice sounded bittersweet.
"All I'm going to say is that you know her well, but at the same time you don't know her at all." I hissed into the phone.
"Just fucking tell me the name!" I yelled.
"Just hurry up and get here." Edward hung up the phone. I was a few strengths away from breaking the phone with my bare hand.
I looked down at my phone to see a message from Alice with one word on it:
HURRY.
What was the urgency they have all of a sudden? Do they miss me that much?
"Hey Kira… do you know who those people are?" Paige pointed to someone I couldn't see because of the ass that is blocking my view. I crawled to where I could see who she was talking about. When I saw, I quickly ducked to where they couldn't see me; at least I hope they couldn't. Paige soon followed what I had done. I felt a pain go through me again. I winced, taking in a sharp breath.
"Kira?" Paige whispered, I looked at her, smiling, trying to tell her everything was alright.
"Pull out your phone sneakily and text Embry." I whispered. She shook her head no.
"I can't, he will ignore me again." Paige whisper whined.
"Paige, this is not the time!" I whisper yelled, the anger showing through in my eyes, "If not Embry, then text Seth and Morgan!" She nodded and pulled out her phone, texting from under the seat. My phone buzzed again, I looked at it. It was a text from Alice again.
ENEMIES.
That's all the text said. I gulped, texting back.
ALICE STOP WITH THE ONE-WORD TEXTS.
I sent the message and looked back at Paige.
"Has anyone responded?" I whispered to her. She shook her head.
"No… no one has yet." I sighed angrily, biting the inside of my cheek; a nervous habit I have always seemed to possess.
Paige's phone lit up in her hand, I looked at her questioningly. I then quickly glanced back at the window, seeing if they had moved yet, seeing that they hadn't, I looked back at Paige.
"Who responded?" I asked, trying to read the phone upside down. Paige didn't respond to me. She typed a message out, and then turned the light off on her phone. I looked over at the drivers seat, seeing something hanging out of the car ignition. I smirked.
"Buckle up, kid." I quickly moved to the drivers seat, buckling up. "Remember kids, don't try this at home." I looked in the rear-view mirror, seeing Paige strapped in. I adjusted the seat, and locked the doors.
"Ready… set… go!" I turned on the ignition and put the car into drive and stomped on the gas pedal, speeding forward. I saw that Jake and Embry barely moved in time, but they thankfully did. I didn't slow down to see the people that were holding Jake and Embry up, I just drove out of the parking lot of the airport, speedily paying the parking ticket, and sped off in the direction of the Cullen house.
~Jake's POV~
I sighed out of sheer happiness. It sure took her long enough to notice the keys were there. I was afraid that if she had waiting any longer, they would have been toast for sure. I looked over at Embry, who nodded his head quickly.
Now that those two are gone, I have less to worry about now.
~Alice's POV~
What the heck was up with that phone call? I wanted to talk to Kira, Rosalie said no, and when I actually get the phone I heard weird stuff on the other end.
"Alice what's bothering you?" Jasper put an arm around me, pulling me closer. I sighed, not knowing how to explain. Truth be told, even if I knew how to put it into words I know Jasper won't have the answers. I looked up at Edward, waiting for him to look at me.
"Whoa, Munchkinette, if looks could kill… and if Edward wasn't a vampire he would be so dead." Emmett commented. Edward looked over at me, locking eyes with me. Jasper looked from Edward back to me, obviously trying to figure out what was going on.
Edward sighed, "Alice…" My gaze didn't falter.
'What are you not telling us?' I thought to myself. Edward looked pleadingly at me.
"Alice please…" Pleadingly, he came and sat down across from me.
'What are you trying to hide? Edward… What are you not allowed to tell anyone?' Edward sighed, running a hand through his hair.
"Alice-" I cut Edward off.
"I won't stop wondering, Edward. You can't stop curiosity." I saw Jasper furrow his eyebrows, trying to find the meaning in my words. I looked over at Jasper, seeing his mouth move, but I couldn't hear anything. I looked at Edward, everything seemed like it was slow motion. I saw Rosalie and Emmett run into the room. Rosalie ran up to me and crouched down in front of me, grasping my shoulders. I could tell she was yelling at me, but my vision became hazy. I could feel myself go limp, but I wasn't unconscious. I let out an involuntary gasp as my vision left from what was currently happening to something only I could assume was a vision of something that was going to happen in the future.
What I saw was strange. I could see a white room with many people huddling in. I couldn't make out everyone, but who I recognized right away was a very familiar red head: Kira. I could see her holding a blanket, smiling down at it. I saw Rosalie holding another one; they were talking. I couldn't make out what they were saying, but I could tell that whatever they said was a good thing. I jumped when I heard crashing, and I turned, seeing… nothing. I thought I had seen something, but whatever it was, disappeared, along with the weird vision.
"Alice! Alice!" I heard people saying my name repeatedly. I blinked, opening my eyes, seeing Rosalie, Jasper, Emmett, Kira, Paige, Edward, and Carlisle standing over me.
"Huh?" I mumbled, sitting up, blinking a few more times, and shook my head slightly.
"What was that?" Edward asked, I looked up at him.
"You know as much as I know." Or maybe more… I thought to myself. I could tell he heard me.
"Alice, what the hell were those texts about?" Kira leaned over the couch, wincing slightly. I stretched.
"Just checking up on you." I didn't break our gaze, showing her I wasn't lying.
"Shit…" Kira mumbled, moving so she was sitting down next to me, a hand placed on her stomach.
"Kira, are you feeling alright?" Carlise, being the doctor he is and also being a caring person, asked Kira. She nodded, not convincing anyone.
"You're in pain." Jasper bluntly said. Kira glared at him.
"No shit, Sherlock." Kira hissed at him.
"Where's Jake?" Rosalie looked around, "You came in the car without Jake?" Kira winced again, hissing.
"Hey, Preggers, you alright?" Emmett walked over, reaching out to comfort Kira when she screeched. Emmett retreated his hand, cowering behind Rosalie.
"I DIDN'T DO ANYTHING!" He yelled.
"I KNOW THAT DIPSHIT! SOON YOU WON'T BE CALLING ME PREGGERS!" Kira winced again, hissing louder. Everyone stood up, knowing what she meant. Everyone minus Emmett.
"Why can't I call you Preggers soon?" He stood up, trying to pretend he knew what she meant.
"She means she is going into labor!" I yelled, helping Kira stand up. Emmett's eyes widened.
"Is it… bloody?" His voice changed, I looked up at him with confusion. His eyes had darkened a few shades.
"Emmett, calm down. It'll be just a little… blood." She sounded pained when saying the word 'blood'. Jasper was taking in deep breaths, his hand tightening around me. I looked up at him, seeing the stare of a hunger look back at me. I felt Edward come closer to me, he pulled me away from Jasper.
"What the hell!" I yelled at him.
"Alice, they're vampires! You, Kira, and Paige are all in danger because you're human!"
Shit… this is NOT good.
Hi guys! That was our chapter! More will be out soon! Since I have last seen you guys, many things have happened like...
Kira: No way will you tell your whole story of your year.
Me: Why?
Kira: Because it will take you another year to finish talking about your year.
Me: Not true.
Kristi: So true.
Me: Happy birthday! Hope you loved the chapter!
Alice: *walks in* Shannon does not own twilight or its characters. She just owns the plot. Kira belongs to wickedlittleskittle and Paige belongs to RedheadRebelGirl
Shannon: Please tell me what you think!
Like it? Love it? Obsessed with it? Other thoughts? I want to know :)
Until next time, which will be soon. I'll try to put one out in April! But review!
