EPILOGUE
--Three years after the fight with the Volturi--
So here we are, the day that I didn't think would ever come. The day that both Bella and I looked forward too. Our first child. Bella swore it was a boy with the way the baby moved but I had money on a girl. Even the pack had their bets. I think it was twenty on a girl and forty on a boy. I chuckled as I sat outside the doctors office awaiting for Bella to return. She was due any day now. The doctor wanted to make sure everything was going the way it should.
The door opened and I saw my Bella walking out. She glowed, her cheek rosy and looked like she had been crying. I jumped up and got to her side before she saw me. "Honey, what's wrong," I wrapped my arm around her kissing her forehead. She chuckled, "Nothing Jake. It's nothing."
As I looked at her the door opened up, Carlisle walked out with a grin from ear to ear. "Any day now," he squeezed Bella's shoulder. I looked down at the love of my life, "You have been crying?" She nodded her head, "Yes. I was hoping he would tell me to go home and that he would induce me." She looked over to Carlisle, who was still grinning. "I told her no and to go home. I'm only a call away Bella. You know I'll be there in a snap." He winked at her. She smiled. I laughed and kissed her on the forehead again. "Come on Bells, she will come when ready. Let's go home, it's a long drive back to La Push. Thanks Carlisle."
Bella hugged me tight,"It's a boy not a girl", she whispered. I laughed as we walked out to the truck. Yea, still had the truck. Cullen's offered to buy us a car to help protect Bella and the new baby but she refused. She was so stubborn but I didn't know how I felt about them even offering. She was my wife and I was to provide for her not them.
I remember the day I married her, like it was yesterday. We did a small wedding in the Cullen's backyard. Simply with only friends and family. Alice wanted to go full out Wedding Day magnizine wedding but Bella didn't want that. She looked goregous in a slip like wedding dress that Alice found. We were married by my father, in tribal ceramony. The pack howled when it was all done and over.
I snapped back into reality when Bella's cellphone rang as I turned into my dad's driveway. Tonight we were going to his place for supper with him, Susan, and Charlie. We had our own place right down the road, but it was his place this Friday.
I glanced over to Bella as she reached in her bag, flipping it open with a huge smile. "ALICE," she squealed. I shook my head as I put the drive into park. "I miss you! When are you coming to see me?.... What?....Wait, huh?....Oh okay, umm okay we won't be home,...oh okay. Sure...okay see you." Bella looked down at her phone as she closed it.
"Bella, is everything okay," I asked with worry in my voice. Bella looked up at me with tears starting to form. I pulled her towards me, "What is it?" Bella started to shake as tears fell. Next thing my door opened on the truck and I saw a familiar face. "Alice," I mumbled. Bella started to cry harder. "Alice what is going on?"
There was sadness and happiness in those golden eyes. "I had a vision but I need to burrow Bella for a few. I can't get her full vision with you by her. Please, I need to take Bella for a while." Alice was scared, she was actually worried about something. "What did you see Alice?" The little pixie of a vampire shook her head, "Jacob I don't know what it was that's why I need Bella. Please, Bella come on."
Bella looked up at me with swollen, red eyes, "Tell Charlie I'll be back soon. I love you Jake." She leaned in and kissed me deeply on the lips. I pulled her closer to me and kissed her harder. I didn't know what was going on but if Alice needed her than I could deal.
I pulled away and placed my hands on both sides of her face. "I love you too, Que Quowle," as I moved my left hand down to Bella's belly. "You too," I mumbled. Bella gave me another quick kiss and jumped out of the truck.
I turned to look at Alice, "She's about ready to have the baby Alice. Please don't stress her to much." Alice sighed, "It's about the baby and Edward, Jacob. I need to get her away from the tribe so I can clearly understand what is going on. I'll bring her back soon. I promise." The baby and Edward? Damn that Edward, always in the way.
Don't get me wrong, we have come to an agreement. He has actually is a cool guy. He is still over protective of Bella so when he told us he was going to the Amazon, I was happy. He has been down there with Tessy for close to two years now. He writes Bella and tells her that he is happy. Many distractions so he doesn't have to worry about her. Which in a way hurts Bella but yet, she's happy that he has found happiness. He said that he was going to come home sometime after the baby is born to met her, him, it...whatever.
I jumped out of the truck and watched Alice walk Bella to her car. As they pulled away I saw Bella blow me a kiss. I smiled at her and did the same. I turned and started to walk towards the house when Sam came out from the treeline.
"Sam, what's up?" I stopped and turned to look at him. He was looking a little older but not by much. Since the Cullen's still came around we are still wolves when needed. "There is a vampire running around here. I was taking Elizabeth for a walk and came across the scent."
Elizabeth, my mind traveled to the little brown hair, dark eyed toddler of Sam and Emily. My body froze, "Was the scent someone we knew and was Seth with you guys?"
Seth had imprinted on Elizabeth. He was always with her when he wasn't in school. Almost the whole pack had imprinted besides Leah, and a few others. Sam shook his head to both, "No scent not familiar, nor was Seth with us." I growled deep in my chest. "I'll be right back."
I ran up on the porch and my father was already in the doorway. "Go, we will save you and Bella a plate." I nodded at my father when Charlie came into view. "Hey Charlie, Alice came and took Bella for a road trip. I have something to do for the tribe real quick, we will both try to be back before you leave, if not have a good evening." Charlie smiled, "Okay kiddo. Maybe next time then." I nodded, turned and jumped off the porch. I continued my run until I hit the treeline.
Sam was on my heels as we morphed and went toward the area where the scent was. 'What is going on Jake?' Sam asked, I snorted. 'I don't know. Alice came and got Bella saying something is going on with Edward and the baby. She can't make the visions out so she needed to take Bella with her to hopefully clear them up.'
As we came around a corner we hit the scent. We followed it to the old Cullen's home and then up the hillside, back to the field, and then off to the cliff where we lost the trail. 'Someone looking for the Cullen's.' Sam said it more as a statement than a question.
'I want rotations started again. Tell everyone that starting tonight, I want two on patrol.' Sam nodded his head and took off. I turned my head back and looked out over the sea. I knew it wasn't Victoria, we killed her. It could be the Volturi however. Tessy said they might come back but why? Were they looking for the Cullen's again and what for? I saw something far out in the sea, something black in the water. It wasn't there a few minutes ago and just as I thought that it disappeared into the water. Vampire, I growled.
I sat on the edge of that cliff until Leah's heavy foot prints hit behind me. 'Go home Jacob. I'm sure Bella is worried.' I huffed and stretched my hide legs. 'Thanks Leah. That leech jumped off here and even had the nerve to look back at me. I think someone should patrol this area and the other should patrol the woods. Stay close though just in case. In the morning I'll come out and we will search the areas." Leah shook her head and sat on the edge where I had been. 'Seth, you take the woods. I'll stay here for a bit.' Seth, I thought. 'Yes sis. No worries Jake, I'm good. Just glad Sam was with her when this happened. Jared said that he'll be out too, after Jade goes to bed.'
Jared and Kim just received their first child, Jade. She was only a few months old and was just as pretty as her mom. I was glad that he offered to come out. 'Okay gang, going to go see if Bella is back. Come get me if you need too.' I took off towards home.
When I came to the treeline of our home, I saw the truck and Alice's car. Interesting. I phased back and walked up on the back porch. Since I ripped my clothes I was naked so I wasn't going to go through the front door. Lucky I designed the layout for our home so the baby's room and ours were near the back porch.
I walked in the house, quietly closing the back door and walking quietly to our room. "Jacob I need, oh lord," I heard Alice's voice behind me. I glanced over my shoulder and saw Alice not even a foot away from me with her hand over her face. Bella came around the corner and gasped. I smiled at Bella and walked into our bedroom.
"You could have warned me Jake," Alice shrieked. I snorted and then yelled back at her, "That's why I went through the back door so you didn't see Alice. Not my fault you're nosy." I heard Alice gasp and then heard her soft feet walk away back into the living room. Bella walked in and looking me all over. "Vampire," she whispered. I nodded my head and turned towards her.
I was standing naked in front of her. Her eyes trailed down my body to where my cock was responding to her stares. She licked her lips and then her eyes came to mine. I growled low in my chest and started towards her. "Oh no Jake, get dressed we have company." She stepped out of the doorway while closing the door behind her.
I finished getting some clothes on and walked out to the living room where they awaited me. As I walked out there I noticed that there were more people than I thought. Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, and Alice were waiting for me. Bella was in the kitchen making sandwiches, I'm assuming for her and me. "And what do I owe the pleasure to have the Cullen's in my home?" I threw myself unto the couch waiting for someone to answer. No one moved or said anything.
I looked to Alice and she huffed, "Okay fine. I took Bella because I kept getting flashes. I was hoping with her being away from you it might help me see, but it didn't. Since you are involved with all this I'm still getting glimpses. The Volturi seems to be planning another attack. They have someone stalking around here looking for us. They have somehow found out Bella is pregnant and wonders if the child will have the same abilities as Bella. They have no plans on harming Bella or the child that I see, but they will be watching. I'm get flashes of black hair with red eyes, and then black hair with golden eyes. Then I see Edward with a shadow and then I see ashes. I'm confused but we came back to help protect and find out who this shadow is."
My eyes shot to Jasper, who had a concerned look on his face but was trying his best to control everyone's mood. Carlisle stepped forward, "Jacob with your permission we would like to help you. Go on patrol with the pack. I'm hoping we might recognize the smell. I have talked to Eleazar and we both think that they have sent a new member since we know all their smells but I want to make sure. This figure might kill my son so I want to make sure."
I looked at him puzzled, kill his son. They I remember Alice's one flash of being Edward with the shadowed figure and then ashes. Edward's ashes? I nodded my head, "That's acceptable. I'll tell the tribe and we will make the arrangements. Will you be back at the house?" Carlisle nodded. "So be it, we will join up in hopes of taking care of this. Where is Emmett and Rosalie?"
Alice spoke up, "I called them. They will be here in a few days. Edward is also on the way even though I told him not too. He is worried about Bella and the baby." I nodded and pulled Bella closer to me. I heard her sniffle and looked down at her. She was silently crying. "Bella, please don't cry. Everything will be fine." She shook her head, "It's not that." Her eyes came to mine and I looked at her puzzled. "Then what?"
Carlisle spoke this time, "Alice saw Bella having the baby tonight." Jasper with his southern drawl added, "She's scared and worried. Also happy and excited." Both Bella and I looked at him. His sideways smile and then he huffed at Bella, "What?" I looked over at Bella and she was glaring at him. I chuckled a little and looked back to Carlisle. "That's why you brought your bag than." Carlisle smiled and nodded, "I figured it would be easier to do it here due to the new information of our vistor."
I looked over at Bella and she smiled weakly. "When," I whispered to Alice. "I'm not 100% sure on that. If I were to guess, it will be very soon." She shoot up out of the seat and was pushing Jasper out of the house. Bella's eyes became big, "I think I just peed my pants." Carlisle jumped into action, "Come on Bella. It's time."
My heart went to my throat. Oh my, this can't be happening. I'm not ready, I'm going to be a father soon. Carlisle picked up Bella and rushed her back into our room. I followed right behind him. "What can I do Carlisle?" He whispered, "Get me a cold wash cloth, a nightgown if she has one. If not get me one of your tee-shirts. Then it's the waiting game." He turned his attentions back to Bella. "Bella, sweetheart, your water just broke. Now since this is your first child it's going to be a long delivery, typically. Now when you start to feel the pain let me know cause I need to time them." Bella whimpered, "Now, it just started." I turned to go get the things he needed. "Good Bella, now breath through it. Good, see I told you the classes would help."
As I walked out toward the kitchen Esme came up to me. "Anything you want me to do Jacob. You look a little green, you okay?" Typically mother, "I'm fine. Ummm...Carlisle said he needs cold rag and I need to find Bella a nightgown or something. Umm....other than that...." The room started to get a little out of focus. I heard Esme whisper my name but I didn't respond.
My ears were ringing and I smelled something weird. It smelled like hospital. Bella. My eyes came open and I could see the kitchen all around me. I blinked a couple of times trying to figure out why I was on the floor. Next I see Esme leaning over the counter. "You okay Jacob? You past out on me." I sat up and my head spun again. "I think so," then I heard Bella scream. I jumped up and started to run towards the room but Esme was in front of me. "Jacob, she's in labor. Are you sure you are okay?"
I didn't know but I needed to be there with Bella. Bella screamed again and I growled out, "Let me in there." Esme dropped her hands and let me by. When I made it to the door I gasped. Carlisle was working on something in Bella's arm. Bella was panting, her breathing uneven. "Bella," I gasped. Her eyes came to mine, "Jacob." She raised her available hand and waved me to her.
"Bella you are about 5 centermeters now. If you want I can give you an epidural to help with the pain but we have to do it now if so." Bella was looking up at me. "It's all up to you Bells." She looked back to Carlisle, "Please." Carlisle nodded and went to his bag. "Jacob I need for you to help Bella sit up and she needs to lean into you. Yes, just like that."
I whispered into Bella's ear as the good doctor worked on her. He got the epidural in and I laid Bella back down. She drifted into sleep. I looked up at Carlisle which I must have shown panic. He smiled, "It's okay. Sometimes that happens, let her sleep. She will need to push soon and she will need her strength." I saw the wash cloth laying on the bed. I grabbed it and placed it on Bella's forehead.
Several hours gone by and about ten minutes of Bella pushing and Renesmee Sarah Black arrived. Bella came up with her first name, a mixture of Renee and Esme. I liked it but it was a mouth full, so I already made a nickname of Nessie. Sarah was for my mother, since she had a lot of to do with Bella and I even being together.
As I held my daughter everything was peaceful. Alice and Jasper had returned to see Bella and Nessie. Alice adored my angel and Jasper thought she was a pretty pup. I glared at him while he laughed.
A few days have past since Nessie was here. She had everyone wrapped around their fingers, including the Cullens. Nessie eyes were a golden color, almost the same as the Cullens. Her hair was black with long black eyelashes. She was always smiling and cooing at the Cullens. Edward, Emmett, nor Rosalie had shown up yet. Alice was starting to worry. Every time she looked into the future she saw the same thing. Long black hair standing beside Edward and then a pile of ashes.
Few more days had past, Bella was feeling better and making dinner for Nessie when Emmett came barreling through the door without knocking. "Sis, where is my niece?" I snorted and Bella ran into Emmett's arms. "She's in there with her daddy." Still felt weird to hear that. I'm a father. Emmett followed Bella into the family room where I had Nessie on my lap.
It was almost like Nessie sensed a Cullen, her eyes shoot towards the door. Emmett gasped, "She's gorgeous." His smile couldn't get bigger. I laughed and shook my head. Then I heard clicking of heels, Rosalie? A tall blonde came around the corner and looked at Nessie. Rosalie's face was hard but seemed to soften the more she looked at the little angel.
"May I hold her," Emmett asked. I smiled, "Sure brother." I picked up Nessie and walked over toward Emmett. "Nessie this is your uncle Emmett, and this is..." I stopped because I didn't want to say Aunt if she didn't want it. I looked over to Rosalie and she smiled, "your aunt Rosalie," she whispered. Rosalie reached for Nessie and Nessie squirmed towards her.
I let Rosalie take her and I actually saw Rosalie's face soften more. She was cooing and doing baby talk. I heard the door open and I looked over Rosalie shoulder to see the Cullen family with some addition. Bella gasped, "Edward! Tessy!"
Tessy was radiant and looking as beautiful as ever with those reddish gold eyes. I raised my eyebrow at her and she smiled more. Edward was still as tall as I remembered. His hair still all over the place and those golden eyes. He smiled as Bella charged towards him to give him a hug.
"Now, that the family is all back together. What are we going to do about this new visitor?" Alice spoke up. We still hadn't caught the visitor and it was no one that the Cullen's knew. Alice had more flashes of the Volturi and this long black haired figure talking to them. Then she would get the flash of Edward and the figure.
Tessy spoke up, "I'm here to help. Figure out this intruder and protect the new member." Everyone looked at her puzzled. "You haven't figured out yet have you?" Everyone continued to stare at her. She looked to Edward and he looked stunned. His eyes came back to Tessy, "Can't be?" Tessy nodded her head, "She is your la tua cantante."
Everyone looked as confused as me. "But, Bella is that. I don't understand," Edward whispered toward Tessy. Tessy smile got bigger, "My dear look at your feelings. When you hugged Bella did you want her like before." Edward's eyes went to Bella and then back to Tessy. "No," he mumbled. Tessy walked over to Nessie, "May I," she asked Rosalie. Nessie wiggled to get to Tessy. Tessy smiled, "Un angelo così bello." Nessie cooed as Tessy walked over towards Edward. I watched as Edward stiffened with every step. "Isto não pode ser possível," Edward stumbled away.
"I have never seen this, never heard of this," Carlisle gasped. "Hold her Edward," Tessy walked towards Edward more. He hissed but don't move anymore. He stood there stiff as a board. "You won't hurt her Edward," Alice reassured him. Edward let his hand to come out to touch Nessie and she grabbed Edward's finger. Edward gasped and Nessie cooed. Tessy looked back to all of us. "This is a very special child. She will join the wolves and vampires together forever." Carlisle stepped towards Tessy, "I don't understand. Every study I have done said there is only one la tua cantante. How is this possible?" Tessy looked back to Edward, who was now smiling down at Nessie. "Jacob's family helped with this. Since Edward didn't get Bella, and Nessie has the same blood as Bella."
Alice gasped, "That's who is in my flashes." Tessy smiled, "Yes, you are seeing the future of them together." Everyone was watching Edward and Nessie. "Tessy do you know who it is that is running around here," Carlisle asked.
Tessy nodded, "A new recruit for the Volturi. They found out that Bella is pregnant and they know what Nessie is going to do. They are hoping to destroy her and destroy you Edward." Edward's eyes came up to Tessy, "No worries. When they plan to attack, she will be strong and ready. Permaneça com seu cantor. Ame-a, protetor a, protege a sua família. Amo-o e eu estarei correto aí ao lado de você." Tessy gave Nessie to Edward.
All I could think is, what the.....
***Hehehehe....sorry I had to do it. I'm thinking about making a sequel to this. I don't know when and it won't be in Jacob's point of view. It will either be Alice's or Edward's.
