Chapter 15

I am giggling at my children. This is going better than I have expect.

Esme is up off the couch and is cleaning up the mess Piper began. My Piper I know she is going to give me a handful when she gets older, this proves my theory.

"I am so sorry for Piper's behavior, I know she knows better." I say to Esme feeling a little guilty at the mess Piper made.

"No it fine Bella, they are just kids. It's my kids that I am a little disappointed in." She crinkles her nose.

Edward wraps his arms around me pulling me closer to him; I can feel Carlisle eyes on me. I know that he wants to pry for more info on werewolves. I can't really go into details it just hurts to much, but what I could do is correct the information that he already has. Right? Or I hope I can do that, he is just curios.

I sigh, "Carlisle what do you know of werewolves?"

"All I know are legends and hear say. The Volturi didn't care for them much, only because Caius almost was killed by one." He gets a distasteful expression.

"Well you tell me some of these legends and hear say, and I will tell you if they are true or not and if they aren't true I will tell you the correct thing and maybe explain a little" I make the deal, hoping that this will be good enough. One thing Michel did was tell me stories of his heritage and werewolves; they were the only things he truly loved.

"Ok," He gets a smile, awesome he can handle my compromise.

"Well, I heard, or it's said that they only change at night when the moon is fully raised in the sky. And they can't control themselves when they have changes, and they are most uncontrollable when it's a full moon." He begins with.

"Not completely true. Yes they do change when the moon is raised in the sky and they can't stop themselves. But if they were born a werewolf, they call themselves full blood, and then they can control themselves when they are changed. If you were bitten and changed that way then it takes hundreds of years to develop the skill to control yourself. The full moon thing is false though, it plays no effect on them." I don't look at anyone, I feel ashamed talking about this but I know it needs to be told, just in case something happens to me, someone should tell the twins their heritage.

"Interesting, I also heard that their venom is extremely painful to a victim."

"Um, John, one of Michel's pack member, he told me that it numbs you, like paralyzes you. You can hear, see and even smell, but you can't do anything, can't scream, blink and then eventually you can't breathe anymore. But when that happens it's usually the signal that it's almost over. I really don't know how they survive the fact they are suffocating." That has always been one of my questions it never made sense to me, but whatever I guess.

"Wow, um, oh I heard that they travel alone but I guess that is not really true."

"Well actually, it's very rare to have a pack that really didn't develop till the Volturi decided to kill them off; they adapted and learned that being together is safer. But the catch is that a full blood is the only one that can start a packed and it very rare to have more than one full blood in a pack, unless they are mates or maybe siblings."

"This is fascinating; I have never thought that I would ever learn so much about werewolves. Is it normal for werewolves to get gifts?"

As I shift my mind for memories, for anything that Michel could have told me about werewolves having gifts I couldn't find any. So I guess my children are the first of their kind to have a gift.

Then a thought occurs to me, Edward must have said something about Piper and Chris having gifts.

"Edward told you that my children have gifts?"

He expression goes from happy to shocked, "Um no, it's just that vampires sometimes are lucky and get gifts, such cases as Edward, Alice and Jasper. I also know of many other that also have great abilities. Your children have gifts?"

"Yeah, I am surprised that Edward hasn't informed you guys" I look at Edward who has a sheepish expression.

"I thought that you should be the one to explain and tell them" He replies in a velvet voice. I can't help but smile it was a very considerate thought.

"Well, Piper can see the past, Chris sees the future, Chris also can see people worst fears and Piper can see their hopes. Chris can't read other people's minds but his sisters, and when they do touch each other their power intensifies. And as you can see Piper can read other people's minds. The only gifts that work on me anymore are their gifts of future and past. But I doubt they are done developing gifts." I smile my talented children.
"That is just amazing. When they come back in can they show us? Only if it is ok with you of course."

"Not me, if they want to show you then they can, though they are only two they have minds of teens." I respond knowing that they would be more than happy to show off.

Alice POV

I am hiding behind a tree with Piper, the teams have shifted to Piper and me, Chris and Emmet, Rose and Seth and Jasper is still on his own.

We stopped with the eggs and are playing tag, with a little wrestling involved. I see that we are going to be at this tree for a while so I figure I should get to know Piper. So far what I have observed she is very smart and can be conniving. When she was tagged it she tagged Emmet and Jasper without being seen.

"Alice, do you want to know how you got changed?" She turns to me, her beautiful black curls frame her face, and her green eyes are very piercing.

"You know?" I ask amazed that she could know, and then I remember that I had a vision of this conversation.

"Yes"

"Please tell me" I plea, I always wanted to know how I came to be.

Her eyes go white then her voice grows distant.

"You were in an insane asylum; your parents didn't know what to do with you because you had visions. You were always drugged up and in a small room. A doctor began to favor you, he was a vampire. Another vampire smelled you wonderful aroma and wanted you, so he began to hunt you. The vampire doctor didn't want him to have you so he bites you and changed you when the other vampire found this out he killed him in revenge for taking that away from him."

If I could cry or even tear up I would, so he wanted to be with me, he wanted to teach me but couldn't.

"Do you know what the name of the place was called?" I ask; her eyes are still white.

"The Bartonville State Asylum" Then her eyes go back to the bright green, and she smiles.

"I granted you your greatest hope, you wanted to know how you came to be and there you go." She runs off to tackle Emmet, Jasper comes up from behind me, and hugs my waist.

"Are you ok love?" He asks me with compassion, he must have been there the whole time.

"Yes, I feel complete." I smile and kiss him.

Rose POV
When Piper threw the egg and hit me, I was so pissed, but I turned and seen her face, you could obviously tell how sorry she was. I knew then I need to play, to get to know her more. I can already see Chris being Alice's and I little guinea pig, and that is going to be so much fun.

So here we are outside because Bella suggested it, I like Bella she is defiantly meant to be a mother, and she was mothering us to go outside for Esme sake. She and Esme are going to get along great.

I don't know how I got paired with this dog, not that he is that bad, he stinks horribly but he is very cleaver. We haven't managed to get tagged yet and we have tackled Emmet and Jasper once each and we haven't caught Alice, Piper or Chris.

From what I have got from Piper is she is a happy go lucky camper, she wants to explore and do things, but she is not a girly girl. She wants to be like and boy, they way she runs and acts. Yes she has those lady qualities but that it's. It must be from being around all men and only Bella and poor Bella has so much on her plate. I shall take it upon myself to help Bella out and turn Miss Piper into a proper lady, and the boys can have fun with Chris. Chris is a very shy little boy, a mama's boy, and doesn't seem to mind.

I see that Piper has tackled Emmet yet again, so Seth and I climb down from out hiding spot and join everyone else, we arrive to find Emmet throwing Chris into the air, oh I wish to have a child of my own. I would give up everything to get to have a family.

Emmet POV

Chris is listening for his sister, finally I have a good advantage on people, all I have is my brute force everyone else an ability and uses it.

He is a cool little kid, I think I will get along with him better then Piper, he is laid back and he love his mom, that's all he keeps asking me if his mom will be ok alone at the house.

"She is talking to Alice about her past, we should leave her alone and go for Seth and Rose, and they are up in a tree closet to the house." Chris whispers to me.

"How do you know that lil'dude" I ask, this kid knows where everyone is hiding it's so cool.

"I don't know, I just think of them and then I see them" He shrugs his shoulders.

"Can I call you Uncle Emmet? Though I see you more as a big brother, and we are going to get closer, but I want to make sure you are ok with me calling you that?" Chris's brown eyes show nothing but seriousness.

"Of course, so do you care if I call you lil'dude?"

"No I like it" He smiles and hugs my leg; man my heart is getting all fuzzy.

"Piper is coming to tag us run!" He dashes off and I follow after him, but I feel her littler body jump onto my back.

"Got you" I her Piper giggle.

"Oh yeah," I gently pull her off my back and throw her into the air, she goes up about twenty feet, she lets a little scream then I catch her,

"That is awesome! Chris try this" Piper climbs down and Chris looks at me. I hold out my arms, he runs into them and I chuck him up about twenty feet, he doesn't scream, he just smiles.

I catch him I see that the rest of my siblings are watching the twins, I put Chris down and h goes and stands by Piper, they are just amazing. I am so glad Edward is with their mom, I don't think I could go another day without these two.

"Mom is done talking to Carlisle and he is interested in our gifts Piper lets go show him" Chris announces.

"Ok, Sethy will you carry me, my legs are tired" She puts out her bottom lip out a little, it was the most adorable thing I have ever seen.

"Ok" He smiles and picks her up, and heads to the house, I look over to Chris he just rolls his eyes at the two of them.

"Chris would you like a ride n my back?" Jasper asks.

"Really?" Chris asks excitedly.

Jasper's POV

"Yeah" I tell Chris, I felt the jealousy subside, and turns to excitement.

I was playing tag ad stuff with everyone but I was mostly observing them, the twins actually. I never been around children and when Edward got involved with Bella I knew that I would have to interact with them. And I really wanted to, I like to be involved with the family, I hate getting the feeling of being outsider.
When they first came through the door I was a little shock at their appearances, I wasn't the only ones, but I also got a wave of pure confidence from them they weren't afraid at all, Bella on the other hand was completely nervous. Then to hear that they are werewolves is I can't really describe, I guess shocking but does explain a lot.

You can tell clearly as day they belong to Bella they look so much like her. I have been among human mothers many times but I have never felt what I felt from Bella from them, her existence is solely for them, every time she looked at them a wave of admiration happiness and love came from her, it's intoxicating.

They are amazingly special too, I was observing Alice with Piper when Piper told Alice about her past, Alice was full of sadness and yet she was happy. She told me that she is complete and also feels like she can live a real life.

Chris is now on my back and we are jogging along with everyone laughing, we keep pace with Seth. Chris's request because he didn't want to beat Piper to the house. He is one of kind that is for sure.

Carlisle POV

Bella is looking around our house from her seat, Edward looks radiant. I am so thrilled that my first son has now found his soul mate, and that he can be a father to the most extravagant kids.

I hear the laughing as the rest of my children come piling through the door, to my surprise Jasper is carrying young Chris on his back, but it's a happy surprise the last two weeks when Edward mentioned bringing them over. Jasper has been frantically researching about children he wanted to know how to behave around them and all kinds of stuff

.Chris jumps off of Jasper and runs to Bella,

"Mom I really like the Cullens, they are aunts uncles and grandma and grandpa, is that ok?" Chris says, if my heart could beat it would be racing with excitement this child wants to call me grandpa, I look over to Esme who could tear up with happiness if she could.

"If they are ok with that" Bella says, she is glowing, I never met such an intriguing young lady. I would never guess that she is only a junior in high school.

"Of course it would be an honor.' Esme coos.

"Ok Piper lets show them what we can do" Chris jumps up excitedly, wow, I am surprise they know that I want to see what they can do.

Bella POV

Chris went up to Emmet, I and his eyes went dark, meaning his was reading people's fears.

Chris then began to laugh so as well as Piper and Edward.

"What?" Emmet looks to their faces, "What's so funny?"

"Squirrels Emmet, really?" Edward's face is trying to be serious but there isn't any way that he is going to keep it up.

"Wha…what about them?" Emmet asks nervously.

"You are deathly afraid of Squirrels" Piper falls to the floor and begins to laugh harder.

Rose just looks at Emmet, most likely questioning herself. But then it breaks out to a smile then she is clutching her sides trying to contain her laughter.

"Big man, a little squirrely gonna hurt you?" Jasper takes his fingers and trails them up Emmet's arm.

"Stop, it's not funny, they are creepy little beasts." Emmet crosses his arms.

"My turn" Piper goes up to Rose, her eyes go white,

"You were engaged, the man you were engaged to was rich, a man that you family approved of…" Her voice stops and she tilts her head. Her eyes go back to green and she runs and hugs Rose.

"I'm sorry Rose, he was an ass hole, you are a brave women." If Rose could tear up she would, I wish that Piper wouldn't talk like that. I think that me and the pack are going to have a little talk about their language around the children.

"It's ok, thank you" Rose kisses the top of Pipers head.

"I won't tell the future" Chris crosses his arms to emphasis his words.

"Ok," Alice says, but you can see how happy she was to see that she wasn't alone when it came to the ability.

"Ok Piper can you show how you read peoples hopes" I ask her.

"Yes," Her eyes go grey this time; she is closest to Carlisle this time. Her eyes go back to green.

"Oh Grandpa, you'll go to heaven, you are too good of a person to think otherwise." She smiles to him and he returns a smile.

"Well that is just amazing, just amazing gifts you have you two." Carlisle sits back down on the couch where Edward and I are. Chris joins us, he climbs onto my lap.

"Can we babysit these two when you and Edward are out?" Alice asks.

"Um well," I look to Seth whose eyes are slowly showing hurt.

"I think that you guys should meet the rest of our family, Seth call up the pack, I think that all you should watch the kids tonight" Seth takes out his cell on dials the number.

"I hope that is ok with you guys?" I ask afterwards, feel kind of stupid for not asking first.

"Yes, that will be splendid." Carlisle gets excited.
