Emmett was in the kitchen making Bella's sandwich while Jacob just watched. He took out the cutting board and set in on the island then he goes to the refrigerator and takes out the turkey, some baby spinach, cranberry sauce, 2 pears, 2 avocados, some cooked bacon, and some brie. He set it all on the island and began to slice up the pears and the avocados. Jacob raised an eyebrow at what Emmett was doing.
"You want to hand me the bread, it's behind you in the cabinet."
Jacob got the whole wheat bread and handed it to Emmett. Dealing out the bread like they were playing cards, he started putting six leaves of baby spinach on four of the pieces of bread, then he added four ounces of roasted turkey on top of the spinach. He put a tablespoon of cranberry sauce on top of all the turkey, then proceeded to add the sliced pears, bacon, and sliced avocado. On top of all that he put a slice of brie, then the top bread. Once he was finished he looked at Jacob and smirked.
"That actually looks pretty good. How did you learn to make that, you haven't eaten in like 100 years."
"70 but who's counting, and I got it off the internet." Emmett picks up a sandwich and gives it to Jacob, "Trust me it's good."
Jacob takes a bite, "Oh my god, this is so good, you got any soda and chips or something?"
"Soda's in the fridge, grab three, will you? Hey, Bella, what do you want to drink?"
"Milk." She yells back, her voice sounding stronger.
Emmett puts the sandwiches on three plates and grabs one for Jacob so he doesn't make a mess. He goes to the cabinet and grabs some chips, adding some to each plate. Grabbing the tray he puts everything on the tray and leaves the kitchen with Jacob behind him still munching on his sandwich.
Coming into the living room Emmett sets the tray down on the coffee table. He hands Bella the plate with a napkin, he set her glass of milk next to her on the end table.
"There you go, Bella, made with love." Emmett said and smiles at her, "And of course I made one for the love of my life, here you go, Babe."
"Thank you, Emmett." Both girls say.
Emmett sits down next to Kagome, after handing Kagome her plate, Emmett takes his sandwich and takes a big bite. Bella watches him, still amazed that Emmett can eat now. She shakes her head then bites her sandwich and hums.
"Oh my god, Emmett this is so good."
"That's what I told him," Jake said as he sits down next to Bella and finishes his sandwich.
"From now on Emmett's the official sandwich maker of the house." Bella declares, feeling stronger now that she's gotten some food in her.
Emmett laughs, "I can live with that."
They all sit around eating their sandwiches in silence, happy to see Bella enjoying food again. Once they finish Emmett makes two more for Seth and Leah so Jacob can take it out to them. After a while, Alice, Jasper, and Kostas make an appearance, their eyes are gold again.
"What happened to you guys, "Emmett asked as he finished the last of the chips.
"Leah and Seth were able to catch a few deer for us and bring them back so we could feed. We had to share but it was enough. Carlisle, there still two more out there for you, Esme, Rosalie, and Edward." Kostas tells his friend.
"Thank you, Kostas, we'll thank Leah and Seth when we see them."
Carlisle, Esme head outside to feed while Rosalie kisses her husband, "Look after Bella for me."
Kostas smiles at Rosalie, "Pánta, agápi mou." (Always, my love)
Kostas sits down next to Bella and pats her on the head, "You're looking better, how are you feeling?"
"Stronger."
"That's good, little sister, you need to stay strong for your moró."
Bella gave him a puzzled look
Kostas chuckled, "Baby, Bella."
She blushes and nods, she sighs as she looks at Kagome and Emmett cuddled on the sofa. Kostas wrapped an arm around her.
"What's on your mind, Bella?"
"Kostas, how did you know that Rosalie was your mate?"
"When I first laid eyes on my Rose, I just knew. Suddenly the world made sense, I could feel it falling into place. It almost felt like my heart was beating again. Suddenly everything around me came alive and was brighter, it was like I was in a fog most of my life and it was lifted the minute I saw Rose." Kostas said with a smiled as he remembered that day fondly.
"I felt the same way when I saw Kagome," Emmett said and kissed Kagome.
"How did you feel when you met Emmett, Kagome?"
"Like I was finally home, that everything was right with the world. Though I didn't know it was coming from our mate bond."
Bella looked down, "I didn't feel that with Edward." She mumbled.
Kagome, Emmett, and Kostas looked at each other but didn't say anything. Suddenly Bella gasps and clutches her side, Kagome gets up and kneels in front of Bella.
"Bella, what's wrong?"
"The baby kicked, I think he broke my rib."
Kagome quickly heals the injury and covers Bella up when she shivers. Kostas gets up so that Jacob can take his place and keep Bella warm. Bella sighs and leans more into Jacob. Kagome goes back and sits with Emmett.
"You know I was thinking about names for the baby, and I was thinking that's if it's a boy I would name him Edward Jacob. But after everything that's happened and everything that's going to happen, I changed my mind. I think I'll name him Charles Jacob instead."
Kagome smiled, "We can call him CJ."
"And if it's a girl," Emmett asked.
"I kicked a few things around. Playing with Renee and Esme. I was thinking... Ruh-nez-may."
"Ruhnezmay?"
"R-e-n-e-s-m-e-e. Too weird?"
Kagome and Emmett looked at each other, then looked at Bella, "No it's not too weird." Kagome says, Emmett just shrugs.
"What's not too weird," Rosalie asks when she, Kostas Alice and Jasper come back into the living room.
"Naming the baby Renesmee."
Rosalie smiles, "It's very unique, perfect for this situation."
Bella smiles and rubs her belly, then her smile falters, "Has anyone seen Edward?"
"He fed, then went back to his room," Alice tells her.
"Oh."
"Hey don't even think about him, you just worry about you and the baby. That's all that matters right now."
"You're right, I know, it 's just that what he said really hurt and I know he meant it. I'm beginning to realize that I'm going to have to raise this baby alone."
"Bella, you'll never be alone, Emmett and I will always be there for you," Kagome tells her cousin.
"So will, Kostas and I," Rosalie adds.
"And so will I," Jacob adds as he hugs Bella tightly.
Tears start to well up in Bella's eyes, she hugs Jacob a and sniffles. Pulling away she looks at the Cullen family.
"What about Edward?"
"What about Edward?" Alice asked.
"We can't stay here if Edward is going to be living here."
"Well, I guess, Edward is going to have to make new living arrangement then, darlin', " Jasper tells her.
Bella giggles, then suddenly stopped, she gives everyone a serious look, "You guys wouldn't by any chance know a good lawyer?"
"Why?"
"Because I think I'm going to need to get an annulment."
Rosalie smiles, "Kostas does, in Seattle. We'll get that squared away once the baby is born."
"Good, in the meantime, Rose, can you help me up, nature call."
Rosalie slowly pulled Bella to her feet and she started slowly walking towards the bathroom. Once Bella had done her business she was led to the den where a bed had been set up for her. Rosalie picked up Bella and put her to bed, Kagome walks into the room with a glass of warm blood and a bowl of pasta that Esme had made. Bella drank her blood then happily began to eat her pasta. Once she was finished she went to sleep.
Suddenly they hear a long howl and Carlisle comes running into the into the room. He goes to the window and slams a button by the window. Iron shutters close down on the windows and seal shut. Kagome and Rosalie look at each other.
"What's going on?"
"The wolves have made their move, they're coming for Bella. That was Seth, he and Leah are up front right now getting ready to defend us. We need to get out there to help."
Kagome and Rosalie nod, both move to leave, but Rosalie stops Kagome.
"You need to stay with Bella, Kagome if something happens you're the only one who can save her and the baby. The rest of us will take care of the wolves."
Kagome nods, "Rose, don't kill them, if you have to mortally wound them, it will take them twice as long to recover and I can heal them later."
"But-"
"Rose, Sam isn't thinking straight, he's scared. His instincts are only telling him to protect his family. I know once he sees that the baby isn't a threat he can be reasoned with."
Rosalie nods, "Alright, I'll tell the others."
Once Rosalie leaves Kagome erects a barrier around her and Bella. She would have preferred to have used sutras, but she had them in her room and she didn't want to leave Bella alone in the house with Edward. Kagome had a feeling that he would try something against the baby the minute Bella was left alone. Kagome took a seat in the chair next to the bed and sighed, the fighting hadn't started yet. She could hear Carlisle trying to reason with Sam, but the growls of the wolves were just getting louder, suddenly all hell broke loose.
Carlisle, Esme, Jasper, Alice, Kostas, Rosalie, Emmett, Jacob, Leah, and Seth all stood in front of the house surround by the pack. Sam, Jared, Paul, Brady, Collin, Quil, and Embry were recognized, but there were three new members standing with them as well. It was obvious they were young by their gangly appearance and scared. Carlisle's heart went out to these youngsters, he stepped forward flanked by Kostas and Emmett.
"Sam, it doesn't have to come to this, we don't need to fight. We'll leave this place and never return, just give us time Bella is almost due as soon as the baby-"
The minute Carlisle mentioned the baby Sam sprung at him, Emmett stepped in front of Carlisle catching Sam mid-air and launched him into Paul and Embry. Jared took that opportunity to attack Rosalie catching her off guard and tackling her to the ground. That was all the motivation the other wolves needed, the attacked their individual target like they had planned out.
Kostas went to help Rosalie, but by that time Paul, had recovered and was now facing off with him. Quil went after Jasper, while Sam and Embry faced off with Emmett. Collin went after Carlisle while Brady squared off with Alice. While the three unknown wolves surrounded Esme, they had backed her close to the house. Leah and Seth noticed and came to her aid. Jacob leaped over Carlisle and landed right next to Emmett, he faced off against Embry.
Sam and Emmett glared at each other, "You were gonna try to kill Kagome, *my* mate," Emmett said through clenched teeth, "That was a mistake."
Emmett's blood started to boil his eyes turned a demonic glowing red. Claws grew from his fingertips and his teeth elongated. A crescent moon appeared on his forehead, as did magenta stripes on his cheeks. Sam realized that it was the Daiyoukai's blood being activated and he grew afraid. It took everything in him not to back away. Instead, he attacked.
All around could be heard the snarls and hissing, and occasional yelping of someone getting hurt. The noise carried all the way into the house, causing Kagome to stand up, she takes down the barrier and goes to the window to see if she can see anything but she can't. All she can do is listen, worry and pace. At that moment Bella wakes up.
"What's going on?"
Kagome walks over to the bed and takes Bella's hand, "The wolves have attacked, the others are outside trying to keep them out."
"Edward!"
"I don't know where Edward is."
Bella shakes her head and points, "No, Edward!"
Kagome turns just in time to see Edward rocket across the room and slams into Kagome, knocking her to the floor. He grabs her by the wrist and pins them down.
"What are you going to do now, you're useless without your hands."
"That's where you're wrong, asshole!"
A bright pink light burst forth from Kagome's body, knocking Edward through the wall. Kagome gets up and goes to Bella, who has suddenly turned pale and is clutching at her stomach.
"Bella?"
Bella lifts her shirt exposing her belly that is now violently churning and is beginning to blossom red spots, Bella suddenly screams. At that moment Edward comes back into the room after hearing Bella scream.
"Give me my blood singer, bitch, let me take her to the wolves so they can rip that thing out of her then I'll change her."
Edward rushes at them again but Kagome puts up a barrier in time. It isn't strong enough to purify Edward if he touches it, but it will keep him out. Kagome puts her hands on Bella's belly and starts pushing her spiritual powers into her, but it isn't enough. Her powers are divided, she can't hold the barrier and heal Bella at the same time, not with that idiot pounding on the barrier trying to weaken it. Kagome does the only thing she can think of, call for help."
Help, Carlisle, Emmett, Jacob, anybody!" Kagome screams.
Outside, Emmett, not only heard his mate calling for help but he felt it. He instantly turns back to normal and looks at the house. Carlisle and Jacob heard as well. Emmett tries to get to his mate, but Sam keeps blocking him.
Carlisle is finally able to get away from Collin and rushes into the house, Jacob makes a run for it, but Embry runs after him. Emmett punches Sam in the face then tackles Embry.
"Go, Jacob, I'll handle these two, go help Kagome and Bella."
Jacob takes off after Carlisle, they get to the room and see Edward pounding on the barrier screaming like a mad man for Kagome to give him his blood singer, while Kagome has her hands on Bella's belly trying to heal her.
"GET HIM OFF ME! Kagome screams.
Instantly Jacob attacks Edward knocking him through the same wall. Jacob and Edward tumble in the other room, but Edward pushes Jake off of him, knocking him out. Edward stands, he knows that he won't be able to get Bella now that Carlisle is there, it'll only be a matter of time for Emmett to show up. He decides to take the coward's way out and flees, now that everyone is distracted.
Now that Jacob and Edward are out of the room, Kagome's barrier comes crashing down. Carlisle steps forward and examines Bella, who is holding on to her belly screaming. He scoops her up and takes her to his office that has been turned into a hospital room. Kagome follows behind.
"What's going on?"
"It's time if we don't hurry the baby will chew it's way out of the womb, killing Bella."
Carlisle lays Bella down and injects her with morphine, while that starts working he gets the surgical kit he had prepared earlier ready, he instructs Kagome to grab some towels from the drawer behind her. He sets everything on the tray then starts a morphine drip for Bella, by that time the injection has numbed her. Carlisle puts on a pair of gloves, takes the scalpel in hand and make an incision. He cuts until he reaches the embryonic sac, he realizes then that the scalpel will not cut it. He puts the scalpel down and leans over the open wound.
"What are you doing?"
"The scalpel won't cut the sac I'm going to have to use my teeth. Get ready to take the baby."
Carlisle carefully bites the sac then pries it open with his bare hands, he reaches in and slowly pulls out the baby.
He smiles, "It's a girl."
Kagome smiles, Carlisle then hands the baby over to Kagome who then swaddles the baby, she held the baby up for Bella to see.
"Bella it's a girl"
A tear runs down Bella's face, "Renesmee," she whispers.
Slowly the light starts to fade from Bella's eyes Carlisle scrambles and starts doing chest compressions, while Kagome screams for Jacob.
"Jacob, come quickly we need your help!"
Jacob rushes into the room, "What it is?"
"Take the baby," Kagome tells him
"I'm not taking that thing."
"Either take the baby or watch Bella die. Carlisle and I have to work together to keep Bella alive."
"Fine." He walks over to take the baby, but before he can Kagome snatches her out of his reach.
"I'm warning you, you hurt this baby and I will kill you in the most painful way possible."
Jacob hesitates then gently takes the baby. He walks out of the room without even looking down at the baby. Once he gets outside, Jacob smirks, if he was going to die he might as well die to avenge the woman he loves. He pulled the warm baby away from his body with the intent of throwing her down as hard as he could and stomping on the little demon's head until it cracked like a walnut. But as he pulled her away he looked down into warm brown eyes, the color of milk chocolate - the exact same color that Bella's had been. He gasped at the sight and he was gone. Everything around him shifted and now the little girl in his arms had just become his entire world. Jacob Black imprinted.
Meanwhile, Kagome and Carlisle switched places, He was now sewing up the gaping wound left in Bella's belly, while Kagome had her hands over her heart pushing in as much spiritual power as she could with Carlisle still touching her.
"The minute you finish, Carlisle, leave so I can use as much power as I have."
"But Kagome you-"
"Just do it, I'll be fine."
Carlisle worked as quickly and efficiently as he could, the minute he finished with the last stitch he put the sutures and walked out of the room without a second glance. Once he was gone, Kagome used her full powers, she poured every ounce of spiritual power she had into healing Bella. It was so powerful that it healed the cesarean wound completely, but Kagome kept going. She kept going until Bella's eyes snapped open and she gasped. Kagome smiled when she saw her cousin look at her, suddenly her eyes rolled back and slumped to the floor.
"Kagome!"
Carlisle quickly comes back in the room and rushes over to Kagome.
"What happened,"
"She just fell, is she alright?"
"She's fine, she just fainted, I'll take her up to her room. The others should be in shortly."
"What happened with the wolves?"
"Everything has been sorted out by Jacob," Carlisle said as he walks out of the room with Kagome in his arms.
"How?"
Carlisle turned and smiled, "Jacob imprinted on Renesmee."
