I DO NOT OWN INUYASHA OR TWILIGHT, THEY BELONG TO THEIR REPSPECTIVE OWNERS. I AM ONLY BORROWING THEM
After Charlie's visit, life pretty much settled down, Bella's birthday passed without incident. She didn't mind turning 19 years old now that she realized that she was not meant to be with Edward. Kagome decided that she and Bella would at least go to Seattle to watch a movie and have dinner while everyone else stayed home with the baby. They even went the day after her birthday so it didn't seem like they were actually celebrating it, which was something that Bella appreciated.
Meanwhile, Renesmee continued to grow at an alarming rate in the week that she was born she looked like she was nine months. Carlisle ran all sorts of studies on her but couldn't figure out the cause. It worried everyone in the house, they were convinced that their time with Renesmee would be short. It was when Renesmee turned a week old that the Cullens got some unexpected visitors.
Bella and Jacob were sitting on the floor playing with Renesmee while Rosalie was talking about what Kagome would like for her birthday.
"Honestly, after everything that has happened this past month I just want a nice quiet dinner with my husband," Kagome tells her.
Emmett turned away from the TV and smiled at his wife, "Whatever you want, Babe."
At that moment Alice was coming into the living room when she suddenly gasped, Jasper was instantly at her side.
"Alice, Darlin' what did you see?"
"The Denali's are coming to visit, they'll be here tomorrow at noon," Alice informs them.
Carlisle and Esme look at each other, "This might be a problem."
"Why?" Bella, Kagome, and Jacob ask at the same time.
"Well, for one, you all remember Irina's reaction to Seth at Bella's wedding, she may still want revenge for Laurent's death. Alice, did you see why they're coming?"
"Tanya convinced Irina to make up with us, but they didn't want her to come down here alone so they're all coming."
"So then what's the second problem," Kagome asked
"Renesmee."
Jacob growled and picked up the baby, "How in the hell is Renesmee a problem?"
Carlisle then went on to explain about the immortal children and how Tanya, Irina and Kate's mother made one and brought the Volturi's wrath down upon them.
"But, Renesmee isn't an immortal child, she grows every single day," Bella said.
"I think that should be fairly easy to disprove, Carlisle, Bella is still human we have pictures of Bella when she was pregnant. And if nothing else I'll put up a barrier so they won't even notice her. Though I think we should at least try to explain to them."
"I think Kagome's right, we should at least try," Alice said.
So, the next day they waited for the Denali's to show up. As Alice predicted they arrived exactly at noon, everyone waited with bated breath as they heard their car turned off the road and head up the lane. They stopped outside the house and got out. Kagome, Bella, and Renesmee are upstairs while everyone else went downstairs to greet their cousins. Jacob was sent back to La Push much to his protest.
As soon as they heard the car doors slam shut, Kagome puts up the barrier around her, Bella, and the baby. They listen as Carlisle opens the door and greets their cousins.
"Tanya, Irina, Kate, Carmen, Eleazar welcome. We've been expecting you."
Tanya laughs, "Of course you have, Carlisle, I'm sure you already know why we're here then."
"Yes."
Irina steps forward, "I want to apologize for my actions. Because of me, we didn't help you when you needed us earlier this summer, and I acted terribly at Edward and Bella's wedding. After a great deal of discussion with my family, I've come to realize that they were right, Laurent wasn't the right person for me, he was only using me. What the wolves did was the right thing."
Carlisle steps forward and hugs Irina, "I'm sorry that happened to you, Irina."
Tanya and Kate also hugged Carlisle and Irina.
"I think I should apologize to Edward and Bella."
"That might be a problem."
"Why what happened?" Carmen asked.
Edward no longer lives with us, he is no longer part of our family."
"What?!" All of the Denalis say.
"What could have possibly happened that would have warranted that?" Eleazar asked.
"He tried to get Bella killed."
"I don't understand, why would he hurt his own mate?" Kate asked
"That's another thing, he lied. Bella was never his mate, she was only his blood singer." Jasper said.
"Wait, someone needs to explain to us from the beginning."
"Come into the living room and I'll explain," Carlisle said
They all go into the living room and sit down, Carlisle immediately starts the story, "It all started with a phone call when Edward and Bella were on their honeymoon…"
By the end of the story, the Denali coven sat there completely gobsmacked. They looked at all the pictures that were taken of Bella since the day she arrives from Rio documenting how quickly her pregnancy progressed. They saw the pictures of Renesmee as a newborn and then again the next day when she looked 2 weeks old.
"And you're saying that Edward is the father, so the baby is half vampire?" Eleazar asked.
"Yes."
"How did Bella survive the birth?"
"Kagome healed her after Carlisle did the cesarian."
"And this just happened last week, how old does the baby look now?"
"She looks like she nine months now."
"May we see her?" Carmen asked.
"Emmett?"
Emmett got up and went upstairs, "It's okay, Kagome, you can drop your barrier now, they want to meet Renesmee. If that's okay with you, Bella?"
Kagome and Bella look at each other, "Yeah, that's fine."
The minute Kagome's barrier comes down the Denalis gasp. They can now hear and smell Bella and Kagome, but they can hear Renesmee's heart and smell her scent. It's an appealing scent, not like that of a human, but not a vampire either. And her heart is faster than a human's.
They wait expectantly as Emmett, Kagome and Bella come downstairs, Emmett walking in front just in case. The minute they see Renesmee they all melt into a puddle of goo. Carmen starts gushing that she's the cutest baby she has ever seen and asks if she can hold her. Renesmee for her part puts her hand on Bella's neck letting her know that she wants to go to Carmen.
Renesmee starts leaning away from Bella to get to Carmen. Carmen takes the baby and cuddles her to her chest.
"What a sweet baby."
Renesmee giggles then touches Carmen's throat, Carmen gasp as she sees the pictures that Renesmee is showing her.
"What was that?" Carmen asks.
Bella smiles, "That's the way she communicates, she's gifted."
Renesmee giggles and leans away from Carmen wanting to go to Kate, who gladly takes the baby. After a while, the baby is passed around to the other members of the Denali coven and they only fell further in love with her.
The rest of the afternoon was spent playing and talking with Renesmee and the others, things were nice and peaceful and Jacob comes barreling through the front door. Immediately the Denali Coven surround Renesmee and begin hissing and growling at Jacob. Jacob drops down into a defensive posture ready to attack those that are keeping him away from his imprint.
Carlisle comes and stands between them, "It's alright everyone, Jacob is not a threat to Renesmee."
Emmett and Kostas laugh, "Yeah, Jacob is Renesmee's puppy."
Jacob glares at the guys and growls, but the Denalis look bewildered.
"Okay, someone want to explain that one," Tanya asks.
"Jacob imprinted on Renesmee," Bella said then begins to explain what imprinting is.
"Okay, that's just weird," Kate says.
"Yes, it is, but that's the way it is. And if he hadn't Renesmee probably would still be in danger." Kagome states.
After that incident, Kagome gets up and makes dinner for those that ate while those that didn't, go out hunting. They were finally able to convince Renesmee to eat solid foods, and they noticed that if she drank less blood her growth slowed a little. So Bella had her in a high chair feeding her meat from a roast that Kagome had made, she seemed to enjoy it.
As the night wore on, the humans of the house went to bed, since Jacob, Lea, and Seth spent most of their time there they were given rooms in the house, though that night Leah and Seth were at their mom's house having dinner with her and Charlie. Then they were going to spend the night.
Kagome and Emmett went to their room, it had been a long day and they were ready to relax and spend some time by themselves. They showered and changed, Kagome putting on one of Emmett's t-shirts. She crawled onto her side of the bed and sighed. After a few moments, Emmett came out of the bathroom in his boxers. He crawls onto the bed and lays his head on Kagome's stomach, hugging her around the middle. He lets out a sigh and closes his eyes relaxing while his wife runs her fingers through his hair. Suddenly, Emmett's eyes pop open, his arms tighten around Kagome and he presses his ear more into her stomach.
"Emmett, what's the matter," Kagome asks.
"Shh, don't talk, I thought I heard something."
"Heard what?"
"Hold on."
Emmett presses his ear a little harder into her stomach when he hears it, but barely. He looks up at Kagome wide-eyed and his mouth falls open.
"What, Emmett, what did you hear?"
"Okay you might think I'm crazy, but I could have sworn I heard an extra heartbeat."
"A heartbeat?"
"Yes, very faintly, Kagome, I think you might be pregnant," Emmett said with a grin.
Kagome's mouth falls open, "You think so?"
"There's only one way to find out, I'll go get you a pregnancy test."
Emmett jumped out of bed rushed into the closet and got dressed he grabbed his keys and in a flash was already in the garage where Rosalie and Kostas were changing the oil to her BMW. They both looked up when Emmett jumped into his Jeep.
"Emmett, where are you going," Rosalie asked.
"Can't talk now, got to go the store."
"For what?"
"Pregnancy test."
Rosalie and Kostas look at each other, "Kagome's pregnant?!"
"That's what we're going to find out."
At that moment Alice comes dancing into the garage holding a box, "You don't have to go to the store, Emmett, I have one right here."
All three of them turn and stare at the Pixie Vampire. Emmett gets out of the Jeep, "You knew she was pregnant." He accuses.
"No, I was just being cautious, if Edward could get Bella pregnant why couldn't you? So I went out today and bought some." Alice said with a knowing smile.
Emmett raised an eyebrow, "Why don't I believe you, Pixie?"
Alice huffs, and shakes the box, "Are you going to take this up to Kagome or not?"
"Yes!"
In a flash, Emmett takes the box from Alice and is back upstairs. He stands outside the door and takes a deep calming breath, then opens the bedroom door. Kagome is still in bed wringing her hands. She looks up and gives him a curious look.
"You're not going?"
"I don't have to, Alice had one."
"She knows I'm pregnant?"
"She's claiming she doesn't. Do you want to take the test now?"
Kagome bites her lip, she shakily reaches for the box and takes it from Emmett. Silently she gets out of bed and goes to the bathroom closing and locking the door behind her. Emmett goes and sits on the bed to wait. By this time all the vampires have heard what is going on and are also waiting anxiously.
It was the longest three minutes of everyone's existence. But eventually Kagome came out of the bathroom holding the pregnancy test, she has this shocked look on her face.
Emmett stands up and walks over to her, "Babe what does it say?"
Kagome just hands him the stick. He looks at the stick then looks at Kagome and back at the stick. A smile slowly blossoms on his face.
"Well?" Jasper yells.
"It's positive," Emmett mutters, but the whole house heard.
"I want-"
Alice appears with another test.
"Thanks, Alice."
Emmett furrows his brow, "Why are you taking it again?"
"I just want to be sure, this is too good to be true."
Kagome turns and goes back into the bathroom, locking the door again.
Another agonizing three minutes later and Kagome comes out this time with a huge smile on her face.
"It's still positive."
Emmett starts laughing then picks up Kagome twirling her around, making Kagome giggle.
"Baby, we're having a baby!"
Everyone comes rushing upstairs to congratulate the new parents. The hug Kagome and slap Emmett on the back. All the commotion wakes up Bella and the others.
"What's going on?" Bella asks with Renesmee in her arms
"I'm pregnant!"
Bella screams and rushes forward to hug her cousin. Renesmee puts her hand on her mother's neck and shows her the picture of a baby.
"That's right, honey, Kagome's having a baby."
The baby squeals with delight and reaches for Kagome. She touches Kagome's neck and begins showing her pictures of babies and her being happy, conveying that she's happy about the new baby.
"Thank you Renesmee, I'm happy too," Kagome tells her with a giggle.
Jacob, Leah, and Seth come in and congratulate Kagome and Emmett as well. After that, Rosalie ushers everyone out of Kagome and Emmett's room so that they can be alone.
Kagome thanks everyone before they leave then shuts the door, she turns to Emmett and smiles.
"Are you happy, Emmett?"
"Happy? Happy doesn't even describe how I feel right now. I'm ecstatic!"
"So am I, Baby. This is a dream come true, Emmett, I thought you and I would never have children. And I was okay with that as long as I had you. But now I get to have you and your baby, things couldn't get any better."
Emmett crossed the room and wrapped his arms around his wife's waist, "I love you so much, Kagome and I am so happy I could give you this."
"I love you too, so, so much."
Emmett kisses Kagome, he picks her up and carries her to bed. Laying her down, he lies down next to her and runs his hand down her belly. He smiles at the thought of his child growing his wife's womb. Emmett leans down and kisses her belly, while Kagome runs her fingers through his dark hair. Emmett lays his head on her belly and listens to the faint sound of his child's heartbeat and slowly falls asleep with a smile on his face.
