A/N – I know that I said I would have this up awhile ago, but work has tired me out completely. I honestly did not expect this chapter to be so long and every time I tried to cut it off – more of the story poured out in my typing. So I hope my readers are happy with what I have written because I know that I am.

Happy Reading.

DISCLAIMER - ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHANIE MEYERS.

STORYLINE BELONGS TO ME.

Carlisle the doctor was questioning me again, "Can I ask when the first time you guys were together?"

"It was just a little over a month ago, which is why I'm confused that I appear to be 12 weeks along, more so because I thought it would take longer to appear pregnant and my stomach appears to enlarge more every other week."

Turning off the machine Carlisle turns to Jasper and I saying, "On a serious note Bella, because this is the first time that I have come across this I think it would be best if we have your appointments at the house from now on. I'm also going to start researching to see if there is precedence for something like this. I am unsure of how this pregnancy will progress, since it appears that you will not have a normal one but more geometrically."

I look at Jasper who looks back at me sending me a tsunami of love as he asks "Should we call a family meeting to let them know or do you want wait?"

Squeezing his hand I send him all the love I am feeling saying, "It's up to you, Daddy to be, whatever you want is fine by me."

"We'll tell them tonight, Carlisle call a family meeting, please." I add, "At my new house, that way we can have some privacy. But mostly because I'm unsure of how badly Edward will take the news and I don't want any violence on such a happy day."

"What are you going to tell Charlie, Bella?" Jasper asks.

"The truth," I say sitting up and adjusting my shirt. "Given the circumstances right now, he deserves to know that he is going to be a grandfather before…" I trail off giving Jasper a knowing look as he nods his head in acknowledgement while Carlisle looks questioningly between the two of us.

"I'll explain later Carlisle, at the family meeting. With Charlie already knowing what you are, he should know that this is not going to be a normal pregnancy and I want to graduate with as little hassle as possible. When I begin to show more I will start wearing some clothes that will cover me up just enough. Believe me; Charlie will take the news quite well."

"I'm going to stay with Charlie until I start showing that way I can still spend as much time with him as possible." I start to sense Carlisle interrupting and I look pleadingly at Jasper who squeezes my hand in support and says, "I agree with you Bella, this will give him the time he needs to get used to the idea as well as the opportunity to watch you grow in your pregnancy" before looking at Carlisle and saying, "You'll understand when we speak with you later."

Carlisle looks between us for a moment wondering what we are withholding before nodding his head and saying, "Since you're carrying twins, Bella, I am concerned about later on in your pregnancy once you progress further into start to get bigger, and do you have plans for that time? You are free to come and stay with us at the house, I'm sure Esme wouldn't mind."

Jasper stiffens and spits harshly, "NO! She will not stay in that house with Edward, Carlisle."

Carlisle's brows scrunch up remembering as he turns around and walks to his desk. Looking down he states quietly, "Then you will need to make other arrangements Bella."

Jasper interrupts looking down and offers, "Or you could stay with me, I have the room."

I turn to him grasping both his hands in mine and think "LOOK at me please" to which he looks me in the eyes as I smile widely at him and say, "I would love to 'shack up' with you Jasper" giggling when he grins at me goofily.

"Well, I think the first people to tell are Emmett and Rose since they are on their way to my new house. Rose is going to need the most adjusting because she's wanted a baby since before she was turned. I think it would be an excellent idea if she and Emmett were godparents, do you think she would like that Jasper?"

Carlisle and Jasper smiled at each other before helping me down from the table then Jasper pulled me into a hug saying, "I think that would be a lovely idea and she will feel closer to you. Let's go tell them now."

"Bella" Carlisle questions "We will talk after the family meeting?"

I looked up at him and smiled softly knowing that he needed to understand everything since I would become a part of his family but also to manage the health of my babies and me for the duration of my pregnancy.

I walked over to him and hugged him telling him, "Bring Esme and I will tell you both everything, but only you two. The others can't know right now, my future is screwed up enough as it is. Thanks for everything you have done and will be doing for me, I truly appreciate it."

"You're very welcome Bella. You are part of the family now, more so because you have brought Jasper more happiness than I have ever seen since I have met him."

*******

Pulling up to my house, Rose rushes over looking like she's about to cry asking me, "Bella how could you let Jasper drive your car before me? Does he even know how to handle her?"

I get out stunned asking, "Rose, how did you know my car is a she?"

"Pfft, of course your car would be a she, she's too beautiful to be anything but" she says hugging me.

"Rose I would like you to meet Sasha. Let's go inside, I have some news for you guys." I say leading them inside and going to the kitchen for more juice as they head to get their drinks.

After Rose and Emmett get comfortable, Jasper comes to stand behind me wrapping his arms around my waist in comforting support. I close my eyes draining my glass and blurt out, "RoseandEmmettwhatwouldyousaytobeingourbabiesgodparents?"

My eyes are still closed and Jasper has to get my attention by saying, "you're going to want to see this Darlin'."

I open my eyes to see Rose completely speechless just staring at me wrapped in Emmett's arms – who is also struck speechless but grinning madly as Rose's eyes are brimming with unshed tears that can't fall. Then she starts dry sobbing and I'm at a loss looking between our mates who are clueless, so I shooo them outside for a little girl talk.

Wrapping my arms around Rose I let her cry herself out then ask, "Rose are you not happy that I asked you to be a godmother? I mean, I thought you would be happy about that for some reason and I know it's not really the same as having your own. You're thoughts weren't specific enough and I didn't want to pry, so would you like to tell me now?"

Rose took a deep breath and started telling me her history of how she was the prettiest and got the guy, everything she wanted until the night she was walking home from her friend's house. She was attacked by her fiancé and his friends who raped and beat her, leaving her for dead, then how Carlisle found her and saved her. Changing her into an immortal being and how she sought revenge on those who destroyed her life.

"But what I miss the most about my human life was having a family, so badly; I wanted to have my own little girl that looked exactly like me and my husband. But after everything happened with Steven and his friends I was truly depressed that I would never get the little girl that I so wanted. That is the only regret I have being a vampire, that we can't have children."

"Don't get me wrong I love my life and Emmett completes me, I just wish I had been able to have and raise a child. So when you told me you wanted me to be a godmother to your children, I broke down because helping you raise yours will be the closest thing I will ever get to having and raising my own."

"It overwhelmed me since I haven't really been that nice to you, especially not trusting you after you've been nothing but nice to me." Hugging me she adds, "I can see now why Jasper truly loves you the way that he does, you bring out the best in people. I'm so glad you guys have found each other because I have never seen him this happy, calm and content since I have known him."

Pulling away slightly I say, "Thank you Rose, that makes what I am about to show you that much more lovely. What would you say if I told you that I've had a vision of you raising your own child side by side with me?" I ask projecting the vision into her mind.

But before I can pull completely out of her arms to see her reaction I am pulled tightly into a hug where I can't breathe.

"Rose...Rose!!!................Rose!!!!........human……….can't………...breathe…………..ROSE!!!!" I exclaim as her arms continue to tighten in shock at the news and the vision.

My vision starts to darken from lack of oxygen and I begin to fear for my babies but before I can lose consciousness Jasper and Emmett rush back in to separate us.

I inhale deeply and quickly doubled over and cradling my abdomen as I try to get as much air into my lungs as possible, blinking to get the stars out of my eyes.

Jasper's cradling me gently in his arms as Emmett's trying to get Rose to talk. I decide to intervene with a vision projected for all of us – Rose is cradling a baby in a pink bundle as Emmett grins with his arm around her shoulder and the baby cooing at him as she grips one of his fingers.

Emmett gasps as Rose takes a deep breath, shudders then whispers quietly, "How……When…..Who?"

Finally relaxing in Jaspers arms as I reach out and hold her hand saying, "The vision came to me the night after our first meeting and I didn't understand until I found out I was pregnant. I believe someone drops her off outside the doors of the ER that Carlisle works at part-time in Seattle."

"It's the midnight shift and Carlisle is walking into work when he discovers her. She's newly born and still has her umbilical cord attached and knowing how much you wanted a child before you were turned, he brings her home to you. None of the hospital staff even knows she was dropped off and you get the child that you've always wanted."

Emmett sits there quietly then, "DUDE!!!!!! SWEET!!!!!! I GET TO HAVE A BABY WITH MY ROSIE!" Before picking her up and twirling her around in excitement.

Jasper gasps in mock alarm, "What!?!?!?! Vampires can't have babies."

"They're not actually going to have one. Didn't you hear me say Carlisle finds one?" I ask giggling softly as he chuckles and replies "I was just kidding, I know that. Well I guess congratulations are in order, at least future wise."

Rose turns to me, "So this happens soon, within a year? How many months are you?"

I smiled giggling at her excitement before replying, "Carlisle says two months but we're unsure since he's never encountered this type of situation before."

Jasper adds, "He says she appears to be further along than he suspects, mainly because of the half-human, half-vampire issue."

"I believe its sometime right after the school year ends." I say snuggling deeper into Jaspers arms.

While Rose and Emmett hug in happiness bonding over the news of a child, I turn to Jasper asking him, "Should we tell them about the other issue or should we wait for Carlisle and Esme to tell them? This involves them now more than ever and I think they have a right to know, we've waited long enough to tell them."

He nods as he pulls out his phone to call Carlisle and Esme to make sure they are on their way.

"Tell us what?" Emmett calls from the cabinet where he's getting a drink.

"Carlisle and Esme should be on their way now, let them pass on the news as they might take it better from them, being the parental units and all" Jasper says quietly.

"This involves Edward and Alice doesn't it? That's why they are not here at this meeting isn't it?" growls Rose.

Looking at Jasper for encouragement, I turn to them saying, "There's some recent information about them that has been kept from you guys that will come in handy for future purposes."

"However, on a lighter note, we're having twins, unsure of the sexes right now. But now knowing that you will be parents as well, you're going to have to pick out some names for when you get her. Either way I still want you both to be the godparents for our children."

Rose smiles saying, "As long as you will be the godparents for our daughter as well."

Before I can reply the phone rings and I answer it on speaker phone, "Hello"

"Bella, its Esme, where's the house? I have Carlisle with me and we can't find it?"

"Sorry Esme" as I think "SHOW" then Esme says, "Ah, there it is. We'll see you soon."

A few minutes later we hear the car pull up and two car doors slam, as they walk through the door I hide the house again to make sure this meeting is kept private.

Esme comes in as I get up to hug her asking while asking Carlisle if he gave her the good news yet.

"No, I have not since I didn't believe the news was mine to share" he replies walking over to the cabinet to grab a drink for both him and Esme.

I whisper excitedly in her ear, "I'm pregnant with twins; you're going to be a grandmother. We know it's a bit unexpected and I might be a little bit young but it's what we want, and we just want to know that both of you are okay with it."

Esme pulls away cupping my cheeks between her cold hands gently, eyes brimming with unshed tears as she says, "Yes Bella it's more than okay."

She hugs Jasper to her as well whispering, "Congratulations, my son, I'm so happy for you both."

After we all sit down – me snuggling and curled up next to Jasper, Esme sitting in a chair with Carlisle standing behind her and Emmett in the recliner with Rose giggling in his lap.

Jasper and I both chuckle at them knowing Rose is especially having a hard time containing her excitement about the news I gave her earlier.

Carlisle looks at them questioningly as Esme asks, "What's with you two?"

Rose stops smiling and looks at Emmett, then at me and I shrug as if to say "It's your choice."

"How about we deal with Edward and Alice first?" Emmett growls out in frustration attempting to remain calm, "What have you been keeping from us?"

Carlisle looks down as Esme looks like she's about to start sobbing at any moment when Jasper offers, "How about I start first?"

Carlisle nods as he begins to pace in agitation.

Jasper nods his head and says, "The affair with Edward was not the first one for Alice, she's had affairs since we've been together and the one with Edward was just the longest. Alice has also been manipulating us with her visions, either not telling us about them at all or withholding vital parts of them from us. As for Edward's misdeeds that's for Carlisle and Esme to tell you about when they are finally ready."

"Wait!" Rose exclaims sitting up, "That means she could have seen the one about me and Emmett!?!?!?! Why wouldn't she tell us about that? What would be the purpose for keeping that one to herself, she would have been able to be happy as well."

"Maybe not," I say quietly, "She's not the one who wanted a child and so far everything that she's done has been for her own selfish needs, both her and Edward have been nothing but selfish since I've met them. No offense Carlisle and Esme."

Esme sniffles, "No offense taken Bella dear. I'm learning that there's a lot about my son that I don't know which makes me wonder if I even want to know. Carlisle please you need to tell them!"

Carlisle turns to face Rose and Emmett, clears his throat and says, "The affair with Alice is one of many that Edward's had, there have been times that I've had to destroy our own kind to protect Edward and the family. Several nomads have threatened revenge on Edward and the family because of his actions against them."

"The ones that concern me the most are James and his mate Victoria, whom Edward had a summer fling with about 2 years ago. From what I understand it ended badly because James found out and threatened revenge while Victoria didn't want the affair to end. Edward and I were barely able to get away with Edwards life. James vowed revenge on Edward and all those he loved, which is why he has been spending so much time closer to home. I kept this from the family because I didn't want you to worry and also because Edward said he would never do that again."

"Yeah!!! And we know see how well that turned out, didn't we!!!" sneers Rose.

"So not only do we have Edward fucking everything in sight, and Alice lying to us about her visions, now we also have a vengeful mate and his scorned whore" Rose continues scathingly.

"Rose this meeting is about the additions to the family and the future of the family" Esme says quietly.

Carlisle speaks up, "Alice came to us and apologized however, she must work on earning back our forgiveness and our trust. She realizes that what she did was wrong and that she has a lot of work cut out for her. She has also decided to take some time off from the family at the end of the school year."

Esme finally speaks up saying, "We have not forgiven her and she realizes that it will be some time before we do, but we are willing to take her back on a trial basis after her year away and will grant her more time if she feels that she needs it. She has been restricted from shopping for the remainder of the school year and I cut up all of her credit cards. She is not to have any contact with Edward except for when family is together."

Jasper speaks up then, "I also spoke with Alice, telling her that what she did was wrong on so many levels. That I would eventually forgive her, just maybe not anytime soon and I also explained to her that she might consider the reason she's not had any visions is because she's been manipulating them for her own gain. Her visions are a part of herself to make the right choices for a better future, however because of her bad choices and her failure to give the full information the visions have not come to pass as they should have."

All the family is quiet for a moment taking in the information that has been received as I nudge Jasper and tilt my head towards Carlisle and Esme. Jasper nods as I turn to Rosalie and Emmett asking if we could speak to the parentals in private. Emmett laughs boisterously at "the parentals" comment as Rosalie smiles and pulls Emmett up and out of the house commenting that they need to go look at new clothes.

Once they leave I motion Carlisle and Esme over to the couch on either side of me as I whisper, "Prepare yourself" before showing them the meeting I had with Charlie and my great-great-great-great-grandmother.

"Here Bella," Charlie says right next to me as I close my eyes and shake my head attempting to dislodge the flow of images that flash behind my eyelids – a blurry image of a voice saying quietly "I need a pregnancy test done," a flash of red hair, of a room bathed in dark red blood, of a storm crashing down on Forks, of me screaming into the wind, Edward with a look of horror on his face.

**

Instead of him speaking I hear a soft feminine voice say quietly, "She's powerful already and it appears she's been practicing. My name is Arena and I am your great-great-great-great grandmother, although only Charlie knows about that."

**

"You are the reincarnation of a Wiccan Goddess by the name of Athena. She was superbly powerful in her own right and was also a Goddess of War. She reincarnates herself in our ancestry every hundred generations to battle and evil on earth and restores balance to the universe. All the women on you fathers' side were witches, however when you were born all of their power was absorbed into you."

**

"You will experience another great tragedy and betrayal before you begin to understand your true destiny."

"What destiny are you talking about? I make my own destiny, I create my own future!!"

"There are some things you can't control Bella and you can't control the choices that others make. But fear not, with this tragedy there will be great happiness and joy. For this moment in time you will be unable to control your future, someone else will control it for you" Arena says quietly grasping my hand in hers tightly.

**

"Why?" I ask looking frantically between them as she continues, "Because you are the catalyst that triggers the events to come, you have always been the catalyst."

**

I feel Arena squeeze my hand as Charlie calls my name frantically but it's the word, Darlin' in my head and the image of Jasper looking at me in fear that calms me down.

"Yes," Arena says, "trust in his love because he will keep you balance" as she continues with, "You've seen the vision several times, haven't you, of the room bathed in blood? But have not figured out whose blood it is. That is the great tragedy that will befall you."

"Who will it be?" I whisper tremulous in fear and hoping that it's not who I think it is.

"Mine" says Charlie as I slide down the wall in shock and agony as tears run silently down my face and I come to the realization that I've seen the death of the one person I never thought I would lose.

**

"I knew you would become one of them when I had a vision holding you when you were first born. I never told you mother since she didn't like to talk about my family" he says picking me up and placing me in a chair at a table as Arena follows and sits next to us.

"I get my visions from you, don't I?" I ask Charlie quietly.

**

I turn back to Arena when she touches my shoulder slightly to get my attention and she says quietly, "The events will occur worse off if you run, my dear and you will be unable to control the outcome if you run away. You must face your fear head on."

"But I don't want this life, I want my own life, with decisions I make and control" I whisper brokenly as Charlie grabs one of my hands in his and says, "This future youwill control but you have to let destiny have a hand in it. There is a reason behind everything that has happened in your life, but in order to embrace who you truly are meant to be you must let go just this once."

"You mean let you go, Dad, don't you? I whisper in agony as pain courses through my body along with the realization that everything I have heard since walking into this shop is almost like déjà vu.

Releasing their hands I lean back waiting for them to come to terms with the information that I have given them. Just then Esme sobs and pulls me into her arms hugging me tightly while trying not to harm the babies who start kicking.

She releases me and we laugh as I sober up and say, "I'm going to be honest and tell you that, as with Jasper, I didn't share with you everything that was said during that meeting. For the simple reason that if you knew everything and tried an attempt at changing the outcome, more would be harmed in the end and that is not what I want."

"I am coming into this family a virtual unknown bringing more danger and uncertainty with me than I have ever had in my life. But in the end it is you guys that will be the ones to help me through the hardships that are coming."

Jasper comes around and kneels in front of me asking the one question that I did not want to answer, "What did she mean by you being the catalyst?"

Jasper tightens his hold on my hands as I make the effort to move and get up, and then lifts a finger to my chin and raising my head to look him in the eye, "Please Bella talk to me, remember we said no secrets."

I nod my head and murmur quietly, "My unwillingness to be involved is partially the cause for the issues that will be coming, and Charlie's death is just one of the ultimate consequences of my refusal."

Jasper inhales sharply realizing exactly what I am talking about, and stands up roaring in frustration. Carlisle and Esme are shocked and confused watching as I quickly get up and go to wrap my arms around his waist in comfort.

Jasper stiffens for a moment before instantly calming down at my touch and turning in my arms to hug me back as Carlisle looks questioningly at Jasper to which I reply.

"Charlie dies at the hands of one of you, because of…"

Frustrated at this point, I tighten my arms around his waist and whisper, "They can't know yet, it will kill them and it might change the outcome."

"Would it be better received when they find out the truth when it happens? Bella, they would appreciate the information coming from you now instead of later."

I start sobbing in earnest now, struggling to stand up as I finally face the truth of what he says, then from somewhere deep inside me I feel something powerful flow through my body as I lift my head and my eyes change colors blazing a swirl of black and red.

Jasper releases me and steps back as he sees my eyes that same color as they were when we were in the cafeteria that day. Carlisle and Esme rush to his side when he gasps and inhale sharply at seeing my eyes this color. As if they are far away I hear Jasper whisper, "Just like before in the cafeteria."

I listen to the voice that comes out of my mouth and it sounds nothing like me, "Now is not the time to tell them, they must find out as does everyone else when it happens. Their fate was sealed as their decisions were made when they too kept secrets from the family. As my fate is destined for tragedy so are theirs, but with great happiness will be forged from it and all will learn their lessons."

My eyes return to normal and I look down to notice that my skin is glows a vibrant shade of red. I look up and see them through the same haze of color as my eyes cloud over and I hear, "Hello Mommy, it's nice to meet you. My brother and I are looking forward to seeing you and Daddy when we are born. Tell him we say hello and think about what our names will be."

I gasp as my eyes clear and say to Jasper, "Our children say hello, and that they are looking forward to meeting us when they are born. They would like us to come up with names soon, a boy and a girl's name."

Shocked silence envelops the room as Jasper, Carlisle and Esme look at me before Jasper pulls me into his arms hugging me. I close my eyes in contentment knowing that things will work out for the best in the end no matter how we get there. Carlisle and Esme step back and look at the two of us before quietly leaving the room. Jasper picks me up and walks up the stairs to the bedroom and I drift off to sleep cradled gently in his arms hearing him whisper over and over as he rubs my belly, "I love you little ones and I can't wait to meet you."

Since I knew Charlie was on his way home at the moment, I asked if we could finish up this discussion another time, although Carlisle and Esme were not entirely happy with the outcome of the end of the meeting – simple because the spirit inhabiting my body at the moment refused to give them all of the information. But something told me that it wasn't the information presented – but that someone in our family would betray us, whether they knew about it or not.

The point being – familial betrayal is the worst sin of all because trust is broken, faith is shattered and a family is ripped apart. The worst part is that only Jasper, Charlie and I knew it would be Edward, we just didn't know how because even knowing bits of the future did not give us all the information we sought either.

I try to put it in the back of my mind and live for the now because no matter how much I wanted to worry about the little time that I have with Charlie and the uncertain future, I can't do anything about it or I would end up making the future worse and I wanted to find some amount of happiness out of this insane situation. I will appreciate this time that I can spend with Charlie and Jasper who are getting along great, even thought Charlie was a tinge disappointed about the pregnancy.

I was able to show him a future with both grandchildren who inherit his gift of visions. That brought him some comfort as well as the fact that his mane would be carried on whether it was by Charlie or by Swan, even though I had not talked about it to Jasper I'm pretty certain that he will not mind in the least.

Sometime later

By the time that my birthday came around my belly looks like I am almost 6 months pregnant, so the glamour spell came in exceptionally handy and I am glad that Arena taught me the stronger one. I planned a quiet birthday party with Charlie and the Blacks then a small quiet dinner with the Cullens, Alice asked if she could plan a birthday party but I declined. I told her I didn't need to plan anything but since I know how much she wanted to prove herself I agreed let her take me shopping for my birthday.

I have always found it ironic that my birthday falls on lovers' day, yeah I know, Eck – a Valentine Day baby, but have always hated it since my parents weren't that really in love. Every year since starting junior high school, I got hassled because my birthday was on February 14th and I didn't have a love. But everything changed once I got to Forks, NO ONE KNEW who I really am. I mean the whole town knows about me, but no one actually KNOWS me, hmm except for maybe Jasper.

It amazes me how much more in love I fall with him, he treats me with respect, love, encouragement and understanding. He's affectionate and does not mind sitting around the house reading or watching movies, we have so much in common from our love of the classics to the types of movies that we enjoy. Actually being in love is so much different from seeing the scenes played out in the movies that we watch and there are no words that I can come up with to describe the actually feeling.

The get together with Charlie and the Blacks was great, for once I was able to get what I wanted – a quiet evening of watching movies and pizza spent with my close ones. I had already received my presents – Angela gave me gift cards to clothing stores since she knows how much I love shopping, Jacob gave me dragon car seats for my baby, Charlie got me matching photo frames for the babies first pictures as well as an heirloom Athena Goddess statuette from his coven, handed down from generation to generation.

The quiet dinner went quite well, even with Edward there – he was courteous but spoke only when spoken too. Alice took me clothes shopping and gave me a gift certificate to a spa for the day, which really touched me, and I think she is hoping that this will bring us closer. Emmett and Rose gave me a gift certificate to a Tattoo parlor because I had mentioned previously that I wanted a new one of a phoenix.

I am waiting for Jasper to come over so we can ride over to my other house to drop our stuff off for this weekend. He claims he went hunting but I think he actually went to purchase my birthday gift, even though I told him that I did not want him to purchase anything for me but instead to get something for the babies. We are going to try and come up with names for the babies this weekend and I am so looking forward to it.

The weekly checkups with Carlisle are easy since all I have to do is come so he can measure my belly and do a sonogram, since it seems I am progressing faster than we actually thought I would, I believe it's because the babies are half vampire. I have started drinking animal blood to help the babies from drinking my own as they grow I inside me. Just then I feel them both kick as they think "Mommy, we can't wait to meet you and Daddy. It won't be long now, we'll see you soon, tell Daddy we said hello." I rub my belly smiling as tears fill my eyes because I love hearing them talking to me and I wish Jasper could have been here to sense them.

"Yes, babies. I told Daddy you said hello and he can't wait to meet you too."

Hmm Jasper, I close my eyes and picture Jasper and myself riding my motorcycle, me on the back while he's driving then hearing him laugh as I tighten my arms around his waist and lean back with my eyes closed as the wind blows through my hair. Scooting closer I grind my pelvis into his ass smiling at the growl that vibrates through his chest to mine as my hands slowly make their way down across his stomach brushing over his groin before gripping his upper thighs tightly.

But just as he brakes and turns to kiss me I wake up to the feel of cool fingers brushing across my cheek, "Jasper" I whisper before realizing that the scent does not match the name.

I sit up and open my eyes to see Edward standing back in my open doorway and I inwardly cringe seeing the gift bag in his hands. Hoping to keep the peace as long as possible and attempting to thwart the future that we have seen I keep my irritation to a minimum. With everything that has gone on I keep forgetting to inform Charlie about not wanting Edward in the house and with him here downstairs watching the game I could not really make a scene that would get Charlie hurt, I also had the babies to think about.

He looks at me for a moment quietly as I push out calmness to the room, replacing the copious amounts of lust and desire he is soaked in. Finally I stand up in front of the lounge chair and say "what are you doing here Edward?"

He snaps his attention to me replying, "You are really glowing Bella, you look exceptionally beautiful on your birthday."

I snort in irritation before I could stop myself and say, "My birthdays not until this weekend Edward."

"Oh, well I thought I would give you your gift early without an audience" he says stepping forward and holding out the present.

Inwardly fuming because he is not supposed to be in my house or anywhere near me I ask, "How did you get it? Do you think getting me a present is going to change how I feel? Where's Jasper, I thought they told you not to come around me?"

"Well, that would help if they knew I was here? But I came in peace to give you your birthday present. Please Bella, consider it a peace offering."

Warily I reach out for the present, sitting down on the bed before opening it. I push aside the paper and pull out a beautiful diamond necklace. I gasp out loud at the beauty of it wondering how much it cost, as the red diamonds sparkle at me in the sunlight. Pulling out the card in the bag I read, "Happy Birthday from Mr. Right."

I frown looking up at him smirking at me as I open myself to his mind to hear, "I knew she would fall for for my charms - hook, line and sinker. With a little patience she will be mine" as he moves closer saying out loud, "here let me put it on."

"Stop it Edward. I can't take this, it's too much" I say as I look down to put it back in the bag, closing it and my eyes as I attempt to contain the disgust from hearing his words in his head and knowing that things have not changed.

My eyes snap open as I hear a growl, but as I open my mouth to scream Edwards mouth crashes down on mine and he attempts to force his tongue down my throat, it's all I can do to not choke on the vileness that is his scent. His venom numbs my mouth as I struggle to get away from him. He pushes me down on the bed attempting to remove my clothes and growls in frustration when they just rip instead. I whimper as a sharp pain shoots through my abdomen and the glamour spell falls showing my stomach.

Just then he gasps in surprise as he feels movements across my stomach and I have just enough strength to scream "JASPER!!" in my head, before I'm possessed by some inhuman power and I telepathically throw him through the air, he crashes back into the wall taking it with him as he falls to the ground below. The same power puts up a force field around the house as I shudder against the headboard in shock and pain. I cry out as a painful stream of painful fire, worse than before ripples through my abdomen and I concentrate all my strength as I think Jasper, attempting to teleport him to me.

I hear Charlie storm up the stairs when he hears the wall explode but all I can think about is the pain and Jasper.

Alice POV

I see Edward crashing through the wall and falling to the ground then Bella curled up on her bed in pain.

"Carlisle, Esme!" I scream as I rush down the stairs, seeing him standing there with Esme, I scream loudly "Bella's in trouble, bring your bag" as I rush past him and through the woods hearing Jasper a few minutes later crashing through the trees ahead of me before he disappears from sight. I hear Carlisle and Esme gasp when they witness Jasper disappear, but I don't worry about that as I am in a hurry to get to Bella growling in fury as I think about killing Edward for all the damage he is doing.

Jasper POV

I'm reading a book in my library glancing at Bella's present that I am going to be giving to her as I feel the ring box burning a hole in my pocket when all of a sudden I double over in agonizing pain as fear and fire shots through my body. I roar in pain some more as an image of Bella double over in pain flashes through my mind and I hear her scream "Jasper!" in my head. I struggle to my feet and streak out of my house through the woods as I feel panic behind me and the sound of running feet coming up behind me.

Before I can turn and growl in attack a light flashes and the woods disappear, replaced by the sight of Bella's house missing the wall to her room. I freeze as I smell Edwards scent leading into the woods but before I can think about him I hear a sound that stops me world and tilts it on its side – Bella screaming in pain. I immediately crouch and jump through the hole in her wall – feeling myself pale even more as I see her laying in a fetal position with her arms wrapped around her stomach.

I see Charlie hovering in the doorway being held back by another force field and frozen in place.

Bella POV

I sense Jasper jumping through what's left of the wall of my room and I whimper out "Jasper" as I blink and he's behind me cradling me in his arms. The second I feel his arms wrap around me the pain subsides to a manageable level and by the time Carlisle, Esme and Alice jump through the hole in the wall, the pain is completely gone. Alice takes one look at the happiness and contentment on Jaspers face thinking, Wow – for the first time since I've known him he does not appear to be in pain, then "I'll keep an eye out for Edward" as she turns around and jumps back to the ground.

I let Charlie go and he rushes in and surrounds me along with Jasper, Carlisle and Esme. Carlisle starts a short exam to check me out, pausing when he listens to the twins as they settle down again. "Let's get her to the house so that I can check her out properly" he says putting his equipment away and standing up to look at us.

Babies POV

Eck, that's not Daddy's scent. We need to help Mommy. Take my hand brother. Holding hands they close their eyes and summon a force field that envelops them, Bella and expands to include the house. Glancing at each other and smiling when they hear Bella scream daddy's name loudly as they help her telepathically throw Edward off of her, into the wall and to the ground. Still holding each other's hand, they merge their powers and help Bella teleport Jasper as far as the backyard.

Jasper POV

The check up was okay, the babies are fine as I carry her down the stairs to the car and head down the driveway. Luckily for Carlisle and Esme, Edward never showed his face back at the house because if he had I would have ripped him to pieces and burned them. I left a message for Emmett and Rose who were out of town, that we would be starting the weekend early and to call me on my cell. As I drive to Bella's house I keep glancing down at her as she sleeps with her head in my lap, trying in vain to quell my rage at Edward right now. Although if I had to admit it I am more angry at myself because only now do I realize how obsessed he has become and how dangerous that can be, not just to Bella and the babies but to the whole family.

I call Charlie and update him on the status of Bella and the babies, also telling him to meet us at her house later so he could see that she was okay. I had planned on giving her the birthday presents that I got her – the set of her favorite first editions books, some professional pictures of waterfalls since she was so fond of the one I took her to. I was also going to ask her to marry me or at least ask if we could get engaged, because I don't think we would have time to plan a wedding with everything else that is going on. Maybe at the end of the weekend after I calm her down from Edward's attack on her, I will need to watch her more closely now that he knows about the babies, his obsession will go overboard from here on out, I'm pretty certain of it.

We are also going to work on picking out names for the babies I think as I place my hand on her stomach feeling them kick and move around. "I'm going to take care of your mother, little ones, I can't lose her or you guys, you are my life now."

"We trust you Daddy; tell mommy we're thirsty when she wakes up." I hear as my hand rubs across her belly, I'm startled but not enough to run off the road. I push contentment, happiness, love and comfort to her and them as I pull up to the road leading to her house. Gently shaking her awake I say, "Bella, we're here as she lifts her head up, "REVEAL."

I pull into the drive zipping around to the passenger side to pull her out and go into the house to lay her down on the couch as I go back to bring stuff in from the car. After I get everything settled and put away I get something to drink from the compartment and settle down next to Bella on the couch, pulling her into my arms and cradling her close to me as I wait for Charlie to come and check on her.

Bella POV

I have gotten over Edwards attack but not over forgetting and forgiving, which at this point I don't think is at all possible, not now. I refuse to be held responsible for his insanely obsessive quest for the one thing that he can't have. I told him how I felt and so did his family, it's not my fault that he didn't listen.

I loved the presents Jasper got me for my birthday; the books will especially come in handy for later on when I can only waddle around in pain from carrying twins.

We did not get the chance to choose names but I believe I am going to ask him how he would like naming our son after him – Jasper Charles Swan Whitlock, Jr. and our daughter Airic Athena Swan Whitlock. There is just something about the name Airic that calls to me, but I was also thinking about Ayala, Catarina or Morrigan. I think Jasper might get a kick out of naming his first and only son after him.

A vision comes to pass……

Charlie's POV

Hearing a knock on the door, I answer it to find a beautiful redhead standing there; she asks "Hello is Bella here?"

I shake my head, already knowing right away what she is, and just as I start to speak she smiles widely opening her mouth and showing her fangs before lunging at me. As I feel her claws sink into my neck I feel a vision come on…

Bella distraught as she finds my body……..Bella kneeling at the edge of a cliff invoking the Goddess Athena and getting struck by lightning……..the babies getting engulfed by the power as well……Jasper cradling her in his arms as she clings to him sobbing…….Bella exacting justice on Edward as he hangs in midair…then him screaming in pain………..Bella ripping the limbs off the one who is tearing up my house in fury………..Bella transformed happy……watching my grandchildren playing in the forest………Bella protecting her family from three men in white robes..

My last thoughts are of Bella, how much I love her, how proud of her I am and how I did not get to properly say goodbye.
