DISCLAIMER - ALL CHARACTERS BELONG TO STEPHANIE MEYERS.

STORYLINE BELONGS TO ME.

I pull her up kissing her passionately as I walk her backwards to the shower pushing us both under the spray before pulling back and lovingly washing us off. We kiss gently and lovingly knowing that as soon as we step out of the shower we are going to have the talk about her visions and what this means for the family.

Rosalie POV – flashback – Receiving Cat

I sit watching Emmett as he lies on the bed pretending to sleep while cuddling Cat as she is sleeping. I swear that man has officially been whipped by an infant, but something tells me neither one of them could care at the moment. After being handed Cat, Emmett and I retreated to our room to spend some quality time getting to know our daughter. OUR DAUGHTER – I can't seem to get over hearing that, no matter how many times I say it. I sat down with her in the rocking love seat (specifically made for Emmett and I) while Emmett got some formula together to feed her.

"Emmett, don't forget it has to be the right temperature, use the thermometer since you can't test it on your wrist" I say rocking her back and forth.

She seems to have some sense that I am different than her, I get the feeling that she is going to be a special little girl and I don't mind in the least.

We had a microwave brought into our room just so we didn't have to run up and down the stairs, I think we both wanted to spend as much quality time with her as possible getting to know everything about her.

YES! I KNOW! She's an infant and there's not much to get to know at this point in time, but I'M SO FUCKING EXCITED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

Since we knew we were going to be receiving her we made arrangements to finish our last semester home schooling, we just had not had the time to inform Carlisle or Esme of our decision yet. However, all of the paperwork was complete and we would still graduate with the rest of our class. But to be honest, we really could not care since we have been to high school more time than I could count. It sucks stuck looking like a teenager for the rest of your life.

After changing her diaper and feeding her Emmett and I rocked her to sleep in the rocking chair before putting her down to sleep in her new crib. Emmett spent the rest of the night kneeling next to her crib watching the rise and fall of her chest as she breathed. Amazingly she slept the whole night through, and I had to threaten Emmett with no sex for 6 months if he did not leave her alone. As the days passed I had to admit she is very smart and clever even as a newborn baby. She seems to know that Emmett will do anything to protect her. She has him LITERALLY wrapped around her little fingers, he just gets this soft look on his face when she is grasping his hand as he feeds her a bottle.

2 months later

We've had her for about 2 months now and she's growing like a reed, entertaining her Aunts, Uncles and cousins with her laughter at the simplest things that they do. Emmett is still as protective, if not more so than, when we first got her, but seems to realize that the family, especially her Grandparents will do anything for her. She has become extremely spoiled, maybe since we have not had children in the house before. There are times when I catch her watching me while I am talking and it kind of makes me think that she knows, even at her age, what we are. Even at this young age she has keener senses than a vampire, makes me wonder if there is more to her than what we see.

Jasper POV

After washing her thoroughly I proceeded to get on my knees and worship at the Temple of Bella, her taste is A-FUCKING-MAZING – a taste that I can't seem to get enough of. I start sucking more passionately as I realize once again that I have all of eternity to suck her sweet juicy pussy.

Hearing her panting and moaning my name makes me hard, knowing that it's me – JASPER FUCKING WHITLOCK – who is bringing her pleasure. Just then she screams my name and I vaguely wonder why no one has come to check on her screaming.

Then the thought and everything else leaves my mind, as she murmurs, "Prendere me ora, per favore Jasper ho bisogno di sentirsi si Orgy mi rigido e profondo."

I am instantly hard, standing up and pinning her to the bathroom tile as I slam into her thrusting fast, hard and deep. I grunt into her neck my thrusting becoming erratic when she bites my neck as her orgasm rips through her sending her to pieces. We stay tangled up together until our breathing returns to normal before washing off again, toweling dry and heading to the bedroom where we both dress in lounge pants and wife beaters.

Getting comfortable on the bed, sitting side by side, Bella is play with my fingers finding comfort in the simple gesture. I am about to speak into the silence when she starts first and says the thing I want to hear.

"Jasper, I think we should speak to Carlisle first, then Esme, then the rest of the family" she says quietly.

I remain quiet for a moment before saying just as quietly "I think you're right, mainly because I am unsure of how Carlisle will react to this news and once his reaction is out of the way we will be able to better help Esme when we tell her."

"I'm just afraid of his reaction – do you think he will be upset that I've kept this from him, from the family? I mean Edward was his first companion and to know that he is being used to destroy the family that Carlisle has worked so hard to build."

"Bella" I say quietly lifting her chin to look her in the eyes, "Carlisle LOVES you. He may be a bit angry in the beginning but he WILL forgive you, as will Esme."

I scoot around to sit in front of her, "We'll get through this and the Volturri will pay in the end."

Bella looks down at her hands then up at me asking, "Should we tell him now or when we get to our final destination?"

I tilt my head to the side considering the outcome of telling him now and giving us more time to assimilate the information compared to telling him when we reach our final destination.

"I think we should tell him now and then let him decide on when to tell the rest of the family."

"We should also do it away from the others, just to make sure, maybe under the guise of going hunting with Carlisle just the two of us" I say watching her face light up with the knowledge that we will be far enough away from others that Carlisle can't harm anyone in his rage.

Bella smiles her brilliant loving smile at me before sliding into my lap and whispering, "I love you Jasper and I'm sorry again for not coming to you sooner."

"It's okay my love, just remember that we are in this together with the family and we will conquer any obstacle put in our way."

"Now, there's one more thing I wanted to discuss with you Jasper" I trail off as I reposition myself to my knees.

"Yes, Bella, anything" Jasper replies as I cradle his hands in mine before looking into his eyes and taking a deep breath.

"Jasper, I have loved you for my entire life and yours, I will love you for eternity because you help me to always see the better things in life. You strengthen, help, comfort, and encourage me. I want to spend the rest of our existence showing you how much you mean to me. Will you marry me?"

To say that I am shocked into silence is an understatement since we have never discussed getting married. Neither one of us felt the need to pronounce our love with marriage vows, but maybe that was just me that was thinking that."

"Bella what brought this on? I mean…we've never discussed marriage before and honestly I never thought you would want to get married."

"Honestly Jasper, I never thought I would want to get married either, but if we should go into this upcoming battle and not survive, as if, then I want us to be tied together in every way possible – venom, children, love and marriage."

I grin widely at her in wonder, because Bella never ceases to amaze me with her insights or anything that she does for that matter.

"Yes, Bella I will marry you" I reply leaning in to kiss her passionately, groaning in pleasure as she leans back on the bed spreading her legs and letting me nestle comfortably in between them.

What the hell, we have a couple more hours before the family is due and I would very much love to fuck my new fiancé senseless again and again and again, all at vampire speed.

Later that night middle of the forest…..

"Dad, what I'm about to show and tell you must remain between us for now. It's imperative that you not tell Esme or the rest of the family until we decide what our plan of action will be."

"You know you can tell me anything Bella, I'm here to help" Carlisle says quietly looking between the two of us.

Kneeling in front of him while Jasper stands off to the side, I grasp his hands in mine. Glancing at Jasper once more, I smile and gather my courage from him when he nods and smiles back before closing my eyes and showing Carlisle the visions that I have been having of Aro and his brothers.

Edward is going to the Volturri to seek help in breaking the spell. They'll be surprised to see him in the state he's in, more so because they've never come across a vampire with his soul intact and they will want to know the story about what happened.

They'll be disappointed in his threat to kill Charlie, but more concerned about a witch who is able to place such a spell on a vampire. They find it disturbing and unconventional and will coming to see Bella, Edward also tells them about her being pregnant and they want the babies to see what kind of power they might have.

They'll come under the façade of friendship because of Carlisle but when Bella refuses to join them as well as protecting her babies; they don't take the news very well

****

Well brothers it appears our plans to destroy Carlisle and his family have not gone according to plan.

****

It's nice to see you again Edward, how is the family? Aro sneers as he reaches out to touch Edward's forehead, reading all of the memories past and present.

Pushing him away, Aro laughs you couldn't even destroy the girls' father and she thwarted you at every opportunity. This girl is feisty I must meet her, I wonder if she is as strong as the witch who put the spell on you 50 years ago.

I wonder, brothers, if she is the one from the prophecy, the one the witch spoke of before we killed her for her betrayal of warning us about the old woman seer.

We'll have to plan a visit to go see them; we can make it anytime because their little seer is incapacitated as well.

Edward looks at them in horror of what they are saying before being dragged away screaming.

I feel Carlisle tense and out of the corner of my eye Jasper stiffen in response, then Carlisle growls as Jasper attempts to send out a wave of calmness and tranquility.

However, I don't think we took into account how much rage and fury would be coursing through Carlisle at what the Volturri were attempting to accomplish.

Finally Jasper can't hold out any longer and crumbles under the waves of rage and fury pouring out of Carlisle.

Luckily for all of us I have erected a force field around us for a 5 mile radius just to make sure we had privacy and that no human would interfere with our discussion.

So while Carlisle vented and took his frustration our on the surrounding forest, I helped Jasper regain control by blocking him from Carlisle's emotions.

When Jasper was finally able to sit up without clutching his or head while roaring in pain, we both sit and wait until Carlisle regained his control.

It took him two hours, and shredded forest in front of us, to calm down enough to return to us. When he did he was disheveled, dirty, his clothes were ripped and his hair was completely un-Carlisle like.

Oh his face was the most agonized look that I have ever seen and it broke my heart apart some more, filling it with volcanic lava of anger.

"What do we do Carlisle? The Volturri must pay; do we just destroy the brothers or the entire guard as well? They're coming and we need to be prepared to fight."

"I can't think about that right now Bella, I need to be alone so that I don't hurt someone or anyone in the family. I-I-I-I can't think right now. I need to think about everything rationally and I CAN'T RIGHT NOW!!!!" Carlisle roars out at the end.

"I put a force field around the area, Carlisle, specifically to keep you in so that you can work through your emotions and return to the calm, cool, thinking patriarch of this family. Unfortunately Carlisle I don't believe it would be a great idea to let you go off alone right now."

"I DON'T CARE!!!!!!" roars Carlisle again in pain and consumed by fury again.

Standing up I walk over to him and place my hands on his shoulders pushing as much calmness, understanding, love and determination to him letting him know that it's okay to be fucking pissed off at the turn of events.

"Carlisle, this is not the way. If you go to them now, like this, not only will they succeed in destroying you but also the whole family as well. EVERYONE will die; it's not just us and our family at stake here."

"Think of Esme……think of getting the real Edward back…….think of the rest of the family…….think of your grandchildren…….Jr……Airic…….Cat"

"I completely agree that we must avenge Edward but we must also get him back. We still need to deal with James first as well as getting Alice's visions back."

"I think she is a direct descendant of the woman Aro and his brothers were talking about. If she is then her powers are greater than theirs and we are going to need them."

"BELIEVE ME, I swear the Volturri will fall, I have seen it. But we do not have the luxury of going I there pissed off; we must do it the right way not the angry way. Please Carlisle, Dad; we can't do this on our own."

Jasper speaks up, "I can strategize an attack, however; you are familiar with the Volturri, their guard, everything that we could possibly need to know about them to defeat them."

"If we defeat them correctly, others will think twice about coming up against us and attempting to replace them as the new royalty. We need to take them out in such a way that ON ONE else will want to make a play for power in their place."

Carlisle stumbles to his knees in pain roaring out in frustration and fury as both Jasper and I wait for him to calm down once again.

Making my way back to Jasper's side to sit down, I watch him take a deep breath, several in fact attempting to reign in the fury coursing through him.

By the time Carlisle calms down, I have finally decided to check my messages and noticed that I have 10 missed calls from each of my family members not present.

I opened a whole in the shield place a call to Rosalie, dialing as I watch Carlisle speed around the confines of the field attempting one last time to get out and wreck havoc.

"Hello, Bella?" "Where are you? Are you okay; are Jasper and Carlisle with you?"

"Yes, yes and yes" I reply quietly watching Carlisle run out the rest of his fury before sitting down in front of Jasper and I.

"We're talking; we're fine and should be back before the children wake up. I will explain everything, but be ready to hit the road once we return" I say in an ask-no-questions-right-now tone of voice.

Silence then, "Alright, I'll see you then." "Thanks Rose"

By the time I have finished my call Carlisle has finally reined in his fury and looks more like the calm, calculating, think before I act father figure.

"So, Bella, I think the questions now would be – how much of what's happened has been Edward and how much is influenced by the Volturri" Carlisle asks sneering the name Volturri.

"I don't know Carlisle, I honestly don't. So far my visions of Edward have been limited and consist mainly of him recently. I think that might have to do with the spell Aro was talking about. I think it also depends on when you started noticing the difference in him."

"I'm going to say right after his rebellious years, he came back much different than when he left. In the beginning he was jittery, jumpy, startled by the smallest things and spent a lot of time in his room."

"At the time I chalked it up to him weaning himself off of human blood, but now that I think about it those symptoms could have been anything."

"He picked fights with Rose when she first got here, then the next day he would want to spend all day with her getting to know her."

"He fought going back to school and playing a teenager more often than not. He had multiple personalities or maybe just split personalities, every day was different. I couldn't seem to keep up with him and neither could Esme."

"After about five years he took off again to roam the world, but calm back calmer like he was when I first turned him. The only problem was it was a dark calmness, kind of like the predator that pulls wings off of flies before moving up to bigger victims."

Putting his head in his hands Carlisle takes a deep breath and thinks back over all the years with Edward.

"Yes, I would have to say it started during his rebellious years, he fought hard against living off of animal blood saying something about us being vampires and humans being our blood bags. Their sole purpose is to be our food and nothing else. His exact words were the vicious truth Carlisle is that humans are made to be our food, we are superior to them and they should be happy to grace our palate."

"I didn't think anything of it at the time because my sole purpose was to help him but now that I think about it those were the same words that Aro used when I left after my years with them."

"I think we should stop and speak with my Peter before heading to Montana, he might be able to shed some light on what's going on with the other factions. He knows things about everything; don't ask me how or why – he just does. If we are going to war we need to be properly prepared and Peter just might be able to help us" Jasper says quietly.

"That's a great idea Jasper and we can also use that time to tell the rest of the family about what's going on. They need to be as prepared as possible for what's coming" Carlisle says as I get up and kneel down in from of him to pull him into a hug.

"Dad, we're going to get Edward back and make him better, and the Volturri will pay" I say pulling back to look at him with my eyes flashing black and red as I feel Athena simmering underneath the surface of my skin waiting to come out and play.

Perhaps this is the battle that she has been waiting for.
