11. Unexpected Visitors
Aro, Marcus, Demetri and Felix stood in the doorway of the cabin. I had to take a double take in order to come back to reality. They were in their black cloaks and were very serious and still. Jack and Cooper stopped at the sound of the voices. I could tell both of them were in a panic. I watched as Felix and Demetri walked directly over to me. I could barley see their faces with their hoods on but I knew what they looked like their faces would never leave my mind. I looked up at Felix who had his arm extended out to me.
"I can't move" I barley could speak but the words came out very softly. Without any words he lifted me carefully and sat me down on the couch in a more comfortable position. Demetri made his way to Jacob and with ease un-tied him from the barbed wire. Aro and Marcus did not move an inch while this was being done.
"Aro, Marcus" Cooper sounded almost professional. He watched both of them carefully and made sure not to move to cause any sort of chaos.
"May I ask what is going on here?" Aro was very forward and direct. Felix stood right beside me with his arms at his side. I watched as Jacob's wounds began to heal quickly and he looked to almost be back to himself. He stood side by side with Demetri.
"Well sir it's simple you see we were just doing you a favor, getting rid of what shouldn't be" Cooper spoke up. Aro glared at him.
"What kind of a favor?" his face had no expression what so ever.
"Well those demons living inside of her need to be killed" he pointed towards me and all four the Volturi's heads turned in my direction. The pain still had not subsided at this point.
"Renesmee?" Aro looked at me with a questioning tone in his voice.
"Aro… I can't…. ask… please…Jacob…" I wrapped my arm around the bottom of my stomach and leaned forward. I knew Jacob would have run right to my side but he was scared to move. In the corner of my eyes I watched him turn his head to Jacob. Jacob's eyes had been glued to me the entire time, even when Aro first turned to him.
"You see sir, Renesmee and I are expecting, twins for that matter and we don't exactly know what they are at the moment, they have been growing at a human rate up until I guess a few weeks ago" Only for a second did he take his eyes off of me before pulling them right back in my direction. I looked up at him, my eyes were welling up with tears.
"We can't do anything or make any decisions until the babies are born, Renesmee we need to get you to Carlisle you don't seem to be doing very well" he sounded like he almost cared at that point. Jacob and I eyed each other with a look of confusion on our faces.
"Demetri, Felix please dispose of those gentleman" he stated pointing at Cooper and Jack.
"But sir, you can't just…" Aro held up his hand for silence.
"Cooper you can't go around doing our job you are not one of us and we have no use for you or your new vampire friend" Felix and Demetri walked away from Jacob and I and made their way to Cooper and Jack. Felix grabbed Cooper and Demerti grabbed Jack. Both of them began to fight their way out of the tight grip that the two Volturi had on them.
"You can't do this Aro you have no right" Cooper yelled. Jack seemed like the only one who knew to be silent. I heard Aro laugh for only a second.
"Talking back to me won't help your situation son" he reminded him. Still he tried to fight his way. Jack still had not said a word but was still growling loudly and pulling himself from Demetri.
"Jacob please take your wife, we will follow you back we have to have a word with Carlisle" Aro said looking at both of us.
"Yes of course Aro" he said in a respectful tone. The cuts on his skin from the barbed wire had pretty much disappeared. He walked over to me without hesitation wrapped his warm arms around my body.
"I got you Ness" he whispered. I nodded my head and let him pick me up he seemed to have no trouble picking me up. He looked at Aro and Marcus and nodded his head. They acknowledged him back and Jacob quickly made his way out the door the two of them followed directly behind us. As we pulled away I heard the most terrifying noise, the sound of necks snapping and scream's of horror. Who knows what they had done to them before they snapped their necks but what ever it was it was not pretty. I clenched tighter on Jacob when I heard the screams and the smoke began to rise in the distance.
"Don't worry baby girl their gone your safe" he whispered. To hear his voice again was like hearing your favorite song on the radio that you haven't heard in months. The excitement and thrill you get is amazing and I felt amazing now that Jacob was safe. Once we reached Forks and my Grandfather's house we noticed a bunch of shadows standing in front of the house. It was everyone Alice must have seen the Volturi coming to the house. There in front of the house stood Grandpa, Grandma, Mom, Dad, Aunt Alice, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rosalie and Uncle Emmett waiting for our return. When the four of us stopped Mom and Dad ran directly to Jacob and I. They both had their arms around Jake and I as Jake still held me in his arms.
"My dear friend Carlisle I'm sorry we keep meeting like this" he sounded apologetic.
"Aro what brings you here?" he questioned. Grandpa stepped forward toward Aro to speak with him.
"Your Granddaughter she needs you I need you to make sure that everything goes well with this birth, when everything is sorted out we have to take proper precautions once they are born though you do know that" Grandpa nodded after Aro finished talking.
"I know this is hard but we have to protect our kind and I'm sorry it has to come down to this I just wanted to tell you in person that if I have to come back I will without hesitation. We will come the way we did when Renesemee was born" he was very serious. Grandpa Carlisle cleared his throat before he spoke.
"Yes we understand" he said.
"Now that we have that out of the way I think you should bring Renesmee inside she is in a lot of pain, the two who held Jacob and Renesmee hostage are no longer with us, I had them killed immediately for going behind our backs on this matter. You know how the rules go" he tilted his head slightly toward Grandpa.
"Thank you Aro that is kind of you to help us out this time. It was good to see you" Grandpa said sincerely. Aro nodded his head and motioned for Marcus to start heading out. The two of them turned and ran quickly into the distance. Before I knew it everyone was gathered around me all with worried voices.
"Guys lets get her inside give her space" Grandpa said. Everyone backed away as Jacob carried me up the steps and into the house. I don't remember much after that fact because something shot through my body and everything again went black.
When I woke up I was in the familiar room where I had always been if something had gone completely wrong. I looked around the room Grandpa Carlisle was sitting over at the desk underneath the T.V writing something down. The only other family member in the room was Mom she lay on the foot of the bed curled up in a ball. She must had been there waiting for me. Without any hesitation I quickly felt my stomach to make sure things had not gone wrong, luckily I still felt huge. My stomach however did grow a little bit more. There was definitely a growth spurt happening here, which hopefully meant that the Volturi wouldn't be coming back.
"Mom" my voice was horse as I spoke. She heard my right away and shot right up in one swift motion.
"Nessie" she stated as she got off the bed and walked over to the head of the bed where I was. I noticed that I once again had IV's in my arms. She smiled at me lightly.
"How are my babies?" I questioned her.
"Honey they are just fine, we think at least one of them should turn out just like you" she told me.
"And the other one" I asked.
"We don't know we are hoping both are" she said.
"How can we tell?" I asked. Mom looked directly at Grandpa Carlisle who had turned around in his chair to face us.
"Well good afternoon Nessie you sure can knock yourself out" he laughed slightly pushing the chair back and standing up. He walked over to the bed and checked the monitor I was attached to.
"Your doing great Nessie, we won't have a problem with you like we had with your Mother hopefully things seem to be okay and at this rate you may be popping those babies out sooner than 9 months so I want you right here" he told me. I sighed and looked up waiting for him to answer my questioned.
"As for Vampire's they could very well both be, but then you have to remember about Jacob once they started phasing their bodies reacted to getting older faster but yet staying at a steady age"
"So one of them could be phasing?" I asked.
"No they definitely aren't doing that but once the baby does come who says that can't happen, which would mean they would have to grow at an alarming rate" he told me. I nodded.
"And what if say one of them is a werewolf this won't go over well with the Volturi" I reminded him. Mom squeezed my hand at the name I had just spoken.
"Even if they are I would think they would still have part of you in them, and I think Aro and I could come to an understanding especially since he saved you the way he did and he knows what could happen if he took action" Grandpa spoke sincerely but I still wasn't buying it. I just nodded in effort to make Mom feel better about it. I rubbed my stomach lightly under the covers and looked over at Mom.
"Would you like to take a look Ness?" he questioned. I looked over at him and nodded.
"Why don't I go get Jacob he always seems to miss this part" Mom said. I smiled at her. Every time I had come to see the babies he was at work and I was on my lunch break, it would be nice if he had gotten to see first hand the progress of our babies. A few minutes after Mom left Jake peaked his head around the door.
"May I come in?" he asked.
"Of course you're invited" I laughed. Grandpa snickered with me. Jacob shut the door softly behind him and made his way to the bed. He stood on the other side of the bed holding my hand tight in his grip.
"So I finally get to see this in action?" he questioned. I nodded. Grandpa had already applied the cold gooey guck to my exposed stomach. After the machine was ready he placed it on my stomach and began to move it around a bit so that we could catch what was going on. He smiled when he came across the two babies inside of me.
"Wow Ness the have grown a significant amount haven't they?" Grandpa questioned me. I nodded. Jacob watched carefully as his two babies lay facing each other you could see practically everything had been formed already and it was almost like I was more than 5 months pregnant.
"Looks like you are well past the 8 month mark" he began to study the picture in front of him.
"Is that bad?" I questioned.
"No of course not, your just going to have these babies very soon, it seems very close to 9 months so just prepare yourselves okay?" he questioned. I looked at Jacob who looked whiter than I did at the moment. I nudged him as he stared off directly at the babies.
"Jake you okay?" I questioned. He faintly smiled and nodded.
"Do you need to sit Jacob?" Grandpa questioned.
"No I'm fine" he said but I knew he was lying.
"I guess Daddy won't be joining us during the delivery he looks a bit queasy" Grandpa laughed. I snickered a bit with him.
"No I'm fine honest" both Grandpa and I started to laugh hysterically. I heard a knock on the door as we both were a bit loud.
"Can I come in?" it was Dad. Lovely a room full of men.
"Yes Edward" Grandpa said. The door opened slowly and he looked at us.
"What's with all the laughter in here?" he questioned. Grandpa and I looked at each other and Jacob backed up a bit folding his arms.
"Jacob's just a bit queasy about the whole baby thing" I laughed.
"Jacob man wow you kind of look like me a bit, pale complexion" My Dad joked along with us.
"Guys I'm fine really" he nodded almost falling over.
"Baby it's okay if you can't handle it" I told him. He gave me a reassuring smile.
"It's fine" he told me. Dad walked over to the monitor and looked at the picture.
"Wow they look like fully grown babies" he noted.
"We are expecting Ness to deliver within the next few weeks" Grandpa told him.
"What she's only …" he trailed off.
"Yeah but we may have some Vampire's or Werewolves on our hands things are much different" he told me. He began to start to clean off my stomach and waited to get the newest picture of my babies for the album.
Later that night Jacob and I were lying there together just enjoying each others company. It would be our last few weeks to enjoy just us time before the babies came.
"Hey Ness?" he questioned.
"Mmm" I replied both of us had our hands on my stomach.
"You know I do want to be here during the birth?" he questioned.
"I know baby and you will be even if we have to blind fold you so you can't see" I laughed. He smiled lightly.
"Seriously though I really want to"
"With the way you looked today I would have to say differently I don't want you passing out on me" I told him.
"I promise I'll be good" he smiled rubbing around my belly button.
"Do you think I look any bigger than before?" I questioned. He looked me straight in the eye he took in a deep breath to answer.
"Ah Jake holy crap I think it's time" I shot up in bed and clenched down on my stomach quickly as I felt wetness grow underneath me. He never had gotten a word out it was time I felt it no matter how early it was I was ready.
"CARLISLE!!!!" I head him yell.
