Lucifer paced the bottom of the stairs Lythian and Miguel sat on the bottom step. "Would you PLEASE stop. Your making me more nervous." Lythian said with uneasiness.
Lucifer stopped turning to them,"Sorry, I'm worried about her. What's taking him so long?" Lucifer looked up the stairs.
"Relax, he's looking over her. The least we could do is give him time after what we nearly did to them."
All three of them hung their head feeling lower then dirt they nearly killed a family that was not at fault. One minute they were in their living room trying to figure out what to do the next thing they know their were in the Cullen's living room. When Danial had fainted no one knew what to do trust was a big issue in the situation. Carlisle wouldn't let anyone near Danial until he looked her over. Rosalie still angry with the three lashing out at them if Emmett hadn't stopped her at Carlisle's commanded.
Lucifer, Miguel and Lythian gave their word they would not try anything as long as the rest of the Cullen family left them alone and not tempt them with the whole "this is you fault" speech. Agreeing to this Carlisle went up stair and had not come down for about an hour.
Another half an hour later Carlisle called the three of them to the room.
---------------
"Are you alright?" Edward asked for the hundred time.
Jacob smile not bothering to open his eye. He was too comftorble laying on the ground with Edward and wanted to stay that way. I'm fine. So stop with the worring. "Can't help it."
They fell silent each wondering back to what Carlisle had said. It was to unbelievable that they just couldn't accepted fully. There was fear in both of them. A baby was something neither of them had on their minds for at least a few years to come. Edward had thought of maybe adoption. There were kids in the world that needed parents. Sure he hadn't work out the whole being a vampire issue, but he did want a family. He just hadn't told Jacob about it.
For his part Jacob was a little afraid. He wasn't ready for a kid but less have one. Started a family had never cross his mind, didn't mean he might not want one. He didn't want to talk about it until he got a chance to talk with Danial. He was sure she knew how this happen. "Lets go back." Jacob open his eyes to look at Edward.
Edward saw fear that match his own. "Okay"
--------------
Coming down stairs Danial came to view of the almost cleared up living room. "What are you doing up? Your still very weak." Carlisle still could not get over the feeling that told him to protect her.
"I'm fine would everyone stop worrying. Carlisle is everyone still here?"
"Jacob and Edward should be almost here. Rosalie tried to leave but I manage to keep her here."
"Good, get everyone together its time for all of us to get to know each other."
"Alright, go to the study room I'll gather everyone."
"Danial, your alright." Jacob called out coming through the front door followed by Edward.
"Edward, good you're here please show them to the study room I will get the rest."
The study was big there were shelves of old looking books and a desk with two chairs in front of it. A large window behind the desk had a view that was breath taking. In the center of the room there were three black leather couches all faced the desk. "Danial, what is this meeting for?" a curious Jacob asked.
"It about time to answer all the unanswered questions. I want to know what's going on around here and I'm sure that the Cullen's want to know who exactly we are."
"Wha--" Jacob's vision became blurry he stumbled a little.
"Jacob!" Edward was be his side in seconds holding him steady. "You okay?" he asked with worried in his voice.
"Yeah, just a little dizzy." he answered as Edward lead him to one of the couches.
Danial came closer taking a good look at him. Something's wrong here Jacob looks like he hasn't eating a thing in days. "You sure your alright?" she asked the second she put her hand on his she was hit with a block out.
Vision
Jacob was in bed Edward laying next to him, "Can't believe we're having a baby." Jacob smiled at Edward pure love was in his eyes. A round bell could be seen as Edward put is and on it. "Here move your hand over here." Jacob directed Edward's hand to the left side of his stomach. Withing seconds Edward felt a movement against his hand. A bright smile came to his face.
"Strange ain't it?" Jacob asked putting his hand over Edward's.
End of Vision
Letting go of Jacobs had Danial was gasping for air immediately her brother and Lythian were at her side. "Danial what's wrong?" Lucifer asked.
"Calm down relax and try to get you breathing back to normal." Lythian instructed.
After a few minutes Danial finally relaxed she looked straight at Jacob and Edward shock and wonder in her eyes. "Wow, the only thing I can say is congrats you guys." everyone in the room looked at her funny. "What?" she asked looking at everyone in the room.
"Alright we're all here. Lets all take a seat and began." Carlisle announced coming in with the rest of his family.
"You really have great time did you know?" Lucifer said getting his sister on the couch everyone follow quickly.
"Did something happen?" Carlisle asked taking a seat himself.
"Oh no, Danial almost suffocated to death which she doesn't take seriously. She would rather congratulate Edward and Jacob on God knows what while I'm here trying to figure out what is going on with her!?" by now Lucifer was trying really hard not to strangle his sister.
"Feel better?" Danial asked with a smile in her face.
"Don't push you luck now what is going on. Now lets sit down and you tell us what is going on?"
All eyes turned to Danial waiting for her to answer, "When Edward and Jacob came to get me I focused on you three, but I was block due to a spell. Now the only spell strong enough to block a sibling bond is one cast by the Ancients. They must have unleash all the repressed emotions inside of you three which made you lose it and attack them." She gesture to the Cullen.
It was strange for the Cullen to hear all this talk about spells and what not. Miguel, Lucifer and Lythian were shock that they had not sense they were being put in one. "Wait so your telling us that the Ancient put a spell on us without us even sensing it?" Lythian asked unable to believe it.
"Yeah, but it takes a lot out of them when doing these kind of spell. If they could do this more regularly them we would be at their mercy."
"Danial, who exactly are the Ancients?" Carlisle asked finding great intrest in them.
Danial seem to hesitate for a moment. "The Ancient were good people many years ago. They turned their backs on the magical beings and exposed them to humans. First it was witches, since we were the one to oppose a greater threat to them."
"And you."
"And me."
"Why?" Rosalie pressed on.
"Because I was never suppost to be born. You see, when I was born a power was created in a battle between the head, or royal, witches and leader of demons. Both wanted to obtain it to distroy the other. Since the power couldn't decide which side to take it chose the first child born on that day. I was first child born on that day making me the only choice."
"Carlisle told us that he met a young girl who was a witch was that you?" Esme looked at her with such care in her eyes.
"Yes, it was me."
"But how is it that your here?" Carlisle wanted to know so bad.
"The time we met the final battle or what I thought would be the final battle with the Ancients was to be fought. You found me in the woods in the hut that I lived, remember?" Carlisle nodded remembering the little hut he had found a sick Danial. "Well, the power inside of me was growing at a fast rate making me sick. I was very vulnerable to attacks but with your help I was able to get better and leave as soon as possible. I didn't want anyone to get hurt because of me."
"Sis, how is it that you became you know?" Miguel asked
"What?" Emmett asked
"There was a time of peace. An alliance between witches, werewolves and vampires was made. I train with for five years. Then one day the Ancients just attack no warrnings. I started tp gather strong fighter of any kind. With my studies of spells and potions we were able to make enought to get us pass the defences of magic the Ancients had set up. Many creatures of the hidden community of magic had been gathering power for when the day to end the nightmare would come. Still with all that much power it was still not enought. We had to fall back many were badly injure myself included."
It hit Carlisle. "That was why I found you near death."
"Yes, we were being follow by demon pets known as Shadow Creepers so we decided to split up."
"So what happed after you left." Carlisle asked.
"I found a way to seperate myself from the Hollow the name given to the power. In doing that I would be giving my body to it and release it all at once."
"You mean like a bomb?"
"Yes and no. The Hollow startes to concentrate in a fairly big diamiter. The crystal rocks were created in that very night. The crystal are accually a very small amount of the Hollow that trapped the Anciants and me inside them. Crystals are formed making a sheild that would contain most of the Hollows release. It didn't mean that it would keep the others safe."
"But the Ancients weren't killed."
"No they weren't the sons of bitches were one step ahead of me."
"What do you mean?"
"Just before the Hollow released they called forward a Secondary Ralem."
"A what?"
"Its a plane were nothing exsits. In this plane they are practually God. So instead of killing them I incaged can never get out unless I was to willenly give the Hollow my body. I thought that would be the end of it, but it wasn't. Instead of dieing and crossing over, the Hollow to insure its survival encased me Life Crystal. My body slowly repaired from the huge amount of magic it was not perpare to use. After I wakened I was told of my new path. I became the Reborn Guardian and because of the power that rested in me I'm to be reborn in a new live or be reborn in a new world or plane which there are many of them." Danial frowned at this.
"You don't like this do you?" Rosalie asked. She's just like me, in a way.
"No, every single death I go through I hope I don't awaken from it. I've lived many lives had many siblings and parents. I've lost many of them because I couldn't protect them. What good is it to have these powers and abilities if they can't save the ones you love and care for?" Danial whispered.
Silence filled the room all in deep thought of what they had just learned. Jacob was not doing well, God I'm tired. Edward turned to him having heard his thoughts. Its nothing to get over worried about just tired. But it didn't matter what Jacob said Edward was now more worried about him and his well being. Getting the courage to asked Edward cleared his throat getting the attention of Danial and everyone else. "Danial, uh, I don't know how to asked this, but, uhm, is it possible for, uhm... for a man to--"
"Yes." Danial interrupted his knowing what he was about to asked. "Well not without some help they can't and only nonmortal ones." Edward looked at her in surprise that she knew what he was going to ask her.
"What? What are you two taking about?" Lucifer asked not liking it when he didn't understand the situation. The rest of Edward's family could guess what they were talking about.
"I know because I had a vision which is odd because I don't have the power of premonition only forseeing."
"Premonition? You had a premonition? What did you see?" Lythian asked
Danial only looked at Jacob who nodded in approval to what she was silently asking him, "I saw a very pregnant Jacob." GASPS.
The three young witches stared at Jacob with widen eyes and open mouths. Miguel getting back his voice shouted, "WHAT!? HOW!? WHEN!?" he looked from Jacob to Danial and back.
"That is what we like to know." Carlisle asked
All eyes where turned to Danial awaiting the explanation of how this is possible. Sighing she began to explain, "A nonmortal man can get pregnant th-- two different ways." everyone lean in. "One, a womb can form inside a magical male this is very, very rare though. Second, some male can just get pregnant ther is not womb needed. I haven't realy any idea way. The pregnancy of a man last only eight months which makes the symptoms come within days of the conception."
"Jacob who is the father?" Jacob only stared at Lythian. "What, you're the one carrying the child which make you the mother, doesn't it?" Danial nodded to Lythian's question.
"I am." Edward answered
"Did not see that coming." Lucifer said very affected with all that was happening.
"Question, you said that it was rare for a man to get pregnant in the way a woman does, how was it possible for Jacob to get pregnant this time? What made it happen?" Esme asked
"Uhm, Edward Jacob when was the last time you two ,uhm, you know?"
"Got all up in each others goodies." Lucifer offered the words.
"Yeah."
Jacob and Edward both looked down not looking at any one in the face. Edward you tell them. Jacob plead. Sighing Edward looked up, "That day you first arrived."
"Well, there you go at least now I know that what I'm going through was not for nothing."
"Come again." Alice asked finally speaking up.
"From what I can remember when Carlisle bit me I let out a huge wave of life source which made me still be alive while my being was in the Astral Plane. It must have some how gotten where Edward and Jacob were..."
"Getting all up in each others goodies," Lucifer offered the words again.
"Yeah, you see when magic is released in a big amount it will find the closest magical being it can find. And since you two where together that doubled your chances of being hit with it."
Jacob got up heading to the door Edward quickly followed signaling for the rest to stay put. This is unbelievable. Jacob ran shaky hands through his hair pacing the porch. What am I going to do and if Billy or the pack find out there will be serious trouble. Listening to his thoughts Edward wrapped his arms around Jacob making he stop his pacing. "Don't worry I won't let anything happen to you or... our child." For some reason it felt normal to say "our child" it brought a sense of warmth to Edward, which surprised him.
Jacob just smiled. Our child this doesn't creep you out in the least bit? he asked looking up at Edward. "No, should it?" Edward asked, "I'm a vampire in love with a werewolf I could care less how you were able to conceived all I care about now is you and this little one." Edward brought a hand to Jacob's stomach bringing a smile to both their faces.
"Edward, we don't know anything about raising a child."
"We'll learn, I'm not about to let this chance at happiness slip me by. I'm not going to let my fear of messing up get the best of me. I love you and I'll stick by your side no matter what the future holds. We're going to have a family I'll protect that from any one that tries to harm it." Edward sealed his promise with a kiss holding Jacob close to him. Still scared of what was to come Jacob held on to Edward and his words. Bringing a hand to his stomach Jacob smiled A family. Edward held him closer.
