Sorry for a short delay in this chapter. We are time jumping about 18 months from where we left Jasper, Caius, and Isabella.
The past year and a half has been a bit hectic. Many changes were made throughout the castle and about living arrangements. My mates and I moved to a house about a 30 minute drive from the castle along with Carlisle, Esme, Carmen, and Eleazar. We still had our duties to the castle a few times a week. The commitment ceremony and coronation ball went off without a hitch. Edward has been making amends with many of us. He was also named a prince even though his mates are king and queen. I understood why he did not want the king title.
Things have changed completely now we have a daughter to care for. Currently she is napping upstairs in her nursery. She is aging like a human which seems odd since she does have empathic and a form of telepathy. Considering she was about to turn a year old in a week she is completely spoiled rotten. Carlisle considers her his sister and will always feel that way. He feels that she might stop aging around the age of 20. Marcus tells us her mate is Alec which is a bit weird considering he is stuck at the age of 16. I believe if he is that my daughter might go through her transition to vampire at 16 to stay with her mate.
I still remember the day we found out we were pregnant like yester.
**Flashback**
Isabella has been in human form for about 6 months now. We still had no success with getting her pregnant. I was just coming back from taking care of the house we were going to move into shortly when I found her hunched over the toilet. She said she ate something funny but with my hearing I heard a flutter of a heartbeat. I think she would have heard it but she said a side effect of being human was losing some enhanced senses.
I followed her out onto the balcony and wrapped my arms around her. I leaned down and rested my chin on her head.
"Darlin' I really think we are going to be parents. I heard a heartbeat it is faint but it's there. Which by the sound of the heartbeat, you are not too far along in your pregnancy. I think you should have your father or Rosalie checks you out." She was crying and new it was her hormones I think. "Why you cryin' love?"
"These are happy tears and I will have Rosalie check me out. I am surprised she went to work as a doctor finally. My father and Caius are playing painters for Esme and Carmen. We could go see Rosalie she is still at work for a few hours. She will be able to fit us in once she sees us."
"Of course and you do know you and her will be having kids around the same time probably. I am surprised your power worked on her." She giggled and turned around to hug me.
"Let me get into decent clothes that are not out of style. Caius is going to go nuts that we are doing this without him. Call him actually call my father and tell him to get him to meet us at Rose's office. For being over three thousand years old the man still does not get modern technology." I chuckled at that thought. It was true he had broken a brand new laptop we had gotten by tossing out the window because the battery died.
By the time we got to Rose's office Caius was already there. He was sort of excited for some reason. I gave a quick peck on the cheek and he kissed Isabella on her forehead. The past few months had us all discovering things about each other. Caius and I have made love alone a few times over the past few months. I also spent alone time with Isabella too. We are just hoping that the baby is mine. Her decision was to give me a child and after return to being a vampire full time. She hated being in her human form with a passion.
Rose greeted us and ushered us into an exam room. "Bella I am just going to do a sonogram to see the baby. It will also tell me how far along you are. Did you have a normal pregnancy with Carlisle?"
"Yes I carried him the whole 9 months. It might have been 8 months we lost track of time. You have to think this was the 1600's when I was pregnant last it has been over 400 years." Rose laughed at her and shook her head.
"Lay back and lift up your shirt for me. Caius, flick the light off please." She started by adding some kind of goo on her stomach to move around the rod. Hitting a switch we than heard a heartbeat going. "Well from the look of things you are around 10 weeks and the due is sometime the end of July early August. I can't tell the sex yet for at least another 6 weeks. I want to see you again in a month so we can pinpoint the actual due date."
"Thanks Rose and will do. How is your pregnancy going so far?"
"Terrible I hate morning sickness and if things are going as plan we will be having two babies in running around at the same time. I am about 12 weeks now and Emmett and Jane are getting overexcited."
"I believe it and think they will be a little over board getting things done." She started laughing and shaking her head yes.
"Rose one last thing." Caius spoke up. "I think it is time for you three to do a commitment ceremony it has been nearly six months. Aro and Marcus have driving me insane about it. Hell even Sulpicia and Edward cornered me a few days ago." Bella laughed his antics those four were terrible about having things being done quickly.
"Yes we will be having one after the baby is here. I will take care of those four when we leave here. I cleared my appointments for the rest of the day. I will see you guys later. I have a few charts to finish and get into my storage for prenatal vitamins. Bells I will drop yours off when I get back." We said our goodbyes and headed home to the castle. If things worked out right our house will be completed in a week. The house was three stories and the first floor was for everyone. The second floor will be Carlisle's and his mates. The third floor will be our rooms. There were a total of 4 rooms on each floor and 2 bathrooms on each floor.
Over the next few months her morning sickness can to a halt. Her hormones though were driving Caius and me nuts. Bad enough she wanted sex all the time and would attack one of us or both of us if we were together. We did come up with a name after we found out we were having a girl. Rose found out she was carrying twins a boy and girl. Thankfully they revealed their names as Emma Isabella and Henry Alec to us.
The day our little Abigail Rose was the actual day Carlisle was born. She and her brother look alike in some ways except my hair and my eye color from when I was human of silvery grey. They told me Carlisle's eyes were bright green up until he was around 3 years of age and turned blue. Caius doesn't remember his real eye color. From what Isabella told they had to be either green or blue based on Carlisle's eyes.
When I held little Abigail I felt overwhelming sense of love. I also saw flashes which was weird of Isabella and Caius. I whispered to her they were her mommy and her other daddy. They both walked in the room while I was feeding her bottle. "I think little Miss Abigail here has a gift. She showed me you two and I have a feeling she inherited my gift." Once I said that the room felt a push of love again.
"That she does lover and to think she is still a baby. Rose has a little problem like that with Henry. Somehow he inherited Jane's gift in away. We can't explain it but if he doesn't like something he zaps one of them." Isabella came up to me to take Abigail to lie down in her crib.
A year flew by quickly and in a week our daughter will be a year old.
**End**
"What has you thinking so hard for?" I knew it was Caius he came up and wrapped me into an embrace.
"The past year and a half. It has been a wild ride from finding my real mates to having Abigail. From some of the guards and royalty leaving the castle, it feels like we are finally at peace for the first time in centuries in the vampire community."
"It does and to think if word got out the Romanians will no doubt try to overthrow Volterra. This is why we still have guards in the castle and appointed court members. Though I really think we need to make peace with them once again or just kill them off." He was right but at the moment I can leave without fighting.
"I will take whatever I can get at this time. Live for the moment and all that shit. We should get going to meet Bells and Abby for the twin's birthday party. The sooner we get there the sooner we can get back here and not leave our room for two days." He groaned and I laughed at him. "Should be glad Aro lost a bet against Isabella. He has to watch over Abby for two days and has been cut off by both Edward and Sulpicia."
We took over in the direction of the castle with linked hands. I so just want to stop right here and just fuck his brains out. This weekend was for all three of us. I can wait until then.
A/N: I know this a little shorter than other chapters but it works cutting it off here. The next chapter will be there weekend alone. It will basically be just smut. I got my grove back with writing lemons. It took me close 2 weeks to finally get it right.
Song for Chapter
"Vampire Heart" by HIM
You can't escape the wrath of my heart
Beating to your funeral song (You're so alone)
All faith is lost for hell regained
And love dust in the hands of shame (Just be brave)
Let me bleed you this song of my heart deformed
And lead you along this path in the dark
Where I belong 'till I feel your warmth
Hold me
Like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you love the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart
I'll be the thorns on every rose
You've been sent by hope (You'll grow cold)
I am the nightmare waking you up
From the dream of a dream of love (Just like before)
Let me weep you this poem as Heaven's gates close
Paint you my soul, scarred and alone
Waiting for your kiss to take me back home
Hold me
Like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you love the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart
Hold me
Like you held on to life
When all fears came alive and entombed me
Love me
Like you love the sun
Scorching the blood in my vampire heart
Hold me (Like you held on to life)
Like you held on to life
(When all fears came alive and entombed me)
My vampire heart
Love me (Like you love the sun)
Like you love the sun
(Scorching the blood in my)
My vampire heart
