Dont own
Chapter 9
(BPOV)
It has been a week since Jacob woke up and he is doing great. Since I was on strict bed rest, everyone has been invading our room. Tonight, the Volturi is suppose to be coming. Carlisle made arrangments to have the 3 brothers only to come to our home. He refused to permit Jane, because she can cause pain just by looking at you and I couldn't deal with it. Edward and I were thinking about names at the moment. So far, the girls names are Emily Marie Cullen and Carlie Rose Cullen. "Mason Anthony Cullen for our son?" Edward said. I thought for a second. "Yes. Alice and Jasper can be Emily's godparents, Rose and Emmett can be Carlie's, and Carlisle and Esme can be Masons." He nodded and said "That sounds great to me. We will announce this after the Volturi leaves tonight." I shivered. "I'm really scared of them. What if they try to do something?" He shook his and said "I will never allow that to happen and either will the rest of the family. I have the pack outside on guard. Sam has asked to be inside due to him imprinting." I nodded. My stomach growled and Edward excused himself to make me something to eat. I got up to use the bathroom and when I came out, I noticed I was not alone. There stood Chloe, Jacob, and Alice. "What do I owe this visit?" They laughed as I laid down on the bed. "We want to spend time with you!" Alice said as she plopped down on the bed. Chloe sat on Jacobs lap. I shook my head and turned on the tv. Edward brought it up once Carlisle stuck me on bed rest. I finally found a movie to watch, when Edward came in with my dinner. As we watched the movie, I started feeling tired. "Ok, everyone out! Bella needs her rest before our guests arrive in 3 hours." They groaned and left. I laid down and fell asleep on Edwards chest.
2 hours later, Edward shook me awake. "Bella, you need to wake up." I groaned and rolled over. I leaned over and started kissing him. He took that as an invitation. His hands started roaming all over. All of a sudden, he tensed up. "Bella, get dressed right now!" I knew what that meant. I bolted to the bathroom and threw up. Edward held me up while I brushed my teeth and got dressed. When we were done, he picked me up and carried me downstairs to the couch. As everyone joined us, there was a knock at the door. Carlisle answered it. "Aro, please come in. Where are your brothers?" A person wearing a cloak stepped in. "They decided not to come, but the guard is outside. I must say, you keep strange company." He removed the top part of the cloak to reveal a man who didn't look past 40. "Why are there 2 humans and a shifter here?" I looked up to see Sam behind me. "These two are not human. I thought they were too when I first met them. They are hybrids, half human, half vampire." He was shocked. "How is that possible?" I answered for him. "My grandmother was human and my grandfather was a vampire. She gave birth to my mother who is a hybrid. She in turn got pregnant by a vampire and here I am. I got pregnant by another vampire and my daughter is also a hybrid." He was still shocked. "I take it that Edward is the father of the child you are carrying?" I nodded. "On to the other matter at hand, I take it that you know why we are here?" I nodded again. "Aro, if I may speak for her." said Carlisle. He nodded so Carlisle continued. " James was sent by Chloe's father to kill her when she was pregnant with Chloe. He tried to kill her, but she ended up killing him first." Aro looked at me and said "Where is Chloe's father now?" I looked up at Chloe who was standing behind Jake. "He is dead. He kidnapped Chloe 2 ½ weeks ago when Edward and I were on our honeymoon. We came back and they tracked him down and killed him." He nodded and looked at Edward. "Edward, if I may?" he held out his hand and Edward placed his in it. I looked over at Carlisle and he said "He can see every memory and thought Edward has ever had, just by a touch." Edward sat down next to me and Aro moved closer to me. I flinched and moved more into the couch. "Bella, could you remove your shield for me please?" I nodded. "It is only so I can see the event in question." My shield dropped as I placed my hand in his. All of a sudden, I could see his memories and thoughts. I pulled my hand out of his and he smiled at me. "Well, looks like you have a little sponge here!" We all looked at him. "Excuse me? What did you call my wife?" Aro laughed and said "Son, your wife is a sponge. She takes others girts. I know of 4 others who have the same gift. Since she had her shield up, she never knew of the gift. Speaking of gifts, I brought your children a little something." He pulled out 4 boxes and handed them to Edward. "I will be on my way now. Please do visit after the children are born."
After the Volturi left, everyone looked at me. "A sponge?" I shrugged. "The second I dropped my shield, I seen Aro's memories." Edward looked up and Carlisle who just shrugged. "Looks like you inherited a new gift with this pregnancy." I groaned. Like I need a new gift. "Um Bella, your shield is still down!" I laughed. "Oh well, I will keep it down from now on." He laughed and hugged me. "I wish mom would let me stay up late tonight." I heard Chloe say. I looked at Edward and I smacked him "Damn you! Now I got your gift!" he looked at me and laughed. "You ass!" I thought to him. He and I looked at each other and busted out laughing. "Chloe, you may stay up till 1 and that's it." She hugged me and as she did, I put my shield up. Edward looked at me with a weird face. "I don't want to accidently flood the house." My little girl is growing up so fast! "I knew if I started crying with my shield down, it would be a flood in here. Chloe accidently did that about a year or so ago." I thought to Edward once I pulled my shield down. He nodded. She ended up giving me her gifts so now I will have to work on controlling them. I looked around at everyone and sighed. Alice stuck her hand out smiling at me. "We might as well give them to you now. I see you getting them tomorrow anyways." I touched her hand. Jasper looked at me with a smirk. "We could have some fun!" He held out his hand. Everyone looked at me and laughed. I curled into Edwards chest and hid my face. "Love, do we need to test your new gifts?" I nodded. "Ok, tomorrow we will test them. Now we have an announcement to make." We looked at everyone. "We have decided to name our children!"
