Chapter 12:

The morning came entirely too soon. I was woken up by a bouncy pixie that was entirely too chipper for being this early. "Alice, what are you doing in my bedroom? We're sleeping." I groaned as I tried to roll back over into Jake's overheated chest. It was then that I realized that we were both still naked and pulled the sheet up over us. We never really bothered with covering up because Jake's body heat always kept me nice and warm.

"Bella, we have to celebrate. It's already noon, come on I let you sleep in. Up, up, up. Come on get up."

At this point Jake was slowly opening his eyes as if he feared what he would see. His nose wrinkled in disgust and the edges of his lips turned down. "Why is the evil pixie in my bedroom?"

Alice openly laughed and I just chuckled. "Honey, she apparently wants us to come celebrate with her. I'm not sure what for, but it is obviously important enough to wake us this morning."

He groaned and nuzzled his face into my hair. "I don't want to get up. I want to spend all day in bed with you. Tell her to go away." He growled the last part.

"You heard the man. I'm spending the day in bed."

Alice pouted. "But … but … we defeated the Volturi … we no longer have to live in fear of them … we have to celebrate. What if I give you guys another hour? Then can we go?"

"Fine woman; just leave. I'm not done with my wife yet." Jake growled out as he grinded his hips into me. I whimpered and Alice disappeared without a backwards glance.

We spent the next hour making love and then showering. At the end of the next hour we were dressed and headed down into the kitchen where we were greeted by an enormous breakfast and a smiling Alice. Jake and I just chuckled at her and she smirked. "I know you need to feed so I went ahead and made you breakfast so that we don't have to waste anymore time."

Jake and I basically devoured the food. I hadn't eaten at all yesterday and last night and this morning we worked up quite an appetite. I was ravenous. It was a good thing that Alice made so much.

"Ok Alice, what is this all about? What are we doing?"

"Well … Carlisle wanted me to collect you two to have a meeting in regards to what we are going to do now that the "royal family" is gone. And then we are going to party."

"What do we have to do with the vampire ruling class? Why do we need to be at the meeting?"

"Well Jacob, it was for you and your family that we no longer have a ruling class. Carlisle believes that the shape shifters should have some say in the decision making process. Sam and the pack are already there."

"Fine pixie, let's go."

She jumped up and ran to the door. I looked around and didn't see her car so I wasn't surprised when she hopped into the car next to me. Jake immediately rolled down the windows when he got in. Alice and I both laughed at that.

"What? I said that I would put up with you guys but it doesn't mean that I have to deal with the smell." He said the whole thing while smirking and then let out a loud laugh when he was done.

He threw his arm around my shoulders and took off to the Cullen household. Upon arrival we noticed numerous other vampires that weren't here before. Jake snarled and crouched in front of me. Carlisle came running over to diffuse the situation.

"Peace, Jacob. It is ok. These people mean no harm."

Jake stood slowly but kept me pulled into his body. Once we entered the house everyone paused in what they were doing and openly stared at me. It was kinda weird. A few of the new vampires even bowed towards me. I was so confused. Jake and I sat on one of the love seats and everyone crowded around us.

"Um Alice, what is going on? Why do I feel like a celebrity or something?"

Esme snuck up behind Alice and answered my question. "Well my dear, it seems that all of these vampires have come to witness the chosen one. It seems that there was a lot more to that prophecy than we had really known."

One of the vampires came slightly closer and kneeled in front of me. "Thank you woman for being the vassal to hold our chosen one; you are a blessed woman. This child will rule all supernatural beings and join us together in peace."

Jake's face was all scrunched up like when he is really confused. I'm sure that mine mirrored his. I had no idea what was going on. Chosen one? Blessed woman? Carlisle has some serious explaining to do. "Carlisle, what is going on?"

Carlisle appeared in front of me in an instant. His face held a smile so bright that I felt the need to look away. I have never seen him so happy.

"Well Bella. This is something that I hadn't finished reading yet. It seems that this child, your child, is the so called 'chosen one'. He will grow up to bring the supernatural world together. No longer will there be fighting over land, or prey, or anything. There will be peace. It's really amazing. Wow, Bella, to think I've known you for years and now … just wow."

I chuckled at him. He was so excited. He started jumping around and looked almost as animated as the pixie.
