Here's Chapter 39!!!
Recap-
"Guys, I would love to give you everything you've ever wanted because you guys have given me so much more than I could ever find a way to thank you for, but if it comes at the cost of my son, I'll fight anyone and everyone to the death, for my son," Bella said.
"There'll be no need for all that if we protect Jace from Aro and Tori and he'll never become evil," Edward said.
"So we start today," I said and everyone answered, "Today."
Chapter 39: Today
(Bella POV)
I watched everyday as my whole family and I trained for the fight ahead of us. Time flew by as we prepared to take on the enemy. Jace was getting bigger all the time.
He is almost ten months old now. He has started walking and is as smart as his father. Jace looks up to his favorite uncle Jasper and spends long days with him.
I think that Jace is too young to learn how to fight but Edward says that it's better to start teaching him now; it'll come easier to him when it was for us.
I swallowed my pride and remembered that my son, our son, was half vampire, even if he didn't look like one.
Jasper has taken to liking to Jace as much as Jace liked him as I had said before. Jasper still feels like some of this is his fault because of his background with Tori and Aro.
I reminded Jasper everyday that we can't choose who our parents are. I was getting better at reading him, and Edward and I are still on changing as we continued to share blood.
I was never a prouder mother as when Jace and Edward were mock fighting and Jasper went to "attack" Edward, Jace was on his back faster than he could react and bit a chunk out of Jasper's back.
Emmett and Alice both fell over laughing as Jasper dropped to his knees and grabbed Jace off him.
"Jasper has met his match!" Emmett yelled between laughing fits. Rose came over and smacked him in his head and then we all laughed.
Jasper was healing before we all went inside the house so I could get Edward, Jace, and myself some lunch.
"Mama eats pees," Jace said. I smiled, scooped him up, and carried him inside.
"Sure honey," I said and I asked him what he wanted to eat. He smiled Edward's crooked smile and said, "Mac mac."
That meant he wanted mac and cheese, but instead of milk, I mixed it with a bottle of blood that I had in the fridge, it was one of his favorites. He wants more food now than ever; he only eats things that have blood added now.
I fed my guys and their eyes turned back to the beautiful shade of green that I love so much.
Jasper came into the kitchen and was still holding a towel to his back. "Hey Jazz, sorry Jace bit you," I said and he smiled his best no-worries smile.
Alice, as always, wasn't far behind him but she was off, I could tell. "Alice, what's wrong, you know I'll find out, don't you? So just tell me already."
"Bella," she said in a whisper. "It's time to make us stronger but you have to choose only one to help at a time or you and Edward will lose too much blood and will die, I've seen it."
"Okay then, Alice, let me clean up lunch and you and I will trade and Edward can take Jasper and trade with him," I said as I started to clean of the mac-n-cheese mess.
"No Bella, you can't help me it has to be Edward." Alice said. I looked at her with a puzzled looked and she opened her mind and showed me.
It has to be more sexual, like what you feel for Edward when you and he do it.(Trade blood, not sex.)
" So I have to kinda have sex with Jasper for this to work for him? You have to have sex with Edward? What about Emmett, or Carlisle?" I felt myself getting sicker by the minute. 'Not that I didn't love them all but I have only ever been with Edward and I didn't want to be with anyone else.'
"Bella, it has to be like that but you don't have to do the act, you just have to really feel love for the other person and they for you. It has to be consensual, that's all that I'm saying,"Alice said.
"Are you saying that I don't love you enough to share with you?" I asked.
"No Bells, Jasper would just feel more comfortable with you than he would with Edward, do you understand?" Alice said with a laugh.
"I get it now, Alice, you should've just said that in the first place. When you block me, I can't read your thoughts." Then I hugged her and went to find Jasper, Edward, and Jace.
The Wii of course, was where they were. "Jasper, would you please take a walk with me?" I asked and Edward growled a little. "Don't be jealous, silly Alice needs to talk to you and it'd be best if we didn't watch each other do this, alright?"
"Love, it's just hard to know that you'll be sharing a piece of you that's just between us. I'll be alright and I understand, Bella, I love you and thank you," Edward said as he kissed my forehead.
I watched as he and Alice walked up stairs to her and Jasper's room. I felt Jasper grow tense and I took his hand and kissed it and said, "Let's go."
I asked Rose to watch over Jace and told her that she and I would talk later about what needs to be done. I held Jasper's hand all the way into the woods. He didn't pull away, but he felt off knowing that he and I had to have this experience together.
"Jasper, if you prefer Edward...," I trailed off as he shook his head.
"Bella, since I've met Alice, there has never been another woman that I've wanted, so please don't take this the wrong way. I love you and I'm happy that you came into our family and made Edward whole. This is just different, do you understand?" Jasper asked.
"Sweetheart, do you think that we have to make love to feel the right kind of love between us for this to work?" I asked him.
Jasper looked up at me with his long eyelashes and whispered, "Yes."
'How did I ever not see how beautiful he truly is? He's breath taking and his soul is even more so, no wonder Alice loves him so much and wants to spend the rest of forever for him and have his children.'
"Jasper, we don't have to do the act to feel the love, I love you already and I give you my blood openly and willingly as you will offer me your blood in return for what you had taken from me. See, no sex even though it's sexual," I said biting my lip and remembering that Edward and Alice were doing the same thing right now.
I brought my wrist to my lips and, with my newly sharpen teeth, I opened a cut on my wrist and held it to Jasper's mouth.
His eyes got big and he looked right into mine as he took my arm into his mouth and sucked. It felt different than when Edward did it but it still felt great. I've never felt closer to Jasper than I did right now.
He opened his arm and offered it to me, and I took it gladly. We just sat there under my favorite oak tree and after we were done, he wrapped his arms around me and kissed my hair.
"Thank you, Bella, for doing this for me and for Alice, even though you're mostly doing it to save Jace. How much time do we need to do this?" Jasper asked.
"I'm not sure, Edward and I just did it out of love, we never thought that it would change us as it did. Are we alright?" I added.
"Yeah, we're better than alright, Bells and you were right, this was sexual but we didn't have to have sex so I don't feel like I was cheating on my wife or my brother with his wife," Jasper said.
" We should head back, Edward is calling me and Alice wants to see you," I told Jasper and we walked back holding hands and basking in our new found closeness as a true family. 'I am glad that I can help make all their dreams come true if Alice's vision is right and I know it is because Alice is never wrong.
'Now to explain it to Rose and see if she wants to share with me or Edward and who Emmett should share with.'
"Mommy's home, Jace, where is mommy's baby?" I asked as Jasper and I walked into the house.
I could hear him laughing and Emmett and him playing with Jace's blocks. I could also hear Rose watching, dreaming about the day that she and Em can share this with their own children.
It has taken about a month for the effects to take on Alice, Jasper, and Rose. Rose said that she would be the one and only one to change Emmett and he had no other choice in the matter. Rose will be Rose.
Carlisle and Esme didn't take as long but I think it's because once we started sharing with them, they started sharing with each other as well and it sped up the process.
At least that is what Carlisle thinks, and he's the oldest and smartest vampire of us all, so no one doubts what he says.
I talked to my mom today and they are all doing well. Edward and I gave them, with the help of the family, a new house in Florida as a gift for my new brother.
Jasper thought it'd be a good idea to have them far away so that if Tori and Aro come before we 're ready, they'd still be safe.
All of our skills have been getting better. Just as they thought, we were all faster, stronger, and better vampires, ready for Aro for when he comes back.
We were out in the field mock fighting when Alice had a vision. She fell to the ground and started to convulse.
I looked into her head as did Edward; the others didn't inherit the abilities that I did when I started to change. Everyone gathered around Alice and Jace grabbed her hand.
It was twilight and we were all in this field, the flowers were full bloom so it must've been spring time; which was right around the corner. This scared me a little, were we ready? Aro and Tori had come and they brought others with them.
There was a tall blond with deep blue eyes, how could he be a vampire? Did they know how we had all changed? I don't think so, we hadn't shared with anyone. When this guy spoke, he sounded like he could have been Scottish but it was kinda cloudy.
It was like I was listen and watching this play through a fog. Aro looked happy like he had already won and was calling out to Jace to come to him, and Tori kneeled down and held her arms out for him to come to her.
I tried to stop him but Edward grabbed me and held me close as I screamed and fought with all my might to get away and save our son. Alice saw what was happening and she went to grab Jace but Jasper grabbed her and he held her the way Edward was holding me.
I felt the tears roll down my checks as I continued to watch Alice's vision. Jace looked back at me, smiled, and started to walk to Tori and Aro and this other man. Emmett fell into line and grabbed Rose when she tried to stop him and Carlisle did the same to Esme.
What the hell? Why were all the men helping them and just letting my baby go? All of us women watched in horror as we couldn't do anything to get out of the arms of our men. I wished at this moment that I hadn't helped change them all to what I had become.
"Mommy, it's okay," Jace said clearer than he had ever spoken then he walked over to Tori and she scooped him up and laughed at me laughed, at us.
As she turned to walk away the blue-eyed guy laughed as well and dropped his hands that I had not noticed he was holding up and all the guys released their hold on us.
Alice came out of the vision at this point and I fell to the ground sobbing leaving it to Alice and Edward to explain to everyone what they saw.
Sorry for the delay, I have no excuse I have just not been able to see it so when that happens I can't write it. I have it playing in my head so I hope to have the next chapter written quicker than this one. Thanks please review. Thanks to Strawberry9212.
I don't own Twilight or anyone in it. Thank SM for twilight.
