Recap:

We were out in the field mock fighting when Alice had a vision.

"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.

Chapter 40: Time to out run a vision

(Bella POV)

I had to do anything that I could to not let this happen. Alice only ever saw what would happen and the facts laid out said that this vision was well on its way to coming true, too.

I looked at Edward and told him that I was taking Jace for a run. I didn't care if he came with us or stayed here with his family. The only thing that matter right now was my son.

"Bella, do you think I would just let Jace walk away with them? I saw what happened, too, and I love you guys too much to ever let anyone get their hands on OUR son," Edward said, then he pulled me into his strong arms and kissed away my tears.

Jace came over to me and kissed my cheek, too. "Mommy, don't be sad, I have to go with them when they come or they will kill everyone that I love. Mommy, I have to buy time till you and Daddy and Uncle Jasper and Aunt Alice and Emmy bear and Auntie Rose and grandma and grandpa come to get me."

"Jace, honey, you can never go with them. They are Uncle Jasper's parents and they are bad people," I said to Jace.

"But mommy Uncle Jazzy isn't a bad person and he was with them growing up, right?" Jace asked.

"He has a point Bella, Jasper is a good person and he was raised by them," Emmett said. I shot him a look that made him fall to his knees and cry for mercy.

"How did you do that?" Edward asked.

"I'm not sure; I just got mad and didn't want him to come near me and Jace."

"But you know Emmett would stand with you and fight and would die for you, don't you?" Rose snapped.

"Of course, I know that, but it doesn't make any of this easier to watch. You didn't have to see it firsthand like it was already happening, you can't understand what that feels like not till it's your own child in question. Okay, so I know that was mean, but it was true and I didn't see it any other way. You will understand one day when you hold your baby that I've seen in Alice's head that you'll have."

"Wait, you guys have seen that I will have a baby with Emmett and you didn't tell me before now?" Rose yelled, half shocked that we would keep this from her.

"It's best that it just happens and that you don't know ahead of time, kind of like letting nature take its course," I said.

"But, you, Alice, and Edward know, how is that fair?" Rose shot out.

"I'm sorry you can't see the future or read minds, Rose, but you'll be a mother more than once," I said with a smile.

I could have been nicer and told her that she was already expecting but let's just wait and see if she figures it out on her own first. I can hear its heart, I don't know how she can't, unless she thinks it's Jace.

"Everyone, can we get back to what we are going to do to help Jace stay safe and stay here? I hear you, Jace, and I still don't think it will be wise for you to leave with Tori and Aro," Carlisle said.

"It has to happen, it's his destiny. Jace is the one that has to end this. He is more powerful than any of us, Bella. I've seen it and you know that I'm right. As hard as it is going to be, we have to let them take him, if not, Skyler will kill us for Tori and Aro. He's a hunter, and he's very powerful, as far as hunters go. He can't hurt Jace. No one can," Alice said.

I listened and took everything in that she said and I saw that it was true but it didn't make it any easier knowing that my son was going to be spending (maybe) his first birthday with those people.

We kept training even though I knew that the outcome would be the same and they would walk away with Jace. Jace had to be ready and he had to know all there is that Jasper could teach him about fighting.

Edward and I taught him the things that moms and dads show their 3 or 4 year old but Jace wasn't the average almost one-year-old. Emmett worked on faking out skills, weight training, and muscle mass.

Rose taught him how to escape any hold and anyplace he might be held. Carlisle shared his book of knowledge and taught him to read in five different languages. Lastly, Esme showed him what to eat in the wild besides animals and to never eat humans, ever, but that goes without saying.

The flowers are in full bloom and the season has changed. The time has grown near. I started holding Jace while he sleeps, at least till I fall asleep myself. Edward just holds us both and I cry myself to sleep most nights.

Everyone is sleeping now and they are all like Edward and I. I would say like Jace but like Alice said, he's stronger and better in every way than any of us. Rose knows that she and Emmett are having a baby now, too, or should I say twins.

Esme was in the kitchen fixing us all breakfast before we headed out to the field to start the day.

I had this eerie feeling that today was the day that Jace was going to leave with Tori. My gut was always as right as Alice's visions. I packed him a backpack with his favorite toys, his book from grandpa, and a picture of all of us.

At the clearing, we started today like every other day except that I left Jace's backpack on him. Today was the day just as Alice saw.

Tori, Aro, and Skyler, the tall blond with blue eyes that I now knew was not a vampire but a hunter and that he had great powers, came as expected. They called to Jace and he looked at me, smiled, and mouthed that he loved us and the rest followed just like the vision.

I know that I saw it before but this was more real, more like a nightmare.

Jace looked back at me, smiled, and started to walk to Tori and Aro and Skyler. "Mommy, it's okay," Jace said, then he walked over to Tori and she scooped him up and laughed at me, laughed at us.

Then they took my baby and walked away.
