Death comes to visit

1 week later

After we told Bella the family secret, my family relaxed a little especially when she said that she did not care at all, that she loved us all and that would not change.

What I was worried about was her safety more than ever especially now with the 3 nomad vampires on the loss and after her. What I did not understand is what they wanted with my beloved angel.

I was pulled out of my thoughts by my love straddling my lap, she wrapped her arms around my neck and kissed my forehead lightly. "Edward what is wrong, you have not been yourself for the past week?" She looked at me with a sad look in her eyes.

I shook my head placing one hand on her back to holder her as close to me as physically possible with her small bump.

"I got a call from Jacob, yesterday he wants to talk to me about the baby, I think it would be a good idea if I go and see him, are you ok with that Edward?" She asked resting her head on my shoulder playing with the buttons on my shirt.

"Bella, I cannot stop you from seeing the baby's father. I just wish that mutt was not the father, I can't stand the way that he is with you sometimes. Like he is trying to make you leave me or something I don't like it." I said with a little too much venom in voice. She looked up at me in disgust.

"Edward, do you really think that I want to be in this position, having Jakes baby was the last thing I could think of ever doing and since I met you I really wish that it was your baby I was carrying. " She said sounding very angry. Bella got up from my lap and shrugged off my hand. She picked up her coat and bag and head out the door, and there was nothing I could do to stop her.

God damn my stupid stubbornness, why could I not hold my temper when it came to Jacob. But what did not help at all were the rumors going around school about Bella and Jacob. It was starting to grate on me. I did not like people bad mouthing my Bella, but the way she was with Jacob when they were at school. It made me mad as hell to see him touching her, talking too and kissing her stomach I just wanted to rip his head off.

"Edward get your emo butt down here now." Emmett said from the living room. I had no choice but to join them. I left my room feeling like an ass for upsetting Bella, but I knew that we had to have a family meeting about what we were to do about the nomads.

"Edward you upset Bella again? That is the 3rd time this week." My mother asked taking a sit next to Carlisle.

"I can't help it, that mutt gets under my skin something terrible." I said looking at my parents.

"Well let's get this meeting started, as you all know there are 3 nomads attacking too much attention round these parts and now they are after Bella." Carlisle said as calmly as he could. Over the last 2 months Bella had become like a daughter to him and Esme, as well as the baby I don't think they would be able to forgive themselves if anything happened to her.

"When they were here I did get a read on the leader James, they had been running Charlie in circles for months. The woman followed him home one night and saw Bella she thought she would make the game more fun. That was until James caught my scent. When they came here, they saw Bella and they know she is pregnant. This is making the game far more exiting for them." I said putting my head in my hands. I had to do whatever I could to protect Bella.

"Ok well I think the best thing is to just keep an eye on Bella for now, none of us are going to be left alone at any time till we come up with a solution. So this means that Edward you are going to have to try and control your temper around Bella." I nodded my head in agreement, this lead me to open the conversation about Jacob and that he might not be 100% human himself.

"I don't think that Jacob is human." I blurted out; this made my family look at me with their jaws on the floor. Emmett like his normal self just laughed.

"Oh someone is jealous of the little boy." He said in a teasing manner, I just glared at him.

"What do you mean Edward; the boy is no harm what so ever." Carlisle said, but I could see from his thought that this had him worried although he tried not to show it so to keep the rest of the family calm. But I could see his main concern was Bella, if Jacob was not what he seemed then what did that mean for Bella and the baby?

"I don't know it is just something he thought just after Bella had told him about the baby. I have done a little research into the Quileute's and I keep coming across the same thing a spirit warriors. Have you ever heard of them?" I asked my family as we are all of very different ages and of nationality. They all shook their heads.

"I have heard of werewolves and shape shifters." Rosalie piped up from the corner. With her being Italian she knew a little about the Voltori. "When we in Voterra I did over hear Caius and Aro talking about coming to America and Whipping out some Tribe as they were werewolves. But I have never heard spirit warrior before." She said studying her nails.

I looked at Alice and jasper as they were both where our experts on all things mythological. But Alice was looking off into the future. The images that she was getting were fuzzy and every so often would go black. Jasper was concerned with Alice and her emotions, as I could tell from his thoughts that she was feeling overly nervous about something.

"Alice. What is it? I can't understand anything you are seeing." I asked her going over to her placing my hands on her knees, trying to bring her back to the present.

"I have no idea, but I can't get a clear reading on Bella, she has been a little fuzzy ever now and then. But this is not right I can't see her at all." She said her voice shaky.

This made me worry even more about Bella's safety if Alice could not see her then we had no way of making sure that she was safe.

"Well to answer your question, I have come across the term, but even with all my reading there should not be any of them left." Jasper said once he was happy with Alice's emotions.

But this did not put me at ease at all. "We will have to keep an eye on the Quileute but I am sure that we have nothing to worry about." At that moment Bella came storming into the house slamming the front door. Murmuring to herself as she stormed in through the living room, then stopped dead when she saw us all watching her.

"WHAT, you never seen a pissed of pregnant lady before!" she screamed as she once again stormed through the house to our bedroom.

"Well I think that has ended this meeting. Edward I think you had better go and make sure she is alright."

"Just be careful what you say brother, her emotions were all over the place." I left my family who all looked a little scared for me.

As I approached my bedroom door I could hear Bella sobbing. "Love can I come in?" I asked gently knocking.

"Whatever it is your bedroom Edward." She snapped. I opened the door and was by her side in under a second gathering her up in my arms. I let her sob for a good 20 minutes.

"Bella will you tell me is wrong?" I said rubbing soothing circles into her back and her baby bump.

"I was upset with you after this morning, then when I went to see Jake we were talking about the baby and he said … and he … he told me that he is thinking about taking me to court for the baby." She sobbed even harder, her body shook violently. This could be the worst thing that could happen to Bella, it was not good for her health or the baby's.

"He had no right to say that, he knows that upsetting you is not good for your health." I said holding her closer, the baby thought this would be a good idea to have it say. Lightly fluttering against my hand. I had a feeling that I knew why Jacob was going to try and take this to court. And it was because of me.

"I wish he would just drop dead." She said out of pure anger. I knew she did not mean it, but she was angry at him and I could understand completely at that moment that it was the only way to vent her anger.

I sat with Bella as she cried, trying to pull herself together. She needed to know that we would all be behind her know matter what happened with Jacob.

"Darling would you like me to get Jasper, help you calm down a litt….." That is when I heard the approach of a familiar vampire.

"Bella, I need you to go and stay in the bathroom I am going to send Alice up and she is going to make sure you are ok." I said standing up, placing her on the ground she did not look happy about it but she did as she was told locking the door behind her.

I made my way door to the living room where I was greeted by Tanya. Wow the last person in the world I wanted to see.

"Alice." Is all I said to my sister and all she did was nod her head and she went to Bella.

"Tanya what a not so pleasant surprise, what can we do for you." Rosalie said pouring as much venom into her voice as possible.

Instead of answering she swaggered on over to me, placing her one arm around my neck, while with the other tracing her long red nails down the front of my chest. I pushed her away in disgust.

"Why must you keep pushing me away, I know that you want me." She said coming back towards me. I took a step back towards my siblings as I knew they disliked Tanya's sexual advances nearly as much as I did.

"Tanya, I have told you many times over the last several hundred years, I am not interested in you." I said to her trying to get her to understand.

"What is that smell?" She suddenly piped looking around, her eyes stopped at the stair way. Before any of us could stop her, she was up in my bedroom ripping the door off the bathroom.

"Oh look what I have found; I did not know you were keeping snacks. Oh and she is with child." She said as she stroked towards Bella and Alice. But I was quicker, I grabbed Tanya by the hair and chucked her the windows that lined my bedroom. The shock of her going through the window shook the whole house. I took the defensive stance in front of my pixie sister and Bella, while the rest of my family copied me.

Tanya jumped back through the hole and growled at us all. "So you are protecting this little human?" She snarled.

"Yes we are Tanya, Bella is my mate I love her and you are not going to even think about laying one finger on her. Now Tanya I think it would be a good idea if you left." I said moving towards Bella and taking her hand.

"This will not be the last you hear from me. Edward, you will curse the day you turned me down to be with a human. And you little girl watch your back because you never know when death will visit! " She screamed as she ran from the house.

The others moved away from my room so that I could make sure Bella was ok, but Alice did not leave, Bella had not let go of her hand.

"Can she stay please Edward I feel better with Alice here?" She asked as I lead them both towards the bed.

Bella sat against the head board placing a pillow across her lap, Alice sat Indian style at the end of the bed, while I lay my head against her lap, she ran her fingers through my hair. "So I take it I am a girl with a target on my back?" She said calmly.

I looked over at Alice who had zoned out, I could see the images zipping through her head. Unlike every other vision Alice has had this one was images moving too fast it was starting to make my head hurt, which made me feel sorry for Alice.

"Well is someone going to answer me?" Bella asked getting pissed off with the pair of us.

"Well my dear sister to be, it does seem that you have become the world's biggest danger magnet. But don't worry Edward won't let anything happen to you and my niece." She said with a very large smile on her lips. But she could not hide the real danger from me, Bella was in great danger and Tanya was right death would be coming even if we liked it or not.
