I felt strange leaving Bella out there on her own, but I knew that she would want some time to herself, before she had to come back to the house, and deal with two new born babies and everyone else hovering around them.
I knew my wife would be ok on her own for a while, so I made my way back to the house, to my littler girl who needed me more than my wife at the moment.
It didn't take me long to get back to the house, and Edward had been right; Lexi was screaming her little lungs out. Alice was holding the baby when I walked into the house, as soon as she heard me coming into the house; she came up to meet me with my daughter in her arms.
"Thank god you are home! Where's Bella?" she asked me.
"I left her to finish hunting. She was still thirsty when Edward called me. She said she would be back within the hour. If she isn't i'mgoing to get her." I said as I went towards Alice to take the baby off her. Lexi calmed down as soon as she knew that I was close to her, and quietened completely when I took her from Alice.
"Hello baby girl. Have you missed daddy?" I spoke to her. She looked up at me to make sure it was me that was holding her, and as soon as she knew that it was me, she snuggled into my chest. I had to support her under her bum, as she had curled her hands and arms under her, so she was clinging to me.
"How have they been? Other than the fact that Lexi has been screaming?" I asked, as I went to sit on the sofa with everyone else.
"They were fine. Jackson has been asleep for a while, so he really hasn't been any trouble." Rosalie answered me from the other side of the room, holing my son.
I had only been sitting in the living room for about a half hour, before Peter and Charlotte came into the living room.
"Hey Jas. I didn't know you two got back." Peter said, as he sat down in the chair.
"Well, I am. I left Bella to finish hunting, she was still thirsty." I told him.
"You left her out there on her own?" Charlotte asked me as she came into the living room, to sit next to Peter.
"Yes. I know I shouldn't, but she said that she was still thirsty and I needed to come back. I'm going to go look for her soon if she isn't back." I said, as I ran my hand up and down Lexi's back while she slept.
"No, you stay here, and spend time with your baby. I'll go look for her. I feel like going for a run anyway." Charlotte said, giving Peter a kiss before leaving the house.
I sat on the sofa with my baby girl for about 20 minutes, just looking at her. I still couldn't believe how much she looked like Bella. Exactly the same colour hair, eyes, even her skin was as soft as her mothers. I leaned my head back on the sofa, and thought about my wife, and hoping that she was ok out there on her own. I knew she would be safe, I mean nothing could touch her, but I was afraid that she would find something that she couldn't resist. A human. She shouldn't, we were far away from any trail which humans would use, but still the risk was there even if it was small.
"Do you think I was wrong to leave her out there?" I asked everyone.
"I don't think so. Bella is a grown women, she can make up her own mind. You can guarantee that if you tried to get her to come back when you did, she wouldn't have liked it. Plus, you now have two children who need you, as much if not more than Bella does." Emmett said.
It actually surprised me that it was him that came up with this.
"I know. She's fine. I feel bad now that Charlotte has gone looking for her. I'm going back out to look for her. Do you mind taking the baby?" I asked Emmett. He was quite happy to take the baby. She grizzled a little bit when I gave her to Emmett, but she soon wentback to sleep, as she snuggled into his chest.
As I got up and headed towards the front door, I felt my phone ringing in my pocket. I looked at the screen on the phone to see it was Charlotte calling. Maybe she had found Bella.
"Hey, did you find her?" I asked.
"Yeah, I found her. You better come out here though; we have a bit of a problem." She told me.
I couldn't hear it in her voice, and I knew that my biggest fear was coming true.
"What happened?" I asked as I ran my hand through my hair.
"Just come out here. You will know where we are, just go about 10 miles north from the house and you will catch it." She told me before she hung up.
Everyone behind me, had heard the conversation and were about to ask questions before I left the house, but I didn't hear them because I left the house running.
I ran for about 8 and ½ miles before I caught the scent of something that made my mouth water and my throat burn. Blood. Human blood. I knew this would happen. Deep down. I knew that I shouldn't have left her alone out here, and now look what has happened.
I followed the scent of blood deep into the forest until I found both Bella and Charlotte.
Bella was sitting on the ground with Charlotte's arms wrapped around her. I could tell that Bella had been crying. This really must have shaken her up.
"Bella? Are you ok?" I asked her as I stepped closer to her, taking a look at the two men that lay at her feet, both pale and drained of blood.
"What have I done? I never thought I would do this. I have never wanted human blood before. Why now? Why today, when I am so happy and content with my life, do I go and do this?" Bella asked, but I don't know if she was asking me or just speaking her thoughts out loud.
"Char, do you mind, giving us a few minutes?" I asked Charlotte.
"Sure. Ill deal with these two." She said, gesturing at the two men on the floor.
With one movement, she grabbed both the bodies off the floor and took them away from here. She had done this enough times to know what to do with the bodies, so I left her too it.
I went over to my wife and held her in my arms. Before she had been so strong and sure with herself, but now she seemed weak and fragile. A totally different person compared to what I had seen her like over the last few days.
As I wrapped my arms around Bella, I felt her body relax into mine. I could feel how terrible she felt about this, so I tried to help her, by taking some of those feelings away. She sighed as my power worked it way through her emotions.
"Thank you. I can't believe what I have done." She said, wrapping her own arms around her legs, as if she was trying to hold herself together.
"You have made a mistake. We have all made them in our life, some more than others." I told her, trying to reassure her.
"But, I have never wanted to before. Why now?" she asked.
"Well think about it. You have been feeding on human blood for months, but you have also been sharing it with two other people, so you weren't getting the full effect of the blood. Now the babies are here, your body is use to and needs human blood, so it is natural for you to go after it when you had the chance. Although, I thought we were far away enough from any trail that this wouldn't happen. But it has, we are just going to have to be more carful about where we hunt." I told her.
"That makes sense. But I feel terrible about it. Now anyway." She said, the last part under her breath.
I was about to ask her what she meant by that last comment, but then Charlotte came through the trees beside us.
"I've got rid of the bodies. I think it is time to go back to the house. Everyone is going to be wondering where we got off too." She said as she ran into the direction of the house.
"Come on. You need to get home. You have two little ones who are going to want to see you when you get back." I told her, as I picked her up off the ground.
I felt her mood instantly lift as soon as I mentioned our children.
We took off running towards the house, and I could tell that the human blood had made Bella stronger. She was faster, more agile as she ran through the trees. I have never denied that human blood was better for us. It did make us stronger because it was what we were suppose to be living on, but it changed us. It would totally change the way we feel about humans, desensitising us from them. I didn't want that for Bella. I would get her back on animal blood soon.
We got back to the house rather quickly. As soon as we got into the house, Bella headed straight into the living room to see our children.
Jackson was starting to wake up when we got into the room.
"Hello, baby boy." Bella cooed, as he looked up at her.
"What happened? Where have you been?" Rosalie asked, as I closed the door.
"Nothing. A little…incident." Bella replied.
"What sort of incident?" Rose asked, standing up taking Jackson with her.
"I don't want to talk about it. Now can I have my baby please?" Bella asked, walking towards Rose.
"You killed somebody haven't you?" she asked.
"I don't see how it is any of your business." Bella said, getting closer to Rosalie.
I had to agree with my wife. It wasn't any of Rose's business, what happened today.
"Rosie, give Bella the baby." Emmett pleaded with his wife from the other side of the room.
I could see in her eyes that she was reluctant to hand over the baby, but she soon gave in and handed Bella the baby. Bella took the baby off Rose, and held the baby to her chest.
"Jasper get Lexi. I'm going upstairs." She said glaring at Rosalie over her shoulder as she left the room.
Emmett didn't hesitate to hand Lexi over to me. As soon as I had my daughter in my arms, I went straight upstairs to Bella. I have no idea why Rosalie had acting the way she did, but I knew that Bella would want answers to that now.
I went upstairs to find my wife pacing the bedroom, holding Jackson in her arms.
"What the hell is wrong with your sister?" Bella demanded as I walked into the room.
"I don't know. I will talk to her about it." I told her.
"Talk to her? She doesn't need to be talked too, she needs someone to pick through her fucking brain! How dare she not give me my baby when I asked for him. Does she honestly think that I would hurt my child!" She screamed at me, still with Jackson attached to her chest. Thankfully he didn't seem to notice that his mother was screaming, he was just happy that she was home, and that he was with her.
"Bella, she knows you would never hurt the babies." I said, as I lay Lexi down on the bed. I went over to Bella and wrapped my arms around her. I could feel how angry she was about this. I knew I would have to talk to Rose about what happened today, but now, at the moment I knew that I needed to calm Bella down. Her emotions were still raw from what happened earlier, and my sisters actions downstairs hadn't helped anything.
I let my arms fall from around her, and I took her hand.
"Come on, lets put the babies too bed then we can have a long relaxing shower, see if that can change your mood a bit." I said, kissing the back of her hand.
"That sounds like a nice idea. Come on, pick Lexi up and we will put them to bed." She said, as she walked out of the room and into the babies new nursery.
Looking around the room, Bella sighed.
"What's the matter?" I asked her.
"Nothing. I'm just wondering how the hell we are going to get all this stuff into my house." Bella said, as she put Jackson in one cot, and I put Lexi in another.
"We will figure it out. If Push comes to shove you will have to get rid of the cat." I said.
"Bobby sox isn't going anywhere. I think I should get her and bring her here. I haven't been home for ages." Bella said.
We had been here for a few weeks now, and I know how much Bella missed her disgustingly fluffy cat. To be honest I missed it a little bit too (but I will never let my wife know that!). Alice had been going back and forth to Bella's house to feed the cat every day. Thankfully the cat likes Alice, so she will come to her without a fuss.
Maybe Alice could go get the cat for Bella tomorrow. Save Bella going out of the house again.
"Fine. I will send Alice in the morning to bring that thing here. If it will make you happy." I said as I kissed her cheek.
"It would make me very happy. I miss her." She said as she walked out of the room.
"Now. What was I saying about a long, relaxing shower." I said as I took her hand and led her into our room.
It has been so long since i wrote this and i seriously cant remember what I did with the cat, so im bringing her back into it for a bit. They are going to be at the Cullens house for a while, and i'm starting to miss Bobby-sox. I actully have a cat called that and im missing her while im in uni, so ill have to get her in my life some how :P.
Anyway, What did you think? I know it is a little bit anti-climactic compared to the last chapter, but it is going to get better i promise :).
Hopefully i will be able to update before christmas, but im not to sure yet.
