A/N: Hi! Just so you guys know I am going to be very busy this coming week. I'm doing some stuff with friends, midnight premiere of ECLIPSE! haha and I'm flying out to see family, so I don't know when I'll be updating again. I promise I will try to update though in about maybe a week, a week and half.
Just letting you know so you aren't left hanging in the air )
Oh, and tell me what you think of this chapter, I'm curious :)
Please Review and Enjoy :)
Nessie POV
I could feel the heat as the sweat came running down my forehead. I was laying on top of the sand, I could feel it. I couldn't open my eyes quickly, for the sun was shining right in my face. I tried to sit up, but a pair of cold arms restrained me from doing so.
"No. Lay back down. You need to rest."
That voice in particular made me feel a tingle all over my body. It was that voice that I had been longing to hear for the longest time. I sat up anyways and turned to look into my father's eyes.
"DAD!"
I jumped into his arms to and squeezed him tightly. This didn't feel like reality.
"Well, you're not dreaming Ness." He chuckled.
"It's you! You're really here! What? Why? How?"
He pulled me away from his chest.
"Sweetheart, calm down."
He face changed into one of twisted horror.
"Another pact of newborns came to Forks. We kept them towards the clearing. We are afraid the public is starting to notice some strange activity."
He pinched the bridge of his nose.
"Anyways, we thought that we fought them all off. We have help from other covens, so everyone is ok. But unfortunately about three of them ran off and came back later on listening in on my phone call to Kayden about you. Apparently he must of heard me talk about where you were…"
He looked like he wanted to start crying. I had never seen my father this way in my life. It was shocking to see him in so much pain.
"Dad, shh. I'm ok. Please. Don't feel bad."
I hugged him again closing my eyes…and the pain I felt for him now was too intense. I felt a tear fall down my cheek and onto the sand.
"This is all my fault. If I could of just shut my mouth and never made the phone call, you would have never been hurt the way you were."
I didn't actually take in what he said until a few minutes passed. I finally looked down at my own body and saw the cuts and bruises that covered my body.
I started shaking.
I placed my hand on my stomach, scared that I had lost the baby.
I looked up at my father, who had wide eyes as he read my mind.
"Kaayddeen!" He screamed.
It didn't even take a second until he came out here right where we were on the beach. He bent down to my eye level, staring at the tears that streaked down my face. I couldn't even speak. Words couldn't express how I felt at this moment.
"Get your equipment set up…now."
My father didn't even look at him as he said those words…though it looked as if Kayden understood exactly what he meant.
Kayden left, and with that, I turned my eyes back to my father's golden eyes, seeking hope beneath them.
Jacob POV
Ellen, Kayden, Edward, and Bella all had arrived a few hours after the incident happened. I had burned the bodies a few miles down the beach…and I made sure not a single limb of the disgusting, rock hard bodies were left behind.
I had especially felt disgusted toward Edward. He was the one who had made this mess happen in the first place. The love of my life was covered up in cuts and bruises…the one thing that scared me was if the baby was ok.
No one was in the house at the moment. There was broken glass everywhere and there were places where my blood had been shed…a little too much. But I was okay. My gashes were almost healed.
I sat in the shade of one of the palm trees with Arabell in my arms. She was asleep…finally. She suffered a broken arm, which Kayden had already wrapped up in gauze tape and fixed up a strong, sturdy cast for her. I ran my fingers through her wild, curly black hair.
"I could of lost you." I whispered.
I then looked up and out towards the beach where my Nessie lay in Edward's arms.
"I could have lost you too." I whispered again. I squeezed my eyes shut and did the best I could to fight the tears. I felt very thankful that we were all alive and okay.
I looked back out to the beach again to where I saw Edward walking up to the house with Nessie in his arms, the tears streaming down her face.
As gently as I could I stood up with a sleeping Arabell in my arms. I walked over to the house and did my best not to step on all the broken glass that was still being swept up by Ellen and Bella.
I didn't say anything, I just followed Edward down the hallway and to one of the other spare bedrooms that had been left untouched and clean from the incident.
Edward put Renesmee down on the twin size bed…which had nothing on it except for a bed sheet and a pillow. She had her eyes closed, one hand placed on her stomach.
Kayden got to work, setting up his equipment and finally started on the ultrasound. I sat in silence next to Renesmee, her expression clearly terrified. Kayden kept looking at the screen and back to Nessie. Bella, Ellen and Sara had come in by now, standing around the door.
I couldn't make out the expression on his face, until I looked around Nessie to the screen and saw two heartbeats, instead of one. The room was completely silent as everyone stared at the ultrasound screen.
Renesmee opened her eyes, afraid of the silence, and looked around at everyone who kept their eyes on the screen. She looked over and stared at it herself. Realization finally took over, and she took in a sharp breath.
"Twins…" Was the only word that came out of Kayden's mouth.
"Twins…" Renesmee repeated, her eyes wide.
"Can you tell what the gender of both of them are?" Bella spoke up.
Kayden looked at Renesmee and I for a moment, then studied the screen some more. After about two long minutes we had an answer.
"Yes."
"A girl and a boy."
Nessie's expression broke into one of sheer joy, and I bent down and gave her a kiss. Everyone else started talking to each other, happy to knowthat the babies were okay.
Arabell woke up from all the commotion, and stared down at Nessie.
"Momma?"
The room went silent again.
"Her first word…" Nessie whispered.
Arabell face lit up into a smile. She reached out for Nessie, so I set her down around Nessie's free arm. Everyone just smiled and a few of them started filing out of the room to give us some privacy.
"Arabell you said your first word!" Nessie squealed.
"You're going to have a little brother and a little sister soon!" She said to Arabell.
Arabell just laughed and wrapped her arms around Nessie's neck. Nessie started crying tears of joy.
"We're all okay." She said, smiling.
Nessie POV
By the evening the place was all cleaned up, with just a few windows left broken. I had enough energy to walk around now, though Jacob kept overreacting and said I needed to sit down. We all gathered around in the living room, sitting on the couches or kitchen chairs…anything that was left unbroken.
I sat on the long white couch with Arabell on my lap, holding her favorite stuffed animal, her wolf named Zahara. Jacob sat next to me, his arm wrapped around me.
Everyone sat around each other in silence for awhile. Ellen was helping Sara in the kitchen clean up and make some to eat for Jacob and I. I think we all felt fine with each other's presence. I had no words to speak aloud at the moment.
"Do you feel safe here?" Bray finally said aloud.
"Well…" I had to think about it. I didn't want to hurt their feelings at the same time though.
"Ness, you won't hurt their feelings." Edward said.
"Yes, don't worry. I won't be hurt if you say no."
"Well, the thing is. If those newborns heard our whereabouts, there could be a possibility that they told others. I don't know if it is safe here anymore. I'm so sorry for putting you and Sara in danger like this!"
I was starting to feel really bad for all this again.
"Shh. Hey. Remember what I told you Nessie. None of this is your fault." Jacob said to me. Arabell patted my hand, looking up at me. I relaxed, and smiled back down at her.
"Well…then where do we have left to go?"
No one replied. We all sat around in silence as those last words echoed in our minds.
