Chapter 8

Realizations

Virgo POV

Virgo, your aunt is better now. Would you like to come see her? She does not remember anything that happened after the change. Wardient's voice broke into my mind. I released my parents, looking into their eyes. "Guys, Bella is better. We should probably go fill her in on everything that has happened so far." I told them. I stood up, dragging them with me, and turned to walk outside. "Virgo, what has happened so far? Why do you look like a sixteen year old?" My mom asked me, her voice nearly dead from everything that had happened. Everything was too complicated for even her vampire mind to understand without an explanation.

"I'll tell you everything, in a few minutes." I said, jumping out the hole in the second story. Everyone was gathered around Bella when we arrived, exchanging hugs and kisses and all manners of affection. "Hey…you guys? You probably want some answers now, don't you?" I asked timidly.

I laughed to myself, Wardient joining in; I had traveled around the universe, alone, and I was nervous about telling my family all about it. How lame is that?

"First of all, Virgo, tell us who this 'friend' of yours is, and why is he glowing?" Jacob said. He was the funny one here, since Edward was busy making out with Bella, Jasper was trying to avoid their feelings, and girls are never as funny as guys, when it comes to this stuff.

I smiled as I replied, enjoying the fact that Jacob, at least, was focusing on me. "This is Wardient-Slansokos. I met him while…That will take a long time to explain. Wardient, do you wish to remain here while I speak, or do you want to go and find the other Deities?" I asked him, breaking off from my explanation.

I would actually wish to remain here, for as long as possible. I have a very bad feeling regarding your brother. He is different than the brother whose subjects I have been restoring to life.

Yeah, I replied. I learned that people from different times set different futures. It is this whole, big complicated mess. Just know that the one causing all the freezing/glowing is a different one than is around now. So, you are going to stay? I asked him again, just to make sure.

Yes, if that is alright. I need no sustenance and can help out in many ways. He seemed like he was almost begging. "I say that we let him stay, Virgo." Bella said, breaking away from her kiss for the first time in minutes. Jacob gasped, "It speaks! Is the other one alive, as well?"

"Shut up, Jacob." Quil said, smacking his head. Wardient chuckled, and told me to continue with my story. I started from the beginning, projecting images to help with my portrayal of everything.

xXx

Nearly three days had passed since I unfroze time, my stories taking nearly an entire day to tell. I had made them live through it all almost exactly as it happened. They had all been incredibly understanding about my nearly ruining time, causing my eyes to water.

We were all just sitting in the living room, relaxing, when we heard a car pull up. "Emmett's home! And Blondie!" Jacob crowed. It was amazing how good of friends Emmett and Jake had become in the last few years. I only knew this from people's memories, not having been born yet.

Emmett came walking through the front door with Rosalie tucked under his arm. Rosalie still looked guilty, and sadder than I had ever seen her before. I entered her mind, searching for what was wrong, and wished I had never found out. Rosalie had left to have a baby. I knew how that would have had to happen, and I nearly started choking on the realization.

"Virgo? Virgo, are you okay?" Mom came over and asked, rubbing my back gently. I coughed out the last of the spit I had swallowed, and cleared my throat before starting in on Rose. "Rose…How could you do something like that? Do you have any idea what that could have done to the world?" Everyone looked about to jump in when I started accusing her, but then stopped when I said why. "Huh?" She asked, just as confused as everyone else.

"Rosalie." I began, taking a deep breath. "Rose, there is no way that any other vampire should have a baby with a werewolf. I do not think that Orion and I were technically even supposed to be born. According to science, vampires and werewolves are even less compatible than vampires and humans. With that coupling, there is at least an even number of chromosomes. With vampires and werewolves, it would turn out completely wrong. Orion and I were a complete chance, made only because the universe saw fit.

"Now, the same thing could have happened again, but there is no telling how that child would have turned out. It is entirely possible that he would have destroyed the world!" I had gotten my explanation out of the way as quickly as possible, not wanting to delve into the whole macroscopic details of everything.

"Virgo…How did you learn all of this?" Carlisle asked me, looking surprised at my knowledge.

"I traveled a lot, and I am already brilliant. I know things that people study for years to learn, and I can link things to match anything. That is why I can have any power that I can understand, because I can figure out how to make it work. Well, that and the fact that I am the universe and can do almost anything." I had not meant to brag, but it just came out with my explanation.

Yes, anything indeed. Wardient thought out loud, showing everyone how I had stolen Serela's immortality. Everyone gasped as they saw that, as I had edited that part out. "Yeah…I guess I forgot to mention that." I said meekly.

"You can steal immortality?" Rose breathed, seeing several possibilities that I had never thought her capable of. Of course, I had only known her for a few minutes, and from other people's memories. "Rosalie, don't even go there." Edward threatened, seeing the same thoughts that she was thinking. "Edward…I can be human again! I can have kids, do normal human stuff!"

"Whoa, hold on there, Rose. I don't know if I can take away a vampire's immortality. I only know that I can do it for the Deity's." I broke in, interrupting her train of thought.

Well, Virgo, you can steal it. It is the same concept as stealing ours, just a little bit different. You would still reach into their soul. You would just remove a different thread than the gold one around us. Wardient whispered this into my mind, blocking Edward's mind reading powers. I froze, not wanting to think about that. I had suspected that was how it would have been done, but I had no desire to test that out on anyone.

"Wardient, can Deities have kids?" Rose asked suddenly, her thoughts breaking onto a different path. Ummm…Yes, I believe so. It may only be the male ones, however. I have never tried it myself. I believe that it is more of a...type of Immaculate Conception. It would result in a vampire child that would look exactly like you, if it were to grow up.

"But, you could take the vampire out of it, right? Make it a normal, human child?" Rosalie was begging now, desperate for any way to get a child. She knew that her remaining a vampire would make everyone else happy, and that her receiving a kid would be the best thing in the world. Especially since it was her own child.

"Hey…Wardient? Would it be possible for you to make Rose pregnant with…My kid?" Emmett asked, more shy than I had ever seen him before. Obviously, the prospect of having a baby was appealing to him as well. Rose's face lit up when he proposed this, just as excited at the possibility as he was. I think that they forgot everyone else… I thought towards Wardient.

Yes, I think it will be possible. I have never made a vampire pregnant, however, so I cannot give any guarantees. I am absolutely certain, however, that if it is a worst case type of thing, then Virgo could just change you back to human, and give you a normal, human pregnancy. I cringed as he said this, not wanting the possibility of them being human to reach their ears. Or minds.

Just as I had feared, Emmett and Rosalie began to glow, while everyone else began to brood. Except for Jacob. He did not really care what happened to Rosalie. You would miss Emmett, though. I thought towards him. I am not worried about that. I am fairly certain that they would want to become vampires again after they had their kid. They have been vampires for too long to want a normal, human life again. He said this with absolute confidence, the kind that wins Olympic medals without any prior experience.

"So? What about it? Can we go, Wardient?" Rosalie asked, bouncing with excitement.

Well, you could go right now, but I would need to be present during… you know. I would need to make it so that implantation can occur. It may require you in human form. Wardient seemed slightly put off by needing to be present during their…Activities. I shivered, dreading any thoughts of what they do in their private time.

"Come on, Baby, let's go have a baby." Emmett said, smiling. They flashed up the stairs, Wardient following closely.

I turned to Edward and the others, taking in their tired expressions. They were worried about how things would turn out, especially if Rosalie and Emmett became human. Carlisle was the first to speak; "I am fairly certain that it will require them becoming human for the whole pregnancy to work. I say that, no matter what they choose, we will not force anything on them. It is their life, and they have the right to live it as they choose." He said all of this with a weary resignation, liking the possibility of them becoming human just as little as the rest of us.

"Carlisle, the thing is, is that I don't even know if-"

"You can, Virgo. I was reading your mind while you thought of that, and the logic is perfectly sound. You would be able to do it." Edward broke in. Thanks a lot, Edward. I thought bitterly, pushing my thoughts into his mind.

While the whole family was brooding in silence, a new thought came to my mind. What Orion said… His promise to kill me one day. I left my body, searching several years into the future. I found Orion returning for me in about five years, an army of vampires and other assorted creatures with him. I was then blocked, unable to see more about the whole fight.

That fight will determine the fate of the entire world, Virgo. You must make the decision that will benefit everyone. I jumped as that voice rang through my mind. It was no voice I had ever heard before, and I could not place it with any creature that I had come across. The voice was gone as suddenly as it had appeared, leaving me alone in my wonderings.
