A/N: I do not own Twilight, Stephanie Meyer does.

Any one guess who returns in this chapter?


Chapter Ten

(CPOV)

I took a big whiff of the air but there was no scent. What the hell is going on? Four people I didn't know walked into the kitchen now. Three girls and a man; the man was tall and muscular like me. One of the girls was tall, maybe Jennifer's height and had black hair. The second girl was taller than the first but had the same black hair. The last girl was blond and my mom's height. She reminded me of Alice though.

Mom stood up and threw her arms around the first girl. "Diana! Oh my god, it's so good to see you guys." Diana laughed and they pulled apart. Mom turned to us and said, "Guys this is, Diana, Selena, Luna and Pan. They are the ones who turned me into an Immortal." Mom went around the room and introduced us all. I guessed that they knew our parents since mom told her who was whose child.

Diana smiled warmly at us all, reminding me of Esme. We all moved into the living room and Diana turned to mom. "So you're not aging and you don't know why?" Mom shook her head.

Diana smiled and said, "Well, I knew I'd have to come back sooner or later. Well, Isabella, the only thing I can tell you is that there is another battle coming up. The girls from the Denali clan have found some old friends of the Volturi who are still mad about the Volturi's demise. They have sought revenge for a while but the Denali girls have promised them a fight with you. The Cullen's won't fight, they can't choose between their family. They think of you and them as family and they won't pick sides. Bella, you are not aging because of this fight. You need to be prepared, so you will stay an Immortal until after it is done."

Dad looked up and said, "So what about me? I could phase and fight too."

Diana shook her head, "You have not phased since Cody was born, your body can't handle it Jake. You can't fight. Unless…." Diana trailed off and looked at mom.

Mom caught Diana's eyes and got the drift of what Diana was saying, her eyes widened and shook her head. "No. Jake and I are supposed to grow old together now that we've had children. This was not supposed to happen." Mom hung her head and dad looked confused.

"What are you talking about?" Dad questioned Diana.

Diana smiled and said, "We can turn you into an Immortal like us."

Mom's head jerked up, "What?"

Diana looked at her and said, "Jake can be Immortal, like you Isabella. Your children have years before they stop phasing, so they won't age. Then, if you'd like, we can turn them Immortal also. You'll never have to lose your family, Bella. You can be selfish just this once. It's okay to want your family forever." Her tone was soft. Mom looked up at my pack and me.

We were all quiet until Zack broke the silence, "Think of it this way, Miss Black, you'll never have to cook for them again. Think of how much money you could save on groceries."

Mom chuckled and Chelsea smacked the back of his head.

"I'll do it." Dad said quietly.

"What?" Mom asked, just as quiet.

Dad leaned forward. "I said I'll do it. We won't be bloodsuckers so the kids won't have to make the choice whether or not to kill us. If it means keeping you forever, just like we promised, I'll do it."

Mom's eyes welled up with tears I knew would never fall. She nodded and said, "What about when the kids stop phasing?"

Dad shrugged and said. "That can be their choice."

Mom looked panicked at the thought of losing one of us while she had to live forever with that pain, but dad quickly added, "That is still years away, Bells. They only just phased. We have plenty of time before we have to even think about making that decision."

Mom nodded. Diana looked happy, "When can we change Jake, then? It must happen soon. The Denali girls will be back soon with their army and we need every minute that we have."

Mom looked sad. "Does it have to be so soon?" She asked in a sad, quiet voice. Diana nodded slowly.

"Tonight would be best, Isabella." Diana told my mother.

Mom looked at dad, who jumped off the couch and asked, "So where do we want to do this?"

Diana shrugged and said, "I though Bella would want to? I'll walk you through it, but it should be your blood that turns him."

Dad looked confused at this. "So, wait, how do you actually become Immortal?" He asked. Diana explained how they had to inject an Immortal's blood into the human's heart. It wouldn't hurt him at all it would just be long and uncomfortable.

Dad looked reassured and said, "I want to do this now." He headed to the stairs and mom followed with Diana, Pan, Selena and Luna. I stood to follow but mom held up her hand.

"Cody, you all need to patrol. We don't know what the Denali girls are up to. Why don't you up the patrols? Alice and the rest of the Cullen's want to meet with you to discuss their plan. Take someone with you and go to their house. I'll see you in a bit, okay?" Mom didn't give me a chance to answer, she walked up the stairs behind dad, with the Immortals following.

I turned to my pack and said, "Okay, Matt, and Ally, you are gonna come with me to the Cullen's. Harry, you go join Nick, Zack and Jennifer on patrol. Chelsea, I need you to go by Sam J's and check on Emily. Tell Sam J to go run a little and you stay with Emily. Austin, you stay here with Charlie. I don't know how long we will be gone and if she phases, she'll want you or me with her. We'll be back as soon as we can."

Harry walked out the back door and I walked out the front with Matt, Ally and Chelsea trailing behind. I decided driving there would be the best option, if anything happened, someone would howl. I dropped Chelsea out at Sam J's since it was on the way to the Cullen's. Emily was sick with some type of flu. She threw up non-stop and it hurt her to even move. I knew from my dad how much she used to take care of his old pack when Sam Sr. was Alpha, and after he died, she continued to take care of the pack. Now that she was sick, my pack was going to take care of her. One of my pack members was always there. I usually had three wolves on patrol and two with Emily. I gave Sam J as much time off patrol as I could, but then he insisted on more patrol time. He didn't like being home watching his mother suffer.

I told Chelsea to make sure Sam J left to go run so everyone could fill him in on what was happening. We drove towards Forks and made it to the Cullen's in no time. We stopped outside the house and got out of the car. Alice rushed out to meet us.
