"RENESMEE!" I heard from downstairs.
"Stay close to them." I ordered to Seth and sprinted downstairs. "What?" I asked dad.
"He is close. I can hear him…" my dad hissed and his face turned blank. "He wants to talk to you." he mumbled.
"Let him." I growled.
"No way." My mom hissed.
"It's the only way. He won't talk to you only I can make him weak."
"She is right. He loves her." My dad said as he searched through Nate's thoughts.
I looked at mom again and she was still not sure but after a while she nodded. We all gathered outside and waited for Nate to appear in the woods. I growled as I heard him running and the next second he was standing in front of us in the woods, looking at me.
He smirked and took a bow. "I'm honored, the whole family." He said and looked out at everyone standing in front of him.
"What do you want?" I hissed.
"I'm here on the behalf of a new friend of mine…" he smirked.
What was he talking about? Was the vampire who had made him after us?
"…Aro." My dad whispered. It sent chills down my spine.
"…Aro?" I whispered to myself and my parents walked up and stood on each side of me, both growling.
"I'm the newest member." He smiled.
"What does he want?" I asked and he looked me up and down.
"He wanted me to check up on the family. The letter you sent wasn't enough for them."
I had no idea what this thing about a letter was but I assumed my parents sent the Volturi a letter telling them that everything was alright.
"So they sent you?" I assumed it was because his talent was so powerful and almost like a teasing message.
He nodded and took a few steps closer. "Now might I…. meet them?"
I hesitated and looked at dad. He nodded. "Okay." I mumbled to him and turned to walk inside. I waited in the hallway with Nate and Rosalie and Emmett came down with them. They handed them over to me so I had Sarah on one hip and A.J on the other.
"They sure are…cute." Nate said with a light hint of disgust.
"Yes. They are." I said and held them closer as I noticed he took in their smell. I knew myself that their scent could at times be very tempting but never even close to enough. The thought of someone or even myself feeding on them disgusted me.
"Only one of them does." My dad said out of the blue. I assumed he answered something Nate was thinking about. "Human." He said and waited for Nate's next question. "Donated." Nate took a few steps towards dad. "No."
Could you stop this mind conversation please? They are my children. I want to know what's going on.
My dad nodded towards me and looked back at Nate. "He wondered if they crave blood and what kind of blood. And if they are a danger to humans."
"Well they aren't." I hissed.
"I told him that."
"Well we don't know that." Nate said with a cold voice almost like he was suggesting something.
"NO." my dad hissed to him. "No way. There is no reason to do that."
"What?" my mom asked for me.
"He wants to TAUNT them with a human." He hissed. I felt a growl raise inside me.
"I didn't say TAUNT." Nate hissed back. "I just want proof… Well Aro wants proof." He smirked.
"Well then too bad for him." I growled.
"Mommy…?" Sarah mumbled to me and put her hand to my face. She showed me a vision she had of Nate drinking from me. I lay in his lap, lifeless, and he raised his face from my neck with a wicked smirk and blood all over his face. My dad of course saw everything and I felt my body froze up as it all ran through my head.
We can't let him know. We can't show weakness.
My dad nodded with anger and took a few steps towards Nate and stood in front of me protecting his child and grandchildren.
"They understand that they can't feed on humans."
"How might I know that?" Nate chuckled.
"HERE!" Sarah said and held her hand out.
"No!" I said in panic and took a few steps back.
"Yes! I can show!" she protested and tried to rumbled around in my arms.
"Show?" he asked.
"I have mom's talent!" she said happily, not understanding the danger and I didn't have the heart to tell her.
"Well then let me see." He for the first time smiled without evil and walked up to us. My mom stepped in between us.
"I don't think so." She growled and I almost felt her shield go around us all.
"Should I see or should Aro see?" he growled back. My mom hesitated but dad pulled her away. "Hey, pretty girl." He smiled to Sarah and waited for her. Sarah let a giggle out at his compliment, once again not understanding the situation.
"Here." She said proudly and held her arm out. She placed her little honey hand on his skin and I saw him react to her warm skin. His face looked just like Aro's when I showed him the first time. I looked at dad to see if what she was showing was okay. No change in his expression so I once again ASSUME everything was okay. But the next second his face turned in panic as he ran up to Nate and got a grip of his arms. He pulled him away and Emmett ran up and held him back from the front. I could right away feel Jasper calm everyone down and my mom's shield was up.
"What happened?" Anthony asked Sarah and me.
"I don't know…" I whispered and held them back.
"She showed him something tempting." My dad said and focused on getting Nate to calm down. He was trying to get out of their arms. It almost looked like he was giving Emmett and my dad small shocks and my mom flinched every time.
"Let go!" Nate yelled. They pulled him outside and threw him on the ground. He lay on the ground and tried to calm down. I ran upstairs with them and sat them down on the bed with Seth.
"What's going on?" he asked with panic.
"Just…keep them safe." I kissed them and hugged Seth before I ran back downstairs. Rose met me in the stairs as she ran up to protect the kids.
"I'm calm." Nate said and held his hands out to us all. I walked up to my parents. "I'm calm. I promise." He assured us.
"You should go." My dad suggested. Nate hesitated and looked at us all. He knew he couldn't take us down.
"I will be back." He said and quickly turned and ran away.
"Why don't we just kill him?" Emmett hissed.
"Because he has the Volturi on his side." My dad snarled and we all walked inside when we stopped hearing Nate.
"Jake…" I gasped as I saw him walking down the stairs. I ran up to him and kissed him.
"How do you feel?" Carlisle asked him as Jake ripped off his bandages.
"Healed." He said and held me closer. Carlisle suggested that they should check up on everything and make sure it was all okay. I waited outside the office and for the first time I didn't hear him scream from that room. He walked out with a smile and spun me around.
"I've missed you." I murmured into his neck. One single second without him up and running was too much.
"I've missed you too. How are they?" he asked as he heard Anthony laugh.
"They are alright." I mumbled. "Come here." I said and lead him over to the couch in the hallway. I sat him down and started to explain everything. "Nate is…with the Volturi."
"What?"
"He came here to make sure the kids aren't a threat to our existence."
"What did he do?" he hissed. I took a deep breath and showed him everything. He pulled his face away from my hand as I had showed him everything. "He tried to feed on Sarah?"
"No. She just showed him human blood."
"If nobody stopped him he would have feed on her." He yelled. "Why did you have to let him linger to the hope of you guys being together?" he hissed. I gasped as he said it.
"What?" I mumbled.
He hesitated but said it. "You heard what I said."
"You think this is my entire fault?"
"Why didn't you just tell him off right away?"
"W-what?"
"You know why he is back here? Because you never let the hope he had for you two working out die."
I was dumbfounded and my mouth was wide open, not able to get a word out.
"I will kill him. I will end this once and for all." He said and started to walk downstairs.
"JAKE!" I shouted and ran after him. "NO!" I took a grip around his arm and tried to hold him back.
"Let go." He hissed.
"Jacob." My mom appeared in the room and stood in front of the door. "Don't."
"Get out of my way, Bella." He looked down at her.
"You will have to kill me." She growled.
"What?"
"If you go out there alone and die and trust me you will, then those kids up there will grow up like you did." She hit the right and wrong spot. He took a step back and looked just as dumbfounded as I did.
"Jake…" I whispered and pulled his hand back. "Calm down. Let's go see the kids."
He nodded but his expression didn't change. We walked upstairs and in to the room.
"DEE!" I heard Anthony's little feet run across the floor.
"Hey big guy." Jake said and picked him up. I walked into the room and saw Sarah running up to Jake too.
"DADDY!" she shouted and Jake went up to the bed and hugged her.
"Hey princess. How are you?"
"I'm good!" she smiled. "Seth here." She said proudly and put one hand on his arm.
Jake sighed with a smile at him. "Yeah. He is great isn't he."
"GREAT!" she stated to Seth.
"Hey you are pretty great yourself." Seth chuckled at her. I leaned against the doorway and looked at them all. I zoned out and thought about what Jake said. I could no longer hear them all talking. Had I really caused this? I felt like I never let Nate think that there was a chance, I never wanted him. His blood, yes, but him? No. Would I have done something different if I had the chance now? Of course. I would probably have killed him. He was threatening my family, my children, and my life. I had these two little miracles in my life and he was trying to take them away from me just like Aro had tried to do when I was little. I could understand Jake's anger over the situation and that he might try to blame it on someone or something but the thought of him really thinking I was the reason for this… God I can't even think about it.
I heard Anthony yawn and it brought me back to reality. We made some food for the kids before we put them too bed and Seth fell asleep on the couch. It brought back the memories of when Jacob would sleep on the couch when I was little. Sarah would have a good future with him, and Nate or the Volturi wasn't going to take that away. The vampire's in my family were surrounding the house and the werewolves were spread out around the area all night. Me and Jacob made sure everything was fine around the house and walked to our bedroom hand in hand.
"What a day." Jacob sighed and threw himself on the bed.
"Yeah." I mumbled and laid down beside him. "Sorry."
He sighed and rolled over to hug me. "I didn't mean what I said. I'm sorry."
I sat up and looked down at him. "Yes. Yes you did."
"Maybe in the moment."
"I swear to god Jake.. If you ever say something like that again in anger.. I will not be this nice about it. How would you feel if I blamed the torture I went through during the pregnancy on you?"
His face turned in pain and regret. "Not good." He said and swallowed down a lump of sadness.
"Go to sleep." I mumbled and laid back down. He didn't move for a while but then he rolled over and went to sleep. It felt good to get the anger of my chest. But the awful part was I knew he was right.
Sorry if the chapters are a bit short! I'm a bit dry with inspiration and I have alot to do right now. But I will try to keep updating more often. Thanks to Sam. Without you I wouldn't be able to do it! :)
