This is Not Helping the Situation at All!
(Bella's POV)
I collapsed on the couch, taking a seat by all the kids. They were all watching some Christmas special that was blasting on the television. Renesmee is curled up against Jacob. She's resting in the crook of his arm while her head was against the side of his chest. Lily is on the other side of her, holding her cousin's hand with her other thumb stuck in her mouth. Lizzy and Aidan are both seated in front of Seth. Since Lizzy's gotten bigger the past couple of weeks, Aidan and her have been playing together more often. It was nice seeing the two of them hanging out with each other considering before Lizzy was born, Aidan was more on the solitary side. Not that the girls didn't play with him, it's just he didn't always want to play with the girls so he'd be alone playing with his blocks. Ever since Lizzy began crawling over the house she's begun playing with him.
Edward and I spent the other night just wrapped up with each other. We made it in time before the girls woke up, of course, but none the less I felt relieved after that. It was just nice to have some one on one with my husband.
Everyone was pretty engrossed with this special. I wanted to calm down, maybe watch it with them as well, but I couldn't help but feel off. I shift my spot on the couch, trying to get comfortable. I couldn't help but feeling that feeling again. I felt funny the past day. Something wasn't right. I shouldn't be feeling this way.
"Hello, love," Edward greeted, taking a seat next to me on the couch.
"Hey," I replied lamely, automatically leaning my head against his shoulder.
Edward frowned, "Are you okay? You've seemed off all day. This isn't like you, love."
"I'm fine," I lied to him. I looked to see the kids were too focused on what was going on the television screen to probably hear us.
My husband looked at me and raised his eyebrows, "Bella...Please, tell me what you're feeling. Something is not right."
"Fine...I just been feeling a bit strange," I confessed to him, shrugging.
"Oh, like how strange?" Edward asked. I could see the worry beginning to form in his topaz eyes.
"I don't know..." I trailed off. "Just...Something is wrong," I muttered. "It's probably nothing. I'm getting anxious or something."
Edward didn't seem to buy that. He bought me into his arms and held me tight. I landed against his chest and took a deep breath, taking in his scent.
"Love, something is not right," Edward whispered to me. I could see Renesmee looking towards us at the corner of my eye.
"Edward, I'm okay," I insisted, getting up. Immediately I felt a wave of nausea and I bit back on my tongue. I felt a familiar burning sensation within me and I knew exactly what it was now. "Oh no," I whispered, walking away from the living room.
Edward followed me out of the room as I made my way out, "Bella, please tell me what's going on-"
I bit my lip, "I...Edward I might be-"
Just then I felt a lurch in my stomach. My eyes widened and I ran out of the area as fast as I could. I didn't stop until I made my way to the bathroom. The moment I got in there, I let the blood usher it's way out of my mouth and into the toilet bowl. The blood seemed to get everywhere this time, streaking the white tiles of Esme and Carlisle's bathroom. I groaned, leaning against the side of the wall at the mess. Edward got into the room once I was finished, and when he saw the blood his eyes widened.
"Oh god," He whispered in knowing. He then sat next to me and placed a hand on my shoulder.
Just then, Alice came rushing into the area. Her eyes wide as she entered, "Bella!"
"Yes, Alice?" I asked as my husband helped me up.
"You're pregnant again," Alice told me. "But part of me thinks you just figured that one out."
"Kind of," I mumbled, looking towards my husband.
"Of all the times," Edward replied. I couldn't agree more. I wanted this kid, don't get me wrong- but now. Right when we're trying to defeat Lorenzo.
"You guys had sex the other night didn't you," Emmett cried out, coming into the area with the others. "You weren't just getting the kids stuff! Liars!"
"Emmett, shut up," I mumbled at him, narrowing my eyes.
"Lucky," Emmett mentioned under his breath.
I just rolled my eyes at him in response. "I'll get Carlisle," Jasper told us before rushing out of the room.
"Let's get you on the couch," Edward suggested, helping me over to the living room. I frowned. I could walk by myself, but knowing Edward he insisted I receive help.
I looked to see the kids watching us. By now, the whole family knew.
"Momma?" Renesmee called my name out, getting up from her spot on the floor. She walked over to me and held my hand. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah baby. Don't worry, I'm fine," I told her, giving a gentle smile. She doesn't seem convinced as she takes a seat next to me.
"You're pregnant again, aren't you?" Renesmee remarked, looking up at me.
I bit my lip. I could see the other kids were now gathered around to see if it was true. "Yes, baby. We're going to have another kid," I announced.
"Oh yeah! Another cousin!" Lily squealed.
"Maybe it'll be a boy!" Aidan added, grinning to himself.
Renesmee just chuckled and placed a hand on my stomach, "Maybe this time it's a boy."
"Maybe," I replied, shrugging. "But whatever it is, as long as he or she is healthy."
"Exactly," Renesmee agreed, snuggling next to me.
"Momma? Are you okay?" I look over to see Lizzy. Seth was now carrying her over to me.
"I'm fine, baby," I said to my youngest, brushing her curls back. "I'm going to have another baby."
"Oh boy!" She exclaimed, using her power. Lizzy grinned at me, "Maybe it'll be a girl."
"We'll see, dear." I chuckled as Seth placed her into my arms.
"How about the kids go hang out with Seth while we discuss things as adults," Rosalie announced, coming over.
"Why can't we stay?" Lily pouted, protesting.
"Yeah why can't we?" Aidan repeated, backing up his twin sister.
"It's because we have to talk about adult things and only adults are allowed, now go have some fun," Emmett said, backing up wife.
The kids just shrugged it off before they all ran over to the other room. Jacob only stayed to fill in for the pack and see what the plans are. If he could he would be running off to Renesmee right now.
"I'm here!" Carlisle announced, coming over with Esme. The two of them were patrolling until now. Jasper was right behind them. "What's this about Bella being pregnant?"
"I guess we'll explain," I muttered, motioning to all of us in the living room.
After talking to Carlisle, we all gathered in the living room to discuss plans. There was more to talk about now that this baby would be coming. We were more vulnerable than before.
"What are we going to do?" Rosalie asked, looking around. "Lorenzo is probably waiting for when we're at our weakest. Which I think will be coming up. That's his pattern. The last two times he's attacked, we've not exactly been on our guard. The first time, Renesmee was separated from the family and then the last time we were all about. We thought maybe we were safe, but then he attacked Lizzy. I don't think he's going to stop."
"But why?" Emmett questioned. "Why is he attacking us? I still don't understand."
"What I've seen in his mind is he finds our children a threat. Now with Lizzy and this new baby, their speeches must be an even bigger threat," Edward mentioned. "But then again, something doesn't add up. Why now? Why us?"
"It's probably our whole family," Jasper muttered. "Lily and Aidan's parents were targeted by him. We don't know much about Gwen and Matthew. Gwen told us who she was and who Matthew was, but how much did we really know?"
"They were in trouble and we helped them. That's all that mattered when it comes to Gwen and Matthew," Rosalie stated firmly.
"I wasn't saying there was anything wrong with the twins, Rose," Jasper spoke up. "I'm just saying, look at Aidan, he's powerful. And we don't even know anything about Lily. What if she has a power?"
"She could," Carlisle mentioned. "It might've not developed yet. We don't know. The worlds works in strange ways."
"Is it the Volturi?" My husband chimed in. "Could he be a weapon against us?"
Alice shook her head. Her eyes were out in space, which meant she was trying to have visions, "No. I would've seen him make the decision...I think."
"Right now, his reason is he finds us dangerous. He wants to be powerful, we're in his way," Jasper said.
"Well whatever his reason, he's a threat," Esme announced. "And I just want him gone. These children don't deserve this."
"Agreed," Rosalie chimed in.
"Alice, dear can you pick up anything?" Carlisle asked, looking at our psychic.
Alice bit her lip, "I...I did have a vision about the baby."
"Don't tell me the gender," I mumbled, covering my ears. "Not this time."
"I won't," Alice promised, looking towards me with a gentle smile. "But he or she will be born soon. I don't know the exact day, but the child will be fine. I had a brief vision. Just like Lizzy."
"Anything else? How about Lorenzo? Can you see him?" Carlisle asked.
Alice shook her head, "No...I don't think so. It's still hazy, but-" My sister paused. Her entire frame froze as she starred off. "Oh no..."
"What?" I asked frantically. My husband looked scared as he wrapped his arms tightly around me. "Alice, what did you see!?"
"He has followers, there are more," Alice whispered, wide eyed. "There's so many of them. I can see them because they aren't just like him. There are vampires, coming for our family. I can see us fighting. He has a coven and they're coming for all of us."
"No," I whispered, clutching to my husband in fear. Everyone else looked scared, gripping to their mates as they starred at Alice with wide eyes.
"Are you sure? Your visions aren't always certain," Carlisle said, but Alice shook her head.
"No. I'm sure of this one," Alice stated firmly, her eyes full of sadness. My body stiffened. Were my kids even going to have a future?
"The packs will fight, we've never been afraid of vampires. We're getting pretty sick of him anyway. He messes with my imprint and her family, the guy is gonna die," Jacob announced to us. "If he keeps attacking and he brings a whole army with him- there are going to be more kids shape shifting. We already had a few this week."
"We need to prepare, this guy isn't going to win," I announced to my family. "I refuse to let him take my daughters or Lily and Aidan. This is the final straw."
"Bella's right," Rosalie added, coming to my side. "I'm not going to stand and watch him hurt the children again. This has gone far enough, he just set up a death sentence for himself."
"Are the Denali's coming?" Jasper asked, looking at Carlisle.
He nodded, "They just got back to me this morning. They were on a hunting trip the past week. I'll tell them what's happening. Tanya told me they were willing to help."
"That's good," Esme said. "At least we have our friends help."
"Until then, we need to prepare. Think what our next move will be," Carlisle added. He then looked at me, "And that also means, Bella you need to rest."
"Alright," I agreed for the sake of my child.
"I'll be back, I'm going to tell Sam about what's going on," Jacob declared. "Tell Ness I'll be right back."
"Stay safe," I warned him.
"Aren't I always." Jacob smirked at me. I rolled my eyes at him while he runs off.
"Come on love, I'm sure the kids are getting worried," Edward murmured, grabbing my hand.
"What should we do? Should we tell them?" I whispered.
"We'll tell them tomorrow. Right now let's just enjoy this time as a family," Edward told me.
"Alright," I agreed. I then head over to where the kids are playing. The moment Renesmee see's me, her eyes lit up.
"Momma!" Renesmee cried out as she ran over to me. Lizzy follows, crawling over to us. I chuckled, scooping Lizzy in my arms and hugging my eldest daughter.
"I'm going to go to the pack, I need to warn my mom and Charlie as well. Maybe get them to go over to hang around Billy's for a few days. Stay safe," Seth told the rest of us.
"Okay," I replied. Hopefully Charlie would be protected. At least Seth was here. I'm glad we have another connection to the pack.
Seth then gave Lizzy a kiss on the top of the head before heading off.
"Momma, he's not going to hurt us right?" Renesmee asked me, looking up with wide eyes.
"No baby, I told you. I'll never let anyone hurt you," I vowed to her, hugging both girls close to me.
This man is messing with the wrong family and if he thinks he's going to try get his hands on my kids, think again. He's going to have to go through me and right now I'm a steaming mad. This man has just earned himself death. He isn't going to destroy us, ever.
