Recently I've been in the writing mood so hopefully, I will be updating more often. This happens every now and again when I get bored of reading, lol. Enjoy!

Chapter Three

Dream

Hermione's eyes slid open and she peered at her surroundings. She seemed to be floating in a white mist, nothing around her. "Edward? Carlisle? Esme? Alice? Anyone?" She called, her voice echoing slightly in the lonely mist.

"Hello, Child." A voice called, it echoing with an otherworldly undertone. Hermione spun round at inhuman speed and came face to face with a woman in a white toga.

"My name is Aurelia. I have been sent by the fates to deliver you a message." The woman told her. Her long, straight blonde hair billowed out behind her in some unseen wind, her eyes, all white, shining with her aura. She was beautiful.

"What message? Where's is Edward? What happened?" Hermione asked, becoming more stressed by the second. "The fates have seen watched you. They have heard your silent pleas. You have seen how you have sacrificed yourself for others time and time again, never once asking for a reward. They are granting you your reward. The reward of bearing children."

Hermione gaped at her. "Excuse me? I'm a Vampire. I can't have children. Now where is Edward? What is going on?" She hissed.

Aurelia sighed. "Edward is with your body while your Spirit is in the ether. To them you merely appear to be sleeping. The fates are granting you the gift of four children, no more. They see you as worthy." She replied, answering all Hermione's questions.

"Four? Why four?" She gasped. Aurelia smiled kindly. "They like even numbers." She replied with a noncommittal shrug. The wind around her changed directions and Hermione's heightened senses caught a hint of whispers. Aurelia turned her head towards the wind. "It's time to send you back, Hermione Cullen. Good luck." She whispered.

Edward held his wife as she lay limp in his arms. "CARLISLE!" He screamed. The door burst open and the Cullen family ran into the room. Alice was at the front of the crowd. "I…I didn't see it coming." She gasped, her topaz eyes worriedly fixed on her sister in law's face.

Jasper gathered his pixie Vampire wife into his arms and sent a calming wave at her. Alice fell into his arms, weeping softly. Carlisle stepped forward and dropped down beside the sleeping vampire, the impossibility that was before him.

He ran his hands gently over her face and lifted her eye lids. The topaz orbs flickered desperately beneath her lids. Carlisle let them shut again and looked thoughtfully at her. "Carlisle, please. Do something. I can't lose her." Edward pleaded pathetically. "If she dies, I will go to Italy, before the Volturi and beg to die." Esme gasped in horror at this proclamation. "Never do such a stupid thing."

Edward looked down in surprise. Hermione's topaz eyes stared back into his own. "If I ever died, don't you dare even consider killing yourself." She spat.

"Mione!" Alice squealed, throwing herself into the witch's arms. Hermione laughed and hugged Alice tightly. "Easy, Pixie." Alice pulled back and glared at her slightly. "Don't ever do that again. I thought you had died. I didn't even see it coming." She wailed softly. Hermione bit her lip, a habit left over from her human life, and mulled over Aurelia's words.

"Hermione? Do you want to have a day off work? What happened?" Edward asked softly, stroking Hermione's hair. "Nothing, nothing happened. Just some nonsense. Some woman said I went to the ether and the fates had granted me a gift. As I said, Nonsense. I'm going to work." She replied.

The Cullens gaped at her. "What?" Hermione asked defensively. "The fates gave you a gift?" Carlisle gasped. "No, it was just some stupid stupor brought on by the stress of the day." Hermione dismissed it, standing. "What time is it?" She asked.

"One." Edward replied. "Oh, I'm going in early. I know I should be in at Six, but I could use a little training to let off some steam." Hermione stated, running into her and Edward's room and changing into her Auror robes at Vampire speed. Before the Cullens could stop her, she apperated.

Kingsley was just on his way to his office when he saw Hermione walking towards the Auror training room. "Hermione, it's One! You aren't due here until six." He called. Hermione waved him off. "I've had a really bad day, Kingsley. I just need to work it off." She called, entering the room.

The Cullens sat in their house, staring at the spot where she had left. "What type of gift do you think she was given?" Emmett asked after a while. "I don't know. But in time we shall know." Alice replied as she snuggled in Jasper's arms some more. "I just hope what ever it is, Hermione can handle it." Edward nodded. "She can. She's Hermione Cullen."
