Chapter 20: The Plan

"How are we going to fight him. He has an army" I said. "We'll create one of our own. We'll gather all the witnesses again" Edward said.

"I can always call the rest of the pack. Maybe Sam and his pack will be willing to join to" Jacob said.

"I'm not so sure this is a good idea. We live on an island with a limited population and most of the witnesses hunt humans. Wouldn't it be just a little suspicious of people just suddenly started disappearing?" I asked. "She does have a point Edward" Carlisle said. "We could ask them to refrain from hunting for the time being. Or they could try our diet" Edward responded. "The packs can patrol the island and keep them in line" Jacob added.
"Okay, we can try" I said.

Jacob called the rest of the pack as well as Sam and they agreed to come. Carlisle still had maintained contact with all of the witnesses and they were willing to come. The Denalis were also willing to come and help us.

"What's all this I hear about a war?" Noah asked. "We're going to war against your father and his army. He kidnapped Nessie and he was hurting her son" Edward explained. I could feel Jacob's hand grip me tighter as he said that. "Ouch!" I shouted in pain. "Sorry, I just can't stand the idea of that man hurting you or EJ" he growled.

"I could always call Nahuel and his aunt Huilen. I'm sure that they would be willing to help" he said. "That's a good idea. They
have to refrain from hunting on the island though" Edward said.

So it was set. Everyone would arrive tomorrow. Some of them would have to stay hotels because the house wasn't that big.

I was looking at Rosalie who had EJ in her arms. She was very excited about having four more babies in the house even if 'three of them smelled faintly of wet dog'. Her exact words.

"So you decided to name him EJ?" Bella asked when she came and sat next time. "Yes" I said. "What does EJ stand for?" she asked curiously. "It stands for Edward Jacob. He's named after two very important guys in my life" I said, smiling at the thought. "That's what I was going to name you if you had been a boy" she said. "Really?" I asked shocked. "Yes, actually throughout the entire pregnancy she thought you were a boy. She would either call you EJ or her little nudger" Edward said. Bella looked like she would be blushing if she still could.

Mommy, does she have an off switch? EJ was thinking referring to Rosalie's hyper ness as she bounced and rocked him. I had to bite back a laugh. Edward looked like he wanted to laugh too. Can she stop talking to me like that? It's degrading and demeaning. "Rosalie, he doesn't seem to like the baby talk very much" I said. She looked at me like I had lost my mind. "All babies love baby talk" she said. "Don't you little one?" she said in that baby talk voice again. Mommy, I don't feel so good. He told me as she had him raised into the air. He wasn't looking so good either. "Uh Rose, you might not want to bounce him so hard" Edward said. "I think he's going to get sick" I said. "Oh please. He can handle it" she said. Two seconds later their was vomit dripping down her hair and face as well. Jacob was having a hard time containing his laughter. "I hate to say this..." I started to say but Edward interrupted. Actually we hate to say this, but we told you so" we said. "That's not all. Somehow he peed on me to" she said. Jacob could not contain his laughter anymore. He burst into hysterics and Rosalie just glared at him. I grabbed my poor vomit, pee covered son and took him to the bathroom so I could clean him up.

I passed by Jacob who was still laughing. "That's my boy alright" he said as he ruffled EJ's hair.

I git him into one of those baby bath tubs that the Cullens got me. I'm sorry mommy. I didn't mean to do that. "It's okay, it's her fault for not listening" I whispered. Do I have to come out? I really like the water. "Yes, you do" I said as I pulled him out and dried him up. Once I had him dresses in a new diaper and new pajamas we went back to the living room.

"Can I take a look at him Nessie. I don't want him to get sick again. Also, I'd like to perform a few tests to see if we could learn more about him" Carlisle said. "Okay, go ahead" I said and I handed EJ over to him and he took him upstairs.

It wasn't long before I heard EJ scream. I ran up the stairs as fast as I could. I threw the door open. Carlisle had a needle in his hand, probably to draw blood. EJ was screaming murder. "What happened?!" I asked. "Nothing yet, he saw the needle and started screaming for some reason" Carlisle said.

I immediately began to soothe him. No needles mommy! Needles are bad they hurt really bad. Those mean people poked me really hard! He was truly frightened. He thought Carlisle would hurt him. I was assaulted with images of Joham stabbing him with the needle. Then I realized that these were EJ's memories. He was sharing his memories with me.

"Carlisle put the needle down. He's terrified of the needle" I said. "He can't be" I said. "He is. He's sharing his memories with me. Joham hurt him with a needle and now he's traumatized" I said. "He cannot communicate with you Nessie" Carlisle said. "Yes, he can. His gift is telepathy" I said. "Telepathy is impossible. There are a lot of mind based gifts, but telepathy isn't one of them. Also, he is more human than vampire which makes it impossible for him to even form a complex thought" he said. "I'm telling you. He just told me that he poked him extremely hard with a needle" I said. "No he didn't! There was no physical evidence of such abuse when I checked him earlier! He's more human than anything else which makes it impossible to form a complex thought! There is no such thing as telepathy either!" He shouted. "So you don't believe me?" I asked. "Sorry if I can't believe that a baby who can't even form a complex thought, told you that he was injured when there is no physical evidence, using an impossible gift!" he shouted again.

I started to cry. EJ's lip was quivering too. Carlisle started walking towards him.

I started to cry silently. Suddenly Carlisle stopped. A confused look appeared on his face. "That's not possible" he said as he carefully picked up EJ. "What's going on?" I asked.

He turned around."I'm really sorry Nessie" he said before hugging me. "What happened?" I asked. "He told you something. Didn't he?" I asked. "Yes. He said stop being mean to my mommy, you made her cry and it makes me sad too" Carlisle said.

"Whoa" I said. "I don't understand. Telepathy is impossible. At least I thought it was" he said. "There are somethings that we just won't ever understand" I said. "I'd still like a blood sample though" he said. "I'll hold him then and soothe him" I said.

It worked. Carlisle was able to get the sample once EJ was convinced that Carlisle would not hurt him.

"Carlisle, I think I know why we didn't see anything before" I said. "That explains a lot" he said. It seemed that EJ had inherited his father's fast healing capability.

Suddenly Edward appeared. "Carlisle we have a huge problem" he said. "What's wrong?" he asked. "Leah and Jessica have both gone into labor" he said. "Okay, how's that a problem?" I asked. "Leah is in wolf form and Jessica's baby is ripping it's way out like a regular hybrid" he said.
