Chapter 32: Beginning Of The End
Nessie's POV
The next few days went by in a blur after that as everyone prepared for the big battle that was about to happen. EJ and I, along with the rest of the babies, continued to get better and better as the days went by. Soon we were all back to our perfectly healthy selves.
I watched and listened as everyone planned for the attack and the battle that was about to happen. I was glad that at least the Joham problem had been taken care of and it was one less thing that I had to worry about. I wasn't going to be part of the battle at all. It was decided a while ago that it would be best if my sister, my cousin, Noah, and I stayed behind with the babies as the battle took place. Even though I was supposed to stay behind I couldn't help but be extremely nervous for reasons that I could not understand. I didn't know why, I mean, my family and the wolves were all extremely strong and could take on the Volturi. Yet, I still couldn't help but feel extremely nervous for some reason.
Then the day came when the attack was to take place.
"We'll be fine Nessie" Jacob vowed.
"I know you will. It's silly of me to worry about you all like this. I know that, but I still can't help but feel very nervous about everything that is about to happen. I'm very worried and scared Jake" I said.
"Don't worry Nessie, everything will be fine. You'll see" Jacob said in a very serious voice.
"I love you Jake" I said to him.
"I love you to Nessie. Can I have EJ for a minute?" he asked.
"Of course!" I said appalled that he would even have to ask.
EJ's heartwarming smile aimed at his father made my heart melt. "and I love you EJ" he said as he gave my son a kiss which made him smile even more. "Don't ever forget that okay son?" he said. Jacob actually started crying. I think that this was the first time that I had seen him cry, ever.
"You two take care of each other, okay?" Jacob said as he handed over EJ. "I'll be back really soon for you two. Once this is over once and for all" Jacob said. I hugged Jacob one more time before he left.
"He'll be okay EJ, he will be" I said to my son. Although I'm not sure who I was trying to reassure more, him or me?
"He will mommy" EH said.
Time seemed to go by slowly after that. I played with EJ. I gave him a bath. I rocked him to sleep slowly as I sung him a lullaby. I watched as his little eyes got more and more sleepy looking before finally shutting completely. I held onto him for a while. Holding him always made me feel a lot more at ease and at peace. I'm not sure why but there is just something about this baby boy of mine that had a way of keeping me calm and levelheaded. I watched as his chest rose and fell steadily as he snored lightly. I kissed my son gently before setting him down on the bed. I looked at him for a long while before leaving. I wasn't going very far. I was just going downstairs to get something to eat and to bring it back to the room. But as it turned out, leaving my son, even for a few minutes was the biggest mistake that I'd regret for the rest of my life.
I screamed when I got back to my room and saw that he wasn't there anymore.
Just then Mike, Noah, and Sarah came in with frantic looks on their faces.
"Nessie, are babies are gone! We don't know what happened to them!" Sarah said.
"They're all gone!?" I shouted hysterically.
"Yes" Mike said. We all left them alone for just a few minutes for one reason or another and when we came back they were all gone. We don't know what happened to them" he said desperately.
"Only Calvin was left" Sarah said.
I couldn't believe it. The babies, my baby were all gone. I sank to my knees.
