A/N A huge thanks to my friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for her beta work, and my pre-reader sinfulroad69, I love you both. Alright, another time jump, more twists, and a whole lot of stuff going on. This chapter seemed to write itself, otherwise I wouldn't have been able to post it. Hope you enjoy. Important AN at bottom.
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.
Bella's POV
It was six months ago today that I found out I was pregnant again. The girls just turned a year old the other day and I can't believe how big they are. They appear to be about six or seven years old now. They have the intelligence of adults.
Jasper has been working with the kids, training them to use their gifts. We have Bia and mom along with Felix here and Bia is training as well as her nieces.
Our youngest are still just a little too young yet to go into full training. Jasper is so fucking proud of our kids and he shows them every day just how much he loves them. My secret desire is fulfilled when I watch him with them when he doesn't know I'm watching.
He told me after I found out the second time that I was pregnant that he had wanted to have more than one. I'm thinking right now he should have been a lot more careful for what he wished for. He doesn't have to go through the fucking throwing up, or swelling feet, belly and hands. And he sure as hell doesn't have to go through giving birth.
Carlisle confirmed that I was indeed pregnant again. I was about the equivalent of four months pregnant. Which meant maybe another two to three months. The girls came early, but then again there were three of them.
I kept getting sick no matter how much blood I drank. So Carlisle increased the amount. He also decided that with Emmett's computer knowledge, to do some research with his help, but not about the pregnancy.
He was able to find what he was wanting, but because of the way records were kept during Jasper's human life, it was hard to know for certain that the information was accurate. Once he had found what he was looking for he called mom.
Apparently she had said something to him and he did the background checking. As soon as he told her that I was once again pregnant, she came back and this time brought not only her family, but a shitload of other vampires that had been used by the Volturi in one way or another.
I had a rough time with the first month of the pregnancy and could barely keep anything down, even blood sometimes came back up. I tried so hard to be there for my girls, but I just couldn't even get out of bed some days.
On those days Jasper would bring the girls in and would sit with me on the bed. While I could only sit and watch, I loved being able to see my husband and our girls interact with each other. He worshiped our girls and no matter what, he would always have their backs.
Once I was into the second month of my pregnancy I started to feel better and was able to keep things down. I was finally able to join the family and I ended up going to the opposite extreme. I went from not being able to eat, to eating everything I could get my hands on.
Emmett made a few jokes about me getting fat, but it was too late. I was already fat and growing rapidly every day. It didn't take long for me to not only regain all of the weight I had lost, but to gain twenty pounds over my normal weight.
Every evening Jasper and I had our family time. It was just he and I and the girls. We would sit and the girls would talk to the baby and so would their daddy. We would listen as the girls would tell us about any part of their day we had missed.
Their favorite thing to do was to get their aunt Bia to use her gift on uncles Peter and Emmett. Yep they would make them do embarrassing things. Although I did make their daddy sit them down and explain that it wasn't nice to take advantage of others who weren't all that smart.
Their daddy taught them all to ride horses. And of course that meant getting them all horses that were extra gentle. Snow King loved to have any or all of them ride him, but he was kind of big. Jasper wanted the girls to be able to take care of their own horses.
While we would love to have the girls depend on us for everything, we knew it wouldn't be practical. While Jasper spent time with them training them to use their gifts, he also spent time teaching them how to live life and make good decisions.
Obviously most of their decisions were pretty much about whether they wanted to pull a prank on their uncles or not. Most of the time they decided that Em and Peter needed just one more prank pulled on them. They actually didn't mind too much. If it made the girls happy they were all for it. Those girls had every single member of the family wrapped around their fingers.
Jasper made a discovery one evening while we were doing our family time together. Before I could stop him he went running to the family and let them know what was going on. Carlisle confirmed it later and I couldn't help but laugh at the way he was just so excited and he projected it out to everyone else.
The family was happy and at peace. Until the day I went into labor. Within minutes our world came crashing down, or at least Jasper's did. I wasn't really aware that much after our son was born. The first one that is.
My labor was quick and when our first son came into the world Jasper was over the moon. He was beautiful and had his daddy's hair, but my eyes. Everything was fine, but I was still in labor waiting for the second baby to come. Then suddenly everything went terribly wrong.
I could feel the baby seemed to be coming down, but then there was a gush of blood. Something had gone wrong and I was bleeding out. I could feel the baby struggle and then the most horrible pain came from inside of my belly. It felt like I was being ripped apart from the inside out.
I vaguely heard screaming and finally realized it was mine. Then I heard voices shouting and was going in and out of consciousness. I heard someone shouting for me to stay with them, but they didn't understand. The darkness that was calling to me made the pain stop.
Suddenly the pain intensified and it was white hot, searing and ripping of flesh. I felt the darkness trying to pull me under. I wanted so badly to just let go and let the darkness take me away.
But the voice kept pulling me back, begging, sobbing for me to come back to him. Begging me to fight, to stay with him and with our babies. Our babies, our son was here. I needed to fight for the voice. The pain was still there, but it was no longer the searing pain of before.
The darkness felt so good. The voice told me that I had to stay with him. He needed me to help him raise our sons. Our daughters needed me. He was laying next to me and he was crying, continuing to beg me to fight and come back. I needed to fight for him, for our babies.
I felt myself wade through the pain and finally was pulled back into reality. I finally opened my eyes and looked at the one whose voice helped me to want to fight. My husband, he had venom tears in his eyes, but I felt his relief when I looked at him. Why was he crying? Was something wrong with one of our babies?
He finally spoke and then I realized I had missed something. Something important. He then told me what happened, "Baby, please fight. I need you to listen to me. You remember having a son?"
I nodded yes as I still couldn't speak, "You had the first son and then a second baby started coming down the birth canal. Unfortunately the cord was wrapped around his neck in such a way that it ruptured as he started to come down.
He was starting to bleed out just like you were, so he did the only thing his instincts told him to. He ripped his way out or started to. Carlisle was able to cut through and get him out before he completely tore you up, but darlin', you have too much damage even for Carlisle to fix. I need to bite you and start your change. Please tell me its what you want. I need you and so do our children. I will be right here until you wake up. Just please baby, say yes."
I nodded yes. Silly man, did he not understand that I couldn't leave him or our children. I vaguely heard Carlisle saying something to Jasper and then he licked my neck before biting down. The pain wasn't that bad, but as I felt him biting my wrists, ankles and my upper thighs, I felt the burning starting to spread.
I have no clue as to how long I burned for. Jasper said it was just slightly under two days. Carlisle says that he thought that the fact that there was already venom in my blood helped to quicken my change. Since the cells in my body were already partly altered, it wouldn't take long to alter the rest.
When I woke up the only ones in the room were Jasper, Peter and Char. They were by the door, but Jasper was standing beside the bed. I had thought he was the most attractive man I had ever seen, but nothing could compare to seeing him with my new eyes. The scars which I could see even more clearly now, took nothing away. They seemed to add to how sexy he is. It screamed danger, but not to me.
I wanted nothing more than to rip his fucking clothes off and touch him. As soon as that thought was there, his clothes weren't. There that is. I had ripped them off and he was under me before I could stop myself. I heard him tell someone, "Leave."
He asked me if I was thirsty, but then forgot all about being thirsty. I was, but it wasn't for blood. We both lost track of time, but we were both more than just satisfied once I was able to let him go. We had claimed each other, finally. He now wore my mark on his body that screamed to every female around, he is MINE!
As soon as I could handle letting him go, we both got dressed and went to hunt. It was easier than I thought it would be. The only problem we had was the fact that Jasper can be an overprotective asshole sometimes. He seems to have forgotten that I'm no longer human, as when I found a nice bear he started to panic and tried to get me to let him kill it first.
I had to threaten to use my shield to keep him in place if he didn't let me hunt my way. I knew that his instincts were screaming at him to protect me and take care of me, but just like with our daughters he had to realize that he couldn't be around us 24/7. We needed to be able to function if he wasn't around.
He was more interested in watching me hunt, take down my prey and then feed, than he was in hunting himself. Once I had drained the bear, or I should say once I had what I wanted, I let him have the rest. I just wasn't as thirsty as I had heard newborns were supposed to be.
After feeding it was his turn to attack me and we ended up having to go back with no clothes at all. Everything had been ripped apart in our haste to get naked. We decided to go to our house and get cleaned up and then I was going to meet my sons. They still had no names yet, but I'm sure mom will help us out again.
Jasper was amazed at the fact that I wasn't acting like any newborn he had ever met, but still, we would both feel much better having others around when meeting my children for the first time as a vampire. He was positive that I would have no problem being around them, but I refused to take any chances and made sure that the others would get the kids away if I did become filled with blood lust.
What neither one of us realized until we actually got to the main house was that we had been away from the kids for a week now. The two days of my change and then the few days we had been busy claiming each other. I guess time really is different for vampires than humans.
As soon as I walked into the house I was attacked by three very excited girls. I was worried because they had obviously disobeyed their grandparents and aunts and uncles. They had been told that I might not be able to be around them for very long and therefore they should wait until I came to them.
With Jasper on one side of me, Peter on the other, Char behind me and Rose, Esme and mom behind the girls ready to snatch them away if necessary, I took a deep breath to inhale the scents of my girls. They smelled like. . .heaven. They smelled so good, but not as food. My throat didn't burn and I had no desire for their blood, at all.
I gave Jasper my "told you so" look. Then it was time to meet my sons, no, our sons. They were identical. With one exception, one had his daddy's curly blonde hair with my eyes or what used to be my eyes. The other one had black curly hair, with again, my eyes. Their faces made me think of what Jasper might have looked like as a child.
Esme spoke up, "How are you feeling Bella? Have you decided on names yet?"
I looked at mom and she smiled and said, "This one here with black hair should be named Rhett, the other, Donahue. Rhett means speaker, enthusiastic. Donahue means dark warrior."
Esme who had been holding both of them handed them to me. I called each of them by their names and they both smiled. Unfortunately they were no longer small. They appeared to be about three months old rather than a week old.
The next two months were filled with training, for the kids and just getting to know our sons. We haven't quite gotten to know what our sons can do yet, if anything. The girls loved helping with their brothers and were more than willing to teach them things. Jasper and I were so fucking lucky that we had been given these five special gifts.
Speaking of gifts, we found out that my shields are even stronger now, but we kind of figured that would happen. I would be starting my training in a few days. Jasper wanted me to wait until our sons were more able to move around on their own. Tomorrow would be my first day of training. Right now though I was feeling happier than I have ever been. Why? Because I'm seeing the most beautiful sight ever.
The girls wanted their daddy to tell them a story before going to bed. The boys wanted whatever their sisters wanted. So Jasper had brought them all to the girl's room which had bigger beds and laid down with them.
He had a girl in each arm, the tiniest one, Adara, on his chest in between and the boys were sprawled across his stomach and legs. Apparently they had all fallen asleep while daddy was telling them a story. His eyes were closed, but the smile on his face showed he was wide awake and happy.
At this moment its hard to try to imagine that one day those precious babies would end up being the ones to take down the strongest group of vampire monsters ever to have existed. My only hope is that they would all stay the innocent, loving children that they are right now. I can't dream any more, but I can sure as fuck hope. . .
A/N Please tell me what you think. At least there wasn't any nasty cliffy like I usually do. To those who don't follow my other stories, I have just had more stress put on me. Our landlord wants us out by Dec. of the house we live in. So now, I have to work, look for another place to live, pack, move, and still try to write chapters. I will do my best to keep regular updates like I have been doing, but please just be patient with me. I'll do my best to keep on writing but the days I have off will now be spent looking at places to live. Once we have a place, then we'll be packing. I didn't think I would have a chapter to post today for this story, but the chapter basically wrote itself. So blame it for what happened. Thanks to everyone who reviewed, and added this story to their favorites and alerts, love you guys.
