A/N A huge thanks to my special friend OoJasper'sAngeloO for not only her beta work but for telling me that this chapter basically sucked until I added on to it. Now its better than awesome at least that's what she said. I love you girl. I no longer have a pre-reader but my beta does a good job. We're gonna find out what happened with Bella as well as find out some things. Hope you enjoy this. I made it extra long to make up for the long wait. Hopefully, the wait won't be as long any more. My second job as eased up a lot.
I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.
Major's POV
I'm sittin' here lookin' at my babies. It's over now and I'm still havin' a hard time believin' that I'm a father. Somethin' broke inside of me when my son reached up and grabbed my finger. It was almost completely destroyed when Bella's heart stopped. I think that it was the wall that I had put up to keep me from feelin' shit. It was for my own protection that it was built in the first place. Protection from all of the fuckin' shit that Maria made me do, and the monster she fuckin' turned me into.
Ethan thought it was best for me to hold our children while he worked on their mother. It seems that the second baby was too impatient to wait to come out the normal way and started to chew her way out. He was able to stop it by cuttin' her stomach open doin' what he called a C-section whatever the fuck that is.
There were more surprises waitin' for us. Right after our daughter was born Bella's heart stopped. It took a couple of minutes but Ethan showed me what to do. So while I did the CPR shit he took care of what was goin' on down below so to speak. We did get her heart to workin' on its own finally. She's restin' right now and I'm sittin' next to her with our babies waitin' for her to wake up. She's been out for several hours now.
I know that I could have bitten her and started her change but she and I had talked about it and it was her wish that she be turned only as a last resort. She wanted a few months of bein' human with our babies before bein' turned. She didn't want to miss their first few months. Of course at the time we thought we were only havin' one. Sadly though she hasn't seen our other babies.
Now normally accordin' to Ethan the weight of the babies would be a major concern. They were very tiny, but since they were part vampire there was no need to be concerned about their size, they would grow fast. Much faster than humans. They have already had six bottles of blood between them. At this rate we will run out of donated blood quickly.
Beth did get some of that formula shit and tried to feed them. My son, he takes after me and wanted nothing to do with that nasty stuff. Peter went out and caught a mountain lion but it still has to be placed in those fuckin' bags the same as human blood or it isn't any good after a few hours. My boy while he didn't turn it down he let it be known that he didn't like it as much as the human blood.
Bella finally started to come around. I reached over and started to rub her cheek just wantin' her to know that I was here. She was pale and very weak but she was alive and would make a full recovery thanks to Ethan. Beth and Carly both had made sure to clean her up and put fresh clothes on her after he was done with her. Even in her weakened condition she was still so fuckin' beautiful.
He had to give her some blood as she lost quiet a bit. I could hear Char and Beth downstairs makin' something for her to eat. She needed to keep her strength up especially for our newest members of the family. She would also need to time to bond with our babies, as I had already done so.
Yeah, for about two hours after their birth I sat and held them. It was durin' that time that they would reach up for me and touch my face, and hair. They listened quietly as I spoke to them and told them how much their mama was lookin' forward to meetin' them. They smiled when I told them how much they were loved not just by her but by me as well. I swear they could understand every fuckin' word I was sayin'.
Finally, Bella opened her eyes and then tried to sit up. Char who had come in to see if she was hungry quickly pushed her back down. Told her she needed to rest before tryin' to get up. She looked at me and smiled. It was weak but it was there, and it made me happy to know that seein' me made her smile.
Char told her that she would bring up some juice and toast. Beth came in to check on her, make sure that she wasn't bleedin' anymore. Since she had tried to sit up she could have ripped one of the stitches and she didn't need to lose any more blood. They both left quickly as I needed to show her our babies.
"Darlin', you can't sit up for a while but I would like to introduce you to our children. You were out so you couldn't see them. Now, they don't have names yet as we never really talked about names so we'll have to get right on that as soon as you're up to it. We can't just keep callin' them babies. I'm gonna prop you up a little bit with these pillows. Then I'll bring them over so you can meet them properly."
I had put them on the blankets on the floor when she had started to wake up. I wanted to be able to help her if she needed it. Once I had her propped up just enough so that she could see them I went to get them. I had a problem though. I asked Bella if she thought she could hold one while I brought the others over.
I quickly made my way back after handin' her our son, and then back to her, "Mama, this is our son which you met at his birth. This is his sister who tried to get out herself, and this mama is our second girl who was hidin' behind her sister apparently. We have three babies darlin'. All are healthy, and have been wantin' to meet their mama. Now they were all very small when they were born but already have grown. Our son seems to prefer blood right now and won't touch that shit they call formula; the girls will eat both blood and formula. They have had both donated human blood and some mountain lion. It seems they have teeth so Beth will be fixin' them some human shit to eat a little later. So what do you think about bein' a mama to three?"
She was cryin' and touchin' all three as best she could. She was in some pain but I knew the tears weren't from sadness. She was feelin' happy, excited, and so much love that it would have knocked me to my knees if I had been standin'. She was still exhausted and I knew that she needed her rest.
The babies were awake and seemed to know that their mama was awake as well. They were watchin' her and were makin' noises at her. I could feel that they loved her and were so happy that she was finally with them. She reached down to touch one of our daughters under her chin and she giggled at her mama. Any part of the fuckin' wall that might have been inside of me completely crumbled when I saw and heard our child laughin'.
Beth brought up the juice and toast for Bella but she refused to allow anyone to move the babies. She ate while talkin' to them and tryin' to get them to laugh. They were laughin' and squealin' up a storm and it was music to our ears. Everyone just had to come in to see what was goin' on. They watched in awe and love as Bella played and talked with our children.
Right after she had finished her juice she felt more pain and she was still exhausted. Ethan said that it would be good for her to sleep a few hours as long as she ate more when she woke up. He gave her somethin' to help with the pain but she asked if the babies could stay until she started to feel the medicine workin'. If I had it my way we would stay like this forever.
I knew she was more exhausted than she was lettin' on but she needed to be close to our babies just like I did. She continued to keep her hands on them but had laid back and watched as I talked and played with them. I explained to them that their mama was still weak from havin' them and needed to be careful and sleep a lot. Bella's eyes got big when I told them to be quiet so she could go to sleep and they all did just that.
Yeah, my kids are smart. They know to listen when I talk. Ethan had explained that because they are half vampire their brains mature much more quickly than normal and that his own daughter had been sayin' her first words by the time she was two weeks old. At three months, she was takin' her first steps. While I was anxious to see all of this happen right now all I wanted was for their mama to be with me and back to normal when it did.
She finally fell asleep and Beth, Carly, and Char all came up and took a baby. They hadn't fed since they woke up as I didn't want to upset my mate by her havin' to watch them drink blood. They seemed to understand without bein' told that their mama was different then I am. At least that's the way it seemed as they didn't start fussin' for food until they left the room. Maybe it was just the fact that they needed her as much as they need food.
The next afternoon Bella was awake and feelin' more 'human', her words not mine. We talked for a long time about names while feedin' them. Although the girls were takin' formula and that made it easier for her to feed them. We were going to try some soft foods in the next day or two.
Bella of course wanted to name our son after me. We argued for a long time over that one. I felt like my son needed his own name, and not named after a monster like me. She said that in my past I had done some monstrous things but that I wasn't that man or vampire anymore. Still, there were many vampires that when they heard my name it made them tremble in fear. Especially if I was headed in their direction.
No, I wanted my son's name to make others proud that they knew him. I wanted him to grow up to learn how to be fair, yet strong enough to not let anyone mess with him. I wanted him to understand that yes, his father was a badass but that because of his mama he had learned to love and be loved. I also didn't want him to have to say,"Don't mess with me because my father is the Major." I wanted him to be able to defend himself without usin' my name, or fear of me to help him in his fights.
Of course if I had it my way, none of my children would ever have to fight for anything. I had watched Ethan, Beth, and their daughter Carly enough to want what they have. A strong lovin' relationship with each other. Carly was treated as an equal, none of the,"I'm a full vampire and you're not so I'm better than you." shit. The only time there was a noticeable difference was if something extremely heavy needed to be moved.
While Carly could move average shit around much easier than humans, she still couldn't lift cars, boulders, or trees. She did show that she could pick up furniture without any problems, she could run faster than humans but not as fast as the average vampire. Her hearin' and eyesight were almost as good as a vampire's, her sense of smell not so good and it almost cost her her life. It was the reason she was only allowed to hunt deer.
She had caught a herd of deer that were drinkin' and was about to pounce when she herself was attacked. Apparently she wasn't the only one huntin' that day. A cougar had been stalkin' the same herd and found her to be more appealin' that the deer. Her parents were smart enough to stay close by otherwise she might have been killed. She only had some cuts where the claws had been able to dig into her skin, although they did heal in a few hours instead of a few days.
At least we had some idea of what to expect as the kids grew. But right now we still need to pick names for them. Since I refused to allow my son to be named after me, Bella decided to go for meanin' of names and borrowed Char's computer to look up names and their meanings. I asked her about namin' our son after her dad but she said that it would bring back too many bad memories. Apparently he hadn't liked Edward at all and she had given him a hard time the last few months before he was killed tryin' to stop her from bein' taken.
Finally after several hours goin' through names and makin' a list of the ones we liked we made our choices. I must admit defeat with my mate as she finally talked me into a compromise. We called all of the aunts and uncles which now included Ethan, Beth, and Carly into the room. They were all excited and really wanted to know what we had decided to name them.
"Alright we made the decisions after a few arguments of course. Our son will be called, Joshua Bryan Jasper Whitlock. I know its a mouthful but my mate here was demandin' that the boy carry my name. We will teach him to not use it unless it's something that needs his full name.
The first girl here will be called Brianna Isabella Whitlock. This is how Bella got me to give in by promisin' to name a daughter after her. She also had to make another compromise, our youngest daughter is Katelyn Charli Whitlock. Her father was an honorable man who gave his life willingly tryin' to protect his daughter. I think that he would be proud of havin' a grandchild named after him. So what does everyone think?"
Everyone was ecstatic about the names and made sure to try out nicknames for all of them. When Bella was finally on her feet she had me talk to Ethan and Beth and asked if they would mind stayin' and helpin' out with the kids. Peter in his knowin' shit said that they needed to stay. They would be a very important part later in our lives and needed to stay with us.
I have a bad feelin' that maybe Carly is the mate of my son. She did spend a lot of fuckin' time with him. Yeah, okay, so she spent a lot of time with all of the kids. Still I couldn't help but wonder. Bella told me I was bein' a stupid male jumpin' to the wrong fuckin' conclusions as usual. Still I decided to watch her with him and wait to see what happens.
The kids grew and we discovered that our son has both mine and their mama's gifts. He's an empath but can only project what he feels at the time. He also has a shield of sorts. That he can project at lightin' speed. He's knocked us on our asses more than a few also has a shield of sorts that he can project at lightin' speed. He's knocked us on our asses more than a few times. Peter and I are workin' with him to try to keep him from killin' one of us.
He's destroyed a few trees and did a major job of destroyin' Peter's truck while Peter was in it! If it hadn't have been for Peter's lightin' fast reflexes he would have been crushed right along with the truck.
Today it's been four months since the birth and we now know that the girls do have gifts. If it came to a confrontation I would hate to be on the other side. Brianna can move shit with her mind. She just thinks about what she wants to move and it happens. She can even move vampires and that in itself was something that fuckin' Peter thought was just so fuckin' funny, until he found himself in front of her, without him movin' himself. Peter says that he feels like its strong enough to destroy even a vampire if she loses control. As yet we haven't had to find out.
Katelyn sadly has no defensive gifts. Its not a useless gift just one that will only keep her from befriendin' someone dangerous. She can sense a person's true intentions. I would love to see her read Edward. She would not be one to let him walk all over her or her family. She is feisty just like her mama. Brianna is more quiet. She's is much like I was when I was human. When Maria got a hold of me that changed of course with my change from human to vampire.
Ethan had taken his family to hunt after I had gotten back with Peter, Char, and the kids. Took them out on their first hunt but animals of course. Bella would have my ass if I taught them how to hunt humans. Although the three of us still do feed off the scum of human society but never takin' the kids with us. When we hunt with them, we hunt animals.
I do take down the cougars and bring it to them. There's no fuckin' way I'm lettin' my kids get hurt. As soon as we got back they left. I went to find my beautiful mate with the kids cookin' some nasty smellin' shit. Yeah, I would take them to hunt and then they would eat some human food. They seemed to want both back to back.
After a few minutes I noticed Peter pacin' out front and decided that I needed to know what the fuck was goin' on. I actually had to stop him when he didn't appear to even notice that I had joined him, "Captain what the fuck is goin' on? You're pacin' like a fuckin' caged animal. Just fuckin' tell me what you're feelin' and we'll work it out from there."
"Do you remember the day that everyone left except you? Bella and the girls took the kids shoppin' and we went huntin'. You said that you needed to make some calls to try to find out what kind of shit the Cullens and Volturi were up to. You said that they were sendin' out guard members to try to follow up on reports. Well, I felt like something was gonna happen but when we got back and nothing was wrong I decided that maybe the kids had knocked my knowin' shit out of whack so I didn't say anything. Now the feelin' is back and its bad. Something is about to happen, and it could mean death for some of us."
He was about to continue when we heard Ethan and his family runnin' towards us. Well, Ethan was carryin' Carly as he was usin' his vampire speed at full throttle. As soon as he was up to us he spoke urgently, "We have problems Major! We need to get everyone inside and gathered together. Its the Volturi! They're coming. . .
