CHAPTER 20
“Mom!” I yelled when I got to the house. Jake and I decided to go straight there rather than wait for them.
“Renesmee, how are you sweetheart?” mom asked, touching my cheek, with me still inside her hug.
I nodded and answered, “Yeah, I am. Is everyone else fine?” I asked.
Mom looked frightened in an instant as I asked. Something is wrong. Something is really wrong.
“Mom, what’s up?” I demanded. Mom didn’t answer.
“Bells, c’mon! Tell us.” Jake said.
“Renesmee…” mom said, she starting to cry tearlessly.
“Mom? Mom, what’s wrong?” I asked again.
“It’s your dad. And your Uncle Emmett” she muttered.
I let go of my hold from my mother, I suddenly I felt dizzy and I feel I was going to faint.
“Nessie!” Jake yelled as he catches my fall.
“I’m fine Jake” I said. Then I faced my mother. “Mom, what happened? Please tell me what happened” I begged.
“Let’s go inside first, this is not the place” mom whispered. She was dazed.
“Okay”
As we went inside, Jake and I just left our luggage in the living room, because mom went straight up stairs, and no one was in the living room.
Mom, Jake and I went straight to Grandpa Carlisle’s room, there I saw dad and Uncle Emmett unconscious in separate beds.
I gasped.
“What happened!?” I demanded of no one.
Mom was beside dad, holding his hand. “Just after you and Jake left, a coven of newborn vampires attacked us. Your father tried to protect me, and he got knocked out.”
“And Uncle Em?” I asked.
Aunt Rose, who was beside Uncle Em answered, “He was trying to cover me up.”
“Why? Aunt Rose, I thought you were a capable fighter?” I asked.
“I am Nessie, it was just, we found a baby…” Aunt Rose said, showing me a child in her arms.
I closely examined the baby…and from what I analyzed made me gasped.
“It’s…it’s a…vampire. Oh god." I gasped.
This is a going to a problem. Not just because the Volturi might kill us, but also because it might kill jacob.
CHAPTER 21
Grandpa Carlisle, Grandma Esme, Uncle Jasper, Aunt Rose and Jake were downstairs. Mom, Aunt Alice, and I were upstairs, watching over dad and Uncle Em.
“Mom? Where did you find the vampire kid?” I asked for I was extremely curious.
“Well, I was the one who found it actually, just after I waved you and Jake good-bye, I saw the child move in the bushes. Everyone wanted to give it to the Volturi, but Rosalie wanted the child, and she even named it. She called the child Henry. Almost everyone disagreed.”
“Almost?” I asked.
“Well, you know Emmett. He would do whatever Rose wanted” Aunt Alice answered.
“Oh, but, when did the newborns attacked?” I asked, all the information was very confusing.
“Just when Rose picked up Henry, the newborns suddenly came out of no where.” Aunt Alice explained.
“I’m happy everyone is alright, I guess.”
“Not everyone” mom muttered, dazed as usual. Her eyes were locked on dad face. She was tearlessly sobbing again; I ran towards her and wrapped both arms around her shoulders.
“Shh…It’s going to be fine mom; dad’s going to wake up soon.” I soothed her. She just nodded.
After a while, I noticed that dad’s eyes were flickering.
“Edward?” mom gasped.
“Emmett?” Aunt Alice said suddenly, I turned my head toward her direction, she leaning toward Uncle Em. I also saw his eyes flicker.
“Ugh.” Dad groaned. I snapped my head back again to look at my father.
Dad was moving.
“Edward?” mom gasped again.
Dad finally opened his eyes. Then he looked around the room until he spotted me and mom.
“Bella? Renesmee?” Dad asked us.
“Edward!” mom yelled, hugging dad really tight.
“Hey dad.” I muttered. I couldn’t get any closer. Mom was hogging dad. Jeez, over romantic much?
“Emmett!” Aunt Alice yelled.
I turned my gaze to Uncle Em. He blinked a few times then looked at us. “Alice? Nessie? Whoa…that was… weird.”
I ran downstairs with super vampire speed. “They’re awake!” I yelled. then they all turned their heads towards me. And a shocked but happy grin spread across their faces.
“Well? What are you waiting for? Christmas? C’mon!” I yelled. Then I ran upstairs and everybody following me.
When everyone was there, all I saw was hugging and laughing, Jake was even joking around with dad, and then suddenly mom was apologizing none stop. Of course dad was soothing her and shushing her gently.
Aunt Rose on the other hand was showing off their Henry to her husband. It was quite an awkward day. But of course I was really happy that Uncle Em and dad were awake now. I sighed in relief. And for that time, all I did was gently stroke my stomach.
“Renesmee? Are you pregnant?” Aunt Alice suddenly asked me in a whisper.
CHAPTER 22
Great and it was supposed to be a surprise too. I thought. Oh! Darn it! Dad can hear. Well, to late now, Aunt Alice has already cracked me up.
I just looked down and I could feel I was blushing scarlet red. I wonder what Jake’s reaction is?
“Renesmee…is it true?” Jake asked. Oh boy…
“Uh…err…yeah…it is” I muttered.
“Why didn’t you tell me?!” Jake asked, his tone was light but it sounded excited.
“I wanted it to be a surprise…but I guess surprises are impossible when Aunt Alice is around.” I rolled my eyes.
“Alice, how did you know?” Esme asked.
“Well…” Aunt Alice mouthed, putting one finger on her chin thoughtfully. “I saw us bending over someone in Carlisle’s room, and it can only be Renesmee. I saw us cooing two things. So I though of what it may be…and I was right!” Aunt smiled triumphantly when she looked at me. “It’s twins Ness! Congratulations!” Aunt Alice chimed.
“What!?” dad suddenly gasped.
“Calm down Edward. Don’t throw a fit please. So what if you’re a grandfather?” Aunt Alice said.
“It may kill her, Alice!” he countered.
“I see us being happy all the time Edward. And I don’t see us crying in front a coffin.” Aunt Alice said, sarcastically.
“She will! I just knew! What ever happened to Bella will happen to my daughter or worse, you said it yourself, Renesmee is bearing two children!” Dad yelled at Aunt Alice. Uncle Jasper was in an instant beside Aunt Alice, hugging her tight and hissing at dad.
“Edward, don’t dare yell at my wife again” Uncle Jasper warned.
Dad just hissed.
“Bella! Sweetheart, are okay?” Grandma exclaimed.
“What’s wrong?” dad asked when he dashed beside mom. Mom was staring at me, mouth hanging, eyes shocked.
“Mom? Are you well?” I asked.
Mom suddenly stood gracefully and was gone, I blinked once and she was in front of me, hugging me. “Renesmee. Are you feeling well? How did you know you were pregnant?” mom asked me in a whisper.
“I’m fine mom. And do you remember when you told me that you once had dreams about a baby boy, whose eyes were like dads?” I asked her.
She just nodded stiffly.
“Well, I had some dream too. I had two babies in my arms, a boy and a girl. The girl had he same eyes as me, and my baby boy was like Jacob. They were magnificent to look at mom.” I said, adoration was clear in my voice.
“Renesmee, it could hurt” dad said.
“It?” I gasped. “Dad…you just called my babies it?”
“You know Nessie, your dad once called you it too.” mom told me, brushing my hair.
“What!?” I cried.
“Don’t change the subject Bella!” dad said sternly.
Mom then faced dad, anger was on her face. “Edward Cullen! Don’t you dare do what you planned to do with me when I was carrying my daughter! If this is what Renesmee wants, let her.”
“And if she dies?” dad asked, his voice broke.
“She won’t die honey. She won’t get hurt. Alice said herself.”
“I’m sure of my word Edward.” Aunt Alice said, voice flat.
He exhaled roughly. “Alright. But if something happens we need to take the child out.”
“Children” I corrected.
“So what are their names Nessie?” Aunt Rose asked.
“Uh…” I wanted to answer but everyone was cutting me off.
And I could remember very well each of their suggestions and whatever they said.
Mom: Name them after Renee and Charlie!
Dad: I’m not really good with names.
Alice: Elizabeth and Taylor!
Jasper: Reese and Chase
Emmett: Em-chick and Em-man! (Aunt Rose smacked him really hard on his forearm)
Rosalie: Choose whatever you want
Carlisle: Carline and Ren
Esme: Renesmee Jr. and Jacob Jr.
Mom and Jake were nearest to me; I touched both of their faces and showed an image of me needing their help.
They both nodded for they understood.
“Everyone please calm down! Shouldn’t Nessie pick?” mom yelled.
“Of course, sorry dear” Grandma Esme said.
I just nodded. I wanted to share my babies’ names after all.
“Well, I already mixed up a pair of names for my little nudgers. For my boy, I will be calling him: Caleb Dre Black. And my darling daughter will be E-lec-sya Rose Black, but it would be spelled as: E-L-I-X-I-A.”
They all just looked at me. I can’t understand any of their emotions at all. “PERFECT!” they all yelled in unison.
At least the names did well. I thought.
CHAPTER 23
My life as a pregnant half-human, half-vampire was quite normal for a daily basis. I wake up, exercise my legs, sit, drink and/or eat, and goof off.
Since my stomach wasn’t growing….yet. Mom, dad, Aunt Alice and I just go to school as if nothing was happening. Though, I keep excusing myself during class because I need to puke and have some fresh air.
Time went by and I really need to skip class, no, I really need to skip school. My abdomen was growing quite fast now. It’s already been a month since I found out I was pregnant. And my stomach looked as if it was already three months.
Good thing I excused my self early at school. I told the school and staff that my mother, who is actually my grandmother Esme, was called by a relative and was badly needed, and little oh me was the favorite, and was needed to come to Canada for support there. Of course these were all lies.
Jake and I would just sit in my dad’s old room and I would absentmindedly stroke my stomach.
“Ouch!” I yelled, as my right rib felt as if it was to fall from my body inside-out. Almost every part of my right side was breaking, just two days ago, my right pelvis cracked, my right upper rib broke just last night and my right hip bone was taped up because of a severe crack last week.
“Nessie? Are you okay?” Jake asked anxiously.
“Fine” I said between gasps. But of course Jake knew I was lying, my hand was shaking as I was holding my right side. He hastily called, well more like yelled for Carlisle.
“What’s wrong?” Carlisle said when he arrived at the door, his hospital bag in hand. Grandma Esme, Aunt Rose and Uncle Emmett followed.
“Another rib I think” Jake answered.
“Nessie, are you okay dear?” Grandma asked me while stroking my hair, I just nodded. I couldn’t answer, ‘cause if I did open my mouth I’m afraid a yes wouldn’t come out at all. Rather an ear-piercing scream will.
“Let me take care of it” Grandpa said. He made me lay on the bed, that’s when he begun, his hands worked up at me with in seconds.
“I think you need some rest Nessie” Grandpa Carlisle suggested. “And eat some food too”
I nodded. “I think I’ll want an O negative” I teased, but my voice sounded as if it was gasping. But grandpa and the others just chuckled.
“Let me get it for you sweetheart” Aunt Rose suggested. She turned towards Emmett and handed Henry toward him. “Take good care of your son. And don’t you dare let go of him like last time” her tone was a threat.
But what Aunt Rose meant was that Uncle Emmett dropped poor little Henry twice already. Good thing Henry was tough. And vampire kids don’t cry at all, and Henry was three, literally.
“Do you want eggs?” Jake asked.
“Yes please!” I chimed.
Jake stood up and yelled, “Hey blonde…ops…Rose! Nessie wants some eggs too!”
I could hear Aunt Rose groan from down stairs. Jake just laughed. I have been having a craving for human food lately and not only that, blood too, but not of an animal, but of a human. Mom and everyone else said it was normal, mom used to drink a lot of it too when she conceived me, and the bone-cracking part as well.
So I guess, this is what you call pregnancy, the hybrid vampire way anyway at least.
"Here Nessie." Aunt Rose said handing me the blood and eggs.
I sat uto eat them. I practically devoured them. Then I handed them dishes back to Rosalie and layed back down. I turned on the TV and quickly fell asleep.
