CH. 32 (Elle)

Emmett and I had transferred to the little room that I now know is a nursery.

We sat in each others arms and just held our sleeping babies.

I heard the rest of our family walk back into the house but I didn't pay them any mind. Until Esme popped her head in the nursery with a smile.

"Hello Elle honey, Emmett dear don't you want to give your wife your gift?" She said cheerfully.

Careful of the babies I sat up a little straighter and grinned like a child on Christmas morning.

He chuckled and the babies began to stir.

Esme walked over to us and put the babies back into their little bassinets.

I stood and Emmett followed suit.

"Come on Babe," he said holding out his hand to me.

We walked out the back door and casually over the big lake and into the woods.

We seemed to be going to our magical spot in the woods.

When we got there I stopped dead in my tracks, there was our pond.

All of the decorations had been taken down and a spacious two story house was put up.

The pond was now bordered with large rocks an shrubbery, giving it a manicured and polished look. A paved driveway led up to the home.

The entry way was an archway of just glass.

As lavish as this house looked, it really seemed to belong here. It just fit so perfectly.

"Emmett it's stunning." I said "did you build this?"

I asked in awe.

He nodded with a small smile.

"Well Esme took both of our tastes into consideration and she sketched out what she thought our house should look like, and I just followed the blueprints and layouts." He said as if it was nothing.

"I can't believe my husband built me a house." I said.

He chuckled deeply, "for you Babe, I would build a castle if it's what you wanted." He said pulling me against him and kissing me.

He picked me up bridal style and carried me over and into the house.

He walked over the thresh hold an then set me down in the center of the foyer.

"Welcome to our home." He said with his huge smile.

"Kate, Alice, and Esme all decorated and furnished the place. Jasper and I wired the house with every electronic device known to man, and Edward installed the most state of the art Surveillance system, even though its pointless since we're a family of vampires." Emmett informed me.

We walked through out the entire house. There is 6bedrooms and 4bathrooms, Emmett's "man cave", the sitting room, dining room, kitchen, basement/theater room, and an office/library.

There was also a four car garage, our vehicles were already parked in there.

The babies all had their own rooms as well.

Alice had them fully stocked with clothes and toys, Kate and Esme had decorated them to perfection.

Finally Emmett lead the way to our master bedroom.

The room was massive, twice the size of his current bedroom.

Then Emmett and I took advantage of our brand new California king sized bed.

A couple of hours later, we had no choice but to find out where The closet was and put on clothes that wasn't mangled from being ripped off.

I found some sexy lingerie and put it on, then I grabbed a cute dress and some adorable pumps.

"Well we're going to need a new bed." I said as I exited the closet fully dressed once more.

Emmett laughed deeply then ushered me out of the house.

Emmett and I happily made our way back to the main house.

As we walked back, I noticed that my old house was being reconstructed.

"I'm guessing Kate and Garrett took me up on my offer." I said excited.

Before the wedding I had offered to give Kate and Garrett my old house and land, and they could do what they wanted with it.

I remembered Kate telling me about her lack of privacy a long time ago.

"Yes, they can't move out fast enough. Especially since Tanya thinks she may have finally found her soulmate." Emmett informed me.

My eyes widened.

"Wow, good for her!" I said honestly happy for her.

"Yeah she met him at our wedding." He said with a knowing smile.

"What aren't you telling me?" I asked curiously while trying to remember all of our guests in attendance.

"Well apparently while we snuck off for a little alone time away from the wedding reception that was the first time Cole and Tanya met."

"What?!" I asked excited and shocked.

I thought back, and I couldn't think of a time when they would have met, one was always somewhere else when the other was visiting the Cullens.

"That's great!"

"Well we think so, but their relationship won't be easy." He said sadly.

I knew he was talking about the prejudices that follow Lycans and the taboo subject of an inter-species relationship.

"Well, I love it. They're both great people and they deserve happiness so I hope it works out for them"

We finally reached the main house and we walked in on Carlisle measuring Killian.

Edward held Killian in his arms while Carlisle measure length, width, and circumference.

I had been told all of this would happen, but it was still a shock to see. It also reminded me that my babies wouldn't be babies for very long.

When Carlisle finished Edward handed me my son and It was now Jasper who was carrying a son and having the baby measured.

I focused my eyes and held a smirk on my face.

"Really guys?" I asked "your favoring the children with your names."

Everyone chuckled.

"Well I love my grandchildren all the same. My heart is now divided into four equal parts." Esme said lovingly.

Her words made me realize something.

"Where are Nessie and Jake?"

Edward and Bella looked at each other then Edward spoke.

"Renesme's at our house, she's been feeling a little jealous of the babies and in turn has been throwing temper tantrums. Even though she's technically 2 years old, her mental capability is much higher from the accelerated growth. Meaning she should know better and is in time out."

I was shocked.

This was coming from the guy who gave his daughter anything and everything she asked for.

"It was my idea." Bella put in as if she had heard my thoughts. "I don't want her to be bratty, I love her but spoiling her and giving into her childish antics won't help her later on in life."

I nodded my head in agreement, although I still felt bad for my new niece.

Once all three of my children had been properly examined they were then allowed to play.

My babies looked like they were close to six months already and I smiled as I watched them crawl all over the place.

I looked on lovingly as my husband laid on the floor and played with our babies.

Katrina then laughed as she climbed over Daddy and the sound prompted the boys to start laughing.

Her laugh was infectious, and the trio of harmonized laughter sounded heavenly.

Alice had a video camera and recorded the whole little session.

Alice wanted to also make a scrap book as she had done for Renesme when she was younger.

Kate helped her dress the babies up in all sorts of different outfits and snap countless pictures.

"We have to cram months of photos into one session because they grow too fast, if we wait until tomorrow they will have grown and look slightly different." Alice explained.

I felt that stab of sadness once again.

Although I know my children will grow and then live forever along side their father and I, it hurts knowing that literally in a day so much has changed about them.

I wanted to spend every second holding them and kissing them and never letting go.

But I knew I had to share them, it would be selfish to keep them to myself.

And even if i did it still wouldn't slow their rapid growth.

I sighed and Emmett came over to me.

I looked up at him sadly and then back at our children.

He seemed to understand my turmoil, because he put me on his lap and whispered into my ear.

"There isn't anything we can do Babe, they are healthy and happy and that's all we can ask for. We just have to accept the rest." Then he kissed my temple.

I saw Edward looking at us sadly and nodding his head to Emmett's words.

He understood our pain, as did Bella.

Kellan crawled over to Emmett and I, I picked him up and held him to me.

"I love you Kellan" I said lovingly.

"I love you too Momma."

I stared awestruck at my baby.

I looked around the room but no one seemed to have noticed, other than Edward.

He stared wide eyed at Kellan.

He walked slowly over to us, grabbing attention on his way. He knelt down next to us. "Can he do it again."

I shrugged my shoulders and asked Kellan "How do you know I'm your Momma?"

He laughed his magical little laugh "because I remember your voice from before silly Momma."

I gasped and then smiled back down at my son. I held him up and kissed his check. "Of course, silly me."

Everyone was looking at us now.

"He's a telepath." Edward explained. "He can communicate with you using his mind."

Edward asked for Kellan and I willingly handed him off.

Edward began silently communicating with my son.

Just then Esme walked back into the room carrying a silver bottle.

"Who's hungry?" She asked warmly.

The babies all clapped and squealed but it was Katrina who acted.

One Minute she was on the floor next to Jasper and within the blink of an eye she was suddenly in Esme's arms reaching out greedily for the bottle.

There was a collective gasp.

"Well I guess the babies have developed gifts." Carlisle said.

"I'll say." Esme countered.

"It seems baby Katrina can teleport." Carlisle said walking over to take Katrina and the bottle from Esme.

He fed her as he also examined her, making mental notes to jot down later.

"I wonder if Killian will have a gift as well." Garrett voiced curiously.

We all silently wondered the same thing.

A couple of weeks went by and still Killian showed no sign of having a gift.

The babies had all grown significantly and are even walking and beginning to talk like little adults.

I felt bad that one of my children felt left out and different from his siblings.

Edward told us Killian's thoughts and worries one night while they were all asleep.Emmett and I worried for our son but there isn't anything we could do, but wait and hope his gift comes later.

And eventually it did.

After the kids came and I was doing good with my blood lust I of course had to go back to school with the aid of blue contacts. The blue and gold made an odd mix of green, but seeing as I mainly spent time with the Cullens no one noticed. One day while all of us were at school we were all called to the office.

"Kids, your Mother called and said your dog was injured. She said to come home immediately."

We were all Panicked.

We didn't have a dog! But knew she was referring to Jacob.

I was scared that what ever hurt Jacob might hurt the kids.

We raced home leaving our cars there.

When we got there Carlisle was up in the medical room with Jacob.

Esme sat us down and then called Killian into the room.

We all watched as Killian's tiny body stood in front of us.

He had done something because he wasn't looking at anyone, instead he stared down at the floor.

"Tell them what happened" Esme said sternly.

Killian sighed heavily and then began. "Grandma and Jake took us all outside to play. Jake kept calling me runt and I didn't like it so I asked him to stop. I told him name calling wasn't nice and he still didn't stop. Finally I got super duper mad and I hit him in the leg." Killian said still looking down.

"But I didn't bite him momma," he said now looking up at me. We had all stressed heavily the importance of not biting anyone or anything. But my Killian was my Momma's boy and never wanted to disappoint me.

"That's good son, but hitting is bad too, and I will get after Jacob for name calling as well." I said.

Just then Carlisle walked into the room.

"It seems our sweet little Killian has inherited Daddy's strength, maybe even stronger as Jacob is now suffering from a broken knee and a partially torn hamstring. All can and will be repaired of course, but he is in a lot of pain right now nor can he walk." Carlisle informed us.

Emmett roared with laughter "my son took down that mutt!" He yelled enthusiastically as the rest of us tried to comprehend what had just been told to us.

"Emmett McCarty you put our son down this instant." I said as Emmett had gladly picked up Killian and began swinging him around. And Emmett did just that as his smile fell from his face.

"Now, Killian Edward, you march right up there and apologize for hurting Jacob we do not condone violence unless someone is physically hurting our family." I said.

"Yes Momma."

Esme scolded Emmett like I had just scolded Killian.

Renesme and Bella also went upstairs to check on Jacob.

Later that night when Emmett and I brought our kids home and they fell asleep, I allowed myself the time to relish in the fact that our little Killian had finally gotten his gift.

Super strength, just like Daddy
