(Outfits for Anna is for after the hunt but first it's the same as previous chapter)

Chapter Thirty-Six, Waking up

Jasper's P.O.V:

It has been two days since Anna gave birth to Elika and Flynn and already they look a month old, I just hope they don't grow too much before she wakes up. We had already let everyone know that Anna has given birth and was now in transition, and the house has been rather busy with everyone coming to meet the twins. Not that any of us minded as Charlie came quite regularly to see Willow and now the twins, but it felt like a piece of me was missing with Anna not able to be here.

I wasn't the only one who was missing Anna greatly, our children were too. Willow was constantly asking for Anna and had even got into hysterics yesterday because she wanted her mother, so she had to be placed on Anna to calm her down and she finally fell asleep. Exhausted from all her crying and tantrums, not that it was her fault. She didn't understand. Elika and Flynn were missing Anna as well, although she only held them for ten minutes each, if that. They were often crying for her like their big sister. We also discovered they had powers a few hours after they were born, Flynn had given us such a fright when he disappeared from Emmett's arms, sending us all into a frantic search, until Carlisle came downstairs with him.

He had teleported into Carlisle's office, to his mother. Elika had photokinesis and would often use the light around her and whoever happened to be holding her, to make her (or them) move faster, and often in the direction of Anna or either Willow and Flynn. All three of my beautiful children were very close and would giggle with each other for hours, Willow was a very sweet and loving big sister and would often try and play with her siblings. We all made sure to capture every little thing they did together on our phones so Anna didn't miss a single thing.
"How is she Carlisle?" Dean asked, pulling my attention away from feeding Willow her breakfast briefly.

"Her heart is slower. I have a feeling she will wake up today." Carlisle explained.
"Dada." Willow shouted, gaining my attention again.
"Sorry lil' lady." I apologised kissing her forehead and spoon fed her the porridge again.
"Today?" Alice asked confused, looking up from feeding Elika her bottle of formula, Esme was feeding Flynn his bottle of formula. "I didn't see that. The transition takes three days not two."
"Well, Anna's never really stayed in the normal range has she." Emmett stated.
"What do you mean?" Esme asked.

"Surely, you've noticed it?" Emmett asked. "She's stronger than she should be, she could feel Jasper's sadness when she was in labour, and she roundhouse kicked Jasper and sent him flying into the trees during the training." He reminded us all, as a proud smile came onto my face at the memory.
"She must be a Mirror." Rosalie surmised a proud, happy smile on her face.
"No," I said shaking my head, but as I went to continue I was interrupted by Dean.
"What do you mean no, Jazz? The signs are there and you just had a proud grin on your face not two seconds ago." Dean exclaimed angry and frustrated that I would deny something about my wife. Which only made the Major rage at the thought of them thinking I wasn't proud of my wife, our wife. The Major remind me.

"You didn't let me finish." I said sending a quick glare his way. "I think Anna is an Elemental Mirror. After I came back from the quick hunt the day she gave birth, her hair had turned the blood red colour it is now, it wouldn't have turned a deeper shade of red, in that short of a time span. If she wasn't an elemental mirror. I was only gone for twenty minutes." I explained.
"I think your right Jasper." Carlisle said after a few minutes a thoughtful look on his face. "We best hope Aro never finds out, we know how he is with Alice and Dean." He said gravelly.
"I think he suspects." Alice said hesitantly. "Remember when I told you he was almost excited for Anna to turn, more so then normal."

"If that's true..." Esme said fearfully looking over at Carlisle. "We have to protect her Carlisle."
"And we will my love." Carlisle said kissing Esme's forehead. "We made that vow when Alice had that vision before she came to Forks and we will stick to it, always." He said firmly.
"He is not getting my wife! She's staying with me, with our children!" I growled, making Willow and the twins stop drinking their milk.
"It's okay my darlings." I said calming down and kissing Willow's head and getting up to do the same with Elika and Flynn.
"Dada. Mama?" Willow questioned. Smiling sadly I picked her up and cuddled with her only for the twins to want me too. So I sat on the loveseat with Willow on my lap while Esme and Alice brought over the twins.

It took a moment to get situated but I was soon laying on the loveseat with Willow against the back of it laying on my chest and the twins on my chest.
"Mama will be up soon my loves." I assured kissing all three of them and successfully calming them down. All three of them looked very cute in their outfits, Willow was wearing white tights, a floral bodysuit top and yellow dungaree shorts. Elika was wearing navy blue tights, a white dress that said, 'Daddy's little Princess' and it also had navy blue bows and trim. Whereas, Flynn was wearing a navy blue bodysuit and grey trousers, on the body suit it said, 'Mama's little Prince'.
"Jazz your going to get your white jumper and light blue jeans dirty." Alice complained but I just shrugged my shoulders. I have three babies, I don't really care if clothes get dirty.

Two hours later, Embry, Seth and Leah arrived after their patrol, they were eager to have Anna back like the rest of us. Willow, Flynn and Elika were asleep in the playpen together, none of them had wanted to be separated from each other and that was the safest place for them. Half an hour after they had fallen asleep Anna's hummingbird like heart beat stopped upstairs. I dropped my book that I had barely been reading as soon as I heard it stop.
"Go Jazz. We'll look after my beautiful nieces and handsome nephew if they wake up." Emmett said seriously. Thanking him, I darted upstairs entering my old room in a matter of seconds. Even though I spent as much time as I could with Anna, when our children were asleep. I noticed that Anna looked even more beautiful then before and she was already gorgeous when she was human.

Her pale skin was now a more alabaster colour, which made her blood red curls stand out more. Her lips were likely to be a dark dust rose colour they'd always been under her red lipstick that Alice had touched up once again, her hair was still the same length (down to her waist) but the curls were more pronounced. She still had the same hourglass figure she'd always had, but her hips were slightly wider, and her breasts were more fuller than the 32DD they were before. Most likely from carrying our three beautiful children, and she was still 5"4. All in all my wife was stunning, absolutely stunning and I loved her so much and couldn't wait to have her back. I didn't have to wait long.

After the few seconds it took to look over my wife, her eyes snapped open showing the bright red orbs.
"Anna? Darlin'?" I asked tentatively, as I knew newborns could be spooked easily after first awakening with all their heightened senses, but I made sure to stand in front of the door. Anna's eyes took the room in rapidly, darting around as she got used to her heightened sight. Until her eyes fixed onto me and a large happy smile spread onto her face as she recognised me, making the Major purr in the back of my mind.
"Jasper!" Anna exclaimed excitedly as she flit over to me and jumped into my arms kissing me passionately. Luckily I was ready for her and with the training I had endured, meant I could handle Anna jumping on me, and I was more than ready to kiss my wife after two days apart.

When we pulled apart we just stood there with our heads resting against each other, soaking up the feeling of being together again.
"I missed you Jasper. How long have I been out? How're Willow, Flynn and Elika?" Anna asked rapidly, her arms tight around my neck but not tight like a newborn normally would be. Making me frown thoughtfully which unfortunately, gave Anna the wrong impression as she started to panic.
"No baby they're fine, I promise." I assured kissing her lips softly. "I was just thinking that you weren't holding me tight enough to hurt like a newborn."
"Well I didn't want to hurt you when I jumped into your arms or hug you so I was careful." Anna explained. "I want to see them."

"That is amazing darling. That you can already control your strength after just waking up, I'm so proud of you." I said proudly, a wide smile on my lips. "I know sweetheart and you can, they miss you so much, but you have to hunt first." I told her apologetically. I could feel how much she missed me and our children, even if there was no hunger directed towards them I knew neither of us will take that chance. Anna sighed but nodded her head agreeing. Taking her hand and intertwining our fingers we went out onto the balcony, I picked Anna up in my arms. Which made her giggle and jumped down into the garden below, as easily as walking. As we walked into the forest I told her all about how well our children got along and how attached they were too each other.

I explained how we captured everything on film so she didn't miss a thing, I explained the twins powers and even how upset all three were that she wasn't around and would only calm down when they were with her.
"Are they okay? Is Willow?" Anna asked worriedly, looking at me with wide red eyes. I do miss her beautiful brown eyes.
"They're fine darling." I said pulling her into my arms and kissing her temple. "They just wanted their mother, like I wanted my wife." I said kissing her lips softly. My theory of Anna being an Elemental Mirror proved to be correct as after I explained to her how to hunt, and she had gotten hold of the scent of a a herd of deer she teleported us in that direction. Proving she had our son's gift.

She was also a natural at hunting and was able to take down the stag with no problem getting no blood on her and nor did she rip her dress, I absolutely loved this woman. But what shocked and further proved my point, was after we had both finished hunting. She conjured up a flame in her hands burning the carcasses to nothing, without letting it get out of control and her hair seemed to be like literal flames. I didn't think it was possible to love her more but she continued to surprise me and I always loved that about her. Especially how strong she is with everything that she's been through. I suddenly caught sent of a human rock climbing and scraping his knee, before I could get Anna to move she took off in the direction of the rock climber and I darted after her calling her name, trying to snap her out of it. Knowing she would feel the pain and anguish from the rock climber and I didn't want her to go through that.

As soon as I reached her, she shocked me once again. She snapped herself out of the hunt, helped the man up before he could fall to his death and then used Elika's power to get away as fast as she possibly could. I took off after her once more feeling incredibly proud of my wife as we arrived back where we had been moments before, and took down some more deers and a mountain lion each before we felt fully satisfied.
"Baby, I am so incredibly proud of you. I cannot describe how proud I am of you. If my guess is correct I bet you can feel it, but I'm sorry darlin' I should have paid more attention to our surroundings so you weren't in that position." I apologised as I wrapped her in my arms.

Both of us staid quiet for a moment as we just took in each other's scent and enjoyed being in each other's arms. Anna smelt just like she always has, honey and pine needles but it was stronger now.
"Hmm cinnamon." Anna murmured as she buried her head into my neck breathing in my scent, making me laugh and press a kiss to the top of her head. "You feel proud of me. But there's also love, adoration and lust." Anna stated as she looked up at me, her eyes sightly darker than before as we kissed each other passionately. "Will I be able to be around our babies?" Anna asked sadly, when we pulled apart ten minutes later. Her eyes filling with unshed tears as fear and anxiety came off of her in waves.

"I don't see why not sweetheart. You were able to stop yourself from hurting that man mid hunt, no other newborn I know has ever been able to do that, not even me. I also don't think you will have a problem with their scent as they will most likely smell like family, like they do to me." I explained. "Come on, I will be right besides you all the time and will read your emotions to make sure. If it makes you feel better, and Alice would have seen if something was going to happen and she hasn't. You're going to be fine Anna." I tried to reassure her. Anna nodded and pecked my cheek as she took in a deep breath of air and relaxed her tense shoulders.
"Thank you Jazz." Anna said softly. "I want to change first just in case there's any blood on the dress."

As we walked back towards the house we talked about going on that family holiday with all of our children soon, talked about going on a date night as we haven't been for a while and about our three beautiful children. Once we reached the garden Seth, Leah and Embry came out of the house with large smiles on their faces.
"Lyssa." Seth shouted running towards us with a large grin on his face, but Anna stepped back away from them. Fear and anxiety were coming off her in waves once again but there was no hunger whatsoever.

"Anna, have more faith in yourself you're not going to hurt them and nor are you going to hurt our children. You don't even feel hungry." I explained softly.
"Take a whiff." Embry said gesturing to him, Seth and Leah who all had reassuring smiles on their faces. "It's safer if we test this before you meet your kids."
Nodding Anna stepped back besides me, taking my hand once more as she took a whiff of all three of her friends and wrinkled her noses cutely.

I paid close attention to her emotions and not once did they waver into hunger, all that happened was the fear and anxiety lessened and slight disgust appeared.
"You smell like wet dogs." Anna said, making us all laugh. Emmett's loud booming laughter coming from inside.
"How did you feel?" Leah asked.
"Fine, I didn't get the burn in my throat. I missed you while I was in transition and I really want to see my babies. Oh, before I forget." Anna exclaimed. "I accept you and Seth as Elika's and Flynn's mates, Leah. You're my best friends and I know when they are older and if you all feel the same, you will treat them right." A wide smile came on both Seth and Leah's faces as they pulled Anna into a hug and hugged her tightly.

She tensed for a second, having not expected it before she relaxed and wrapped her arms around them giggling. Her beautiful laughter, now even more beautiful. She held her arm out for Embry and he joined in too as the three wolves murmured their own words of comfort and reassurance as they had missed her too. When she let go she looked at me expectantly making me laugh. I took her hand and kissed her knuckles.
"Can I go change now, so I can actually go see my babies again?" Anna asked impatiently.
"Come on then love." I said as I swooped her up into my arms and jumped back onto the balcony.

As soon as my feet touched the balcony, Anna jumped out of my arms and ran into the bedroom changing into the white dress and black lace up heels Alice had set aside for her. While, I changed into blue ripped jeans, a cream jumper and brown loafers and put the dirty clothes into the washing basket and put the shoes away. Once we were done we went downstairs hand in hand, every so often I gave her hand a reassuring squeeze.
"Welcome back Anna." Emmett said as he picked up and span her around making her laugh.
"Thanks man-bear." Anna laughed which just made us all laugh at Emmett's nickname.
"My turn." Dean sand taking my wife out of Emmett's arms and giving her hug.

"Anna is an Elemental Mirror." I announced as Anna now gave Rosie and Bree a hug after hugging Alice, Carlisle and Esme, making everyone freeze. "She can use Elika and Flynn's powers as well as my own and she conjured fire to burn the carcasses, her hair literally becomes flames while she did it. While we were hunting she caught sent of a rock climber who had fallen and cut his leg, she took off after him but stopped herself from draining him and instead helped him up before he fell to his death. She then used Elika's power to get far away from him." I explained.
"Did you get a vision?" Alice asked almost like she knew the answer. Anna nodded her head.
"I knew it. I had a weird vision of you having that vision and doing what Jasper just said. Now come meet your children." Alice said pulling Anna into the living room.

Where Willow was awake and playing with Embry but stopped as soon as she saw Anna.
"Mama! Mama! Mama!" Willow shouted as she got up and toddled over to Anna as fast as she possibly could, making my heart break for my eldest daughter.
"Oh my baby. Mama has missed you so much and I love you so much Willow." Anna said as she crouched down and held her arms open for Willow who wrapped her own little arms around Anna's neck tightly. Anna stood up putting Willow on her hip, and kissed all over Willow's face until her giggles filled the living room making me smile. The rest of the family relaxed as they saw Anna was completely fine as she ran her fingers through Willow's hair kissing her every so often. As Willow rested her head on Anna's chest and soon fell asleep.

"Sit on the sofa Anna next to Jasper then we can pass you Elika and Flynn." Esme said as our two youngest children had just woken up and had spotted Anna and were whining for her. Anna smiled softly but sadly as she looked from Willow, to Elika and to Flynn. I knew she felt sad she had missed out on two days especially as Flynn and Elika looked like they were a month old. Sitting on the sofa next to my wife I took Willow (who whined in her sleep), and laid her across both our laps. Keeping one hand on her so she didn't roll off and the other around Anna's shoulders, as Rosie and Bree passed Flynn and Elika to Anna. Settling one in each of her arms carefully. Once they were in Anna's arms they stopped crying and smiled happily up at her as she smiled back at them emotionally.

"Hi babies. Mama loves you both so much." Anna said as she kissed all over both of their faces making them gurgle happily. Smiling I kissed her temple lovingly, feeling complete now that I had my wife back with me again along with all my children. Elika and Flynn's eyes started to droop as Anna sang, All is Found. It seems it works on the twins much like it does for Willow.
"Go to sleep my darlings Mama will be here when you wake up." Anna said softly kissing their heads. Knowing she wanted to kiss Willow I carefully picked her up so Anna and I could kiss her before laying her back down so she could sleep and I could kiss the twins.
"How about we watch the videos we made. Dean and I set it all up onto one disc." Emmett suggested.

"I'd like that. Thank you Em, thank you Dean." Anna said gratefully as she snuggled close to me being mindful of our three children on her lap or in her arms as we watched all of the videos for the rest of the afternoon.
