Chapter Twenty-Nine, Hiding and The Battle

Groaning as my alarm went off at six in the morning. I really didn't want to get up, but Alice has predicted the battle would start around eight, so Willow and I needed to be on the Rez way before then.
"Come on darlin'." Jasper laughed kissing my neck successfully waking me up.
"Okay, I'm up." I laughed turning to face him kissing his lips. "Good morning Jasper, did you hunt enough last night?"
"Morning my love. I did, don't worry. I love you." Jasper replied kissing my lips.

"I love you too. We should let Willow sleep." I decided, Jasper agreeing with me as we would have breakfast at the Rez. After one last kiss and cuddle Jasper and I got up and out of bed quickly getting dressed. After doing my morning routine, I quickly got dressed in black, underwear, black ripped jeans with black socks and ankle boots, a yellow crop top and my black leather jacket. While I was throwing my hair up into a high ponytail I saw Jasper was dressed and sat on the bed with Willow in his arms who was also fully dressed. I knew he was getting as much time with her as he could.

Jasper was in black trousers, a bluish-grey top, black zip-up jumper and black trainers. Willow was in blue distressed jeans, a floral top, white socks, her 'Princess Willow' trainers and a dark pink cardigan.
"Are you alright darlin'?" Jasper asked wrapping one arm around me holding me close when I sat next to him. "I didn't hurt you, did I?" Jasper asked concerned.
"No Jasper." I assured resting my head on his shoulder so I was closer to him and our daughter, who was fast asleep in his arms.
"Good." Jasper said kissing my head and just holding us close.

We had descended into a comfortable silence despite what was going to be happening soon.
"Please be careful Jasper, I can't lose you, we can't lose you or any of you." I begged feeling tears build up making my vision go blurry.
"I promise sweetheart," Jasper said wiping away a tear. "That we will all come back to you and this will all be over." Jasper said kissing me tenderly and lovingly. Just then the we heard Jake's car pull up and went downstairs to let Jake and Embry in.
"Hey guys." I said smiling tightly as they grabbed Willow's things. Jasper and Sam thought it would be better if Jake and Embry load the buggy, car seat and changing bag into the car so Jasper's scent wasn't on anything so they couldn't track us.

"Hey Anna, hey Jasper." Jake and Embry greeted as they gave me a tight hug.
"We should get going." Jake said.
"Promise me you and Willow will be okay. Stay on the Rez at all times. Promise me Anna."
Jasper asked desperately, looking deep into my eyes as his forehead rested on mine with Willow between us.
"I promise Jasper." I said my voice breaking and tears building in my eyes again. "We won't leave Seth's side. Please be careful Jasper." I asked again.
"I promise my love." Jasper said kissing me passionately.

Once we pulled apart I hugged Jake and Embry asking them the same even though they would be taking me to the Rez, I wanted them to know how much they mean to me.
"We promise Anna. But we'll be fine." Jake said, Embry nodding in agreement.
"I love you." I said kissing Jasper one more time.
"I love you too." Jasper said tears in his eyes, kissing me back. Once we pulled back he kissed Willow's head, nose, cheeks and lips. "I love you too lil' lady. Be good for Mama and I'll see you soon." Jasper said softly, before handing her to Embry.

Sharing one last kiss and hug before I let Jake pick me up carrying me to his car. Looking out of the window my eyes locked onto Jasper's as we pulled out of the driveway before Jasper disappeared into the forest.

***

Once we parked outside the Clearwater's Leah and Seth came rushing out grabbing the buggy and the changing bag out of the car, Embry got Willow and Jake carried me into the house.
"Anna." Seth and Leah cried pulling me into a hug as soon as Jake set me down once we'd entered the house.
"Hey Seth, hey Leah." I smiled hugging them tightly.
"Mum made us some breakfast." Seth said pointing to the kitchen where jugs of orange juice, plates of pancakes and bowls of fruit lay on the table.
"Everything's going to be fine Anna." Embry said bringing me into a tight hug after he'd laid Willow down in the travel cot.

"I know. I'm just scared for all of you." I said tearfully. Instead of answering they all pulled me into a group hug.
"Don't cry Anna. We're all going to be fine." Leah said squeezing me tightly. At that moment Willow woke up crying for her breakfast.
"Let's get you some breakfast baby." I said picking her up kissing all over her face.
"We have to head over to Sam's now, to head to the battle. We'll see you later." Jake said bringing Willow and I into a hug followed by Embry and Leah.

"Please be safe." I asked.
"We will. Seth you need to hurry up and eat and get in wolf form." Leah told her brother sternly as they left. As soon as they left we all sat down to have some breakfast, hoping everyone would come back alive and unharmed.

Jasper's P.O.V:

Standing in the clearing with my family around me, I knew the army would be here in any minute and none would leave here alive. I would make sure of that.
'Let me take charge.' Major suggested.
'Go on then.' I agreed smirking as I know the hell he would bring. As we stood waiting for the army to arrive, and by the sounds of it we wouldn't have to wait long, I felt and let Major take complete control.

Major's P.O.V:

"Bella's mine!" Rosalie growled.
"Well, Victoria is mine!" Emmett growled.
"You can have them as long as you leave Jackson to me." I ordered. Just then we heard running through the trees and we all got ready. Looking behind us briefly I spotted the wolves in position in the trees and behind the large bolder behind us, every single one of them ready to pounce. As the first newborns broke through the trees we raced towards them each of us concentrating on our own newborn so as not to be surprised, but kept one eye on each other. Apart from Carlisle and Esme who worked together as instructed. Reaching my first newborn, I made short work of him, punching his head off, literally. Then throwing the next onto the ground popping her head off with a hard well placed squeeze.

After I dispatched my tenth one, jumping onto its back ripping its arms and head off when it went for Esme's turned back, I noticed the wolves had joined in the fray. We were lucky as it seemed Bella hadn't told them, or they hadn't believed her, either way the newborns were being taken completely by surprise by the wolves but I knew never to get overconfident in battle as that could get you killed. Seeing that everyone was doing okay I joined back in itching to get to Jackson who stood on the edge of the clearing smirking.

Twenty minutes later, I heard screaming as I dispatched another newborn getting closer to Jackson who was trying to escape Leah and Jared. But what he didn't know was he was being herded right towards me. Looking up I noticed it was Bella and Victoria who had screamed as Rosalie tore Bella's arm off and then her head and Emmett had torn off Victoria's arm before popping her head off. Seeing the intruder attempt to run past me towards Emmett in a a fit of rage. Throwing my arm out I caught him around the throat, spinning us around and pinned him to the floor standing on both of his arms.
"This is for putting my mate and daughter in danger." I growled lowly and fiercely.

Adding pressure to his arms causing them to crack and him to scream in agony, before I tore his head off. Jumping off the body and running to Jackass, flipping over Sam and landing on Jackson's back before he could escape.
"You think I'd let you live, really?" I hissed dangerously. And not giving him a moment to move or answer I slowly tore one arm off and then the other. "You should have realised from the beating you were given when you were human, that I'd never let you live." I growled. Standing on his back with all of my weight making his waist crack, I grabbed his hair and yanked his head up.
"This is for Anna." I hissed into his ear before giving his head one hard yank tearing not only his head off but his body in two from the amount of pressure I put on his back.

Looking around I saw only a few remained and were being torn apart by Dean after one had gone after Alice, some by the wolves and the others by Emmett after he saved Paul from being crushed. Finishing off the last newborn I saw one appear out of hiding and attack Leah, who was trying to throw him off. Racing towards her at the same time as Jacob. Reaching them first I tore the newborn off of her then let Leah have at him.
"Are ya alright?" I asked her gruffly when she finished. My mate would never forgive me or herself if her best friend got hurt. Leah nodded huffing which I supposed meant 'thank you' in wolf.

Throwing the two scums into the fire taking great satisfaction in them burning, where they could do no more harm to Anna or Willow. I could even feel Jasper agreeing with me.  Though I do wish I was able to take my time to draw the pain and torture out longer. But that would have been too risky with a battle raging on around me, and I did actually want to return to Anna and Willow.
"Having fun?" I asked Rosalie who seemed to be getting as much satisfaction throwing Bella's body into the fire as I had.
"That's because I am." Rosalie sassed, smirking in satisfaction as she watched the fire turn Bella to ash.
"Why is there a newborn?" I asked angrily, spotting her near Esme and Carlisle.

"She doesn't mean anyone any harm Major. She wasn't fighting but hiding when Carlisle and Esme found her. They offered her asylum in exchange for her surrender, she took it. Her names Bree Tanner and she didn't and doesn't want to hurt anyone, she's only fourteen." Rosalie explained in a rush.
"Fine." I said gruffly. "But, she can't be hear Anna or Willow until she's learned control. No matter what her wish is, it counts for nothing if she has no control." I said sternly.
"Emmett and I will teach her, I promise. You know how much I love Anna and Willow, I'd never put them in harms way." Rosalie agreed.

However, before more could be said Alice gasped announcing the Volturi were coming.
"They won't destroy her Rose." I promised seeing her worried look, she smiled gratefully at me as I turned towards the pack. "Sam, you all need to leave. The Volturi won't honour the truce. Please make sure Anna, Willow and Seth are alright." Sam nodded and howled to the others and they all took off into the woods. And not a moment too soon.
"They're coming!" Alice called worriedly as the last wolf left. Dean wrapped his arms around her as we all stood next to each other hiding Bree behind us, though I stood behind Carlisle for added protection for Bree.
"Well they timed their arrival well." Rosalie scoffed.

"Probably hoping some of us would be picked off." Dean and Emmett said at the same time scoffing before playfully glaring at each other.
"Impressive. I've here seen a coven escape an assault of this magnitude intact." Jane said looking over all of us.
"Well, not completely intact your missing a member....the mind reader, Edward." She continued staring expectantly at Carlisle.
"We got lucky." Carlisle said. "I informed Aro that Edward had been destroyed by Major months ago."

"I doubt you got that lucky." Jane sneered. "But regardless what of the human? Bella Swan, who was not a mate to the mind reader?"
"She's in there." Dean said pointing to the fire.
"She was apart of this assault?" Demetri asked.
"Yes. She was hellbent on destroying Anna and Jasper's mate-ship as they are soulmates, because of this she joined the army and is a problem no longer." Carlisle explained diplomatically.
"Well, they were stupid." Felix scoffed, a smirk stretching across his face. "Going against the Major, Ares the God of War. Even I would be hesitant." He stopped at the looks he got from Jane and Alec but I couldn't help but smirk that one of the supposed great Volturi guard members was scared and hesitant to go against me.

"It seems anyway, that we missed an entertaining fight." Alec said a sardonic grin on his face.
"Yes." Jane agreed. "It's not often we're rendered unnecessary. You missed one." She said spotting Bree behind me. I suddenly got an overwhelming sense of fear coming from her, even the waves of calm I sent as I stood in front of ready to fight, did nothing.
"We offered her asylum in exchange for her surrender." Carlisle explained hesitantly.
"That wasn't yours to offer." Jane snapped. "Why did you come?" As she went to use her powers on me to get to Bree, Felix stopped her.

"Do not start a war with him." Felix warned a restraining hand on Jane's shoulder. She seemed not deterred at first and as I was getting ready for another fight she stopped.
"Who created you?" Jane asked annoyed.
"I...I don't know. R-Riley said our thoughts weren't safe." Bree stuttered terrified.
"Her name was Victoria. She first created the army to avenge the mate Edward killed. But she didn't care who died after she found out I killed him, too hellbent on revenge to care anymore." I explained. "She turned Bella as part of her revenge as she knew we'd kill Bella."

"Felix." Jane said motioning towards Bree.
"She didn't know what she was doing." Esme snapped, causing Jane to stop Felix. "We'll take responsibility for her."
"The Volturi don't give second chances." Jane denied.
"She's under my protection so you just try." I growled feeling the anguish coming from Rosalie, Esme and Alice. Everyone was tense for a moment before Jane finally relented.
"Fine. But if she slips up we'll be back, and none of you will get a second chance." Jane threatened glaring at all of us before they took off quicker than Carlisle could finish saying 'thank you.'

"Welcome yo the family lil' lady." I greeted kindly. "I'd love to stay but I got a fiancée and a daughter waiting for me." With that I took off through the woods running towards the Rez.
'Let me back in control. Otherwise they might think we're out of control.' Jasper said.
'Fine.' I huffed releasing my control as long as I saw our mate I don't care.

Jasper's P.O.V:

Exiting the woods and walking through the Rez I was met by Sam.
"Are they alright?" I asked anxiously.
"They're fine, all three of them." Sam said relieved. "Seth's a little put out he couldn't do anything as the plan worked. But he's glad he protected them." He assured leading me to the Clearwater house. The walk to the Clearwater house was silent but it was a silent companionship and it felt like a heavy load had been lifted off of my shoulders. 

Walking up to the back of the Clearwater house I spotted Anna looking out of the window, a wide smile appearing on her face as soon as she saw me. She tore out of the house running down the hill towards me.
"Jasper!" Anna shouted her voice filled with so much emotion.
"Anna!" I shouted running towards her at human speed. As soon as she reached me she jumped into my arms, wrapping her arms and legs tightly around me as I kissed her passionately.
"Are you alright? Is Willow? Where is she?" I asked worriedly.
"We're fine Jazz, calm down. Willow is down for her nap. Are you alright? Is everyone else alright?" Anna asked worriedly checking me over.

"I'm perfect now you're back in my arms darlin.' And everyone else is fine too. You're free from danger now my love, just like I promised, and we gained a new member too. Her names Bree Tanner. She's only fourteen, she was hiding the whole battle until Esme and Carlisle found her. Emmett and Rose are taking her in as a daughter but, I won't let her near either of you until she's learned control." I said sternly. Anna just smiled and kissed me.
"I'm sure she would be fine but better safe than sorry. I'm glad Rosie and Emmett have a daughter now, they've always wanted one." Anna said happily.

"Speaking of daughter. Let's get you and Willow home." I said following Anna back inside. After thanking everyone for helping in the battle and Seth for protecting Anna and Willow, I ran home to pick up the car and drive back to the Rez to pick Anna and Willow up for some cuddles and movies.
"Jasper." Leah called before I got in the car. "Thank you for saving me. If you hadn't reached me in time that newborn would've broken my neck and killed me." Leah said gratefully.
"Leah, you don't need to thank me. I've come to see you all as friends over the last few month. We'll see you later, thank you for helping win the battle." I said sincerely.

"You don't have to thank me either. If your father hadn't been there I would have lost mine. And I couldn't bear the thought of Anna and Willow losing you. You've grown on me too." Leah said smiling shyly. Smiling back at her I bid everyone goodbye and got in the car. As soon as we got home Anna and I spent the rest of the day cuddled under a blanket watching Netflix with Willow asleep in our arms.
Later that night after Willow har gone to bed, Anna and I made love, using protection obviously. Afterwards we cuddled in each other's arms, Anna laying on my chest drawing patterns on one of my scars on my shoulder, feeling very content.

"Darlin', have you thought about giving Willow anymore siblings? A mix of the two of us?" I explained further when I felt her become confused as I ran my fingers through her hair.
"I thought that wasn't possible." Anna asked shocked. "I would love to have another girl with your blonde curls or a boy..."
"A little boy with your red curls." I interrupted smiling at her, knowing she was going to say blonde. "It's impossible for female vampires. But there are Legends, The Ticuna Legends, of Dhampires. Half human and half vampire. Depending on how much vampire gene the baby has, it can grow exceptionally fast, and has been known to kill the mother before and after the birth if they don't drink blood. Which is obvious if you think about it." I said rolling my eyes making Anna giggle.

"But there has also been cases, where the baby gets an equal balance of both genes and the pregnancy is like a normal one. If you do decide to have more darlin', I will take very precaution possible to ensure your safety and to ensure your health, to make sure you survive the pregnancy and birth. I will not let you leave me, leave Willow or the possible other children, for nothing is more important to me than you and Willow. And, obviously Willow and the babies..."
"Babies?" Anna asked with a startled laugh.
"Well, you could end up having multiples as you're a twin darlin'." I said kissing her head, laughing when she slapped my chest calling me cheeky.

"Anyway, we would treat all our children the same. None of our children will ever be put above the other. They will be treated equally, but if you don't want to my love than that's fine. I'm perfectly happy with you and Willow, I just wanted to know your thoughts." I said firmly. Anna suddenly shocked me as she climbed onto my lap straddling me and kissing me passionately, my hands holding her hips. As I felt the love, adoration and happiness surging from her.
"I love you so much." Anna said after pulling back slightly. "I can't put into words how happy you just made me, Jazz." Anna said kissing me again.
"Is that a yes?" I asked curiously.

"Yes. Yes. Yes." Anna cried happily a wide smile on her face as she kissed all over mine ending at my lips. "I've always wanted at least four kids and I know that you will do your all to ensure mine and Willow's health and well-being. You've proven that more than enough babe."
"Four? Hmm." I asked spinning us around so Anna was beneath me kissing her all over. "It's good job that's what I wanted when I was human too isn't it." I teased kissing her lips and making her laugh.
"Well it doesn't have to be exactly four." Anna laughed squirming away from my tickles. "But what about waiting until our honeymoon?" Anna asked nervously.

"Sounds perfect darlin'." I said wanting to take her nerves away as I kissed her happily. Settling down to cuddle for the night content in each other's arms. Everything is now perfect and in under a months time this wonderful woman besides me will be my wife and soon we would be adding to our family. But no matter what I would always treasure my eldest, my Princess Willow Amber Hale who stole my heart before she was even born, just like her mother did the first time I met her.
