~Valerie~

It has been a few days since all of us have been gathering witness. Yet again, Emmett's protective side took over again, so I am stuck at the Cullen's house with Bryson, Anna, and Seth waiting for his return.

Though, I did call up Damien and Kelly for help. So they are here to help me be calm when the house gets filled up with vampires.

Then after a few days after Emmett left, he drives up the driveway. Anna stays right by Damien as we all walk out to greet Emmett.

Emmett gets out of the driver's seat, as another vampire comes out of the passenger seat of the jeep. Emmett smiles as he walks up to us, he kisses me passionately. Then he picks up Anna, and kisses her forehead.
"Hey squirt."

"Hi Daddy!" Anna says with a smile on her face. Bryson starts to stir since he can feel his father near him, and he starts to cry.

I start to bounce him softly.
Emmett looks over at me, and he walks back over before looking into my eyes asking if he can hold him. I nod my head, before carefully handing Emmett his son. While he is holding Anna in his other arm.

"Bryson. Bryson, hey there bud. Why are you crying, Daddy's got you along with your sister." Emmett softly says to Bryson calming him down.

Upon opening his eyes, Bryson slowly stops crying as he looks up at his father.

Then he starts to smile, and Emmett smiles down at his son. Which fills my heart with so much Joy, and Love.

I knew then that I chose right, in finding my soulmate in Emmett Cullen.

"Baby, who is your friend here?" I ask Emmett looking towards the man that Emmett drove in with.

"Oh this is Alistair. One of Carlisle's buddies from one of the Wars." Emmett says as he stands up against my body.

I turn my head and smile at Alistair,
"It is very nice to meet you, Alistair."

He nods his head as his face remains stoic,
"It is a pleasure to meet you as well, Valerie."

I give him a small smile, and it becomes very tense.
"Everyone is in the living room, if you wish to go inside."

Alistair nods his head before entering the house. I lift my head up to face Emmett, and I lean into to give him a kiss.

Ever since Alice and Jasper left, I have been feeling a weird feeling building up in my gut. So I have been near Emmett as long as I can til that feeling leaves me.

~Later that night~

After putting Anna, and Bryson down for the night. I am standing next to Emmett as his arm is around my waist, and is pressed against his side.

We are having a meeting with all of the witnesses, I watch as Edward, my brother in law stand in front of the witnesses.
"Their goal isn't punishment, it's power. Carlisle won't ask you to fight, but I will for the sake of my family, for yours, and the way you want to live."

It was silent for a moment before Jacob stands up.
"The packs will fight. We have never been afraid if vampires."

"We will join you." Tanya Denali stands up. Then one after another, all of the witnesses stand up ready to fight for Reneesme.

That night, as I am laying in Emmett's arms. I just kept thinking over many cases of where if Emmett and I die, would Damien watch our children?

As a mother of two, many thoughts fill up my head. I just want Anna, and Bryson to have a future but even if Emmett and I are not in it.

I sigh before climbing out of Emmett's arms, and walk towards the window that looks the woods. I wrap my arms around myself, and I let my mind wonder.

Soon I feel arms wrap around my waist, holding me to a broad chest.

"Something wrong, babe?" I can feel his breath fan over my neck.

"Just my mind wondering many bad things. Nothing to worry about, since we have bigger problems right now." I tell him as he quickly turns me around.

"No, Valerie. Tell me these bad things that your mind is thinking." Emmett says looking into my eyes.

I sigh not wanting to tear my eyes away from Emmett.
"I'm scared Emmett. I'm really scared."

"About what babe? You know that I would never let anyone hurt you, Anna, or Bryson. I love you too much to let anything or anyone hurt you." Emmett tells me with passion.

"I know you would not let anyone hurt us, as a mother I want Anna and Bryson to have a future. What I am scared about is what if you and I are not there for Anna or Bryson. If we are not there for Bryson's first steps or Anna's first day of school." Tears trail down my cheeks.

"I can't even....imagine that we are not there for them Emmett. I love them too much." I say leaning into his chest to sob.

"Oh babe. It's okay." Emmett says hugging me tightly to his chest and tries to calm me down. For a few moments, Emmett hugged me and keep telling me that we would make it to see all of Anna's and Bryson's miles stones.

For the rest of the night, Emmett held me in his arms and rubs soothing circles on my back. Promising that we would make it.

I hope to God that he was right.

Hey everyone! I am so very sorry for such a long time where I did not write for this book. I have three reasons for that.

1) I am going to have surgery again on my foot, so I will have more time on my story then. That took forever to uncover that I have a pocket fill of water right next to my Achilles tendon.

2) At around January, I thought that I had to move 2hrs away from where I am living now because of family issues, so I was worrying about that and saving up a lot.

3) I am now in counseling for my depression. My depression has gotten so bad that I felt like I never belong on this Earth. Never belong to the loving family that I have, and I felt bad thinking that I was born the way I was broken and empty. So I decided that I had enough of thinking that way, and I had to get some help and now I do.

So again I am so very sorry for not updating sooner.
