Jasper's Orchid

Emerson

Here I am sitting in the library reading to my very pregnant belly and watching them move around to the sound of my voice, or is it the fact that I'm reading a book about their daddy to them. I decided to stop reading and get some much needed rest and think about what I did for everyone to be mad at me when all I did was inform the Volturi about my gifts and the fact that us women are pregnant. I didn't want for the Volturi to think that we created an army of immortal children and kill us all. I wrote Aro a letter explaining our situation along with proof that I wasn't lying, but now my cowboy and my family aren't talking to me. The only one that does is Carlisle and that's because he understands that I was just trying to keep everyone safe. I haven't spoken to Jasper in two weeks cause everytime I enter a room he and everyone gets up and leaves. Hell if it wasn't for Carlisle I probably wouldn't get fed. Placing the book down I carefully stand up from the recliner and make my way to Jasper and my bed and sit down just walking five feet wears a person out that's carrying four extra people inside them. Taking a deep breath I gingerly lift my sore and swollen legs and feet up onto the bed trying to elevate them which is very difficult to do by yourself when you can't even see your feet after about ten minutes of trying I just gave up. With a frustrated huff I slowly lay down and try to get comfortable. I roll onto my right side and look out the window and hope and pray that the family can forgive me. I haven't been able to sleep lately because Jasper stays in a guest room. I haven't told anyone this, but I'm thinking about going back to Carmen and Eleazar in Alaska. Before I wrote Aro I called and spoke with mom and dad about it and they thought it would be a good thing to do to avoid any misunderstandings when other vampires see the children and run off to the Volturi to say that the Cullens have committed a grave offense by creating immortal children. I'm so lost in my thoughts that I didn't know the sun had set until I smelt my favorite food of eggplant parmesan and garlic bread. I looked at the clock and notice that it's five o'clock and I'm so very hungry Jasper usually brings me my food in bed because I'm more top heavy than before and I can't see my feet to go down the stairs. I sit here and wait to see if anyone will bring me some food, but when I look at the clock I notice it's been three hours since dinner and once again I was forgotten. I lay back down and cry cause I'm hungry and cause my family is mad at me for trying to protect them. I've cried so much that I don't realize I've fallen asleep until I'm woke up by my phone ringing looking at the caller id I see it's Dad I answer it with a hi dad I miss you. Then he asks me about my day which gets me thinking again and then I'm starting to cry as I tell him everything that has happened in the past two weeks and how I'm so hungry because no one brought me up anything and I told him I'd go get some food if I could see to walk down the stairs on my own. We talked awhile longer and I cried some more because no one loves me anymore. After two hours of talking with my parents we said love you and hung up. I was so caught up with talking to my dad and mom that I didn't realize that the house was eerily quiet and that got me thinking that they all left me as they don't love me anymore. Thinking about that got me crying so hard that I went into a panic attack and before I knew it I was engulfed in a bone crushing hug being surrounded by a scent I'd never smelt before. The mystery person just kept ahold of me rocking back and forth while rubbing my back and telling me that everything is going to be ok. Then the mystery person called me il mio fiore. Which means my flower in Italian. After I calmed down I looked up at my saviour and was met with five pairs of the most beautiful ruby colored eyes I'd ever seen. I sat there just staring at the five mystery guests for a few minutes before I realized who I was looking at. I was starting to freak out again because I was just having a meltdown in King Marcus' arms. I quickly apologized to him for ruining his beautiful shirt but all he did was tell me il mio fiore I promise you that the shirt is fine it will dry, but we couldn't help but over hear the conversation you had with Carmen and Eleazar please tell us how long has it been since you've had a proper meal or been out of this bedroom? I looked down at my hands and told them everything from when I asked Carlisle to help me write King Aro a letter to explain our situation so that there wouldn't be any misunderstandings between The Cullens and The Volturi thinking that we were creating immortal children when we aren't. Then I explained how everyone but Carlisle is mad at me for involving The Volturi thinking I'm just trying to get us all killed and how I tried to explain that we'd most likely be killed for not saying anything to y'all and let some other vampire see the children and run and tattle on us for something that wasn't true. I told them that I'd rather be safe than sorry. Then I told them about the fight Jasper and I had where he told me I was a stupid naive little girl for thinking that just because my creator is Volturi that y'all would still kill us if you deemed the children and myself dangerous, and that was two weeks ago. After I finished my story I heard a feral growl before I was picked up bridal style in the arms of my creator and rushed downstairs and out the front door and in the back seat of a decked out black on black with tinted windows BMW on our way to get me some food. All the way to the restaurant I was sat between Marcus and Caius and I was studying them and thinking that these people are not the same people that instill fear among vampire and human alike cause I truly don't see the fear cause they're being nothing but nice to me. With this thought I turned toward Marcus and asked why they're being so nice to me? After a few minutes Marcus began to explain what his gift was and that is to see the bonds that people have between others. Then he went to explain that he himself and I have a father daughter bond and it's a very strong one. He also told me that Aro and Caius each share a uncle niece bond with me. He also told me that my creator Demetri and the other guy who's name I learned to be Felix shared a brother sister bond. We spent the entire ride to Seattle talking and getting to know each other and before I knew it we'd pulled up outside the most expensive restaurant in town one by one the royal vampires got out of the car. As I was getting ready to get out of the car Felix held out his hand and carefully helped me out and back on my feet. I smiled and politely thanked him for the help and he responded with a small smile and a nod. Looking around I noticed that Aro, Caius, and Demetri were already in the restaurant ordering one of everything from the menu for me to eat by the time the rest of us entered the restaurant the hostess was giving me death glares just for being with my dad,uncles, and brothers. Noticing my destress Felix asked to speak to the manager who immediately came over to ask what was wrong? I told him that since we arrived in this fine establishment that the hostess has been completely ignoring and glaring at me and trying to flirt with my happily married father and uncles. All I'm trying to do is enjoy the time I have with my dad, uncles, and brothers before they have to return to Italy so can you please sir escort us to the table that is probably already filled with the whole menu. The manager escorted us to the other three then asked what I'd like to drink and I told him I'd like to have a Shirley Temple. A couple minutes later my drink and all the food was placed on the table in front of us. There was everything from pasta carbonara to baked ziti as main courses and there were so many different desserts from cannoli to tiramisu I didn't know which dishes to try so I tried a little bit of each and I savored every bit of it until I couldn't eat anymore. As I finished my Shirley Temple the kings even though they weren't happy had everything boxed up for me so I could give it to the other women so they could also eat. Demetri and Felix carried the various boxes of food out to the car while Caius carefully took my hands and helped me to stand. Still holding my hand Caius, Aro, Marcus, and myself made our way to the entrance of the restaurant as we were passing the hostess booth I noticed that the same bitchy host was still there. I guess she noticed me to because she once again glared at me, but this time she addressed Caius telling him that her shift ends at 6 and gave him her phone number before she turned toward me and said that she didn't see what Caius saw in a fat ugly bitch like me, and that if I didn't loose a few pounds he'd leave me for someone who's much thinner and beautiful than me before she harshly tapped my cheek and giving me a wink then she returned to her booth to wait on another couple who walked in as she was insulting me, but instead of following the hostess the older couple walked over to me and introduced themselves to me saying their names are Vincenzo and Luciana Bianchi and that they are the owners of the restaurant. I shook their hands while telling them that the food was absolutely delicious. Mr. and Mrs. Bianchi then asked me how far along I am. I told them I'm due on Halloween and that I'm having quadruplets three boys and a girl. Then they turned to Caius and asked him if he was excited to be a father which caused me to laugh and introduce them to each other. I introduced Marcus as my father Aro and Caius as my uncles and Demetri and Felix as my brothers. The Bianchis apologized for their assumption and I told them that it's fine and that my husband and my family don't really see eye to eye so that's why he isn't with us tonight. My feet started to swell from standing up to long so we bid the Bianchis farewell and that I hoped they have a lovely evening. They thanked me after telling me that they would take care of that evil she devil hostess. I smiled and nodded in gratitude then went to walk out the door when Caius picked me up and carried me to the car and gently sat me in the middle of the back seat then buckled me in. Before too long I started to get sleepy and laid my head on Aro's shoulder and let the darkness take over as Aro told me to sleep my la farfalla and kissed me on the forehead. I slept all the way back to Forks and didn't wake up until the next morning. I woke up to fingers tracing over my bare skin leaving tingles and goosebumps so I knew it was my cowboy, but I was still mad at him so I sat up smacked his hands away from me. He looked hurt that I didn't want him to touch me so I told him that he doesn't have the right to be all sad cause I don't want him touching me right now cause he had two weeks to come in here talk and make up, but he didn't so when I'm ready to talk I'll talk. Then he responded and said I'm so sorry my flower I was just worried that something would happen to you and our children along with everyone else too. We all had a long talk with the kings and the explained why you did what you did he went to say something else, but I cut him off and said that we'll talk as a family once he helps me to get dressed and then downstairs to the kitchen so I can eat instead of starving until Carlisle came home. Once I was dressed Jasper gingerly helped me down the stairs and into the kitchen for breakfast which looked to be red velvet waffles, scrambled eggs, bacon, and a fruit salad. Jasper sat me in my usual place at the table and pushed the chair to the table. I could feel everyone's gaze on me, but I kept my eyes trained on my hands afraid that if I were to look up I'd see all the hateful glares that everyone gave me for the past two weeks. I've never been more thankful for food as I was in this minute because you could cut the tension with a knife. Once I was finished I slowly stood up and went to walk to the living room when I was picked up by Jasper who told me that my feet would swell by the time I made it to the recliner in the living room. He sat me down and then sat on the floor in front of me and grabbed my feet and started to rub them. I closed my eyes and waited for the Volturi and Carlisle to come and start the family meeting. I started to feel tired as Jasper worked his magic on my feet I was slowly falling asleep until I heard footsteps on the stairs and then walking into the living room opening my eyes I saw the Volturi and Carlisle standing in the center of the room, but before any of them could say anything my big brother stood up and walked towards me then he knelt in front of me and took my hands in his looked into my eyes took a deep breath and then he said that he was so sorry for treating me like he did because he was scared the Volturi would hurt everyone for me being able to grant vampires the ability to procreate which is something that was not long ago to be thought impossible and he didn't want anything to happen to any of us. Once he gave his apology he kissed my head and then one by one everyone apologized for how they've been treating me for the last two weeks. I told everyone that I forgive them and not to do it again. Jasper kissed me and told me that he loves me, and as I was going to say it back I felt like I'd just peed my pants and as I was going to say something to Jasper a very powerful wave of pain ripped through my back and stomach making me scream. Carlisle noticing my condition jumped from coven leader and to doctor mode in 0 to 60. He told Jasper to get me to the birthing room on the bed and in a gown cause the babies decided that Halloween wasn't what they want their birthday to be. Coming out of his panic Jasper picked me up and rushed me up to the birthing room placed me on my feet and helped me out of my wet clothes and into a hospital gown and then he placed me on the bed and grabbed a chair sitting down and grabbed my hand and kissed it every time a contraction hit. A few minutes later Carlisle came in and examined me and told us that I would be ready to push when the next contraction hit.
I went into labor at 10:30 am and at 11 am Henley Apollo was born then at 11:10 am Jensen Stephen then at 11:20 Hudson Caleb and finally at 11:30 Rosalice Esmeralda was born. Jasper showed me our babies before him and the guys took them to get them all cleaned up and dressed. While the guys tended to the babies the Volturi came and congratulated me for the birth of my children. Each one kissed my head and left the room so Carlisle could give me one last check up before Cady came in and helped me shower and get dressed and then she helped me get into my bed, but once I was in bed and covered up I fell asleep before I even got to hold my babies but before I was completely out I heard Jasper tell everyone that nobody could hold our children until I do.
