Seraph

Extra 4

Morgana was right; Rosalie's vampire body kept her perfectly healthy, for a vampire. However, it was her advanced vampire senses that would constantly throw her off guard. She could feel the baby growing. Rosalie could feel it all, and she couldn't help herself. She was incredibly excited. Any different movement could usually elicit a surprised gasp.

She knew the random instances of surprise she felt kept Serafina paranoid. Her wife was constantly worrying about her well-being. She was practically glued to her side at all times. Rosalie couldn't hide her smug grin at how her wife continued fawning over herself. What made it better was that it wasn't just her wife.

Rosalie had notified her adoptive parents, who cut their trip short at Esme's insistence and joined the Texas family immediately. Esme was currently fighting Serafina and Alice to be able to fluff a pillow for herself while Carlisle consulted with Morgana. He wanted to help, but his daughter seemed perfectly fine. He wasn't as frightened as he had been with Bella because, quite frankly, Bella looked like death while pregnant, whereas Rosalie looked radiant. As for Jasper, he typically stayed nearby in case he would be needed, but mostly tried to keep soothing feelings pumping throughout the home at all times from a distance.

Emmett had apologized for not being able to show up immediately, but he was working closely with Leah and the pack to strengthen their bond and earn the pack's trust. He didn't want to separate her from her family, but knew how untrusting they were of him being anywhere near their people. And although Leah had told him of her dreams of leaving to explore the world, which he was more than happy to help with, he knew she would always want to go home afterward. And he knew he would always want to stay with her, too, so being able to be with her at her home on the reservation was a must. He needed to gain their trust, and he would ensure that he never betrayed any trust given. So he told them he would be a bit late, and the family was okay with that. They figured it was Emmett's turn to be happy.

As for Edward's little family, they were currently forbidden from entering Serafina's town. Serafina knew Bella was showing exceptional self-control so far, but she couldn't trust that her restraint would remain in the middle of a bustling city that had no fear of their kind. Serafina would rather wait until after that newborn strength disappeared, so that any of their family would be able to stop her should her bloodlust creep up.

Serafina did extend an invitation to Renesmee, though. Esme and Alice both offered to babysit in case the couple decided to take Serafina up on the offer. With how Bella had been trying to jump Edward's bones immediately after she was turned, the whole family knew it was only a matter of time before they got a call to pick the kid up.

What no one expected was how quickly the couple would accept the offer. What surprised Serafina, though, was how they would find out. She had sensed a presence approaching her home, and she furrowed her brows but decided to get the door herself when she heard a knock. Her wife only gave her a puzzled look.

"Well, that's a pleasant surprise," Alice grinned, which immediately reassured the blond that everything was fine. She wasn't as worried about her wife answering the suspicious knock anymore.

Serafina opened the door, and there stood the smiling face she did not remember existed.

"Surprise!" Jacob and Renesmee shouted as he held her in his arms along with some duffel bags.

"Demonia! It's so good to see you!" she said with exaggerated enthusiasm as she plucked her from Jacob's arms. She then pushed Jacob back when he tried to step into the home with his bags and slammed the door in his face.
