Till Death Do Us Part

3 days without you

I sat in the room, my twin son and daughter in my arms, and listened to the sound that was heaven and relief to my ears. That familiar sound I was trying to place was the sound of a changing heart. I looked to Edward and Carlisle who seemed to be relieved so that was a god sign.

A few minutes passed and Kota began writhing and screaming in pain. I wanted nothing more than to be by her side but I had my two children to take care of. I took the babies into the next room and had Edward and Carlisle watch Kota during her transformation.

As I had laid down the twins my phone rang. I quickly answered it and heard Alice's voice. It took me a few seconds to hear what she was saying because her voice was really fast to the point that I didn't even want to listen.

"Alice, slow down please, what is going on?" I said patiently.

I heard her mumble something before she repeated herself. "Bella, Esme and Nessie are on their way back to get the babies, they are coming back to Forks."

I began pacing quickly, my free hand in a fist. "What! No, definitely not."

"Emmett, Kota is going to be unstable for her first few weeks. I saw her attacking and killing a human." Alice replied.

I turned my body towards the room that Kota's screams originated. "Whatever I need to do to protect them." I said sadly.

"They will be safe with us Emmett I promise." Alice said.

I honestly trusted her so there was nothing I could say. "I'll see you when this is over." I replied before I hung up.

I gave my full attention back to my children. Who knew how long it would be until I got to see them again. Since Kota was my wife she was my responsibility. I needed to assist her through her new born phase. The hardest part would be hunting, I had to teach her about the vegetarian way of life.

It would be dangerous to let her out anywhere around humans and the only wild life was at the mainland. I would have to have Edward or Carlisle harvest animal blood and bring it back to the island if this was going to work.

I smiled as I watched my babies, they were awake now and growing a bit fussy. Edward quickly appeared with two bottles of what I knew to be blood, by the smell it gave off I could tell it was animal and not human. He gave me a bottle and then took Emma into his arms and began feeding her. I did the same with Dakota.

Edward smiled as he looked at Emma. "I remember when Renesmee was just a little baby." He murmered before bringing Emma up to kiss her on the cheek. Edwards eyes widened momentarily before he chuckled to himself. "Yes I know uncle Edward is always cold." he said to Emma.

I looked at him. "She thinks you are cold?" I asked. Edward nodded his head. "So what is Dakota thinking?"

Edward looked over at Dakota who was staring at me and laughed. "He wishes the noise would stop so he can go back to sleep." Suddenly Edward looked at Emma, his expression softening.

"What is it?" I asked him.

Edward held Emma closer in his arms. "She is making the connection to the screams and her mother. She wants her mother to hold her."

I quickly laid Dakota back in his bassinet before I took Emma into my arms. "Your mother is going to be alright, she is strong." I said soothingly.

I heard the boat pulling up to the dock and I knew my time with my babies were up until their mother was safe to be around them. That could be atleast a year and from the way that Nessie grew they would be about the size of a 6 or 7 year old by then. Life was so unfair and complicated.
