"Hey," Bella greets as Jacob comes in from distracting Sam's pack. "Are you okay?"
"Yeah," Jacob replies as Rayne cradles her son to her chest in one of Jasper's long sleeves and a pair of spandex shorts, "It's not like I'm the one carrying a demon."
"This is real important, Bella," Rosalie says to the human; the blonde is relieved she and Emmett broke up and Alana came back home within the week. "Why don't you tell Jacob what you've decided."
"What now?" Jacob asks the vampire and the human.
"My Rose is trying to talk Bella out of her baby names," Rayne muses.
"She hates them," Bella states.
"Well, then I'll be on your side no matter what you picked," Jacob replies.
"They're not that bad," Bella insists. "I'd it's a big, EJ. Edward Jacob."
"Okay, fine, that one's not awful," Rosalie murmurs.
"Tell him the girl's name," Rayne chirps.
"I was playing around with our mom's names - Renee and Esme," Bella explains. "And I was thinking... Renesme."
"Renesme..." Jacob replies.
"Too weird?" Bella asks.
"Um..."
"No, that's not too weird," Edward says to his wife. "It's beautiful, and it's unique. Which certainly fits this situation. I like tenses,e."
"He likes it," Bella says.
Alice goes to hand Bella a glass of blood. The glass slips through Bella's fingers as her spine snaps and it's time for the baby. Rayne gasps as she clutches her son to her chest and she uses her ultra speed to go out to the yard. Leah's wolf trots up.
Rayne has tears in her eyes as she listens to everyone inside. She sees Alice dragging Rosalie out. Rosalie walks over as Leah phases and takes Charles. Rosalie embraces her mate, in need of being held. Rayne buries her face in Rosalie's neck, she sure has missed her.
Rayne tenses when Bella's heartbeat stops and Rayne looks at Rosalie.
"Rose..."
Rosalie shushes her and holds her as she cries. A growl is heard from the bishes and the wolves head to La Push.

"I don't care what he's done!" Billy yells as he wheels out of his house after sam Uley.
"I'm sorry, Billy," Sam claims. "I just thought to should know."
Paul comes jogging up and he whispers, "Bella didn't make it."
Sam turns to Billy. "Bella's dead. It killed her." He turns to the pack. "Let's go!"
"Don't touch Rayne," Paul says.
Sam pats Paul's shoulder. "Never in my life would I harm a hair on thst siren's head."
Paul nods hand they all phase.
********
Rayne holds both Renesme and Charles in the living room. Charles is staring at Renesme as Jacob meets her eyes from the door, imprinting on Edward and Bella's daughter.
Rayne holds the babies while the coven fends off the pack. They had her hold Renesme and Charles so that she wouldn't be in the middle and end up like Emily. Plus, Rayne loves being around the kids. She wants another eventually.

In the Volterra, Italy, a woman walks into the throne room with a silver platter. She walks up to the kings to deliver a message to master Aro, Caius, and Marcus.
"Oh, it's from Carlisle!" Aro enthuses as he grabs the paper. "Which is spelt with an 'S', sweet Bianca."
Aro motions for Felix and Demitri, and the two guards appear suddenly on either side of Bianca.
Aro opens the message and he reads it. "He's added a new member to his coven."
"Ah," Marcus murmurs, Aro would have said if it were the siren.
"Increasing his power," Caius states, his voice chilling enough to Bianca, which doesn't add to the fear of having to vampire guards on either side of her.
Aro nods. Demitri and Felix then drag a screaming Bianca away.
"First it's the spelling, then the grammar," Aro murmurs and he hands the message to Marcus.
"At least our dispute with the Cullens is over," Marcus breaths.
"Over?"
"Mmm," Marcus hums in response.
"Goodness no!" Aro muses as he thinks of that precious siren. "Our dispute goes far beyond the fate of a mere human."
"And what might it be?" Caius asks casually, his casual is scary.
"Why, brother, I thought we agreed," Aro purrs. "They have something I want."
And what Aro wants is Rayne Lynn Rhône-Spears, the siren.
