"Jasper, she's going to be fine." Said Rosalie, trying to sound reassuring.
It had only been 45 minutes, but to Jasper it felt like hours. He paced the floor in front of the door of Carlisle's office. Edward sat motionless, listening close to every word Carlisle was thinking.
"Oh my god..." he mouthed to himself.
"What it is, Edward?" Asked Esme.
Before Edward could answer her, the door Opened and Carlisle stepped out, he couldn't hid the surprise in his eyes.
"What's wrong?? What's happening to her?" Asked Jasper.
"It's impossible, but, I believe Nolana is...Pregnant."
"A baby?..." smiled Rosalie, in disbelief.
"How is that possible?" Asked Esme.
"Come, Let's talk downstairs, and let her rest for a while." Suggested Carlisle.
Everyone gathered into the living room to listen to the reasoning behind Carlisle's miraculous theory.
"Pregnant?..." mouthed Jasper, still in shock.
"I don't have the equipment I'd have if we were at the hospital, but yes. I'm almost positive that that's what we're looking at."
"How can that be? Vampires become sterile once they've turned, there's no way..." Said Rosalie.
"She's having symptoms similar to a human woman in her condition. Fatigue, nausea, lightheadedness. I lifted her shirt to palpate her stomach and within just the short time I've been examining her, it seems to have grown in size, and..."
"And?!?"
"There's movement inside..." Carlisle Sighed.
Jasper ran his hands through his hair and paced across the room.
"How?!?" He asked
"It's so rare, there's literally no documented cases that I can find. Nothing online. No stories, tales, cultural legends, nothing. But, I do remember reading about such a phenomenon in one of the old Tome's I've collected over the years."
Carlisle walks over to a large wooden curio cabinet and pulls an old weathered book from the top shelf. The Cullen's gather around him as he thoughtfully flips through the pages. The wait silently, the only sound in the room was the flapping of the old, worn paper.
"Ah. Here..."
Carlisle points to a drawing of a circle, with faded lines coming from it.
The faded text is written in Latin.
"What does it say?" Asked Edward.
"It's an ancient legend, about the Tenebris Graviditate. A rare celestial occurrence that happens every few hundred millennia.
Any Vampire who mates while bathing in the light of the Tenebris Graviditate will be blessed with offspring."
"What does that mean? Tenebris Graviditate?" Asked Esme.
"Well... from what I understand, it roughly translates to 'Dark Pregnancy'" answered Carlisle.
"You mean to tell me that if Emmet and I would've made love on this particular night, we could've had children?!?" Yelled Rosalie.
"It looks that way..." said Edward.
"Unbelievable!" She scoffed, throwing her arms up into the air and plopping down beside Emmett on the loveseat.
"Is this dangerous?? What do we know about this?" Asked Jasper.
"That's the thing. It's so rare it's never been documented except for this." Said Carlisle, gesturing to the page before closing the book and returning it to its place on the shelf.
"What I can tell you is that the fetus is rapidly growing, which means that this is an accelerated pregnancy. She could give birth next month, next week, or tomorrow for all I know..."
Jasper sat on the couch beside Esme, holding his head in his hands, and trying to wrap his mind around all the information he's been given.
Esme rubbed his back, comfortingly.
"Is she going to be alright? What made her collapse?" She asked.
"My guess is that at the rate this baby is growing, it's basically sucking up any energy she has. But she seems alright, aside from being tired, and thirsty."
A slight shuffling sound came from upstairs, everyone turned their attention to it.
"Jasper??" You called weakly.
Jasper jumped to his feet and ran up the stairs to you, with the rest of the Cullen's following close behind.
"Nolana! Darlin, are you alright?" He asked, bursting through the door and sprinting to your side.
"I'm fine...I think." You sighed weakly.
He helped you sit upright on the couch. Everyone stared at your extended belly which was even more prominent now.
"What?..." You Asked
"Nolana...honey...you're pregnant." Said Jasper, calmly.
"What? Oh stop." You chuckled, situating yourself to be more comfortable.
As you moved, you felt a sudden jolt from inside you. The startling feeling made you instinctively grab your belly, and when you looked down you noticed it was extended to the size of a soccer ball.
"AHHHHH! W-WHAT IS THIS?!? HOW!!?" You shrieked in alarm.
"Shh! Shh! You're ok! It's alright!" Said Jasper holding you close to his chest.
"You're fine. We're just having a baby." He smiled.
"A baby? Us?..." you couldn't believe what you were hearing. You felt like you were dreaming. Shock melted into delight as you cradled your belly in your arms, feeling the life inside you flip and flop at your touch.
"Yes, my love. We're having a baby." Whispered Jasper, placing his hand gently on your belly.
