Alice pulled her hand from Aro's grasp. Whatever he saw, Verne knew it shook him to his core.
"Now you know, that's your future. Unless you decide on another course."
"We cannot alter our course, the child still poses a grave threat," Caius spoke up.
"But what if you were sure she could remain concealed from the human world? Could we leave in peace?"
"Of course, but that can't be known."
"Actually, it can." Edward smiled, reading Alice's mind.
They watched as a man and woman stepped towards them. For the better part of the week, Nahuel and his aunt from the Ticuna tribes of Brazil stayed with the Cullens while teaching them all about Renesmee. Renesmee would fully mature at seven, never ageing past her teens. The ageing would slow down immensely and allow her to be enrolled in middle and high school normally. But until she looked those ages it was best to homeschool. And like Verne, she survived on food and blood.
Carlisle checked the ultrasound in his home-office. Verne's pregnancy started normal, but very quickly after the Volturi left she had become like Bella. The vampire portion kicking in and driving the pregnancy and baby into hyper drive. Her mostly vampire body helped her not get weak while carrying. Verne walked into the living room, immediately laying down on the couch. Jacob wrapped his arm around her for warmth. Everyone looked to the young Cullen to hear what Carlisle had said.
"Twins?!" Edward broke the silence. Leave it to her brother to know how to make an announcement.
"Twins?!" Everyone else repeated. Jacob kissed Verne's temple and rubbed her stomach.
"Yep, both boys. Both wearing me the fuck out, I can't wait for this pregnancy to be done."
Verne was grateful to have Carlisle there every step of the way until she gave birth. It was relatively easy and in the end she had two very healthy babies: Edward Jared Black and Lee Ephraim Black. Like Renesmee, EJ and Lee aged slightly faster.
"If you're moving to Maine, let me go up with Jake and help fix the house so it's ready in time."
"It's fine, Emmett," Verne said from the front yard.
Billy had invited everyone over to his house for a 4th of July barbecue. Verne and Jacob were throwing around a frisbee with their kids, Koda trying to intervene and catch the Frisbee before one them could. EJ and Lee's quick ageing stopped sooner than Renesmee's. Carlisle thought Verne and Jake could enroll them in fourth grade now, they seemed to have stabilized.
After that revelation, the couple decided to start seriously working on their family's future. Everyone was surprised that the two wanted to go but they understood. Verne and Jacob from the outside had the most normal looking life and wanted to experience a bit of it. Of course, Rosalie was the first to stop complaining about the move when she saw Verne's family's estate house.
"I'm just saying, the house will be finished in time for the boys to start school."
"We're enrolling them for the Spring Semester. Not September, we need to get settled first. Jake has to finish the garage, I need to set up the clothing store."
"Come on, V!"
"Emmett, we're not moving till after the baby's born why are you in such a rush to get rid of us." Verne hurried the words out not even thinking about what was said.
Everyone stopped eating to look at the small family.
"Did you just say baby?" Billy asked.
"Way to ruin the surprise, babe." Jacob came up next to Verne. "Yeah, everyone we're having another kid."
Esme immediately engulfed them in a hug. Everyone was happy with just Renesmee and the twins, not ever thinking they'd have kids in the family anyway. The announcement of another was overwhelming happiness.
"Mom, I can't find my sweater vest," Lee said as he came downstairs.
"You're gonna wear the sweater vest and the shorts? You'll look like an idiot."
"Carli Rosa Black! Don't be rude and go help your brother look for his vest," Verne said as she sat on the couch, braiding EJ's hair for school.
Carli got up to help Lee. Just like her brothers, Carli, aged fast at first but stopped even earlier. She stabilized enough to be in third grade, only a year behind her brothers. Verne and Jacob suspected the werewolf gene took over more and more with each kid. If they were to have another they'd probably age like a normal human, like Jacob did before he phased.
Jacob came from the back of the house, in his mechanic uniform, with a basket of laundry.
"Lee! I've got your uniform right here."
Jacob held up the sweater vest. Lee and Carli both came running back down stairs, Lee grabbing his vest from Jake to put on.
"Alright, get your shoes on before the bus gets here." Verne finished with EJ's hair and ushered the kids out the door. "And we're going to Forks this weekend, don't forget to pack when you get home!"
"Family house, beautiful children, Maine, our own shops. We really accomplished that dream board." Jacob came up behind Verne laughing as they watched the kids' bus drive away.
"We really did. Three kids, wow."
Jacob turned Verne around to face him.
"You know, I've got an hour before I open shop. Wanna go for a fourth?"
"Oh you're pushing it, Jake."
"Hmm?" Jacob kissed her.
They both heard the cracks as his hands gripped her waist but it didn't bother either of them anymore. The kissing became more intense as Verne wrapped her arms around his neck. They both pulled away slightly breathless.
"I love you."
"Forever?"
"Forever."
Jacob kissed Verne, smiling as he did.
