16

I woke up that morning from the dim loght outside the window. I opened my eyes to see that I had been moved to our house in our bedroom. Renesmee and Sara-Bell were both gone, probably downstairs. I got up and walked down to the kitchen to see Renesmee making breakfast and Sara-Bell in her crib, clapping her hands in excitment, most likely impatience to get her food. I walked up behind Renesmee and put my arms around her waist and kissed her neck.
"Good morning, beautiful."
"Good morning. So what did Carlisle say about Sara-Bell?"
"He told me that she's going to have a little bit of a gene from both of us. Part werewolf, vampire, and human."
"Wow. So we have a special child, huh?" She turned around to look at me and put her arms around my neck, and I kept mine around her waist.
"Yes, we do."
"Then I say we did a pretty good job." She kissed me for a long moment, until Sara-Bell started getting restless. "Sorry. She's been waiting for her food for a while."
"It's fine." I went over to her and picked her up and held her as she got her food.
A sudden feeling was going through my mind. I saw both my happy wife and my happy baby, making me feel that I would be very regretful if I were to go and fight against the Volturi, leaving them here. I didn't want to make them unhappy if I were to leave them, but I didn't want them to get hurt. I felt that I had to make a desicion soon. I had to talk to her about it. I couldn't just leave without telling her, because I knew I would regret that.
"Hey, can I talk to you about something." Then, I heard a car door out front.
"Hold on. That's Carlisle. He came over to get Sara-Bell so he do measures and stuff," she said, walking toward the door. She opened the door to see Carlisle. "Hi, Carlisle."
"Good morning, Nessie, Jacob. Don't worry, I won't be to long with her. I'll bring her back as soon as I'm done."
"Actually," I said, "Do you mind if we come over later? I need to talk to Nessie about something."
"Of course." Nessie and I booth kissed Sara-Bell on the cheek before I gave her to Carlisle.
"Bye, Carlisle."
"Goodbye." As soon as he was gone, Nessie came over to me, putting her arms around my neck, and kissed me.
"So... what exactly did you want to talk to me about." I let out a huge sigh. I picked her up and took her to the couch so she could sit on my lap.
"I wanted to talk to you about me going to fight and leaving you and Sara-Bell here so you two can be safe."
"Jacob! I don't want to sit here and do nothing while you go off and fight and possibly get hurt or killed!"
"But I can't stand to see you or Sara-Bell get hurt."
"But I can't stand to see you get hurt, and neither can your own daughter!"
"Okay, how about this? You stay here with Sara-Bell and if we want you to come help us fight, then you we'll send someone to look after Sara-Bell and you can come and fight." She got up, off my lap.
"So now I'm just an alternate?!" I got up and put my hands on her shoulders.
"No, no, no. Nessie, that's not what I mea--"
"No! You know what? Just forget it!" The last two words broke as she began to sob and started running up the stairs.
"Nessie, honey! Please don't cry!" I said as I ran after her. She stopped at our bedroom, both of us on one side of the doorway.
"Jacob. I love you, but I just can't see you do this. But I just can't talk about this anymore!" Then, she slammed the door in my face.

I decided to give her sometime alone. I waited outside the door for a while, I didn't wanto to count the minutes, before I slowly opened the door. She was sitting on the couch along the window seal, silent tears still falling, with her knees pulled up against her chest as she looked out the window. I went over to sit by her, not saying a word. She looked up at me after sitting there in silence for only a short moment. She didn't say anything when she scooted over to me and put her head against my chest and curled up on top of my lap. I put my arms around her and ran my hand up and down her back to sooth her. We sat there, still in silence, for a long time as I kissed her hair and she continued to cry. When I couldn't take the silence anymore, I finally whispered to her, "I love you."
"I love you, too. And if you want to go fight, then I'm fine with it."
"No. I'm not going to leave you or Sara-Bell. I'm going to stay here with you." She lifted her head, putting her hands on either side of my face.
"No. You're going to go and fight. I was just afraid of you fighting because I thought that you might get hurt. But I know you're strong enough to do this. We'll be fine."
"Are you sure?"
"Yes." She kissed me and then put her forehead to mine.
"I love you."
"I love you. And I know you're strong enough."
"Well, we've got to go get Sara-Bell."
"Right."

We got to the house, everyone gathered in the main room, probably around Alice to see what she saw in her visions. Esme was carrying Sara-Bell as she was chewing on a piece of toast. Nessie went straight over to Esme, greeting her, and taking Sara-Bell. I walked over to Edward and Bella to see what was going on. Everyone was here. All the werewolves and vampires, which I was a little surprised about.
"So what's going on? What does she see?"
"We're waiting for her to tell us," Bella said. Both Alice and Edward seemed as if they were consentrating the best they could, Edward probably reading her mind. It wasn't long after Alice spoke.
"I see... us fighting the Voturi. But before that, we were arguing over something.... But none of us started the fight, one of them did, but I'm not sure what about....It looks like... at some point, someone gets mad at one of them, though I don't know who gets mad, probably one of the wolves, and we hold that person back from starting the fight..... it's...it's... it's Jacob."
"Wait, I thought you couldn't see me, or any of us."
"I don't know how, but.... but I can see you clearly now. Something's actually letting me see, but I don't know what." That's when Edward turned his head to look as Sara-Bell, who was laughing and clapping her hands, and looking back at Alice.
"What?" Nessie said, "What is it dad?"
"I think... I think it's Sara-Bell."
"What's Sara-Bell?"
"I think she's somehow clearing Alice's visions so she can see more."
"But that's not possible," Carlisle broke in. "We already know her ability, she does what Renesmee can do."
"Maybe it's different than what we expected it to be."
"So, you're sayong she has the ability to clear Alice's vision and make them stronger, dad?"
"Well, her and Alice can see her visions, so I think she's somehow making them stronger. What do you see now, Ailce?"
"I see... Nessie is there..."
"What?"
"Yeah... and we all hold back Jacob from attacking and starting the fight, but instead Caius starts it by attempting to hurt Jacob and then it just.... pretty much, turns into caos."
"Why am I there? I was going to stay with Sara-Bell while Jacob went to go fight."
"Um... I see... Leah. She's going to stay here with Sara-Bell since she can't fight because she's still pregnant and her baby's going to come three days late."
"I don't know. I'm not sure I should leave Sara-Bell, not that I don't trust Leah, but I just don't want the possibility of her losing both of her parents."
"Everything's going to be fine, Renesmee," Edward said.
"I guess... I could lend some help."
"Okay, so it's settled. Everyone will go and fight, while Leah stays here with Sara-Bell. Alice, when are they coming to the clearing?"
"Um... exactly noon tomorrow."
"Then... we're going into battle."
