We Get On

Willow and Edward spent that night awake staring into one another’s eyes; no words were exchanged for the comfortable silence that enveloped them put them both at ease and made words obsolete.

His golden eyes told his story. With one look Willow journeyed to the core of his soul. She learned of his anguish, his heartache, his unwavering love for her and the hope of being with her that he clung on to desperately and got him through many lonely nights.

Her emerald green eyes told Edward of her never ending struggle to cope with the loss of her beloved Jacob Black but they also told him of her love for him, of her desire for him to become a part of her and Marley’s family.

Willow clutched Edward’s arm, holding it above her heart as she closed her eyes and began weeping gently. Through her weeping she softly said, “I want to thank you for being so good to my little girl, I don’t think you know how much I appreciate your playing with her and telling her stories about her father. It’s good for her to hear about him from someone other than Billy and me.”

“There’s no need to thank me Willow. I love Jade as if she was my own flesh and blood and would do anything to make her smile or to get a little giggle out of her. I don’t go around putting on a tiara and an oversized dress for just anyone,” responded Edward with a tender smile spread across his handsome face.

Willow brought his hand up to her lips and kissed it gently, her eyes sparkled in the moonlight and Edward could no longer just be passively at her side. He moved so that his body hovered above Willow, her legs on either side of his being, his hands above her head on the pillows, his eyes staring intently into hers.

“I want to make love to you,” he whispered softly as he gazed into her emerald green eyes.

She was taken by the sincerity in his voice. Edward had always refused Willow’s advances claiming that he was waiting until marriage, that his virtue was all he had left and here he was, telling her with gentle eyes and a softness in his voice, unlike any she had ever heard before that he wanted to make love to her; that he was willing to destroy his virtue in order to gain carnal knowledge of his beloved.

Willow raised her right hand and caressed the side of Edwards’s face, her heart pounded violently within her chest as she raised her face to meet his, lips moving closer by the second until no space, no matter how small, existed.

Her warm lips molded against his ice cold ones moving in perfect unison as her hands grasped his hair fiercely, while his roamed her boy, reclaiming her voluptuous figure as his own and readying himself to give her the one thing that no one else has ever had.

His hands ventured down towards the hem of her shirt, Edward was nervous, he wanted to slip his hands underneath, to touch her bare skin but was his nerves would not allow him to do so.

Willow sensed Edward’s apprehension and discarded her own shirt, leaving her in only a black lace bra before him. She raised her gaze and found Edward staring at her as if he were staring at a priceless work of art in the Louvre.

“You’re perfection itself,” stated Edward in awe.

Her fingers found the buttons of his shirt, they began unbuttoning each button as she pressed her lips to his neck, making him inhale sharply and try to control his greatest companion that had been patiently waiting for this moment for over a century.

Willow lay back on the pillow, her wild unkempt hair scattered across the assortment of pillows that decorated Edward’s bed. She watched in awe as his pale skin glowed in the gentle moonlight, making him seem more like a God than a vampire.

She shut her eyes when she felt Edward’s ice cold breath on her neck. His lips trailed up and down her neck, his fangs trailing against her skin, savoring the flavor and feel of her hot flesh.

Slowly his lips began to move away from her neck, kissing down her chest. His arms slipped behind her back smoothly and unhooked her bra, releasing her soft pale breasts from their lace prison.

“Edward,” moaned Willow softly as his tongue flicked over her pink buds.

It had been long since she had known a man’s touch. The care and attention which Edward devoted to each breast ignited a fire deep within her which scorched her being extending to every corner, to every toe until she was nothing more than sexual energy.

His hands unbuttoned her jeans and Willow shimmied out of them. Edward sat back staring out Willow’s black panties, hidden underneath them was her sexual core, and he grew nervous.

Willow had been with other men, she had experienced a plethora of orgasms before. And here was Edward, a virgin, completely knew to the realm of sex and he was afraid of not doing things correctly, of harming her.

With one last breath Edward hooked his fingers in her panties and pulled them down. He picked up her right leg and placed it on his shoulder; he began to kiss his way up until he finally landed between her legs, at her warmth.

Willow bucked her hips when she felt Edward’s ice cold breath hovering above her warmth. It was an intoxicating sensation and she was aching for his moist tongue to begin its assault on her.

He lay down on the bed and placed her legs over his shoulders as he buried his tongue deep within her, a hand on the small of her back as the other caressed her tender breasts.

She grasped the sheets in her hands as she bucked her hips and parted her lips, letting a loud sensual moan escape her mouth. Edward smirked against her and worked harder, wanting to put her in that state again, needing to hear her moaning his name in complete and utter bliss.

Willow could no longer bear to be without Edward, she needed him deep inside of her. Her hands went on either side of his head and clutched his hair forcefully, making him stop what he was doing so that he could look her in the eyes.

Edward understood what Willow meant; he discarded his clothing and repositioned himself in between her legs. He gazed lovingly into her eyes as he pushed his way into her, the feeling of her warmth enveloping his ice cold member made him shudder slightly.

He lay there for a few minutes, growing used to her so that he would not lose his control and tear his beloved apart. Finally when he felt safe enough to continue, he carried on.

Willow wrapped her legs around his waist, his right arm held her closely as she clawed at his back with her nails, lost in the fit of pleasure that he was placing her in.

Edward lost his grip on Willow, but she clung to him kissing his neck with a fervor as Edward grabbed a pillow that was behind her and sunk his teeth in it as he grasped the headboard and continued thrusting.

He turned Willow so that she could lie on her side. Edward positioned his leg between her own, his hand on her hip as he thrust deep within her, following an agonizingly slow rhythmic pattern.

His hand clutched her breast as his pace began to quicken, keeping control under such circumstances was excruciating and the canopy that had once hung above his bed now lay tattered on the floor, victim of his passion.

Her body began to shake from the intense pleasure that Edward was giving her. Willow turned her head towards Edward, her lips parted slightly as she let out several moans.

Edward hastily covered her mouth with his own, he moved his arm away from her breast and wrapped around her waist as he gave the final thrusts.

Willows lips left Edwards, she tilted her head back as a final moan escaped her lips. Edward kissed the back of her neck, burying his face in her unkempt bronze hair as his being was transported into a state of euphoria.

She collapsed onto the bed, exhausted by the excruciatingly rigorous endeavor that they had just undergone. Willow turned to her side so she could look at Edward.

His entire body seemed to have been flooded with color, but Willow knew that it was just her imagination for Edward will always be pale as snow. Her fingers began to trail up his chest when he grabbed her hand gently and placed it over where his heart should have been beating, “My heart is yours and yours alone.”

“I love you,” she whispered as she nestled into the crook of his neck, ready to let sleep sweep her away to a far off land, though this time she knew for a fact that her dreams would not be better than her reality.

Willow awoke the following morning much warmer than she had expected to. Her green eyes fluttered open and she found herself staring at the tattered remains of the silk canopy that once hung over the bed.

She ran her hand through her unkempt hair and was surprised when she felt feathers in her hair. Her eyes widened in shock when she held the feathers in front of her and saw the bruises that were scattered across her hands.

“Had I known that have intimate relations with you was going to hurt you so, I would have never placed you in such danger,” came Edward’s pained voice.

Willow narrowed her eyes in confusion and said, “I’m not hurt though, it’s just a fucking bruise.”

“Look at the rest of your body,” he choked out, the venom yet again welling in his eyes.

She stood up from the bed and slowly made her way towards the full length mirror in the bedroom. Her jaw dropped when she saw the state that her body was in.

Her breast were a dark shade of purple, her hips had Edward’s handprints on them; she looked like an ad against domestic abuse but what shook Willow the most was that during the actual intercourse she had not felt any pain.

Edward stood a few feet from Willow, afraid of lifting his gaze and seeing the look spread across her face. During their act of intimacy he had not remembered harming her, he had torn apart pillows and massacred the canopy in order to avoid abusing her, but it wasn’t any use; she had still been harmed.

“I guess it’s a good thing that we live in year round sweater weather,” stated Willow in an attempt to lighten the mood.

“How can you say such a thing when I nearly killed you,” cried out Edward.

Willow raised her brow and said, “Don’t be so dramatic.”

“What would you rather I do? Marvel at the harm that I inflicted upon you when I swore that I would never harm you? Is that what you wish me to do?”

“No, but I don’t want you to look at me so pathetically! You’re a vampire Edward, my blood alone is enough to send you over the edge. Now add my body to that equation and I can’t help but think that we’re really lucky that I didn’t break any bones or get my blood sucked out,” the look on his face remained the same, “Edward Cullen if you don’t stop acting like such a little bitch for hurting me I’m never going to be intimate with you again and as much as you want to bitch and complain I know that you enjoyed it as much as I did.”

Edward watched as Willow glared at him and after several minutes he folded and said, “I just I can’t believe that happened.”

“Just forget about it, bruises heal in a couple days. Now let me borrow a sweater because I don’t want anyone to think that you beat me up,” she responded jokingly.

Edward handed her a fleece and couldn’t help but ask her, “Why are you so good to me?”

“Because I love you, you stupid vampire. Now I have to get home Marley needs her mommy, but if you want we could come over for dinner tonight.”

“I’d love that,” responded Edward.

Billy shot Willow a smile when she walked into the house that afternoon. There was a glow surrounding her, she smiled wider, her eyes were more brilliant and alive; she look like she used to when Jacob was alive.

Willow couldn’t help but run to Billy and hug him tightly, she pulled away and said, “Thank you so much Billy.”

“My pleasure Willow, Marley’s a nap right now so you can go get dressed.”

Marley shrieked with delight when she saw her mother sitting on the rocking chair in her room. Willow smiled brightly at her and ran over to the bed, sitting down beside her and tickling her little angel so she could hear the sound of her laugh.

“Momma what we do today,” asked Marley as she jumped on her bed.

Willow laughed and responded, “Well if you want we can go over to Edward’s house again for dinner.”

Marley shook her head frantically and ran towards her little dresser as fast as she could. She started pulling out all of the clothes and sat down on the grown, sorting to find what outfit she wanted to wear, for being only two and a half years old she was very smart.

“This momma,” shouted Marley holding up a pretty pink princess dress.

Willow stood up and took her daughter into the bathroom. She filled the tub with a little bit of water and sat Marley down inside, she proceeded to bathe her and when she was nice and clean she changed her into the pretty dress.

Edward spent the afternoon being taunted by Emmett, who kept saying, “Edward and Willow sitting in a tree f-u-c-k-i-n-g.”

Everyone thought it was funny, even Carlisle couldn’t fight the temptation to laugh but Edward kept telling Emmett to stop being so immature and to leave his and Willow’s sexual life alone, that it was private.

Emmett didn’t stop though and he had no reason to stop. Edward finally losing his virginity after one hundred and ten years was the funniest thing that he had ever heard and his taunting would last for at least another ten years.

“I’m glad you’re really happy,” said Rosalie as she sat down beside Edward in the living room.

Edward shot her a crooked grin and responded, “I don’t even think this is happiness. I feel so, so complete for the first time ever; it’s unlike anything I’ve ever experienced before.”

“Now do you get why I was always such a bitch to Bella? She was never good enough for you, and even though you thought I was just being a hard ass I knew what kind of woman you would need. Someone who’s complacent and obedient would be a good match but you would grow bored, you needed someone who would challenge you to think different and not do as you say a hundred percent of the time, you needed Willow and now you have her and you even get to be Uncle Edward to Marley. You’ve been blessed unlike any of us and you need to count your blessings. Now if you excuse me I have to go wrap some gifts up that I bought for Marley.”

“You really like her don’t you,” asked Edward.

“I love her Edward, and I’m so grateful that I get to be Auntie Rosalie and get called prettyful by an amazing little girl.”

Shortly after that Willow walked in through the door carrying Marley and the moment that Marley saw Edward she began giggling and stretched out her hands so that Edward would take her in his arms.

Edward kissed Marley’s forehead tenderly and said, “You look beautiful Marley.”

“Thanks. Where Rosalie and Alice” she asked him as she moved her head in all directions.

Alice and Rosalie walked down the stairs each carrying an assortment of gift boxes varying in size. Marley’s eyes widened and Rosalie said, “These are for you Marley.”

“Christmas passed,” responded Marley.

“Not in this house.”

Edward put Marley on the ground; she rushed over to where the gifts where and immediately began tearing the wrapping paper apart revealing the toys, the clothes, and all the other goodies that Rosalie and Alice had bought for her in Seattle.

Willow smiled at Edward, who walked over to her and placed a gentle kiss on her lips. Willow blushed and hugged him tightly, happy to have him back in her life.

“Hey Willow, I heard you have purple titties,” stated Emmett.

Willow nodded her head and asked, “You want to see them?”

“Seriously,” shouted Emmett in delight.

Willow narrowed her eyes and said, “No! What the fuck’s wrong with you! I’m not gonna show you my tits you freak! Go ask Rosalie to see hers!”

A booming laugh escaped Emmett’s lips and he said, “Ah Willow! It’s good to have you here again! Now if you excuse me I also got Marley a gift! Mine is gonna be the one she likes the most.”

They watched as Emmett disappeared and returned with a massive, and an awkwardly wrapped, gift. Marley tore it open and when she saw the gigantic pink care bear staring back at her she jumped on it and began calling the bear Coco.

They stayed for only a few hours and took a Tupperware filled with food for Billy. Billy smiled when he saw the pair walk in and shouted, “There are my girls!”

Marley ran over to her grandfather and jumped on his lap. Willow kissed his cheek and went into the kitchen to warm his food. Afterwards when Billy was sitting at the table, Willow decided to ask him, “Would you mind coming over to Edward’s house on Friday for dinner?”

“Why,” asked Billy in shock.

Willow wiped the chocolate off Marley’s face and responded, “Well I’m with him now and I know that you guys aren’t supposed to get along but I love you Billy, you’re like a second father to me and I would like you to be a part of my life with him. I don’t want to have to lose you because I’m with him.”

“Are your parents going over as well,” questioned Billy.

“Yes,” responded Willow nervously.

“Well then count me in. Ask them if they want me to bring a bottle of blood,” joked Billy.

Willow stood up from her seat and hugged Billy tightly. She loved him dearly and wanted to keep him in her life not just for Marley’s sake, but for her own.

He was a second father to her, he was Jacob’s father and it didn’t matter if Willow one day were to marry Edward, she would always want to keep her relationship with Billy strong.

The three days passed and Willow and her parents, including Billy, and Marley ventured over to the Cullen household. The Cullen’s went all out for the dinner. They cooked enough to feed an army because they were unsure of how much humans could consume.

Willow’s parents hit it off with the Cullen’s right away and although Billy was determined to not like them he ended up enjoying the time he spent with them and when he saw Willow and Marley’s smiling faces he decided that he would be as kind as he possibly could to the Cullen’s in order to keep his two girls in his life.

“Are you planning on turning her,” asked Billy when he found himself alone with Edward.

Edward shook his head and responded, “No. Willow says she wants to be able to raise Marley correctly, to not have to be away from her while the transformation occurs and her thirst is under control.”

“And you’re fine with this?”

“Of course. I want Marley to have as normal an upbringing as she can and she needs Willow in order to do that. I know you don’t hold vampires to the highest of moral standards but believe me when I say that I would never do anything to harm Marley or Willow. I swore to Jacob that I would take care of them the day that he passed and I intend to keep my word to him.”

Billy eyed Edward wearily; unsure of whether or not he could believe the young vampire but when he saw the sincerity and determination in Edward’s eyes he slowly extended his hand to Edward’s.

Edward was taken aback by Billy’s act of friendship but shook his hand and said, “Thank you.”

“Who would have thought that one day the chief and the cold one could be friendly?”

Edward smiled and responded, “It’s all Willow’s doing, she makes people see the other side of life and get passed their own preconceived notions.”

Willow watched as Billy and Edward became engrossed in conversation, she grabbed a glass of water from the table and began walking towards Billy to give it to him, but found herself growing tired as she walked.

A loud thud, took Edward and Billy out of their conversation they turned and saw Willow lying on the ground, broken pieces of glasses around her hand. Edward rushed over to her, and took her in his arms.

He gently slapped her face to try and wake her up and after a few smacks her eyes fluttered open. She looked around worriedly, when her eyes landed on Edward’s she grew calmer, “What happened?”

“You fainted,” responded Edward softly.

Willow closed her eyes and breathed heavily, she grimaced slightly from the exhaustion and a sharp pain that had suddenly struck in her womb. Edward saw Willow grab at her womb suddenly and asked, “Is something wrong?”

“No, I just need to lie down. Would you mind putting me in your room? Don’t worry Mom; I’ll be back down in no time to annoy you all.”

Edward stood up and carried Willow towards the bedroom. He set her down on the bed and brushed aside the stray strands of hair that littered her forehead, “Willow? Are you alright?”

“I am, just go downstairs Edward I’ll be down shortly,” she responded with a small smile.

When Edward left the room Willow let out an exasperated sigh. She’d been feeling weird recently. She had been getting much sleep and whenever she managed to go to sleep she would wake up with these really bad cramps. Her eating habits had also grown strange; some days she didn’t eat at all others she couldn’t stop eating.

Willow had a good guess of what was wrong with her, but she didn’t want to believe that it was possible. She was suffering from a lot of the symptoms that she had suffered when she was five months pregnant with Marley but she didn’t know if vampires could get someone pregnant.

They’re dead, but Edward could get a hard on and if he could get that hard on that meant that venom could rush to his penis and maybe, maybe his testicles were still working.

Willow stood up slowly from the bed and walked over to his full length mirror; she stood sideways and lifted her shirt. Sure enough there was an unsightly bulge protruding from her mid section. It was by no means huge but it was still there.

She placed her hand on her exposed belly and rubbed it tenderly, that’s when she felt the baby kick. It wasn’t a normal baby kick though because it made Willow have to grab onto a surrounding chair for support and grit her teeth in pain.

Edward sensed Willow’s discomfort and ran up stairs, he opened the door and when he saw the small belly on Willow he grew incredibly confused and all he could do was scream, “CARLISLE!”

Numerous tests were done over and over again in hopes of disproving the findings that the prior tests had concluded but all of them came to the exact same conclusion; Willow is pregnant with Edward’s child.

Dr. Carlisle said that Willow couldn’t go home that evening, that it would be bests if she remained there. Marley was told to leave with Billy but she started crying and Willow demanded that her daughter stay in the Cullen home but Carlisle would not allow that.

So after about a half hour of fighting Willow’s parents said that they would take care of Marley and that when Willow was better they would bring her back.

Willow’s parents took the liberty of taking Billy Black back to La Push. Carlisle tried his best to conceal his worry to the Morrison’s and Billy but he was terrified of what a child could possibly do to Willow.

The moment that the house was only filled with Cullen’s and Willow the fighting erupted. Carlisle and Edward told her that she had to give up the baby for her own safety to which Willow said, “Fuck that. I’m keeping this baby.”

“You don’t know what it could do,” shouted back Edward.

“You’re right I don’t but it’s a fucking miracle that a human and a vampire could procreate and I’m not about to kill that miracle.”

“Willow you need to be reasonable!”

“It’s my fucking body and it’s my choice NOT YOURS,” she bellowed.

Edward narrowed his eyes and said, “You’re only human and if we feel that it’s absolutely necessary for your safety to take that baby out then we’re going to do it.”

Willow grabbed a chair and flung it at Edward angrily, the child yet again kicked but Willow clenched her teeth and shouted, “Fuck you.”

Edward was about to rush Willow but when he was a few feet away he was pushed away by Rosalie and Alice, who were standing in front of Willow crouched low, ready to attack anyone who tried to get in her way.

“I’m going upstairs and if you’re gonna keep this shit up then I recommend that you don’t come anywhere near me,” spat Willow as she made her way up the Cullen stairs, followed closely by Alice and Rosalie.

Once inside Edward’s room Willow hugged the two women and said, “Thank you so much. I know you didn’t have to do that but thank you. I want this baby; I know that it’s hurting me. I’ve been feeling it for the past week but I’m not gonna give my baby up. I’m not and I want to know if I can count on you to bring this pregnancy to term; to make sure my baby is born.”

“I’d sooner die than let them lay a finger on you or the baby,” responded Rosalie.

Alice smiled and exclaimed, “I might be small but I’m willing to fight.”

Willow hugged them again and lay down on the bed. She lifted her shirt and the two women marveled at her womb, they touched her stomach and the child yet again kicked but this time the pain wasn’t so bad for her womb was numb by their ice cold touch.

She worked up the courage and asked Alice, “Can you see what happens with the baby?”

Alice closed her eyes and attempted to focus in on Willow’s future and that of her child but she got nothing. There were random bits but no clear picture, she could not see the future and it worried her.

“I can’t see a thing,” responded Alice softly.

Willow swallowed the lump in her throat and responded, “Well then. I guess I’m going to have to make my own future.”

“Is there anything you want Willow,” asked Alice.

“Do you think you could bring Marley over tomorrow? I don’t like being without her.”

“Okay.”

Early the next morning Alice drove over to the Morrison household and returned with the tiny Marley. The little girl squealed in delight when she saw her mother lying in bed, but what caught her eye was her mother’s belly.

Alice placed Marley atop the bed and Marley stared at the stomach in wonder, she looked at her mother and in asked, “Baby?”

Willow nodded her head. A beautiful smile spread across Marley’s face and she brought her lips down to her mother’s womb, giving her unborn sibling a kiss.

Marley lay on Willow’s belly talking to the child growing within her and the amazing thing was that as Marley spoke and rubbed her mother’s belly the child within remained motionless almost as if it was listening to what his or her sister was saying.

Willow began crying when she saw the tender affection with which Marley caressed her belly. She grew afraid, that maybe, maybe she would die in giving birth to her child but she shook that thought to the back of her mind when Marley said, “No cry momma. I here.”

Two weeks passed and Willow grew worse with each passing day, her condition grew so critical that she had Marley sent away to her parents house so that her child would not see her suffering so.

She could not eat anything without throwing it up. The child within was breaking her bones left and right, kicking her savagely and making her collapse at any given time; forcing Willow to be bed ridden.

Edward held onto his beloveds hand he stared at her with sad eyes, knowing very well that with each passing minute Willow grew closer to her death. The child inside her was killing her and it was too late to get it out.

Willow’s nose began to twitch when she smelled something incredibly mouth watering, “What is that smell?”

The Cullen’s began smelling and Edward responded, “I believe its deer blood that stained Jasper’s shirt.”

“Can I have some,” whispered Willow slightly ashamed at her request.

“Are you sure,” asked Edward.

Willow nodded her head and Edward stood up, he kissed her lips before running out the door and towards the forest to bring some blood home for his beloved.

When he arrived with the bowl of warm blood Willow’s mouth began to water, he was about to ask her if she wanted it in a cup but Willow snatched it from his hands and downed it down immediately.

After that day Edward brought Willow fresh blood three times every day, the color slowly began returning to her face but she was still unable to leave the bed for most of her bones were broken and she, she was in no state to be moving around.

Willow clenched her teeth as she grasped her midsection, feeling another rib be broken by the growing child. Tears streamed down her face, the pain was unbearable and she refused to let Carlisle inject her with morphine out of fear of what effects it would have on the baby.

“Edward I want to talk to my parents and Billy,” whispered Willow.

He shook his head in protest and responded, “They’ll see and they’ll know.”

“I don’t care if they know! I want them to know,” she shouted louder than she had expected to and hurt herself. Tears sprang forth from her eyes and she whispered, “Please I need them here, please.”

He was unable to deny her wish and fetched for Billy and Willow’s parents. Alice and Rosalie tried to make Willow look as normal as possible but her large belly gave away the fact that she was pregnant and the first words out of Mrs. Morrison’s mouth, “What on earth is going on here?”

“You’re gonna have to sit down for this one,” responded Willow softly.

Her parents and Billy sat down and Willow relayed the entire story to them, from the very beginning. She told them of Edward’s attraction to her blood, of Jacob’s imprinting, and of her getting pregnant with the vampires baby.

Her parents laughed and told her to stop smoking because it was making her lose her mind. To which Willow responded by raising her shirt and making them touch her belly, when the child kicked they grew quiet and asked the one question that everyone was thinking, “Will you live?”

“I don’t know,” choked out Willow, “I might die, I don’t know what’s gonna happen and I’m scared that’s why I called you guys here. I wanted to tell you what was going on and I wanted to ask you that if anything happens to me if you would please take care of Marley and tell her that her mother loves her.”

The Morrison’s began crying violently and Billy just sat there lost in thought. After four hours Mr. and Mrs. Morrison left because Mr. Morrison had a Doctor’s appointment but they swore that they would soon return.

When they left Billy grabbed Willow’s hand and said, “The wonderful thing about vampires is that they have the ability to turn those they love when they are in dire peril.”

With that Billy kissed her hand and wheeled himself out of the bedroom. It was safe to say that Willow had not considered that option that she had only thought of death but had not considered being turned.

When everyone left Edward returned to the bedroom, his hair messy, his eyes carrying a sorrow, and his smile nonexistent. Willow glared at him and said, “If you’re going to be in here moping around you can fucking leaving. I need to be distracted not reminded of the gravity of the situation!”

“I can’t be happy when you’re so miserable. Had I know Willow, I would have never done that.”

“This child is a miracle and it’s time you stopped hating our child and started loving it,” Willow yanked his hand and pressed it to her womb, the child kicked softly almost as if it knew that their father was holding them. Edward stared at Willow wide eyed, she then said, “Talk to them.”

He spent that night talking to the baby, and when Willow fell asleep he softly whispered, “Please don’t kill your mother she’s the most amazing woman on earth and you need her, I need her.”

A few hours later the violent screaming began, the Morrison’s tried to rush up the stairs but Jasper told them to stay that they would only be in Carlisle’s way if they want upstairs.

When Carlisle walked into the room, he found Willow thrashing around on the bed, gripping onto Edward’s hand as she screamed violently; it was reminiscent of someone screaming when they’re being operated on while they’re awake with no anesthesia.

“DO THE FUCKING C-SECTION ALREADY,” shouted Willow afterwards biting her hand to keep herself from screaming.

Carlisle did not have the morphine ready he told Willow and she screamed at him telling him to just fucking do it already. Carlisle began the c-section trying to work as quickly as he could but it was not fast enough.

Willow fell against the bed, crying out for him to save the baby, for him to save the baby. Willow fought to stay alive long enough to see her baby and when Carlisle pulled out the beautiful baby boy, Willow began crying and kissed its head over and over again trying to stay conscious not wanting to die.

Her baby had just been born but he knew what was going on, he had been hearing all about it from the safety of his mother’s wound and he bit her. Edward pulled his son away from Willow and gave him to Carlisle.

“Willow, please stay with me,” he pleaded desperately.

She opened her mouth to speak but fell unconscious instead. Edward, unable to live in a world without Willow, began biting her repetitively across her body. Licking the bites so that the venom would stay within her and she would not lose anymore blood.

When he had bitten her all throughout her chest, her abdomen her neck, he finally sat back and took her hand in his not wanting to move for fear that something might go wrong and she would not be saved.

Pain unlike any that Willow had ever suffered coursed through her being; she thought that the worst had been over but apparently she had gone to hell and was paying for whatever sins she had committed and not atoned for.

As she experienced the fire she could not help but pray that her children would grow up to be generous, loving, and accepting people; that they would start families of their own one day and know that their mother loved them above all else.

Edward’s eyes widened when he felt Willow’s skin losing its warmth, he pressed his ear against her heart and sure enough it was slowing down; he had managed to save her from death.

Willow’s flooded open and was taken aback by the vibrancy of the colors surrounding her. She looked to her right and saw Edward sitting there a scared look across his handsome face; she reached out to touch him and was shocked by the warmth of his being.

“You,” she began but was unable to finish her sentence.

Edward held her hand and said, “I’m sorry. I know that you said that you wanted to stay human but I couldn’t let you die. The kids need you, your family needs you, I need you.”

“Thank you,” she responded.

Edward attempted to move in for a kiss but Willow stopped him and said, “I don’t mean to sound rude but my throats on fucking fire and I’d like some blood.”

He grabbed her hand and opened the window, helping her leap onto the ground and they took off running for the first time Edward had to keep up with Willow. They ran deep into the forest and without telling her how to hunt Willow leapt and took down a bear sinking her teeth to its neck and draining it of its blood.

“Now we can kiss,” stated Willow with a smirk on her face eager to learn how Edward kisses when he doesn’t have to worry about her safety.

She latched her lips to hungrily, this time Edward was the one bit down on her lip making her open her mouth. His hands roughly grazed her body, and Willow couldn’t help but want more of them, which resulted in a few trees being knocked over prematurely.

After they had composed themselves Willow inquired after her children. Edward told her that Marley was at her mothers and that their son was at the Cullen home.

He didn’t get a chance to say anything else for Willow was running home as fast as she could. She stepped out of the forest and the suns rays made her flesh sparkle, that’s when she saw a little boy who looked about three running towards her, his bronze hair and green eyes letting her know that he was her little boy.

Willow got down on her knees and let her son run into her, wrapping his arms tightly around her neck and kissing her face all over. Willow just held him close to her, she could smell the blood coursing through his veins but it wasn’t the least bit appealing.

“Momma,” exclaimed the little boy.

Willow nodded her head and kissed her forehead lovingly. Edward sat down on the ground beside them he rubbed his sons head and stated, “All we need is Jade for this picture to be complete.”

“How long will it be before I can be around her again,” she asked.

“I don’t know. I’d say when your eyes turn golden and you can control your thirst you’ll be able to but if it makes you feel any better she was over yesterday and she was playing with our son here. They’ve taken to each other very well.”

Willow attempted to be from Marley for her own safety, but she only lasted a month before she journeyed to her parent’s house and stood outside staring into the window. Watching as Marley played on the ground and her parents and Billy talked.

Edward saw the look in her eyes and said, “I think you deserve to go inside.”

“But what if I lose control,” she asked timidly.

“Emmett and I are here, if you start losing it then we’ll take you away.”

Willow nodded her head and the three of them walked to the front door. She knocked on it gently and the door was opened by her mother, whose jaw immediately dropped and could not believe that the flawless creature standing before her was her daughter.

Completely throwing caution to the wind, Mrs. Morrison wrapped her daughter into a tight embrace. Willow momentarily grew tense, she would be lying if she said that her mother’s blood wasn’t tempting but she refused to feed on her family.

“MOMMA,” came Marley’s voice.

Willow stepped aside and ran in; she picked up her daughter in a warm embrace and buried her hair in her daughter’s long jet black hair. She pulled away and was amazed by the fact that Marley’s blood did not tempt her it was as if the child was free from blood, she figured that it was because she came from her and would most likely be carrying her father’s wolf gene.

“Never leave again,” said Marley with a pout.

Willow shot her daughter a dazzling smile and said, “Mommy will never leave you again. I promise my love.”

Later that night Marley returned to the Cullen household with her mother and Edward. They put her to sleep in a bed that Alice had placed in their room.

Willow watched as her son lay in her arms. Edward stared at them and asked, “What should we name him?”

There was only one name that Willow wanted to name her son, but she couldn’t help but think that Edward might think that it’s inappropriate.

He sat down beside Willow and said, “He was a great man Willow, a noble man with a great heart and naming our son after him is something that I wanted to do from the moment that our son was born.”

Willow kissed his lips before turning to her son and saying, “Hello Jake.”

As a result of Willow’s transformation, she and Jacob’s daughter and Billy’s claim as chief of the tribe true peace with the Cullen’s was established and they were now free to step on La Push territory.

Willow and Edward were married one year later in the backyard of the Cullen home. It was a small intimate wedding, filled with only their immediate family and Willow’s shape shifting friends from La Push.

Marley was the flower girl and Jacob was the ring bearer. Cullen’s and shape shifters comprised the wedding party and smiles came from humans, vampires, and shape shifters alike as the young couple said I do.

After the reception Willow and Edward put Marley and Jacob into their car seats and began the long drive down to Venice Beach where they would be celebrating their honeymoon for a week before they went back up to Forks.

As soon as the sunset Willow and her family made their way out towards the beach. Willow stood beside Edward, his free hand wrapped around his wife’s shoulder, his other arm busy holding Marley. They smiled softly as they watched their son running into the ocean in front of them.

Willow closed her eyes and remembered a time when Jacob and she had brought Marley to the beach. At that moment a soft warm breeze caressed the side of Willow’s face and she swore she heard Jacob’s voice. Willow began smiling which led to her laughing and she captivated humans and vampires alike with the beauty of her laugh.

Her mother had been right, life had been hard on Willow, harder than it had ever been or would ever be on her brother but at the end of the day her happiness was incandescent. [The End]
