Mother Nature 17

“What do we need a meeting for?”Kate asked as she walked into the living room with her puppy trailing behind her.The group had been home for a few hours and everyone had taken time to get unpacked and moved in.Kate thought they would have time to relax before having any kind of meetings and was upset when she saw Isabella sitting on a couch in-between Rosalie and Tanya.Kate had hoped that the woman would have left a while ago.

“Everyone get settled and we will tell you.”Tanya frowned at the muddy footprints that not only the dog but Kate tracked in with her.”And after this meeting you will clean up after your pet and give it a bath.It’s filthy and you have made a mess.”

Kate rolled her eyes.”Yes, mother.”

“Don’t sit down Kate.You are covered in mud and it will wreck the furniture.”Carmen was going to have to speak to Tanya about setting rules for the dog.If not Kate and the beast would ruin the house.

“If you guys just called a meeting to scold me then I’m going back outside.”Kate wasn’t going to put up with be ganged up on.

“We aren’t trying to scold you Kate.That being said after this meeting you and I are going to have a discussion on your responsibilities now that you have a pet.”Tanya cut Kate off before she could complain.”If you want to keep your dog you will follow the rules.If not then I’m sure that Isabella could find someone else who will love the dog just as much as you do.”

Kate huffed.”Fine.”

“Now that that’s out the way, what is this meeting about?”Edith asked.

“First how is everyone settling in.Are there any comments, concerns or complaints?”Tanya figured getting the little stuff out of the way first was a good idea.

“We were wondering if it would be alright to change out the decorations in our rooms.”Alice liked her room but wanted to make it more like home.

“That’s perfectly fine.If you need any help you know any one of us would be happy to assist.”Tanya had figured that each couple would want to make their rooms their own.”This is your home now and we want you to feel comfortable.”

“Thank you.”Edith was happy that things were already going well.She and the others had been worried about how the dynamic was going to change when they officially became Denali but so far things had been going smoother than when they were Cullens.Carlisle would have made them check in with him for any change they made to any space of the house even their own rooms.

“Is there anything else anyone wants to bring up?”Tanya asked.

”We don’t have any immediate items to speak about but we were wondering what your plan was on how to deal with Carlisle.”Jasper knew that some kind of plan was made.If not by Tanya than by Isabella.

“Before we speak about that myself and Rosalie need to tell you about something.”Tanya smiled when she felt Rosalie take her hand.

“Why are the three of you looking all happy and lovey?”Kate asked suspiciously.

“Because Isabella has given myself and Tanya a way to fulfill our greatest wish.”Rosalie said.

“What would that be?”Irina didn’t know what Tanya and Rosalie would both consider their greatest wish.

“With Isabella’s help myself and Tanya will be able to have children.”Rosalie expected the stunned faces of the vampires in the room with them.She had been stunned as well.

“Are you serious?”Carmen asked.

“Completely serious.”Tanya confirmed.

“We are going to have babies!!”Alice squealed as she rushed towards Rosalie and hugged her.”This is so exciting!!”

“I can’t believe it.I’m going to be an aunt.”Kate was already planning all the fun stuff she was going to teach the children.

“How does that work?I mean you guys are vampires.Is Isabella going to have the kids?”Emmett didn’t know how it would be possible for a vampire to have a baby.

“No, I will not be carrying the baby.With a gift from my father I will be able to pass on my genetic material to both Rosalie and Tanya.Their bodies would adapt to the pregnancy like they were human.”Isabella explained.

“So will they be vampires?”Eleazar was fascinated by the idea of a vampire having a child.It was something that many of his kind had tried to do and the fact that it was going to happen in his own coven was incredible.

Isabella shook her head.”No they will carry the traits of their human mothers as well as my traits as the Goddess of Life.”

“So they will be demigods?”Jasper asked.

“Yes, they will have abilities that come from myself.Since Tanya and Rosalie are not gifted they will not having any gifts related to them.”Isabella told them.

“I can’t believe you guys are going to have babies.”Irina hated that she was jealous of her sister.Having a baby was what her and Tanya had always wanted.

Tanya knew exactly what Irina was thinking.They had many discussions over the years of their dreams and desires in life.Standing from her seat she took Irina in her arms and whispered in her ear.”The children will need you just as much as they need us.We won’t keep them from you.You will be just as involved as anyone.”

“Thank you.”Irina felt better knowing Tanya wasn’t going to shut them out of the children’s lives.Irina would just make sure that she was the favorite aunt.The person that the kids went to when they couldn’t talk to their mothers.That was just as an important role and Irina knew she would be the perfect person to fill it.

“Are you pregnant right now?”Alice asked.

Rosalie chuckled at the blush on Isabella’s face.”No, we are waiting until we know each other a little better.”

“That and we want to have some things set up before we move forward.”Tanya said.

“You aren’t just thinking of Carlisle are you?”Jasper asked.

“No, Carlisle is of little worry to us.What we are truly concerned about is the Volturi.”Rosalie told them.

“That’s a valid concern.I doubt that they will stand aside knowing that we have a goddess in our coven.”Edith figured as soon as the royals found out they would be sending people to investigate.

“And with Carlisle running off trying to find allies to fight Isabella then it’s only a matter of time before word gets out.”Carmen concluded.

“Exactly.That’s why we want to start training.We need to be ready to not only defend ourselves against those who come after us but when the children come we need to be able to keep them safe.”From the looks of determination on each of the vampire’s faces Tanya knew that they would all be willing to fight.

“They aren’t getting to my nieces or nephews!!”Kate wouldn’t let anyone touch a hair on the children’s head.

“They will be girls.”Noticing the confused expression Isabella explained.”I am a female goddess having a child with a female mortal.No male involved so they children will be female.”

“Yes!! Now I can dress them in so many cute outfits.”Alice cheered.

“We will discuss what to dress them in later.Now we have more important things to talk about.”Rosalie would have to get ahead of Alice’s shopping or she wouldn’t get a chance to dress her own daughters.She smiled at the thought.She was going to have two little girls to raise with her mates and her crazy family.She wouldn’t have cared if the child was a boy but when she dreamed of having a child she always envisioned a little blond haired girl that looked just like her.

“So when do you want to start training?”Jasper asked.He wasn’t the most sensitive man but that didn’t mean he wasn’t excited to have some children around.Them being Isabella’s children made him want to protect them even more.The woman gave Jasper a great gift and he wasn’t going to let anything happen to anyone attached to the goddess.

“I was hoping you and Kate could set up a training schedule.”Tanya wanted the most experienced in charge of the training.That way they were all held to a higher level.

“I hope you all know we aren’t going to go easy on you.”Kate wasn’t going to let anyone slack off because the safety of her family was at stake.

“None of us want you to.”Emmett wasn’t the smartest of the group but he was a defender.It was his role in the Cullens and he would be damned if he didn’t step up in his new coven.Especially when there was young children involved.He and Edith weren’t the type to want children of their own but he was more than happy being the fun uncle.He couldn’t wait to spoil his nieces rotten and he would destroy anyone who got in the way of that.Even if he had to take on the entire Volturi by himself.

“I’m also looking into a way to get expired blood bags.We can steal of course but I think getting regular shipments would be a better idea.For that I’ll need someone to work on setting up a storage space to store the blood.That is for here.I will also need help setting up a proper business to pass any inspections.”Tanya told them.

“Why do we need all that?”Alice asked.

“I’m creating a company with the mission statement of properly destroying expired and contaminated blood.To make everything official we need to look like we are an actual legal company.If we want to keep this up long term then we need to have an actual disposal center.”Tanya explained.”I wouldn’t put this much effort into this but we want this as a long term.If it meant we just need a few bags I wouldn’t care but we are talking about needing blood for everyone in this room.That’s a lot of blood unless you all want to start killing humans.”

“No, none of us want to kill humans.”Carmen didn’t want to have to deal with body disposal and worrying about getting caught.

“Then you all understand why I need help to do this.I know we are just settling in together as a coven and weren’t put together for the most positive of reasons.That being said I do consider everyone in this room family.If I didn’t then I wouldn’t even tell you about the children.If I didn’t trust each of you with their lives Rosalie and I would have left you and gone off on our own.I know that what is to come will be stressful and could possible end with some of us getting hurt or even in the most unlikely of cases getting killed.Don’t make the decision to help us lightly.Yes, we do have the Goddess of Life on our side but she won’t be able to be here all the time.What is to come is dangerous and I would not hold it against any of you to not want to be involved.”Tanya said giving everyone a choice.

“I don’t know about the others but we are helping.”Edith looked to Emmet who nodded in agreement.

“You know we are in.”Jasper said.

“Yeah no way am I letting a bunch dusty old vampires take the chance of us having babies away from all of us.”Alice agreed.

“I would stand against the devil himself to defend you.”Kate said dramatically.

Carmen took Eleazar’s hand in her own.“We are always on your side.”

“Someone has to protect Kate.”Irina joked.

“Hey.”Kate yelled outraged.

“Thank you all.”Rosalie choked out through the emotions tightening her chest.

“I thank you as well and want you to know that even though I will not be able to be here all the time I do have others who will come to our aide when I am not able.”Isabella knew that her family and friends would happily look out for her little family.Most had already reached out overjoyed that she was given mates that she actually accepted.

“That being said.Why doesn’t everyone break off to start on our tasks.Not only do we know you all are excited about having babies around but Rosalie and myself are excited as well.We will however be waiting until we feel more secure to actually conceive.Lots of things need to happen before we are comfortable.”Tanya would have to discuss with Rosalie and Isabella about maybe only having Rosalie or Tanya pregnant at once.That way only one of them would be vulnerable at a time.

“Come on Japer let’s go outside and work on an area we need to train in.”Kate was excited by the opportunity to train everyone and wanted to get started right away.

“I’ll come with you.”Emmett said.

“I’m going to go work on my room.”Alice said as she watched Jasper and Emmett follow Kate out of the room.

“I’ll help you with the blood bag business.”Edith figured she would be more valuable with that as she had run some businesses through out her life.

“I’ll hang out with Isabella and Rosalie.We can start planning on where to put the nursery.”Irina was looking forward to helping decorate the babies’ rooms.

“I’m going to call a few contacts and inquire about any rumors of what Carlisle is up to or if anyone has heard of Isabella.”Eleazar knew that if Carlisle was running his mouth then some of his friends would have heard.

“I’ll help with the business.”Camren managed most of the coven’s businesses and knew she could be the most help working with Tanya.

“We’ll stay here with Irina.”Rosalie wished that she could have some alone time with her mates but what they were doing was important.

“Alright I’ll try to hurry.”Tanya kissed Isabella softly followed by kissing Rosalie.She didn’t want to leave her mates but they needed to prepare for what was coming.The thought of anyone hurting her children made the venom in her veins boil.She knew that her family would always have her back but with each declaration of support Tanya felt more secure.The Cullen children were the wild cards but when told of the danger the fierceness in their eyes and their urges to protect made Tanya more comfortable with accepting them into the coven.The future may be unknown but Tanya wasn’t worried.She had her family old and new and Isabella brought with her the might of many gods and goddesses.Anyone who tried to hurt them would be stupid.
