Elemental Goddess

Chapter 52: Opened The Floodgates
JBPOV:
The wolves were all quiet in their heads today, for once. Bella knew the pack would see her private moments if I was in the room, but she still let me stay. The whole day has been truly an honor... and the silence from the pack mind all day has been kind of a tribute to that, I think.
They have seen everything as I see it. All of them were shocked to see the tenderness and care the Major had for Bella. We knew he would never hurt her, but to see the whole process... even if he didn't spank her or anything... you could tell she totally submitted her body and soul to him. In return, he treated it as the precious gift it was. I personally think that Major is just as wrapped around her as his alternate persona, Jasper, is.
All of them are so gentle with her... especially Peter, with all the raw passion that was flowing through the room. Holy hell... Char and Bella? Even Leah and the other girls in the pack saw the beauty of them together. Each one of the pack members could see that the goddess ruled over the sexual part of Bella. There was no denying that fact, as it was clear as day the second things turned slightly intimate.
The thing was, not one of us saw it as an up close and in-person porn show, as most people would think. This was us learning more of the goddess. Seeing her in her natural state with her mates. It was a chance to know her more closely, be a part of the love of four incredible beings.
The emotional dampening scared the shit out of us, though. I tried to get her to understand earlier. I just hope she gets it. Jasper needs to be able to feel her at all times. If Bella were to dampen her emotions at the wrong time, we could be literally looking at nuclear WW3 with just her powers alone... with any one of us getting caught in the crossfire. The thing that scared me the most was that she didn't even realise it. She said she was trying to keep a leash on her orgasm, so to speak. Her emotional dampening was tied to a physical need. I needed to talk to the elders about this, but I wouldn't have the chance until Bella's triple love day was over.
That was another thing. I had listened in when the family was explaining the love day and bond thing with vampires. It was similar in many ways to imprinting. Vampires usually only get one mate in their existence. Bella having three mates and three mate bonds of equal strength was unheard of… very extraordinary. For a mortal to be tied so tightly to not one, but three vampires, was even more baffling to everyone.
Their relationship and bonds are completely unique in the vampire world... the whole supernatural world, for that matter. We know it is tied to the elements. One mate per element that she wasn't born with. We don't know how deep it will grow to be, but everyone suspects, even the other vampires and elders, that their bonds will be the deepest -as well as the strongest- the supernatural world has ever seen. Bella has always been a very loving soul, so it really shouldn't surprise any of us.
I thought back to the days not so long ago, that she would be helping Emily in her and Sam's small kitchen, getting food ready for the pack members and taking charge of things. It was funny when she did that the first time at the main house. Warning Charlie and the other elders to back away from all the food when she called for the pack to come and get it. The way their eyes bugged out when they saw how fast the food disappeared, but how Bella just laughed and went with it. She's a pack Mama already... she has been for a while. I know she will be a great Mom to Jasper and Peter's sons, as well as any other children they have in the future.
The way she treats her mates... letting them feed from her... it proves she will do anything for the ones she loves. I feel extremely lucky and proud to be counted as one of those she loves.
She was meditating. Jasper was talking to Peter about the twins. He wanted to know if Peter thinks they will look like them or Bella or a combination of them. Jasper said he hopes they have Bella's chocolate hair and pale skin tone, but Peter said he hopes they have the strength and powers for fighting that they do... especially with the world they will be born into, along with the destinies they are supposed to have.
I know that the four main wolves will have a role to play when the time comes, but I don't know how. It's just a feeling... a really strong feeling. I know my place is with Bella… it always will be. I have loved her for as long as I can remember... even before I knew about the Goddess Elemental or any of the wolf business. I was born to love her, to protect her, to be near her always.
I feel extremely privileged to be a part of her life so closely. Her mates have been very accommodating to me sticking my nose in their private lives. I have seen every detail of their intimate lives lately, yet they don't seem to mind. I get the sense that I really belong with them, that they feel it too.
I know Jasper is an empath, and I really want to thank them.
I tried to send him my gratitude, my sense of belonging. He snapped his head over to me, leveling his head to mine. He patted my head, "You belong here, Jake. All three of us feel it just as much as Bella. We know you would do anything for her, just as we would. Protector or not, you belong with the four of us. You know that, right?"
I sent him my gratitude and acceptance, which made him smile. I sent him my feeling of completeness, then he said softly, "Yes, we feel it too, Jake. The feeling of being complete with you here."
He scratched behind my ears, and... oh, that felt good.
I tilted my head towards him more, so he chuckled, "Feel good? Bella loves the feel of your fur in wolf form, you know. Has she ever told you that? She likes the silky texture. That's why she likes running her fingers through your fur."
My tongue lolled out as I sent him the feeling that I get when Bella runs her fingers through my fur. I love when she does that. It's like a special caress she has just for me.
He smiled in response, "That's how it makes you feel, I know. I get a similar feeling when she runs her fingers up my spine, or when she traces or kisses certain scars I have. You'll hear us purr when she gives us our own special caress. She used to sleep straddling my lap with her head on my chest, before we left for Texas. One time, Peter held her through the night, instead of me. She woke up in the morning, immediately knowing it was him. She said first it was his scent, before she even opened her eyes. Then she tried to trace his spine, but he didn't purr like I would have. The last thing she did was try to kiss the certain scar she likes best, but still no purr. She told Peter good morning then, while opening her eyes. She had to explain how she knew it was him, then it became an interesting morning, to say the least. That was the mornin' Peter claimed her as a mate. You know what happened after that."
I nodded as I leaned further into his hand, eager to learn more of her missing time, so he continued, "I felt her need to be claimed, but didn't understand, as I didn't know we could have more than one mate. The need was so strong, though. She broke down, feeling utterly destroyed, saying she knew we didn't get more than one, but she couldn't help how she felt. She begged him to claim her, and he did, with me in the room. It was very erotic. You've witnessed what the passion between the two of them can be like... yet that wasn't even during a claiming. Him claiming her was a hundred times more intense... and so damn hot. I think her claiming Char was hotter, though. To see Bella with all that power and possessiveness over her was completely amazing. Char was hers, and she made damn sure Char knew it. It was like emotionally, she was in Major's place with Char."
Wow. Just... wow. I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like to witness that.
Just then, Embry let me know that Edward and Doc Cullen had finished the tests for Bella. They wanted to know if it was a good time to come. Shit, how was I supposed to tell him without phasing?
Oh, I know.
I ran my nose up to her elbow and whined. All three of them looked at me before Jasper asked, "What is it, Jake?"
I nuzzled my nose against where they drew the blood, and then padded over to the sample cups on the nightstand. Char was the one to speak up, "Jake, are you trying to tell us that Edward and Carlisle are done testing?"
I nodded as I went to my previous spot against Bella's hand, then Jasper asked, "Are they wanting to come out? "
I nodded so he said, "Tell them that we'll send for them as soon as Bella is done meditating."
I nodded, then relayed the message to Embry.
He let me know that it was fine. I nodded to Jasper, then licked Bella's palm. She responded sleepily, "Love you too, Jake."
I knew she was meditating and that she was aware, but I didn't expect her to respond. Jasper smiled, "You can communicate with her in this state. That's a very good thing. If anything is wrong during her meditation and we are not with her for some reason, you can reach her. She doesn't respond to just anyone, even though she is aware. Actually, have Edward and Carlisle come now... we need to test to see if they can reach her. Seeing as they are her doctors, it would be beneficial if they could. We should know either way, sooner rather than later."
I nodded, then sent Embry the message that they needed to come but be cautious that she was still meditating... not to startle her. As soon as I finished, Bella said slowly, "Carlisle and Edward. Good to test. Need to know."
She knew what was planned and was okay with it. That was good. They arrived just after Jasper pulled the sheet over all of their hips. They approached quietly, with Carlisle saying softly, "We could have waited for her to come to. We would like to talk to all of you about the results. Is she alright?"
Jasper smiled, "Yes, she's fine. It's her normal meditative state, but we need to find out -with you two being her doctors- if she will respond to you in this state. It may be needed in the future, so we should know if you can reach her."
Carlisle nodded, "Yes, that would be beneficial. Who would you like to try first?"
Peter said, "You should go first, Carlisle. She's been your patient longer."
Doc nodded, then came over to sit on the very edge of the bed near me. He said softly, "Bella. I need you to try and answer me. Do you know who I am? Listen to my voice, tell me if you recognise me."
Bella snickered, still in her sleep state, "Silly Carlisle. I would know you anywhere."
Everyone laughed softly as Doc said, "Very good, Bella. Thank you."
Doc got up for Edward to take in his place. "Bella, can you hear me? Let me know if you can hear me, Sweetheart."
Bella didn't respond. Edward's face sunk, but then he got an idea. He touched her arm lightly, then started humming a pretty tune I remember Bella humming before. Bella responded immediately but weakly, "Edward... talk to me. Need to recognise."
He smiled as he said, "Yes, Bella. Edward. Do you remember when I wrote you that lullaby?"
After a minute, Bella said softly, "Played for me... first time in big house... main house... so beautiful... lullaby."
He smiled, then said, "Yes, Bella. I played it for you the first time I brought you to the main house. The night you met everyone. Do you know why I wrote the lullaby for you?"
Sooner than the last time, Bella responded, "No, but I know... I remember... I slept better when you would hum it as I fell asleep at night."
Edward looked to Jasper, who nodded after a second. Edward said then, "Bella, I wrote the lullaby so you would sleep peacefully until you were able to be with Jasper. I know we haven't talked yet, but I wrote the lullaby because you wanted me to stay at night, but I knew you wouldn't sleep peacefully after you met Jasper unless I helped. The lullaby helped you get the rest you needed until you could be with him."
It took Bella longer to respond, "S'kay. It helped keep the dreams away. So many dreams. Know now. Dreams of Jasper. Dreams of the mate I couldn't be with. Didn't hurt as much with the lullaby. What else? Seeing missing pieces... tell me more."
Jasper nodded. I guess they were going to have their talk with her meditating. Edward said, "I never wanted to hurt you. Never, Bella. I swear. Alice told me that it was the only way for you to believe. The only way Jasper would come to you. Everything got so messed up when we met James, Victoria, and Laurant. That was what changed everything, I think. So many things could have been avoided or done differently, but I can't take any of it back now. I'm so sorry, Bella. So sorry I hurt you. I only wanted you to be happy with Jasper. Jasper has truly been family to me, and I just wanted him to have a true mate. Alice knew it was you, but that we couldn't be together until you could be with Jasper. It was dangerous with you being my singer, but after Phoenix, I knew I could never hurt you physically. Having to remove James' venom from your blood... it killed me to have to do that, when Jasper should have been the one caring for you. I'm so sorry."
Bella responded quickly, but said slowly, "Edward... told Alice... no more hiding and not finding someone to give other options. Too many people... caught up... hurt in it. You took care of me... protected me until... I have my Jazz. Were supposed to...make love... Pheonix our feelings... changed because Alice stopped looking. Not mad. S'kay now... no more apologies. Just playful and doctor like you're meant to be. Like supposed to be all along. Hum lullaby please."
Edward bent over to kiss her temple, whispering, "Anything for you, Sweetheart."
He hummed her lullaby for about 30 minutes before she started to stir.
BPOV:
I saw so many things during my meditation. Missing pieces that needed to be filled in, as well as flashes of the future. Edward's lullaby seemed to work the opposite way now from when I truly slept. Now it helped bring the visions and information to me, where before it kept the dreams away.
When everything seemed to settle in the right place, I started coming to. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jake's nose on my palm, my mates still curled around me, Edward with his hand on my arm sitting at the edge of the bed, and Carlisle sitting in the armchair near the bed. I smiled up at Edward, "Thank you. The lullaby brings the visions and missing pieces to me now, instead of the other way around. You're a catalyst for me. I may need contact with you during some of my meditations. I hope you don't mind."
He shook his head with a bright smile, "Don't even think on it, Sweetheart. You know I'd do anything you asked. Thank you, Bella... for allowing me to still be a part of your life after all the mistakes that have been made..."
I cut him off, "Edward, that's just it. They were mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. Just make sure you and Ali learn from this, don't repeat the mistakes that were made, and all will be fine. There is too much at stake here for us to all be pulled apart from what happened. We need to stick together like the family we are. Let the past be the past."
Edward looked like he would be crying, so I placed my hand on his cheek. He kissed my palm, then leaned into it whispering, "I promise, Bella. We've both learned from this. I swear it."
He closed his eyes as I stroked his cheek, then smiled brightly. He opened his eyes again, kissed my palm, then said, "I can sense the twins. I can't hear them, per say, but I can sense them. Their presences are strong."
I smiled along with my three mates. I looked to see that Carlisle was still sitting quietly, so I motioned to him, "Come on, Carlisle. Grab a spot on the bed. You and Edward can fill us in on the test results."
He smiled widely, then sat near my feet. He picked them up to place them on his legs, massaging them as he spoke, "The test results were astounding, Bella. We went over them several times to make sure we didn't miscalculate. You were right about the blood in your intimate fluids. There was no trace, which is a very good thing. We did the nutrient tests, and couldn't believe the results. The first one has the same nutrient count as your regular breast milk, Bella... but what caught us more off guard, was that the last two had double the nutrient count of your breast milk during orgasm. Astounding results. As your mates pleasure you, they are also getting what they need to thrive. Technically, they could live off your multiple orgasms alone. They will never want for anything else as long as they are pleasing and drinking from you."
I smiled widely, "Good, I'm so glad. I knew the results would be in our favor, but I didn't think they'd be that good. Now we know for sure that they won't need to ever return to hunting... that I can supply for all their needs. That's what I wanted."
I looked to my mates, who all smiled softly. Edward said next, "We did every test we could on the amount of blood I drew from you. I have to say, I was speechless. Bella, you have to understand... things you could never have come in contact with in the U.S, you have antibodies in your blood for.”
My mates all gasped, but I smiled, "I do understand, Edward. It's part of the Goddess. She told me, during the final part of my physical transformation, that I would never get sick as long as 'my elements were exposed to the elements'. This would go along with that. I think my elements draw the immunity to them. My question to you is, are the babies getting the immunities from me? Will they get it from the breast milk?"
Edward grinned as he said, "We had the same question, so we went back to test the last non-orgasm breast milk. We believe the babies will get the immunities from it, because even if they don't get it from the blood after you're turned, the immunities are in the milk itself. You are the perfect picture of health, Bella. We tested for anything we could think of, and you have a natural immunity to it. It's astounding. We could find the cure for so many diseases from your blood."
That's when it hit me... the reason they needed to do the blood tests in the first place. I gasped, "You're supposed to. That's why I felt you needed to run the blood tests, I just didn't realise it before. We'll need to draw more blood... as much as is safe. That's why I've been drawing more energy today. To boost my blood production. You'll be able to safely draw twice the amount of a normal donation. You need to go get the supplies, then we need to do the draw while I get energy from the earth. We need to do it while I'm in the grass just outside the door."
Carlisle asked excitedly, "Really, Bella? You'd allow us to do this?"
I nodded, "Yes, there's more to it than just finding the cures. I feel it. Something is going on... something that could wipe out millions of people. Shit..."
My eyes snapped to Edward's quickly as I said in a rush, "Edward, after the blood draw, I need you to help me meditate again. I need to see. Alice needs to be with us, too. Bring her back with you when you gather the supplies. We need to hurry. Go, quickly."
He kissed my temple, then dashed out the door.
"Jake, gather the elders and the top 4 wolves, other than you and Quil. He'll need to lead the rest while I meditate, but those 4, the elders, and Charlie need to be here with us. Have them come with Edward and Alice. I'm going to need certain things for this to work, and we'll have to prepare people. Shit... have someone tell Alice I'll need a backless, very thin sundress from the Earth Collection."
Jake nodded, licked my palm, then went out the glass door.
I heard his Alpha howl to claim attention a few seconds later. It felt like the whole world stilled to listen to him. I looked to Carlisle. "I'll need you to do something for me. Esme needs to stay at the main house for this, so I'll need you to make as many smoothies for me as you possibly can. Char won't be able to, because she will need to be touching me during the process. She can show you how to make them now, if you need her to. All of the extracts need to be in each batch."
He nodded to Char, so she kissed my temple quickly before throwing her robe on and taking Carlisle to the kitchen.
I looked to Jasper and Peter, seeing the wary look in Peter's eyes. I knew he was worried as hell, so I kissed him full on the mouth, then whispered, "Baby, listen. Nothing is wrong... I just need to see. Edward opened a floodgate when he hummed my lullaby. There's so much. I'll need you three to emotionally ground me and feed me emotions, while the earth physically grounds me and feeds me energy. This is going to be crazy looking to everyone with what has to be done. That's why the people that have to be here need to be prepared. The twins and I will be fine through the whole thing, I swear it. I just know there's only one way to get the information I need. Please don't be worried."
He kissed me softly, "I just don't want anythin’ to happen to ya or the babies. I have this feelin' like you're gonna physically be bound to the earth through this, but I don't know if I like that."
Jasper looked at him wide-eyed, so I cupped both of their cheeks. "Yes, I will be physically bound to the earth. Vines of my choosing will wrap around my ankles and wrists. They will have to, so that they can feed me energy. I won't be able to draw from the earth. That means I have to be wrapped in it, so that it can feed me. I will explain everything before we start, but please know that the earth would never hurt me. Hurting me would be hurting itself."
Just then, the elders showed up with Edward, Alice, and Charlie. Jake came to the bed as the wolves stationed themselves at the door. The elders and Charlie turned their backs to my unclothed form, but Alice and Edward just walked right in. Sue said softly, "We're sorry. We were told to come. I overheard the tail end of the conversation, and Jasper, Peter? She's right. The earth could never hurt her. None of the elements can."
I smiled at them, then said, "I'm sorry you were not warned before you got here about my lack of clothing, but you'll need to get used to it. That's harsh, but there is a lot to be done. You'll be seeing me in a very intimate position in just a few moments. I need you to listen to me, and having your backs turned won't help. Charlie, I know you gave birth to me, but you need to understand that we are way past this. The whole pack has seen me in a way more intimate situation than you will see, yet they have no problem looking at me right now."
I saw him lift his head to look at the wolves. Every one of them had their eyes trained on me, but didn't look the least bit uncomfortable. "They have seen every intimate detail of today, Charlie. If they can separate the Goddess from Bella, so can you. I know all the elders can, too. Now, please, we don't have much time for me to explain all of this."
They all turned around, so I said to Jake as I kissed his muzzle, "Is everyone we need here?”
Jake nodded. I called Carlisle and Char back in before explaining, "Alright, everyone. Edward opened a floodgate with me during my meditation a little while ago. We were testing if I could recognise them and respond during my deep meditation, and Edward hummed the lullaby he wrote for me. I instantly knew it was him. When he asked me if I knew why he wrote it, he explained that he wanted me to sleep peacefully until I was able to be with my true mate... my Jasper. I remembered that the lullaby used to keep the dreams away. The dreams of a mate I couldn't be with. They were agonizing, but the lullaby let me sleep dreamlessly for the most part. Now, though, the lullaby seems to draw the visions to me. It makes the visions easier to grasp and sift through. He's a conduit for me with the visions. I know if anyone else were to hum it, it wouldn't work. He sang it to me every night while I slept. It's Edward and the lullaby combined that makes it work.”
I saw the elders nod, then I continued. “I need to meditate again, as soon as I'm done explaining all this to you, because something huge is happening. I need to know what. My blood is the key to saving millions of lives, so I need to know what needs to be done. I will be having Edward draw a dual donation from me as I gather energy. The blood he draws will be what is needed to save all those people. The earth's energy will keep me stable and boost my blood production. Please don't be worried about how much blood I will be giving. I'm completely safe. The thing is, after the donation is complete, I will need every one of you. You will see things you've never wished to see me do, but it's all necessary, I assure you. Jasper needs to ground me, and the best way for him to do that, is for us to be... entwined intimately... when I meditate. We won't be going at it, and you don't have to watch us as we connect. Once the connection is made, I will need three circles around Jasper and I. The closest will be Char, Peter, Alice and Edward. Char and Peter will be each holding one of Jasper's hips, and Alice and Edward will be holding mine. Jasper, you and I need to be flush against each other, your hands completely covering my elements. No one can disrupt the connection in the circles. It's extremely important.”
I gave the room a serious look, then said, “The second circle will be the elders and Charlie. Charlie, you will have to complete the connection between Sue and Quil. I know you don't know the Quileute language, but as long as you're all touching, it will work. Elders, you will need to chant or sing the first thing that comes to your mind, and keep going. When a different thing comes to you, go with it. Keep your minds clear, and let it all flow through you. The outer circle will be Jake and the other wolves. You'll need to lay tip of the tail to nose around everyone else. Make sure you don't break the connection. Peter. Char. You need to get as close behind Jasper as you can without touching my feet. It would be best for your leg behind Jasper to be extended and crossed with each other, and your knee next to Jasper to be touching either Edward or Alice's knee. You'll be sending Jasper all the positive emotions and love you can. You can kiss our shoulders all you feel the need to.”
I looked at Alice and Edward then, noticing they were focused on my every word. “Same for you two. As close behind me as you can get without touching my elements, or Jasper's hands on my elements. A firm but gentle grip on my hips. Don't break the connection. Alice, you'll be seeing flashes from me. Catalog all the minute details, then move to the next flash. We'll analyse it when I come out of meditation. Edward, my lullaby. Keep it going. Don't stop until I come out of meditation completely. Now, everyone. This will look very intimate, but you can't shy away from looking. That's important. My mates will be grounding me emotionally through this, but the earth will be grounding me physically. Vines of my choosing will be wrapping themselves around my ankles and wrists to be able to feed me energy. The earth and vines will not hurt me. You must understand this, and not make an aggressive movement toward the vines. It would be detrimental to me and the twins if you did."
I took a very quick breath, then jumped right back in, "Edward. Carlisle will continuously hand you cups of my smoothie. Keep me drinking it. Keep the straw to my lips. As soon as one is gone, do it with the next cup. I will instinctively drink when the straw is against my lips. You will be the best one to do it, as you are next to me, and Ali will be in constant visions. Carlisle, you will be going back and forth between Edward and the kitchen. Make sure you do not touch anyone in the circles. Step over the tails, noses, and clasped hands, but do not touch. You are the only one I would trust to this, Carlisle. Does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone shook their head no, so I said, "If anyone is hungry or needs the bathroom, now is the time to do it. I will be going outside now to do the energy draw while Edward hooks me up and does the blood donation. Please stay within yelling distance of the cabin, so that as soon as the donation is done, we can get the meditation under way. Thank you for all bearing with me at crazy times like this. I know I seem demanding and bitchy, but I'm truly not trying to be. I just know what needs to be done to make things happen, and the Goddess part of me isn't very patient at times."
They all smiled, then I looked up to Alice, "What did you bring me, Ali?"
She smiled as she kissed my temple, "I brought you three choices."
She laid them out at the end of the bed, while everyone but the vampires left the room. I kissed Jake's muzzle, then got out of bed to look at what Alice brought.
I looked at the three choices carefully. One was a very pretty sundress. Nope won't work for right now.
The second was a lace and chiffon spaghetti strap nightgown with a multiple layer handkerchief hemline. Very pretty, but too many layers for the bottom.
The last one was a see-through chiffon halter that had one button between the breast part of the bodice. It was floor length and backless, but the bodice was embroidered while the rest left nothing to the imagination. Very thin, and the way it was open in the front would allow for what had to be done. I picked it up with a wide smile, "This is perfect, Ali.”
I slipped it on, then walked out to the grass, assuming my lotus position as soon as I reached my spot. I looked at Edward and Carlisle. "Hook up the dual line, so you draw for both bags at the same time. I'll need both hands touching the grass, so please be aware of their locations. As soon as you start drawing the blood, I'll start drawing energy to keep up blood reproduction and my energy level. You can start whenever you are ready."
They both nodded, getting things out of the medical bag, then began putting them together. I stroked the grass constantly while I watched them. It felt like it was caressing me back somehow. I smiled at the thought. Edward looked at me softly, "We're ready."
I nodded, then he cradled my elbow, "As soon as I get the needle in and stabilized, Carlisle will let you know, so you can start drawing energy."
I nodded, so he slipped the needle in with ease. He got the needle taped and secured, then Carlisle nodded to me. I took a deep slow breath as I closed my eyes. I gave a mental stroke to the earth as I told it what was happening. Immediately I was drawing a constant slow stream of energy with short bursts of energy mixed in. The bursts felt different than the slow stream did. I let the smile reach my face as understanding came to me a few minutes later.
"It's working. With every bit of blood drawn, I'm getting both a constant slow stream from the earth, as well as separate little bursts. They don't feel the same. The slow stream is to keep my energy up, while the bursts are for blood reproduction. It's working well."
I still had my eyes closed, but I heard Edward say softly, "That's good."
A very short while later, I heard Edward say softly, "We're almost done, Sweetheart. Just another couple of minutes."
I nodded with a soft smile. Jasper was whispering to Peter about how beautiful I was, while Char was talking to Alice about the clothing lines she was making for me. I smiled. My vampire family couldn't care less if I was practically nude. There was so much less drama about the nude physical form with them. "We're done, Bella. I'm going to take the needle out, then hold a cotton ball to the site until you are done drawing. Carlisle will take care of the blood donation, then run it to the house real quick."
I nodded as I felt Edward cup my elbow, right before he placed a cotton ball to the inside of it. He placed a light pressure there, then I felt a few more quick bursts from the earth. As soon as they were done, I knew everything went perfectly. I mentally kissed the earth before slowly opening my eyes.
I smiled at seeing Edward crouched down next to me, asking, "You know this is going to be really intimate, right... this meditation?"
We both got up as he furrowed his eyebrows a small bit in confusion, so I elaborated a little, "There's going to be times when Jasper will need to push into me or rock us. He'll keep the motions as slight as he can, but he'll still be essentially making love to me while you and Ali hold my hips. You'll feel everything, having contact with me. It's part of the grounding with Jasper. I never feel more grounded than when he makes love to me. Are you going to be okay doing this? Watching and feeling this?"
He smiled softly as he hugged me to him, kissing my temple, "It will be a privilege to witness, Sweetheart. It's the least I can do after everything, and yes, I'll be fine. I'm just glad you are with your mates finally... and happy."
I squeezed him tight for a second. He kissed my temple again, then we broke our hug. I smiled over to my mates, who all three came to lay kisses on my spine and shoulders. I hummed in pleasure as Jasper picked me up. He still hadn't put any clothes on, but Char was in her robe, while Peter was in boxers. I wrapped my legs around Jasper, breathing into his skin, "Are you okay with making love in front of everyone?"
He nipped at my neck, causing me to moan, wanting more. "I have no issues with it, but I'm worried about you and Charlie. Are you sure he can handle it?"
I nodded as I licked up the side of his neck, feeling Peter kiss down my spine, "He might be a little squeamish at first, but once the Goddess in me takes over at the beginning, he'll be fine. It won't even register to him after that. We just need to make sure Sam is placed behind me, not Charlie and Sue. The more Charlie's view is cut off by your body, the better. With Sam, I know there won't be any squeamish issues. Mmm."
He nipped my collarbone as he situated us down on the grass. Char kissed me softly, but I immediately deepened the kiss, winding my fingers in her hair with a moan. Peter licked and nipped at my spine as I whimpered, "Fuck, that feels good."
Jasper slipped one of my breasts from its embroidered confine, roughly licking my bite mark, which caused me to cry out around Char's tongue. Jasper lifted me with his hands on my ass, so Peter moved the gown out of the way. He traced my already soaked folds for a second before positioning Jasper's cock. Jasper slid me slowly down. When I was fully seated, all four of us moaned.
"Fuck, Jazz," I said breathlessly, "You feel so big right now. God, I need to feel you deep inside me. Please, Cowboy."
Jasper took hold of my hips to resituate, then slowly slid me back down, seating me fully again. He took another lick of my bite mark, then I whimpered while rocking slowly. Jasper breathed as he trailed his lips up my collarbone, shoulder and neck, "Are you ready to call everyone back?"
Peter trailed nips and licks down one side of my spine, while Char did the same to the other. I whimpered loudly, "Christ, no. I'd rather have you three make love to me like this forever. I know we need to do this, though. Go ahead and get in position... we need to hurry."
The wolves were all quiet in their heads today, for once. Bella knew the pack would see her private moments if I was in the room, but she still let me stay. The whole day has been truly an honor... and the silence from the pack mind all day has been kind of a tribute to that, I think.
They have seen everything as I see it. All of them were shocked to see the tenderness and care the Major had for Bella. We knew he would never hurt her, but to see the whole process... even if he didn't spank her or anything... you could tell she totally submitted her body and soul to him. In return, he treated it as the precious gift it was. I personally think that Major is just as wrapped around her as his alternate persona, Jasper, is.
All of them are so gentle with her... especially Peter, with all the raw passion that was flowing through the room. Holy hell... Char and Bella? Even Leah and the other girls in the pack saw the beauty of them together. Each one of the pack members could see that the goddess ruled over the sexual part of Bella. There was no denying that fact, as it was clear as day the second things turned slightly intimate.
The thing was, not one of us saw it as an up close and in-person porn show, as most people would think. This was us learning more of the goddess. Seeing her in her natural state with her mates. It was a chance to know her more closely, be a part of the love of four incredible beings.
The emotional dampening scared the shit out of us, though. I tried to get her to understand earlier. I just hope she gets it. Jasper needs to be able to feel her at all times. If Bella were to dampen her emotions at the wrong time, we could be literally looking at nuclear WW3 with just her powers alone... with any one of us getting caught in the crossfire. The thing that scared me the most was that she didn't even realise it. She said she was trying to keep a leash on her orgasm, so to speak. Her emotional dampening was tied to a physical need. I needed to talk to the elders about this, but I wouldn't have the chance until Bella's triple love day was over.
That was another thing. I had listened in when the family was explaining the love day and bond thing with vampires. It was similar in many ways to imprinting. Vampires usually only get one mate in their existence. Bella having three mates and three mate bonds of equal strength was unheard of… very extraordinary. For a mortal to be tied so tightly to not one, but three vampires, was even more baffling to everyone.
Their relationship and bonds are completely unique in the vampire world... the whole supernatural world, for that matter. We know it is tied to the elements. One mate per element that she wasn't born with. We don't know how deep it will grow to be, but everyone suspects, even the other vampires and elders, that their bonds will be the deepest -as well as the strongest- the supernatural world has ever seen. Bella has always been a very loving soul, so it really shouldn't surprise any of us.
I thought back to the days not so long ago, that she would be helping Emily in her and Sam's small kitchen, getting food ready for the pack members and taking charge of things. It was funny when she did that the first time at the main house. Warning Charlie and the other elders to back away from all the food when she called for the pack to come and get it. The way their eyes bugged out when they saw how fast the food disappeared, but how Bella just laughed and went with it. She's a pack Mama already... she has been for a while. I know she will be a great Mom to Jasper and Peter's sons, as well as any other children they have in the future.
The way she treats her mates... letting them feed from her... it proves she will do anything for the ones she loves. I feel extremely lucky and proud to be counted as one of those she loves.
She was meditating. Jasper was talking to Peter about the twins. He wanted to know if Peter thinks they will look like them or Bella or a combination of them. Jasper said he hopes they have Bella's chocolate hair and pale skin tone, but Peter said he hopes they have the strength and powers for fighting that they do... especially with the world they will be born into, along with the destinies they are supposed to have.
I know that the four main wolves will have a role to play when the time comes, but I don't know how. It's just a feeling... a really strong feeling. I know my place is with Bella… it always will be. I have loved her for as long as I can remember... even before I knew about the Goddess Elemental or any of the wolf business. I was born to love her, to protect her, to be near her always.
I feel extremely privileged to be a part of her life so closely. Her mates have been very accommodating to me sticking my nose in their private lives. I have seen every detail of their intimate lives lately, yet they don't seem to mind. I get the sense that I really belong with them, that they feel it too.
I know Jasper is an empath, and I really want to thank them.
I tried to send him my gratitude, my sense of belonging. He snapped his head over to me, leveling his head to mine. He patted my head, "You belong here, Jake. All three of us feel it just as much as Bella. We know you would do anything for her, just as we would. Protector or not, you belong with the four of us. You know that, right?"
I sent him my gratitude and acceptance, which made him smile. I sent him my feeling of completeness, then he said softly, "Yes, we feel it too, Jake. The feeling of being complete with you here."
He scratched behind my ears, and... oh, that felt good.
I tilted my head towards him more, so he chuckled, "Feel good? Bella loves the feel of your fur in wolf form, you know. Has she ever told you that? She likes the silky texture. That's why she likes running her fingers through your fur."
My tongue lolled out as I sent him the feeling that I get when Bella runs her fingers through my fur. I love when she does that. It's like a special caress she has just for me.
He smiled in response, "That's how it makes you feel, I know. I get a similar feeling when she runs her fingers up my spine, or when she traces or kisses certain scars I have. You'll hear us purr when she gives us our own special caress. She used to sleep straddling my lap with her head on my chest, before we left for Texas. One time, Peter held her through the night, instead of me. She woke up in the morning, immediately knowing it was him. She said first it was his scent, before she even opened her eyes. Then she tried to trace his spine, but he didn't purr like I would have. The last thing she did was try to kiss the certain scar she likes best, but still no purr. She told Peter good morning then, while opening her eyes. She had to explain how she knew it was him, then it became an interesting morning, to say the least. That was the mornin' Peter claimed her as a mate. You know what happened after that."
I nodded as I leaned further into his hand, eager to learn more of her missing time, so he continued, "I felt her need to be claimed, but didn't understand, as I didn't know we could have more than one mate. The need was so strong, though. She broke down, feeling utterly destroyed, saying she knew we didn't get more than one, but she couldn't help how she felt. She begged him to claim her, and he did, with me in the room. It was very erotic. You've witnessed what the passion between the two of them can be like... yet that wasn't even during a claiming. Him claiming her was a hundred times more intense... and so damn hot. I think her claiming Char was hotter, though. To see Bella with all that power and possessiveness over her was completely amazing. Char was hers, and she made damn sure Char knew it. It was like emotionally, she was in Major's place with Char."
Wow. Just... wow. I can't even begin to imagine what it would have been like to witness that.
Just then, Embry let me know that Edward and Doc Cullen had finished the tests for Bella. They wanted to know if it was a good time to come. Shit, how was I supposed to tell him without phasing?
Oh, I know.
I ran my nose up to her elbow and whined. All three of them looked at me before Jasper asked, "What is it, Jake?"
I nuzzled my nose against where they drew the blood, and then padded over to the sample cups on the nightstand. Char was the one to speak up, "Jake, are you trying to tell us that Edward and Carlisle are done testing?"
I nodded as I went to my previous spot against Bella's hand, then Jasper asked, "Are they wanting to come out? "
I nodded so he said, "Tell them that we'll send for them as soon as Bella is done meditating."
I nodded, then relayed the message to Embry.
He let me know that it was fine. I nodded to Jasper, then licked Bella's palm. She responded sleepily, "Love you too, Jake."
I knew she was meditating and that she was aware, but I didn't expect her to respond. Jasper smiled, "You can communicate with her in this state. That's a very good thing. If anything is wrong during her meditation and we are not with her for some reason, you can reach her. She doesn't respond to just anyone, even though she is aware. Actually, have Edward and Carlisle come now... we need to test to see if they can reach her. Seeing as they are her doctors, it would be beneficial if they could. We should know either way, sooner rather than later."
I nodded, then sent Embry the message that they needed to come but be cautious that she was still meditating... not to startle her. As soon as I finished, Bella said slowly, "Carlisle and Edward. Good to test. Need to know."
She knew what was planned and was okay with it. That was good. They arrived just after Jasper pulled the sheet over all of their hips. They approached quietly, with Carlisle saying softly, "We could have waited for her to come to. We would like to talk to all of you about the results. Is she alright?"
Jasper smiled, "Yes, she's fine. It's her normal meditative state, but we need to find out -with you two being her doctors- if she will respond to you in this state. It may be needed in the future, so we should know if you can reach her."
Carlisle nodded, "Yes, that would be beneficial. Who would you like to try first?"
Peter said, "You should go first, Carlisle. She's been your patient longer."
Doc nodded, then came over to sit on the very edge of the bed near me. He said softly, "Bella. I need you to try and answer me. Do you know who I am? Listen to my voice, tell me if you recognise me."
Bella snickered, still in her sleep state, "Silly Carlisle. I would know you anywhere."
Everyone laughed softly as Doc said, "Very good, Bella. Thank you."
Doc got up for Edward to take in his place. "Bella, can you hear me? Let me know if you can hear me, Sweetheart."
Bella didn't respond. Edward's face sunk, but then he got an idea. He touched her arm lightly, then started humming a pretty tune I remember Bella humming before. Bella responded immediately but weakly, "Edward... talk to me. Need to recognise."
He smiled as he said, "Yes, Bella. Edward. Do you remember when I wrote you that lullaby?"
After a minute, Bella said softly, "Played for me... first time in big house... main house... so beautiful... lullaby."
He smiled, then said, "Yes, Bella. I played it for you the first time I brought you to the main house. The night you met everyone. Do you know why I wrote the lullaby for you?"
Sooner than the last time, Bella responded, "No, but I know... I remember... I slept better when you would hum it as I fell asleep at night."
Edward looked to Jasper, who nodded after a second. Edward said then, "Bella, I wrote the lullaby so you would sleep peacefully until you were able to be with Jasper. I know we haven't talked yet, but I wrote the lullaby because you wanted me to stay at night, but I knew you wouldn't sleep peacefully after you met Jasper unless I helped. The lullaby helped you get the rest you needed until you could be with him."
It took Bella longer to respond, "S'kay. It helped keep the dreams away. So many dreams. Know now. Dreams of Jasper. Dreams of the mate I couldn't be with. Didn't hurt as much with the lullaby. What else? Seeing missing pieces... tell me more."
Jasper nodded. I guess they were going to have their talk with her meditating. Edward said, "I never wanted to hurt you. Never, Bella. I swear. Alice told me that it was the only way for you to believe. The only way Jasper would come to you. Everything got so messed up when we met James, Victoria, and Laurant. That was what changed everything, I think. So many things could have been avoided or done differently, but I can't take any of it back now. I'm so sorry, Bella. So sorry I hurt you. I only wanted you to be happy with Jasper. Jasper has truly been family to me, and I just wanted him to have a true mate. Alice knew it was you, but that we couldn't be together until you could be with Jasper. It was dangerous with you being my singer, but after Phoenix, I knew I could never hurt you physically. Having to remove James' venom from your blood... it killed me to have to do that, when Jasper should have been the one caring for you. I'm so sorry."
Bella responded quickly, but said slowly, "Edward... told Alice... no more hiding and not finding someone to give other options. Too many people... caught up... hurt in it. You took care of me... protected me until... I have my Jazz. Were supposed to...make love... Pheonix our feelings... changed because Alice stopped looking. Not mad. S'kay now... no more apologies. Just playful and doctor like you're meant to be. Like supposed to be all along. Hum lullaby please."
Edward bent over to kiss her temple, whispering, "Anything for you, Sweetheart."
He hummed her lullaby for about 30 minutes before she started to stir.
BPOV:
I saw so many things during my meditation. Missing pieces that needed to be filled in, as well as flashes of the future. Edward's lullaby seemed to work the opposite way now from when I truly slept. Now it helped bring the visions and information to me, where before it kept the dreams away.
When everything seemed to settle in the right place, I started coming to. I slowly opened my eyes to see Jake's nose on my palm, my mates still curled around me, Edward with his hand on my arm sitting at the edge of the bed, and Carlisle sitting in the armchair near the bed. I smiled up at Edward, "Thank you. The lullaby brings the visions and missing pieces to me now, instead of the other way around. You're a catalyst for me. I may need contact with you during some of my meditations. I hope you don't mind."
He shook his head with a bright smile, "Don't even think on it, Sweetheart. You know I'd do anything you asked. Thank you, Bella... for allowing me to still be a part of your life after all the mistakes that have been made..."
I cut him off, "Edward, that's just it. They were mistakes. We learn from our mistakes. Just make sure you and Ali learn from this, don't repeat the mistakes that were made, and all will be fine. There is too much at stake here for us to all be pulled apart from what happened. We need to stick together like the family we are. Let the past be the past."
Edward looked like he would be crying, so I placed my hand on his cheek. He kissed my palm, then leaned into it whispering, "I promise, Bella. We've both learned from this. I swear it."
He closed his eyes as I stroked his cheek, then smiled brightly. He opened his eyes again, kissed my palm, then said, "I can sense the twins. I can't hear them, per say, but I can sense them. Their presences are strong."
I smiled along with my three mates. I looked to see that Carlisle was still sitting quietly, so I motioned to him, "Come on, Carlisle. Grab a spot on the bed. You and Edward can fill us in on the test results."
He smiled widely, then sat near my feet. He picked them up to place them on his legs, massaging them as he spoke, "The test results were astounding, Bella. We went over them several times to make sure we didn't miscalculate. You were right about the blood in your intimate fluids. There was no trace, which is a very good thing. We did the nutrient tests, and couldn't believe the results. The first one has the same nutrient count as your regular breast milk, Bella... but what caught us more off guard, was that the last two had double the nutrient count of your breast milk during orgasm. Astounding results. As your mates pleasure you, they are also getting what they need to thrive. Technically, they could live off your multiple orgasms alone. They will never want for anything else as long as they are pleasing and drinking from you."
I smiled widely, "Good, I'm so glad. I knew the results would be in our favor, but I didn't think they'd be that good. Now we know for sure that they won't need to ever return to hunting... that I can supply for all their needs. That's what I wanted."
I looked to my mates, who all smiled softly. Edward said next, "We did every test we could on the amount of blood I drew from you. I have to say, I was speechless. Bella, you have to understand... things you could never have come in contact with in the U.S, you have antibodies in your blood for.”
My mates all gasped, but I smiled, "I do understand, Edward. It's part of the Goddess. She told me, during the final part of my physical transformation, that I would never get sick as long as 'my elements were exposed to the elements'. This would go along with that. I think my elements draw the immunity to them. My question to you is, are the babies getting the immunities from me? Will they get it from the breast milk?"
Edward grinned as he said, "We had the same question, so we went back to test the last non-orgasm breast milk. We believe the babies will get the immunities from it, because even if they don't get it from the blood after you're turned, the immunities are in the milk itself. You are the perfect picture of health, Bella. We tested for anything we could think of, and you have a natural immunity to it. It's astounding. We could find the cure for so many diseases from your blood."
That's when it hit me... the reason they needed to do the blood tests in the first place. I gasped, "You're supposed to. That's why I felt you needed to run the blood tests, I just didn't realise it before. We'll need to draw more blood... as much as is safe. That's why I've been drawing more energy today. To boost my blood production. You'll be able to safely draw twice the amount of a normal donation. You need to go get the supplies, then we need to do the draw while I get energy from the earth. We need to do it while I'm in the grass just outside the door."
Carlisle asked excitedly, "Really, Bella? You'd allow us to do this?"
I nodded, "Yes, there's more to it than just finding the cures. I feel it. Something is going on... something that could wipe out millions of people. Shit..."
My eyes snapped to Edward's quickly as I said in a rush, "Edward, after the blood draw, I need you to help me meditate again. I need to see. Alice needs to be with us, too. Bring her back with you when you gather the supplies. We need to hurry. Go, quickly."
He kissed my temple, then dashed out the door.
"Jake, gather the elders and the top 4 wolves, other than you and Quil. He'll need to lead the rest while I meditate, but those 4, the elders, and Charlie need to be here with us. Have them come with Edward and Alice. I'm going to need certain things for this to work, and we'll have to prepare people. Shit... have someone tell Alice I'll need a backless, very thin sundress from the Earth Collection."
Jake nodded, licked my palm, then went out the glass door.
I heard his Alpha howl to claim attention a few seconds later. It felt like the whole world stilled to listen to him. I looked to Carlisle. "I'll need you to do something for me. Esme needs to stay at the main house for this, so I'll need you to make as many smoothies for me as you possibly can. Char won't be able to, because she will need to be touching me during the process. She can show you how to make them now, if you need her to. All of the extracts need to be in each batch."
He nodded to Char, so she kissed my temple quickly before throwing her robe on and taking Carlisle to the kitchen.
I looked to Jasper and Peter, seeing the wary look in Peter's eyes. I knew he was worried as hell, so I kissed him full on the mouth, then whispered, "Baby, listen. Nothing is wrong... I just need to see. Edward opened a floodgate when he hummed my lullaby. There's so much. I'll need you three to emotionally ground me and feed me emotions, while the earth physically grounds me and feeds me energy. This is going to be crazy looking to everyone with what has to be done. That's why the people that have to be here need to be prepared. The twins and I will be fine through the whole thing, I swear it. I just know there's only one way to get the information I need. Please don't be worried."
He kissed me softly, "I just don't want anythin’ to happen to ya or the babies. I have this feelin' like you're gonna physically be bound to the earth through this, but I don't know if I like that."
Jasper looked at him wide-eyed, so I cupped both of their cheeks. "Yes, I will be physically bound to the earth. Vines of my choosing will wrap around my ankles and wrists. They will have to, so that they can feed me energy. I won't be able to draw from the earth. That means I have to be wrapped in it, so that it can feed me. I will explain everything before we start, but please know that the earth would never hurt me. Hurting me would be hurting itself."
Just then, the elders showed up with Edward, Alice, and Charlie. Jake came to the bed as the wolves stationed themselves at the door. The elders and Charlie turned their backs to my unclothed form, but Alice and Edward just walked right in. Sue said softly, "We're sorry. We were told to come. I overheard the tail end of the conversation, and Jasper, Peter? She's right. The earth could never hurt her. None of the elements can."
I smiled at them, then said, "I'm sorry you were not warned before you got here about my lack of clothing, but you'll need to get used to it. That's harsh, but there is a lot to be done. You'll be seeing me in a very intimate position in just a few moments. I need you to listen to me, and having your backs turned won't help. Charlie, I know you gave birth to me, but you need to understand that we are way past this. The whole pack has seen me in a way more intimate situation than you will see, yet they have no problem looking at me right now."
I saw him lift his head to look at the wolves. Every one of them had their eyes trained on me, but didn't look the least bit uncomfortable. "They have seen every intimate detail of today, Charlie. If they can separate the Goddess from Bella, so can you. I know all the elders can, too. Now, please, we don't have much time for me to explain all of this."
They all turned around, so I said to Jake as I kissed his muzzle, "Is everyone we need here?”
Jake nodded. I called Carlisle and Char back in before explaining, "Alright, everyone. Edward opened a floodgate with me during my meditation a little while ago. We were testing if I could recognise them and respond during my deep meditation, and Edward hummed the lullaby he wrote for me. I instantly knew it was him. When he asked me if I knew why he wrote it, he explained that he wanted me to sleep peacefully until I was able to be with my true mate... my Jasper. I remembered that the lullaby used to keep the dreams away. The dreams of a mate I couldn't be with. They were agonizing, but the lullaby let me sleep dreamlessly for the most part. Now, though, the lullaby seems to draw the visions to me. It makes the visions easier to grasp and sift through. He's a conduit for me with the visions. I know if anyone else were to hum it, it wouldn't work. He sang it to me every night while I slept. It's Edward and the lullaby combined that makes it work.”
I saw the elders nod, then I continued. “I need to meditate again, as soon as I'm done explaining all this to you, because something huge is happening. I need to know what. My blood is the key to saving millions of lives, so I need to know what needs to be done. I will be having Edward draw a dual donation from me as I gather energy. The blood he draws will be what is needed to save all those people. The earth's energy will keep me stable and boost my blood production. Please don't be worried about how much blood I will be giving. I'm completely safe. The thing is, after the donation is complete, I will need every one of you. You will see things you've never wished to see me do, but it's all necessary, I assure you. Jasper needs to ground me, and the best way for him to do that, is for us to be... entwined intimately... when I meditate. We won't be going at it, and you don't have to watch us as we connect. Once the connection is made, I will need three circles around Jasper and I. The closest will be Char, Peter, Alice and Edward. Char and Peter will be each holding one of Jasper's hips, and Alice and Edward will be holding mine. Jasper, you and I need to be flush against each other, your hands completely covering my elements. No one can disrupt the connection in the circles. It's extremely important.”
I gave the room a serious look, then said, “The second circle will be the elders and Charlie. Charlie, you will have to complete the connection between Sue and Quil. I know you don't know the Quileute language, but as long as you're all touching, it will work. Elders, you will need to chant or sing the first thing that comes to your mind, and keep going. When a different thing comes to you, go with it. Keep your minds clear, and let it all flow through you. The outer circle will be Jake and the other wolves. You'll need to lay tip of the tail to nose around everyone else. Make sure you don't break the connection. Peter. Char. You need to get as close behind Jasper as you can without touching my feet. It would be best for your leg behind Jasper to be extended and crossed with each other, and your knee next to Jasper to be touching either Edward or Alice's knee. You'll be sending Jasper all the positive emotions and love you can. You can kiss our shoulders all you feel the need to.”
I looked at Alice and Edward then, noticing they were focused on my every word. “Same for you two. As close behind me as you can get without touching my elements, or Jasper's hands on my elements. A firm but gentle grip on my hips. Don't break the connection. Alice, you'll be seeing flashes from me. Catalog all the minute details, then move to the next flash. We'll analyse it when I come out of meditation. Edward, my lullaby. Keep it going. Don't stop until I come out of meditation completely. Now, everyone. This will look very intimate, but you can't shy away from looking. That's important. My mates will be grounding me emotionally through this, but the earth will be grounding me physically. Vines of my choosing will be wrapping themselves around my ankles and wrists to be able to feed me energy. The earth and vines will not hurt me. You must understand this, and not make an aggressive movement toward the vines. It would be detrimental to me and the twins if you did."
I took a very quick breath, then jumped right back in, "Edward. Carlisle will continuously hand you cups of my smoothie. Keep me drinking it. Keep the straw to my lips. As soon as one is gone, do it with the next cup. I will instinctively drink when the straw is against my lips. You will be the best one to do it, as you are next to me, and Ali will be in constant visions. Carlisle, you will be going back and forth between Edward and the kitchen. Make sure you do not touch anyone in the circles. Step over the tails, noses, and clasped hands, but do not touch. You are the only one I would trust to this, Carlisle. Does anyone have any questions?"
Everyone shook their head no, so I said, "If anyone is hungry or needs the bathroom, now is the time to do it. I will be going outside now to do the energy draw while Edward hooks me up and does the blood donation. Please stay within yelling distance of the cabin, so that as soon as the donation is done, we can get the meditation under way. Thank you for all bearing with me at crazy times like this. I know I seem demanding and bitchy, but I'm truly not trying to be. I just know what needs to be done to make things happen, and the Goddess part of me isn't very patient at times."
They all smiled, then I looked up to Alice, "What did you bring me, Ali?"
She smiled as she kissed my temple, "I brought you three choices."
She laid them out at the end of the bed, while everyone but the vampires left the room. I kissed Jake's muzzle, then got out of bed to look at what Alice brought.
I looked at the three choices carefully. One was a very pretty sundress. Nope won't work for right now.
The second was a lace and chiffon spaghetti strap nightgown with a multiple layer handkerchief hemline. Very pretty, but too many layers for the bottom.
The last one was a see-through chiffon halter that had one button between the breast part of the bodice. It was floor length and backless, but the bodice was embroidered while the rest left nothing to the imagination. Very thin, and the way it was open in the front would allow for what had to be done. I picked it up with a wide smile, "This is perfect, Ali.”
I slipped it on, then walked out to the grass, assuming my lotus position as soon as I reached my spot. I looked at Edward and Carlisle. "Hook up the dual line, so you draw for both bags at the same time. I'll need both hands touching the grass, so please be aware of their locations. As soon as you start drawing the blood, I'll start drawing energy to keep up blood reproduction and my energy level. You can start whenever you are ready."
They both nodded, getting things out of the medical bag, then began putting them together. I stroked the grass constantly while I watched them. It felt like it was caressing me back somehow. I smiled at the thought. Edward looked at me softly, "We're ready."
I nodded, then he cradled my elbow, "As soon as I get the needle in and stabilized, Carlisle will let you know, so you can start drawing energy."
I nodded, so he slipped the needle in with ease. He got the needle taped and secured, then Carlisle nodded to me. I took a deep slow breath as I closed my eyes. I gave a mental stroke to the earth as I told it what was happening. Immediately I was drawing a constant slow stream of energy with short bursts of energy mixed in. The bursts felt different than the slow stream did. I let the smile reach my face as understanding came to me a few minutes later.
"It's working. With every bit of blood drawn, I'm getting both a constant slow stream from the earth, as well as separate little bursts. They don't feel the same. The slow stream is to keep my energy up, while the bursts are for blood reproduction. It's working well."
I still had my eyes closed, but I heard Edward say softly, "That's good."
A very short while later, I heard Edward say softly, "We're almost done, Sweetheart. Just another couple of minutes."
I nodded with a soft smile. Jasper was whispering to Peter about how beautiful I was, while Char was talking to Alice about the clothing lines she was making for me. I smiled. My vampire family couldn't care less if I was practically nude. There was so much less drama about the nude physical form with them. "We're done, Bella. I'm going to take the needle out, then hold a cotton ball to the site until you are done drawing. Carlisle will take care of the blood donation, then run it to the house real quick."
I nodded as I felt Edward cup my elbow, right before he placed a cotton ball to the inside of it. He placed a light pressure there, then I felt a few more quick bursts from the earth. As soon as they were done, I knew everything went perfectly. I mentally kissed the earth before slowly opening my eyes.
I smiled at seeing Edward crouched down next to me, asking, "You know this is going to be really intimate, right... this meditation?"
We both got up as he furrowed his eyebrows a small bit in confusion, so I elaborated a little, "There's going to be times when Jasper will need to push into me or rock us. He'll keep the motions as slight as he can, but he'll still be essentially making love to me while you and Ali hold my hips. You'll feel everything, having contact with me. It's part of the grounding with Jasper. I never feel more grounded than when he makes love to me. Are you going to be okay doing this? Watching and feeling this?"
He smiled softly as he hugged me to him, kissing my temple, "It will be a privilege to witness, Sweetheart. It's the least I can do after everything, and yes, I'll be fine. I'm just glad you are with your mates finally... and happy."
I squeezed him tight for a second. He kissed my temple again, then we broke our hug. I smiled over to my mates, who all three came to lay kisses on my spine and shoulders. I hummed in pleasure as Jasper picked me up. He still hadn't put any clothes on, but Char was in her robe, while Peter was in boxers. I wrapped my legs around Jasper, breathing into his skin, "Are you okay with making love in front of everyone?"
He nipped at my neck, causing me to moan, wanting more. "I have no issues with it, but I'm worried about you and Charlie. Are you sure he can handle it?"
I nodded as I licked up the side of his neck, feeling Peter kiss down my spine, "He might be a little squeamish at first, but once the Goddess in me takes over at the beginning, he'll be fine. It won't even register to him after that. We just need to make sure Sam is placed behind me, not Charlie and Sue. The more Charlie's view is cut off by your body, the better. With Sam, I know there won't be any squeamish issues. Mmm."
He nipped my collarbone as he situated us down on the grass. Char kissed me softly, but I immediately deepened the kiss, winding my fingers in her hair with a moan. Peter licked and nipped at my spine as I whimpered, "Fuck, that feels good."
Jasper slipped one of my breasts from its embroidered confine, roughly licking my bite mark, which caused me to cry out around Char's tongue. Jasper lifted me with his hands on my ass, so Peter moved the gown out of the way. He traced my already soaked folds for a second before positioning Jasper's cock. Jasper slid me slowly down. When I was fully seated, all four of us moaned.
"Fuck, Jazz," I said breathlessly, "You feel so big right now. God, I need to feel you deep inside me. Please, Cowboy."
Jasper took hold of my hips to resituate, then slowly slid me back down, seating me fully again. He took another lick of my bite mark, then I whimpered while rocking slowly. Jasper breathed as he trailed his lips up my collarbone, shoulder and neck, "Are you ready to call everyone back?"
Peter trailed nips and licks down one side of my spine, while Char did the same to the other. I whimpered loudly, "Christ, no. I'd rather have you three make love to me like this forever. I know we need to do this, though. Go ahead and get in position... we need to hurry."
