Emmett's Precious Jewel

A/n: I am so very sorry it has been so long since I last updated. I will be returning to regular posts now. Thank you to those of you still reading and reviewing it means so much to me. This story is my baby. I had a question I’d like to answer now, “How long after Renesmee’s birth is this story taking place?” I’m going to say it’s only a short time later. I say this because I have been assuming Renesmee and Liam are close in age because of how well they get along, and because she grows so rapidly it would need to be soon after. I will tell you this, I will be doing a sequel to this story when Liam is grown, so Renesmee will be a big part of that story as well. Anyway enough of the chatter, on with the chapter. Enjoy!



Jewel’s POV:

    “Alice had a vision, we may have a problem.” Everyone looked at me silently stunned waiting for me to continue. I shook my head, “Not in front of the baby.” Liam scrunched up his little face, “I big, you tell me.” I laughed, “Yes you are a big boy, but this is just for the adults, alright?” He pouted but nodded his head. Rosalie jumped right in, “Come on Liam let’s go play upstairs.” She looked at me and mouthed, ‘I’ll be listening.’  I watched them leave and go upstairs, I could tell having Rosalie around was going to be a blessing. Emmett walked over and pulled me down on the couch next to him, “What did she see love?” I shook my head trying to clear my mind, “Alexander.” I said simply. “He is gathering other nomads for an attack. He wants my mother back, and now he wants me too.” Emmett immediately started to growl, “Over my dead body!”

    I felt Emmett shaking from head to toe, I could see how upset my mother was but she was silent. “Alice has already told everyone what’s going on. They want to get together and strategize.” I thought maybe it would break the tension, but it didn’t. After some of the longest moments of my life I got up and walked upstairs. When I got to Liam’s playroom, he and Rose were playing with some of his blocks. She looked me in the eyes with a knowing look, but stayed quiet. Liam realized I was in the room then, “Mommy look, I build. It’s big, see?” He pointed with his chubby little finger at his towers. He was so proud of his work. I smiled, “Wow buddy, look at that.” He went right back to building. I knew we needed to leave but I hated to interrupt him. I took a deep breath to calm my nerves, “Liam, How about we go play with Renesmee?” He started bouncing up and down, “Nessie! She fun, lets go.” I couldn’t help but laugh, it seemed the two of them would be very close, and I was so glad for that. “Alright buddy, let’s get going.”



Emmett’s POV:

    I watched silently as the love of my life walked away from me. I knew she was going to get our son, but it hurt to see it none the less. I remembered that my mother in law was in the room with me, I looked over at her and immediately felt badly. She was visibly shaking with anger, “Liz, are you alright?” She began shaking her head, “No I am absolutely not alright. This man I stupidly fell in love with is after my daughter, this is all my fault. If I had just stayed away from him from day one none of this would be going on right now.” I turned my heard then when I heard Liam’s  little voice, “What wrong mommy?” He was looking at Jewel and trying to shake an answer out of her. Jewel looked angry, “Mom, no! Absolutely not, you will not blame yourself for this. Not even for a second. I couldn’t be happier about the life I have now. I am in love with and planning to marry the most amazing man I have ever know. I have a beautiful intelligent little boy.” With that Liam got angry, “NO MOMMY!” We all looked at him shocked, “Not buful, I a boy, I handsome.” That got us all laughing. “Yes my sweet boy, your very handsome, I’m sorry.” He nodded his head and smiled, and Jewel was free to continue. “Mom, I am happy with my life, and I won’t let you blame yourself for some psycho shaking things up.”

    Elizabeth smiled at Jewel, but it was easy to see how difficult that was for her. “I’m happy that your not blaming me Jewel, but honestly, this problem is not going to go away. Alex, knows a lot of people, they know he is a tracker, and most are afraid to cross him. This wont be easy, we could be talking about a big fight here.” Finally I knew it was time to get moving, I didn’t want to do a lot of talking in front of Liam. “Lets go to the big house, we can talk more there and I’m sure Ness is waiting for her cousin.” Liam started bouncing in Jewel’s arms “Dat me, dat me. I her cousin.” I smiled, I loved being a father, “That’s right pal, let’s get going.”

    We ran to the big house with Liam riding on my back giggling the entire way. When we got to the big house I knew everyone was there already although it was unusually quiet inside. When we walked through the door I noticed everyone seemed on edge, as if afraid of our, or my reactions to the news. I’m a father now, I have to act more civilized, at least when Liam is around. Renesmee ran into the room and started telling Liam about every minute that they were apart. I was fairly certain they were going to grow up and be inseparable, I looked at Edward who smiled and nodded in agreement. If not for the impending problems from Alex, our lives would be as close to perfect as anyone could want them. Thinking about that made me angry. This one insignificant man was turning our worlds upside down. Jewel and I should be enjoying time with our son and her mother. Planning the wedding of the century, or at least the very small amount of it Alice lets us help with. Instead we are all on edge. I’m looking forward to ripping this guy apart.

    Alice must have finally decided the quiet was too much, “OK enough! I realize we are all angry but maybe we could try and figure out how we are going to handle this?” Just then Jacob, Quil and Embry walked in, “Hey guys how’s it going? Where’s Nessie?” Everyone just stared at him, it wasn’t his fault he didn’t know what was going on. Rosalie piped in, “Listen Mongrel we have some real problem’s going on, go away.” She smiled at the last part, they had a weird friendship. Jacob frowned, “What’s up? Is everyone ok, I mean is Ness?” He seemed as if he literally couldn’t finish the sentence. “Don’t worry Jake she’s fine. It’s Jewel and Liz that we need to worry about. Alice had a vision of Alex putting together a bunch of nomads to try and kidnap them.” Jacob began growling and shaking, “Why didn’t you call us sooner, you know we aren’t just going to sit around when some rogue bloodsuckers, are coming after family.” We all just sort of blinked at him, “Oh come on, at this point, I think it’s obvious we care about each other. Don’t look at me like that.”



Liam’s POV:

    I was upstairs in the room Nessie and I use to play with our toys when Nessie started jumping up and down, “My Jacob is here. I hear him, yay!” Jacob was Nessie’s wolf boy, he was sometimes a big huge boy and sometimes a big huge wolf, I liked him and the other wolf boys, and even the wolf girl but she doesn’t come around as much. Nessie ran out of the room and I followed her. I was hoping to see my Rose, I missed her. When I made it downstairs it seemed like everyone was not happy. Rose and one of the wolf boys were sitting together on a small couch talking, they were sitting too close together and I didn’t like it. I walked over to her slowly, usually she see’s me right away, but when I was right next to the couch she still hadn’t said hi to me.

    After what seemed like forever, I walked over to a corner and sat down. I was sad my Rose didn’t see me. Nessie was sitting with her wolf boy, and my Rose was sitting with that big mean wolf boy Embry. I didn’t like him anymore, he made my Rose forget about me. Maybe he is the boy I saw with my Rose, when she looked so happy in my head pictures. I was looking down at my hands because I started to cry and I didn’t want anyone to see, I noticed someone sitting down next to me. When I looked up, I saw my daddy, “Hi daddy”, I sniffled. “Hey pal, why are you crying?” I shrugged my shoulders, I didn’t know what to say to him.

    “Come on buddy, what’s wrong?”  I pointed to my Rose, “I was next to her, she didn’t even see me. She talking to that mean wolf boy.” My daddy smiled, “Why is he a mean wolf boy buddy?” “Cause he made my Rose forget me. Maybe he is the boy from my head pictures, and he makes her happy. I want my Rose happy, but I don’t want her to forget me.” I started to cry a little harder, and my dad pulled me onto his lap. “This is going to be hard for you to understand, but Embry is not going to make Rosalie forget you. I know her very well, and someday I will tell you all about that, but Rosalie loves you very much, she is worried right now, and that’s why she didn’t notice you.” I looked up at him, “She won’t?” My dad stroked my back, “Definitely not Liam, You are way too important to her, and definitely unforgettable.” I smiled a little, but I still wished I could be with my Rose, it’s hard for me to explain but sometimes I just have to be with her. I got up out of my daddy’s lap and walked over to my Aunt Alice and uncle Jasper, they always made me feel better.



Jewel’s POV:

    After Jacob and the rest of his pack showed up we started talking strategically. From what I’ve been told about “the big Volturi run in” It was starting to sound similar. Basically everyone was talking about asking friends to help us if it came down to a nasty fight. We were all hoping Alice would be able to get some sort of an idea how many nomads were going to help Alex and when it was going to happen, but for now we wouldn’t know for sure until the time came. As it stood right now we had us, and the wolves. Edward was fairly certain we could talk quite a few more vampires into coming if it came down to it. Renesmee had dazzled so many of them, that he was sure Liam would do the same. That was easy for me to imagine, He dazzled me every minute.

    I looked around the room to find him, and I noticed he and Emmett sitting alone in the corner talking. Emmett was rubbing small circles on Liam’s little back and he looked as if he had been crying. After a short moment, I caught Emmett’s eye and he shook his head and mouthed ‘later’, apparently it was a father son type of moment. That’s when it dawned on me that I hadn’t really talked to my mother since we had gotten the news. I walked over to the chair she was sitting statue still in, and knelt beside her. “Mom, are you alright?” She was obviously deep in thought because she seemed startled when I spoke. “What? Oh, yeah I’m ok, just thinking.”  Just as she said that, Edward gasped, and Liam Jumped up out of Emmett’s arms, “NO GAMA, NO!” He began shaking and crying, he ran to my mother and jumped up into her arms, buried his little head into her neck and held on for dear life.

    It all happened so fast I was beyond confused with what was happening. My mother was trying to calm Liam down, and Emmett began asking Edward questions. “Why did you gasp Edward, what’s wrong with him? What the hell just happened?” Edward walked over to Liam, “Hey buddy it’s uncle Edward can you please look at me?” Liam shook his head no and clung even harder to my mother. “Liam, Aunt Alice and Uncle Jasper would really like to talk to you. Aunt Alice see’s pictures in her head just like you do. I think she can make you feel better.” Liam looked right at Alice, “You see dem too Ali?” Alice was next to him in an instant, “I sure do, your special just like me. I can tell you all about it.” She held out her arms to him, he looked at my mother hugged her one more time and let Alice take him. Edward put his hand on Alice’s shoulder to stop her and whispered, “Explain to him how visions change, the best you can so he can understand it doesn’t mean it will happen.” She nodded and walked upstairs with my very sad little boy.

    “Ok, would someone like to explain to me what just happened to my son?” Edward motioned for us to sit down, ‘ I was listening to the thoughts your mother was having, she was getting dangerously close to making a bad decision. As quick as that thought came to my mind, Liam had a vision of Liz being ripped apart by Alex and some of the other nomads when she met with him alone.” I couldn’t believe what I was hearing, why would my mother put herself in unnecessary danger. “Mom, why would he have seen that, what were you thinking?” My mother let our a long breath, “I thought if I gave myself up to him, he would leave you alone. I don’t want Liam to lose you, the same way you lost me.” Edward seemed to have an idea about this, “I would assume that when your mother had this thought, it coincided with a thought Alex was having to get her alone. Which means Liam’s visions are stronger than Alice’s, he can get them when touching someone, and when a certain decision is made.”





A/N: Call me horrible but I think I will stop this chapter here. I absolutely wanted to get a chapter out today and I need to strategize a little to figure out how I want this all to work out. I promise it wont be 7 months between chapters. Thanks to all of you who are still reading.
