Rileypov

"As you wish…"

I say and look back in time. That dreadful day where I thought for sure… I just knew… I close my eyes that knot gnawing at my throat…

"We're under attack." Diego says as he rushes in. Carlisle and I look to one another as I hold Bella and I's little girl. "How?" Kevin says. "They must have figured out where we were!" I say handing our baby over to Angie. "We don't have long Fred and I saw them shifting already through the woods."
"Fuck! They must be in proximity enough for it to take effect!" Carlisle clears his throat. "Could I be of assistance? I wish to keep them away from Bella and the child as well." I look to my coven then to Carlisle.

"But you've got your own coven and family to worry about if something was to happen sir…"

"Nonsense they would understand please allow me to assist."

"You've done so much for us already sir."

He shrugs with a smile.

"Let him help us Riley." Diego says as we already hear the howls and scurrying going on outside the house. I give a simple nod.

"Fred…" I hint and he takes Bella's side.

"Watch over both women and the baby Fred don't let anyone get past you if they get inside."

Fred nods. Paul and I look to one another.
"I'll call my boys once we're outside."

We dash out locking the door behind us seeing the line of the children of the moon heading our way. Paul immediately shifts and begins to howl out. Diego starts his flame thing and bounces it around like a ball in his hands.

"Time for some fun." He smirks my way as he sends a ball of fire their way thus making the battle on.

Kevin and Casey team up taking on the first few that come through. I disappear off and on taking out who I can but am careful not to get hurt as I know it will take away from my abilities. Carlisle now that is an impressive vampire. His age certainly showed in his fighting technique. Paul however focused on one were in particular. I stood aside letting him at him as promised. Paul nods to me in his massive wolf form and stalks Mike's father. I turn however as I'm ripping one's jugular out to hear Diego holler out. I turn and see Bree on the ground with two were's on top of her. I snap into attention and flip around tossing one off her and try to make my way to the other as he takes her arm.

"FUCK!" I holler and rapidly pick Bree up.

"It's ok hun I got you." I say making a mad dash past the battle.

"No baby…" Diego says looking broken as he makes his way towards us.

Carlisle see's our predicament and rushes to her side.

"I'll take her in."

Bree's back arches in pain and Diego shakes his head. He leans over quickly kissing her lips.

"She'll be ok." I try to assure as we have more were's heading our way.

The battle continues and I look around making sure all my coven is still intact. So far so good… Or so I thought… I turn to see more were's making their way around and going right for the door to the house. "DIEGO!" I holler out and he closes his eyes and his entire body lights up as he expels the fire within him a few of the were's catch fire rolling onto the ground but the other two bust down the door.

"SHIT!" I finish of the were I'm dealing with then dash inside. Carlisle has Angie and the baby off into a corner protectively standing before them. Fred has one of the were's in his grasp against the wall. But I turn and see the other has my Bella. I swallow back and think quick.

I appear behind him taking his neck but I look to Carlisle realizing he's broken Bella's back.

"What will that do!" I yell frantically.

"Honestly I do not know I've never witnessed such a thing during a change and to be honest that is if she's changing."

My fucking emotions are crazed as I do my best to lay her back down.

"Please Bella. Please darlin'…" I beg.

If I were human I'd be breaking the fuck down by now.

Hours have past and we continue the battle. Though we're growing weary as we desperately need to feed. However the number of were's has greatly decreased to the point where they are now outnumbered. Still my concern is on Bella and the vision of her broken back taunts me.

"RILEY WATCH OUT!"
I holler out as a were claws against my back deeply. It fucking burned like a son of a bitch. I felt myself fighting for air even though I don't need it. Another one piles on top of me and claws at my chest.

"RILEY DAMN IT GET UP!"

Diego yells.

"You got a fucking kid now get the fuck up!" Paul says running next to me taking out the were.

He grabs my hand forcing me up.

"FIGHT YOU IDIOT!"

I half smirk at this with a nod.

Finally, we all look to each other seeing that all that stands now is each other. However Paul and I look to be missing some of our people.

"Casey? Kevin?" I call out.

"Seth?" He calls out and Leah snaps into attention on hearing her brother's name being called out.

After a few more moments of panic we both sigh in relief to see each of them coming from the woods high fiving each other. Paul and I nod to one another. We start to pile up the massive load of bodies and burn them.

"Go on dude." Diego says to me.

Paul nods as I look to the house.

"Go be with your family we got this."

I nod in return and head to the house where I see Angie rocking our baby girl and Carlisle checking Bella over and positioning her best he can.

"I managed to snap it back in place. If she is indeed turning the heal will take effect itself."

"Thank you."
He nods towards me and adjusts her clothing and positions her hands.

The others join before too long and marvel over our child but Kevin keeps his distance admiring from afar.

"New to the diet?" Carlisle says taking notice of this.

"Not particularly I just don't have as great of control I suppose you could say." Kevin says with a wink.

"My son Jasper has that issue we're still working with. Perhaps you two could meet one day. I'm sure he'd like to know someone that has a bit of the same issue. He's a lot of guilt about him on this."

"I'd like that." Kevin says.

My coven only grew closer and we got to know more about Carlisle and his family and how they do things. Angie and Paul never left as they continued to help watch over our child and get to know my coven. Angie would break down every once in a while as she looked upon Bella as the third day came about Carlisle smiles and leans into my ear.

"I do not see or smell any signs of decomposing."

I nod getting what he was going on about. I look to the time.

"But perhaps it would be wise to take the child out of here?"

I look to Bella and then our baby.

"Of course you are right. She will be of a newborn. I say thinking back to when my coven was merely newborns themselves and all they thought about was bloodlust."

"We'll watch over her!" Angie says with a smile.

"Great like playing house." Paul says as if annoyed but winks at me.

However day three had fully passed and Bella did not wake. Day four still she did not wake.

"I don't understand." Carlisle says to me looking her over.

She's got all the signs. Meanwhile I'm completely broken. I've not talked or feed since the end of day three. All that runs through my head is the memories of this beautiful girl I once feel in love with how we started off as friends and it became so much more. Finally the end of day four has come and it's now day five.

"I'm sorry son…" Carlisle says my undead heart sinks.

"My Bella." Is all I can finally muster.

Carlisle continues to look highly confused he even takes it upon himself to check her pulse and give her a full medical look over… My fish clench and I buckle down to my knees in pain. Diego pulls Bree into his chest to comfort her. Kevin shakes his head looking to me. But I look to Bella and feel my world has come to an end…

I lean against the tree now watching our little girl swinging.

"Catch me daddy!"

I stand up and smile.

"As you wish…"

I appear in front of her and she flies off the swing into my arms.

But we turn and see her coming out of the house. The beautiful angel I'd thought I lost. I place our Jaden Vanessa down as she runs to her mother. Bella scoops her up.

"It's time for your nap baby girl."

"But mommy."
"Listen to what your mother says darlin'."

She puckers her lip out and I cock my brow Bella's way. Bella laughs and takes her inside I follow closely behind and listen as Bella reads her a story and Jaden is out before long.

Once Bella rises I put my arms around her waist and kiss along her neck.

"Can mommy and daddy take a nap too?"

"Ah, but we don't nap…"
"Exactly…" I say taking her hand and leading her to the bedroom.

I waste no time getting her clothes off and throwing her onto the bed. She still has that same smile and giggle she had when I first feel in love with her. I smile on this and crawl onto the bed.

"You're in trouble now…"

"Am I?"

"Most certainly so…"

I throw off my shirt and undo my pants. I guide myself inside her and lose myself within her. Her legs wrap around me and I feel her wetness escaping below.

"God Bella." I moan out and feel her kissing along my chest and shoulders.

I cum hardcore and she arches her back biting upon her lip the sexy way she does. I raise a brow and grin kissing her lips as I roll over and she rest her head along my chest.

"It must have been because of her back breaking during the transformation she needed more time!" Carlisle says to me as she finally wakes as it's almost day six and we had begun to make plans that sickened me to no end.

I'll never forget what it was like seeing this magnificent vampire before me rise. She was and is the most stunning thing I'd ever lay eyes on. I'd literally fell in love with her all over. But that was a while ago now. Our daughter is now six and Bella is now my wife. We still run the Cerberus Haven Coven but have our own house to raise Jaden in. we've also gotten pretty close to the Cullen's. Jasper in particular Paul and I have made quite good friends with and Alice, Angie, Bree and Casey are damn near inseparable and all the Cullen's have grown quite fond of our Jaden.

Carlisle predicts the reason the were's were able to change around Bella was because of Jaden he's not sure what to call it. But her ability seems to have something to do with exposing those with their true abilities showing them for what they truly are. Crazy shit but it is what it is… She also grows quickly but Carlisle says once she's about 16 to 17 it will slow down like that Nahuel he told us about.

My life couldn't be more complete then it is now. I got a lovely wife wonderful daughter and great coven. We've managed to make great friends with others along the way.

"I love you darlin'"

"I love you too Riley."

And I suppose that about wraps up our story of In love and war… Not many can say they get their high school sweetheart for eternity but I can… In a way I suppose everyone got their happily ever after…

Riley Bier…
