The HTC First, aka, the Facebook phone, is reportedly being discontinued. AT&T / Shutterstock
Even after AT&T slashed the price of the Facebook phone from $99 to $0.99, it still only sold 15,000 units last week, according to a source speaking to BGR. It turns out that's crappy enough for AT&T, according to this source, to discontinue the much-hyped phone.
After years of speculation the social network finally released Facebook Home, software that Mark Zuckerberg said would put people before apps on Android devices, almost exactly one month ago. The phone, actually called the HTC First, was the first smartphone to ship with Facebook Home pre-installed.
The source told BGR that AT&T sales representatives do not like Facebook Home or the First at all, and they are making little if any effort to sell the handset to customers. Unsold inventory will be returned to HTC, according to the story.
In an email to Upstart Business Journal an AT&T spokesperson wrote, "As mentioned previously, we do pricing promotions all the time and have made no decisions on future plans."

text: WARNING: This will have spoilers for the entire Mortal Kombat series. Please don't spoil yourself. WARNING: tl;dr. Seriously. I've not realized it before, but there are tons of people who don't know the storyline of one of the most interesting characters in Mortal Kombat: Sub-zero. No, I'm not talking about Kuai Liang or Bi Han, the younger and older brothers, respectively and two wielders of the name. I'm talking about the mask itself, the blue ninja Sub-zero. The cold assassin with the unknown identity. Bi Han and Kuai Liang are not full human. They come from a line of cryokinetic warriors from Outworld, which allowed them to have their iconic ice abilities. Years ago, when Bi Han and Kuai Liang were children, they were kidnapped from their family by the Lin Kuei (林鬼) and trained to become assassins. Bi Han, being the older brother and being more powerful than his brother soon rose as the best theif and assassin in the Lin Kuei. Sub-zero's story started here, as Bi Han (璧漢). Just before the events of the most important Mortal Kombat tournament in the history of Earthrealm, Bi Han was called upon by the Lin Kuei Grandmaster to steal a scroll in a Shaolin temple. Here is where he would meet with his eternal rival, Scorpion, and brutally kill him. Upon returning to the Lin Kuei, Sub-zero found that Scorpion had been hired by Quan Chi, who had also slain the entire Shirai Ryu clan (Scorpion's clan and the Lin Kuei's enemy) as payment for Sub-zero's scroll. The scroll was a map into the Temple of Elementals, which contained an amulet of mystical powers. Quan Chi himself could not retrieve it, for he had upset the gods, but Bi Han had never done such a thing. With him being the most powerful member of the Lin Kuei, the mission was placed onto him. Sub-zero faced four elemental gods, the guardians of the Temple, and hundreds of traps and warrirors, defeating each until he accomplished his mission and retrieved the amulet. I should mention that one of the guardians was the God of Wind, Fujin. Yes, Sub-zero (Bi Han) has killed a god before and not a god that has made himself mortal in order to fight int he Mortal Kombat tournament, a full powered god. Upon releasing the seal that kept Quan Chi from taking the amulet, none other should appear but the bald headed demon himself. Quan Chi revealed that the amulet was actually an artifact that would replenish the ancient Elder God, Shinnok (who had been banished to the Netherrealm for treachery) to full power. Quan Chi teleported away and the elder god Raiden appeared in his place. Sub-zero had endangered Earthrealm, maybe even all of the realms. Now Raiden was forcing him to fix it. Raiden does not have full power in the Netherrealm, so he sent Sub-zero down to stop Quan Chi. Quan Chi had expected this, though and had his guards to ambush Sub-zero and lock him in the Prison of Souls, where he would meet Scorpion once again. Scorpion was now a spectre, who blamed Sub-zero for the death of his clan and family (A Quan Chi did it). Sub-zero defeated him once again and escaped from the prison in hell. He would run into Quan Chi's three woman team of warriors, Sareena, Kia, and Jataaka. Though he had killed her two partners, Sub-zero spared Sareena's life. Sub-zero made it to Quan Chi's fortress and confronted him, learning that the darkness in heart had kept him alive in the Netherrealm. Sub-zero defeated Quan Chi (with some unnecessary help from Sareena) and faced Shinnok. Shinnok killed Sareena and used the amulet to battle Sub-zero. Sub-zero stole the amulet from him and Shinnok transformed into a powerful demon. It's unknown if Sub-zero officially fought the demon, but... Well... Sub-zero had saved Earthrealm, maybe even all of the realms. Raiden informed Sub-zero that the darkness in his heart was not one of Quan Chi's lies. If he continued on his path, upon death he would face a fate that even Raiden does not know of... And thus, Sub-zero was he had received an invite into the Mortal Kombat tournament by Shang Tsung himself. Since the Lin Kuei had a contract on Shang Tsung's head, Sub-zero joined with the intention of claiming the bounty. This is where Sub-zero would die, to his most powerful rival no less: Scorpion. Kuai Liang (奎良) had learned of his older brother's death and failure to assassinate Shang Tsung. He dropped his old codename of Tundra and took up the mantle of his brother, becoming the new Sub-zero. He would then enter the tournament with intentions of murdering Shang Tsung and avenging his brother and was accompanied by his "friend" Tomas Vrbada a.k.a Smoke. (friendship is a taboo in the Lin Kuei, most trusted ally would be more suitable for their relationship, but...). Scorpion would witness Sub-zero spare a life, and did not understand why he would. He would soon realize that this was not Bi Han, but Kuai Liang and swore not to harm him. In the end, Sub-zero and Smoke would not complete their objectives and returned to the Lin Kuei. Meanwhile, Raiden's words had come true. Bi Han descended into hell and would become one of the creatures he had fought against in his battle against Shinnok and Quan Chi: A member of the Brotherhood of Shadow. He now answered to Shinnok as Noob Saibot. During the events of this Mortal Kombat tournament, Noob Saibot acted as a spy. This would be the final Mortal Kombat tournament, ever. A while after the tournament, the Lin Kuei started the infamous Cyber initiative. They would change their warriors into cyborgs, raising their effectiveness and abilities. The first four chosen for this experiment were Sub-zero, Smoke, Cyrax, and Sektor (who was the Grandmaster's son). Though Cyrax was against the initiative, he went through with it and Sektor happily signed for it. Sub-zero and Smoke, however, refused this and ran from the Lin Kuei, becoming renegades. This marked them for death and though Sub-zero was able to escape, Smoke was captured and became a robot. The cyborgs were then sent on their first mission: To hunt Sub-zero down and kill him. Shao Khan would attack with his invasion from Outworld, which would change the realms forever. Thousands of souls were taken, but Sub-zero's was one of the few spared. His assassins were unaffected, since they did not have souls, so they still hunted him down. Sub-zero would meet Smoke and reprogram him in order to help him fight Sektor and Cyrax. Though Sektor was defeated and escaped, Cyrax was captured by Sub-zero as well and reprogrammed to fight Shao Khan with him an Smoke. Yes, Sub-zero (Kuai Liang) took his own assassins and turned them into his own personal underlings. Noob Saibot would fight alongside Shao Khan, because Shinnok told him to. After the defeat of Shao Khan, Shinnok would rise again and attempt his take over of the realms. Sub-zero would fight along side Raiden's forces in order to stop him. Quan Chi would convince Scorpion that Kuai Liang had part in the death of the Shirai Ryu as well and Scorpion would attempt to kill him. They would fight and Scorpion would be the victor. Before the final strike, Quan Chi would appear and explain his lie, believing Sub-zero to die anyway. As he sent Scorpion to the Netherrealm, Scorpion would attack him and bring them both into a level of hell where Scorpion has more power than Quan Chi, who is practically powerless here. Scorpion would spend most of his time torturing and hunting Quan Chi here as Sub-zero finished assisting with the defeat of Shinnok. During this attack, Noob Saibot would would fight alongside Shinnok, but after Shinnok's death, Noob pledged allegiance to Shao Khan for his own purposes... Soon Quan Chi would escape from hell and work together with Shang Tsung to form the Deadly Alliance. Sub-zero would return to the Lin Kuei after learning that Sektor murdered the Grandmaster. Sub-zero fought his way to Sektor and defeated Sektor in a one on one duel, claiming the Dragon Medallion. Sektor would run off to Japan, but Sub-zero used the Dragon Medallion to power his abilities far past he could ever imagine. Sub-zero would change the Lin Kuei into a force for good. Sub-zero would hold a tournament in order to find new recruits for the clan and the winner of the tournament would be a warrior would power over cold, similar to him. Enter Frost, Sub-zero's apprentice who was brash and arrogant, but would be a helpful ally nonetheless. After the death of Liu Kang, they would work together with Raiden's forces to fight the Deadly Alliance. During the battles, Frost would attempt to steal Sub-zero's medallion ad wuld be consumed by her own freezing abilities. Sub-zero would blame himself for this and would keep her frozen body in the temple of the Lin Kuei until he found a way to help her. Sub-zero was not around for the final battle because of this reason, and this may have spared his life. A hefty majority of the forces of good had been killed or imprisoned and Onaga had risen. Raiden was not able to stop him and the Dragon King became a serious threat. After finding out about the death of Shao Khan, Noob Saibot would decide to stop being an underling. He didn't care about Onaga's rising, so he searched Khan's empty fortress for resources to start his own army and would find Smoke. After some reprogramming, a new villain was born. Noob would create an army of shadow-cyborgs. After burying Frost, Sub-zero attempted to reunite with Raiden but was ambushed by tarkatans and his new enemy, Hotaru, a warrior of the Realm of Order. He was ordered by Onaga to kill Sub-zero. Sub-zero would end up finding and helping the injured samurai, Kenshi. After being blinded in a second assault by Hotaru, Kenshi would return the favor and save Sub-zero from death, working with him to defeat Hotaru. Sub-zero then met and teamed up with Sareena later, in order to fight Noob Saibot and Smoke. They would escape, leaving Sub-zero confused. When Sub-zero returned to the Lin Kuei, he found that Frost had returned and saw every human as Sub-zero, slaying many of his men. Sub-zero froze her in a block of ice, knowing that soon she would come to her senses and would pay for what she had now done. Noob Saibot would launch one final attack on the Lin Kuei, but his attack was foiled, thanks to the help of Taven. Kuai Liang would atempt to purify his brother, but would fail,. Both would later die in the Battle of Armageddon. Kuai Liang would die by baraka's hand after killing his rival Scorpion. Bi Han would die from sword wounds. Would this be the end of Sub-zero? Not at all... For then the events of Mortal Kombat 9 would occur! If you have not watched this (how?) then please do. This would be where the story of Sub-zero ends... Maybe? With the two brothers dead, maybe there will be another to wear the mask of Sub-zero. Who? Who knows? Besides NRS, of course. With the death of both brothers, Sub-zero becomes a legend of characters. Each incarnation of Sub-zero (and the brothers themselves) are extremely different, from their life beliefs (Bi Han is in it for the money, then later to becom a powerhouse and Kuai Liang wants to fight for good.) especially evident from their starts as extremely similar "evil assassins". They would become two of the most influential characters in the story of Mortal Kombat while wearing one mask. Quite easy to see, the two brothers are extremely different from each other. As stated their first appearances, they appeared as simple assassins. They are perfect foils to each other in every way. They have one of the largest and most detailed and deep stories of any of the characters in the Mortal Kombat series belongs to him. Sub-zero. tl;dr: The entire story of Sub-zero (Bi Han and Kuai Liang) until now and a comparison of the two brothers. ... And why I like him so much Thanks to anyone who read all of this, took a while.

Up on the roof of the hotel, Essien's teammates are getting their hair cut. When the barber finishes his work, they check their reflection in the mirror and dream of how they will look on TV when they score the winning goal in the approaching semi-finals. A lucrative move to a European club and then, like Mike, the world will sing their name.
In a restaurant, on Luanda's fashionable Miami Beach, PUMA Football meets two gifted young players who exist just slightly below the Black Stars in the game's food chain. The boys arrived from England six months ago to play professional football in Angola having been spotted by an agent while on trial at Manchester United.
Junior, a Brazilian born 20-year-old Cristiano Ronaldo lookalike, admits he misses his family and friends but says that this was an opportunity too great to turn down. In a broad Yorkshire accent, his mate Igor agrees, playing here in Africa simply gives you an experience you couldn't get elsewhere. Their plan is to spend a couple of seasons here and then secure a move back to Europe. Neither has given up the dream of playing for Manchester United.
A couple of miles away, on a rusty tin can strewn clay pitch, a gaggle of kids hare after a football. A few wear mismatching boots, others play in socks or just barefoot. Regardless, they tear around with a wild intensity, flying into tackles or leaping into the air to attempt bicycle kicks before landing in the dust. They dream of becoming international stars until the ball squirts under the tyre of a slow moving SUV and, with horrible inevitability, it pops. A simpler metaphor for the dreams of so many footballers you couldn't wish for but as the Cup of Nations reaches the do or die stage, one or two young players just might become superstars overnight.

Gov. Martin O'Malley took his defense of Maryland's struggling health exchange onto national television Sunday after CNN host Candy Crowley described its rollout as "disastrous by most accounts."
O'Malley's defense came as Rep. John Delaney of the Western Maryland 6th District renewed his call for the state to abandon its exchange for the federal system, and O'Malley's remarks prompted criticism from some skeptical lawmakers.
The governor said the state did not drop the ball on the project, despite knowing about problems well before the problematic launch. The creation and launch of the site were riddled with problems, including feuding contractors, shoddy technology and troubled management.
"This complex IT challenge had ups and downs every step of the way. There were lots of cautionary lights, lots of red lights, but there were also green lights," O'Malley said. "This was a very complicated endeavor."
O'Malley made his comments in a wide-ranging interview on CNN's "State of the Union" that touched on whether he is still evaluating a run for president, his position that the state's minimum wage should be increased to $10 an hour, and that he had considered moving Maryland's troubled health exchange to the federal site as far back as June.
The governor said he still expects the state to meet its goal of enrolling 260,000 people in health care by March 31 even as the state lags far behind its goal to enroll people in private plans. About 180,000 total people have enrolled in private plans and Medicaid, O'Malley said. While enrollment in Medicaid has exceeded state goals, the state has signed up about 20,000 of the 150,000 officials say they hope to enroll in private plans.
Officials at the exchange have said some of the Medicaid enrollees may be duplicates or they may not have submitted all the required paperwork.
"That web site is now functional for most citizens," the governor said. "And we're still working through the problems."
That didn't ease the concerns of some Republican critics.
Del. Justin Ready, a Republican from Carroll County, said in a phone interview after the appearance that the governor's "rhetoric is wearing a little thin."
"I wouldn't take a victory lap yet if I was the governor," Ready said.
State House Minority Leader Nic Kipke of Anne Arundel County said he is not confident the state has a solution that will make the site work.
"Everything the governor is saying has more to do with politics than the actual experience we are having with the exchange," Kipke said. "As we continue to move forward, there is a cost to repairing the exchange. And to date, there doesn't seem to be any clear fix."
O'Malley acknowledged the exchange's troubled start during the CNN interview, as he has in the past.
"We squibbed the kickoff," he said. "But we're making it better."
O'Malley gave some indication that moving to the federal site is not a panacea as some fellow Democrats, including Delaney, a Montgomery County Democrat, have suggested. Delaney reinforced his stance in a statement Sunday.
"In addition, and at a minimum, Maryland should consider running Healthcare.gov and the Maryland Connection simultaneously to expand options for Marylanders," Delaney said. "To my mind, the fact that the White House has offered to take over portions of Maryland's exchange underscores my own independent analysis that this transition is not difficult from a technical perspective."
O'Malley said it's something that, perhaps, should be evaluated after the enrollment period has ended.
"It's not only the benefits, but it's also the risks of switching over in the middle of enrollment ... and diverting the IT assets and resources to this," O'Malley said.
Sen. Barbara A. Mikulski also said last week that moving to the federal site, which also had a "creaky" start like in Maryland, would not be advantageous.

This week's news features volcanoes, skeletons, and stars, as well as a thought-provoking new book from InterVarsity press.
From science and religion blogs: quantum uncertainty and God, the remarkable fact that we have come to understand our place in the created order, and the role of theology in making wise choices about the use of technology.
So what is BioLogos? Well it all began with a scientist and a book.
The new Gallup survey shows in broad strokes the challenge we face. But more nuanced surveys find that only 8% of Americans are convinced creationists whose beliefs are dear to them, and only 4% are convinced atheistic evolutionists whose beliefs are dear to them. The vast majority of Americans are not sure of their position and are open to a conversation.
We are searching for a qualified candidate to serve as Content Editor, beginning August 1.
We now take for granted an understanding of the Christian story that was largely worked out by Paul and later theologians. Even though the Gospels were composed after Paul's letters, they were concerned to tell the story itself in all its strangeness as it had been preserved by the first generation of Christians. And what we find in the stories themselves is the shock and wonder and surprise that the resurrection caused.
Collins' original use of the term "BioLogos" was as an alternative label for the position often known as "theistic evolution." Now this gets a bit confusing as "BioLogos" became the name for our organization that Collins founded (after the publication of this book). We continue to be dissatisfied with the label "theistic evolution" because as Collins said, most non-theologians are unsure how the term "theist" "could be converted to an adjective and used to modify Darwin's theory."
This list didn't come from a boring discussion of "what should be our core values." Rather, each of these commitments came up repeatedly in our discussions of what BioLogos is all about.
"Evangelicals really needed an organization that would stand up and say, in a nutshell, I'm an evangelical, and I accept evolution," he said.
A video greeting from BioLogos President Deborah Haarsma
Today we draw your attention to a couple of short term projects that have been completed and are now visible on our site: Our History and Small Group Resources.
There is no formula for generating beliefs in people. There are plenty of people with access to the same facts who end up believing different things. But for many Christians—like the ones I heard from this week—access to information about the position we call "evolutionary creation" could make a significant difference for reconciling science and Christian faith.
With From the Dust, it was our goal to help Christians see the complexity of the issues raised by modern science, as well as help them to courageously engage with the theological conversations happening within the sphere of Christian culture today.
We're pleased to introduce the first official commercials for BioLogos, produced by Ryan Pettey of Satellite Pictures and featuring BioLogos vice president Jeff Schloss, philosopher Alister McGrath, and theologian NT Wright.
Astronomers have many different methods for measuring the age of various objects in the universe, and they all support ages of billions of years, not thousands. Even if the assumptions of one or two methods were faulty, it is highly unlikely that all of the methods would be affected.
Last month, we announced the 37 grantees from our Evolution & Christian Faith program! This month, we take a closer look at the projects and what's "in the pipeline" over the coming years from these grantees!
So what then does Resurrection mean? For Benedict it represents a new dimension of reality breaking through into human experience. It is not a violation of the old; it is the manifestation of something new.
Over the next few months, with permission from Yale University Press, BioLogos will offer edited versions of chapters from John Polkinghorne's best books, Belief in God in an Age of Science and Theology in the Context of Science, in order to help readers delve more deeply into some of his most important ideas.

Previous administrations have talked about immigration reform but never tackled it in a meaningful way.
That may be changing.
A bi-partisan group of congressional leaders is working with the white house on a plan.
And while both sides of the aisle may be eyeing the growing Latino block of American voters....here in Sioux Falls, any immigration progress would be wide spread.
Sioux Falls has a population of 160,000 people and if you think our city isn't a diverse one, listen to this. "We have 98 different countries represented here. 128 different languages and dialects spoken here. For Sioux Falls, several of these principles would be really nice." Christy Nicolaisen is the executive director of Sioux Falls' Multi-Cultural Center and if you ask her what she thinks of the nation's current immigration system.....well let's just say she is not impressed. "We have a broken system. everyone knows we have a broken system. so something has to happen."
But what should that something be? Nicolaisen tells us, one component needs to involve allowing international students easier access to American universities and then allowing them to remain here to help propel the American economy forward. "I think it will help Sioux Falls is they can start businesses."
Nicolaisen says it would also be beneficial if a way could be found to streamline the citizenship process. Currently, from filing for citizenship to becoming an actual citizen can take six years and in many cases a lot longer than that. What we're seeing in Washington now is an attempt to change the system.....and President Obama vowing to get some type of positive change made. "He's in his second term...its not like he can get voted out...he's in his last term so hopefully he's more effective in getting this done."
So what could immigration reform look like?
On the table right now, more money and attention paid to securing the U-S border with Mexico.
Also, allowing existing illegal immigrants to remain in the country...so long as they have no criminal record.
But in addition, the existing illegals would also have to pay a financial penalty to the federal government.
Also, easing immigration restrictions for students who are studying in critical areas, such as science.
Again, this is in it's early stages so none of this set in stone.

Letters to the Editor
memory of Leroy
The Editor:
This past year Blaine lost one of its most beloved citizens, Leroy Green. At this time of year, most of us remember Leroy as an unfailing Santa Claus to our children and our children�s children.
For more than 30 years, Leroy donned his Santa suit and driven by Mrs. Claus, a.k.a Claudia Green, he visited the children of Blaine at their homes a few days before Christmas bearing gifts and candy paid for with monies from Leroy�s own pocket. The joy and happiness he brought to each family will be sorely missed. So in memory of our beloved Leroy, the Harbor Cafe is collecting unwrapped toys, books, stuffed animals and money to donate to the children�s wing of St. Joseph Hospital. Please stop by and drop off your donation by Sunday, December 21.
Give some joy to an ailing child and in doing so, remember Leroy Green, who unselfishly gave so much to our community. Thank you.
Linda Lawrence
for support
The Editor:
Over the course of any given year the Blaine Family Service Center is the grateful beneficiary of support from a range of individuals, churches, organizations and businesses. Having learned our lessons well as children, we always try to say �thank you� on those occasions. It is probably important to begin trying to do this as publicly as possible, believing that recognition of good acts helps support a positive, hopeful view of the world. In any event, such recognition is now warranted and should be directed toward Bob Christianson and the Pacific Building Center. Let me explain.
Our service center is in the middle of a rather ambitious family literacy project entitled Morning Books, Bedtime Books. It is a collaborative effort that involves, among other things, the construction of bookshelves by high school carpentry students instructed by Jim Rasar. These bookshelves will be provided to primary school families participating in our project. The Pacific Building Center has graciously provided free of charge the lumber necessary for these bookshelves, an act of generosity that not only touches the hearts of service center staff but deserves public notice. It will probably surprise Bob to read this letter as he certainly did not seek public attention when making his generous contribution.
Some of this year�s partners and contributors, such as the �65 Sisterhood Helping Hands, Randy Bellville and BP, Pat Rooney and Blaine Harbor Dental, Cost Cutter and Classic Cleaners and the Whatcom Community Foundation have been brought to the community�s attention. Others, such as the Unitarian Free Church, Semiahmoo Ladies� Club, the United Church of Christ Congregational, the Kenneth L. Kellar Foundation, Walmart�s Employee Giving Program, and individuals such as Shirley White and Janet Hansen have not. I hope I have not omitted any other groups or individuals who have recently supported our center. All are typical of the quiet generosity and commitment that exists within our community.
Leaf Schumann Director,

cat problem
The Editor:
Thank you for your December 4 article about the Whatcom County Humane Society�s effort to educate cat owners about the problem of stray cats.
It upsets me that I would be fined if I fail to pick up my dog, but I have no recourse if someone�s cat defecates in my garden. Why do cat owners lack common courtesy and feel entitled to allow their pets to inconvenience their neighbors in this disgusting manner?
Cats stalk the birds at my birdfeeder and have killed at least two (one was not quite dead when I found it, and most of its skin was torn off). I have a birdfeeder because I love birds, not because I wish to entertain cats. Cat owners justify themselves to me by stating that, being above birds on the food chain, it is acceptable for cats to prey on birds. The flaws in this argument are that: 1) the cats get fed at home and do not actually eat the birds; and 2) domesticated cats are a human introduction and are not natural predators of Northwest birds. Nor are automobiles natural predators of cats. I am often saddened by the sight of dead cats on the roadside, and wonder if I grieve and care more for these unfortunate creatures than their owners do, or the cats would still be alive and safe at home. Statistics show that the life expectancy of indoor cats is almost twice that of outdoor cats. Do we not have an obligation to protect the innocent pets that depend upon us?
Cat owners tell me that they allow their cats to roam because it is �only natural.� If dog owners adhered to this logic, our pets would be running in packs, preying on our young, elderly and sick and cats. However, this is considered highly inappropriate in our society, so we have leash laws. Should not our society also frown upon exposing songbirds to unnecessary death and exposing cats to the dangers of cars, coyotes, birds of prey, parasites and other hazards?

to think about
The Editor:
Not mentioned in the earliest biblical writings, (but now the basis for the annual shopping bash), there is the tale of three Oriental gentlemen bringing gifts to the village of Bethlehem. It is a wonderful, beautiful story and I don�t disparage it; as a historian, I merely wonder at the results in a supposedly rational culture.
Now, to celebrate the birth of the �Prince of Peace,� parents, and doting relatives, buy children violent video games, toy weapons, �action figures,� and Lord knows what all, to extol and praise physical conflict. The whole significance of this wonderful event has been skewed by subsequent mythology. Why should the story of a great spiritual leader and philosopher be buried under the stratas of yule logs, heavy snow, shopping sprees, mistletoe, wreaths, lighted trees, and not the image of a saint, a short, swarthy Greek Bishop in Asia Minor, four centuries after Christ, St. Nicholas?
Who is responsible for this misplaced December buying gluttony? The merchandisers and their flack artists of the media, and the gullible consumers. Maybe 50 years ago, I went to a Christmas mass with some friends in a provincial Mexican town. Even then, the natives were not fond of �Gachupinos,� Spanish immigrants, but native priests were becoming scarce. This particular priest had a European accent and was quite conservative. His main thrust seemed to be that the parishioners should not buy Christmas trees, �a pagan custom.� He was right, but I checked the tree lot across the plaza later. There were few trees left that evening. Now, we are involved in several dubious conflicts in Asia and the Middle East, mostly involving the sources of oil, so that our teenagers can tool their SUVs down the main drag of town on Saturday nights. People are suffering and dying on these Saturday nights, while diplomacy fails. What a time to celebrate! Business as usual. Noel, Noel.

We suppport the spa
The Editor:
We are Birch Point neighbors supportive of Ellen Shea�s retreat/spa. There are many reasons why, but here�s a few.
The rezone applies only to the 10-acre site. The county stated neighbors may attach conditions to the rezone. Ms. Shea is more than willing to meet with concerned neighbors and discuss any conditions they would like to see attached to the rezone. However, Ms. Shea has not been contacted by any concerned neighbors or invited to any meetings. Ms. Shea is a local developer with a proven success record. She created and implemented the Chrysalis Inn in Fairhaven.
We believe the retreat/spa will enhance the property and have less impact on traffic than a dense residential development. If we envision the Blaine and Birch Bay area as a destination spot, we need to create desirable destination sites. An elegant retreat nestled amongst the cedars on the bluffs of Birch Point is a desirable destination site.

for thought
The Editor:
We are confused. We have been reading so much about the cost and difficulties involved in trying to keep the Blaine airport, when the children of this town have to scrape and beg in order to have some place to hang out and play, bless their hearts.
We think the amount of money it would cost (and that already spent) to destroy the wetlands and the trees weeded for that eco-system would be so much better used to build a recreation center, complete with a swimming pool, racquetball court, and games room. Just think, then Blaine could have its own swim team or diving team, and the middle school could add basic swim lessons to their physical eduction curriculum. The adults in this town would surely benefit from a facility such as this as well; water aerobics, senior activities, to name a few. This facility would also create jobs. So let�s stop destroying our beautiful surroundings and get some community health on the list instead.
Would it not be best to stop catering to a very small elite group and do something that would benefit the �whole� community. This will also help to keep some revenue here in Blaine, instead of it always going to Bellingham. Food for thought.

The Editor:
Thank you for your story on �Neighbors for Birch Point� in the December 4 edition of The Northern Light.
Ellen Shea was quoted as saying that �[local residents and property owners] won�t talk to her.� Our primary focus is against the rezone itself, not the spa. The huge community response we�re receiving to our petition confirms that, as will be demonstrated when we present the petition to the planning commission on December 11. It doesn�t make sense for us to spend what little time we�ve had to organize talking to Shea since her project cannot go forward without the rezone. Shea needs to hear that a significant segment of the community is saying no to that rezone.
In response to Mike Kent�s allegation that �the petitioners have not provided a venue to hear the truth about Shea�s plans and then decide,� throughout our campaign, we have described Shea�s project in the same terms as Shea did in her original letter and at the November 12 Birch Bay Steering Committee meeting. We�ve also made copies of Shea�s original letter to the county available at all times.
We have urged everyone to read the actual RC zoning code to decide whether they want to open this neighborhood to the clear and present constellation of possibilities that exist in rezoning this land resort sommercial. Among other things, the codes specifies possible conditioned uses including �hotels/motels/time-share condos with more than 16 sleeping units.� Furthermore, even though the permitted use building height limitation is 35 feet, under a conditional use permit, building height may reach 75 feet.
We have spent a fair amount of money and effort getting copies of the county zoning code to whomever in the community will read it. That is also part of providing a �venue of truth.�

What is the Senior Class Gift Program?
A way for all graduating seniors to leave behind a lasting legacy for their class while taking their first steps towards being proud alumni. Your gift will benefit the Roanoke Fund - the yearly giving program that supports the College's most critical needs. Just as seniors before you, your one gift, when combined with your classmates, will provide future generations of Maroons with the same advantages that you enjoyed during your four years at Roanoke.
What are the fundraising goals for the Class of 2014?
The Goal for the Class of 2014 is 50% participation. Participation means how many seniors make a gift. That is, given approximately 450 graduates, 225 seniors will need to make a gift to the Senior Class Gift Program so we can reach 50%. Although there is no dollar fundraising goal for the Class of 2014, thanks to a Senior Challenge gift by senior parents, all gifts, of any size, will be matched dollar for dollar! For example, your gift of $20.14 would equal $40.28 or $10.14 would equal $20.28, and so on.
Are there any special opportunities for the Class of 2014
YES! The Class of 2014 can join Young Associates (a leadership giving circle for graduates of the last decade) at a reduced membership rate of $50 (usually $100); and if they designate their gift to athletics, they can also become a Maroon Club member!
Your gift will automatically be DOUBLED thanks to a challenge gift by senior parents.

In yesterday's oral argument in Shelby Co. v. Holder, Justice Kagan raised the broad support in Congress in 2006, including in covered jurisdictions, for the extension of section 5 for another 25 years.
Well, that sounds like a good argument to me, Justice Scalia. It was clear to 98 Senators, including every Senator from a covered jurisdiction, who decided that there was a continuing need for this piece of legislation.
So how did members of the Texas delegation vote in 2006?
Well, on the Senate side, as Justice Kagan noted, both Senator Hutchison and Senator Cornyn voted in favor of the extension (as did 96 of their colleagues for a 98-0 vote).
On the House side, 6 members of the Texas delegation (all Republicans) voted 'no.' In all, Texas accounted for 18% of the 33 House members opposing the extension.
The members voting 'no' were Congressmen Joe Barton, Mike Conaway, Jeb Hensarling, Sam Johnson, Ron Paul, and Mac Thornberry. In addition, Congressman Pete Sessions did not vote on the bill.
GOODBYE Todd Akin, Allen West, and Ron Paul!
The Lampson for Congress campaign has filed a formal complaint with the FEC against its opponent Randy Weber for taking more than the maximum amount from seven donors. According to his FEC filings Weber took over $22,500 in excess contributions which brings his actual cash on hand total down to $32,540 from his initial report of $55,040. Lampson's report showed over $420,000 in cash on hand. Weber's campaign contends that it does not need to correct the report or return the money until after the election.

Regarding Nick's opponent:
What Weber fails to mention as well is he is the co-author of the horrendous Trans-Vaginal Sonar for Abortions bill in Texas. Sadly, this is one of the "nicer" things he had done for women in Texas and his record over-all is rather shocking, even by Texas GOP standards, if one can call them standards at all.
I wanna meet Ron Paul, shake his hand, lean in real close and whisper "no one cares" in his ear.

"Queen of Porn" Jenna Jameson, making perhaps one of the most honest endorsements of Mitt Romney one can make.
Mediaite nails it: "What is particularly strange about a Jameson endorsement of Romney is that earlier this year the Republican candidate officially stated that he believes in 'strict enforcement of our nation's obscenity laws, as well as the promotion of parental software controls that guard our children from Internet pornography.'"
Basically, Romney would like to do away with the industry that made Jameson rich. I wonder if she'll make appearances on his behalf like Kid Rock.
I just need to quote Shep Smith:
Shep Smith: Pimps and prostitutes for Ron Paul, Donald Trump for Mitt Romney, we still don't know about Shakira and Big Bird but we'll learn in the next hour.
Judge Napolitano: Isn't it great being in this business?
Shep Smith: It's the weirdest election season I've ever lived through and I've been here for what feels like 130,000.
True story.

Naughty Dog to Release Uncharted 3: Drake's Deception in 2011
While we await David O. Russell's expansion of the Uncharted universe no one asked for, Naughty Dog recently announced a sequel to be released in 2011, tentatively titled Uncharted 3: Drake's Deceit. The game will feature Nathan Drake and partner Sully on a hunt for a lost city, featuring locales in the Arabian Peninsula and Rub' al Khali Desert. Details on the game remain scant for now, though Naughty Dog does promise more multiplayer offerings and the ability to fight multiple enemies at once.
Expect Uncharted 3 to drop in late 2011. In the meantime, enjoy this first teaser trailer.
This is awesome! Perhaps, one of the most anticipated developments of the game. - Michael Courouleau

Chapter One
Bella's POV
It had been a month since the Cullen's left Forks, I snapped out of my depression after Charlie threatened to send me back to Jacksonville to live with my hairbrained mother, Renee. I decided that it was time to move on with my life so what if Edward didn't love me, he told me of one coven of vampires in Italy named the Volturi, I knew that there were three Lords. Lord Aro, Lord Marcus and Lord Caius, they wrote the rules, the one was that no human should know about a vampire's exsistance. Edward and the Cullen's broke that rule, they showed me that they were vampires, I was even hunted by a vampire tracker named James.
Now I lay in bed listening to my dad, Charlie make breakfast in the kitchen. I got up and dressing quickly to go see him before he went to work. That was his family, sure he had me but he spent so much time at work that it was unhealthy.
"Morning Dad!" I said as I pranced into the kitchen. He looked up from the frying pan which held very dark bacon.
"Morning Bells, you're in a good mood." I walked over to him flipped the bacon and gave him a hug.
"Well why wouldn't I? Tomorrow I graduate, and I get to start my travelling idea that we talked about." Dad nodded
"You sure do Bells, anything to keep you happy and free from depression." I smiled meakly at him. He gave up on trying to cook the bacon so I took over and tried to revive the already blackened meat.
"I already asked Sue Clearwater if she would cook for you while I'm gone and she said that you could go over anytime you would like, since your such close friends with Harry." Dad nodded then I gave him his breakfast.
"Thanks Bella, I'm going to miss you." I choked on my glass of water, it almost sounded like he knew I wasn't ever coming back to Forks. That I would actually be in one way or another staying in Italy forevermore.
"You okay Bella?" Dad had lept up and was patting my back as I spat the water out into the sink. I nodded and wiped my mouth off on the back of my hand.
"Thanks dad, I'll miss you too." We just stood there looking a little awkward. I looked at the clock, "You better get going dad or you'll be on time." I said teasingly. He looked up at the clock and smiled,
"Only you Bella only you." He gave me a quick hug and went outside to his cop car.
It was Sunday afternoon I finished packing when I stepped on a floor board by my bed that squeeked. Dad had just done the flooring not long ago, I crouched and peeled the floor board up with my nails. Under the board was everything that reminded me of Edward and his family. I let the floor board snap back into place, it was a good place for all that stuff so I was going to leave it there hoping that when I was long gone and in Italy and Charlie had past away the house would either burn to the ground or the Cullen's would come back and Edward would check that, that stuff was still there. It would be but there would be one thing that wouldn't be there when he left. I would write letter to them hoping that they would actually find it.
I went to my desk pulled out a pen and a pad of paper, I wrote:
Dear Cullen Family;
It has been exactly one month since you left Forks. I was left here in a total state, but now I snapped out of that depression. Charlie and I have been talking more and I decied to travel the world, of course my trip only consists of one destination, Italy. I'm sure that will you miss me but by the time you will have read this I will be long gone. So much for a happy ending huh? Well it was nice knowing you;
With lots of Love
Isabella Marie Swan.
P.S. When you all left, my heart got shattered into many pieces. I'm not letting that slow me down, I'm moving on picking up the pieces as I go so I hope your happy.
I grabbed an envelope folded the letter and wrote: Cullen Family, on the front. I tucked it on top of everything else and stepped on the floor board making sure that it didn't stick up any. I went to my computer, checked my email I had one from my mom, I emailed her back then looked at the clock. Charlie would be getting home soon so I went down stairs and started to cook supper. I grabbed steaks, potatoes and vegetables, I was in the middle of peeling potatoes when Charlie came in.
"Hey Bells I'm home." He came to the kitchen, "What're you cooking?" I looked up and smiled at him.
"Sirlion steaks, potatoes, brocolie and cauliflower. I'll be making a salade too." Dad nodded took of his gun belt hung it up and washed up. He came back to the kitchen grabbed the lettuce, tomatoe, and dressing.
"This will probably be the only thing you'll let me do because it can't get burnt." I laughed and punched his shoulder playfully.
"Well that's because you don't cook salade, dad." He chuckled and we worked in silence. We didn't need words to talk, we just knew that when I was gone there was no turning back. Lots of people said I was very much like my dad. They were right, we didn't talk very much, it didn't bother us to be alone and we knew how the other one was feeling with out really asking. Dad also set table and I brought out the broiled steak, mashed potatoes and veggie mix.
"My little girl's all grown up." Charlie whispered as we sat down to eat.
"Dad I'll always be your little girl, nothing will change that." I said, he could hear the tears in my voice. The crystline tears betrayed me and slid down my cheeks.
"I'm sorry Bells I didn't mean to make you cry." I shook my head,
"No it's okay dad. I love you, and I'll miss you." We finished supper and Dad went to go shower embarressed that he actually broke down and started crying with me. I washed dishes and went to watch the game with dad. It was like a fairwell party just between the two of us and I actually really like it. I went to be that night and slept peacefully, there was no nightmares of the Cullens and for once I was glad that I didn't see Edward's face.
Chapter Two
Bella's POV
Dad actually stayed home from work saying that his little girl was graduating and he wasn't missing it for the world. That got me crying again and the make-up artist aka Angela had to cool me down before finishing my make-up.
"Bella really you have to stop crying!" She cried. I wiped my eyes and put in one headphone. "Good idea. No listening to sappy music!" I smiled and showed her the song, it was Body Body by Massari. She smiled and continued to finish.
Soon we were all standing tall and strong on the stage to recive our deploma, Jessica was in front of me and when she was called I wiped my hands on my gown I was so nervous.
"Isabella Marie Swan, please come forth and take you deploma." I walked forward and from the crowd I heard,
"That's my little girl WOOHOO!" Everyone laughed as I blushed. I blew a kiss out to the crowd since I couldn't see my dad due to the blinding lights. I recieved my deploma waited with the other graduates and threw my cap into the air whooping and halloring with the other.
"Bella you actually made it!" Mom came running over to me.
"MOM!" I hugged her, "Oh I haven't seen you in so long. How are you?" She smiled,
"Phil and I are awesome. Oh honey you look so gorgeous!" I laughed and we talked, dad came over and joined us. Something moved in the corner, I couldn't see because the lights were still too bright, at first I thought it was Edward, You idiot! It's not Edward or any of the other Cullen's they said they would never interfer with your life again, My mind screamed at me. I shook my head,
"What's wrong dear?" Mom asked I looked back and smiled.
"Nothing I thought I saw something that doesn't matter anymore." I whistfully walked with my mom and dad out the door of the hall. Phil joined us and together we went out for supper.
Mom and Phil left after supper saying that they had to get going. Dad and I on the other hand went out to the movies, we watched an action/comedy film then went home. I showered and realized that dad had fallen asleep on the couch again! I woke him and sent him to bed, I hopped into bed too and fell into a peaceful sleep.
In the morning I woke, grabbed my bags, and headed downstairs. I headed into the kitchen, I had to leave soon.
"Dad I was wondering will you do the honours of driving me to the air port in you cop car?" he smiled.
"Of course Bella." We had breakfast together, sometimes talking a little. Then it was time for me to go, dad drove me to the airport and I hugged him, squeezing hard so that he wold never forget me.
"Bye Bells." He whispered in my ear. I borded the plane and waited for it to take off.
"Please fasten you're seatbelts for we are about to take off." I buckled my seatbelt and popped in a piece of gum so that my ears wouldn't pop when we were at a high enough altitude.
"Ma'am can I get a drink?" I asked the stewardess. She went and got me a bottle of water, "Thank-you" She nodded and went to go tend to another person. I looked out the window to see beautiful green patches and blue water. I couldn't wait to get to Italy, where either I would be ended or accepted. I smiled and nodded off into a slight doze.
"Bella," Edward stood so still that for a moment I thought he was a statue. "I don't want you to do anything reckless, for Charlie's sake." I nodded tears sliding down my cheeks. I blinked and he was gone.
I woke immediately, no I wasn't heading down that road again. The reason for me going to Italy was that Edward lied to me, saying that he had loved me when in reality he never did. Well if the Volturi decided that I would make a formidable member it sure shock the Cullen's when I showed up with them. It was his choice to leave, it's only right that you choose what you want to do...or be my mind crooned softly. I smiled pulled out my Ipod Touch and listened to my music while the day faded into night. What I didn't see two rows back from my seat was the dark hooded figure watching me.

Hey thanks for waiting! XD Here's the next....
Bella's POV
It had been a week and a half since Alec and I had left Ireland and went back home... although it now looked like a swallowed three basket balls. Alec was on his nerves end about everything to do with me, finally I got fed up.
"Felix! Demetri!" I yelled, they came into my bedroom,
"Yeah sis?"
"Take Alec somewhere, and I swear Volturi if you struggle you won't like the outcome." I growled Alec's eyes went wide and he let Felix and Demetri pull him from the room. I sighed softly and Jane came in,
"Hey Bella," I smiled, "How are you feeling now?"
"Better but I'd like you to do me a favor," She looked at me warily, "I want you to go get me a glass of human blood,"
"Are you insane?" I smiled looking down at my very swollen stomach,
"No, I'm trying a theory, if I'm correct I will start to become stronger, proving that the child is indeed half vampire." She looked at me with wide eyes,
"What would..." I cut her off
"Because Alec's a vampire Jane and I'm a human obviously now please do me that little favor and don't drink it yourself." She smiled sheepishly and left the room and I picked up my book to read peacefully.
Edward's POV
I had brought Tanya home to Carlisle, Esme, Rose and Emmett they were all shocked that we were together as in together they were all shocked when I said, that I probably didn't love Bella as much as I thought I did.
Tanya lay across my lap as we watched T.V. and the rest of my family was actually happy that I wasn't a monotone robot anymore.
"So love?" I looked down at Tanya,
"Yes?" I asked softly, I have a question, I don't mean to rush anything but, do you love me so much that you'd marry me? I smiled and bent down kissing her forehead, "Of course I would." She smiled and held my hand tracing the creases on my hand.
"Alright," She said softly.
"In fact..." I got up and went and got my Mother's ring, I went back to her, "Tanya, I love you a lot and you know that, and I'm really not sure what the rest of my family or what your family will say but... I can't let you go now, Tanya will you marry me?" She blinked several times and I heard several gasps from various spots around the house, I smiled looking up at her from my one knee.
"Of course I will!" I slid the ring onto her finger and she kissed me right as Carlisle and Esme came into the room. She pulled back and smiled lovingly at me, Mrs. Tanya Mason Cullen... that has a ring to it! I smiled nodding and Esme came over hugging me then Tanya,
"As long as you're happy my boy." She murmured,
"I am Esme, I'm very happy," Carlisle came over and shook my hand then hugged Tanya,
"Well this is a surprise but that's alright," I smiled and from Esme and Tanya's thoughts they were already planning out the wedding and when it would be.

Chapter Twenty-Two (Part-Two)
Alec's POV
I was hanging out with Felix and Demetri when my cell rang, I answered it quickly.
"Hello?!" I said instantly ready to bolt,
"Hey Alec, not to freak you out or anything but you better get back home, Bella is freaking out right now," It was Jane, I was instantly running back home,
"Freaking out about what?!" I asked,
"You should just get over here," Jane said, I was worried now,
"Is Bella in labor?" I asked I seen the castle ahead and that only pushed me faster, "I'm almost at the castle talk to you in a moment!" I put my cell in my pocket and leaped right over the high wall to lead in to the castle. I ran into the castle only to have Jane catch me.
"RELAX!" She yelled, I glared at her and she zapped me for a moment, "Relax Alec, Bella is alright she's just freaking out about things that really you should be the one to handle." I went to my room, well our room now. I opened the door and found Bella sobbing,
"Bella honey what's wrong?" I asked walking over and taking her into my arms, she just buried her face into my chest and just sobbed, I was so confused and I let Bella cry it out.
Bella had fallen asleep on me like usual and I held onto her but she bolted up holding her stomach, I was used to this,
"Bella honey it was just a dream, the babies are alright, and so are we." She looked at me with fear filled eyes,
"Just a dream?" I nodded, and she relaxed into me, "Oh, okay, just a dream, it was all just a dream..." She sighed softly and I knew she was dozing back into sleep. Jane and Alice came in,
"You should have seen her earlier, oh my goodness, I've seen my sister go a little crazy when it came to parties and that but she had gone back to sleep and she woke freaking out about the rest of the Cullen's coming to get her and the baby, although Alec you might want to know now..." Alice started I cut her off,
"I'm going to have a son and two daughters." They started at me, "Bella's dreamed of the very same ever since she came here, well really it was when we hooked up," Alice smiled,
"She might be able to see the future when she's changed." I shrugged,
"Maybe but Bella is absolutely perfect the way she is, and that's all I ask of her." Jane smiled and she seemed to get a little sheepish, "Jane, dearest sister, what is up?"
"The sky," I laughed and she snorted, "No um I think I've found the right guy..." I looked at her, "The conversation we had before you and Bella got married?" My eyes widened,
"You do realize I want to meet him, I am your big brother after all." She smiled and nodded,
"Tomorrow," I nodded and they left the room, so I picked up a book and started to read as the night wore on.
Bella's POV
Walking through the meadow I looked around to smile at Greydon, Serenity-Rose and Renesme.
"Mommy look at what I caught!" Serenity-Rose called running over to me, I smiled as she showed me the butterfly in her hands,
"That is such a beautiful butterfly my darling." She beamed and Alec came over to us,
"Darling the Cullen's have now been warned if they try to even touch you or the children they will be in deep trouble." I nodded and he wrapped his arm around me, "Children!" They all looked up and ran over, it was amazing that these small creations had come from the two of us. Alec smiled and we picked up our children,
"Can we go home now?" Renesme asked yawning,
"Of course darling." I said happily shifting the girls to my hips as Alec carried Greydon, "We'll go home now."
I woke early the next morning feeling like I swallowed a mini-van, the idea I had the other day was actually working I was getting stronger and it seemed to me that all I was drinking was human blood, Jane had laughed when I acknowledged this,
"Well at least you won't be shy in digging into human veins when we change you sister." I had snorted then but now I was thinking that she was right, drinking all this human blood for my children was actually preparing me for my vampire state!
Jane walked in with the covered glass, Alec still didn't know I was drinking blood and it had been at least three or four days since I started my idea and I was amazed how well it was working. Alec looked up when he seen Jane come inside and give it too me,
"Bella dearest, what is that?" I sighed he finally was asking, I wasn't going to hide it from him so I took a sip, and leaned in gently pressing my lips to his. I pulled back just as fast, Alec licked his lips, "You're drinking blood?" I nodded he smiled,
"It's because the children are half vampire, half human, and the reason I was getting weaker was because the children were somehow drinking my blood from inside my body... and I think that's worse then drinking another human's blood." He smiled,
"I was going to say it was cool," I immediately felt like bad, he smiled and ruffled my hair adoringly, "Don't worry love," I nodded and we sat quietly for a moment, something rolled through my stomach and I wondered what going on, I shifted several times not able to get comfortable. "Honey are you okay?"
"I don't know," I whispered, I lifted my really baggy shirt and smiled when I seen a small little hand print on the front of my stomach. "I don't know if that's creepy or cute, so I'll let you decide," I looked at Alec and he had the brightest smile on his face,
"That's adorable." He murmured in my ear, Alec held me gently and rubbed my stomach sometimes passing over where the little hand was. "You're going to make such a wonderful Mommy, Mia Bella." I beamed,
"Well I'll have you won't I?"

Chapter Twenty-Three (Part-One)
Bella's POV
Things in the throne room were moved around and instead of the thrones of Lords Aro, Caius and Marcus there were hospital like settings. The hospital bed was pure white and the monitors were quiet, too quiet. No one was around and I was worried about what was happening.
Suddenly everything changed I lay in the hospital bed the sterile white sheets now covered in my blood and the heart monitor was letting out a monotone buzz.
I was dead.
But undead at the same time, I was changing.
I woke completely startled and found Alec holding me,
"It's okay Mia Bella, I'm here and the baby is fine," I took a deep breath and looked at the clock, it was seven in the morning, I was impressed this time I actually got to sleep the whole night. Alec smiled at me and pressed his icy lips to my forehead,
"I know the baby is fine, it's just my dream scared me badly," I murmured, he nodded,
"I know you were clinging to the front of my shirt quite well it you ask me," I smiled sheepishly and he helped me out of bed. "So what was the dream this time love?"
"I have to go see the throne room, there's something off in the air I can feel it." Alec looked at me, "Trust me love I know what I'm doing, I'm not going crazy," Alec laughed,
"I wasn't implicating that my lovely wife was going crazy I'm just wondering why you feel the need to see the throne room," He picked me up, I closed my eyes and we were in front of the throne room doors when I opened them again. Alec put me down reluctantly and I walked or should I say waddled over to the doors opening the one, I froze it was exactly like out of my dream, everything was changed around the thrones were gone and the monitors were silent. It was quiet, dead quiet.
Pain shot through my body and I collapsed to the floor, "Bella!" Alec rushed forward and picked me up,
"Alec," He nodded, "I think I'm going into labor," His eyes widened and everything was moving too quickly for me to take note of anything. Within minutes I had turned the whole castle upside down, Alice and Alec were holding my hands and kept my focus on them. More pain across my stomach and I wondered how much more I was going to be able to take.
"Stay Bella don't close those eyes," Alec said stroking my cheek gently, I nodded faintly and I felt several sharp tugs here and there on my body. What are they doing?! I thought to myself strictly.
Minutes came and minutes passed, soon I was covered with a white sheet which immediately turned red from the still open wound across my abdomen. Alice, Jane and Alec stood around me holding three black clad children, I smiled up at Alec, he gently placed the baby he was holding in my arms,
"You already know his name, you know you do," I looked down to see my son, I smiled nodding slightly,
"Greydon," My son blinked up at me and I stroked his cheek lightly, "Hello my boy," He cooed quietly and I smiled as Alice and Jane placed my daughters in my arms as well,
"Renesme and Serenity-Rose, hello my darling daughters," They smiled up at me and I gasped, suddenly my babies were taken away from me.
"No biting your mother!" Alec said sternly to Greydon, "Lord Aro," He came over, and Alec touch his hand, Lord Aro nodded and Alec came over to me.
"You're changing me," I stated, he looked startled, "My dream," Alec smiled and nodded faintly, everyone seemed to understand that Alec didn't want them around so they left.
"I am." He murmured softly, he sat on the edge of my bed I could tell he was ignoring the scent of my blood even though it sang to him. "Are you ready?"
"As I'll ever be," He smiled kissed me on the lips quickly then leaned in to my neck,
"I'm sorry this is really going to hurt." I felt his lips against the spot he was going to bite then the sharpness of his teeth against my neck. I stiffened immensely and then Alec pulled back I seen his expression, he looked upset. I thought having the babies were bad, this was two million times worse. I couldn't take it and I blacked out.
Alec's POV
I left the room when Bella blacked out, I felt beyond bad for doing it to her but it was what we both wanted and in the end we would both be happier. I went to the feeding rooming being as it was the second biggest room in the castle, I found everyone there and they looked up at me smiling slightly. Alice, Jane and Bree came over holding my three children,
"Crazy," I murmured, "I thought one, I got three," Everyone smiled now and I took Greydon, Renesme and Serenity-Rose from them. I smiled and looked at my children,
"They've already fed," Jane said, "We fed them," I nodded and walked around with my children in my arms.
"They're beautiful Alec," Lady Hera said, I nodded to her and she smiled at me.
"Thank you."
This is insanely short, I know but it's getting late and I can't keep my eyes open I hope you like it so far! XD
