Chapter Fourteen

Bella

I couldn't decide if I was being filled with good memories or bad as we drove down the driveway. I thought I would never come back to this place, guess life had another plan.

After I had tortured Edward, and he had told his family the truth, we –the family- became close. They no longer claimed Edward, and since Tanya was his mate, her as well.

I was glad that they took to my family as well as they did. Rose even gave up being a bitch to me, maybe because she was scared of me and my family, or because I was already part of the life she didn't want.

Every time Emmett and Jasper were around my son, I did nothing but yell. Who would have known that Jasper was just as bad as Emmett?

My son had picked up some habits I wasn't proud of him having. But since he and Aless were pretty much grown now, I let them live their lives.

Alice had gotten my daughter into shopping; ha better her than me. Only difference, Aless loves it, where as I hate it. But I couldn't complain, because Alice and my daughter got along.

The one person I wasn't sure on them getting along with was Alec, but the Cullen's once again surprised me. They accepted Alec as their own.

After I confronted Edward, I really had moved on. I felt the weight of the world lift off me. Everything had healed itself up, which lead me to the here and now.

The here and now currently led me to stand outside the big white house in the middle of the forest that I thought I'd never return to.

"Bella!" Esme greeted me while walking out of her house. "Alec, how are you dear?"

"Fine, thank you." Alec kindly replied. I loved my husband; always so polite.

"Come in. Everyone went hunting, but should be back soon."

We followed her in and she showed us where to place our items and where we would be staying. The house was bigger then I remembered, but then again, this is Esme we're talking about. She probably knew we were coming and added onto the house; not that I was complaining.

"So, because of your diet, we will have to ask that you don't hunt around here." Esme politely said.

"Of course, however Alex and Aless will be eating more human food then blood. I don't want to hear it!" I said to my pouting children.

At that time everyone came rushing in the door. We all said our hellos before breaking off to our own groups.

I was standing there watching how my children interacted with the Cullen's when I felt my husband slide up behind me. We stood there silent for a while just watching our kids and enjoying each other.

"Love, would you like to go for a walk?" Alec purred in my ear. I nodded and we said a quick good-bye to everyone.

Walking in the forest, hand in hand with Alec, I couldn't help but think back on my life. If you would have told me two years ago, I would be married to a vampire, who wasn't Edward, and had two wonderful kids; I would have laughed and asked if you had lost your damn mind.

Although my life wasn't a fairytale; I had my ups and my downs. I still wanted to be mad at Edward, but no matter how hard I tried, I couldn't. Because of him leaving me and breaking my heart, the road of life led me to Alec. My one true love that mended my heart and made me whole.

Alec gave me everything I could ever think of and more. He loved me with his whole being, as I did him.

"Love?" I looked up from the ground to see my father's old house. I watched as a man and woman came out with a small child around the age of three. They played in the front yard on a swing set and laughed while the child giggled. It was one the cutest things ever.

"I'm glad it went to a good family." I mumbled before turning around and walking back towards the Cullen's. We were halfway there when I felt the bark of a tree on my back. I looked around me but all I could see was Alec and his black eyes.

"Alec." I moaned as he pinned me to the tree harder. I wrapped my arms around his neck and brought my legs around his waist.

"Good thing you're wearing a skirt love, or else you'd be walking back with no jeans." He purred. I rubbed myself against him, trying to get friction, but only earning a growl from Alec. I didn't have a chance to think before he entered me.

Once we were done, we went back to the house. We quickly jumped in the shower, even though everyone could smell it on us. As we were walking out I heard yelling. I quickly looked at Alec before flying down the stairs.

"What in the hell is going on?" I yelled.

"Bella?" I heard a familiar voice. I turned towards the voice only to see Jake. "You're the new bloodsucker in town. This breaks the treaty." He growled.

"The Cullen's didn't change me Jake. We both know that so shut the hell up." He looked at me shocked.

"Your eyes. What the fuck is going on?"

"Jake, as you remember, this is my husband Alec. And somewhere around here are my children." I mumbled.

"You have children?"

"Yes, I have two of them. I have a boy and a girl."

"Where are they?" At that time the front door flew open. In walked a female and two other guys.

"And who do we have here?" Esme asked.

"Leah, Jared, and Seth." Jake mumbled.

"Alaxander! Alessandra!" Alec yelled behind me. I heard Aless giggling and knew they did something.

"What did you two do?" I laughed at their expression.

"There was some huge ass dogs out back and we… um played?" Alex laughed out. Jake and his friends growled.

"Jake, meet my kids." I giggled out. Leah looked at Alex and they got lost in each other.

"Ah hell." Leah mumbled. I looked around the room questioning.

"Explain…. Now." I demanded

"Uh, imprinting. Leah actually fucking imprinted." Jared laughed. Leah turned on him. I had heard of imprinting, but never thought it would happen on one of my children.

"Wait, as in Alex is Leah's soul mate?" Jake nodded. "Well isn't this fucking great!" I mumbled.

"Babe, have you lost your mind?" Alec asked me.

"Nope, looks like we're moving."

Chapter Twelve

*Unedited*


Edward

Don't look back. Don't look back. Don't look back. I kept repeating this in my head as I ran for Alaska. Leaving Bella was the hardest, yet easiest thing I could have ever done. It was hard because I loved her more then my own existence, yet it was the same reason it was the easiest to leave. I knew my life style wasn't for Bella. Leaving her was the best thing I could have done.

After three months of being in Alaska, I my family had had enough of my moping around. Emmett pinned me down one day and said that I had made this decision so I had better straighten up. I knew he was right, of course. But even then, it didn't make me feel better.

I decided to leave for awhile and Tanya came with me. We traveled all over the United States, and Canada. Being alone with Tanya, I really got to know her. Somewhere on our travel, I had fallen in love with her. This was hard to accept, I still loved Bella, but I could never be with her. Tanya was here, and I could be with her.

We decided it was time to head home, since we hadn't talked to either of our families since we had left. We took our time heading back, and just enjoying our time together.

When we got back to the house, I looked at Tanya before taking her hand. Opening the door, I was consumed with thoughts of how happy our family was that we were home. When we came into the room everyone was in, they saw us holding hands.

"I knew it!" Alice clapped, jumping up and down.

"About time." Kate replied.

"Well as you can see, Tanya and I are together." I stated. Everyone was excited and we talked for over an hour about what we did and where we had gone.

"Oh! I forgot to mention. We leave tomorrow for the Volturi house." Carlisle stated.

"Why are we going to visit the Volturi's?" I asked. I didn't want to really be anywhere near them.

"They are having a ball. The crowning of a new princess." Victoria flashed threw his mind before he thought of something else.

"Carlisle, why are you thinking about Victoria?"

"Well last month, the Volturi Guard were here looking for her. She has started a new born army. I'm guessing they are going to put an end to it."

"Bella, do you think she's after Bella?" I began to panic a little bit.

"Edward calm down." Tanya said. I could sense a little jealousy but ignored it.

"We left her unprotected."

"No Edward, Bella is attending school over seas. At least according to the Seattle College she is." Carlisle said.

We spent the rest of the night talking about everything. I couldn't believe how much I had really missed my family. We left late the next afternoon for Italy. Once we landed, Alice got really excited, causing me to groan.

"Alice, what is it?" Tanya asked.

"Shopping!" That's all it took, one word, and it made all the girls squeal and the guys to groan.

By the time everything was said and done, we were two hours late for the ball. We had missed the introduction of the new princess. Walking into the room, I heard great things about the new princess. She's so nice. Easy to talk to. Beautiful. Going to be a great princess. I was happy and kind of excited to meet her. Tanya and I danced a couple times before meeting back up with the family.

"So have any of you met her yet?" Kate asked.

"No, but I'm both hearing by mouth and thought that she is nice, smart and beautiful." I spoke. I felt Tanya nudge me and giggle. "No worries. She can't be more beautiful then you are."

"Kiss ass." Everyone laughed at Tanya's response.

That's when I saw her. She was a bit taller, but still beautiful. She was walking with two younger men and a younger woman. I knew one of the men to be Alec Volturi, one of the guards here. Before I knew it my feet were walking towards her.

"Bella, is that you? What are you doing here?" Bella turned. I'm pretty sure the whole room looked at us.

Bella had pain on her face. I wasn't sure what had caused this. Looking closer at her, I could tell she had been turned. She was no longer my warm, human Bella. I saw the younger woman grab Alec's hand, and a low growl start in the man's chest. Bella seemed to snap out of whatever she was in, and visibly straighten herself up.

"What do you mean by, what am I doing here?" Her voice was even more beautiful.

"With the Volturi. I mean, just wow. What are you doing here."

"Edward, this is my home. Better question would be, why are you here?" She had grown confident.

"Well, the whole family is here for the ball. We came to meet the new Princess." She laughed. She actually laughed at what I just said.

"As I recall, you have already met her." What is she talking about? Then it hit me.

"You are the new princess?"

"Yes. I would like for you to meet my husband, Alec, and children, Alex and Aless." So she was married and had children. I stood there staring at the younger man and woman. Looking closely at them, I could see Bella in both of them.

"How can you have children. You've been changed."

"I really don't think you need the sex talk Edward." Bella laughed.

"No, I mean, you've been changed. You can't have children."

"I got pregnant before I was changed. Now if you'll excuse me, my children need to go to bed." She stated before walking off. The young woman grabbed both men's hands, making them nod then walk away.

"Edward, come for a walk with me." She sounded so much like Bella. All I could do was nod and fallow her. She led me down many halls and turns before we came to a small garden. "Sit." I did as I was told. "We were not sure if you would make it. Your family told my father that they couldn't get ahold of you."

"Yes, I was traveling." Thoughts entered my mind of the time I was gone.

"Ah, good I see you have a mate." I didn't say I had a mate, I thought it, but didn't say it. "Your not the only one that can read minds. There is also a reason you can not read mind. However that is not important. What is important, is that you need to leave. Threw my mothers thoughts, I know what it was like when you left her. I'm hoping that you left for the correct reasons and not the ones that you told her. I also saw what she looked like when my father met her. Did you know my mother has been threw hell since you left her?"

"No." It was all I could answer with.

"My father was actually sent to kill her. He was to kill her because she knew of vampire existence from you and your family. Thankfully, my father fell in love with her, and was able to save her. He saved her in more ways then one."

"How so? How did he save her in more ways then one?"

"May I show you?" I was confused but nodded. She grabbed my hand, making me really confused. Then I saw what seemed to be like a movie. I saw Bella at a bar, maybe a night club, drinking. Then dancing with a man that once he turned, I saw was Alec. Then she was in a house, drinking, a lot.

"That's not even most of it. When you left, my mother was almost dead. She started drinking, then met my father. He had to fallow orders and leave her alone for a while. Once they met back up, mom got better. Then when they were on a visit here, she got a call that her father, my grandfather, had been killed. I watched the scene from the thoughts of someone evil. I watched as she killed my grandfather, and I couldn't do anything about what had been done."

"Victoria. Where is she?"

"Gone." Simple answer, but I knew what she meant.

"Who?"

"Well my brother just about killed her, as well as my father and myself and all the guard. But it was mom who killed her."

"So you are a full vampire? You must be if you would be able to kill her."

"No, as mom said. She was human when she was pregnant with my brother and me. We are half human half vampire. But we both have gifts that many vampires will fear."

"How has she been since she's been here?"

"Happy. She found her soul mate in my father and had us. Even though we like to give her and dad trouble." She giggled out.

"Good. Ya know, when I left, I was leaving to try and save her. I didn't mean anything I said to her. I was trying to save her from this life."

"I figured as much. But I gotta go back in, momma is telling me time to get my butt in bed. She wants to talk to you, so stay here." Before I could reply, she was gone. Bella wanted to talk to me. How mad at me could she really be? Right?

Chapter Thirteen

Bella

As I stood there listening to my daughter talk to Edward, I had so many emotions running through me. He said that he didn't mean anything that he had said, but only said them to protect me from this life.

A life I became part of whether he liked it or not. He always wanted to protect me, and now looking back, it annoyed me. When in the hell did I need protection?

Yes, Alec was there to protect me when I needed him, but he let me be until I said so. Just like when I killed Victoria, he knew it was my fight. I knew he would protect me, but I didn't need protecting.

I watched as Aless ran by me, giving me a quick kiss and a 'love you momma', and then I was left alone with a man I once loved.

"Edward, why are you here?" I asked, walking into the beautiful garden.

"I told you, for the announcement of the new Princess, which I guess is you." I softly chuckled.

"No, I knew that, but that's not what I meant. Let me rephrase. Why are you here, in this garden?"

It became silent as his mind went crazy with so many thoughts; I finally just gave up on trying to figure them out. Finally it became quiet in his mind, before he said words out loud.

"Aless, your daughter, asked to speak to me out here."

"Edward, you are your own person, didn't anyone ever tell you not to give into peer pressure?" I giggled a little bit, earning a chuckle from him.

"Bella, I…we… can we just talk?" I heard in his mind he wanted to know what happened after I left.

"When you left, I became a zombie, a shell of a person. I moped around and didn't do anything. Then I left for college, and I got really pissed at you. I decided it was time to change everything about me. I can think my roommates for the actual change. Without them, I'm not sure I would have been able to do it. So anyway, we went to a club. It was the most fun I had had in a long time. I met Alec there.

Of course I later found out that he was sent to kill me. But anyway, Alec disappeared and I had a constant ache in my chest; worse than when you left me. Alcohol seemed to dull it, so I drank a lot. Alec and I met back up and started dating. Before long I came here for a visit, only to have to leave early because I got word that my father had been killed. After that, I left Forks and haven't been back. I got pregnant with Alex and Aless, and married Alec. Life has been pretty perfect since then."

He was quiet, thinking I'm sure. I was lost in my past to even worry about what he was thinking. We remained quiet for what felt like hours.

"Bella, I am so sorry for everything that happened. If I could go back I would. I would change it and never leave you."

I shook my head, not wanting to think about it. "Edward, I wouldn't go back in time for anything. If you hadn't left, we would both be miserable. It took me a long time before I figured out our love wasn't healthy. You didn't treat me as an equal, always protecting me."

"Bella, you need protecting!" He yelled.

"No I don't! I have raised two children; I have killed a vampire that has been hunting my ass since you fucking left! I am perfectly capable of protecting myself."

"You shouldn't have to. Your husband should be protecting you." Was he fucking serious?

"Edward, you really don't want to go there." I stated calmly.

"Yes, I really do." He replied.

"My husband does protect me, but he also treats me as an equal. Something you never did!" I screamed at him.

"Edward, man, back off." I looked around to see that we had an audience. Emmett had given Edward the warning, which it seemed like Edward wasn't going to take.

I looked around and saw my family standing around, even my children. I growled knowing they weren't in bed sleeping was because of Edward. Alec started to walk beside me but stopped when I looked at him and shook my head.

"Well I can see who is in control of that relationship. Nice Bella, you complain about me never treating you as my equal, yet here you are demanding your husband not to stand by you."

"Unlike you, I respect Bella, as my wife, my mate and the Princess." Alec stated.

"Oh yes, how could I forget?" He very sloppily bowed at me. Is he drunk?

"Edward, I think it's best that you leave." I said as I turned around to leave. Some woman walked by, slamming her shoulder into mine. I watched as she walked to Edward.

"So this is the famous Isabella Swan?" She sneered in my direction.

"Bella Volturi, but since you're not family, you can address her as Mrs. Volturi or Princess." Alex stated. I smiled at my son, praying Alec would take them back to their room.

"Don't sass me child." I heard my son growl and gave Alec a warning look.

"Alex, let's go. Aless, you as well. Jane, please take them?" Jane nodded and I watched as they walked back into the castle.

"You will not disrespect my children. He is correct onto how you should address me, and I advise that you start." She rolled her eyes, and looked lovingly at Edward. So this must be his mate.

"I think we will take our leave." Carlisle spoke. Edward growled causing us to look at him. "Edward, let's go." He stated firmly.

"I won't leave without Bella." Edward pouted. I laughed at this.

"I'm not going anywhere with you. You left to 'protect' me, so now I'm telling you to leave before you do something really fucking stupid." I stated simply.

"You will leave with me." Edward growled.

"Over my dead body." Alec growled back.

"Oh that can be arranged, kid." I saw both of them glare at each other. I smiled as Jane walked back to us.

"Edward, may I remind you that you are messing with the most powerful of the guard?" Jane asked sweetly. Since she and I started getting along, we became best friends, and actual sisters. I loved her even more in that moment.

"Oh yes, the witch twins, how could I forget?" He sneered.

"They're not the only two you need to worry about young friend." My father calmly stated. "In fact, I'm sure if you keep going, you will find many enemies."

"I'm not scared. Bella will leave with me. She has no reason to stay here. I can take the place as her husband. She will come crawling back to me, beginning for me to take her back."

I started at him dumbfounded. Was this nut job fucking serious? Him take the place of my loving and oh so yummy husband? Ha! Before anyone could reply, Edward was on the ground in pain.

"Tsk, tsk Edward. I gave you plenty of warning." Aro spoke.

"For one, you could never measure up to be good enough for my mother. For two, you could never replace my father." Alex said coming to stand in front of me. When he released Edward from his pain, Edward was left panting.

"As I stated, you are dealing with the most powerful in the guard." Jane repeated.

"Not yet Aunt Jane." Aless giggled.

"Not gonna happen little girl." Alec kissed her forehead.

"Wait a damn minute. Bella your child did that?" Edward asked shocked.

"What can I say, I have good offspring." I laughed.

Edward took a step towards me, making the guard step forward. He growled but mainly ignored them.

"Bella, you can call off your watch dogs, I won't hurt you." I was getting tired of his games.

"Your right, you wouldn't hurt me. You just left me for someone else to kill. You just left me for dead on that fucking forest floor. You left, and went on your merry little fucking way. You know, my father died, and while it wasn't by your hand physically, the blood is still on your hands! As for the guard, I don't need them to protect me, as I said before; I'm capable of doing this myself."

"Just because you're considered a newborn, you couldn't hold yourself against an experienced vampire Bella. I move away and you become an impolite, selfish woman whose head is way too big."

"Do you really believe that?" He just nodded. "I will put you through more pain then my son or Jane can do. I will enjoy this. I will make you feel all the pain you ever made me feel, and everything you have ever done to me." I seethed before Edward was lying on the ground screaming out in pain. Ha, fucking pussy!

Chapter Eleven

APOV

"I love you Bella. I'm sorry for the pain. Please come back to us soon."

I moved to grab some clothes and quickly dressed in jeans and a red button up shirt. I heard footsteps coming towards our room, so I moved to the bed and tucked the blanket around Bella; no one needed to see her naked body besides myself. Once she was numb from the pain, Jane and I would dress her.

"Alec!" I groaned knowing it was Jane. Right after she yelled my name, she was banging on the door.

"Enter." I said casually. I did not plan to see Jane but I really wasn't planning on seeing who had fallowed her in.

"Alec, care to explain?" Aro spoke.

"She asked me to change her. She was ready and it was the right time." He nodded.

"While you were gone she had asked. I told her as long as you thought she was ready. Please let us know when she is awake." Then Aro left the room, leaving me with an angry Jane, and scared children.

"She will be fine. She's just not going to be human anymore." I spoke softly to them. Aless ran to me and jumped into my arms before I moved us to a chair beside Bella. Jane left, while Alex stood protectively over his mother. Alex was turning into a gentleman, always protecting his sister and mother.

Sitting beside Bella, time seemed to stand still, not even exist. Which is in a way funny, since for us, time pretty much does stand still. It don't mean much to us. I watched as my angel laid there, in pain, and there was nothing I could do.

The only time we have moved in the last two days were for the kids to eat and use the bathroom. Jane and I had dressed Bella in a simple black and red summer dress.

I was sitting there watching Alex and Aless play some learning game given to them from Aro when Bella's heart started to race.

"Dad, what's happening? Her heartbeat is speeding up." Aless spoke up from the game.

"She got angry about something. Anger speeds up the process." It was the only thing I could think of. I had only heard rumors of anger being able to do that, but I had never seen it first hand.

"Momma, if you can hear me. Please get angry, it'll go after." Aless begged.

Bella's heart seemed to calm down for a minute or so before racing again. She was angry about something, but I couldn't be sure onto what. I heard the final beat of Bella's heart and was glad she was no longer burning. We stood there, waiting for her to open her eyes, but she didn't open them.

"Love?" I spoke softly, not wanting to scare her with her new hearing. When she didn't respond, I tried again. "Love, open your eyes."

She opened one eye, and almost looked scared before it was replaced with excitement. Aless giggled causing me to look at her. She was staring at her mother in amusement while Alex was looking at her in awe. They smiled at her causing my dead heart to want to beat. I don't think I could love my children anymore then I did.

I finally really looked at Bella. She was beautiful before the change, but now, now words couldn't even be used. She filled out even more, and in all the right places. I am a man so my mind drifted off. She is so beautiful. I can't wait to have her all alone. I inwardly grinned, knowing Bella's body could handle a little bit more fun now.

"Alec, our children are in the room!" Bella hissed at me. Aless was giggling, damn little mind reader, and Alex looked confused. I laughed knowing my daughter had heard worse thoughts, but that same thought also made me cringe. Bella moved, bringing my attention back to her.

"Bella, I didn't say anything." Has she lost her mind? I saw Aless holding in her giggle and wanted to laugh as well.

"Yes, you did. I heard you."

"Momma, daddy didn't say anything." Aless spoke between giggles. "No, you're not." Looking between Bella and Aless, I now knew what my son felt; confused.

I stood there and watched my daughter and wife stare at each other. Aless looked smug and amused, while Bella looked confused. Bella shook her head, before both my girls started giggling. I looked at Alex to see him wearing probably the same look as me.

"Momma can hear what we are thinking. Just like me." Aless said proudly. Bella smiled proudly at her daughter and started laughing, only to stop when I spoke.

"Love, you must be thirsty. Let's go." I didn't want her to be in anymore pain then I knew she was in.

"No Alec. I need to do something first." I was confused at first, that is until my daughter skipped to me and grabbed my hand. I nodded my agreement. She wanted to take care of Victoria. I inwardly smiled, thinking of the last couple of days were Victoria was concerned. Members of the Guard were not exactly nice to her.

Once we entered the throne room, Bella walked straight to Aro. "Bella, I didn't think you could get any more beautiful. I was proven wrong." Aro spoke before hugging his daughter. Once she was finished hugging him, she hugged Caius and Marcus.

Just watching her walk around was making me hard. I kept shifting my feet, trying to find a comfortable position with my now large problem. I couldn't wait until I had her alone and to myself. Bella's voice broke me out of my own little world.

"Aless, what's wrong?" I quickly looked at my daughter to see her looking scared and confused. Duh dumbass! Your daughter can hear your thoughts! You should really keep them clean when she's around.

"Momma, I can't hear anything. In my head I mean. What's happening?" I was worried for my daughter, and Bella looked confused.

"Father, what is happening?"

"Bella, did you do or think about anything before Aless wasn't able to hear us?" Aro spoke.

"Yeah, I wished I could block the thoughts floating around this room." She scolded, looking at all the men, leaving me for last. I smiled at her before looking down, earning chuckles all around the room.

"Yes, well dear, you are beautiful, and there are men in this room. However, I believe you are a shield, and can protect those that you wish with it." Aro chuckled.

I stood there shocked. My wife could hear peoples thoughts as well as block peoples minds? Hell yeah! My wife is fucking awesome! I heard the main door open and stood up straighter. Victoria enter with Felix and Demetri. I looked at my wife and just stared. She is fucking sexy as hell when she is pissed! When Bella's smile grew, I had to admit, I was a little scared. My wife could be mean if she wanted to as a human, now she had newborn strength. Victoria wasn't going to get it easy from Bella. Victoria flinched away from Bella before straightening herself up to stand proud. Not sure what she was standing proud for, I mean she was about to fucking die.

"Well if the little baby-sitter didn't get someone to change her. Now you're not good for anything. You're not their human toy anymore." Victoria said smugly.

Growls were heard from all around the room. I was pissed. I stepped towards Bella, ready to keep going until her glare stopped me dead in my tracks. This was her fight, I would be there if she needed me. I bowed my head in understanding before stepping behind my wife. Still in a protective manner mind you.

"Wow, maybe you are good for something. Making the men around here little bitches that bend at your will." Victoria giggled out.

"You will leave my husband and family out of this. This is between you and me, not you, me, and them." Bella snarled.

This new voice on Bella was enough to erase the pissy mood I was currently in. Again, can't wait until I get her alone. Bella turned enough for me to see her wink at me before turning her attention back to Victoria.

"What is this really about Bella? I mean you had this coming. You killed James." Bella looked at her confused. Hell, I was confused. This bitch knew Bella before she killed Bella's father?

"How could I kill James? I was a human." Bella questioned.

"You and your good for nothing Cullen coven. If you had never met them, then James would be beside me right now, and I wouldn't be looking at you. You took away the only good thing that this life of hell brought to me. You were a pathetic human. You were nothing but their play toy. That's why they protected you, just so they could keep playing with you. Although, I will give you props. You must have been good in bed to keep Edward around. Did they have fun passing you around?"

The whole room erupt into growls. I crouched down ready to attack. Bella hissed at me, making me straighten myself up. How dare she imply that my angel is a whore!

"Your nothing but worthless whore. I mean really, how many guys have you slept with since your beloved James died? Yes I said died, not killed!" Aless spat at her. I looked at my daughter shocked. She had never spoke that language before. Not that I could or would punish her for it this one time.

"That's none of your business child. Didn't your worthless parents teach you anything? They should punish you and put you back in your place on the ground." Bitch, you just pushed it for the last time.

"You will not disrespect my children." I growled out.

"Heidi, Felix, please take Alex and Aless out of here." Bella asked them. They nodded and stepped forward, before fallowing my children out of the room.

"Victoria that was the last straw." Bella snarled.

Bella stood frozen in her spot. I could see pain clear on her face, before anger took over. I watched Bella crouch ready to attack Victoria but stopped. I kept my eyes on my wife, only being drawn away when I heard a screech of pain. I looked to see who it was from, but my eyes stopped on Victoria, writhing on the marble floor in pain.

"Jane, this is Bella's battle, step down." Aro said.

"I'm not doing anything master." Jane whispered, clearly confused.

I watched as Bella slowly made her way to Victoria, never taking her eyes off her face. I wanted to laugh when Victoria squirmed trying to get away from Bella.

"How is the pain Vicky?" Bella asked.

"You bitch!" She screamed out.

"You are paying for everything you've caused in my life." Bella whispered to her. I knew it was time. I pulled the lighter out of my pocket, and told her I was going to throw it at her. She turned and caught it easily before laughing out loud. I couldn't help but chuckle, as well as a couple other people. We all knew if Bella was still human, she would have only caused herself harm trying to catch it.

"This world will be a better place without a bitch like you wasting air and space." She said as she lit the lighter and threw it on her. "This is for you daddy." She whispered.

I saw Bella start to sway on her feet. I rushed towards her and wrapped her in my arms, where she belonged for the rest of eternity, before she was able to fall.

I watched as a few of the guard members stepped forward, opened the drain cover, and swept what was left of Victoria down it.

"Love, it's done. She's gone." I whispered in my wife's ear.

Bella relaxed into me, almost as if the weight of the world was lifted off her small shoulders. She sat there for a moment, before standing us up, and brushing off her clothing.

"We have a ball to get ready for. And I'd like to see our children." As soon as she said children, the boor bust open. Aless jumped into my wife's open arms and Alex hugged her.

"Momma, can I pick out my own dress?" Aless asked causing Bella to laugh.

"Yes baby, you can." Aless giggled and jumped back to the floor, then ran out yelling for her aunts.

"Bella, are you alright? I have never seen a person in more pain then Victoria was, and that's including the pain Jane can cause." Marcus spoke softly. He was always so gentle.

"I'm fine. In fact, I'm wonderful. I'm finally free of everything that has ever bothered me. Victoria just got the ending result." Bella laughed.

Before anything more could be said, the women of the castle and guard were in the room then rushing out with Bella. All of us men just stood there shaking our heads.

"And it begins" Aro chuckled.

"Alec, you have quite a powerful wife there." Marcus said.

"Master, as you may know, Bella was powerful when she was human." They all chuckled, knowing exactly what I meant.

"The newest member of our family, and by far, the most gifted." Aro said aloud.

"Well, we all know not to piss our princess off now, don't we." Felix joked, only we all knew it was true. I was proud of my wife. She was able to move on from the past and embrace the future.

Before I knew it, the girls had shoved all of us guys out of the throne room so they could put their dresses in there. Then they cornered us into the large party room to help them decorate. They wanted formal yet fun. It wasn't much fun decorating. I was anxious to see my wife in her dress, and to be announced Princess to the entire Vampire world. I was nervous however about the Cullen's. I wasn't sure how Bella would react.

Once the decorating was done and everything was set up, we were told to go get ready. We were told our vest colors would match the dresses of the woman we were escorting. Which left me in white, Alex escorting his sister in red, Demetri in teal, Felix in gold, Afton in black, Santiago in tan and our newest guard member, Mike, in red-orange.

We weren't able to see the girls until they were announced, it sucked, but nothing we could do about it. Once we were dressed, we all met in the hallway then made our way to the party room. The music was already going and the room was already full. As members of the guard, we stood tall and kept a look out for trouble.

I saw a lot of people I knew, as well as many new people. Everyone seemed to be having a good time, and enjoying themselves. I was finally working my way up to Aro with my son, when I felt him tug on my tux jacket.

"Dad." He whispered.

"Yes Alex?" I answered.

"There's someone staring at you." Then he nodded his head towards a group that I knew quite well. I motioned with my head for my son to fallow me while I made my way over to them.

"Alec! How nice it is to see you again." Mary spoke to me.

"As it is you Mary. How are Samuel?"

"I'm well thank you. You have done a wonderful job this year. Well done." He praised.

"Yes, well you will have to thank the women in charge around here." I chuckled.

"So when will you be getting married young Alec?" Mary asked.

"I already have." I didn't want to give away who I was indeed married to.

"Oh, when will we meet her?"

"Soon. If you'll excuse me, we must get ready for the announcement." I said before excusing Alex and myself. When the rest of the guard joined us, we were all anxious to see the women.

"Gentlemen, are you ready?" Aro asked. We all nodded our heads, and getting in line onto how the women would be announced. "Alec, people will be surprised when we announce who the princess it. As her husband and her personal guard, be ready." Aro spoke so only I could hear him. I nodded, knowing that if the Cullen's were to show up, it may very well be a mess.

"Ladies and Gentlemen, if I may have your attention." Aro stood and waited until the music died down, and all attention was on him. "As you have all probably seen, we do have human blood in here, they are not to be attacked. If done so, death will be given to the attacker. I would like to thank you all for coming to this ball, and hope that you all enjoy yourselves. Now it is time to announce the women who help keep us all in line." Everyone chuckled, we all knew it was true.

"First, we have Mrs. Chelsea Volturi, escorted by her husband, Afton Volturi." I watched as Afton stepped forward, and Chelsea started her way down the stairs. She was in a black dress with gold beading on the bottom, and gold going through the top, matching with a black and gold perl necklace with a black flower on it. When Afton held his arm out for her, the room started clapping.

"Next, we have Miss Victoria Volturi, escorted by fiance, Santiago Meraz." Victoria was in a tan dress, with a tan shawl. As she walked down the stairs, I could see she was wearing tan high heeled boots, and wanted to laugh. That was just who Victoria was, always wanting to wear her boots.

"Next, we have Miss Crystal Lutz, escorted by Felix Volturi." When Crystal stepped out of the doorway and started her way down the stairs, I was shocked. She was in a very form fitting blue dress that came into a halter top. For Crystal, there actually wasn't a lot of skin showing.

"Next, we have Mrs. Heidi Volturi, escorted by her husband, Demetri Volturi." Heidi was wearing a dress that was a teal tube top. It was simple, just like Heidi liked it.

"Next, we have Miss Jane Volturi, escorted by Mike Welsh." When my sister stepped out, I was speechless. She was wearing an orange colored dress. Around the waist, was a bow that flowed down the pouffy dress. The top was made into a halter top, with silver flowers embedded into it. But what caught my eye, was our mothers red diamond necklace. I felt my chest tighten at the thought of how proud our mother would be to see Jane right this moment. I was pulled out of my thoughts by Aro speaking again.

"Next, we have Miss Alessandra Volturi, escorted by her brother, Alexander Volturi." I heard gasps all around me as people looked at my daughter and son then me. I smiled but kept my attention on my daughter. I wanted to cry, my daughter was growing up. She was in a red dress with black designs on the bottom. The top was black with red designs on it. Her earrings, necklace and ring were blood red diamonds. When she lifted her dress, I chuckled to myself when I saw her in flats. She may be half vampire, but she took after her mothers human balance. She playfully glared at me, and I knew I had been caught. She rolled her eyes and took her brothers arm.

"And now, Ladies and Gentlemen, the reason we are having this ball, I'm pleased to announce the Princess of Volturi, Isabella Volturi, escorted by her husband, Alec Volturi." I heard gasps and talking as I stepped forward to meet my wife. When I saw her, if I needed to breath, I'd be dead. She took my breath away. My beautiful wife stepped down the stairs wearing a white dress with red flowers around the bottom, a fitting top, and red straps. She paired the dress with a diamond necklace and ring.

"Love, there are simply not enough words to tell you how you look." I whispered before giving her a quick kiss. As planned, we all went out to the dance floor, the Guards, and the Kings.

As I heard the music starting, I pulled Bella against me. The guys picked this song, we all had a different reason for it.

I'm not a perfect person

There's many things I wish I didn't do

But I continue learning

I never meant to do those things to you

And so, I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

"Bella, before you, I had no life, no reason. The first time I laid eyes on you, we were my everything, you are my everything. When you gave yourself me me, all of you, you opened my eyes. I want you for the rest of eternity. You gave me you, as well as our children, making me the happiest man alive." I whispered in her ear, making her shiver. She looked me in the eye and I was lost. I was lost in love, understanding, and lust. I lowered my head and captured Bella's lips, and we got lost in eachother.

I'm sorry that I hurt you

It's something I must live with everyday

And all the pain I put you through

I wish that I could take it all away

And be the one who catches all your tears

That's why I need you to hear

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

And the reason is you

I'm not a perfect person

I never meant to do those things to you

And so I have to say before I go

That I just want you to know

I've found a reason for me

To change who I used to be

A reason to start over new

And the reason is you

I've found a reason to show

A side of me you didn't know

A reason for all that I do

And the reason is you

Everyone clapping brought us out of our bubble. I groaned knowing it was time that I had to share Bella now. Of course my groan turned into a moan quickly when Bella rubbed up against me.

"Soon love, soon, I promise." I winked at her before pulling away. We turned to find our kids when I saw Mary walking up to us.

"Alec, you didn't tell us your wife was the Princess. Hello Princess Isabella, I am Mary, this is my mate Samuel." They both bowed at Bella, and I wanted to laugh.

"It's Bella, please. It's nice to meet you." Bella spoke.

"So, how long have you been married?" Mary asked. Before Bella could answer, our children found us.

"Momma! Alex said we weren't allowed to dance to more then just that song!" Aless whined to Bella. I looked at my son, just to see him holding in a laugh.

"Mother? Child, you must be mistaken." Mary spoke kindly.

"No, I'm not. Bella is my mother, Alec is my father, and Alex is my brother." Aless explained as if she were talking to an infant.

"How is that so, are you an immortal child?" I groaned at the name of immortal child. It gained a lot of attention as everyone stopped what they were doing and looked at us.

"Um... I don't know what that is. But my momma was human when she had us. Then my daddy changed her. Now mommy is just like us and daddy. Well I guess not really just like me. I mean Alex and I are half human, half vampire. So that's our story!" Aless finished in a sing song voice. Everyone sighed in relief and continued on with what they were doing.

We danced and had fun. We all enjoyed ourselves. Halfway through the ball, the music was loud, and I knew it getting time to get Alex and Aless to bed.

"Bella, love, we should get the children to bed."

"I agree. Alex, Aless time to go to bed." They both groaned but fallowed us. As we got to the doorway to leave, a voice stopped Bella dead in her tracks.

"Bella, is that you? What are you doing here?" Bella turned, causing all of us to turn.

Bella had pain on her face, but what caught me off guard was Aless hissing. She grabbed my hand showing me what her mother was seeing; Edward.

Chapter Ten

Bella

When I think of hell, I think of bright reds, people running around with maybe horns and the tails. But right now, I see black, nothingness. My senses have all cut themselves off, except for pain, the one I most wish could be shut off. The white hot fire coursing threw my veins. The nothingness just keeps pulling me farther into the dark, and there's nothing I can do, but let it. Im sure by now, my body, is nothing but ashes waiting for the wind to blow me away. I'd welcome that over this burning pain.

When I think of hell, it's red, not black from nothingness, but I know I'm in hell right now. The fire racing in my veins is enough to give that away.

Seconds turned into minutes. Minutes turned into hours. Hours turned into days, weeks, hell maybe months. I couldn't think of anything but the pain. I needed to think of something else. What could I think of to take my mind off the pain? Easy. My angels. My beautiful daughter that was looking more and more like me daily. And my handsome son, looking more like his father. Alex was going to be a heartbreaker once he got older.

My sexy husband. The way that man made me feel. It was like nothing in this entire world. The way he worked my body, he knew just what it wanted. And he never failed to provide for it either. I thought back to right before Alec bit me; the sweet love we made. I was so happy to see that he had came home, and I wasn't going to let Victoria ruin that. Just the thought of Victoria, made my blood boil even more. She had killed my father, and I watched as she did it through her mind. All the pain my father went through, the way he stuck up for me, even though the last time he saw me, I was nothing but a shell of a person. I couldn't wait until I took care of her, slow and painful just like she did with my father.

"Dad, what's happening? Her heartbeat is speeding up." An angel spoke. I knew that voice. I calmed down knowing my family was with me.

"She got angry about something. Anger speeds up the process." A mails voice spoke.

"Momma, if you can hear me. Please get angry, it'll go faster." The angel spoke again. How could I get angry with that voice? The voice that I would rather someone take my own life for, than theirs. I was so proud of my son when he stood up for me. But I was scared because I didn't know what that bitch would do to him. I didn't want her near my children, or my husband for that matter. My blood started to bail again at the thought of her around them. The pain was worse than before; it felt like it was retreating back to my heart. Wow heartburn had nothing on this shit. My heart was beating like crazy. It was beating like it was trying to push gelatin through it, instead of my thin blood.

With one final thump-thump, it stopped. It all stopped: the pain, the fire, the seconds, and my heart. I was scared to open my eyes. Afraid I would wake up in hell. Afraid I would either see bright reds or the black nothingness.

"Love?" A bell like voice said. I knew that voice, but it was different. It was sexy before, but now, now it seemed almost sexier. I felt myself moisten at just the thought, and knew Alec must have a smirk on his face. "Love, open your eyes." I slowly cracked one open. I looked around, and it was like nothing I had ever seen before. I could see the smallest things, dirt, dust, I could see it clearly. As if it was under a microscope. I heard a giggle and turned to see my beautiful children. I could hear their heart, and smell their blood, and I felt pride course through me. I helped make them; I carried them in me, and now look at them. Beautiful angels. They smiled at me, and I just stared.

I knew they were beautiful, but my human eyes did not do them justice. I could see them so much clearer now.

"She is so beautiful. I can't wait to have her all alone." I heard Alec. I turned my attention to him.

"Alec, our children are in the room!" I hissed. Aless was giggling and Alex looked confused.

"Bella, I didn't say anything." Has she lost her mind?

"Yes, you did. I heard you."

"Momma, daddy didn't say anything." I then turned my attention to my daughter. Am I losing my mind? "No, you're not." Momma, if you can hear me, shake your head.

I shook my head, while everyone looking at us confused. Hell I was confused. What in the hell is going on?

Momma, you can read minds. Aless said with a giggle in her voice. I giggled with her, finally understanding what was going on. Alec and Alex on the other hand, not so much.

"Momma can hear what we are thinking. Just like me." She said proudly. I started to laugh, but immediately stopped when I heard a voice that sounded almost like bells.

"Love, you must be thirsty. Let's go." I felt the slight burn in my throat, but I had something else I wanted to do first.

"No Alec. I need to do something first." He nodded in understanding.

We walked out of the door and down the hall. We walked by many of my friends, in which they bowed their heads my way. It took me a while to remember why they were doing it.

We made a couple right handed turns then one left that brought us to the throne room.

"Bella, I didn't think you could get any more beautiful. I was proven wrong." Aro spoke softly.

I walked up and hugged my father before doing so with my uncles. I could hear many thoughts of how beautiful I was but just ignored them.

I did however listen to Alec's thoughts. I'm sure if I could blush, I would have. To put it nicely, I couldn't wait until we were alone and in our room. I looked at my daughter who was blushing, and wished I could protect her so she didn't have to hear some of the thoughts going on around her.

When I wished that I was able to, Aless looked at me strangely. I silently questioned her with my eyes. She looked confused, and kind of scared. When she didn't answer me, I asked out loud.

"Aless, what's wrong?"

"Momma, I can't hear anything. In my head I mean. What's happening?" I looked at her confused.

"Maybe she is a shield after all. She will be quit the talent around here." Caius spoke in his mind.

"Father, what is happening?"

"Bella, did you do or think about anything before Aless wasn't able to hear us?" Aro questioned.

"Yeah, I wished I could block the thoughts floating around this room." I scolded, looking at all the men, leaving my husband for last. He smiled at me before looking down, earning chuckles all around the room.

"Yes, well dear, you are beautiful, and there are men in this room. However, I believe you are a shield, and can protect those that you wish with it." Aro chuckled.

I nodded my head, it making sense. I mean, no one could do anything to be when I was a human. I smiled at this new thought. I could protect my daughter from the dirty thoughts going on around us. Before I could say or think anything else, I heard the big wooden door open.

When I looked up, I saw red. The fire I felt when I was being changed didn't compare to the fire moving through my body now. Except this fire didn't burn me, it didn't hurt, but I knew it was there.

I looked Victoria in the eye, and felt electricity moving through me. I heard someone gasp, but ignored them. I smiled wickedly at Victoria, knowing I was going to cause her more pain then she caused my real father. My smile grew even bigger when she flinched away from my look. I guess she wasn't the bad ass now that the ball wasn't in her court.

I watched as she straightened herself up. Oh yeah, this was going to be fun for me and painful for her.

"Well if the little baby-sitter didn't get someone to change her. Now you're not good for anything. You're not their human toy anymore." Victoria said smugly. Keep going bitch, the more you talk, the more pain you will be in.

I heard growls from all around the room, and felt Alec step beside me. I glared at him, warning him to back off. This was my fight, no one else's. He bowed his head in understanding, and then stepped behind me.

"Wow, maybe you are good for something. Making the men around here little bitches that bend at your will." She giggled out. I growled in response.

"You will leave my husband and family out of this. This is between you and me, not you, me, and them." I snarled.

I flinched inwardly at the sound of my own voice. It sounded almost, evil? I heard Alec groan and this thoughts leading to how hot it sounded. I barely turned to look at him, and then winked before looking at Victoria again.

"What is this really about Bella? I mean you had this coming. You killed James." I looked at her confused. Was she serious?

"How could I kill James? I was a human." I questioned.

"You and your good for nothing Cullen coven. If you had never met them, then James would be beside me right now, and I wouldn't be looking at you. You took away the only good thing that this life of hell brought to me. You were a pathetic human. You were nothing but their play toy. That's why they protected you, just so they could keep playing with you."

Inside I knew she was right. Edward and the rest of the family only protected me because I was their play toy and a pathetic human. They never wanted me around, they proved that when they left without saying good bye. I felt my anger grow towards them, but Victoria wasn't done yet.

"Although, I will give you props. You must have been good in bed to keep Edward around. Did they have fun passing you around?"

I growled at her. I heard the whole room erupt into growls. I saw Alec crouched down ready to attack. I hissed at him, making him straighten himself up.

"Your nothing but a worthless whore. I mean really, how many guys have you slept with since your beloved James died? Yes I said died, not killed!" Aless spat at her. My daughter had balls.

"That's none of your business child. Didn't your worthless parents teach you anything? They should punish you and put you back in your place on the ground."

I felt my anger come back to me full force. You could talk shit to me or about me, but not my children.

"You will not disrespect my children." Alec growled out. Hmm, great minds really do think alike.

"Heidi, Felix, please take Alex and Aless out of here." I asked them. They nodded and stepped forward, before following my children out of the room. I'm sure they knew what was about to happen, but their eyes didn't need to see it, and their minds didn't need to remember it.

"Victoria, that was the last straw." I snarled.

Before I could do anything, images of my father being killed flashed through my head. It felt different seeing it kind of first hand, instead of being passed like a message through Aless. I heard every bone crack, and watched as the blood flowed freely from my father. At the thought of it, my throat flared and I was disgusted with myself. That was my father, how could I think of wanting to drain him myself?

My anger hit an all time high. I was pissed at the Cullen's for leaving me, Victoria for killing my father, and myself for wanting his blood just because of a memory. I crouched ready to spring at Victoria, but when I looked her in the eye, I saw pain.

Pain from what, I'm not sure. But I was glad she was in pain. I hoped she was going through all the pain I've gone through in the last two years. I hoped she felt the worst pain that anyone had felt.

I kept looking in her eyes, watching more pain and suffering flow through them. Before I knew it, she was on the ground writhing in pain. I smiled evilly. This was the pain I wanted her to go through.

"Jane, this is Bella's battle, step down." Aro said.

"I'm not doing anything master." My sister said.

I knew then, that I was the one causing her this pain. I was the one making her scream out in agony. I felt the pain, sadness, and fear flow through my body, in the veins that once held blood. And I welcomed it. For once, I was able to just let it out and not look weak.

I slowly made my way to her, never taking my eyes off her face. She squirmed trying to get away from me; she knew I was causing her this pain. She might be a bitch, but she wasn't stupid.

"How is the pain Vicky?" I asked, not really caring about her answer.

"You bitch!" She screamed out.

I watched as she lay on the floor, writhing in pain, and squirming to get away from me. I let my emotions flood me, letting them consume me. I made her feel everything, the love I had for Alec and my children, the hate I held for her, the pain I felt for my father, and the pain I was happily giving her. I listened as she kept screaming, and just kept smiling at her.

"You are paying for everything you've caused in my life." I whispered to her. I heard Alec speak in my head that he was going to throw me a lighter. I turned and caught it with no problem. I laughed out loud, because if I was human, it probably would have hit me in the head or something.

I turned back to Victoria, already tired of her. I sent out another wave of pain her way. I smiled as she flinched away again.

"This world will be a better place without a bitch like you wasting air and space." I said as I lit the lighter and threw it on her. I stepped back, watching the purple smoke work its way towards the ceiling. The sweet smell bothered me, but not enough to make me leave. "This is for you daddy." I whispered.

Everything caught up to me when Victoria was nothing but ashes. I felt my legs start to give out before I felt Alec wrap his arms around me. He lowered us to the floor and I just sat there in his arms, letting him hold me.

I watched as a few of the guard members stepped forward, opened the drain cover, and swept what was left of Victoria down it, just like the trash that she was. I couldn't believe it. The bitch was dead and gone.

"Love, it's done. She's gone." Alec whispered in my ear.

I felt as if the world was lifted off my shoulders. I could breathe easily. Nothing was standing in my way now. I stood up, straightened out my clothes, rubbed my face and turned to Alec.

"We have a ball to get ready for. And I'd like to see our children." As soon as I said children, the boor bust open and in ran my angels. Aless jumped into my open arms and Alex hugged me.

"Momma, can I pick out my own dress?" Aless asked. I laughed at how easily we could move from me just killing someone to planning on dresses for the ball.

"Yes baby, you can." She giggled and jumped back to the floor, then ran out yelling for her aunts.

"Bella, are you alright? I have never seen a person in more pain then Victoria was, and that's including the pain Jane can cause." Marcus spoke softly. He was always so gentle.

"I'm fine. In fact, I'm wonderful. I'm finally free of everything that has ever bothered me. Victoria just got the ending result." I laughed.

Soon all the girls walked in, and we excused ourselves to start the planning. Since we didn't need to have a lot of food, it would be easy to plan.

Aless picked to eat before the ball, but wanted candy and pizza bites to snack on throughout the night. We bought the sound system we would need for the music, and picked out the music. Next we left for the dress store to pick out our dresses.

After five hours of shopping we all finally found our dresses. The next day we went all day looking for shoes, necklaces, ear rings, and rings.

After two days everything was set for the ball. Now all we did was screw around until it was time.

Chapter Nine

Alec

Everything has been going good. When Bella walked into the throne room and just froze, I got worried. I rushed to her asking what was wrong before she told me her water broke. It was kind of funny because she squeaked it out and made it sound like a question. I quickly picked her up and carried her to the room we had set up. It was a little while before the pain started pushing Bella to the edge.

"Alec, when this is over with, your getting cut!" Bella yelled. Jane giggled and Caius and I groaned. Then I thought about it and knew I'd be safe, and once Bella was changed, she couldn't get pregnant. With one final push, the room was filled with soft whimpering cries.

"Bella, I love you so much." I said softly kissing her forehead.

"Alec, Bella meet Alexander Charles Volturi." Caius said handing us a beautiful little boy. His eyes were chocolate brown like mine but slowly turned into red the closer it got to the pupil. He had my brown hair with a little bit of light blond and red in spots. I was looking at Bella as silent tears ran down her cheeks. I knew if I was able to cry, I would be. I'm man enough to admit it.

"Um... Bella? Please hand Alexander over to Jane please?" Caius asked. We all looked at him confused. As Bella was handing Alexander over, I heard her take in a sharp breathe and I could see the pain on her face.

"What the fuck is going on?" Bella ground out. I felt myself shaking behind her; I was worried and scared, not knowing what was going on.

"Bella, I need you to push." Caius ordered. It wasn't long before once again the room was filled with soft cries. "I guess you guys will get to use both of the names." Caius spoke as he handed Bella our daughter. I couldn't believe it. Not only was I lucky enough to have one child, I had to.

"Alessandra Jane Volturi." Bella cooed at her. She had light brown hair almost a dirty blond, and the same eyes as her brother. She was a little bit bigger, but just as soft. Caius finished cleaning everything and left the room. Jane helped Bella to our room, as I carried the babies.

I couldn't have been any happier. I vowed right then that I would protect these babies even if it cost me my life.

Bella crawled into bed, as I followed her, setting the babies between us and I gave her a soft kiss.

"I love you Isabella. You have made me the happiest man. Not only did you give me one gift, but two. I will protect you three always and forever."

"I love you Alec." She mumbled before she fell asleep. I laid there watching my three angels sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I knew our children were going to grow fast, but I couldn't believe just how fast they were growing. I was very proud of them. We had found out what their powers were, and knew they would just keep getting stronger.

We found that Alex had a gift much like mine with a mix of Jane's. He could make you lose all your senses, but could cause you the worst of pain. His gift mainly came out when he was angry, so we worked on keeping him calmed down.

Aless could read minds but also put pictures in your mind and make you believe that you were actually where she was showing. It was stronger when she touched you, but she could show you what she wanted to.

I was a little worried at first that Aro would want to add them to his 'collection'. Then I wanted to kick myself in the ass. They were his grandchildren; he would never make them do what they didn't want to do, or what would end up hurting them.

The entire castle quickly took to having babies around. My children would always be looked after if something were to ever happen to Bella or myself.

Before I knew it, my children were walking and were taking place in my wedding. Those will always be my favorite days, the day my children were born and my wedding day.

Bella was... words can't even begin to describe how beautiful she was walking down the Aisle. And my daughter? She was just as beautiful wearing a dress just like her mothers. I had the two most gorgeous females around.

That night I made love to Bella numerous times. I could never get enough of her. I was going to have her for the rest of eternity, and it still wasn't long enough.

I knew I would be going on a mission soon. I was one of the most powerful guards, and my team was the best. I was just waiting for it to come. But until that time came, I was spending every minute I could with my family.

Aless and Alex were now talking full sentences and looked like three year olds, even though they were only a little more than a month old. They were smart to, sometimes too smart for their own good.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

I was in the training room watching two new guards practice training. They were decent, but still needed a lot of work. Demetri was watching along with me, to see if maybe in the future they would be able to join our team.

"Gentlemen, we are wanted in the throne room." Felix's voice wondered over to us. As soon as those words left his mouth, I knew we were leaving. Walking quickly to the throne room, I saw Bella enter right before we did.

When we walked into the throne room, I saw Bella walking up to Marcus. I walked up beside her, trying to keep my face clear of disappointment.

"Felix, Demetri, Alec you will be going on a mission, Jane will be joining you on this trip as well. There is a vampire in the states creating new borns, this may lead to a war. This must be taken care of immediately. You are to leave in an hour." Aro spoke. I closed my eyes, knowing I was going to be away from my family for at least a week. I heard a small gasp beside me and opened my eyes, only to see Bella fall to the floor to her knees.

"Love, come on." I picked her up and carried her to our room. Gianna left as soon as we entered with a sad expression on her face. She knew, of course she knew, she had to book the tickets for our flight.

"Your leaving." Aless spoke with sadness in her voice.

"Yes, but I'll be back baby girl." Aless ran to me and started crying. I watched as Alex walked over to Bella and hugged her. I couldn't stand not having my family close, so I pulled them to me. I heard Jane walking to our room, but couldn't be bothered with her.

"Hey. We'll be back soon, I promised." She said stroking Alex and Aless's hair. They nodded and crawled out of our arms, and hugged her. Bella slowly walked up to me. She hugged me with strength that if I was a human, I'm sure I'd be bruised. I could feel her hanging onto me and not wanting to go, as I felt the exact same way.

"Love, I will be back I promise." She nodded into my chest.

"Alec, we must leave now." Jane offered. Bella pulled away from me, and I immediately felt lonely and lost. I watched as she pulled our children to her, all three of them silently crying. Jane had to pull me out of my room.

As I boarded the plane, I started to get angry. How dare Aro send me away? I had a family to take care of!

"Alec, calm down!" Jane hissed at me. I calmed down, knowing that she was going to miss Alex and Aless, and Bella. Since Bella blew up and told Jane she was pregnant, those two had started a friendship. Recently they actually started calling each other sisters. Heidi, Jane, and Bella are the three trouble makers around the castle.

You would think that it would be my children, but no. Once you get those three women together, all hell breaks loose. One time they had these blow up dolls, and dressed them in the cloaks before placing them in the Kings thrones. It was quite funny watching the expressions pass across Caius, Marcus, and Aro's face.

It didn't take them long before they figured out who it was. Aro yelled for them, and they came into the room, laughing and tripping over each other. I swear if vampires could get drunk, I knew they would be. But Bella, hell she might even be.

Just thinking that caused a small chuckle to escape me. Bella had really changed things around the castle. People were always happier and more I don't know... lively? Everyone enjoyed being around her.

The thought of not being able to be around her caused me physical pain. I already missed my family. I just wanted to get this done and go back home. Little did I know that it wasn't going to be that easy.

Before I knew it, we were landing. We rushed to our next flight that would take us to Dallas Texas. Last Aro had heard, that's where this Victoria was. She had red hair that looked like fire and was very cat like.

Once we got off the plane, we stayed inside until it was dark enough for us to go outside. We walked around to some bars and different locations, trying to see if we had found someone of our kind.

We found a smaller coven in Dallas that told us that Victoria was last headed to Alaska that they knew of. They also told us that she had two others that were with her, both males. It didn't long to guess why she had them. We quickly rented a car and started the drive.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It took us four days to get from Dallas to Alaska, only stopping to feed. We all wanted to get back home to our loved ones. We knew of a small coven up here, and decided to see if they had heard of anything. We drove to Denali and quickly found the coven.

They had a nice house. I knew that they fed off animals like the Cullen's did, so they were able to live amongst humans. They were on the edge of a forest, and the house blended in with it. We parked the car and started to get out when the front door opened.

"Can I help you?" An older gentleman asked.

"Yes, we are searching for someone. We were hoping you'd be able to help up." He nodded and told us to follow him inside. When we walked in, there were seven females and four men.

"Who is it that you are searching for?" An older gentleman stepped forward. He had blonde hair and the honey gold eyes. I knew him to be Carlisle from the paintings around the castle.

"I am looking for a woman name Victoria. She has been starting a new born army." I spoke.

"Ah, of course. I'm afraid she has already worked her way through Alaska. We fallowed her to Seattle." Carlisle said while walking to me. "I'm not sure onto why she is making a new born, but I'm glad someone is stepping in." I nodded at him.

"Alright, thank you Carlisle." I turned towards the door to leave when he spoke to me again.

"Do I know you?"

"No, I'm part of the Volturi Guard. I recognized you from the paintings around."

"Oh, yes, well please tell the brothers that I look forward to meeting with them next month for the ball. I'm interested to see who he has taken under his wing to make her princess." I just smirked.

"Will all of your family be attending?" I wanted to know, because if Edward was going to be there, I wasn't sure how Bella would handle that.

"As of right now, no. We are unable to get ahold of my son Edward right now. I'm hoping he will be joining us though." I nodded and said my thanks before walking out the door. We got into the car and everyone was quiet. It wasn't until about two hours later, someone decided to speak.

"Alec, brother, why were you asking about that family?" She spoke softly. I wasn't sure what all Bella had told Jane about her past.

"Bella dated a member of the Cullen coven." I said through gritted teeth. The same coven that left her broken hearted.

"The son, Edward?" She asked. I nodded and she had a knowing look on her face and remained quiet the rest of the trip.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

It took us two days to get to Seattle. There a lot of memories that flooded my mind. Seeing Bella, meeting her, falling even more in love with her, us hanging out with her friends, which reminds me...

"Do you guys mind if we make a quick stop?" I asked them. Felix and Demetri knew where I was talking about just Jane didn't. "Remember Bella used to live here, I'd like to check on her room-mates real quick." They quickly agreed.

I easily made my way to the apartment building. That's a plus with having a photographic memory, you seem to remember everything. It all looked the same, so I parked the car and got out. I walked into the building and went straight to the apartment that held a lot of good memories. I didn't hear anything inside, so I raised my hand to knock. On the other side, I heard grumbling and knew who it was. I, myself, groaned because I didn't want to mess with her.

"What?" She snarled opening the door. Looks like someone had a long night.

"Well nice to see you to Lauren." She looked up at me and I could see her start to try being seductive. I groaned on the inside, really wishing Bella was here. "I was wondering if Crystal or Victoria are here?"

"No, but can I help you?" She purred at me.

"Do you know when they will be in?" I asked, just wanting to get away from her.

"No, they've been missing for two days." She said proudly. Wow, what a great friend, what a bitch! I nodded and walked away. Walking outside, I noticed the wind had picked up. I was halfway to my car, when their scent and one that was clearly a vampire, hit me. I called out for everyone else, and we started to follow the scent.

The stronger the scent came; I heard cries, causing me to pick my pace up. When we walked into a small clearing, we saw ten newborns, a redhead which I knew was Victoria, and two people laying on the ground. The two laying on the ground were the ones crying out. Looking closer I saw that they were Crystal and Vic. This just made me see red.

The newborns saw us, and I immediately cut off all of their senses. I heard a hiss and looked to see Victoria screeching out in pain. Felix and Demetri quickly killed off the newborns.

"Don't kill those two!" I yelled out at them while pointing to the two girls. Felix and Demetri looked at them, and realized who they were, nodding that they agreed with me. Jane stopped torturing Victoria so that we could talk to her.

"What the fuck do you want? Where's my army?" She yelled out.

"They are gone. You are to come to Italy with us." I cut off her senses, making it easier on us.

"Alec, their two days in. We won't be able to travel right away with those two." I knew he was right, and I knew that I was going to be away from Bella that much longer. But I also knew she was going to be happy to be able to be with her two best friends again.

Once the girls 'woke up' we thought we would have our hands full. They were always pretty girls, but they were even more so now. I heard Demetri growl and wouldn't take his eyes off of Crystal. I knew that look, he was in love with her.

"Alec?" Vic spoke softly.

"Yes. How are you feeling?" I asked.

"Wha... ho... what in the hell is going on?" I explained everything to her. About her being a vampire, what to expect, how to control their thirst, and that Bella was safe.

Over the next week, we worked with the girls. I wanted them to feel comfortable traveling around humans. By the time we were ready, we just decided to go on a smaller plane, so we could pretty much keep Victoria in the dark. Yeah, I still hadn't let her have her senses back.

The flight was long, but enjoyable. We explained the brothers to Crystal and Vic, but left out the part about Bella. They were a little nervous, thinking that they were going to be killed. Little did they know that Bella let alone Demetri and myself, wouldn't let it happen. Ok so maybe Demetri and I didn't have a hand in the matter, but Bella did.

Once we landed and got into the walls of the castle, I let Victoria have her senses back, immediately regretting doing so. Once she figured out that she had them all back, and where we were, she wouldn't shut up on our way to the throne room.

"You stupid mother fucking assholes! I will kill all of you!" She screamed.

"Shut up! You put us here, and I hope they kill you, you stupid bitch." Crystal spoke out. I heard Demetri chuckle, knowing that his 'love' had spunk. Once we got to the throne room, Felix went in to inform them of our arrival. Although I'm sure they heard the screaming banshee once she was able to talk.

"Alec and Jane are handling the people we went after. However you will not be happy." He paused before calling us into the room. Crystal and Vic hugged each other, causing Victoria to snarl, before they entered the room.

"Father, what is going on?" I seethed out.

"They were part of the new borns. They must be killed."

"They are my were my room-mates in Seattle. The must not have been taught."

"Dear, what do you suggest we do?"

"Teach them correctly, and give them the choice of joining." He nodded.

"I agree, but it is up to them." I knew it was time to get this going, so I pushed Victoria forward and enter the room. She was yelling and screaming at me not to touch her, causing me to laugh. Not much longer, and this bitch will be done for.

"Silence!" Aro ordered. Victoria started looking around the room, eyes landing on Bella, before a menacing smirk was plastered to her face.

"At last I have found you, and in a place you don't belong." How in the hell did she know Bella? And she was searching for her? I heard the door open again, before my children running to their mother. I felt all the pain in my body disappear at seeing all of my family. "Ah, now I see why you are here. Your nothing but a toy to look after immortal children."

"Silence!" Bella ordered.

"And what are you going to do? Your nothing but a trashy human." She was barely able to get her sentence out before she dropped to the ground, screaming out in pain. Jane was standing beside me, so I knew it wasn't her. The only other person I knew that could cause that much pain was my son. I looked at him, and he was looking at Victoria with a death glare. I had never been more proud of my son.

"Alex!" Bella hissed. Victoria slowly stood up. I kept my eyes on my son as he stalked towards Victoria.

"You will never talk about my mother that way again. Or I will cause you the worst pain you have ever been in." He looked at me, I gave him a wink. Once

"Mother? So the little brats are yours? Do you even know who the father is?" How dare this bitch? I felt a growl building in my chest, and it took everything in me not to just kill her now.

"You will not speak to me or my children this way." Bella growled out. That is totally sexy, listening to her growl.

"And what are you going to do about it whore?" She spat out.

"Right now, she holds the power of your life." Aro spoke. I saw Bella smirk at Victoria. Oh yes, my angel holds your fate bitch.

"How does she do that? She's human."

"I may be human, but I hold power over you, you don't even know exists." Bella smirked at her.

"I have power over you as well child." She sang out.

"And, please tell, how do you hold power over me?" Bella asked in the same tone.

"Hows daddy doing?" She asked. I was confused. She didn't hold power over her. I heard my baby girl let out a small sob, and saw pain cross her face. I watched as my little girl tried to lunge at Victoria, before Alex grabbed her, holding her back. "He did put up quite a fight for being a human. But he was easy, and good to."

I watched as Aless grabbed Bella's hand. She was showing her whatever Victoria was thinking. I heard Victoria chuckle, I'm guessing figuring out what my daughter and wife were doing. I saw pain flash across both of their faces, as tears fell down. Whatever it was, it was hurting my girls. I growled at Victoria, causing her to shrink back. Vic and Crystal looked at me confused, I just shook my head. I'd tell them later. My daughter's voice brought me back to them.

"Momma." Aless cried out. I watched Bella walk up in front of her, squared her shoulders and spoke in a deadly whisper. I could tell by the look on her face, it was the look of pure hatred and death. Victoria just sealed her fate.

"You will die by my hand." Bella whispered. Aro nodded at me, and once again I took away Victoria's senses.

"Will someone please tell me what is going on?" Aro spoke. Bella took a few deep breaths before speaking to everyone.

"Victoria's mate was killed by Edward Cullen. Her mate was trying to kill me, but Edward killed him first. I always knew Victoria would come for me. She killed my father trying to find me."

"She came to our apartment looking for you. That's how she found us. She said that if she couldn't have you, she was going to hurt the people around you." Crystal whimpered out. Bella moved at almost inhuman speed across to Vic and Crystal, hugging them both. I heard Bella saying sorry over and over again to them, and them telling her that it wasn't her fault, and now they could be back together again.

Felix and Demetri took Victoria to the 'dungeon'. It was just a place we put vampires until it was time for them to die. My children ran to me and I couldn't have been happier. It wasn't long before Bella joined us. We stood there, hugging each other, for a while. When I looked up, we were along except for Jane.

"How would you guys like to stay with me tonight? GIve mom and dad some alone time." She asked them. Alex answered with a groan and Aless giggling. They knew what was going to happen. They agreed before they ran off with Jane. I scooped Bella up, and ran to our room.

Once I got there and closed the door, I sat her down, just to look at her. I had missed her so much. She walked up to me, putting her arms around my neck pulling me down to her, before fisting her hands into my hair and kissing me soundly. There was nothing soft about this, nor would there be tonight. We needed this.

I straightened up, causing her to jump and wrap her legs around my waist. I could smell her arousal and I'm sure she felt mine as she ground down on me. I growled, causing her to giggle.

"I love you. I missed you so much!" she mumbled out between kisses on my neck. I put her on the bed and started stripping us both of our clothing.

"I love you to. I missed you more then you will ever know." I slowly slid into her warm, wet entrance. I immediately felt whole and at home. I moaned out her name, rocking my hips slowly against her. She was already tight, and it wasn't long before I felt her tightening even more.

"Alec." She moaned out as she found her release, which triggered mine. I kissed her softly, before rolling off of her. She quickly snuggled into my side, me wrapping my arm around her. We were quiet for a long time. I was enjoying being home, with my family and the love of my life.

"Alec, if I ask you to do something, will you?" She whispered. She knew I'd do anything for her, so her asking made me a little nervous.

"Of course love." I turned my head and kissed her softly on the lips.

"Change me." She put simply. I knew this time was coming, and there was nothing I could do. I didn't want her to feel the pain, the fire for three days, but I knew she wanted this. I wanted her with me and our children for forever.

"Are you sure?" I felt her nod against my side. I rolled over so I was hovering above her. I kissed along her jaw line, to her neck, I heard her breath hitch, and knew this second wasn't the best time. It would be tonight, but not right now. I kissed my way across her collarbone, down to the valley between her breasts, before taking a tight nipple into my mouth.

I flicked my tongue against it, causing Bella to gasp. I smirked against her skin, before continuing my journey south. I kissed past her belly button, down to the soft skin between her hip and her center. I kissed her lips, before spreading them. Bella was sending out a new arousal, mixed with the scent of our previous love making.

I licked along her folds, and felt my eyes roll to the back of my head. The mixture of Bella and myself was powerful. I circled her clit, before entering a finger into her.

I felt her moan against me. I picked my pace and heard her whimper. That was the hottest sound and couldn't help the moan that went through my lips. I felt her shutter against me, and tasted Bella's sweat juices. I licked her clean before kissing my way back up her body. Once I got to her lips, I kissed her soundly. She moaned from the taste of the both of us that was still on my lips.

My dick was rubbing against her folds and heard her whimper from the lack of friction. I smirked and reached down, grabbing myself. I ran my head along her folds. Up then back down. She kept trying to move her hips to get me to enter her.

"Now Bella, the more you move, the longer it's gonna take." She whimpered but nodded her head and stayed still. I rubbed my head against her clit, and felt her body start to tighten up. Right as she was about to reach her high, I plunged myself into her, causing her orgasm to hit her full force. She tightened around me to where it was almost painful, but felt damn good.

I slowly worked her through her release, before speeding up. She flipped up over so she was straddling me. Well this is new. I watched as she rode me like a professional. With her on top, I was hitting places in her I didn't know I could. Her tits were bouncing with each movement. I didn't know what I wanted to watch more, her riding me, her eyes or her tits bouncing.

I couldn't decide, so I just kept making circuits with my eyes. We kept telling each other of our love. I felt her tighten around me again, and held onto my own release, I wasn't ready yet.

Once Bella came down off her high, I flipped us back over, so I was hover above her. She started to move her hips in time with mine. It wasn't long before we both found our release together. I pulled out of her, but didn't move. Bella was completely relaxed, and I knew now was the time.

"I love you Bella." I said as I gave her a strong kiss.

"I love you Alec." She whispered. I looked into her eyes, and saw no hesitation. She was ready. I kissed her again before kissing my way to her neck. I licked the spot below her ear, causing her to moan and me to smirk. I gave her an open mouthed kiss, before pressing my teeth to her neck and biting down. I heard her gasp out in pain as I injected her with my venom. Once I knew I had enough in her system, to hopefully help her change faster and easier. I wanted to take away the pain, but knew I couldn't do anything about it.

Bella cried out in pain, as tears ran down her face. "I love you Alec." She whimpered out before she closed her eyes tight.

"I love you Bella. I'm sorry for the pain. Please come back to us soon."

Chapter Eight

Before I could say another thing, I was being picked up. I starting getting sharp pain in my stomach and could come up with, was that I was having contractions. I just felt like dying. I clenched my eyes shut as another pain ripped through me, only to open my eyes in a white room. I could tell that it had been sterilized just from the smell.

I saw Caius at the end of the bed I was laying on; he was taking his robe off and putting on some sterile clothing. I watched on, confused as to what was happening. Alec moved to stand beside my head.

"Bella, if we have a boy, how do you like the name Alexander Charles Volturi?" Alec asked softly while kissing my forehead.

"Sounds good. But if we have a girl, how about Alessandra Jane Volturi?"

"Both sound wonderful." I nodded at Alec and put my focus back to what was going on around us. There was only Jane, Caius, Alec and I in the room. Caius was at the end of the bed getting ready to lift a blanket that I just noticed was placed in my lap, and that someone had taken off my skirt. Yes, me Bella, was wearing a skirt. It was just so much easier with how big I had become.

"Uh... Caius... what are you doing?" I felt my blush creeping onto my face.

"Bella, I'm the only one that has knowledge in this. I'm going to deliver your and Alec's child." Caius nodded at Alec, and soon I felt Alec sitting behind me with my back to his chest. This brought back memories of us dancing all those times and I couldn't help the small giggle that escaped before I was overcame with pain.

"What's got you giggling love?" Alec asked with a chuckle in his voice. I panted through the pain before answering him.

"This position just brings back some memories." I giggled again causing the other two in the room to groan.

"I didn't want a visual picture of your time spent with my brother Bella." Jane complained just causing me to laugh.

"Believe it or not, the memories were clean, for once."

"Enough, Jane, Alec you are like my children. Bella you are my niece, I don't need to hear this information. Now when I count to three I need you to push Bella." I nodded as he counted then pushed on three. We did this over and over on every contraction and I thought I was going to pass out. Alec kept whispering soothing words in my ear each time.

"Alec, when this is over with, your getting cut!" I yelled out, listening as it echoed off the stone walls. Jane giggled and Caius and Alec groaned. With one final push, the room was filled with soft whimpering cries.

"Bella, I love you so much."

"Alec, Bella meet Alexander Charles Volturi." Caius said handing us a beautiful little boy. His eyes were chocolate brown like mine but slowly turned into red the closer it got to the pupil. He had Alec's brown hair with a little bit of light blond and red in spots. He was the perfect combination of Alec and I. I felt the tears rolling down my cheeks and looked up to see Alec. I could see the venom in his eyes from tears that he could never shed.

"Um... Bella? Please hand Alexander over to Jane please?" Caius asked. I looked at him confused but did as I was told. It was a good thing I was in a room of vampires because as I moved to hand Alexander over to Jane, pain ripped threw me once again.

"What the fuck is going on?" I ground out between clenched teeth. I felt Alec shake a little bit behind me and knew that he was worried as was I.

"Bella, I need you to push." Caius ordered. I didn't give it a second thought as I pushed. This pain was a little bit worse, probably because my body was exhausted. I greedily took in a deep breath and was ordered to push again. Once again the room was filled with soft cries. "I guess you guys will get to use both of the names." Caius spoke as he handed me a little girl. I felt as a sob ripped through my chest.

"Alessandra Jane Volturi." I cooed at her. She had light brown hair almost a dirty blond, and the same eyes as her brother. She was a little bit bigger, but just as soft. Caius finished cleaning everything and left the room. Jane helped me to Alec's and my room while Alec carried the babies. Once I got there, I crawled into bed, Alec fallowing me as Jane left. Alec put the babies between us and gave me a kiss.

"I love you Isabella. You have made me the happiest man. Not only did you give me one gift, but two. I will protect you three always and forever."

"I love you Alec." I mumbled as I drifted off to sleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The two weeks before the wedding flew by. Alex and Aless were growing like crazy. I remember crying myself to sleep because they were growing so fast. They were already walking around and starting to form words. We found that Alex had a gift much like Alec's with a mix of Jane's. He could make you lose all your senses, but could cause you the worst of pain. We figured that since Jane's gift was mixed in was because Alec and Jane were blood siblings.

Aless could read minds but also put pictures in your mind and make you believe that you were actually where she was showing. It was stronger when she touched you, but she could show you what she wanted to. She had preferred doing that instead of talking, we told her she also needed to talk to us verbally as well. We had been working with them so that they only used their gifts when needed and not just for fun or because they got mad. They were quick learners and understood everything we told them.

The wedding was tomorrow, and now that I wasn't the only one that ate human food, we ordered some more. Alex and Aless could eat human food or drink blood. They were big fans of human food, but they ate it.

Since I had lost all the baby weight quickly, I decided I wanted a new dress. Jane and I had gone shopping and found a beautiful dress. The shoulder straps had bead work on it, and the bust was cherry red, which also had bead work done on it. At the bottom of the dress, the bead work worked it's way up the dress. The red from the bust moved into the back and flowed down the center of the dress, fanning out at the train. It also had bead work done all over it. While shopping for it, Aless found a dress she wanted to wear, which was just like mine, only smaller.

Alec was ordered out of the room with Alex and all the girls stayed in my room. The next morning we all got ready. Jane had my hair half up with curls running down my back. Slipping into my dress, I heard the music coming from the gardens and knew it was time to get going. I slowly made my way to the gardens only tripping once. I chuckled to myself, great on the day I need my balance most, it decides to go on vacation.

I saw the two most handsome guys waiting at the end of the aisle for me. Alex was in a child's tux with a blood red shirt and tie, while Alec was in his uniform. I felt my arousal and heard a low growl from Alec and snickers from everyone else. My children looked at me confused and I felt my blush once again. At least they didn't know what was going on.

The ceremony was beautiful. Red and white roses all over the place, the vows spoken. At the reception everyone had a good time. Alec and I sat down with the kids and helped them eat, while I nibbled on food. It was steak, corn and a potatoe. The steak the kids were eating, was still pretty bloody. I guess they were getting both of what they ate. Mine on the other hand, was well done.

Throughout the night, I'm pretty sure I danced with everyone. I danced with the kids and couldn't help but giggle when they tried dancing like the adults. Watching father, Caius and Marcus dance was interesting to say the least. They danced like the 'younger generation' and I'm pretty sure I broke a rib from laughing so hard. They did dance pretty good, but watching a father figure and two uncle figures let go and dance like that, is what made it so funny.

By the end of the night, I was glad to be able to go to my room. Jane was going to take Alex and Aless, saying she was giving us 'grown up time' with a smirk. Alec didn't waist time in picking me up and carrying me to our room.

"Alec, will you help me with my dress?" I felt him walk up behind me and undo the zipper, going painfully slow. I whimpered when his finger fallowed in the zippers wake just as slowly.

"Love, you have no idea what you do to me." He whispered huskily.

"Oh, I have a pretty good idea." I said smugly, pressing my hips into his feeling his arousal. He pushed the dress down and growled when he saw I was completely naked. He turned me around and started stripping his own clothing off as he put his lips on mine.

I wrapped my arms around his neck and pulled myself up, wrapping my legs around his waist. I moaned when I felt the skin on skin contact. I lifted up and gently lowered myself onto him, causing me to moan and Alec to growl. I moved my hips on him, it felt as though I was dancing with him, and kept grinding into him. It didn't take long before I felt myself let go and moan out Alec's name, with him fallowing closely behind me.

He held onto me as he walked us to the bathroom. I wanted to taste him, so I brought my lips to his hungrily. I heard him turn the water on and the glass door open then close before I felt the warm water hit my back.

I slowly slid down his hard body, earning a growl from Alec when I brushed against his erection. I smirked at him knowing this was going to be a long, wonderful night. I turned into the water and started washing my hair. Before I turned around, I grabbed the body wash and turned to see Alec shamelessly looking me up and down with a smirk of his own.

"See something you like?"

"Yes, and I want it... now." He growled out. A small moan slipped out of my mouth from that growl. He ran his finger from my neck and slowly down towards my center. He slipped a finger into me, causing me to drop the body wash with a loud thump. Alec lift my right leg, hooking it over his hip, and swiftly entered me. I moaned out at the contact.

I wrapped my arms around his neck for better balance, and started moving my hips in time with him. It wasn't long before I let go, Alec fallowing behind me. He lowered my hip, and we continued on with our shower.

After washing each other, we got out of the shower, grabbing towels on our way to the bedroom. We crawled into bed, with me snuggling up to Alec ready for a good night's sleep.

"I love you Mrs. Volturi." Alec whispered. I loved being called that.

"I love you to, Mr. Volturi." I mumbled before falling asleep.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The next month went by with no problems. Alex and Aless were running around and speaking full sentences now. With them getting older and stronger, so were their gifts.

The ball was going to be in a month, and would be considered my 'coming out'. Yeah yeah, in other words, they were telling the vampire world of my being the princess.

I was playing with the kids in their room, when I heard someone come in through my bedroom door. Thinking it was Alec, I made no move to get up. I heard the footsteps coming closer to me, and even though I didn't have vampire hearing, I knew those weren't Alec's footsteps. Aless looked at me with a worried look before looking at her Aunt who had entered, who also wore a worried expression.

"Jane..." I called out.

"Bella, we are needed in the throne room. Gianna will take the children." Just as she said that, Gianna walked in the room. I gave her a warm smile, pulling myself up off the floor, and then fallowing Jane out of the door.

When we walked into the throne room, I walked to my spot by Marcus. Alec walked up beside me, with a blank face. I knew that face: he was getting ready to leave on a mission.

"Felix, Demetri, Alec you will be going on a mission, Jane will be joining you on this trip as well. There is a vampire in the states creating newborns, this may lead to a war. This must be taken care of immediately. You are to leave in an hour." Aro spoke. I looked at Alec and dropped to my knees. He was going to leave us, and we didn't know for how long.

"Love, come on." Alec spoke softly as he picked me up and carried me to our room. When we entered, Gianna quietly left.

"Your leaving." Aless spoke with sadness in her voice.

"Yes, but I'll be back baby girl." Aless ran to her father and started crying. Alex, my strong little man, walked over to me and hugged me. Alec pulled us over to him, and we had a big hug going on. We must have stayed standing there for awhile, because Jane joined our hug.

"Hey. We'll be back soon, I promised." She said stroking Alex and Aless's hair. They nodded and crawled out of our arms, and hugged her. I walked to Alec and breathed in his scent. I was going to miss him at night.

"Love, I will be back I promise." I nodded into his chest.

"Alec, we must leave now." Jane offered. I pulled away from Alec and wrapped our babies in my arms. We all cried watching Alec and Jane walk out of the room.

That night we all slept in my bed. Well let me rephrase that, Alex and Aless slept in my bed, I just laid there. I couldn't seem to sleep without Alec being here. The ache in my chest came back and knocked the breath out of me.

I felt the tears run silently down my cheeks. I looked down at my sleeping angels beside me and couldn't help but bend over and give each a kiss on their foreheads.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The following day seemed to drag. I was strong for my children, but when they weren't around, I fell apart, and only Alec could pick the pieces up.

This went on for a week, before I heard from him. It was wonderful to hear his voice. I slept that night, but not real well. I knew my body was worn out from maybe two hours asleep each night.

Another week went by, and I was starting to wonder if they were coming back anytime soon. I had started sitting in on the meetings, trying to figure things out before I'm changed. But it didn't seem to keep my mind busy, it always wondered back to Alec.

*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

We were sitting in the throne room, when I heard yelling outside the door. Two of the voices sounded scared and one just sounded pissed. We all looked at the door as it opened to reveal Felix.

"Alec and Jane are handling the people we went after. However you will not be happy." He spoke to me. I looked at him confused. He called out to Demetri to bring in the first two.

I looked at the door and my jaw hit the ground. There stood before me were Crystal and Victoria, two people I never thought I would see again. But they weren't the same, they had been changed. They looked at me confused, but didn't say anything.

"Father, what is going on?" I seethed out.

"They were part of the newborns. They must be killed."

"They are my friends." He looked at me weird. "They were my room-mates in Seattle. The must not have been taught."

"Dear, what do you suggest we do?" Now the girls were really looking at me weird.

"Teach them correctly, and give them the choice of joining." He nodded.

"I agree, but it is up to them." All eyes turned back to Crystal and Victoria, and they soon nodded. I felt the smile come across my face. That is until I heard the door open again. I looked up to see the one person I never wanted to see again. I was stunned into silence. I would know that red hair and screaming from anywhere.

"Silence!" Aro ordered. She finally looked at her surroundings and noticed me. She got a smirk on her face before speaking.

"At last I have found you, and in a place you don't belong." I felt my own growl building up in my chest. I heard the door open again, and looked at a very guilty Gianna before I saw my children running to me. "Ah, now I see why you are here. Your nothing but a toy to look after immortal children."

"Silence!" I ordered her in the same tone Aro had just used.

"And what are you going to do? Your nothing but a trashy human." Victoria dropped to the ground, screaming out in pain. I looked to see Jane looking at me confused, so she wasn't using her gift. I looked down to see my son, with a death glare towards Victoria.

"Alex!" I hissed. Victoria slowly stood up and before I could grab my son, he was walking towards him.

"You will never talk about my mother that way again. Or I will cause you the worst pain you have ever been in." He looked at his father, causing Alec to wink at Alex and smirk. Once Victoria got her composure back, she glared at me.

"Mother? So the little brats are yours? Do you even know who the father is?" I heard Alec growl at this.

"You will not speak to me or my children this way." I growled out.

"And what are you going to do about it whore?" She spat out.

"Right now, she holds the power of your life." Aro spoke. I smirked at Victoria.

"How does she do that? She's human."

"I may be human, but I hold power over you, you don't even know exists." I smirked.

"I have power over you as well child." She sang out.

"And, please tell, how do you hold power over me?" I asked in the same tone.

"Hows daddy doing?" She asked. I didn't understand what she was getting at. Looking around the room, no one else knew either. Except for my baby girl. Victoria was playing something in her head, causing my daughter to try and lunge after her. Her brother grabbed her before I could even move. "He did put up quite a fight for being a human. But he was easy, and good toO."

Aless let a sob out before grabbing my hand. I felt my breath catch in my throat at the scene that was going on in my head.

I looked in the mirror. I looked tired. Not my beautiful self. My fire red hair was getting a dull look to it. I had been tracking Bella Swan for awhile now, and I was getting tired of it. She would die. I would spend the rest of my existence to find her. I went back to Forks about two years after my mate James was killed, and had been here for a day.

The Cullen's house was empty, so I knew they were no longer here. I walked through their house, looking for any kind of information. I found out that Bella's father was the Chief of Police here and his address.

I left the house quickly and went to the house. I couldn't smell Bella. I would never forget her sent, strawberries and freesia. Well since she wasn't here, her father would do as a warning I was coming after her.

I left and went to the edge of town. No one would hear his screams out here. I found an empty house that would work perfectly for my plan. I pulled out the cell phone I had stolen off of a snack this morning and dialed the police station.

"Hello, Forks Police Department. How may I help you?" A male's voice spoke.

"Yes, there is a house on the edge of town. I saw someone breaking into it." He said he would send the chief out to take care of it. Too easy really. I walked around the house, waiting for him to show up.

It was a cute and small house. A little run down, but cute all the same. I heard gravel crunching in the driveway and knew he was here. I heard the door open and a smell float to me, he smelled some like Bella. He would be tasty.

"Can I help you?" I asked, stepping around the corner.

"Yes, I'm going to have to ask you to leave. This is private property." He stated all professional like, causing me to laugh.

"No, I don't think I will. See, I don't care about the law." I saw him pull his gun, and had to laugh even harder. "That won't hurt me you know." I pointed to his gun. He thought he'd try and fire a shot. When he saw there was no damage, I saw fear in his eyes. "You really shouldn't have done that." I threatened walking towards him.

"What are you? What do you want?"

"As to what I am, it's no concern of yours. As to what I want, that's easy. I want your skank of a daughter." I saw him hit me, but didn't feel it. I saw red, causing me to pick him up and throw him across the room and into the other wall. I heard his bones crack and smelt blood. This wouldn't take long.

He tried moving away from me, but ended up yelling out in pain. I saw more blood coming out of him and just wanted to get this over with. He was bleeding out.

"Tsk tsk, you shouldn't hurt yourself like that." I scolded.

"My daughter did nothing to you. Leave her alone!" He screamed out from pain and anger.

"That's where your wrong. Your Isabella was the cause of my James's death. I can't find her, you will do for now." I said before sinking my teeth into him and pulling the remaining blood out of him. His blood was good, I wanted more.

Once his body was drained, I found some gas and a lighter. I poured the gas all over the small house and his body before carefully making the lighter come to life and throwing it in the gas.

I stood outside and watched the house burn to ashes. When I heard vehicles coming, I turned and walked away.

My daughter let go of my hand with a loud sob. I didn't realize I also had tears running down my cheeks. Alec looked like he wanted to run to me and comfort me but couldn't.

"Momma." Aless cried out. No child should see what she just showed me. Hell no adult should see what I just saw. I settled my eyes on Victoria, and all I saw was red. This bitch took away my father! I walked up in front of her, squared my shoulders and spoke in a deadly whisper. I knew everyone could hear me, and my word was final on her life.

"You will die by my hand."
