Lydia POV

Aro is out of his mind, there's no way that he'll just agree to come back with me to the castle. I'm not Heidi! People don't just do whatever I want them to just because I charm them! There's no way he's coming back! Just because I was able to bring him to the Volturi the first time doesn't mean he'll come back. He knows all of my little tricks.

Besides that pesky coven of his is probably going to make this task harder. Uggh, here goes nothing.


Carlisle POV

I opened up the door to find Lydia standing on our front porch. Lydia didn't allow me to say anything before walking right into the living room. "Your whole coven's here right? Good," she said while sitting down in one of the chairs.

I called everyone downstairs figuring this must be important if Aro was sending Lydia by herself to Portland. When the whole coven was seated Lydia began to talk, "Carlisle, Aro has requested your return to Volterra. He will not being taking no for an answer. Either you come with me now peacefully or he'll send some more of the guard to take you to Volterra by force. It's your decision."

I was just about to respond when Lydia cut me off saying, "You don't have to leave your coven behind. They can come if they want to."

"Why now? After all this time why does he want me to come back now?" I asked.

"Scuplicia's gone, she left the coven. He needs your support, he needs you. If this wasn't important Carlisle he wouldn't have sent me and I wouldn't have come. He wants you back, la mia consorte," she responded.

"Why did she just call you that Carlisle?" Edward asked.

"What did she call him Eddie?" Emmett asked.

"Don't call me Eddie! She called Carlisle my consort," Edward growled at Emmett.

"My consort?" came unanimously from around the room.

"You haven't told them have you," Lydia responded when I shook my head no she continued, "They need to know Carlisle. I'll let you tell them on your own, I need to make a phone call home." Lydia said while walking out the door.

"Carlisle what is she talking about?" Alice asked from her spot on one of the couches with Jasper.

"Honey, you know you can tell us anything there are no secrets in this family," Esme replied while squeezing my hand.

I took a deep breath before saying, "Vampires can have two mates a first and a second. The only time they will fall for their second over their first is if they meet the second before the first. Scuplicia was Aro's second, I'm guessing that she found her first and left the coven because of that. If the vampire is with their second then their first might find their second and fall for them instead of their first."

"Is there a point to this boring speech your giving us doc?" Jacob asked.

"Yes there is Jacob….," I paused before continuing, "I'm Aro's first. I left Volterra after a bad fight with Aro about his and Scuplicia's relationship. That's the reason why he let me leave so peacefully."

Esme's hand let go of mine and her face mirrored the look on everyone besides Emmett's, shock.

"You and Aro a couple? You have got to be kidding me. Good one Carlisle," Emmett laughed.

When I didn't respond Emmett asked, "You are kidding right?"

"No Emmett, I'm not."

"But how, you're not gay?" Emmett asked.

"Love can cause people to do weird things, I'm definitely not gay. The only man that I've ever been attracted to is Aro. I can't explain why I am. Most of us aren't able to explain why we are attracted to our mate," I said just as Lydia walked back in the house.

"Good you told them. That will make things so much easier. Carlisle have you made your decision?" she asked.

"I'll go back with you, Lydia. Just let me grab my things and we can go," I said while getting up from the couch.

"Carlisle, you really don't think we'll let you go alone, do you?" Alice asked getting up from the couch.

"Yeah, Carlisle do you?" Emmett asked.

"Of course I don't, but I don't want you to go if you don't want to," I told them.

"Carlisle I've already had a vision of us going to Volterra, all of us, so everybody back your things," Alice standing up and dragging Jasper to the stairs. Everyone then followed the two of them up the stairs.

"Do you really think this is a good idea Lydia?" I asked her.

"Of course I do. I remember how happy you and Aro were back when you were together and I want you to be that happy again. Do you have any of your things from when you lived with us?" Lydia responded.

"Yes in a box in my room. Do you want me to go get it?" I asked.

"Yes, go get that and back the rest of your belongings. Tell your family we'll be leaving for the jet in an hour," Lydia said while sitting down on the couch getting ready to call someone.

I walked into mine and Esme's room to find her packing with a very upset look on her face. I grabbed the box from its shelf in the closet and two of my suitcases before grabbing some of my clothes, a few of my books, some medical journals, my paintings, and some of my other priced possessions.

An hour later we left for a small airport where we boarded one of the Volturi's private jets. Everyone sat in couples except for Esme and I who sat in different ends of the jet. I sat down in the back while she walked all the way up to the front. Lydia who was still on her phone sat down next to me. "Sorry about that Alec gets very anxious when I leave Volterra without him. Aro doesn't know that I'm bringing you back, so I say we give him a little surprise."

"How?"

"Easy, the last time he saw you, you looked different like Esme's Carlisle not his."

"And?"

"Well I'll just change your looks a bit, by changing your hair and your outfit. Where's your bag?" Lydia asked while getting up. I pointed towards the overhead compartment where my luggage was located.

Lydia grabbed the box and my suitcase that my clothes where she set it down on one of the tables the jet had. She then took out some of my clothes: black slacks, a black turtleneck, and black dress shoes. "Go change," she said while throwing them into my arms.

When I came back from the bathroom I saw the area where Lydia and I had been sitting filled with hair products and a black box waiting in her hands. "Here put this on," she said while opening up the case, inside it was my crest from when I lived with the Volturi.

She then spent the next couple of hours working on my hair getting it to appear like it had when I lived in Volterra. I then spent the rest of the flight reading while Lydia was texting and reading.

An hour before arriving in Volterra Lydia got up and moved to the kitchen area of the plane where she brought out a refrigerated bag and set it on the table in front of our seats. "Can I have all of your attention? Thank you, everyone besides the dog and half-breed need to come over here. In these bottles is the venom of a vampire who can give us human like qualities like being able to sleep, not sparkling, and the need to eat. Depending on how much you have depends on how human like you become you are required to have some throughout your time in Volterra. In these vials are a drop of the venom and animal blood. One drop allows you to not sparkle and eat, two allows you to sleep, and it goes on from there. Now grab a vial and drink up."

After everyone had grabbed a vial and drank the liquid Lydia put the vials back in the bag and placed it inside the bag she carried with her.

When we reached Volterra Demetri and Felix met us at the Volturi's private landing zone. They then helped Emmett, Jasper, and Jacob move the luggage to the two waiting limos. "If Aro doesn't know were all coming then how do we have limos waiting?" I asked Lydia while following her into a limo with Demetri, Jasper, Alice, Bella, and Edward.

"Hmm, oh I called Gianna had told her to have limos waiting for us and to not tell anyone but Felix and Demetri. The two of them were supposed to come meet me when I came back," Lydia replied.

"Lydia why do you have Demetri acting like a guard? Aren't you part of it?" Bella asked.

"I am part of the guard but my power is so rare that I have to have someone with me whenever I'm out of the castle unless I'm sent on a private mission, but as soon as I come back I'm guarded again. My power is similar to both Jane and Alec's but isn't as strong. I can cause a person physical pain strong enough to kill them, but I can only do it do a couple of people and it drains me out a lot. I also can heal some one's wounds by touching them, but both drain me pretty bad if I use them to much," Lydia responded.

"She's also Aro's little girl," Demetri replied.

"I am not," Lydia retorted.

"You are, you are basically the princess of the Volturi, besides he treats you like you're his daughter," Demetri said as we pulled up to the castle. Demetri and Felix grabbed the luggage from the cars and moved them to a waiting area to find out where everyone's rooms are. Alec and Jane met us at the entrance to the throne room where the five members of the guard entered to tell Aro, Marcus, and Caius how the mission had gone.


Aro POV

I should have known this would happen. I should have been expecting this. She was thinking of leaving even while Carlisle was here living with us. Why am I hurt? I saw this coming. Oh if only Carlisle was here? If only I hadn't lost both of my loves.

My thoughts were interrupted by Felix, Demetri, Alec, Jane, and Lydia entering the throne room. "How did the mission go?" I asked when they were all in their normal spots.

"Fine, master. Carlisle has agreed to come back to Volterra and his coven has agreed to come with him. They're a bit shocked by the news, but they all seem to be taking it rather well," Lydia replied.

"Good, anything else," I asked.

"Yes I have a surprise for you. Open the doors," Lydia commanded. The two guards in front of the doors opened them to reveal….

My Carlisle, my Carlisle, he's back, he's home!


Do you really think I would let it all resolve there? Aro and Carlisle have to really get back together besides Esme has to get her revenge on Aro somehow. And do you really think the Cullens are okay with Carlisle being gay?

Anyways please review!
