Renee was feeling very restless. She could not sleep all night. She hated to admit that she felt helpless. She was scared. Scared for her life, scared for her children's. She knew she had to do something and do something fast. Otherwise, her husband will find out and kill her and her unborn child.

She looked at the sleeping form of her daughter lying next to her in the bed. She looked so peaceful sleeping. Content. Happy. Poor child had not had the best childhood. Instead of a loving and caring father, she got a cruel man for a father. But she will not look scared and sad all the time. Renee vowed to herself that she would get both her daughters out of this hellhole.

And Renee knew what she needed to do.

Didyme Volturi was a happy woman. Her son was finally going to have a boy. She thanked the gods that the true heir of the Volturi family was going to be born soon. She would love her grandson as much as she loved her son. He will be spoilt rotten and groomed to take over the family. Well, At least her daughter in law did something right for once, she thought as Didyme made her way to the said women's room.

She knocked the door. "Renee! Wake up! Breakfast is ready! Open the door."She waited for a while but Renee did not open it. Thinking that something is fishy, she opened the door.

Her daughter-in-law's room was empty.

"What do you mean she is gone?" thundered Aro Volturi angrily at his most faithful servant Jane.

Jane replied meekily,"All her belongings are gone, master. There is no trace of her. And..."

"And...?"

"And she has taken your daughter with her."

"WHAT!"

Aro was very angry. He cannot believe that the spineless bitch ran away and took his daughter with him. After all that, he has done for her. Huh! That bitch is going to get it. She should have known better. He will not let her go. He will search the whole earth for her. And when he finds her he will kill her he thought smugly.

Suddenly the doors opened and Aro's right hand man Dimitri came in dragging a blindfolded woman with him.

"Master, I have got her as you requested."

"Well done, Dimitri. You may take of her blindfold now."

Aro looked at the woman who was staring at him with defiant eyes. Huh, he was going to have fun with her.

"So, Dr. Carmen will you please tell me what you told my wife yesterday that she ran away?"

"I do not know what you are talking about. "replied the doctor.

"Nonsense! You know what I am talking about. Your death is certain. If you do not cooperate, I will make sure you have a painful death. You will beg me to kill you faster but I will drag it as long as I can. Jane here is pretty innovative about torture."

"I am not going to tell you anything, you bastard.", said the doctor defiantly.

"You won't? Dimitri please show our guest how we deal with uncooperative people."

Carmen looked with wide eyes as Dimitri took out a knife from his pockets and proceeded to slit her wrists slowly. My god it was painful. She could not bear it. "Stop! Please Stop! I don't know where she is.", she cried out as she fell on the ground helplessly

"But you know why she left don't you darling. Tell me now. Or else …", said Aro pulling her up with her hair."Jane looks pretty excited to get her hands on you…"

"I told her..told her.. that she is not having a boy but a girl"

"WHAT! You lied! You bitch. Now everything is ruined. I cannot have a daughter again. I am going to kill them both. Maybe I will kill my elder daughter too, she has been nothing but a pain.", fumed Aro.

Aro called out," Jane, Dimitri."

"Yes master.", they chorused.

"Jane, darling. Make sure she suffers before you kill her. Dimitri I want you to trace Renee immediately. I want to know where she is now." And with that Aro turned and left the room with Carmen's terror filled screams escorting him out.

Renee looked around the sets searching for Sue. Sue had been a lifesaver ever since she arrived at Los Angeles. In a new city with no home, no money, a kid and another on the way, Sue had not only given her a home and employment but also friendship. She was eternally grateful to Sue. She remembered her first day in LA.

I was scared. I had a child and another on the way. But I had nowhere to go. I was dehydrated and hungry. My daughter looked worse than I did. Unconsciously I stumbled upon a movie studio. There was a great hustle going on, everyone was busy.

Suddenly I heard someone speaking," you hey you! Aren't you the pregnant body double we hired for our lead actress? What are you doing outside? They are looking for you all over!"

"Ma'am I am not…"

"Whatever you want to say can wait. We are already behind schedule. Come on. Let us go! "with that she dragged me inside the movie studio.

I fondly remembered how I was forced to do the scene as an extra. It was my first paid job. Sue was like a force of nature working in the studio. She was the casting director's assistant. After the shoot she asked me if I was lost? I told her I was lost but now I am not. Somehow, she understood. She asked me if I had a place to stay. When I answered no, she said great you can stay with me. She was so earnest to help me that I could not say no. That is how I met her brother.

"Brother!" Sue called out "look who I have brought."

A masculine voice said "Who? The Pope?" He was beautiful.

"Very funny. No this is Renee. She and her daughters are going to stay with us."

He came forward and shook my hand. In his deep voice he said," Hello. My name is Charlie Swan."I could only nod dumbly. He suddenly saw my daughter and dropped to his knees.

"Hello sweetheart. What is your name?"

"Rosalie, sir"

Do you like chocolate?"

She nodded her head vigorously.

He looked amused."Come on, I know where Sue hides all her chocolate. I will give you some."

"Hey! ", cried out Sue indigently.

I smile as I remember that memory. Now I was heavily pregnant and could go into labour anytime. I had been feeling small contractions all day. I was waiting for Sue to finish her shift so that we could go home. Suddenly I had a wet feeling between my ! My water broke!

"Help! Someone help me! I am in labour"

"Renee" I heard Sue's voice call out."Shit call an ambulance"

A guy said, "There will be no ambulance. Have you seen the weather? It is raining so heavily. All the roads are closed"

Hearing this I panicked. I didn't want to lose the baby" Sue. Do something", I shouted

"Don't they have a doctor on set? Call her." Sue shouted to the spot boy

Suddenly I saw the doctor come. She examined me and said" She is fully dilated. The baby is coming any time now. We have to do the childbirth here. Take her to the infirmary I will set up everything else."

"It will be all right Renee," Sue consoled me as she and another person carried me to the infirmary.

Six hours later as I held my newborn baby girl in my arms, it was all worth it. She looked so cute and peaceful in my arms. How could someone even think of harming her? As the doors to my room opened I got rid of all my negative thoughts. There came Charlie and Rose.

"Congratulations, Renee", said Charlie. "She is beautiful.," he said as he took in my new daughter.

"Thanks, Charlie. Rosie sweetie do you want to see your little sister?" I asked my elder daughter.

She nodded her head and came forward. She touched the baby's finger and said, "she is small and wrinkly, mama!"

"Yes Rosie she is. And you know you were also small and wrinkly", I said Rose's eyes went wide at this.

"Ok sorry to interrupt people but the doctor wants to talk to you about some forms, so why don't I take you to the cafeteria for something to eat while Charlie keeps your mom company, Rosie."Sue said.

"Food! I am hungry., Rose shouted as she and Sue went out the door.

The Doctor came in."Ms. Dwyer. we need to fill out your baby girl's birth certificate. I have written your name. But what is her father's name?"

"Her father's name…" I trailed off unsure of what to do.

"It's Charlie Swan, doctor. I am her father.," said Charlie.

I looked at Charlie with gratitude in my eyes. We kept staring at each other. The doctor's voice knocked me back into reality.

"And what are you naming your daughter?", asked the doctor.

"Isabella.."I trailed off… "Her name is going to be Isabella Marie"

"Isabella Marie Swan..Hmm..I like it.", said Charlie

As I looked down at my sleeping daughter's peaceful face, I was overwhelmed with love for her. I whispered to her, "I am never going to let anyone harm you, my precious Bella. I promise you that"
