Huge Error
Disclaimer: I don't own either series, if I did Bill and Edward would have died from the go. Sorry I haven't updated in a while, my computer's been on the fritz lately and this is one of my motivator stories.
A month later
I had arrived in Volterra only a few hours previously, and am speaking with Aro. He kept talking about the twins adamantly; something I hadn't mentioned to Eric was that Aro, being Aro, had created a drug of some sorts that could turn him human for the night and slept with Bella, resulting in the twins.
"How much longer until Charles and Arebella start school Aro?" I knew that even with the 'turning human' drug that the twins would still hold the vampire gene, which would help them grow more rapidly and make Aro's genetic traits more dominant than Bella's.
"I would say only about two, maybe three months at most," at that moment Bella, Charles, and Arebella come into the room. Upon seeing their Aro they rush over to him.
"Papa!" they scream in unison, like any other set of twins would at the age of four, though they were really closer to six months old.
"Hello, have you two been good for your mother?" they just beam. It would seem Bella has very rambunctious and well behaved children.
"Yes papa," Arebella says demurely. She had Bella's face shape; but everything else was all Aro. Her eyes were the darkest blue you'd ever seen, like a true Safire only deeper. Her hair has black and curly, with tints of red. She has Bella's personality though and would grow into a beauty one day.
"That's good to hear," he says fondly. He's like more of a father than I ever have, and I've had more experience with all the teenage vampires I've at home.
"Thank you papa," Charles says cheerily. Child reminded me of a child version of Aro, he'd be an interesting character when he grew older. His eyes weren't like Arebella's though, his were an iced blue reminded me of Bella's baby blues a great deal; but held a deeper, richer tone to them. His hair like Aro's is stick strait and jet black, almost blue.
"Aro if you don't keep an eye on them you'll have to beat people off of them with sticks," I state to help him remember his manners.
"Oh Carlisle I'm sorry, I seem to have forgotten my manners. These two tend to make me forget almost everything else around me," he said the last statement toward Bella, who'd turned toward me, "Charles, Arebella may I introduce to you my good friend Carlisle Cullen," he said kneeling next to them. They look up at me for a moment before stepping forward.
"Hello Mr. Cullen," they say in unison. Damn, I never realized how creepy something like a hello could be; but they pull it off quite well.
"Hello Charles, Arebella," I look up toward Bella and smile. In many respects I still view her as my daughter, "Hello Bella. Have these two really been as good as they've told Aro or are they like Emmet and put on a good front for the public to see?" Emmet is a good son; he's just more mischievous than what most people would assume him to be.
"Oh they have they're good moments; but for the most part they're like Emmet," it was obvious now that they were smiling bashfully, "and hello to you to Carlisle. How's the rest of the family?"
"They're good for the most part," Edward was still on shaky ground though, "Edward is still a bit shaken; but he's recovering like anyone else with a broken heart would," she smiles when I say this. She may not be in love with him any longer; but she still loves him and is concerned for him.
"I'm glad to hear it; he'll find someone eventually, I know he will," I just hope she's right. He only had her for a year before she found Aro; now all we could do was pray.
"I know that, you know that, they know that; the hard part is convincing Edward of it," he really didn't believe that he'd find any one.
"Sometimes love comes in the most unexpected forms; tell him that," she then turns toward Aro and the twins, "Now if you'll excuse us these two need to go finish their studies; they just wanted to come and say hi to their papa."
"Need we really mama?" Charles asks.
"Yes," She says shaking her head, "now come along. If you finish early I'll let you torment Caius to the point of insanity," she makes an offer that they more than likely won't be able to refuse.
"OK!" and with that they start to run down the hall they'd come in through.
"See you round Carlisle," she says staring me in the eyes, hers now a brilliant ruby color. She been turned a month after the twins had been born.
"It was nice seeing you again Bella," and with that she flinted down the hall after the twins.
"They're going to send Caius up the wall one of these day; but he considers them his own in many senses so I guess it's only natural give him the same treatment they give me on many an occasion," so that's why they're so aliment about seeing Caius, he was their unofficial godfather.
"He must love the attention though?" he'd never liked Anthenodora.
"Yes he does; he just doesn't like how they act. They drive him absolutely bonkers at times," I can see it. Those two seem like balls of pure and utter energy.
"Shall we go to your study to talk business now?"
"Yes, lets. I'd like to know what this 'True Blood' tastes like," Aro seemed genuinely curious about the drink. I just hope I can keep Eric's bonded out of this whole thing. Within moments he and I were in his personal study, "May I see your memories from the encounter?" I nod because I know there is no stopping him from doing so anyway.
Sorry for the cut off; but I want to leave it as a cliffy.
