"Talking" Italian

Chapter 3

Teddy could smell the anger, surprise, shock, and confusion coming from the vampires. The large, white living room reeked with their mixed emotions. The young half breed looked around at the vampires standing scattered about the room. Confusion and shock was easy to see in Emmett's eyes and face and the eleven year old was surprised at just how easy the large vampire was to read. Edward looked surprised and then anger filled his half black, half gold eyes. Alice was attempting to hide a smile but Teddy had a sneaking suspicion that the petite, female vampire had already guessed that he was hiding something. Jasper was the hardest for the young werewolf to read but he still managed to see the surprise in his eyes. Rosalie looked like she wanted to kill something and he seriously hoped it would not be him. Esme was looking at him with surprise, a dainty pale hand covering her open mouth. Disappointment showed in the blonde vampires golden eyes and it made Teddy feel bad for lying to them.

"You told us your name was Theodore Nott," Edward spat acidly. His voice was deadly calm and low in volume, shaking with suppressed anger. Jacob turned toward the bronze haired vampire, growling at him warningly. Teddy placed a hand on his arm and the tan skinned teenager looked down at him, curiosity in his dark eyes. Teddy turned his eyes from his mate and to the bronze haired vampire trying to kill him with his eyes.

"I ran away from the Volturi. It was less of a risk to all of you and to myself if I lied about my name," Teddy told him in rapid Italian. He did not bother trying to speak in English to the vampire. Alice had told him yesterday while they were shopping that the entire family was able to speak Italian and not just Carlisle. That was just a cover they used while pretending to be human.

"What else have you lied to us about?" Edward demanded. He took a step forward, toward Teddy and Jacob gave a second, louder warning growl, leaning down and forward in a partial crouch.

Before Teddy could answer, the glass doors at the back of the living room flew open completely on their own. An invisible force shoved the seven vampires and Jacob against the walls harshly. The vampires and Jacob growled and struggled against their invisible bonds. Teddy was the only one not pinned to the wall and he knew why that was. He could hear the crackle of magic in the air and feel the pressure of its power against his skin. He had felt this magic before while he was growing up and it always comforted and protected him. This time was different. His magic reacted to his mate being shoved violently against the wall and restrained. It lashed out uncontrollably and managed to push away the other magic restraining Jacob. The dark skinned teen slumped forward, slightly off balance from his invisible bonds disappearing without warning. Teddy swayed, his eyes closing in an attempt to make the room stop spinning. Pushing back the other magic had been difficult because of the vast difference in power. The young wizard would have fallen if warm, strong arms had not wrapped around him to steady him.

An angry snarl broke the dizzy preteen out of his thoughts. Slowly, he opened his eyes but was unable to make out the scene in front of him because his vision was blurry. It took a moment and several blinks for his vision to clear again. When it did he nearly screamed. Standing in front of the glass wall of the Cullens' living room were five vampires wearing the cloaks of the Volturi guard. However, this was not what scared Teddy. He had known these five vampires all of his life and he had not feared them since he was a baby. No, what scared the boy were the two male vampires standing in the middle of the line. Their eyes were narrowed in cold, angry glares that were focused on Jacob.

"Get your hands off of my son," Harry snarled angrily at the teenager. Alec, who was standing beside him, did not say anything but a mist started spreading slowly across the floor toward Jacob. Teddy's eyes widened and he instinctively thrust his hands out in front of him. A solid wall of light blue magic sprung up in the path of the mist, stopping it from reaching Jacob.

"Papa!" Teddy exclaimed. His voice shook with surprise and anger at his father's attempt to attack his mate.

"Harry let the Cullen's go," Jayne said with a sigh.

"Not until I get my son back," Harry snarled at her.

"Is there a reason there are five Volturi guards in my house?" Carlisle inquired, calmly and politely. He spoke as if he was not pressed back against a wall of his own living room by an invisible force.

"We're here to bring Teddy back home, Carlisle. Felix and I came along to make sure Harry and Alec didn't get too out of control," Jayne answered.

"You're not taking him anywhere. I don't care if you are his parents. I will not let vampires take–" Jacob's sentence was cut off by Teddy putting a hand over his mouth.

"Shut up before you make my Daddy madder than he already is," Teddy hissed at him. His dull blue eyes were narrowed in warning and staring up at confused dark brown.

"Teddy change back right now. You look like a bloody Malfoy," Harry said through clenched teeth, his voice a low growl. The eleven year old rolled his eyes at his dad but did not protest. Jacob and the Cullens stared in surprise as, right in front of their eyes, Teddy's dirty blonde hair lengthened until in fell to his waist and darkened to a dark brown, almost black, color. His dull gray-blue eyes changed into a bright green with flecks of red. His light tanned, olive skin lost its color so it became clear to them that he spent most of his time inside.

"How did you do that?" Jacob asked his young mate in awe.

"Don't answer that, Teddy," Harry cut in before his son could respond.

Jacob's head snapped up to look at Harry, his dark eyes narrowed in anger. "Let him speak for himself. He may be young but he's not a baby," he snapped. His voice was rough and gravelly from the growl that was rumbling in his chest. Harry hissed in response, his lips pulling back to bare his fangs. Teddy sighed and slipped out of Jacob's now lax hold, stepping away from the older werewolf. He waved his hand at the Cullens, willing his magic to free them, and they moved away from the wall. Harry did not even notice that his eleven year old son had removed the charm from the seven vampires.

Jayne rolled her eyes at the back of Harry's head and walked calmly toward Teddy. The Cullen's watched her warily but did not move to stop her when they saw Teddy smile at the female vampire. Jayne came to a halt in front of the short wizard and ruffled his dark brown hair affectionately, a small soft smile on her pale face.

"You okay, kiddo?" Jayne inquired. Teddy nodded a grin lighting up his face.

"Yeah. I have been having a lot of fun, Aunt Jayne. I traveled all over California before coming here," he told her excitedly. He moved his hands around as he spoke. Jayne chuckled softly, her crimson eyes soft as she looked down at Teddy.

"That must have been a very exciting experience for you. You got to meet a lot of new people and go to many places you've never been at before. I'd love to hear all about it," Jayne told him honestly. Teddy's smile widened and his hands began moving again as he started talking in rapid Italian. Jacob was only able to catch a few words in English and it was only because those words did not have an Italian translation. He was unable to keep a smile from pulling up the corners of his mouth as he watched his young mate talk enthusiastically about his travels across the west coast. The shifter found himself thinking that the young werewolf was cute when his eyes were lit up with excitement and awe, his hands flying all about him in wild gestures, and how the smile never fell from his face while he spoke.

"Teddy get your things," Harry interrupted. His voice was flat and emotionless. Teddy's head snapped toward his dad, his eyes wide and filled with so many emotions that they were unreadable even to the vampires. However, Jasper, because of his ability to feel emotions, did not need to see his eyes to know what the preteen was feeling. Teddy's surprise, hurt, sadness, and anger was clear as day to the blonde vampire. "We're leaving for Italy as soon as possible. You're grounded for running away and I'm not going to be letting you out of my sight for a long time."

Teddy's emerald and crimson eyes suddenly filled with anger that was masking a deep sadness. The unexpected emotions hit Jasper so hard it was almost like a physical blow. He took a step backward and leaned against the white wall, bracing a hand against it to remain standing. His breathing, although unnecessary, spend up with the influence of the boy's emotions. "Not leaving your sight? How old am I, Daddy!" Teddy demanded angrily. His voice shook with his unhidden anger and suppressed sadness. Jayne looked at Harry and Alec, a silent warning in her cold crimson eyes.

"Ten," Harry said without hesitating.

Without warning every window on the first floor of the house shattered at the same time, including the back wall of the house. Everyone, including the vampires, flinched but Teddy. The sadness was easier to see now in his two toned eyes. "I'm eleven. My birthday was two weeks before I ran away. Everyone was there to celebrate it; everyone but my own parents because you were too busy fighting and avoiding each other like the plague to even spend time with me. I could not take it anymore! All you did was ignore each other and ignore me. It took me running away for you to even pay attention to me and you still aren't speaking to each other." He could feel his magic building as he spoke and when he was done he let it go, spinning around sharply. He disappeared from the living room with a loud crack.

"That's why we wouldn't agree to come with you before now. We were waiting for you two to get over yourselves and talk but that obviously didn't happen. You were both being so selfish and stubborn that you were hurting Teddy by ignoring each other. It took all of my self control not to torture the both of you for the pain you have put that boy through," Jayne hissed coldly at Harry and Alec. She then turned her attention to Demetri and Felix. "Felix stay here and make sure those two talk to each other, and I mean actually talk. Demetri I need you to lead me and the wolf to the kid so we can try and fix their mess."

The light haired vampire nodded and led Jayne and Jacob out the back door of the Cullen's house. Harry ran in the opposite direction out the front door, followed by Alec and Felix. The Cullens looked at each other, exchanging confused glances.

"What just happened?" Emmett asked confused.

Demetri led Jayne and a transformed Jacob through the woods. The trees began thinning as they got closer to what they assumed was a clearing. They exited the forest and entered a large clearing. There in the clearing, sitting on the ground in front of a boulder, was Teddy. The eleven year old was curled up with his knees to his chest and his arms wrapped around his legs. The werewolf and two vampires ran toward the boy and stopped before him. Jacob curled around him, lying in the space between Teddy and the boulder. Jayne knelt down in front of the boy while Demetri remained standing. Teddy twisted around and buried his face in his mates' side, grabbing fistfuls of his fur. Jacob made a rumbling sound that was almost a purr when he felt the young boys' tears wetting his russet fur.

"Hey, come one stop crying, kiddo. We're all going to fix this, I promise," Jayne said gently.

"They don't love me anymore. They promised they would always love me but they lied. Why would they ignore me just because they are fighting with each other?" Teddy sobbed. His voice was muffled in Jacob's side but the two vampires and one werewolf heard him perfectly.

"Oh sweetie, I don't think they meant to hurt you. They're your parents and they'll always love you no matter what," Jayne said comfortingly.

"Jayne's right kiddo. They were scared sick when they realized you were gone. Your dads are just too stubborn for their own good most of the time," Demetri said to Teddy.

Teddy turned and looked at Demetri with anger in his eyes. "What does them being stubborn have to do with them ignoring me?" he demanded. Jacob gave a signal nod to show he agreed with his young mate. Jayne narrowed her red eyes at the large russet wolf.

"You are not helping fix this situation, mutt," Jayne snapped.

Teddy growled and lunged at Jayne, pushing the female vampire to the forest floor. He glared at his aunt and got in her face. "Do not call Jacob a mutt. He may be a shifter but he is. Not. A. Mutt. Do not insult my mate, Aunt Jayne," Teddy growled angrily. He gave a surprised yelp when gentle jaws grasped the back of his shirt and lifted him up into the air. He was pulled away from Jayne and back toward Jacob. The shifter placed him beside him again but this time Teddy was not against his side. This time Teddy was placed between his front legs. He was about to get up when a leg was placed on his lap, effectively pinning him where he sat. Teddy sighed and leaned back against the side of Jacob's neck.

Jayne stood back up and brushed off her clothes. "Are you and...Jacob going to be okay here by yourselves?" she asked Teddy. The young werewolf nodded. Jayne looked over at Demetri and the blonde vampire stood up.

"Demetri and I are going to go back to the Cullens' house. Come back when you two feel ready, kiddo. We'll try and talk some sense into your dads," Jayne said to Teddy. Teddy gave a small smile and snuggled into his mate. Jayne and Demetri were gone in the blink of an eye, leaving the shifter and werewolf by themselves.

Harry ran blindly through the forest that surrounded Forks. He did not know where he was going or even see the trees zipping past him like green and brown blurs. He needed to get away from everyone's accusing stares. They did not understand what he was feeling. They had no idea how hard it had been for him to stay away from his mate and his son. They would not believe or understand that Harry had avoided Teddy because he thought Alec would take care of him. He did not think that Alec would abandon Teddy because of a little fight between himself and Harry. He had thought that Alec loved Teddy like his own son despite the boy not being related to either of them by blood. Clearly Harry had been wrong in his assumptions of the other vampires' feelings.

Harry was pulled from his thoughts by someone tackling him from behind. A sound like thunder tore through the surrounding forest as the second vampire collided with Harry. The brunette twisted around while he fell and landed hard on his back with the attacking vampire on top of him. He could see light brown hair, messy from the run, resting on his chest. Familiar hands gripped tight at his clothes, as if the other man did not want to let him go. The shorter male pushed himself off of Harry slightly so he could look down at his face. Alec looked at his mate with unreadable crimson eyes. Harry closed his identical colored eyes, waiting for the insults and yelling he was sure to hear from the man he loved. The wizard's eyes snapped open in surprise when he felt a tongue gently lapping at his tears. Soon after Harry had been turned he had found out that he could still cry however his tears were blood instead of water. Alec pulled back again once Harry had stopped crying.

"Harry I am so sorry. I never meant to hurt you or Teddy. God I love both of you more than anything else. I felt like I was slowly burning being away from you and our son for those long, endless months. I'm tired of fighting. I just want my boys back. I miss lying in your arms through the night. I miss playing with Teddy and watching you play with him. I feel stupid for arguing about his education. We can send him to any school you want as long both of you are happy," Alec said. His voice was pleading and apologetic, showing Harry how sad and lonely the other vampire had been. It showed Harry that Alec had been just as lonely as he had been. Harry wrapped his arms around his smaller mate.

"I'm sorry too. I pushed so hard about Teddy going to a wizard school because I wanted him to have the experience and the chance to make friends. He wouldn't have gotten that with a tutor. I love you and I miss you too," Harry apologized.

Alec leaned down and captured his mates' lips. The lips that he had missed and that he had longed for. Harry returned the kiss, pouring all of his desire for his mate into it.

Their tongues explored the long absent mouth of their mate and their hands entangled in each others hair. Harry rolled them over so that he was on top of the smaller vampire.

Breaking the kiss, Harry whispered, "I have missed you."

Alec answered, "So have I."

Alec's eyes fluttered shut, as he felt Harry's magic sweep over them, banishing their clothes.

Harry wedged himself between Alec's legs and Alec wrapped his legs around his mates' waist.

Looking deep into Harry's crimson eyes, Alec said, "It has been too long."

"Far too long," Harry answered. Then he pushed himself forward, entering Alec.

This was not the tender lovemaking that the two mates often shared. This was an aggressive reclaiming of a mate.

Harry grunted out, "We…will…never…let…things...stand…between…us…like…this…again." Each of Harry's words was punctuated by a thrust deep into Alec.

Alec, who was seeing stars every time Harry slammed into him, agreed, "Never."

Harry leaned down and captured Alec's mouth, his tongue thrusting between the red lips of his mate.

Alec raked his hands over Harry's back, as Harry took him from both ends.

Each of Harry's thrusts was met by Alec pushing himself back onto Harry's raging manhood.

Their long denied passion soon drove them to a frenzied pace. The animalistic rutting soon pushed them over the edge. They both moaned into the kiss as they reached climax.

Then Harry rolled them over, so that the smaller vampire was lying on top of him.

Alec, whose mate was still inside him, nuzzled against Harry's chest and said, "I love you."

Harry kissed the top of Alec's head and answered, "I love you as well."

They lay there in a comfortable silence and just enjoying being back in the others arms. That is until Alec remembered their eleven year old son. He shot up off of Harry, the other vampire gasping as his soft member suddenly dropped from the tight passage that had encased him. He watched confused as his mate gathered his clothes and started pulling them on quickly. Hurt showed in his crimson eyes as Alec seemed to just be ready to leave after having sex with him.

"Harry, are you just going to sit there or are you going to help me find our son?" Alec asked. Harry's hurt faded and his eyes widened in shock. He could not believe that he had forgotten about his son. He jumped to his feet and simply spelled his clothes on. This earned him a playful glare from Alec and he smirked in answer. He held his wand in his palm and concentrated on an image of his son in his head.

"Point me," Harry commanded. The wand spun around in his hand and finally stopped, pointing somewhere in the forest. Both vampires took off into the woods, letting the wand guide them toward their son.
