Decisions

EPOV

"Edward?" she whispered as we lied on the couch waiting for the glass wall to be fixed.

"Mmmhm." I replied.

"Who was she, that girl?"

"What girl." I asked trying to play it off.

"Edward, don't play dumb. Lacey, what does she have to do with you." She insisted. I was going to have to tell her the truth. Damn.

"She's the sixth sister from Tanya's coven. She was living with Tanya when we were. We all lived together for many years. We actually grew to be very close friends but she decided to separate and go off alone."

"Why did she say I thought we put those hard feelings behind us? What did she mean by that?"

"Bella she was kidding. That's the way she is. Believe me it meant nothing." She didn't seem convinced but it was the truth, Lacey has always been sarcastic and a good liar.

"Oh, well anyway we should tell our families." She said quickly changing the subject.

"They shouldn't be long, it about 7pm they should be back by 8. Plus I think we need to ask Carlisle to give a check up before we do anything." She nodded.

They returned right on schedule. Carlisle took Bella to the hospital for the check up and it was official she was pregnant. We returned home with news for the family. I'm sure they were expecting us since they met us at the door.

Alice came up to us first. Of course she knew everything. She hugged Bella and then me. The family was as well informed as us and one by one congratulated us. Even to my surprise, Rosalie, she was genuinely happy for us.

Months Later…….

BPOV

It has been 4 months since I found out I was pregnant. We broke the news to Charlie shortly after we talked to the Cullens. If you can call it that, they already knew everything, we didn't say a word, Alice had told them all before we got home. Everyone was exited for us yes, even Rosalie. When she had come up to congratulate there was not a hint of resentment it was pure happiness.

During this time the visit from Lacey never came. Deep inside it always bothered me that she never showed. There was clearly something she had to say, she even said it was important. But she never showed. These things ran through my head as I lied beside Edward in our room. He had his hand placed on my stomach. It was around midnight so I soon lost consciousness.

EPOV

I lied in bed with Bella sleeping in my arms and my hand on her stomach. Since she was so thin her bump stood out.

Edward, I know you can hear me. I've come back for the conversation you so waited for Someone thought. It was Lacey. It had been four months since she'd made her appearance here. That day even if I tried to look into her thoughts to know what she wanted to talk about she wouldn't have let me. Like she is doing now, she's hiding her thoughts from me. I silently took Bella out of my arms and laid her flat on the bed and covered her with a blanket.

"Lacey" I said as soon as I saw her at the bottom of the staircase

"Edward, I've been waiting for you." She said smiling.

"What is it that you want to speak to me about?" I said getting to the point.

"Look, I'm sure you know by now that Bella is in fact expecting your child."

"Who told you that?" I asked puzzled. She was giving me the impression that she'd known this before me.

"I've known longer than you have. That's the reason I was here the first time. But I saw that neither of you knew about it. So I decide to wait a while but I've waited long enough. The time has come to tell you of the great danger your child and wife are about to face."

"What do you mean by that?"

"Edward, if you think about it it's not hard to figure out. Look at the big picture. An unborn child from a human and a vampire. Not including your abilities and hers. You can read minds and she can protect hers. If the Volturi was jealous of your abilities before, how do you think they're going to react now? Your child might be born with abilities neither of you can imagine." realization hit me. They want my child.

"How do you know this?"

"They called for me. The Volturi did, they wanted for me join them because of my power. But I turned them down. But before I left I overheard them speaking of you. They mentioned your last visit to Italy and how Bella was soon to give birth to your child. It was Aro and a guard. I'm sure he held some kind of power that gave him access to that information. The point is that Aro wants your child, he's afraid that he may grow up to be more than he is. You know he can't deal with the fact that there might be someone with greater abilities than his own." That was true, that was the reason behind him asking us to join him.

I stayed silent for a long time. I couldn't let anything happen to my unborn child or my wife. I had to do something, anything.

"I just thought you should know. Be prepared. Look, I have to go, if they find out I told this they won't be happy. Good luck and be careful." She said as she walked away.

I was still in shock. I need to do something. I can't let them get to my baby. If that means going to Italy myself, that's a risk I'm willing to take. I went up to the study to find a paper and a pen. I was going to have to leave while Bella was asleep. She won't let me leave without promising I will come back. But I can't lie; I don't know what's going to happen.

I'm sorry,

Bella. I have to take care of something important. Be safe and take care of our child,

Love,

Edward

I put the note beside the bed. I kissed her and reluctantly walked out the door. On the way to the car I dialed Alice. She was probably out hunting but had her phone on her.

She answered at the second ring. "Edward?"

"Are you alone?"

"Pretty much the others are in the cliffs, why what's wrong?" she asked already anxious

"I'm leaving. I need you to go back home to take care of Bella."

"Where are you going?"

I explained everything that Lacey told me.

"Alice the Volturi wants my baby and that's something I won't allow. I don't care what I have to do."

"Edward, do you remember what happened the last time you set foot in Italy unannounced. We all very nearly lost our lives. There's got to be something else we can do."

"At the moment there isn't. I'm not letting them harm my family. And as for the danger, that's just a risk i'm willing take take. Hurry back to Bella. You may tell the family but don't you dare say a word about this to Bella." I warned

"Edward, I don't like this. You shouldn't go alone."

"Alice what would you do?" I asked

She sighed. "Fine but call back as soon as there's some news."

"I will and please take care of them." I asked then hung up. I was already at the airport and at the front desk.

"May I have a ticket for Italy, tonight?"
