I was currently sat in a bubble made by my shield; I sat reading a book absent mindly rubbing my belly. Why was I sat in a self made bubble? Because vampires are idiots!

After I stupidly believed we could talk about what was going to happen the whole room went wild. As soon as the words had left my mouth about Victoria coming, the drama in the room started. They were arguing about ways to deal with the situation. Edward was adamant the best plan would be for us to run and hide, Emmett and Peter were convinced that everyone should stay and fight, Jasper and Charlotte were arguing to go and hunt down Victoria and find her before she found me. Rosalie was one minute arguing in agreement with Edward, then whenever Jasper or Charlotte made a good point agreeing with them, or arguing because someone had said something bad about her mate. Esme, Carlisle and Alice were only getting involved when necessary to break up an argument that was going too far or in Alice's case if it was to defend her mate. It was bedlam!

I could not be bothered listening to them all any longer so I decided to hang out in my shield where I wouldn't have to hear anything going on outside of it. I don't think they had even stopped arguing enough to notice I was not participating in what was going on. I decided seen as I was using extra energy on holding my shield in place I better have some blood.

I made my way into the kitchen and warmed up some blood; I sat and got myself comfortable on the stool at the breakfast bar and enjoyed my drink. Once I was finished I washed my used cup and made my way back into the living room. The idiots were still arguing. I made my way over to the couch and expanded my shield to push Peter off the seat he was sitting on. I briefly moved my shield from around myself.

"Hey what was that for?" he asked annoyed.

"Well seen as you all were too busy arguing among yourselves to even ask what I want or think; I am going to go to sleep." I told him angrily. "Not one of you even noticed I was using my shield so I didn't have to listen to you all arguing over MY life! No one noticed it drained me so much I just had to drink extra blood! So no one will notice that I am now going to go to sleep!" With that I abruptly pulled my shield back up and curled up on the couch with a blanket, I fell asleep knowing that my point had been made.

I woke up a few hours later and looked around the room, it was empty. I didn't know if that was a good thing or a bad thing; either the arguing had stopped or they had taken the arguing somewhere else, whichever way I didn't care. I slowly stood up and stretched my tight feeling body. I was getting too pregnant to sleep on a couch for much longer. I went to the downstairs bathroom to use the toilet and wash up a little, then I made my way into the kitchen to make myself something to eat. I was shocked by what I saw.

Peter, Charlotte, Emmett, Jasper, Rosalie and Edward were all in one way or another preparing my meal under the amused supervision of Alice and Esme. It was only when I looked at Esme and realised that she was talking to me that I remembered I still had my shield up; that was why I hadn't heard them all in the kitchen.

"Sorry Esme I still had my shield up." I told her. "What did you say?"

"I just asked if you had a pleasant nap?" she asked smiling.

"Yeah thanks." I could not stop my eyes from keep drifting over to the vampires that were cooking. I couldn't help but be amused at the looks of pure disgust on their faces. "What's going on over there?" I asked Esme.

"Well once you had gone to sleep everyone felt bad for what they did and how they made you feel." Esme explained.

"So they all decided to cook you a nice meal!" Alice chimed in excitedly. "But the best part is that Esme has told them as a punishment for their insensitive arguing they are not allowed to talk unless it's to ask Esme instructions." Alice let out a giggle as she explained.

"Oh right. Well no one needed to bother; I could have easily made myself something." I told them.

"Nonsense dear, now have a seat it should be nearly ready." Esme told me. "Jasper stir the gravy a little less aggressively please, it's starting to splash out!" I took my seat as Esme reprimanded Jasper for his gravy making skills.

Not long after I had taken a seat my food was served. It looked delicious! They had made me grilled chicken with mashed potatoes, green beans and broccoli, and of course gravy.

"Well lets all leave Bella to eat in peace." Esme told them all as she got up from her seat to exit the kitchen. "There is apple pie and ice cream for dessert when you've finished." Esme told me.

I quietly started eating my meal as I thought over everything that had happened this afternoon. It had started out as a good day shopping with Peter and Charlotte, and the t-shirts had gone down well. Of course though the stupid stubborn vampires ruined my day; as I was only human there's no way that I could have any opinion or choice. I was getting more annoyed and angry the more I thought about the whole incident. As I finished my meal Rosalie came into the kitchen and removed my used plate. As I sat there she plated up my desert and placed it in front of me. Surprising me she gave me a kiss on the cheek and a small smile before once again leaving me alone to my food and my thoughts.

Once again as soon as I had finished my plate was quickly whisked away, this time by Charlotte. She replaced my used plate with a glass of lemonade; it was just what I needed as it was very cool and refreshing. I got up from my seat and taking my drink made my way back into the living room. All the family minus Carlisle were sat in the living room waiting for me.

"Where is Carlisle?" I asked as I took my seat once again in the armchair.

"He is on the phone working out some cover for his shifts for the next week or so." Esme told me.

"Then we will wait for him before I say what needs to be said." I told the room; everyone nodded. It was about 10 minutes later that Carlisle joined us and took a seat next to Esme.

"Right well now everyone is all here I will start." I told them. "I would like to warn you that if anything like earlier happens again I am leaving!"

"No Bella you can't!" Alice shouted.

"I can and I will!" I told her. "I will not just sit here and put up with other people deciding for me. Did any of you even think about asking me what I wanted to do? What I thought should happen? Did any of you even remember I now have a gift that could be useful in this situation? Did anyone even remember I was in the room?" I was getting angry again. "So yes Alice I will leave!"

Everyone nodded in understanding.

"Now seen as you all had your say on what your thoughts are on what should be done, I am going to TELL you what will happen!" I looked directly at Edward first. "I will NOT be running and hiding. I already know that no matter where I go she will eventually find me so there's no point." I then turned and looked at Jasper and Charlotte. "And no one will be going anywhere. Use those military brains for just one moment and then explain to me where it makes any practical sense to split up the family into smaller numbers or meet her in unfamiliar territory?" I gave them each a pointed look. I then turned to Peter and Emmett and especially staring Emmett down "As for you two, grow up! This isn't a game! This is my life and the lives of your unborn niece and nephew!" I told them. "The moment you think this is a game and think it will be fun to fight Victoria and her newborn army is the moment you sign one of our death warrants!"

The room went eerily still and quiet.

"Bella what did you just say?" Jasper asked; I noticed that although everyone had gone tense, he was the worst; his question was almost a growl.

"I NEVER KNEW SHE HAD A NEWBORN ARMY WITH HER!" Peter suddenly shouted very aggressively.

"You said you knew everything!" I told him startled by his reaction.

"I knew about Tricky Vicky and about your pregnancy and the problems you will have with the birth! YOU NEVER MENTIONED NEWBORNS!" Peter began shouting again. The constant low growling in the room that I had not paid a lot of attention to suddenly got a lot louder once Peter shouted at me again.

"I think it would be best if everyone just calmed down!" Carlisle announced sounding very stressed. "And Bella I think now is the time that you tell us everything you know about Victoria and her army."

I gulped I had never heard Carlisle sound so scary... so like a vampire! I had a feeling he was going to be worse once he knew everything. And he was the calm one! For the first time ever I was actually a little fearful to be mortal in a room with nine very angry vampires; even if they were my family!
