I opened my eyes and groaned at the light on the room. I blinked a couple times and my eyes adjusted to the light. I looked up and saw Edward sitting beside me on the bed. I moved to sit, and he helped me. I smiled in thanks and he gave me a glass of water. I drank it greedily, and noticed an IV on my left hand.

"Carlisle put it. Your were dehydrated" Edward said.

I nodded and gave him the empty glass. The room was big, painted in shades of red and brown, and the bed huge and comfortable. I looked at him and he watched me intently.

"What happened?" I asked.

"What do you remember?" he asked taking my hand.

"I remember Rose and Esme taking me from there when… There were werewolves…" I mumbled, "And the castle crumbled down"

"What else?" he asked.

"That's the last thing I remember"

"Well, we got you out of there, and the Volturi were destroyed. A few surrendered. Jasper is dealing with them"

"Okay" I mumbled and my eyes got wide. "Jake! Leah! Embry!"

"They are resting, don't worry. They will be fine"

"Oh, god. They hurt Jake, so much" I cried. "I could hear Leah's screams"

He hugged me as I cried and soothed me. When I was better he pulled back, and looked in my eyes.

"Bella, Leah… She's pregnant"

I gasped and I shook my head.

"Who?"

"It's not a vampire's. It was Jacob or Embry"

"Oh, god" I mumbled. "What did she say?"

"She's sleeping. She was very tired"

I nodded and he squeezed my hand. I looked at him, and he had his eyes closed, a deep frown. He swallowed hard, opening his mouth several times to speak, but only a couple minutes later he said something.

"Bella… Did they… Did you…" he let out a shaky breath. "Did someone touch you?"

I hesitated on answering and his body shook.

"I didn't let Carlisle test you. If you're preg…"

"No!" I said quickly. "No, they hurt me, but they didn't… do anything. Rose stopped it before it could happen"

He let out a relieved breath, and hugged me tightly. I hugged him back and he pulled back to pepper my face with kisses.

"I'm just so happy you're here, safe" he said happily.

"I am too" I said smiling.

The next couple days were incredible. We were in France, almost an hour from Paris, and Edward took me to every touristic places. His family was specially good to me, though I didn't want to. I was surprised with a friendship forming with Rosalie. She apologized for how she treated me, and started being nice to me. I got to meet a lot of the people who helped the Cullens get me out of Volterra. Werewolves, shape-shifters, vampires. It was incredible how they were peacefully around each other.

Carlisle, Jasper, Edward and other vampires talked frequently about what to do. The Volturi were eliminated, and though they wouldn't be missed, everyone agreed their work as rulers were necessary. Someone had to put some order on the world. While they discussed that with the werewolves, and shape-shifters too, I spent some time with Jake, Embry and Leah.

We found out it was Jake's baby. He regretted so much at first, he said he didn't even remembering doing it. But Leah was happy, and when Jake finally got the guts to face her we had other surprise. They imprinted. I was so happy for them. Especially for Jake, since I didn't know how to deal with his crush on me anymore. They were happy and Leah's belly seemed to grow every day. By the end of the week she had a small bump. Carlisle took care of her, and concluded the baby was growing as a shape-shifter.

After a few days, Jake and Edward asked me to phase, just to see if I still could do it. I didn't want to at first, it brought painful memories. But I understood they needed to know, and I needed to know too. It took a few minutes, concentration but I phased. I spent a couple days with Embry, Jake, and other shape-shifters phasing into different animals and trying to teach them how to do it.

After almost three weeks of discussions, Carlisle and Edward got a solution. They decided to form a Council, of vampires, werewolves and shape-shifters, and they would take the Volturi's place. Vampires, werewolves and shape-shifters went to search for others all around the world, financed by the Cullens of course. The objective was that every group of supernatural creatures existent sent a leader, and those leaders would form the Council.

But they were too much leaders. So, I suggested that the groups from each country discussed, and each country or area would have a leader, and of course, if in a country there was more than one species of supernatural creatures, than it would have a leader to each species. Peter, Jasper's friend was US's leader, and Carlisle would represent the vegetarian vampires. Jake was US's shape-shifters leader, and Eleazar Canada's. It was a new leading system. A democratic, and fair one. Esme gave the Cullen's house on France to be a meeting place, and was happy to have to buy a new one for the family.

We decided to stay in France a little more, since we all worried with Leah traveling around the world in her state. I called Charlie almost everyday. Apparently Alice had called him while I was in Volterra. Her lie almost killed my father. She told him Edward and I had eloped. We were now in out prolonged honeymoon with his family.

After only a month and a half of pregnancy, Leah gave birth to her baby boy. Alexander Samuel Black. She asked me to be the godmother, and I got to be the third to hold him after the baby's parents.

He had opened his eyes, and looked up at me. His little hand wrapped around my finger, and he made a cut noise, before giving me a baby smile.

"Hi" I said with tears in my eyes. "Hi, Alex. God, he looks just like you, Jake" I chuckled.

"Right" Leah chuckled weakly, she seemed so tired.

"Lee, sleep. I've got him" Jake said softly.

She nodded weakly and closed her eyes.

"Can I give him a bath?" I asked Jake.

"Yeah, I'm gonna call our parents" Jake said.

"Don't you wanna help me?"

"No. I'll help Leah when she gives him a bath. You've got this one" he smiled.

"Thanks"

I walked to the bathroom, with Esme and Edward right behind me, and Esme prepared a bath in the baby tub she bought. She watched as I began to bathe him, but then left saying she was sure I would do great. When I finished I put him above the fluffy towel over the changing table. As I dried him, I felt Edward right behind me.

"Isn't he cute?" I asked quietly while playing with Alex's little fingers.

"He is" Edward said and wrapped his arms around my waist, resting his chin on my shoulder.

I had to insist with Edward for him to help me dress Alex, he was afraid of hurting the baby. It was silly, but he feared his vampire side would do something. After hesitating he helped, me and Alex didn't seem to mind. In fact he seemed happy. I told Edward to stay with him for a moment, and I ran to the bedroom quietly to not wake Leah up. I got the camera, and came back to the bathroom, and took a picture of Edward playing with Alex's hands. He smiled at me, and I passed him the camera so I could hold Alex. Edward tried to take a picture but I didn't let him, I hated being in front of the camera and not behind. I went to the bedroom with Edward and we sat in the armchairs in the corner, I rocked Alex gently until he fell asleep, and we waited for Leah to wake up.

"I'm sorry" Edward said suddenly and I looked up at him. "I'm sorry I can't give you one"

"Edward" I said with a sad smile. "You've got it wrong. It's me that can't give you one. I could get pregnant but…"

"You would die" Edward said swallowing hard.

I nodded and looked at Alex sleeping.

"I would, you know" I said quietly. "Die for your baby. If it made you happy, and put in the world something so beautiful, I wouldn't mind"

Edward came to my side, crouched, and held my knees. I looked in his eyes and he shook his head, his eyes serious.

"No, Bella" he said. "Without you I can't be happy. Don't even speak about it"

"I won't. It's just a 'what if'. A hypothesis. It won't happen" I shrugged sadly.

He nodded, stood up, and kissed me softly, before sitting in the armchair's arm, watching me watch Alex.

AN: I know it's short. I have the idea on my mind but I can't write it down, it never seems good enough. Probably will take a while to post another chapter. Sorry :/
