This update I just want to give a shout out to all the veteran's that came back from war and those who didn't. I also want to give a shout out to all the women that have to live without their husbands because of war. Especially to those who have a child or children that they have to tell every day that their father was a hero. I just want to say stay proud and live life to the fullest. You never know exactly what is going to happen so just live it the best you can.
Also as a reminder for Memorial Day a good, but very depressing, song would be "Just a Dream" by Carrie Underwood.
Now I don't want anyone to feel like everything is hopeless in the world and there is no reason to live anymore. SO again I give a shout out to the veterans and the people that lost them.

Over a course of two days my anger at Aro faded to hopelessness. I didn't know what to feel anymore, why did he marry me? Was it because of my powers? Was I truly his mate? Why would he say that?
I didn't understand how everything would come crashing down on us like that. I was just married and now I have an impossible vampire child that from the look of it grew spectacularly fast.
In two days I looked like I was nearing the middle of my second trimester and the doctor said I was three months pregnant and now I looked about five months pregnant I knew I had to get out of Airini's and Aiden's way. The couple took me in happily and didn't ask many questions about my past. They did try to call a cruise ship I supposedly got shipwrecked from but their phone service was down and I feigned amnesia.
I decided today was the day I would leave. They would drive me deeper in the city where I would take a train to Wellington where they got me a job working full time at a restaurant. They even pitched in to buy me a small apartment.
"I'm going to miss you guys. I don't know where my baby and I would be without you two. Thank you so much."
"No dear, it was our pleasure. Bella remember to send word once in a while."
"Yes, we want to know about the baby. Don't forget us." I hugged them quickly and as I heard the last train whistles I took up my bag filled with some of Airini's clothes and some baby clothes that was supposed to go to her dead granddaughter.
Looking at them made me miss Charlie and René but I probably would have killed them with my power boost I got yearly.
I entered in my small furnished one bedroom/ one bathroom apartment and began to weep at my situation. I lost two loving families: The Cullen's and Charlie and René. And now after marrying someone I knew had some horrible tactics and views of people I was left alone like some common whore that got knocked up.
Aro would pay the next time I saw him. That much I knew.
I went to bed without eating anything. I wasn't hungry anyway.
I awoke to all the birds and a foul stench that swept throughout the clean New Zealand air, factories. I moved to the capital city. And now my baby would probably be inhaling this for the rest of his life.
I got ready quickly today would be my first day on the job.
I entered in the Boulcot Street Bistro. To see a short blonde woman yelling in rapid Maori to a worker. She looked strict and mean. I had doubts coming here.
She turned around and by the frightened look on her face she came up to me and began speaking in Maori. Of all the languages I know I wasn't fluent in Maori so I spoke in English.
"I'm sorry I don't speak Maori"
"Oh, sorry dear, my mistake. You sound Italian, why are you all the way in New Zealand" She looked sweet and calm now. She must be bipolar.
"Family Problems, I'm pregnant. And my husband hates me." She looked sympathetic, I glared back at her. I didn't want her pity.
"Well how long do you think you can work here?" I had no idea what to tell her. I knew I was growing rapidly but I had no money so if I said eight months would she give me the job?
"Eight months, but I would be willing to work a couple weeks after I have her."
She looked like she was contemplating my offer. I was scared, if I didn't get the job I would be out in an apartment that I couldn't afford so I would be stuck with a 3/4th vampire child and no food or even blood to give my baby.
"Well what about you work on a week-to –week basis. Meaning you come in weekly if one week you can't work fine. But this would only be for two months. The job you're getting is only temporary, the person who usually works this job, is on vacation for two months. So come in week-to week and just work. Is that okay with you?'
"Yes, perfect. How much would I be getting on a week to week basis?"
"Well regularly you would get a thousand every two weeks but as a week to week basis for two months how about I give you a hundred every day you come in. So about seven hundred a week."
"Oh that is great. Do I start today?"
"Yes, yes. Come around the back. "We walked around and I began to look around the beautiful restaurant. It was done traditional New Zealand style. I loved it, but I did miss Italy.
Thinking of Italy reminded me of Aro and what he said. My eyes began to tear up. But I refused to let them fall.
"So you will be working temporarily as a sous chef. This is a traditional New Zealand restaurant so not many exotic foods mostly New Zealand dishes. Are you okay with that?"
"It's not usually my style, I majored in Italian cooking. But I did take some European cuisine course. "
"Okay for today stick with, Aine. She will teach you the ropes"
For the rest of the day it was hectic. I haven't worked like this in a couple months now so I was rusty. Aine was a kind old lady. But when it came to making the different dishes she was harsh and strict with how it looked and the ingredients we used. O was fine with that.
When I finally went home it was dark and I was tired. The half human in me couldn't handle the pressure. I went to bed crying with my hand over my kicking baby and thoughts of Aro in my head.
Three weeks later
So far I looked exactly like a pregnant whale. I lasted longer than I thought was possible. My pregnancy was about a month. And I had barely enough money to last one more week. And today I decided it was time to move.
New Zealand had large forests filled with various animal life, so over the course of three weeks a built a small hut with only a living room, bathroom and kitchen. I had my baby's things ready and today I would be completely blown of the face of the earth. No one would be able to find me after this and I wouldn't resurface until I knew my baby was okay to be around humans. I was kind of shocked that the Cullen's didn't find me yet. There were only five countries closest to Australia and I was in the capital city of one of them.
I got my bags filled with my clothes, baby clothes and twenty one hundred dollars. I felt bad for skipping out on the rent but I had to save all the money I could.
When I came to my hut deep in the forest I was shocked to find the Cullen's and The Volturi inside waiting for me.
I looked towards the couch beside the bathroom door to see Aro looking at me with sad, sunken eyes.
My instincts came back to me and I did the only thing a person would do in that situation. I ran. I ran through the forest and just as I heard the waves of the New Zealand beach I was tackled and rolled. Through it all I made sure my baby didn't feel anything.
I looked up at my attacker to see Aro glaring at me. I used water to push him off me and I was about to run again but was surrounded by Cullen's. I began to cry.
I felt like I was being ripped apart. I couldn't hear or feel anything anymore.

A month ago when I had that meeting with Joham of the nomadic tribe, I don't know what came over me but all I knew was Isabella came back from shopping and her ring was thrown at my face.
She didn't look back as she ran out of the castle and ran out of my life. The Cullen's left with her and immediately I sent Demetri after them. I was lost I didn't know what to do so I sat at my throne and thought through everything I said.
AS I was thinking Marcus came up to me and grabbed my hands so I knew exactly what I said. I ripped my arm from his and he began to laugh.
"You should probably go over the guards powers again Aro. You don't want them to take over your mind do you?"
I tried to kill him then and there. In his mind I saw a woman named Ashlin a new guard member and her power was to make you say whatever she wanted. So she was one of the best manipulators but her power only worked for a couple minutes.
I wanted to kill her and I would but first things first and it was Isabella I made Felix get her and set her on fire I didn't want her to ruin any other plans.
A couple hours later and the Cullen's come to me saying they lost Isabella. They gave me the story and I had to growl at how everything turned out especially since we created the impossible, a child.
I didn't lose my head yet first I had to find her and see if she was okay. I didn't know the effect our baby had on her so I didn't even know if she was dead or alive. I begged for the latter.
We set for the five countries near Australia. I was searching through New Zealand when Edward found her.
It had been three weeks and I was having anxiety attacks every day, ignoring the fact that I was a vampire.
WE all stayed in the small hut that was coated in her scent and waited. She came in slowly and I wanted to cry at her appearance. Her eyes were sunken and sad. Her body looked fragile, and her stomach was enormous. I wanted to touch her stomach but I knew that would only scare her off. So I just watched her. She looked at me and when I finally got the nerve to touch her, she ran.
I was the one to chase after her and catch her. But the Cullen's were the ones that got her to stop and wait.
A second later a large screech came from her mouth. I took her up and ran to her hut deep in the forest. I didn't want the humans to find us.
I set her down on the small twin bed she had by the window in the living room. And watched as her stomach began to move. At first it appeared to be pushing through her stomach but her stomach was probably too strong for our child to break out because a minute later we heard as my baby pushed through her to complete a natural child birth. Through the whole process Isabella's mouth was open in a silent scream.
As soon as my child exited through her birth canal she looked as if the worst was over. Her pain left her and she looked perfectly fine. I watched in amazement as her belly began to sink down slowly in after-birth and all the scratches closed and her vagina closed up again. She looked exactly as she was before she was pregnant.
She took her baby from my hands and began cooing. I came up to her and she hissed at us. She looked like she was going to run with our child so I held her down.
"No, Isabella. Don't run from us. This is my child too. What I said in the throne room wasn't me. It was a guard that was under Marcus's rule. I killed her already. She controlled my mind. It wasn't me that said that. I love you and I don't think you are an abomination. I didn't even know who Joham was. When I came from under her control it was already too late. I'm so sorry."
She began to cry and I held her close as I tried to lie down with her on the tiny bed.
"I shouldn't have run. I'm so stupid."
"No, don't worry about that. It's in the past now. Let's worry about our child. Most importantly about his name."
"You should name him. I made you lose the ability to watch him grow in my stomach you should get the right to name him."
"Okay how about Justin Leo Volturi."
"Perfect." She leaned up to me and kissed me and I appeased her. I missed her lips. I missed her.
I kissed Justin's head and just held her as they both fell asleep.
I ordered Alec to get our flights ready, and Jane to get a box filled with donated human blood. She got it quicker than I expected and as soon as she came through the tiny hut door Isabella woke up and Justin wailed his arrival. I gave him a bag first and he sucked greedily. Isabella took the next one and she drank happily.
A couple hours later with the box of donated human blood finished I left holding onto my family.
Did everyone like the name? What should I do with Marcus? Who thinks they should have another child? R&R and tell me what you think should happen next.
