Chapter 13- Surprisingly good times (RPOV)

Of course it would be the most intimidating welcoming committee the Volturi could create: Jane, Alec, Demetri, and Felix. Pain, blindness, tracking, and muscle covered all of the bases to keep us in line. Please let JR have to touch someone to absorb their power, Jane's and Alec's powers were not something I wanted him to have.

Jane voiced a very cold welcome to us, before quickly leading us to the inner chamber to meet with the triumvirate. Demetri and Felix followed behind us, preventing our escape, not that any of us would have been stupid enough to try. When we were ushered in to a circular stone room I saw the objects of my hate sitting across the room. They sat on their thrones like the Kings they thought they were and my hate grew, what gave them the right to rule over all vampires. What I wouldn't give to knock them off their pedestal.

Aro stood and was halfway across the room in a matter of seconds before he welcomed us. I saw him look to me, then Jake, before finally settling on JR. I heard him say, "Hello young one. It is very nice to meet you," before he reached a translucent hand towards my son. No, he can't touch him, I won't allow it. Before I could react I felt a hand on my arm, I followed the hand to an arm and up to my father's face. He was pleading me with his eyes to stay where I was. I knew he was right in stopping me and I relaxed as I watched the scene in front of me unfold. Aro's hand had just reached my son's, and JR was gripping one of his fingers as Aro shook it up and down.

"Bella, you're not shielding him, are you my dear?"

"No Aro, I'm not."

"How interesting, I see he takes after his grandmother to a point then. I'm not able to see anything of his mind, just like when I met you Bella." JR released Aro's finger, sensing something from him, and Aro reached out to touch his cheek. "Such a sweet, good natured child," Aro mused as he made contact with the skin on JR's cheek. I heard a gasp from my father, and looked to see a very stunned expression on his face. He was seeing something in his head. I turned back to Jake and JR. My normally giggling little boy was now very serious, almost angry looking. OH NO! Not now. Not Here! However I knew it was too late when I heard the fabric of his tiny shirt and pants rip. SHIT, FUCK, NO! What is Aro going to do? Jake was now holding the cute little wolf cub that was JR when he was upset or angry. A cute little wolf cub that was snapping his little snout at Aro. I heard Jake chastise his son, not much that is going to do now Jake! But my fears over Aro were short lived when, even as JR took another snap at him, he started laughing. "Ah, and I see the Quileute DNA was increased with the vampire DNA. The boys of your tribe don't usually start phasing until their teens, right Jacob? Well, he looks like he will be a handful and keep all of you on your toes. He is adorable like this though." I heard Rose snort at that. Is she out of her mind? I had to admit though I found it odd that Aro found him adorable as a wolf. "As I said in my letter, I wanted to give you a chance for a vacation as well as have the opportunity to welcome JR to our world. I will admit, I was curious as to his power, I am relieved that he seems to only have an inaccessible mind and his tribal shape shifting ability. I'll have Jane show you to your rooms. Please relax, I promise you I, nor my brothers, have any ulterior motives. Edward, care to confirm for your family that my intentions are honorable?" My father nodded his head.

"He is just hoping we are able to have a wonderful vacation. He knows that we don't get enough time away from our human charade and wants us to take this opportunity to enjoy ourselves out of the public eye."

"So, would you please stay? At least for a few days and enjoy some time away from prying human eyes."

"Thank you Aro, we would be honored to stay my friend. It will give us a chance to catch up." My grandfather was always so formal in certain situation; it reminded me that he was a couple of centuries old.

"Most delightful! Jane, please show the Cullen's to their accommodations." Jane entered the room from the door we had been ushered through earlier.

"Yes Master. Please follow me." We exited the room behind Jane. We were efficiently shown to the most extravagant rooms I had ever seen, and I had stayed in some doozies in my time. Jake and I were the last shown to our room. "Master gave you two the only room with a separate sitting room and bedroom. Master also made sure there was a crib in the room for your son. Enjoy your stay."

"Thank you Jane," I answered politely, no need to provoke her. I did not want to be writhing on the floor in pain. She turned on her heel and promptly left the room. I looked around and felt like I was in a museum. The Volturi most certainly saw themselves as royalty and the room we were staying in proved that. The room looked like it had been copied out of some Italian castle. I knew without a doubt that the couches, settees, and chairs in the sitting area were 15th century originals. I walked to a corner where there was a beautiful carved wooden piece. As I got closer I realized what I had thought was an ornate table was really the crib for JR. I turned my son around in my arms and looked right in his eyes. "You will not phase and ruin this piece of furniture, do you understand me?" He just started giggling, and I knew he understood me. When I looked in the bedroom I tried to figure out how I was going to convince myself to sleep in the antique canopy bed. There was no way I was going to be comfortable sleeping or even sitting on these things. The items were priceless and I was terrified of breaking something.

About twenty minutes later I finally had settled onto one of the settees in the sitting area with JR. He was giggling and gurgling, I had a feeling he would be talking in only a couple of weeks. I was so relaxed I was starting to fall asleep when there was a knock on our door. As I started to get up Jake waved me off and opened the door. Standing in the hallway were my parents and my grandfather. Everyone came in and sat in the other couches and chairs the room offered.

"You look tired Ness, the jetlag is finally catching up with you. Please take a nap once we have finished speaking. We'll take JR and keep him busy." My father, always the overbearing vampire poppa, but I'll do as you ask. "Funny Ness and thank you."

"Edward was is this about? You all look so serious."

"Well Jake, we no longer have to worry about how JR copies other's powers. Our interaction with Aro solved the mystery. There was nothing when Aro was standing near him, or when he touched him the first time. However when Aro touched JR's cheek I saw every single thought that he had ever had. It really is an amazing power, the things that he has seen and thought over his couple thousand years is extraordinary. That's how I was truthfully able to say he really had no ill thoughts for us staying here right now. I've seen the discussions with Marcus and Caius. None of them wish us any harm right now. They had assumed, mostly with help from their new psychic, that he was going to have more powers than were shown today." My father looked right at JR before he continued. "Good Job today bud, you did exactly what we had talked about in the car. I'm proud of you Jarred Robert." JR was all smiles as he looked over at his grandfather.

"So we have nothing to worry about right now?" I was a bit leery of everything being perfect.

"For now."

My family left the room, taking JR with them. Jake and I looked at me and smiled. He walked over and lifted me from the settee before carrying me into the room. We both undressed and crawled into bed beneath the golden satin comforter. Jake pulled me into a spoon next to him. I was so warm and comfortable I fell asleep in my husband's loving embrace.

I was awoken a couple hours later by some soft kisses on my neck and shoulder. I looked over my shoulder right into the eyes of my beloved. He took the opportunity to kiss my lips.

I spun in his arms so I could easily look him in the eyes.

"Hi," I said. "How long have you been up?"

"A couple of minutes. I've told you I always liked watching you sleep." He had told me that, but I usually didn't catch him doing it. More often than not I fell asleep before him and he would watch me before sleep over took him. While I was thinking, Jake started kissing my neck again, moving from my ear towards my collarbone. He then started across it to the other side of my neck, where he headed up to my other ear. A soft moan escaped my lips and I felt him smile.

"Ness, you realize this is the first time we've been alone in weeks without having to worry about JR," Jake whispered into my ear before sucking on my earlobe. My only response was another moan. Jake took that as his cue and started running his arm up and down my one side, grazing the edge of my breast. I shivered from the pleasure he was evoking in me and my nipples hardened. Through my hooded eyes I saw his smile increase at the reaction his ministrations were getting from me. He grabbed my waist and turned so I was lying on top of him. I could immediately feel his arousal against my stomach, since we had both stripped naked before crawling in bed earlier.

Jake started kissing me again. These kisses were more passionate than before, and I reacted in kind. I sucked his bottom lip into my mouth and slid my tongue along it. He opened his mouth and I took the invitation to have our tongues dance together. His hands had started to roam now and I could feel his feather light touches moving down my back. When he reached my ass he grabbed it in both hands and squeezed, eliciting a purr from me that his mouth quickly took in. I felt his one hand move back up and in-between to tease my nipple while the other remained locked on my backside. When his thumb flicked my nipple I broke our kiss with a loud hiss.

"Jake, I need you…inside me…now!" I knew he could feel how wet I already was for him when I ground my hips into his. He returned my earlier hiss with a growl of his own. I saw him reach over onto the bedside table and grab something I hadn't noticed there earlier. I realized it was a condom. I looked at him quizzically.

"I love JR, but I would like a little time between your pregnancies. I want some time to enjoy our new family before adding to it." I just shook my head yes. He rolled us over so I was on my back before sitting up to roll the condom down his hard length. Once it was on I grabbed him and pulled him to me again. I captured his mouth with mine, feeling like I could devour him whole. While our mouths fought with each other, he plunged into me, completely filling me. He just sat there for a moment allowing us to feel the wholeness of being one. Then he started to move. I broke our kiss, panting for air. Jake was trying to be sweet and move slowly, drawing out our pleasure, but right now, that wasn't what I wanted. I raked my nails down his chest, receiving another growl from him. I started bucking my hips up harder and faster, trying to urge him on. Instead he laid a hand on my hips, holding me down.

"Please Jake. Harder! Please!" I begged. I would get what I wanted since I knew he could never deny my pleas. I was right. He released my hip and started plunging into me at a faster rate, going in as far as my body would allow him. I felt my pleasure building, as Jake hit my sweet spot. As he continued to pound into me I felt his hand go to where we were connected. He rubbed his thumb into my clit, pushing me over the edge in a matter of seconds. I felt my muscles clench around him, and I screamed his name. He continued to plunge into me while I rode out my orgasm. As I was finally coming down from my high, I felt Jake tense then cry out my name. It was the strangest sensation to not feel his orgasm spill into me. He collapsed on top of me, both of us panting, trying to catch our breaths. Jake finally pushed himself up and pulled out of me. I watched him stand and head towards the bathroom. I quickly jumped up and followed him.

Once there I pulled Jake into the shower. He took special care soaping up my body, and I did the same to him. We dressed in warm weather clothes. I was excited to be out of the dreariness of Forks, even if it meant being in Volterra. We found JR in my parent's room, surrounded by my family members. Alice came bounding over to me right as we walked in the door.

"You will never guess what he did. Rose wanted to barge in and wake you, I told her to leave you alone unless she wanted to see more of Jake than she would probably like."

"Yuck, Aunt Alice. Is nothing sacred in this family? Why did Rose want to wake us? What did JR do?"

"HE ROLLED OVER!" My entire family screamed at once. I missed one of my son's first milestones? I am not sleeping any more unless he is sleeping first.

"Watch he loves doing it now. JR, show mommy and daddy what you can do." Emmett was the one putting my son on his back in the middle of the room. As soon as Em stepped away from him, JR flipped onto his belly. Wow, that was just amazing.

"Just wait Ness. He'll flip back too." My dad pointed out to me. Just as he finished telling me JR was on his back once again.

"So, do you think the Volturi have stuff to baby proof this place with? I have a feeling JR is going to be crawling soon." Rose had a point. If he started crawling here, it would take all 10 of us to keep him out of trouble.

"Probably not. When do you think they have ever had a baby in here? My guess is never. Did you happen to catch a glimpse of the crib they want JR to sleep in? I'm afraid of putting him in it because if he happens to phase he'll ruin what I'm sure is a priceless antique." I said rather harshly.

We sat around talking for a few more hours. JR fell asleep at some point but slept soundly in my mother's arms. I think she was enjoying having a baby around again. I know she always felt like she was robbed of the experience of raising a baby since I grew up so quickly. At least JR will age a bit more slowly. We discussed our plans for the next few days while we stayed in Volterra. My grandfather informed us that there was a large courtyard that was protected on three sides by the Volturi's home and the third by the wall to the city. We would all be able to lie out in the sun and enjoy the Tuscan weather. My father made sure to tell Jake and me some nice places to visit that were only a short drive from the town. He knew this was our first visit to Tuscany and he wanted to make the most of it. He explained Aro also wanted us to enjoy the area and had told them there would be a car, with driver, ready whenever we wanted to go sightseeing.

We spent our first full day lying around the courtyard on a couple of blankets. JR kept flipping himself back and forth, giggling like a crazy little man. The guys were having fun kicking around a vampire proofed soccer ball that the Volturi had provided. It was specially design for them. Apparently, the entire guard enjoyed a game of soccer every month. As the sun started to set Heidi came out with a message for the family.

"The masters would like for you to accompany them, and the rest of us, to the opera in two nights. Oh and Alice, Aro knows this means that you will want to go shopping for gowns for you and the girls. He has arranged for you to have a private flight out to Milan tomorrow, and do not take your credit cards, Aro is informing every designer in Milan that anything you want is to be billed to us. He has also arranged for a tailor to come visit the men here to fit them for new tuxedos."

"YAY! Thank you Heidi. That is just perfect. We would love to join them." Alice screamed at the gorgeous Volturi guard member. Of course she would love a trip to Milan, fashion capital of Italy. "Heidi, what are we seeing? I'd like to be able to pick out dresses that will enhance the show, not fight with it."

"We're seeing La Boehme." Alice just got even more excited and started clapping her hands. It was one of the few Italian operas I hadn't seen yet. I knew the story, thanks to Alice and my mother making me watch the movie RENT. The original Broadway musical was based on the opera, changed around a bit mainly to fit in with the modern society of the late 20th century. My aunt and mother had made me hate that movie, having to watch it over and over. They could sing every song in it, and would never sit through the movie without uttering the songs. Being forced to watch the movie had turned me off from seeing the opera it was based on. No getting out of this.

The next morning my aunts, grandmother, mother, and I boarded a private plane on a small runway just outside of Volterra. We were informed the flight would take about 30-45 minutes. This would give us plenty of time to shop. Alice literally pulled us out of the plane and into the waiting limo. The driver closed the door for us and got into the driver's seat. He turned around and addressed us.

"Signoras, I was given an agenda on where to take you today. The order of the visits is Armani, Prada, Gucci, Valentino, e Versace. I was informed that Signora Alice might have some other places she would like to visit."

"Sì, vorrei anche fermarsi a Cavalli e Fiorucci per abiti. Poi vorrei andare a noi Abate, Fendi, e Ferragamo per le scarpe e altri accessori."

"Naturalmente la signora Alice. Ci sarà ora il nostro cammino."
"Grazie."
"Sei il benvenuto, Signora."

Alice is so considerate. Even though the driver was speaking flawless English, she switched to Italian for him. That was one of the perks of being around so long, we all spoke multiple languages that

Armani didn't have much in the way of gowns for us. Alice only went into Prada for shoes, and they had a poor selection high heels, which made her leave quickly. The next boutique we hit was Gucci. We were met at the door by six employees who ushered us into a large, private room located in the back of the store. They already had a large collection of gowns pulled out for us. None of the gowns appealed to Mom, Grandma, Alice, or me; they were all a bit to abstract looking, not distinguished enough. Rose found a very flattering dress. It is silk jersey material, one shoulder gown, with a side flute. The fabric is a geometric pattern in multiple shades of purple, as well as tan and white. She looked stunning. Alice pulled out her cell phone and snapped a picture. She had told Heidi that as the gowns were found she would send a picture so our husband's tuxes would match what we were wearing. The dress was wrapped up and we were told it was being shipped over to the plane. We thanked the staff and headed out. The limo took us to Valentino.

As soon as I stepped in the store I felt more at home. This was more my style. Again we were met by what I could assume was most of the shop's staff and led to a private room. The staff started pulling off gowns they felt would look perfect on us and would complement, not outshine, our beauty. There were a few gowns that caught my eye, but nothing that made me want to jump up and down. Mom felt the same way. Alice and Grandma found their dresses though. Alice's is a silk chiffon, strapless gown. The fabric was pulled into a circular ruched knot just below the bust. It set off Alice's dark hair and pale skin beautifully. I snapped a picture with her phone to send to Heidi. While she changed out of the dress, Grandma put on hers. It is a strapless, cream colored chiffon gown. The fabric on the entire gown was pleated. On the bodice the pleats are vertical. The skirt is multiple tiered layers, with the pleats in a circular, vertical patter running from mid front around one hip to the mid back. There are five tiers to one hip, then six in on the opposite hip, before it repeats, down to the floor. Alice again snapped a picture and sent both pictures to Heidi. The dresses were wrapped up and we were told they would be on the plane waiting for us. The limo took us to Alice's two choices for dresses and they were not Mom and my style at all. We didn't even go into the shops, the window displays were enough to turn us around.

We finally arrived at what is probably my favorite Italian designer, Versace. I had always loved the designs from this house, even when I was still a little girl. My love for Versace started when Alice took me to Paris's Fashion Week when I was four years old, I looked like I was 10. The Versace runway show started and I was a goner. Alice had to lift me up and carry me from the room when the show was finished. When Alice told me that Gianni and Donatella were vampires, they were my new idols. Of course, Gianni supposedly died in 1997, eleven years before I was even born. Donatella's death was faked in 2036 when the plane she was traveling in crashed in the ocean. I however knew that both the Gi and D were still the creative minds behind every new line, they just used human figure heads for public events. In the boutique we were again greeted by an entourage of sales associates. When we entered the two other customers were quickly, but politely, shoved out the door which was then locked. Shades on the front windows and door were pulled. I saw one of the employees walk behind a counter and press what looked to be a call button. No sooner did she walk back around the counter a hidden door in the wall opened up. Out of the door walked my two idols. I knew I was smiling ear to ear.

"Buon pomeriggio famiglia Cullen. Alice, carissimi, è così bello vedere voi. Eventuali nuovi modelli per noi di prendere un picco a? Noi facciamo mancare il vostro abbigliamento." Good afternoon Cullen family. Alice, dear, it is so good to see you. Any new designs for us to take a peak at? We do miss your clothing. Gianni addresses us in his native Italian, he knows we all understand. Italian is one of the five languages the whole family knows, as well as Spanish, French, Latin, and Japanese.
"Forse mi verrà aperta una nuova casa al più presto. Mi è stato fatto a lungo e fare l'amore con lei concorrenti." Maybe I'll open a new house soon. I have been gone to long and I do love competing with you. This was news to me, Alice wanted to open a new design house? Sweet, I would get to model again. Maybe she could do a baby line that JR could model.
"La concorrenza è sempre divertente. Ness, si sono sviluppati. Lei sembra, più ampia, più femminile." The competition is always fun. Ness, you have grown. You seem, fuller, more womanly. D is always so observant.

"Sì D, ho avuto un bambino ragazzo a destra prima di Natale." Yes D, I had a baby boy right before Christmas.

"COSA!?! Come meravigliosa! Quindi, chi ancora ha bisogno di vestiti. Conoscere Alice è stato salvato il meglio per ultimo, ma sono sicuro che la maggior parte di voi hanno già trovato quello che volevi." What? How wonderful! So, who still needs dresses? Knowing Alice you saved the best for last, but I am sure most of you already have found what you wanted. I knew Gi would be excited to hear this, he loved children.
"Che sono Ness e Bella. Il tuo lavoro magia!" Ness and Bella are it. Work your magic! Thanks Alice, it's like mom and I are lost causes, ugh.

"Ness, Bella. You will look fantastico. Donnas." Gi snapped his fingers and pointed to Mom and me. The staff of 10 disappeared and were back in less than a minute with a dress in each hand. Half went to one side of the room, half to the other. "Bella, Donatella will be helping you over there. Ness, siete il mio, piccolo" Ness, you are mine, little one. Mom and I were dresses in different gowns. Gi kept commenting on how much nicer my new body was, that the dresses fit me better now. He halted at one point when I heard Donatella tell my mother that is the dress. I turned and looked at what my mother was wearing. She had on a black silk chiffon, deep "V" neck, halter dress. The front was a faux wrap with a ruched tie at the waist. The skirt was two tiered and swung gracefully when Mom walked. Alice snapped a picture. Just then I felt a tap on my shoulder, and turned to Gianni holding a gown. He was just smiling and I knew this is the dress he wanted me to wear. I did like the color and the material, lavender silk. I was taken out of the current dress I was wearing, a short black cocktail dress, and the lavender silk was draped over my head. The silk slid down my body. There was only one shoulder, and as Gi zipped me up, I had to admit it fit like a glove. It was ruched across the middle, and cinched at the left hip, then flowed to the floor.

"Perfecto Renesmee." Click. I guess this was my dress since Alice just snapped the photo. Ding. And sent it to Heidi.

"I love it Gi. Grazie!"

"Of course, piccolo, it is just you." We said our goodbyes to Gianni and Donatella. Gi told us the dresses would be on the plane, while we went shoe shopping. We quickly found heels that matched each dress. Heidi called while we were on our way for some jewelry and other accessories and informed us that Aro was going to give us access to the Volturi's jewelry collection. Since we didn't have to shop anymore, we asked the driver to take us back to the airport. We arrived back in Volterra in a little over an hour. When the car pulled up to the door it was opened for us. Heidi was there waiting for us.

"I hope you all enjoyed Milan. If you'll follow me, the tailor is here now working on the men's suits." Alice started jumping up and down clapping; I knew the possibility of not getting to dress the men of our family was killing her. It looked like she was getting that opportunity. We walked into what appeared to be a conference room. My grandfather, father, uncles, husband, even my son, were in varying stages of dress in suits and tuxedos. Every outfit had white chalk marks on it, and pins were sticking out of so many places they looked like pin cushions. The tailor finished quickly, and true to her word, each of their outfits matched our dresses. Jake and I took JR up to our room. We quickly put him to bed, and then crawled in bed ourselves. I was exhausted from the shopping and was soon fast asleep.

The following day was a blur. Alice was in just past dawn to whisk me away for a day of Renesmee Barbie. The Cullen women, along with Hiedi, Gianna, and the Volturi's new human secretary, Serena, all left for a day at the local spa. It seems that everyone associated with the Volturi were going tonight. Serena and I were doted on by the spa staff since everyone else just wanted to lie in the different mud and soothing baths offered. I inquired at one point why Jane, Athenodora, and Sulpicia weren't joining us. Heidi answered me.

"Well the mistresses don't like going out during the day at all. They are both very conscious of how they look, being as old as they are. Even though the humans here in Volterra would never question them, they don't feel beautiful in the day with their skin color anymore. Jane doesn't like pampering, she feels it is too human of an activity. I also think she doesn't feel women should act like this, she is very much stuck in her 18th century mind set as you will see by her dress later."

The morning was spent in the different treatments, pretty much alone. The afternoon we all came back together to have manicures, pedicures, and our hair and makeup done. Our dresses were described to the salon staff by either Alice or Heidi so our makeup and hair would match perfectly. Once back in the castle Volturi, as I started calling it, we were taken by Heidi into a huge vault. When the lights in the room were turned on I was astounded by the sights. The inside of the vault was the size of a ranch home, and other than two small aisles on either side of the room, it was covered in display cases housing more jewelry than I had ever seen. The cases stretched from floor to ceiling. This collection would rival the crown jewels of every monarchy in Europe; I think even combined they would come nowhere close to this collection.

"You can have your pick out of any of the items. The mistresses have already chosen their pieces for the evening. Go find what you want." We all looked at Alice who made quick work of them room, pointing at piece after piece for each of us. We all ended up with necklaces, earrings and rings that accentuated our outfits.

We were returned to our rooms. Alice had all of us come into her room to dress so she could approve of our appearances. She said the men were getting dressed in my parents' room and would meet us downstairs in time to leave.

We were dressed in no time at all and I heard a knock on the door. It was Heidi and Demetri to escort us downstairs. When we reached the foyer we had arrived in a few days before I was stunned speechless by the amount of bodies in the room. We were going to take up more than half the opera theater. I saw the rest of my family, all looking quite dashing in their suits and tuxes. The most dashing by far was my son, who looked beyond adorable in a tiny tux that matched his father's. The entire group was escorted out to waiting limos. We rode with Aro, Sulpicia, Caius, Athenodora, and Marcus. I noticed most of the guard getting into the limo behind ours, and immediately knew what Heidi had been talking about earlier. Jane was in a floor length long sleeved gown. The dress's collar came up her neck like a turtle neck shirt. The only skin exposed was that on her face as even her hands were covered by gloves.

I assumed correctly in that we would take up half of the theater. We were escorted with our hosts into one of the premier box seats. The rest of the high ranking guard sat in the two boxes behind ours, while the remainder of those that came with us took up some of the best regular seats in the house. Aro and his brothers were treated like gods by the opera house staff, and even the conductor acknowledge our box and waited for a nod from the triumvirate before beginning. Aro told us all to enjoy the show.

When La Boheme was over, I was surprised at how much I liked it. I was pleasantly surprised. I easily followed along with what was happening. The music was beautiful. I was happy we had decided to stay in Volterra for a few days after all. This was a great experience, seeing an Italian composer's opera in a small Italian opera house.

The rest of our time in Volterra was spent relaxing, and running after JR, as he did start crawling. It was amazing how quickly a week flew by. It seems our friendship with the Volturi was re-established and they no longer saw us as a threat. My grandfather decided it was time for us all to get back to our lives in Forks, be it work or school. After saying our goodbyes and climbing into the limo to make our way back to the airport, we were all stunned when Aro peeked his head in for one last comment.

"Thank you again for coming to see us Cullen family. It was nice to have you visit. One warning before you go," Oh no! What is this about? "We will be keeping an eye on you. If anything jeopardizes the secrets of our world, you will be hearing from us again." With that the door was closed and the limo pulled out, taking us to the plane that would take us home.
