"Wake up girl! Wake, up!"
I cracked my eyes open to see Noell bouncing in place already dressed. Carlisle was gone. Which was bad luck at this very moment. It already sounded like it was going to be a long day. Especially with the way Noell kept bouncing in place.
"Still tired. It's still dark outside." I said yawning and turning my face back into my pillow.
"I know! We need to get ready! And the only reason I got away with waking you up is because Carlisle's hunting with the guys and Alice said I could wake you up. Oh and Jessica needed her with Kari and Noah." The words came at super speed, she was talking and trying to take the blankets off me. I made a mental note to keep all coffee away from her till at least 7 every morning.
"Carlisle… gone… hunting… that sounds like I can sleep longer. Last time she woke me up early, I had a head ache." I said grabbing my pillow, and putting it over my head.
"Come on Belle!" she urged, tugging at my comforter.
"No… it's still dark Noell." I mumbled.
Suddenly there was a tapping at the window. It sounded impatient. I closed my eyes and tried to go back to sleep.
The tapping continued for a few more seconds. "Get it." I said yawning again.
"Who is it?" she called. No answer. Instead there was more tapping.
She went over and opened it. I heard three thuds and a huge thump as whoever it was came in.
"Noell were you trying to wake Ma up?" Emmett asked.
"Yeah, why?" I felt someone else trying to take the pillow off my head. I held it tightly as they pulled at it.
"I swear if you try that again I'll get Seth to throw a water balloon at you Noell!" I said.
With surprising force, she pulled the pillow off my head and set it aside. I heard her laughing and then the comforter was pulled away. The cold air hit me and I squeaked as it hit me.
"You wouldn't really have Seth do that to me, would you?" It was Carlisle, with that sexy smirk of his. I shook my head. "That's what I thought." he said giving me my pillow back. I put it under my head and dropped off again.
But not for long. It was literally a minute later when I felt someone land on my side.
"Ow! Seriously? Stop."
I heard Carlisle laughing softly as he took whoever that was off of me. I opened my eyes and saw Angel in his arms an adorable smile on his face.
"Up!" he shrieked.
Over the past month they had developed quite a vocabulary. And they had begun to walk. They were the size of one year olds now. Their vocabulary seemed to expand with their physical appearance.
"Come here." I said taking him from Carlisle and giving him a kiss on the cheek. He squealed and hugged me tightly.
I got up then and handed him back to Carlisle.
"Cawile, go!" he urged. Carlisle threw him into the air and caught him. He squealed delightedly as Carlisle did so.
I dressed in a light pink sweater over a white blouse and dark leggings. I put on some comfortable but fashionable shoes, so Alice wouldn't kill me. I pulled my hair back in a braid and went downstairs.
I had pancakes and coffee with the wolves and Noell and we all left an hour later.
Once again, Alice outdid herself and rented two limousines to accommodate everyone.
"So guys, I'll be flying your plane today." Emmett announced.
"What?" Noell asked, looking absolutely surprised by this piece of news.
"Yeah, I got my pilot stuff together. I'm a certified pilot. So I'm flying us to Italy. Surprise!" Emmett was pleased with himself. You could just see it in the way he talked and how his eyes danced with excitement.
"Oh no! We're all gonna die!" Seth said pretending to panic.
We all laughed. Behind us in the other limo was Jess, Jake Ness and the kids with Char, Kate, Garrett and Peter. Carmen and Eleazar rode with us.
When we arrived at the airport we unloaded all our bags and Emmett and Carlisle took care of the plane. I was surprised. We were taking our own plane. When I saw it I smiled. In white letters on the right side it said, "Air Volturi
"Sweet! Let's go!" Seth said excitedly taking Kari with him.
Jess carried her son. I helped with the smaller bags and I boarded a few minutes later.
We were in the air half an hour later. The plane even had suites in it. And a full sized bathroom. It was awesome! The plane was also stocked with food. A note that was attached to the stove read: For our friends, the wolves. Eat well and see you in Italy. Yours truly, Aro, Caius and Marcus Volturi.
And they enjoyed indeed. We would land on the roof of their palace in ten or so hours.
I enjoyed my time with Carlisle. No homework got in the way. Noell and I had crammed and studied for the last two weeks, and even took our bio and anatomy midterms.
Cameron and Emali knew she lived with us now, and still told her they were sorry about her parents. Thanks to Jasper, she was way better now. She was literally herself again. Though there were those few occasions where she'd get quiet but we knew it was normal.
"Remember our first trip to Italy?" Bella asked.
"Yeah, I do." Jasper said grinning.
"I spy was such a failure on Emmett's part, remember Belle?" Jake asked me before erupting into laughter.
"Oh yeah, I spy something black and it was you because of your last name!" Nessie laughing too.
"I liked the little hotel we stayed at." I said.
"They closed it down, the owner passed away a couple of weeks after we left." Alice said.
"Aro should claim it and like turn it into a vampire inn." Char joked.
"I think he should. It would be exclusively just for us, of course. And extended family." Kate said excitedly.
"Now ladies, don't get too carried away." I smiled.
"But Belle you've got to admit that it's a great idea!" Carmen said.
"It is, but we still have to remember that you haven't talked with Aro. What if he already has it under his name but he just hasn't told us?"
"Good point my dear!" Char said patting my shoulder.
"Ladies and gentlemen, sorry for this announcement five hours into our flight. But welcome aboard Air Volturi. We strive to make your flight as comfortable as possible. You're welcome to use any and all the items on this plane as much as you like. We have Jasper as your loving and caring janitor, so if there's an accident, call Jasper Hale. For fashion mishaps we have the pixie girl Alice Cullen with all her fashionista glory. Trust me, I know she's prepared, she's got quite the luggage. For any and all medical emergencies we have two doctors on board. Those are Doctor Cullen and… Doctor Cullen. Edward and Carlisle, respectively."
"Emmet I am not, nor will I ever be your janitor." Jasper said interrupting Emmett's long overdo introductions.
"You are on my plane Hale. Now let me finish my fabulous and well thought out announcement. Now as I was saying, if you have any medical emergencies see Doctor and Doctor Cullen. We also have a small but great library on board courtesy of Doctor Edward Cullen's wife Isabella Cullen. So if you're looking for any and all things to read see Bella and she will select the best option for you!"
"And of course we have your babysitters, Char, Kate and Rosalie. Rosalie is the head of this operation. For any and all things having to do with babies, and babysitting see her. And lastly, for great people to talk to about quite literally anything, I highly recommend talking to Nessie, Jake Seth Leah and my favoritest Mom in the whole entire universe, Annabelle. Those lovely people will give you advice on anything and everything. Also, Annabelle and Nessie know a thing or twenty about medical situations, so if Doctor and Doctor Cullen aren't available, which will most likely not be the case, see them. As always, thanks again for choosing Air Volturi as your means of transportation. Please enjoy your flight, and remember, I love all of you. This is your best friend and awesome and amazing pilot, Emmett Cullen, signing off with a last minute realization! I don't have a co pilot! If you think you can help out in this cockpit, get your butt here now! Have a wonderful day."
I was laughing so hard I was beginning to cry. Noell was too. As a matter of fact, we all were. Jasper stood.
"I'd better get in there, we wouldn't want him landing us in the middle of nowhere now would we?" We all laughed and he went to help Emmett, not that he needed any. He just wanted someone to keep him company.
I dosed off for a while. Jake had crashed out for a bit, too. It was nice having a plane for just us.
When we were close to our destination Noell yanked me out of my seat and dragged me to our bathroom. She closed the door and leaned against it.
"Belle?"
"Yes?"
"I pulled you in here because one, you're a girl, and two, Nessie was busy. Oh, and three, if I told your boyfriend or your brother in law about this, I would feel absolutely positively awkward." I chuckled. "Uh… Noell?"
"Yeah?" she answered, pressing her hand to her stomach.
"Please tell me someone told you about their super hearing?"
She gasped her eyes wide. "They have that too?"
"Mmm hmm."
"How good is their hearing?" she asked.
"So good that I know that Carlisle and Edward can hear you as clear as day."
"So you're saying…?"
"That even if you're telling me directly of your situation, they'll still know."
"Oh darn it! Well fine, I forgot my… um… thing… started this month. I mean I know it starts every month. I meant today."
"Oh so you need…" she cut me off.
"Yes, that."
"You don't have to feel awkward." I said pulling open one of the cabinets under the sink. "They've dealt with this numbers times, Edward with Bella and his daughter and Carlisle with me. You don't have to worry about it." She smiled sheepishly at me and took the box of tampons from me.
"You're the best."
"I'm glad I could help." I said stepping outside. Nessie looked over and grinned. "She okay?"
"She is now." I said going over to one of the bags Alice had put on a row of empty seats. I opened it and searched through the bandages, and all sorts of other medical supplies. I pulled the bottle out and just as I did, my finger got caught between two boxes. The corner caught on my finger and I felt a sharp pain.
I pulled it out and saw a drop of blood.
"Ugh, really?" I groaned. I stuck my finger in my mouth and put the bottle under my arm. I grabbed a bandage closed the bag and went back toward the bathroom. Carlisle stopped me.
"Let me see."
"No, no, it just needs a bandage, really." He tugged on my hand and I gave up.
Blood still stained my finger. He took the bandage from me and walked away. I started after him but then remember the bottle. I ran to the bathroom.
"Here. I thought you might need some."
"Oh you are such a life saver. Midol is my best friend. Thanks."
"Yeah. no problem." I said walking out again.
Carlisle sprayed disinfectant on my finger and told me it wasn't serious. Igrinned when the bandage was rapped around it.
"Ah hah! Olaf!" I said.
"You're welcome!" Alice called from the seat behind the cockpit.
"Thank you doctor." I said as I sat down again reclining my seat.
"Want a lollipop with that?" Carlisle teased.
"Well there is a certain kind that I want…" I said trailing off and I winked at him.
He got the message.
"You dirty person you!" Nessie said poking me with her finger as she passed. I snickered and blushed.
"Thanks for putting me out there! Traitor!" I said kicking her.
"Oh anytime." she said grinning at me.
When we landed, the three kings were waiting. We all walked off the plane and greeted them.
"My little human how are you?" Caius rushed forward and hugged me tightly.
"Still in one piece. Hi Caius."
"I knew you would be." he said letting me go and I was engulfed in Aro's hug next.
"I am so delighted to see you my dear! How are things? I know I didn't reply to the last email, but I was distracted by this new development in the technology world! It's really quite fascinating!"
"It's alright Aro!" I said and I hugged Marcus.
"Hi Marcus! How's the book?"
"You my girl have got a knack for finding me great material to read. I have finished the third book in the series. I bought the movies for them today."
"That's great! I can't wait for you to see them!"
"I have to start them right away!" he said and then he turned and looked behind me.
I turned and saw Noell being introduced to Caius and Aro.
Marcus went over to introduce himself.
I went and found Nessie, who was surrounded by Jane and the other girls excitedly gushing over the kids. Alec had Noah on his shoulders and he was holding Kari.
"Hey Alec. You missed the twins I see!" I said grinning at my short friend.
"You know I did. They've grown!"
"I know. they've got teeth now."
"Do they?" he peered in to Kari's mouth and chuckled. "Ah! She does!"
Everyone was talking excitedly around me as I went around saying hi to everyone.
A warm hand touched my arm and I jumped.
"Annabelle, hi." i was startled and turned and saw Nahuel standing beside me.
"Nahuel, hi." I said politely stepping away.
Carlisle appeared at my side in an instant. I took his hand in mine.
"Hello Carlisle." Nahuel said to him.
"Hello." Carlisle replied.
"You look great." Nahuel said looking at me his eyes doing a full on body examination. I smiled at Carlisle.
"Carlisle where's Jess? I think she would love to meet Nahuel." I said and Carlisle smiled. "Ah, Nahuel come."
Nahuel followed as we went inside. Guards waved as we all filed in. I spotted Jess who was talking to Bella. She turned and saw me.
"Jess I want you to meet my friend Nahuel.. Nahuel this is my friend Jessica. She's mother to the twins Alec is carrying." I said stepping aside so that she could shake his hand.
I watched as they shook hands and then I saw it. their eyes locked for a long time and she smiled. "Nice to meet you." her cheeks were pink and she looked happy. Nahuel smiled back.
"Want a tour?" he asked.
"Sure." she said without thinking.
"I'll tell Alec to keep the babies occupied. Go have fun." I said smiling at them.
He took her by the arm and they were off.
Carlisle and I joined the others.
"You have made yet another match." Carlisle said to me.
"Yep. I should so get a job as one. I mean I got Mom and Phil to hook up, but that was an accident, because I had spilled a whole cup of starbucks on him. But I think Nahuel and Jess was so not my doing. I think it was meant to be."
"You are absolutely right."
"I know. Shall we go to our room?" I asked.
He nodded and we went, arm in arm, with two vampires carrying our bags following close behind.
