Takes place two days after the last chapter and Leah is awake and well in this one. I will say right now this will end with a cliffhanger, to add up more for the next chapter.
I don't own Twilight.
Enjoy!
Tony's P.O.V.:
Nursery:
I was in the nursery with the kids alone for the first time in a while; everyone else had gone off to do their own thing while I was alone for some quiet time with my children. Sue and Seth were going to go home soon, since Seth still had a year left in school and would start back next month, Jacob and the Cullens wanted to stay around a little longer before going to Alaska, and my dad, well he was either feeding right now or discussing what to do about the Romanians with the others.
Either way some quiet was nice, at least it would be whenever Leah wakes up. I couldn't wait for her to see the babies, each one of them looked about a month old after being only four days old. I wanted things to be calm when Leah woke, because I knew once she saw our children she wouldn't leave them alone no how no way.
"Your mommy will be here soon baby." I whispered to little Aurelia, because even if she resembled my mother and me she would definitely be a momma's girl, and Dominick would be a momma's boy. Cyrus on the other hand could go either way, he was just a happy baby.
I was so caught up at staring at the babies I didn't hear the door open.
"Tony?" the scent of fresh tangerine and citrus caught my nose, turning around I saw my beautiful mate freshly cleaned and showered, glowing and looking as if she hadn't given birth just four days ago.
"Hey baby." I went over and kissed her softly. She tasted sweeter than ever, even if she'd brushed her teeth with mint. "Feel alright?" she smiled.
"Feeling much better, where is everyone?"
"They gave me some privacy with the babies, plus I figured you'd wake soon so you could see them." She smiled again and walked over to Cyrus' cradle.
"Cyrus…hey sweetie." Cyrus slowly woke and when he saw Leah's smiling face his smile was just as wide. I watched as Leah lifted him from the cradle and held him in her arms gently rocking him. He was now a momma's boy, and his cooing was stirring Aurelia awake; I walked over and lifted her up, letting her get a good view of Leah.
"Aurelia wants her mommy." I said.
"But I can't put this one down." Leah laughed at me and I could see why. Aurelia was reaching towards my ponytail and giggling. Leah looked over at Dominick and he was snoring lightly, just like her. "Why's he still sleeping?"
"Leah love, I should tell you that while you were resting Aro and Carlisle found out that Aurelia and Dominick have psychic powers." She turned to me. "Aurelia can read auras, and like Jasper she can sense emotions in the auras even personality traits."
"But vampires don't have auras, do they?" I nodded.
"In some cases, either way this little princess would be like a little lie detector of sorts." I turned to little Dominick, still snoozing. "He on the other hand has Mental Projection." She looked at me like I was crazy. "It's a power that allows your spirit to leave your body and you can travel wherever in seconds or minutes, but your body stays in one place. Aro found that out when he read his thoughts."
"What did he see?" I smiled and used my free hand to stroke her cheek.
"He was watching you sleep, and his grandmother and uncle. He was curious to meet his family." she smiled down at him, and leaned into me. "Aro and Carlisle both agreed he'll probably sleep most of the time, but when he's hungry he'll wake up."
"What have they eaten?" she looked at me worried.
"We gave them animal blood, they liked it and we tried human food but like Renesmee they prefer blood." She sighed heavily. "They're not picky either."
"Good." She smiled again. "I want my kids to be the best they can, even if they're half immortal I want the best for them."
"So do I, Leah just to clear it up they will grow quickly, but slower than Renesmee did because from what Bella told me and what I remember Renesmee looked almost two months old when she awakened from her change. These on the other hand only look a month old after four days, Carlisle said they will slowly grow, but not as slow as a human would."
"I guess that makes sense." Leah looked back at Dominick and stroked his little cheek with her finger. "Tony…while I was sleeping…I had a dream."
"What dream love? A nightmare?"
"No, just a strange dream; it was in Forks, we were just out and about with the kids playing with mom and Seth, you and I were together and…well…"
"Well what?"
"I wasn't human." She turned to me. "I was like you, lighter skin…gold eyes, and I was sparkling in the sun." that was strange. "But it's just a dream right?"
"Yeah…it's just a dream." I had been thinking about that as well, I knew that despite Leah's human appearance she would slowly age and look younger than most women her age, but it worried me that I would lose her someday. If there was a chance she could become a vampire I was willing to find out.
"He's waking up." She pointed to Dominick and his eyes were opening slowly. "Hi Dominick, hi baby boy." She let him grip her finger and he cooed.
"He's just like you." I kissed her cheek.
"Because he sleeps a lot?"
"No, because he's got your looks and personality." I hugged her with my free arm and I could hear Aurelia gurgle happily. "She feels the love." We looked down at our daughter.
"She's beautiful." Leah kissed my nose. "Just like you." I couldn't imagine anything better, than being here right now with my beautiful wife and our three gorgeous children.
"Antonius." I turned to see Alec in the doorway. "Aro wants to see you and Leah soon." Behind him were Bella and Sue.
"Leah you're awake." Sue hugged us both and kissed the babies' heads.
"Hey mom, Bella."
"Glad to see mommy's up." Bella smiled and I saw Sue lift Dominick up from his cradle.
"There's my grandbabies." She smiled. "Aro really needs to see you two, says it's important." I sighed and handed Aurelia to Bella getting a protest from my little girl.
"It's ok sweetie, daddy will be back in a little bit." I kissed her and she calmed down. Leah gave Cyrus to Sue and we left following Alec to the throne room; Aro, Caius, and Dad were there along with Demetri, Felix, Jane, Carlisle, Jasper, Emmett, and Edward.
"Good to see you awake there Leah." Carlisle smiled.
"Thank you." I held Leah's hand in mine, hoping this wasn't anything bad.
"What's this about?" Aro turned to Carlisle, then back to me.
"We've been checking up on the Romanians, they've deserted their home." I stiffened with Leah's hand in mine still. "Demetri and Edward have traced the place, and it's possible they may act any time now."
"Have there been any disappearances?" He nodded.
"Small ones in big areas, but not too much; we do have reason to suspect they're forming an army."
"Has Alice seen anything?" Leah.
"Nothing out of the ordinary just yet, but she agrees with me."
"We may have to move you and children to the tower with Sulpicia and Athenodora." Caius sighed.
"I'm not staying locked up in one area." Leah and her bluntness still intact.
"It's only temporary Leah, at least until we can catch the Romanians and dispose of them. It shouldn't take too long." Dad walked forward. "We need to be sure all of you are safe."
"I know…but I can help." I touched her shoulder.
"Leah you need to stay with the children, I will too but I'll come out if I'm needed." She turned around and wrapped her arms tightly around my neck.
"No, I can't risk losing you." She sounded as if she were about to sob. I glanced over at Edward and he looked befuddled as well.
"It's the imprint, if the imprint is gone too far or too long then their mate will be in pain until they return."
"I know about that but…" 'What if something happens to me?' I didn't want Leah to hear that.
"If the imprint dies, so does their mate, that or the mate stays in pain forever more until their time." Now I was afraid, I couldn't lose Leah and she couldn't lose me, we needed to be here with our children. I held Leah tight to me and lifted her head to meet my eyes.
"We'll stay together." I held onto her and buried my nose into her neck.
"Son, I know this will be difficult but it's for your safety and Leah's." I looked up at my father and nodded. Leah held on tight, so I picked her up and Aro nodded to let us leave; I carried her back to our bedroom, knowing Sue and Bella would still be with the kids so I could comfort my wife.
"Leah…shhh baby it's alright." I set her down on the bed and stroked her hair while she snuggled in my arms. "Nothing's going to happen, we'll be alright." She looked up at me with tearful eyes, whether this was due to the aftermath of the pregnancy or her real emotions it still broke my heart to see her this way.
"I don't want to lose you Tony, I'll die if I do." I kissed her lips, and she started to slowly relax. I moved my kisses across her face and down to her neck, feeling her heartbeat pound faster in her chest I put my hands on her hips and moved them to meet mine. "Tony…" she whimpered and I could smell her arousal.
"It'll be alright love, it'll be alright." I started kissing down from her chin and slowly moved her shirt off her body and then her skirt revealing only her black bra and underwear.
"Tony we can't…" I leaned up and kissed her.
"Yes we can." I kissed her chin.
"But the babies…"
"The babies will be fine, for a little bit. Let me show you, how much I love and care for you." I wanted to reassure her of the affection I had for her, even after she had our children I still loved her more than anything. She nodded and laid back as I started removing my own clothes, when I was completely naked I leaned down to kiss her again while my hands started slowly massaging her breasts.
She moaned so loud at the touch it was making my own sex harden. I removed the bra and started to suck on her nipples making her hands lace into my hair and I moved from one to the other to add up the arousal as my free hand went down and removed her panties.
"Tony?" she looked unsure, I wanted this as much as she did but I had to be careful. I smiled as two of my fingers entered her making her face flush and she started panting my name.
"Leah…so beautiful…" I prepared her carefully before situating myself over her.
"Tony…do it." I obliged as I slowly pushed into her; her mouth dropped open and her eyes closed as she moaned. I had missed this, missed the bonding between us as mates, and now as I was in it I felt my love radiate all over our bodies.
"Leah…Leah…" I chanted her name with each thrust and she returned the favor as her legs wrapped around my waist and her arms around my neck. I attacked her neck with kisses and she moaned lowly for me, making my pleasure increase with great intensity.
"Tony…Antonius!" she came soon and I followed after.
"Leah!" I spilled deep inside her. She rolled me off her and panted as we both tried to catch our breath, though I didn't really need it. "Are you alright love?" I stroked her cheek.
"Yeah…I'm fine…." She smiled at me.
"Need another shower?" she smacked my head.
"No but you do."
"Hey!" she laughed and pushed me off the bed.
"I'm going to change, you get a shower." I grabbed a clean set of clothes and made my way into the bathroom. The shower was on in seconds and I jumped in as the temperature rose slightly and washed the smell of sex off me.
'I love that woman.'
Meanwhile:
"How many does that make now?" Vladimir and Stefan took shelter in the deep parts of Rome after leaving Romania again. They had already created twenty six newborns, more than enough to phase the Volturi until they carried out their plans.
"Over twenty I think, that enough?"
"Just enough to cause a distraction, and then we grab our target."
"I think you mean targets?" Vladimir shook his and chuckled.
"Change of plans, it'll be worse for the other if the mate dies; it definitely did it for Marcus." Stefan laughed remembering the pain their first plan had caused the apathetic vampire king. "Too bad about poor Nicias and Markel, they should've kept the story a secret."
"Not their fault the kid found out."
"Even so, it's high time we repaid them for the loss of our much needed revenge at the time."
"When do we begin?" Vladimir scratched his chin and smiled evilly.
"Tomorrow night, the newborns will be ready by then."
"Make sure they're fed well, don't exactly want to hurt little Renesmee." Vladimir chuckled again, knowing Stefan sort of liked the little hybrid but she wasn't a problem if she stayed out of the way.
"Very well, go check on them." Stefan nodded and left the area, leaving his partner to ponder his thoughts.
Next one comes along with the kidnapping and a small change of plans in the fic for one of our main characters.
Don't worry it's not the babies they're after as I think you know.
R&R
Later!
