Change of plans on the whole kidnapping thing, cuz I've been going back and forth on this forever trying to figure out what to do.

Sorry if this chapter is a bit short, but the real craze goes down in the next chapter.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Tony's P.O.V.:

Two days later:

A couple of days had gone by and still there was no sign of the newborn army or the Romanians in Italy. Demetri had led the group, including some of the Cullens into tracking everywhere but no one had found anything, even Alice couldn't see much because all she ever saw was an underground tunnel, and there were many of those in Italy from ancient times.

I had stayed close to Leah and the children since we moved into the tower, and as much as I liked hanging around my aunt and Athenodora I felt bad for Leah being caged up like this even with Corin watching us. She was with the babies every day, but she hardly had time to see Sue and Seth since they too were kept safely away in case anything would happen.

"Leah?" I walked into our room after letting Athenodora and Sulpicia play with the children, and I saw Leah looking out the window. "Sweetheart?" I walked up and held her from behind.

"Tony." She leaned back towards me a little. "Anything yet?"

"No, they're still looking." I kissed her cheek. "They'll find them, don't worry."

"It's hard not to." She sighed. "I wish we could help somehow."

"We have to protect each other and the children, that's all the help we'll need to give."

"I know, but I'd at least like to be out there."

"Relax love, come on you know I hate seeing you upset like this." I picked her up and set her on the bed. "It'll be alright, I promise." I rubbed her back and kissed her sweet lips, and it wasn't long before she drifted off to sleep. She needed to rest, more than I could think because she'd been up all night last night with the children; I covered her with a thin quilt and quietly left the room back to my aunt and Athenodora.

"How is she?" Athenodora was playing with Dominick, and while Cyrus was sleeping in his crib Sulpicia was playing with Aurelia.

"Sleeping right now, I got her to calm down." I sat down and Aurelia reached for me. "Come here baby girl." She crawled over to me, the kids were growing quick, but their motor skills were already kicking in even if they only looked about three months old.

"She's a daddy's baby." Dora smiled lifting Dominick into her lap.

"Indeed so."

"Listen Antonius, your uncle and father are doing all they can to track those cretins but I have a feeling that they won't be able to catch them unless something happens." I glared at her. "Now now don't get angry, I'm just saying that unless there's an attack somewhere and some humans vanish it's possible they won't be able to find them."

"Doesn't matter, they're not getting anywhere near me, Leah, or my kids." Aurelia was playing with my ponytail as I held her against my neck.

"That remind me though, Antonius do you know if any of the babies are venomous?" Sully rocked Cyrus's little crib.

"I don't know, they haven't bitten anyone since they were born; and they don't have teeth yet." I checked inside Aurelia's mouth and there wasn't even one tooth forming. Renesmee had teeth just days after she was born, but these babies were taking a bit longer.

"Just imagine when they do."

"Not yet." I laughed as Aurelia's little giggles got louder. "Don't you get any ideas missy."

"Yah!" she said.

"Hey she can talk." We laughed together and continued entertaining ourselves with the babies.

Downstairs:

Marcus' P.O.V.:

Demetri and the others were due to return soon, and hopefully this time they'd come back with something other than nothing. This had been going on for a few days now, and so far other than the small disappearances of humans the Romanians had covered their tracks.

"Marcus would you please stop groaning so much this isn't going to go by any faster." Aro sighed at me and rubbed his forehead.

"Excuse me for worrying about the safety of this coven and our family."

"Relax brother I know you are, but moping about it won't save us all." I sighed again, and right on cue Demetri walked in with the search party.

"There you all are, any word?" Aro stood up from his throne.

"Well, we did manage to spot some newborns feeding but they vanished fast." Alice.

"How could they vanish? Didn't they leave a trail?" Caius.

"They did but right when we came close it disappeared. We tracked all over that area didn't find anything but human scents." Demetri held out his hand and Aro read his thoughts.

"Hmm, well you all take a break. I'll send another party to check later."

"It doesn't really matter how many parties you send Aro, we won't be able to find them unless one or more of them sets foot in the city." Jasper, the blonde one spoke and I saw Aro tense.

"I know…but this is the best we can do." Aro turned and sat back on his throne putting his face in his left hand. I could see the tension too, this wasn't going as we'd hoped and all I could do was lock away my son, daughter, and grandchildren away to keep them safe.

'Please let this end soon.' I silently prayed to whoever was listening.

Tony's P.O.V.:

The other two babies finally went to sleep, following Cyrus as he had been sleeping most of the time and he still slept like a lump on a log. Sulpicia and Athenodora had gone to find some clothes to change into since Dominick spat up on their dresses and Aurelia had burped/vomited on Sully's shoes. Thankfully I took care of the smell; it about filled the entire room and almost made me sick.

'My children.' I looked as they slept and sighed. All of my children were wonderful, and they were a combination of me and my beautiful Leah. I loved them and would do anything to protect them, they were my life, my soul, my redemption.

I stood there for a few minutes, pondering what I would do if the Romanians came around here. I had given it thought, and I had spoken to Carlisle about it; there was a chance for Leah to become a vampire, but I would not change her unless she wished me to do so. I knew that I would live and never age, until someone had the strength to rip me apart and burn me into ash; but I didn't want to lose Leah. I wanted her with me forever just like my father wanted my mother to do so, and I didn't want to have her leave me and the children; I needed her and my children needed her, and I would kill anyone who wanted to disrupt my and her happiness.

I quietly snuck away to check on Leah, and I saw she had left the bedroom maybe a little while ago since the space was still warm. I walked around and saw Sully and Dora coming out freshly changed.

"Have either of you seen Leah?" I asked and they exchanged looks.

"I think she went downstairs." I rolled my eyes and made my way for the stairs. As I walked down the spiral staircase I heard small voices from around, but I couldn't tell who it was.

"Leah?" I called hoping it was her, and as I came closer to the voices a dreaded sight was right in front of me. My Leah was being held up with her arms behind her back and an arm across her neck, by none other than Stefan. "Let her go!" I tried to get to her but someone's hand on my arm stopped me.

"I wouldn't do that if I were you." I turned and there was Vladimir smirking behind me.

"What're you doing here? How'd you get past the guards?" I looked between the two, keeping my eyes on them and Leah.

"An easy little way in without little Demetri seeing us, now let's not make this difficult Antonius."

"Let my wife go, and I'll let you live long enough before either I or the guards kill you." I brought my power out but I couldn't use it as long as Leah was hostage.

"Tony!" Leah tried to break free, but why hadn't she shifted? "AH!" she tried to scream but Stefan covered her mouth.

"Let her go!" I was close to charging, but something stopped me.

"Let's make this easy boy, and it's simple…you come with us quietly and we'll leave your wife and kids be, or we take you by force and kill your little wife and babies and that's not in our best interest."

"You bastards." I growled, I wasn't ready for this and I couldn't put my family in danger.

"Better chose quickly cuz I think Leah's suffocating." I saw that Stefan's hold on Leah had tightened and her face was starting to turn color. I inched closer and he tightened his hold even more.

"Alright alright! I'll go with you but mark my words if you dare lay a hand against my family I will murder you." I couldn't use my power, but maybe I could later. "Let Leah go, and I'll go." I glared fiercely at Stefan and he smirked as he released her and she ran into my arms.

"Tony no! You can't go with them!" she tried to tell me but I held her face in my hands and kissed her forehead.

"I have to do this baby, just trust me. Stay here with the children, protect them and yourself."

"Tony I…" I stopped her with a finger to her lips.

"You can do this Leah. Be strong." I leaned down and kissed her lips. "I love you, more than anything." She had tears flowing from her beautiful eyes, and I held her close taking in her scent until someone grabbed me and covered my head.

"That's enough, time to go." My arms were restrained and my legs were bound with some strange material. I was lifted from the floor and all I could do was go along with it, listening to my beloved's cries and hear them disappear as they carried me off.

'I love you Leah, I love you Dad, Aurelia, Dominick, Cyrus Aro, and Sulpicia. Be safe.' Unfortunately as quickly as I thought I could hear the sounds of screeching newborns just down the hall from where Leah had been.

"NO!" I tried to struggle, but their hold on me was too strong.

I'm sorry for it being so short, but the next one will be longer I promise. It will start off where Leah joins the fight against the newborns, and then off to where Tony's been held captive and you of course can imagine they can't just haul him back to Romania in a short amount of time. Can you guess where they're taking him?
