Bella's POV:
The world seemed to stop spinning for a moment while I waited for Edward's answer. As the silence grew longer, I could feel it moving again, this time at the speed of light.
Dizziness overcame me and before long I could hardly see anything but blurs. The only thing that was currently linking me to my body was Edward's comforting touch and pleading words that I could barely make out.
That's when I heard the words that meant everything to me, that made my world feel stable once again.
"Bella please listen. Everyone's fine. You're really scaring me, please look at me." Edward's voice was filled with so much concern for me and the baby and I knew why.
My brain had conjured up my worst fears, trapping my body and mind in a loop of fear and dread. That's why, at first, I hadn't heard Edward reassure me that our family was okay.
It was only when my fears started to turn into a full-blown panic attack that Edward's words of concern reached me.
Once the words became clearer I felt my body calm and my breathing started to ease into a slow and steady rhythm. I noticed that Edward had stopped walking in the middle of the long corridor. He was kneeling by the wall rocking back and forth with me in his arms.
"You're sure?" was all I could whimper when I finally found my voice.
"Positive love, please don't scare me like that ever again. I have come so close to losing you and I don't think I can take much more pain," Edward answered a pleading note in his voice.
"I'm sorry. Being wrapped up in my own mind was the only thing keeping me from going insane while I was locked in that cell away from you!" I answered sobs wracking my body.
Edward pulled me tighter to his body while still being mindful of my baby bump.
The rocking continued for a while until Edward pulled back to look deeply into my eyes as his hands gently connected with my baby bump.
"I love you Isabella Marie Cullen. You are the reason for my existence. You are the mother of my children. Bella you and our children are the only reason for my existence. Without you, my life would crumble into a thousand pieces. I promise never to leave your side and to love all of you for the rest of eternity and beyond," Edward declared passionately before bringing his lips closer to mine until they met in a familiar loving touch.
The kiss started out slow and soft, but it soon built into something incredibly passionate. I tangled my hands in his bronze locks while our eyes stayed connected the whole time. His familiar lips dazzled me into a state of bliss. Then he pulled away and laid thousands of gentle kisses on my baby bump.
"Wow," I whispered as I ran my hands through the wild bronze strands that I loved so much.
"Wow doesn't cover it my love. I missed you so much," Edward replied before kissing me on the forehead and lifting his body to stand once more.
"As I've missed you," I responded lovingly as Edward took off walking down the long corridor once again.
When we finally reached a pair of large red wooden doors, I couldn't help but cling closer to Edward's body in fear that he would disappear.
Before Edward could even reach for the handle, the doors swung open and an excited looking pixie danced out with a wide smile on her face.
"Bella!" she squealed and before I knew it, she had nearly ripped me out of Edward's arms and into a fierce hug.
Before I could even greet Alice, a growl rose from Edward's chest and I was back off my feet and into his arms once again.
"What did I do Edward?" Alice asked a signature pout appearing on her face.
"I don't want Bella on her feet until Carlisle has looked her over Alice. Please remember that Bella is half-human and pregnant. You need to be careful with her," Edward replied in a stern, protective tone while another growl erupted from his throat.
"Okay sorry. I was just so excited to have my sister back," Alice squealed once again her eyes traveling to my baby bump.
"It's okay Alice, I'm sure they've missed their aunt just as much I have," I said.
I knew that gleam in her eyes. It was similar to the one I'd always received when I was pregnant with Renesmee. I knew that she wanted to touch my stomach.
The moment those words left my mouth, Alice reached for my bump while still being a little wary of Edward's protectiveness. Once she had her hands firmly, but gently planted on my baby bump, she gave me a wide smile before kissing my stomach.
"I'm so glad you're safe Bella," Alice stated as Jasper suddenly appeared by Alice's side and pulled her close to him.
"Good to have you back Bella," Jasper continued in his southern accent.
"It's good to be back with my family again," was my only answer.
Suddenly, I felt my exhaustion taking over. That didn't stop me from fighting it until Edward's lips brushed mine.
As he pulled away, he rested his forehead against mine. The rest of the family gathered around us.
"Sleep love, we'll all be here when you wake up," he reassured me.
"Okay, I love you Edward," I mumbled as I let my weariness take over.
Edward's POV:
I had been so long without Bella by my side, I refused to let go of her even for a second. My family was also alight with happiness.
Luckily, the fight had gone really well apart from the fact Caius had managed to escape while the others fought the other Volturi members including the wives and guards. Part of me was worried that Caius was not going to let our family get off so easily with destroying his, but what could he do about it on his own. We had many friends that if the need ever arose would fight by our family's side until the end.
We were also very lucky that none of our family was hurt during the fight. It was close a vampire three times Alice's size had tackled her. Jasper ended up ripping him limb from limb, but nobody could blame him.
We were a happy family again. I couldn't wait to see if the baby was okay. Just the thought of my child or Bella being hurt made my heart clutch painfully.
Carlisle said he would have it no other way. He wanted to check Bella as soon as we got home and I was not going to disagree with him. The only things left to do was travel back to Alaska and go get Renesmee so that she could see that her mother was all right.
It was stretching the truth. Bella was still beyond weak and had a terribly pale complexion. That alone was enough to make me cling tighter to her fragile body while we left this place in hopes of never returning.
We said our goodbyes and thank yous to Grace and Gwen who had agreed to step in and run the vampire world so that it wouldn't full apart without Aro or his brothers to control it. I just hoped they'd do a better job.
Once we reached the airport, I swear I could have shouted with joy and I would have if I weren't worried that it would wake my reason for existence. We were going home. Bella was in my arms. I knew I was one lucky man to have such a great family and a very special wife.
I love you Bella, I thought as I stared down at her closed eyes and prayed that everything was going to be okay from now on.
Well that's it. They're finally leaving Italy and the Volturi behind. I bet you're relieved.
Okay this is important, so please give me your advice. I'm not sure what you guys want. Would you prefer a quick chapter leading up to the birth or would you like some family moments during the pregnancy? Stay tuned, Oh, and pleases review.
