Edward's POV
When Aro entered the house and walked towards Paige and Abby. I realized that he wasn't only here for Charlie and Renee. His plan was to take Paige and Abby as well. Bella stepped in front of Aro blocking his way to the children. I could hear Aro's aggravation. I knew the guard would follow. I was right, five members of the guard filed in with Jane. Alice's phone rang.
"Edward, they are at Esme's too." Alice informed me with a look of terror among her face.
Aro made a sudden movement; before Bella or anyone could react he was holding her up by her neck. When Aro had Bella by the neck I wanted nothing more than to kill him. I could see the panic in her eyes.
"Why don't you share your thoughts with me Bella?" Aro said.
"I don't know how to share my thoughts." Bella said horrified.
"You're lucky you not human anymore." Aro pointed out. Just as he said that Sam, Quil, Embry, Paul, and Jacob attacked the five members of the guard. Alice went after Jane and I went to save Bella, but Aro turned.
"Do you really think that is wise Edward?" He asked. "I could kill her."
I stopped and thought about it. Aro turned to get the twins, when I caught him by surprise. He dropped Bella.
"Get them out of here." I yelled to Bella. She grabbed the twins and Charlie and Renee followed her. I knew she had left.
"What do you with my children?" I asked Aro.
"They would be a great asset to my family. They could easily go out in daylight and gather our dinner for us. Not to mention all the powers they contain."
"I am not going to let you take them." I said.
I was in pain all of a sudden. I dropped to the floor. I knew it was Jane that put me in pain. Aro and Jane had disappeared. I looked around to see that the guard members didn't make it. Just then Emmett and Jasper walked in.
"I see that we are late." Emmett said. "Edward I need to tell you that Demetri and Felix got Rylan."
"What! How could they get him?" Then I realized they didn't have help like we did. I looked around, I seen that Jacob and Embry were hurt pretty badly.
"Where's Quil?" I asked.
"He's over there." Alice pointed out.
"I think he is dead." Jasper said.
I called Bella on my cell phone using Charlie's phone. I hoped she would answer it.
"Hello." I heard Bella's angelic voice.
"Bella love, are you alright?" I said worried.
"I am fine. Did Emmett tell you…" She trailed off.
"Yes. That is part of the reason I am calling you. Most of us are fine."
"Who isn't fine?" She asked harshly.
"Jacob and Embry are hurt pretty bad. We don't know if they are going to make it."
"The rest of you are fine?"
"Bella, you didn't let me finish. Quil didn't make it."
It was quiet for a moment.
"Bella are you okay?" I asked.
"I am feeling as good as I can be in a situation like this." She told me. "What else did you want to tell me?"
"We are going to Volterra to get Rylan back. Bella, before you even say that you want to go with, the answer is no. You need to stay with our children and your parents."
"I understand. Did any of the Volturi live?"
"Yes, Aro and Jane slipped away. Alice saw them going meeting Demetri and Felix, and heading back to Volterra with Rylan. I know they're not giving Alice false visions, because they feel safer in Volterra."
"How far away are they?"
"Why?"
"Please just answer my question." She said.
"They are in Canada somewhere. Why?"
"Because I am coming over there."
"Bella, keep driving don't come back here."
"No, I am coming back. I have a power that can heal Jacob and Embry. Are you sure Quil is dead?"
Emmett walked over to the Quil. "He's not dead, but it won't be long." Emmett told me.
"He will be within a few minutes. That's how bad he is." I said
"Why did you tell me he was dead when he isn't yet." She sounded angry.
"I didn't think he would make it this far. I thought he was when I told you, but Emmett told me otherwise."
"Well I am on my way back with everyone, including Esme, Rose, Coraline, and Oriana. I will see you in a few minutes. I love you."
"Okay. I love you too." I said.
I didn't really want her coming back here and seeing everything that happened, but I knew I really couldn't stop her. So instead we cleaned up the bodies of the Volturi guard. It didn't take Bella long to get here. They all rushed into the house. Bella went straight to Quil's side. She tried to heal him for a half an hour. She didn't succeed.
"I am so sorry Quil. I tried." Bella said. If she could cry she would be sobbing. She went over to Embry and was able to completely heal him. She went over to Jacob to heal him. He wouldn't allow her to heal him all the way. She turned her attention to me. She got up and walked towards me.
"Edward, go and bring our son back home."
"You know I will." I tried to assure her. I kissed her with so much force that it left both of us breathless. I hugged her and held her in my arms for a while.
"Go before they do anything to him. I love you Edward!"
"I love you too, Isabella." I said.
I walked over to the children and gave them kisses and hugs. Then disappeared out the door with Emmett, Jasper, Carlisle, and Sam. I didn't want to leave Bella, but I knew I needed to get Rylan back. We ran back to my house and got the Volvo. I drove to the airport. Carlisle bought us all tickets. We boarded the plane. I sat next to Carlisle. All I could think of the whole way there was what the Volturi were going to do to my son.
"Edward, why don't you call Bella?" Carlisle suggested. Jasper sent a wave of calm. I chose to let it affect me.
"That sounds like a wonderful idea." I told Carlisle. "Thanks Jazz. That is what I needed."
"You're welcome." Jasper replied.
"Hello?" Bella's worried voice answered.
"Bella, how is everything?"
"Everything is fine Edward. We are not in Washington anymore."
"Don't tell me where you are, just in case. How are the children?"
"They are sleeping. I wish I could sleep. Where are you?"
"We are on a plane to Rome. Has Alice had any visions?"
"Yes, but she wouldn't tell me anything about them."
"Put her on the phone please."
"Alice, Edward wants to talk to you." I heard her say.
"What Edward?" Alice said.
"What did you see?"
"Well they're back in Volterra. They haven't done anything to him yet. They don't exactly know what Rylan needs."
"Well you better call me with any new visions you have."
"You know I will. Bella is very weak."
"Can you take her hunting or go hunting for her."
"Okay Edward." It became quiet I knew Alice handed the phone back to Bella.
"Hi." Bella's sweet voice said
"Bella I am sorry to cut this short, but you need to find some way to calm down. Maybe someone can take you hunting."
"Is that what you told Alice?"
"Yes. Why?"
"Because she left and now there is a thermos in front of me."
I couldn't help but to chuckle. "I promise the next time I talk to you I will be on my way back with Rylan. Make sure to drink all the blood Alice shoves your way. I love you my beautiful Bella."
"I love you too, the love of my life. Edward please be careful please."
"I will. Take a bath and rest."
"I will. I love you."
"I love you too. Bye love."
"Bye."
I hung up the phone. I was glad Carlisle suggested calling Bella. It seemed to relax me a little more. Until my mind went back to wondering what Aro and his brothers were going to do to my son. Carlisle looked over at me.
"Everything will be fine Edward." Carlisle tried to convince me.
"How are we going to get him back? We can't fight them."
"We may not be able to fight them, but we can find another way."
I took comfort in his words. I closed my eyes and tried to remember how I felt on my wedding day, when I found out that Bella was pregnant, and when Bella gave birth to them. They each made me feel overjoyed. I was lucky to have someone like Bella. Before I knew it we landing in Rome. We got off the plane and found a car. Carlisle drove, because I didn't want to.
When we got to the Volturi castle, we didn't quite know how to get in. Then I remembered the way they took Bella, Alice, and me underground. I explained to Carlisle where they had taken us that day Bella saved me.
"That sounds like the only way we will be able to get in there." Carlisle said.
"Let's go." We walked to the spot and jumped down the hole. Everyone followed me. I came to a sudden stop.
"What is it Edward." Emmett asked.
"They know we are here." I said.
"How are you sure?" Sam asked.
"Because they are down here with us."
"Hello Edward." Demetri said. "What a pleasant surprise."
"Where is my son?" I asked ferociously.
"I don't know. You will have to talk to Aro and Marcus. Calius might know as well." Felix said with a smug look on his face.
"Then take us to them." Carlisle said.
"Gladly." Demetri said. "Follow me."
Demetri lead the way and Felix followed behind us. He lead us right to Aro, Marcus, and Calius.
"What brings you here?" Marcus asked.
"You damn well know why we are here. Where is he?" I could no longer keep calm.
"Edward, we haven't hurt him." Aro assured me.
"That might be true, but you will eventually. I want to see him."
"Demetri go and get him." Marcus ordered him.
Demetri disappeared out of the room. It was very quiet for a few moments.
"What happened to 'I come back when they are older and offer them a place with us.'" I asked.
"That was when I thought you were being honest with me. You must forget that when I brushed up against Emmett as I left I seen more than just the fact that you told Bella's parents about us. I had seen the plan to keep hiding them from us. That makes me wonder what else you would plan."
Demetri entered the room with Rylan, who was screaming at the top of his lungs. I could see that Demetri was uncomfortable holding him.
"What do you want me to do with him?" Demetri asked Aro.
"Hold on to him." Marcus answered.
"Edward if you, Bella, and your children come and live with us. You all could be together again."
"As I told you before I want no part of your lifestyle."
"Why do you fight your true nature?"
"Because I can stop myself from being a monster, unlike you."
It was silent again. I was thinking of how to get Rylan away from Demetri and leave, when suddenly Sam grabbed Rylan and took off running. Emmett attacked Demetri and Jasper took Felix. Carlisle helped Jasper, which was shocking. I hoped Sam could make it out of the castle. Once he was out he would have a better chance to get away. I went to help Emmett with Demetri. Aro, Calius, and Marcus just stood there watching. After a long and tricky fight, Demetri and Felix were no more. I notice that Jane was in the room now. She tried to use her power to take me down, but for the first time I was able to deal with the pain.
"Aro, if you ever disturb my family you will be next." I yelled.
"You think it is possible to get through my guard and then still be alive to kill me. I don't think it is possible. Lets test that theory now." He was pointing behind me.
I realized that there had to be at least a hundred of them. Emmett just laughed as he began to attack. He was able to kill about ten of them with no trouble, but the found out that they kept getting harder and harder to kill. Jasper and Carlisle started to help out. I could see that they needed help. So I jumped into the fight. I dismembered at least thirty of them. It wasn't easy. I haven't fought anyone who was as advanced as this. We managed to dismember most of them before Aro said something.
"Stop." He ordered. "Edward consider yourself lucky today, just leave, but know this will not be the last time you will hear or see us. We will see each other again in the future. Next time you will not be so lucky."
We turned and left the same way we came in. I wondered where Sam was and if he still had Rylan. When we were out in the open I picked up his scent. We found him about three miles away surrounded by a crowd of be people. We were fortunate that today was a very cloudy day. When we approached him I could see he had Rylan in his arms. Rylan was crying. Sam looked up at me and handed me Rylan. He stopped crying when he was in my arms.
"Sam, thank you." I told him.
"You're welcome. I didn't think I was going to get away there for a minute. I figured if I could find a bunch of people to surround us with they wouldn't do anything irrational."
"You were right. They won't expose themselves to people."
I looked down at Rylan. I seen blood on his face, but I knew it wasn't his.
"Carlisle, they tried to feed him blood. Is that going to do anything to him?"
"I'm not quite sure. We will have to stop somewhere to clean him up and get food and clothes for him."
We got another car and went to a restaurant. I took Rylan to the bathroom to clean him up the best I could. When we got back I saw the little plate of mashed potatoes.
"I order him the potatoes. I hope that is okay." Emmett said.
"That's fine. Where's Carlisle?"
"He went to get clothes for us. This is the time we need Alice or Rosalie with us." He laughed.
I feed Rylan the potatoes. I was pleased when he ate them. Carlisle returned.
"Did he eat?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes he ate all of the mashed potatoes."
"He doesn't usually eat all of his food?"
"No, he never eats it all."
"That's a great sign. It means he didn't drink the blood. That explains why it is all over his face."
I was relieved. I knew I should call Bella to tell her I had Rylan and that he was okay. I waited until we were on the plane to call her.
Bella's POV
Edward's cell phone rang. I answered it.
"Hello?"
"Bella, We have Rylan and we are on our way back home." I was relieved to hear Edward voice and that Rylan was okay.
"Oh Edward. Is everyone okay?" I asked.
"Yes, we are all fine. You don't have to worry anymore love."
"They didn't hurt him did they?"
"No, they tried to feed him blood, but Carlisle said that he didn't drink it."
"Okay. When will you be back?"
"Tomorrow morning."
"I will meet you at home then. What all happened?"
"I will tell you tomorrow when I get home. Have you been drinking the blood Alice has been shoving at you?" He asked.
"Yes. I think she went a little overboard though. I can't possibly drink anymore. I hope she doesn't come back with anymore."
"She's gone?"
"Yes, her and Rosalie went shopping for baby food."
"Oh. How are the children?"
"They are fine, but they are really quiet. They have never been this quiet before."
"Maybe its because I am gone and Rylan too."
"That could be."
"I have missed you terribly love."
"I missed you too. It has been very stressful here without you. All I could think about was if you and Rylan were okay. I have spent most of the time in the bedroom."
"How are Charlie and Renee handling this?"
"They're still shook up, but it's not as bad as before. Renee has been crying about Rylan being taken. We all have tried to calm her down, but I don't think it is possible until you come home with him. Charlie has been upset too. He'll never admit the fact that he has been crying as well. They both have been extremely worried about you."
"Are you sure it not just Rylan they're worried about?"
"Edward, they have come to accept you. They hate to see me this upset. So with everything put together, we are all emotional wrecks."
"I am still sorry about that."
"What are you sorry about? None of this was your fault. I know what your thinking and don't even say anything about it. I am glad you're a part of my life. I wouldn't change anything."
"Do you really mean that or are you just telling me this so I will come home and give you your son?" Edward tried to joke.
"Both." I laughed.
"Bella I to tend to Rylan. I can't wait to see you love."
"I can't wait to see you either."
"I love you and remember you have my heart with you."
"I love you too. You have my heart as well."
"I will see you tomorrow. Bye love."
"Bye Edward."
I hung up the phone and realized everyone was in the room with me. I knew I needed to tell them.
"Edward is on his way home with Rylan. Carlisle, Emmett, Jasper, and Sam are all fine. Edward will explain everything that went on when he gets home tomorrow morning. Get ready to go back to Forks." They all just looked at me before it sunk into their heads.
"I bet Edward isn't going to tell you right away. I am sure there is something else he really wants to do before that." Rosalie said.
"Is that all you and Emmett think about?"
"Pretty much. Emmett is worse than me though."
I couldn't help but laugh. "Edward and I hear you every night. I feel bad for Edward; he sees it in his head. Wait my children have his power too. Does that mean they see it as well?" I started to worry, but everyone else laughed at me.
"I guess they'll be having that talk early in life." Rosalie teased.
"Many times over. I am afraid of what they'll see. You probably do weird things. If that happens I am sending them all to you." I said with a huge smile on my face.
"Are you sure you want to send them to Rose and Emmett? They might plant things in their heads." Alice said while laughing.
"You're right. I don't want them telling my children anything that will corrupt them anymore than what they will see."
Rose poked her tongue out at me as we all laughed. We got ready to leave when Jacob returned from wherever he disappeared to. I almost forgot he was with us.
"Bells, have you heard from Edward yet?"
"Yes, he has Rylan. Everyone is okay too. They will be home tomorrow morning."
"Oh okay. So I take it we are leaving."
"Yes, we were waiting for you."
"Well let's go."
We drove home slower than usual. I didn't have a rush to get home, if Edward wasn't there yet. We were still going well over the speed limit. We got home at six o'clock. Alice took Charlie and Renee home and clean up their house for them. I gave all of the kids a bath and fed them. I played with them until they started to get tired. Rose helped me put them to bed. As we were leaving the nursery, I turned on their lullaby and closed the door. I decide to clean up all the rose petals that were scattered all over the place. I cleaned the whole house within an hour. Rose and I talked about everything that was possible. I could tell she missed Emmett. This is the most we have ever talked. I didn't realize what time it was when the front door opened. I hoped it was Edward and Rylan, but it was Alice.
"Charlie's house looks back to normal. You would never be able to guess that something happened there. Did I interrupt your conversation with Rose?"
"Not really. We were running out of things to say."
The door opened again. This time it was Edward. I was relieved to see him and Rylan. Everyone else, but Sam walked in.
"Where's Sam?"
"He went home."
Esme left with Carlisle. Rose, Emmett, Alice, and Jasper left as well. Edward handed me my tired baby. I didn't want to put him upstairs to bed, but I did anyways. I came back downstairs and sat by Edward.
"What happened?"
"Do you really want to hear that now?"
"Yes."
"Can I just tell you a few things?"
"I guess."
"Well Sam stole Rylan out of Demetri's arms and took off running. Carlisle and Jasper killed Felix. Emmett and I killed Demetri. We fought part of the guard after I threatened Aro, Marcus, and Calius. Aro said that we would see him again in the future and we should consider ourselves lucky."
"Oh, I see. When do you think we will be seeing them again?"
"Not for quite some time."
"How long is quite some time?"
"Years. Let's just enjoy the time we have before they come back."
Edward and I sat on the couch and snuggled. I felt wonderful to be in his arms again. I wish we could stay like this forever, but I knew that would be impossible. I felt the safest in Edward's arms. Four hours had passed and I got up to get the kids up and fed. Edward came and helped me. We gave the triplets oatmeal. Edward fed Paige her baby cereal and then a jar of mashed bananas. I did the same with Abby. After they all were finished eating we put the twins in their playpen and let Ori and Cora play with their toys on the floor. I held Rylan in my arms until he started fussing, because he wasn't playing. It was nice to have my family back together. Edward and I played with the kids. I went to the store to buy more baby formula and food. I can't believe how much they eat. I realized it would only get worse as the got older. I guess it really is a good thing that I married into a family with money, not that it really matters. I returned home and noticed that everyone was at my house.
"Hey Bella?" Emmett said.
"What is it Em?"
"Rose told me about the talk you had about our bedroom activities and your kids."
"Oh she did, did she?"
"Yeah I thought it was hilarious. But on a serious matter we will try not to do weird things."
"Oh geez Emmett that solves everything." I laughed. "The fact that your nieces and nephew are going to see you in your 'bedroom activities' in their heads every time, isn't going to bother you at all?"
"Well now that you put it that way it is kind of creepy."
I laughed once again. "Creepy, that's it. My poor children are going to have to go to therapy because of those images. It's bad enough that you torture Edward by that. I am surprised he isn't in therapy."
Emmett laughed and I knew he was up to something.
"You know Edward is listening to us right?"
"Yeah that's nothing new."
Emmett had this huge smile on his face.
"EMMETT!" I heard Edward yell.
"What did you do?" I asked Emmett.
"I pictured you and Rose together."
"EMMETT! You don't have to worry about Edward getting you. I am going to kill you."
I chased him around and Edward caught him. I hit him as hard as I could. I was proud of myself, because it actually hurt him.
"Ouch Bella, that really hurt." Emmett whined.
"Good, that's what you get. Have fun with Edward. He's going to do worse than what I did." I laughed at him as I walked into the house.
"What is Edward so mad at Emmett for?" Rose asked.
"He pictured you and I together."
"He did what?" I could see Rose was pissed off. "I am going to get him, after Edward is finished."
I just shook my head and put the stuff away. Edward walked in and put his arms around my waist. I look in his eyes and I could see his desire, burning in them.
"Edward this sudden change of your mood has nothing to do with the images of Rosalie and I do they?"
"No. I want you though. Do you think we can sneak upstairs for a quickie."
"No, Edward your family is here."
"I can send them away."
"No Edward, what about our children?"
"Bella you tease too much."
"I didn't do anything. What are you talking about?"
"Just being around me drives me insane."
"Well then I guess I will leave."
"NO! Bella just promise me soon."
"I can't make that promise. It is hard to promise anything with five kid around."
"Please Bella promise me that we will have one night to ourselves soon."
"Edward, I can't make that promise."
"Why not."
"I can promise you that we will have a night to ourselves, I just can't promise it will be soon."
"I understand. Are you sure you're not going to change you mind about my offer tonight."
"You are diving me insane. Edward get upstairs now." I laughed at the expression on his face.
"Do you mean you are going to give me what I desire?"
"Yes, we didn't get to on our anniversary. I will just be embarrassed when we're done. Emmett is going to tease us."
"No he will tease me more than you."
"Let's give him something to tease us about. Carlisle and Esme are gone right?"
"Yes. What do you mean by 'let's give him something to tease us about'?"
"You'll see."
He scooped me up and carried me upstairs to our bedroom. I wasn't being quiet at all. After a little bit Edward decided that he should join in on the fun and stop being quiet. I could hear them all complaining. Jasper came and knocked on our after an hour of enduring the sounds and feelings.
"Please guys, it's bad enough I feel what you guys are feeling. Why do you have to torture me with the sound of it too."
Edward and I just laughed. "Sorry Jazz." I said.
"Why are you making all the sounds?"
"Because if Emmett is going to tease us we might as well make it worth while." Edward said.
"Are you even close to being done?"
"Nope."
"Well hurry it up." He hissed.
Edward and laughed for a few minutes. Then continued doing our 'bedroom activities'. We called quits three hours after Jasper's plead. Edward and I took a shower and Got dressed. We went downstairs to face Emmett's teasing. To our surprise nothing was said right away.
"Were the kids fed?" I asked.
"Yes, they should be ready for bed."
Alice helped me take them upstairs and put them to bed.
"Do you and Edward ever take a break?" Alice asked.
I laughed. "Now that I can't get pregnant. We can do it more often."
We spent the rest of the time laughing and talking in my room.
