Aro POV
I am all astonishment and joy in this momentous occasion. Caius is going to have kittens. I found our Isabelly. It takes every molecule of my being to keep from bouncing up and down out of excitement. Instead i lift my little one up and spin around a couple times before setting her on her feet and stepping back to take a good look at her while keeping my hands on her shoulders.
"La mia bella ragazza. Come sei cresciuto." I tell my beautiful girl. Causing her to laugh.
"Yes Uncle, i have grown a lot in the last 10 years." she smiles and it takes my breath away.
"CAN SOMEONE PLEASE EXPLAIN WHAT IS HAPPENING!" shouts one of the Cullen boys. I blink at him and pull Isabella closer to me.
"You must be blind and def if someone has to explain what happens in front of you boy." I growl out to the rude child.
"I will break it down for you, Isabella is my niece; and I haven't seen her in ten years. Anything more than that is none of your business if she hasn't already told you herself."
I look away from the now silently fuming Cullen boy and glance at my Izzy Bell again before addressing Carlisle. "Carlisle my friend i apologize for coming unannounced but it was a spur of the moment decision on my part as i was on my way to Arizona and decided to stop by here to ask a favor but it seems as though that will be unnecessary now."
Carlisle sputters for a moment before responding dimly. "Arizona? Favor?" He shakes his head in an effort to clear it i assume.
"Yes, I was on my way to Arizona to see Isabella." I smile at the young woman at my side. "I was going to tell her the truth about my brothers and I, and then ask her if she wanted to be turned." Isabella smiles at me again tears appearing in her eyes and she throws her arms around me again.
"And the favor?" Prompts one of the females.
I glance around me at all of the Cullens in the room and my eyes land on the scared blond. "The favor was for the Major," I indicated with a nod of the head. "If Isabella agreed to be changed I would have wanted the best to help calm her as needed for her newborn year."
I suppose the major felt my sincerity for he bowed his head to me and then stood back a bit taller. "If that is her wish i would be happy to help." he says in a thick Texan Drawl.
All of the other Cullens seem to freeze at the Majors response. "What? We already know Bella is gifted and she will make one hell of a vampire too. Besides she knows the secret it's not like she will be allowed to stay human forever." The Major responds to all of the gob smacked Cullens.
"I couldn't have said it better myself Major and I appreciate your willingness to help." I glance down at Bella and notice she is starting to nod off so I lift her into my arms and give my attention to Carlisle again. "Carlisle may I sit please. I didn't think I would be intruding on you this long. I can't bring myself to let go just yet."
Carlisle smiles and gestures me to a wide chair close to the fireplace. I thank him and take a seat arranging Isabella to her comfort with her head on my shoulder and body sprawled across my chest. One of the female Cullens places a throw blanket over us and chuckles when Bella snuggles deeper and lets out a low snort.
I glance around again at the surrounding Cullens and bring my eyes back to Carlisle. "Carlisle with everything happening I forgot my manners." I say with a grin. "Please, would you introduce your family to me."
"Ohh yes, indeed." Carlisle indicates each coven member as he names them. "Jasper you already seem to be familiar with. His mate Alice, Rosalie and her mate Emmet, and my own mate Esme." He glances to the corner where the rude Cullen boy still stands. "Edward join us will you."
The broody boy glanced up at us all and then strutted over to a piano across the room and sits on the bench to pout.
Seeming somewhat satisfied Carlisle turns back to me and says. "Aro you mentioned that Bella is your niece would you please explain how that came about."
I glance down at the sleeping beauty in my arms and whisper loud enough for the vampires to hear. "I suppose I have the time."
