Sophia's POV

"Hi" I spoke carefully trying to judge his mood even going as far as turning to Edward seeing if he could give me clue into what my husband was thinking, he met my eyes with pursed lips which didn't really tell me a lot.

"Hi?" Demetri questioned eyes narrowing towards me and I frowned lowering my eyes from his face feeling the guilt settle in.

"Let's leave them to talk" Carlisle said and my eyes widened for the fact they were just leaving me alone with him but then my thoughts quickly changed to the fact that I was afraid of being left alone with my own husband.

"Sophia" Edward asked making me look up at him. "It's okay" he nodded at me and that put my mind into a tiny bit of ease before he and Carlisle left the room shutting the door even though I knew that would do nothing to block out the inevitable yelling that was about to happen even if they didn't all have vamp hearing.

"So what, your scared of me now?" Demetri demanded clearly understanding what Edward had reassured me off.

"No" I argued lying and he obviously knew that because he scoffed and crossed to the other side of the room nearing the door Edward and Carlisle had left through.

"What the hell are you doing Sophia?" he asked getting down to it straight away.

"I..."

"Do you not care about me?" he asked cutting me off when I couldn't come up with an answer.

"You know I do, I love you"

"So why are you doing this to me?" he asked, his hands behind his back as he stood solid in front of me and I recognized his cold posture, he was fighting back his own feelings wanting to appear tough and I had a feeling it was because of the Cullen's, he was Demetri Volturi and he couldn't appear weak to those he was supposed to induce fear to.

"I...I'm sorry"

"Why are you doing this?" he demanded more strongly.

"I...I want it Demetri, it's our baby and I want it"

"Well I don't" he spat at me and I felt my heart shatter with that news, I'd expected it but to hear it cut deeper than any blade ever could. "You really think that I'd want to be a father?"

"Demetri-"

"Do you think that I want to lose you?" he continued to cut me off. "You always make a big deal out of not lying and keeping things from each other but you decided to have this...thing without even consulting me in the decision, how do you think that makes me feel?"

"I didn't mean to but you didn't really ask me my opinion when I was coming here" I spat back at him, anger replacing the guilt momentarily since he was making this out to be just about me but it wasn't. "You flat out demanded that I have Carlisle kill our baby without even asking me how I felt about the possibility of being pregnant with your child" I threw it back into his face. "It's never about me" I cried, my emotions betraying me.

"That's ridiculous-"

"I've already agreed to change for you, your telling me that you can't try and see this from my perspective" I saw a subtle change in him from the way his lips pursed together more.

"This is different Sophia"

"No it's not" I spat back at him with a glare. "I'm willing to die for something that I want and love just like I was willing to turn for you and if you don't want this then go" I nodded towards the door before I turned away from him not wanting to see if he took me up on that offer because my heart was already breaking from saying it.

"You know I can't" he argued and I heard his footsteps. "I can't leave you but I can't let you put your life in danger"

"Please" I begged him. "Can you really stand there and tell me that you don't want our child, we have a chance here that very few in your shoes has ever gotten?"

"I never wanted kids Sophia, you know my story and you know I never wanted any of this"

"You never wanted me either" I shot back at him and he sighed walking all the way over to me.

"Please don't do this to me" he cupped my cheeks.

"Please don't do this to me" I begged back. "I want this more than anything-"

"More than me?" he questioned.

"No...I love you Demetri, more than anything but this is something that I want, this baby is apart of you and apart of me, it's ours and it's more than I've had in my entire life, so please don't take this miracle away from me" I was full on crying now, the tears burning my eyes.

"Sarai la mia morte" he breathed out so fast that I would have missed it if he wasn't so close, his forehead pressed against mine, I understood one word 'morte' which meant death. "Okay, okay...but I want to talk to the doctor and you are never to leave my sight" his hand found it's way to the back of my head.
(Translation: You will be the death of me)

"Thank you" I breathed out wrapping my arms around my shoulders.

"Don't thank me" he argued stepping back with a glare before he strolled out of the room through the door that lead outside and I watched as he disappeared through the trees that surrounded the house, I frowned but stayed silent knowing he deserved time to come to terms with this and I was willing to give him as much as he wanted since it would also minimize the stress on me.

"He's angry, he'll come around" I jumped startled by Edward's voice.

"I know he is, I don't blame him either" I frowned since didn't his ability have an off switch.

"Not really" he said answering my thoughts and I rolled my eyes.

"You should work on that" I told him sliding off the exam table, my feet hitting the floor and Edward inched forward as if I was going to fall. "What's your problem?" I asked with a frown.

"You should be more careful"

"The tables waist high, it's not like I'm not jumping off a cliff" I snarked back and his lip quirked in a half smile. "You vegetarians are odd"

"I'm sorry"

"Your excused" I told him as I walked past him feeling kind of strange just walking around their home since it wasn't like I was a particularly liked guest when I was with the enemy but I went back into the sitting room on the same floor that I was on and saw it was already occupied by Bella, a little girl and a dark skinned man that I hadn't been introduced to.

"Dad!" the little girl exclaimed and rushed past me to Edward who lifted her into his arms...so this is the hybrid child, she looked like she was ten years old and frowned since she really did grow up quickly...I caught Edward's eyes as he was no doubt listening to my thoughts and he nodded answering all my observations as he placed his daughter down and she run over to the man who smiled at her like she was his whole world...that's strange.

"Jacob, this is Sophia" Edward introduced us and I watched the darker skinned man look up at me.

"This is Volturi's knocked up girlfriend?" he asked and my eyes narrowed towards him.

"I prefer Sophia thank you" I barked back at him and he smiled towards me but I rolled my eyes sitting down in one of the armchairs watching the child who was watching cartoons sitting between Bella and Jacob.

I studied everything about her the way she seemed immensely beautiful like all vampires but her cheeks had a rosy hue to them, I could see a lot of Edward in her facial features which gave me hope that my baby took on Demetri's features...he might accept him if that was the case since his ego was self fluffed knowing how beautiful he was.

"Your making her anxious" Edward suddenly spoke up and I jumped turning away realizing I'd been staring at the young girl for too long.

"Sorry" I apologized and he nodded.

"Come here" he beckoned his daughter towards him. "Sophia this is Renesmee, Nessie this is Sophia" he introduced us.

"Hi" I smiled hoping I came off as polite.

"Hi" she replied in a tiny angelic voice that made me smile and watched as she touched her hand to Edward's cheek.

"Yes" he nodded at her making me frown confused. "She can project her thoughts with a single touch" he explained hearing my confusion and my eyes widened since I hadn't known she was gifted, this coven had a lot of gifted vampires, he nodded with a deep frown answering my thoughts again...that's really annoying. "Sorry" he apologized and I rolled my eyes.

I turned my attention to the woods outside since an entire wall was glass and I could see out and frowned just wishing that Demetri would come back, I knew he needed time to think and he deserved it but it didn't mean that I was comfortable with him gone, I stood up which made four pairs of eyes turn and I frowned, there was less privacy here than in Volterra.

"I'm just going to the bathroom" I told them rolling my eyes.

"Last door on your right" Edward told me and I nodded since I actually had needed directions and left the lounge room walking into the bathroom relieving myself before washing my hands and stared at my reflection in the mirror noticing the pale look on my face and frowned wondering if I was going to get worse than this.

I turned to the side and lifted my shirt running my fingers over the bump that was already forming and smiled a little but it was bitter sweet when I knew that I was alone in my happiness, I had absolutely no one and I can't really force Demetri to love this child which meant I was going to be left alone and the thought scared me since I never wanted to be on my own again and if I died then this baby would be left on its own.

As if those thoughts caused stress I suddenly felt a wave of bile rise up my throat and I launched myself towards the toilet lifting the seat and emptied out my stomach violently feeling someone pull my hair back as I fought against the bile.

After I was pretty sure I was done throwing up I sat back and the hands disappeared and I turned shocked when I saw Rosalie had been the one to help me since she hadn't been entirely welcoming but here she was helping me out, I smiled a quick thank you at her as I moved to the sink rinsing my mouth out and accepted the towel from her again to wipe my mouth still feeling really gross.

"Thank you" I told her again.

"Your welcome" she nodded following me out of the room but I decided to take a nap feeling exhaustion from my argument with Demetri and throwing up took it out of me so I went upstairs and crashed in the room from earlier.

When I woke up my body instantly reacted to the ice cold presence next to me and I felt my heart fill with hope as I slowly lifted my head finding a familiar pair of crimson red eyes looking down at me and the fact that I'd instinctively moved to lie against his chest, my arm laid over his waist.

"Hi" I said hesitantly just in case he wasn't ready to talk yet.

"Hi" he replied moving his hand across my cheek and I leant into it closing my eyes for a second before they opened finding him staring at me, I sighed knowing I brought this awkwardness back into our relationship.

"Do you hate me?" I asked him moving to sit up.

"No" he replied still making me frown from his curtness.

"Are you still angry at me?"

"I don't know" he shrugged. "Maybe a little but I'm not going to force you into getting rid of it" he sighed and I frowned lowering my eyes as I played with my rings anxiously. "I spoke with the doctor and he's confidant he knows what to expect this time around, it goes against all my better judgements to protect you but if you want this then I have to respect your choice even though I don't agree"

"I don't want to hurt you, I didn't even know I wanted to be a mother until I was pregnant-"

"Then you can have a baby...the safe way with some human" he said cupping my cheeks.

"It's not just having a baby though, it's having a baby and being a mother to a baby of the man I love with all my heart, this baby is ours Demetri and the moment Carlisle confirmed that I was pregnant I fell in love with the baby too" he sighed nodding his head.

"I trust you mi amore" he sighed kissing my forehead. "But I'm promising you now that if it comes down to saving you or it, I'm saving you"

"You're going to save both of us Demetri, I still want you to be the one to turn me" I replied gabbing his hand squeezing it. "The moment Carlisle delivers our baby, your going to be there to turn me and then we'll finally have our forever, I'll hold on for you...I promise"

"You better" I smiled nodding my head laying it against his chest finally feeling content to be in his arms especially since I felt slightly warm despite the cool weather and his skin was a soothing, I actually felt like I was being microwaved.

"Do I feel warm to you?" I asked him curiously and he lifted his hand touching it to my forehead.

"No more than usual to me, why?" he questioned back, a worried frown on his face.

"It's probably nothing" I shrugged before I frowned remembering that Carlisle told me never to downplay something if it felt off. "Actually I think I might need to see Carlisle" I quickly argued with myself and clearly hearing his name Carlisle appeared at the open door.

"Is everything alright?" he asked hesitating near the door.

"I feel warm" he frowned and gestured for him to enter the room, I nodded seeing as this wasn't really my house to say no and sat up as he came in and took a seat beside me on the bed lifting a thermometer I hadn't realized he was holding and putting it into my mouth.

"Is she okay?" Demetri asked hand gripping mine in his lap.

"Bella was quite feverish, always changing from hot and cold but not this early" Carlisle answered and I grew worried especially when Demetri's hand clenched around mine a bit more while Carlisle took the thermometer from my mouth and checked the temperature. "It's normal, perhaps your just a bit stuffy in this room" he walked over and opened the balcony doors. "Do you feel anything else?"

"I'm actually a bit hungry" I admitted and he nodded.

"I'll have Esme make you some food and bring it up to you"

"I can help, I don't want to be trouble-" I argued going to stand up only to feel like my head was spinning and I stumbled a bit.

"Soph" Demetri said appearing at my side to help steady me. "Doc is this normal?"

"Yes, the nausea and dizziness was a symptom with Bella" they both got me to sit back down and as if him bringing up the nausea made me feel nauseous. "Especially having not eaten"

"This isn't how I thought it'd be" I mumbled putting a hand to my forehead while watching Demetri's lips purse together looking like he was biting his tongue on a reply he no doubt wanted to say.

"Yes it's quite daunting" Carlisle nodded and I frowned. "Is there anything particular you'd like to eat?" he asked and I thought about what sounded good right now.

"Anything I don't want to trouble you"

"Nonsense, we're not going to starve you Sophia and you need plenty to eat now to build up your strength"

"Could I have pancakes?" I finally asked and he smile nodding his head.

"Of course" he replied before walking out of the room.

"Don't be stubborn Sophia please" Demetri begged getting up and I frowned at him but knew I had to do everything that Carlisle wanted me to if I was going to survive this, I had to trust him.

"I won't" I replied attempting to stand again only for the dizzy spell to return and this time the urge to throw up was too strong. "Demetri bucket!" I yelled at him and before I knew it a bin was being pushed under my chin and I was throwing up into it while he guided me to sit back down rubbing my back gently. "Argh I hate being sick" I groaned when it passed and he passed me some tissues to wipe my mouth.

"I know mi amore, I hate seeing you sick especially since this is all my fault" I frowned looking up to meet his eyes.

"It's not your fault Demetri" I said just as I heard a phone ring coming from his pocket and he frowned pulling it out before he sighed and quickly answered it speaking in Italian meaning I didn't understand half of it.

"Si padrone...si si sta prendendo cura di lei...Carlisle รจ confidente che sopravviveranno entrambi...si padrone il prima possibile"
(Translation: Yes master...yes she's being taken care of...Carlisle is confidant they'll both survive...yes master as soon as possible)

By the way he was speaking and the way his posture was I was guessing that he was talking to the Aro or one of the other ancients but most likely Aro and they were speaking in Italian as a way to most likely hide what they were speaking about but I think that the Cullen's would also know Italian.

I decided to leave him to his phone call and walked down the hall to find a bathroom so that I could properly wash my mouth out but something bumped into me and I looked down seeing the child...Renesmee since she'd come barreling around a corner.

"What-"

"Shh" she held her finger over her mouth and suddenly pulled me down the hall into what looked like another bedroom and we hid in the large closet.

"Why are we hiding?" I asked confused keeping my voice into a low whisper, she quickly placed her hand on my cheek and I saw what only could be visions of her hiding and Jacob looking for her...hide and seek, I smiled at the innocence she seemed to have and I mean she should have innocence since according to Demetri hybrid children grew quickly and she was really only a couple months old but looked with she was eight or ten.

"Sophia?" I heard Demetri call out and held my hand over my mouth to stop from laughing. "Sophia this isn't funny?" Renesmee touched my face again and she showed me Demetri coming back earlier when I was asleep and I understood she was asking if he was mine, I nodded my head and she giggled herself.

"Leech" I heard someone spit out.

"Back off mongrel" Demetri growled back and I frowned decided to go and see what the hell was happening and Renesmee surprised me by following me out grabbing my hand in hers as we walked out and saw Demetri and Jacob in what looked like a standoff until their eyes found us and both moved towards us with Demetri pulling me away and Jacob pulling Renesmee away. "Stay away from her" Demetri growled at Jacob.

"Stay away from Nessie" Jacob growled back picking up Renesmee and left walking down the stairs making me frown not realizing what had happened while Demetri pulled me back into the room.

"Don't disappear like that especially with that dog wandering the house" he glared at me.

"What are you talking about?" I asked him.

"That guy, he's a werewolf" he told me and my eyes widened since I hadn't known that, Edward didn't say that when he introduced us but what I still didn't understand was why that was so bad I mean he was a vampire.

"What's so bad about werewolves?"

"They have no control, they're vicious beasts and can easily hurt you" he replied making me frown since Jacob didn't seem like he could hurt anyone, he was always so caring and kind to Renesmee from how I'd witnessed their interactions.

"Actually he's not a werewolf" Edward said coming into the room with a tray of food clearly intended for me. "The Quillets are shapeshifters as we explained during the...altercation, they share no similarities with the Children of the Moon"

"They're still uncontrollable of their anger" Demetri bit back and I frowned since I really didn't want to deal with his anger right now.

"Demetri calm down, I'll stay away from Jacob okay" I told him in order to placate him while Edward placed the tray down on the bed.

"You better keep the dog away from Sophia" he shot at Edward who frowned at him but nodded his head and left the room, I sighed going over and shut the door even though it wouldn't stop any of their hearing abilities.

"You need to calm down Demetri, they don't have to help us remember and right now you going around being like this isn't going to convince them to continue to help me"

"I don't want that mutt around you"

"Okay you made that point clear and I said I'll stay away from Jacob but don't start on Edward or the rest of them" I shot back at him with a glare.

"Your blaming me when they have that thing roaming the house"

"His names Jacob" I spat at him earning a glare but I wasn't in the mood for his crap so I busied myself with eating scarfing down the food not realizing how hungry I'd actually been until now and I saw Demetri staring at me as usual but he had a smile on his face which seemed out of place. "What?" I questioned him.

"I've just never seen you eat this much"

"Shut up" I rolled my eyes at him.

"It's good, your appetite before was quite unhealthy"

"How would you know, hasn't it been thousands of years since you've had to worry about tedious human eating habits"

"I know the amount of meals you skipped wasn't healthy" he argued and I scoffed finishing off the food on the plate.

"I forgot a lot of the times, you make it quite easy to forget that I need to partake in human customs when I'm around you" I admitted placing the tray on a table near the door before I sat back down on the bed.

"Right, I forgot that you humans find me incredibly alluring" he smirked walking over and sat next to me.

"Don't boost your own ego Demetri, it's already inflated enough" I smiled leaning my head against his shoulder glad that his mood changed since I already knew this was going to be a long couple of weeks and didn't need him getting into it with the Cullen's since it was impossible to do this without them.
