Two months later:
"Marcus!" I yell alarmed and he bursts into the bathroom, scooping me up in his arms, his hands roaming my body for injuries. "I'm not injured." I tell him and he calms down a little but looks worriedly into my eyes. I gulp. "Honey, do you know if it's possible for you to… impregnate me?" I whisper and he freezes, looking straight into my eyes in shock. His hand slowly moves and rests over my stomach. His head then tilts a little to the side as if he's listening, then he freezes again.
"We need to get back to Volterra." He says suddenly and wraps me tighter in his arms as he carries me out to the car at a normal pace. "Why did we go so far? My mate, possible danger?" I hear him mumbling under his breath as he places me carefully in the passenger seat, then running to the other side.
"Marcus… Do you think I'm pregnant?" I whisper as he starts driving and his eyes find mine for a few seconds.
"I think so. I can hear the baby's heartbeat. Tell me Bella, if this pregnancy doesn't become too dangerous for you…. could you consider keeping our child?" He asks, his voice tired and ancient. He's upset and scared, that is always the voice he uses then. I caress his cheek with my thumb and he inhales deeply as he waits for my answer.
"I want our child." I answer him clearly and a large smile spreads over his face.
"Thank God." He laughs and I grin as I rest my head on his shoulder. "We'll have to figure out how this happened." He adds and I smirk.
"Well Marcus, when two adults love each other very, very much…" I begin and he growls quietly at me. I chuckle.
"I hope it isn't dangerous for you." He whispers. I capture his hand and place it over my stomach.
"We'll figure it out together, I know we will. I have a good feeling." I say and he rubs my belly gently.
"We will." He agrees and then he drives us as quickly as he can to Volterra. We arrive almost two days later and the second I put my foot out of the car we are surrounded by guards.
"Carlisle is waiting in your office." Aro says in an urgent voice to Marcus as he studies me closely. I open my arms for him and he smiles, hugging me incredibly gently.
"I'll be fine, dad." I whisper in his ear and he nods seriously as he lets me go. Marcus lifts me up worriedly in his arms and carries me at a human pace to his office… We have decided to be careful with the vampire speed until we know how it affects the baby.
"Bella." Carlisle breathes as Marcus carries me inside, placing me on his desk.
"Hi Carlisle." I smile gently. He holds his hand out towards my stomach with a questioning glance and I nod. He lays it gently on my stomach and listens seriously as he feels for anything, then he gasps.
"I hear the heartbeat." He whispers amazed and I can't hide my chuckle.
"Yes, Carlisle, my baby has a heartbeat." I agree and he smiles sheepishly to me.
"Do you know anything about how her pregnancy will progress?" Marcus asks as he wraps his arms possessively around my waist and Carlisle sighs deeply.
"I have never heard about something like this. I'm sorry but I don't know what will happen. I would like to stay here during the pregnancy and help, if that would be okay?" Carlisle asks and we both nod.
"A doctor is always good to have." Aro agrees as he comes into the room. "You and your coven will have the same rooms as when you were here last." He directs and then he looks straight at Marcus with a serious gaze. "Brother, we have a problem, we need to talk."
"I won't leave my mate right now Aro." Marcus almost growls and Aro nods.
"I know, bring her with. This includes her as well. One of the vampires that helped Mason when he was newborn has come here and I think Bella knows her." He says and I gulp as Marcus growls protectively. Marcus gathers me in his arms and we follow Aro down to the throne room. We sit down on the thrones, me on Marcus' lap. Demetri and Alec are standing right in front of us protectively.
"Bring her in." Aro orders and Felix opens the door for the vampire and my breath hitches.
"Victoria." I breathe and her red eyes snaps to mine, she smirks widely.
"Isabella." She hisses, causing Marcus to growl loudly and the guard to move forward, holding her in place as she tries to advance.
"Masters, may I?" Jasper asks as he walks out of the shadows and the kings nod. "Bella lived with my former coven and Victoria as well as two other nomad vampires began hunting her. We killed Victoria's mate and later the other coven member died. Victoria has been out for revenge ever since her mate's death and she will not stop until she has gotten her revenge or recieved death." He informs before he steps back, the dark hiding him with the help of his Volturi cloak. Hm… I didn't know he joined.
"Isabella?" Aro asks and I nod.
"I agree with Jasper on everything he said." I state and I see Demetri move forward dangerously.
"Demetri, you may have the honor." Aro allows and a second later Demetri rips her head off with a growl. The tension in Marcus disappears and turns into a soft purr as he rubs my belly.
"My mate and our baby are safe." He purrs in my ear, causing a gasp to go through the room. I blush and hide my face in his chest.
"Permission to speak, masters?" Santiago asks and someone must have nodded because he continues. "Is Queen Isabella pregnant?" He asks and Marcus purrs louder as he answers:
"Yes, my mate is pregnant."
Gasps are heard all the way through the room and then an excited buzz builds up as everyone speaks too quietly and quickly for me to hear.
"Silence." Aro says calmly and instantly the room quiets. "As you understand Isabella and the baby's protection is of utmost importance so anyone that comes close to hurting her will be taken out immediately. As a consequence of this all guards are allowed to take out potential threats near Isabella at all times." Aro orders and everyone looks stunned at him. Usually it's only the elite guards that are allowed to take out threats in the castle- this means ripping them to pieces and putting them on fire straight away- they are usually only allowed to neutralize the threat a.k.a. ripping them to pieces and wait for the masters to decide.
"This meeting is closed." Aro then concludes and everyone disappears slowly out through the door.
The next three months Marcus is by my side constantly, my belly is growing very quickly but we found some legends about some similar pregnancies. Today I am having a C-section and then they'll change me.
"Ready, my mate?" Marcus asks worriedly as he caresses my cheek.
"Yes, I'm ready." I assure him and he smiles a little before he nods for Carlisle to go ahead and sedate me.
"Countdown from ten, Bella."
"Ten… nine….eight…..seven…" Black.
FIRE! It courses through my veins and I scream in agony. Damn the change must have begun. Think about everything Bella! Rene, Charlie, Demetri, Marcus, our child, wedding, Mason, Aro, Caius, Demetri…
I don't know how long it has been but suddenly my heart stops.
"My mate, can you open your eyes for me?" Marcus asks worriedly as he squeezes my hand a little. I snap my eyes open and instantly meet his red ones. MINE! Something inside me roars and I pounce at him. My lethal teeths instantly find his neck and I sink them into his hard skin and force my venom inside. Relief. I relax into his shocked arms as I purr, nuzzeling my mark on his throat. He caresses my hair softly and licks the mark on my neck. I purr even louder and he relaxes.
"Bella?" He asks quietly and I snap out of my nuzzeling and look surprised at him.
"Oh Marcus." I exhale as I just rest my head on his shoulder.
"How are you?" He whispers and I shrugg.
"I'm good….. How are our child?" I ask and he pecks my lips quickly.
"Children actually. One male and one female. They are stunning." He assures my and I smile brightly.
"Can I see them?" I ask and he grins.
"Demetri!" He yells and a few seconds later I hear two heartbeats coming closer. The door opens and my brother comes inside with two brown haired small babies. I smile to them and open my arms. I purr contently when I feel our children in my arms and my mate's arms around me.
"Did you decide to skip the newborn phase, sis'?" Dem asks and I grin.
"Yep, my older brother gave me the idea."
"They are wonderful." He nods towards the children with a loving smile and I nod.
"They are." I agree and then I cuddle deeper into Marcus arms.
20 years later:
"Mom! Dad!" Ana yells as she jumps into our arms. We hug her tightly and catch Matt when he joins us.
"How was collage?" Marcus asks with a grin and they roll their eyes. This is the fifth time they have been to collage. They was fully grown when they were seven, since then they are as normal vampires. Ana and Alec are mates… We still don't know if we like it or not, also Jane and Matt are mates. It's odd... but we love them all so we'll live with it for now. The Cullen's (minus Edward) comes to visit often and Jasper lives here constantly. We are all one big happy family. THE END
