(Aro)
"Aro, you need to come for the fitting. Everybody is there." Dora said, and I grimaced. The planning of the wedding was driving me crazy. Why did I choose this, and I did not elope?
"I know, Dora, but I have things to do," I said, and she huffed.
"Your brother told me that everything was done. Aro, your wedding is tomorrow!" Dora said.
"I know, but I want this already gone and be able to be with my love, where is she?" I asked.
"We told you that you are not going to spend time with her until the wedding. She is ok, hating the preparation as much as you do, but forcing a smile and doing the things we asked without mopping around." Dora said.
"I know, she is perfect," I said, grunting. I just missed her so much.
"Come, Marcus will help you today and Caius will be with her," Dora said, pushing me to the room.
Everybody was there. Carlisle, Jasper, Marcus, Emmet even Alec was wearing black robes. I hate this but I tried to think that after this mess was gone, she would be mine forever. A nice picture so I relaxed, and everybody sighed.
"Good brother, that is a good attitude. Now come and put these robes on," Marcus said, smiling. It was nice to see my brother like this again.
"Ok, let's do this," I told him.
"What do you think the girls are doing now?" Emmet asked, and we laughed.
"Probably getting a manicure and a massage," Carlisle said.
"Alice must be getting them to insanity with all her plans," Jasper said, and we nodded. The little one was a mass of energy.
We spent the afternoon together, drinking some blood and playing poker. Jasper destroyed us, and when we told him that he cheated, he was smart enough to send us a wave of guilt, so we gave up. The rest of the day passed quick, and I found myself dressing for the ceremony. Marcus explained that he was the officiant, Caius and Carlisle would stand by my side. Dora and Esme were leading Isabella to the dais where she would meet me for the bonding.
When I was ready, Marcus, Caius, and Carlisle led the way to the throne room. Everybody was there. The important covens and some nomads looked at us as we took place and waited for the women to come. When they entered the room, everybody gasped. A human, I was bonding with a very pregnant woman, and they smiled softly looking at her blushing face.
Marcus made a sweet and short ceremony, telling us how we met and how we fell in love. I put the ring in her hand, and she kissed me before putting my ring in its place. I kissed her softly and she was mine.
"Now, I present you, Aro Volturi, and his queen, Isabella Volturi," Marcus said, and everybody clapped.
I helped my love to sit on my throne, she was already in her fifth month, and she would tire easily sometimes. All the covens came to congratulate us on the baby, and they promised us to be there for the naming. I tensed when I saw Stephan and Vladimir approaching us.
"Aro, Isabella, we are happy for you," Stephan said.
"It's good to see that you found your mate, Aro," Vladimir said.
"Thank you," I said, "I'm glad to see that you came to our bonding."
"Me too, Aro," Vladimir said, and I looked at him confused.
"Just wait a minute," Vladimir said and he waved to a little cloaked figure to advance. "I want you to meet at Leonor. Love, please open your cloak, nobody will hurt you."
Vladimir helped the little woman with the cloak, and I saw a beautiful blond girl. A human! I smiled when I looked down. She was pregnant, probably in her fifth month like my love.
"I met her in our forest, and I fell in love with her. We did not expect this to happen but here we are." Vladimir said, "Maybe you can help us. She is having a little girl."
"Oh, my god," Alice said, jumping around happily.
"What is going on Alice?" I asked, and she gave me her hand.
Oh! I never thought that. Our babies were mated. They would bring peace to our covens and would be so strong together that they would protect us. I looked at the Romanians and I offered my hand to them.
"Peace?" I asked.
"Gladly, Volturi. The seer showed you something interesting?" Vladimir asked, shaking my hand.
"Isabella is expecting a boy," I said, and he laughed.
"Well, I never thought to have you in my family but welcome," Vladimir said, and nodded to the side.
Isabella was talking with Leonor, and they were giggling like little girls. It was amazing that two of the most powerful vampires would end with two little human girls who would have them wrapped around their little fingers like this. Leonor hugged Isabella, and we smiled. They stood up and left the room with Jane and one of the Romanians guards.
"I think our mates forgot us," Vladimir said, and I laughed.
"Well, is the first time they meet somebody who can understand what they are going through." I said, "Blood?"
"Yes, please," Vladimir said, and we sat on the chairs. "How was it for you? She drove me crazy until she got pregnant. One day was twenty hours!" Vladimir said, "I was no even walking after that."
"I know, it was the same for me, but Isabella found a solution." I said, "I don't like to do it, but she forced me the first time."
"What did she do?" Vladimir asked.
"She gave me her blood on a cup without telling me." I said, "It is the only thing that helped.
"Yes, Leonor did the same thing, I hated to think I was drinking her blood. My mates' blood is not supposed to be taken like this." Vladimir said.
"How do you do now?" I asked, and he closed his eyes.
"I don't and I'm not feeling all right." He said, and I nodded.
"Carlisle can help you." I said, "He takes a little of her blood and mix it with bagged blood"
"Do you think he will help me?" He asked.
"Yes, we can talk with him tomorrow," I said, and I tensed when I hear Isabella calling me.
We ran to our chambers, and we found a nomad on the floor. Jane was using her gift on him. Leonor and Isabella were hidden behind Leonor's guard holding each other. They ran to our arms and started to cry. I looked at Vladimir and I nodded him to my bedroom, so he followed me, carrying his mate.
We sat on the bed and the girls calmed down. I was caressing Isabella's head and she put her head on my chest.
"What happened love?" I asked.
"The nomad said that he would revenge Edward's pain and try to attack me," Isabella said closing her eyes.
"When he saw me, he said we were abominations and we should be dead," Leonor said, and Vladimir held her closer to him.
"Aro, we need to protect our mates and it could be a good idea is they are together," Vladimir said. "My coven will be by your side."
"Yes, Vladimir. We will be family after all so we will be by your side also," I said, and Isabella looked at me confused. "Love, you are expecting a little boy"
"I'm expecting a little girl. Are you going to use our babies like this?" Leonor asked angrily.
"No, love. Alice Cullen saw them together in love," Vladimir said, and Leonor smiled at Isabella
"So, we can stay here? I will have my friend with me?" Leonor said, and we nodded. "Thank you, Vlad."
"Vlad?" I asked, smirking
"Don't say anything, lover boy, because your name is short enough. I guess she has ridiculous nicknames for you also." Vladimir said.
"She would never dare to do that," I said scared.
"Sweetie, can you give us some blood?" Isabella asked, and I close my eyes embarrassed.
"Sweetie? The scary Aro Volturi is called sweetie?" Vladimir said, laughing, while I prepared two goblets full of blood for them.
"Don't say this to anyone and I will do the same thing for you, Vlad," I said, and he laughed harder.
"At least mine is only a short way to say my name," Vladimir said smirking.
"Teddy bear, I'm thirsty," Leonor said, and I chuckled.
"Teddy bear?" I asked, and he shrugged
"Baby, I need the blood," Isabella said and I offered my hand to Vladimir
"Not a word about this to anyone?" I said, and he took my hand
"Not a word, can you imagine how they would laugh if they would hear about this" Vladimir said, and the door opened showing Alice's head.
"Too late, be ready for the jokes, Teddy bear and sweetie," Alice said and we groaned giving the blood to our mates.
"What happened?" Isabella asked.
"They heard you telling us our private nicknames and they are laughing at us now," I said, and she put my head on her lap.
"Don't worry, you are the only ones that would be love like this," Leonor said, and we nodded into their laps.
"Men, don't be stupid. We need to enjoy the day, is my wedding after all," Isabella said, and we nodded.
"Come, we will go to see the guests," I said.
