Carlisle's pov

we made it to Volterra in record time and were greeted by Corin and Santiago, which was odd because, normally Alec and Jane greet guests that come in. I bowed. Where are the kings...?
Aro's
I heard them talking to my guards. I didn't want to wake Bella up but, now, I have no choice but to wake her. I took her from Demetri. By doing this, I knew that I would give away that Bella was close to me, but I really didn't care. My daughter had been through enough without me giving her the cold shoulder that I normally would, when guest were here. Sure, I would give her a new pair of jeans and a new top afterwards, but it didn't mean that guilt didn't eat at me every time I did it.

"Bella" all the Cullens gasped at the same time. It would have been funny.

"Aro please don't..." Carlisle said.

"What Carlisle? 'hurt her'? Because I am fairly certain you have done that enough for both of us." I replied angrily.

Carlisle bowed his head looking ashamed.

Bella snuggled in to me making the Cullen confused.

I took a deep breath and looked down at Bella.

"Sweetheart it's time to wake up." I told her gently.

"Why ?" she whimpered cuddling herself closer to me.

"Because we have guests" I said

her head shot up and she looked confused as I was holding her close.

"Not this time sweetheart" I said kissing her forehead.

"Okay but I still want a new pair of jeans" she said cuddling into me once more.

I laughed heartily, I knew she liked the jeans." okay sweetheart."

Every women that was turned more than fifty years ago ,were winceing at the thought of my little girl in a pair of jeans and me, allowing it, but it was a comfort for her and I am not going to change that.

"What brand this time? You can even get four pairs. Go tell Jane what you want and get cleaned ,we have guests" I pointed to the Cullen she looked at Carlisle, then whimpered and ran to Jane.

"Make that six pairs" her uncle Caius said.

I laughed again."How about four pairs of jeans and four shirts?" I compromised.

They nodded.

"YES" she squealed.

"Go on" then she was off.

"Let's go to the throne room..."
