Me: I know you are all really excited to see how this goes, so let's hurry up!

Edward: Okay! Disclaimer please Bella!

Bella's POV

You know, I've always wanted to go to Italy. Get a tan somewhere, pull Alexander around, and hang on out on the streets. Now I am sure to view Italy as something of evil importance.

"Todd, you are going to go to the Volturi and present Bella and the child. You shall explain to them what the child is and all. Do this and we will have our revenge." John said.

"Got it."

Todd grabbed my arm and veered Alexander and me to the nearest car. It was a small Porsche…just like Alice had.

My eyes just got watery thinking about them.

So this is how it ends. Alice…Emmett…Rosalie…Esme…Carlisle…Jasper…Edward…oh, I'm sorry Edward. Now you'll never know what you truly meant to me.

He jammed us in the backseat. I was forced to hold Alexander because John and Marie had taken the carrier away from me.

"Todd," I began shakily, "you don't have to do this."

"Yes I do. You see, now that the child is a half-breed, it must be destroyed. I am terribly sorry that you must suffer along with it, but it must be done." He answered, taking off into the middle of a square.

Great. Now he was called my child an 'it.'

"I thought you would actually help me and Alexander. Looks like you're not such a good friend after all."

There was not much talking after that. Todd drove and I followed along. He pulled me out of the car, and I clutched Alexander tighter. Looking upon this high building, something in my gut told me that we were here, and this was our fate.

Edward's POV

We were all on a plane.

Well, almost all of us. Carlisle and Esme elected to stay behind and tell Charlie that Bella and Alexander were taking a trip to Italy with us. It was a surprise and we dragged Bella and Alexander along.

I sat there, twitching in my seat, glaring at everyone who looked my way.

"Calm down, Edward. Remember, this plane is faster." Alice said smiling at me.

"How can you smile at a time like this?" I growled at her.

A wave of calmness washed over me, and I snarled at Jasper.

"Not. Needed." I enunciated.

Jasper ducked his head down and grimaced.

"Sorry."

"Edward, I can see when they will arrive. Don't worry about it. They aren't even there yet." Alice said waving her hand.

I felt my posture relax a little, and I rested my head against the window.

"Alice?" I heard Jasper ask moments later.

I turned to her. Her expression was blank.

"Alice?" I asked, shaking her furiously.

She blinked her eyes.

"Edward…they are there. Todd, Bella, and Alexander are going to meet the Volturi."

Bella's POV

We stepped in a beautifully ornate room. There was a lady at the desk, and she had my color of skin signaling that she was in fact human.

"May I help you?" She asked looking first at Todd, then me and Alexander.

"Yes. I must see the Volturi at once." Todd answered smoothly.

"They are eating right now. May I ask why?" She said in a sickly syrupy voice.

I inwardly shivered. This lady was downright creepy.

"This girl is the mother of a half-breed."

The minute he said those words, the receptionist's face turned two shades paler.

"Uhm…wolf or vampire?" She asked.

"Lycanthrope." Todd answered.

"What? B-but there are no known Lycanthrope half-breeds!" She exclaimed.

"Apparently there were for she had this child with one," He answered pointing at me and then Alexander.

She stared at me.

"Is this true?" She asked me.

I shrugged.

"To me, no," I answered.

She pressed a button.

"What is it?" Someone barked through the speaker.

"What is your name?" She whispered, looking at Todd.

"Todd," He answered remorsefully.

"Aro, sir, we have Todd here with a girl and her son," She started.

"So?" Aro snarled through the speaker.

"The son is a half-breed."

There was silence for a minute, and then…

"Bring them in."

"Yes, sir," She answered.

She pointed to some large colorfully decorated doors. I watched the doors for a bit. They seemed to be creating a story.

There were people with red eyes, forest wolves, and scary hairless wolves. The vampires, the wolves, and the lycanthropes.

They all seemed to be fighting, and from the rubble and death, emerged the vampires.

Todd steered me towards the large doors. He merely tapped them, and they opened slowly revealing all who stood within them.

I held the sleeping Alexander closer to me as we stepped through the doors.

"Welcome! Welcome to Italy!" A tall pale man exclaimed.

His voice hurt my ears, and I winced.

Two other pale vampires were standing at his sides. One stared at me with no emotion at all, the other scowled at me.

"My name is Aro. Todd! I haven't seen you in so many years! How have you been?" He asked smiling.
"Good, Aro. Thank you for asking." Todd said inclining his head to the elder vampires.

"Who is this? Such a beautiful child! Tell me, who are you?" Aro asked, tilting his head.

"I-I am Bella Swan. This is Alexander Michael Swan." I whispered.

Aro smiled at Alexander's sleeping form and he walked towards me.

"May I touch you, Bella?" He asked extending his hand.

I curled Alexander more tightly to my body, and held out my hand as Aro had. His touch was as cold as Edward's and he just stared at me. Todd stared in bewilderment as Aro's face grew confused.

"Very interesting. What are you, Bella?" He asked withdrawing his hand.

"Human."

"And your son?"

"…Half-breed."

"What kind?"

"Lycanthrope."

"Impossible!" Someone else exclaimed jumping up.

I almost fell over at his exclamation.

"Peace, Caius. Is this true, Todd?" Aro asked.

Todd nodded.

"Alexander's father told me himself. He said he was a half-breed too." I said.

"Do you know what the penalty is for having a half-breed?" Aro asked.

I nodded.

"Edward has told me," I said softly.

"Edward Cullen?" Aro asked, surprised.

Color rushed up to my face at the thought of Edward, and I nodded vehemently.

"I see. So you know that you will have to stay here a few days for the preparations?" Aro asked.

"You mean, all the vampires coming to watch?" I asked.

"Of course!"

His enthusiasm had me frightened at what he was going to say next.

"We haven't had a burning in so long!"

Tears pricked at the corner of my eyes, and Alexander opened his to stare up at me.

"Mphm?" He gurgled. He seemed to be asking me what was wrong.

"He is awake! May I say hello?" Aro asked.

I held Alexander up, and he looked at Aro very curiously.

"Hello Alexander," Aro said.

Alexander smiled wide even though he didn't have any teeth to show. Aro seemed delighted.

"Remarkable! I have never actually met a lycanthrope half-breed before. Tell me, Bella, would you like to make me a deal?" Aro asked

"What kind of deal are you proposing, Aro?" I asked, narrowing my eyes.

"Leave your half-breed son here with me and my guard. He will grow up and possibly be a good adversary. Then, you go free. If your son proves to be a nuisance, we kill him right then and there."

"I would never-" He held a hand up.

"However, if you refuse, then you will be tied up and burned and I shall take your child anyway. Make your choice."

I stared at Todd and looked around the decorated room.

Who knew that such a room full of such a hell could exist and be beautiful? Tears fell down my face as I knew what decision I was to make.

Forgive me, Edward.

"I will not give you my son. I would rather die than give him up willingly." I said forcefully.

I love you.

Me: Dun dun duh!

Bella: I expected it. I would never give up Alexander.

Edward: Review as you have always done!
