Bella was happy that she got many of the Cullens on her side and voted "yes" for her to join their family but she looked at Carlisle and then remembered Jane from the Volturi...She looked just like Carlisle. Bella frown and looked back at the facts and notice that Jane called Aro "mother" and Alec looks like Aro but in a way looks like his sister.
"Carlisle did Edward tell you that Aro sends his deepest regards?" Bella asked but then the glared that Edward send her told her everything.
"No, he has not." Carlisle said looking at Edward with a indifferent look.
"Carlisle there were twins there and one of them a girl, she looked like you, the same face and color hair and she called Aro mother...must be a joke right?" Bella asked looking at Carlisle noticing his stiff form.
"I don't know Bella but I don't think Aro would joke about something like that." Carlisle said before looking out the window.
"Oh because Edward says I don't know anything because I can't see they way you do because I'm human so I miss a lot of things." Bella said with a shrug.
Everyone glared at Edward who looked down and then everyone looked at Bella.
"You don't deserve her." Rosalie said before walking somewhere else.
"Edward, take Bella home and I am leaving to Italy...there's something I need to do and I am going to talk to you about this when I get home Edward." Carlisle said looking at his family.
"Carlisle...?" Esme said looking at him with hurt.
"I'm sorry Esme but...I need to see this for myself and...I love him, I always have." Carlisle said looked at Esme with sadness before leaving the house.
Everyone just looked at one another and then at Esme who looked down at the ground sadly before looking at them and smiled.
"I always knew his heart belong to some else and not me...He promise me companionship and protection but never love and we never marry in a church we just exchanged vows at the house we were in." Esme said before leaving to go up stairs.
"Poor Esme..." Alice said looking at the others who agreed.
Carlisle had just gotten out of the airplane and rented a car and was now driving down the road leads to Volturaa and parked the car somewhere outside the town's wall before getting out and went to a secret doorway and knocked.
Heidi heard the knocked and opened the door and was shocked that she saw Carlisle.
"Carlisle?" Heidi said looking at him.
"Heidi, can I see Aro?" Carlisle said to her.
"Of course, Master would be happy to see you." Heidi said before letting him come in and closed the door before leading him down the hallway.
Heidi opened the wooden and lead Carlisle into the throne room where Aro let out a gasp even if he didn't want to and Caius glared at him while Marcus looked at him then at his brother.
"Master, you have a guest." Heidi said bowing a little before leaving.
"Carlisle my dear friend, its been a long time." Aro said walking over to him.
"Aro, I came here because I was told something about twins." Carlisle said.
Aro stiffen and looked at him with a pain expression and stopped in front of him before looking at him in the eyes.
"I...you made your choice and I didn't...I didn't want to tell you about them because I loved you enough to let you go." Aro said.
"I did the same, you had a wife and my morals and the way I was raised made me not to get in between a marriage I was already weak enough to do that with you and...I didn't have the strength anymore if I had stayed..." Carlisle said.
Caius and Marcus looked at each other then at their brother and Carlisle wondering if it was just a miscommunication that lead them to break up.
"Carlisle, she was no longer my wife when I had you." Aro said.
"You didn't tell me that you told me she is your wife." Carlisle said.
"I said was." Aro said looking at him.
"You said is, look Aro." Carlisle said handed him his hand and showed him.
"I...Oh, so all this suffering because I made the mistake of saying is instead of was." Aro said.
Caius and Marcus stood up and walked over to them and stopped right next to Aro.
"Brother can you scoot closer to him?" Caius asked.
Aro looked confused but did only for Caius to slap them over their heads making them wince and a big boom went through the room. Demetri and Felix came inside looking at them wondering if something happen.
"Master...Are you alright?" Demetri asked.
"We are fine Demetri, my brother is just an imbecile." Caius said glaring at Aro who was rubbing his head along with Carlisle.
"I am not." Aro said.
"Yes, you are all this time you could have been together but one word, just one word and all this happen," Caius took a deep breath and let it out. "Carlisle I am sorry I haven't liked you for so long but you broke my brother's heart and that was enough for me to want you dead but now I know that it was just you two being imbeciles." Caius finished.
"Uncle Caius?..." The adults turn to see Jane and Alec standing there looking at them.
Carlisle blinked and notice that Bella was right, she looked just like him but didn't Bella said they looked 13 and now they look 8.
"Aro? Bella said they looked 13 not 8." Carlisle said looking at him.
"We didn't expect a guest and forgot to tell Julius to use an illusion on them, they physically look 8 but they are 214 years old and they are aging, slowly but aging." Aro said beckoning the children inside.
Jane and Alec made their way to their mother looking at Carlisle as they made it to their mother's side.
"Hi, you look like me." Jane said to Carlisle.
"No little one, you look like me, I am older then you." Carlisle said.
Jane blinked and looked up at Aro and then back at Carlisle, she looked at him and notice that he was right she looked like him but why.
"I'm 214 years old, and you?" Jane asked.
"I am 362 years old." Carlisle said with a smile.
"Oh,...yeah you're older...momma why does he...why do I look like him?" Jane asked looking at Aro.
"He's your father, sweetheart." Aro answered looking at her then at Carlisle. "Go say hi to him."
"Hi, I'm Jane and if you're father why weren't you here?" Jane asked.
"I didn't know you existed, sorry little one but now that I know I am not going to miss your life or your brother's." Carlisle said looking at Aro.
"Alec, come on, come say hi to father." Jane said looking at her twin who was behind their mother.
"Hi." Alec said slowly walking up to Carlisle.
"Hello, little one." Carlisle said.
"Caius, Marcus can you watch the little ones while me and Carlisle talk." Aro said and walked toward his office but before he left the throne room Marcus showed him the bond that he and Carlisle had.
It's white brother and very strong, you are soul mates. Marcus thought to him before he pulled away.
Aro smiled a little bit and then lead Carlisle to his office where they were going to talk. Aro closed the door and turn to Carlisle with smile.
"I am so sorry Carlisle...I...still love you even after all these years." Aro said.
Carlisle walked over to him and brought him into a hug which Aro returned breathing in Carlisle's scent.
"I have always love you Aro." Carlisle said.
"But what are we going to do, you have a wife...a mate now." Aro said pulling away looking at him.
"No, I didn't marry her through church, the vows we did was in our house with Edward as a witness but he was there against his will. I only promise her companionship and protection but not love because I couldn't lie." Carlisle said.
"I love you, ti amo." Aro said leaning up and kissed Carlisle who kissed back.
I love you too, mio amore. Carlisle let Aro hear his thoughts.
Aro smiled as he heard those words in his head and the pain he felt the moment Carlisle left all those years ago left him and for once in a long time he felt content.
