A/N: Hey, I hope you all enjoyed the last chapter, and as always, I hope you enjoy this one. BTW: Serefina's mom is going to be introduced in this chapter, but she only speaks Italian, so I'm just going to write the English translation to what she says so I don't have to have a super long end author's note; just thought I would let you all know. As always, please remember to review.
Serefina's POV
A few weeks later, Serefina's bruises were healed, and the psychological effects were starting to subside slowly. Demetri and Serefina went down to the courthouse and got married, which disappointed Alice greatly.
"Maybe for your hundredth wedding anniversary we can throw a real wedding," said Alice.
"We'll see," Serefina responded.
"Come on, everyone deserves a proper wedding," Alice countered.
"That doesn't matter to me, as long as we are legally married, I don't care," Serefina replied.
In celebration of their marriage, Serefina and Demetri made love. A few days later everyone was sitting in the living room, just hanging out when the doorbell rang. Carlisle got up to answer the door.
Carlisle's POV
Carlisle went to the front door and opened it. Standing there was Felix.
"Special delivery from Master Aro," said Felix as he dropped a small girl at Carlisle's feet.
And then Felix was gone. Carlisle looked down at the child.
"Mama!" she cried.
Carlisle bent down and picked up the little girl. She squirmed in his arms. He carried her down to the living room.
Serefina's POV
A few minutes later Carlisle came back into the living room. He was holding a small girl that looked to be about two. Serefina instantly recognized the little girl as her youngest sister; the only way she recognized her sister was from photographs. Serefina got up off the couch and walked over to Carlisle.
"Angel?"
"You know her?" Carlisle asked.
"Yes, this is my sister," Serefina answered. She gently took her sister from Carlisle and sat back down on the couch.
"Mama!" Angel cried.
"It's okay sweetie, I'm right here."
Angel looked up at Serefina. "Mama!"
Esme got up and walked outside.
"Can you hold her still while I check her over? Felix literally dropped her off. Something that may not be a problem now could turn into a problem later," said Carlisle.
Serefina held Angel still and she squirmed in Serefina's arms. "Mama!"
"It's okay sweet heart."
After a few minutes Carlisle asked: "Can you see if you can get her horse away from her? I can't check her over fully with her holding it."
"I'll try, but I can't promise," Serefina replied. For several minutes she struggled with Angel to get her horse, finally Serefina got it and Angel started screaming at the top of her lungs. Carlisle finished checking Angel over and then backed off.
"She's fine, her rear end is just bruised," said Carlisle.
Serefina gave Angel's horse back to her."Come on, let's put you down for a nap," said Serefina.
Just then Esme came in. "I found this outside; I'm assuming Felix dropped it and I'm assuming it's hers."
Serefina recognized the diaper bag as her own when she was Angel's age.
"It looks older than you," said Demetri.
"It might be," Serefina replied.
"Your mother didn't get a new one for each of you?" Esme asked.
"No, she couldn't afford to," Serefina answered.
"Mama."
"Come on Angel, let's put you down for a nap," Serefina said.
Demetri and Serefina took Angel upstairs to lay her down for a nap. It took a little while, but finally Angel fell asleep.
"You're really good with kids," said Demetri.
"Thanks, I kind-of had to be since I have five younger brothers and sisters," Serefina responded.
"Even though you didn't have a lot, it sounds like you had a good childhood," he replied.
"I did," she confirmed.
"Do you want to be a mother?" he asked.
"Yes, I always have," she answered.
"I'm sorry that I can't…" Demetri trailed off.
"What?" Serefina questioned.
"Renesmee."
"Yes. What about her?"
"She's half human and half vampire," Demetri said.
"Yes, I know that. What does that have to do with anything?" she replied.
"Bella was human when she had Renesmee," he responded.
"So?" she inquired. She didn't know what he was getting at.
"Come here," Demetri said. Demetri led Serefina into the next room. "Lie down." Serefina lied down on the bed. "You trust me right?"
"If I didn't trust you, would I let you sleep with me, and would I have married you?"
"I see your point," Demetri said. He pulled Serefina's shirt up."This may be a bit cold." Demetri laid his ear on her stomach and she shivered. Demetri listened for a moment and then jumped back and hissed. Serefina sat up.
"What's wrong?" she asked.
"I hear two heart beats," Demetri answered.
"What?" Serefina questioned.
"One in your chest and a smaller one in your stomach," he said.
"Are you sure?" she inquired.
"Yes, but it's okay, I'll talk to Carlisle to see if he can get you into the hospital or if he can get the things he needs, we'll get the baby out," he responded.
"No!" she exclaimed.
"Serefina, the baby is a literal leech, and the baby grows so fast that within two months' time you'll be ready to have the baby and even then there's the possibility that you won't survive the pregnancy," he said.
"Bella did," she replied.
"Barely, and she was very lucky. I don't want to lose you," he responded.
"You're not going to lose me. I'll do whatever it takes to keep me and the baby healthy," she said.
"Within two or three weeks you're going to have to be in a hospital bed and you're going to have to drink blood for the baby and even then there's the chance that the baby won't let you eat for yourself. I'll make it up to you Serefina, I promise, we can adopt or whatever. Please Serefina, I don't want to lose you. If you die, I'll be following you shortly. I can't live without you, I don't know how I've made it this long," he responded.
"I say we talk to Carlisle." Serefina's voice had an edge to it.
"Carlisle, can you come up here please?" Demetri asked.
Moments later Carlisle came into the room. "Yes, what is it?"
"Serefina's pregnant," Demetri said.
"I'm not getting rid of the baby," Serefina stated firmly.
"Carlisle please try to convince her it's for the best," Demetri responded.
"The decision is up to you two, but Serefina, if you choose to go through with this, it's not going to be easy," Carlisle replied.
"Yes, I'm aware of that," she said.
"And there's a chance you won't survive the pregnancy, within two months' time you'll be ready to give birth, and your stomach will be as hard as our skin, and it won't be a normal birth, the baby will have to be bitten out. When the baby is born it will have some of Demetri's characteristics, its skin will be hard, and if you have a boy, it will be venomous, but if you have a girl, it won't be. In a few weeks you'll be confined to a hospital bed except if you have a…human moment. So start thinking about which room you want to be in. Bella chose the living room because she didn't want a hospital-like environment. Most, if not all, of your ribs will break. Are you sure you want to go through with this?" Carlisle responded.
"Yes, I'm sure," Serefina replied.
"All right, I'll start making the necessary preparations," Carlisle said before leaving.
"You look tired," Demetri observed.
"I am a little bit," Serefina responded.
"Then lie down for a little bit," Demetri said. Serefina lied down and Demetri climbed in next to her. "I don't want you mad at me."
"I'm not mad, just upset," Serefina replied.
"You know I just want to keep you safe. Edward wanted the same thing when he found out that Bella was pregnant," he responded.
"I know," she said.
Demetri managed to get his head under her arm. "I love you."
Serefina laughed. "You're just a big kid. You know that?"
"I think Emmett has rubbed off on me. He is the biggest kid ever to walk this earth," he responded.
Emmett poked his head in. "I do have an eternity to grow up."
"But I don't think you will, but I wouldn't have you any other way," said Serefina.
"All right Emmett, leave. Serefina and I are having some quality time together," Demetri replied.
Emmett left. Serefina yawned. Demetri repositioned them so her head was resting on his chest.
"Go on, get some sleep."
A few minutes later Serefina was fast asleep. Sometime later she woke up.
"Hey sleepy head."
Serefina stretched. "How long have I been asleep?"
"About ten hours," Demetri answered.
"What?" she exclaimed.
"I'm kidding, it was really about two hours," he said.
Suddenly Serefina's phone rang. They looked at each other and she answered her phone. "Hello?"
"Did you get my gift?" Aro asked.
"Put him on speaker phone," Demetri mouthed.
Serefina put Aro on speaker. "Aro, let them go."
"So you've figured out that I have the rest of your family," Aro responded.
"Let them go," Serefina repeated.
"Did I interrupt something?" Aro questioned.
"No, you didn't" Demetri answered.
"Hello Demetri," Aro greeted.
"Let them go, they haven't done anything to you," Demetri said.
"Serefina?"
"Mother. Aro, let me speak to her," said Serefina.
"All right, here you go," Aro replied.
"Serefina?"
"Mother, are you all right?" Serefina
"What's going on? Where are you?" her mother asked.
"I'm in England, I'm fine," Serefina answered.
"Angel?" her mother questioned.
"She's here with me, she's fine," Serefina said.
"Take care of her," her mother responded.
"I will, I promise," Serefina replied.
"See she's fine," Aro said.
"Let them go!" Serefina exclaimed.
"Good-bye."
The line went dead. Serefina shut her phone.
This was supposed to be a happy day, but now….Why does Aro have to ruin everything?
