A/N: I'm so sorry about the mistake that I made last chapter! Her name is still June, but when I wrote it I was not only sick, but I was also working on yet another story. Again, I apologize for my mistake. Anyway, onto the next chapter~
There were days during the first week that she woke up from her sleep screaming her head off, clutching the sheets of the bed as if they were her only lifeline until Alec appeared by her side, ready to give her the blood that she needed so desperately. As time went on, she needed more and more blood to satisfy their son, and the Volturi had to readily supply her with the blood. It came to the point where they also used animal blood just to keep the baby from hurting June.
There were some days, though, that the baby didn't bother her. They were rare and far between, but they happened. When that happened, she and Alec laid side by side, his hand on her stomach, as if he couldn't believe that this was happening. He had a child and a mate, and no matter how much danger his mate was in, his heart still warmed at the prospect of having a family.
Suddenly, June gasped, making Alec look at her in question. She grinned at Alec. "Did you feel that?"
"Feel what?" Alec questioned, removing his hand from her stomach at once, afraid that he'd done something to hurt her or the baby.
June shook her head, taking his hand and putting it back on her stomach. "Come on, sweetheart." She cooed gently, and Alec slowly realized that she was talking to the baby that was growing inside of her stomach. "Do it again for Daddy."
Daddy. She'd called him Daddy. Another surge of warmth covered his unbeating heart, a small smile teasing the corners of his lips. It was then that he felt pressure on his hand, almost like a tiny foot... His eyes widened and he looked at June for an explanation, who grinned at him. "He just kicked. He likes when you're around, Alec. He doesn't do it for anyone else."
Alec smiled a genuine smile this time, one that was gentle and full of love as he gazed down at her growing stomach. His son was in there. His flesh and blood. Speaking of which, he looked up at June once more. "We need to talk about names."
"I actually was going to suggest that." June replied, pulling out a paper from the table beside the bed. "I narrowed it down to a few choices, ones that I thought were fitting for him."
"Alright." Alec replied, shrugging his shoulders. "Go on, then."
"Alcinder is the first one. It means strong." June began to list eagerly, showing Alec just how much thought she'd put into it. Her grin showed a dimple in the side on her left cheek, making Alec smile lightly. "Helier, which means joyful. Alexander, which means protector of men. Aiden means little fire, and finally, Macario, which means blessed. What do you think?"
"Which one's your favorite?" Alec shot back.
June shook her head, crossing her pale arms over her chest stubbornly. "I ask you first. I'd be happy with any of those names. I just want to know which one you like best."
Alec paused, thinking carefully about it. His son certainly was strong, perhaps joyful, probably a protecter, and definitely blessed. But he knew that there was only one that really described his son. "Aiden." Alec decided with an affirmative nod. "It suits him."
June's lips spread into a grin to reveal pearly white teeth. "I think so, too." She looked down at her stomach, cooing, "What do you think about that, Aiden?" She felt another kick and she laughed, looking over at Alec. "I think that our little fire agrees with you."
The glass shattered to the floor at Alice's feet, making Jasper come to her side immediatley. The whole scene was a complete Deja Vu, with Edward sitting at the piano along with Renesmee, although she'd grown from how she'd looked before. She looked to be about thirteen now.
"What's wrong, Alice?" Jasper questioned her gently. "What did you see?"
"The Volturi heard about you telling Charlie, Bella." Alice revealed, her eyes wide as fear rippled through her body.
"But we had to tell him." Jacob interjected, angry at the fact that the Volturi were going to threaten them once more. "When he saw Renesmee growing that fast, what were we supposed to tell him?"
"They don't know that, and in case you haven't noticed, they won't be listening to our reasoning." Rosalie spat.
"They're coming for us again." Alic continued. "But..."
"But what?" Edward prodded, wanting to know just how serious this situation was. He wanted to keep his family safe at all costs.
"In the vision, they had a child with them." Alice continued, looking nervous. "A hybrid child, just like Renesmee. He wasn't very old. He looked to be about Renesmee's age that she was when we first encountered the Volturi when the snow stuck to the ground."
"Aro made a hybrid child?" Edward questioned, standing up from the piano bench. "With who, and for what reason? There's no gain from him creating a hybrid child."
"It's not his child, Edward." Alice replied. "He didn't believe that the child would be gifted enough. He chose someone else."
"Alec." Bella breathed, fear running through her entire body as Alice nodded sadly.
"He picked Alec because he knew that the child would most likely be gifted." Alice replied. "I can't tell if he is, but if they brought him with them, then he must be gifted. There was also another woman walking with them, so I have to assume that she's Alec's mate."
"So they're coming for us, and they've got themselves a tougher army." Bella confirmed with a nod of her head. "They have Alec's child, who sure to be gifted because he's his child, and his mate. Knowing Aro, he wouldn't just keep her in the guard to please Alec. She has to have a gift of some kind."
"She was standing near the front, between Alec and Jane, with her son walking between her and Alec." Alice said, playing with the ring on her finger, trying to ease her nerves. "She has to have an extraordinary gift to be there, and so does her child. Aro wouldn't put them there unless they were incredibly gifted."
"So now we're not only looking at Aro and his entire guard," Jacob growled, "But we're also looking at the two creepy twins who can take away your senses and bring you to your knees in pain, as well as a kid who most likely has some terrible gift and his wife, who also has some terrifying gift."
"We're going to have to ask for our friends' help again, Carlisle." Esme spoke up.
"I'm not sure if they'll come." Carlisle sighed.
"Well, we know that Dracula One and Two will definitely come." Jacob supplied. "Benjamin seemed pretty geared up to help out as well. We could probably recruit him."
"The Denali will surely help us." Edward added. "As will the Irish coven."
"The Nomads, too." Jasper added. "They'll definitely come and fight with us."
"We can talk some sense into Aro." Alice decided with a nod of her head. "It won't be as easy as last time, but we need to try for Renesmee's sake."
