I was listening to music with Edward at the Cullen's house when there was a knock at the door. Carlisle opened it, stood on the doorstep was Aro, along with most the Volturi.
'What can we do for you?' Carlisle asked coldly.
'We want Bella's baby, hand it over' Aro ordered,
'That's impossible'
'Don't lie to me Carlisle' Aro told him
'I'm not lying' Carlisle replied
'Yes you are, we know Bella is going to give birth today'
'Yes she is, but she hasn't yet, and anyway, you're not having her baby' Carlisle's voice was hard
'We'll wait, we are having that baby'
'You are not' my voice shocked Aro.
'My dear, you must be confused, we sent a letter and Jane to come and tell you we are' Aro smiled a humourless smile, I smiled back.
'I know, and we chose to fight you instead' Edward appeared next to me.
'You know you have no chance against us don't you? But if you chose to fight, then we'll fight you before we get the baby, but we will have the baby' and then they left.
Jane came to the back door ten minutes later, we had just three hours before I gave birth, the Cullen's ran to the clearing were the fight was going to happen. Jane and I stayed at the Cullen house.
'Jane?' I asked
'Yes Bella?'
'Why are you helping us? I know you said it was to get power, but you could do that without stopping drinking human blood, not that I mind you stopping drinking human blood' my words came out in a rush
'They lied to you in Italy' she said quietly
'What? But…' Jane cut me off
'It wasn't Louisa who hade a baby before, it was me' she told me. I was shocked into silence, Jane smiled before saying
'It happened about three hundred years ago, I was a newborn in Italy, that's were I met Caius, He was charming, I fell in love with him, but I missed my home, I wanted to see my parents, that's how I became pregnant, during the pregnancy, the Volturi showered me with gifts, treated me like a queen, made me think they were good, but when the baby was born, they took it away from me, not letting me even hold it, or find out what gender it was, I only stayed on with the Volturi because they threatened to kill my baby if they left, they told me it was in a cell hidden in the castle somewhere and if I went looking for it they would kill it, I believed them it was only after I returned from warning you that I found out the truth, Aro was very angry that night, he was cursing at the top of his voice, saying things like "We'll have to rip it to shreds and burn it like the last one" I was confused, I didn't think that anyone else had given birth as a vampire except me, and then I realised, Aro could read my thoughts, he knew the reason I was there at all was because of the baby, so he lied, and told me they would kill my baby if I left, he wanted my talent, it could come in useful for the Volturi, and I did everything he asked because I loved that baby, that is why I am helping you Bella, I don't want you to have to go through he same things I did' After Jane had finished her story, I only had time to smile at her before the pain started.
