BAD NEWS

Aro and Alice returned at this point.

"Do you need me Cara," he asked me.

"I always need you," I answered.

"Alice will you entertain Sarah while I take care of our need?" Aro asked her.

Alice smiled in response, "Sure," she said.

Aro took me into the bedroom and we made love.

"Do you feel better now Cara?" he asked.

"A little better but I'm still having a hard time with this pregnancy, Aro," I responded.

"You know it will become more difficult, have you talked to Sarah?"

"Yes and I became very emotional when she told me about herself and why she agreed to do this."

"She is very brave Cara and I want you to be brave for Sarah and for me," he kissed me and we made love again.

"Sarah has never had this pleasure in her life," I said, "And here I have two men, I feel selfish."

"Do you want to give her one then?" he asked smiling.

"I could never give one of you away but I will share her with you until the baby's born, isn't that what you want to do?" I asked.

"Only if you approve Cara and only if you are with me, I couldn't make love to another woman unless you are here by my side, besides if she has never had a man she will probably see this and run away," he pointed to his penis.

"I think you need to teach her how to make love to me and by the time I make love to her on our wedding night, she will be used to me," he said.

"She will still be a virgin, won't she?"

"Yes but Cara, you know my ways," he said.

"Yes I know your ways and I like them," I said seductively.

"There is a problem we need to discuss Cara, and I know you aren't going to be pleased with me," he said warily.

I knew what it was suddenly, it could only be that.

"You aren't going to let me go home are you?" I asked.

"I talked to Carlisle and he agrees that you need to stay until the baby's born," he said.

I hit my fists on his chest and wept, I knew there was nothing I could say, no begging, no pleading to change what had already been decided. He kissed me, forcing me to respond and made love to me as my weeping continued; I was again inconsolable.

Eventually he took me out to Alice and she held me.

"Does Edward know?" I asked.

"He soon will love," she said. "But I'll stay the entire time and later Rosalie will come."

"What about Jenny, won't she need me?" I asked.

Emma and Maggie will take care of her and of course Edward," she said, "You will be able to call her as often as you like and Edward too if you behave."

"Will Edward come?" I asked.

"Of course he'll come as often as he can, but he does have school," she responded.

Sarah looked at me strangely because I was naked, Aro saw her look.

"Sarah, while you are here you will see Isabella naked often and if she teaches you anything, it will be that being naked is easier than getting dressed and undressed; normally she will tell you she doesn't care who sees her naked or even who sees her making love but I just gave her some bad news and she needs a little time to get used to what she must do," he said.

I didn't speak but I knew what was coming next.

"What are you thinking young lady?" he asked me.

I didn't answer because I knew I would start crying again, so I just shook my head and hoped he wouldn't press me; I buried my head in Alice's shoulder.

"I don't think she can speak at the moment," Alice said, ""I'm sure she'll tell you later."

"I think I have things to do," Aro started to get up from where he was sitting.

I started crying loudly and I couldn't stop so Aro took me from Alice and laid me on the bed in the bedroom.

"I think you need some quiet time, were going to leave you alone, please don't leave this room and call me if you need anything Cara," he said.

I nodded and all three left me alone. I'm not sure how long I lay there but then the phone rang, I still didn't feel I could talk but it was persistent

"Hello," I said as I finally answered it.

It was Edward and he was the last person I wanted to talk to.

"Bella love, talk to me," he said.

I started to but then I started sobbing, he waited until I had calmed down.

"I'm sorry Edward, I want to come home, I can't stay here so long, I can't be away from you , I'm not going to stay, I refuse to; I've been compliant with everything but I won't do this," I was adamant.

"How about if I come and stay next weekend?" he asked.

"No! I exclaimed. "I want to come home now," I insisted.

"Bella think about it for a while," he said.

"No I'm through thinking, Edward," I said stubbornly.

Alice came back and took the phone from me and left the room, she returned a few minutes later and I felt a familiar pinch; the next thing I remember was Aro beside me in bed. He didn't talk he just kissed and then made love to me, I didn't fight him, I just submitted but I refused to be passionate with him and I wouldn't talk.

I behaved the same way for a whole week, I wouldn't talk to anyone, I wouldn't shower or get dressed. Alice finally dumped me in the bathtub and washed my hair, when she tried to change my bump, I fought her and she became exasperated with me.

"Bella I've had it with your behavior this week and if you don't straighten up I'll go home and not come back, in fact we'll all abandon you until your wedding day."

"Alice," I finally said, "Please don't leave me, I'll try to be better, I promise."

"Well starting now, I need to put this contraption on and then you'll get dressed and I'll take you to Aro where you will apologize and you will do what Carlisle wants you to do; is that understood?"

"Yes Alice," I said.

I came out of my depression to a certain extent but I missed Edward and my home; however, I made myself realize it would end and so as I had no choice, I made myself behave as much like my old self as possible. When Aro was sure my behavior was improved he brought Sarah back and we bonded this time.

I talked to her about my favorite subject, sex.

"I know you've never slept with a man before but have you ever seen one naked?" I asked her.

"Actually no, and I'm not sure how to go about having sex," she seemed embarrassed.

"Well I'm the expert because I have two men whom I sleep with and I don't mind being naked myself, I think Aro told you that at the beginning of the week when you saw me naked," I said.

"I'm really nervous about being naked in front of anyone," she said nervously.

"I was nervous when I was naked with Edward at first but being in love rids you of your inhibitions," I said, "Are you attracted to Aro?" I asked.

"I'm not sure I should tell you my feelings, you will probably be upset," she said.

"Does that mean you are or is it deeper than that?" I asked, "Don't be afraid to tell me because I know Aro loves me and I won't lose him; that doesn't mean he's not capable of loving another person just like I love two men, has he kissed you?"

"He hasn't actually kissed me but he has mesmerized me and held my face and looked into my eyes," she said.

"And…," I said.

"I think I do love him, I'm certainly attracted to him," she admitted.

"Well that's a start, so we need to progress from there," I said, "Starting tonight we'll all sleep in the same bed, you can wear a nightgown if you want to but I would suggest you don't wear underwear. Aro won't actually go inside you but he has ways to be sexual which I find very pleasant and then there are ways to give him pleasure too," I instructed. "What may be scary to you is seeing him naked when he's aroused, I don't have to give you an anatomy lesson do I?"

"No of course not but I haven't seen a man aroused," she said.

"My first experience was on my honeymoon with Edward, his body was a shock to me at first but now I find him beautiful as I do Aro. Many women prefer to make love in the dark but I feel they're missing out on their beautiful man; I like to touch him and other things but I don't want to gross you out."

"What will he do to me?" she asked.

"He will arouse you," I said.

"How?" she wanted to know.

"He'll kiss you to start and then his hands will find parts of your body which respond to his touch, such as the nipples on your breasts will stand up and then he'll find even more intimate parts of your body which will cause you to feel different sensations of pleasure until you cry out for more.

"Will he stop if I ask him to?" she asked.

"Some men can't stop once you allow them to a certain point but I guess that's why I'll be there to finish off whatever you start, at some point you won't want him to stop," I instructed her.

"I'm very nervous Isabella, will you help me please?" Sarah pleaded.

"Of course I'll be there, if you like you can watch us make love first," I said.

"You don't mind me watching?" Sarah was surprised.

"When I'm making love I'm not concerned who is watching me, I'm just concentrating on making love," I said laughing.

Sarah's food arrived and I watched her eat it, I couldn't believe I used to enjoy that kind of sustenance; how I had changed.

Later Aro came and kissed me gently on the lips.

"How are you feeling Cara," he said.

"Better," I said, "I've been instructing Sarah on the art of love making and I think she's ready to try, she wants to watch us first though," I said.

I grabbed Sarah's hand and pulled her towards us.

"Why don't you kiss Sarah, Aro?" I asked.

He held on to me but pulled Sarah towards him.

"Do you mind?" he asked her.

"I don't think so," she said.

He kissed her gently on her lips.

"Did you like that Sarah?" Aro asked.

"I've never been kissed before and yes it was pleasant," she said.

Next he kissed me more forcefully and my arms wrapped around his neck and I kissed him back in response; I let go of him so he could do the same to Sarah. He kissed her as he had me and she put her hands on his chest but didn't kiss him back.

"Sarah," he said, "Kiss me back,"

With a certain amount of coaxing she did finally kiss him back and she gasped as he became more passionate with her until she pulled away.

"What's wrong Sarah?" he asked.

"I don't know, I wanted more I think," she was confused.

"Are you afraid to give yourself to me?" he asked.

"I've never felt passion but I think that's what I just felt," she sounded embarrassed.

Aro smiled at her, "Let's go to bed."

I put the light on low and helped Sarah slip into bed without showing her naked body to Aro and myself. Aro came in next and then me; Sarah cringed away from Aro so I climbed on top of Aro and pulled her closer, he lay on his back and I pulled her hand to touch him but she pulled away.

"Sarah you need to look at his body at least," I said.

Aro turned towards her and she looked with a fearful expression on her face as he took her hand and made her touch him as she looked.

"Am I such a monster, Sarah?" he asked, "Do you like what you see?"

"Do you mind if I handle you?" she asked.

"No Sarah, I want you to touch and examine me, I'm proud of my body and want you to enjoy it."

She gingerly and softly touched him but was afraid to do more.

"Come Cara make love to me," he said.

"I did thankfully and even though I paid no attention to Sarah, I heard her gasp at our love making; I presumed she was grossed out.

When we were done he stayed inside me as he lay on top of me.

"This is how we usually talk," he told Sarah.

Then he turned his attention to me.

"How are you feeling Cara? Are you still depressed?" he asked.

"I miss Edward and my home but I'm happy enough with you, I think my emotions are calmer now," I replied. "That's my girl, I knew you could work through this, your strong," he said and kissed me, "This is why I love this girl, she pulls herself together and deals with the problem, no matter how difficult," he said to Sarah, "I need you to follow her lead and pull yourself together and deal with the problem at hand," he said.

"I saw how upset she was and I felt for her," Sarah said, "I can understand why she would feel that way."

"We were all worried about her even though it didn't appear so, she needed to work through it herself," Aro said.

He kissed me and I returned his kisses.

"I love you," I said in between kisses, please make love to me again," I wanted him.

He became very passionate with me and very forceful so that I gasped and soon I was crying out.

"Do you want me to stop, Cara?" he asked.

"No I want more," I said.

He gave me much more and I couldn't stop crying out, suddenly he tickled me and we both started laughing and fell apart. He then grabbed Sarah and started kissing her fiercely, she seemed to struggle at first but then relaxed and his hands moved down her body, stimulating her. He released her mouth and then his lips traveled down her body to her breasts, she gasped as he went further and further down; he opened her legs and she didn't stop him, soon she gasped at his stimulation.

"Do you like this Sarah," he asked.

"Yes, yes I do," was her answer.

"Do you want more?" he asked.

"Yes please," she said.

He became more passionate with her but he stimulated himself at the same time, not wanting to go all the way with her at this time.

"Be ready for me Cara," he told me.

A few more minutes and he went inside me, pushing deeper and deeper so that I gasped.

"Am I hurting you my dear?" he asked.

"No I'm fine, I love you," I said.

Finally he rolled over.

"How was that Sarah?" Aro asked.

"It felt very good," she admitted.

"You probably should sleep now Sarah," I said, "Don't mind us,"

She was soon asleep but Aro and I continued until morning.

When Alice came in she found Sarah passed out on the bed and Aro and I kissing each other, I was actually laughing and giggling; she smiled to see me happier.

"So Bella are you feeling better?" she asked.

"Much, much better," I said, "I don't feel quite so emotional and even though I miss Edward and miss home; I've resigned myself to be here no matter how long it entails."

"Good girl, now we can get down to the business of having this baby."

Well I started off getting Sarah ready to conceive the baby but she had never even kissed a man until last night. Edward was the first man I had ever kissed but I don't recall being this naive; she was afraid to kiss Aro," I said.

"Well it looks like you managed to get her naked," Alice said smiling.

"Yes but it's going to take a lot of work to get to the point of actual intercourse," I said.

"Bella, you are the most sexual child I have ever met, not everyone else is so eager," Alice said.

"Yes Isabella, you are always ready for me, I don't have to stimulate you much," Aro said, "You need to be patient with Sarah, she'll come around."

"But I love you," I said trying to kiss him again, "And I love your body, your smell and your taste."

They both laughed at me.
