Ideas

A POV
I was watching Bella finally eat when Carlisle took me to one side.

'I've figured a few things out. The medication should wear off in about an hour, we can either give her some more or she could sleep then. Another thing, you're not going to like this but... if anymore venom enters her system the medication will be useless and she'll feel all the pain.'

'You can't possibly be serious!'

He nodded. I looked over to Bella; this meant we had to be very, very careful.

'You're needed in the throne room.'

Caius's voice rang across the room, Bella piped up from across the room.

'Can I come?'

'Of course you can filia, let me carry you.'

We arrived at the throne room and Bella sat on the stairs in her usual spot.

'She's back.'

I heard the same two words echo across the room and decided to speak.

'Indeed, Bella has returned to us.'

Everyone looked very happy at this news. Caius cleared his throat.

'I won't beat about the bush; there are newborns in Italy.'

An audible gasp swept through the room.

'Therefore, some members of the guard will need to sort them out.'

I had an idea.

'Filia, maybe it would be a good idea for you to go. You've been cooped up in here for so long; it would be good for you to get out for a while.'

'I don't know, do you think I would be able to cope?'

'I think you could. You don't have to it was just a suggestion...'

'I think it's a good idea.' She smiled. 'I'd like to get out for a while.'

Instantly Felix stepped forward.

'I would like to go.'

Caius smirked.

'Of course Felix, who else would like to go?'

Jane and Alec offered, as did Demetri. I was glad that she was going with them, she was close to them and I knew they would protect her. After deciding that they should go in a week I took Bella back upstairs.

'I'm sorry filia, the pain will come back fully soon.'

'I know, I can feel it getting worse.'

Felix came in a few minutes after she started chanting in Latin. His face contorted in pain when he recognised some of the words.

'Is there anymore of that medication? Or do you need to sleep?'

'I should sleep before we go...'

I caught on.

'I'll get some more, Felix stay with her please.'

'Of course.'

F POV
Aro came back very quickly with the medication, she took it and we sat with her.

'Bella, I've got an idea.'

She looked up at me.

'I was thinking, maybe after we've dealt with the newborns, we could go away together. Like a little holiday for just us.'

Aro nodded.

'That's a good idea, on one condition.'

'What?'

'You have to come back.'

'Aro, I assure you then I have no intention of taking Bella away from you, so to speak. She's your daughter and I respect that.'

'I know and I trust you to look after her.'

Bella smiled at us.

'I'm glad you two are on good terms.'

Aro moved her hair behind her ear.

'That's good, because we want you happy. Everyone here does.'

She beamed and kissed me on the cheek.

'So where were you thinking of?'

'I don't know, somewhere romantic.'

Aro's expression was thoughtful.

'How about Venice?'

Bella's face lit up.

'Oh Felix I've always wanted to go to Venice, we could go on one of those boat things!'

'Gondolas.'

I laughed at her enthusiasm.

'I'd love to go to Venice with you Bella.'

She kissed me.

A week later Bella had gotten some sleep, packed some clothes and generally gotten everything sorted out. I overheard her talking with Aro.

'I will miss you angelus.'

'As I'll miss you, but it's not like you'll be going away forever.'

'I know, truth be told I'm looking forward to it.'

'And so you should, have fun filia.'

'I will angelus.'

I knocked on the door.

'That's Felix. Goodbye filia, I'll see you soon.'

'Goodbye angelus.'

She opened the door and we made our way outside. She cried a little bit.

'You must think I'm childish.'

'Not at all, I know you're very close to your father.'

We met up with the others who all greeted Bella. Jane had a happiness about her that I hadn't seen since Bella was stolen from us. I didn't want to remember those times; they didn't matter now she was here.

'Are we ready to get going then?'

I picked Bella up and we ran towards the newborns. When we arrived we found there to be fewer of them than we expected.

'So what do you propose we do?'

B POV
I stayed out of the conversation about what to do about the newborns. Felix was in what I like to call 'guard mode'. Jane's voice had that distinct edge to it that she uses when she needs something done.

'There aren't many of them, I vote we observe them and find out their intentions.'

'But their intentions could have consequences.'

There were a few moments of silence. I decided to say something, even if it did make me sound stupid.

'Why don't we just ask? If their intentions are fine then they'll think nothing of it.'

There were another few moments of silence.

'That's a stupid idea I'll shut up now...'

'No it's not, that could actually work.'

'We just need to be careful about how we approach them.'

Felix, who had been fairly quiet throughout this discussion, spoke up.

'Maybe we should observe them for a little longer, just in case they seem particularly volatile.'

I looked up at his strong, kind face. He has a big build that should be intimidating but I couldn't see him as anything but reassuring. I knew he could, and would, protect me. He was more than that though, he was... sexy. For the first time I realised that I was very physically attracted to him. When we had lay so close together I had been so consumed by my emotional love for him that I hadn't paid attention to how my body felt. I revelled in this new feeling, it made me feel... mature, like a woman. I chuckled quietly to myself as I realised I wasn't a child anymore. He put his arm around me.

'What's funny beautiful?'

I blushed, not only at the compliment but at the ideas running through my head.

'We'll talk later, yeah?'

He nodded and Jane smirked.

'Us three can handle observing these newbies if you two need some privacy.'

Felix scooped me up into his arms and we went to the little hotel where I would be sleeping while we were here. When I had dumped my backs he embraced me from behind, his lips at my ear. I sighed contentedly.

'I'm a woman.'

'Yes, a very beautiful, strong woman. What is it you wanted to talk about?'

'I realised how much I love you... physically, as well as emotionally.'

I turned around and I stared at his chest. He tilted my chin up towards him gently.

'I want you Felix, every part of you. I didn't realise it before but...'

I kissed him quickly before finishing my sentence.

'I'm ready.'

He cupped my face in both his hands and grinned from ear to ear.

'You can decide where and when it's all up to you.'

I considered this for a while.

'Not tonight Fix, okay?'

He nodded and we got into the bed. We kissed passionately, knowing that we would become one soon.

'How about Venice? We'll be in that little place Aro arranged for us and there'll be no one to disturb us.'

I smiled and leaned over him.

'Well, that would make our romantic holiday very romantic.'

I fell asleep with my head on his chest and his loving arms around me.

AN – So things are heating up! Please review, it really makes my day when I get some. Just in case anyone's interested there will be a new chapter of my other fic (Ars Gratia Artis) up soon.
