CPOV

It had been several days since Rosebud came to live with us and nothing had happened. I was beginning to think that she was save and that we wouldn't have to protect her much longer, until Alice had a vision of the Volturi coming to war with us. As Alice had told us the vision I could see Edward cringing as he remembered it himself. Obviously he had seen something he didn't want to see.

"It's weird". Alice's voice sung out to the rest of us. "All I saw was that the Volturi came with many men and declared war between them and our family, then something flashed and Aro smiled holding out his hand to someone. Then it just went black". I had many suspicions and theories, but they all took too long to explain so I just went up to my study to think.

After about an hour of thinking I came up with a plan. As soon as I did Edward came growling into my study screaming on the top of his lungs, which probably hurt everyone's sensitive ears.

"NO"! "WE ARE NOT GOING ALONG WITH THAT STUPID, MASOCHIST PLAN"!

Now I have to admit, those words coming from my son hurt.

"Edward, if you just hear me out for a sec…."

"I SAID NO"!

"Edward, I understand you do not want to lose her, but that plan will have to be used in order to save our family".

"CARLISLE I WILL NOT GO ALONG WITH YOUR PLAN I DO NOT WANT TO LOSE HER"!

"Lose who"? Emmett always interrupted.

"Bella, Emmett, Bella and Renesmee". How could I have said that out loud? Now everyone was going to come up here and battle it out. Great.

"What going on Carlisle"? Was what I heard from the other five members of our family, and Rosebud too!

After all the explaining of the plan, we all finally got Edward to agree. Although we did lose a very nice antique table in the process.

I was furious. How could Carlisle think such things? I was not going to let my wife and child be put in harms way. Never would I let that happen again is what I told myself, but after being tackled onto the antique dining table by Emmett and Jasper, I decided to go along with the plan, but only because I had no chance up against Rosebud.

I walked - at vampire speed - from Bella's and mine little cottage to the house, and back again deep in thought. Something about the timing wasn't right, and then Alice's vision had been cut off abruptly. Something wasn't quit right about this.

I have to admit I wasn't too happy about the plan, but hey, then again I was all for it. The plan was that when the Volturi arrived at the clearing - again - I would stand in front of the family and protect them with my shield, while Renesmee stood beside me giving me an incentive to keep the shield up, farther and for longer.

"I just love the fact that my daughter gets to stand by me while we get to fight the Volturi". My voice dripped with sarcasm. I had been in Rosebud's room talking to her about it for the last hour and a half.

"It's okay Bella, with me standing at your side, no one will touch your daughter".

"Wait, I thought you had to stay hidden so the Volturi wouldn't immediately attack us".

"Oh, they won't see me, but I'll still be with you guys in the clearing".

"You mean your going to be invisible"? She nodded. Cool, I wish I could do that. She giggled.

"In due time Bella, in due time". And she walked into her bathroom. I was baffled. Did she just tell me that I could learn to become invisible? Wow, was the only coherent thought I had for a long time.

"I love you Bella, I won't let them hurt you". I was laying in Edward's arms as comfy as could be, when he started up again. Could it get anymore frustrating! I was so sick and tired of listening to him complain about how he wouldn't let anything happen, and I wasn't even worrying!

"Edward, I am not worried. You don't need to tell me that every five minutes. I love you too but please, you're the only one that is worried". Wait, how could a say something like that to my husband?! I watched as his face turned from worry to complete shock, then hurt. Damn, I need to work on my temper. Yes, even past the newborn stage I still had part of it. His eyes went soft and his voice broke when he spoke.

"Bella, I love you, I'm sorry that I'm worried but I can't stand loosing you. My world does not exist without you. Anyone else I can live without, except for you. I mean it". I did not just hear him say that he could live without any one else as long as I was here. I tried very hard to ignore that, but I just couldn't in the end. I glared at him and shoved his arms away from me. He looked at me with pain carved so deep in his face I almost made love to him to make it up. Almost.

"B-Bella, w-what did I do". His voice shook as he broke into dry sobs. I felt so guilty. He was only ever this emotional when we were alone and something bad was happening.

"think about what you just said". I snapped at him, continuing to glare. I watched his expression changed as he thought about how else his words could have been taken. He wrapped his arms around me again.

"Of course I meant Renesmee too. Bella I'm sorry it's just I don't like the thought of this happening. I love you too much Bella. Too much to let anything happen". I smiled. The pang of guilt was still there, but I smiled.

"I love you too" I replied, and showed him just how much.

Rosebud's POV

This was all going so well. I had received Alice's vision long before she had, and edited out the stuff that would give me away. Now, all I had to do was convince Edward nothing was wrong, and then test Bella's shield. I knew it was strong because I had trouble reading her thoughts. Yeah, I could hear them clear as day, but it took a lot of concentration. I have no doubt though I'll be able to break it when the time comes.

I heard someone pass in the hallway singing:

Walk, n' walk, n' walk, n' STOMP.

Wish I could do the Edward run.

Then I would be real quick too,

So I could get home in time for Scooby-Doo.

I laughed silently at that while laying on my bed drifting into a meditative sleep.
