The conversation I had with my mom lasted for a lot longer than I had wanted it to. She asked every question that I hadn't thought she would ask. She pointed out flaws in my story that I didn't want to realize were there. She was being my mom; she wanted to make sure her baby was okay. As much as I appreciated what she was doing, I really didn't want her ask all the important 'parenty' questions. The more she asked, the more I had to lie to her and she always knew when I was lying.

I stumbled through the questions so poorly that it didn't take long for the queens to appear, none wearing anything unless I were to count the towels they were all using to dry their hair. All three of them had amused smiles on their faces as I struggled to answer my moms' questions while trying not to sound like I was lying; needless to say, I failed. Not long after they appeared next to me, they were helping me answer the questions my mom tossed out at me. Eventually though, since my mom wasn't' really buying anything I was telling her, Sulpicia got me to hand over the phone. I couldn't recall how she managed to come up with an excuse to talk to my mom, but she did and when the phone was eventually handed back to me, all I had to do was agree to what Sulpicia had told my mom and I was good.

It took a while, but I was able to eventually get Renee off the phone. I had to make several promises that I would tell her next time I was going to do something big. I also had to make several more promises that I would talk to her more often, call more often; I wasn't really looking forward to it, Renee liked to talk too much on the phone.

"At least you know she cares." Didyme muttered just after I hung up with Renee.

"Yeah, there's that." I said with a sigh, I was already planning on ways I could get out of having to talk with her.

Sulpicia held her hand out to me and without having to be prompted, I readily put my hand in hers and she lifted me off the chair. Dora moved behind me and started to remove my clothes. I didn't even try to resist Dora's attempts, although, her lips on my neck definitely would have convinced me to let her have her way if I had tried to resist.

"As much fun as I'm sure you three are about to get into, why don't we let Bella eat lunch and then we can talk with her about some important things." Didyme said. I looked briefly at her from over Sulpicia's shoulder and I could help but pout at her. Dora had paused from undressing me, but making sure that the shirt she was working on, had managed to get completely torn off me. "Don't pout at me; we really had planned on talking with you." Didyme said with a smirk.

"Plans change all the time Didyme." Dora growled as she placed light kisses along my newly bared shoulder.

"Yes, but if I know us, which I do, we would keep pushing out the talk for sex, which normally I would be okay with, but we really do need to talk." Didyme argued.

"She has a point." Sulpicia said as her fingers slowly traced my stomach, very slowly inching closer and closer towards my chest.

"Yeah well, my point is having our mate, naked, in bed and having sex with us." Dora said as she pushed her into mine, which in turn caused me to get pushed into Sulpicia. All three of them were still naked, so being pressed in between two of them definitely kept me fully distracted and unable to participate in the conversation.

"Or we cannot talk and never have answers. I really want to point out to you my dear Dora; you were the first to ask Dora." Didyme said, her voice showing that she was losing patience. I could just imagine that the three of them argued a lot in all their years of ruling.

I had buried my head into Sulpicia's shoulder, I couldn't say when I had done that, but I was able to pinpoint Dora's hands and body, leaving mine. I couldn't feel anyone touching me, aside from Sulpicia.

"Fine, but just know that you owe me." Dora said after she pulled away. Didyme only scoffed, seemingly not concerned about 'owing' Dora anything.

"Bella, if you are agreeable of course, why don't you go eat lunch with Gianna, and the three of us will get dressed and then we'll meet in an office someplace and talk. Is that okay?" Sulpicia asked as she gently nuzzled my head.

"Sure." I answered.

Even though it was understood that I would go eat lunch now, while they got dressed, I still didn't move away from Sulpicia. For her part, Sulpicia seemed more than happy to keep me in her arms. I felt her start to move her arms up and down my back, gently scratching her nails against my skin.

"If you two don't stop, I'll have no choice but to join." Dora remarked. "I can smell how excited you both are."

My face went bright red; I always seem to forget it inopportune times that they have super senses. Even with the embarrassment of them being able to smell how excited I was, I still didn't let go of Sulpicia. I didn't even try to move away; and neither did she.

"That means, Bella go eat." Didyme ordered as she gently pulled me away from Sulpicia, which elicited a small growl from Sulpicia. "Oh hush, no one wants to hear it." Didyme told Sulpicia just as Dora tossed a long, dark dress, on top of Sulpicia's head. "We'll get dressed and we'll either meet you there or meet you in an office, depending on how long it takes Sulpicia and Dora to both calm down."

"Alright, I'll see you guys later, I guess." I mumbled as I lazily got redressed

"I'd rather see you now." I heard Dora say as I walked out the door, I was more than confident that she was pouting.

Jane was right outside the door and started to lead the way towards lunch. I mentally sighed at the petite blonde. If she was going to be my personal guard, which I was pretty sure she was going to continue to be, I would really need to work on her talking skills. And her friend making skills, those definitely needed worked on.

We eventually met up with Gianna who had just laid out lunch. During lunch we, Gianna and I, not Jane, talked about random things. She talked a little about rumors she had heard about different vampires. Gianna wasn't much of a gossip, but she did hear a lot of things and since I wasn't up to talking too much, she decided to entertain me with some more humorous tales she had heard. Most of her tales stared Heidi and Felix; that definitely didn't surprise me. I had thought those two would have had to have gotten into a lot trouble at one point or another.

Once we were done eating, I helped Gianna clean up lunch and followed Jane back out in the castle hallways. I was starting to feel both anxious and excited for the conversation to come. I knew exactly what they wanted to talk about and I had an answer for them; I was happy about that. What I was anxious about, was how they were going to take the news. I had no idea what their thoughts on the matter were. I mean, I had a general idea, and I could probably take a good guess, but I hadn't actually sat down and talked with them about it. I really needed to with them about it, and now they were making it happen.

We found the queens in an office near where our bedrooms were all located. All three queens were fully dressed now, all of them wearing old fashioned looking dresses. I was more used to seeing Dora wearing old fashioned men's clothing, tailored to her form of course, so it was a bit odd to see her wearing a dress.

"I can wear dresses too, young one." Dora said with a smirk, obviously catching on to what I was thinking. Once I had walked through the threshold of the room, Jane had closed the room and I imagined left to go do whatever it is that she wanted to while not on any specific mission for the Volturi.

"Usually only when we force you to." Sulpicia remarked with a smirk.

"You didn't force me into this one, did you?" Dora spit back, which caused me to giggle a little. I love watching those two go at it. "Don't you laugh Bella; I've noticed your preference to jeans over skirts as well. Just wait until these two force you to wear a dress." That made me stop smiling.

"It's not like we don't reward you for wearing the thing all day and not destroying it." Didyme said with a roll of her eyes. "We just like to get dressed up on occasion, especially when we meet with older vampires from ancient times. We are the Volturi queens, and we should dress like it."

I walked over to the fourth empty chair while they continued to talk. The four chairs were arranged in a circle like fashion so that we could all look at each other as we talked. There was an end table next to my chair that had a pitcher of ice water and an empty glass next to it.

"Exactly, we're the Volturi queens." Dora said with a wave of her hand. "You would think at my age, I would be able to wear what I want, when I want to."

"If you had it your way, we would be naked far more often than not." Sulpicia dryly commented, though it seemed she was fighting a smile.

"Your libido seems to have only gotten stronger with your age." Didyme remarked. "If you had your way we would never leave our bed."

"We wouldn't have to be limited to just our bed." Dora remarked. "Plus, we have Bella now, and I know for a fact she's never had sex outside of the bedroom. Just wait until you do Bella, it's a rush."

I couldn't help but momentarily avert my eyes in embarrassment. Dora had always seemed like the one who was into sex than the others. Don't get me wrong, the other two are definitely very sexual, it's just it seems like Dora would be content with having sex all the time. The other two seemed to be able to reel in their libidos a lot faster than Dora, Didyme more so than Sulpicia.

"Enough, we're actually here for a reason. When we're done talking about the important things, then we can show Bella how much fun sex in an office can be." Sulpicia said with a smirk directed at me.

"I can work with that." Dora said as she relaxed into her chair.

"Of course you can, it involves sex." Sulpicia said, her smirk now directed at Dora.

"Don't even start again you two. Let's try to keep on track." Didyme said with a sigh. "Bella, as you know, we're currently breaking one of our biggest rules with you."

"Which, we don't mind doing in the least." Sulpicia quickly added. "It's just, if we can't follow our own rules, how can we expect others to?"

"You want to know my thoughts on when I want to be turned; right?" I quickly asked.

"Exactly." Dora said with a nod.

"We don't want you to feel pressured about it though." Didyme added quickly.

"You can turn whenever you want; but you will be turned." Sulpicia said in a very serious tone.

"I want to be turned." I could tell that was one of the things they were worried about. For some reason, and I wasn't sure and I wasn't going to ask, they seemed to have thought I wouldn't want to be turned. I knew for fact that there was no way I wouldn't be turned; I wanted to be with them for as long as they walked this Earth. All three of them looked absolutely relieved to hear what I just said. "When did you guys want me to be turned?" I asked before any of them could comment about my proclamation.

The three of them looked at each other for a few seconds and I was sure that they were having a very brief conversation. It didn't bother me that they were talking amongst themselves and leaving me out of the conversation because somehow I just knew that they were just figuring out the best way to tell me their answer.

"Honestly?" Sulpicia started with a rhetorical question. "We want you turned right away. We want you to be a vampire right now so that we don't have worry as much about you getting hurt. It will give us a better peace of mind that we really have you forever."

I could understand that. As it were, I was still human and technically I was at a much high risk of being killed than if I were a vampire. No matter how many guards they assigned to protect me, all it takes is a few vampires, they could even be guard members, that are hungry enough or mad enough at the queens and they could kill me. I could even end up eating something that unbeknownst to anyone, was spoiled or had salmonella or something and I could get killed that way. While I was still human, as far as they were concerned, I was basically a huge target to get killed. As soon as I was a vampire, they wouldn't have to worry as much. They would still be worried since it's impossible to get rid of every single threat, but I wouldn't nearly be as unsafe as a vampire, than I am as a human.

"Realistically though, we just want you to be turned whenever you feel comfortable being turned. If you choose to be turned now, great, if you want to wait a few years, then that's your choice." Didyme said in a soothing tone. "Whenever you want is just fine with us."

"I'm with them." Dora asked when I looked at her, silently asking for her input. "It would be put us as ease knowing that you are able to defend yourself against a vampire; whereas now, you can't. But, we don't want to push you to do anything you don't want to do. You said you want to be turned, that was the only thing we would have truly ignored your wishes on, but we don't have to worry about that now. Whenever you want, is just fine."

"I really appreciate that you guys haven't really put a time frame on when I need to be turned." I started after I shared a brief smile with them. "I was thinking though, I want to be turned around the same age as you guys."

I was pretty sure they were all in their mid-twenties. Waiting to be turned would give me several benefits. The first I was thinking about was that I wanted to mature a little more before I was turned and stuck with basically the same maturity that I have now. I knew I was already very mature for my age and that I was more than able to match their maturity, but I wanted a few more years to gain the maturity that only age could give. Plus, I also wanted to be of legal drinking age, the US legal age, so that I could at least have a legal drink once before I could never stand to drink the stuff again. It's not a big deal, but it is kind of a rite of passage that I wanted to experience.

Another benefit I would get from waiting was sleep. I would never get to sleep again and that was something I knew I would miss. The Volturi have never complained, to me at least or not yet, about what they miss from their human lives. They all seem more than content with what they have gained from being turned. I recall the Cullen's always saying what they missed about being human and what they would give to experience something human one last time. I wanted to make sure I didn't feel that way.

The last thing I wanted to make sure was done, was to write down in a series of journals, everything about my human life. I was afraid, even though it didn't seem to be a common occurrence, that what happened to Alice would happen to me. If I was unfortunate enough to forget my entire human life, I wanted to be able to read something, in my own words, about being human. I wanted to be to read about my human experiences and what I thought about everything. I really hoped, and I really doubted I would, I wouldn't need the journals, but in I did, I wanted more than enough time to make sure I had everything written down.

"How old were you thinking?" Sulpicia asked with a tilt of her head.

"We weren't all turned at the same age." Dora pointed out.

"I know. You guys were turned in your mid-twenties right?" I asked, just in case I was wrong.

"One of us was turned in her earlier thirties." Dora said with a smirk. "We'll let you guess which one." It was clearly a challenge. I was sure that whoever it was, if it wasn't Dora, wasn't happy about being turned in their thirties rather than their twenties. Back in their day, being in their thirties was old; I wonder if they had kept that mentality or if their views had managed to change with the times.

"We'll re-visit that topic another day." Didyme cut in before I, or Sulpicia for that matter, could respond. "At what age were you looking at being turned love?"

"I was thinking around twenty-five; at least no later than that." I answered.

"That's a wonderful decision." Sulpicia said with a clap of her hands, which to me meant she had something up her sleeve. "That's plenty of time to tie up loose ends with your family and to make sure there's nothing else you want to experience as a human."

I couldn't help but roll my eyes at that. The only thing that I could experience as a human and not as a vampire was having kids. Since my partners in life are three women, I don't see that happening any time soon. Even if I were to choose to artificially inseminate, that would still involve raising a child amongst vampires; I would never do that. That would guarantee that the child would have no choice but to live an abnormal life, it would guarantee that the child would eventually be a vampire. I couldn't guarantee that the child would want that, I wouldn't want to force them to become something they didn't want to. Also, unlike Rosalie and others, I never really wanted children. I wanted to live out my life with someone I loved very much; I have that now, with three wonderful women. I didn't feel the need to involve a child in my life.

"There's not much I want or really even need, to experience as a human. Everything I want to do can be done as a vampire." I told them.

"So, the big concern then, is just you want your body's age to match ours?" Didyme asked.

"Right."

"We have no problem waiting for a few years until you're in your twenties to turn you." Dora said as she leaned back into her chair.

"Well, that was all we actually needed to talk about." Sulpicia said with a smirk. "We can spend the rest of the afternoon doing activities that don't involve talking." Sulpicia slowly stood from her seat and started to slowly walk towards me.

"Just remember Cia," Didyme started as she stood from her chair. "Sharing is caring."

In a flash I was straddling Didyme's thighs, on her chair. She had her hands on my hips. I instantly moved my hands to wrap around her neck and smashed our lips together. I felt her hands start to move, one to my hair and the other up and down my back.

"Ha! Apparently Didyme doesn't have time for seductive moves Cia." Dora said, sounding very amused.

"Fine, then either do I." I heard Sulpicia said before I felt her hands on my back. She started to gently massage my back before she reached the hem of my shirt and instead of pulling it off, she ripped it right off.

The chair was apparently a lot bigger than I had thought. I felt Didyme scoot forward in the large cushioned chair and leaned back and against the back of the chair. I felt Cia gently push me forward so that instead of sitting on Didyme's thighs, I was nearly sitting on her stomach. I felt Cia sit down right behind me, both of us squished together so that we could both sit on Didyme's thankfully long legs. As I felt Cia's hands start to gently scrape her nails up and down my back, making me shiver.

I pulled away from Didyme when I realized that I still needed to breathe. As I gasped out to try and catch my breath, I felt Didyme start to trail kissed up and down my neck before she finally found a spot to latch onto. I was just starting to think that she was going to leave a bruise when I saw Dora's hand start to literally tear away Didyme's clothes; I could even feel her tear away Cia's clothes from behind me.

Even though I had just had lunch, I was definitely hungry again and the queens were more than happy to eat with me.
