Sorry for the wait, tend to go one story at a time.

Bella tells about her pregnancy and the plans begin, with the nursery, the clothes, Diana, Jessica, and Angela are having a field day with her lol. I'll also bring in the wives again on their points of the baby.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Bella's P.O.V.:

Some hours later:

We finally arrived in Volterra, just a few hours before the sun would come up. I was happy to finally be here, but I kept myself at bay since I am a princess. I wasn't sure how my dad would take the news, but I knew Jess and Ange would be overjoyed.

"Cara?" Marcus touched my shoulder, we were now pulling into the small garage lot under the castle. It wasn't as long as the one in Diana's castle, but it was deep enough. The car that brought the others was already here, and empty.

"Lady Diana has gone upstairs to see the others. She was delighted to have visited our home after so long." Aro turned to me smiling.

"She's been here before?"

"Of course, she helped us make this home. The decorum was of me and my brothers' minds, but the idea of hiding the castle in plain sight in the city was hers."

"Just like her own." Diana's castle was underground, but it was buried within the remains of an ancient spot. I felt my child moving again, and rubbed my stomach. "The baby's moving…" I put Marcus' hand on my stomach and he smiled.

"There'll be more movements when your stomach grows Isabella." Joseph. "That baby's going to be a kicker."

"Yeah, especially in the womb." I got up from my seat, held my husband's hand and walked with him inside.

"Master you're back." Jane came into the garage and bowed when she saw us. "Princess."

"We're not in Rome anymore Jane, you can just call me Bella." she smiled.

"Shall I take your bags?"

"No I'll take them." Joseph grabbed the bags in both arms.

"Let's go see the others." Aro was on one side while Marcus was on my other. We walked up a flight of stairs, to an elevator, and into a hall until we found the large double doors to the throne room.

"You ready?" I nodded and the doors opened. In the large room I saw several other guards, along with Caius talking to Diana.

"Milady." They turned to me.

"You're finally here, I'll go get the others." She rushed off, and Caius came over to me.

"Hello again Isabella." He smiled at me.

"Hello Caius."

"Good to see you again brother, it's been a long two weeks." Marcus and Caius shared a simple hug.

"Things have been too quiet around here without you, and hopefully it will get much better." He winked at me. Did he know already? "You don't have to tell, I found out from Diana."

"Hmph." I wanted to tell him myself.

"She didn't have to tell me, she couldn't contain her excitement so I guessed." I sighed, and soon enough Charlie, Angela, and Jessica all came down to hug me.

"Oh Bella we missed you!"

"How was your honeymoon? Was it fun? Did you love it? Well come on girl spit it out!"

"Ange, Jess give the girl some space." Thank you Charlie.

"Thanks Dad." He hugged me.

"No problem kiddo, I gotta admit I like this place. It kind of grows on you after a while." I had to laugh, Charlie always hated living in buildings with nothing to do, but I was sure he'd be occupied nicely here.

"I'm glad you like it, cuz I…I kind of have some news…" before I could say more I spotted Athenodora and Sulpicia coming over.

"Bella! Marcus!" they hugged us both.

"Hi guys." Sulpicia shared a kiss with Aro, a rather intense one at that. "Listen, I have some news."

"What news?" Angela.

"Girls let her talk, go on Bella." Diana winked at me. I looked at Marcus and he held my hand. "As hard as this is to believe…I'm…I'm pregnant." Some eyes widened, others had jaws dropping.

"Pregnant?" Athenodora. "But…that's impossible…"

"I know it sounds strange, but I have a gift that allows me to have children."

"She's telling the truth." Aro and Charlie said together.

"Dad?" he gave a sly smirk.

"You're not the only Swan to have a gift." I looked at Aro, who laughed.

"Oh dear I almost forgot, Charlie here has the gift to detect lies." I looked at Charlie.

"You're a lie detector vampire?"

"And I can make you tell the truth, course it depends on how bad the lie is but still." That actually fit, nothing could ever get by Charlie unless he could tell something was wrong. Of course it would be hard to keep secrets around him, but that wasn't important.

"My baby's having a baby." He pulled me into a hug.

"Bella's having a baby?" Jess and Ange's eyes were wide like saucers, and then it turned to excitement as they squealed, and of course Jessica's voice made the whole room shake.

"Jessica!" Caius warned her.

"Sorry sorry Master Caius, I couldn't contain myself."

"We'll have to work on that then." Felix kissed her cheek. "Congratulations Bella, Marcus."

"Thank you Felix."

"Does this mean we can help you plan?" Sulpicia looked rather giddy.

"Um…I'm not sure just yet I'm still trying to understand how this pregnancy works."

"How long will it be?"

"Four to five months, half the times of a normal pregnancy; that and the baby can have some amounts of human food but not too much."

"Oh wow…"

"Well I think we'd best let the happy couple have their privacy, come along Sully."

"You too Dora." Caius and Aro pulled their wives away and soon enough Marcus led me away from everyone straight to his own quarters, which was eerily similar to the ones Diana had.

"That went better than we thought." He said.

"Yeah, just wait though. They'll want to help put a nursery together and look after the baby once he or she's born."

"Not unless you don't want them to. Bella I know you're worried…"

"Worried?"

"About others wanting to take the baby away from us, that won't happen. Athenodora and Sulpicia gave up their hopes of having children centuries ago, they won't be a problem."

"I know that, it's just I don't want our child treated like a fragile being least of all a doll. I know how Alice and Esme would've…" oh no here I go again.

"They won't go near our baby."

"Yes I know but, I don't know I've never been a mom so I don't know how to raise a baby." Marcus held me in his arms.

"There are books you can read, and I'm sure Aro won't object to letting you look online if not in the city." I doubted that, the Volturi never left the castle without permission. "I never imagine being a father, but I have the chance with you."

"I guess I'm still a worrywart, I know none of the others will go after the baby but I still worry." He kissed my head.

"You won't have to worry, our baby will be raised by us not them."

"And Marcus, which would you prefer? A boy or girl?" he laughed.

"I wouldn't care as long as they are healthy. Though I think we could use more boys around here." I whacked his arm. "Hey you asked."

"I would like a boy, one like you."

"I would want a girl like you, with your beauty and talent."

"And your intelligence."

"It doesn't matter though, either would be great." We sat there together holding hands, just thinking about the months to come. I don't know how long we'd been sitting, but as soon as a knock came to the door I figured it had been a while.

"Who is it?"

"It's Aro, and Charlie."

"Come on in." they did so.

"Is everything alright? You've been away for nearly three hours."

"Three hours?" it was that long?

"You know very well that time goes by fast for us brother." They laughed. "What's up?"

"Well Charlie and I were talking, and we wanted to know if you both would like to deal with the Cullens before the child is born or after?" I hadn't thought about that.

"I'm not sure, if we wait until after the baby's born there's no telling what could happen, but if we wait before the baby's born then it could be controversy with Edward. Have you spoken to Diana?"

"Lady Diana wants you to decide Isabella; this is your chance after all."

"Yeah, chance to tear the fool's head off." Charlie laughed and hugged me. "I want to make them pay, but it's your choice Bells. This is my grandbaby after all."

"You'll be a great grandpa dad, and Aro will make a great uncle." Aro looked stunned.

"Uncle?"

"Well yeah, you and Marcus are practically brothers so it would be better for the baby to address you as 'uncle' instead of master. Caius too if he wants." He looked happy, then wrapped his arms around Marcus.

"I would be honored to be the child's uncle."

"You'd be the uncle either way Aro, but you're welcome."

"Um…Aro could I talk to you for a minute? Alone?" all three men looked a bit confused, but Aro nodded and Marcus left with Charlie behind him.

"Anything wrong?"

"No, it's just when I told the news…Sulpicia she…" he gave a small smile.

"She was slightly envious of you Isabella, but it's not the evil sort of envy. Sulpicia knows she cannot have children and she's accepted that, but after hearing the news well you could say that she's shocked."

"Is she jealous?" he shook his head.

"No, she's not jealous. Athenodora's the same way."

"I'm sorry."

"You have nothing to be sorry for, my wife understands as do I princess."

"You don't have to call me that, and I'm just sorry that they can't live their dreams of becoming mothers. I know about the immortal children, and I know you can't adopt a child for many reasons so…"

"No Bella, you have nothing to be sorry for. No one is blaming you for anything."

"Thanks."

"This baby is going to be a jewel among us all, and they will have many protectors along with the skills to defend themselves. Of course all that's up to you and your husband, Isabella I have never seen Marcus so happy. You are a blessing to him."

"Thank you, I know I can't replace your sister but I do love him."

"I know you do, and I'm growing to love you like a sister."

"Then you can call me sis or sister, or just Bella or Isabella whichever suits you best." He laughed and pulled me into a hug.

"Little sister, you are too much."

"Oh brother." We let go. "Now first thing to do is get the nursery together."

"Shall I get Jessica and Angela?" I nodded.

"Yes, and Sulpicia and Athenodora I know they'll want to help." He smiled.

"As you wish sister." He left quickly.

"Everything alright Bella?" Marcus poked his head in.

"Yeah, but you'd better go the girls are going to help me make the nursery plans."

"Well you girls have fun." Charlie smiled waving behind Marcus.

"It's going to be hard, unless you want to help?" their eyes widened and they exchanged looks.

"We'll pass! Love you!" they ran off.

"Love you too!" men never got involved when it came to planning, that was all up to the women to decide bridal and maternal wise.

"Bella!" all four women came in. "Where shall we start?"

"Well we need a room for the baby, I was thinking the one next door. But they won't sleep in there until they're at least a month or two old."

"No problem, we'll just get a cradle for in here until the nursery's done. I know a great store we can go to tonight." Athenodora piped in.

"We'll have to ask Aro first."

"No need I already have." Sulpicia winked. "What colors should we get?"

"Um…neutral ones since I don't know if I'm having a boy or girl yet."

"I think a light purple and gray might do it, as for clothes we'd best buy up to six months old."

"A year, no telling how fast this kid's gonna grow." I rubbed my stomach. "Oh! They kicked, here feel they kicked!" they all touched my stomach and cheered at the kick they felt.

"Oh! I can't wait until the baby's born I just can't wait!"

"You're gonna have to Ange, we still have four months to go." And I still hadn't decided on the godparents yet.

Time skip in the next chapter, to where Bella is showing and asks Diana to bring the Cullens in for their punishment. It'll flip to the Cullens too, when the Volturi come for them.

I have a plan on the gender of the baby, but if you want to throw in suggestions you can.

R&R

Later!
