I'm glad lots of you are eager to see what happens to the Cullens so here's the first part. It starts off with Bella talking about the baby and the nursery, and then it goes straight to Edward Cullen's point to where Diana's guard and the Volturi guard go to pick the Cullens up.

I don't own Twilight.

Enjoy!

Volterra palace, 3 ½ months later:

Bella's P.O.V.:

Things had gone from wow to crazy then to aahhh, and then crazy again. Back and forth I had gone making myself ready to have this baby. The nursery was almost done, the baby clothes were put together up to a year old size. I didn't know what I was having yet, but after my last checkup with Dr. Bellows he told me I was having not one but two, twins. My stomach had grown so much it felt like I had swallowed two globes.

Marcus and I were excited we were having more than one, and after we told the others Charlie and the girls flipped out. It was a good flip out but still it could have been less intense. Diana was happy too, so happy she had two cradles handmade for the twins. They were hand carved, painted pink and blue for the babies, oh they were so cute but big for cradles. Thankfully everything else was put together.

"Bella, Lady Diana wants to see you." Jane called me from my spot in the library.

"Coming." I marked my place in the book and followed her to the throne room. I remembered she and the leaders had a meeting this morning, and everyone else was away doing their own thing.

"There you are Bella!" they smiled as they saw me. "How's the belly?"

"Large and kicking, feels like I swallowed a football team." Caius snickered at me.

"Here sit down." Aro let me sit on his throne. "Isabella, we've been discussing what to do about the Cullens. We feel that we've put this off long enough, so we were wondering what you think should be done?"

"I feel the same, I've been wanting the Cullens to pay since day one. I want this to be done, but I wanted to wait until the babies are born."

"We agree principesse, it's just that I've had some of my guards keep watch over the Cullens and they seem to be fine, in Alaska that is." The Denali coven lived there.

"I want this done as soon as possible, so I want them to come here. I want them to see how much better I've done as have Charlie, Jessica and Angela." I didn't want to show off, but I wanted the Cullens punished soon.

"So what do you propose?" Diana looked rather interested.

"Bring them here, let them know all they've done wrong. If I end up going into labor when they arrive then lock them up until I'm ready to see them. I want my children guarded, there's no telling what they could try."

"I agree, and I like it." Caius smirked. "She's become quite the princess."

"Of course." Marcus came to my side and held me in a one-armed hug.

"I think we can all agree with her plan, eh Aro?"

"Yes milady, and you of course will be the one to announce their punishments."

"Yes indeed." I just loved these guys. "Charlie wanted me to tell you that he's going out tonight, so he won't see you."

"Out? On a date or something?"

"Yes indeed, remember Rena?" I nodded. "They seem to have grown close." She winked. "Now who shall we send to pick the Cullens up?"

"I would suggest we send Alec and Felix from my guard, but also send Laurent and Galen." Aro.

"I thought Laurent was still in Rome?"

"He was but I called him here, don't worry the other guards will be fine without him. Bring the Denalis as well, it's high time they've met their queen." All the others seemed to agree.

"So when should they leave?" Marcus. "Cara?"

"Soon, whenever is good. Galen will be able to block off Edward and Alice so they won't be able to see or hear anything." They nodded in agreement.

"We'll send them off tonight, Alice will see them coming but she won't see why." Diana smirked. "Oh and Bella Jessica and Angela want to see you."

"Where are they?"

"Um, I think they might be in the drawing room."

"Good, I'll see you later." I kissed Marcus and left to the drawing room. Of course I saw Angela there painting and Jessica was looking over some pictures. "Hey guys."

"Hey Bella, here sit down." I was doing a lot of sitting lately, frankly because my ankles were swollen up to the size of apples. "Do you need milk?"

"I already had some thanks, and blood. Diana's sending out some guards to get the Cullens." They stopped everything, and looked at me with cunning eyes.

"Oh? When will they get here?"

"A few days, Diana's going to lead the way. I already told them what I wanted to do first, and they agreed."

"I'm dying to see what Edward does when he sees you're married and pregnant by one of the Volturi leaders!" Jess.

"I know, and I can't wait to see what Diana has planned." Angela. "That reminds me, Bella has she said anything to you about…?" she leaned in. "The mysterious traitor?"

"No, that subject's never been brought up since the ball."

"Well from what I'm hearing it could be one of the Volturi female guards."

"Possibly." The traitor still hadn't been found out, and Diana had us all under watch to be safe. I just hoped that things wouldn't go out of hand, that both I and my husband would be safe, and our babies.

"Who's going to get the Cullens?"

"Alec, Felix, Laurent, and Galen."

"Oh…good choice." Jessica didn't like it when Felix left the palace, but she trusted him enough to be safe. "Speaking of Galen, does it look like he and Lady Diana are…close?"

"Well he is her most trusted guard." Angela.

"I know but…it looks like he has a thing for her. The way he looks at her, how he does everything she asks without question, it's more than loyalty. Almost like devotion."

"I've been noticing that too." Diana and Galen looked like a couple, but from what I was seeing Diana wasn't wanting that with Galen. "Might need to ask her about that."

"You sure that's a good idea?"

"Hey she listens to me, maybe I can see what's up with her."

"She is the queen Bella."

"Yeah but maybe she needs a little advice on love."

"Yeah…maybe…" the two exchanged glances.

"Oh yeah." I knew something was going on with those two, now all I had to do was wait for the right time and place to talk to Diana.

Sometime later, in Alaska:

Denali Home, Edward's P.O.V.:

I don't know how long it had been since I lost my Bella. I grieved over and over for her, knowing it was my fault she'd died and that I never should have left her. I should have checked on her, I should have gone back to see how she was and maybe she would have been alive still.

"Edward would you stop being so gloomy please?" Tanya had been bugging me since I came back, and even though I lost Bella and she respected my space she was still hooked on the idea of us getting together.

"Leave me alone Tanya." She scoffed.

"Edward I don't mean to sound rude or anything but Bella is gone, and I don't think she'd want you to mourn your whole life for her." I turned to her.

"You don't know anything, she hasn't been gone too long and I can mourn her if I please. I loved her."

"Obviously not enough to stay with her." If I could hit her I would, but instead I just walked away before I said something I would regret.

"Edward." I saw Carlisle in the kitchen.

"Not now, I don't want to talk about it."

"You know Bella wouldn't want you to be like this."

"I can mourn, I have to otherwise I could do something I regret." I leaned up against the counters.

"You really need to stop this." Rosalie came into the kitchen. "Your mood swings are affecting Jasper again. Bella is gone, and from what I think she was better off human anyway."

"Rosalie…"

"No Carlisle, I'm sick of keeping quiet. Edward Bella is gone; you can't keep wishing you'd been there. I told you this would be trouble, and I was right. All it's done is cause you heartbreak, that's what happens when you fall in love with a human!"

"You fell in love with Emmett when he was human."

"He was dying, but Bella was alive and healthy. She had a life to live, and when you HAD to save her you ruined everything."

"You never liked her to begin with!"

"Maybe because I didn't want a human to risk us!"

"Enough!" Carlisle stepped between us. "Look we're all upset about what happened to Bella, we all have some regret about leaving her, but fighting isn't going to help so you two'd best keep your distance from each other and let everyone else try and relax. It's hard enough without the fighting." Rosalie glared and took off.

"Carlisle!" I heard Alice screaming. "Carlisle! Edward!" she came in with Jasper and Esme behind her.

"What is it Alice?"

"The Volturi! They're coming here for us!"

"What for?"

"They know about Bella, they're coming to take us back to Volterra." My eyes widened, how did they find out the Volturi never left Volterra least of all sent out spies?

"When are they coming?"

"In an hour, they came fast." Carlisle and I exchanged looks.

'Looks like we don't have a choice son.' "Gather the others, we'll meet them halfway." They left quickly.

"How can they know about Bella?"

"I don't know, but we don't have a choice but to go with them. We can't make this worse than it might be." I still didn't understand, but I had no choice and neither did the rest.

"Let's go." Perhaps I would see Bella again, sooner than I thought.

The entire family raced out to the snowy mountains, right where Alice said it would be halfway. The Volturi would be here soon, but for some reason I couldn't pick up any thoughts and up until now Alice had not picked up anything else.

"They're coming." Alice pointed to the distance, where I saw four dark figures walking our way. They came swiftly and quietly, and soon they were only a few feet away. I recognized one of them as…Laurent?

"Hello Cullens." It was Laurent, but he looked different from the last time we saw him. He like the others was wearing dark suit, and a long robe but his head wasn't covered. "It's been a while."

"Laurent…you're with the Volturi?" Carlisle stepped forward.

"Not quite." He looked at me.

"Why have you come? We've done nothing…" Typical Rosalie.

"Rosalie, please let me." Carlisle started but Laurent held up a hand.

"We are here by order of her majesty the queen, Lady Diana. She has ordered us to bring you back to Volterra to await trial on the count of allowing a human to know of our existence and refusal of changing the human Isabella Swan."

"The queen?" there was a queen, in the Volturi?

"The vampire queen, she is one of the very first and true vampires, she is older than the Volturi and the one who created them. When she is in power they are second in command to her, but when she rests the Volturi take over until she returns. She's not part of the Volturi because she has her own coven which includes myself and Galen here." He pointed to the man next to him, a tall masculine one as big as Felix and Emmett.

"Carlisle?" everyone looked to him.

"I've never met the queen, but I did know about her. When I was in Volterra Aro would tell me about stories about Lady Diana, but at the time she was away and they were in charge."

"Then how come we didn't know about her?" Tanya asked looking at Laurent.

"Only the older covens know, the newer ones eventually learn. She is not pleased with your coven Carlisle, and she commands you return with us otherwise we will have no choice but to bring the rest of the Volturi." The only ones he had from the Volturi were Felix and Alec.

"We'll go with you, we won't refuse her majesty." Galen stepped closer to Laurent.

"She'll be most intrigued to see you Edward Cullen. You are the one she's mainly disappointed with." I only nodded, I couldn't pick up any of their thoughts, someone had to be blocking my power.

"The Denalis are to come as well." Felix.

"Y-Yes…" Tanya looked almost afraid, and so did Eleazar and the rest.

"You need not be afraid; her highness is most merciful and gracious. She will allow you to explain, but you'd best not give any excuses for not changing that poor human."

"We understand." Esme. "We'll get our stories straight."

"You cannot lie either, for one in her coven can see through any lies. Now come along, we can't keep her waiting too much longer." Laurent turned and we followed back. I still couldn't pick up any thoughts, and no doubt Alice couldn't pick up anything else.

"Is…is there anything we need to know about the queen? How do we show respect and greet her?" Alec turned to us.

"When she enters you bow, don't speak unless she speaks to you, don't interrupt her when she speaks, and most of all do not step out of line or she will hurt you. Understand?" we nodded. "Good."

"Enough talk, come." We followed after them, and all I could do was think about what this queen would say or do.

Volterra:

Bella's P.O.V.:

Almost two days had passed since Laurent left with the other guards. I knew they would be back soon, I just hoped it could go by faster because I was getting anxious as were Diana and the rest of the covens. The twins were excited too, they kept doing summersaults in my womb and every time I spoke they were happy and calm.

"Bella?"

"In here Marcus." He came into our room, seeing me look down at the beautiful cradles just ready to hold my children.

"Are you alright?"

"I'm fine, the babies are just kicking." I took his hand and one of them kicked against it. "Oh! Strong one…"

"Very strong." He bent down and kissed my stomach. "Our babies, they can't wait to see us."

"And we can't wait to meet them." I started stroking his hair, he has such long beautiful hair that framed his gorgeous face. Our children would be just like him I knew it, and I know he'd love them forever with me. "It's funny."

"What's funny?" he looked up.

"I never imagined being a mom someday, least of all as a vampire. Now I have a husband, great friends, a home, and two little miracles on the way." I rubbed against my bulging stomach, my babies were so close to coming I could almost feel them in my arms.

"You'll be a wonderful mother Bella, our children will love you no matter what."

"They'll love their daddy too." Laying a kiss to his forehead I leaned back and propped up my feet. It was quiet, which was nice but I missed being around everyone. Unfortunately in my delicate condition I had to be careful, but at least I had Charlie and Marcus around mostly.

"Master Marcus, Isabella?" Clarinda knocked at the door. "Lady Diana has just received word from Laurent, the Cullens will be here in an hour."

"That soon? Oh brother…" Marcus helped me up. "Clarinda could you get Jessica and Angela in here please?"

"Right away." I heard her leave.

"They're here already?" Marcus didn't look too surprised.

"You know Lady Diana said to be back soon."

"Yeah but not this soon." I went no wobbled over to my closet, right when Jessica and Angela showed up.

"Bella we just heard, the Cullens are coming!"

"Master Marcus Lady Diana and Master Aro want you in the throne room, we're to stay here until they call us."

"Alright." He kissed me and took off.

"Guys I need your help."

"With what?" Jess.

"Help me dress up, not too much just to make me look like a pregnant princess."

"But you are a pregnant princess…oh wait I get it I get it." Angela went to the closet grabbing two dresses while Jess grabbed the jewelry box. I let my hair fall loose from the tie I had it in, and grabbed the brush.

"We're gonna make you look beautiful. Edward's gonna regret everything he's done!"

"Shh Ange not so loud." Jess.

"Sorry."

"You guys dress up too, but hurry we've only got fifty-five minutes." They rushed into action, this wasn't my style but I wanted Edward to suffer for what he'd done and I knew it'd make him squirm.

Oh I couldn't wait.

Hope you liked it! Next one is where the pre-trial begins, where the Cullens and Denalis meet Queen Diana and see exactly what they put Bella through. Charlie will show up too, before Bella because everyone knows how he wanted to rip Eddie's head off for hurting his daughter.

R&R

Later!
