Even though no one said a word to each other it felt like everybody was screaming in my ears. Jake had started to calm down when we got to the airport and finally looked at me without pain.

"You're still mad?" I whispered to him.

He looked at me slowly. I could see he was taking in every inch of my face with his eyes. "No." he smiled.

For some reason I didn't believe him. He was never mad. Just scared. To lose everything we had. And I could understand him completely. Only that I never lost my mom so this had to be twice as hard for him.

The Volturi didn't know we were coming. Right when we decided to tell them Alice had a vision and they did not like us contacting to say that.. And she hadn't seen anything about this decision yet so we didn't know if this was worse or better.

My family was covered up as much as possible as we walked through the sunny city full of people. We had somewhat talked about our so called "strategy" but we knew we couldn't have one. That would seem like threat to them.

When we were about to walk in to the building Jake took my hand and we stopped as our family walked inside. I turned to look at him face. Underneath the weak smile was fear and love. An odd combination for an odd situation. I could remember the first time I looked into his eyes. When Rosalie held me. He squeezed my hand as I showed it to him. We both took a deep breath and walked inside to our family.. and possibly our doom.

Neither Jake or I had been here before but I could tell my family was familiar with this place. About thirty seconds after we walked in a blonde girl and two men greeted us. Jane, Felix and Demitri.

"What a surprise.." Jane said with a blank face. "Here to see Aro?"

My parents turned to look at each other. Almost like one last goodbye. "Yes." Dad said.

"This way." Jane answered with a wicked grin and gestured for us to walk into the hallway they came from.

I could feel my gasps for air become closer and more intense as we walked down the hallway. When I passed Jane and the others I felt a sudden cold. I gasped for air and tried to contain my composure. My mom had taught me to be brave and never fear anything. To always fight and never give up. And to know that even she was afraid made me question the strength I thought I had.

We walked into a big round room. In front of us was two chairs. Aro, Marcus and Caius was sitting in them. And around the room the guard were standing. I let my hands hug Jakes arm as we came to a stop.

"What a… pleasant surprise.." Aro said and walked down to greet my parents. I could see he was mad and confused. But he masked it well with a fake smile. He took my fathers hand and looked with almost burning eyes at him for a few seconds.

"I see.." he said and let go of his hand. He took one step back and looked at Marcus and Caius. He took a few quick steps and whispered something to them so quick and quiet that I couldn't hear them. I could only assume he told them what he saw. My dad nodded slightly and looked at me briefly.

"Always causing trouble.." Caius snarled quietly. I could feel Jake tense up in anger.

"What to do what to do what to do.." Aro mumbled and walked around.

What is he thinking? Is it good? I looked at dad. He slightly turned his head I could tell by the look in his face..

"Werewolves are our natural enemies. We can't let them mix." Caius snarled. It was like someone spat in my face.

"The chances are extremely slim.." my dad said softly.

"But what IF?" Caius continued. "What IF they breed. What will it be. Just because your little experiment worked out doesn't mean the next one will."

I could tell my dad was getting angry. "We know. But its our responsibility."

"That can risk our existence." Caius shouted.

"Now now simmer down.." Aro said with his wonderfully calm voice. It was strange how his voice made me feel so calm but threatened at the same time. "Alice?" he turned to her and held his hand out. "Might you know if it is a threat?"

"I have a hard time seeing them both. And I have seen nothing about a child." She said.

Aro continued to hold his hand out. Her statement wasn't enough. He needed to see for himself. She took of her glove and carefully placed her hand in his. For a second his face turned blank like Alice's face did when she had a vision. He gave her a gentle pat on the hand before he let go and took one step back. He looked at Caius and Marcus and slowly shook his head to let them know that we weren't lying.

"Now.. might I speak to Renesmee myself?" he asked my father and mother. They both took a step to the side and looked at me. I gave them a questioning look and they nodded. I took one last look at Jake before I walked up to Aro. I could hear that Jake took a few steps forward from where we were standing to stay close to me.

"Hello, Aro." I said nicely and from some reason gave a slight bow.

"Oh, young Renesmee. You have grown into a beautiful woman." He made a gesture as he looked at me. His hands went up and down in the air.

"Thank you, Aro." I felt the anger take over and the fear step back. "You haven't aged a day." I said and looked straight at him. His face was blank for a few seconds as he was stunned by my sharp tongue. His face softened and he let out a quiet laugh. He almost nodded a bit in approval.

"So.." he held his hand out. I hesitated for a split second. I lifted my hand up to his face. If I showed him I could choose what to show him. The thought of him knowing every intimate detail between me and Jake sickened me. That was between me and Jacob.

He nodded and then took my hand away from his face and put it in his hand. I could feel a frown build in my face and I tried to hold my hand in his.

"Can't leave anything out my dear." He smiled and gave me a light pat on the hand and let go. Oh no. He must think I was trying to keep something from him. I looked back and dad.

Does he?

My dad nodded and I turned back to Aro and it felt like someone had punched me in the stomach. All the air and power went out of my body. Have I sent my family to it's doom?

"I'm sorry.." I whispered and looked down at the floor.

He ignored my apology and pointed at Jake. "You.. Can I ask you to come?"

Jake stood still for a few seconds and then started to walk up to us. Panic struck.

"NO.." I said franticly and took a step in front of him. "Please.." I held my arms around him and he took them of himself. He put me to the side and put his hand in Aro's. I could see him flinch when the cold skin touch his. Dad put his hands around my arms and pulled me back. My mom and he put their hands in mine. My breathing became heavy and I started to almost feel dizzy.

"Don't worry.." Dad whispered.

After a minute Aro let go of Jakes hand and Jake took a step back. "There." He said and waited for a response from Aro. Jake gave me a quick look and nodded.

I mouthed to him. "I'm sorry.." I knew he couldn't stand them. And Aro knowing everything about him.. inside out. His mother. His weaknesses. It was killing him.

"You want to have children.." Aro said. "Very much.." He looked over at me. "And it saddens you that she can't bare them."

I knew Aro was trying to break us. My fear was replaced by anger.

"I want her more." Jake said calmly back.

"I could see that.." he looked at Jake up and down. Then at me. "You are undecided."

"Yes."

"If it would happen you would not be able to keep it. It's too big of a risk."

"Who are you to decide that?" I snarled back and my parents held me back tighter.

"Renesmee.." my dad whispered.

"No no. Let her speak." Aro held his hand up to my dad. "Continue."

"It was just that question that I wanted an answer to."

"Well.. I believe your dad has already told you. And we just want what's best for all of us." Aro said with confident. My dad had told me. They were the closest thing to royalty that we had.

"If I had a child with him it wouldn't be vampire." I snarled and Aro almost looked offended by my statement.

"Of course he knows that, Renesmee.." Dad said with a smile. "I think what she means is.."

I interrupted him. "If I, a half human half vampire, have a child with Jacob, a werewolf, the child's chance of having vampire tendencies is so slim that it wouldn't be a risk."

"Still.. having vampires and werewolves.." Caius gave Jacob a discrete look of disgust. "mix.." I could almost hear a light growl come from Jake and my parents slowly let go of me and I went up to Jake and took his hand.

"Please.. The chance of us having a child isn't great.." I gave Aro a pleading look. "And if we did.." I looked at Jake.

"You would keep it.." Aro finished. I carefully nodded to him. He looked at mom. "She has a lot of you in her.."

"Yes she does." My mom said. Cold. "She knows what's worth fighting for." She looked at me and gave me a weak smile. Every time she looked at me it was like she was saying goodbye. It scared me. Jake pulled me closer.

"Now, Edward.." Aro put his hand together and walked up to him. "If this all ends badly.. Whom might we hold responsible for this?"

What? What was he talking about. My dad looked at me and gave me a weak smile then back at Aro.

"Me." He said. What? No. Just as I was about to walk to dad Jake held me back.

"And..?" Aro looked over at my mom.

She took one step forward. "Me."

"NO.." I growled. Jake held me back. Aro was playing hardball. If Jake and I had a child they would kill my parents? Where is the logic in that. He was just trying to keep us from having a child.

"I see.." Aro looked back at the others and then back at my parents. "Could you leave us for a moment? We have to.. talk things over." He made a gesture to the door. My parents and Alice were escorted out by Demitri and Felix. Jake and I were escorted out by Jane. We were lead into separate rooms. The doors in the rooms had a small open window on them. Almost like a jail cell door. I could see my parents in the other room. They held hands and looked at me with Alice in between them.

"No.." I whispered and Jake held me in his arms. "They can't do this.." he sat us down on a couch.

"Shhh…" he stroked my hair.

I fought my way out of his arms and looked at him. "They are going to kill us.."

Jake's face was soft. No trance of anger. "Ness.." he held his hand out to me. I took it and he pulled me closer. He put his arms around my waist and leaned his head on my stomach as I stroked him.

"I'm sorry.." I whispered and held back tears. I couldn't cry. No. I fell down in his arms and kissed him. Tasted his lips.. maybe for the last time. I don't know how long we sat there but after a while someone opened the door and we ran to it.

"Follow me." Jane said and started walking. I could see my parents weren't in the room and I filled with panic. Jane couldn't walk fast enough. We had to get to the room and see if they were there. And if they weren't there then where were they. They couldn't have… No. They weren't dead. When I saw them in the room, standing in front of Aro I ran up and hugged them.

"I love you.." I mumbled to them.

"We love you too.." my mom said and held my face in her hands. Jake came behind me and put his hands around my hips.

We all turned to Aro and the others.

"We have decided.." Aro said with a cold voice. "IF… she becomes pregnant.. you will inform us. And if the child…" he almost seemed to wonder if that was the right word. "If it is safe to have around humans then it will all be fine."

I looked at my dad. Are we safe?

He looked at Aro. "Thank you.."

"You may leave." Aro said and gestured for us to leave.

I slowly turned around with the others and my eyes lingered and locked with his. "Until next time.. Renesmee." He smiled. It sent chills down my spine. Jake pulled me forward so I would walk faster.

When we came outside we were all silent and focused on getting to the car. We did so rather quickly. All in a rush to get away. As we drove away from the city to the airport I couldn't stay quiet.

"Are we safe…?" I asked dad who was driving.

"He is sure that the child wouldn't be safe. So he thinks he will be able to come for us." He said with anger. "At one point they were thinking about locking us up."

"What..?" I whispered and looked at Jake.

"Yeah. But they were to afraid. They know we have so many on our side."

"The others… are they safe?"

"Yes." Mom answered for dad. I think he was too upset to talk.

"What are we going to do now..?" I whispered to Jake.

"Go back. To Dartmouth." He shrugged his shoulders, not really sure of the answer himself.

So I hope I didn't disappoint with this meeting between the Cullens and Volturi. I mean I want this to be a happy story too. Not just drama and hurt. And I do want them to have children one day and I myself think it would be unrealistic if they didnt even talk to the Volturi about it since when Renesmee was born everything blew up and they came for the Cullens.

I look forward to hearing your feedback and maybe even if you are excited about whats going to come? I think you know whats coming ;)
