After Dawn 8:

Gavin's POV

I was in the kitchen with them as they went out to the living room to introduce Renesmee to her grandmother. I thought it was adorable as Charlotte led Renesmee out there, and yet I felt a sharp pain in my heart, I couldn't give Charlotte children like we wanted to have someday. I wished I could give her that, I truly did. "Mom, I would like you to meet your granddaughter." I could hear Renee gasp and I could hear the smile on her lips as she talked to Renesmee.

"Hi baby, I am Renee, your grandma. It's so great to meet you." I smiled, Bella's mother was really polite. Renesmee spoke in her toddler voice.

"gr-grandma?" She asked, I yearned badly for a baby now, but... well, I have Charlotte, and that was ok, but I can't tell how many times we wished we could have children.

"Yes, grandma. Oh, you are so adorable! Can I hug you?" I heard Renesmee giggle.

"Yeah." I walked out of the kitchen to join Charlotte and Renee noticed both of us now.

"Hi, who are you two if you don't mind me asking?" Renee asked.

"Hi, I am Charlotte, I am Edward's biological cousin, we found each other a couple of months back, this is my husband."

"Hello ma'am, My name is Gavin." Renee smiled.

"It's nice to meet you both."

"Likewise."

The entire week Renee was here it was a nice environment, It was always a nice environment, but when Renee was here, it was like we were human all over again, walking at human pace and doing things at human pace. Renee was leaving soon as it was hard on Bella. She told her mother about the Volturi and told her it might be a while before they can see her again. Bella just didn't want Renee to get hurt. Renee had insisted that she understood and that they could just email and call each other until they could visit each other again. The day after Renee went home, once again, hell broke loose.

It was a normal great day, it started off as a sunny day, warm, and very full of love I must say, we all gathered in the backyard to leave for baseball when we were surrounded... by the Volturi no less. We all formed a line and hissed at them. "Aro! You have no business here." Carlisle said calmly. Aro just tsked at him.

"I do, actually. I believe a prisoner escaped, you young lady," He said pointing at Charlotte. I made my way to stand in front of Charlotte. I looked at Aro.

"I mean no disrespect Aro, but you can not have her! She doesn't belong to you! She is our family, she is my wife, nothing that you own." Aro just laughed and snapped his fingers, in a split second, Charlotte was out of behind me and in the clutches of two of the Volturi, Charlotte, was struggling in their grasps. Bella and I were angry now. We made sure not to make any sudden movements to not cause on of the guards to hurt my precious Charlotte.

"Let me go!" Charlotte cried, "Please, I don't belong to you." She cried again. Aro laughed again menacingly.

"Oh, my precious young one, we aren't here cause we think we own you, we are here to kill what was to be killed before." Charlotte, tried harder to break free of their clutches. Bella and I were about to burst of anger. "Stand still, that will only make it easier."

"NEVER! I won't give up! I am not yours to decide what to do with. I am married, I have a family, don't take me away from them, do you really want to be a monster?" Aro stopped and looked like he was deliberating.

"I couldn't care less, maybe this will give all other vampires a reason to fear me." Charlotte's face crumbled in fear as she tried to jerk out of their grasps.

"Stop!" I yelled, running towards them. "Let my wife go!" I was shoved to the ground, being held down by Felix, his hard hold was on my head as he threatened to kill me right in front of my dear Charlotte. The Volturi stood there and chuckled at my easy defeat. I didn't want Charlotte or the Cullens, our dear friends and family to see this, especially not Charlotte. "No." Edward and Bella said.

"No! Please!" Charlotte cried. Aro looked at her, and clasped his hand around her throat, tightening his grip anytime she tried to struggle. His voice was evil and menacing, but loud at the same time.

"You have to sacrifice yourself or your husband, and the Cullen's die. I won't let someone who tries to kill me when they are captured get away with it. " Charlotte gasped, and her eyes looked down towards me.

"Can I at least say good-bye? The right way?" Charlotte pleaded. Everyone around us gasped, including myself.

"Charlotte! We can't let you sacrifice yourself for us." Bella said.

"But I will, if it is to save your family." Aro nodded his head, obviously annoyed and threw Charlotte to the ground right in front of me. She crawled over to me and looked at me in the eyes as Felix took his grip off of me. I took ahold of her, making her look into my eyes.

"Charlotte, please." I cried. She smiled sadly at me.

"Gavin, I love you, and if this is what I have to do to save you and the Cullens then I have to. I can't let you all die for me. I just ask that you and none of you," She said as she looked up towards the Cullens. "forget me. That's all I ask. I will be there waiting for you in whatever after life waits for us there." I felt something wet glide down my cheek, it was a tear? A venomous tear. I didn't want her to do this.

"Please." I and the Cullen's begged again.

"I love you Gavin." She pressed her lips to mine and we kissed passionately before she unwillingly moved her lips from mine. "I will miss you so much." She hugged me quickly and Caius pulled her out of my grasp, and tossed her across the field, making her land on the ground with a loud thud. We all growled and hissed at the unneeded violence. I snuck around them, and went by her side, holding her in my arms as they came forward. Aro began to reach in for Charlotte only. I couldn't let her do this alone.

"Wait!" I yelled. Aro turned to look at me.

"What do you want?" Caius demanded.

"Charlotte, I can't let you do this... alone. I walked towards Charlotte and pulled her out of their arms and held her close. "My sweet, if you go, we go together." We looked straight ahead to look at the Cullens and smiled at them. "Good-bye, thank you for being such great friends and family to us. We love you all very much."

We looked towards the Volturi and held each other close, just waiting for it to be done and over with and we can spend eternity together in the afterlife, I felt someone take Charlotte out of my arms, and I opened my eyes to see it was Felix, Charlotte and I yelled for each other as each member of the Volturi separated us to finish us off separately. All we heard next was what sounded like tearing metal.

We opened our eyes to see Aro, Marcus, and Caius's guards being ripped to shreds in front of us, and the Cullens still fighting some of the remaining Volturi. "We aren't going to let you two sacrifice yourselves for us, if we fight, we fight as a family, together." Carlisle said. And with that, we attacked the rest of the group in hopes we would make it, successfully we were able to finish off the main two, Jane, and Alec, the siblings with extraordinary power. Slowly, bit by bit we were winning, until we noticed a bigger group of the Volturi advance from the forest.

Dammit!, We saw that we were out numbered, we knew that this would most likely be our last few minutes together, unless some miracle were to shine down on us now. Each of us held onto our loved ones, and Charlotte and I watched as Edward clung to his wife and daughter for dear life.

I smiled when the wolves came onto our land. Renesmee looked at Jacob and smiled, getting a wolf whine from him. "They're here to help." Edward said. As the we, except for Renesmee, and the wolves charged for the Volturi, we were once again blessed when a huge group of other vampires came out and helped us destroy the Volturi.

One by one we lowered their army, leaving the leaders for last who were held captive by some of the more vicious wolves, I couldn't help but chuckle at Caius's expression, I had heard that he was absolutely terrified of the wolves, good! He deserved a little fear. We made them suffer more than others, ripping them apart piece by piece, slowly and painfully, Carlisle kind of stayed out of that one. He didn't really care for killing someone that way, even if they were evil and sadistic.

Right before we finished off Aro, he looked towards Carlisle and begged him for forgiveness, "Carlisle, old friend, please." Carlisle sighed and shook his head.

"We are no longer old friends, Aro. You have brought this upon yourself. Sorry, but I do not forgive those who threaten my family." Aro looked completely fearful as Leah in her wolf form took the last strike. Now, our biggest enemy was no longer a problem. Carlisle looked at the group of vampires that came to join us, "Garret, Benjamin, Amun, Peter, Charlotte, Zafrina, thank you so much." They all smiled back in return and we celebrated that night with a feast... of animal blood that is.

I held Charlotte very close to me after that as she talked to the other Charlotte - they seemed to get along just as good as her and Bella do-, unwilling to let go, happy that none of us had to die, we could still live. Live as a family.
