MUST READ!AN: You guys are mad at me aren't you? I'm sorry the updates have been slow and short, but I've been really busy and my laptop has been acting up. But I'm finished with most stuff right now so I will give you longer updates, pinkie swears! And I NEVER break my pinkie swears unless absolutely necessary. Oh and I will no longer be alternating between Bella and Hero's POV'S, I will just do which POV is better for that chapter.

Chapter 19: Happy birthday Sissy.

Bella,

I sucked in a deep breath as I raised my hand to knock on the oak door in front of me. We had landed in Volterra 3 hours ago and then got picked up by Felix from the Volturi, he's hilarious.

It was almost midnight which is when Hero and I were born. The rest of the family had gone away to give me time with Hero.

I was pretty nervous to see her but I missed her too much to care. With that thought in mind, I knocked on the door.

I counted to 13 before the heavy door swung open. Jesus she had changed so much. She was taller, just a few inches taller than Esme; her waist- length hair had been cut short and was now resting in bouncy curls on her shoulder, she had completely tanned and she had no wrinkles on her forehead anymore but around her mouth and eyes. Laughter lines. She was huge; her bump was super visible even with the baggy shirt she was wearing. Her lips pulled into her familiar signature smile and she squealed, pulling me into a hug.

"Bella? Oh my goodness Bella. Bella, Bella, Bella!" she shrieked.

"Well your vocabulary has really improved." I laughed, hugging her tighter.

"Oh ha. I missed you, where is everyone?" she asked, pulling me into the room.

"They left to give us privacy, it's almost midnight."

She glanced at the clock excitedly. "3 minutes, let me get your present out."

She reached into her cupboard and pulled out several shiny packages.

"Hero you didn't spend lots of money did you?" I asked, eyeing the presents warily.

She flashed me a sugary sweet smile. "Course not."

I sighed.

"5... 4... 3... 2... 1. Happy birthday Sissy." She whispered hugging me.

"Happy birthday Ro." I grinned.

"Ok me first." She clapped and handed me a present. She bit her nails in anticipation as she watched me open it. I looked up at her face and laughed. She giggled and slapped my hands lightly. In that moment I looked at her and I saw our mother.

"Come on." She mumbled.

"Ok, Ok." I smiled, ripping open the present.

"Oh Hero." I gasped, pulling out the silver locket. It was beautiful. It had a silver chain and had a white gold locket in the shape of a tear drop. I opened it and saw it had space for 2 pictures, but they were empty. I raised an eyebrow at Hero.

She rolled her eyes. "Open the next present Bella."

I opened it slowly just to wind her up. She glared at me and I laughed.

Photo albums. Full of pictures of Hero and I and dad and even mum.

"So you can choose." She smiled.

My eyes watered. "Love you girly."

"No tears, come on I want my present."

I wiped my eyes and handed her the necklace.

"It's awesome Bella." She smiled, putting in on.

"What pictures are you going to put?" I asked.

She held up a photo of me and her and dad and mum. It was one of those days when Renne had come to dump me on Dad. She was excited that day and insisted on a photo.

Dad looked handsome as always. His dark hair framing his pale face and his blue eyes glowing as he looked down at Hero and I. We looked so cute. Tousled hair, arms around eachother, two front teeth missing. Renne was sitting next to Dad with one arm around him and another on Hero's shoulder, grinning into the camera, Her Blonde hair was pulled back into a ponytail, her nails were perfectly manicured and her fake tan looked perfect, the only thing real looking about her in the photo was her eyes. They were pitch black but they sparkled with life.

"Wow." I muttered.

Hero smiled sadly. "I hate her but I miss her."

I nodded. "You need one more photo."

"I wanted to take a picture of us two with the baby as the second one." She said, peeking at me shyly from under her lashes.

"Great idea, I'll have one too."

"You still need another picture." She told me.

I flipped a few page of the album until I came to special one.

It was of Hero and dad and me.

Dad and I were sitting by the river, fishing poles dangling in the water as we grinned at the camera. Hero had gotten bored after a few minutes and was standing behind dad pulling a funny face.

I laughed. "Remember this?"

"How could I forget. That was the day Renne called me a disabled brat. I want to hit her." Hero growled.

"That's because you are one." A new voice said from behind the door.

Hero growled again. I knew that look. Renne might not be here for her to punch but some idiot's nose was getting bloody tonight.
