Author's Note:

I want to thank all of you for giving a lot of support to me and my stories.

It's taken me a lot of time to come to terms with a lot of things that have happened in my life. I've been struggling with two recent losses and it's hard for me to cope with them. But I am trying hard to. So, please, bear with me if I post a lot sometimes, and then take a long time to post. I truly appreciate all the love and support you've all given me.

Two Months Later:

I paced back and forth as we all stood in the waiting room of the hospital awaiting any news.

"Uccellino… Bella… Amore, you've got to calm down, this isn't good for you.. Or the bambino." I heard Edward say.

But I couldn't calm down. Not after what's happened to Rose, Didy, and Lottie. I was going out of my mind.

Tonight wasn't supposed to end like this. Edward and I- We had a plan all lined up, and steps to make sure that everything was secure had been taken, and set in place to bring Siobhan and Liam down finally.

Unfortunately, it looks like she managed to get her own mole in the Nest, and just like Liam's got one as well.

We had set a trap for both of them. But it backfired, and not only did Siohban try to take us all down, wounding our friends in the process when she went after me, but she also forced Maggie to go with her. Poor Mags looked beyond terrified as Siobhan drove off in my car.

Liam is just as bad. The moment he was cornered he tried to go down fighting. Wounding Peter in the arm, and Jasper in the stomach and hip,- which he happens to be in surgery to retrieve them-, he also fatally wounded Vic, a guy who happened to be conducting business with- Loni Di Lorenzo, I believe was his name. Fortunately, Edward and the guys managed to take Liam out before he could escape. Eliminating one of our many problems.

We've been looking for Siobhan and Mags since. I have no idea how Maggie is, and I am worried that in Siobhan's need to escape, she'll try to hurt Maggie.

Fuck, this situation was stressing me out. Plus, Edward has become more overprotective of me and our baby. Even going as far as to pay a doctor to come to the condo.

But, that's only the beginning, after the incident with Siobhan, and Liam he bought a house, ways away from the city. Somewhere secluded enough that he knew would be safe.

It was a large house, that had an amazing yard, and was surrounded by woodland. I called it Paradiso Saldare. Paradise Wealde.

I was originally against it because it meant I needed to leave all of my friends in the city, unprotected. But when he told me that he hired a security team large enough for the girls to each have two guys at all time. Which helped me a lot.

Then I found out he hired another team to roam the grounds at our house and I lost my shit. But he wouldn't listen to me, so I was forced to allow this when he pointed out that I needed help if something happened, I couldn't exactly tell him no when he gave me the look.

But that's beside the point.

He was trying to micromanage my pregnancy now, and it was starting to piss me off.

For example, no heavy lifting, no type of exercise despite the doctor saying light exercise is okay, oh and no junk food. I was going insane here.

If he didn't let up soon I was going to dart him in the neck, and fly to one of the homes I had in a different country, and stay there for the rest of my pregnancy. Those were only just the beginning of my many intrusive thoughts. Thoughts in which flew out the window after I went to the nest and all of this happened.

I was scared. Scared that Lottie, Rose, or Didy were wouldn't pull through. I didn't want to lose anyone else. But I feared that I was going to.

"Bella…" I heard someone say as I blinked back into the present.

I blinked, as I saw Edward staring at me in concern.

"Bell?" He whispered, as he brought his hand to the side of my face, and slowly ran his thumb on the side of my cheek.

"I'm okay… has there been any news?" I asked as I turned to look at every one of them.

Alice had her arm in a sling, Esme had a busted lip, and a broken wrist, and everyone else had minor cuts and bruises.

Most of the men were comforting their present or prospective partners in their arms, comforting them as we waited.

"We've only received one. The bullet Siohban hit Charlotte in the back with, hit her spine, there's a good chance that she may not be able to walk again. Everything is up in the air right now since they could only retrieve fragments of it, and everything is swollen at the moment. We'll know how she truly is once she wakes up from the surgery. She is currently in I.C.U. The doctors working on Rose say that the bullet shattered her collarbone. She's going to be okay. Didyme- She's been placed in a medically induced coma, to allow her body to heal." He informed me.

"Didy…" I gasped as I felt tears fill my eyes.

I felt as he pulled me into a fierce hug. "It's going to be okay. They managed to repair what the bullet did to her large intestine. She's going to be fine." He whispered to me.

"You don't know that…" I whispered.

"No, we do. All of our friends are being taken care of by the best doctors in the field. Please believe that." He told me.

I bit my lip as I sniffled, trying to keep my emotions at bay though I know I am failing horribly at doing so.

"We'll get through this… I promise." He told me before kissing my forehead.

Two Weeks Later:

Once I knew for sure that Didy, Rose, and Lottie were going to pull through, I threw myself into finding Siohban, and Mags.

Combing through every possible place, using digital surveillance of any digital object that had a camera or microphone searching for them along with Othonos and King.

Kebi along with Tia were helping me with my search.

Finally, after what seemed like months on end of this search, Kebi finally squeaked, "I found something!" Causing all of us to jump before rushing to her, and practically sighing.

She found Siohban living somewhere deep in Mexico, im Puerto Peñasco. No sign of Mags though, which was worrisome to all of us.

"Who's going to go?" Tia asked, eyeing my round belly.

"Me." Sulpicia said.

"What? You don't have to do this." I told her.

She nodded, as she walked over to us, "I do. She almost killed my sister. We all deserve some form of vengeance. For both of us. All of us. Besides, I am more skilled with the riffle than anyone here besides Spare. I can do it. Aro will be coming with me so you need not worry about me." She informed us.

I sighed, before nodding, "Alright, so, that settles one thing what about Othonos and King?" I asked.

Tia sighed, "Nothing, looks like they've managed to escape us once more." She said, with disappointment.

I nodded, "I'll call Edward and ask him if he has anything. Wait here." I replied as I pulled out my phone and slowly made my way out of the room.

A Few Months Later:

Sul and Aro took out Siobhan and found Mags safe and sound, though she was heavily sedated. She was transported to a hospital where she recuperated before she came back home with them.

Unfortunately for me and the Nest, we don't find out where those two bastards are hiding. I grew more and more frustrated as days passed and all of us came up empty-handed.

Soon more days passed, and before I knew it I was in the hospital ready to give birth.

I thought giving birth would be hard, but nothing prepared me for the surprise of having two babies instead of one.

Yes, you read that correctly.

Looks like Edward was right we did have a bambino, but we also had a bambina to keep him company.

That's right, Alexander and Sophie arrived, and they've got us all wrapped around their littlest fingers.
