Breaking Dawn AU: When Alice has her vision about the Volturi coming, Carlisle naturally picks up the phone and calls Aro to explain everything and thus prevent all the unpleasantness.


Aro: Ah, Carlisle! it's been centuries, my old friend!

Carlisle: Hello, Aro. Forgive my abruptness, but there is a delicate matter we need to discuss. Has Irina gotten there yet?

Aro: Irina? Why would she, of all people, come here?

Carlisle: Yes, ah, she is under the mistaken impression that my family is harboring an immortal child. I believe she is en route to inform you of our "crime."

Aro: How exciting! I assume you are completely innocent of the charges, my old friend?

Carlisle: Of course.

Aro: But… there *is* a child?

Carlisle: Yes, but not an immortal one. A hybrid has been conceived. She is growing and learning rapidly and is already in control of her very minute thirst.

Aro: OH MY! :D I assume Edward and his pet human are the happy parents?

Carlisle: Yes. And that is the other reason I called, to inform you that we have fulfilled the law. Bella has been transformed.

Aro: How delightful. And of course I believe you, my dear friend. Only…

Carlisle (sighs, sharing a glance with Alice): yes?

Aro: I mean no offense, but I'm sure you understand our need to verify your claims to innocence. Perhaps a little visit…

Carlisle: That won't be necessary. You and I can meet in a neutral location—in public, if you don't mind—and you will have all the evidence you need.

Aro: It would be my pleasure!

THE END.
