BPOV
2 weeks after birth
Today marks 2 weeks since our twins were born in the most inconvenient time and in the most unorthodox place, but surrounded by love and support none the less.
It took about 4 hours all up to give birth to them both naturally, which I am told is very quick for twins, but not completely out of the norm. Especially with all the standing and walking I had done during the day prior.
Plus, as my dad said my mum gave birth to me very quickly and they just must have wanted to meet us and be a part of this world sooner rather than later. Then just when I was melting over how sweet that was he added that Swan women were just built to carry and birth babies.
Seriously, if he hadn't been holding his grandchildren at the time I would have hit him up the back of the head, but I did groan at him and he just gave me an innocent "What, it's true" in return and then looked back at the twins.
Our little boy, who was born first, looks just like me and he looks like he may eventually have brown eyes with how dark they already are. Whereas our little girl, who was born second, is her father through and through. Although they both have a pretty decent mop of brown hair, hers is Edward's reddish brown whereas his is more my chocolate brown just with more red highlights in it.
Her eyes are also already that gorgeous Emerald green of Edward's too.
Edward senior actually cried when he looked at her and all he kept saying while rocking with her in his arms was how much she looked like his Beth, meaning Edward's mother. Even though she was his spitting image and he looked so much like his father, apparently Edward looked like his mother when he was born as he got her hair and eye colour too.
Edward and Alice was shocked at his reaction and Esme, bless her kind soul, walked up behind him, lent over his shoulder and placed her head on his right shoulder and then wrapped one arm around his waist, but not in the same way a couple would, and draped the other over his left shoulder and gave him a hug and told him how much she knew her sister would have loved to have seen the day his heart would finally melt for someone and that both of them knew it would take having grandkids to do so.
He nodded and gave her a kiss on the cheek and thanked her. There wasn't a dry eye in the room after that.
They are currently sleeping upstairs while I am sitting in the office with Edward, the baby monitor is sitting on the end of my desk between us so that we can respond quickly. Thankfully they are such easy babies and they only fuss for food or nappy change and they love bath time.
When one wants a feed the other is still sound asleep, but like a good team they are already once we have finished feeding and changing one, the other needs the same. So that's the routine, even when giving them a bath.
The day after they were born we got a professional photographer that did a lot of work for Edward when he had to make a client look like they were dead when they were not to bring someone out of hiding and got some really nice photos of the twins and to even make one set for Aro where the hair and eye colour was slightly altered to match being related to James.
All that was done really was change our daughter's hair colour to be blonde and her eye colour to be blue and our son's eyes to be a dark blue as well, but because his hair colour was like mine we just left it.
Edward was really not happy with that, but knew that this needed to be done. I emailed them these as well as express posted some hard copy ones of different sizes and a few nice looking frames to go with them, and some wallet sized ones too.
A little over the top I know, but I really wanted to sell being the 'good daughter' act. Jane knew via Jack that this was shit and that she'll get to see the actual babies after Aro was dealt with. I don't know how I feel about that, but I'll cross that bridge when I come to it.
Today I was going to be calling Aro to inform him of their names and the details of the christening. Most of these details are not false, the only false thing about the details was the twin's names.
It will be at this christening that we will reveal the truth of our deception to Victoria's friend as we will have her there as part of the catering team. We will make sure she overhears some key details as well as 'leave out' a document that outlines a summary of everything.
This christening will be when the twins are 2 months old, so in another approximately 4 weeks. I know that most babies don't get christened (or baptized or whatever else you choose to call it) till about 6 months, none of us wanted to drag this shit out for too much longer and we really needed Aro and his wife out of the picture so we can move forward.
Jane can't do much with the vineyard and we can't do anything about the businesses that have to stay in the Volturi name. That sucks by the way. After he is gone, Dorian's team found out that Aro couldn't legally transfer them to me and apparently he would have known full well about this.
These businesses were also some of the only ones still making any kind of money. The most that I could be in these companies is a head manager of the whole business in each of them and only one of Aro's blood relatives can inherit these, so what will happen is after Aro is dead then legally the businesses will go to Jane and then she is going to just be owner by name while we share the profits between us.
This will get her some much needed funds for her vineyard and I will get what I should have under the documents we signed before he left. At least this will clean up this shit once and for all. And before you ask, no we can't just dismantle them.
I don't want to have to talk to the fucker, but it is something that needs to be done. We told him their names were: James Stephan Volturi & Georgia May Volturi. I know he may approve of my son's name, but I am not too sure he would with what we picked for my daughter. Then again I could care less about that right now as he won't even be alive for very long where his complaints would matter and I'd just have to bide my time till he was gone.
Anyway I better get this call out of the way now. I look over at my clock and see that it is almost time to actually call, but thought to just call a bit earlier than planned. I'll just give them the excuse I was too excited to talk to them; I am sure Aro will lap that shit up.
I dial Aro's Italian number, making sure that my number is being re-routed via the number at James' compound and my call is picked up after two rings.
*NOTE* If any Italian is wrong please forgive me as I don't know very much Italian and had to rely on google as well as a book to help me. If you see any mistake, please let me know and I will correct it. *END NOTE*
"Ciao, mia bellissima figlia. A cosa dev oil piacere dell atua chiamata?" (Translates to "Hello, my beautiful daughter. What do I owe the pleasure of your call?")
"Ciao padre. Volevo solo consultare I dettagli del battesimo dei gemelli e condividere con voi I nomi che ho scelto." (Translates to "Hello Father, I just wanted to call through the details of the twins christening and to share with you the names I have chosen.")
"Perche' la fretta di battezzarli? Quali nomi hai scelto?" (Translates to "Why the rush to christen them? What names have you chosen?")
I look up to see Edward walk in and I motion for him to be quiet, he nods his head and then I answer Aro back in Italian that the rush was because I just didn't want anyone to question whose children they were and to get the paperwork all finalized on my end.
As I was finished saying this I looked to Edward again, who had sat at his desk. He has a very puzzled look on his face. When I raise my eyebrow at him he gets a writing pad and writes something down, then he lets me read it
'I didn't know you knew Italian?' I smile at him and take the pad and write
'Grandfather and father insisted I learn a few languages so that I could converse with clients as well as when doing missions, it can be handy to let others think I can't understand them as it throws them off when they find out that I can'
He nods his head with an impressed look on his face as Aro answers me again that he accepts my choice to christen them sooner rather than later, but I can tell he is still a little suspicious. Which is good and then he asks again for the twin's names.
"Ebbene, il nome di tuo nipote e' James Stephan Volturi e il nome di tuo nipote e' Georgia May Volturi. Ho solo pensato che, poiche' tuo nipole e' nato per primo, sara' l'erede una volt ache avra' raggiunto la maggiore eta'." (Translates to "Well your grandson's name is James Stephan Volturi and your granddaughter's name is Georgia May Volturi. Just thought that because your grandson was born first he will be the heir once he is of age.")
For whatever reason Aro responds in English this time.
"Good, good! Those are some good names, it is wonderful that you have chosen James for my grandson because then he can grow up and rewrite what his father did and it will hopefully be like my son had a rebirth. This is wonderful news and I will tell your mother straight away. Now if you will excuse me, I need to go talk to your mother and get a christening gift so that our presence can be felt on the day."
Before I could answer him he hung up. I look at the phone and then at Edward and just shake my head.
"What?" Edward asks and I reply
"He hung up on me after telling he was going to get a gift for the christening, but it was so abrupt that I am a little worried he may know more than we realize because he sounded suspicious of why I wanted to bring the christening forward."
"Hmmm… That does seem odd, but could work in our favor. We'll just have to wait and see for now and stick with the plan." Edward says in a calm tone. I nod my head right as we hear one of our twins cry via the baby monitor.
We both smile and I head up to go and feed and change them.
-o0o- Week before the Christening -o0o-
It has been very uneventful these last few weeks since my call with Aro. We haven't seen or heard anything out of the ordinary or that what I suspected before after the call. We even voiced our suspicions with Jack and his brother, but they just said to not to worry about it as it was most likely just Aro being Aro and wanting to be here to organize it and be more a part of what is going on.
And this does make sense with how he micro-managed everything to shit.
Today marks 1 week till the day we reveal the truth that will lead to Aro and his wife's downfall. The ceremony is being held in St. Luke's cathedral in the heart of this city, everybody who is anybody in this whole city and state of both the legal world and crime world is going to be there, including Jack and his wife Sally.
We have security covering every entrance as well. Everyone invited is only allowed one weapon and it had to be checked in as well as easily concealed so that no one panics or gets the wrong Idea.
Our reasoning for allowing this was because it could be far better protection than the security and seeing as we are very well respected and no one coming is enemies of each other we didn't want anyone to feel any anxiety like Edward felt when we met with Jack for the first time and get trigger happy.
During this ceremony we will make sure the caterers, well mostly just Victoria's friend Jenny so she knows the true names, but we found out she knows the names we gave Aro as she talks to him on a regular basis. It seems that the apple doesn't fall far from the tree because Aro has been sleeping with Jenny since she was 13 and first came to work for the Volturi's after they took her in off the streets as an orphan. She in turn helped recruit Victoria and it is why they were such close friends.
Seriously this family was fucked up, even Jane didn't know this last information and she almost ruined everything with how angry she got. Let's just say that if she was to ever turn to be an assassin she would have been ruthless, it even scared Van and he had to get his father to help lock her away for a few days in a sensory deprivation tank with a sedative to calm her.
But she came around back to her senses and they are looking into some help for her after this is all done. I think I actually feel a little sorry for Jane, after all she never actually did anything to me, so I guess she never deserved anything of what she has been through. I just hope that once her parents are gone, she can fully start to heal.
The reception or luncheon is going to be held right next door at the church's function center as it was large enough for what we needed. Here it will be where the second part of our plan will take place, once Jenny overhears the different names we know she will want to call him straight away.
We know this from what we have observed over the last few weeks. Every time she thought she had something to report, she would call or text Aro as soon as she was able to and usually excused herself to go to the bathroom to do so. So we are counting on the fact that Aro will be wanting to hear about the day badly and that she will call this info through.
To make sure she is not on her cell phone, we have jammed all cell phone reception within the church and reception hall, and then we have made ready with bugs the office space at the back of the church that's between the two buildings and along the corridor with a door that is marked as the office.
In this office there will be on the desk some paperwork in a file that will have set out to catch her eye. In this file will be a short version of the hit order on James and the other three as well as about what we planned with the wedding and the fact that I was already pregnant with Edward's children before I went into the marriage with James, where we just passed off the pregnancy as James'.
We are going to leave the computer and the scanner on for her to scan the documents through and email them to Aro, we know that while she is a little tech savvy, she isn't smart enough to fully cover her tracks. Not that it matters because we will have the computer set up where it is being watched by our tech surveillance team and they will let us know when she does this.
We will then let Jack know and he will send a message to Jane to get ready. From here Jane is going to see Aro try to rush out and get plane tickets to come back to the states to confront us for our treachery and she is going to 'help' him by organizing the tickets and the transport to the airport.
Then we already have a car that Aro will drive to the airport that will only last long enough to be driven to greet Aro and his wife, but won't make it to the airport. We have a failsafe in the car to ensure that it doesn't make it to its intended destination.
With Aro being such a control freak we know he will want to drive himself and that he won't wear a seat belt. The car should crash, but in a way that Aro and his wife will be pinned in the vehicle, but not die straight away, then Jane will walk up to them and fill them in on the fact that she helped us to bring them down and she will give the final order for their deaths.
Then Dorian will get his crew to clean everything up and it will be announced that Aro and his wife died in an accident on their way to the airport to come back to the states to deal with a suspected 'family' emergency that in his eagerness never confirmed if it were true or not.
I just hope that this works as I really do want this over so that Edward and I can just move on and live happily ever after…. Well as fairy tale as we can in our world.
I sit back in my office chair and stretch out before I lean forward and put my head in my hands and let out a big sigh.
"What is wrong?" Edward asks coming over to me after coming from changing and feeding the twins. He runs a hand down my back and starts to rub in soothing circles, while the other is leaning on my desk. I lift my head to look at him and tell him my fears for this plan and he smiles softly.
He kisses my head and then moves to his desk and lifts his phone up to call Alice in. I look at him in puzzlement just as Alice comes into the room.
"Yes, my big brother?" She says in a chirpy tone that makes it sound like she took a happy pill and walks like she has a spring in her step. Seriously if I didn't know her any better I would have thought she drank a massive amount of coffee that was laced with speed.
"Could you and Jasper look after the twins for us and take turns with Rosalie and Emmett to do so for the rest of the week as I want to take Bella somewhere to just de-stress before the christening. We will be back first thing the day before to finalize everything and to put the finishing touches on the ceremony and reception.
Also see if Bella's father, my father and our aunt and uncle would like to help you to make sure that you all can get everything done while we are gone. We will have our phones on us, but only for emergencies and also you will have to divert some of my meetings to being phone calls or reschedule them, tell them whatever is needed, but when you tell Jack let him know the real reason and only him."
I look at him as if he grew like a million heads as he orders his sister to take over business and be a babysitter. It is sexy as hell and I have to resist the urge to squirm in my seat from the rush of wetness that just hit my undies. It's been a while since we were last together intimately. Actually it's been since just before the twins were born and that was well and truly over 5 weeks ago.
It's almost been 6 weeks since the twins were born and I stopped bleeding last week. I was told that this wasn't unusual and I started taking contraception again, but I made sure to do my research this time. I have been trying to get Edward alone long enough to do something, but the most we have been able to do is oral and it was me giving to him, I was starting to think that Edward didn't want to touch me anymore.
Alice replies "Sure thing, just let me know when their next feed is and then make sure you enjoy your children's free time, you both more than deserve it." With that she walks back out the door and Edward sets about picking up a few things like his wallet and lets me know to do the same.
I see that Edward picks up the keys to James' compound. I was about to say something, but Edward comes over and gives me a searing kiss that leaves me breathless and wanting more. He pulls back and tells me to hold that thought and to go upstairs to pack a small bag of casual clothes and underwear. He'll be right up after me, but he just needs to make one phone call first.
I practically ran up the stairs to follow his request. I grab my weekend bag and pack a few essentials and toiletries as well as some sexy underwear that I got during a girls shopping trip.
Once this is done I hear Edward coming into the room. He goes into the closet and I hear him shuffling around in there getting his bag ready. When he comes out he then goes and grabs his essentials and toiletries from the bathroom and then once this is done he turns to me and pulls me to him and says in a low husky voice that is thick with lust
"Ready to go, my sexy baby mama?" I basically just melt into a puddle of goo at this, I let out a moan before simply nodding as I don't trust my voice. He chuckles and then grabs both bags and my hand and we walk back down to our office. Edward grabs the baby monitor as we pass the desks and then we walk to the door.
From here we continue out into where Alice and Jasper are sitting on the couch in her office, almost in the same pose as when I first came to Edward's office all those months ago. I just laugh this time and so does Edward as he puts the monitor on her desk before clearing his throat.
They just pull apart so quickly that Alice falls to the floor. We really start to laugh this time and Alice goes
"Hey that's not funny, you can't just sneak up on people like that as you could cause them to get hurt or give them a heart attack." She crosses her arms over her chest while trying to give us her most intimidating pissed off look, but it doesn't work and we just laugh harder. This gets her to laugh as well and once we sober up and stop laughing Edward says
"You should be paying more attention in case someone walked in like we did. What if it were dad instead of me?" She pales and Jasper gulps and Edward gives them a pointed look before adding
"That's what I thought. Now we are off, the monitor is on your desk so please try to keep an ear out for it going off. They shouldn't need anything for another 3 hours, but don't get too distracted just in case. See you in a few days." With that he grabs my hand and almost drags me out of Alice's office and kept going until we reach all the way to his parking garage.
He jumps into his Austin Martin after sitting me in the passenger seat and putting our stuff in the boot. He then takes off out of the building and drives to the main gate of Mason Estate. I am about to ask him where he is taking me and he tells me in a very dominant tone that I have only heard him use when he is working and it is also the voice he uses to command people to do as he wants them to do.
I knew that this tone always turned me on before, but that had nothing on now when he turns it onto me saying
"I am taking you somewhere you know and it is somewhere I can get you to stop overthinking and over analyzing everything as the stress is just going to make you slip up and we need to both get our heads in the game, plus I have been wanting to do something like this since I first saw you in there not long ago.
Now sit back and shut up and let me take control of things for a change, otherwise I will have to punish you and I don't want to do that… well not just yet anyway."
I look at him and see he is wearing a serious expression with the hint of his crooked grin. I love so much playing in the corner of his lips. I nod my head and he tells me to use my voice as he wants to hear me so I reply
"Ok sir" I don't know why I called him sir, but it seemed the right thing to do. I start to think and before I realize what is happening I feel a slap to my thigh that has me jumping and gasping at the same time with the combo of pain and pleasure just that contact gives me.
"Seriously Isabella, I know when you start analyzing something in that pretty little head of yours. Let this be a warning to you that I will not repeat, do not think too much during these next few days. Put everything out of that brilliant mind of yours and only focus on me and what I have planned for you." Edward says in his dominant tone that has me quickly responding without effort or thought
"Yes sir, sorry sir."
'Like what the…...' I stop the thought before it can form and decide that I trust this man with my life and I would do anything for him. I know that he gave me time to take the reins with him and his body so it would only be fair to let him have the same respect back.
I think I like this Edward as I am getting a glimpse into how he was before I came along and I realize that I want him to dominate me right now and every once in a while in the future. I hope that he would be comfortable letting me do the same.
I think that I now know where he is taking me to, James' BDSM playroom! We haven't done anything to it yet and I don't think either of us wants to as we both seemed to want to play in there. I know I loved it before when Edward took me there to let me find my feet with something I could control.
The sense of empowerment it gave me in a time that I was all over the place and needed that safe zone to just get back in control knowing that Edward wouldn't let me go further than he was willing to go and would have stopped me if he thought it was needed or before I went too far.
I gasp as his left hand trails up my thigh to move to rub between my legs, I see out of the corner of my eyes that he is smirking while still looking forward out the windscreen. He just strokes lazily, this both keeps me horny and wet and wanting more. As he drives he every once in a while tries to put a finger under my panties.
I don't know whether to be embarrassed or not, but I didn't care as this was so naughty it was hot. I opened my legs wider for him and angle my body so that it is easier for his hands to access. I look at him and see that he moans but his smirk is now a smile.
He manages to get a finger under my underwear and I don't bother to hold back my moan as he perfectly hits my clit and starts to make tight circles around it. All the while he is driving perfectly, makes me wonder if this is something he has done before and I want to say something, but I manage to stop myself because at the end of the day we both have had pasts and there is no point in me getting pissed at him for something that he isn't going to be doing with anyone else for the rest of his life but me and quite frankly I love that he is experienced in sex.
Because of the slow and torturous motion of his finger we reached James's compound right as I have a small, but nice climax that hinted at more later. He parked the car, grabbed our bags and came around to my side to help me out. I was glad that he did because I was rather wobbly on my legs.
He doesn't say anything as he takes my hand and starts to walk me into the building. Once inside he puts the bag down, locks the door and turns to me and says
"Bella, I hope you don't mind being back here, but I thought that we could reconnect with each other and I'm feeling like I have no control over things and I need to feel in control again of something so I am also hoping that you will let me do to you what I did for you."
I reach up and put my right hand on his cheek and reply with nothing but love lacing my tone
"Edward it is ok, I love you and that's all that matters. You don't scare me, plus I'll let you know if you hurt me or anything and you know that if you do hurt me I'll just kick your ass later."
I smile at my own joke and he leans down to place a gentle loving kiss to my lips. When he pulls away, I can see that his eyes are shining and he looks almost worried so I asked
"What's wrong, Edward?"
"Nothing really, Bella. I'm just worried that despite what you said I'm going to scare you and I also don't want to hurt you."
"It's ok, Edward. You didn't back down from me and all my crazy pregnancy hormones towards the end there before the twins were born. Quite frankly if I am being honest I think I need to have control taken away from me as I have been so in control for so long now that I need some perspective and I can only get that kind of perspective by having that control taken from me.
I know I can trust you, just like I know you would never actually hurt me in a way that would be irreparable. I am just as scary as you when I want to be and I know that as soon as I say stop you will, you know what I will and won't do and you know what I'd be willing to at least try and you can push a little bit with so you have no need to be worried.
You are the only man I have ever been with and with that first time you ruined me for all others, you claimed me as yours. So please just take whatever you need from me and my body because we need this break to get our head in the game for the christening. After this there is no going back and everything we have worked so hard for these last several long months is about to climax either beautifully in our favor or fall around our feet and we have a war on our hands with Aro."
I put both my hands on his face again and look deeply into his eyes as I add
"Edward, I love you"
I give him a kiss to show him how much I mean every word and when I break away from him I drop down to my knees at his feet and put my head down. I hear his gasp and I think for half a beat that I did the wrong thing and this wasn't what he meant, but then he tells me in his dominant tone that he reserves for his illegal business dealings
"Isabella, you are going to walk to the playroom and strip. Once you are completely naked, you are to sit on the floor just like you are now. You may use a pillow under your knees and leave your hair down.
From now until I say otherwise you are to call me Sir and nothing else. If for any reason you need me to stop this, just say stop. The same goes if you need me to pause or slow down or if you need the bathroom or water. I will stop for food where I will feed you so you don't need to ask me for that. Is this understood?"
I wait to answer as I figure if he wants to take control like this that it may be best to not speak unless told to do so. It's what I do when I am trying to work someone over to get info out of them.
"Good girl, you may answer"
"Yes I understand Sir"
"Ok then, go do as I ask and I will be with you in 20 minutes."
I get up and without looking at him I walk to the playroom that James was held in. Many would think that we were crazy for keeping this as is and not get rid of it after what happened in this room. Not to mention it was where that filth was held before his death, but while we have replaced everything within this room with new stuff that was just for our use only, we both like a little kinky fuckery every once in a while.
I am already so wet just from him talking to me like he just did, so that says a lot. I meant everything I told him before about needing to give up my control and I know he needs to take back control, with what we do for a living it is very easy to lose ourselves and become something that is less than human and as such we have needs that only being in an environment like this will bring us back.
I trust him with my life and I know he trusts me in the same way so while we won't do this all the time, it's a great way to get a release of these urges so they don't become a distraction that could lead to killing ourselves or someone we care about.
I have now stripped and am in position waiting for Edward to come in, as I am waiting I can't help the tingles that I feel in my core from anticipation. I know that this is precisely what he was aiming for with making me wait for him.
I can't wait to see what he has planned for these next few days.
