(Charlie's Pov – Holding Kate – Clearing With The Volturi)

She started to circle him as if she was a bird of prey and he was her prey. "Should I tell him, Caius?" The woman whispered loudly, that way we could all hear. "Should I tell them all what you had done?" Her eyes were pitch black expect for a pin hole of white in the center of her eyes. Her fangs were long and her face was paler then before as she looked down on the man that was in a bubble of some kind, who was shaking.

"Wh-What?" He stuttered as he shook trying to look at the other two vampires that came with him. Aro and Marcus. Yet the girl kept standing in between the three of them.

"Should I tell them that you had her killed?" She smiled even wider as she turned to Marcus. "Did you know he Killed your mate?" She asked innocently.

~Truth~ I heard in the back of my mind.

"I did not do anything to her." The man in the bubble hissed as he stood.

~Lie~

"He's lying." I spoke up letting go of my mate who grabbed my arm and shook her head with wide eyes. "I have to tell them what happened. This is why I was made. To help this family." I kissed her on the forehead and walked up beside the woman with long brown hair with red highlights. Her eyes were red but they had blue flecks in them.

"And who are you?" Aro turned to me holding out his hand. "If you don't mind, it may help."

~True~ I nodded taking his hand.

As soon as his eyes closed, I closed mine and was suddenly bombarded with all kinds of images. Isabella Swan, my daughter. Renee Dwyer the woman I loved but didn't love me. Billy Black, the man I killed when I first woke in this life. Also who was always there for me and even nodded before he nodded letting me know when I remembered that he was alright with his end. Phil Dwyer, the man that Renee finally married and was happy with. Everything came back from when Bells was a small baby to when she grew up and then finally came to live with me. I then remembered how I arrived and what happened before I was turned. I mentally made a note to ground Bella for a life time or two for not telling me about all this shit.

I also remembered a little browned skinned boy that I cared for as if he was my son, Jacob Black. Billy's son. How can I apologize to him for killing his father? That was inexcusable. When my eyes opened, I pulled my hand away and turned to Bella. I pulled her into my arms and drowned out everything else as I held my baby girl. I also had to admit that she was beautiful and so were the kids that were here. I would need to be introduced to them as well as the man that took care of Bella. I also needed to speak with Dr. Cullen because he and I needed to talk about a few things. When I pulled back, I could see that Bella's eyes were reddish gold with blue flecks. I smiled and kissed her forehead and could hear a whimper that caused me to look over at Bree who was holding onto Seth. I frowned and heard Bella whisper 'Later' as she turned back to Aro.

"Now I will show you what I saw in Caius' mind." Bella stepped forward and took Aro's hand.

I wondered what she was showing him but that didn't matter. All that mattered was the fact I was home and nothing could change that. It took no longer then when he held mine before Bella and Aro released each others hands. Their eyes met and suddenly Aro had the blond one, Caius, in his hands with the vampires feet not touching the ground. Caius' eyes were wide in fear and I could see him trembling.

"You dare kill my sister and Marcus' mate?" Aro hissed as he tightened his grip on Caius' throat. "I should kill you however that would be to easy. Jane come here." He ordered in a harsh tone.

Jane was at his side in an instant. "Master?" her eyes were down and I wondered if he would punish her and Alec because they did the act even though they don't remember.

"If you wish to prove yourself, I suggest that you take this vile creature back to Volterra where he will be tried and sentenced." Aro tossed Caius over and Alec and the other vampire grabbed him while Jane gave him some of her power it seemed. He was withering in pain as though he was being electrocuted.

"As you wish." Jane said with a sadistic grin on her face as she followed Alec and Demetri with Caius. Aro then look at his brother Marcus.

"Brother?" Marcus had been quiet all this time with his eyes closed.

Marcus walked over, took Bella's hand, kissed the back of it before raising and looking into her eyes. "Thank you child." He thanked her and I could see the venom welling in his eyes. "You have brought peace to my tortured soul." He kissed her on each cheek then left following after the other four.

Aro turned back to Bells and smiled. "I am sorry for all the pain that has been in your life." He took her hand again and smiled nodding. "I believe you are quite right." Aro looked at Carlisle. "Would you like to go back home old friend? You may stick to what ever diet you wish and may teach some of the vampires the difference while you are there. Sulpicia has been rather cautious on how she feeds."

"I would love that." Carlisle turned and looked at Emmett and Rosalie. "What ever you decide will be fine."

Emmett looked at me and Bella. "I'm gonna stay here with my family." I couldn't help but frown at that. Kate then came over and took my hand.

"We'll explain everything as soon as we get home." She whispered kissing my cheek. I just nodded.

"I shall wait for you at the border." Aro told Carlisle then took off in the direction of the others.

I stood back with Bree and Kate while Carlisle and Esme said their good byes then took off. I watched from a distance as my daughter, my baby girl, was picked up by Jasper and spun around in a circle. I could see his scars but they told me he could take care of my daughter and no one would even come within touching distance unless they were food.

(Bella's Pov – Iza Let Bella Take Over)

I was extremely happy that Aro along with Marcus were not the evil ones but Caius. I could see in his mind that he wished to rule the vampire world as well as the human. I couldn't let that happen thus I offered him up to his brothers. As soon as Jasper let me down, I turned my eyes to Charlie. He was watching me with venom filled eyes. I smiled and walked up to him.

"Hey dad." I whispered cutting my eyes to Kate then to the girl next to Seth. "Why don't you introduce me?" I smiled and waited for him to talk.

"Bells, I'm..." I didn't let him finish as I grabbed him and hugged him with everything I had.

Kate was standing back with a smile on her face as the young girl was frowning. Peter cleared his throat which caused me and Charlie to pull apart and look over at him.

"Why don't we head home?" He looked around at the ones that stayed behind. "The others are worried and Lil' bit needs ta introduce her daddy ta his grand kids." He smirked as he took off like a rocket.

Esme had showed up just as Aro had asked Carlisle if he wished to go and I had a feeling that Stella was the one who told her to come back. I would miss them but things were better now. Jasper took my hand and lead me back to the house with Charlie, Kate, Bree, Seth and Kyle running behind us. I wondered if Bree and Seth came back with Esme because they had left with the other group. I mentally shrugged as we got closer to the house and I was suddenly felt impatient and knew it was Harley projecting his feelings.

"Someone is impatient." Jasper murmured smirking as his eyes cut to Charlie. "Guess they know their other grandpa is comin'."

"What's their names?" Charlie asked as we broke through to the front yard and slowed down to a human walk.

"Lucesme Kyisle Whitlock and Harley Davis-Jazz Whitlock." I told him hoping Charlie wasn't upset about the kids names.

Kate held Charlie's hand. "You will be very shocked when you meet them." She told her mate and I was glad it was her and not Tanya.

I wondered if Tanya had a mate around here somewhere but they just haven't met as of yet. When we were close enough, Rosalie – with Lucesme in her arms, along with Lucia, who had Harley, Kyle, Allie, Jacob, Stella, Paul, Eric, Emmett, and Leah were all standing out front. I still couldn't believe that Harley and Lucesme still needed to be held even at their size. It seemed to me that they were growing but it was slowing down.

"Dad." I said taking his hand and leading him over to where Harley and Lucesme were. "These are your grandchildren." I told him as I held my hand out to the kids.

Harley jumped down and Lucesme was right behind him. They flitted over and stood in front of Charlie and I. "Hello grandpa!" They smiled brightly as they took his hands.

Charlie froze as the twins decided to use their power on him. I stood back with Jasper behind me watching as Charlie and the kid bonded. I knew that Charlie would have liked to see into the past two years and I believed that they were showing him. I just hoped that everything would settle down. I knew that Kyle and Lucia would no doubt invite Charlie into their home until he could build his own money up. I now had eternity with Charlie, my mate and kids not to mention that it looked as though I got a little sister out of the deal. I did feel sorry for Bree because of the fact she was changed so young. Being only 16, she would need to stay with Charlie and Kate or Seth. I wondered how that would work out but I just let the future play itself out.

Victoria was gone and my life was good. Irina and Laurent were speaking to Kyle and Lucia while everyone else split into different groups. Some went to hunt while others went home. The wolves with mates took their mates with them as they went home and I wondered how things would go when Seth would age and Bree wouldn't but that was a worry for later. I was just happy that I had a wonderful life even though it was filled with so much pain and hardship, I would do it all over again if I had to because the ending is the best part.

We can finally life in peace.

(3rd Person Pov – Volterra, Italy – The Next Morning)

Aro, Marcus and Carlisle were sitting on the thrones as Demetri and Felix brought in Caius. He was pale and had bruises under his eyes. Jane, Alec and Esme were standing beside Carlisle as Caius was tossed into the center of the room where he stayed. Alec had numbed him that way he couldn't run but could hear and answer when spoken to. Marcus was feeling better because of the fact he found his mates killer. Even though it was Jane and Alec that killed Didyme, Marcus understood that it was Caius that had set the whole thing up and wiped the twins memories that way Aro couldn't find out. Carlisle and Esme still had golden eyes but they were wearing the cloaks of the Volturi as well as the crest of the Brothers.

"Do you know you have been imprisoned?" Aro asked standing, his arms were behind his back.

Caius didn't say a word but nodded his answer. He understood that for killing a Lady of Volterra it was death. Athenodora was standing in the arms of Esme crying tearlessly as she watched her husband being tried for his crime against his own venom brother. Jane and Alec felt used because even though they liked the pain the could cause or take away then cared for Didyme like most of the residence in the castle.

Aro nodded as his brother. "Since you acknowledge your crime you will be killed swiftly." He snapped his fingers.

Demetri and Felix went to work ripping Caius apart. A pile of Caius' body part was built and Marcus walked forward with a torch and lite the pile on fire then stepped back. They watched as Caius body burned and finally became ashes. Jane walked over and took the ashes, placing them in an urn. She then turned, walking over to Athenodora and handed the urn to her. Athenodora took the urn but instead of keeping it she went over to Marcus and knelt at his feet. She held the urn up, which meant that she wished for him to decide the fate of her husbands ashes. Marcus looked at the woman that was with the cruelest vampire in their world and noticed she looked relieved to have Caius gone from her life.

"Please take these and do what you wish." She whispered yet everyone could hear. "My husband was not a good man and you have done me a great deal in taking him from this life." She started to dry sob and before Esme could get to her, Marcus dropped to his knees and pulled the crying woman into his arms, finding that even though his mate was gone, he could help another since the weight of his beloved mates death.

"Marcus, will you tend to Athena?" Aro asked using the woman's nick name that they all called her. "I have some things to discuss with the newest leader." He smiled also feeling a weight lift off his chest even his dead heart.

Marcus nodded as he gathered Athenodora and headed out of the throne room to her room. However she asked if they could go to his because of the fact she never wished to step foot in the hell she had to live in since she married Caius. Aro watched as his brother and sister in law walked down the hall before he turned to Carlisle who he had to admit looked good in the throne that Caius just occupied not two days ago.

"Old Friend, Carlisle, I would like you to tell me anything you would like to do in order to help the vampires of the world." Aro walked over and stood in front of Carlisle, who had Esme in his lap.

Carlisle nodded as he looked at Esme. "Esme and I know that most vampires only wish to feed of human blood so I was wondering if there wasn't another solution as to going out and taking maybe an innocent life in the process when there are countless others that can be saved with one evil human's death." Aro frowned as he thought about this.

"And who do you deem them evil?" Aro had also thought of this but the picking and choosing were something he couldn't decided on.

"The ones who rape, kill, or are already close to death's door." Esme answered hoping not to get in trouble with her outburst. "Rosalie was raped and almost beaten to death before Carlisle found her and changed her. He never has made a vampire unless they were on deaths door."

Carlisle nodded. "We can ask Peter and Charlotte Whitlock. They have lived this way for years and each time they take about two rapist or killers off the streets." He then thought a moment. "It is also easier if the vampires have a gift that they can pick and choose the right candidate."

"But what of the vampires that it effects their gifts and causes them to start to lose their mind?" Demetri asked stepping up. He was also part of the discussion along with Jane and Alec. Felix was there just to keep the peace since his power was strength like Emmett.

"Jasper may be able to help on that one." Esme whispered dropping her head. "When Alice first found him, Jasper was a shell of a vampire only feeding when it was absolutely necessary because of the fact he could feel the emotions of his victims and it was killing him slowly." She looked at Demetri. "If it is too much to feed from humans, because of a gift such as an empath, then feeding from animals or donation bags are good. That is what Kyle and Lucia do. They have a special benefactor that delivers the extra blood they have but they never take the rare kinds because they are needed for the humans."

"Then that is what we shall do." Aro nodded feeling like this was a new time for the vampires.

Hopefully, they could find a way to coexist and not have to hide from the humans but Aro was leery. There would be a day and time to decided but now was not it. As the day went on, the leaders of Volturi went about their days and finally the vampire would could rest. Nothing was on the horizon or Stella would call and let them know. Emmett, Rosalie, Charlie, Kate, Jasper, The kids and Bella would be showing up not long after everything was settled.

They could finally look to a happy eternity with the ones they loved.
