The last five days were difficult while I was arriving at the end of my pregnancy. I was drinking a lot of blood that helped with the pain, and Caius prepared healthy food to help me. Marcus and Carlisle searched for more information about my baby and Dora, Esme, Alice and Jane prepared the nursery for our little prince. Carlisle was checking me again, he was afraid as my due date was tomorrow even if Alice said that it would be ok. It was something new for him and he was afraid that my body would not be able to handle the pain and the strength of my baby.
Aro was a mess. He was happy about his son and wanted to have him on his arms but watching me groan in pain as our little one broke my ribs, was too much for him and today, he was brooding in our room, so I asked Carlisle to bring me to his side. He just looked at me and closed his eyes not daring to speak or touch me. My stomach was big, and I tried to walk to the couch where he was sitting but I groaned in pain after two steps. He looked at me panic in his eyes and he flashed to my side; he took me in his arms and carried me to our bed. He sat on the bed, looking at the floor and I had enough. I closed my eyes and I summoned all my strength to tell this silly vampire what I thought about his attitude.
"Aro Volturi, I hope you have an explanation of your latest behavior or after our son is born, I will be taking a plane to the States," I said angrily and he looked at me with shock and hurt in his eyes
"Isabella, what are you talking about!" he asked angrily
"You don't speak with me, you brood in our room and don't participate in all the preparation for the birth," I said now with tears in my eyes, "Maybe you realized that you are not interested in having us in your life. Carlisle could help me growing up my baby"
"Do not dare to take him from me Isabella Volturi," He yelled clasping my shoulder and I winced
"Tell me why you are so cold with me!" I yelled, and he closed his eyes
"I'm afraid, you are my best friend, my love, my mate and I'm afraid to lose you because I did this to you. I was so happy about our baby that I did not think how this could hurt you and when he broke your ribs, I would take the hurt from you if I could." He said looking down.
"Aro, this is hard for us, but we will be ok" I said nuzzling his neck and he shivered, "I missed you love"
"I'm afraid Isabella, I'm the most powerful vampire in the world and I'm scared every time I heard him hurting you," Aro said before kissing me softly
"Alice said that this will be difficult, but I will be ok, that he will be ok" I said, and he nodded
"I know but is hard, but I have to think that Alice is looking for us," Aro said smiling softly, "I'm sorry love"
"Tell me what you feel, I don't want you to feel alone or sad" I said caressing his head that was resting on my lap
"I feel so selfish, but I miss you love. I miss to feel you around me, to taste you and I know that for the moment I have to wait." He said making circles on my leg
"I miss you too Aro; just try to remember that when the little one will be with us, we will have so many babysitters that I will make up for all these days without our love" I told him kissing him softly.
Somebody was knocking the door and Marcus entered our room with Dora and Caius. They had some food and blood for me. I was joking about Aro sulking like a teenager when I felt a wave of pain through my back. I gasped, and they looked at me concerned.
"Call Carlisle, I think is starting now! " I yelled, and Caius bolted outside the room looking for my friend. "Aro, I need you to stay calm, Dora bring the bag I prepare with everything we could need for him and Marcus go tell the guard that Aro's baby is coming"
"Yes dear" They said, and I tried to concentrate on my breath while trying to calm down my beautiful husband.
"Bella, I need to check your contractions, so I will connect you to this machine and I will have to do some internal checks to check your dilatation." Carlisle said entering the room. "Aro, I need to prepare the bed so bring some linen and ask Jane to bring hot water. I have everything we could need with this.
An hour later, the contractions were even more painful, and I was not ready to push. Aro was massaging my lower back and Carlisle was looking at the monitor telling me when the contractions were coming. Alice, Esme and Dora came some minutes ago and Alice told me that it would be ok and that the baby was beautiful. I smiled, and I told her that I was sure he would be like his father and everybody laughed.
A big contraction hit me hard and Carlisle told me I had to push. I was so tired, and this was painful. I could feel all my body adjusting to the strange body trying to find a way out and I pressed Aro hands hard while I pushed and yelled that he would never touch me again. A cry filled the room and I felt all the tension and pain leaving my body. Our baby was born; Caleb Volturi was ready to meet his family.
Carlisle gave me my son after he cleaned him, and I looked at him while caressing his head. Would he want to drink blood or some milk? Caleb sniffed around and nuzzled against my breast, so I opened my gown for him and I tried to help him latch on my nipple but Aro stopped me and touched his son for the first time.
"It's ok, he only wants milk." Aro said smiling and caressing Caleb's hair, "He is so beautiful love"
"He looks like a mix of us with your dark hair and my brown eyes," I said looking at my son while I nursed him.
"His hair has some curls like your hair love," Aro said and I smiled
"Everything is ready and done." Carlisle said, "Your body will take some time to heal but it looks like is starting to heal now or your little one has an interesting power."
"What do you mean Carlisle?" Aro asked
"I think he healed Isabella because she looks like she never gave birth. Look at her body" Carlisle said and Aro gasped
I felt comfortable without pain and I finished nursing Caleb and change him before helping him to fall asleep. He looked so peaceful on his crib. Alice entered again and told us to go eat something that she would take care of Caleb with Dora and Esme. Carlisle was with Marcus and Caius on the office preparing the naming of Caleb and we would have some privacy for the first time in ten days.
