Looking around our new house, I feel the exhaustion begin to kick in and decide to go try out our new bed with a much needed nap. Jasper was back at the main house looking at what different paints were on hand and if we wanted any for our home, so now is a good time. Getting comfy on my side, I finally let myself doze into a hopefully peaceful dream.

Heavy double doors open into a spacious, stone room with three large cathedral thrones, a blonde woman walking towards them.

"What is the nature of this allegation?" The man in the center chair speaks, the two men beside him stare blankly ahead.

"I—I believe that the uh, the Cullen's have committed a crime." She admits, her voice shaking due to her own conviction being weak.

"And what crime would that be?" The blonde male sneers at the woman, leaning forward in his chair.

"That they've created an immortal child."

I wake from my nap suddenly, searching for my phone to tell Jasper about the strange dream, worried it was less of a dream and more of a vision.

"Sophia? You alright?" The phone rings once before I hear my husband's worried voice.

"I'm alright, but I had a very concerning dream." I hear some slight shuffling, as I sit up in bed.

"Whenever you're ready darlin', I have you on speaker phone with Alice." That both makes me feel better and terrifies me at the same time.

"Okay...It started and I was following a blonde haired woman into a giant stone chamber, with three throne-looking chairs. Apparently she called the audience with them, and she said something about our family committing some crime."

"Irina, Bella said something about running into her while they were outside...."

"She must've seen Ness then... but what is an immortal child?" I ask, not understanding that term.

"Soph, I'll be right there to walk back to the house with you. We all need to be together for this conversation." Jasper states urgently and as I hang up the phone I hear the front door open and grabbing one of Jasper's jumpers I meet him downstairs.

"Jasper, what's going on?" My worry is evident, and I don't know what this could mean for our family.

"Bella mentioned something about seeing Irina while they were outside, and that she seemed off. Yet with your vision it's taken a personal turn." We walk with urgency and make it back to the house in half the time it usually takes us. Everyone is gathered in the living room, Edward playing the piano lightly with his daughter.

"What is an immortal child?" I ask in the silence, wanting to know what it is we are being accused of. Carlisle sighs and the entire room tenses.

"An immortal child is frowned upon and highly illegal in the vampire world. They are incredibly beautiful, but their development is frozen at the age they were turned. They couldn't be taught or restrained, even a single tantrum could wipe out an entire village." My eyes widen at Carlisle's description. No wonder the confusion when seeing Ness...

"Since the children couldn't keep our secret, they had to be eliminated. The creators of these children would grow extremely attached. The Denali's mother created a child like this and their family was torn apart."

"So that's why it was personal. Irina thought we had made the same choice." I connect the dots, understanding why she would jump to this conclusion.

"Well, Renesmee isn't anything like those children. She was born, not bitten. She grows more each day."

"And you can't just explain that to the Volturi?" Jake questions sincerely.

"Aro has enough proof in Irina's thoughts." My heart sinks at hearing this... I don't know what we will do..there's no way we could win a fight.

"If they won't listen to us, then maybe others can convince them of our innocence. Carlisle, you have friends around the world right?" Edward brainstorms and this is crazy enough to maybe work...

"I won't ask them to fight."

"Not fight, witness. If enough people know the truth, maybe we could convince the Volturi to listen."

The plan seems like it could work, and it's the only one we have so far therefore we cling to it, the family quickly making travel plans to different countries in order to begin asking for help. I'm at a loss, not knowing what to do seeing as I don't have any of those connections, and my entire situation doesn't help me much. What would they do if they discovered, not only Bella carrying a child, but myself as well. Especially with it seeming so normal and not nearly as deadly as Bella's...

"Jasper..." I gain his attention before pulling aside from everyone. "What are we going to do?" I feel the panic begin to bubble up, at just thinking that our own child can be in danger.

"We are going to be just fine. Our child will be okay. I will hide you in this house to know that everyone is safe." Jasper does well to convince me, until I remember the Volturi's gifts.

"But what about the mind reader—Aro. Won't he be able to see me in everyone's thoughts?" Jasper's eyes widen, obviously not thinking about that.

"Let's speak to Carlisle and Edward before everyone leaves." We find both men in the office where it seems Carlisle is gathering passports and foreign money for everyone, and Edward looks to us both as we enter the room.

"There's no guarantee that Aro will see Sophia or her condition, but I can't guarantee full secrecy either." Edward begins and I feel my heart drop, causing me to have to sit in a nearby chair, clutching my bump close, feeling the urge to vomit.

This can't be happening. We've come this far, and now there's no guarantee for our safety...

"In our travels, I will see if anyone knows of anybody with shield capabilities or of another way to hide her." Carlisle speaks with a reassuring tone, but a shake my head.. too far into my own worries.

"Sophia, you know the effects of stress on your body right now. You must breathe, and trust us." Carlisle says grasping my hands while he squats to my level, forcing me to look in his amber eyes, before he looks at Jasper.

"You both must trust us."
