"Wear this. I haven't had the chance to." Rose said putting a see through robe over her lingerie set. Destiny sighed rolling her shoulders.

"It's beautiful, Rose." She complimented spinning.

"Don't do that." Rose giggled fixing the bow on it.

"What's going on?" Kate asked walking in.

"Lingerie testing." Rosalie answered.

"Carlisle will love that." She gestured to Destiny's body making the woman look away bashfully.

"I'll wear it then." The blonde nodded allowing her out of the room.

Destiny found her mate rather quickly chosing to hide until Garrett left. Carlisle stiffened when she wrapped her hands boldly around his waist and into his pants.

"Destiny..." She hummed kissing the back of his neck. He turned and she giggled backing away innocently.

"Carlisle. Don't." She attempted to block his hands giggling.

"You started this."

She pulled his close making him grunt. "But can I finish you..."

The two laughed before falling onto the couch.

--------

A week after Christmas, the snow began sticking.

They set up a bonfire while waiting. Aiden was excited by his first bonfire.

"Mommy, it's so pretty!" Everyone chuckled as she chased him with a safe distance around the flames.

Destiny couldn't help but tense knowing that she would have to run with him if things went south. That was what she and Carlisle agreed with. Jake would take Nessie and she would take Aiden. They would split up and she would go to Northern Canada in their old cabin. Jake would take Nessie and keep moving.

-----

When the morning came and she saw the black cloaks begin the trickle into the clearing, she almost took off at the sight of them. They reeked power.

Carlisle held her close before walking away. She grabbed his hand and he looked back.

"Don't do anything reckless." She said firmly. He nodded and she pulled him again. "And don't die..."

He kissed her forehead nodding silently.

"Aro's looking for Alice." Edward informed them. Destiny nodded. The wolves stalked out with howls of their own.

Leah stopped next to Destiny licking her chaps. The two looked at each other and turned towards the front.

Destiny watched as they pulled their hoods off. Aiden gulped shuffling uncomfortably behind his mother's legs. His eyes turned towards Leah and he hid again.

"Aro, let us discuss things as we use to. We're civilized now."

"Fair words, Carlisle. But a little out of place considering the battalion that you've summon against us."

"I assure you that was never my intent. No laws have been broken."

The blonde man looked perplexed "We see not 1 but 2 children. Do not take us for fools."

"They are not immortals. These witnesses can attest to that." Destiny yelped as Aiden ran towards his father and wrapped around his leg. Carlisle looked down and pat his head. "You can look. Look at the flush of human blood in her cheeks or the warmth that they radiate."

"Artifice!" Caius screams.

Aro held up an arm, "I will collect every facet of the truth but from two people more central to the story. Edward as the child clings to your mate, I assume you are involved. And Carlisle..." His eyes looked down at the coven leader's leg "Well that should be obvious."

The two separate themselves walking over to Aro. Destiny held Aiden back as he heaved and cried in discomfort.

Aro takes Edward's first before grabbing Carlisle's. His face growing excited.

"May I meet them?" Aro asked as if it was a request and not a demand. Destiny began walking confidently having heard the demand. Aiden stumbled at her feet through the snow.

Bella soon followed at Edward's signal. Jacob followed them both.

Aro's head tilted curiously at Destiny. "She's gorgeous. Immortality suits you dear."

Destiny looked away bashfully almost forgetting that he was an enemy. "Thank you. It is nice to finally meet you, Aro."

"So well mannered..." His gazed dropped to her son that had found his way to the bottom of Aro's cloak. Aiden and Aro stared each other down almost curious of one another.

"Aro..." Aiden punctuated.

"And I believe your name is Aiden. Aiden Cullen." Aro greeted holding out his hand. The boy shook his hand gathering the leader's future moves as Aro gathered his past.

"My opposite..." He gasped letting the boy's hand go.

Destiny grabbed him pulling her son back. Aiden looked up between his two parents.

"Half mortal and half immortal. Concieved and carried by this newborn, Destiny, while she was still human. Not even that but with a gift of the same league as my own."

"Impossible." Caius gasped in fear.

Aro laughed at that looking curiously at the blonde haired boy. "He looks just like you, Carlisle."

"I'm aware." Aiden's dark orbs trained on Alec, whose hands were covered in black smoke.

"Mommy..." He pulled her dress and she tilted her head. "Don't take it in."

Destiny's eyes widened as her vision went black for a moment. She covered her face and could just barely hear Carlisle and Aro's voice.

"Alec, put it away. Be respectful." Aro snapped and Destiny fell to the ground coughing violently.

Carlisle snarled holding her close. The entire coven and witnesses seemed tense.

"Aro." Aiden called and the man looked to the little boy. "There's no law broken here. Why do you insist? Control your guard."

"Well aren't you a smart one." He stated. "But is there no danger?"

Destiny looked up at Carlisle and in response, her mate nodded.

"We know nothing of these children. To spare ourselves a fight, today... Only to die, tomorrow."

"You're scared I'll dethrone you, Aro." The man turned quickly as the boy smirked. "You're scared that I'll make everything you built up... Burn."

Destiny was shocked by her son's bold accusation. Carlisle seemed proud.

"Who said you're a match for me, Boy."

"I have a name. It's Aiden Rose Cullen!" He yelled.

"Well then, Aiden Rose Cullen. Do you think yourself better than Aro?" Caius asked cockily.

"Do you think Aro is better than you?" The boy retorted.

Caius growled only to be stopped my Aro's arm.

"Alice!" He cried happily as the pixie haired woman walked onto the scene.

Aiden watched curiously as everyone walked closer almost ready to fight.

"I have proof that the children won't be a threat to our kind. Let me show you." She asked holding her hand out.

Aro flapped his coat "Your visions are unsure."

"But..." She gasped.

Aiden growled aggressively "Don't talk to my sister like that."

Destiny snuck in behind her mate as her gift came to life. She blended perfectly into the snow becoming invisible to the naked eye.

Carlisle was slightly shocked but grabbed their son anyway.

The standstill was immensely panic inducing. Nobody except Aiden knew the next move.

"Dodge." Aiden said simply to Aro.

"Dodge?" He jumped to the side as Jasper jumped up throwing one of the guards at him.

"I've been searching for my own witnesses. A witness that can prove the children will be able to keep the secret and not be known." Alice attempted to reason as two tribal members joined the fray.

"And... We are done with these witnesses- Let them speak, brother." Aro interrupted.

"I'm half human, half vampire like the children. A vampire seduced my mother and she died at my birth. My aunt raised me as her own and I made her immortal."

"How old are you?" Bella asked

"150 years."

"And what age did you reach maturity?" Aro asked glancing towards the boy in Carlisle's arms.

"7 years after my birth. I have not changed since."

"And your diet?"

"Blood. Human food. I can survive on either." The man responded.

"These children are much like us." Marcus gasped.

"But they're consulting with werewolves!" Caius accused picking at straws.

"Brothers, there is no danger here, today." Aro announced "So we will not fight, today."

Everyone watched as the black cloaks began speeding away leaving Aro. He looked at Aiden.

"Next we meet young Aiden, I will look forward to seeing your strength at maturity." He said before following his coven.

Aiden nodded and climbed down from his father to see his mother standing where Aro was previously.

"We have them on the run. Now is the time to attack!" Everyone ignored him shaking their heads.

"You're all fools! The Volturi might be gone but they will never forgive what happened here. What that boy has done challenging Aro."

Aiden giggled shaking his head and kissing his mommy. The wolves howled in victory as they all went home.
