Rosalie didn't believe Edward on Gaia's word that there were no love spells .
Alice had successfully turned her against Gaia .
Rosalie lost her privilege to getting to help care for Orion because of her new hateful attitude towards the Witch . It was Edward's decision to keep the baby from her .
He started to regret coming home because of his family now slowly turning against his wife .
Even Esme seemed to believe Alice because Alice's visions were all they believed in .
Gaia wanted to leave the house . She wanted to take Orion and walk away from this toxic situation.
Edward didn't agree with her . He wanted to give his family a chance . Yet it was like that was just going to be a waste of time.
She sat shut away in their room , caring for Orion everyday , feeling alone and miserable .
Edward wasn't always there with her . He had to hunt and spend time with his brothers .
It was hard for her . She wasn't welcome anymore in this house and knew it.
The baby started to fuss a lot . He could feel his mother's moodiness.
He turned from a well behaved baby to one that cried mostly .
It made her want to cry .
On a rare occasion ,when he wasn't crying , she found herself staring outside miserably .
Her thoughts were on the fact that Edward was downstairs where his family were and she was alone with their son .
Was she losing him ?. She hoped not . She had lost so much since her first breath in this world.
Her mother . Her father . Dumbledore . Lupin . Harry's family .Fred Weasley. Cedric Diggory. And a whole lot more people that she simply didn't want to be reminded of .
A tear slipped down her left cheek . She didn't wipe it away .
" Why am I even here ?", she thought sadly .
She didn't know the answer to that question. Being in a house where she's not really welcome was....She didn't have a word to describe the feeling .
She'd rather be in her Mum's cottage ,tucked away in a chair with her favourite book ,than being sitting shut away in a room with only her baby and her owl for company.
She was tempted to leave and go seek out her last remaining family on her Mum's side .
She'll take her child with her . Go see her Grandparents and then leave for England again.
But she couldn't do it. Not without Edward .
She loved him too much to leave him for the bats .
She looked up when the door to the room opened .
She was only slightly surprised to see Emmet coming inside without asking permission.
" Shut away in here again ?", he asked , looking at her with a friendly grin upon his face.
She shrugged which could mean anything . He frowned at that.
" Not gonna say anything , I see. Look , if you don't want to it's okay . I'm here to ask that you let Rose hold Orion again . She really likes him . It's hurting her that he's being kept away from her. So , please can she hold him ?. "
Gaia sighed . Was he really begging her while she wasn't the one keeping Orion from Rosalie ?.
It was Edward's decision and Rosalie's attitude .
Before she could voice that thought Edward came walking into the room .
" Do you still want to go to Grove Hill , Virginia ?", he asked her, ignoring Emmet, who probably won't leave until she gave Rosalie permission.
A smile tugged at her lips . " Good Godric , Yes, Edward . I'd like to ."
He smiled and nodded. " Let's pack up and go . I'm done with being here . "
She nodded and stood up from where she sat , walking over to the closet to get her clothes and whatnot that she'll need.
" We'll take everything ," Edward said as he helped her pack ," I'm sorry, but we'll have to shrink Atlas again in his cage . "
She waved a hand dismissively . " It's quite alright , Edward . We cannot exactly carry around an owl and stand out . "
He only nodded at that .
Once they were packed she shrunk their suitcases and the cage , packing them in her handbag , while Edward walked over to Orion's cot to get him so she could shrink his cot too .
Emmet , realising that they are really going to leave ,beat him to it , picking up Orion and rushing out of the room.
" Emmet !", Edward shouted furiously after him .
He grabbed Gaia , Vamp-speeding them both down the stairs where Emmet was about to hand over Orion to Rosalie.
" Expeliarmus!", Gaia cried out the word for the Disarming Spell and pointing her wand straight at him .
The baby flew out of his arms ,right at hers and she caught him quickly , holding him close to her .
Everyone else who was around , except for Edward, stood gaping at her .
Edward on the other hand gave his brother a hard look ." That was uncalled for , Emmet. He's my child . I have the right to keep him from whoever I want . Anyway , we're leaving . We might not come back. You gave us no choice with your incessant awful treatment of my wife . Just because Alice has been poisoning you all against her , doesn't mean her, and I quote , " I've seen it" little sentence works on me anymore . Gaia's my life now . Get over yourselves . And if I don't come back again it'll be your own doing . Maybe I should just denounce myself from this family and leave forever . "
With that he grabbed Gaia again and Vampsped them both up the stairs again.
Carlisle's face fell as Edward's words resounded in his mind .
He was going to lose his first son and all because of ....No ,Alice wasn't lying . Edward was under a spell and they needed to remove him from the caster. That meant he couldn't leave ,but Gaia should .
Edward heard that thought of Carlisle . He looked at Gaia who was ready to leave at a moment's notice .
" Can you apparate us to the airport ?," he asked .
She nodded , grabbing his hand . " You hold Orion ", she said, pushing him into his arms ," Hold him against your chest. I don't want him to get splinched because we weren't careful enough ."
He nodded , pulling the boy flush against him .
Then she twisted slightly on the spot and Edward saw the room around them disappear.

Carlisle and everyone heard the loud pop and rushed to Edward's room .
There was nothing there . Not even a single piece of clothing.
" Goodness , I've been too late ," Carlisle let out , frustration clearly in his voice.
" What do you mean ?", Esme asked .
He sighed , pinching the bridge of his nose. " I shouldn't have thought of removing Edward from Gaia . Now he's heard me and I think she just took them away from here ."
" The airport in Seattle. There's where they've gone . He asked her if she could appa-something them to the airport", Emmet spoke up ," We need to go there ."
" They might've already gone . There's no guarantee that they'd still be there ," Rosalie said ,her eyes sad because the baby was gone too .
" Well, let's go there . We can find out where they've gone from there ", Jasper said .
Carlisle nodded ." Good idea . Come on. Jasper and I will go and you call Alice . See if she can see something ."
Esme and Rosalie nodded . They weren't really sure if Alice would see something ,but they hoped that she could.
🌸🌸🌸
Alice glared at her phone . Of course she couldn't see Edward and that Witch , but she had to pretend now because of her lie about the love spell .
She looked at Bella who was doing some assignment from college .
" I gotta go ,Bella . There's some family issues at home that needs to be solved . I'll tell you more details later ,"she said and with that she rushed out of the Swan's house leaving a confused Bella behind .

Gaia stood patiently waiting for Edward to come back from the ticket counter .
He was going to buy plane tickets to an airport in Virginia. It would be one nearest to Grove Hill . She had him in her sights . She was afraid that his family might do something because he'd explained to her what Carlisle had thought .
She didn't want to lose her husband because of people believing lies from someone who knew nothing of the Wizarding World. Ignorance was a dangerous thing right now .
She smiled when Edward walked back to her . She felt a little bit relieved that he wasn't being taken away from her by his ignorant family.
He halted by her , giving her a soft kiss on the lips .
" We've got an hour . It's going to be too long . Can you hide us ?."
She shrugged . " Sure . But we might get in trouble with MACUSA for doing magic in front of Muggles."
" You think that there's a Wizarding Community here?."
She nodded . " There's a Wizarding Customs office over there ", she said pointing left to a door that looked like a normal unimportant poster for some movie that hadn't been watched in ages .
" Let's go there ," he said , grabbing her hand .
She nodded again and followed him. They disappeared just in time because a few seconds later Carlisle and Jasper walked through the airport , keeping a lookout for them .

" Please give us your wand and your No-Maj I.D please ," a Wizard in neat grey robes spoke to a man in the line in front of Edward and Gaia.
The man handed him the two items . Gaia shivered , but not from the cold . She was scared that this was taking too long .
What if Carlisle found the door or one of the others?. They'd come in there and they'd see her and Edward.
Edward's arm that was around her tightened . For a brief moment her thoughts had been clear to him .
" We'll be okay ," he whispered ," We're safe for now ."
She nodded , but didn't comment .
Then the line moved and they were suddenly there at the counter and Edward spoke for them .
The Wizard behind the counter helped them exchange their newly acquired tickets for Floo powder .
" Your wife's wand and your No-Maj I.D , please ".
Gaia handed over her wand . The Wizard checked it over and nodded writing something down on a slip before handing it back to her .
It wasn't long before they were allowed to use a fireplace . A Witch assisted them by telling them the name of the small Wizarding Community area where they'd be going in Virginia . A small Floo network office will be their destination .
Edward went first with their son and when she got in the fireplace next ,the last thing she saw was Jasper and Carlisle walking into the Wizarding Customs office .
She caught Carlisle's eye just before she was swept away through other fireplaces .
