This is a twilight fanfic. I do not own any of the characters. The story will basically have the same pace as the book. most will be the same with the exception of Damon and Katherine. I writing this because I was asked and because why not. Also it will mostly center on Bella and her Mom..katherine. It is also A Katherine/Tanya parring. there is not a lot of parings for Tanya so just a warning.

BELLA POV

I concentrated on my breathing, counting each movement of my lungs, and stared at the patterns that the bathroom light made on the shiny fabric of my skirt. I was afraid to look in the mirror. Afraid the image of myself in the wedding dress would send me over the edge into a full-scale panic attack.

Alice was back before i had taken two hundred breaths. She was in a lilac dress that flowed down her slender body like a silvery waterfall.

"Wow. Alice you look incredible."

"Its nothing. No one will be looking at me today. Not while you're in the room."

"Har Har. Sure Alice."

She stepped forward to grab my hand and run smooth circles on the inside of it.

"Now, are you in control of yourself, or do I have to bring Jasper up here?"

"They're back? Has my mom arrived yet?"

"Actually yes, Katherine and her date just walked in the door. They are on their way up."

Katherine Mikaelson. One of the most feared of the original Vampires. Except to me she is not, to me she is the women that raised me. The women that has been my mother figure for the past eighteen years of my life. I always give thanks to whatever force in the universe made it possible for this incredible women to stumble in my life.

"White suits you my dear Isabella." the sweet,sultry British accented voice of the nineteen year old looking vampire made its way towards me. My mother was looking at me with soft eyes that have only ever been reserve for me.

" and silver always made your eyes seem a lighter blue." She was wearing a sliver dress that hugged every curb in her body. I can't imagine what Mike will do when he sees her again.

"Thank you darling." she moved from the door way and wrapped her arms around me in a tight embraced. The scent of pine trees and salty air filled my senses relaxing my nerves the same way it did when I was a child. I felt safe.

"I miss you mom."

"I missed you as well my child."

A loud, gruff throat clearing in the doorway interrupted

"Kathy, this gorgeous looking women named Esme informed me its time to go to our place."

Staying in the door way was the last person I expected to be here.

"I'm impressed, you clean up nice damon."

"Thank you Bella dear, but this was all your mom. She basically gave me a makeover trying to calm her nerves about this whole thing."

"Is it really time already." My mothers soft voice interrupted. She sounded almost as nervous as i felt. Sometimes I think i got that from growing up with her. " I believe I will be needing a few drinks before this starts."

"Just be sober enough to walk me down the aisle mom. Now give me another hug before you go make trouble."

She gave me a light hug and wheeled for the door, Only to stop and face me again.

"Bloody hell, im so nervous I almost forgot! Damon, where is the box?"

He rummaged in his pockets for a minute and produced a small silver box and handed it to her.

"Something blue and something old." she said while handing the small silver box to me. I pulled the lid off and inside was a silver ring with the shape of an octagon and a circle in the middle which held a blue Gem.

"My mother made eight rings the exact same shape and style. This one belonged to me. When I found you the night you were born I asked Bonnie to make me another. I haven't wore that ring since that night. I had wish to give it to you someday and this seems like the perfect day. You might not be a Mikaelson by blood but you were raised like one. Don't ever forget that love."

My throat got all thick and it was suddenly hard to breath. The only thing that kept me up was my mothers hand caressing my cheek. "Mom...are you sure?"

"of course darling. Plus, Alice wouldn't let me do anything else," my mom said " Everytime I tried, she all but ripped my throat threw the phone."

Alice stepped up and quickly put the ring onto my right middle finger. "That's something old and something blue."

"Oh trust me gorgeous that ring is old as time it self." damon snickered from the doorway still.

I had to bite my tongue to hold back my laughter at the reaction my mother had.

"Anyways, you are officially perfect." Alice with a congratulatory smile turned to my mother." Katherine you need to go downstairs and wait for the bride."

"Yes ma'am" my mother winked my way and hurried out the door.

KATHERINE POV

When I gaze up at the heaven above,

Sensing warmth and hunger for your love,

Many roses surround your beautiful face,

A feeling of romance envelops this place…

White... the meaning of purity and innocence. The embodiment of Isabella.

"She will be alright you know."

"I do not doubt that Damon. I never have. I trust Edward to protect her from anything. But.." I could not bring myself to finish that sentence. If only Niklaus could see me now. He would probably stake me as a lesson that feelings make you weak.

"She's your daughter, you love her. She has been good for you. you have changed in this short amount of time."

"It's amazing what little hands, chubby cheeks, and big brown eyes can do. but regardless, deep down I am still the same. I became what she needed and I don't regret my decision one bit."

I could feel strong arms envelop me. No matter what life has thrown at me, Damon has always been there. Either to raise hell with me or to put my heart back together.

"I need to go to my seat before that little pixie decides to cut my head off." Damon kissed my cheeks and headed towards his seat.

Not long after , Alice came down the stairs with Isabella holding her hands. A musician began playing the piano signaling the start of the ceremony.

Before Isabella made it down the last step she trips " easy there darling." I turn to Alice nervously.' she looks a little sick. Do you think she will make it?" i ask her low enough for human ears not to hear.

"She will be alright."

Alice changed places with me and stood infant of Isabella. "Focus, Bella. Edward is waiting for you a few feet away."

Isabella took a few deep breaths trying to calm her nerves and to my surprise leaned into me and inhaled deeply. she must of notice my surprise " you smell like the ocean."

I chuckled at her adorableness. Before anything else could be said the music changed and her heart skipped a beat. All i could do was squeeze her hand in reassurance. Alice smile at us and spoke " Its my turn!" she chimes." Count to five and follow me."

She began a slow, graceful dance towards the altar. " I always forget how cheerful she can be." I mutter to myself. "Tell me darling, why did you only choose one bridesmaid?"

"I don't know but right now I'm regretting it."

A sudden fanfare thrilled through the soaring music. Isabella recognized her cue and held my arm tighter.

"Don't let me fall, mom." she whispered

" never."

i started guiding us forwards. I could feel Isabella Blood flood to her cheek at the sound of murmurs and the rustling of the audience. As soon as we came into view she started looking for Edward but she was distracted by the decorations arounds us.

I can't blame her. White blossoms hung in garland from everything in the room that was not alive, dripping with long lines of whites gossamer ribbons.

I could pin point the moment my dear Isabella finally focused on her mate. Her feet started moving at a faster rate and her heart beat spiked. But as soon as i found Alice stare I made sure that Isabella was moving to the pace of the music the piano was playing.

The closer we got to Edward the more the scent of strawberries filled my senses. When we finally made it to him the smell was stronger than ever and all I wanted was to find the owner of such delicious smell.

I finally focus back on Edward and saw his hand extended towards me. I took Isabella hand in mine and gave her a smile and a kiss on her cheek before putting her delicate hand in Edwards. I felt like I was putting my whole world in the hands of one person. It took everything in me to turn my back on Isabella and join the Damon along with the cullen family.

I felt damon wrap an arm around my waist and whisper in my ear " Always a Mikaelson no matter what." I closed my eyes for a moment and tried to breath in his scent but all i could smell was strawberries.
