Ok thank you for the reviews on chapter 1.
The Cullen's don't know yet that Bella has children, or indeed that she is alive, or that the kids are connected to her much.
Oh and the reason Bella is back in this chapter when Cat said it was the weekend is because people believe Bella to be best peadiotrition in the world and so she goes everywhere but she comes back sooner than most humans it's keeping up appearences.
Hope you like this hunny bunny's.
Esme's POV
I had been distracted all the way home. That little girl haunted me somehow. She looked similar somehow, as if I had met her before. No...that was impossible. I kept myself away from children, I got upset easily.
"I liked her. I wonder who her Uncle Laurent is?" Alice asked me as if she wanted me to break down. We were both thinking the same thing, and we shuddered at the same.
This was when my darling husband decided to phone me up and make my day a shade happier than the obis i thought it had become.
"We need you home, a vampire was on our lands, she was attacking, Jasper and Emmet have her tied up and bagged. Get home before you get hurt." Carlisle's voice pleaded at me, I flipped the phone shut knowing he would understand.
Alice whizzed us home anxious to check that her Jasper wasn't hurt. The only thing that tied her to the earth now. I smiled as i got out of the car and Edward was beside me.
"We wanted everyone to be there for the questioning." He told me placing a hand on my arm and pulled me along with Alice up the stairs and into the living room.
Where I saw a lithe youngish vampire being pulled to almost apart by my other two sons and I hissed lowly. The vampire skitted. The boys had pulled a sack over her face. Oh merciful heaven.
"Let me go! Emmet McCarthy Cullen! Jasper Whitlock Hale!" the vampire demanded, it was not a voice i recognised. But i knew everyone my sons knew. How could this be. And it dawned on me that it was the reason they had wanted us all here. To witness who this vampire was. She knew us.
Alice timidly walked forwards as Jasper and Emmett held the poor girl tighter and she pulled off the hood. A tumble of mahogany hair hid her features from view for a moment.
"You can't be here. You-you died!" Alice shouted at the girl the same time Jasper and Emmett let her go, and she stood up in one swift movement. And she turned to see me.
The girl that faced me was very similar to the girl in the video I played over and over. Her eyes dead, no love or light in them, just golden...the only change, I hiccupped slightly as everyone else almost broke down.
The same uneven jaw line that seemed so flawless, those eyes, rimmed with thick black lashes, her small pouting mouth, the dark mahogany hair that fell in waves around her. All of it pointed to being our Isabella.
Except...her eyes, those golden perfect eyes that glittered menacingly at me, though there was no hint of that on her face at all, she looked the same age as she had when we left. Who did this to her?
"Oh, you got my video then." Was her callus reply and i chocked slightly, her beautiful symphonic voice was gone, replaced with a stunning high pitched melody. I blinked unable to get the rest of the family to register this.
"Yes Bella! It broke us!" I shouted to her finally able to speak and an electric shock ran through her and she laughed once and her gaze flickered to Edward, who cowered behind me, seemingly distressed by seeing her again.
"It's Iz now Esme." Bella replied cooly, and i shook my head. She remembered, recognised us, how could she hat us this much, what had we done? We were trying to protect her, not hurt her.
"Why? Why do you hate us?" Alice asked, and Bella –I refused to call her Iz- moved from her spot walking round as if trying to distract us. A soft smile on her face. As if thinking of every reason, only choosing the ones that were really important then she sighed.
"Victoria came after me." It was the blatant truth and she didn't sugar coat it "Laurent found me and saved me." She told us and the memory of the little girl in the mall hit me hard, the same Laurent.
"Why? Why did he save you?" Edward asked, and I gasped not able to define whether he was upset at Bella, or annoyed. I patted his shoulder lightly and he moved away as Bella moved back and she smiled faintly.
"Four months after you left...six months pregnant." Bella said slowly and i looked at Edward and he growled. He had known. But, who was the father? Had my Bella cheated on my Edward? My human daughter? No she wouldn't, not to Edward.
"Wait. Bella. Who changed you?" Alice asked refusing to believe anything wrong of her best friend and Bella seemed to beam at her then it dropped and she smiled faintly i could see Jasper twitching beside her as if scared. We all were at this point. Scared of the very girl that we loved.
"Tanya, I think. I'm not sure. They all bit me." Her voice sounded regretful and I grabbed her arm, even as she tensed up i pulled her to me and hugged her tight kissing her hair, as expected she broke into silent sobs. Her arms working their way around me and i held her close to gasps from everyone else.
Edward's POV
It took us two hours to calm Bella down, mainly because we were all in shock. She was stunning, more than merely beautiful as she had been as a human, and she crying to the best of a vampire's ability against Esme who looked...over the moon.
I have her back, my daughters back, that was all i got from Esme's mind as she rocked Bella back and forth, everyone else just couldn't think. It was like our lives were crumbling again.
"Why did you attack?" Emmett whispered and I understood, Bella was his baby sister, in his eyes she would never do that, the Bella we all knew was too scared of us to do anything else, but this wasn't my Bella anymore, she was a vampire, and deadly.
"My...daughters were hunting...I was trying to stop you getting...near them." Bella seemed to be choosing her words very carefully and her gaze fell on me, Alice fell to the floor as if unable to take everything and Bella looked worriedly at her.
"But they would be, vampires too. Adopted." Rose was the one to break the silence and I saw Bella gaze at me as if broken and hurt. She ripped herself from Esme and stood up an incredulous look on her face.
"You didn't tell them did you?" she asked me faintly. Cocking her head to the side, after a moments silence she laughed and then turned to them.
"I was pregnant before you left. And i never cheated on Edward." She told them and I growled at her, I had left to make her have an abortion. I did not mean for her to keep the kid. I grabbed her by the throat and pushed her against the wall. How dare she come back now?
"Edward let her go! You knew." Alice shouted at me and Emmett pulled me away, Bella blinked a few times confused as Alice jumped up at her trying to make everything alright. None of this made sense. Couldn't they all see why?
"It was going to kill her." I growled and Bella slumped onto a chair under Esme's watchful gaze, Bella seemed to be yo-yoing between emotions and I stopped watching her. No vampire was this emotionally unbalanced, and I saw that Jasper could sense it.
She ran a hand through her silken hair, and for a moment she became the girl i fell in love with and i stumbled slightly until we all saw the glint on her ring finger and my world crumbled to dust.
Married. My beautiful Bella was married.
Alice's POV
I snatched Bella's hand and grabbed it hard knowing i couldn't hurt her. The spiralling gold rings encrusted with beautiful diamonds burned into my memory, and i yelped with glee all thought of why Edward kept this from us, her pregnancy, gone.
"Who the hell did you marry! Please tell my it's not Laurent." I gasped twisting her hand in mine and she ruptured into laughter as if the thought of him and her together was ridiculous.
"No he's Rini's mate, also just no." She managed to get out still bursting into laughter and i stared at her. Rini? Oh Irina, it was her cute nickname. Only Tanya was allowed t call her that. I smiled at her and waited for her laughter to subside.
"Who married my baby sister! I want to know!" Emmett growled playfully and he hugged Bella spinning her round, this time she just giggled ant then jumped to her feet when he let her go, I smiled this was Bella 2.0 the better Bella.
"You don't really want to Em." Bella told him softly and I held her hand. Who could she have married, "It's more of a marriage of convenience anyway." She added as if to lessen it again for us, i pulled her down to a sitting position on the floor. Everyone was watching us.
"You hate marriage, the concept of it. Why?" I demanded grabbing both of her arms trying to get her to tell me, she opened her mouth about to tell me when the window crashed inwards.
Ooh cliffy, but the next chapter introduces the new life of Bella, I hope you enjoy :)
