Rose/Bella POV:

With the two scum of the earth gone I could finally rest in peace on my couch. Edward sat next to me with a triumphant smirk on his face.

"What?" I asked half smiling.

"Did you see that guys face?" He laughed. "Priceless." Christian joined in on the laughter and soon the whole room was shaking.

"Be nice." I joked; everyone stopped and looked at me. I looked down, choking on silent laughter.

"Yeah right." Terrance spouted. I laughed at my daughter. She was so much like me and that could be a scary thing sometimes. Rachel stayed silent in my arms as she slept peacefully and soundly. I don't see how she did it, with Emmett's booming laughter. She looked just like her father. They had the same eyes and everything. Her hands remained tangled in my hair.

"Well guys, I better put them in bed." I told them standing up.

"But momma-" Terrance began to protest. I gave her a stern look and she went silent. I picked her up in my other arm and waltzed over to the stair case.

"Good night all." I called over my shoulder.

"Night Rose!" Christian shouted at the same time as Emmett who yelled:

"Night Bella!" It was weird hearing those two names cross over. For so long I'd worked to keep the two identities apart and now they were overlapping.

"Here, I'll help you put them down." Edward offered smiling before kissing my forehead. He followed me up the stairs and took the sleepy, eye rubbing Terrance from my other arm. He smoothed her hair and she immediately melted into him.

"Uncle Edward?" She questioned.

"Yes angel?" Edward replied without missing a beat.

"I'm tired." I stifled a giggle. He laughed aloud before kissing her forehead and smiling down at her.

"Then sleep my angel." He soothed. She yawned and buried her face in the crook of his neck She was fast asleep by the time we reached the top of the stair case. I couldn't express how thankful I was to have this family I did. I was especially grateful to all the guys for looking out for me. Three years ago, I was more than just broken. I was broken beyond repair and because of them; I was finally able to start trying to pick up the pieces again. I couldn't lie and say that I didn't love Dimitri, because I did with every fiber of my being but…after what happened I couldn't forgive him. It was more than just him leaving me, it was beyond that.

"Are you ok?" Edward asked, after we'd laid the girls down. I looked down at my feet and nodded.

"I'm fine." I was so used to pushing away my feelings to the side that it was my default reaction to everyone save for people like Christian. As odd as it sounds, I was closer to Christian than anyone else. Christian saved the remnants of what was left of me. I wasn't in love with him, I cared about him as a brother. He'd proven beyond a shadow of a doubt that he would do anything to help me.

"You're thinking about him aren't you?" Edward inquired quietly. I looked up at him teary eyed.

"Is it that obvious?" I felt so pathetic for still allowing him to get to me. I could put on a tough face all I wanted but at the end of the day my heart was still broken.

(Author's note: Sorry, this is totally random but I wanted to tell you before I forgot, the cabin never happened, all they did was talk. Alright? So Rose was still a virgin. That's important info for later… didn't want to leave it out. Sorry for the interruption back to the story.)

Edward's arms engulfed me as he hugged me fiercely.

"I don't know what to tell you honey, except that I love you. I will always be here for you." I nodded and leaned further into him. "You're tired, you've had a long sucky day. Get some sleep alright?" I nodded again as I yawned. He scooped me up in his arms before placing me in my own bed.

"Night Edward."

"Night beautiful." He smiled at me, before turning to leave.

"Hey…send Christian and Adrian in then come back please." Edward smiled at me again before kissing my forehead and then he disappeared. Moments later Christian and Adrian with Edward, appeared in my room smiling over me. I patted the space next to me.

"Come lay with me." I told the three of them. They all shot glances at each other.

"Eiww, not like that! You guys are dirty." I told them rolling my eyes playfully. The smiled at me and I knew they were joking as well.

"Umm, Little Dhampir how exactly do you plan on all of us fitting on here with you?" I paused debating on what I should say to them.

"Figure it out?" I tried. They laughed. Edward smiled crookedly.

"I don't sleep. You guys can take the bed I'll sleep in the chair. I don't think it's so much she wants us literal lying with her, but I think she just wants us here." I nodded. He was so intuitive.

"No, It's cool. I'll take the chair." Adrian said. I could tell he was just trying to be polite, he really didn't want the rocking chair. "I can still lay with her in her dreams." I rolled my eyes "Or rather in mine." He winked at me.

"Just do it fast please, I'm tired." I moaned. The three of them nodded. Christian laid on my right, and I was facing his chest, and Edward was on my left with his arm draped across my waist. Christian kept one arm around my waist as well, careful not to touch Edward's arm.

"Night guys." I yawned.

"Good night." Was the generous reply. This wasn't out of the ordinary for us they just looked at it as a way of caring for me. I saw it that way too. That's why I loved them.

When I awoke the next morning there was only one pair of arms around me. I smiled as I glanced at his jet black hair, similar to Terrance's. He was looking at me, warily. The smile dropped immediately from my face.

"What's wrong?" I questioned immediately.

"Nothing." He lied. I narrowed my eyes at him. I tried to sit up but he stopped me. "Promise not to freak out." I nodded. "Dimitri and Vasilissa are here." He cringed at the mention of their names, as did I. The family is trying to get them to leave but they won't. They've got guardians. The family is scared of revealing our secret." I groaned and then cursed.

"Why can't they just leave me alone?!" I shrieked in aggravation. "What have I done to deserve this?" I cried out.

"You promised you wouldn't freak…but there's more." Christian told me biting his lip.

"What is it?" I inquired. Christian opened his mouth to speak but was cut off by the slamming open of the bedroom door. Vasilissa stood there devastated, and Dimitri –her shadow-looked no different.

"y..you…look Rose…I know you hate me but how could you?" I sat up, prepared to lunge at her. I knew the situation looked bad, but how dare she suggest that I'd do something like that to her?

"How could I what?" I questioned, daring her to speak the words I knew she was thinking.

"You're sleeping with my boyfriend!"

"Ex-boyfriend." Christian added coldly. "We're not sleeping together." We glanced at each other, both remembering that time in which his current words were a lie. "She's my sister, closer than blood. Watch your mouth when you talk to her." He didn't need to scream, like I often did. The coldness in his voice was enough to bring tears to anyone's eyes.

"Chris…" She started.

"Christian." He corrected. Vasilissa covered her hand with her mouth as she backed away. She paused, before nearly tripping over my daughters.

"Daddy." Terrance exclaimed as she raced over threw herself on the bed. Her brown eyes boring into Christian's.

"Hey beautiful." He told her kissing her cheek.

"Good morning." She smiled. "Bueno..denze. Mommy." She told me smiling. Gosh, Emmett had been trying to teach her Spanish again I supposed.

"Momma!" Rachel exclaimed as she raced in. "Daddy. Terrance broke my Barbie doll." She cried as her ice blue eyes filled with tears. She had my hair and Christian's eyes. Where as Terrance had my eyes and Christian's hair.

"Mom…and dad?" Vasilissa echoed. "But you never slept together." She hissed back angrily. Dimitri, who had been silent and stoic this whole time finally spoke up. He held his guardian mask in place but his eyes portrayed his fury. I was vaguely aware that Adrian and the rest of the family had filed in already.

"So you're a blood whorre now?" Dimitri hissed. At the same exact time Emmett, Jasper, Edward, Adrian and Christian as well as Carlisle all snapped their heads to face Dimitri's. In creepy unison they all hissed,

"Don't call her that." I flinched. Esme, the nicest being on the face of the earth, growled the loudest after they'd finished.

"You don't get to come into my house and disrespect my children that way. Get out." Vasilissa steeled herself, trying to hide the fear I knew she was feeling.

"G-go screw yourself." Vasilissa hissed.

"Look, you sanctimonious angel from hell," I growled at her before anyone else could move. "You talk to her like that again and princess or not I'll kick your royal a-"

"Rose, why waste your breath on them?" Alice sneered.

"Its me who wonders why I should waste my breath on that blood whorre." Vasilissa countered.

"You don't have a clue what she's been through! You have know idea what the BOTH of us have been through. Don't come in here trying to judge her or any of us. You are the one who is in the wrong I hope you rot in hell you self absorbed, self righteous, selfish petty, back stabbing, slut.." Christian barked at her as he wrapped his arms around me. I struggled to cover the girls ears. Rachel began to sob.

"Sssh Rachie baby. Calm down." I soothed.

"Then why don't you explain it?" Dimitri countered. "Because I don't understand."

"You don't even have a right to know." Edward hissed, eyes as black as cobalt.

"We're not leaving until we find out." Vasilissa growled. As if on cue a little over thirty guardians piled into the room. I laughed at them.

"Do you really think they could hurt us?" Emmett sneered. "I could take them single handedly." I nodded in agreement. Dimitri snorted.

"Maybe.." Carlisle butted in. I could tell he didn't want to be civil with them but he was trying for his grand daughter's sakes. "We could talk civilly at another time."

"If we're talking we're talking now." Dimitri responded.

"Very well. Call off those…people and we can converse like people."

"They aren't people." Rosalie added coldly. Carlisle shot her a pointed look but other wise ignored her.

"Fall back." Vasilissa ordered the guards. They left the room, but I knew they were lined up along the wall outside of the door.

"Where do we start?" Carlisle began.

"How about the beginning?" Esme suggested to her husband. He nodded.

"Bella." She nodded to me. I sighed. Here we go….
