A/N: Sorry about the delay hope you enjoy and I promise I will see you all next week with a new update.

We quietly walk through the warehouse hand in hand till we get nearer everyone.

I look towards my brothers who have their backs turned to us looking at Charlie. I can clearly see Charlie in the light. He's now dressed again but considerably pale and looking over tired and drained. He has that ghostly dead look. I feel Bella squeeze my hand and look down at our hands before turning to her face. I let a slow breath out before I let go of her hand. I smile slightly and signal to the side; silently telling her I'll be on the other side of the shadow, waiting no matter what happens.

I watch as she closes her eyes and takes a deep breath; squares her shoulders and lets the breath out before opening her eyes and stares at the man that caused her so many years of pain. I watch as she takes the last few steps into the light and stands tall in front of her father.

I join the men in our family as they now stand just in the shadows and closer to Bella.

"You know Charlie I've always wondered what it was that I did to make you treat me the way you did. I figured it out though." She hisses as she punches him in the face before she starts screaming at him.

"You're just a lonely man that got jealous because the people in this room took me into their family. They made me an equal."

I leaned forward and press a hand to Bella's back to try and remind her to keep calm.

She takes a deep breath then slowly lets it out.

"Edward and I are married. I am carrying his child and I will carry as many as we want me to carry. Nothing will ever separate us, not even you." She jabs him with a finger as she growls.

"You always bought drugs over food. The only times I got a decent meal was when Esme cooked for me."

I look on in shock; we always thought she at least got fed three meals a day, crappy meals but meals none the less.

"When you did feed me it was rushed and I would take it because I never knew when would be the next time I got to eat.

After eating whatever it was you gave me I would wake up the next day sore and often bruised. I never remembered anything." I hear Dad's growl and a bit of shuffling from the direction of Dad.

Charlie use to drug her but why? "I woke up one time to find myself tied to a table spread out in a room full of men. I pretended to sleep because I didn't know if you would beat me and lock me in the attic if I was awake.

These guys came out and poked and prodded me then I got covered in something I now realise was semen."

This time I have to hold myself back. I look over to Dad and see that Eleazar and Emmett are holding him back as he tries to get to Charlie. I look at Emmett and Eleazar and we all realise what we know is only the tip of the iceberg.

"All you cared about was selling me to the highest bidder and getting whatever you wanted. You saw me as a means to the end not as your daughter, as your own flesh and blood. "

She screeches at the end and gets in his face.

"You did what you wanted. You would leave me in that house alone for days sometimes with no electricity or food, fearing when you were going to come home and beat me up or choke me till I blacked out."

I watch as Bella stands up and squares her shoulders before she looks down at him.

"I have seen what it's like without the Cullen's in my life and I. WILL. NOT. BE. YOU. I will never give them up and if you want one of us you get all of us." I've had enough now and step forward putting a hand over her bump. She leans back into me and then acts as if Charlie isn't there.

"I'm sorry." She whispers looking at me.

"Please keep calm love. You know what Doc said you need to stay stress free and look after our bump."

She looks up at me and kisses my cheek.

"I will." She whispers and turns to face Charlie.

"Goodbye Charlie I expect to never see you again. You will never interfere with my family again."

She growls the last bit sealing his fate. She then turns around and smiling sinfully she grabs a hold of me tightly as she kisses me deeply. My hands find their own way to her hair and bury themselves there.

"Love you." she says before turning towards Tegan. "I expect you to come over for breakfast or brunch with Mary, Teegs."

"Wouldn't dream of missing it." Tegan replies with a calm smile that I can see is a mask to her true emotions.

Bella smiles before walking up to Charlie and punching him in the face and stomping on his dick. "You're not worth me dirtying my hands over."

Bella turns around kisses me again before walking past me and out the door followed by the rest of the women in the family.

"Okay Boys now the fun really begins." Tegan finishes with an evil cackle at the end of her words that bounces off the walls of the warehouse.

I grin at her then look at Charlie.

"This is going to rock!" Emmett crows as he walks forward. Leaving Dad standing still he looks like he really wants to murder Charlie now but is reasonably calm.

"Tegan, may I please have first crack?" Emmett asks sweetly as he eyes Charlie up.

"Afraid not Emmett. It's me and Mary first. Boys tie him down onto the table on his stomach naked."

As the boys start stripping him Tegan looks at Mary. "Kitten, start soldering your needles together."

"Yes Mistress." Mary says and starts setting up shop on the nearby table I can't wait to see what she plans to do with as well as to his body torturing him without killing him first making the torture slow and more painful.

Once he is tied down securely the boys step back from him and stand to the left of the room.

Tegan walks to the table with a crop in her hand and slams it down on Charlie's leg as he whimpers Tegan keeps dragging the crop before lifting it into the air and slamming it down against some part of Charlie's body.

After circling his body twice Tegan picks up a black hood and puts it over his face.

"This is a blackout hood slave. This mask will deny you of all sight, taste, and hearing. You will be a slave to your sense of your sense of feel so just take a deep breath and enjoy. It will all be over soon."

Charlie starts and starts trying to thrash against the hood but is defeated by Tegan zipping up the hood.

Once the hood is on Tegan picks up a pen and pulls out a piece of paper before she starts marking Charlie's spine with the pen.

I walk forward to get a closer look at what she is drawing.

When I get close enough I notice she has written a sentence in one line from the base of his spine to the top.

"A daughter is to love, cherish and adore because she owns your heart from her first breath to your last." I read out loud and smile.

I notice on the corner she has drawn an intricate flower that covers his shoulder blade.

I raise an eyebrow till I look over at the piece of paper and notice it is a tattoo pain chart showing the most painful places to tattoo.

I snicker at Tegan's genius idea as she has hit all the painful places on his body.

"It's true." Eleazar says and I look up at him where he is standing in the corner with his arms crossed over his chest.

"Take warning Edward, from the moment your daughter is born she will wrap you around her finger so tightly you'll never say no and you will do anything for her."

I notice Dad and the other older men nodding their heads in agreement.

A daughter.

I hadn't even thought about it. Bella could be carrying at least one daughter.

A little girl...my own little princess.

My mind floods with the images of a little girl that looks just like Bella except for her eyes that look like mine. I can see her running through a flower meadow.

Giggling so infectiously that it fills the meadow and makes me smile.

I spot Bella sitting on a picnic blanket in a corner with a little boy on her lap.

She's running her hands through his hair as he leans his head against her shoulder.

I feel something tugging on my trousers and look down to see a little boy at my side. "Come on Daddy. I'm hungwry."

I jump out of my thoughts as Dads hand comes down on my shoulder and I look across to see him smiling at me.

"Right Edward, you need to move so Mary can start."

I stand back and notice that two black 3inch leather straps have been added across Charlie's body.

"Kitten, we are in an open space now you can start when you're ready understand?" Mary smiles affectionately at Tegan.

"Yes Mistress." she says gently then picks up a tool and it starts humming but the minute it touches Charlie's spine he starts screaming and thrashing against the restraints.

I close my eyes and soak in the sound of Charlie's screams as I remember the times he had screamed at Bella.

The time he screamed at her about coming home late when we had taken her to a party.

He knew we had taken her but he got high and she hadn't cooked his dinner.

I heard the screaming through the front door and had to fight to not march back into the house and put a bullet between his eyes.

The time she called in hysterics after she had 'fallen down the stairs'.

The truth was Charlie had beaten her so badly that she had hidden in the woods till he went to work and then realised she needed help.

Mum took us straight over and the scared face that peered around the door said it all.

We took her to the hospital and found out she had a broken arm, two broken ribs and a concussion.

After she was patched up we took her back to our house and Mum tucked her into bed and fed her soup and bread.

Dad and I went and dealt with Charlie as she slept in what was unofficially called Bella's bedroom at the time.

The beating and threat we left him with we thought did the trick.

It wasn't till later we found out all it did was hide his activities.

The beatings had carried on but he never left marks she couldn't hide.

"What a wuss, he's fainted and I only got as far as 'love.'" Mary grumbles with a pout.

"Someone wake him up." Tegan shouts her order loud and clear.

"Mistress, can I take a break please?" Mary asks looking at Tegan while rubbing her side.

"Is everything okay?" Tegan asks looking concerned.

"Someone is demanding some attention." Tegan smiles until Mary suddenly gasps and leans over the table and still unconscious Charlie.

"Mary?" Tegan barks in panic as she runs forward and puts her hands over each side of Mary's face lifting her face up.

"I'm fine. She kicked my kidney, the little brat." Mary growls. They both laugh gently till Tegan steps back slightly.

"Go rest baby. Come back when you're ready okay?" Tegan says as she presses a hand to Mary's abdomen and strokes it gently before they start giggling again.

It's then I notice the rather large bump.

"I'm going to go to the bathroom then I'll continue with his tattoo. I owe that bastard some more ink and metal." Mary growls before she waddles across the room with a hand on her back.

"Tegan," I turn to Emmett and look at him. "How far along is Mary?"

"Seven months." She answers with a grin.

"You should've said something, we could have waited." Dad uses his fatherly tone at Tegan, trying to make his point that Mary should not have flown.

"I was going to leave her at home but Mary was insistent on coming."

She shook her head and looked back at me.

"Bella and the other girls don't know. The pregnancy has been tough on her. We've told no one because there's still a chance I could lose one of them."

I watch as Tegan goes solemn and looks at the door to the room Mary's occupying.

I'm flooded with the memories of that night four years ago.

The one where we nearly lost Mary. I watch as Dad moves forward and hugs Tegan then whispers reassurances in her ear.

Mary had been exploring her sexuality and gone out for the night to meet her new Dom.

I had been with Bella helping her with some studying when we got the call.

Tegan ran into the room in hysterics and after Bella finally managed to calm her down we found out Mary had been rushed to the hospital.

Since all of the girls were at the house we all piled into my car and I drove us to the hospital.

We ran into the building to only be stopped at reception until Tegan announced herself as Mary's sister.

The receptionist then handed Tegan a pile of paperwork to sign.

Once that was done we were then shown to a side room where we waited till the doctor arrived and he gave us all the details of the damage.

The Dom Mary had found was known to be abusive, but Mary didn't realise he was abusive till it was too late.

After the beating the Dom and some of his friends raped her then just left her at the club to die.

A floor manager went into the playroom to examine the room for the next client and what she found was Mary's beaten up body hanging from a set of wall restraints in the middle of the room six inches off the ground.

The damage he had done to her body mostly faded but there was some that was permanent.

He had caused a brain bleed, shattered her leg, dislocated both her arms, and caused a lot of internal bleeding.

After we were debriefed and warned about the state Mary was in we were then taken to her room.

The warning didn't prepare us for what we saw.

When we got there my breath was taken away and Bella and Tegan were crying in hysterics at the sight of our kind hearted and innocent Mary lying in the bed.

There wasn't a single piece of flesh unbruised and Mary had tubes everywhere including one to help her breathe.

The thought that scared me the most was what the doctor said about how close we had been to losing her.

If the floor manager had been three minutes later our Mary would have died from the internal bleeding.

Just as the Doctor left the room I followed and pulled him aside to hand him my credit card and tell him I wanted her to be given the best and no cost was too much.

She was Bella's friend and meant the world to Bella.

Since Bella had moved in with us she had made no friends till she moved into her student housing at college.

The girls all made life changing decisions that night.

All of them went house hunting and found a place a wheel chair bound Mary could live in at a very affordable rent. Which was actually a house I bought and rented to them as they wanted no help. The girls moved everything in the house and set it up so that Mary could recover with all of the girls in the house to support her.

The biggest change came from Tegan who decided to finally come out and tell Mary that she was in love with her.

She also decided that while Mary was recovering she would learn about being a Domme in secret.

She went to a club we owned and was trained as a Domme with one of our resident Dom's.

When I asked why she wanted to learn she simply replied, "Mary is my life; she needs this so I will try. I've lost one family I won't lose this one too." And try she did.

She actually found that she loved it as much as Mary did.

Tegan lost her family due to a car accident when she was a child and Mary's parents disowned her after they found out about her previous Dom and that she was bi-sexual.

It left both girls alone in a world where family is everything.

I still smile when I think about their student sorority house.

Their house mother was a snobby bitch.

Bella's floor was small as they had the attic and it meant Alice and Bella shared a room while Tegan, Mary and Rosalie took the other rooms.

If you went to visit and they weren't in their room they were in one of the other rooms together – studying, watching a movie or just chilling.

They seemed to be together any free moment they had.

Bella always enjoyed her time with them so we encouraged it.

It was nice to see her build her confidence up.

Mary spent three months in intensive care then another two months in a private room before going to the new group home, that the girls had lovingly put together to make it as homey but accessible as possible for her.

She had to spend a year in physio and physiological therapy that Tegan took her to and stayed in the waiting room or helped with her physio every time she went.

After the first night Mary was home she screamed in her sleep and woke everyone up: it was like she had been reliving the attack.

After that night Tegan became a woman on a mission and started hunting down the bastards that had hurt her Mary.

A year to the day of Mary's attack Tegan came to me.

She had completed her training with James and now she wanted to track down the other Dom and his friends and teach them all a lesson.

James had already come to me telling me what he thought Tegan was planning so we were prepared for this and had tracked and monitored all of the men involved in that attack.

We gathered them at one of our warehouses and that was the day I saw Tegan's true skill and anger, as she tortured and brutalized the men that had attacked her Mary.

Tegan's method of torture was sadistic to put it nicely.

She would torture people without them bleeding.

She could make any grown man cry and scream without breaking a sweat.

After she left we finished it by putting a bullet in each of their heads.

"We thought she was going to miscarry a few times." Tegan says as she holds back the tears.

Dad walks forward and hugs Tegan, while whispering in her ear what I can only assume are reassurances and fatherly love.

My parents have taken in quite a few people over the years turning our family into a big close knit community and Tegan and Mary are not strangers to their love.

Along the way she came to me and somehow she knew what we did for a living.

Now whenever we have to deal with women or protecting ours under the radar we call Tegan.

It killed Mary when her family walked away from her.

My parents stepped in and under our wing we helped get Mary on her feet and got her set up with her own tattoo and piercing parlour.

She has built herself a reputation for being the best tattoo artist in the county.

All our men go to her for any ink they want done or piercings.

We turn as the door opens and Mary waddles in smiling before grimacing again.

"Tegan," Mary puffs out before closing her eyes.

Tegan moves forward looking worried. "Will you please for the love of God tell your child to stop kicking my kidney? Jesus, this child has some strength in her."

"You only call her my child when she does something you don't like." Tegan smirks as she starts rubbing Mary's stomach.

I watch as Tegan and Mary spend a few intense and passionate minutes kissing before Tegan breaks away and leans down to kiss her stomach.

I clearly hear her whisper to Mary's bump. "Please settle down and behave for a little longer then we'll go home and you can have some mummy time I promise."

She then kisses her stomach again before standing up.

"Are you sure?" She says firmly, clearly assessing Marys face.

"I owe Bella so much."

"Mary," Dad calls and Mary looks at him. "look me in the eyes and tell me you're fine to continue."

Mary walks forward and hugs Dad before looking him in the eyes.

"Carlisle, I promise we are fine. A certain someone just likes to take after her mummy and keeps kicking my kidney."

Dad smiles before hugging her and Mary takes up her seat again.

She grins as she picks up her gun again and then pats a conscious Charlie on the shoulder.

"Don't worry Charlie. There's worse to come." She then throws her head back and cackles.

When she is calm again she looks deep in thought until she turns to Tegan.

"Mistress."

"Yes Kitten."

"I think he's too comfortable." She says winking at Tegan.

"You know what kitten I think you're right." She walks around Charlie tapping her lip. "And I know just the thing to use."

Tegan walks over to the table Mary set up filled with knick knacks and picks up a weird metal mushroom shaped thing.

"Gentlemen, can I have your attention please." We all turn to Tegan and smile as she holds the mushroom in her hands.

"This is called a butt plug. They come in different shapes and sizes." She moves to Charlie's ass and then smiles before looking at us.

"You will not learn anything standing over there." Tegan barks as she gives us the stink eye.

All of us quickly shuffle forward and get a closer look of Charlie's fat hairy ass.

"Normally you apply lots of lube and stretch the muscles to prepare them and make it hurt less but in this instance we want it to hurt so we are going to add this dry."

She shoves the plug in hard and Charlie screams and shakes after it is in and I grin.

"Now boys remember this is the wrong way to put a plug in." She then slaps Charlie's ass before looking at Mary.

"You may continue kitten."

"Yes Mistress." And the guns hum fills the air again until the gun touches Charlie's skin and he starts screaming in his mask.

I look at Dad and Emmett to see their masks are gone as they grin like there is no tomorrow.

Tegan walks to Charlie's head and undoes the hood taking it off slowly.

"Stop! Make her stop!" Charlie screams between tears.

Dad walks forward and chuckles as he gets to Charlie's eye level.

"Why should we? You never stopped when Bella begged you to. Did you ever take her to the hospital?"

I watch Dad pull Charlie's hair up as he carries on and I watch as Mary stops tattooing him.

"She was a little girl. Your daughter who you should protect no matter what with your life. What did she do to make you hate her so much?"

Dad states before smashing Charlie's head into the table.

"What did she do? You really want to know? She's a murderer; she killed my Renee, my wife." He sobs I step forward in anger.

"She didn't kill anyone. Renee died of Cancer." I shout loudly in his face.

He thinks we don't know but before we took Bella from him we had tried to find her mother so we could keep her with a parent.

What we found was a headstone in England with her name and a death certificate at a nearby hostel.

Renee had died from ovarian cancer three months after giving birth to Bella.

She found out at her three month scan that she had cancer and was given a choice either terminate the pregnancy and start chemotherapy straight away and get a long painful hospital filled two-three years or to carry on with the pregnancy and risk dying before Bella was born.

She chose to put her innocent unborn child first.

Renee survived the pregnancy but after she gave birth and Charlie went to work she kissed her newborn daughter for the last time and snuck out of the hospital.

Renee jumped on a plane to England with her small amount of inheritance from her grandmother's estate and checked into a hospice where she died three months later after authorising them to sedate her through her last days of life.

When we spoke to her nurse she told us everything.

Renee hadn't wanted Charlie to watch her suffer and she dreamed of her daughter graduating school and living her life the way she wanted to live it.

Little did she know that Bella's life was going to be as miserable as it was.

Charlie never handled Renee's disappearance and being left with a newborn daughter so he turned to drugs and resented being a single father.

"Renee dreamed of Bella's life and she dreamed of you." I said looking deep into his eyes. "She chose her daughter's life over her own."

"She should've chosen ME!" He screams before breaking down into tears.

"Mary, carry on." Dad barks dropping his head onto the table.

"Please no." Charlie cries and begs.

"Why should we? You never stopped when Bella begged you to stop. When she pleaded with you to help her." I spat on him before looking over at Dad.

"You left her on her own so you could get high." I step back and watch as Mary continues the tattoo and Charlie screams.

When Mary has finished she rubs lemon juice all over his back making him scream more.

"Boys, flip him over." Tegan barks as Mary stands up and stretches her back.

"Mary, go rest for twenty minutes." Dad says and Mary looks like she is about to argue until Tegan butts in.

"Kitten, do as you are asked." The tone Tegan uses is very firm and I get a hint it's because she wants to do something to Charlie.

"Yes Mistress." Mary says grumpily before walking into the office.

Once the door is shut and Tegan is sure Mary is going to behave she starts barking out orders.

"Someone get me an electric source." I look at her puzzled but decide not to bother asking.

She will tell us what we need to know when she is ready.

A car battery is brought forward and Tegan attaches two wires to the butt plug and another two to his newly pierced cock.

She takes a moment to admire the dolphin and Prince Albert piercings Mary had done earlier.

Tegan smiles. "She really does beautiful work doesn't she boys?"

She then pops the wire ends into a controller that is connected to the battery.

She chuckles before cranking the dial and we listen as he screams and convulses off the table.

The room fills with snickers as we enjoy the pain Charlie is made to suffer through.

She stops after a few seconds only to turn it up some more.

After fifteen minutes of her slowly turning the power up and Charlie screaming she turns the battery controller off and pulls off all the wires before Mary re-enters the room.

I hear the door open and look in the direction to see an extremely worried looking Mary staring at me.
