Gonna level with you, this chapter is short and quick. Simply because I didn't want to waste much time on Renesemee's birth. Why, because we all know about how that happened. This is not Bella's story, this is not Renesemee's shining moment. This story is about Venus, and I don't know about you..I want to get back to the kings and her XD. However that takes time, and I know that. So, anyway hope you understand, and enjoy.
Venus sat across from her sister, reeling from the shock of it all; eye going to her guard and back. A week had gone by since she had been told her sister was pregnant, but Bella looked closer to 6/7 months pregnant on this morning. She also looked like a walking skeleton, all except for the protruding tummy that was.
"Venus, I'm going to be okay." Bella reassured, but her sister looked less than convinced. Having protected her older sister, her entire life from a threat living within her walls. Now, she had to watch as a threat destroyed her from the inside.
Quiet as a mouse, her brown eyes locked with a matching set. "I am still worried, and you won't convince me otherwise. Helpless, as I cannot help you like before." Pausing for a moment, to gulp down saliva. Watching as her sister wince, as yet another bruise formed no doubt. "There is no pain greater than watching someone you love, and have protected your whole life. Suffer through pain, even if did pain will bring immense joy soon. I still want to help you, to save you from all agony, and I cannot."
Bella looked up, before opening her arms softly to pull her sister close. "Everything will be okay." She whispered, as soon as she could.
Carlisle walked into the room with Edward by his side, the two looking grim. They had done an X-ray this morning. "Your rib is cracked, but there are no splinters. You haven't punctured anything."
Edward jumped in quickly with a, "yet." He swallowed venom a heavy amount, Venus guessed. "It's breaking her bones now." He turned to his wife on the couch. "It's crushing you from the inside out. Carlisle, tell her what you told me. Tell her."
Venus turned rose quickly, wrapping her arms around Edward to try and calm him down. Her brother was quick to return the embrace, but he was still very on edge with a good reason. Turning to her father figure. "Dad, she has a right to the truth."
Bella nodded her head slowly. "Carlisle, tell me. It's all right."
Carlisle looked up for a moment in silence, turning to his youngest daughter then back to his in law. "The fetus isn't compatible with your body. It's too strong. It won't allow you to get the nutrition you need. It's starving you by the hour, and I can't stop it and I can't slow it down. At this rate, your heart will give out before you can deliver."
Watching closely, the older Swan was quick to defend. "Then I'll hold on as long as I can and-"
"Bella." Venus finally stated, gaining her sister's attention. "He is saying, that not everything can be cured by venom. It is a hope, but it is not a universal cure. If your heart stops beating, before the venom can reach it…"
"Then the venom will have no effect on you." Demetri spoke from his position.
The Doctor nodded his head calmly. "Your sister is right, it is not a universal cure. It is not the solution for everything." With that he left the room, and Venus was quick to follow.
"Dad." She whispered, moving to hold him close.
Carlisle turned his head, in acknowledgement; but he said nothing. "This is remarkable you know, it shouldn't be..and yet-"
"The baby, is a miracle. That none of us can deny, but he or she is still killing my sister. Draining her-"
"We have tried to contact Aro, to see if this has happened before. As of yet, he has not answered; but I know he is in Romania at the moment." Felix interrupted.
"Romania?" Venus asked alarmed. "He is alright?"
Felix nodded. "He is, just wants this over with..so he can hold you again."
"Something tells me we will see him for a whole different reason." Carlisle replied, gaining two different looks. "The child is developing quickly in the womb, no doubt he or she will grow just as quickly outside. Bella's baby may be perceived as being bitten rather than born."
Felix nodded. "If it comes to that, Demetri and I will stand as witnesses."
"As will I." Venus agreed.
A few days went by and Jacob had joined the group, though he was pissed at all times. First because Bella was pregnant, second because Edward was the father, and third there were human drinkers. He was very adamant about that one, glaring at Venus as she was the one who brought them. "I just don't understand why they need to be here."
"Jacob." Venus replied, watching as her sister was snuggled up to him. "Felix and Demetri are for my protection, I am Queen of a world you know absolutely nothing about. You have your legends I have the history texts."
His dark eyes shot open at that, before noting how Bella was miserably hungry. "You know the kid is half leach." The entire group which was the entire coven looked over at him. "What do you eat?" He said it as a joke, but it was brilliant.
"Of course." Carlisle exclaimed.
"That is a good idea." Edward said in surprise, as it was coming from Jacob.
Bella looked confused. "What is?"
Jacob held a look of disgust. "You can't be seri-
"You came up with it." Venus replied. "Sis what do vampires eat?" She asked, watching as her sister went paler if possible. "I know not a joy, but if you have any hope of surviving. Then you need to drink."
"I'm gonna be sick." The wolf exclaimed.
Emmett was quick. "I can get a bear."
"No, needs to be natural." Carlisle replied, as he was in his fridge using bagged human blood; in a styrofoam cup.
Venus watched as her sister took it slowly, turning to her guard who seemed very much amused by this entire thing. "Behave." Catching Jacobs attention, as he watched the guard pout.
"She has you under thumb." He commented gaining two snarls.
"Jacob! I can have you under my thumb in less then a second." Venus growled, the response was shocking. Well for everyone that was Jacob. Everyone else had figured out she was just as protective of her guard, as they were of her. God have mercy if they spoke poorly of Jane, she would not hold back. As Rosalie had found out, and she would not make the same mistake twice.
Felix and Demetri just smirked, eyes still narrowed at the dog. "Fleabag."
"This is not helping Bella." Edward finally spoke, as everyone watched as the girl sniffed slowly. Making a face, before taking a hesitant taste.
"It tastes, good." She muttered, before taking a bigger swig.
"Maybe now you will regain some strength." Demetri suggested.
"We can only hope." Venus agreed.
0.o.0
Renesmee was born later that night, a beautiful little baby girl. Completely innocent and a wonderful miracle indeed, however it was Bella that worried the vampires. Not so much because she was changing silently, more of Venus is human, her sister would be a newborn.
Felix and Demetri would stay by her side, eyes locked on the seemingly sleeping form. Even though it was more of dying, as her sister held her baby niece. Feeding the little one, a mixture of formula and blood; which was utterly disgusting to the two vampires.
Rosalie would come in, and gently take the baby. To which Venus was happy to hand over, the two women smiling happily at the great fortune that was bestowed on to the family. It was even better with Edward now knowing she was an innocent angel, not a cold blooded killer.
When suddenly, every vampire turned to Bella. Edward walked over to his wife, and that told Venus one thing. Her sister was waking up, and even from her spot on the couch she could see. Vibrant red eyes opening for the first time.
Next chapter will have Venus in a room with her Newborn sister, not alone of course; but it will be more of s flashback. As again want to get to what is really important, so next chapter will be about a year after Renesemee is born. Why a year, because Bella's eyes in Breaking Dawn suggest it took about a year for the Volturi to show up. I only say that because a newborns eyes are a vibrant red and by the end they are gold. Just something I put together.
