Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, but let's just sit here for a few minutes and imagine what it would be like if I did….gaytastic right?!
A/N: Some of the ideas for this chapter came from my beta. I knew she was a true blue fan of this story, but damn did her colors show while I was thinking about this chapter. She was on top of things. Literally every time I was unsure of where and how far to take this chapter she was there with ideas, and I appreciate her for it.
Bella's P.O.V.
What a beautiful wedding….keeps echoing in my head as I slowly turn to see Renee standing in the middle of the aisle with her arms crossed. Oh. Hell. No.
"You know there was a reason you weren't invited to the wedding Renee." I growl as I feel Tanya wrap her arms around my waist.
"I don't like the way our last talk ended Bella. You never gave me the chance to explain." Renee says as we both watch Carmen shoot out of her seat.
"How the hell do you explain being one of the worst mothers in history exactly? Is your explanation going to magically fix Bella's abandonment issues? How about her trust issues?" Carmen growls as Eleazar quickly rushes to her side to calm her down.
"I was talking to my daughter not you." Renee grows as I see her muscles beginning to tense.
"Considering she's been more a mother to me in 6 months then you've been in 18 years I feel like she has the right to comment." I hiss as Tanya pulls me closer to her trying to keep me calm.
"Bella, please don't say things like that. You have to know I did try to be a good mom." Renee pleads as she takes a few steps closer. On instinct Tanya moves us a few steps back.
"You have a real funny way of showing that you tried especially when you openly admitted to never wanting Bella." Tanya growls dangerously as she tries to move me to stand behind her. Protective Tanya is pretty sexy.
"You actually had the nerve to say that in front of her?!" Esme yells as she too stands up. I don't really think she has much room to talk here since she abandoned me too.
"Why are you standing up like you're so much better than her?!" Carmen hisses as she points to Renee. "You left her too so really it's the pot calling the kettle black don't you think?" Carmen says with a smug smile.
"What gives you the right to judge either of us? How about you try being forced into giving birth!" Renee yells clearly not realizing the hole she's digging herself.
"Why would you have to be forced?! Having a baby is a gift that you were clearly too stupid to appreciate!" Carmen yells back as she tries to advance in Renee, but Eleazar holds her back.
"I wasn't ready to be a mother when I got pregnant with Bella! I know I made some mistakes, but I've tried to apologize!" I can feel a headache starting to form now.
"I wasn't aware that the power of apology was that strong." Kate chuckles darkly from her stop near me.
"I didn't come here for all of your unsure comments. I came here to talk to Bella. Now if you just let me explain then maybe we can have a better relationship." What is there to explain here? I mean really
"What could you possibly say that would make this better? You didn't want me which is okay because you made me feel like you didn't every single day. I've honestly moved past it thanks to Tanya and Carmen. What I really don't understand is why did you take me away from Charlie? The only parent who actually did want me." I feel my heart clench painfully every time I think about it. Why would she do this to me yet say she loves me?
"I was angry and I wasn't thinking straight! I'm so sorry Bella. Can we please just go somewhere and talk about this?" Renee pleads as the moves closer to me again.
"What I don't understand is why today of all days would you decide that you finally want to talk to our daughter?" Charlie asks as he stands up to block her path.
"My own daughter didn't even bother to invite me to her wedding! I tried to listen to you and wait for her to calm down, but I thought she would have called by now and clearly she never did." Wait a minute how the hell did she even know about the wedding? I know for sure Charlie didn't call her.
"Who even told you about the wedding? It's not like there was much time to plan, and I know for sure that Charlie didn't call you." I watch as a guilty smile appears on her face.
"You didn't!" Charlie growls as this time he advances on her causing her to take a few steps back and hold up her hands in an innocent gesture.
"I'm sorry Charlie, but I couldn't help myself. It had felt like forever since I'd talked to Bella myself and I got tired of waiting." What the hell is going on here? What did Renee do now?
"What the hell did she do?" Carmen growls out before I have the chance too. I look over and see that Eleazar has a tight grip on her as well.
"Bella you're mother has the ability to communicate using her mind. She can read thoughts and in turn project her thoughts back. She must have read mine and found out about the wedding." Charlie says as he glares Renee down.
"So what you're saying here is we just got rid of the annoying ass mind reader just to have another one pop up. And on top of that she can clearly do it from another state!" Emmett chimes in not helping the situation at all.
"If it's any consolation I can't read your mind Bella." Renee says with a weak smile as if this is a joke.
"Oh yes that makes me feel so much better actually. oh what would I do if you could read my mind! Maybe you could have used that talent to be an actual parent! That would have been awesome!" I growl feeling my eyes change.
"Now Bella I understand that you're not exactly happy with me right now, but if you would just calm down…." Is she serious right now?
"Oh I'm sorry you want me to calm down after you have the audacity to crash my wedding, and then make a day that's supposed to be about me and Tanya about you! Do you realize how stupid you sound right now?!" The only thing keeping me from attacking Renee is Tanya.
"I get that you're upset Bella, but you have no right to talk to me like this. I'm still your…." Oh hell no I'm not about to even let her finish that sentence.
"No! You don't get to refer to yourself as my mother! That is a title that is earned not something you have a right too. You weren't there for me when I thought my world was falling apparent. You never sat with me and helped me with my homework. You never made sure I was fed every single day. You never took the time to sit down and actually talk to me like I mattered to you! You know who does all of that and more? Carmen! The woman I know has my back no matter what I do in life! She's my mother!" I yell as I feel angry tears start to fall down my face.
"I realize I wasn't the best mother, but I wasn't that bad Bella. We still had some good times." Renee says as she hears a round of collective growls.
"You weren't that good either. When Bella was in the hospital after she "fell down the stairs" you only visited her once. She was in there for almost two weeks and you could only bother to visit your only child once! She almost died!" Esme shouts as she decides to get more involved.
"It hurt to see her like that. I realize that it was a mistake not coming to see her, but she had all of you so she didn't really need me." This is why she's stupid.
"You do realize that when you say shit like that you're only proving Bella's point even further. Also I hope you realize that Bella is one of the most kind and loving women I've ever had the pleasure of meeting and it's pathetic that you really didn't have much part in that." Rosalie says as she stands up to move closer to me and Emmett.
"If I were you I would watch what you say to me bitch." Renee growls as I see her eyes change as well.
"Rosalie can say whatever the hell she wants it's not like anything she just said wasn't true." I hiss.
"You can stand here and try and play the victim all you like Renee, but at the end of the day you chose everything else over your child. Believe me when I say I won't make the same mistake." Carmen says looking the most vampiric I've ever seen her.
"You are a truly selfish person Renee. It breaks my heart that you took Bella away from me, but at the same time I'm glad you did. You taught Bella how to take care of herself, but that's really all you did as a mother. I'm happy Carmen is here to take care of the rest." Charlie says as he clenches his fist in anger.
An eerie silence settles over all of us as we all glare at Renee. For a second I thought she was finally going to admit defeat and leave, but in the blind of an eye Renee is standing in front of Charlie with her hands wrapped around his neck.
"How dare you say that to me! You know full well what I am capable of Charlie! Why do you continue to test my patients?" She growls as her grip around his neck tightens.
Before I have time to react Carmen and Esme are quickly pulling pulling Renee off of him. "If this is your way of proving your a good mother it's really twisted!" Esme hisses as she and Carmen block Charlie off from Renee.
"What do you really expect to accomplish by murdering the father of your child?" Carmen says as Matthew and Eleazar move to join them in protecting Charlie.
"I would expect my child to listen and have some damn respect!" Renee growls as I notice her temper getting out of hand.
"Why would I have any respect for a woman who chose traveling with her new husband instead of staying at home with her daughter. Oh that's right because never, not once, in your life have you put me before your own wants and needs. You're the most selfish person I've ever met and you have the nerve to come here, ruin my wedding day, but you think you deserve respect. What the hell did you do to earn it? You know what? Don't bother answering that because I don't want to hear it." I say feeling somewhat free. I've always wanted to get this off my chest, not that today was the ideal time for it.
"Renee I think it would be best if you left now. You have already ruined today for Bella and Tanya please don't make it worse by saying something you'll regret." Carmen says in a calmer tone as she steps closer to Renee.
We all realize how terrible mistake that was as Renee has Carmen suspended in midair by her throat. I hear a sickening sound of metal shredding as her arms are torn from her body.
"I told you to stay out of this. All of you, but you didn't listen. You brought this on yourself." Renee says as I watch Carmen arms begin to spark like a fire is trying to start.
I watch in horror as Tanya moves from behind me as quickly moves to stand in front of Renee. "Renee would you please stop this. The only thing you've accomplished today is upsetting Bella. Don't make it worse."
I feel my heart clench as Tanya falls to her knees screaming in agony. A new feeling washes over me as I see my mate suffering. My out of body experience reaches a whole new level as I realize I must eliminate the threat to my love.
Tanya's P.O.V.
I feel a white hot pain shoot through my entire body mainly focused on my unbeating heart. This pain feels significantly worse than when I was changed all those years ago. I was unsure if I could serve that pain, but I definitely know I won't survive this one.
My only regret is that I never fully got to enjoy my time as Isabella Marie Swan's wife. I thought that was going to be my last thought before death claimed me, but suddenly the pain stops.
It takes me a few moments to realize what's going on around me, but as I look up I see an angel in a beautiful white gown with a pair of wings sticking out of her back. Beautiful black feathers white tips that cascade all the way down to the ground that leave me mesmerized.
I stay on the ground as I watch the angel move away from me slowly. She moves with the grace of a swan, but without even seeing her face I know she is lethal.
"Tanya, are you okay my love?" I look all the way up to see the Angel looking at me over her shoulder. I gasp softly as I that the angel is Bella.
I notice that her eyes has changed to a stunning shade of blue, and her hair has grown longer. It's a beautiful mixture of black and white that again leaves me mesmerized. "Wow," I whisper in shock.
"I'm going to take that as a yes." I slowly try to stand up on shake legs, but my angel is quick to stop me. "Don't try standing up yet my love. You're still weak and will need to go hunting. For now just please stay still." Bella says softly as she looks at me with concern.
I nod silently as I settle back down. I take a quick look around and see Carmen nestled in Eleazar's arms. She looks very out of it, but arms have been reattached and looking just fine. I quickly survive everybody else and they all seem to be with their collective mates, except for Charlie who's just standing off to the side glaring in what I assume to be Renee's direction.
I look back at Bella to see electricity crackling all around her. "Renee, you have taken this way too far! You could have killed Tanya!" Charlie shouts.
"Oh Charlie please stop. It is already too late. Renee will never fully understand until it's forced into her thick skull." Bella says eerily calm. I watch as Bella lifts her hand up to the sky. Ominous clouds begin to form as we all hear thunder crack in the background. Suddenly lightning strikes Bella's raised hand as we all continue to stare in disbelief.
"Renee, I hope you know that I'm sorry it had to come to this." Bella says as she fired what look to be a bolt of lightning directly at Renee.
We all gasp as it connect with Renee. I watch as Renee falls to her knees clutching her bleeding shoulder. "Oh my god," I whisper not fully understanding what I just saw.
"Bella, please don't kill me. I'm so sorry okay!" Renee cries as she begins to rock back and forth still clutching her shoulder that looks to have a big hole through it.
"Oh my god stop crying. You're biologically still my mother and I for some reason still love you so I'm not going to kill you. Besides that bolt barely even touched you compared to what I want to do to you. I could have easily aimed lower for what you have done to Tanya and Carmen." Bella growls with a tone that demands respect.
"What are you going to do to me?" Renee asks as with fear. She finally understands that Bella isn't one to be taken lightly.
"It's more of what you're going to do for me. I'm going to let you live on two conditions. First, there's a vampire army wandering around here. I'd much rather enjoy my time with my beautiful new wife than deal with them. Since you had the nerve to crash my wedding consider taking care of that your gift to me. Second, you will not call me, text me, email me, or contact me in anyway unless I contact you first. After today you and I will NEVER have a relationship. Do I make myself clear?" Bella says as we hear thunder starting to clap again.
"Crystal," Renee says as she stands up slowly.
"I will have Charlie call you in two hours. I expect the army to be taken care of by then. I would hate to have to have another conversation with you. I won't be as kind." Bella says sparing Renee one last glance before turning around to face me. She slowly bends down to pick me up bridal style.
"Damn, Badass Bella took it to a whole fucking new level." Kate mumbles as Bella and I move deep into the forest and what I would classify as vampire speed.
I sigh softly as I feel a wave of exhaustion hit me like never before. I rest my head against Bella's shoulder as I enjoy the feeling of being safe in her arms. This is definitely not how I imagined our wedding ending, but it would be us if it was normal now would it?
A/N 2: Now I'm sorry if y'all wanted to see Bella kill Renee, but I need her for a little while longer. Also if you wanted to see Bella go at it with a bunch of newborns I couldn't find the words to write it correctly. I'm sorry y'all but I hope you all enjoyed Badass Bella making her last appearance in this story.
