Twilight Laurent AU

(A/N: I own nothing and read last chapter)

"Are you here to hurt her even more?" Irina snarled as she and her sisters formed a wall between the nomad and the brown haired teen. Leah and Seth were standing just in front of Bella and behind the sisters as a second wall with Laurent while Carmen was holding Bella close protectively, ready to run with her at the first moment as Eleazer stood nearby.

"NO! I…I originally came here to apologize but… then…I heard the video playing and…I…I saw what he had done to her through the window downstairs…" Victoria said strongly then her voice got weaker, softer as she looked down.

"I knew James liked to torment his victims a bit but usually it was just a broken bone or two before he drained them! I-I never thought he would do something like that!" Victoria said hissing the last word before looking past the other vampires to Bella with soft, sad eyes. Victoria noticed Bella flinching ever so slightly at the now dead nomads name and her eyes softened further.

"Despite what that Coven of idiots thought, Jam-that bastard and I weren't mates. He was my best friend, my brother of sorts but the fact he was able to do that to a young girl… my bond with him is broken permanently. I'm happy he's dead really. If… if you'll let me I can help protect you, my gift is evasion so I'll be able to sense danger coming for you long before it is anywhere near you." Victoria said speaking directly to Bella who was curled up in Carmen's arms with her own arms wrapped around her midsection.

"I can understand if you don't want me anywhere near you though, so if you want I'll leave and you'll never have to see or hear from me again." Victoria said softly still as she stared straight into Bella's eyes, causing Bella to tilt her head slightly even though her face was carefully blank.

"You're eyes have gold in them… you've been drinking animal blood? But why? You seemed to hate the idea of it when the Cu…jackasses mentioned it." Bella said not bringing herself to say their name, something that everyone could understand except maybe Seth and Leah but no one was tactless enough to bring it up.

"To be honest animal blood isn't as filling as human blood but I was planning on offering you an apology and my protection before I knew about what Ja-he did…I thought that having my eyes change to gold would put you more at ease." Victoria explained gently, carefully avoiding the dead vampires name despite nearly slipping.

"Th-thank you but I won't mind if you drink from humans if that's what you'd prefer… just…keep it to bad humans if you can?" Bella asked making Victoria beam at her and nod while the others relaxed slightly at a motion from Irina for the Denali's and Bella's words for the Clearwaters.

"I can do that easily. I mostly drank from criminals anyways so it's nothing too different for me." Victoria said grinning at the brunette who gave a small shy smile in return, something all those in the room noticed.

"Yes! Bells is smiling again!" Seth said fistpumping and making Bella giggle a bit, which made everyone smile relieved.

"Thank goodness. I was beginning to think you'd be lost within your Snow spirit side, sweetheart. Closing off your heart like you were doing can be hard to recover from." Irina said breathing an unneeded sigh of relief as she backed up to Bella's bed, pressing a kiss to the girls auburn hair as she took Carmen's place in holding the girl.

"You still haven't explained what a Snow Woman is, granny." Leah pointed out smirking when Irina's jaw dropped open in disbelief at what the shifter called her while Kate, Tanya, and Seth busted out laughing. Carmen was giggling with Bella and Eleazer just chuckled while Victoria was plain old confused.

"Irina is Bella, Seth, and Leah's many times great grandmother by blood." Eleazer whispered to Victoria whose eyes widened. It was amazingly rare to find a familial relation anymore, much less three!

"Amazing. My only remaining family relation died two decades ago." Victoria said looking at the four as Irina grabbed Leah and messed with her hair for calling her 'granny'.

"I don't see why you're opposing to it. You are our many times great grandmother and certainly old enough to be called a granny." Bella said cheekily as she looked at Irina who gaped for a second before gently grabbing Bella and messing up her hair like she had Leah's.

"Wait…doesn't that mean our mom and Bells dad are related?" Seth asked frowning slightly as he thought about that, causing his sisters to make faces while Irina looked thoughtful.

"It could be possible but they would be so distantly related that it wouldn't have any adverse effects on any children they might have together." Irina hummed thoughtfully causing Leah to pull a disgusted face alongside Bella.

"I really don't need that image in my mind." Bella said beginning to turn green, which had four of the five present vampires blurring to get the trashcan. Almost as soon as it was placed in front of her Bella had lost her breakfast, Irina cooing soothingly in her ears as she held the girls hair back.

"Sorry little one but you would have gotten sick any ways…morning sickness, you humans now call it." Irina said as Bella finished throwing up her breakfast, Tanya gently using a damp cloth to wash off her face.

"Thanks." Bella said weakly smiling as she leaned back into Irina who rubbed her back soothingly.

"No problem. I daresay most of us vampires know what you're going through." Tanya said sitting on Bella's other side after getting rid of the rag in a blur, smiling sadly at the girl.

"Well somewhat. Our children were full human. Not half and half but we understand most of what you're going through but there's no telling what'll happen from the vampire half." Irina corrected her sister, earning a nod from the eldest of the vampires in the room.

"It doesn't matter what happens though, because we'll be here for you through it all. Especially me." Kate said kneeling down in front of Bella, holding her hands on the girls lap and making Bella blush slightly and look away, much to the others amusement. A slamming of doors caused everyone to look up and the vampires to tense slightly while Leah went to the window of the room, leaning out of it and looking around. Her words caused the vampires to relax slightly while Bella tensed and Seth looked confused.

"Hey your dad is home early Bells and my mom is with him!"
