A/N I need to say a huge thanks to my beta Twilightaddict71484 for her awesome skills, and my pre readers XxJasper'sAngelxX and sinfulroad69. Love you girls, and if it wasn't for you, this chapter wouldn't be here. Now we get to hear from Renee on her thoughts of what has happened. Hope you enjoy.

I do not own Twilight or any of the characters.

Peter's POV

This was beginning to get really good. Renee was tearing into her daughter, then Jasper, and then back to her daughter. I couldn't fucking wait to see what she did next. As long as she didn't tear me a new one. She may be half human but Renee is one scary lady. I can promise, you do NOT want to piss her off!

Bella's POV

I just stood there looking at mom like she had just said the stupidest thing ever. How in the fuck could she want me to go and stand by the asshole, I'll never know. But, I also know that you do not want to cross mom. I could only hope that she would explain her reasons.

I just stood there staring at her, hoping that she would just drop it. I should have known better. She looked over at Felix, and he started for me. I shot over to Jasper before he could get to me. Mom could lead me to the water, but I sure as fuck wasn't drinking it, or touching it!

Once I was next to Jasper and looking at mom she started talking,"You know, I've heard all about the Cullens. How different they are from "normal" vampires. They refuse to drink from humans, and they have or did have enormous amounts of compassion, and control. I looked up to you even though I had never met any of you. Then, I met Peter and Char."

"Through them, I got to know each and every one of you. I can tell you who you are just because of Peter's descriptions, as well as your personalities. Carlisle, turned while chasing a vampire, thinking he could kill it. Esme, jumped off a cliff because she couldn't handle the loss of her only child. Carlisle, knowing she was his mate heard her weak heartbeat and saved her by turning her."

As she talked, she would go to the one she was talking about to prove that she did indeed know who each person was, "Edward, dying of the Spanish flu. His parents already dead from it, he was Carlisle's first companion. He's also gifted with the ability to read minds, except for Bella's. Besides Alice, he was turned at the youngest human age. Rosalie was next. Carlisle found her after she was brutally raped, and left for dead. He turned her in the hopes that she would become a mate for Edward."

"Next is Emmett. He was found by Rosalie being mauled by a bear. She wanted him as a mate, and carried him, bleeding, to Carlisle to be turned for her, he would have died if he hadn't. Then there's Alice. She doesn't know who her sire is, but has visions of the future. She saw another vampire that would go with her to find the family of animal drinkers. Her visions led her to a diner."

"Alice and Jasper, both thought that they could be together, but when they finally got to the family, Alice met Edward, and they fell in love. That leaves you Jasper. Your introduction into the vampire world was brutal, bloody, dark, and dangerous. It was kill or be killed, and so you learned it well. Being an empath made it harder on you than it would have been otherwise. You hated having to feel the fear, and pain, whenever you fed, so when Alice offered you a different way of life you jumped on it."

"Through the family you have learned how to love. What it means to love, and care about others. The God of War, has learned how to be merciful, and compassionate. How to live without fear of who might try to kill you next. You don't have to look over your shoulder any more, because the only person you will see, is someone you truly care about."

"Do you know Carlisle, that I changed my diet from human blood to animal blood because of you and your family? When I found out that my daughter, my Isabella was going to be given to you Jasper, I found a new emotion, one that I had never had before. Would you like to know what emotion that was? Its really a simple emotion, and most people have it most of the time, throughout their lives. Its called hope."

"I had hopes that even though my baby was being forced to marry a vampire she had never met, that maybe she would at least be taken care of properly. Most of the girls who are given to single male vampires are treated with no compassion at all. They are treated harshly, and at least half of them are either killed by the vampire, or commit suicide. I had hope that my little girl, would be treated with respect, and compassion."

"Even when I found out what the Volturi were going to do. I felt that there was no way the Cullens would mistreat my baby, I still had hope. Did you know Jasper, that my daughter actually lied to me? She fucking did it to keep me from worrying, and I understand that. She also did it, because I know that she was hoping that some of that compassion would kick in for her, and you would start treating her better."

"She also felt so fucking bad that she was being forced to keep quiet. It was either say nothing, or be honest and forfeit my life. It hurt her to see that the compassionate, loving, Cullens were apparently gone. She never got a chance to meet them. That's the saddest part of all of this."

"Now, I asked Aro if I could come here, when I was talking to Bella, and we were interrupted. I heard her scream before the call was disconnected. I immediately called Peter, and begged him to come and check on my baby. I told him I was going to Aro and asking if I could visit. He wanted proof that the Cullens were treating Bella badly because of the lies before he would let me come. So, I called you, Carlisle. You, then called Aro, and because Aro knows you to be an honest man, he simply asked how things were going. I hated how excited, and happy he became when he found out the mighty Cullens could treat someone with no compassion at all."

"Now, before I go on there is something that I need to say directly to both Jasper, and Bella. Baby, I need you to listen to me and I know you will not like what I'm going to say, but please just wait and hear me out. I want you to talk to Jasper, and I want you to tell him exactly how you felt when he did different things. Then Jasper, I want you to explain to her why you were so angry with her. And just so you know, I am not an empath like you are, but I will know if you are fucking lying or leaving something out. There is a reason that I'm telling you this. Before I continue though, I need to ask if you have eaten any regular food, baby?"

I nodded that I hadn't eaten. Esme who had been in the kitchen off and on came out with some sandwiches. Mom and I both started eating, and then she nodded to Felix. He stepped into the middle and started explaining how the brothers are obsessed with doing experiments. He went on to tell how many of the guard members are sick of what the Volturi are doing.

Then he dropped the bomb, "I know that you, Bella, are wondering why Demetri is here. I of course was to escort your mom here, and make sure she goes back to where Aro can keep her under control. Demetri will be staying here to make sure that things go accordingly as they should. He has also been given an assignment, of sorts. Unfortunately, for him, he has to change his diet to animal blood as long as he is here. While he won't actually be staying here in the house with everyone, he will be watching. Bella, your mom has some things that you need to know. I'll let her be the one to tell you. Now, one more thing, everyone will have a chance to speak, and I'm warning you now, Renee will know if you lie."

We were done eating by then so mom got up, and moved back to the middle, "Now, I'm going to let Carlisle say what he needs to say to you Bella, and then his family can take turns. Jasper, you'll be last, and you need to tell Bella why you were so angry with her. Then baby, it'll be your turn. There are things that need to be done, and quickly, so this shit that was started by Aro, needs to start healing so everyone can go forward."

"Can I ask you a question before I say anything else? You have said several times that you would know if we lied, or left something out. Do you have a gift that allows you to know if someone is lying?" Carlisle asked.

"Yes, and no. I'm what you would call a seer. But, unlike Alice who has visions based on decisions, and can be changed by changing your mind, and Peter who just "knows shit", but never the reasons why behind what he does know; my gift is sure. You see, I already know why Jasper has been so angry with my daughter. I know what will happen between them, or won't happen. I know that this isn't going to be fixed by just talking, but at least if everyone has a chance to explain their thoughts and feelings, then everyone can be able to start to heal from all of this fucked up shit."

"Mom, you are talking like I'm staying here. Surely, you're not leaving me here with Jasper?" I cried.

She quickly pulled me up and over to Jasper, making me stand once again next to him, and with tears in her eyes she dropped the next bomb, "Baby, you have to stay here. If I don't go back, they'll come and kill me. Now, they are offering you a new deal, so the Cullens are no longer in danger. Even if Jasper doesn't fulfill his part, his family and himself are now safe. But I'm saving that for after we have done the heart to heart."

She nodded at Carlisle, "First of all Bella, I need to say how so very sorry I am for what we did, and didn't do. I know there just aren't words to convince you just how sorry I am personally for my part in all of this. There isn't really any way to make up for how we allowed you to be treated. But, please just allow me to say what I need to."

I nodded letting him know to go on, but his words held no meaning to me at this point, "I have never been more ashamed of myself than I am right now. I always prided myself about being a compassionate person, or vampire if you will. I have always given others the benefit of the doubt, I have tried to never judge a person, and I have always given compassion even to those who really didn't deserve it. In this regard, I have severely failed, not only you, but my family as well. They have always looked to me for leadership. I know that I can't ask for your forgiveness because what we did is unforgivable, but, I do ask that you would allow us to treat you the way you should have been treated in spite of what we were told. I do have a question though?"

Mom nodded to go ahead, "Jasper said that both Felix, and Demetri, told him about having sex with Bella, he also said that she had killed her own mother. What was that all about?"

It was Felix that spoke up, "We had to. We had to make you believe all of the lies. We had to make you believe that she was evil, evil enough to kill her own mother, which you all know now didn't happen. She never had sex with any of the guards, or anyone else."

Jasper then gasped, and nearly fell to his knees, "Oh fuck, and I almost raped you. No wonder you hate me. I can't feel your emotions but I can see the hate in your eyes every time you look at me."

The pain in his eyes, and on his face almost made me feel sorry for his ass. It was mom who spoke up then, "Bella, you need to keep in mind that these people are as much of a victim as you were. Wait until you hear everyone out before allowing an ugly emotion like hate fill you up."

At that point, everyone in the family came forward and told me they were sorry. I didn't really blame any of them as much as I did Carlisle, and Jasper. Esme had tried to get Jasper to take it easy on me, so I didn't hate her as much. Rosalie had helped Carlisle pull Jasper off of me, so I kind of owed her.

Then it was Jasper's turn, and mom made me turn to face him. He did something that shocked me; he dropped to his knees in front of me, not caring that there was a room full of people, or vampires.

He gently took my hands and then started. I was about to pull my hands away, but the look mom gave me stopped me cold. When he finally started speaking his voice was low, and laced with pain, "Isabella, I'm so fucking sorry. I know that its not good enough, but please know that I would have never touched you if I had known the truth. I treated you like shit stuck to my shoe, and your mom is right, there is a reason behind my anger. You made me feel things that I have never felt before. Not for humans anyway. You are so very beautiful, and I found my heart trying to betray me every time I looked at you. Now, I understand that my heart wasn't trying to betray me, it was trying to show me the truth and I refused to listen. That's why I was so angry, for the first time in my existence I was confused. I know you hate me, and I don't blame you, I hate myself. But, can you at least give me the chance to show you that I can treat you like a queen?"

I quickly looked at mom and she just nodded yes to me. So, I looked at Jasper, and realized that he was telling me that he was strongly attracted to me, just like I was, no am, yeah, I'm confused too. I really want to hate him, but I'm finding it hard to do. I do know that I won't trust him, and he'll have to work to earn it.

My mom spoke up then, "Jasper, you are under no obligation any longer to even stay married, let alone make a baby with her. But I need to know what you want to do?"

He stood up and faced mom, "Ma'am, I am a man who believes in honor. I married Isabella, and I will stay married to her and will complete what I promised to do; if she'll allow me to."

"Bella, what do you want to do? Like I said there is a new deal on the table and you have a choice. Do you want to hear it?"

"Does it mean I don't have to get pregnant at all?" I asked.

"Unfortunately, no, you still have to be pregnant in six months. Here's the deal. Aro realized that with Jasper he would have a hybrid with the empathic gift, along with your gift. Now, if you got pregnant with a tracker's baby, then that would be even better. A tracker that couldn't be affected by another vampire's gift. That's why Demetri is here. So you have a choice, either Jasper, or Demetri. If you were to choose the latter, then your marriage would be dissolved. Its up to you."

I just stood there shocked. I knew more about Demetri, and I also knew that he was attracted me. That's why Felix fought so hard, besides mom of course, for me not to get pregnant with someone else's baby. I have never returned the feelings, but then I just always saw him as kind of a friend, and not even a close one at that. I had found out that Felix was actually going to suggest I be given to Demetri, but mom had told him that she would prefer me to be with Jasper.

Mom still wasn't finished dropping bombs, "There's more baby, but I need you to allow Jasper to do something before I say anymore. Jasper, I need you to just hold my daughter. Pull her to your chest and wrap your arms around her, just like you would if you needed to restrain her. Bella, DO NOT use your gift on him to get away, do you understand me?"

Now, I was scared. I allowed Jasper to do as he was asked but he was very gentle about the way he did it. Once he had me pinned, I saw Felix go and stand next to mom, and hold her. Oh, fuck, this must be bad.

"Bella, you aren't the only one being forced to get pregnant and carry a child. Its why I value my life even more. If the Volturi kill me, they'll also be killing the unborn baby I now carry. If you do not obey, not only will I be killed, but so will my baby. Felix is the father."

All I could see was red. I vaguely remember trying to get out of Jasper's grasp, fighting, and I was just about to use my shield to push him away, and then everything went black. . .

A/N Please tell me your thoughts. Next chapter Bella gets her turn, and Renee has a heart to heart with Jasper.
