And here it is, part two, "Bella, Beastward, and Baby." Listen, I know that the whole baby-thing is kind of cliche by now, but really, don't you want to see these two preggers and with a kid? Lord, I do! Since I've already sketched an outline for this story, I can let you know that some hilarity and hijinx will ensue. That being said, this isn't a comedy.

I also want to let you know that I started a new job in PR recently and while it's nice and quiet now, that won't last. So I am going to try my absolute hardest to update weekly, but I hope you'll understand when it doesn't always happen.

I have two wonderful people helping with this fic: HollettLA and DeJeanSmith. Take a bow, ladies. Only two chapters in and already they have been incredible. So thank you in advance for all the miserable gramtaical issues and insecurities.

Without further ado:

I don't own, I just play.


Prologue

The pain was shocking...blindingly so. As I screamed, my knees gave out and I fell to the ground with a horrifying thud. The skin on my right knee split open and began bleeding. A brilliant splash of red trickled down my leg and began dripping onto the parquet floor.

I gripped at my stomach.

I felt the pain of a phantom knife digging into my side. It was excruciating and there wasn't a single thing I could do about it.

I felt paralyzed and for the first time since I found out I was pregnant, I panicked for my unborn child. The child I didn't even know if I wanted.

Good Lord, what would I do if I lost it?

How could I handle almost being a mother? The almost was the worse part. To have made it this far in spite of the doubts and fear, only to never actually hold the baby, hear it cry or laugh?

As I began shivering from fear, things became fuzzy and gray.

No, I thought. NO! Let me live! Let this child live! I want...

But as a familiar pair of hands reached for me, the world went cold and dark.


A/N

I know this prologue was crazy short, but I already have chapter 2 and will post it very soon. I'm waiting for some magical inspiration-fairy to visit me to help with chapter 3, though. You know what would help with that? COMMENTS AND REVIEWS! I know there isn't much to comment on yet, but remember, I need some gentle kicks-in-the-ass to finish chapter 3.
