Ch.1 = Remembrance
B pov
His funeral's today, my little boy's, my Daniel's. He was only four and looked so much like Edward, his father. He had Edward's face, and eye color. Daniel's eye shape and nose, though, were the same as mine. His hair was a mix of both Edward and me, bronze and Brown, which resembled the color of a dirty penny. He was such a beautiful boy.
I was there the day it happened. The day my baby was taken from me so cruelly.
"Mommy, Mommy!" Dan said running up to me and pulling on my shirt sleeve to get my attention. Even though he had my attention twenty-four hours a day.
"Yes baby?"
"Can we go out and play?" he asked smiling his almost toothless grin.
It was one of those rare sunny days in Forks, and the sun would feel nice. But there was a little nagging voice in the back of my head reminding me of the news stories last night and this morning. I ignored the voice and replied to my anxious toddler, "Alright, get the toys you want to play with, then we'll head out."
"Thank you Mommy"
I don't want to remember, but my mind refuses to let the memory go. I can recall every detail of that day.
We played and had a picnic. Dan started to giggle when the ants crawled over his hand.
"Come on Danny, its 1:30 you need to get your nap." I said picking him up and turning toward the house.
"But Mommy, I wanna play some' ore." He begged looking at me with the puppy-dog look he'd inherited from Edward. That look had always gotten him what he wanted. The same now with Daniel.
"Okay, but you have to go to bed early tonight. No arguments. Agreed?"
He nodded, scrambled out of my arms and ran off. Little did I know that soon he would be going to bed permanently.
A half hour later I saw the car. It was maroon and all beat up. It was swerving all over the street, the driver was obviously drunk. I was about to get Dan and go inside when I heard a bang and felt a seer of pain in my left shoulder. I had been shot in the arm.
I heard two more bangs and a scream. I looked up in enough time to see Daniel fall fro the tree house Edward, Emmett, and Jasper had guilt for him only a couple months before.
I ran over to him and tried to stop the blood flowing from his chest and stomach.
Just then Mrs. Kirsh, our next door neighbor, ran out of her house. "Bella what happened? Are you alright?"
"Mrs. Kirsh, could you please call 911 for me? I have to stop this bleeding." I handed her my cell phone and she called
I turned my attention back to my little boy. "Baby, look at Mommy. Look right at me." I told him holding back the sobs that were threatening to over come me. I had to stay strong, if I didn't it would only scare him more. And I couldn't do that to him.
"Mommy, it hurts." I barley heard the words.
"I know baby, I know. But you'll be alright." I hated lying to him. He looked up at me, but his eyes were unfocused and half-empty. Within a minute and a half his breathing stopped and the light had left his eyes. Leaving only a blank stare. I broke down at that point. Letting out the tears, I made sure my son didn't see out. At some point I heard Mrs. Kirsh dialing another number.
I wish I could repeat that day over. If I could nothing would have happened to Dan. And I wouldn't be here curled up on my bed sobbing, with my husband begging me to let him in the room.
"Ma'am, you need to move. We need to move the body and you need your shoulder taken care of." I wouldn't budge. I couldn't leave my baby.
"Let me through. Let me through dammit! That is my family!" I heard Edward yell at someone only a few feet away.
They apparently let him through, because the next thing I heard was the catch of Edward's breath. I felt him kneel beside me and put his arms around my waist, he helped me stand up, and my legs were shaking so hard. I felt like I would collapse. I felt another arms go around my shoulders. I turned and say Jasper and Emmett; Jasper had his arm around me.
They started to guide me to an ambulance.
"No." I stopped once I realized something
"Bella, you need to have your shoulder checked," my left arm had gone numb and blood was polling on my shirt, but I didn't care.
"No, I can't leave him. I … just… can't"
"I'll stay with him love, you go with Emmett and Jasper." said Edward kissing my forehead.
"Promise you won't leave him?"
"I promise'
"Bella. Bella, love please open the door."
"No, go without me," I moaned into the pillow.
"That's not going to happen love." Edward whispered in my ear. I forgot, he knew how to pick the lock. "Please get ready Bella. We need to get going."
"Can't"
"Isabella," I recognized the fact that he used my full name, "now answer me, what's worse. Knowing your child is dead, or not going to his funeral to say good-bye?"
"Both." I mumbled.
"I expected him to laugh, but he didn't. He just picked me up and set my feet on the ground.
I knew there was no use arguing. I was only making his grief worse by acting this way, but I couldn't stop. So I got ready to go say good- bye to my little boy.

AN: please review. Tell me who you think the pov for the next chapter should be.
Thanks to Fall Down Again Bella your story A Night Without Stars sort of gave me the inspiration for this story.
