Preface

BPOV

He doesn't want me. Why doesn't he want me? Oh, I know. It's because I'm human and that means I'm not good enough for him. I sat on my bed rubbing my queasy stomach. Every time I eat, I get queasy. I lifted up my shirt and gasped.

No, that's impossible, I looking at my swallon stomach and gasped. I knew for a fact that it wasn't that big when I went to bed last night. But, I guess, in a strange way it all made sense. The queasiness, vomiting whenever I eat but two things that didn't make sense were, the only person I was ever with was a vampire. Vampire cannot have children. The second thing, I was only with him a week ago. I shouldn't be showing by now. My body shouldn't even be able to register a pregnancy.

That clearly meant that this wasn't going to be a human pregnancy. That meant, I had to get out of here. I couldn't stay. For the risk of exposing the fact that my child wasn't human. I grabbed a bag just as I felt a little nudge, like the fluttering of a butterfly.

I knew that was not normal. I got in my truck after leaving a note for Charlie stating that I was going off for a fresh start.

I got in my truck and went to the one place I knew no one would look for me.

I drove down the narrow highway. Feelings of fear, dread, happiness, despair and on top of that, loneliness. Edward should be here. But he's not. Does he know? Did Alice see this? Where is he? Is is happy? The whole in my chest was still there but it was getting numb.

I went to the Cullens' old home, to raise my baby and eventually, I would go find him. Because, a realization hit. He lied!

He didn't leave me because he didn't want me. He left right after Jasper attacked me. He left to protect me. He lied because he thought I'd be better off without him.

I know Edward would do anything to protect me, mo matter how much it hurts him.

I would go and find him. If I survive this pregnancy.

I know it's short but, it's only a preface. More coming later.
