The Apple Of His Eye Is Not Bella

Ashley Jamison

Bella awake in the comfort of Edward's arms, she pulled the covers off of her bare body revealing her pregnancy. She looked back at Edward, he looked so peaceful sleeping.

Too bad he was only played sleeping, Bella chuckled and Edward smiled and opened his eyes.

"Good Sleep?"

He sat up and kissed her, she chuckled again,

"Yes and you?"

"Very funny,"

He put his head to her belly and listened, Bella backed away and Edward fell face forward out of bed. They both laughed and he got up revealing his bare body as well and they shared another kiss.

She fell into him and he held her, she buried her head into his cold shoulder. Suddenly, she gasped making Edward push her back a little, she grabbed her stomach and kneeled to the floor. She look to Edward with blood shot eyes, they both looked down. Bella touched herself and felt the thick, warm, liquid of blood.

He picked her up and carried her carefully down the stairs; he could feel Bella bleeding all over his arm.

"I smell blood……" Jasper gasped out.

Alice joined him in seeking out the blood.

"It's one of us," She continued sniffing,

They both snapped their heads back to Edward who rushed with Bella in his arms. Jasper watched the blood drip from Bella's vagina onto the floor, as much as the urge he had to drink the drops of blood from the floor. He snapped out of it and helped open the door.

Alice followed behind them and sat in the back of the car,

"Edward…."

"What?!"

"You do realize?"

He looked down and then back at Jasper,

"Yeah, I'll get you both some clothes,"

"Hurry,"

Alice gripped Bella's hand,

"Does it hurt?"

She signed from crying so hard and took a breath,

"It stopped hurting, but I'm still bleeding,"

She held up a bloody hand to Alice, she looked over to Edward who was rushing to pull on the clothes Jasper brought.

"Edward,"

"Don't worry, please just be calm so the bleeding won't worsen."

"It's too late,"

He finished buttoning his jeans and pulled on his shirt, Alice stroked Bella's hair,

"Spread your legs, it is going to have to come out."

Bella looked at Alice as if she has gone mad, Alice looked at Bella and put a hand on her thighs and started to pull them apart.

"Just breathe and push, Bella."

Bella nodded and started labor breathing and began to push. The silent baby came out almost too easy. Alice wrapped the baby in a blanket Jasper handed her and wiped some of the blood from the baby's dark eyes.

"What is going on?"

Esme and Carlisle came from the house; they saw the bloody baby in Alice's arms and Bella crying.

"Give me it,"

Carlisle held his hands out and Alice wrapped the silent baby even tighter in the blanket.

"It's dead father, there is no need to…."

He showed up a hand to silence her, Carlisle first looked over the baby and then put the tiny thing to his ear. He put it down and stared at it for a while.

"Carlisle?"

Esme broke the silence between everyone,

"It would have made a good son to the family,"

Esme turned to the cry Bella and Edward burrowed his head in his arms on the steering wheel.

"What will we do with it until then?"

Carlisle continued to stare at the dead baby,

"What anyone would do with a dead baby, we get rid of it,"

"You mean like a funeral?"

"No, we cannot not now Carlisle, more hunters like James wanting us to come out of hiding." Alice warned.

"I wasn't talking about a funeral, Jasper you and Alice take it out to the farthest, darkest part in the woods."

"And do what with it?" Asked Jasper,

"Feed it to the wolves,"

Bella began bawling and reached out to Carlisle.

"Give me my baby!"

He nodded and signaled for Jasper; Alice joined then and took the baby from Carlisle.

"Give me my baby you monsters!"

Edward reached back to calm Bella with his touch, but she rejected him and cried out again.

"I want to go home now; I don't want to stay here anymore!"

"Bella, you don't mean that,"

She turned to her side and balled up,

"We must take her to the hospital,"

"No they will only ask questions,"

Jasper grasped Bella's hand and then put an arm around her.

"Don't worry, I'm sure nature will take care of it."

She turned to him and then pushed him off.

Alice broke in.

"We must move now before dark, it's full moon tonight, the lycans will want to hunt."

"Give then the damned thing as a offering," Rosalie in the conversation.

Carlisle just sighed and looked at Bella half naked and wrapped in a sheet.

"Lets just get Bella in the house, I will treat her there."

Edward sighed and picked Bella up and carried her carefully back into the house. Bella nestled into the soft, blue pillows and lay with her legs open. She waited calmly as Esme entered the room with hot water in a Chinese bowl and towel.

She smiled at Bella and stroked her hair out of her face,

"Bella, I understand that you're upset about the baby and you wish to blame someone. But you must understand that you cannot go home now."

Esme could see the sedative take its hold over Bella, she smiled again and finished cleaning Bella's bloody legs.
