"Push! Push Bella!" screamed Edward, sounding frightened and scared.
"DON'T YOU THINK I'M TRYING?" I retorted loudly. Suddenly my eyes started to close.
"No! Bella stay with us!" It was too late though; there voices faded away and I fell unconscious as the baby started to bite his way out. "Jacob giver her CPR! We have to keep her blood flowing!" Jacob nodded, pushed Rose out of the way and started with no questions asked. "Alice! Get her out of here!" Alice hurried out of the room.
"Come on Bells…" murmured Jacob, "you can do this!" Jacob kept going and going murmuring to himself the whole time.
I opened my eyes seeing Jacob above me. "Stay with me now Bella!" he said. "Stay! You're not leaving me. Keep your heart beating!" My eyes wheeled looking for someone, my vision seemed blurry but my ears were still sharp enough to hear…
"Renesmee…" Then it was gone. I felt still and my surroundings started to fade away.
"Let… let me see her!" I attempted to croaked. But it was again too late as my surroundings slipped away even further, no sooner had I touched my child, my Renesmee, had I slipped entirely away…
"Bella?"
I opened my eyes and saw Edward's cool eyes looking down on me and his face looked worried. "Are you alright?
I smiled at him, "Of course I'm ok… what's wrong?"
"It's just… you seemed to sort of fade out there for a second, you … you know I don't know, it just looked like you weren't with me there." He eyed me suspiciously. "What happened?"
"I-I don't know, I just had a flash back to when I was giving birth to Renesmee." I smiled and sat up. "Where is she?"
"Wait a minute? When did you give birth?" he asked. He laughed. "Are you trying to be funny?"
I looked at him horrified. "Of course not! What do you mean, when did I give birth? I'm talking about our daughter Renesmee!"
He looked at me his eye brows raised and his face showing signs of deep worry. "Bella… are you sure your fine."
I jumped up losing my temper, "WHAT DO YOU MEAN IS SOMETHING WRONG!! YOU'VE ONLY JUST FORGOTTEN ABOUT OUR CHILD!! OUR RENESMEE!!"
"Bella… you've never given birth. Besides you can't.
"What do you mean I can't!?"
"Bella I've told you before, vampires can't have children."
"I know that! Edward come on remember our honey moon! Me human, you vampire, we didn't think it could be done but… "
Edward shook his head, "Bella something's wrong, you need to see Carlisle."
"Edward, look me in the eyes and tell me you don't remember our baby Renesmee!"
Edward met my eyes and I felt a shiver go down my spine as he said clearly, "We have never had a child named Renesmee."
I stared at him lost for words and ran out the door.
"Bella!" called Edward but I was already on my way to Carlisle's. Edward was right about how I should see him. But my reasons for going were different then for the reasons Edward wanted me see him.
As I charged into the house I found Carlisle in the kitchen pacing.
"Hey there Bella!" He said in a cheerful voice, "How are you!"
"Actually Carlisle… I have a dilemma…"
Carlisle gave me a puzzled look. "What's seems to be the problem?"
I looked up at him, him with his blonde hair and golden eyes. The look on his face was inviting, like he really wanted to hear what I had to say. I took a deep breath and explained what happened at the cottage.
When I finished explaining, a worried look went over his face. "Bella, are you ok?"
Anger flashed over my face. Not him too, what was wrong with him! I stood up. "Carlisle! How can you not remember your own grand-daughter?"
He sighed, "Bella, I can't remember what hasn't happened."
I stared at him in disbelief. "Carlisle…" I looked away. Was I going insane? How could I know?
And then it hit me. There was one place I could find out if I was lying. I rushed out the door and into the night without a second thought.
"Wait!" Carlisle called out after me. I was already out the door though and I wasn't turning back.
"It's pretty dangerous you know," said a cool calm voice.
I stopped suddenly. There was no need to turn around and see who had spoken. I recognized the voice all too well. "Alice?"
"In the flesh…" Alice walked up next her.
I smiled at her, "Alice it's good to see you! Listen, something's wrong, Carlisle and Edward don't remember my daughter! And-" Alice cut me off.
"Listen Bella, I already heard you talking to Carlisle about this, and I have to tell you the truth," she sighed, "I don't remember you having a child either."
"Why don't you believe me?!"
"I didn't say I didn't believe you. I said I didn't remember."
I hesitated. "I need to know I'm not crazy. I'm leaving to find out-"
"I know."
"I take it you also know where I'm going."
"Of course."
"Then you know I have to do this alone."
She smiled. "That's where you're wrong." She paused and closed her eyes to concentrate. "Excellent, I'm going with you."
I gaped at her. "What! You most certainly are not!"
She shrugged. "Since when have my visions been wrong?"
I was lost for words. She never had been wrong. "Fine let's go."
"To visit the Irish coven though, why?"
"To see Maggie."
"How do you know Maggie?"
I gave her an odd look, and then sighed. "Of course, see when the Volturi came after us, or should I say my baby and you, Maggie and the rest of the Irish coven came and helped us, along with Tanya and her coven, not to mention the Egyptian coven, oh! And I met the most amazing people, Ben, Kate, and the Amazons! Zafrina and Senna!" Alice gave me a surprised look. I sighed again. "I assume none of that happened?"
She shook her head. "No, nothing like that happened."
"Oh well…. let's go." And together the two of us took off into the night.
It was still dark when I heard a snap in the trees. I stopped immediately along with Alice. "Who's there?" I called.
A large wolf the size of a bear jumped out and growled at us.
I recognized the rough fur of the wolf's as Jacob's.
"Jacob what are you doing!?"
Jacob glared at Alice with his large wolf eyes filled with disgust.
"We should get going Bella, now!" said Alice.
"What are you talking about?" I demanded
"He's a werewolf Bella, you know I don't like to judge but we're kind of in their territory, we need to move along as fast as we can."
Jacob growled and then shifted back into human form unabashed by his completely bare skin. "She's right," he said in a hoarse but commanding tone. "You need to get out of our territory… now!"
"Jake… what's happened to you… what happened to your-" of course, if I never had the baby, he was never drawn to me…he never developed close ties with the Cullen's, he never imprinted, and he never…got over me. "Jake, this isn't how it's supposed to be! What happened to Renesmee and your feelings for her!! What happened to them?" Jacob snarled at her. "I think becoming a Vampire has messed with your head Bells, now get of here, I'll spare your lives, this time." He turned around but before he could run away I leaped on him.
"Jacob Black what's wrong with you! You should be ashamed of yourself for forgetting Renesmee!" I started to pound on him and he threw me off. He looked a little hurt, mentally and physically.
"I seriously have no idea what you're talking about Bells, but I think you should see that nut doctor of yours"
Alice made a move to strike but I held her back. I was angry. No, angry was an understatement. I was pissed but I wasn't going to risk Alice getting hurt. I on the other hand was willing to let myself risk it. I jumped at him and this time did not hold back, I started pounding him and pounding him until he was finally able to throw me off, he then shape shifted into a wolf and jumped towards me. Alice blocked him.
"Get out of here Bella! I'll be right behind you!" I ran and sure enough Alice threw Jacob down and then followed me.
It wasn't long though before I saw a little girl, she stared at me with an evil glare. Jane. I then quickly focused on protecting Alice. Jane looked like she was concentrating very hard and I felt two large stabs against my shield. Wait a minute! My shield! Why was able to extend it if I never learned how to from Kate! I ran towards Jane who looked terrified. Fortunately for her another vampire got in-between her and me. I quickly ripped him to pieces with Alice's help. Then we started in on Jane who now realized her element of surprise was gone. She quickly ran away. "Don't bother following her Bella, let's just get to the airport. Alice took a step forwards, past where Jane was standing, and then She turned around. I stepped right past where she was.
"What's going on-"
A cold voice interrupted me, "Hello there Bella. It's so nice to see you." I looked up to a figure in a black cloak. I see my little ability didn't work on you… too bad." She jumper down from where she was, straight at me. I blocked her first strike but she was much quicker than me, her fists were soon overrunning me. She then turned from me to face a new opponent, actually to be specific two new opponents, Alice and Jacob. They both came in on her and both ended up crashing into each other. I took the opportunity to tackle her from behind. Soon, Jacob and Alice joined in and we overpowered her. She was forced to hightail it and run.
"Do I always have to save you Bells?" asked Jacob grumpily. I smiled.
"Yes, yes you do… umm… would you maybe… get some clothes?"
"Already have some!" Cheered Alice. "Now what's say the three of us all head to the airport."
"Alice," I said, "we only have two tickets booked."
She smiled her cocky smile. "Actually I booked three tickets, I just did a little peek into the future to see who was getting on the plane with us." Alice ran ahead, Jacob grumbled.
"Thank you." I told him, "I know you didn't have to…"
He didn't say anything and then took off after Alice. I waited there for a second or two and then darted off.
It hadn't taken us long to run to an airport and from there we got our tickets and headed to Ireland.
Soon. Soon I'd get the answers to the questions I had…and believe me, I had a lot of questions…
