Chapter One:

Bella let out another scream. "Carlisle!" Edward yelled. "It's happening again!"

"I know, I know." Carlisle said. There wasn't much confidence in his words. The way he spoke made it all seem like a hopeless casue.

"They baby's out!" Edward yelled. "What's wrong with her! What's wrong!"

Carlisle shook his head. "I don't know… Bella? Bella, can you hear me!" The screaming stopped. Her breathing was rough and forced. Her eyes were opened half way.

"Edward…" She croaked. "See…Edward."

"I'm right here, Bella." He said, running to her side.

"I…love…you…" she said, feebly lifting her hand to his face.

"I love you to." He said miserably. Was there hope left?

He still hoped that maybe she would start breathing again. But she never did. He broke down and landed on his knees, burying his head in her blankets and sobbing without tears. What had he done? If only he had known…
