Chapter 3: Here
Bella's POV

"Bella?"

I turned my head to see someone in the shadows. Alice was bouncing up and down and she was over with the figure in a second. "Hey Jasper."

"You look... different." He said, walking more towards me a small smile. He stopped in a hult, his golden eyes turning a little darker every second. I took a step back. Alice turned her had towards him, talking to him to fast. It sounded like a low hum.

His eyes were still locked on mine as he said something back to her. She nodded her head as he raised his eye brows. "Huh. No wonder you smell different."

"Jasper, no!" Alice screamed but it was to late. His eyes were dark black now, his eyes almost looking like they were glowing. A growl came out of him as he lunged forward at me. Emmett was in front of Jasper, put Jasper got out.

Next Carlisle was up, grabbing Jasper but loosing his grip when Jasper threw him off. Esme and Rosalie tried to grab him, and they did, but not tight enough. My body had hit the back of the house now.

His eyes snapped towards me again, as he ran right at me. Emmett and Carlisle had gotten back up, but I knew already it was to late. One of my hands instantly flew down onto my stomach, and the other was shielding my eyes. My breathing stopped as I waited for the impact. And the pain.

A loud crackling sound sound startled me, as a I could see behind my closed eyes someone standing in front of me. A growl came from the person. I wanted to look, but I didn't dare to open my eyes.

Finally it was silent. The only things I could hear was the leaves rustling in the breeze. One of my eyes opened to see Emmett, Esme and Carlisle dragging off Jasper, who liked he had just killed a puppy.

Rosalie and Alice were staring at someone who I couldn't see.

"I thought you weren't coming until tomorrow?" Alice voice asked. I squinted my eyes, trying to see over the light, but that only made it worse. The figure didn't move at first, and it looked like it was staring at me.

"I realized something."

I froze. He walked out, his skin glistening in the sunlight.

"Edward," His eyes never left mine as Rosalie talked to him. He didn't seem to notice. I didn't know if I was walking towards him or he was walking towards me, because suddenly we were face to face with each other.

"Rose." Alice's voice trailed off as she pulled Rosalie into the woods. My eyes darted back to his. He took a step closer this time, hesitating.

"Bella," his voice was so soft that it almost cracked. "it's really you." I didn't know how to respond to that, so I nodded.

"In Alaska." Now I was the one to take a step closer. Then he froze. "But why? After what I've done to you, put your life through danger, why are you still here?" I suddenly got angry, but I knew that it was hormones.

"You told me never to trust vampires. So I didn't." His face looked surprised. "I need you to answer something for me. What you said in the forest. Was it true?" I asked, preparing for the answer.

His stare was so intense on me as he answered. "No."

"Then why-"

"Bella I had to lie," he sighed, grabbing onto my hands. A shock ran up me and I gasped. He continued, "if I hadn't have you wouldn't have believed me and would have followed me here."

"To late for that." I muttered under my breath. He smiled a sad smile.

"I've put you through danger, and you are still here. What is it going to take for me to finally make you run from the house screaming in terror, finally realizing that I'm not the one you want to spend the rest of your life with?"

"When Alice stops shopping I'll run screaming, kay?" I said with a smile. I was lightly crushed to his body in a second, his arms around me holding me to him. I instinctively wrapped my arms around his neck, pulling him as close to me as I could.

"Aw! Look at the happy couple!" Emmett said, walking through the door. I turned my head to look at him, to see the biggest smile I've ever seen him have. Edward stiffened, his eyes growing darker.

"Oops..." Emmett said softly, his face horror struck. I turned to Edward, my hand cupping his face now.

"Edward?" He stopped breathing as his jaw set. His hands on my back turned into fists.

"I'm going to kill that dog!" He growled, standing up. I squeaked at the sudden movement but was back in Edward's arms in an instant. His grip on me was looser. "You're pregnant?"

This was the moment I dreaded on having. My eyes looked down at the ground, but I could feel his stare. I nodded my head meekly. He growled, but it stopped as I placed my lips to his throat.

"Don't." Was all I said. His eyes were still black, but I could tell that he was calmer than he was before. There was a sharp pain in my side, and I screamed at the sudden pain. Edward's head snapped down to mine, placing me onto the couch gently.

"Carlisle," I remembered that voice. It was the same voice as when he had saved me from James. James. And, Victoria.

Victoria!

She was still out there on the loose, looking for me. Again the stabbing came back to my side, and I screamed again.

"Bella, breath with me." I heard Edward's voice in the distance. I saw blackness as I finally felt myself relax.

"It seems that the baby is growing faster than we think." Carlisle's voice came from my left. Edward's grip on my hand tightened. "It had cracked one of her ribs on the left side."

"If it's going to keep progressing like this-"

"Edward, I can't give up this baby. No matter what." I sighed out, staring up at him. His face looked pained. "It's already a part of me. I couldn't live with myself if I knew that I had killed an innocent life."

"But Bella-"

"Don't make me." I cut him off, closing my eyes. Then the next minute I was in a sleep state, but not fully asleep. I felt arms around me as they lifted me up, going up the steps. That's when I fell asleep.

When I woke up I was confused. I was alone in a dark room, and there was a faint annoying beeping sound. I groaned as I took a big breath in, letting it out slowly. That hurt. There was movement around me and then she stilled.

"Victoria," I gasped, sitting up straighter and coughing as it was difficult to breath. She glared at me, then smiled sweetly.

"Nice to see you again Bella." She said walking closer. Stopping in front of me, she didn't say a word. I heard a crunching sound before I felt the pain. I screamed out, flailing against her tight grip on me. She had punched my stomach... the baby!

"No!" I screamed out, sobbing now. Her grip on me tightened. I couldn't stop screaming as I woke up.

"Bella!" Alice's voice screamed at me. She was shaking me a little harder than normal. I gasped, still crying. I stared up at her as she looked panicked. I looked down, putting my hand on my stomach, sobbing. The baby was okay. I sighed in relief, but the tears wouldn't stop.

She pulled out something from her pocket, and before she could even say a word, Edward's voice shouted over the phone. "Alice? Wheres Bella? Is she okay? I knew I shouldn't have left to hunt. I'm coming home now." He said hurriedly. She said something to fast for me to hear but looked at me.

About two minutes later the door smashed open with a loud bang, letting in a worried looking Edward. I knew he could see the tear tracks visible on my face. He raced over towards the couch that I was now laying on with a blanket draped over me and took me into his arms.

And that was when I finally realized how hard having this baby was going to be.

I really didn't want to stop it here, but I now have writers block. And another guinea pig to attend to... thanks for reading the story! Have a good day! Or night... when ever your reading this! :o) its a clown! Okay awkward...
