I watched as Bella fed Jessie from the bottle. His little eyes were closing and then they would flutter open before closing again. Bella smiled down at Jessie and when he was finished she burped him. She got up cradling him close and walked into the spare bedroom, or her room. Buster, my Doberman and Duke got up from near the fireplace and went after her. When I had decided to take Bella to my house I got Jasper to go and buy baby stuff. The boy was lost in all the blue and pink. He called me like twenty times! I moved the stuff into Bella's room for Jessie. I got up and shut off the TV. I walked into the kitchen and opened the refrigerator. I also got Jasper to get me groceries. I shoved a head of lettuce aside and grabbed a beer. I stood up and popped the top. I shut the door and leaned on the counter. Bella walked slowly back out of her room and stopped when she saw me with the beer.
"I hope you are not getting drunk like you used to. " she said softly.
" I don't do that anymore" I shook my head and took another drink. When we were together I used to get plastered and then the next day Bella would take care of me. I smiled I my head and remembered the time she punched me for getting so drunk I puked on her bed. I had a black eye for a long time.
" good" She said and slid awkwardly into a seat at the bar. She just kinda looked at her hands. I remember the Bella that used to jump over top of me to get to the fridge. She was so outgoing with a 'it's my way or the highway ' attitude. Now she was quiet and submissive.
"do you want something to eat?"I asked
" No" She sighed " I'm going to bed" With that she got down and walked to her room. she closed the door softly behind her.
I finished the beer and threw it away. I shut off all the lights and went down the hall to my room. After a shower and getting on my Pj's I slid under the covers and fell asleep.

I woke sometime in the night to a strange sound. I sat up and looked at Jessie. He lay in his crib next to me still asleep. I looked around the dark room trying to find what woke me. I felt like someone was watching me and curled up in a ball. I lay back down and closed my eyes. I willed the creepy feeling that took over me to go away. Then the window shattered spilling glass all over the floor and into Jessie's crib. I screamed and gunfire rain into the room. The bullets bounced off walls and broke the mirror. I felt sharp stinging pain run through my body and only one thing rang through my mind
Jessie!
I dove to the crib and grabbed Jessie. I pulled him under me and another wave of pain whipped through me. I saw the black void pulling me in. I struggled to stay conscious but the void sucked me in.

I was lying in my bed when I felt it. That sense of uneasiness. I sat up and at that moment heard glass shatter and Bella scream. I jumped out of bed and grabbed my shotgun off the wall. I ran to her room and heard gunfire erupt. I heard the mirror break and slowly pushed the door open. The bullets rained through the window. I got down on the ground and moved over to it. I jumped up and went to the wall near the window. My heart screamed at me to look at Bella and Jessie but I had to deal with the person firing through the window. I pulled the shotgun to my shoulder and fired out the window. I reloaded and fired again and again. The gunfire stopped and stood still. I slowly peeked out the window and didn't see anything. I then took out my phone and called Jasper, speed dial 4.I turned and looked for Bella and gasped. She lay there on top of the crib with three bullet wounds in her. Her clothes were soaked with blood.
"What the heck Edward! Its 2 in the morning!" Jasper snapped and I freaked. By this time I was leaning over Bella.
"Jasper! Bella's shot! Someone shot her three times! I think she's dead!" I screamed into the phone.
"Hold on Edward. I'll get the guys and an ambulance and get over there. Stop her bleeding" Jasper said quickly and shut off the phone. I let it drop out of my hand and onto the floor. I turned her over and Jessie was cradled to her chest and he started crying. I quickly pressed my fingers to Bella's throat and almost jumped up and down with happiness when I felt a small flutter of her pulse.
What did Jasper say? 'Stop her bleeding'
I quickly grabbed the sheets and tore them. She was shot two times in her side and once in her arm. I quickly tied the sheets around the wounds and took Jessie out of her arms. I lay Bella on the bed and prayed. I cradled Jessie to my chest. He didn't look hurt except for a small cut from the glass on his arm. Bella had saved him. He looked at Bella and heard the sirens of the Ambulance and Police Cars coming down the drive. I slowly moved closer to her and checked her pulse again. I willed her to live so I can see her eyes again. Men came bursting in the door and Jasper ran into the room. He stopped in the door and looked at the bullet filled walls, broken mirror and window, bullets lying on the floor, Jessie and I sitting on the blood soaked bed and finally Bella unmoving body. He rushed forward and touched Bella gently.
"She's alive?" He asked. Emmet raced in after him and ran to the bed
"Bella Boo!" He cried using his nickname for her and touched her too.
"Barely "I said and stood with Jessie in my arms." she saved Jessie's life" Then men from the hospital came in and began to look at Bella. Someone came over and took Jessie from me, him crying the whole time. Emmet, Jasper and I watched as they loaded Bella onto a gurney and rolled her out and taking Jessie with them.
"Did you see him?" Jasper asked
"The shooter? No. I heard the window break and then the gunfire and I ran in. I shot out the window and couple times and the shooting stopped. You still might find him." I said
"The guys are looking in the forest and fields now" Jasper said.
"I'll kill the person who did this!" Emmet snarled next to me. "Do you think it was the guy that set Peter's house on fire?"
"I bet. He must have something on Bella" Jasper said. We all walked out of the room and to Jasper's squad car. We drove off after the Ambulance. I was still in a mild state of shock. Bella's shot, she could die... Something inside me said
'and I haven't even told her I love her'
I ignored it.

I groaned and tried to move. I felt pain radiating through my body. I tried to think about what happened but my head hurts way too much. I force my eyes open and fight another wave of pain. I'm in the hospital again. I try to remember what happened. I groaned again and try not to move. Then a shadow blurred my vision and my eyes struggled to focus.
" oh thank god " A familiar voice gasped
" Bells!" Another voice yelped and I winced
" shh you idiot!" the first voice snapped
" sorry" The second voice whimpered. My eyes came into focus and I saw Edward and his brother, Emmett. Emmett ever changed, same childish face and voice.
" Isabella can you hear me?" Edward asked. I opened my mouth to find it a stinging dry. Emmett vanished from my peripheral vision and came back with a little water.
" here Belly" he tilted my head up and drank the water.
" thanks Emmy" I said softly. I tried to lift my head and pain shot through my body again. I closed my eyes in pain and laid my head back down.
" Bella you can't move. your really hurt bad" Edward said.
" how?" I didn't remember much in the past hours. " where is Jessie?"
" he's over in intensive care. You saved his life Bella" Emmet said. " some meanie tried killing you. You have bullet wounds on your body."
I groaned " so that's why I hurt"
" you gotta take it easy" Edward said. I looked into his eyes and saw the old Edward, kind, caring, worried Edward.
"Emmet why don't you go and eat some pie from the cafe or something?" Edward said.
" ohh, Pie and Cookies! Sorry Bell's but that's my calling card!" Emmet was out the door. I smiled and even my cheeks were sore. I watched him leave then heard Edward sit in a chair.
" how's Jessie?" I asked alarmed. I hoped he wasn't dead. He's all I had left anymore.
" he's fine. You saved him" Edward his, his face grave. We sat in silence for a long time. I fell asleep soon. The meds made me drowsy.

I sat watching Bella sleep. The wraps on her head and all over her body reminded me that she could have died. A nurse came in the door and handed me some papers. It was the DNA test I paid extra for them to do on Jessie.
" It was hard to find the Father. We didn't have many records of blood here but we found him." She told me . I nodded and thanked her. I sat there on the chair looking at the folded piece of paper that would clear up a very large part of the questions that rolled in my head. I held my breath and opened the Paper. There was a whole bunch of mumbo-jumbo there and then...
Mother: Isabella Marie Swan
Father: Peter Allen Duncan.
I swear my heart stopped beating. I couldn't breathe as my eyes zeroed in on the man's mane.
Duncan! how in heck!
My mind reeled as it went through the many scenarios on how Duncan could be my Sweet Bella's lover. I had found her outside his house. that means she must have been living there with him. The shack was not even good for him to live in much less Bella and Jessie! I still sat there in shock when I heard Emmet's big boots thud on the floor. he walked in with Pie over flowing his mouth and a stack of cookies on a plate along with two slices of pie. He saw my face and stopped in mid chew. He quickly looked at Bella and then to me and then the paper in my hands.
" dude what's that?" he asked
" DNA test for Jessie" I mumbled and he came closer. I forced myself to say the words that tore my heart in half. " Jessie's Duncan's son"
