Sorry it took me a bit longer, but I wanted to make this chapter as best as I could, since it has a very pivotal moment in it. Also, I decided to make her farther along in her pregnancy, so while I had her being only a couple of days, I'll just go ahead and make it a couple of weeks, so she's starting to show, because that gets the ball moving on a few things that I have planned.

I hope everyone enjoy and, as always, please review!

Missy

I was still seething as my mate began to wake up. It had only been a couple of minutes since her sleep-declaration, and I was fighting my beast to not go and find my idiot brother at this very moment and rip him a new one. Bella was the only reason that I was still here, and he was still alive.

After what she said, my family was torn with the same murderous thoughts, and Esme and Carlisle were just plain disappointed, which pissed me off, because if I were them, I'd be a whole lot more than just disappointed.

Emmett decided to take Audrina for a short walk in the woods to give my mate and I some time before Bella saw her sister. I didn't want to overload her while she was just coming to, because of her being pregnant and everything else that she's had to already take in today. Carlisle was on his way home to check her out, but everyone else stepped outside, for the time being.

Finally, Bella's eyes opened, and I was looking into the most beautiful chocolate brown eyes I had ever seen, and I don't think that I'm biased just because she is my mate. She really did have beautiful eyes.

And as soon as those eyes looked straight into mine, it really was like love at first sight. The corners of her lip began to twitch upward as she stared into my eyes, projecting to me the magnitude of what I felt. I guess mates really had an instantaneous connection, vampire or not.

"My angel," she whispered, now having a beautiful smile on her face. I couldn't help but smile back as I moved a strand of hair away from her face.

"I was about to say the same thing," I admitted truthfully. She blushed, and I couldn't help but think of how damn cute it was. She was mine, and I was proud of it.

Bella's POV

When I awoke to the beautiful face of my angel, I knew that Edward had been right and wrong about a lot of things. Like in the beginning of the two of us knowing each other, he had claimed that we were mates, but that I could not feel or notice the connection until once I became like him.

As I looked to the woman who saved me, I knew he was wrong, because I felt more deeply connected with her than anyone, in my whole entire life.

After blushing at her words, I positioned myself better so that I could see her face. Her skin was pale, like any other vampire, and her eyes a golden color, much like his were. I flinched inwardly, at that, yet I think she felt it, because a look of pain crossed her face.

"What's wrong?" she asked me, the back of her hand caressing my cheek. That's when I felt the tears coming, but before even one could fall, I was sitting in her lap, her arms wrapped comfortingly around me, rubbing soothing circles into my back. She allowed me to have a good cry while she hugged me, whispering to me that everything was going to be okay, and that now that she had me, I could never get rid of her.

I couldn't help but chuckle at that. Like I would even want to.

Once I was calm enough, I placed my head on her shoulders, my face leaning into the crook of her neck as I breathed in her intoxicating scent of honey and orchids. And that's when I was brought back to the present as something fluttered in my stomach, and most of the past events came rushing back to me in a heavy haze.

"Oh my god," I whispered. One hand went to my stomach as my angel looked at me, a worried look that was out of place on her beautiful face. That's when it all came back to me, that I was pregnant, but not normally. I wondered if I would die, but no matter what I believed, the thought of killing my little baby before her life even began brought tears to my eyes. I knew I could never do that. As I looked into the face of my mate, I saw that she was still worried about me, so I took her hand in my own, pulling it to my stomach. "I just remembered that I was…pregnant…by a vampire," I added softly as an afterthought. I don't know if it was the word vampire or what, but she flinched, before quickly hiding it and softly squeezing my hand.

"How do you feel…about that?" she asked softly, looking into my eyes as I took a deep breath, sighing.

"I'm scared, but I'm going to have her," I whispered, knowing she could hear me. She smiled softly at me as I closed my eyes for a brief moment. While I did, my mind's eye held the image of a beautiful rose, that I could see my mate's face in. When I opened my eyes, I looked at her, seeing her smile waver slightly, until I whispered, "Rose."

To say she was in shock was the understatement of the century. I didn't think it possible to surprise a vampire, but I pulled it off. "How did you know my name?"

I smiled one of those smiles that said that I was seventeen, but my soul was probably older. Sometimes I knew things that I shouldn't know, and I partially knew why, but I didn't know how she'd feel about it. "I can do some things that…aren't considered human. Powers, I guess you could call them. They don't always work the way that I'd like, but they're there when I need them."

Rose's smile got bigger, if that were possible. Then it was as if she remembered something and suddenly got sad. "What's wrong?" I asked her softly, but at that moment, the door opened, making me jump. In walked an older man, mid-twenties with blond hair and gold eyes. It took me a few seconds longer than it should to realize he was part of her coven, but then I smelled something, something…good. "What is that?" I asked, sniffing a couple more times. Rose cocked her head while the man raised his eyebrow at me as he came into room, holding a bag that had smaller bags of red liquid in it.

Blood.

I couldn't help but lick my lips at the sight and smell of it, despite it being what it was. I guess whatever the baby wanted really did effect the mother, but so soon? Regardless, it smelled appetizing.

The man walked slowly to the two of us, holding up his hands for Rose, I guess because where I was here, from what I've observed before with vampires. Rose nodded her head at him and he stuck out his free hand to me, which I took and shook. "I'm Carlisle, leader of the Cullen coven." I smiled at him, but something about the last name had that smile only part-way upturned, which the two of them noticed, of course, but didn't say anything.

"Bella Swan," I said, introducing myself, noticing that they, again, shared a look. I was starting to get a little bit frustrated, now. "What's going on?"

I saw their lips moving, but they were speaking too fast and low for me to be able to hear. Okay, now I was getting pissed! And being pregnant and hormonal wasn't helping matters, much. "What are you hiding?" I was very used to being on my own, so if someone ever tried to deny telling me the truth, it always hit me hard.

I guess they noticed this and quickly apologized. Rose ran her hands through my hair, weighing how she should speak when she finally just blurted out, "We have someone who needs to see you. Someone you know."

It was my turn to raise my eyebrow. Who would they know that I would need to see that I would know? I was very confused and nervous, wondering if it was another gold-eyed vampire like the one who got me pregnant. However, I was not expecting it to be who it actually was.

Walking through the door in front of a burly man stood a small girl. She looked ten, though I knew, instinctively, that she was older than that. Her mahogany hair fell down her back and, though her clothes looked nice, she was covered in dirt, which is how I always remembered her. The only thing out of place was her lack of blush and bright crimson eyes.

I couldn't help but gasp as tears came to my eyes.

"Bella," she squeaked in a tiny voice, afraid of how I'd react, I guess. But I held my arms out, and she was soon in them. I couldn't speak, I was crying so much. But they were tears of joy, because it seemed that, even though I was going through hell, everything was starting to come together, albeit in an odd manner.

"Audi," I finally said, choking her name out through my tears. Audi. The nickname I had for my little sister, who I hadn't seen since she was five, and she was now in my arms. She was a vampire, and we'd never be apart, again. We'd have eternity together, all of us, my sister, my mate and the rest of the family. Forever together…I hope.

As long as I was able to live through what was happening to me. I doubt any human had ever been pregnant by a vampire because of lack of control, so I might be the first. Either way, I had to stay strong. I couldn't leave everyone now that things were finally right. I figured with the size of my bump that I had only two weeks left.

I could do it. I hope.
