A/N: This is just a short, in-between, get-that-word-count-up chapter

A/N: This is just a short, in-between, get-that-word-count-up chapter. This was basically what my dream was about before I started writing this story.

Edward's POV:

I was giving Bella a ride home after school. To be honest, I was more driving to Seattle and back so that Bella and I could have time to talk.

"Bella, are you ok?" I asked her. It had been three months since the men raped her.

"Yes, of course, why do you ask?" she asked, flustered.

"Are you sure?"

Bella flushed. She knew that I knew what time of month it was. She knew that I knew she had missed her mark. Twice.

"Well..." Bella looked up at me. Tears were brimming over the edge of her eyes. A million fractions of light caught in her tears that I could see better then any human. "I... I think I'm..." Bella looked away and shook her head. Tears were pouring down her face now. "Edward, this is so bad."

Charlie still didn't know about the incident. Bella didn't want to tell him because she was scared.

I pulled over on the side of the road so that I could properly comfort her.

"Bella, everything will be fine." I held her close. I could feel a ghost of what I could only assume was a baby-bump.

"How?" she sobbed. "How will everything be ok? How can everything be ok?"

"I don't know," I admitted. Alice had stopped being able to see Bella's future was now dependant on the small form growing inside of her. "But it will. You'll see."

Bella just shook her head again.

"I didn't ask for this!" she yelled at nothing. "Why did they choose me?!"

I held Bella and murmured anything I thought could comfort her into her ear.

"I'll help you through it all," I promised her. "I'll never leave you."

Bella sniffled into a tissue that she had had in her backpack.

"Are you sure?" she asked. "You'll never leave me? No matter what?"

"No matter what," I swore solemnly.

And we both knew it was true.

A/N: Short, yes, but also the dream that I had which basically made this story. This, and chapter 1. And the ending, which I won't ruin. Please review!
