Disclaimer: I don't own Twilight, or New Moon. I've just run out of things that seem clever to me to say up here.
How could this have happened? Both Edward and I are undead; two undead creatures can not create a living mass. How come there was no heartbeat? How would Cielo react, he'd only been a vampire for a matter of years and couldn't completely control his blood lust. Would the child be healthy? As these questions floated through my mind I heard a faint murmur.
"What did you do to her?" a female voice yelled. I had no idea what was going on. I remembered Carlisle talking about me being pregnant. I could hear Kenda and Claiborne talking to Carlisle, but I could make out which of my sisters was speaking. I tried to form the words to ask, but the blackness that surrounded my started shrinking. I was being crushed by darkness, leaving me powerless. I hated this feeling, the helplessness.
"Miss, you must calm down. No matter what happens we need to take care of Bella. At this point the baby needs to be secure, and having its mother in a coma-like state cannot be helping anything." I heard the pleading male voice of Carlisle Cullen reply.
"First things first, we need to get her to a comfortable and familiar setting. I would like to say that our house is the most familiar setting, so we should take her back home." Claiborne interjected. I focused on what Claiborne was saying, knowing that she was correct, I was more likely to defeat the darkness if I knew where I was. For now I was going to wait in the darkness, and hope for the best, that I could go back home to figure out what was going on.
Before I knew what was going on I felt invisible wind whip past my body. Somebody was running holding me, I couldn't see anything, and the wind almost didn't exist. All that I knew was that Kenda and Claiborne were trying to help me and that the cold blackness surrounding me was keeping me from having an emotional breakdown and levitating the closest thing near me and dropping it on myself.
What was I going to do? If I really was pregnant would I keep the child? I knew adoption was out; a vampire child probably would be a little bit of a shock. I thought about the child and what it would look like. Every once and a while I thought about my family and how this would affect them. I even thought about Edward, but only for a little. As much as I conditioned myself to hate him for the past 17 years it was nice to see him again. I would never trust him, but the love was definitely still there, otherwise I wouldn't be where I was now.
Mostly I thought about the child, and what would become of it. I wondered what it would look like, and how it would act. I don't know how much time I spent in the coma-like state. All that I knew was that the only change in the darkness would be a restriction if I tried to fight it. I eventually stopped fighting it and just thought it was easier. It was almost relaxing. I really had nothing to worry about. As long as I stayed in the darkness nothing could truly hurt me.
I would often hear my family speaking, usually around me and how my body had changed and what was happening to me. Every so often I would even hear Carlisle come to check on my progress as well as the babies. I floated for a long time unknowing. I had no sense of time, only a sense of unnatural peace.
The moment I felt my peace breaking was when I hear a new voice. This voice was as far away as any of my families, but this memory brought back painful memories. A whisper in my ear caused my created peace to disappear. I could barely hear it, but it made me fight harder then I had ever tried before.
I gasped and sat straight up on my bed. I had been under my navy blue blanket. I stood up and looked down. Apparently I was about three months along. My stomach projected only a little farther then normal, but it was obvious enough to me because vampires can't gain weight. I was wearing an old shirt, with a pair of short gym shorts from high school. I was dressed for comfort, and not beauty. I heard a growl clap like thunder from the top floor and suddenly remembered why I was up.
I flew through the air to get upstairs faster as I heard various things in the house being thrown around and breaking against something solid. As I felt a quick burst of heat I moved faster. I stopped with anger flowing through my veins as I saw the scene before me. I saw Emmett, Alice, and Jasper off to my left, my family on the right and Edward in the middle. I vaguely noticed Jasper fall and start writhing on the ground as he felt my anger, and pain.
Edwards's siblings were being surrounded by a wall of fire so they couldn't escape. Edward was being attacked by Kenda and Cielo while Claiborne held him down with a massive growth of plants. I stayed in the air and let out a cold laugh that scared even me. I saw everyone look at me oblivious that I had just woken up. I had caught the gist of the argument. Apparently Edward found where I was through Carlisle's mind, but could find nothing else, he didn't know about the baby yet.
"Well Edward, it's nice to see that you don't care about the privacy of your families mind. I'm so glad that you can't read my mind." He just stared at me in confusion. I looked at my family. "Please stop holding back Edward, Emmett, Alice and Jasper. My emotional turmoil is putting Jasper in physical pain, and I need to be in contact to set up a better barrier."
The flames, water, plants, and lightning all stopped. I brought Jasper over to me, and put a hand over his forehead, and set up a wall to catch my emotions. Jasper sat up and looked at me in horror. He asked, "How are you dealing with that? That's more emotional pain then I've felt since Edward left you!" Edward looked at me in shock, as well as having both Alice and Emmett gasp.
Alice ran over and pulled me to the ground embraced me in the biggest and most painful hug that I had ever had. Emmett, who was right behind her, picked both of us up in a hug. It was obvious that they were happy to see me, and unhappy for the amount of emotional turmoil I was in. "Bella, why are you in so much pain?" Oddly enough it was Emmett who voiced this question.
"You want to know why I'm in pain. Let me explain this very simply. I lost the people I had grown to love as a family, twice, and then both of my parents died, Charlie killed himself after finding out about the car crash that I faked. He thought that it was all his fault because he kicked me out of the only safe place that I had. Renee died in a big plane crash along with Phil, going to my funeral. I had no living family. The Elementars took me in because I was falling apart. Victoria had just killed me! I then spent 17 years trying to build a wall between me and all of the shit you guys pushed on me. Then this bastard," I said while motioning to Edward, "comes back and not only did the feelings of worthlessness return, but I found out that I'm still in love with him." By the end of the rant my hair was defying gravity and the couch was compressed into the size of a dictionary.
Everybody in the room was shocked into silence. I had only told Claiborne about my past, and not even that much. Kenda and Claiborne were dryly sobbing onto their boyfriend, and husbands shoulders, as well as Alice was sobbing onto Jasper's shoulder. The Cullen men had pained expressions and Aidan and Cielo looked like they were about to blow up.
Cielo glared at the Cullen. "This is all your fault. How could you just leave her behind? She cared for you and you were her family and to abandon her like that is horrible." He yelled this in his slightly Italian accent while slowly moving to the Cullens with lightning making a web-like pattern from his fingers. Aidan started moving towards the Cullens as well, while Emmett had crouched into a fighting position. Jasper was sending out calming waves, trying to stop the fight that was sure to start.
"Stop it!" I yelled, and again the entire room looked at me. "I can't have all of you fighting over me, the atmosphere is killing my nerves, and that can't be good for either of us. Now if you don't mind we're leaving." I landed back on the ground and daintily ran to my room, while using my telekinetic forces to pack me a bag. I picked up the bag and ran back upstairs and past the two surprised groups. I jumped into my car and left, not knowing when I would return.
I pushed my car to its top speed, and as I was pulling out of the driveway with my hair streaming behind me I heard Alice ask, "Wait? We?"
Authors Note: I'm sorry I just had to put in a cliffie here. It just seems to fit so well. At this point I need to figure out what I'm going to do with the rest of the story, where I want it to go. The next couple of chapters will not be in Bellas POV. If you have any ideas about how to continue this story it would be very helpful.
I have a basic idea of what I might like to happen, but I'm not sure If I'm going to continue it.
Just so that you know I had to redo this fight scene over so many times because it wasn't working out the way that I wanted it to.
