Chapter 9- Condition

Not much to say except thanks to the people who reviewed. I really appreciate it! Here is chapter 9!

After all introductions were out of the way and everyone was on the same page, Huilen invited us to visit her house. Carlisle politely declined but complied when Huilen responded that they only had to stop by for a minute to meet her nephew. Throughout all of this I had never loosened my tight grip on Edward and he had been holding me as tightly as possible without breaking my bones. We were both afraid of losing each other again and separation for us would be painful. I had no doubts about our relationship and my self-worth anymore so I knew he felt the same way.

"Okay then follow me" She nodded.

"Do you want to use our old means of transport" Edward smiled his crooked smile at me.

"How could I deny such a ride" I teased. He then swung me over his back in a blindly fast motion making it seem like I had been clinging to his back all along. I put my arms around his neck to assure my personal safety and he took them in his hands so that he could be physically holding some part of me, then the world was a blur. I wondered how it would be for a vampire, how they could stay perfectly focused and never come close to hitting a tree.

"You don't know how grateful I am. The mere thought of having to share an existence with Tanya and not knowing of your fate in the end, of not even being able to see your face or smell your scent would have been unbearable for me" Edward murmured.

"It wouldn't have been a picnic for me either" I joked.

"I just never thought that she would stoop that low. Her loneliness must have led to her insanity" He frowned.

"Yeah….I" I gasped, my head flipping back from my pain, a large cracking sound which sounded like someone cracking their knuckles went as quickly as it came except I knew it was no one's knuckles who were making the terrifying sound. It had come from my body and I felt intense pain in my ribcage from the spot of which the sound was heard. They all stopped running immediately at the sound of the crack. Edward helped me delicately off his back and laid me on the still grass, searching my body for any signs of external injuries.

"Tell me; tell me, where does it hurt? What can I do?" He asked frantically.

"I'm fine, I just…"I winced, unable to finish the sentence when the pain grew stronger.

"It's the monster which is growing inside you, we need to dispose of it immediately" Edward muttered, his face hard.

"No, it's not his or hers fault" I protested trying to ignore the pain.

"You have conceived a child with Edward" Huilen breathed. Her expression surprised me as it was wondrous and amazed rather than disgusted and disapproving.

"Yes and Edward believes that he or she is a monster" I frowned.

"It's broken what I suspect is part of your ribcage. I am not going to condone such monstrous behaviour from this "child". I am also not going to stand by and watch it kill you. I can't lose you again" He whispered the last part.

"Breaking of bones, it's all the same" Huilen muttered absently.

"What is it Huilen? What do you know?" I gasped.

"You definitely need to come to my house now. Edward you need to carry Bella but be extremely careful so she doesn't have to endure much pain" Huilen instructed.

"What is…." Edward started.

"There's no time. I'll explain when we arrive. It's probably better that way anyway" Huilen responded quickly. Edward lifted me into his arms effortlessly and then the blur surrounded me once more.

My ribcage hurt like hell but mercifully the run to Huilen's house was short. I think Edward's desperation to end my pain compelled him to run much faster than he was usually capable as the others were miles behind. The house was simple but beautiful. Obviously designed by Huilen or her nephew as no weak human could accomplish such a feat. My attention was drawn away from the house as I took in the boy standing in front of the door, his expression disapproving. At first I thought he was human because of his rich dark skin tone which was impossible for a vampire to possess and his neither topaz nor red eyes, they were an impossible brown. Then I became confused as he ran towards us with a speed only a vampire could have. He was neither human nor vampire it seemed.

"Huilen, why have you brought so many vampires to our home. I thought you wanted to keep my existence a secret" the boy complained.

"This is different Nauhel" She snapped.

"How so" He raised an eyebrow.

"She is carrying one of your kind" Huilen explained. Huh? His kind?

"What are you?" I asked in shock.

"A vampire hybrid. My mother was human and my father was a vampire" His expression turned to one of loathing when he mentioned his father.

"So your saying that Bella is carrying a hybrid baby which will grow to become like you" Edward asked Nauhel incredulously.

"Pretty much but what I can't comprehend is how you could do that to her. My mother died because of my conception and you have just sacrificed another innocent woman who probably knows nothing for your own personal entertainment. I seriously don't know the motives of you incubi besides the pleasures others have reported" Nauhel shook his head sadly.

"He is not an incubi and he loves me. If he was just using me so he could seduce me then he would have done so two years ago" I seethed. I hated how people doubted our relationship and thought badly of Edward.

"Woah slow down. Don't judge me because I didn't know the whole story" Nahuel said hastily.

"I have a feeling that I am going to be doing this a lot" I grumbled to Edward.

'You're not the only one" Edward laughed but his face was grave.

"Well we better get started then"

…..

"So you're saying that Edward and the others want to kill the child while Rosalie and Bella are dead set against it" Nahuel stated, the definition of shock. Yeah I know, our tragic love story was a lot to take in and had events worthy of a novel. Hmmm our story would make a great novel and I bet it would sell millions of copies. I would name it Twilight because Edward said that it was his favourite part of the day for the average vampire because they didn't have to hide. It has a nice ring to it but I bet there are some vampire laws against letting the entire world know about the true nature of vampires. I so didn't need my head cut off right now!

"Well now my resolve is wavering. Now that I see that this "child" may be civilised when it's born, I now see it as more of a person than I did before" Edward confessed. "But Bella's safety is more important and that's what's holding me back"

"With the right precautions, I bet we can deliver the baby safely. Nahuel and Huilen can tell us all they know and we will be prepared" I responded confidently.

"There is no way that she can survive this while she is still human" Huilen frowned.

"You could always change me into a vampire, vampire venom can work miracles" I stated hopefully.

"Not always" Edward disagreed.

"Son it's the most suitable option. She wants it, you know that you want it. You should go for it" Carlisle encouraged.

"I refuse to take away her soul. If there is one good thing I can atone for, for being such a despicable creature then it would be saving her soul" Edward replied stubbornly.

"Without you there is no need plus you have a soul. There is no way you can't" I argued.

"No" He repeated.

"Edward if you don't than I will do it myself" Alice interceded.

"Stay out of this Alice" He snarled.

"There is no stopping me. I am trying to see around the blur in my visions and all I have seen is Bella's death if you don't change her. I can't see the outcome if you kill the baby" Alice replied moodily. Conflict ranged clear on his face and I could see he was battling with what he thought was right and what he needed. After five more seconds of deliberation he spoke.

"Okay guys, can I have two seconds alone with Bella and I mean alone Emmett" Edward's expression became hostile as he looked at Emmett.

"Yeah, yeah. It not like I was planning to eavesdrop or anything. Nah nothing like that" He grinned.

"I mean it Emmett"

"Fine, come on guys lets go inside" He sulked. They then all walked into Huilen and Nauhel's house, their faces anxious but their posture calm.

"Okay so I was thinking about your requests" He paused.

"You mean wanting to keep our child alive and my vampire conversion" I checked.

"Yes. But I have one condition if you want to be a vampire. You would only be able to have the baby if you were turned into a vampire afterwards so I guess it's part of the deal too"

"How nice. I will tell our child when it's older that he or she were born because of a compromise" I said sarcastically.

"Do you want to hear the condition or not" He pressed.

"Go on then" I urged back.

"My one condition is for you to marry me" He whispered.

Okay so this chapter was pretty short in my opinion but I wanted to leave a cliffhanger. Will she say yes or no? Since this story is kinda a mix of New Moon and Breaking Dawn you should have no idea of the outcome of this story. (at least I hope you don't) Please review because it makes my day and stay tuned for the next chapter.
