My reaction wasn't what they had expected. I was giddy and happy and full of joy. I was going to have EDWARD'S baby!! I had the biggest grin possible. I was the happiest, most proud mother-to-be there could be!! I could picture the little boy with Edwards green eyes and my brown hair. It took me a minute to read their expressions. Edward was scared, terrified even. And Carlisle looked cautious and as if he were expecting a tantrum of some sort. I broke the silence by placing my hands over my stomach and asked "How far into the pregnancy am I?" Carlisle said " It hasn't been long enough to not be able to terminate it……" The words were as if someone had slapped me across the face "How can you---…….. What makes you wa---" my sentences were being cut off by the rush of tears that were building up in my throat " This is your baby Edward. Our baby!! And you want to kill it?! How can you say such a thing?!" The tears had already begun to overflow and now I couldn't stop them. Edward's hand wiped away a few tears and said "Its for your own good babe…."
I got really pissed now. How could killing OUR child be for my own good? I was having his baby and I couldn't be happier. He was overshadowing my joy. I wasn't going to let him do such a thing. I looked toward Carlisle and pointed him out of the room. He followed my command.
As soon as Edward and I were alone I looked toward him and said " You will not take this away from me. You stole two years of happiness from me. Two years of being together cherishing every moment we would have spent together. Now that I'm going to finally have a piece of you with me, you want to take it away? Why? Is your sole mission in life is to make me unhappy?" My words stung him. He was glaring at me. If he could, his faced would of completely drained. I just crossed my arms above my chest and asked "Well? Is it? Because it sure seems like it…." I sounded like obnoxious little girl but I wasn't holding back right now. He is being a real big prick and I'm furious for him even considering taking OUR baby's life.
He was still glaring at me when I was struck by wave of nausea. I ran of the bed and into the bathroom. I never noticed Edward following me so when I felt him hold my hair back I was taken by surprise. I kept pushing him back. I didn't want him to see me like this. After I had emptied the content in my stomach into the toilet bowl, I did my best to get the taste of vomit out of my mouth. He helped me get back into my bed and then he spoke "My sole mission in life is not to make you unhappy. It's the complete opposite. Its to keep you happy and SAFE. I would love to keep this baby as much if not more than you. Its apart of you and a fruit of our love for each other, (A/N: that was kind of corny but it seems appropriate. Just keep reading plz) but if keeping this baby means losing you then I won't risk it Bella. I can't imagine I world without you. I world where the reason for you not existing is because of my actions….." By the time he had finished speaking I was completely confused "Edward, how can having your baby hurt me? Why do you think that if I were to die it would be your fault?" He didn't have to answer me. I then remembered the reason for him leaving. He was already a father. A single father….. "Edward, what happened to….. Serena?" saying her name made me cringe. I don't know why it was just weird feeling. It reminded me of the reasons for Edward leaving and that was a moment in my life I don't like to recall. " How did she die?" I asked a more specific question. Edwards expression was one of reluctance. He looked as if he was in pain just at the reminder of it……..

She didn't have to wait for me to answer my question. I listened to the heartbeats of the two people I loved the most in this world as I waited for Bella to string the pieces together. Oh how I wanted to be able to hold this baby in my hands. I could picture her in my mind. I miniature Bella. She would have big, chocolate brown eyes and soft, pink, full lips. Her face would be framed with long, brown, wavy hair. Her skin would be flawless and ivory colored…..
But if Bella's life was endangered by giving birth to her then in no way was I going to let her do it.
My internal babble was interrupted by Bella's sudden question " Edward, what happened to Serena?" I saw her cringe at the sound of her name. I would never forgive myself for the permanent damage I have caused her. " How did she die?" I was suddenly taken back to the memory of meeting Serena's--- I mean my daughter.
** flashback**
I knocked on the front door lightly expecting for it to be opened by and elderly woman. I was taken by surprised when very attractive young lady opened the door. She was an exact replica of Serena. She had long sleek jet black hair which framed her face perfectly. She had plump red lips and icy blue eyes. "oh my god …. He did come…!" Even her voice was like Serena's…. " You remember my mother's name?" she seemed surprised. Wait did I just say that out loud? She then answered my question " No you didn't. could read people's minds……… just like you. I think its hereditary." She chuckled towards the end. "Would you like to come in?" I was still stunned by the similarities between her and Serena, so I couldn't come to form words. I just nodded and then she led the way into her house. I was even more surprised by what I saw in the living room. It was a portrait of Serena. It was painted in 1959. I would as for it was I who painted it.
" She loved you much you know? She never told but everybody knew so……" I was then surprised not to see Serena around. She should be 74 as for when I met her she was 24. She should still be alive. Where's Serena?" That made her snap her head towards me " She's dead. She died while giving birth….. To me….." For the first time since meeting Marybella (A/N: that's her name BTW) I heard her thoughts. I saw the gruesome death of her mother through her eyes (She might have been young but she had a more developed mind that ordinary newborns)……

MEMORY:
As I look up I see piercing icy blue eyes look down at me. She smiles back down to me. I immediately know who this is. She's my mother. She's so beautiful….. Wait why is she falling asleep? Wake up. Come on, wake up. Hey-- wait put me down.!! I want to stay with my mom! Why are you taking me aw-- OH MY GOD!! Why is she bleeding so much!? MOM!! Why are the covering her face with a blanket? Mommy please wake up!! don't let them take me away!! Please…….
END MEMORY

"Edward? How did she die?" He had been quite for the past 5 minutes.
He looked at me and said " she died giving birth to Marybella…."
I was confused. " Wait, Marbella is your daughter, right?" he nodded. Again I put the pieces together. Marybella was Edward's daughter making her half vampire. If Serena died giving birth to a half vampire child, would I die as well?……
