SydneyPOV
Rosalie left me alone after that. In a way, I was happy. I couldn't stand her constantly trying to guilt me into keeping the baby. Alice still came and so did Bella. The boys visited me, too. But, I was most happy when I saw Seth come in.
"Hey," I smiled softly. "Where have you been?"
"Your parents said you needed to rest..." He shrugged.
"Did you think I was going into hibernation?" I joked. "Come here, sit with me."
He walked over to my bed and sat next to me. My stomach had gotten larger, and it was obvious that he noticed.
"Eyes up here." I said gently. "I don't wanna think about that."
"I understand." He nodded. He moved in closer and made himself comfortable as he lounged next to me.
"I'm scared, Seth." I told him. "I don't know if I'm gonna be able to be as strong as Bella was. The fact that she made it through all that had to have been some freak accident. And I don't really want to end up a vampire for the rest of my life, to be honest."
"You don't have to go through with this if you don't want to." He mentioned.
"Yeah." I sighed. "But, I'm scared that if I do that, I'll feel too guilty to ever have another baby if I do decide I want one."
He nodded his head as he thought about what I was saying. He pulled me gently into a hug and I rested my head on his chest.
"I don't really know what to tell you, Syd." He said, honestly. "But whatever you decide, I'll have your back. "
I didn't say anything. Neither of us did. We just sat there for a few minutes, enjoying the calm. I took in his warmth and he took my hand as the creature inside of me continued to move around, causing me immense pain. I buried my face in his chest and tried to breathe. I gritted my teeth and squeezed his hand harder.
"Are you okay?" He asked, trying to stay calm. "Do you need me to get your dad?"
"I don't know." I breathed. "It's just... laying right...into my hip."
"The broken one?"
I nodded my head, unable to say anything.
"Carlisle!" He called, not leaving his place next to me.
My father came in almost instantly.
"What's happening?" He asked.
"She says that the... fetus is laying on her broken hip."
Dad started pushing on my stomach, I guess trying to move the fetus off of my hip. All I knew is that it really hurt. I felt it kick back, hard.
"Stop!" I cried.
And he did. The fetus was no longer on my hip, but continued to move around. It still hurt, but less than before. I laid my head back against a pillow and tried to relax.
"Better?" Dad asked.
I nodded weakly.
"Good." He sighed. "How have you been feeling?"
"Okay." I said.
He nodded. "So far, I'm estimating that it'll be a few weeks until you deliver... should you decide to go through with it."
"Okay." I nodded.
"Do you know yet?"
"No."
"Well, just let me know whenever you do."
"Okay."
He started to walk out but stopped.
"Oh, and Seth?"
"Yes?" He looked up.
"Esme and I were talking and we decided that if there's something you want to tell Sydney, you can." My dad smiled a small smile and with that he left.
"What was that?" I asked slowly. "What is he talking about?"
"Sydney..." He started. " I've been wanting to tell you this for a while."
"And?" I asked, impatiently.
"When I met you for the first time, I felt something. Something special." He continued. I could tell that he was getting serious in his tone. "I imprinted on you."
I sat there in shock for a moment.
"What?" I managed. "I -I -I don't know how I feel about this."
"What do you mean?" He asked. "Surely you had to have had some idea."
"No, not really." I said. "I mean, looking back maybe. But, this is just a lot. Is this going to change things? Like, how does this affect us?"
"It doesn't." He said quickly. "This doesn't change anything. This is just an explanation. You said before, you like being around me and you didn't know why. This is why."
"So nothing changes?"
"Nothing. It's all about what you want and what's best for you."
"Thank God." I sighed. "I don't need anymore changes."
"I know." He smiled. He gave me a hug and I curled up into his chest and started to fall asleep.
