Prue's Point of View
Edward and Bella arrived almost two days after the phone call from Bella; Rosalie, Alice, and I were at the airport along with Mom, Dad, Jasper, and Emmett. When Bella walked into our view she struggled free of Edward's arms and ran towards Rose, Alice, and me in tears. She went straight to Rose and Rose wrapped her arms around her tightly while she glared over Bella's shoulder at Edward. Edward looked completely shocked, and I couldn't blame him. Rose and Bella were sisters, but not nearly as close of sisters as Bella and Alice were. Alice look sort of hurt that she didn't run to her, but she hid it well, just smiling at Bella and rubbing her back. I settled for holding Bella's hand and telling her everything would be alright, she would be okay, and so would the baby.
I took a peek into Edward's mind, I was horribly curious. What on EARTH is going on here?! Rosalie is guarding her like I am the enemy here! Oh, hi Prue… or is it Abby now? Damn he caught me. Yeah its Abby now… sorry I was curious… I apologized still holding onto Bella's hand. We were sort of making a scene I noticed, the security guards were looking from us girls to Edward, who stood there looking part furious part confused and part heartbroken. It's alright… mind explaining to me whats going on? He asked me through our now connected minds. Bella had decided to take this moment to let go of Rose halfway and take her hand out of mine and wrap that arm around me. "Shhh Bella don't worry, it will be alright. C'mon, lets get home." I whispered to her. On the way home Edward. I will explain while we are driving home. I told him and began to help Rose lead a crying Bella out of the airport and to the cars.
He didn't say anything back to me, he just carried the luggage and started talking to Carlisle about the fetus. Ugh. I grimanced when I heard that. He couldn't just call it a baby, he had to get all technical and have a sour tone. Yeah, like that was really going to help Bella out. We got Bella settled into my car, with her in between Rose and myself, I was the one driving. Edward was riding with Jasper and Emmett, and Carlisle was riding with Esme and Alice. Okay Abby explain to me what the hell is going on here. What's wrong with my Bella? Edward asked me in a near snarl. His Volvo was right behind my truck. Good thing if he got to mad and decided to ram my truck- which wasn't likely- my truck would completely kill his car.
Bella called Rose before you guys left and asked for her help. Rose, Alice, and myself have decided to help her out by giving her what she wants. Edward, she isn't afraid of the baby, she is afraid of you. She is afraid that you want to hurt the baby. Im sorry but we just aren't going to let that happen. I told him. I could hear him in his car snarling profanities left and right. For once I was glad Bella was just a human. If she found out Edward had this kind of temper…. My oh my. I didn't speak to Edward throughout the rest of the drive back home; he was furious at us, and we all knew it. For some reason I didn't really care, and I knew Rose didn't either.

Bella of course was pretty big in the stomach area by this point. She was getting weaker and weaker by the day, and it broke my heart to see it. But Bella was happy, she was getting things her way, she was taking care of her baby, her little nudger as she called him. Yes, she thought the baby was a boy, but no one could be sure.
Then, on one of Bella's good days, we were all greeted with a very unwelcome surprise. Jacob, the werewolf, decided he was going to show up to see if Bella was still human or not. No, actually, he showed up to kill us all. I met him at the wedding, but it was brief. I was standing next to Edward when Jacob began to loose control of himself and stood between him and Edward. I may be a girl but that mongrel really didn't want to mess with me. I was way more skilled than I knew he could ever be. I knew just way too many tricks.
He was a different character all of his own though, I had never met anyone like him. He disbanded from his pack, made his own to protect us when Sam's pack wanted to kill Bella because of the baby. Jacob was the rightful Alpha anyways, Sam's authority was simply assumed. Leah and Seth had joined an unwilling Jacob in order to protect us all. It was a great sacrifice on their parts, and I was thankful for them, even though I didn't care too much for the way Jacob thought about Bella.
Today was one of Bella's normal days. Not good, not bad, just normal. So far anyways. We found out that the baby craves blood. Score number too for the mutt. "Did you say something?" Edward asked Bella in a puzzled tone. We all snapped our attention to him. His hearing was just fine, why would he ask something like that? "Me? I didn't say anything." She said to him. He leaned over her, something I wasn't too comfortable with. Maybe this was some sort of new trick of his to get Bella away from Rose, Alice, and me. I stood up and hovered over them, and I felt Jacob glaring at my back, considering I was blocking his view. "What are you thinking about right now?" he asked her in a serious voice. "Nothing… What's going on?" She asked creasing her eyebrows together. "Yes Edward, whats going on?" Rosalie almost snarled.
He just sent her a death glare then continued. "What were you thinking about a minute ago?" he asked. "Just… Esme's Island… and… Feathers." She admitted with a deep red blush. I smiled slightly, she told me about that one day. "Say something else." He whispered, almost pleaded with her. "Like what? Edward whats going on?" Bella nearly demanded. "The f- it…. The baby…. Likes the sound of your voice." He told her. "HOLY CROW YOU CAN HEAR HIM!" Bella shouted. I flinched slightly, but started leaning in towards Bella. Maybe I could hear the baby too. "You startled him…" I whispered to Bella after she flinched. "Sorry baby…" Bella cooed and patted her belly. Edward and I were looking at each other in complete awe. "He's happy." Edward whispered. "Of course you are pretty baby, of course you are." She cooed again, and smiled. I smiled at her and Edward, they were looking at eachother and marveling this new devolpement like two parents should. Edward, I was positive, was no longer a threat to the baby.
"How could you not be, all safe and warm and loved? I love you so much, little EJ, of course your happy." She said to her belly with tears streaming down her face. "What did you call him?" Edward asked curiously. "I sort of named him. I didn't think you would want…. Well you know." She said with a blush. "EJ?" he asked, really curious now. "Your father's name was Edward too." She said kind of pulling her chin up smugly, like it was the most obvious answer in the world. "Yes it was. What-? Hmmm…" he said. "What?" she asked. "He likes my voice too." "Of course he does, who in their right minds wouldn't?" she countered. I smiled, only she would say something like that. "Do you have a backup plan?" Rose asked suddenly. "What if he is a she?" I asked before Rosalie could, making us sound more like sisters, finishing each other's sentences. We have been doing that a lot lately.
"I kicked a few things around. Playing with Renee and Esme. I was thinking Renesmee. Too weird?" she told us. "No I like it." Rose reassured her. "Me too." I said and kneeled next to Edward, close to Bella's head, while Rosalie leaned over the couch over Bella's head. "Its beautiful, and one of a kind, so that fits." Rosalie said with a smile.
It was quiet for a while then, until Edward gasped. "What?" Bella asked anxiously. "He loves you. He absolutely adores you." He whispered with a wide smile. Then, suddenly, Jake jumped up. We all looked over to him, he looked horrible. His face was scruntched up like he was in the worst pain imaginable, he glared at Edward, like he was about ready to kill him. Like Edward was the enemy all over again, like he was going to go ahead and just kill him. "Ahh…" Edward said, sounding like he was chocking on something. Then Edward got up, went to a desk drawer, then snatched something out of it. "Go Jacob, get away from here!" Edward say. He didn't say it mean or cruel in anyway, he said it like he was helping Jacob in some way. Then, before any of us could ask, Jake was gone.
"Why… what… why did he just… what happened Edward?" Bella whispered, trying to find the right words. "He just… snapped. Don't worry, im sure he will be fine." Edward said to her resuming his position on the floor next to me.
What happened a few minuets after that, none of us were prepared for.
