I am so sorry it's taken so long! I just got a review saying that it's been a year - I had no idea. Things have been pretty hectic. But here's the next chapter, I hope you guys like it!


CHAPTER EIGHT

END ALL, BE ALL


Bella felt her stomach and groaned, "Gotta pee."

Rosalie helped her stand up when there was a muffled ripping sound coming from Bella and she bent over, gasping, "Oh!"

She went limp in Rose's arms. "Bella!?" I shouted, coming to her side. A second later, Bella screamed. It was loud, shrill, terrifying. And accompanied with a sickening CRACK and gurgle as her eyes rolled to the back of her head. Her back bent backwards. Her spine was broken. Blood spilled out of her throat and onto the floor.

Her body was twitching painfully as I felt tears come to my eyes. She jerked around in Rose's arms like a fish out of water. As she convulsed, I hears sharp snaps from inside her. Rosalie whipped Bella's body into her arms as she and Edward shot up the stairs. Jacob picked me up and ran after them.

"Morphine!" Edward shouted to Rose.

"Alice – get Carlisle on the phone!" Rose shouted.

We were in the home-hospital room. Bella was still twitching on the bed. Rose pinned Bella down, ripping her clothes away.

I shouted hysterically, "What's happening!"

"He's suffocating!"

"The placenta must have detached!"

Bella shot up, arching her back, waking up painfully, "Get him OUT! He can't BREATHE! Do it NOW!" Her skin seemed purple in the light. The blood vessels in her eyes broke and the white was now blood red.

Alice came and shoved a blue tooth into Rose's ear. Rose hissed frantically into the piece.

"Hurry! The baby is killing her trying to get out! Get him OUT!" I shouted at them.

Rose came at Bella with a scalpel in her hand when Edward grabbed her wrist, "Let the morphine spread!"

"There's no time! He's dying!" Her hand came down on Bella's stomach, slicing into the skin, blood oozing out as Bella screamed. Rosalie lost focus and froze and I saw her eyes grow black. "Rose! NO!"

Jacob shot forward and grabbed her before she lunged. Alice shot inside the room and helped him cart her out. I ran to Bella's side, "What can I do?"

"Get him out! Get him out!" Bella was screaming.

"CPR?" Edward growled at me.

I nodded frantically, "Yes."

"Get her breathing! I've got to get him out before -"

Another CRACK sounded as Edward blanched in horror, "Her spine. It's completely severed."

I was pushing onto Bella's chest quickly and swiftly, "Get him out already! They're both dying Edward!"

I kept pushing and from the side of my vision I saw Edward bend down and bite into Bella's stomach. A sick twisted crunching sound reached my ears but I didn't dare look. I just kept pushing. "Come on Bella. You gotta stay alive. Please don't die."

Bella coughed violently. "Stay with me, Bella. You hear me? Stay alive!"

Her body suddenly stilled under me, her breathing picking up roughly. I realized that it was over. The baby was out. I looked over and saw Edward holding the baby up in a blanket, "Renesmee."

I bent down quickly and kissed Bella's head, "You have a girl."

Bella looked positively blown away, "Give her to me."

Edward laid Renesmee into Bella's arms. Bella looked tearful and so happy. Tears streamed down my face at the moment. But then she gasped in pain. I grabbed the baby from her arms quickly and saw a bite mark on Bella's chest. Renesmee had bitten her.

Bella's eyes rolled to the back of her head again. "Edward!"

Edward shot to her immediately, pumping her chest. "Edward you have to bite her!"

"I can't do everything at once! You have to do CPR!"

"I'm holding the baby!"

"Let me have her," Rose said quietly from the door. I gave her a weary look, seeing Jacob behind her. I'd rather give Renesmee to him. "I promise I'm fine." I slowly nodded and handed the baby over. Rose was quick to get out of the room.

I rushed over and started doing compressions, "Bite her now, Edward!"

Edward grabbed a syringe and thrust it into her chest, right at her heart, "My venom."

I kept pushing, tears streaming down my face and blurring my eyes. Bella wasn't moving. By the sound of the monitor, her heart went flat. "She's not here.."

I broke away, unable to do it anymore. But Edward wasn't stopping. He bit every juncture of her body. And then resumed pushing onto her chest. But she was unresponsive. She was gone.

I sprinted out of the room. Into the backyard.


THIRD PERSON POV

Callie collapsed into gut wrenching sobs onto the dirty floor. Jacob was so pained to see her that way. He rushed to her side and picked up her body. But she threw all her weight down. He got down on the ground with her and held her while she cried into his chest.

Seth and Leah rushed over. Leah looked sad to see Callie so torn up, knowing what it was like to lose someone you love. Seth's eyes watered, "She didn't make it."

Jacob looked up with bloodshot eyes and shook his head. Callie let out a bloodcurdling scream.

Elsewhere, the scream was heard. Embry's wolf-head shot up as he thought Callie... Bella's dead.

Then now we must kill it, Sam growled as he moved forward.

Callie had calmed down enough to wipe the tears away from her eyes, "I have to see the baby."

"Are you sure, Callie?" Jacob asked cautiously.

Callie nodded firmly, "I have to know that this wasn't all for nothing. That Bella died so her daughter could live." She stood swiftly and jogged over to find Rosalie and the baby. She found them in the same room Bella collapsed in, talking to the baby on a rocking sofa chair.

"Rosalie..." Callie announced herself.

Rosalie turned and stood with the baby. She gave Callie a sad look, "I'm so sorry, Callie. Despite what everyone thinks, I didn't want Bella to die."

Callie just nodded. She sniffed loudly and wiped away more tears. "Can I hold her please?" She asked desperately, her voice cracking at the end.

Rosalie nodded and gently handed Renesmee over to Callie. Callie cradled the baby in her arms and sighed softly, "Hi, Renesmee. I'm your auntie Callie. I'm going to take care of you. I promise. I won't let anyone hurt you. Ever."

Seth then rushed in, "Guys! Sam's pack is here! They're making their move now! Leah's out there phased. Alice and Jasper are with her. Carlisle, Esme and Emmett should be close."

Jacob turned to him and said, "Go."

But Seth wasn't listening. He was looking past Jacob. At the baby in Callie's arms. His eyes locked with hers and he felt his entire world shift around him. He would be anything for this girl. She was his reason for living. He'd die to protect her.

Callie's eyes widened, "Did he...?"

Jake groaned, "Yes." He looked down at Callie, "Stay in here with Renesmee. Seth'll guard you two. I'm going to fight."

Callie sighed and nodded, "I'm sorry it's come to this, Jacob."

Jacob sadly nodded and quickly kissed her lips before rushing out.

Seth came closer, his knees almost buckled. Callie looked at him cautiously, "It's okay, Seth."

They heard roars and Rosalie rushed out, shouting, "We're getting beat."

Suddenly Seth straightened up and marched out of the room. Callie sat in the chair Rose was in before and coddled the baby when she started fussing.

Seth ran out of the room and into the backyard where the wolves were fighting Jake-wolf and Leah-wolf and the Cullens. He shouted, "Stop!" and ran in front of the Cullens. "Stop now! It's over! If you kill her, you kill me!"

Edward froze at the realization, "Seth imprinted on Renesmee."

The wolves all froze and the Cullens were confused.

Edward looked straight at Sam, "The wolves can not harm an imprint. Or else the imprinted wolf will die. It's their absolute law. Can not be broken."

All the wolves sagged as Seth said, "He's right! I won't let you touch her!"

Sam tried to stand tall, but he seemed defeated. Slowly, all the wolves retreated. Except for a chocolate brown one. Embry. Suddenly, Jacob could hear Embry thinking Do you hear me now? Do you hear me now? Do you hear me... now?

Yes, Embry, we hear you Jacob thought with annoyance.

Missed ya Jake. How's Callie?

Come inside and see.

Jake then phased and went inside, Seth in tow. He smiled brightly when he saw Callie cooing at the little baby girl who smiled a gurgled back. He couldn't wait until he saw the same scene with their own baby.

Seth was positively in awe of the baby when he got down on his knees beside her. Callie looked at him with a guilty expression, "I'd let you hold her but... it's hard to let go of the only thing left of Bella..."

Seth looked like he really wanted to hold her but he understood Callie's reluctance and nodded.

Rosalie, Alice and Jasper came in. Jasper came over and gave Callie a kiss on the forehead, "I'm sorry, darling."

Callie let a tear fall from her cheek and just nodded with a weak smile. Jacob came to stand beside her and put his arm across her shoulders – offering some kind of comfort.

Emmett, Carlisle and Esme came in. Carlisle stood in front of Callie and asked, "Is the baby alright?"

Callie steadily nodded, not taking her eyes from Renesmee.

Then Edward came in and it was quiet. Silent. Callie stood quickly, not knowing how Edward would react to the baby. "Edward... do you want to hold her?"

Edward walked closer and almost everyone dispersed to let him through. Except Jacob stood by to protect Callie and Seth stood by to protect Renesmee. Edward looked fondly down at the baby in his sister-in-law's arms and looked ready to cry like a new father would, "Please."

Callie walked closer to him and slowly and gently pressed little Renesmee into his arms. Edward gazed down at his daughter in wonder, "My little Renesmee. Looks just like her."

"The perfect combination of her and you. Just like she wanted," Callie told him.

Edward leaned forward and kissed Callie's cheek, "Thank you."

Callie weakly shrugged, "I promised her that I'd take care of you and the baby. And I keep my promises."

Just then Embry walked in. Callie gasped when she saw him enter, "Embry."

Embry stood awkwardly in the room full of vampires and just looked at his best friend, "I'm so sorry Callie. About Bella. About the fight. About all of it."

Callie wiped her face – still streaming with tears – and walked over to him, practically running, and wrapped her arms around her best friend. Embry sighed out in relief and wrapped his arms around her back, tightly.

Callie started crying harder in Embry's arms. She hoped things would get better now that the fighting amongst the wolves was over.

She hoped.


Again, I'm sorry it took so long. Time just got away from me. I'll try to be faster with the next chapter if you review!
