Okay I am soo sorry that I didn't update in a while! I feel so bad about it!! I was just so busy with my play and homewrk, plus I got grounded from my computer, so I had to sneak on at night or when my parents weren't home to work on my chapters plus I was reading some other fics, and then editing takes a while, plus it's really annoying to edit. I hope you like this chapter though, took me a while to write!

Chapter 7
I drove to the hospital, slowly, the winter slowly pilling up. I tried to stay attentive to the road but god! It was impossible, my mind was racing to Edward, and he occupied my thoughts constantly never giving me a chance to think of something else. I turned a corner almost skidding off into a tree. Of course he was all I wanted to think of.
Was I obsessed? Sadly the answer was yes. Yes I was obsessed with him. I let out a sad breath. Why could I never get him off my mind? Because you like him. A voice in the back of my mind said. I didn't pay attention to it though.
I almost jumped when I arrived at the entrance. The entrance that I almost missed, because I was thinking about Edward. The Edward that would not leave my mind alone! My face fell, I was to aware of Edward he was the one thing on my mind constantly, and even if I don't want to admit it, I was falling for him, and falling hard.
I was in the waiting area with nothing to do but wait for my appointment to start. I let my mind wander to the one person who had ever been my friend, I missed her, but there was defiantly no way we could ever be friends again. My lips trembled, the tears threatening to spill over. I laughed bitterly. I was crying so often, I was an idiot, who nothing better to do than cry tears, tears that should have been gone for now.
I sighed composing my face. I was not going to cry. Well not now. "Isabella Swan. Dr Cullen is ready to see you." I heard a nurse say, I walked up to her and she motioned for me to follow her. We passed the clean hospital rooms that brought back many memories. I had practically grown up in a hospital. We stopped in front of room 198.
The nurse went in, probably to tell Dr, Cullen that I was here, so I waited outside the door. "Please come in" I heard a velvet voice call.
Just as I was about to walk in, Edward rushed passed me, but before he was gone we made eye contact. I was embarrassed as if I did something wrong, but really I wasn't sure about that.
Edward looked at me his brows furrowed, trying to figure something out, and he had the same look as Alice had, when she took him out of class, as if he were suspicious of something. Edward opened his mouth as if to say something, I listened, but he closed his mouth, in the corner of eye's I saw Edwards hand move up, as if to reach for my face. My heart, thumped quickly. Then he dropped his hand, still staring into my eyes. I wanted to reach up and touch his face, be close to him. He started at me for another second.
Suddenly Edward looked confused unsure. His eye's seemed to get more intense, my knees felt very weak, I felt like I would just drop any second. I knew Edward was fighting that war again the one in his head. His stare looked pained.
He quickly rushed away, leaving me confused and breathless. What had happened? I felt something, something unexplainable. I also felt very, very light headed. I blinked a couple times letting my mind focus. I remembered that I was in a hospital.
I went into room 198. The whole time my mind occupied with thoughts of my encounter with Edward.
Driving home was a blur. The Snow was in the way, and my stomach was killing me. I felt a huge pain, every 10 minutes or so. Then that pain grew into something more intense. I felt water rush out from underneath me. I heaved out a painfully surprised gasp.
I cried out in pain. "Fuck!" The pain was killing me. I screeched my car to a stop. I needed a hospital. Then I felt another pain shoot through my stomach. I leaned back into my seat. Holding the sides hard my teeth crunching against each other.
I let a loud screech. Breathing hard and deep.
I knew by now that I was in labor and that the contractions were coming faster, and each time more painfully. I heard the cars behind me honking there horns. Another contraction hit. I screamed. As I quickly as I could I rolled down my window. "Please-" I gasped loudly, I cried in pain as the next contraction came more painfully than the others. I saw someone walk up to my car. I yelled at them in pain to hurry up. This person was a stranger to me. By now I was crying hard from the sharpness of the contractions.
I pointed down t my stomach, barely, but the man noticed and quickly took out his phone and called 911.
"Shit!" I yelled as another came.
My breathing was loud, hard, and angry.
"M'am don't worry, the paramedics are coming."
"I don't fucking need paramedics, when the hospital is a few blocks away you ass hole! I need a doct- crap!"
I yelled as another painful contraction hit me, I was crying my face srunched up in pain. I clutched my stomach, tears blurring my vision, and my screams, nonstop now. Then I felt it, the instinct that told me to push. I pushed.
A woman, probably the mans wife came up to me. I grabbed her hand as she reached for mine I squeezed it. I was having my baby, in my car, in the middle of a blizzard, no doctor, and my jeans still on my body. I saw a Familiar face in the crowd. Carlisle. He was panicked rushing to my car. Edward behind him, in a tow, the same expression. Carlisle, practically broke down my door. "Edward move her to the back of the ambulance." Carlisle said breathlessly. I felt something cold and hard pick me up.
I howled at the pain that another contractions gave off. I was holding something hard, with all my strength, I was vaguely aware of Edward putting me on something soft "Get her pants of, the baby's on the way." I felt my pants slide of quickly.
I heard instructions being called, while I yelled at them to hurry up, swearing non stop from the immense pain I was getting. "Bella! Bella, calm down breath deep breaths!" I heard a velvet voice say to me.
Who ever sad it was worried. I breathed with the man, who was holding my hand. His velvet voice telling me to calm down, "Bella I need you to push, very hard got it? When I count to three push hard."
"1, 2-"
I felt another instinct telling me to push "THREE!" I pushed hard.
I felt myself cry out. I pulled my head back, pushing and yowling.
"Take deep breathes Bella, it's alright." I took a couple f breaths in.
"Bella get ready to push again in a second I see the head."
"One two, THREE!" I pushed so hard. I screamed out loudly my throat hurting me, I didn't even feel the tears anymore they were just there.
"Bella one more push, and I will be able to get this baby out ready…"
But this time Carlisle wasn't able to count to three, I just pushed I needed this over with.
"AHHH!" I yelled as I felt the head come out.
The rest was a mess, there was a lot of yelling, I heard sirens ring, and I felt the ambulance, move. Then I heard the piercing scream of a baby. I let out a weak smile, breathing fiercely.
"Edward cut the ambilicle cord." I heard Carlisle say. Everything was starting to get real fuzzy.
"Bella, you have just given birth to a beautiful baby girl." I smiled weakly. My arms became heavier as someone placed my baby in my arms. She was so beautiful, her face was red and you could see he finest trace of my brown hair.
"Welcome to the world… Elizabeth." I said with a small whisper. I felt Lizzie being taken from me. I let them, they probably had to clean her up. My eye's drooped, and I fell asleep with a smile on my face.
It seemed like seconds passed, but a loud beeping monitor making an alarming noise woke me up. I looked around. I was alone .The same alarming noise was coming from the hall. The lights flickered.
My breath was caught in my throat. I felt that something was horribly wrong. I felt that disappear and sadness was coming. When my mind caught up with me, I found that there was no one in the halls, every thing was turned off. I grabbed my hair with my hand.
Trying to figure things out. Then the lights went out, emergency lights flickering off and on, giving the creepy hospital feeling.
I was trembling, and in terrible fear. Then motherly instincts that every mother has set me running. I needed to find my baby.
"Elizabeth!" I screamed in fear.
I needed help I needed to find someone, but the halls were deserted, everyone was gone. I was crying now. What was wrong? "Elizabeth!" I screamed again and again, going down the wrong halls.
"Elizabeth!" I called again my vice hoarse and barley audible.
Just as I was about to pass a room. With glass walls, I stopped; this is where they should be keeping my baby.
When I walked in a horrible smell, reached my nose. I stopped short. Shivers running up my arms, my mouth trembling. All around me I saw mangled infant bodies. Blood everywhere. I screamed clutching me head.
I dropped to the floor. Crying hysterically.
Shouting something. I wasn't sure what I was saying.
"Elizabeth!" I cried. Grabbing at my sides hard, trying to stop this trembling.
My eye's traveling, looking for Elizabeth. I almost threw up tears, when I saw her name written on a piece of paper that was attached to her bed.
There was Elizabeth. Her tiny body mangled and broken in many ways.
I yelled even louder, breaking and rebreaking my voice. My breaths were loud and jaggered. I ran up to my baby, and clutched her to be me, my tears soaking her body, I kissed her head. Clutching her closer and closer, sobbing.
"No!" I screamed. "Waked up! Wake up!" I said in a broken voice that was ruled by my uncontrollable sobbing, getting out clear words was so hard. I stood there, Elizabeth in my arms. I saw a flash of red, then I screamed, but this time in pain as I was thrown into wall. Elizabeth falling from my clutch…
"Bella! Bella! It's okay! Elizabeth is okay, stop screaming" said a velvet voice trying to sooth me.
I was sobbing.
"E-Edward?" I asked in between sobs
"Elizabeth, she's…"
"Shhh…" I heard him say; though his voice was comforting I noticed he stayed far away from me.
"Bella Elizabeth is alive, you were just dreaming, nothings wrong, please stop crying." He pleaded to me. My breaths shuddered, slowing down.
"A dream?" I asked in a hoarse voice.
"Yes" He breathed. His eyes intense in mine. He looked like he was in pain, hoping for me to be okay. My sobs were slowing down.
"W-where i-is she?" I asked.
"She's in the intensive care unit, Bella." Edward said looking into my eyes with sad sympathy.
"Why?" My voice raised several high octaves, my voice trembling
"Bella." He said.
"Elizabeth has some problems with her heart and lungs." Edward said looking from my eyes to the floor. Clearly uncomfortable. I felt faint. And then I did faint.
"Bella?" Said a gruffly voice. Bothering me from my sleep.
I let out a deep angry breath. "Yes." I said trying to control my anger.
"Oh god Bella! You have no idea how worried I was." Charlie said concerned. I felt bad about my reaction, to him.
"Hey dad." We sat here in silence. I was trying not to think, trying to be numb. I. Did. Not. Want. To. Remember.
I grinded my teeth together.
"You know Bells, she's going to be alright. There's nothing to worry about. Just a few operations." Charlie said breaking the silence.
I nodded. Tears pooling in my eyes. Charlie hugged me, in a comforting way. I cried into his shoulder.
Three Weeks Later.
I walked up to the intensive care unit slowly, every time I came here, I was overcome, with the hurt and pain, I 'forgot' about during the day.
" Good evening Bella. Elizabeth's doctor would like to talk to you in his office." Said a nurse as I passed her desk.
nodding I headed for Carlisle's office. I knocked on the door.
"Come in Bella." I entered. Carlisle, was looking at some papers.
Though I could tell he wasn't really interested in them. He glanced up at me a couple times, each time he looked at my eyes, he averted his gaze back to he papers, and I was starting to feel uncomfortable.
Holding my sides I tried not to cry. Then he looked up at me, this time keeping my gaze. He took a deep breath, and continued…
Okay, I know Bella doesn't swear like that, but when people are giving birth, sometimes you act differently, and Bella wanted to get it over with because it was very, very, very painful. Imagine have a baby's body pushing it's way out of you?
