A/N: my reviewers -
MicheLLen, rocker79313, sstteepphhyy, and last but not least, my ever faithful reviewer, friend, and creator of this wonderful story, Tabbycat917,
THANK ALL YOU GUYS!!!
You inspire me.
Anyway, let's see if I can make this better than the last.
[EPOV]
"She's not clear?" I demanded, "Why?! What does that mean?!"
"I don't know, Edward!" Alice shouted back at me. "It's like looking through a foggy mirror."
I couldn't understand why. Alice could always see vampires better than humans. She could always see Bella as a human, but now, she's a vampire, and now she has trouble.
I looked over at Bella and she was staring at her stomach.
"Bella, what's wrong, love?" I asked her worried.
[BPOV]
I tore my eyes from my stomach, and stared at Edward.
"This cannot be possible…" I whispered.
He crossed the room to stand next to me, "What is it?" he asked, a little more alarmed this time.
I looked at him for a moment, "What did I do after I ate, twice?"
"You threw up…" he said slowly.
"Look at my stomach…" I barely whispered.
His eyes widened, "Bella, you can't be…that's unheard of…I hope Rosalie doesn't find out…" he trailed off.
Alice squealed, "BELLA!!!!!! YOU'RE THE FIRST EVER PREGNANT VAMPIRE!!!!! That must explain why I can't see clearly, I've never encountered a pregnant vampire. So, hell, this could be normal." she spoke very quickly.
I just stared blankly at her, "But who's is it?"
They all stopped breathing and looked at me, remembering the past few days, and I collapsed to the floor, pulling my knees to my chest, crying, my tearless sobs.
"Bella, love, calm down…" Edward whispered, sinking down beside me, pulling me to him. "It doesn't matter, we will all love this baby, it's a miracle, either way. I mean, I hope it's mine, I hope I'm the one that created this miracle with you, but even if it's not, I'll be okay with that." he finished, sounding sincere.
Alice spoke up again, "Who's going to tell Carlisle?" she asked softly.
"Either you or Jasper," Edward said to her, "Bella can't, in her state, and I'd rather not speak to him right now, not till I'm more calm." He finished.
"I'll do it," jasper spoke up, "Besides, even if the kid isn't his, he'll want to study this, and he's the only doctor that can see to Bella, anyway." Jasper walked away, dialing his cell phone.
He walked back in a few moments later, "I told him to get here fast, that there was something he simply must know about, and must see to. He's on his way."
"Thank you, Japser." Edward said.
Then Rosalie walked in the door, "Why is Carlisle rushing back home?" she asked.
"Oh no," Edward said, then started the explanation.
[CPOV]
It must be important. Jasper sounded urgent. I hope no one is hurt.
These were the thoughts bouncing through my head as I drove to the airport, and waited for my flight, and as I sat on the plane.
Once I got to the house, seven hours later, I walked inside to find Bella in the fetal position, in Edward's lap, Alice sitting beside them, running her fingers through Bella's hair, and Jasper positioned tensely between Bella and the rest of the room.
There were broken chairs, and a hole in one wall, the back door was torn from the hinges.
"What the hell happened here?!?" I demanded, "And where is Esme?"
"Esme is with Emmett, and Rosalie," Jasper said, tension in his voice.
"That only answered one question." I said softly.
Edward spoke up, "Bella has a miracle to share with you, Carlisle." he almost growled at me.
Then with Edward's help, and Alice with her, Bella stood, and walked over to me.
"What is it? And what does a miracle have to do with this wrecked house?"
Bella lifted her shirt, and her stomach looked different than the last time I saw her.
"I've been throwing up," she said hoarsely.
My eyes widened, "Bella, the last time you looked this way you were p-….."
"I know," she cut me off. "I am."
"But ho-…I mean, that's impos-…." I stuttered, I couldn't find the words.
Then Esme and Emmett leaving with Rosalie made sense.
"Rosalie found out…" I stated. It wasn't a question. They all knew that, for no one answered.
"We only don't know who's it is." Edward said through clenched teeth.
"Oh, but there is good news," Alice smiled, "Bella chose Edward." she said happily.
I faked a smile, but it felt like a stab in my dead heart. I did love Bella. I couldn't help it.
I hoped this child was mine, and secretly, I had wanted Bella to choose me.
How could I want that? I thought to myself, to hurt my son, and my wife.
What was wrong with me?
I shook my head to clear it, I would have to put those thoughts aside. I had the first ever pregnant vampire standing in front of me, "Let's get you upstairs to my emergency medical room, Bella." I said professionally.
Edward stood and scooped her in his arms, bridal style, carried her upstairs, and placed her on the table.
"Now the ultrasound probably won't work, but we can try. If not, I can try and produce a needle capable of piercing her skin, and the placenta to extract blood from the baby and see what we're working with here."
"I don't like the idea of stabbing either of them, but whatever you think is best, and whatever Bella chooses is fine with me." Edward said.
[RPOV]
"WHY THE HELL DOES SHE GET THIS AGAIN!?!?!?!?" I shrieked at the top of my lungs.
"THAT STUPID BITCH! WHY THE FUCK DOES SHE GET TO BE PREGNANT TWICE?!?!?! THIS ISN'T FAIR! DAMMIT!!!"
I ripped a tree up, roots and all, and threw it at another tree, knocking down three in the process.
Emmett then put his arms around me, locking mine down.
"Don't talk about Bella that way." He growled in my ear. "She is like a sister to me, and this is not her fault. Calm down, or you won't get to see any of the family for a long time." he finished.
"Please calm down, Rose." Esme begged me. "I don't want this miracle to tear apart our family." she cried without tears.
I growled when she said 'miracle'. I was tired of that word the first time was enough, that's when I snapped. I couldn't believe Jasper threw me against the wall that hard when I lunged for Bella's pretty little throat.
"BUT WHY CAN'T IT BE ME?!?" my voice broke. "I want a child…" I cried. "More than anything…"
"I know, Rose, but maybe now there's hope. Bella got pregnant, so now we know you can." Esme said, trying to help. Always so optimistic. I laughed bitterly to myself. If only she knew there was a chance that child was Carlisle's.
Can't wait for that confession. It's good thing she's so obliviously happy all the time.
I went limp in Emmett's arms, "I'm done fighting. I'm still pissed as hell, but I'm done. Take me back to the house. I want to know what Carlisle finds out about this…occurrence." I spat the word.
"I'm not letting you go back till at least tomorrow. I know you, Rose. You aren't ready." Emmett said.
I growled in frustration, but gave in. it didn't matter either way.
[BPOV]
Carlisle was right.
The ultrasound showed absolutely nothing.
The little one inside me, started to move though, that actually caused me to smile. I remembered Nessie.
Carlisle had a needle that he had made with a piece of a vampire's fang, and he was going to try and extract blood from the baby, so he could test it.
He was positioning the needle over my stomach, Edward was standing across from Carlisle on the other side of my stomach, very tense.
Jasper had to leave the room, he couldn't handle all this anymore, Alice was holding my hand.
And me?
I still hate needles.
