Jaden's Point Of View:
It's been 6 months into Belinda's pregnancy and we found out it is a baby girl. We decided to name her Melody Sierra Cullen. I've been real happy about bringing a daughter into this world. I'm really nervous but I know I will be able to raise her. The only question that everyone keeps asking is what will this child be? Half and half or full. We have no idea. I'm not that worry about it now, I'm more worried about my child and my soon to be wife. We decided to marry when Melody was 1 years old. We wanted her to be able to be there when her parents got marry.
We were in my room when I put my hand onto Belinda's stomach and I feel my baby girl kicking. That sound just made me so happy inside like I was little kid again. I was going to be a father in 3 months and let me tell you I'm happy but also nervous. I didn't really know how to be a father but I was really good with kids. I had a job at a day care back in 1998 and the kids loved me there and I loved them back. I just am hoping I'm not a bad father to her because it would kill me if I was one to my baby girl.
"She already loves you Jay."
I smile at her and the fact this baby that isn't even born yet loves me. Since I found out she was pregnant I have been there with her every minute and every second of the day. Bella swears that this pregnancy has changed me somehow but I don't believe her. Maybe it has. I do see one thing in me that has changed and that is I've been trying to have a very good relationship with my father. I've been doing things with him, talking to him about my past and some problems I'm having and sometimes he takes me to his work to help him out. I actually like it and it helps with my self control which I might need when my daughter is born.
"Jay, can I talk with you for a moment?"
My dad asks me when he comes into the room. He never has called me Jay before because he never liked to use our nicknames but lately he has been using them.
"Yeah, sure, I'll be right back."
I say to Belinda as I kiss her on the lips. She turns herself and tries to go asleep. Since she has become pregnant some of her human traits came back which included sleep.
I close the door and we go to my father's study or his office. Whatever he calls it. He has me sit down and I can tell by his face expression this wasn't good news.
"Jaden while you and Belinda were hunting last night I review the ultrasounds for Melody. I didn't want Belinda knowing since she probably will take it real hard."
"Dad just tells me what is wrong?"
"I believe next month Melody will be born but she will be really tiny. I don't how tiny but tiny enough that I don't know if she will survive. Jaden she is not half-vampire she is fully human."
What the hell? This wasn't happening to me. I almost was in tears but I didn't want to cry in front of my father. I was in shock. I get blessed to have a child and when she is born she might die. How can god give me a miracle and then want her back? I wasn't going to lose my child. My first born daughter. I already love her and was very protective of her and one thing I know is that I' am not losing her. I don't care if she is fully human she is still my daughter.
"Jaden, Jaden, son talk to me."
I blink my eyes and come out of my shock. I wipe the tears from my face and I look at him with a determined face.
"No matter what I want you to save my daughter. I' am not losing her. I refuse to lose the only daughter in my life."
"Son I promise you I will do whatever I can to save my granddaughter."
"What about Belinda? Will she survive the labor?"
When we found out she was pregnant my dad didn't know if she will live throughout the labor. He has been trying to find out if she will but I already know if our daughter does die then Belinda will probably kill herself to be with her. I love them both and if they were gone then I don't know if I will be able to be alive without them. They both are my lives.
"Jaden I truly don't know. Edward, Jasper and I have been doing research but all it comes down to is death for the mother. Even though she is a vampire she is half-human now which means she might die if Melody birth is too much for her."
This was too much for me right now. I didn't want to hear that my daughter might die and now Belinda might die too. Why does my life have to get worst? I wish I can just be human then they will probably both be fine and live a normal life. I won't have to worry about losing my wife or my daughter. I knew I had some tears coming down my face and I wipe them away. I wasn't going to cry. I was going to be strong during this whole thing. I can't be weak; I have to be strong for my family.
"Jaden, I promise you I will not let Belinda or Melody die. As soon as I see something wrong I will work on them until I can get them breathing again."
"I know you will dad. I just can't lose them. I lost enough because of this life. I don't want to lose the two people that are making me feel normal again."
"And you won't. I promise you."
I nod my head at him. I get up and go to my room to be alone. Belinda was still sleeping which I wanted because I couldn't face her and keep this from her. I slam my body on my bed and pick my pillow up and scream inside it. I always wanted to be a father. I wanted to have the feeling every father had when they held their child for the first time and see the miracle they have been waiting 9 months for. If that gets taken away I don't know what I will do. Yeah maybe taking my life will be better if I lose them but if I do that it will cause a lot of pain to my father and especially to Bella. I couldn't do that to them. I wish I really wish that I didn't have to think any of this. I didn't want the fear of losing my child and my wife. I love them both to death. Belinda has been my only girlfriend and my only best friend. She was the girl I can talk to about everything and not hide any of my feelings. She knows me like an open book and I know her that way too. I don't know what I would do without her here with me.
I can just picture my baby girl right now. She has blue eyes, long curly dirty blonde hair and the sweetest of an angel. She has a smile that can light up a room and a laugh that no one can ignore. She was perfect in my eyes. A daughter I always dream of having. Even though she isn't born she is my whole life. In my dreams I see Belinda, Melody and me happy with each other. I always wanted to have a family and have a smile on my face every time I woke up.
I wanted my little girl to survive. I wanted her to be safe and healthy. I don't want her to be out of life. I just want to hold her in my arms and tell her everything will be fine. I make a decision that I hope will help. I will pray like I always use to. I never had a reason to until now.
I get off of my bed and get on my knees. I put my hands together and rest my elbows on my bed and close my eyes.
"I never have done this before. I never thought I had to until now. I have a daughter that will be born soon but she might die. I don't want my life to be taken away. You give us a blessing and I' am determined to be a great father to her. God, I promise if you let her live I will never be a bad father to her. I won't leave her. I won't abuse her. I will be the meaning of the saying of the greatest father in the world. Please I l…love her already. I want to raise her and see her grow into a fine young woman. I want to enjoy what every father does with their children. Please let her live. Please let Belinda live. I love her more than words can describe. I will stick to my word."
I let my hands down and cry it all out. I hope this works and god works a miracle for me.
