Chapter Nine- The Phrase That Pays

BELLA POINT OF VIEW

"Uh, Emmett?"

Everyone that could stand was about to run out the door because the cops found our baby's scents. The bad thing is Rose, Esme and I are not aloud to. I'm going to be in here for a week, Rose and Esme can leave in two days.

"Yeah?"

"We can't go with you, remember?"

"Oh, right," he laughed at his stupidity. I rolled my eyes.

"Just, go save my baby and my niece," I said with a big smile.

He nodded and bolted out the door after kissing Rose once.

Edward turned to me and silently asked me something that would of sounded like, "Do you want me to go?"

"Of course, you need to help finding Chelsea!" I yelled.

"Okay, okay, I was just wondering if you wanted me to stay," He sighed and got up, "I love you, I'll be back soon…with the whole family," he leaned down and kissed my forehead lightly.

"I love you, too," I whispered as he jogged out the room.

I sighed heavily and looked over at Rose and Esme. They both got cots so they could hang out in my room with me so I wouldn't be lonely.

"Rose…" I started, but I was interrupted by Rose's hand flying up.

"Don't start, Bella. You did what you could. It was my fault in the first place. If I wasn't speeding down the road to see that man…"

"Rose, honey," Esme started, "don't beat yourself up over this. This was none of our faults. It was that horrid human being."

"Right, it's just…ugh! Has this really only been three days?" she threw her hands up in the air, frustrated.

The door flew open and in came Reneé and Alice, with Zack in her arms.

"Oh my god, Bella!" Mom instantly ran to my bed and jumped on the side, careful not to jump on me. She latched herself onto me and held on for dear life. "Don't you ever scare me like that again!" she scolded.

"Sorry, Mom," I said sheepishly. I looked next to me and saw Alice was in a similar position with Esme, and Rose was squeezing Zack as he cried in her chest. Reneé went to hug everyone else, as did Alice.

"Where did everyone go?" I noticed as no one else walked into the room.

"The rest of them went to go help find the girls," Alice said.

I nodded, "That's good."

There was a comfortable silence for a while, and I was starting to wonder if everyone fell asleep. I looked to my right and saw Reneé drooling all over my pillow. She must be extremely tired. She's been up constantly since this whole thing started, and she's pregnant to top it all off. Alice and Esme were wrapped in each other's arms sleeping. Rose was just looking into space, holding onto Zack.

I tried to move to get comfortable again. When I shifted, a stabbing pain went through my abdomen. I hissed through my clenched teeth.

Rose heard it and whipped her head towards me.

"Bella, are you alright?!" she whispered frantically, high enough for me to hear, afraid of waking someone up.

"Yeah, I think—" my voice was cut off by another pain, but this time it felt like someone shocked me. I was stunned momentarily, until I started shaking violently, I couldn't control myself. My eyes were starting to roll in the back of my head. I could barely understand anything that was going on.

The last thing I heard was my mom and Rose yelling for someone to help.

EDWARD POINT OF VIEW

Emmett, Jasper, Charlie and I all followed Harry and the other police officer towards the police cars.

"Emmett, Edward, Jasper, you ride with me in my cruiser," Charlie told us.

"Yes, sir," we all agreed and ran to his car. I got in the front, and Emmett and Jasper in the back. It was quite comical to see them behind the window and bars. I started to remember back to our senior year in high school. That was crazy…

I heard Charlie flip on the sirens and lights and sped out of the parking lot.

It was dead silent in the car, and we've been in it for ten minutes.

I sighed loudly. I was getting anxious to see my baby girl.

"Where the hell is the place we're going to anyways?" I asked after all that silence.

I noticed Jasper and Emmett always took their eyes away from the window to look at Charlie, waiting for an answer.

He sighed, "Columbus, Ohio."

"What?!" all three of us shouted together.

"I know, I know, I don't know why he went down there either. It's about two and a half hours to get there, but with my driving today, we'll be there in an hour and a half."

Only now did I check the speedometer. We were going one hundred-twenty miles per hour.

Good, I thought, if he was going slow, I'd just have to knock him out so I could drive.

"Good."

The rest of the way was silent. I'm surprised Emmett never said a word. He was just praying for his daughter, as was I.

The car jolted stop and I looked up to see a beat up warehouse. It looked like it's gone through more than twenty fires. It was pretty crappy, and my daughter and niece are in there?!

"Okay guys, if you want to come in, fine, but you need to get a bullet-proof vest on. I highly recommend Edward comes with me and another officer, mainly because you have military training and you know the kidnapper. Emmett, Jasper, you guys are going to be mainly helping the rest of the cops get the girls. Got it?" Charlie said in a rush.

We nodded and got out of the car to get suited up.

He shut the trunk of his cruiser after we got suited and turned to us.

"Edward, you and I are going to go in first. Harry, Emmett, Jasper, you go in after we gave the signal so we know the girls are safe."

"Yes, Captain," Harry said at the same time as Emmet, Jasper and I all said "Yes, Charlie."

"It's Sir Charlie to you," he smirked, and we laughed, "Okay boys; let's get my family back together!"

Emmett and Jasper came over to pat my back, "Good luck, bro, get my baby back safe for me."

I looked over at Emmett and saw tears unshed in his eyes.

"Will do, Emmett," I smiled a little and gave him a 'manly hug', as some people would say.

"Be safe," Jasper said.

I nodded, "You too," and I ran to catch up with Charlie.

ROSE POINT OF VIEW

I was sitting in my cot, just thinking about what was going on in my life. It seems so crazy to say, but all this happened in just over 72 hours.

Chelsea goes missing, Charlie comes back 'from the dead', Renee's pregnant, James took Chelsea, Edward flips out on Bella for the first time in his life, we get in a car crash, Bella gets stabbed, Hannah gets kidnapped by the same ass hole! God, this is crazy. Now, my baby just might be in the process of getting saved right now. This was too much to handle.

I gently stroked Zack's short, blond hair, as he started to fall asleep.

I heard a sharp hiss, and I looked up at Bella to see her looking in pain, holding onto her stomach.

"Bella, are you alright?!" I whispered frantically, hoping I didn't wake anyone up.

She stared at me for a minute, then replied, "Yeah, I think—" before she completely doubled over in pain. She grabbed her head, as if she had a bad migraine.

"Bella?!"

She started shaking uncontrollably, which caused Reneé to wake up. She took one look down at Bella and freaked out.

"BELLA! BABY, ARE YOU OKAY?" she didn't respond. Her eyes started to roll in the back of her head, the shaking never stopped. I watched in horror as Reneé ran from the room. By now, Alice, Esme, and Zack were up also, watching the scene with tears rolling down their faces.

"HELP, SOMEONE HELP US! MY DAUGHTER, SOMETHING'S WRONG!" a little nurse that looked like she was in fifth grade ran into the room, she took one look at her and ran to the bed.

She rolled her to her side and waited for the doctor to get in.

About fifteen seconds later, the doctor, which was of course Carlisle, ran into the room and walked to Bella.

"She's having a seizure," I gasped, as did everyone else, "quick, we need to get her back into the emergency room!" a couple more nurses ran in and quickly wheeled Bella out of the room, Reneé making a mad dash behind them.

The room became silent, everyone was stunned.

"Oh my god," Alice choked out, breaking the silence.

"What the hell just happened?" Esme whispered. She was right, that all happened in under a minute.

"I don't know, I was just sitting here thinking then Bella moved. She gasped and held her stomach, then she gasped again but louder, then she grabbed her head. I didn't know what was going on. She started shaking…" my voice cracked, "that's when Reneé woke up."

"I'm going to find Reneé and see what's going on, I'll be right back," Alice said before she jumped out of the bed and ran to the door.

"I need to call Emmett," I whispered, unable to find my voice. Esme nodded from beside me.

I grabbed my purse that Alice brought in for me and took out my Verizon Chocolate. I dialed Emmett's number, and he picked up after three rings.

"Rose, you okay?" Emmett frantically asked.

"Yeah, I'm…fine. Emmett, where are you? What's going on?"

"Babe, we just got to Columbus, that's where this ass has them. Edward and Charlie just went in to try to get them. We had to wait for the signal to go in to get the girls. Rose, what's wrong? You don't sound right." I could hear the worry in his voice.

"Emmett, don't tell Edward this yet, he has to try to help the girls…but…" I couldn't say. Why couldn't I bring myself to say it?!

"What can't we tell Edward?" I heard Jasper ask in the background asking too, he probably put me on speaker phone.

"Just a couple minutes ago, Bella…she had a seizure," I whispered just loud enough for them to hear.

"WHAT?!" they both yelled so loud I had to pull the phone away from my ear.

"I know…it was, horrible," I started to sob, "I had to witness the whole thing, I don't think I was ever more scared in my life." I sobbed some more.

"Shh, Rose, it's okay. We'll be there soon, don't worry. And we'll be back with Hannah and Chelsea!" he boomed over the phone.

My sobs subsided, so I could at least speak, "Okay Em, I love you."

"I love you too, baby," he said, and then I heard a dial tone.

I sighed and turned to around, my back facing Esme, and I did something I haven't done in a while. I put my hand together and began talking,

"Dear God, please help our family…"

EDWARD POINT OF VIEW

I took a big, deep breath and looked over at Charlie; he was doing the same thing. When our eyes locked, he nodded and lifted his gun to get around the corner.

It was time.

HALLELUIAH, I finally updated! Sorry, I just got done with mid-terms, and I had to try to pass geometry. Well, it didn't work too well. So, I think this was an exciting chapter. Next chapter, the girls finally get home.
