So, it's taken me a while to think about where I'm going to take this and I've decided that this may be the last chapter I'm not sure yet, it depends of I think of anything else to add in. Also I was thinking of doing another story so if anyone has any ideas about any stories they want me to write next, let me know. And by the way, Jacob won the vote. ;) …
Chapter 11
Beep. Beep. Beep. The noise I could hear was painfully annoying. I could feel a pricking feeling in my arm. And the pain in my stomach was torture. But everything was still dark and black. I attempted to open my eyes and failed as I was greeted with a blinded light. The beeping I could hear changed as I once again attempted to open my eyes. "Bella?" I could hear someone calling my name. "Bella?" I opened my eyes again and found it a lot easier than last time, but everything was blurry.
I tried harder to focus my vision until I could start to make out objects around me such as a table and an empty chair. I turned my head to process all of the other objects around me when I realised that I was still at the Cullen's house, that I had survived. I continued to try turning my head and I could make out some figures standing next to me. "Bella?" A voice was calling my name again but this time it sounded more familiar. "Bella?" It sounded very familiar. "Jake?" I called. "Bella. Thank god you're okay?" Jake replied as he flung his arms around me. I winced at the pain but I didn't care, I felt safe again being in Jake's arms. "I'm okay?" I asked. "Yeah you are." Jake responded. "You mean I'm not a… a vampire?" I had to make sure I was still human; I couldn't live with Jake hating my existence for the rest of eternity. "No, you're still human." Jake told me with a smile. I instantly smiled back and tried to sit up but the pain in my stomach was too much to handle. I could feel the tears forming in my eyes.
"Just relax Bells, you don't want to get hurt anymore right?" I looked up at Jake. "How did I survive this?" I asked. He was about to answer when another voice interrupted. "We managed to get it out of you in time and still managed to save you both before you lost too much blood. If we had waited any longer to get it out, I don't think you would have made it. Well, not without being turned anyway." Edward explained. "So wait, the baby survived?" I asked. What was I supposed to do now? I looked up at Jake and saw the hurt in his eyes. Did he think I was going to ditch him for a baby? My brain was all jumbled and confused. I couldn't just abandon a child could I? But I loved Jake more than anything on this earth, and the child is half vampire and is half Edward. Could I really love him or her? "Yeah. Do you want to see her? She's with Rosalie at the moment." She? I had a daughter? I found myself nodding my head.
What if I couldn't do this? What if I see her and I wanted to give her up. Or what if I wanted to keep her and Jake didn't? Then he would leave me. I had no idea what to do. But before I could say anything, Jake was lifting me up out of the hospital bed. I once again winced at the pain. Jake carefully carried me up the stairs to where my daughter was. Jake walked into the living room where Rosalie stood with a baby girl in her arms. She was beautiful. She had emerald green eyes and light brown hair. She looked up at me and smiled; but I was frozen. She looked too much like Edward. It hurt. I couldn't do it. Carlisle walked in the room and approached Rosalie. "Rose, why don't you let Bella hold her?" I looked at rose as Jake set me down on the sofa. I saw the pain in her eyes as Carlisle took the baby from her. I knew how badly Rosalie wanted children but had the opportunity taken away from her when she was involuntarily turned into a vampire. I looked at Edward. His eyes showed love, but not love for his daughter, love for his sister. The way she looked perfect holding a child in her arms. And that's when I had the idea.
I suddenly shook my head. "No. Give her back to rose. I can't do it." I whispered. "Wait Bella, wait are you saying?" Rosalie asked me as Carlisle handed the baby back to her. "I want you to have her. There's no way I could bring up a child who's half vampire. It wouldn't be right. She would have a better life with you. You deserve her." She looked shocked. Excited, but shocked. She looked at Edward. "Is that okay with you Edward? She's your daughter too." Suddenly, all eyes in the room were on Edward. "Umm, yeah I guess so. I couldn't give her the life she deserves by myself." Rosalie smiled down at her baby. "Thank you so much Bella. I don't know how to thank you." I looked at Rosalie. "Just give your daughter the life she deserves." Rosalie nodded her head as she handed the baby to Emmett. He looked down at his daughter with love and affection in his eyes which made me smile. Rosalie came and hugged me. If she could, I think she would be crying by now.
Rosalie walked back over to Emmet to make a fuss over her baby daughter. I smiled at Jake as he placed his lips on my forehead. Why was he so perfect? I looked over at Rose and Emmett as I snuggled into Jake's side. Even though the baby wasn't their biological daughter, she still looked similar to Rose and Emmett. I guess it's because she looks a lot like Edward who looks similar to his siblings, even though they're not actually related. She could easily pass as their daughter. "We've thought of a name for her." Emmett suddenly announced. "We've decided to call her Izzy, which is short for Isabella, like your name Bella." I looked at Emmett and chuckled. "It's perfect you guys." Everyone went to crowd around the baby in Emmett's arms, including Edward. I knew he was going to make a great uncle.
Rosalie walked over to me and took a seat next to me. "You know, you can come and visit her whenever you like." She told me. "Thanks Rose. Although I don't want to come visit too much because if I get attached and then you guys move away, I wouldn't be able to handle something like that." I explained to her. "I understand. But for now you can be awesome aunt Bella!" She exclaimed. I laughed. I'd never seen Rosalie so happy before. "Thanks Rose. I'd love that." I began to feel tired and yawned as I once again snuggled into Jake's side. "Hey you tired?" He asked. I nodded in response. "Let's go home then." After what seemed like forever of convincing Carlisle that I was okay, I was finally allowed to go home. Jacob carried me to his car and carefully placed me in the passenger seat, being extra careful not to hurt my stomach.
We finally reached my house where Jacob insisted on carrying me out of the car and up to my bedroom. I t felt so nice to finally sleep in my own bed. Jake laid down on the bed next to me. I tried to sleep but something was still stuck in my brain that I just couldn't figure out. I finally drifted to sleep. I dreamt that I was walking through the forest with Jake. But the he disappeared. I started screaming his name but I heard no response. Then out of nowhere, Victoria slammed me into the ground and laughed in my face. I screamed as I woke up, waking Jacob up too. "Bella what's wrong?" Jake asked, his voice filled with panic. "Bad dream." I answered. "Jake, what happened to Victoria?" I asked. "She's dead Bella. The pack caught up with her and got her. She won't hurt you anymore." I breathed a sigh of relief. "Actually Bella, there's something I needed to talk to you about."
"What's wrong Jake?" I asked. "Well, when we were chasing the leech, Sam saw everything in my mind, about Izzy. He wants to go after her. He thinks she's an abomination and he said that once the baby had been separated from you, he was going to get rid of her." He calmly told me. "What?! Do the Cullen's know?" I practically screamed. "It's okay Bells. I told them. They're ready. But I'm afraid there may be an ugly fight, and because I let Sam be alpha, he might make me fight." He explained. "Wait what? You let him be alpha?" "Yeah, I'm the rightful alpha, but I didn't want to do it so I gave it to Sam. So now he's in charge and I have to follow his orders." I looked at Jake and saw the regret in his eyes. "But I don't want to fight the Cullens bells. They helped you. But I can't fight my brothers either." I sighed. "It'll be okay Jake, it'll all work out." I looked at Jake once more before drifting to sleep.
I woke in the morning feeling an intensely sharp pain in my stomach. "Ouch." I winced as I tried to sit up. "You okay Bells? Need some help?" "I'm fine. I have no idea how I'm going to hide this from Charlie. You know I'm a terrible liar. And he's going to start asking questions when he realises that my stomach has been cut open!" I was rambling. "Do you want me to take you to Carlisle? He might be able to get you some painkillers?" I smiled and nodded. I realised that I was still wearing the same clothes from the day before, but I didn't care, I just wanted to get some painkillers. Jake lifted me up, carried me downstairs, and like the day before he carefully placed me in the passenger seat of his car.
We approached the Cullen house. I was quite anxious about going inside, about seeing Edward and Izzy. We reached the Cullen house and Jacob helped me out of the car. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it reassuringly. We walked up to the door and knocked. Carlisle was instantly in front of us, welcoming us inside. He led us to his office and we sat down on his comfy seats. "So Bella, how are you feeling?" He asked. "That's actually what we're here about. Do you think I could have some sort of painkillers for my stomach, it hurts and I can't risk Charlie finding out?" I asked quickly. "Of course, I'll see what I have." "Thank you Carlisle." He walked over to a cabinet a shuffled the contents about before pulling out a green box. Here you got, try these. Make sure to take one three times a day. Try them for a week and if they don't seem to be helping, come back to see me and we'll try something else." He explained to me. "Thank you Carlisle." We walked out of his office and Carlisle lead us down the hall into the living room.
I walked into the living room and couldn't believe what I saw. Izzy had grown already. She was now the physical age of a six month old baby. I heard Carlisle chuckle as I looked at him, shock written on my face. "She grows at an accelerated rate. Hopefully she'll stop growing when she reaches the physical age of around seventeen or eighteen." He explained. I just nodded. I hoped she would stop growing, I don't think rose and Emmett could handle losing their daughter. They'd only been her parents for a day and already they were perfect at it. I smiled as Izzy look over at me. She was truly beautiful. She was perfect in fact. She had the most perfect smile ever.
I was still studying Izzy in awe when a loud howl rung through the air. Jake ran and looked out the window. "It's the pack. They're here!" Snarls rung around the room as Emmett tightened his grip around Izzy. I looked out of the window and saw all of the wolves surrounding the Cullens house. All but Sam who was in human form. He walked up to the front of the Cullen house and knocked on the door. Carlisle went to open the door. Everyone was silent as we listened to the voices talking at the door. "Carlisle, I'm here to talk. We don't want to fight unless we have to." Sam informed Carlisle. "I agree Sam. But what made you change your mind?" Carlisle asked. "Well seeing as Bella survived, we have considered that maybe the kid isn't so dangerous, but we still can't be too sure. Maybe we can go over the treaty, see if we can enforce this situation into it?" "Of course Sam, why don't you come in?"
Sam was tense as he entered the room. He nodded at me and Jake and glared at Izzy. Carlisle offered him a seat which he took and the discussion took place. Sam and Carlisle were discussing when lots of snarling took place outside. I looked out of the window and saw that Leah was now in human form. She burst in the room and ran towards Emmett. Sam lept forward and grabbed Leah before she could hurt Leah. "LEAH STOP NOW!" He commanded. "Stop or you'll break the treaty!" He also commanded. "Have you seen the abomination they have created? The treaty's clearly void" Leah snarled. "That hasn't been decided yet Leah." Sam tried to reason with her but she wouldn't listen. Seth stepped in the room and assisted in helping Sam control Leah. "Sorry Sam, I tried to stop her." Sam sighed as Seth looked around the room. His eyes landed on Izzy and he froze.
He continued staring at Izzy. Everyone was staring at Seth. "YOU DIDN'T!" Rosalie snarled at Seth. Seth gulped as Rosalie flung herself towards him. Carlisle and Jasper held Rosalie back as Seth walked towards Emmett and Izzy. Emmett placed Izzy in Seth's arms. I was surprised at how well Emmett was taking the situation. Rosalie was still snarling as she looked over at Izzy and Seth. Everyone was expecting her to flip, but she didn't. Her expression softened and she smiled as she realised all Seth wanted to do was help protect her little girl. Even Leah was smiling at the fact that her little brother had found his soul mate. Seth looked at me and smiled. I was pleased that he had found his reason for existence, and that Izzy had someone to protect her forever. Seth smiled at the little girl in his arms as Sam and Carlisle sat down and finally continued their conversation.
"Well, I guess there's not much to discuss except for the fact that we will help protect Izzy seeing as she's Seth's imprint. We will also allow Izzy to come onto La Push land; however she's the only one we can make an exception for." Sam explained. Carlisle nodded in agreement and shook Sam's hand as he left. I took one last look at Seth and Izzy before I drifted off to sleep in Jake's arms. When I woke up I was back in my own bedroom. I looked up and saw Jake looking down at me. I smiled as he bent his head down to my face. My eyes flicked shut as he pressed his lips to mine. Our lips moulded perfectly together. It was perfect. Everything was perfect.
"I love you Bella." He whispered. "I love you too, so much." I whispered back. I shut my eyes, feeling content. I thought of Seth and Izzy and how pleased I was that they both found their reason for existing. I fell asleep satisfied with the fact that I had finally found my own reason for existing.
THE END
Thank you so much for reading. And please, still review if you think I need to add anything else in and if there is anything that needs adding I might do another chapter. Also, please let me know who you think I should do a story on next. I would also like to say thanks to the person who gave me the idea of Bella giving her baby to Rosalie. I honestly never thought of that idea and I am so glad you gave me that idea because without it this story probably wouldn't have an ending. Anyways, once again thanks for reading, let me know what you thought and I hope to see you all on the next story
