Chapter 11: The Answer

Bella POV

"Fuck no!!" Flame growled out. He stood from his embrace with me and started pacing around the room, obviously trying to calm himself down.

"Uhh…. guys? Look," Jake was pointing to the window. We looked towards it and there was a flickering light. It was red and orange and it was spreadi – oh no……

"Flame!!" I shouted. His eyes were still shut as he tried to contain himself.

"Put the fire out!! NOW BELLA!!" Sam shouted in his alpha voice. "OUR WOLVES ARE PATROLLING AROUND THAT AREA!!" he shouted in terror and anger.

I put out the fire with the flick on my hand. After a few seconds, the fire reappeared again.

"What's wrong? I put it out already," I said in panic.

"Nothing's going to stop the fire, Bella. Only Flame can stop whatever he started. You're best chances are to get him to calm down, and you better do it fast," Terra said worriedly. I could tell she was afraid for the forest, being an earth elemental and all. I ran towards Flame and hugged him real tight. I could feel fire consuming my body as I hugged him, but it did nothing to damage me.

"Please, please, please calm down Flame," I wrapped my arm around his neck and whispered this soothingly in his ear. "I'm yours, not Jacob's, not Mike's, and ESPECIALLY not Edward's. Please, calm down honey. I love you," I continued. His tremors were stopping slowly, but he was still shaking nonetheless. "I'm pregnant," I whispered weakly.

His eyes widened in complete shock. Everyone's eyes did. His whole body completely stopped shaking as if a switch has been turned off. The fire completely disappeared and the forest was once safe again.

"Y-you're p-p-pre-pregnant?" he stuttered. I nodded weakly and kept my head hung low. I knew that I shouldn't have told him, but there was nothing else I could think of. He's not ready to be a dad. He won't want the baby. I was stupid to make myself believe that.

"Sorry, Bells but we really need to see if anyone got hurt," Jake looked apologetic but ran out of the house with Sam.

"Bella?" Zephy and Xen asked.

"How long?" Nixie asked.

"I'm about three weeks along. It happened when you know…." I blushed feeling uncomfortable talking about it with him when everyone else was around to hear about it.

"The car?" Flame asked. I nodded with my face having a bright red color on it.

"Kinky," Nyte commented. Everyone growled at him and he held his hands up in surrender. "Sorry, sheesh," he grumbled to himself.

"Why haven't you told me earlier?" Flame asked.

"I didn't think that…. I…. you might have not.... I don't know," I couldn't get myself to look him in eyes. I knew the consequences of this. The longer I kept it from him, the harder he would take the news.

"Can you guys leave for a sec?" nothing about Flame's voice indicated that it was a question. It was a full out command and everyone took the hint. They left the house. I could hear all of them running towards the forest following Jake and Sam.

"I'm sorry," I whispered. I blinked hard as I tried not to let the tears fall.

"Were you even planning on telling me?" he asked, his voice full of pain.

"Of course I was!! I didn't plan on telling you this way. I didn't think. I kept thinking of all of the negative things that could result with you knowing, and I was right," I looked away trying not to gaze into his eyes full of pain.

"About what?" he asked.

"You don't want the baby and now you resent me because I've presented you with something that you won't be able to get out of and – " he grabbed me chin and forced me to look at him in the eyes. His eyes were completely full of understanding and devotional love.

"What were you going to do? Kill our baby? That's preposterous," he seethed.

"Never," I growled back. "I would never. Not even once, have I thought about doing that. I will love this baby whether you want it or not. Our baby," I said firmly. I subconsciously put my hand on my stomach and began rubbing it soothingly, trying not to cause the baby any strain of stress.

"Of course I want the baby! That's something that we made together. This is a wonderful gift. I don't understand how you could even think that in the first place," he replied.

"I'm sorry it's just…….. I'm sorry," I sighed. I took his hand and pulled it away from my face. I walked over to a tree branch in one of Terra's house "decorations." I shut my eyes closed and tried to regulate my breathing. "I'm sorry," I whispered to the baby growing inside my stomach. I really didn't like the idea of putting stress on my baby.

"Bella," Flame finally said in his soft voice. I still couldn't bring myself to look, nonetheless talk to him. I kept quiet and began picking on one of the flowers on the tree. "Can't you even look at me?" he asked. No response. "I shouldn't have accused you of any of that," he finally apologized. DAMN RIGHT!! I thought, but I kept my mouth shut.

He walked over to me and tried to take a seat but I used my air element to make an air bubble around me that kept me out of his grasp. "You're seriously resulting to that?" he asked in disbelief. I shrugged my shoulders. I heard him grumble about a stupid sister teaching his wife to make air bubbles. I would've laughed if only I wasn't pissed at him.

He tried to get closer but the closest he could get to me was at least 4 feet away. "God Bella, you have no idea. I want our baby, okay? I need you to understand that. It's just…. three weeks?! That's how long you waited to tell me? No scratch that, you didn't even plan on telling me that today. It was just a spur of the moment.

" You can't honestly think that I would take this lightly after I just found out that you've kept it from me for so long," he said to me. "When did you plan on telling me anyways? When you've already had the baby? 'Oh hey Flame, yeah I've been pregnant for nine months and here's our baby,'" he said trying to mimic my voice. I barred my teeth at him and growled. I really do not like how he is taunting me right now.

"Okay, maybe that was a stupid thing to say," he apologized. I gave him a look that said 'you think?' but still said nothing to him. "Please talk to me Bella. I can't…. I haven't gone on for this long ever since we got married without hearing your voice. Please," he pleaded. I let out a sigh of defeat.

"I know Flame. This is my fault. I should've told you earlier but I was just so scared. I didn't want to feel your rejection, especially not towards our baby," I finally said.

"But I do want it. I'm thrilled actually. I mean, I'm going to be a dad!!" he exclaimed. I could hear the sincerity in his voice, so I dropped my bubble. He leaned sideways and realized that I had dissolved the bubble. He was waving in the air, which made him look really stupid, as he tried to make sure that it was really gone. Once he was sure, he ran towards me.

"I'm going to be the bestest dad in the whole world Bella. I promise you. I'm sorry if I accused you of anything. I know you would never do that, I was just angry. I'll do everything in my power to best dad for our baby. If it's a guy, I'll teach him how to pick up girls. If it's a girl, I'm going to scare every single boy out there who wants to hook up with her. She's be daddy's little girl and no guy will as to think he could have a chance with her," he ranted as he buried his head in my hair, inhaling my scent like it would be the last time he'll ever be able to.

"Honey, bestest is not a word," I corrected. He looked at me as if to ask if I was serious. I raised my eyebrow to tell him that I was and he let out a laugh.

"I love you," he finally said before brushing his lips against mine. He kneeled down so that his face was right in front of my stomach. He lifted my shirt up and kissed the exposed skin on my stomach. I gasped as I felt his warm lips touch my skin. "I love you too baby," he whispered as he kissed my stomach once again. My heart melted at the sight of this scene.

I also kneeled down and cupped his cheeks. "I love you too. Both of you," I smiled before bringing his lips back to mine. We pulled away and rested our foreheads against each other.

Suddenly, Dimitri and Nyte shot the front door open. "Hurry Bella, they need you. Four of their wolves are hurt and Terra says that neither hers or Damien's healing powers are working on them. Mine aren't either," Dimitri said seriously.

"No," I whispered. "We'll be there, come on Flame," I tugged on his hand. We ran to the forest and in the distance I could see four russet colored bodies lying on the cold, wet ground. San caught sight of us and his eyes were terribly worried. I ran even faster and knelt at the sides of the bodies. First, I lifted the ground to make four mud beds then I heated them to give the four boys more comfort.

"What's wrong?" I asked Terra.

"I don't know Bells, but it's not working," she looked like she was about to cry. Each body had several burn marks on their bodies. It was hard not to flinch at the gruel sight. I closed my eyes and touched one of them.

"That's Seth," Jacob informed. I nodded.

I tried to feel what was wrong with him. His blood was not pumping right. "You can't heal them because their blood is not pumping right. They're going in all different directions and it's causing it hard for them to breath," I told the earth elementals present. I closed my eyes once again.

I tried to reach the Mistress of Elements, for I certainly had no idea what to do. All of a sudden, I was back at the same field that I had chosen my fate. She appeared once again, looking as beautiful as ever as she walked towards me. "You have summoned me?" she asked.

"Yes Mistress. These wolves, they've been hurt and none of our earth elementals can heal them. What's wrong?" I asked.

"Wolves, you say? Are these Sam Uley's wolves?" I nodded. "I see your problem. Sam's wolves have the ability to heal fast. It's what causes earth elementals to be immune to them. A wolf's healing system is so fast, that an earth elemental cannot catch up to it. To heal them, you must have the power to slow down the healing of their bodies, be able to manipulate their blood, speak to them so that they understand what is going on in their bodies," she explained.

"How do… how do we do that?" I asked.

"There is no 'we' Bella. It is only 'you' or in your case 'I,'" she laughed at her inside joke. "As I was saying, it's only you who has the ability to do all three things. You have the wind element to help you stop the fast movements of their bones, the water element to slow down the flow of their blood, and the spirit element to talk to them while they are unconscious. You are the answer," she answered heartily.

You are the answer. Those four words rang in my head as I went back to reality.

Uh oh, what could that mean? I can sure as hell tell that the Mistress was not only talking about the healing of the wolves but something big that's about to come. What do you think? I'm sure my opinion doesn't count, after all, I am only the author xD. Bella sounds so hard core now. I like it. I just can't wait to see her kick some sparkly vampire butt. How about you?
