Chapter 11: And the World Falls Apart

Several months passed since the incident with Victoria happened. Bella sighed, she was getting ready for school. Esme watched the baby while we were at school. She hated it though, it made her on edge to be away from her son for so long. She sighed as she glanced at the clock, 2 minutes before the final bell rang. She counted it down until her attention was diverted. "Hm?" she perked her brows up. "I'm sorry… can you repeat that?" The teacher frowned, "Pay attention, Ms. Swan." Bella sighed, In two days she was no longer going to be known as, Ms. Swan. But, Mrs. Edward Cullen. She sighed at that, then her train of thought was pulled away once again, the bell rang. She quickly got out of her seat and headed for the door. "Ms. Swan, a word please." She sighed and turned back around, "Yes?" she tapped her foot on the floor softly, impatiently. "I understand things must be difficult for you right now, but you should pay more attention." She perked a brow, "You understand? I have a baby to get home too, a wedding in two days, not to mention school. So… I don't know if you actually understand or just trying to be sympathetic but… no thanks. I just want to get through school, so I can spend time with my family." He nodded, "Then you need to pay attention. Or I'll have to fail you for slipping grades." She looked at him in disbelief." Failing grades? I have a 4.0 grade average, I am not failing. You threaten me again, and you'll have a fight on your hands you'll lose." She turned and stormed out, Edward was at his locker as she walked towards him. "Unbelievable." He perked a brow, "What's wrong love?" he asked softly, "My damn English teacher is threatening me." He narrowed his eyes, "Oh?" she nodded, "Yeah. Telling me if I don't pay attention more he'll fail me. He can't do that." Edward shook his head, "No, he can't. But you should be paying attention in class love." She sighed, "Easier said than done, Love." She snapped at him. He perked a brow, "Calm down Bella. I didn't mean any harm…" she sighed and kissed his lips, "I'm sorry… just a little irritable right now." He nodded, "I can see that." She smiled some as he kissed the end of her nose, "Shall we?" she nodded, "Oh yes."

The trip home seemed to take forever, even with Edward driving. She didn't know why but she felt anxious, more than normal. And her stomach was in knots. She sighed as he held her hand. "You nervous about the wedding love?" she sighed once again, "A little." He smiled, "Me too." She smiled at that, at least she wasn't the only one. She couldn't help but smile, he was so full of confidence lately that it seemed to rub off on her. She kissed his lips and he smiled, "Throwing caution away today love?" he asked smoothly, "No, why?" he grinned, "Kissing me and obstructing my view of the road, very unlike you." She laughed softly, "Then, I suppose so. Can we go any faster?" He blinked at her, "Faster? Really?" she nodded, "Yes. I want to see our son…" He chuckled, "He's fine love…" she nodded, "I know… but I won't see him for a few weeks after the wedding, and … I want to get in all the time I can with him before then." She sighed and he chuckled, "Alright alright. Just don't tell your dad." She laughed and she could feel her stomach push into the seat and her spine, they had to at least be going 100mph. She sighed and gripped his hand, he slowed a bit and she frowned. He perked a brow and sped back up, "Ok, Ok." He chuckled, within seconds they were pulling up the drive.

She sighed as she looked at him, "Damn, I have to go into town. I'll be back in little bit." She kissed his lips tenderly, "Why's that love?" she sighed, "PMS?" He perked a brow and nodded, "Right…" She rolled her eyes, she thought it was funny he got all squeamish on the topic of menstrual problems. She laughed, he smiled at her, "Just be careful. The roads are slick." She nodded, "I will, I'll see you in a little bit. I Love You." She smiled and kissed his lips, "I Love You too, Mrs. Cullen." He teased, she rolled her eyes but smiled. "I love when you say that, you know that?" he nodded and laid the baby down in the crib to sleep. "I know. I just can't wait until it's official." She nodded, "Me too." She waved and walked out the door.

Bella sighed as she walked through the grocery store, she smiled as a text came through, 'I Miss You' it read, she laughed softly to herself, 'You're silly Edward, but I miss you too.' She texted back. She slowly walked to the checkout line, "Slow night?" the man behind the counter nodded, "Yes, unfortunately. I wish I was home, my son is turning one today." She smiled, "One. I can't imagine my son being one yet." She smiled, "I hope you can get off work soon to be with him." He nodded, "Thank You." She smiled and handed him the cash for the items she purchased. She slowly made her way to her car, night had fallen. She looked around slowly, then climbed into her truck and started the engine. It had began to snow gently, it was slushy though so it made the roads extremely slick. The speed limit read 55, but she was going about 30. Which was unlike her, but she was in a hurry to see her family. She glanced around for a brief moment as she began to head into wooded area. Her eyes scanned for deer. She began to slow as she seen a heard of deer cross in front of her, her back tires began to slide to the right, she lifted off the break to gain back some control. Her heart raced as she attempted to push on the breaks one more time, she gasped as she hit a spot of ice. Her truck crashed into a large buck that was caught in fear as it stared at her. She gasped, "Oh god… Edward." She closed her eyes as she hit it, her head smacked into the steering wheel. Everything went black. Slowly a dark figure moved from the shadows, his white teeth glistened in the moonlight as he grinned. He walked over to the truck grabbing Bella out of it. Her head was bleeding which made the man hiss lowly. The man slowly sunk his teeth into Bella's left wrist then forced himself to release, she made no sound. He quickly cradled her in his arms. He hissed as pushed her truck door shut, slowly he made his way behind the truck. He placed his foot on the bumper and pushed forwards sending the truck into a tree hard, the truck began to smolder then bust out into complete flames. He looked down at her, she still made no movement. He began to run deep into the forest with the motionless Bella.

Edward sighed and tried her cell once again. "Bella… Love, where are you?" he spoke into the phone. He closed his phone, "Edward!" Alice called out from downstairs quickly he ran down the stairs, "What is it Alice?" she looked at him terrified. "It's Bella, Edward… her truck… it's in flames, and I can't see her future." He began to breath quickly and heavily. A Low growl escaping his lips as he quickly headed for the door. It didn't take him long before he was on his way towards town but slowed as a Police barricade blocked the road. He could see Bella's truck. Slamming the vehicle into park he jumped out, "Charlie!" he yelled out as the officer in front of him began to stop him from proceeding, "Let him through. He's my daughter's fiancé." The man let him through, "Where's Bella?" he asked panicked, Charlie shook his head, "It doesn't… look good, Edward. The truck was a shell when we got here, a passing car called it in." Edward's panic grew, "Charlie…" Charlie looked up at one of the firemen, "I'm… sorry…" Charlie fell to his knees. "No… not my little girl." Edward froze, his hands balling up into tight fists. He turned and got back into his car, quickly he turned around. He couldn't smell a fresh scent anywhere, the only scent he did smell of hers he could smell was that of from the smoldering truck. He made his way back to the house, he silently walked in, "Edward…" Esme began, but he ignored her and walked up the stairs. Slowly he picked up his baby boy once he was in their room. Her scent was everywhere. He closed his eyes, cradling the baby. Soft sobs came from him as he sat down on the bed.

Several days passed, Bella had been pronounced Dead. Edward sat in the funeral home next to Charlie with his son cradled in his arms, he stared off as there was a empty closed casket. He closed his eyes and kissed the small sleeping baby's head. Charlie placed a hand on Edward's shoulder. He glanced up at Charlie with a weak smile, "…I'm sorry I didn't go with her…" he began, Charlie shook his head, "There wasn't anything you could have done, Edward. It was an accident." Edward closed his eyes again. "I should have been there… I knew she wasn't used to these roads…" Charlie gripped his shoulder, "Don't beat yourself up Edward…" he sounded like Bella. Soft sobs escaped past Edward's lips, Esme who was sitting behind him gently rubbed his back. Alice was just staring down at the floor. She was still trying to see something of a future for Bellla, but nothing. She sobbed after a few moments, and continued to sob until Edward handed his son to Charlie and knelt down in front of her, wrapping his arms around his sister. "I'm sorry, Edward." She whispered loud enough for him to hear, he nodded, "I know." He whispered back. Soft music began to play, 'Theme of Love' something Edward asked Charlie if he could play, Charlie agreed. Renee sobbed into Phil's shoulder, uncontrollably. Edward slowly made his way to the front. He looked at Charlie who nodded, Charlie asked Edward to say something. "…What can I say, about Isabella Swan…" he began, "She was a loving, caring person… daughter… friend… mother, and fiancé. Of course not in that order, more than anything and I'm sure everyone would agree. She was a loving mother more than anything." He bit his bottom lip and closed his eyes for a moment, swallowing back venom. "She'll be missed… by everyone." He sighed, "I love… Loved, her very much. We were to be married a day ago." He closed his eyes. "What can I say, about Bella…" he began again, "There's so many things I can say, things everyone knows. But… the fact that she-…." He looked down, "That she…" he closed his eyes and stepped down, he gently picked up his son from Charlie and whispered to him, "I'm sorry, Charlie… I can't…" he slowly headed for the door. Alice rose to her feet and watched Edward walk out. "What… my brother was trying to say was, even though we'll all greatly missed her… she wasn't only his fiancé but his best friend, and mother of their son that they both adore." Edward stood near the door, listening to Alice speak. "Thank You, Alice…" he whispered to his self. "But, before all that, she was a daughter, … a daughter to parents that loved her unconditionally." She gently wiped her eyes, even though there were no actual tears. Jasper gripped her hand gently. The song slowly came to an end, "Everyone in this room could say something about Bella, but I think the one thing that everyone would say that's the say would be… the fact that she was caring, shy, and just pushed through life. Until her son was born, he changed her world. She didn't just push through life anymore, she actually lived it. More fully." Charlie nodded in agreement as did Renee who wiped her eyes with a tissue. "So… I guess… Goodbye Bella, We all Love You, and we'll Miss You." Edward closed his eyes and opened his cell to the text he received from Bella, the last thing he received from her. 'You're Silly Edward, but I Miss You to." He closed his eyes, sobs coming from him once again as he walked out the door. Not looking back once.
