EPOV
I heard the first cries of our beautiful baby, and I knew I was in heaven. What I didn't know was that heaven wouldn't last. A small change caught my attention. Bella's heart. It slowed. And it started making a strained noise.
Alice burst in. "Bella's having an aneurism in her brain!" She screamed at me. "I just saw it! She's going to die!"
I suddenly found the only solution. I didn't pause to think about it. I just did. I sunk my teeth into her sweet neck, feeling my venom enter her bloodstream. I knew that I had to bite near the heart as well, to make sure that she made it through the transformation fully before she died from an aneurism than my venom. I sunk my teeth into her chest, and felt the venom flow. I didn't pull back immediately. I was fighting the bloodlust, but I wanted more venom to enter her bloodstream to make it even quicker. Finally, I pulled back and looked around.
Carlisle was injecting painkillers into Bella's arm to help with the pain. Alice was standing at the end of the bed, holding a tiny baby. She was smiling when she looked up at me. "It's a girl," she whispered. "It's a baby girl." As she said this, the baby began crying. I felt tears forming at my eyes as I strode forward to claim her from Alice.
"Elsie," I said, smiling down at her. "Bella said in her sleep that she wanted to name a baby girl Elsie." A movement from Bella's bed distracted me. Her eyes were closed, but she began muttering about fire and twitching. "So it worked?" I asked Carlisle.
"Yes. It worked." His eyes were full of sorrow. "I'm only sorry that it had to be like this. I think she would have liked to see her daughter." He walked around the bed to look at Elsie. He let out a small chuckle. "She has Bella's eyes." He smiled down at the tiny baby.
"Carlisle, thank you. This is everything I could have ever wanted."
"Don't thank me. I only acted as a doctor. I think you should really thank yourself and Bella. The both of you made this happen." He smiled at me. "But we need to take Elsie to Pediatrics to have her checked out and observed. I'll go with her, you stay with Bella. She needs you."
And so I did. I sat beside her, watching her writhe on her bed, murmuring about fire and pain. Slowly, it subsided, and I knew she would wake up soon. Carlisle had brought Elsie back to me so that I could hold her. He managed to find a rocking chair to replace the chair I had been sitting in for the past 24 hours, and I sat there, rocking our child. She looked just like Bella when she was asleep, so peaceful. I heard a moan and looked up.
"Bella," I whispered, standing up carefully, so as to not wake Elsie. I bent down to her ear. "Come back to me, love. I'm right here. Open your eyes." Then, as if by command, her eyes opened. They were blood red. But there was something in Bella's expression. She sat up slowly, as if testing herself. She looked at me and smiled. And then she looked down at our baby. Her smile got even brighter.
"Edward. Look what we did." She was still grinning at Elsie. "Our little miracle." She looked up at me. "On the plus side, I don't have the overwhelming urge to eat her."
A/N: So, now you see the plot twist. So for the next chapter. What happens when they bring the baby home? And what does Bella's power happen to be? And who will be waiting for them when they arrive back home? All that and more in Chapter 12.
I hope you're enjoying. Three chapters in one day. Lucky ducks. So, comments comments. It's bed time for the human now. Damn, I wish I was a vampire. And had an Edward of my very own.
