Chapter 11: Bones Re-broken

Nessie's POV

I woke up to the sound of my son crying. I already knew that meant that he was in pain. I got up and quickly followed the sound of his crying. It didn't take me very long to find him. He was in the hospital like room. Jacob was holding him and trying to soothe him.

"What happened?" I asked.

"Carlisle decided to give him a few more shots" Jacob said. "The poor little guy didn't like them one bit"

I didn't like listening to my son crying like that. It really broke my heart. I wanted to cry myself. But I knew that it was for his own good that he got shots.

Carlisle then appeared. Then I remembered that I was supposed to have my arm re-broken so that he could set it properly in order for it to heal correctly.

"So Nessie, are you ready to have your arm re-broken?" he asked as if he could read my mind.

I gulped. "If I said no would you still go through with it?" I asked. My voice was shaking in fear of the oncoming pain.

Carlisle just smiled at me. "Don't worry I will give you a really strong pain killer that way you will not a feel anything" he said. I instantly breathed a sigh of relief. Although I still felt somewhat anxious.

"I promise that I will work as quickly as I can so that we may get this over with as fast as possible" Carlisle said.

"and I will be here with you if that makes you feel better" Jacob added.

"Thank you. Both of you" I said. Their words managed to make me feel somewhat better.

I waited as patiently as I could while Carlisle prepared everything for my 'procedure'. I really wished that he would get started already! I watched as he got a needle and some medicine. I watched as he injected the medicine into my arm. It only took a few minutes for my arm to be completely numb.

I closed my eyes and squeezed Jacob's hand when the procedure started. Maybe it was all in my head but I swear I could feel my bones cracking when Carlisle broke it.

"Okay we're done" Carlisle said.

I opened my eyes slowly. I looked at the cloak and saw that only ten minutes had gone by. "Were really done?" I asked.

"I told you that this would be over quickly. Now young lady, I want you to rest today. You let me know the moment that you start to feel any pain and I promise that I will come and give you more medicine. Okay?" Carlisle said.

"Okay" I answered.

Carlisle gently laid me down so that I may rest more comfortably. Not once did Jacob leave my side. He was there the whole time holding Nelson. I eventually fell completely asleep. When I woke up it was late afternoon. I felt extremely well rested. Jacob wasn't there anymore when I woke up. I got up slowly and started walking around. To my surprise my arm only bothered me a little. Maybe Carlisle had given me more medicine while I was asleep? Then I realized that I would have felt him inject me with a needle. Maybe I'm just lucky.

I was surprised when I walked around the entire house and saw that no one was there. Not even Nelson. Wherever the Cullens had gone they took my baby with them. I guess that explains why I was able to sleep so long.

I waited for a while to see if they would come back but they didn't. I got up and walked out of the house. I felt like I really needed fresh air. I kept on walking until I reached the street and then I just followed the road to the main city.

Sometimes when people saw me they ran of clutched their purses and wallets closer to them. This made me want to cry. But what could I expect? I've robbed people in the city for over ten years. Some of these people I have stolen from multiple times. No doubt that they would remember my face. Even though I had my reasons for doing what I did and even though I had changed my ways they would forever think of me as a thief; a robber. So they would forever treat me and react to me that way.

I continued to walk down the city that I knew so well. Everywhere I went I was reminded of my old life. The people, the places, and even the trashcans and dumpsters that I would constantly raid in hopes of finding a few scraps of food.

Then I went to the library. It had been a while time since I last went to the library. The last time I went was before I had given birth. I spent at least a good hour at the library before I finally checked out two books.

As I was walking I saw Adam again. I sighed in annoyance. I really didn't want to have to deal with him again.

I looked at him again and I had to do a double take. Something about him had changed. He was taller. He had to be over half a foot taller. It made no sense since I had just seen him yesterday.

Surprisingly he he was also alone. This is the first time I've ever seen him without a girl. That would change soon. Maybe he got some other girl pregnant and then left her. He's just like his father.

Well I've never met his father Joshua Uley. Adam had said he left him and his mother when he was young. Like father like son I guess. All I knew is that I was going to end that streak with my son. I was going to teach Nelson to respect women.

I watched as Adam walked out of sight without once noticing me.

"Nessie!" I heard someone scream. I turnes around and saw Jacob running toward me.

"There you are Nessie. You nearly gave us all a heart attack why would you leave like that?" he asked as he held me close to him. "You really scared me. I thought something bad happened to you"

"I'm sorry. I just needed some fresh air" I said.

"Come on. The others are worried sick about you. Even Nelson seems to miss you" he said.

That was all that I needed to hear.
