Edwards POV

This is probably the most anxious I've been my whole life, which says a lot. I don't know how much longer I can wait to see her. Her beautiful, angelic smile, her big, playful eyes, her petite framed body, and I can't wait to just be around her. The energy that expels from every inch of her soul excites me. My Bella, My love, my heart surrounds me even when I'm miles away from her. I can never be free of her, and to be honest with myself I never want to. I just want to hear her voice, and make sure she is ok. I just need for her to tell me she is ok. I pictured many times on the trip here. I would walk into the room and a playful smile would spread across her face. The sexy laugh would escape her lips and she would run to me, arms open wide. Id reciprocate, opening my arms to hold her deep within them. When she reached me I would bury my face in her soft hair and whisper a million times of my love for her. She would look into my eyes and whisper back that she forgives me. Then this image shatters to a angry Bella, staring at me with hate filled eyes and pushing me away when I reach out to her. 'I do not want you. I realize now you are nothing to me.' The words I imagined over and over beat my heart and tear at my soul. My hopes are dashed in an instant and I cannot help but stifle a sob back from leaving my mouth.

My family did not deserve the worry I would place upon them if they knew the agony I was in at the moment. Something was terribly wrong with Bella. Jake wouldn't tell me. Everyone was trying very hard to block their thoughts from me. The Denali family left almost immediately and told us to call for them if we needed any help. Jacob was the worst though. His method of blocking his thoughts from me was picturing images of Bella in agony, tears rolling down her plump face, whispering words I can barely hear, but I know they are filled with sorrow. I have even begun blocking my own mind from reading his, or at least ignoring the torturous thoughts for the time being. Each time I see Bella in that light my heart breaks and I die a little each time, if that is even possible.

We would be there soon. We were making our way to Bella's area now, five minutes tops at the speed we are going. My whole self is filled with anticipation. Not only would I get to finally lay eyes on my Bella, I would learn what is wrong with her, and take that information to protect her to my fullest. My family was just as confused as myself. Rosalie was angry at having to chase after Bella this way, putting us in danger on the way, but she would come. She would never leave us behind that way.

Soon I could smell her. Her scent, as intoxicating as it was, filled the air and sent chills up my spine. That beautiful scent would stay with me for eternity, my life. Even when Bella is...gone I will always have her smell in my mind. As we reach the house I realize it is past midnight. There is no way I can go to the door. Her mother would probably die in shock and fear. We stopped a few blocks away and my family looked at me. Carlisle was the first to speak.

"This is your business, Edward. You should handle this alone, for now." Rosalie was quick to add her two cents.

"We came all this way; I at least want to know what was so important." Esme was the one to answer.

"Rosalie, this is between Bella and Edward. We shall find out soon enough, but for now give them some time and space." Hesitantly she stepped back and nodded towards me. Jacob did not wait long for an answer.

"No, I won't leave you with her alone." Everyone turned to the wolf who we all forgot about.

"I must do this Jake; if you are to come with me then get it over with." Again Carlisle stopped us before we could make our way towards her home.

"You said it yourself, Jacob, this is something that Bella needs to tell Edward himself. By your explanation I sense this as being a very personal thing. I feel you would be going back on your own words if you were to accompany him."

Jacob looked thoughtful before grudgingly shaking his head and announcing, "Go, now, before I change my mind." I stood there a few seconds organizing my thoughts. Rosalie quickly interrupted them.

"Well, get it over with then." Emmett reached out and grabbed her hand. I felt the peaceful sensation consume me, Jaspers work.

I nodded at them all and, following Bella's scent, made my way to what I assume was her window. Within fractions of a second I was in. I could hear her soft, steady breathing. Her hearts beat filled my ears and elation soared through my body. I could not keep my eyes off the form that was my love. All I could do was stare for I don't even know how long, everything else I allowed to be placed in the background of my thoughts, though a million raced through my head.

Eventually, right as I gained the use of my body back, Bella turned towards me and quickly jumped out of bed. I raced towards her, coming from behind, and placed my hand over her soft lips before she even had a chance to scream. My other hand was placed on her stomach to hold her to me.

In an instant I felt not only the strange, protruding hardness of her belly, which mystified me, but I felt a hard jab hit the palm of my hand. I could not think; I could not even blink. The millions of thoughts that were up to now occupying my head vanished and my mind was blank. I could come up with no words to say, no thoughts to process, nothing, I felt as if I had just lost my mind.

Suddenly the thoughts that had once evaded me came back, but one distinct thought stood out from the rest.

"You're pregnant." It was not a question, it was a fact. I slowly turned Bella to face me, never once removing my hand from her stomach. I slowly took my other hand from her mouth and stared at her, no words coming to mind other than those two significant words I had just uttered. Those two words echoed through the room. Bella looked down and I saw a single tear escape her eye before she nodded at me, believing I needed an answer. Maybe I did.

"Bella..." The sound of her name tore through my throat and came out in a sob. Could it be? Her face was so withdrawn. She lowered her head and wiped the tears from under her eyes.

"Is it...It couldn't be...Its impossible..." I swallowed the abundance of saliva that pooled in my mouth and continued through my nervousness, "Is it?" I nodded towards my hand placed on her stomach. All it took was a single nod and I broke down. Piercing sobs escaped my throat.

"Shh...Edward please you'll wake up my mom." I looked up from her belly at the sound of her voice, hushed my sobs, and looked back down at my hand.

How could this be? Its impossible, but is it really? No human has ever been this close to a vampire. No one has ever had the chance to...conceive. As I stared at my hand I thought about what lay beneath it. My child, our child was sleeping beneath it. I closed my eyes and concentrated on the tiny, yet vigorous heart beat that previously I did not notice. That was my baby. I have a baby. Me and Bella created a life. As impossible as it seemed, I knew it was true. Deep within Bella was the living soul of our child. He or she was alive, resting in its mother. Not some ruthless vampire such as myself, though this child's heartbeat differed from any other I've ever heard. Immediately I saw a little copperhead girl with big brown eyes staring up at me from her mother's arms. Joy caused my heart to soar. This was my child, my baby, right here. A smile broke across my face and I looked up from my hand to see the worried expression of Bella.

"I...I don't know what to say. This is...amazing." Her eyes widened in surprise and before she could hide it I saw the joy spread across her own face. Did she think I would disown my own child? I surely hope not. Suddenly my mind grasped the reason I had come here in the first place.

"Whats wrong, Bella? Is it the baby?"

"Jacob didn't tell you anything?"

"No, he said it should be for you to tell me, and I must say I agree."

"Oh...well, the baby needs blood to feed on Edward. That's the main problem. Jacob managed to steal some from a clinic a few months back, but im down to the last of it. When he doesn't get it, I get really sick and if I never get it then me and the baby will die."

"I will never let that happen Bella! Carlisle is a doctor; he can get his hands on as much blood as you two need."

"That's not it. I don't know how the baby is progressing. I cant go to a regular OBGYN because he is so different; it would raise to many questions."

"Well, problem solved, Carlisle can be your OBGYN."

A smile spread across her own face now and she threw her arms around me, "Oh thank you Edward. I knew you wouldn't let anything happen to us," Suddenly she released me and stepped back, "I mean the baby."

I looked at her confused and began to open my mouth to speak when she interrupted me. "I understand Edward; there is no reason to explain. You left and I can't expect us to miraculously be back together just because of our baby."

I tried once again to speak when she once again interrupted me. "No, really Edward. I know how old fashioned you can be, and I don't want you to feel like we need to be together just because I am pregnant."

I quickly spoke up before she could interrupt me once more. "Bella, no. I love you more then anything. Your very existence has filled my heart with so much love and happiness, and now this baby, I couldn't be any happier. I've been miserable without you. Every day I thought of you, and now here you are. On top of that you have now given me the greatest gift, our child. I never want to be away from you again, especially now. I want to be here to protect you and our child, and to love you and our child." I reached out for her and she came to me eagerly. I could feel the tears flowing from her face to my shoulder and I held her a little tighter, never wanting to let go.

"Oh Edward, you don't understand how much this means to me. I love you so much, and when you left I felt as if I was dead inside. The only thing keeping me going was the baby. I need you Edward. I cant live my life without you. I want to be with you. I want to raise this baby with you. I've dreamt about this moment and my mind played tug-a-war between you still loving me and you hating me, and now knowing that you feel the same way...I just don't know what to do. I only want to be with you."

I ran my fingers through her hair in a calming and loving gesture. Trying to soothe her pain and cleanse her soul. Tears of joy soaked my shoulder and I wished at that moment that I could cry, for the elation was building up so high in my body I could barely contain it.

The moment seemed to last forever until I remembered Alice's vision. I pulled Bella away from me and fear gripped me.

"The Volturi." Her face wrinkled in confusion.

"What are you talking about?"

"The Volturi are sort of like the leaders of the vampires. They reign over us, keeping the our existence hidden. Alice had a vision of them coming after you, us."

A stunned gasp came from her mouth. "What does this mean?"

I closed my eyes and held her a little closer to my heart, "I don't know but it cant be good."

I turned away remembering that my family and Jacob waited outside the walls. She grabbed my arm and turned me to face her.

"Please, don't leave me Edward."

I bent down and brushed a gentle yet passionate kiss across her sultry lips and replied, "Never."
