I haven't started the next chapter, so I will try my hardest to have it up by the end of the week. Thanks so much for your reviews.
The pain in my legs was still there. Slowly, faded, but still present. It was at a bearable level now. My eyes opened slowly, this scene seemed all too familiar, my hands immediately falling to my abdomen yet again. As my vision was blurry at first but began to sharpen. There were three figures in the room, Renee, Phil and Charlie.
"Dad," I whispered through a hoarse throat reaching for him, he quickly went to my side grasping my hand.
"Oh Bella," He whispered. "We thought we'd lost you, How do you feel?"
"Pain in my leg," I groaned, as I looked around the room again. There were instruments connected to machines, a few pads on my chest. A drip in my right arm, and a lot of beeps. "What's all this?"
"You fell down a flight of stairs," my mother spoke up. "Broke your leg," I looked at them, I knew what had happened, that most certainly wasn't it. But for Charlie's sake I nodded.
"My baby?" I asked out of concern. Charlie looked at me and kept a firm face on. "What's wrong?" The door to the room and opened and Carlisle entered with a board with documents on it.
"Allow me to explain," Carlisle said with his soft voice. He pulled out his doctor's pen and flicked a button on the side, waving a finger in my face as the light shone into each of eyes. "When you fell it placed a lot of stress on the placenta, we had to perform an induction"
"What does that mean?" I asked.
"We had to deliver your baby, you were conscious for most of the birth" Carlisle assured me. "It'll come to you as the medication wears off" I smiled weakly at him.
"Thank you Carlisle," I whispered. "Where's Matt?"
"Um," Renee answered; "He went to get something to eat," Carlisle chuckled at this. Charlie didn't notice, thankfully. I began taking off all the blankets and sitting on the edge of the bed.
"Bella, let me get you a wheelchair before you go anywhere," Carlisle spoke softly, walking over to the door and speaking to someone before coming back in. It was less than a minute later when they came back with one for me. He helped me out of the bed and into the seat.
"Thank you," I whispered, I was grateful to him. "Edwards outside," Carlisle spoke softly, my heart soared. I knew it was him, who had saved me. I knew he would be there for me. He wheeled me out, leaving my parents and Phil staring after us.
Edward quickly ran to me, Alice behind him with Jasper whilst Emmett remained seating with Rosalie beside him and Esme on his other side. He had both women's hands in his. He smiled at me lovingly. Maybe my dream was right about Emmett; he was like the big brother I'd always wanted even though I'd never showed it.
"Bella," Edward murmured as he knelt down and placed a soft gentle kiss on my forehead. His hand reaching around and running through my hair. "I've missed you so, so much,"
"Not as much as I've missed you," I whispered back as he once again pressed his lips to mine.
"Edward!" Alice groaned, "You aren't the only one who has missed her," and with that she pushed him out of the way and enveloped me in a hug. "Oh Bella!"
"I'd like to breath, Alice" I choked, she pulled away slightly laughing nervously as she hugged me once more only softer. "I missed you too,"
"I'm sorry for not getting there sooner," Alice apologized but I held my hand up. There was no way she could've known how bad it would have been.
"Its fine Alice," I whispered, "But I do want to see my baby," Edward stepped behind me as Carlisle led the way, pushing me through the halls. We passed many people, nurses, children, families, but we stopped when we reached a room that contained four babies each in an incubation tank. I looked at them all; there were two boys, two girls. I peered closely hoping to catch a glimpse, Matt was in there. He reached into a crib and held the baby closely. A smile appeared on my face. I was in awe. I'd created an angel, he looked absolutely gorgeous.
"He's beautiful," Edward whispered, "Just like his mother, he has your eyes."
Matt seemed to be in a world of his own as he hugged the child close. Edward fastened his hands on the handles to my wheelchair as he watched Matt pull our son closer to him and take a deep breath, he pulled back the blanket and inched his mouth closer. Barely within a blink of my eyelids, were Edward and Carlisle both in the room pulling my son out of Matt's grasp. I got out of my chair and went into the room as fast as I could, tears streaming down my flushed cheeks. Carlisle was now holding my baby as Edward had Matt pinned to the wall and I flicked a switch that made a curtain cover the entrance so no body could see inside.
His eyes had turned a bright red. The same red I'd seen in James' eyes. What had happened? Emmett appeared in the room from another entrance and walked over to where Edward was and helped pin him down.
"It was a last minute decision," he explained, "Alice only saw it as It happened," Leaning against the wall I inched my way over to Carlisle and held my hands out for my baby who was crying. He gently placed the child in my arms; I was too focused on the angel I was holding that I didn't realize Matt was dragged out of the room. Alice and Esme had made their way to my side.
"CARLISLE," I shouted in fear, there on his neck was a bite mark. That bastard had bitten him. Alice gripped her arms around me holding me tightly to stop me from falling. "What do I do?"
Carlisle quickly examined him, it was harder than normal.
"Carlisle!" I said with even more fear than before if possible. "What's happening?"
"The venom," He explained. "He's being changed," No, he couldn't be. He was just a baby. There had to be a way to stop it. "Bella," I looked at him tears streaming, "I'm not sure we can clean his blood, he is so young and doesn't have a lot of blood in his system to begin with, and do you want to risk it?"
I looked at him and then at Esme, her heart breaking. As if expecting her to tell me what to do. She didn't look at me, but I wasn't sure if I could live with a baby forever, but would I want to risk it, risk him not being able to regenerate the supply he would lose.
