Bella's POV

I was afraid to close my eyes. I felt as if I wouldn't wake up if attempted to sleep just once. Even though my body ached and longed for it I wouldn't give in. I had to know my baby was okay, but I feared that the possibility of it being fine was unrealistic.

I held my stomach tightly, sobbing. I didn't want to be here. I just wanted to be home, In my own bed, no IV's, no heart monitors. Just me and Damon, side by side. I can't imagine how Damon would feel if I lost the baby.

He seemed really disappointed earlier and it made me fear that he wasn't telling me the truth, when that's all I could rely on at this point. I sat up slowly as the pain decreased. Damon's blood in my system seemed to be helping, but I didn't want to give it all the credit just yet.

Or maybe I just had to face the facts that if Damon hadn't of fed me his blood, I wouldn't be able to move like I am now. I would have been paralyzed in a frozen state. Still not knowing whether the baby survived or not.

I sat in the bed quietly. Waiting for someone to walk through that door, whether it be a doctor or a friend I barely knew. I just didn't want to be alone anymore. I saw my cell phone laying on the small table next to my bed. I grabbed it quickly and dialed an old friend's number. A number I could trust. The phone rang at least four or five times until I heard his soft voice answer. "Hello?" He asked.

"Jasper." I nearly cried out his name happily, but weakly. I missed him so much. It felt like I hadn't seen him in years.

"Bella?" He sounded surprised. "Are you okay?" He asked worried and then I frowned.

"I'm not okay." I admitted, tearing up.

"What happened. Where are you?" He asked franticly

"I... can't tell you.. I just wanted to hear your voice. I miss you so much Jasper." I whimpered.

"Bella, I miss you too. Please just tell me where you are. I want to see you." He demanded.

"I'm sorry, Jazz. I have to go." I knew if I staid on the line with him he'd ask more questions that I just couldn't answer.

"Bella, please don't go." He begged, but I hung up before he could say anything more. I cried heavily, laying my head back against the pillow. I knew it was a mistake calling, but I couldn't help it. All I wanted here right now was my family, but I was all alone. I didn't really have a family anymore.

I laid lifelessly on the bed, letting my mind go blank. I just wanted to forget everything.

Damon's POV

Katherine's phone call to Stefan agitated me. She went after Bella because of me. I was not going to let her win. Her threats never scared me. So why should I start letting them get to me now. I wasn't going to let her hurt Bella again.

I walked into Bella's hospital room, and saw her laying there. She looked depressed and tired. She had dark circles under her eyes, and her eyes were blood shot. I closed the door behind me, and sat next to her bed. "Bella, rest." I begged her, kissing her forehead softly.

"Every time I try sleeping, my dreams go back to the accident and I don't want to keep reliving the same thing over and over. I just can't do it. Even if I do sleep, it seems like i'm always waking up to bad news. I don't want hear anymore of it." She looked down, shutting her eyes tightly. I slowly grabbed her hand holding it gently.

"You've got to have hope." I whispered in hear ear, and she flinched herself away from me.

"Easier said then done." She said weakly.

"You're not in this alone if that's what you think." Bella rolled her eyes at me. "Listen I know you hate reliving the same night over and over, but will you tell me what happened?" I asked slowly and carefully.

"There... was this girl pretending to be Elena. She looked like she could be Elena's twin. She... wanted something."

"The moonstone." I finished her sentence for her. She nodded slowly and took deep breath in.

"She gave herself away... i don't remember how. But i immediately ran because I was afraid. I ran up the steps and before I could grab a phone, she was there in front of me. She... threw me down the steps and i could feel... my head repeatedly hit each wooden step until my body finally stopped moving. She said compelled or not compelled she'd get the moonstone from me. I never knew what it looked like."

"She jabbed her healed shoe into my stomach, and then... disappeared. That's when everything went black." She began to sob. I tried wiping her tears away, but they continued to fall.

"Bella, I promise that I will not let her hurt you like that ever again." I whispered.

"Who is she Damon?" She begged me to tell her.

"Her name is Katherine, and I don't think this is the first time you two have met." I admitted.

"What do you mean?" She asked confused.

"She compelled you to help her find the moonstone once before." I said looking down at the ground.

"Wait... I would have remembered that, wouldn't I?"

"She compelled you to forget." She let out a confused sigh, and began to tear up. I could she had, had it. "Bella you need to get some rest." I whispered softly in her ear.

"What I need is to know that my baby is okay." She snapped.

"Listen I will see if the doctor can give you an ultra sound tomorrow. Right now your in no condition to do anything but rest."

"I can't." She whispered. I didn't want to have to compel her, but she wasn't giving me much choice. If the baby was okay, it was gonna need it's rest too.

"Sleep." I compelled her. She slowly closed her eyes and fell asleep.

I walked outside and saw everyone slowly get up and move towards me. "How is she?" Elena asked blankly.

"She's tired, she needs to get some sleep." Elena nodded and pulled me aside.

"Damon, we need to talk."

"Can it wait?" I asked stressed out.

"No, it can't." I sighed heavily.

"What is it?" I raised my brow curiously.

"I want to apologize, for the way I acted a while ago. I wasn't being sensitive to what was going on with you and Bella when I should have been. Do... you know if the baby is.. going to make it?" She asked hesitantly. I shook my head no.

"It's more than likely the baby won't survive, and I think Bella knows that. It's just trying to accept it is the hard part."

"I am so sorry." She hugged me close to her.

"Thanks for caring." I muttered and pulled away from her. I knew that tomorrow was going to be very stressful for both me and Bella.
