Chapter 14: Dreams

Bella's POV

Right away I knew that my daughter had fallen asleep when her heart started to slow down. I walked in the direction that I heard her heart beating from. I was surprised when it led me to her son's room. I opened the door and saw her fast asleep in the rocking chair. She didn't look very comfortable so I gently picked her up and took her to her room.

I placed her underneath the blankets. Then I kissed her on the forehead and just watched her sleep. Sometimes I still could not believe that I had finally gotten my daughter back after so many years. But it was painful because she didn't know who I was. Really painful. I wish that she would just remember us already. I also hoped that she would remember just how she disappeared because it was killing me that I didn't know. We never understood how she could just simply disappear without a trace. Who could be smart enough to figure out a way to get past several vampires and a wolf? Who could physically be able to get past all of us and steal my daughter undetected? My eyes burned with the tears that they could no longer shed. What kind of mother am I if I couldn't even protect my own daughter? Something happened to her. Something I'm sure that I could have prevented. Something that I knew nothing about.

I heard Nelson crying back in his room. Before he could wake up Nessie I went to see what was the matter with him. I picked up the baby and right away he seemed to relax a little.

"He's hungry" Edward said from behind me. Had I been human he would have startled me.

"How do you know that?" I asked him. Surely he couldn't read his mind? I don't think a baby's mind is developed enough for Edward to be able to read his mind clearly.

"He's thinking of his bottle and Nessie's breast" Edward said in a very awkward kind of way. It was even awkward for me to think that my teenage daughter used to breastfeed him.

"I don't understand how he knows that that is what he needs" I remarked.

"Well he is part vampire. Carlisle has even said that he's venomous. I think that's why his mind is more advanced then other babies his age" Edward said. "either way he is really hungry"

I went and made him a bottle. As I was feeding him Edward stiffened up for some reason. He had an odd expression on his face.

"What's going on?" I asked him worriedly.

"She's dreaming" he said. Okay, now I was really confused. I didn't see any cause for alarm here. So what if she was dreaming?

"What is she dreaming about?" I asked hoping that he would clear up my confusion.

"Her birth" he said. "She's dreaming about her birth. She is remembering how she could not breathe and how she started kicking and accidentally hurt you. Then she saw me when I pulled her out. Then when she saw you soon after. Only you were human still"

I heard Nessie wake up. She was breathing heavily and her heart was beating faster then it normally would.

"She is thinking that it is just a really strange dream" Edward said.

A few minutes later Nessie fell asleep again.

"Do you think that she is remembering things?" I asked him. Hopefully this meant that it would not be long before she remembered everything.

"I don't know" he answered. "We will have to ask Carlisle and see what he thinks"

Then he went quiet and he tensed up again.

"What's wrong Edward?" I asked him again. Sometimes it was really frustrating that I could not read his mind. What wouldn't I give to be able to read his mind?

"She is dreaming again" he said.

Nessie's POV

I ran at my full speed through the forest surrounding my home. I felt so free.

"Hello there." An unfamiliar voice said behind me. I turned around to see a tall man dressed in all black staring at me with a fake smile on his face.

"Who are you?" I asked feeling scared.

"Don't worry my child. No harm will come to you if you just do as you're told." He answered. I shivered.

"Now come with me." He asked simply. I took a step back and shook my head. The man sighed.

"I wasn't asking I was telling!" He snarled as he grabbed my arms and injected me with something. This shocked me. Nothing could pierce my skin. I fell limp in his arms as he carried my paralyzed form towards a black van. I couldn't even move my mouth to scream to my family for help. He threw me into the back of the van as I heard a woman's voice calling my name frantically. As we speeded off down the highway. The howl of a pained wolf sounded in the distance which tore through my chest making me feel empty. I didn't know where these men were taking me but my eyes filled with tears as I thought that I would never see my family again.

I sat upright again. What is it with these strange dreams? Why do they feel so real? Why do I have the sense that they were more then just dreams? I didn't know but they were really scaring me.

I was afraid that if I went back to sleep I would have another odd ream and I didn't want that to happen. So in order to avoid falling asleep again and avoid thinking about these strange dreams I decided to watch TV.

Yet, those strange dreams remained in the back of my mind.
