Alice's P.O.V.

I plunged my hands forward, protecting myself from the gray wolf's furiously sharp teeth. I focused on keeping his snapping muzzle away from my neck; all he needed was less than a second of my neck exposed, and that second would be all the time he needed to separate my head from the rest of my body. I kicked him in the chest with my legs, trying to throw him off, but it was no use against his power and weight. My eyes widened as terror suddenly seized me; my phone continued to buzz, but there was nothing it could have done or me at this point, even if I could retrieve it from my pocket.

Still not giving up, I raked my long finger down the side of his muzzle, withdrawing a rotten-smelling blood. His eyes squeezed in pain as he barked out in rage. Taking the only opportunity I had, I kicked him again, this time in the stomach, and flung his body back out of the window he'd jumped through to get to me, only there was no longer any glass there. I turned, ready to race back up the stairs to catch the thieving werewolf that had Bella's baby, when another dog, a russet wolf this time, thrust himself at me, and I could feel the floor groan in protest as we almost fell through it.

The gray wolf rushed right back in by the red wolf's side as he held me down with his paw. Even with his wolf face, I could see the smug look of triumph; he knew he had me, we both did. Knowing there was nothing I could do against both of the wolves to save myself, I just prayed; just praying they would make it quick, praying that Jasper would avenge me, praying that Edward did everything in his power to not let Bella go.

The wolf standing on me raised his head, his teeth bared and I closed my eyes. Still protecting my neck, I buried my face in the floor and pictured Jasper's face, seeing what he was doing now, seeing one last-

The mutt holding me down yelped out seconds before the other did just the same. I whipped my head around in a fourteenth of a second, just in time to see Carlisle and Edward their bodies crushing into the wolves as they forced them out of the hospital. I was up in a millisecond. I followed them out of the window and stood by them, baring my fangs at the wolves as they stood up. They growled back at us, the russet wolf drooling he wanted to kill us so badly. But before they had the chance to leap back at us again, another wolf, far in the distance howled at the darkening sky. Digging his claws into the ground, the russet one turned away for a split second, then turned back at us, and looked right at Edward. I took a step toward him, protecting my family, but Edward held his hand out, holding me back.

"Don't." he warned, hearing something we didn't. I turned to him, shocked for a second, and turned back to the wolf that was eying him so hatefully. I understood then that this wolf was probably Jacob; the look of pure hatred he gave Edward, wanting to kill him so badly that he didn't even focus on Carlisle and I... It made sense.

"What is it, Edward?" I said lowly, still ready to attack if it became necessary. My phone buzzed for what seemed like the hundredth time. I pictured Jasper, and of course I just saw him calling me again and again, Emmett telling him to calm the hell down. I wanted to pick up and reassure him that I was okay, but now still seemed an inappropriate time to talk to him with the wolves and all, so I continued to ignore it.

Edward stiffened, letting him arm down as his eyes narrowed. Jacob growled at him once, and Edward swallowed. "The treaty is broken." he said quietly, and Carlisle's eye brows pulled together then in concern.

"On what grounds?" Carlisle demanded, still watching the wolves warily. His voice was peaceful as it always was, but at the same time, it wasn't a soothing and sweet voice that he used. It was blatantly obvious the answer, so I couldn't help but wonder why Carlisle even bothered asking. Jacob growled angrily back at him, and it was clear that Jacob wasn't a fool; or he just wasn't being one now anyway.

"Bella's heart was failing, there was no other choice." Carlisle responded back, the three of us still crouched and ready to battle.

"And I suppose you'd rather her have died." Edward scoffed a second and a half later, directed toward Jacob, and instead of answering in his head as he had done up to this point, he simply nodded in response. Edward was furious; I saw the look then, that look Edward had every time before he went into another room to destroy a tv or which ever poor item it was that was nearest. I knew that look all to well.

"Edward don't." I said quickly, holding him back as he snarled hatefully at Jacob for wanting Bella dead. Had I not been faster than him, there's no way I would have been able to hold Edward back from starting a nasty fight. "Think about Bella." I warned him, imagining the wolves successfully ripping us to shreds, then entering the hospital to do the same to Bella.

Edward stopped struggling then, taking in what I'd pictured. Though it was not one of my visions, it could seriously happen if we weren't careful. He grimaced, considering his options, then pulled away from me, taking a step toward Jacob.

"She doesn't deserve this." he muttered, shaking his head. He looked back to Jacob then, anger still visible on his face. "Fine." was all he said. My eyes shot to him for the smallest part of a second, wondering what he'd just agreed to. But before I could ask, Jacob huffed, then ran off with the gray wolf, not looking back.

Edward stood back up, but Carlisle and I both hesitated before standing from our crouch positions as well. We both turned to Edward then, wondering the same thing. Reading our minds, he answered our questions before we could say them aloud.

He sighed, looking in the exact place that the wolves had disappeared seconds before. "They only agreed not to attack..." he swallowed, looking to the ground now.

"What son?" Carlisle asked.

Again, Edward looked toward the wolves direction, his fists tightening in anger. "They agreed not to attack if we agreed in return, to surrender Bella's child... permanently." he said each word carefully, his teeth clenched. I couldn't hear his thoughts as he could mine, but I knew him enough to know that he was hating himself now.

"Why not fight?" I said immediately, more than ready to rip the fur from the wolves that had attacked me just minutes before. "It's Bella's child!" I squeaked, unbelieving that Edward would agree to such a thing.

Edward looked to me then, and I realized then that he probably knew something I didn't. "They're prepared now." he responded simply.

My eyes widened, taking in his words, understanding the logic to agreeing to the mutt's obscure conditions. I couldn't see what would become of it with my special gift, but I knew now that starting a fight now, as separated and outnumbered as we were, would end tragically. But starting one later... when the dogs weren't ready... our chances were suddenly a hell of a lot higher.

I chased Edward back into the building, knowing that he was heading straight for Bella.

"But what about Ryan?" I asked him, taking the flight of stairs in less than a second. He turned back to the shattered window, narrowing his eyes.
Carlisle came through the window then, looking back at Edward.

"I need to tend to Bella." he said, "Do you mind making this an accident?" Carlisle asked him. Edwards fists tightened, and I knew he desperately wanted to be with Bella as much as he could.

"I'll do it." I said quickly, and jumped back outside the window before Edward could object.

"Thanks." he mouthed to me, continuing back to the second floor with Carlisle. I sighed and looked around at the many trees, searching for the right one. I found a tall oak and gripped it, not able to wrap my small arms fully around the trunk. I closed my eyes, making sure first that no humans and unexpected surprises were coming my way before pulling the trees roots from the ground with ease.

I set the top half of the tree in the window carefully, making it to look as if the tree had miraculously fallen into the hospital somehow. Humans really were naïve...

My phone buzzed in my pocket again, and I remembered that Jasper was probably still having a panic attack. I pictured him before picking up the phone, only to see that he was both angry and worried. I sighed quietly, then hit the 'answer' button before placing the speaker to my ear.

"Do you know how worr-"

"I know." I responded, bouncing off my toes and using my free arm to sling myself back into the window, avoiding accidentally hitting the tree.

"Something could have-"

"I know." I said again. I knew it annoyed him that he could hardly finish a sentence being that i always knew what he was going to say, but I knew he liked it to. I smiled to myself as I bounded the stairs in one leap. "Sorry sweety." I said in a pouting tone, knowing that he also loved that.

Jasper sighed, finally calmed. "Don't do that again... please." he said. "I can't see if you're okay like you can."

"I know." I said, smiling at how cute it was when his Texas-accent mixed with his stress. It made me miss him.

Finally dropping the topic, he moved on to the wolves. "The mutts left. They just left with no fight. I think they're up to-"

"Come back to the hospital, I'll explain everything to you... Bella's on the second floor." I added the last part, already knowing he was about to ask about her.

"Is... Edward okay?" he asked, concerned for his brother.

"He's fine. I'll explain everything when you're back." I said again, slowing down to a human speed before getting close enough to where Edward could hear me. I closed my eyes to watch Jasper's reaction before actually telling him, then after seeing his reaction, decided that it was okay to go ahead and tell him. "He saved Bella." I said quietly, in case Edward could hear me. I closed my eyes then to watch his reaction.

Jasper stopped where he was, taking in what I'd said. Emmett, several dozen feet ahead, was in front of Jasper in less than a second. "What happened?" he asked, looking around for wolves. Jasper didn't respond. Rather than respond, Jasper just stood there.

"Is... I thought..." Emmett continued to pester Jasper for information, Jasper simply swung at him lazily, trying to shoo him off as he stared at nothing in particular.

I reopened my eyes and continued back to Bella's hospital room, walking at a human pace. "He's okay... but everything will work out. I can see it." I lied right through my teeth, grateful that Jasper didn't catch it; I saw Bella, and I saw her with Edward, but they were not together, at least not in the way that a couple would be. They were apart, both of them more miserable than I'd seen yet. And to top it all off, Bella's child was not in the picture, I knew because if he was there, he would keep me from seeing anything. But all of my visions were perfectly clear; not a sign of Bella's child. I gulped.

I took my place again across from Bella's room as I had already done several times today and sighed. Having nothing else to do as I waited, I closed my eyes and mentally blocked out all noises, focusing as best I could on-

"Can I get you anything, darling?" All in less than a second, I stiffened, visioned what the nurse was going to say, and groaned to myself in annoyance. I opened my eyes and smiled in even less time.

"No thank you, I'm fine." I said in the sweetest voice I could muster for her.

"Don't you-"

"I actually just returned from lunch, so I will not be needing anything to eat for a while." I interrupted her. She seemed a little taken aback that I'd answered her question before she could even bring up the food thing again. Simply nodding, she walked her slow human pace back to the nurses desk and proceeded to ask her co-worker friend 'Betty' if she seemed annoying. I honestly couldn't feel bad for damaged the poor woman's self-of-steam at the moment, at least not with all that was on my mind at the moment.

I refocused myself, leaning my head against the wall behind me. Knowing that there was no possibility of seeing the future of Bella's child,I jumped to Bella. I saw her red eyes open as she awoke in a few days, not being enough, I jumped further into the future, seeing Edward and Bella sitting beside each other, both of them ruining perfectly good clothes on the damp ground they sat and talked on. Shaking my head, I went even further, seeing the both of them again, only this time, they were arguing. Quickly, not wanting to see what they fought about, I searched even further. The entire family, including Bella was headed for La Push, and I knew I'd finally found-

"I saw the window, what the hell happened?" Jasper demanded, suddenly beside me.

Scoffing, I looked to him, and he sensed my annoyance immediately. "I swear, every time I try to see something someone or something always interrupts!" I pouted, crossing my arms.

He waited a few seconds for me to recover from my pouting before asking again. "The window?" he pressed.

"Tree fell into it." I shrugged simply, but he was not convinced.

It was Emmett that responded this time. "Oh come on Alice, we've used that tree-excuse enough already to know that we missed a good fight!" He grinned madly, his eyes demanding details.

When I said nothing, Jasper just grew more impatient. "Alice, what happened?" he asked again.

"A. Tree. Fell." I said again. He threw his hands up in frustration, rolling his eyes. "Ask Edward!" I commanded him, nudging my elbow across the hall to where he was, but he only ignored it.

"Are you really not going to tell me?" he asked, watching me until I met his eyes with mine.

"Where's Rose and Esme?" I asked curiously. Putting his head in his hands, Jasper just leaned on the wall beside me.

Emmett laughed at Jasper's episode and answered for him. "They're on mutt-duty." he said, scribbling something in the dust on the picture hanging up beside him. Out of habit, my mind flickered to Esme and Rosalie, making sure they were okay as they watched for wolves. Seeing that they were fine, I studied a small crack in the wall that humans probably couldn't see without some type of tool. Realizing that almost a full minute had passed, I looked to the nurses station to see that the nosey nurse was staring at us oddly. She looked away then, shuffling through random papers.

I sighed. "One of the mutts stole Ryan."

"Ryan?" Jasper questioned.

"Bella's child." I explained, and when he didn't respond, I went on. "And another one of the dogs... kind of went through a window to try and keep me from getting him back. That's all." I shrugged. Jasper groaned before I'd even finished.

Emmett bursted out in laughter as he continued drawing in the dust with his pale finger. Jasper nudged him in the side, hard enough that it would have put a human in one of the near-by hospital rooms.

"God Alice, and you did this alone?"he demanded.

"Calm down, Carlisle and Edward were on the next floor, it's not like anything happened." I argued, but Jasper just shook his head. "I knew I shouldn't have told you. You worry too much."

"Wolves jumping out of windows-"

All three of us turned as Edward left the room, Bella looking thin and frail in his arms as he carried her. He nudged his head toward the nurses station, wanting us to distract them. Emmett went immediately, and I rolled my eyes when I realized that his big distraction was 'flirting' but somehow, it worked. Edward was on the next floor in a third of a second.

I looked to Jasper then, taking his hand in mine. "You're still in trouble." he smiled. Seeing that it would work, I kissed him, then pulled away, looking deeply into his eyes.

"Okay, not that much." he reasoned, and I was satisfied. As we walked, I looked curiously to the picture Emmett had drawn in the dust and immediately groaned in disgust. "Emmett!" I spat as I wiped the inappropriate drawing with my sleeve. He only laughed in response.

"I'm telling Rose." I said smugly, and his eyes widened immediately. Jasper and I laughed as we walked together, heading back home. The home that was now Bella's as well.
