Chapter 21: Complete!

Bella's POV

"Bella, baby wake up we're landing." I heard James smooth voice in my ear. I opened my eyes and smiled. We were just getting to Jacksonville, and it was just past midnight, I felt exhausted. I stretched and sat up straight. I had slept the entire flight, but I felt like I hadn't slept in days.

"Great I'm getting sick, of course its when I come to see Renee." I said exasperated. James chuckled and kissed the top of my head. Renee insisted on picking us up, so she was standing there looking very similar to the way that Alice looks, well all the time. She was jumping up and down clapping her hands.

James leaned over and whispered in my ear, "Does she know Alice." I laughed loudly that we both thought the same thing. Mom swept me up in a big hug while Phil shook James hand. The men walked behind us with the luggage while I walked with Mom. She talked about everything that had happened since I had last seen her, even though she had told me on the phone already. I didn't mind, it had been so long. I loved listening to her talk and laughing at her absurd facial expressions.

Once we got to the house, Mom set us up in the guest room, and told us if we told Charlie that she let us share, she would deny, deny, deny. James and I both laughed and agreed to keep our mouths shut.

After getting ready for bed James and I snuggled up in bed and kissed slowly and sweetly, knowing we couldn't do anything more. I fell asleep to James laying his head lightly on my chest, listening to my heartbeat. I asked him why he did that and he told me. "Listening to your heart beat, puts me in an almost dream like state. You relax me completely and the closer I am to you, the easier it is to block the rest of the world out" It made me feel good that he could feel so peaceful around me.

The next day Mom created a bunch of indoor games for us, given James' 'condition' *snicker* We played scrabble, monopoly, risk, battleship. We cooked meals and ate and laughed. Poor James would have to choke up all the food at the end of the day… My poor vampire. I would have to make it up to him later.

As the sun went down, Mom, Phil, James, and Myself walked down to the beach which was right across the street. It felt wonderful on my feet and the moon looked huge. We were mostly quiet, both couples wrapped in there own world.

When we got back, we went to bed right away. I was so exhausted again, I had every intention of giving James a little lovin, but my head was spinning and I was a little nauseous. I knew I was getting sick.

The next day I woke up early, and ran for the bathroom, James was right beside me holding my hair out of my face, and rubbing my back.

I spent an hour in the bathroom, my mom had brought up ginger ale and soda crackers for me which helped a lot. We spent the day watching movies and talking. By 9, I was falling asleep against James. He carried me up to bed saying a quick goodnight. The 3rd day there went exactly the same I woke up and had to rush to the bathroom. James was looking at me weird and unsure. I just smiled and shook my head, telling him I'm fine. That night instead of James laying his head on my chest he laid it on my stomach. He gasped and sat up. Looking shocked and a little scared.

James' POV

I laid my ear against Bella's stomach, and heard a very light thrum in a rhythmic pattern. Holy fuck. I shot up scared shitless at what this means. Bella raised an eyebrow wondering what my problem was. I stared at her for a minute and put my head back down listening again. Sure enough it was there, a tiny heartbeat. A heartbeat that was not Bella's. A heartbeat that should have been impossible. I sat up again and put my hand on her stomach. "James seriously what's wrong?"

"Your pregnant Bella, your pregnant." I said shaking my head. I could hear Bella's heart kick into high gear. I thought she would be panicking but when I looked up I realized I was dead wrong. She was smiling and had tears in her eyes. I shook my head again. "How is this even possible? I thought vampires are sterile?" I asked more to myself. "I need to call Carlisle." I said before grabbing Bella's Cell phone and sitting up against the headboard. Carlisle answered on the first ring and I started talking immediately. "Listen Carlisle I'm sitting here beside Bella who seems to be pregnant, how is this possible? And will she be able to carry it, is it going to hurt her?" I spoke this all in one breath practically vibrating. Bella put her hand over my free one and I started to calm immediately.

"Oh… Wow… pregnant? Really? How peculiar. I don't know, I have only ever heard of one other case and that was several hundred years ago, and it had gone through many vampires and humans before me so I have no idea how much is true." I was nodding into the phone even though he couldn't see me. "I think you and Bella should cut the trip short, get back here tomorrow, I need to check on Bella and check her out." I agreed with him and hung up the phone.

I told Bella Carlisle wanted us back early to check the baby out and to make sure all was well. Bella agreed and fell asleep shortly after.

Bella woke up early the next morning with another wave of nausea, I really hoped Carlisle could prescribe something for that. Once she started feeling better she told Renee and Phil about our premature departure. Renee agreed that it would be best that she go to her family doctor. We left shortly after supper, as the sun was setting.

The trip seemed to take forever, for me at least. Bella slept the whole way. When we got our luggage Alice was out front looking very anxious. "I cant see you Bella, and James is blurry. I think maybe this baby has a shield too, and its stronger, because it is part vampire." Bella nodded in understanding.

"Well I'm fine Alice, I'm right in front of you, so stop worrying okay." Alice nodded and hugged her.

We drove back to the Cullen's house, since Carlisle had all the things he needed. An ultra sound machine, with sound so you can hear the heart beat, a sterile table, sterile tools to give her a pap… she definitely wasn't letting me stay for that, she told me this very clearly, and with a very red face.

When Carlisle called me back telling me it was safe, Bella was Laid out on the table, a paper blanket laying on her lower half and her black t shirt was lifted up to show off her stomach.

Carlisle squirted a jelly substance onto her stomach and Bella hissed and said it was cold. "I would warm it up for you Bella, but my hands are the same temperature as the gel." Bella laughed lightly and said it was fine.

Carlisle pushed some buttons on a big machine then grabbed a hand held device that was hooked to it with a cord, he ran the device over Bella's stomach and stopped when he found what he was looking for. It was a little thing that looked like a mini skeleton, it was very small, and a little dot was inside it and looked like it was flashing. Carlisle turned a dial and then our child's heartbeat filled up the room. Bella's eyes started to water and she reached out and grabbed my hand.

"That is your baby's heartbeat Bella. Everything looks normal, you seem to be about 5 weeks along. Now everything looks fine, but it may be a hard delivery. The sac looks thicker than a normal child, which means we may not be able to break it, it is part vampire so it could be as strong as our skin. If that is the case the baby may have to be pulled out while still inside the sac, then it will have to be pierced by something very sharp, possibly our teeth. Now I know that doesn't sound appealing, but I don't know how this works, I just know it would not be safe for you if we did it while the child was inside.

Bella looked scared, but you could tell she understood. Her next words surprised me and thrilled me all at once. "When is our due date?"

"Well it looks to be a normal pregnancy, so your expected due date would be May 29th." I was grinning like a mad man, and it suited Bella's grin perfectly. "If we do have to do a C-section, which will probably be the case, we will do it 2 weeks before your due date, so it would be May 15th." We both nodded and continued grinning.

The rest of the day we spent talking with the Cullen's We decided to leave to the Island before having baby, in case the child needed blood. It wouldn't be a good idea to have him/her around Bella's very human family. The tricky part would be, what do we tell her parents?

I knew they would both want to be there when Bella had the baby, and if she didn't tell them than we would have to leave early.

We had decided not to tell her family. What we would all go on vacation, and tell her family we would be staying there to finish school because she liked it so much, and even if they didn't like it - which they wouldn't- Bella was an adult, she could do as she pleases.

Bella Decided she wanted to spend some time with Charlie before she had to leave him. She decided no more sleepovers at my place, but I was still allowed to come there once Charlie was asleep.

I knew this was hurting Bella, and if I could make it so she could have another year like she had planned, I would.

But really, when does life ever go the exact way you want it. Bella pulled me close to her and kissed me gently. "I am sad that I am leaving Charlie, but James, I am having your baby. I am so happy that I can give you this chance, I know you never had a chance to raise your daughter, and I hope this makes up for it. I know this child will never replace your first child, nor do I want it to. I'm just glad you get a second chance. I love you so much." Bella leaned up and kissed me. I smiled down at her.

"Thank you Bella, I love you too and I really do feel like it is a second chance, even just with you and feeling your love made me feel amazing, and now that my child is growing inside of you…" I reached my hand down and ran it across her stomach, that had a very small bump, a human probably wouldn't notice it, I did. "I feel complete, after all this time, I finally feel complete. Thank you Bella, for your love and your forgiveness." She placed her hand on my cheek and kissed me again. Tears in her eyes. I wiped them away and pulled her closer.

Bella fell asleep seconds later, Mumbling my name. Always my name.

Okay there it is, it felt right, once I decided how I wanted to do it, it just started to pour out of me, I hope you guys enjoy, Next Chapter Soon.
