Chapter 21

"Nessie!" I shrieked.

My throat felt incredibly dry. Carlisle was outside immediately and kneeling down beside Nessie. Edward had placed her onto the ground and felt her pulse.

I could hear her heartbeat. Her usual, very fast heartbeat was now even slow for a human.

"Her stomach was bruised before," I suddenly remembered.

Carlisle quickly ripped her shirt out of the way and now Nessie lay in a bra in front of us.

If she was awake she would have been freaking embarrassed out of her mind. But she wasn't awake. That's what scared the crap out of me. And that's why I was actually okay with allowing Carlisle to rip her shirt off.

Jacob's face was covered in all kinds of worry. He had tears in her eyes and his mouth fell open at the same time the rest of ours did.

Nessie's stomach had grown a lot bigger than it was. I hadn't noticed it earlier because her shirt wasn't up all the way. And her shirt was loosely cut at the bottom so I thought that the shirt was making it that big.

"Were wolves grow at a fast pace," Carlisle said. "Plus if you add in the vampire part of it that made Nessie grow inside Bella within a month then you get a baby that grows this fast. It's coming now. We have to cut it out of her."

Edward's eyes grew wide and he suddenly zoned out. I realized he was remembering what had happened to me when I gave birth to Nessie.

His eyes grew so wide and he started sobbing. "Jacob can you handle being around her while she's bleeding? You won't want to drink her blood."

Jacob seemed to remember what happened with me too. "No," he whispered as tears streamed down his face. "I don't know if I can."

Jeff stepped forwards. "I can give you all better control," he said.

Carlisle looked up at Jeff. "Do you think you can handle making us all have control?"

"I'll do my best," Jeff replied.

"Well in that case I need Rosalie, Alice, and Jasper."

"What about me?" Emmett questioned.

"Keep Edward, Bella and Jacob away from my upstairs office. That' where we are taking her."

"What?" Edward shouted. "No!"

Emmett took his arm and I slowly bent down and kissed Nessie's head. "I love you baby," I whispered.

I then turned around and followed Edward and Jacob into Esme's house.

Edward and I stayed silent for a full hour, just holding each other. Jacob paced the room like an idiot. Emmett just stared at us.

He must have decided that the mood had to be lightened because he finally said, "So, you got the girl pregos. How many times did it take to do it?"

Jacob blushed and began to tremble with anger all at once.

I growled loudly and dove at Emmett's throat. Emmett gasped as I landed on him and held my hands around his neck.

"Relax," Emmett said. "I was just trying to make conversation."

The next second Edward was next to us and prying me off of Emmett.

"Bella," he whispered in my ear. "I know you are upset. But we need to just relax."

I glared at Emmett murderously and then realized that Edward was right.

"I'm sorry," I whispered shamefully.

"It's all cool sister," Emmett said, holding his hand out to fist punch me.

I awkwardly fist punched him and then fell back into Edward's lap and hid my face in his neck.

"You know," I heard Emmett whisper to Jake, who was slowly calming down. "You still haven't answered my question."

"I can hear you!" I shrieked.

"Once," Jacob spat at Emmett, and moved past us to go into the bathroom.

My mouth dropped open.

Once? And he got her pregnant?

Edward was staring at Emmett with an angered look on his face.

I moved my shield away.

What is he thinking? I thought.

But Edward didn't answer. Instead he clawed his fingers into the couch and ground his teeth together.

I realized that he wanted to attack Emmett just as much as I wanted to not so long ago.

"Take a breath," I whispered. Then I looked up at Emmett. "Go check on Nessie, will you?"

Edward's eyes flashed to mine and then back to Emmett. "Do what she says," Edward commanded.

Emmett turned his head to the side but then just shrugged and walked off.

"He was thinking about what he was going to do with Rose tonight," Edward growled.

"No offence," I murmured. "But they are his thoughts. You are the one who shouldn't be listening in on them."

Edward turned to me and growled a low growl. "I can't block out thoughts Bella! I can't control whether I hear them or not! They all know to watch their thoughts! And right now I hear so many voices in my head! I can hear Carlisle barking orders through Rosalie's mind! I am hearing way too much!"

I slowly moved my shield so it would block out all the thoughts from reaching Edward's mind.

"Thank you," Edward sighed in relief, and fell over so that his head was resting in my lap.

"She'll be alright Edward," I whispered.

"How do you know that?" Edward whispered.

"I don't," I said. "But I can hope."

"We all hope," Edward whispered. "But you saw what a half vampire did to your body! What do you think a vampire/ werewolf could do to her body?"

"It is part human. Plus you thought Nessie was wrong at first and look what we got out of her. We love our daughter. And she'll love her… baby."

Suddenly there was a loud shriek from upstairs.

"Nessie," I whispered.

"Pull the shield away!" Edward commanded.

"W-what?"

"The shield!" Edward screamed, pushing my arm slightly to really get my attention.

I quickly pulled the shield away and Edward focused his eyes on everyone's mind upstairs and he sighed and leaned into the couch,

"What?" I said. "What did you here?"

"She's okay," Edward said, a smile playing on his lips. "She had the baby. It's a boy."
