"Jacob, you have to get down here right now," A panicked call in the middle of the night from Alice, which was never good. It sent shivers down my spine, as soon as I realised it was her calling and as soon as she said that. Bella had gone to stay with the Cullens for the weekend, because she hadn't been to see them for a little while. I didn't mind, I had come to accept the fact that they were part of her life, even if I didn't like it. I would just have to get over it and live with it, it was never going to change so why try and stop it anyway?

Bella was now 6 months gone, already showing her bump, and it wasn't just small. I didn't think she'd be showing by now, but apparently she is. I walked in on her the other day, sat talking to her stomach, it was sweet. I stood there listening as she spoke gently to it, with a small smile on her lips. Ever since everyone has been fine with the whole thing Bella has brightened to the idea of having a small child growing inside of her, in fact I think she is overwhelmed by the fact, in a good way. I must say I am as well, I love the thought that my little baby was growing inside of Bella.

We cuddled up on the couch most nights now, in front of the television, my arm around her, my other hand resting on the her stomach. Her hands were generally on top of mine, holding it there. Everyone had gotten used to us like this and even when we went out, I put an arm around her and one protectively on her stomach where the baby was shielded from the harsh reality of the world. Wow, that sounded really deep, like I didn't want the child to be born. That's not the case at all; I just can't help but think that we're not ready for this at all.

I pulled some trousers on now, leaving a scribbled note for Billy, grabbing my keys and heading into the darkness. I would have gone over and stayed with the Cullens and Bella, but I would have been out of place and plus I couldn't put up with the stink for very long. I knew something like this would happen, even though I didn't even know what had happened. I just knew it was bad; otherwise Alice wouldn't have called me in the middle of the night and sounded that urgent. It could have waited till morning if it was just regular news, but it obviously wasn't.

I jumped in the Rabbit, reversed it and sped off without a second thought. I had to get to Bella, which meant going to the Cullens, where she was. The whole time thoughts were spinning through my mind. What if something was wrong? What if someone had happened to her or the baby? I pushed the thoughts from my mind, not wanting to think about them, they were just upsetting me and I needed full composure if I was to face Bella right then. I just hope beyond anything that both were alright and that Bella was just upset about something.

Bella and I have been looking for a flat close to Forks, if not in Forks, for the past month. Charlie and Billy gave us both a large amount of money to make sure we had somewhere sorted for the baby. They told us that they were only giving us the money because they wanted to make sure we had somewhere to call our own. Bella and I both knew that some of that money came from the Cullens themselves, though neither of us argued after we both tried to give it back and were refused. Though Bella had questioned the Cullens many times about it, they're good liars.

So we've been making big preparations for the arrival of our baby, so that it will have somewhere to live and be safe. Oh yeah, it, because neither of us want to know the sex of the baby. We both feel that it will ruin the whole surprise of the birth thing, so we decided to wait. Bella thinks that it's a boy, I think it's a girl, she says she can just tell that it's a boy. She's felt it move sometimes, though there has been no kicking in the middle of the night, yet. The baby is behaving itself fairly well, though Bella has had morning sickness for the past three weeks.

But I've stuck by her, I've held her hair back when she's been sick, I've rubbed her back and comforted her. I hold her when she goes through an emotional stage, which seems to be very often just recently. I do all of it because I love her with all of my heart and if I was to lose her again, I would fall to pieces. Like with the whole Leah incident, I just wasn't me without Bella by my side. I didn't even want to think of that time, my life was on a high and that would just ruin everything.

I pulled up outside the Cullens' jumping out of the car and slamming the door. They would have heard me coming anyway, so there was no need to announce my arrival. I ran up the porch steps and just walked right in; this was no time for pleasant manners and bowing. Something was wrong with Bella and I needed to be there, no matter what it was, I had to be there for her. There was no-one awaiting my arrival, not a single Cullen, not even Bella. I frowned a little; this was more than a little odd.

"Hello?" I called out, walking to the bottom of the stairs and looking up them. I listened carefully, because I, like vampires, have very sensitive hearing, but I couldn't hear a single thing. There wasn't anyone in the house, not a soul, so where was Bella? Was she alright? And what had the Cullens done with her? Ice hit my heart as a thought crossed my mind. What if she'd been rushed to hospital? What if something had actually happened to her and the baby? I was ready to scream and cry out when Alice walked around the corner from the kitchen.

"Jacob," She breathed, instantly at my side and looking more worried than I have ever seen her. Jasper was by her side now, a glare fixed on me for just a second, but I ignored him, this just wasn't the time. "I'm glad you came, everyone has been so worried. Carlisle hasn't called to tell us anything and we had to wait for you, so we have no idea what is going on at all!" She was babbling, so something must have been wrong.

"Alice, what happened?" I asked desperately looking down at the little vampire, her eyes were wide, she bit her bottom lip. I felt that if she could have been crying she would have, but vampires can't, so she wasn't. Jasper felt this as well, because he slipped an arm around looking at her gently and nodding. I think he was telling her to tell me the news. I was dreading this, my heart had basically stopped and my breath was held. Only five seconds had passed since I had spoken, but it felt like a life time to me.

"It was an accident Jacob," Alice whispered looking up at me sadly and shaking her head. "Bella tripped, there was nothing anyone could do..."She trailed off and looked at Jasper, who shook his head sadly. Wait, Bella had tripped? That was nothing out of the ordinary. But something told me there was more to this. "Jacob, Bella fell down the stairs." My eyes flickered to the stairs; there were a lot of them. My heart had now stopped and for good it seemed, I couldn't find my voice as Alice babbled. "Carlisle, Edward and Esme rushed her to the hospital, they told us to stay here to tell you. She's fine, b-but." She paused again, biting her bottom lip even more. "S-She had pains...in her stomach. Oh Jacob, the baby!" Alice cried out, Jasper pulled her to him.

No, this couldn't be happening, this couldn't be happening! Bella had fallen down the stairs, she had tripped and fallen. Now she was lying in the hospital because she had pains in her stomach. I had to get to her, I had to support her. What was I doing just stood there, looking completely useless? With that I turned and ran for the door, not saying a word to the vampires inside. "Jacob wait! Take the Porsche." Alice yelled to me.

I turned and caught the key that she had thrown me. I nodded my thanks with a small smile, heading for their garage. Alice hadn't even told me to be careful, like I had heard her do with the others. I think she knew that this was a little more important than the car and even if it was trashed and I got to the hospital, it would be alright.

I brushed away the tears and I got into the car, revved it up and took off quickly...
