I am going to write at least one more chapter before I end this story but I found the perfect ending so I can't wait to write it for you. Please review and tell me what you think.

Chapter 21: A child

I had been in La Push for a week and I knew that the child I was carrying was special. My belly had grown more then I would have ever thought. Most days, I was with Emily but when I started getting burses, no one knew what to do. Jake was with me everyday but he still had to run patrols with the guys. Sam agreed with Jake when he asked that one member be left with me at all times incase something were to happen.

"Em, can you help me up please? I need a refill."
"I can get it Bella. You need to rest." She held her hand out for my cup but I grabbed her hand with my own.

"I need to stretch my legs." I stood and gave myself a moment to be sure I was ready to walk. Emily held on to me the whole way. "I know you don't really want to do this. It isn't really fair to anyone that I am taking up all this time."

"Bella you know that all we care about is you. This child is taking everything from you and we need to keep you healthy until we can figure out how to get him out."

"The only one who can do that is the Cullen family. I know I won't survive giving birth to a vampire child but they could change me"

"Do you really want that? After all they have put you through"

"When he is ready to come out do you really think that it will be the normal way?" I asked her as I poured another pint of blood into a cup and reached for the carton of eggs beside the cooler.

"I'll do that" I let her take the eggs from me and sipped from the straw. "I understand why you want this but it will kill Jake." She spoke the words I already knew.

"I will not stay with them. I'll take the baby and leave as soon as I can." I gripped the countertop knowing my choice would hurt, not only Edward but every one of them. I would be alone as a newborn but I would make due with what little help I could get from Alice and Jake.

"You should sit" Emily helped me back to the couch and laid a plate of eggs on the table next to me.

It had been two weeks since I made up my mind to leave after the baby was born. I was getting bigger and he was losing space to move around. I knew that I had at least two cracked bones but I didn't know where. Embry was with me today while Emily was shopping and the other boys ran routes.

"I want to go to the beach." Embry looked down at me. He had his arm around me to keep me warm.

"You're crazy Bella. You can't move anywhere with out being in pain."

"I want to go and sit on the beach. It will only be for a few minutes then I will let you bring me back in." I begged. I had been cooped up and this room for too long and I wanted to smell the fresh air. Embry sighed and went to pick me up. The pain was coming, where was no stopping it. He lifted my bloated body into his strong arms. "Don't forget my cup." We had been able to get more blood for my ever growing habit. He leaned down and handed me my cup carefully. We walked slowly outside. It was raining but even that felt good to my clammy skin. He carried me out to the log that Jake and I sat at all the time and set me down very carefully.

"Why are you even keeping a child that is hurting you?"

"He is my baby. The only good thing I will have after…" I trailed off looking out into the rolling waves. Suddenly Embry stiffened at my side and I looked up at him. He backed away quickly and turned into his wolf. I followed his murderous gaze to the edge of the forest. There was a female vampire that I didn't know standing there looking at me.

"I can't run. You have to get her." I whispered to the wolf. He growled and lunged at her but he was quick enough to get to me. I felt my body go air-born for just a moment and then crash a snort ways away into the rocks. The cup of blood I had in my hands spilt over the ground and the moment I looked up to see where the vampire was I felt the worst pain imaginable. It was like my skin was being ripped in half, my bones were breaking and my blood was boiling. I opened my mouth to speak but all that came out was a blood curdling scream.

Alice's POV

My phone rang in my pocket. While hunting I didn't normally bring my phone but oddly enough I did this time. I stopped mid run and Jasper stopped beside me. I looked at my phone.

"Bella" I answered it quickly but it was not Bella I heard.

"I am headed your way. Bella is in trouble, she is dying" Jake's voice came over the phone.

"How long?" I asked already running back to the house.

"Two minutes and even that's too long." I head a loud scream in the background.

"Then hurry." I hung up as I entered the house again. "Bella is in trouble. Jake is going to be here in less then a minute. She's in a lot of pain." Edward was the first up and out the door. Carlisle ran up the stairs to get his medical tools ready and everyone else was on edge as we listened to the combined sounds of the car ties speeding on the road and the sound of Bella screaming in agony. The engine on the car was left running when Edward re entered the room with Bella, who was covered in her own blood and appeared to be very pregnant.

"It's a half vampire child and it's trying to get out." Edward spoke as we ran upstairs to Carlisle's office. He set her on the desk and soon the blood became too much for me. Jasper and I left the room and stood outside.

"She is pregnant!" I nearly screamed. "How would that even happen? And it's part vampire. That is not even possible. Why didn't Bella come back when she found out? Why didn't she let Edward know? It has to be his baby." As I swiftly asked question after question I was hit with a vision that confused me. I calmed instantly and Jasper sensed the change in my mood. "She is going to leave with the baby. She doesn't plan to stay."

"What?" Jasper was as confused as I was.

"She won't live though this as a human. Edward and Carlisle are going to change her and she is going to leave with the baby" I was suddenly sad by that thought.

"What did you see?" jasper asked stroking my face.

"I saw Bella somewhere with the child in her arms. She was still a newborn but she was no where near us or Edward." I looked into Jasper's eyes and whispered "This is going to kill Edward. She is going to take everything"

Edward's POV

Bella was dying under my hands because she carried the child I didn't know I had. We had gotten the baby out and now were trying to put enough venom in her body to save her. I could hear her heart slowing down and I sped up my compressions until her heart kept up a steady pace and smelled of morphine and venom. I looked up at Carlisle and I knew he was even more confused as I was.

"How could this have happened?"

"I don't know Edward but what matters now is that we have to take care of the child and wait for Bella to wake up. She will have to be taught" Carlisle began to clean up the blood mess that was now around his office and leading down the stairs. I took a rag and began to clean Bella's broken body.

"Go check on the baby Edward. I will do this" He took the rag from my hand and I walked from the room. I passed Esme on the way down and she gave me a small smile and touched my cheek gently.

"She is beautiful and healthy. What is her name?"

"Bella called her 'Renesmee' before…" I stopped and Esme hugged me tightly.

"Go see her and then talk to Jake."

"Jake…where is he?"

"Outside. He didn't want to be in here while it all happened" I was gone before she was done talking.

"Why didn't you bring her to me?" I snapped at him

"She didn't want you! She called me from Florida when she found out and I went to her. She was scared and she didn't want you to hurt her again."

"She could have died. Any longer and she would have. Is that what you wanted?" I wanted to kill him but I could see from his mind that it was all Bell's doing, not his.

"I didn't want her to die. Why do you think I brought her here in the first place? She knew that she wouldn't be human much longer and she accepted that" He glared daggers at me and I threw them right back.

"Thank you." I told him bitterly "For bringing her back to me."

"I didn't bring her back to you. She isn't staying here and she is not staying with you" Alice was at the door listening and I saw the vision in her head. I felt as if I million pounds of weights was thrown at me and I didn't have the strength to lift them from my body.

"You knew about this?" I turned to Alice

"I just found out while you were saving her. I don't know how to tell you. She will remember everything that happened. Vampire minds don't have memory loss issues from the human lives they lived"

She looked as lost and hurt as I felt at the very moment.

"We will have to wait to see what happens when she wakes up. You need to come see the baby" Alice moved aside and let me in. I heard Jake follow us in. Rosalie was holing the now clean baby, who had a bottle in its mouth that was made of medal.

"Let me hold her Rose" I reached out for the small form in my sisters arms and sighed heavily. She had Bella's brown eyes and my hair. In all my life I had never seen something more perfect then the child I held now, my child. I kissed her forehead and handed her back. Jake watched for just a moment before he spoke again.

"Bella was attacked by your girlfriend, that's what set the baby into ripping Bella apart. Embry and Paul took care of her though." I turned about and felt the first sliver of happiness from night. Dylinn was dead and it was all over. Whatever I had felt for her died with her and it would never come back.

"Why did she attack?" I had to ask.

"Bella was still alive and that bloodsucker wanted her dead so she could be with you."

"She deserved to die many times over. I will never mourn her death." I left the room then to sit with Bella. For all I knew this would be the last time I would get to spend with her.

i thought this would be a fit ending to this chapter. I will post again in just a few days when I have more to post. Only two of three more chapters to go before the end of this story. I will be sad but its been almost three years in the making since I started this with the help of a friend. Send me reviews and I will post quicker. Tell me how you would like the story to end. I might jut add some of your ideas.
