Chapter 25: Phase 2

Her plan didn't unfold like she had planned; she couldn't have predicted what was to happen, even if Alice could have seen it.

Rian sat in Art class, one hand cradling her stomach while she held her phone with the other. She and Emmett were texting each other again about baby names.

'Finola.' Emmett suggested once again the terrible name. 'We could change the first names to Finley and Finola!'

'No! Hadley and Finley.'

'lol.'

'How about Kellan for a boy?'

'Good god.' Apparently he didn't like it.

'Braylon or Talon?'

'You're just messing with me now, right?'

':D I kinda like Braylon but I am kidding.'

'How about Anora? Could call her Nora for short.'

'I like it.'

'Good, guess we have baby number two if they are both girls.'

'Or Hadley's middle name?'

'Hadley Anora Cullen?'

'Who said she'd have your last name? We aren't married, she could have my last name.' Rian jokingly sent, but she never got to see Emmett's reply or explain that it was just a joke. Because at that moment, an angry person came storming into the room. "You are suck a freaking liar!" Winter practically screamed in Rian's ear, making the redhead jump and drop her phone.

"What are you talking about?" Rian asked completely confused. She hadn't ever denied she was pregnant.

Winter stepped closer to Rian, almost in a threatening way. Rian stood up to be level with Winter (kinda, Rian was still a few inches shorter than the five and a half foot Winter). "Did I stutter?" Winter was almost screaming at Rian, she was so angry. "First you are lying about your so called hallucinations of vampires killing you," Rian glared at Winter, she was not trying to be private at all. And even though they were not getting alone right now, she did expect Winter to keep this between themselves. The bimbo twins had. "And now! Now, you are what? About 4, maybe 5 months pregnant?"

"Yeah, I never said I wasn't." Rian drew herself to her full height, attempting to match Winter's anger.

"No, you just said you didn't sleep with him, you slut!"

Rian couldn't help it, her emotions were already so hard to control. She outright slapped Winter. This did not help the other girl's anger and as soon as she did it, she wished she hadn't. Rian watched Winter's head snap to the side with a large red handprint on her cheek.

Winter slowly looked back at the girl, Rian had never seen her eyes so enraged before and so astonished. That was definitely not like Rian. But Winter did something as equally as astonishing; she pushed Rian. Not hard, but enough for Rian to step back, lose her balance and come tumbling to the ground as her heartrate skyrocked. And the worst part was that on her way down to the ground she felt a sharp pain in her side and on her forehead at the same time. Rian screamed out as she crumbled to the ground.

Before she knew what was going on, classmates and teachers were surrounding the girls. Rian put her hand up to her stomach as she felt the blood trickle down the side of her face. She felt dizzy and slightly out of it as everything proceeded, all she was thinking about was her babies. What had happened to her babies?

Day 19

Rian opened her eyes to see the bright bulbs of a hospital room and she instantly wanted to close them again. She had a bad headache and her side was throbbing with each breath she took. She tried to remember the events leading up to her hospitalization as she examined her stomach and side.

She remembered the fight she and Winter had, and the teachers frantically taking her to the office and calling an ambulance. She remembered pieces of the ride to the hospital and continuously asking for Dr. Cullen, saying he was her OBGYN. She remembered Alice, Jasper, and Emmett meeting her at the hospital around the time that Carlisle was examining her. She didn't remember what he said to her just that Carlisle and Emmett and Alice had been talking to her a lot. She remembered her father looking so distraught, as if he was worried about something and she remembered not being able to understand that he was worried about her. And she remembered someone handing her two (one after the other) cups of blood to drink before they let her sleep that night.

Rian attempted to open her eyes again. She looked around the room, hoping someone was there that could answer her questions about the babies. She saw Emmett and smiled at him before her father stepped in front of the vampire. Her smile fell instantly. He still looked worried as he hugged the stiff and achy girl. Rian let a small moan of pain out and her father let her go.

"What happened?"

"You took a nasty fall at school." Her father tried to explain.

"I know that, but what happened afterwards? I remember pieces, but I don't remember what Carlisle said." She glanced at Emmett.

"You're stronger than a little fall." Emmett explained, as best he could with her father in the room.

Suddenly Rian got an idea to get her father out of the room. "I'm hungry. Can you go get me something from that diner down the street I like."

Her father, being so worried and so relieved she was okay, didn't think twice about it. He nodded quickly and left the room.

"You hit your head on your way down." Emmett said as soon as her father was out of the room. "I was never more worried in my life."

"I remember my side hurting, did I hit my stomach too?"

"We aren't sure, but both babies seem to be fine. Their heart rates were strong and consistent. Carlisle checked them as often as your father left your room." Rian relaxed when she heard this.

"That wasn't how it was supposed to go." Rian laughed, only to be rewarded with a pain shooting through her head.
