Bella's POV-
It was different not have Rose, Emmett, and their kids here anymore. Edward and I left Elizabeth with Esme so we could go hunting, because it has been too long since we went. I didn't want to go to far, just in case something happened to Elizabeth. I know our family wouldn't let anything happen to her, but I had a feeling that the Volturi wasn't going to wait until she was eighteen.
"Is this far enough?" I asked Edward.
"I suppose we could stop here, if you want to." I could tell by his tone in his voice that he didn't want to settle for deer.
"Edward go ahead and find something that is better for your appetite. I will be fine here by myself. I'll probably only need one deer anyways, so go."
"Are you sure? I don't mind staying with you."
"Yes I'm sure. Go!"
I knew he would stay with me, but I always feel that I'm causing him to settle for too many things he wouldn't normally settle for. He would just end up leaving later that night to hunt again.
Edward's POV-
I didn't mind staying with Bella, but she settles for small things and doesn't like going far away from the house.
"Is this far enough?" She asked me.
"I suppose we could stop here, if you wanted to." I tried to hide the aggravation in my voice, but it slipped out. She must have caught it, because I could tell she was thinking of something.
"Edward go ahead and find something that is better for your appetite. I will be fine here by myself. I'll probably only need one deer anyways, so go."
"Are you sure? I don't mind staying with you." Which was true, but I would end up going back out later to get something that craves my blood lust better.
"Yes I'm sure. Go!"
I was surprised she was letting me go away from her. Ever since I've been back from Volterra, we have really been separated. I knew she was afraid of losing me again.
Ever since we move here to Michigan, I've been going after bears or bobcats on my second trip out. I tried not telling Bella I was going back out to hunt, every night that we hunted together, but I think she caught on to what I was doing.
I went farther into the woods and found Emmett's favorite. I don't know why he enjoyed bear blood. The texture is displeasing. The only thing that matters is that it does satisfy by craving enough to handle. I had to taunt the bear so it would come out of its surroundings. It didn't take much for it to come out.
I don't aggravate them anymore than I have to, unlike Emmett who gets them really pissed off before even trying to attack them. It's nice being faster and strong than the animal you attacking. I jumped on the bears back and snapped his neck. I drank him dry and took care of any evidence.
I went back to where I last left Bella. She was still there drinking. It always took her longer than everyone else to finish her meal. She wasn't really found of blood to begin with, it didn't matter if it was animal or human. When she was finished, I took care of the deer carcass.
We went back home and sat down in the living room with Esme, Alice, and Jasper to watch a movie with them.
Bella's POV-
When we got home we watched the Clueless movie Alice had liked so much. I think she only liked it, because the main characters kind of dress like her. I looked up at Edward, he was shaking his head and rolling his eyes at how dumb certain people acted. I could help but smile. He must have noticed, because he pulled me close to him and kissed me before wrapping his arms tightly around me.
About half way into the movie Elizabeth started fussing. I knew Esme had just fed her not too long ago, so I didn't go up there right away. But when her quiet fussing became screaming I wiggled my way out of Edward's embrace.
"I can get her." He told me
"No, you can stay here and watch Alice's movie." I smirked and he rolled his eyes at me with his crooked smile.
I went upstairs to get my screaming Elizabeth, to feed her. When I picked her up, she was burning up. I thought it was just because my skin is cold, but then I thought about how she's never felt this warm. I went to the bathroom to see if we bought a thermometer, but I could find one. I could have sworn we did. I went back to my screaming child and tried comforting her. I looked down in her crib and seen that she had spit up the formula Esme had given her.
"Edward!" I yelled. He came running into the room.
"What? What's wrong?" He asked panicked.
"I think Elizabeth is sick, she's burning up."
"Did you take her temperature?"
"No I can't find the thermometer."
Edward disappeared into the bathroom and came back out with it in his hand. He took the cap off the container it was in and slid it out. It was an ear thermometer so it was too hard to get it.
"It's 104.3." I said as I read the thermometer.
"We need to get her to the hospital now." Edward said.
I started to really worry. I grabbed Elizabeth and put her coat, hat, and booties on her. Edward carried her down to the Volvo and buckled her in the car seat, while I gabbed a bottle for her. I sat in the back of the car with her. I gave her the bottle and she drank a little bit before throwing it down, soon after she threw up what she had just drank.
A/N: Sorry about the cliffy, but I felt it was necessary. There is another poll on my page about them adopting, no and a six year old were tied. So if you can please go and vote again that would be great. Please review! ;)
