25. Glow.
Megan P. O. V
Since Robert came back it felt as if these seven long years have never happened, it felt like he was never gone. The only Reminder was Ellery. But now it wasn't torture to look into her eyes and see his eyes.
The only thing that haunted me still was in my dreams, every night I had the same nightmare.
I was alone in the darkness calling out for him. But I couldn't see anything just black. I made fire from my fingertips and spun around. Then I would see him laying on the ground. At that moment I would lose control of the flames and it would engulf everything, all I would see was fire.
I woke up and sat up fast. I was clammy.
"Megan what's wrong?" Robert asked and sat up as well.
I started sobbing and he held me in his arms.
"I'm so sorry." I cried.
"You didn't do anything, you didn't do anything." He repeated.
"I l-lost cont-rol of the fire and-and you-" I stuttered
"I'm here, I'm alive right here next to you Megan. I'm not on fire, I'm not dead I am here holding you. There's nothing to be afraid of." He said kissing my forehead and wiping my tears.
"There is something to be afraid of. I-I'm afraid I'll hurt you, I'm afraid that you'll be gone forever." I started hiccoughing
"I'm not going anywhere, I promise you that I am staying with you forever Megan." He whispered.
"Are we there yet?" Renesmee asked, she and Jake were blind folded and were being led by Alice and Esmé to their new house. She was close to her due date, about a month left, she was pretty big and hobbled instead of walk. She insisted on walking though when Jacob offered to carry her, she was pretty stubborn. And due to her permanent happiness whenever my dad teased her she would insult him with a smile on her face.
"Just a little farther." Alice chirped.
As we all walked through the forest, it was just Alice, Esmé, Bella, Nessie, Jake, Robert and I since I wanted to see the house because no-one would let us come near it incase I let it slip to Nessie.
We soon reached this enormous house, it was at the end of a huge clearing which had obviously been cleared by my dad.
There were several pathways that led to the front of the house, all lined with trees, shrubs, flowers and a thin fence with an opening in them that led to a garden between each two openings.
"I smell flowers." Renesmee said, they were still blindfolded.
"Fine you can take off the blindfold." Alice said.
"Great cause I hate it." Renesmee said as she ripped it off.
She gasped when she saw the garden we were in.
"Its beautiful!" She said, I saw her legs shaking.
"You okay Ness?" I asked, she had tears in her eyes.
"I'm just so happy right now, thanks Alice, Esmé." She said and hugged them. The sun came out then, Renesmee looked like she was holding a diamond blanket since she was still holding Alice and Esme. When she let go she was still shining, not her usual glow but she was actually shining like a really bright torch or something.
"I wanna go see inside!" Nessie chirped, I don't think she noticed the light show. She started running to the house.
"Nessie slow down, don't over exert yourself." Esmé said. Then an ear piercing scream.
We all raced over immediately, Renesmee was on her hands and knees, I could hear her trying to hold in her screams.
"Take her inside, I think she's gone into labour." Alice said, Jacob took her in his arms and disappeared, Bella followed I could still hear Nessie screaming.
"Megan call Carlisle, tell him to get here ASAP. Robert I need you to get hot water, towels and bring it to the spare room. Esmé, you stay with Nessie, keep her calm and keep Jacob relaxed, I'll go get the spare room ready, when I call you tell Jacob to bring her there." Alice said then she was gone. I took out my phone and was calling Carlisle five seconds later.
He picked up after two rings.
"Megan?" Carlisle asked.
"Carlisle, you have to get over to Nessie's house, I think she's gone into labour." I said quickly.
"Nessie's in labour?" I heard Ellery say, she often was in Carlisle's office reading his medical books.
"I will be over soon, Ellery get my bag. Megan give the phone to Alice." He said, I could hear him get up and put his jacket on.
I dashed into the house and handed the phone to her. Alice had put plastic on the mattress of the bed and put layers of sheets over it, Robert had the hot water and towels ready. Esmé, Bella and Jacob, carrying Nessie were just bringing her in.
"Megan, go to the basement and bring the incubator then plug it in the wall, put towels in it." Alice instructed me then talked to Carlisle.
I went downstairs, they really went all out in this place, it was prepared with everything.
The incubator was big but still light as a feather to me. I easily brought it up to the room, Robert handed me a few towels to line it, I switched it on just as Carlisle arrived.
"Okay I need everyone to clear out." Alice said pushing us out, leaving Jacob and Bella inside.
"Wait! Megan, Megan stay!" Nessie said breathlessly, her voice going higher at the end.
"Fine stay but everyone out." Alice said. Jacob had hold of her one hand and Bella the other.
"Renesmee you need to breathe." Carlisle said slipping on his surgical gloves.
"The contractions are two minutes apart, her heart rate is three hundred beats a minute. Carlisle, if that baby is human or werewolf it might be dangerous for the baby's heart." Alice said.
"What!" Renesmee squeaked.
"Shh, relax, slow your heartbeat down a little Renesmee you need to take deep long breaths." Bella said taking position at her head, not allowing her to look anywhere but her eyes.
I saw Nessie's hand clawing for something to hold so I took it. She immediately squeezed it, I heard a crunching sound and Jacob winced slightly.
It had been about two hours, Renesmee had calmed down a tiny bit, Bella was still breathing with her and Jacob was talking to her. Her heartbeat was down to one hundred and seventy-two beats per minute.
"You're doing it Ness, you're gonna be a mother." Jacob was saying.
"The baby's crowning." Alice said. Carlisle took his position.
"Okay now Renesmee you're going to have to start pushing with each contraction okay. One, two, three push." He said, Renesmee screamed.
"You're doing great okay take deep breaths, relax for a moment. Again, one, two, three push." Carlisle said and Renesmee screamed again. I could smell blood heavily in the air. I started feeling a bit light-headed, it wasn't like the smell of human blood but it was heavy in the air.
"Only a bit more, the head is out Renesmee, one, two, three push!" Carlisle said.
It went on for about another half an hour though it felt like forever, then I heard crying.
"It's a girl! I win the bet!" Alice said beaming at Nessie. She had the baby wrapped in one of the towels, there was still a bit of blood on the baby but Alice had rinsed most of it off. She handed baby Aura to Nessie.
"She's beautiful." Jacob said, kissing Nessie on her head.
Aura was almost the spitting image of her mother except for her hair and her eyes, Her eyes were like Jacob's very dark and her hair was also dark not exactly like Jacob's but kind of like Bella's.
Nessie kissed her once on her head and handed her to Jacob.
Aura stopped crying immediately when Jacob held her.
"A daddy's girl I see." I chuckled.
"Well done Nessie." I said.
Suddenly everyone came in, wanting to see the new Cullen/Black.
I noticed, that Aura was glowing too, without the sun. Like Nessie had earlier. It must have been her, not just the fact that Nessie was pregnant.
A/N: Yep, thats it, the birth scene, all bloody and birthy. This is how I'm guessing little people are born, may not be entirely accurate but I watched 'What to expect when you're expecting' so maybe... ANyway next is the FINAL CHAPTER! YAAAAAAAAAAAAYYYYYY. Thats how I feel on the inside but I'm really like (-_-) The rest of this A/N is completely irrelevant and you can finish reading anytime, you didn't even have to read it. I don't even know why I wrote it. Seriously though you can stop ;)
