That wedding kiss still played in my mind. The tender way he lifted my veil. My life is so perfect… Ya know, minus the whole cancer thing. I poked the now protruding bump in my stomach. I told everyone I was throwing up because of her, little Roselle Black well, at least I think it's a girl, I hope so… I guess I'd name a boy Jacob? but, I was really throwing up because of the cancer. I think. I don't know.
I'm 6 weeks along now. This baby could pop out any day, and I'm constantly reminded of it by the hockey game going on with my internal organs. Who needs ribs though, eh? She's worth it, and she's going to have the most beautiful medium-blonde curls and brown eyes you'll ever see. My little girl, Roselle Alice-Marie Cullen. Rosalie and Alice will doll her up in my old clothes when she wants to play princess. She'll have all the love she needs when I'm gone, with a family like the Cullen's, and Alistair. He can be weird, but he's a good guy.
"I wonder if she'll be a hybrid, or a shape shifter? Can she be both?" I asked Jake, tracing my fingers along his warm, tan body. This was about as intimate as he'd let me get since he found out about the whole baby/cancer deal. We'd had our own cabin since the wedding, though Edward and Bella's was right next door. Don't see why the gave us one, not like I'm getting any. You'd think since I was dying he'd gimme some. I'd say that, but I don't wanna hurt him. Plus I haven't said I'm dying out loud yet, don't wanna do it, then I might give up hope.
Then, the baby started kicking. HARD. Worse than ever before. I heard a tearing sound, and I felt water leaking from you-know-where. Jake felt it too. "OH SHIT!" he yelled. "EDWARD! CARLISLE!"
I was holding my stomach, trying to keep the tears and screaming to a minimum, not wanting to hurt Jake. This was way worse than the migraines. Or the nosebleeds, which, now that I thought about it, is probably why they gave me a cabin. Alistair was in the room, so was ET. "Get him out!" I yelped, gripping onto the bedpost. I heard it snap. Alistair held my hands down, as Rosalie ran ET back to the main house. "WHAT'S THAT?!" I screeched, seeing a needle. "NO! NO DRUGS! MY BABY!"
"It's safe." Bella assured me, wiping sweat from my head. Wait, that's blood. Oh wow. I think I'm gonna pass out, this fucking hurts. The joys of childbirth. I felt the skin being ripped from my stomach and I screamed, I couldn't hold it in. It was worse than the sound of nails on chalkboard, I wanted to cover my ears but I couldn't move. But Edward had opened my stomach in vain. "SHE IS COMING OUT THE OTHER WAY!" I screamed again. I could feel her coming out normally, like I assumed normal childbirth would feel anyway. Man, I feel bad for my mom. Never knew her, but OW! This is worse than fucking dying! I WANT TO DIE! OH MY FUCKING GOD! I saw the pain in Jake's face, and knew I'd said it out loud.
Jasper was running from the room, his face mauled with my pain. I wonder how I look? "OH MY FUCKING GOD! GET THIS THING THE HELL OUT OF ME! NOW! DRUGS!" I started screaming, thrashing around.
Then, relief swept over me as a needle went into my heart. I felt the baby moving out of me, I pushed as hard as I could, not really aware of it. My body did most of the work. Then, I saw her. It was a girl. They were cleaning my girl. My little baby girl! It had been hours of hard labor apparently, but it was worth it, so worth it, to see that little slice of heaven. She was a couple shades darker than I, and her eyes were that shade of brown I adored, with flecks of blue. Such a beautiful little face, beautiful little hands… I could feel my heart rate slowing. Edward laid her down on top of me, and I kissed her tiny little head, her little hands, remembering her scent (definitely not shape shifter). I would cherish this forever.
Then it ended too soon, everything went black. I BURN! I wanted to scream, making out faint voices, rushed, scared. What was happening? I could hear his voice, feel him kissing me. I felt something biting me, repeatedly. GOD DAMN! MAKE THE BURN STOP! I think I yelled that out loud, the biting ended. But that fucking burn kept up.
JAKE'S POV:
I watched the baby come out, normal as could be. It was beautiful, but it was the reason my wife was dead. Lying on the table, kissing our newborn child, she stopped breathing. Edward started biting her like a shark in a frenzy, like it would help. Everything was chaos, and all I could do was kiss her and wipe her tears. Elle died in my arms, being bit by Edward. Then, the screaming started. She was in agony, it was etched on her face. I remembered this look, Bella had it when she was… Turned. It was working! Carlisle had opened her head, I had to go out for a run. I phased, listening to the chaos, running from it. I was gone for a few days, when I heard Seth's thoughts. Jake, it's been two days, they expect her to wake up any second now. They got her tumor out. Come home. I started running, letting the wind fill my nostrils. I could smell our daughter, Roselle. I kept running, making it to the cabin in record time. I phased back, not caring I was naked. Then, her eyelids fluttered open.
"Oh, I am in heaven, because he's naked." Her voice filled my ears, like bells ringing. My heart nearly stopped, this was amazing. She was mine, my love, I had her back. I thanked every god there was for this miracle. I didn't lose her! "Come over here, sailor boy, give mama some sugar!" she teased.
I chuckled, looking at her. "Sailor boy? Mama?" Surprisingly, she was still hybrid, I could smell it. But the leech smell was stronger now. Three-quarters vampire? This shit never ceases to amaze me. I kissed her gently, and was surprised by the strength her lips met mine with. I forgot about everyone else in the room, holding her, kissing her, breathing in her scent… Though it stunk a bit now. I'd get used to it. It was worth it, to have my angel back with me. Wait, what's that? Damn, she's horny. Well, so am I. My two angels, with me now and forever. Elle shared her thoughts with me. Forever and ever, and ever my love. I'll never go anywhere. I'm yours now and forever, my husband. Edward, make everyone get the hell out.
I laughed as they left, then felt her pull me down, wrapping her legs around my waist. "Gee, yo sure move fast!" I teased, kissing her with passion and lust and love, glad to have her back. To have my soulmate with me again. As we came together, I knew that the rest of our lives would be perfect, I couldn't have it any other way.
A/N: WELL, that's it. Maybe a sequel, or a couple other chapters, but I doubt it. I feel pretty good about this ending :D
