Disclaimer: I own non of the characters, that honour goes deservedly to SM.
Thank you for all your amazing comments, especially on my out-take chapter, now don't be too hard on Bella in this chapter or Carlisle they are just doing what they think is best. As in twilight Bella's pregnancy is accelerated. Just in case there is some confusion Aro doesn't care about Bella's lineage his only concern is destroying the Cullen's, so he uses what he knows for leverage.
Time lines- Bella and Edward have been together for 4 months now she is approx 3 months pregnant, as with most vampire stories time is irrelevant.
" Edward..I ..I know what I have to do" she whispered
" to do?"
" Yes.. for this to end...I love you and I will do anything to stay with you"
" Bella, I don't understand"
She linked her fingers through his bringing both their hands down to her stomach.
" I have to give up the baby!"...
" Bella?" he hissed " What the fuck are you talking about?"
Bella turned to face him, his eyes were dark and his lips pulled into a thin line.
" Edward" she sighed " James will not give up, I wont lose you..Aro wants the baby he wants to raise it to be a monster I can't , I won't risk him getting to our child"
Edward grabbed her shoulders sitting her into his lap, he kissed her hair and sighed , " Bella you are not getting rid of our baby" he hissed
" Then shit Edward tell me what to do" she rubbed her hands over her face a mannerism she had picked up from him " Look in my eyes and tell me..."
" Tell you what?" he pulled back
"Fuck I don't know lets see..tell me I am going to survive this baby being born"
His eyes narrowed and pain flew across his face.
" Didn't think so" she whispered
" Oh and lets not forget how I am going to be able to stay alive when a sadistic vampire wants me dead and God knows what the other wants from me, other than finishing what he already started and the fact he thinks the baby may be his he probably wants me to bear more evil spawn" she bit her lip on the last comment not meaning that she was already carrying an evil spawn.
Edward growled..
"Edward..I..I..I didn't mean that" she stopped , Edward had stood up from the bed and was now pacing the bedroom floor pulling at his hair.
"I can't answer...FUCK!" he roared " I cant answer any of your questions Bella I don't know if you can survive this" he motioned his hand to her stomach " I don't know how I can keep you safe from HIM!" he hissed the last word.
Bella stood and moved in front of him placing her hands on his chest he held them close and leant his fore head on hers.
"I do" she whispered , he head snapped up.
"No!" he spat
"Edward , if you change me..If you turn me I am no longer his blood I am yours..I will be safe and you will have me..WE will have one another for ever"
" Bella if I change you..you will lose the baby..our baby and you will have to live with it for the rest of your existence there will be no trying again" he growled...
Suddenly Edward froze a low growl building in his chest..
"Edward?" Bella whispered stroking his cheek.
"Fuck!" he hissed leaving the room in a blur.
Bella ran after him and found him,Jasper and Emmett stood round Carlisle in the entrance.
"When" Edward hissed , Carlisle's face looked pained as she saw him look into Edwards eyes and Edward gave out a roar as he slammed his hand into the wall showering all in powder.
"Edward?" Jasper growled, Emmett moved in front of his father placing his hands on Edward shoulders.
"You going to tell us bro or is it a surprise" he said curtly
" Bree.." Edward whispered
"What about Bree?" Jasper hissed
" She was ...er..delivered to the club this afternoon" he sighed looking at Carlisle.
" Delivered?" asked Emmett with a look of confusion
"Yes Emmett delivered ..like in a fucking Fed Ex box" Edward hissed.
" We will open tonight as usual" sighed Carlisle
"Dad one of you staff has turned up in a box, how the fuck can you think about opening" Jasper hissed
" Guardare tuo figlio bocca" Carlisle hissed "watch your mouth"
Jasper shook his head , "business as usual" he whispered as he turned to leave.
"Yes Jasper, business as usual if we don't he has won" Carlisle turned
Jasper stopped, turned and shook his head , Carlisle growled.
"Office now..all of you!" he spat looking at Edward as if warning him not to read his thoughts, he nodded.
Carlisle slammed the door behind them...
CPOV
I couldn't believe it , were they all going fucking soft..I had to remind my dear boys we were still in business , I loved them dearly and Esme and I were so happy they had found their soul mates but they were being distracted from their work, their family their life style, we were the strongest vampire coven in the south and if we let our guard down for too much longer the wolves would be descending.
I threw myself on my chair and glared at them , Edward had an arrogant smirk on his face and this pissed me off.
"Wipe the fucking grin boy" I spat, Edwards eyes narrowed.
" Please.. enlighten me to what the fuck has happened to this family" I spat.
"Pardon me?" Emmett scoffed
"This family..this family has always been a formidable force to be reckoned with , no one fucks with the Cullen's that's what has always been said in other covens"
Jasper went to open his mouth then re considered, I laughed.
"Look at the three of you. Emmett you are so fucking pussy whipped now that you cant even do your job without having to answer to her, Jasper when was the last time one of the clientèle or staff member called you master not long ago you would have fucked them up for such disrespect" I sighed and turned to Edward.
" Edward before Bella came along how many mistakes had you ever made..how many times had someone slipped past you in the club?"
As expected Edward was the first to blow, he leant forward on my desk the heels of his hands making marks in the soft Italian wood.
"Don't fucking bring Bella into this" he snapped
I leant myself forward so our faces were inches apart "Then get your fucking dick back in your pants and start doing your job" I hissed
Edward pushed back from the desk and leant against the wall hands across his chest.
" Emmett , Rose stays at home now when you are working" he opened his mouth to argue but I held up my hands " Don't give me the bullshit about her working during the day and you working at night its not as if you need sleep".
He huffed , mumbling something about rose not being happy.
"Tough shit" I whispered raising an eyebrow to him.
I turned my gaze on Jasper he was sat on the high backed chair his hands in his pockets.
"Jasper, you will learn to focus or I will fire Alice" I snapped, he stood pushing his chair back, Emmett caught it as it toppled.
" You cant fucking do that Carlisle" he shouted
That was the last straw , I was sick of the disrespect people were showing me, Aro..Eleazar..and now my family I swooped round the side of the desk before Edward could register my thoughts locking my arms around Jaspers neck, he hissed as I held tight.
"Fuck dad , what are you doing , let go of him" Emmett shouted
Edward just stood looking at me, his eyes pained as he took in my stance, It was then that I saw myself I had my arms around my sons neck ready to snap it..I had lost control..I was losing my control over everything.
I pulled back and Jasper fell to the floor panting , rubbing his neck.
"Get out!" I hissed not looking at any of them , when I heard no movement I turned to look at them , whatever my expression was it frightened them.
"I said get out!" I hissed again, they left and closed the door behind them.
I slammed my fist into the wall, a large crack appeared and I knew there would be hell to pay from Esme.I laughed to myself..Esme the only woman and immortal that frightened me.
I sat back at my desk and started to go through the accounts , Ping! I reached into my pocket for my cell.
'Times running out!'~Eleazar
I swore under my breath..
'I still have four months left,fucker~C
'I changed my mind I want them all in three'~Eleazar
I fisted my hand, the sound of crunching metal reminding me I still had my cell in it.
'Fuck you, a deals a deal'~C
I texted back, I was through being intimidated, if my son found out maybe it was for the best all these decades keeping a secret was eating away at me.
'You will be hearing from me...soon'~Eleazar
"Argh" I shouted throwing my cell across the room and decapitating a bust of Shakespeare.
A light knock pulled me from my haze of rage.
"Come in" I sighed
The door opened and Bella's head peeked round the side.
"Is this a bad time?" she asked me sweetly, I laughed..understatement of the fucking century I thought..
"No my dear..come in sweetheart what can I do for you?"
BPOV
I moved round the door to see Carlisle looking very preoccupied..did vampires get preoccupied ?
I suppose being nearly five hundred years old you pick up on human mannerisms without thinking, he sighed bringing me back from my revere.
" I suppose you heard our ..erm." I paused
Carlisle smiled "Yes I did , I'm afraid that's the draw back of living with the super hearing" he laughed softly.
"What do you think?"I asked as he gestured me to take a seat.
" You have to remember Bella my answer will be solely what is best for my son and this family"
I nodded I didnt expect anything else.
"I understand" I smiled
"Its not because I dont love you but.." I held up my hand
"Carlisle I understand, I just..I just need to do what's best for me..and for Edward although he doesn't see it that way, I can't lose him Carlisle but I don't know any other way" I sighed rubbing my hands over my face, he laughed softly and I realised he's picked up on my new Edward mannerisms.
"What do you want to do?"he asked leaning forward on his desk
"I want this baby..our baby more than anything but we don't know if I will even survive the birth and then what happens if ...he..gets our baby" I broke off on the last few words I couldn't bare the thought of Aro or James getting his hands on Edward child and turning it against him.
" Bella I can't tell you what to do" he sighed, not what I wanted to hear.
"If you wish to terminate I will make the arrangements, I have contacted an old friend Alastair he is a physician and a vampire, he has offered to help in any way he can, how are you feeling?"
"I'm fine,most of the time I know I am only three months but I feel it moving in my stomach all the time, like its trying to get out and on cue junior makes himself known, my hands fly to my stomach and I double over panting , he is beside me in seconds.
"Bella?"
"I'm fine.." I pant "just give me a second" I close my eyes and the pain begins to subside.
"Like I said , most of the time"
"I think we need to get you to Alastair as soon as possible" he whispers as he opens his cell punching in numbers
"Alastair?" he says into his cell
"Carlisle?"
" Yes I need to bring her now"
"Of course bring her over straight away"
Carlisle sighed
"We'll be there within the hour" he snapped his phone shut.
I glanced at him and opened my phone to call Edward he was at the club now and I knew he would want to know.
Edward left as soon as he heard I was going to see Alastair , Carlisle instructed me to tell him to meet us there as his clinic was on that side of town.
Esme gave me a huge hug and promised me Alastair was a good man and that he would look after me, Rose offered to come with me but I refused , I just wanted Edward there.
"Go get into the car Bella , we'll take the Mercedes I'll just grab my cell I've left in in my study, he was gone in a flash.
I walked onto the driveway it was a chilly night and I pulled my jacket around my shoulders, I felt a set of arms on me.
"That was quick" I laughed
"You haven't seen nothing yet"...
CPOV
I ran into my study grabbed my cell and was out of the door , the passenger side was closed so I figured she had run and got in I wasn't quite close enough to see her profile through the tinted glass, as I moved closer I could see the car was empty I spun round to see if she had gone to one of the other cars then remembered the boys were at the club.
"Bella?"I called,...nothing..
"Bella!" I shouted , that's when it hit me..the scent...his scent mixed with hers.
"Fuck!" I growled as I high tailed it into the house.
"Rose , Esme" I choked out falling to my knees.
"Carlisle..what is it baby" Esme was on her knees beside me holding my head in her hands.
"I was ten fucking seconds Esme,ten fucking seconds and that's all it took" I growled
"Carlisle your scaring me what..wait" he head snapped up "Carlisle where's Bella?"
I sighed
"He's got her, I was ten fucking seconds and that was enough for him to get to her, how the fuck did he get passed the gate"
" James is a cunning fucker" Rose spat I hadn't noticed her presence "He's fast too now he's a vamp"
"What do I tell him Esme , what do I tell Edward, I have been telling them to be so careful so vigilant and I fucking lose her, he'll never forgive me" I tore from the house and into the night I would follow his scent as far as I could.
I don't know how long I had been running, the trees were becoming thicker as the houses thinned out when my cell vibrated.
I looked at the caller ID and hissed.
"Edward" I sighed
"Hey , were are you is Bella okay you should have been here twenty minutes ago"
"Edward" I sighed again
"Dad?" he whispered "Dad..Carlisle, what's wrong, where's Bella is she alright"
"Edward..I'm sorry" was all I could say.
