BELLA POV

Anthony stormed in and threw his keys on the floor, he was mad at Chris, mad at himself, but above all, mad at Aimee. Anthony and his girlfriend had broken up over a misunderstanding, and she wouldn't let him explain.

"Its official, I am through with women, I'm becoming gay!" My son declared and stormed towards his room.

ANTHONY POV

Dad looked at me with a raised eyebrow, and opened his mouth to ask me what I was talking about, or make a sarcastic remark like he normally did when I got a bit adolescent. But just as his lips opened Mum gasped and her knees sagged. Dad looked at her anxiously and she gripped around his neck to meet his eyes.

"Mum?" I asked anxiously.

"Edward... my shield... I can't..." She whispered, well more sobbed.

"Bella I can hear you." Dad demanded.

"It... Edward I can't..."

She slipped in his grip and he moved to a crouch so she was sat on the floor, leaning on his right leg, legs under his waist. She started to cry and his voice came out huskily as he picked her up and held her tight to his chest, her sobs muffled in his shirt.

"Anthony, phone your granddad at the hospital, he needs to get here now." He growled.

"Okay, sure." I whispered.

EDWARD POV

I gently sat on the bed with Bella in my lap, she sobbed into my chest and I rocked her gently, her thoughts of worry and despair were screaming at me in my head, and it frightened me, because they were so alien.

"Hold on love, please hold on..." I whispered desperately as she cried out into my chest, her voice soaked in pain. I held her gently and felt her breath gasp over my skin.

"Please." I repeated quietly, unsure whether she could hear me over the volumes of her own thoughts.
