Over the next week, we got into a good routine with the babies and the boys had me pump for bottles so that they could help feed them at night as well.
It was time to take them for their first doctor's appointment though, and it was at Fork's General because there wasn't a pediatrician in La Push.
I still had the residual fear in the back of my mind about there being danger outside of the reservation even though the danger had passed.
Sam drove me to their appointment, and we carried them inside in their carseats. Jared was patrolling and Paul was in Port Angeles looking into a construction job for Sam.
When we got inside, we had to wait for them to call us back to the exam room, and Levi decided to require a diaper change. I looked around for our diaper bag, but I apparently had forgotten it in the truck.
"I need to run out to the truck to get the diaper bag. Can you hand me the keys?" I asked Sam.
"I can go—"
"No, I need the exercise. It's just outside and Jared's patrolling nearby. I'll be fine, Sam. You stay here with the babies." I told him and he knew I wasn't going to give up on it. He reluctantly handed me the keys and I walked outside to the truck.
Just as I was unlocking the truck, I felt freezing cold hands wrap around my arms and I knew exactly who it was.
Edward.
Next thing I know, I was passing by trees so fast I couldn't hardly see them.
I screamed as loud as I could, knowing that Jared was patrolling. Sam had our babies, so I knew they were safe.
I could see my wolf running as fast as he could behind us, howling loudly to alert the others. I continued to scream and beg for him to let me go, but it was fruitless.
I knew the area where his hands were holding me so tightly around my ribs was definitely bruised if not cracked and it already hurt to breathe.
I also knew that Edward was the fastest of the Cullens and that he might be able to outrun the wolves.
I could see the other wolves joining in on the chase and I prayed that they could take him out, even if it meant me getting hurt more so that they could do so. I knew they couldn't take him out without hurting me, and I was willing to bet that Edward was holding me to his chest for that particular reason.
Suddenly we stopped so fast that my head slung forward and I felt a terrible pain inside my skull before everything went black.
I must not have been out long because we were still in the same position when I woke.
I looked around, trying to ignore the ringing in my ears and the horrible pain in my head. I saw my pack closing in behind us and I looked the other direction to see all of the Cullens in front of us.
"Edward, let her go, now." Carlisle told him commandingly.
"No! She belongs with me! She's my mate!" He growled at them, crouching predatorily.
"She's not your mate, Edward." Rosalie ground out with a sneer. "You're delusional. Just let her go! She just had her children! They need her!"
"The mutt's spawn are just fine with their mutt of a father." He gritted his teeth. I started hitting him as hard as I could despite the pain in my hands doing so.
"My children need me! I can't leave them! Please!" I cried. "LET ME GO!"
"Your body isn't even healed yet, you're still bleeding Isabella! I can heal you! I can save you!" He yelled, sounding completely insane.
"Of course she's not healed yet, you idiot! She just gave birth to two babies! She'll be bleeding for a while! It's NORMAL! She's not going to die!" Rosalie yelled back at him.
"Edward, she's perfectly healthy. Let her go." Carlisle pleaded calmly as he inched forward towards us.
"You're hurting her. She's in pain now from you." Jasper told him angrily.
"Just let her go, there will be someone else out there for you." Alice attempted with no luck.
"Three of them, Carlisle, she's been with THREE of them! AT THE SAME TIME! They cohabitate like some sort of disgusting creatures, taking turns with her like she's some type of a scarlet woman! They lie to her, telling her they're mated to her when she's MY MATE!" He screeched.
Jared growled loudly and bared his teeth as he got much closer as well.
"Stay right there, you mutt, or I'll bite her now!" Edward threatened, making my wolf whine in response.
I knew Jared was close enough to attack without me getting bitten by Edward though.
I looked right in Jared's eyes and mouthed 'please' to him as Edward turned his attention back to Carlisle. I could hear him whine again. He didn't want to hurt me.
I knew he wouldn't do it, wouldn't purposefully hurt me unless I ordered him, no matter how much I didn't want to, but it may be our only chance to take him down for good. I couldn't let him hurt me or my family ever again. It needed to happen.
I swallowed nervously, mouthed an 'I'm sorry' to Jared before preparing myself for impact as I yelled commandingly, "TAKE HIM OUT NOW!"
It all happened so quick that all I could feel was terrible pain in my arm and my collarbone on the other side as I impacted with something. I didn't pass out though.
I only saw a blur of motion as the pack as well as Rosalie and Emmett attempted to rip Edward apart in front of me. I felt more cold hands on me and instinctively tensed before realizing it was Carlisle.
"We need to get you to the hospital right away, Bella. Please allow me to do so." I blinked my tears away and nodded to him before feeling him lift carefully and take off at full speed.
As soon as I saw the hospital in view, I felt myself getting dizzy and then things finally went black, taking the pain away.
A/N- Sparkle boy makes his grand reappearance. What repercussions do you think the actions in this chapter will have?
