[Four Days later]
Bella felt the fog lifting, and she groaned and shifted. Her head was still hurting, and she was confused for a moment. She opened her eyes, blinking a few times slowly, to adjust her vision. She was in a hospital. She moved her hand, feeling something in her hand, and it was Simon's hand. He was sitting, there his hand in hers and his head rested on his arm, leaned on the bed.
Simon felt Bella moved her hand, and it woke him up, and he sat up, and saw Bella's eyes open and looking at him. "Bella." He cried and stood and kissed her. "Oh baby, you're awake."
"Simon." She murmured. "Are you okay?"
"I'm okay now that you're awake now." He said, tears in his eyes.
Bella smiled weakly. "Simon…I'm pregnant." She murmured.
"I know. That was the last thing you said to me." Simon said, wiping the tears from his face. He took the sonogram picture out of his pocket and handed it to her. "Um. Everything looks great. You were 9 weeks and 3 days when they did the first ultrasound." He said, and Bella took the picture and looked at their baby.
Tears came to her eyes. "It's okay?"
"Yes. Really healthy." Simon said and lifted her hand to his lips and kissed it. "I was so scared you wouldn't wake up. The doctor said that it could be any day, or it could take longer. The brain heals itself when we're sleeping."
Bella swallowed. "We're having a baby." She murmured.
Simon smiled, leaning up to kiss her again. "We are. I'm so happy Bella. Nothing matters more to me than you and our baby."
Bella felt the tears fall. "I was so scared you'd be upset."
"I would never be upset with you Bella. We talked about having a family one day, and you know how I feel about children."
"It's so soon. I thought the birth control was-"
"It doesn't matter. We're okay. All three of us." He said and kissed her again.
A nurse came in, seeing Bella was awake. "This is good news. Bella, how are you feeling dear?" She asked as she looked at Bella's vitals, and then the baby's vitals.
"A small headache." Bella told the nurse.
"That's expected." The nurse said with a smile. "Everyone looks good. The doctor will do another ultrasound, check on growth, give you an exact due date and for you to follow up with your doctor in New York."
Bella nodded. "Thank you." She said and looked at Simon. "Can I have water?"
Simon nodded, standing and kissing her. "I'll be right back." He murmured and left to get her some ice water.
"He hasn't left." The nurse said. "The red head brings him food and clothes to change into, but he hasn't left your side since you got here."
"I figured." Bella said with a smile.
Simon returned with a cup with ice water in it and brought it to Bella. She sipped on it, and then the doctor came in a short while later.
"Alright Mrs. Lewis, let's take a look at the baby, and I want to do another CT of your head, to clear you completely, and then we can discharge." He said with a smile. He rolled the machine over, and Bella lifted her shirt. The doctor rolled the wand over her belly and smiled. "Strong heartbeat. Everything looks good. You're about 10 weeks now."
Bella and Simon looked at the screen, in awe of the small life that she was carrying. The doctor printed the picture and handed it to them. "Congrats you two." He said and then he left to put in the order for the CT.
Simon kissed her. "Look how little it is." He murmured.
"I know." She said and lay a hand on her flat stomach. "I'm not showing at all."
"It's still early." Simon said. "This must be why you were throwing up so much."
"Yeah," Bella said and leaned back. She was tired feeling, but she didn't want to go to sleep, she wanted to stare at the sonogram picture longer.
[A few hours later]
Bella was discharged, and Simon drove them back to the hotel. Marcus arranged to postpone the tour, until further notice.
"The tour ends August." Bella said, in the silence.
"Marcus postponed it. We don't have to continue to tour for right now. You need to recover."
Bella looked out the window. "No, we need to finish it. We don't perform in Texas until next week yes?"
Simon frowned. "I mean, that's the next stop on the tour, but you really should rest baby. That's a lot of moving around, and you are still sort of concussed."
"I'll be okay by then. I'm sore, but I have to keep moving or the soreness will get worse. I didn't break anything."
Simon sighed. "Okay. We'll talk about it with Marcus, move Houston's show to the end of the week. Gives less time between Houston and Dallas shows. But I seriously think you should just take it easy." Simon's phone rang and he answered it with the steering wheel.
"Hey, the accident, was not an accident. It was intentional." Jace's voice came through the speaker.
Simon frowned. "Why would someone deliberately ram into us?"
"Because it was Edward." Jace said.
Bella felt her heart drop. "What?"
"Yeah, he was arrested earlier today. They were able to pull camera feed from the bank. He ditched the truck in a construction lot, and they have him on camera doing it. He was trying to board a plane back to New York, but the police caught him." Jace explained. "There's a whole list of charges. Including attempted murder."
"Wow." Simon said, shaking his head. "He hit Bella's side…Why would he try to kill her?"
"Because if he can't have me, no one can." Bella said, closing her eyes. She felt sick, thinking about it now. "Simon…"
He looked over at her and then pulled over when he realized she was feeling sick. She opened her car door and got out, bending over, and throwing up on the side of the road. "Shit, Jace, I'll call you back man. Bella is sick." He said and hung up and got out of the car and went around to help Bella.
Once she was okay, he helped her back in the car and then got back in. He started driving back towards the hotel.
Marcus called right when they pulled up. "Hey, how's Bella?"
"I'm okay Marcus." Bella answered. "We just got back to the hotel."
"I'm so sorry that you had to go through all of that. We'll book a flight for you two to come back to New York."
"No no, we'll keep going. I just need this week to rest. I'm okay, nothing is broken, and I just want to go back to normal."
"Bella, that's not expected. The fans already understand. They just want you to be okay."
"And I'll show them I'm okay." Bella said, smiling a little.
Marcus was quiet a little. "Are you 100 percent sure?"
"I am."
"Simon?"
"I tried to talk her out of it. She shouldn't dance around too much."
"Oh of course. She just got into a car accident."
"I'm pregnant Marcus." Bella said it, so Simon wouldn't have to dance around the topic.
Marcus was shocked into silence. "That's wonderful news! Yes, don't do anything crazy. Tone back the dancing by a lot. Simon, don't let her-"
"Got it Marcus. I'll take care of her. We'll see you in Cali."
"Yes, I'll see you both in Cali. Be careful. Jace is staying for security, and I've hired some guys out of Seattle that flew in this morning, to be escorts for you guys on the way back here, but I'll redirect them."
"Thank you, Marcus," Bella said and then the call ended.
Simon leaned over and kissed her. "Come on, let's get you upstairs, and I'll take really good care of you."
Bella smiled, giggling a little. "I like the sound of that." She said and they went up to their hotel room, and Simon pampered her, not sex, just caressing her softly, and rubbing her muscles, that were sore.
[Houston, White Oak Music Hall]
A news reporter was there at the music hall covering the concert.
"This is Gina with Fox 26 reporting to you live from White Oak Music Hall. The Simon Bella tour is still going on. Bella recovered at Vanderbilt earlier last week and managed to make it out of the horrifying accident with a concussion. She's reportedly in good health and spirit and requested to continue with the tour. The concert was moved to tonight from Tuesday to give the singer a chance to rest after such a terrible experience. The suspect that was at large in Bella and Simon's case has been apprehended, and has been named as Edward Cullen, the abusive ex-boyfriend from Bella's time in Washington. We're excited to see Bella tonight, healthy, and on stage, continuing a show that was originally going to be cancelled due to the uncertainty of her condition."
The lights started on the stage and Gina turned and looked. "And the show has begun. This is Gina, Fox 26, enjoy the show, Houston." She reported.
"Hello Houston!" Bella said into the mic and the crowd was roaring with cheers. "Are we ready for an amazing show?" More cheers. "Alright, here we go," she said and spun signaling the start of the music. Her dancing was limited which didn't seem to matter to the crowd, because they were excited to see Bella and Simon live.
As the last song finished, Simon dipped Bella, and kissed her on stage and the crowd cheered and whistled.
Their next stop was going to be Dallas, and then they were set for Las Vegas, Nevada, and then up to Seattle for a show and then down to Cali, hitting Los Angeles."
[July: Los Angeles: The Staples Center]
Bella was 14 weeks pregnant now, and past the first trimester. She had a small bump, and so Angela adjusted her costume a little. It was still tight, but Bella didn't mind the small bump. Her and Simon planned on announcing soon about their bundle of joy with a photoshoot with Brent and Candace.
Ruelle knocked on Bella's door, and peaked her head in. "Hey you."
Bella smiled, standing. "Maggie. Thank you for coming and performing with us."
Ruelle smiled. "When I heard your voice, I had to seriously listen closely. We do favor each other." She said and tossed her blonde hair over her shoulder. "I'm glad to see you recovering from that accident four weeks ago."
"It was scary, but I'm just happy doing music with Simon, and bringing smiles to everyone I can. It's a real honor to be on stage with you tonight."
Ruelle smiled. "I can't wait." She said and winked at her. "I've never done a duet with Monster before, so this will be fun. Stage rehearsal we sounded amazing."
Bella nodded. "I know. I can't wait either." She said and then Ruelle hugged her and left her to finish getting ready. Once she was finished, she walked out of her dressing room, and headed backstage. She found Simon. He smiled and went and kissed her, his hand moving over her belly lightly, to her waist.
"I love you." He murmured, resting his forehead against hers.
"I love you too." She said and then she went and stood on the platform under the stage that would lift up onto the stage.
'No Good', began playing and fog machines released the fog as she came up out of the stage and the strobes flickered, as she sang, and then flickered to the beat as the chorus started. When the chorus started, and the dance, Ruelle entered the stage, and did the dance and sung with Bella, their voices colliding together perfect in harmony.
The crowd cheered as Ruelle, and Bella sang and danced together on the stage. Bella's movements weren't as poppy as normal, but that was because she was pregnant, and didn't want to overdo her movements.
When 'No Good', finished, 'Monsters' started playing.
Bella was happy to be up there singing Ruelle's song with her. When their voices meshed together during the chorus, the crowd erupted as they moved around the stage together, playing off each other, like they had been singing together for a long time. It was one of the longer shows, but it was worth all the time and practice put in for it.
When the song ended, the strobes flickered again and then Simon was on stage now. 'Fragile World' started and he walked out center stage, singing to the crowd and commanding the stage like the star he was, then the chorus opened up, and Bella and Ruelle sang back up to his main vocals. He went down to the edge of the stage, and reached down, fans touching his hands, as he sang and smiled at them. The show was phenomenal, and the transitions between the songs was seamless, and the three popstars owned the stage with a mesh of Simon and Bella songs, with Ruelle's.
"Are you ready for a surprise LA?" Simon called to the crowd and they got a resounding cheer for yes.
"Give it up for Robert DeLong and K. Flay!" He said and then the music dropped 'Favorite Color is Blue', started and the duo singers rose from the stage, and started singing, alternating with Bella and Simon and Ruelle. The chorus hitting had the crowd singing out "AND NOW MY FAVORITE COLOR IS BLUE!" The vibe at the Staples center was pumping, and the show was one of the best shows that Bella has ever been apart of.
At the end, the five artists bowed to their crowd, waving at them as the lights went off on the stage.
There was some autograph signings right after, and some pictures, and Bella was thrilled with how the last show turned out.
Ruelle smiled at Bella. "I really want to do more music with you. Have your manager contact mine, let's set something up."
Bella smiled. "Of course. Thank you." She said and they hugged.
When Bella and Simon got back to the hotel, they were exhausted, Bella more so. They were done with their tour, and would be heading back to New York in the morning, but for now they were going to enjoy their last night in Los Angeles. She lay on the bed in the hotel, and Simon lay beside her, his arms around her. She snuggled into his embrace, and his hand lay on her stomach, drawing small circles over her small bump. Their baby. He was excited to be a father, and the journey he was about to take. He couldn't ask for a better woman. Bella was everything he every dreamed of and more.
"What about Liam Charles for a boy?" Simon suddenly asked.
Bella smiled. "Charles? For my dad?"
"Yeah."
"Where did you get Liam at?"
Simon smiled. "I don't know. Saw it in a baby book. Thought it sounded cool."
Bella laughed. "Liam Charles sounds perfect. But I'm pretty sure it's a girl."
"A princess then."
"Yes, and in which case, how about Harlow?"
Simon thought about it. "Harlow Willow Lewis."
"Awww, that's cute. I like it."
Simon leaned up and kissed her. "I love you."
"I love you too."
