Hi guys! Is everyone enjoying it so far?

I did have a reviewer ask about character death and putting a warning in for people that might have a trigger for such situations. Worry not! This is just the beginning of the story! So, character deaths... shouldn't be a problem. The situation though... is there. If that makes sense. I don't wanna give it away too much. But if you've already read the original version of this story, then you know sorta what's coming.

***I will give you a tissue warning right now!***

This is gonna probably be the roughest chapter, so if you do have any sort of trigger for that kind of thing, proceed with caution.

But other than that, happy reading! I'll see y'all on the other side!

Chapter 3

EPOV

I can't believe my life has turned out this way.

Who would have thought two years ago that I would be getting married, having a child with my fiancée, and getting the job that I have dreamt about having since I was in high school?

I prayed and prayed that she would say 'yes' tonight. I didn't doubt that she would accept my proposal, but my Bella has done stranger things in the past. So I wouldn't have put it past her to make me work for it.

But she said 'yes'. Then made me even happier by telling me I was going to be a daddy.

When it finally sank in while we were dancing, the tears finally came. I had never thought I would be emotional about becoming a father, but it was different with Bella.

Everything was different with her.

I guess it was all of it coming together at once.

How can one person take in the fact that all of their dreams are, in fact, coming true, and not become emotional about it?

I am the luckiest fucker on the planet right now.

We were walking back over to the car when Bella spoke up again.

"What do you want first? A boy or a girl?"

First? As in more than one child in our future? I really fucking liked the sound of that.

I had to think for a minute, though. Sure every man wants a little boy they can teach how to play sports or take them fishing, do manly bonding shit together. Every man also wants a little boy to carry on his family's name. More so with me since I'm an only child and my parents are gone. But the thought of a little Bella running around brought the biggest smile to my face.

I can just see her with her big brown eyes, long brown hair, cute button nose, pale skin… God, she'd be a vision.

"A girl. Definitely a girl first. Just the thought of having a little you running around the house makes me want to jump around like a crazy person. She's going to be so beautiful. She's going to look just like you." I tell her, pulling her hand up to my lips and kissing it.

I saw the blush creep up on her face and I knew she wanted a girl, too.

"Yeah, but I see her with your eyes, your angular features, even your hair color. She would be absolutely perfect. The female version of you. Oh shit… We're going out and buying a gun the day she turns twelve. We're going to have boys knocking down our front door at all hours trying to win her heart. Edward, I don't think I'm going to deal well with that." I could see the worry in her eyes when she turned to look at me.

I chuckled at her. "Bells, don't worry. I'm already all over thinking up places to look for one… Actually, I am a little worried about that. She's going to be gorgeous no matter what, so we're going to have to beat guys off with a stick."

We made it back to the car and I opened her door for her so she could slip in. It was just starting to rain, and I'm glad we were able to get in a walk on the pier before it started pouring.

I walked over to the driver side and got in and started our way back home.

"So what if we have a boy? If we do have a boy, there's no doubt that I think he will look like you. How could he not?" She asked when we got on the road to go back the outskirts of Seattle, and the rain started to come down in sheets.

"Hmmm, I wouldn't mind a little me. You saw my baby pictures that I brought over from my parent's old place. I was damn cute." I said.

She laughed heartily. "Yes, you were the cutest baby I've ever seen. What about names? I know how much you have always been against your name, so what other names should we think about?"

She was totally right. How many people want to be named 'Edward'? I'd always kind of resented the name, but I deal with it.

"What about for a girl, Olivia? I've always loved that name." I told her, trying to think of anything to go with it.

"Oh, I love that name. It's so beautiful. Ok so what about for a boy? I've always kind of liked the name Shane or Jackson." She suggested.

"Really? You want to name our son Jackson Masen? It'll sound like a fucking law firm. I like Shane though. Shane Masen sounds good." I laughed at possibly naming our son to sound like a law firm, as we were coming around to some of the back roads that will lead back into town.

"You may have a point… Ok, so we can still think of some others if we're not totally sure on these. I mean we have eight more months to figure it out and we still don't know what we're… EDWARD, LOOK OUT!" She yelled when we came around the curve and saw a car that was stalled.

There was no way I was going to be able to stop. I tried to slam on the brakes, but swerved and I couldn't tell what was going on anymore. All I could hear were screaming tires, and the glass of the windows busting all around us.

But what I heard loud and clear, were the screams coming from Bella. I tried to put my hand out to cover her at least, so there was at least some sort of cushioning to any blow that came her way.

I couldn't tell if we were right side up, or where we were on the road, or if we were even still on the road anymore. But I suddenly felt my hand slip away from Bella's body and I was landing roughly on a very hard surface. I think it might have been the asphalt, but I couldn't be sure from being so disoriented.

I must have blacked out because I was seeing a small girl, with long, bronze hair flowing down her back. She was skipping around in a meadow, in a blue sundress.

I looked up and saw Bella in a white sundress as well that was flowing all around her. She was smiling and watching the little girl run around and she even started chasing her around.

The little girl ran around some more, then turned to look directly at me.

Staring me in the eye, were the exact same eyes as Bella's. Big, brown, penetrating and beautiful eyes that I fell in love with years ago.

This was her. This was our daughter. It had to be her. Her face was pretty much shaped like mine, but she had Bella's sweet little lips. She was absolutely perfect. I could cry at how beautiful she was. She was the perfect blend of Bella and me. She was radiant. An absolute vision to see.

She turned back around and ran straight into Bella's waiting arms. Bella caught her, but they were then enveloped in a bright light where I could no longer see them.

I jolted into consciousness and tried to open my eyes. I could feel a slight drizzle of rain coming down on my skin, so I must be outside of the car.

My head hurt like hell and I was sure I had some broken bones. It hurt everywhere. It was hard to move, but I finally was able to move my head and open my eyes. I could tell I landed on the road, not far from the car. What I saw when I looked closer at the car, got me into motion.

Bella was hanging halfway out of the car with her head on the door and I could see blood coming from her arm and head.

I slowly got myself where I could crawl towards the car, and felt that my arm was broken at least, and a few ribs. So I was only using one arm to crawl. My vision was kind of blurry, and knew it was probably a concussion, but I couldn't worry about that right now.

"Bells? BELLA!" I yelled out to her as I made my way over to the car.

The front end was wedge into a tree, which crushed most of it.

I looked into the car and saw that she wasn't stuck, so at least I could get her out. I needed to see if her neck was alright though before I moved her.

"Bells, baby look at me. Open your beautiful eyes for me, honey." I tried to coax her into consciousness but all I got was a whimper. That was at least something. "Sweetheart, come on. Look at me… I need to see if you're ok… Baby, please open up and look at me." I kept trying, and feeling that my lungs were burning.

I saw a fluttering of her eyelashes and thanked God that, at least, she could hear me. I was feeling weird and wondering exactly what else I hit because it was becoming harder to focus on things.

"That's it baby. Come on… I need to check you out… At least tell me if you can move or feel your neck. Then I can get you out of here."

I could see her chest starting to heave a little bit. I knew she was starting to come around some. But she was going to start panicking. I knew her.

"Babe, I need you to calm down… I know you're scared but we're going to get you out of here." I tried calming her, and myself, at the same time.

"Ed… Edward, it hurts." She slightly whispered in a pained, rough voice.

Oh shit. Something's wrong. It could be the baby or internal injuries. Fuck, I needed to get her out of there.

"Bells, can you move your neck at all for me?"

She slowly turned her head up to look at me and I could see the blood covering her face.

"Any pain in your neck?" I asked her.

"N…no. Edward, get me the hell out of here. I think… It's… hard to breathe."

That's all I needed to hear. I undid her seatbelt and reached under her and picked her up bridal style and pulled her over to the grassy area and knelt down and rested her in my arms. She was still heaving breaths and it didn't sound good.

"Babe, what else hurts?"

Her eyes were pretty unfocused and that started freaking me out.

"It hurts… Everywhere Edward… I don't know… what's wrong."

There were tears forming in my eyes now. And I could feel something warm rolling down my forehead and felt it fall into my eye and mixing with the tears. I saw that it was red. Shit, my head's bleeding. That's not good. Fuuuuuuck.

Bella's eyes were wanting to close. Never a good sign.

"Keep your eyes open for me, sweetheart. I need to see those beautiful brown eyes." Shit, she's not going to stay conscious for long. I need to keep talking to her. "Olivia's going to have those beautiful brown eyes, baby… I saw her." Her eyes slowly opened to look at me. And I nodded to her. "When I was out… I saw her and how perfect she was… She had your eyes, and those cute lips of yours... I need you to stay awake for me so we can meet her together… I don't know if I'm going to be able to stay awake much longer… So I need you to fight, too… We need to fight for her."

"Edward… please just… hold me…" She whimpered.

The tears were coming full force from me now.

"Bells, please stay with me. I can't lose you two… I won't survive without you, baby. I need you." I began to cry. I can't lose the two most important people in the world to me.

I could feel myself starting to falter. I'm not sure if I'm going to be able to hold it together much longer. And if she loses consciousness again, it could be the last time. Damn it, this can't be happening to us. We were getting our dream, and it can't just be yanked out from under us like this.

"Edward… kiss me…" she started gasping and struggling to breathe.

God, no, not now. You can't take her away from me.

I leaned down and kissed her, in what could be our last kiss. I took her bottom lip in between my lips and sucked gently. It was one of her favorites. Then I kissed her nose, her eyes, each cheek. And I just held her closely.

Her breathing started to slow down and I was quickly losing the battle to stay lucid.

I leaned down to her ear and whisper right before I fell over the edge. "I love you both so much. I'll see you soon." Then felt the darkness consume me.

BPOV

All I could see was blackness all around me. But, I could slowly start to see cascading bronze locks of hair.

No… it can't be… oh God, I have to protect her. I can't lose her.

But as soon as the flash of bronze passed by me, I felt myself being picked up and moved. And then there was a searing pain everywhere in my body. It felt like fire and complete and utter torture.

It felt like it was never going to end.

This has to be what it feels like to die. Excruciating pain and darkness.

I can't lose my baby. I can't leave Edward. We're supposed to live to be old and grey with our children around us and grandchildren running around the yard. It's not supposed to end like this.

I've never been a religious person, but please God, don't let me leave the two most important people I've ever had in my life. They need me.

What's going to happen to him if I'm gone? Shit… I can't even think about that. He'll be devastated. And if the baby is gone along with me, he will be completely crushed. He's a strong man, but I don't know if he could come back from something like this.

I made a decision to hold onto the thoughts of Edward, and the flash of bronze hair that had to belong to our little girl. Our little Olivia.

I resolved that I would fight like hell to get back to both of them. I would hold on for Olivia and keep her safe.

I WILL keep her safe.

A/N: Sooooooo, I'm gonna go hide now...

Hopefully that wasn't too bad for some of y'all. I've dealt with family members (more than one) being in fatal car accidents. It was some of the roughest times i can remember. So, I can relate to to anyone that has a hard time dealing with these kinds of things.

I'll see y'all tomorrow!
