Hi you guys I know it's been a while so don't kill me and I am truly sorry about that. I had surgery back in June and had a few complications due to that surgery as well as some other issues dealing with everyday life.

Anyways I won't bore you with the details so I'm just going to jump right into things and I hope you enjoy this new chapter. I know finally right so go back and reread the last chapter and I hope you love this new chapter.

It may take a while before I can update again I'm not really sure and this won't be that long since I haven't updated since May.

Thanks for all the love and Pm's I'm sorry I haven't been able to respond to everyone but I promise I will get to you guys over the next few days.

Read, and Review!

"Please Nik be careful! "

"I'm sorry love I am trying I just want to get you in bed as quickly as possible the doctor said bed rest for the next few weeks."

"Well what does she know? I'm perfectly fine and so is the baby. You got plenty of blood in me before it was too late I'm just a little sore is all."

"I would think as your future stepmother and as a doctor she would know a lot. Besides you gave me quite a scare when I couldn't hear your heartbeat at first which is music to my ears."

"Yeah, yeah can we stop and get something to eat I'm starving. I swear since the accident I've been a lot more hungrier then usual."

"Of course we can love and you are pregnant so I'm pretty sure that plays a role in your hunger pains. What are you in the mood for? "

"I guess a Burger from the Grill because that hospital food was completely disgusting."

"I would think you would be used to it by now seeing as how often you are actually in the hospital which I still feel terrible about because this time it was my fault."

"No Nik it wasn't your fault it was Alice Cullen's fault and I can't wait to get my hands on her she almost killed our baby."

"I know love and she is long gone right now but I have people looking so don't worry we will get her."

We made it to the grill and picked up a couple of burgers and headed home to my death sentence of complete bed rest for at least a few weeks. I would much rather be home then the hospital so I would gladly do the time especially since our baby survived.

Once we made it home Nik carried me in the house. My feet have not touched the floor since the accident two weeks ago between Nik and Rebekah and Caroline. Nik has not left my side and I didn't see that changing anytime soon. He was having a hard time forgiving himself after everyone told him it wasn't his fault he still blamed himself.

After eating my burger and most of Nik's I went to go to the restroom but Nik decided I needed to be carried.

"Nik please I can walk to the bathroom alone."

"I know love but I can get you there faster and without falling."

If it wasn't for his killer smile I may have slapped him but I really had to use the bathroom so I just kept my mouth shut. Once we made it back to the bedroom after I had a nice long bath Nik got some of my favorite books together and I started reading while he handled some business calls in the bed next to me.

I eventually woke up in the middle of the night needing to use the bathroom once again. Since Nik was asleep I moved to go by myself knowing he hasn't had a good night sleep in weeks. However I didn't see Rebekah in the doorway and she blurred over to help me.

"Goodness Bekah I can walk to the bathroom by myself and you almost made me have a heart attack."

"I know you can go by yourself but I was walking by the room to check on you guys and I saw you stirring. I wasn't sure if you were hot or cold plus I don't want you falling flat on your face we nearly lost you Bella. You can't blame us for being worried."

"You're right I can't blame you guys for being worried but if you all keep carrying me now what will you do when I can walk and actually do end up falling. What happens when the baby gets here and I've gotten so used to being carried I drop my own child? Then what Bekah?"" I asked now breaking down.

"I got it from here Rebekah." I heard Nik say quietly.

"I'm sorry Nik I was only trying to help I didn't mean to make her cry honestly."

"I know it's just she's been through a lot and add the stress and hormones on top of it all and it can take a toll on anyone and we all know how Bella is."

Nik came around the bed and after helping me in the bathroom and making sure I was calm he looked me in the eyes and said, "look love I know it's a lot to have others take care of you but it's because we nearly lost you that we are annoyingly overbearing.

We're not trying to control you or treat you like an invalid it's just we want to make sure you are OK. I nearly lost you and our child and as a supernatural creature I would have died quite literally from losing my mate. You're way to important to me to lose and I would never have forgiven myself if we had lost our baby.

So just let us take care of you please I know we may be going overboard and everything but we don't do things halfway and with Alice still on the loose we just don't want you to be alone. So can you please grant us this one small favor by letting us take care of you?"

"Since you put it that way how can I refuse but please let me at least walk to the bathroom only a short distance and you can hold my hand every step of the way deal?"

"OK love that's a fair compromise and I will do my best but at the first trip or slip all bets are off and we will carry you got it?"

"Deal!"

As things slowly turned back to normal Nik finally started letting me go to the bathroom without his help but he was always withing calling distance when I needed him. Also the further along in my pregnancy I got the more I could feel the baby kick.

When I finally got released off of bed rest I wanted to shout for joy because it meant I could finally get out of the house for longer then going to the doctor or stopping by the grill. I was so stir crazy that I know I had to drive my mate up the wall with certain request and a cravings. Especially between the spaghetti and crab legs with a side of hot wings.

He is still as patient and kind as ever even with the mood swings which have not been pretty. Some days my family and friends call to see if today is a good day to stop by or not. He never gets upset with me and he just smiles through all of my craziness and see to my every need.

"So love I was thinking we could go out to dinner tonight not far but somewhere nice so we can both get out of the house and have a nice night out on the town and maybe watch a movie when we get back. What do you say?"

"Nik I look like a hideous monster and you want me to go out and scare half the town away?"

"Nonsense love beside everyone knows I'm the true monster so they will be more scared of me then you. So I take that as a yes then to going out?"

"No Nik I'm too tired I think I'm just going to eat a sandwich and go to sleep."

"OK can I still dress up while you eat your sandwich then?" He asked with his dimpled smile, knowing I could never resist him all dressed up.

"Fine we can go out just as long as we're not out too late."

What was meant to be a short night out turned out to be a long enjoyable date night with my sweet mate. We even went for a nice walk in the park that I loved and was really happy he talked me into going.

"So the reason I wanted to take you out is to talk about the names I picked out and see if we could decide on something we really like."

"OK so let's here them and they had better not be something crazy." I said teasingly.

"OK, Bailey, Izzy, Kelly, Kaydence, Mackenzie, Mickie, Skye, and Stevie. So what do you think?"

"Honestly I like all except for Stevie."

"OK well how about Shelby instead of Stevie?"

"Shelby we can work with."

We spent the car ride home talking over the names trying to find a great combination that we both liked and we both agreed on the first name but could not agree on the middle name at all and decided that it would eventually come to us.

Once we got home we took a nice long relaxing bath together and climbed in bed to watch a movie that I fell asleep during. Its been harder and harder for me to stay awake for long periods of time but I was happy to have an understanding mate.

All in all life was going great but I knew danger was lurking just around the corner.

So guys I know this was a short chapter but please understand I'm trying to get back into the swing of things after being away for so long. Be sure to pet me know what you think.

Until next time...
