Gustavo and Kaure, trying to get in touch with Bella, making breakfast that ends in surprises, going home and making alliances I never thought I would.

Elena's POV: (Opening thoughts)

Things have been better since that night. I have decided that for now... I am not ready to give up my human life. Maybe I'll go college. What's a year or two difference?


*Elena Cullen in Breaking Dawn part 1*

I head into the living room to see that Edward is seeing in two guests, a man and a woman. The woman seems worried as she spots me.

"Elena these are our housekeepers, Gustavo and Kaure," he tells me before introducing me to them in Portuguese, I only understood my own name.

The gentlemen says something and then walks off but his wife continues to stare at me. When she follows Edward turns to me and speaks. "Well I guess we just leave them to it."

I sit on the sofa besides Edward and begin to put a t-shirt on over my sweat shirt.

"What was that all about?" I ask Edward referring to Kaure.

"She's afraid for you," he says and I stare at him as he reads her thoughts through the other room.

"Why?" I ask as I pull my hair out from the back of my shirt and sit back.

My legs are now over the top of his.

He smirks. "Because I have you here, all alone."

I chuckle. "You mean she knows about you?"

"She suspects," he explains to me as he smiles at my expression. "She's native Ticuna. They have legends about blood-drinking demons who prey on beautiful women."

He chuckles and leans forward and we begin to kiss.

"MONSTER!" I hear Kaure say and I look at her to see she is holding a bag full of feathers and the seems to have gotten the wrong idea. As soon as she sees he is not biting me she leaves.

Edward seems to be fighting the urge to laugh.


That night I pull out my phone. I try to ring Bella for the sixth time in the last few days. No answer. I decide to leave a message.

"Hey Bells it's me again!" I say rubbing the back of my head. "Just wanted to ask how the doctors appointment went? Please ring me back as soon as possible."

Edward comes in and glances at me. He frowns at the worried look painted all over my face.

"You okay?" He says but he notices the number I had been ringing and the name. "Bella still not picking up?"

I shake my head and he sighs.

"I just want to know she's okay," I tell him and he nods.

"I get that," he says as I sit down and prepare for bed. "We'll try again tomorrow but you're tired."

I nod and lay down. Before I know it I am asleep.


It is so hot. That is my first thought as I feel like I am cooking when I wake up... Where is my personal freezer also known as my husband.

I whisper into the day. "Edward."

I hear nothing so I open my eyes and look next to me to see the bed empty. I sigh as I sit up and see he is nowhere in the room. But he would've heard me if he was in the house.

I get out of bed and get into some slacks and a thin white shirt. Then I head out of the bedroom.

I enter the kitchen to see that he is not there and I wonder where he has gone. Their is a note on the counter when I get to it. It is in Edward's handwriting.

I've gone to the mainland to hunt. Be back before you wake, Edward.

I place the note back down and speak. "You're late."

My stomach feels empty so I head for the fridge. Chicken sounds good right now. I grab the ceramic tray that has some raw chicken in it.

I also grab some peanut butter as it looks like a good appetizer.

I begin to fry the chicken in a pan. I also have a spoon which I keep using to scoop out some peanut butter. I am so hungry for some reason.

I flip the chicken over as I eat a chunk of peanut butter.

I am that hungry that I eat the chicken as soon as it is out of the pan and it begins to scorch my mouth. After a few pieces I begin to slow my chewing. This tastes a little off.

I pull a piece back to see it is red in the middle. I chew a few more times before I feel the need to be sick and run for the bathroom. I couldn't have cooked it properly.


I am now on my knees leaning over the toilet bowl, puking my guts up. I know how Bella felt now. Maybe she gave herself food poisoning.

I finally stop throwing up and lean back.

"Elena," I hear Edward say from behind me and I glance at the door where I can see through the blinds he is stood outside the bathroom.

"Hey don't come in here," I tell him embarrassed as I flush the chain. I close the toilet door and sit down on it. "You don't need to see this."

He leans down in front of me and smiles. "In sickness and health remember?"

I tuck a piece of hair behind my ear as I explain what is wrong with me.

"It must have been the chicken," I explain to him as I try to rid the taste of my mouth and he chuckles. I decide some Pepto bismol will help settle my stomach and I have some in my travel bag. I motion at it to Edward. "Could you grab me my bag?"

He grabs it off of the sink where I had left it. He opens it for me and places it on the floor in front of me. As I pull it towards me something catches my eye. The box of tampax.

I pause before looking up as I try to think what the date is. Edward notices my reaction as I sit back and think some more.

He glances at the bag before back at me. "What is it?"

I get to my feet and still think about how long we've been here.

"How many days has it been since the wedding?" I ask him as I walk away from the toilet.

He stands up and looks worried as I turn to him. "Fourteen. Why?"

I begin to add up the numbers but all of them tell me one thing.

"Will you tell me what's going on?" He scoffs wondering what is wrong with me.

I look down.

"I'm late," I begin before walking away from him. "My period it's late."

I stop as I reach the mirror and I notice something. A slight bulge sticking out. This isn't happening. I place my hand on my stomach to feel the bulge is slightly hard. I cannot be pregnant and even if I was I could not feel a bump this early. I turn so I my side is facing the mirror and lift my shirt a little. There still seems to be a bulge.

"That's impossible," I say as I stare at the bump before I turn to my husband who is silent but I want his opinion. "Can this happen?"

He seems at a loss for words. I then begin to turn towards him with my hand still on my stomach.

"Whoa!" I think as a sudden movement inside my stomach shocks me.

Edwards phone suddenly begins to ring. I glance at him but he seems unable or unwilling to move as his phone continues to ring. I decide to go and grab his phone myself.

I go over to him and take his phone out of his pocket. There's only one reason Alice can be calling. I think as I see the caller ID.

"Alice," I say as I answer the phone and hold it to my ear.

"Elena?" She asks and for some reason I hear a hint of worry in her tone. "Are you all right?"

I don't really know how to answer that. I am either insane or pregnant. "I'm not 100% sure."

"Why?" She asks still worried. "What's wrong? I just..."

"You just what...?" I ask guessing she has had a vision but when she does not answer I worry for the safety of my baby. "Alice, what did you see?"

She doesn't answer my question she just tells me... "Here's Carlisle."

My father in law comes on the phone. "Elena, what's going on?"

I glance at Edward who has still not moved since I voiced my thoughts of why I am sick.

"I don't know I'm a little worried can vampires go into shock?" I ask him only half joking with the way my husband is still staring into thin air.

"Has Edward been harmed?" He asks trying to keep calm but I can tell he is worried.

"No," I reassure him as I glance at Edward again before looking down trying to find the right words. "I know that it's impossible, but I think I'm pregnant. Whoa!" Once again I feel a nudge to back me up on my predictions. I gasp as it was quite strong to say I can be no more than 14 days pregnant. "Carlisle I swear something just moved inside of me."

That last line finally got Edward to move and he comes over and takes the phone out of my hand. He quickly puts the phone to his ear and begins to whisper to Carlisle. I cannot hear the replies.

"What's he saying?" I ask keeping my hand on my stomach. They exchange a few more words before Edward closes the phone. "Well?"


The next thing I know he is speeding around the room packing as I stand against the door ledge.

As he zips up the last bag he frowns.

"Damn it!" He groans before their is a knock on the door. "Kaure's making sure you're still alive."

He heads for the front door and I try to process what is happening. I'm pregnant... I'm gonna be a mom.

I walk into the bathroom, looking down, still not believing what is happening. I never seen myself as a mother, as becoming one... until now. I cannot imagine my life now without this baby.

I stand in front of the mirror and place my hands on my stomach. I look down at my slightly bulging stomach before I look back up.

I hear Edward arguing with the woman Kaure as they head for this room. Kaure enters first and she looks shocked as she looks at me.

Then horror fills her face as she turns to Edward who had just spoken to her. She says something in portugese to answer him before looking back at me.

"What?" I ask Edward as I walk towards them with one hand still on my stomach.

Edward walks past her and towards me as she continues to stare at my hand which is still on my stomach.

"Her people have legends," Edward explains to me and I go wide eyed. "She might have seen this before."

He speaks to her more in Portuguese. Her expression softens a little. He then repeats one of his words and she seems to nod.

She glances at me before she begins to walk towards me. When she gets close enough she gives me a look that is clearly requesting permission. She places one hand on my shoulder and then the other gently on my stomach.

She closes her eyes as she keeps one hand on my stomach. After a few seconds we both look up and meet each others eyes.

She says a word and even I know what it must mean. Edward goes stone faced. How can carrying a baby... just because it's a vampire's baby... mean death.

I watch as Kaure, turns away from me, glances at Edward... before leaving.

Edward stares at my stomach where my hand is still placed. He seems to be trying to glare at my baby on the inside. I glance down, still shocked at what Kaure had said.

"I'm not gonna let it hurt you," Edward practically snarls and I look up at him in shock at his tone of voice. "Carlisle'll get that thing out!"

I look down and repeat the word that hit me the hardest. "Thing?"

I can't let him hurt the baby... our baby.


We are now in the car on the way to the airport. I glance at Edward who has not spoken one word to me since we left isle Esme. He is continuing to stare forward. I then turn to face forwards.

No matter how many times I turn to look at Edward he never turns to me.

We finally arrive at the airport where there is a plane waiting. I turn to the window as Edward speaks to me. "Wait here while we load."

I do not turn until he is out of the car and has closed the door. The driver then also gets out.

I glance to where he is shaking the driver's hand and I bite my lip. There's only one person who I think will understand and will help me. Because she's always wanted a child of her own.

I pull his phone out of his bag. I begin to ring the number I want to and I am happy when she answers nearly straight away.

"Hello?" Rosalie's voice asks gently.

"Rosalie," I say letting her know who it is.

"Elena?" She says sounding a little shocked to hear my voice. "What's going on?"

I glance out the window to see Edward glance at me but if he sees the phone in my hand he doesn't say anything.

I just say four words. "I ned your help."
