A/N: So here's the next chapter. I've started rereading Breaking Dawn. Boy I have forgotten. I can't wait for Midnight Sun, we have preordered it, and the few excerpts I've read are hilarious.

A/N: I want to say I am Pro choice. I believe that women have the right to choose what they want to do with their own body. So, Bella choosing to sacrifice herself for her own kid is completely her choice. I'm pretty sure Leah agreed with that sentiment given her lack of control over her life. Especially given now that she is tied to Alice for all eternity in this fic. So that is my opinion, you do not have to agree. That said, please read, enjoy, and review.

Chapter 15: Bella's Home

-()-

Bella was pregnant, and she wanted to keep it. Most likely it was going to kill her, and that left Alice feeling ….tired for the first time since she became a vampire. She had called Rosalie of all people to help her in this hair brained idea that the thing inside of her wouldn't kill her, and would come out a bouncing baby boy. She was muttering under her breath, and Leah and Jasper sat on the bed, and watched her unravel. Leah stood up, and placed her hands on Alice's shoulders, and she felt Jasper push serenity into her mind. Alice hissed at him, and he immediately withdrew the calmness.

"Can this thing really kill her?" Leah asked, and Alice wanted to shake her for asking such a ridiculous question.

"Yes there is no way around this one for Bella she will die, and she's my best friend, how can she just leave us all so heartbroken for some abomination. She's my best friend," then she broke down heaved tearless sobs into the crook of Leah's neck. Jasper sped over to the two women and pulled them to him. Letting his wife grieve for a woman that isn't even dead yet. Leah looked at Jasper for a moment, and their heart broke for their mate. They knew this was crazy. Esme was going to back up Rosalie, which got most of the house onboard with Bella's crazy idea. Edward didn't even know yet. They'd be home in a few hours. Sue and Emily had left before any info could be divulged to them. Thankfully, Leah didn't want Jacob or worse Sam to know about this yet.

"Alice baby, I need you to look at me," Leah said, her voice gentle and soft.

Lice looked up at Leah, the first person in her fife to surprise her in a long time, the woman she had grown to care for, "I know this doesn't help, but we can't do anything until they come home, please let us take care of you until they do. Then maybe we can talk sense into Bella."

Alice thought for a moment, and then decided to live in the moment not even one second into the future. She nodded slightly, and Leah looked at Jasper, "Sit at the head of the bed."

Jasper did as Leah asked. Then she scooped Alice up bridal style, and stood up on the bed. Then as carefully as possible lowered herself onto Jasper's lap. She wasn't sure she wanted to be this close to the vampire, but for Alice she could deal with it. Together they formed a cocoon of sorts around the shorter woman their arms wrapped around her. Her legs tucked under her chin, and their legs tangled together. Alice was warm for the first time since she can remember. She was still tense; she probably wouldn't relax until Bella was back. She tried once again to gaze at her future, and it just made her head hurt. Jasper gently let tranquility trickle into her brain, and Alice allowed it she needed to be calm.

Bella and Edward arrived home two hours later, and Alice removed herself from Jasper and Leah's embrace, and she was immediately chilled. They went down the stairs, and saw the shock on Edward's face as Bella flew to Rosalie's side, and told Edward she was keeping the baby.

"Bella," Alice said from the bottom of the stairs.

"Alice," Bella said smiling hopefully.

"Bella you have to see that this is crazy, this...thing will kill you."

Rosalie snarled in Alice's direction, and Leah growled back, "Enough," Esme said, "This is Bella's choice it's her body, now I don't want to hear another word about this tonight it's late,and the people that sleep in this house need to get some sleep."

Rosalie gently guided Bella into the house. Leah looked over at Edward, who just looked heartbroken. He turned to Alice and nodded, then sullenly walked in after his agreed with Esme it was Bella's body, but Bella also had a tendency to be a damn martyr, according to Jake. that thought must have reached Edward because suddenly he was in front of Leah, "You're friends with Jacob," it wasn't a question, and his eyes started to look a little wild.

"Yeah," Leah said looking at this man, who was starting to look a little feral.

"Bring him here to see her, to see me I have a proposition for him. Maybe she'll listen to him."

"I can try, but-"

"But what Leah," this came from Alice who had a hard edge to her voice. Leah shrank away from her, and sighed.

"It is her body, now I'm not saying let the thing kill her I'm not, I'm just saying she should have a choice not many of us get a choice."

"So let her die."

"No! Use science to save her. My DNA has healing properties, Carlisle has been studying it, maybe a transfusion or something could help when whatever is inside of her gets too strong for Bella's body, or I don't know I'm not a doctor, but Carlisle seems to be a pretty good one," Leah was grasping at straws to make her mate happy. She couldn't disappoint Alice.

"But you will try to talk to Jacob," Edward insisted, and she saw Alice's nod.

"Yeah, I'll go now," Leah said with another sigh. Then she took off for the woods.

Thankfully no one else was shifted right now. Her thoughts were too jumbled to suppress them. She shifted outside of Billy's place, and dressed quickly. She knocked on Jacob's window, she didn't want to risk waking anyone else up. Jacob looked at her confused, "Leah, what are you doing here?"

"I need you to come to the Cullens place."

His expression was thunderous, "Why Bella's dead?"

"Not quite yet, listen something has happened, and Edward thinks you're the only one that can talk some sense into Bella."

"How does he figure that? She never has before, and how do you know anyway?"

"I'll explain on the way for now I need you to grab your bike, we can't go shifted someone might here, and I need you to see this to believe it."

"Fine, but I'll kill him if she is harmed."

"Alright," Leah said knowing that once everything is explained they might have to tie him up using a steel cable to keep him away from Edward.

Alice was pacing, again, keeping one ear trained on her sleeping friend, and another on the woods. She was praying for the first time in well awhile that Leah had been successful, though her idea about the blood perhaps had some merit. She would have to talk to Carlisle. Also that meant her and Edward weren't pinning all their hopes on a kid who had lost the love of his young life, multiple times. Then she heard the rumble of a motorcycle coming up the drive. Both Edward and Alice rushed forward to the sound. She saw Leah behind Jacob on his bike. She had to bite the possessiveness at having Leah so close to Jacob. She noticed Edward's head snap over to her for a moment. Alice was going to miss having her thoughts private, especially when it came to Leah. The two shifters walked over to the two vampires. Edward immediately said, "Jacob I need to talk to you privately."

"Bella first," Jake bit out.

"Jake just hear him out first, this might shock you otherwise," Leah said gently. She had always liked Jacob, they'd bonded in their bitterness.

Jacob looked at his friend a moment then nodded very slightly, "I'm giving you ten minutes Leech then you better take me to her."

"Deal."

The two men left, and Alice and Leah were left in the garage. Alice looked worried, and Leah knew she was keeping one ear on Bella. Making sure she was still breathing. Leah gently placed her hands on Alice's arms rubbing them gently. Alice looked at Leah for a moment. She looked weary. Alice picked her hand up off her shoulder, and laced her fingers together, "Let's get you to bed."

"That sounds nice," Leah said with a yawn. Then followed Alice up to her and Jasper's room. He was already there and ready for bed.

"Please stay Leah. I need both of you."

Leah nodded, and went to get her pajamas. When she came back Alice's head was resting on Jasper's chest. The short woman waved Leah over. Leah crawled in behind Alice. She threw one of her legs over Alice and Jasper's. She reached over to cover Jasper's hand; that was covering Alice's. Leah let herself relax, and tried to let her thoughts keep quiet. She had just started to drift off when she heard Rosalie growl, "How dare you bring that fleabag here to change her mind."

Leah sighed, and tried to roll out of bed. Alice gripped the hand on top of Jasper, "Don't move, don't you dare."

Leah settled back onto the bed, "We'll deal with the lunacy in the morning, besides, Bella is asleep, there's no way Rosalie is going to let Jacob wake her up," Jasper said, and Leah was able to settle back onto the bed, and into sleep.
