A/N: Alright I know it's been a while, but I was having a bit of blockage for this story, hopefully the cobwebs will clear out soon.
Chapter 26: Four Days
-()-
Shock and grief rocked through Alice as her knees buckled. She felt Leah hold her up, and Jasper at her back. That was all she was aware of, all she could take in for that moment. Her best friend was dead. No, she refused. She immediately flipped through all the futures there were, Bella couldn't be dead she wouldn't allow it. If she could get the girl in heels she could survive anything. Then she saw it. Bella sparkling, and gorgeous. Hysterical laughter left Alice in a rush as she felt her legs right themselves, and relief flooded through her. "She'll be fine, I see her all shiny, and invulnerable, give her a few days." Edward looked at her with such disbelieving hope, and Alice just nodded. Then she cleared her throat, and went to sit next to her brother. She took Leah with her letting her ground her. The sheer thought of Bella dead left the short vampire on shaking ground, "What happened?" her voice was small, but sharp. It brought Edward out of his slightly hopeful stupor.
"She went into labor, it happened so fast. She was fine one minute then she vomited blood, and it broke her spine," he snarled looking over at Jacob who was glaring at him. Rosalie seemed to notice that Jake was holding the baby, and the gleam she'd had in her eyes since she found out about the baby returned. She sped over, and cooed reaching out to take the baby from Jacob, but he growled. She snarled back. Leah and Seth looked at one another in confusion, "Jake, why are you holding the baby?" Leah asked tentatively.
"He imprinted on it," Edward said, his tone dripping in betrayal. Made sense, Leah thought. Considering Edward's death rested on Jacob's hatred. He wouldn't have room in his heart for that now.
"She you have a daughter," Jacob pointed out, not looking up from the child. Rosalie once again made a grab for the baby, Jacob once again refused to let her. Rosalie stamped her foot, and Jake rolled his eyes at the blonde's antics, "Jake please give the baby to Rosie for a minute," Seth asked looking at his alpha with a hopeful expression. Jake reluctantly handed the baby to the blonde vampire.
Then Carlisle and Esme came into the room covered in blood, and visibly distressed, "We thought we'd put her back together, for Charlie's sake," Esme whispered, clutching Carlisle's hand, like it was the only thing keeping her standing. Seth immediately went to his...mother-in-law, and hugged her. Esme gripped onto him so tight it was almost painful. Then Seth whispered, "She'll be alright, Alice said so."
Esme pulled back, and looked at her daughter. Alice did a quick future check, reassuring herself before she got her mother's Hope's up. Upon seeing Bella sparkling she nodded, and Esme felt her knees shake in relief. Then she brought Seth over to the unoccupied couch, and they sat down. Carlisle came and stood behind his wife and rested his hands on her shoulders. They just stood still and waited. Occasionally the baby would coo and make noise. Then Leah yawned loudly, "Sorry I need sleep, you two don't have to join me," it saddened her to say it, but she knew this was important to her lovers. She wasn't worried, she trusted Alice implicitly she knew Bella would be fine.
"No I need to be near you darlin'," Jasper said. Leah looked at him with mild surprise. He just grinned a little grin, and motioned for her to lead the way. Alice sprung up, and followed after them. Needing to be near her lovers as well.

It took four days for Bella to wake up.
During that time they just sat around and waited. On the first day Rosalie, and Jacob took turns fighting over the baby, Renesme Bella had said before she took her little nap, the only time neither one was holding her was when Esme took her. Seth would be the go between for all three of them. Alice and Edward mostly ignored the baby much to Esme's dismay, and Carlisle talked to Charlie, stalling him. Alice was making arrangements for them to leave soon after Bella woke up. Jacob was livid about that last part.
The second day of Bella's nap there had been a ring of the doorbell. Carlisle got up to answer. It was Emily, and Embry asking for sanctuary Esme naturally brought them into the house immediately, and gave them something to eat. Leah came down the stairs when she smelled Emily. She was there with her scars, and her hands firmly clasped over her flat stomach.
"Emily, what happened?" Leah said walking over to her cousin.
"He was cruel, and didn't seem to care about anything other than bringing you three back into his sphere of control, I couldn't be there any more," she looked determined, and stoic, and Leah had never been more proud of her.
"I couldn't be there anymore either he didn't want me to ever leave the Rez, and I think he's kind of lost it, so here I am if that's cool."
"Of course, what's your name young man?" Esme said, pulling out all the cereal that possibly ever existed.
"Embry ma'am, hey Jake,"
"Bro, this isn't going to go great," Jake was holding Renesme, "Sam is going to go postal, but I'm glad you're here bro these two are too love sick to be helpful."
"Like you're any better ya ass hat," Leah said, leading her cousin to the chair.
"Hey that's alpha ass hat to you. Now we should see if you're still tied to them, or us."
The four wolves go outside, and shift. They didn't hear the thoughts of Sam, 'Embry, can you hear me?'
'Oh thank god,' Embry's wolf completely relaxed, and shook out his fur making happy yips. Then began to run around the yard. The other three chasing after him, simply waiting for Bella to wake up.
Later that day Leah found Emily in the kitchen everyone else was elsewhere. Emily was staring off into nothing, and sipping at water. Leah sat next to her, and waited for her cousin to start talking, "I feel guilty, He'll never love anyone else."
Leah reached over, and took her cousin's hand, and took a deep breath, "Em, I need you to listen to me. You need to do what's best for you. Him not being able to love anyone else, is quite frankly, not your problem. Look at Jake, or Quil, or me and Seth. I was willing to be without Alice, I took off after I imprinted. Granted, my runt of a brother hunted me down, but that's another story. We are willing to be without them; if it means they are happy. If he can't do that then he is a bad wolf, and a worse man. Now I need to ask because it's your choice: do you want the baby."
"Yes," she sounded determined. Leah just grinned at her.
"Alright. You might want to tell Carlisle. I'm sure he'd be thrilled to deal with something normal after the last few months between me and Bella."
"What happened to you?"
"Sam didn't tell you?"
"Tell me what?"
"Stress levels are bad for the baby, so let's just say we had a few scuffles."
Emily eyed her for a moment, but then let it go. Turning to her with a wicked grin, and it was so familiar to Leah, and different because of the scars that Leah's heart clenched for so many reasons. Then her cousin asked, "What are the vamps like in bed?"
Leah threw back her head and cackled.

On the third day of waiting around for Bella Jasper, Alice, and Leah were laying about mostly undressed in the bed. The vampires were letting Leah catch her breath, and cool off a little. Until they could go a third round. Then they heard Rosalie screech, "How dare you imprint on my mother you flea bag."
"Nope," Leah said, pulling the blanket over her head, just as they heard Rosalie screech once again for Jake, and Carlisle asked everyone to calm down. Alice and Leah agreed with Leah, and joined her under the blankets.
Their next house was going to need sound proofing.

Finally Bella woke up, and her first act as a vampire was waking all the sleepers in the house by yelling at Jacob, "You will never be my Son-in-law."
