I DO NOT OWN THE TWILIGHT SAGA.

Alex's P.O.V.

After my birthday, the days go by pretty quickly, and everything seems to be going right for me. I made the honor roll and am eighth in my class. I won the annual science fair with my project on powering an entire house for one month using homemade solar panels. And mine and Brady's relationship seems to be going great. We still get in to a few fight every so often, but what couple doesn't? And I help Vivian prepare for the baby. I help her with the nursery, and hold a baby shower for her. I'm glad that I get to help her, because I'd want someone to do the same for me if I were ever in that situation.

On April third, I'm sitting on the living room couch, trying to ignore the period cramps, when I get a call from an unknown number.

"Hello," I say into the speaker.

"Alexandra? This is Mrs. Locke. I just called to let you know that Vivian has gone into labor and has requested your presence here at the hospital," Mrs. Locke says. God, she sounds like a diplomat or something. So formal with no individuality at all.

"Okay, I'll be right there." I hang up the phone, turn off Spongebob Squarepants, grab my purse and car keys, and jet off to the hospital.

When I get to the emergency room, I quickly park and run inside. I haven't been to the emergency room since the accident, and it's kind of weird. When I get inside I can see people running around, and people in the waiting room. I go up to the front desk that is manned by a woman with red hair.

"I'm here to see Vivian Locke," I say to her. She looks at me through her glasses.

"And who are you?" she asks. I sigh, I don't have the time for this.

"I'm a friend," I say. The nurse types something into a computer.

"Vivian is in room one-oh-four, on the second floor," she tells me. I nod gratefully, and take a visitors' pass. When I get to Vivian's room, I open the door to see her under the blanket.

"Hey," I say when I get to her side. She looks at me and smiles a little bit. "I got here as soon as I heard."

"Thanks, but it might take a while. I'm only two centimeters dilated. But it still hurts like hell," she says.

"I can't even imagine. Don't worry, I'll be right here until it's time to push. I have reason to believe that your mom will be by your side for that," I reassure her. She nods.

A few hours later, Vivian has managed to fall asleep for a little while, and so I go to the vending machines to get a snack. I get a Snickers, and a Twix and a bottle of water, and sit down on a chair in the waiting room. And as I do, something snaps inside of me; and memories flood through me. And I remember everything. Why I was driving the day of my accident, how I was mad at Jared and Justin because they were hanging out with their cult. I remember when I broke Vivian's arm. I remember Cam's first day at our school. I remember breaking Kyle's arm, and Brandon's nose. I remember the day Jared first came home after disappearing for three days. I remember everything. It feels like I'm whole again. Like I finally found the missing piece to the puzzle. I look around me. I put my snack on the chair next to me and call Brady.

"Hello?" he says when he answers.

"Brady? It's Alex," I say.

"Alex, I've been looking everywhere for you. Where are you?"

"I'm at the hospital. Vivian went into labor. But that's not what I'm calling about. I'm calling to tell you that I remember." The other end is silent for a second.

"What do you mean?" he asks.

"I remember everything. I've got my memory back." And then I tell him everything, and some of the things I remember. "Isn't that amazing? I finally have my memory back."

"That's great, Alex," he says, but there is something off with his voice.

"What's the matter?" I ask.

"Nothing, it's just... I'm wondering if you'll go back to the way you used to be," he says. I freeze. What is that supposed to mean?

"What's wrong with the way I used to be? Do you just like me because I'm not as independent as I used to be? Because I don't talk back as much as I used to?" I ask.

"No! Of course not! That's not what I said-" he starts to say, but I cut him off.

"Well that's what it sounded like," I say angrily.

"That came out wrong-." I disconnect. I can't believe he just said that. Though later I'll probably not be mad at him due to me being sure that I picked a fight out of nothing. I go back to Vivian's room after eating my snack and hang out with her until it is time to have the baby.

~Later That Day~

Elora Noelle Locke came into the world on May 13, 2010. She weighs 7 pounds, 13 ounces, and is 21 inches long. She also has a full head of black hair. And as soon as I held her I got out of there due to my being absolutely exhausted. I find that I hate hospitals. I walk out to my car, exhausted and hope that when I get home, that I can get into bed and sleep for a million years. But all hopes for that are ruined when I get to my car and see Brady. I stop about two feet from the car and cross my arms.

"Why are you here?" I ask. Brady comes up in front of me and tries to wrap his arms around me, but I pull back. I look up at him with a pissed off look on my face.

"Alex, I'm sorry I said what I did. I didn't mean it like that," He says.

"What did you mean, then?" I ask.

"I meant, are you going to be like you used to be, confident, strong minded and funny. Not that you aren't like that now, you are. But, you are more shy and quiet. But I love that about you. I didn't mean it to come out the way it sounded, but I was tired and irritated," he says. I think about that for a second. I want to stay mad, but I can't stay mad at him. I love him too much. And I guess I did overreact. I take Brady by the front of his shirt and pull him down for a kiss.

"I guess I did overact just a little bit," I say when I pull back. He laughs slightly.

"It's okay, I love you anyway" he says. I laugh.

"Can you drive me home? I'm exhausted" I say.

"Sure." He gets into the driver's side and I get into the passenger side, and he drives me home. When we arrive, I give Brady another long kiss, and go into the house. I fill my parents and Leona in about Vivian and go upstairs. I take a long, hot shower and put on some sweats. I then climb into bed, and snuggle into Dexter, falling asleep instantly.
