Who wants to find out what being uber tired sitting on my couch after working all day and writing a new chapter can do to a person? Well I found a song I like and have woven the lyrics in this chapter. Hint; it's all in while Jacob and Edward are talking. The challenge is on!

Bella prov.

My unconscious dark haven was not to last as I was awoken by a burning pain. I tried to open my eyes but my body was locked into place held by an invisible force. I tried to move a muscle started at my toes and working up to my head but nothing would move. Panic rose up in me as I tried to recall the events coming up to this.

"Bella get the hell out of here NOW!"

Stay alive!!

"I've… immobilised him for the time being but it won't hold him long; we gotta get outta here."

"Footsteps…"

Jasper hovered over me his eyes a darker more distant shade of blood red than before…

My mind supplied the shudder of fear my body should have produced. Okay so last thing I remembered Jasper had grabbed me and then I had blacked out; what had happened? My thoughts were interrupted as another bout of pain erupted from both of my wrists. Struggling through the searing pain I tried to recollect my thoughts. It was as if I had been drugged; every time I began to pick up my thoughts again they would fall out of my grasp, like trying to hold water with your hands. I felt a scream of agony well up inside of me with nowhere to escape as my ankles were pierced with the same pain. I tried to relax telling myself this was the climax of the pain I would feel; were else could I be hurt? I tried to process the pain as if to find a way to numb the burning but the more I focused the more I could feel it slowly seeping through my veins burning everything it touched.

"Bella, I'm so sorry, it was our only choice…" Edward's velvet voice whispered softly in my ear.

"Edward, help me save me!" I screamed out in my mind but my voice refused to cooperate. I was forced to lay there in my frozen prison waiting for the pain to stop… just when I think things can't possibly get worse. I really had to stop saying that.


Edward prov.

I sat there frozen staring at her frozen figure in fear. Regret filled me as soon as I had moved away from her skin to finally see what I had done to her.

"So you've finally shared the cure to growing older then?" Jacob spat, as soon as he had woken up he had raced next to Bella begging me to stop. Why did werewolves have to heal so fast? I could have done with out his assault against my actions. Then again why hadn't I listen to him!?

"You're so kind and sympathetic aren't you?" I muttered looking for any changes in Bella's unstable condition.

"Sorry my conscience called in sick again," He shot back a faint smile playing on his face as I rolled my eyes. "And I've got arrogance down to a science."

"I noticed, could you please take a few steps back at least; you're stinking up the place and I'm trying to concentrate."

"I'm not leaving her again especially not when this is happening what else am I meant to do?"

"Douse yourself in some cheap perfume. It's so fitting but then again even that won't cover you up."

"Hilarious leech; you're quite the comedian when you want to be." He snarled.

"What the hell is happening to her? You do you even know what your doing. The baby could die; she could die, ANYTHING could happen. How could you risk it all!?"

Each word hit me like a punch as I struggled against my guilt. How had I let this happen?

"She was dying it was the only thing we could do." Carlisle calm voice answered the question that had been left lingering. Jacob looked over to Carlisle he sighed angrily as he gave up and turned back to Bella.

"Some secrets weren't meant to be told." He muttered but I didn't need to be told what he meant. For once I had to agree with him; maybe this was one secret I should never have told Bella. Maybe if she never found out she would have never ended up in this situation.

"Okay blood sucker snap out of it. What's happening?" Jacobs's impatient voice echoed through my mind as I looked up.

"I…I don't know what's happening. Nothing like this has happened before… ever." I breathed gazing at Bella confused. She laid there stone still her face dangerously pale but calm and tranquil looking.

From those words everything seemed to happen in a blink of an eye. Her perfectly still figure convulsed in a wave of pain as she sat up taking a sharp breath.

"Edward…" She gasped breathing heavily her eyes wide with pain and confusion. Slowly her eyes trailed to her stomach; her shirt was completely stained in bright oozing blood.

"Help me" she managed to wheeze as she collapsed back on the ground. A loud snarl was followed her words as I heard Jasper thrash around in the background. Emmett had taken care of him but I was still on edge after the last attack.

"It's okay I've got him!" Emmett's voice boomed through the forest as if he had just read my mind. The small amount of relief that gave me instantly disintegrated as I focused entirely on Bella again. How had she gone from being perfectly still and seemingly safe to bleeding and potentially life threatening? I ripped her shirt off as we all bent over to assess the damage. Her stomach looked as if it was swelling larger by the second as we watched. A thin line across the side was the source of the blood where the skin had been literally ripped apart.

"What the fu-" Jacob began as Carlisle cut him off.

"It's the venom; I think its affecting the baby somehow." Carlisle said looking as confused as I felt.

"Rapid growth?" I suggested placing my hands on her stomach gingerly. "Wait…" My hands traced shapes as Carlisle watched on. I grabbed his hands in a flurry placing them at separate positions looking at him in confusion.

"We always knew this wasn't going to be a normal pregnancy." I muttered sighing when a distinctive cracking sound could be heard from Bella's limp body.

"We have to get it out now her body can't handle the sudden growth." Carlisle said as calmly as possible but I could see his mind running through possible ideas.

"Caesarean." I muttered as Jacob looked from Carlisle to me and back again.

"Okay can someone please tell what the hell is going on!" He demanded angrily.

"It appears the venom we injected into Bella has somehow passed through her system and gone straight to the womb. This has done something to the fetus which is growing at an alarming pace and we need to get it out now if the baby or Bella have a chance of survival." Carlisle rushed.

My hands ran over her stomach to find the perfect spot to cut as another loud crunch alerted us to the second broken rib.

"We have to hurry Carlisle." He produced a small bag of surgical looking items and grabbed a scalpel looking instrument.

"I had a feeling that I might need this at any moment knowing Bella's luck." He chuckled quietly to himself until he focused in his face going serious. As he expertly ran the blade across the chosen spot Jacob finally spoke.

"Okay aren't you forgetting something like, oh I don know anaesthetic!" I glanced up at him surprised. He actually had smart ideas every now and again.

"We don't have time and from what I can tell Bella's as knocked out as anaesthetic would do anyway the venoms taken care of that." Carlisle said as I relaxed again hopefully she wouldn't be in any more pain than necessary.

A thin red line started seeping from her stomach as I nodded it Carlisle. We had to move fast and efficiently for this to work. I still didn't understand what was going on.

What had happened to the baby… or babies it seemed? Why wasn't Bella turning into a vampire right now? And most importantly how the hell were we going to perform a caesarean in the middle of a forest with limited equipment with babies still growing to fast thank to an unexpected dose of venom to their DNA all the while the mother is dying from blood loss with a blood hungry vampire near by. Right now I didn't think even a group of vampires and a werewolf could pull it off.


Bella Prov.

I could feel the fire moving freely through my body as I lay still. My entire being began to seer as if I was lying on an open fire. It seemed to move quickly and efficiently as if it was targeting a specific part of me. As the moments passed I slowly realised its destination. Everywhere it had begun was flowing from each direct to my core, my stomach, my baby. I could feel as the separate points collided in the center creating fireworks of feelings. It all seemed to explode together at once and as it did my body was suddenly realised from its prison. I unconsciously convulsed up my eyes snapping open. Everything was a bright daze but I could make out a blurry face in front of me; Edward.

"Edward," I pleaded, "Help me!" By this point the fire had all but dissipated from my body and now all I could feel was my stomach burning and churning. Something was happening; I didn't know what but I knew it was bad. See what I meant when I said I shouldn't say things couldn't get worse?

I collapsed back on the ground as I felt a snap inside me; a rib bone. I gladly accepted the darkness this time as I escaped my pain and problems.


Edward Prov.

The minutes flew by like seconds as we worked vigorously. With each movement my throat burned more as I was slowly painted in Bella's blood. For every moment we weren't getting this baby out it was somehow changing and killing Bella. From the sounds so far ribs and been broken and it was getting to the point where her organs weren't going to be able to support the sudden weight… but there was still hope. Alice and Rose had hurried over to help while Emmett continued to contain Jasper.

"Edward!" Carlisles voice rang out in the forest in sudden happiness as we both looked down. Cradling in his hand was a tiny baby, it held silent for a moment as we all waited in anticipation. A sudden piercing cry rang out of its tiny body as smiles broke out all around. It was Alice who broke the amazed silence.

"Okay I don't know as much as you about medicine and babies but I don't think were quite finished yet…"

I gasped as I looked down.

"There's… hang on it cant be…"

"You're kidding me right"

"We knew to expect anything"

"But we did a…"

"So maybe it wasn't rapid growth after all eh?"

"Crap."

AN. Okay now we really are almost over. Im sorry I was going to make this like the second last chapter but as usual I couldnt help but leave you with a really really annoying cliffy. Okay so anyone guessed it yet? Now surely you must have!! Oh and its not quite what you expect either evil laugh The next chapter will come soon I promise! Have fun guessing oh and did anyone get the song?
