Chapter Four:

"Seeing Black"

"WHAT?" My head swirled around, and I staggered to the side. Pregnant? No. We…..Edward and I…once….no.

"You're pregnant, Bella." Carlisle informed me.

"How?" I asked. Carlisle gave me a suspicious look. My vision blurred, and I sat down, next to Edward on the bed.

"Bella, you know how these things work. You and Edward…." Oh, great. Carlisle, my husband's father, was giving me the sex talk. I shook my head.

"No, I mean…we only did it once…." I trailed off, my eyes avoiding Carlisle.

"Were you….safe?" He asked, taking on his Doctor tone. I blushed, remembering.

"No. I don't think so." I admitted.

"That's how, Bella." Carlisle whispered to me from across. Edward started to stir. "Oh! He's waking." Carlisle rushed to Edward's side, taking his temperature, then listening to his heartbeat. "Damn." Carlisle swore under his breath, shaking his head.

"He's still not doing well?" I questioned, the worry raking over my voice. I stared down into Edward's pained expression. Edward started to hack. I placed both of my hands onto his face. He relaxed instantly, and fell back into a slumber.

"No, he's worse." Carlisle spoke in an angered tone. "He should be better by now. I can't change him, though. He's too weak."

"He has to get better! It's my fault!" I screamed. Carlisle took my flailing arms into his steel grasp.

"Bella," He whispered to me, harshly. "It's not your fault. He would have gotten sick, even if you weren't here."

"No! He spent all his energy caring for me. With out me, you'd be able to change him! It is my fault!" I yelped, my tears coming uncontrollably now. I collapsed onto the bed next to Edward and snuggled into his chest. I heard Carlisle leave the room when the door clicked open, then shut.

"Edward," I gasped. The influenza wasn't completely out of my system. "Edward, I'm sorry. You're dying because of me…Please don't die Edward. Please for u-" I stopped short, I was about to say us. I wondered how I should tell Edward about my pregnancy. I was pregnant. I found myself to be in denial. I can't have a baby….I faint at the smell of blood, and not even my own. How the hell am I supposed to force a human out of my…I shuddered at the thought.

Edward shifted his body weight towards me. His face started to press into my hair, and I knew he was waking up. His green eyes opened slightly and he smiled his crooked smile at me. His cheeks were still flushed.

"I'm trying, Bella. I really am trying to get better." Edward mumbled.

"Oh, Edward. I didn't mean it was your fault that your sick. I'm just so afraid of losing you and you being in pa-" Edward silenced me with his lips coming down on mine. I sighed, and grimaced. I was lying to him.

"Bella," He urged, noticing my pained expression. "Are you getting better?" I nodded. "I heard what Carlisle was saying about your powers. I'm so happy for you, Bella." Oh my gosh! Did he hear…?

"What did you hear?" I heard Carlisle talking to you about the blood example, then about you stealing my power…." He chuckled, then gagged.

"What else?" I pressed. Edward looked at me sheepishly.

"I fell asleep after that." He admitted. I laughed, then smiled. I shoved my face into his chest and closed my eyes. I could feel Edwards hands wrapping around my back and pulling me even closer.

"I love you." I whispered, not knowing if Edward could hear me.

"I love you even more." Edward breathed, pressing his lips to my cheek.

"I'm not even going to try and argue with you on that." I mumbled. The bed shook with his quiet laughter.

"Suits me fine."

"And on that note, I fell asleep.

"Bella!" I jumped with a start, a pair of cold hands shaking me off the bed. I gasped as my body tumbled to the freezing, glossy floor. It hurt for a moment, but the bed was inches from the ground. "Oh, sorry." The voice spoke in a hushed, but hurried tone.

"What?" I hissed. Whoever woke me up was going to be in trouble. I had been totally at ease and relaxed in Edwards's warm embrace. I looked up and saw Carlisle glancing at Edward.

"We need to talk." Carlisle voice slithered out with urgency. I rubbed my butt, and then hopped of the floor. Carlisle led me over to the only chair in the room, and I plopped down.

"About what?" My voice came out course, and rough. It was like I had been asleep for days. "How long have we been sleeping?" I questioned, gesturing toward Edward, who was still sleeping on the bed. He had shifted a little since I had dropped. His arms were now enclosing a white pillow, as if it were me. The picture mad me snicker a little. If only I had with me a camera….

"You two have been sleeping for 11 hours…." Carlisle smiled at me. I felt the blush creeping up, covering my face. I grinned sheepishly.

"Is he better?" I asked with hope. If Edward had been sleeping for 11 hours, he was probably better.

"Ah…no. He was wheezing and coughing throughout the night. You however…seem to be all better." Carlisle told me, looking at Edward's charts. He shook his head. "I can't seem to figure out why he's not getting better. He's getting even sicker." 'Why?' I was tempted to ask, but I held back. Carlisle had just told me he didn't know.

"Oh…" I tried to stay sane. I rubbed at the warm water brimming at my eyelids and looked over to Edward. His body was shaking slightly, and sweat was covering his yellow forehead. His bronze-colored hair was distraught, and his eyes were squeezing shut. You could tell he was holding back screams of pain.

"Bella, we need to talk about the baby." Carlisle told me quietly, his voice quiet. I could tell he was wary about talking about this in here because he wasn't sure if I had told Edward. I pulled my knees up to my chest and nodded, looking directly at him. I had to be brave about this subject. Everyone was counting on me. Including….I held my knees closer now, protectively against my stomach.

"I haven't told him." I whispered. Carlisle nodded, and then walked gracefully over to the door. I stood up, and followed him towards the door. We stepped outside, and then Carlisle made sure the door was securely shut.

"Now, Bella. If you want to keep this baby, then I can't change you. You'd be pregnant forever, and the baby would never be born."

"Why?" I somewhat knew the answer, but wasn't entirely sure.

"Well, if a someone is bitten, and turns into a vampire, that person is frozen in whatever state they were in. For example; if I bite you now…you're body would be frozen. And you'd be pregnant forever."

I nodded quietly, unsure of my decision. "Will Edward get better…I mean…do you think?"

"I don't know Bella. I've never been this unsure of a diagnosis. He's a very healthy man, and his body should be fighting this influenza off. He's managed to stay alive this long with the sickness. Usually, if someone stays alive this long, they have a tendency to get better. My only guess is that he's fighting this sickness for a cause. For…you."

I squeezed my eyes shut and held myself to the wall. I couldn't bear to lose Edward. I let the tears flow freely. I wanted Edward to stay alive, so much. And he could, if Carlisle bit me. But then, I would be killing my and Edward's child. And I already felt somewhat attached to the baby. This was the most emotional decision I would ever have to make.

To lose my husband, or my child?

"How much longer….does Edward have to live?" If I got a decent time, maybe Edward would get better.

"A day or two…if he dies." Carlisle answered somberly. I gasped and started to sob. Carlisle took one of my hands in his cold ones and smiled at me. "Edward…would never let you save himself. He'd want you to save the child." I sighed and laughed a little.

That was true. I'd never go to Edward for an opinion on this matter. He'd convince me somehow to let him die, and save the child. And I would give in to his smoldering green eyes. And I wasn't ready to do that just yet. I'd never be ready.

(The All-American Rejects song "It Ends Tonight" would be good if you started to play it here)

"You're right. Edward would…" I was cut off by a loud beeping noise. I swirled around and looked into Carlisle's eyes.

"That's Edward!" He shouted. I pushed my way to the door and shook it open. Carlisle was right behind me as I ran to Edward's side. His heart monitor was speeding up and I wasn't sure what was happening.

"What's going on?" I yelped. Carlisle was administering something into Edward's IV and was looking a little to worried.

"Edward! His heart is going to fast! He's dying!" Carlisle yelled, his eyes scanning Edward. I started to cry even harder and pushed my loose hair over my shoulder and leaned down.

"Edward!" I cried. Edward was uncontrollably sweating and shaking. I felt the hole that had been filled in my heart, start to open up again. "Edward, no!" I shook in fear, and turned to Carlisle. "Bite me, Carlisle, change me! Now!"

"I'm sorry, Bella…It's too late. Even if I did bite you, he'd still die. He's so close….so close…." Carlisle whispered, stepping back from Edward's draining body. If he could cry, tears would be flooding the floor with both our tears.

"Edward! Answer me!" I cried, pressing my hands to his hot face. Edward turned to face me, his eyes swollen. "Edward? I love you! Please…don't…"

"I'm sorry Bella. I'm sorry. I tried to fight it….I'm so sorry…" He mumbled, the night taking over him.

"Edward, please! NO! You can't die! I'm…I'm…for us! Please!" I shouted, my lips pressing against his cheek.

"Us?" He mumbled.

"I'm…I'm pregnant Edward! Please…for our baby! Don't die!" I whispered to his ear.

Edward's eyes widened and the heart monitor sped up faster. "Tell the baby I love you two. I'll never stop…." Edward spoke quietly. "Sing it our lullaby….so you two can always remember me…."

"NO! Edward! I can't lose you!" I cried, tears blurring my vision.

"I love you Bella."

"I love you Edward. Please..no…" I shook my head. Carlisle was sitting in the chair, his head in his hands.

Then, the heart monitor told us that Edward had died, with one final Beep!

I then collapsed into Edwards cold, unmoving arms, the black closing in over me.

NO!!!!! Review and I will post the next chapter! Sooner!
