Bella's P.O.V

I looked into Jacob's eyes, but I couldn't him under the anger and hatred burning. I'm guessing this is what Edward meant by him being a monster, when they lose control they disappear, and anyone who gets in their way is destroyed.

"Jacob, please!" I begged, the contractions were coming quickly now, "y-you don't have to do this! I-I could, we could sort something out! Jake you have to believe me!" I was crying so hard I couldn't see, then I said something I immediately regretted, "when I fell pregnant I was so scared about what Edward would say I wished, that, that it was yours!" I knew this was true but I hadn't told anyone, I hadn't even let myself admit I thought it and now this was another thing that threatened my relationship with Edward. He lunged out me, I took a agonising blow to the head. That's when it all went black...

Edward's P.O.V

I got a call from Alice saying that she had seen Bella running through the woods, alone and scared looking, that's when she said the vision blanked out. I growled viciously down the phone, anger bubbling up inside of me; if she was enclosed inside the boundry she would probably send me away again and get mad, but if that stupid whelp had chased her out... I started my car and raced to the La Push boundry, where I got out and egded round it, until I found her intoxicating scent, she wasn't far and I was in luck, outside the ridiculous boundry.

As I neared I saw Jacob's rusty coloured body snarling, but yet he was hesitant to move. Is this right? Can I really kill Bella to put an end to her little affair with that leech? He thoughts were clear and I was about to pounce before the final straw came and hit me like a lorry, Yes, yes you can. She hurt you, she broke your heart and ran off with him! Do it and make the games stop. The werewolf part of his brain hissed at him, taking over making him all monster. Much like when I feed but this was worse; I had seen Bella's body still and lifeless on the ground, a head injury bleeding badly over her face, it was too much and I attacked. He didn't see it coming and I had the advantage, he growled in surprise before desperately trying to claw me off of him but I was already ahead and twisted his arm. He howled in pain but limped into a lunge which I easily blocked, throwing him against a tree so hard it shook, its roots strained under the force. As he lay motionless I went to check on Bella, she was still but her heart was beating, faintly. I couldn't hear the baby's heart at all, but it had always been very faint, even to my ears.

"Bella I'm going to get you to safety, just hang on," I held her hand and was about to pick her up when, from behind Jacob slammed into me. The surprise of the attack made me bang into Bella, my weight crushing her, but only for a brief second until I composed myself. I growled defensively, taking a protective stance near Bella. I was far enough not to hurt her, but close enough to keep an ear on her heart and breathing pattern. Jake howled and threw himself at me once again, and once again I dodged the reckless attack. Grabbing Jacob by the scruff of his neck and headbutting him, it made me dizzy but his eyes rolled back and he lost consciousness. I threw him down and rushed to Bella, she was fading quickly. I picked her up gently, and flipped my phone open. "Carlisle, Bella is seriously injured. She's not conscious and contractions are pretty close together, I'll be down in a second, be ready." I growled the last bit urgently; I glanced at Bella in the passenger seat. Though unconscious and extremely pregnant she still looked beautiful, she had to survive or I would change her at the first oppotunity I got. I wondered how Bella would feel waking up in a few days time, a ravenous, new-born vampire with a baby only a couple days old? Of course I would have to leave our child behind and take Bella away, but would she leave?

Pulling up at the hospital, Carlisle stood at the enterance with a stretcher and team of staff awaiting the job at hand. I carried her over, and laid her gently on the stretcher before Carlisle examined her quickly with concerned eyes.

"Edward how long has she been unconscious?" His voice worried, as we walked quickly beside Bella.

"When I arrived she was out and it took me what, 5 minutes to deal with Jacob, not a lot longer," I growled his name with all the intense burning hatred of a thousand desert suns. "Then I brought her here, but I don't know how long she was out for before I arrived, no more than 20, 30 minutes considering when Alice had her vision." Carlisle frowned and scribbled something down on his notes.

"Dr, she needs to go under for a C-section right away. This baby is determined," a nurse said anxiously, Carlisle just nodded and told the nurse to take her in and he'd be there shortly. The nurse looked at me, the concern, worry and other emotions I was feeling were obviously very strong in my eyes because she noted that I was likely to be the father. And of course having know I was Carlisle "son" she raised her eyebrows, and turned away. That's why Dr. Cullen was so worried about this patient because it's his son's girl. She's in a pretty bad shape, I feel bad for them... Where was he when this happned? I growled at her, Carlisle questioned me, "she was just wondering why I let this happen to her..." He nodded and then turned to me, his expression serious, it made me feel so young and helpless like being told that my father was ill and the doctors tried to help but they couldn't... I couldn't, he died and I felt guilty. Guilt I still carry to this day. "Carlisle if you need me to help, I'll do anything..."

"Edward she'll be fine just wait call the others, call Charlie. Just let me do my job and I promise Bella will be absolutely fine." He smiled encouragingly and then ran to the surgery room, I slumped into a chair. My mind rushing, how could I have let her go? How could I have been so stupid? If only I kept her home, she might still be in labour but I'd be there to hold her hand, to comfort her, and she wouldn't be injured or hurt and Jacob wouldn't be lying in the woods, about to wake and realise what an ass he'd been (though I can't complain about that.)

I wanted to call Alice, or Emmett or anyone... Maybe not Charlie, I was too wound up to assure that he wouldn't have a heart attack at the news. It had been almost an hour and I had started to pace, the lady at the front desk frowned at me but I ignored her. Suddenly through the door rushed Alice, Jasper, Emmet and Rosalie. Alice looked close to tears, as she ran to me, throwing her arms around me mumbling apologies.

"I'm so sorry Edward! If I had seen than none of this, Oh my God I'm so stupid!" She howled at me and I hugged her tightly, she was in an even worse state than I was.

"Ed, this is awful but Bella? I know she gonna be alright, she always is, no matter what you put her up against; deranged vampire stalker, needles, werewolves anything really," Emmet smiled broadly hoping to make me laugh but I couldn't and his smile faded, replaced by sadness, he didn't like me like this. Emmet fed off happiness, when the people around him were happy, he was happy. Rosalie sat down quietly, she was troubled and decided that saying nothing would say it all. Jasper hugged me, I could see that our emotions were bringing him down so much he didn't even have it in him to lighten them, though he guessed this wasn't the time, nor the place to do so anyway. A few hours later Rosalie, who was the strongest out of the five of us called Charlie, her calm voice explaining everything to him, while his got more and more panicked.

Alice looked up from Jasper's chest for the first time in hours when she came back with a cruel smile.

"Charlie fainted, he should be here in a few hours. He'll be fine though," she tried not to giggle. The lady at the desk was watching us suspiciously; all of us were deeply upset, yet none us were crying. Alice should have a waterfall running down her face, but nothing. I whispered this to the rest of them and Alice ran to the toilets, returning with crocodile tears streaming down her face; Jasper smiled amused for a brief second then it faded when he remembered.


The clock read 5:23, Bella had been under for 3 hours now. What could possibly be taking Carlisle so long? Internal bleeding was an obstacle but it took him mearly minutes rather than seconds to deal with, but I guess at a fast human speed it would take rather a long time... Finally nearing six hours Carlisle came down the silent hall towards us, his face blank, like his mind. I assumed the worst, we all looked up at him with curious eyes, his flickered at Alice. Who still had tear lines on her cheeks.

"Well she's in ICU, nothing went as smoothly as I expecting and I'm sorry for the wait. Her brain scan was very worrying, but she'll recover perfectly, maybe with a bit less hand-eye coordination, but fine." I glared at him with evil eyes, but Emmet got in first.

"Less hand-eye? She had none to start with! What will she like go to reach something and find her hand like 5 inches from the object or something?" Carlisle laughed lightly, this made my anger bubble even more, Jasper sensed this and calmed me. I threw him a thankful glance.

"So when can I visit her?" I put emphasis on "I" because I knew my family would be anxious to see her too and I didn't want her being visited by Alice, Emmett or Rosalie in this state. Carlisle noticed this and thought hard, flicking through his notes he replied to me in his head: You can go in as soon as your ready. Before he announced that everyone can see her in a few days, but she needed time to recover. Oh yes, and Edward congrates! You have a beautiful daughter, better start thinking up names! He smiled at the shock on my face before he turned away and told a nurse to make regular checks on Bella, then went off to another job with a quick pat on my shoulder.
