The soft bleeping of the heart monitor, the dim light that slipped in through the curtains; none of it was familiar, but yet I felt safe, plus there was no pain, just a drowzy comfort. My eyes fluttered open, harshly dilating at the light, once they had focused my eyes laid on a very more painful sight, Edward. His head in his hands, bronze hair even more toussled than usual, he glanced up as I guessed he had a million times while I lay here unconscious. Big liquid topaz eyes met my dark ones, the over-whelming grief in them made tears well dangerously quickly.

"Bella?" His voice was shaky and scared like he was dreaming this and in reality, it wasn't me just a mere Marionette puppet of my body. He walked over to my bed slowly, his hand out-stretched and carefully stroking my cheek; his hand was unnaturally cold, but this had been one of the rare occasions that I noticed such, I shivered involentarily.

"Oh Edward!" I threw my arms around him, tears spilling over. "I'm so sorry this was all my fault I shouldn't have gone, it's was stupid. I just thought, oh, I don't know what I was thinking!" Edward smiled, in my favourite crooked way.

"Bella don't blame yourself, you trusted Jacob and he let you down, that's it. It's not either of our faults," I sighed and hugged him tighter. How could I of all people be blessed with someone so perfect? It was this second I realised something was missing, a very large something that I had been getting used to for nine months. My stomach wasn't flat but it didn't look like a watermelon was stuffed into it. I looked into Edward's eyes and he understood, he stood up and walked out; we didn't need to exchange any words, it was like he could read my mind for once. A few minutes later Edward entered a bundle in his arms, my throat tightened and a lump developed painfully in it, but then Carlisle walked in and upon seeing me upright he smiled broadly.

"Bella you're awake! This is great news, I can finally convice Charlie your alive," he laughed lightly hoping that we would catch onto the jokey side to this, but I couldn't. There were so much going on, I had to talk to Charlie and Edward and my baby! I turned to Edward who immeadiately hurried to my side, the white bundle in his arms moving around slightly.

"Say hello to your daughter Isabella," I gasped when I saw her little pink face, tears brimmed again then fell over. I held the bundle tight to my chest, before moving the blanket so I could see her face better; it was perfect, just like her father's. She had a tiny nose and big framed eyes that were clamped shut, little rosey lips and a tuff off bronzy hair on her head, which I kissed softly. Unable to believe I had my baby in my arms, the love I felt for this tiny child almost scared me; I was tied to her now, and forever.

"Bella, what should we call her?" Edward's velvet voice struck through my moment of total bliss, with a question that took me by surprise. I frowned, I had given it some thought but now she was here, a real person.

"Well I liked your Grandmother's name, Annalaya," he tilted his head in thought and looked at tiny girl in my arms, he smiled broadly and kissed me happily.

"It's perfect, just right for our little angel," I sighed and lent against Edward's hard body, everything seemed right again now but I knew it wasn't, somehow I had just brought in a vampire-Human hybrid to our already strange world. I desperately needed to talk with my father, who would be making himself ill at this rate, yet for some reason I dreaded this, though I'm not sure why exactly, maybe beacuse I faintly remember Edward saying something about moving in with him. And I was positive Edward hadn't forgotten about that...

Jacob's POV

My head was still pounding but less so now. My memory of the incident was blurry but I know something bad happened to Bella, and of course that leech would blame me. But was it my fault? If I couldn't remember, then how can I be sure that I didn't just snap and killed her with one blow? Oh God, Bella can't be dead! That bloodsucker would have saved her, I know it, but how? There was only one obvious choice I could see for him and that meant Bella was now my mortal enemy, how strange. I sat up a bit too quickly and my head rushed with blood, I had to collaspe to recover, then the door swung open and in a white coat stood Edward's 'father', Carlisle. He looked pleased I was up.

"Hello Jacob. Nice rest?" I growled angrily at him, he frowned though it was an amused frown. This just made me madder, how could he be amused? I glared at the wall so not to make eye contact. I heard papers rustling, and Carlisle tutting his tongue. "OK, you will be better in a few days. You will just be experiencing quite bad head-rushes, as just seen." He smiled at my stupid attemp to sit up, I was so glad I could go, wait, home? I was in hospital? Carlisle must have noticed my panic because he walked over, and put what he thought was a comforting hand on my shoulder. "Don't worry. I'm the only one apart from Billy who's been in here; you're safe at the moment just don't go asking the nurse to show you how to use their thermometers!" I scowled out him and his crappy jokes, though out of the corner of my eye I spied a young nurse who smiled shyly at me.

"How's Bella?" My voice was high and nervous which made me blush.

"Fine, no thanks to you. Honestly Jake, what were you going to do, kill her? I highly doubt that you'd do it directly but if Edward hadn't got there in time, two lives would have been lost." I looked at the floor guiltily.

"Boy or girl?" I whispered.

" A girl, Annalaya I believe they've chosen," he smiled like a proud father would, I guess he was. In a sense Edward, the others, and now Bella and Anna were all his children. He had every right to be very proud. I nodded at him and he turned on his heel and left. I was alone to ponder on my thoughts, a dangerous idea now that I had discovered last night was a "No thanks to me" kind of thing. My head hung and lay back trying to escape back into sleeps calming grip.

OK I know it took like forever and it's very short but the next chapter will be longer, it's all coming to an end though :(
