Hey. I'm so glad you decided to read this. It's my first fanfic so I hope it's all okay.
I'm a huge fan of the Twilight saga.(: ha.
Anyways, I hope you enjoy reading this, just as much as I enjoyed writing it.
Also--The title, It's Forever Eclipse. This stands for how Edward refuses to make Bella a vampire, so she is left in the dark--like a Solar Eclipse. I know the title doesn't sound too original, but it works.
Anyways, comment/review, please.(:

I awoke with a start, I was unsure what day it is, or what really happened. All I remember is going into birth. And then my mind flipped to the baby. Where was he? Or she? Right now I didn't care the sex of our child, I just wanted to see it.
"My baby..." I wasn't sure if I was saying it out loud or not, but I thought I was.
I thought my eyes were open, but all I saw was darkness. So I opened my eyes, and I saw a blur of things. My head felt like it was spinning, around and around. I looked around the spinning room for my baby, Edward, or even Rosalie, but I saw none of them. And that's when I heard them.
"...She's searching for her."
Her? Who's her? Could it be my baby? Of course not, I mean, I was almost positive I would give birth to a baby boy.
"We can't let Bella have her yet, we don't know if she's stable."
Maybe...maybe my baby was a girl....But....Why would they keep my baby from me?
"Why?" I kept repeating out loud. I couldn't stop saying it, and I sounded like I was getting louder.
"Bella, honey, shh. You'll wake her up."
I knew his voice anywhere, but who was I going to wake up? Finally, my head stopped spinning, and I was laying on a metal table. Standing in the doorway was Alice, Carlisle, and Edward. It suddenly became clear-Who wanted me to have my baby, and who wasn't sure I could handle it.
"Edward, where is he?"
"Bella, who are you talking about? Jasper, Emmett, and Jacob are downstairs. Carlisle is right here."
I started shaking my head. The only thought that ran through my head, I didn't want. Did my baby die?
"Bella, honey, are you feeling okay?"
I did what I could, I nodded my head and tears started to roll down the cheeks.
Between my blurred vision, and people rushing to my side, I became dizzy again. I held my head in between my hands.
"S-s-stop moving." I muttered, and it seemed like everybody froze. Well, everybody but one person. Edward kneeled down beside me.
"Bella, you need to tell me whats wrong."
"He died didn't he?"
"Who are you talking about?"
I realized they had no idea who I was talking about. It all made sense to me, so I saw no reason to say it out loud.
"My baby, Edward. Our baby died, didn't he?"
It got quiet. I didn't like the quiet. I felt like screaming. The silence told me that our baby died, and they didn't know how to tell me. I could feel tears coming again.
"Bella." That was all he said. He laughed at the end though. He grabbed my hand and squeezed it. It was more of a reassuring squeeze, then of a confirming squeeze.
"What?" It came out sharper then I had intended.
Edward had started laughing again. It was so irritating. I just wish he would tell me.
"Would you stop laughing and just tell me?" I tried to make it sound calmer, I wasn't sure it worked.
"Honey, our baby is alive."
Those five simple words made me tear up again. Only this time, for joy. I was going to be a mother! But wait, why did Edward seem so confused when I asked him where our baby was?
"But....you seemed confused when I asked you?" It sounded more like a question. I was beginning to get more confused.
"That is correct."
"Why?" It was all I could ask. Yet, it was enough. I decided to close my eyes. My head was beginning to hurt from all of this confusion.
"You said he."
His short responses were getting annoying. And my head already hurt. I didn't feel like figuring out the second meaning in all of his words. Then it suddenly hit me.
"Girl.....We had a baby girl...." It was more intended for myself. I was confused, so I was sure I thought this to myself.
"Yes."
It was his answer. It was all I needed to hear. I was sure I was crying by now.
Suddenly Rosalie came into view. "Edward I-Oh, Bella! I wasn't aware you were awake."
I nodded, and then I saw it. In Rosalie's arms was a little girl. She was the prettiest thing ever. She looked very human. She also reminded me of two people. Renee and Edward. I realized that girl was mine. The girl Rosalie was holding was mine and Edward's child.
"Rose...."
"Yes?"
"Is that...." The words wouldn't come out of my mouth. It seemed she understood what I was trying to say since she answered anyways.
"Yes."
Before I knew it, she jumped out of Rosalie's arms and ran over to me. It all happened so fast. I thought I was going to hold her, but Alice was in front of me, holding my baby.
"Alice?" It was a question. I knew she knew what I meant.
Alice looked at Carlisle, like what she said was going to hurt my feelings. Carlisle only nodded.
"Bella, we're not sure she is...safe. We don't want her to hurt you, so we all agreed to keep her away from you....Just until your strong enough to care for her, and we've taught her what not to do."
"I.....Can't......hold her?" The words came out. That was all that mattered. But the words sounded funny to me placed in that order.
"It's best you should leave." Carlisle nodded at Edward's words and everyone left the room, except for Edward.
"Bella, it's for the best."
I knew that. I knew what they said was true. She was part Vampire....I just didn't know which part. Even if everyone else did. But it still hurt. I wasn't aloud to hold my child. I barely got to see her. I mean, she already looked two! Wait...Two? How long was I out? Panic raced through me as my heart rate accelerated. Edward must have noticed.
"What is it?"
"H-h-how long was I asleep?"
"A week and three days?"
"But...." I replayed the scene in my head. I could have sworn she was two.
"What?"
"She...looks...two?" My words came out separated, like each was it's own sentence.
Edward grabbed my hand and I looked up at him.
"Bella, we think because she's a vampire hybrid, she will still grow, but more rapidly then a normal human baby."
Normal. That word hung in my head. Normal was anything other than this. Normal was anything other than my baby. But, what was normal anyways?
