Thank you for all the encouraging reviews I got from the first chapter. The reviews are the only reason why I decided to add a second chapter. So if you want me to continue please review. (Still the other story is being put first)

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~CHAPTER THREE~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

My jaw tightened for a few moments. When opening my mouth to speak, the words wouldn't come out of my quivering lips, the coldness feeling as if it would burn right through my skin where he still gripped my arm.

My heart kept hitting hard against my chest.

Quickly my mind flipped through everything that happened when getting here, wondering why I didn't see the signs of him being… one of them. My knees felt like they would give out on me any second. I wanted to yank my arm away, run and scream.

Tears formed in my eyes for I wasn't sure out of sadness, fear, or anger. I guess it was all of those emotions combined and more that my mind couldn't have concurred at that particular moment. I held them back best I could and succeeded. I wanted away, far away. I also wanted to act strong, to show I wasn't as weak as I was appearing to be at that moment in the office.

"Pl – please." I spoke, much lower than a whisper that I wasn't sure if he heard me. I begged mentally that he didn't hear. I hadn't intended on sounding so weak. "J-just… let me go."

"Madelyn," He spoke slowly. "I want to help you. Can you please come with me?"

I shook my head in response, pulling my arm away a couple times. As I expected, he didn't let go. His eyes seemed to hold some type of concern towards me that I did not understand. Concern? Why would one of them hold any kind of concern?

If it was even possible my heart felt like it was hitting even harder against my chest. I felt both my arms go limp, thanking my lucky stars that it hadn't been my legs that gave out.

As soon as he realized my limp arms he slowly led me over to the seat I was sitting at before, the one in front of the desk. I thought it was no use to fight back. I knew it wasn't a battle I could win. They were just so much stronger. Also at that point, I just would do anything than to feel that uncomfortable icy touch, the touch that brought back terrifying memories, memories I forced myself to push away.

He kneeled down to his knees. Then unleashed his hand from around my arm, but kept it lying there, in what looked like to be a friendly gesture if I didn't know any better.

"Please. Don't... touch me?" I didn't mean for it to sound like a question, though he immediately moved his hand away. "I... thanks."

My heart was still continuing its course, slowly seeming to calm down as time went by.

"I apologize. The last thing I want to do is frighten you." He said after a minute of silence. I looked at my hands while he continued, "I just couldn't let you leave in your condition, knowing what's wrong, knowing I could help, that you need only my help."

I closed my eyes, taking in a slow and deep breath before releasing it.

"What do you want with me?" Is what flowed right out my lips, not thinking it through. "J-just you might as well tell me – what are you going to do with me?"

I opened my eyes, glancing at him for a second the moment I took in another deep breath. His expression seemed to hold concern. It was just a very quick glance before snapping my eyes shut.

"I just want to help you."

Help me? Yeah. Okay.

"Don't lie." I demanded in a harsh tone. I was surprised I was able to keep myself under control; maybe sitting down helped me a lot. "Di – did he send you?"

"Who?"

I sighed, opening my eyes and then they locked with his. I didn't answer his question, instead just sitting there in silence, our eyes staying locked for what felt like a long time. I soon broke that contact, moving my eyes to his desk.

I noticed a picture in a frame sat on his desk. I couldn't see it head on but I got a good enough view from where I was sitting to tell that it was a beautiful woman in the photo. I didn't need to have the picture right in my face to see that, I could see that fine from where I sat. She was wearing a purple dress, contrasting against her pale skin, her beautiful caramel colored hair loosely handing on each side of her face. I strangely felt like getting closer to it in some way to get a better look.

He followed my stare, a soft smile coming to his lips, bringing his eyes back to me.

"That's my wife, Esme." His eyes matched the smile on his face to the mention of the beautiful woman's name, "We've been married awhile now."

"Wife?" I spoke with disbelief filling in my tone. "You have a wife?"

He nodded, that smile never leaving his lips.

"Oh." I said. "I mean – I didn't think your kind were…"

I decided not to finish that sentence, at first afraid if I said the wrong thing. I watched his expression carefully, his smile faded. No anger traced in his face, only curiosity.

"So you are aware of what I am?" He asked, that curiosity never leaving his face. "It's alright for you to know."

"Not exactly." I spoke honestly. "Other than you being pale – your skin ice cold and super strength…"

It was weirdin' me out how comfortable I soon felt. Minutes ago I wanted to rush out of here, now here I am talking to this strangely welcoming I don't even know what creature, witnessing so much evidence in the past that these creatures could kill me so easily...

"May you please come with me?" He asked, his eyes watching me. He got up to his feet, smiling. "I'm not going to force you... I am giving you a choice. I at least want you to listen to what the consequences are if you choose to leave without my help..."

I nodded.

"You're pregnant with a fetus that is half of my kind and half of yours," My chest tightened. I didn't cut him off, letting him continue, "Therefore, has a lot of strength. It will kick like it should only it will be much more painful as time goes on. When it's time for the fetus to be born, it won't be a normal birth process..."

"Not... a normal birth process? W-what do you mean?"

"The fetus will eat through your flesh when it's time for the birth." His concern for me showed even more in his expression. "I've seen someone go through the same thing once before. I will be glad to help you. Again, it's your choice."

I suddenly felt very tired, but I also wanted to know more. I tried holding back a yawn which I didn't succeed very well.

"You need rest, Madelyn. We can talk more about this when you awake. Do you want to come with me to my home?"

I blinked once, tiredly. "You have a home?"

He chuckled. "Yes I have a home."

Wow, wife and home?

He spoke again, "We can talk about this as soon as you rest up and if it turns out you want to go through it alone, then I will let you go in peace. For now, you can come with me. It's a pretty long drive so you will more than likely sleep most the way."

I took a moment to think about going with him. Oddly, I trusted him. I did think about what if he was connected with the one I was running away from? Something told me he wasn't. So being around someone else just as strong... I might be better off.

"Okay." I breathed."I'll come with you."

"Wonderful." I could tell he was happy with my choice. "I'm assuming you drove here," I nodded. "We will leave your vehicle here and if you decide to stay for my help, I will get it brought over to the house."

I smiled to his kindness and I received a smile in return from him.

Before we headed out he called someone from his office phone to let them know he was clocking out, that it was an emergency. I was touched that he was so willingly to help me, even if he had to leave work to do so.

Walking down the wide hallway of the hospital, on our way out, if people weren't staring at the Doctor then they were staring at the sickly bulge of my stomach that was very noticeable. It really didn't bother me that everyone was staring. I was the type of person to not really care what others thought of me.

We reached the black Mercedes.

The beautiful creature turned to look at me. "Do you want to lie down in the back or would you rather recline in the passenger seat?"

"Passenger seat is fine." I replied.

He opened and closed the passenger door for me. I immediately reclined my seat back to how I like, my eyes closing. I felt ready to fall asleep at any moment.

I heard the driver's side opening and closing.

A moment later the car purred to life. I felt the car moving, backing out of the parking spot. I sighed once, my mind wondering for a little bit as I heard the heat coming on before actually feeling it moments later.

Sitting there so still, so quiet with my mind free to think is when the moving around in my stomach was more noticeable. The first time I actually felt it when now actually knowing what it is. I felt the… baby? Is that what I would call it, I thought to myself? I'm pregnant with… a baby.

I could feel it moving around, giving one painful kick. I slightly winced, quickly composing myself. I kept my breathing slow and even, the baby giving me one more kick that wouldn't have been so bad if it wasn't in the same spot as the last, before finally sitting still against my left side.

Is there still a chance I won't live through this even with the Doctor's help?

I tried not to think about it, reminding myself that there will be plenty of time to talk about it whenever I wake up.

With my eyes still closed, I moved my hand against where I felt the little life in my stomach, rubbing there, joy strangely sprouting inside of me as I continued to rub the baby, the closest I've ever tried getting to... my baby.

I felt a smile start to form on my lips, the strange joy still present throughout me...

My baby.

Okay so I know it has been awhile since I updated this. I decided it was time to put up a chapter. I'm working on Darkened Clouds chapter now. Like I said before, I'm putting the Renesmee story first. I was having terrible writer's block on that story but I wrote some of the next chapter for Darkened Clouds.

OH btw, don't forget that I write notes in my profile about what's going on with me/my stories.

Can you please review this?
