Chapter 4

Bella pov

Nathan and Matt had just gone out to acquire some blood for the baby and me. It grossed me out to have to drink blood but if it's good for the baby I would man up and do it. I sat on the large brown swade corner sofa snuggling into Jacob's warm shoulder. I was freezing. We were watching a rerun of futerarma, the one where benders massive, when I felt a small kick at my stomach. Then there was another kick and I let out a little yelp.

"Bella! What's wrong?" Jacob called out. He was worried.

"Oh my baby is just stretching. Nothing to worry about." I said in a far of voice. The whole world changed even though none of it had, It kicked out the little feeling that I was not perangent and just had the flu. Now I know I have a part of Edward even if he wasn't here, I had his child. To confirm I was 'with child' as Matt put it was that I had a small but very notable Bump. It had developed over the last hour. They were right this was going to be quick as my baby was only conceived the day before my birthday four days ago.

-Flash back-

Edward looked at me with a glint of something in his eyes. We were at his house, alone. I was having a sleepover with 'Alice.'

"Are you sure there's nothing I can't you anything for your birthday?" He asked.

"No. Edward I'm not sure." This was my chance to get the human experience I really wanted. The one he wants me to forget about. I put my arms around his neck pulling him closer to me. I kissed him with so much passion. To my surprise he kissed me back just as hard. He picked me up from the sofa and the next minute we were in his room. I broke away from his kiss and started to unbutton his shirt and we did the deed. It felt amazing.

-End of flashback-

So now I find myself there carrying his child. I saw myself holding a blanket bundle. The bundle was my pretty baby, I couldn't tell whether the baby was a boy or girl with their emerald green eyes and a full head of hair, but I was pretty sure it was a boy. I will call him Anthony. His father's middle name Anthony Edward sounded good. If I called him Edward it would get to confusing. Anthony smiled at me showing his gummy mouth and I smiled back at him. He was the most precious thing I had ever seen.

I must have been dreaming as the next thing I knew I woke up in Nathan's bedroom with him holding out a pint glass. "It's blood." I took the cup and sniffed in the cup it smelt good. What has gotten in to me, I never liked the smell of blood before it had always made me feel sick. Well, things change. I just looked at the cup. "Bella. You have to drink it. Looking at it won't help you or the baby." I put the straw to my mouth and sucked up. Not only did it smell good, it tasted good as well. I finished the cup with in about two minutes. Nathan was sat at the end of the bed. He was fiddling with something gold. "We'll get the spear room ready for you, but it could take a while. None of us are any good with flat packs." I laughed and crawled down the end of the bed to look over his shoulder.

"Oh it's okay. That's pretty." I told him. The gold thing he was fiddling with was a gold locket.

"I was my mum's. She gave it to me just before she died." He looked like he was about to cry. I was about to say something when he interrupted me. "She said it was for my first born daughter or something, it's all a bit sketchy though. Of course that's probably never gonna Happen. I bet you what to know about mine and Matt's passed?" I shake my head, but I was lying I was interested, an awful lot. "Come on Bella I would be if I was in your shoes."

"Maybe I was. Just a little bit. You don't have to tell me if don't want to.' I whispered and crawled back under the covers. I looked at my belly it was bigger than before.

"Silly Bella. I wouldn't have offered if I wasn't willing to talk about it." He came to sit next to me on the bed. I felt like a little kid when my mum used to tell me bedtime stories. "Where do I start?" He asked. "The beginning. Would be good. I was born in Seattle on July the 5th 1988. My Father was Mathew Green and my mother was Susan Green. They just married and left collage when my mum got pregnant with me. My dad was a lawyer and my mum was a teacher. Everything was great we were a happy till I was eleven."

"What happened when you were eleven?" I knew it wasn't going to be good.

"My dad was away doing business in New York, a big case. The night before he was due to come home, he was in the hotel car park where he was robbed and shot. He died two weeks later in hospital. He died Bella and I remember the last thing I said to him was that I hated him." Nathan was breaking down; I could tell as he was shaking. He carried on, "I was in a mood with him over something trivial and I can't even remember what it was about. All I feel is guilt then and it's even stronger now. I made a promise never to let anyone I love get hurt, it was a promised I couldn't keep.

"Four years went past. Me and mum we got on with life. We were all ether of us had. Of course I had a few girlfriends they all broke my heart. Eventually I stopped letting people in. I had just turned 15. Then my mum got herself a new fella. His name was Felix"

Nathan P.O.V

I was pouring my heart and soul out to this girl, a Girl who I hardly knew and i was telling my deepest darkest memories of the past. I thought if I spoke about it, it would hurt but in fact it felt like something had been lifted off my chest. So I carried on. "I never liked Felix" whenever I say or think his name if i had blood it would be steaming. "There was something off about him. His violet eyes always looked at me with some sort of hunger, like he wanted to eat me or something. He was a right creep. My mum used to send us out together. To get to know each other, neither of us wanted to know each other. He hated me and I hated him. That was the only thing we agreed on. He took me to baseball and other games, I hate any type of sport and the only reason I would go to school games was I was in the band. He would flirt with any female that breathed. I didn't say anything to my mum because she looked happy when she was with him. All i wanted was her to be happy i didn't really care about me.

"One day when i got home from staying at a friend's house for two weeks. Before i even opened the door i heard Felix shouting. I can remember exactly what he said. He said 'How could i ever love you. I was here of a job my master wants the boy. My master needs him he's important. Do you want to die just like Matthew. I will have him and our baby. You are going to die just to protect your kids. You are a fool woman. I will kill you.' my mum screamed then. I ran thought the door to see my mum laying on the floor with a massive belly and Felix on the sofa across at the other side. I ignored Felix and ran to my mum. When i got to her blood started to come up from her stomach. I was packing trying to stop her from bleeding, but I failed. She told me it was her time to go and that i had to look after the both of us. That's when i saw a little baby in the hole in my mum's belly. I took it out. My mum looked up and with her last breath she said I love you my Nathan and my baby Matthew.

"Then she died. My anger bubbled up and I turned to glare at Felix, I was holding my new little bother Matthew, Felix was suddenly right in front of me. He asked for the baby, of course i didn't give Matthew to him. He was all i had left, at that moment i felt a little pitch on my finger and it stared to burn. I screamed out. Then at that moment three black robed figures appeared at the door. Felix pulled Matthew off me and stud up. The biggest figure pulled me up on to my feet and grabbed my hand and put his mouth to my burning finger. He stopped the burning, the pushed me towards to door. I fell towards the floor and banged my head on something cold and exemly hard."

I looked at Bella her mouth was wide open and she had a tear in her left eye. She saw me looking and wiped her tear with the back of her hand. She jestered for me to carry on so i carried on, "When I woke up I was in a room with a high ceiling. It was a round room, a lot like a tower in a medieval castle. I tried to sit up but my head felt so heavy i was unable to. A man as white as a sheet with charcoal black hair, which stopped at his shoulders, walked over to me. He told me not to try to sit up. He said that he had a deal for me it was that if i joined his coven Matthew and i would be safe but if i refused they would kill us both. Of course i accepted the pale man's deal. As soon as i had he bent down and picked my head up. He moved his mouth to my neck and placed his lips to his neck as is he was going to kiss me, the next minute i felt 32 razor like points bite down into my main artery.

"I felt the burn anging but a hundred times worse. Then i felt a bite on both my wrists. The Pain was immense. I screamed out hundreds of times and begged for them to kill me. Finally it stopped and I was this." i gestured down my body. "Felix told me that we, Mathew and I, had to stay with the volitory or we would be killed. We stayed with them in Italy till about a year ago. When we came back we bought his house so now we live there. Jake came to live with us about six months ago. Now you're staying with us and that is basillacly my life so far. Any questions?" I felt like I had just given a pretention.

"So is there someone i haven't met then?" Bella asked me.

"Urr. No it's just me, Matt and Jake. Why do you ask?"

She looked confused, and then it looked like she grasped something. "Is Matt your younger bother?"

"Yer. Oh you didn't get Matt is Mathew shortened." I laughed.

"urmm. Yer, but how he looks older than you?"

"Oh children of vampires age quicker than humans and stop growing at about the age of seven when they look like a fully grown human. So that's how he looks older than me it's a little bit of a bummer really. I look fifteen and my little bro looks Nineteen" she nodded and her eye lids slowly closed. She was asleep.

I was relived I had no secrets with her. Everything was out it the open for me. I felt calm, it was the first time i had in a long time. Since before my mum died know I come to think about it. This feeling is nice. I want to feel this more often.
