Chapter 2:
EPOV:
After that last failed attempt to get pregnant by ourselves, I suggested to Bella that we go to a fertility clinic and have a professional there give us their opinion on our situation and what we should do next. I did some research on the internet and found one in our area that looked promising and had a good reputation.
So today we were headed to the West Valley Fertility Center. It would be a half-hour drive from our house in New River, Arizona to the clinic. I had to hold Bella's hand the whole way; not that I really minded of course. Her hand shook slightly, and I could tell she was nervous about what the doctors would say. Whenever I could, I would look at her, but she just stared ahead out the windshield. I could tell from the way her eyebrows were knit together in a deep rut upon her usually smooth forehead, that she was deep in thought-thoughts that she kept silent and locked away from me.
BPOV:
I made the appointment that we were going to about two weeks ago. At first I was elated and excited because I thought maybe Edward and I would finally get pregnant. But then I got a pang of fear, terrified of what the doctors might tell us. Was there something wrong with Edward; was there something wrong with me? What exactly was holding us back from getting the baby we so desperately wanted? As our appointment loomed closer and closer, my imagination went absolutely wild.
I kept thinking that we were going to be told that we could never have children, or that they would turn us away from their services. I had explicit nightmares that chilled me to the bone. Last night's was extremely terrifying, and I attributed to the fact that it was just because my sub-conscious knew the appointment was only a few hours away.
(Flashback to dream)
We walked through the clinic doors, and went to the receptionist desk. Without saying a single word, she handed us our paper work with a sick smile on her face. I was confused that she didn't ask us our names, or anything really, but forgot about it and went to sit down with Edward to wait and fill out our paper work. The second we filled out the last empty box, a nurse came and called us. We walked back with her through a long, eerie hallway that seemed like it wasn't appropriate for the forced cheeriness of the usual medical setting. The strange sterile smell burnt my nose as we walked. We finally came to a room and the nurse told us to sit down and wait for the doctor. We waited…and waited...after what seemed like an eternity a doctor fianlly came in.
"Why are you here if you're already pregnant?" he asked gesturing to my stomach. I looked down and gasped at my swollen and distended stomach.
"Wait! What is this? I'm not pregnant! How is this possible?" I panicked and screamed at the doctor and Edward. They both started to laugh at me, a sick maniacal laugh that scared the living daylights out of me. I looked down at my stomach, and saw a pool of blood at my feet, could feel the sickening warmth of it trickling down my legs. I a terrible pain shot down my lower abdomen, and screamed in agony.
"Looks like you're in the labor," the doctor chuckled with an evil grin, "Nurse, take this woman to the operating room". A nurse came in and put me in a wheelchair and wheeled me out of the room. I closed my eyes and screamed as the pain overwhelmed me. When I opened my eyes I was in a white room lying in a bed. There was a bright light shining on me, blinding me.
"I'm so sorry for your loss Mrs. Masen," a nurse suddenly said to me, condolences lacing her voice. "What are you talking about?" a asked desperately, confused as to what she was trying to tell her. "Your baby is dead", she said with sorrow in her eyes. Then I felt a sharp stabbing pain go over my stomach, and I screamed. But then I heard a high pitched cry that wasn't my own and stopped. "Congratulations Mrs. Masen, it's a girl", the same nurse said while handing me a bloody bundle.
I tried to get rid of the bundle, but it wouldn't come out of my hands. Edward appeared and he approached, the bed and pressed a kiss to my sweaty forehead, "She's beautiful sweetheart." Tears tracked out of my bloodshot eyes and I started to bleed all over and I once more screamed out for Edward.
I woke up with a similar scream. It had all just been a nightmare. I breathed heavily against the headboard of our bed, a few drops of sweat dewing in my hairline. I brushed some of it with a shaky hand as I tried to get a hold on myself.
"It's alright babe, it was just a dream. It wasn't real, it's ok Bella." Edward assured me. His arms were wrapped around me, and I figured he had woken when he heard my screams. "Oh Edward!" I exclaimed and cried into his chest, thoroughly drenching his pajama t-shirt until I fell asleep. This took a long time because I was so afraid that the terrible images would pop back into my head the minute I closed my eyes.
(End flashback)
This dream continued to plague me throughout the drive to the clinic. I knew it was literally impossible, but when I'm scared, everything seems possible.
A/N: Hope you enjoyed it! R/R please.
