***THE FANTASTIC STEPHENIE MEYER OWNS TWILIGHT AND ALL CHARACTERS***

A/N: Hello my sweethearts! Thanks for your continued support of Spin Cycle. It has by far been my best story. To think that it started out as a one shot and is now a multi chapter story blows me away! I wanted to clarify a couple things that have come up in the reviews for the last chapter. First, neither Edward nor Bella new about the baby yet. Bella has just come off birth control in the last few months and most likely didn't even notice her cycle was absent, so Edward won't think she kept the baby a secret from him and be upset. And second, no James didn't rape Bella. That was his intention but when she fought him so hard it made him angry so he beat her instead. Ok, so here we go with the next chapter and hopefully a Texas sized ass whoopin' for Trooper Hunter. On with our story….

EPOV

I was stunned into silence. Bella was pregnant? I was going to be a Daddy? I wondered if she already knew this and hadn't told me yet. My mind couldn't comprehend what I had heard from Dr. Meyer. Alice and Jasper had gone home and I stayed beside Bella's bed waiting for her to wake up. There was no way I was leaving my angel. I reached down to gently touch her still flat stomach and felt the burn of tears begin to fall down my cheeks. Our baby was in there and given what happened to Bella tonight, we could have very well lost him or her. That thought hit me like a ton of bricks and the sobs coming from my body were immediate.

"Ed…Edward? What hap…" I looked up to brown eyes full of concern and fear.

"Oh angel, baby it's ok. I'm glad you're awake. Don't try to talk Bella, just rest." I stroked her hair and she leaned into my touch. I whispered my love over and over to her and soothed her back to sleep. She needed to rest and to heal. We would have time to talk tomorrow.

When I was sure Bella was back asleep I stepped out of the room and placed a call to Sgt. Cheney. It was a little past six in the morning and I wanted to know if McCarty had found anything on the cameras.

"Cheney speaking"

"Sgt. Cheney it's Edward. What have you found out?"

"Cullen, how is Bella? We are all so worried about her."

"She woke up a little bit ago confused. I told her to rest though so she went back to sleep. I need to know what happened to my wife sir. With all due respect, I can't wait any longer."

"I understand Edward. Trooper Black is on his way to the hospital now. He's being posted outside of Bella's room until further notice. Once he arrives, I need you to meet me in the first floor conference room at the hospital. I figured you wouldn't want to leave Bella for very long, so I'm bringing McCarty and some interesting footage with me. I've already cleared it with hospital personnel so we won't be disturbed in the room. I am leaving the station now and will see you soon."

"Ok Ben. Thanks for everything. We appreciate it." I went back into Bella's room just as Jacob arrived. I owed him big time for finding my angel and getting her the help she needed.

"Cullen, how is she?" he reached his hand out to shake mine.

"She's going to be ok man. Thanks to you and your quick response. I owe you for that Jake. I'll never forget it. Thank you for being concerned enough to go check on her."

"I knew something wasn't right Edward. Bella is always quick to answer when we call in. I called her five times with no answer. Something just didn't feel right. When I walked in I knew something was terribly wrong. She wasn't sitting at the desk and she would never leave it unattended for more than a few seconds."

"I am so mad man. I need to know what happened. I have a sick feeling that Hunter had something to do with it. And so help me, I will murder that son of a bitch. Has anyone found him?"

"Not that I know of. But Cheney and McCarty were holed up in Cheney's office all morning. I'm sure they have footage of what went down. Cheney told me to get my ass in front of Bella's door and not move. Trust me Edward, I'll take care of her. Nobody is getting in here unless you give permission."

"Thanks man. You're a good friend." I patted him on the shoulder just as a nurse walked up to tell me that I was needed on the first floor. I nodded and went back in to kiss my sleeping beauty on the forehead. She sighed and that made me feel better.

The elevator ride to the first floor seemed to take hours. Finally I arrived at the conference room and found Emmett and Ben waiting for me. They had a small video player set up in the room on the table.

"Ok, tell me now. What happened to my wife?" I took a seat and tried to calm my nerves. Cheney spoke first.

"Look Edward, what you are going to see is not pretty. I need you to sit there and stay calm for your own good. Do not get out of that seat Trooper. That's a direct order." Emmett had moved to stand behind me. I figured it was to ensure I did stay in my seat. This did not sound good and I was already about to throw up.

"Fine. Just show me the footage." I was on the edge of my seat and losing my patience. Cheney pressed play and the video started. My beautiful Bella was standing behind her desk chair at the radio stretching. She must have gotten sleepy so it looks like she was walking around a bit to wake herself up. Then the video switched to another camera which was in the hallway in front of her office. That's when I saw it. Fucking James Hunter grabbed Bella and slammed her against the wall. My fist balled at my side. Emmett placed his hands on my shoulders and I batted them away. There was no audio but I could see him speaking to her and she was screaming something at him. He ripped her blouse open and began to put his vile hands on her bra covered breasts. I was just about to lose my shit. Nobody touches my wife. NOBODY. Bella manages to hit him in the head and he stumbles. She tries to get away but he catches her and slams her down on the floor, landing on top of her. I can tell she's crying and he's cupping her cheek. When the son of a bitch leans down to kiss her neck I am up out of my chair. Emmett grabs me and Cheney shoots me a bitch brow. I have never felt so helpless in my life. I am watching this motherfucker manhandle my wife and try to rape her.

The next thing I see is Bella kicking James square in the nuts. This works because he gets off of her and doubles over holding his nuts. Bella isn't fast enough to get away and he grabs her and pulls her back down. That's when he back hands her across the cheek and she goes limp on the floor. He stands up and backs away from her and looks directly into the camera. You can tell he says "fuck" and turns to quickly leave. The footage stops there. I am absolutely livid.

"Cheney, I want that motherfucker found. I want his blood. I will kill that son of a bitch as soon as I see him and I don't give a shit about anything else. I don't care about my career, I don't care about my reputation and frankly I don't care about the department. He put his hands on my wife. I warned him months ago to stay away from her. I promise you I will kill him. NOBODY PUTS THEIR HANDS ON MY FUCKING WIFE!" I was screaming at this point.

"CULLEN! CALM THE FUCK DOWN NOW! I told you we will find James Hunter. I have an APB out on him now and all our available Troopers are looking for him. I have called in every officer I have from vacation, personal leave, everything. Not one person has declined coming in. Edward, everybody wants him found. We all love you and Bella very much and rest assured, Hunter will be dealt with accordingly. I don't need you going off half-cocked and ruining your career over that piece of shit. I understand you want his head. Hell, if someone touched my Angela I would feel the same way. Trust me Edward. Let me bring him in. Let me explain to him the consequences of his actions. Let me allow you in a room with him where there are no cameras." He raised his eyebrows suggestively and I got his drift. Hell yeah. Cheney was going to give that motherfucker to me on a silver platter and look the other way.

"JUST. FIND. HIM. That's all I want. He needs to know that I won't allow him to touch my wife and get away with it." Cheney nodded. I turned to Emmett and saw the concern in his eyes.

"Em, thanks for going through the footage and finding this. I appreciate it." I shook his large hand.

"Edward, we will get him. And trust me when I say, he has an ass whoopin' coming. A Texas sized one at that."

I thanked them both again and told them to make sure to let me know when they found that piece of shit Hunter. Oh the things I wanted to do to him. But for right now, I had to put that thought out of my mind and go back to my beautiful Bella. She was going to need me and now we had a baby to prepare for. I sent up a prayer of thanks to the good Lord for keeping our little one safe.

My eyelids felt like they each weighed a thousand pounds and dammit my fucking head hurts. I blinked my eyes trying to adjust to the darkened room. I was in the hospital and I was alone. That's when it all came back to me. James trying to rape me, then hitting me, and then I saw Edward's face over my bed, but where was he now? I was just about to push the button for the nurse when my bronze haired Adonis walked back into my room. His eyes had dark circles underneath them and he looked tired.

"Edward, baby" I reached out for him and he flew into my arms hugging me tightly and kissing the side of my head. I winced at my quick movements. My entire body was sore as hell.

"Hi Sweetheart. How are you feeling baby? Do you need some water or pain meds?"

"My entire body hurts. Edward, I need to tell you what happened." I had to get this out.

"Shh sweetheart. I already know. Cheney just showed me all the video footage. Bella I'm so sorry I wasn't there to protect you. I knew Hunter was bad news as soon as I met him."

"It's not your fault. Edward, something happened the day I picked Alice up at the airport and I didn't tell you about it. I thought I could handle it on my own. Clearly I was wrong. Please don't be angry with me." I felt the tears flowing down my face.

"What happened Bella? Tell me." He brushed the hair back from my forehead. I told him everything about the day James came on to me at the store and about the winks and inappropriate words since then. I could tell Edward was pissed off as his jaw clenched over and over.

"I'm so sorry I didn't say something. I didn't think he would be that stupid after you told him to leave me alone."

"Sweetheart, it's ok. I'm not mad at you. But please promise me you won't ever keep something like that from me again. Had I known I would have gone to Cheney and never had you scheduled alone with him. We could have had him fired for sexual harassment or something."

"I promise baby. I love you Edward. I fought him as hard as I could. He tried to rape me but I was not going to let that happen. It didn't matter what I had to do." The tears were flowing hard and fast now as Edward cradled me in his arms gently rocking me back and forth.

"I promise you Isabella, he will never hurt you again. I will see to that. But right now sweetheart, I have something I need to show you." He pulled back from me and I laid down on my pillow. I watched him reach into his pocket and pull out a small white piece of paper.

"What's that? Why are you smiling Trooper?" he had that devilish little boy grin on his face and I knew he was up to something. I couldn't help the smile on my face.

"Well, while you were sedated your doctor came in and talked to me to update me on your condition. All your tests came back fine and your bloodwork is fine. However they did find a small growth in your uterus."

"Oh my God. What is it?" I was panicking. Could I have cancer? Did this mean I wasn't going to be able to have Edward's baby? I was almost to the point of tears when Edward placed the piece of paper in my hand and I looked down at it. It was an ultrasound picture. Wait, what?

"Congratulations Mrs. Cullen. You're eleven weeks pregnant" he was beaming at me, his green eyes sparkling.

"Pregnant? A baby? We're going to have a…" my mind went back to the attack I had suffered and my entire world came crashing down. "Edward, is the baby ok? I mean after what James did?"

"Yes love, the baby is fine. They made sure of that. We were very lucky. I heard the heartbeat Bella. It was the most amazing sound in the world." He brought his lips to mine in a searing kiss. Quickly I lost myself in him. We were having a baby. A little Trooper!

EPOV

Bella was released from the hospital two days after the incident and put on bed rest for the next couple of weeks to ensure her pregnancy was stable. It was just a precautionary measure as all tests indicated we were good. James Hunter still hadn't been found but they were doing everything they could. I was given a week off to stay with Bella. I think they mostly did it to keep me away from the station in case they brought him in. I placed a call to the one person I knew would want to be involved in the "interrogation" once we found the slimy motherfucker. Charlie Swan.

To say Chief Swan was pissed was an understatement. When we told him he was going to be a grandfather he softened up immediately. He was going to be on the first plane here and would be staying until Hunter was found. There was no arguing with Charlie.

Bella was sleeping on the couch while I made us some lunch. She had seem to breeze through the pregnancy so far with no morning sickness. Sure, we didn't even know she was pregnant but still, she was lucky. We were almost past the first three months where they say miscarriage is most likely so we were definitely blessed. Once lunch was ready I went to wake Bella.

"Sweetheart, wake up baby. I made you some lunch." I leaned down and kissed her cheek softly.

"Mmm Edward, you are such a good husband." She kissed me hard and my cock noticed immediately when her tongue sought mine out. She sat up and wrapped her arms around my neck, which brought me down to my knees in front of her. When she moaned into my mouth I almost came in my pants.

"Damn baby, you can't kiss me like that right now. You need rest and to heal. We can't get carried away." I tried to pull her hands away from my neck, but she only tightened her hold.

"I want you Edward. I need to feel you. Please baby? Will you make love to me?" She started to run her fingers through my hair and gently scratch my scalp. I swear I was purring.

"Fuck Bella, I want to. I really REALLY want to. But I don't want to hurt you or the baby."

"You won't Edward. You are always so gentle. Please, I need to forget him touching me. I need you to touch me." And there it was. I knew she needed to talk about what happened to her. But every time I mentioned it she would change the subject. There was no way I could make love to her when she was in this frame of mind.

"Sweetheart, you need to talk about what happened. It's not good for you to keep it inside." I reached to push some hair behind her ear.

"I don't want to talk Edward. Right now I want to fuck. I want to fuck you. If you can't do that then I guess I'll have to take care of it myself." She moved to stand up but must have gotten up too quickly because she staggered into my chest.

"Whoa baby, are you ok?" I wrapped my arms around her waist to steady her. She grabbed on to my forearms for support.

"I'm fine. I just got dizzy. Look baby, I'm sorry. I know I'm being a bitch. Can I blame it on hormones?" She smiled up at me through her lashes.

"You can blame whatever you want darlin'. But Bella, we really need to talk about what happened. I mean that." I kissed the tip of her nose.

"Ok. We will. Right now though, the pregnant lady needs to pee." She giggled as I released her and padded her way to the bathroom.

Several hours later we were watching a movie on TV when the doorbell rang. I got up to answer the door and was shocked to see Charlie Swan.

"Charlie, wow, I knew you were coming but not today. Come in." I stepped aside so he could enter. Just then Bella looked up and her eyes went wide.

"Daddy! Oh my God! You're here!" She leapt into his arms and wrapped herself around him.

"Whoa there Bells! Be careful honey, you've got precious cargo on board remember?" He placed her back on the floor and put his hand on her stomach.

"I'm just so glad to see you Daddy." She was still hugging him.

"Charlie come have a seat. Let me take your bag upstairs to the guestroom." I grabbed his duffle bag and headed upstairs. We all sat in the living room and talked. Bella finally talked about what happened to her. I guess between her father being there and me being there she felt comfortable enough.

It was just slightly after eight o'clock in the evening when my cell phone chirped with a text message. I slid the screen open to see it was from Jacob Black.

Cullen, we got him. McCarty and Whitlock are on their way back to the station with him. Word has it he resisted arrest pretty badly and they had to defend themselves. *cough*. I suggest you get up here. –JB

Fucking hot damn. James Hunter was on his way in and from the sounds of it, Emmett and Jasper had worked him over a little. Pity he resisted arrest so badly. Damn the luck. I knew Charlie would want to come with me, but I didn't want to leave Bella alone. I decided to text Alice to see if she would come over.

Hey Pix, can you come over and stay with Bella for a bit? Jasper and Emmett are bringing Hunter in and I need to be there. Hurry. Xoxo-E

She responded immediately and said she was on her way. She would be here in about ten minutes as she lived pretty close. I went to the kitchen where Charlie and Bella were having a snack.

"Well, Jacob Black just sent me a text. Bella, they have James in custody. Jasper and Emmett are bringing him in now. I need to go up to the station. Charlie, I assume you will be coming with me?" He nodded once. "Bella, Alice is on her way here to stay with you. I'm not sure how long I'll be baby and I didn't want you to be alone." I ran my hand along her still bruised cheek.

"Edward please, don't ruin your career over him. Please? Don't kill him. Let's just forget all about this. I don't want you hurt." She was beginning to cry.

"Sweetheart, I'm just going in there to talk to him. He needs to know what he did is completely unacceptable. Plus, your Dad will be there with me" I looked up to Charlie and we had a silent conversation with our eyes. "And I'm sure he won't let me fly off the handle."

"Bells, don't worry. It's not good for the baby. I've got Edward's back. I promise." He moved to kiss his daughter and as he walked past me he nodded his head and patted me on the shoulder.

"Please be careful Edward. Remember we have a baby on the way." She kissed me gently on the lips as she moved to go back over to the couch. "And Edward, kick the bastard in the nuts once or twice for me huh?" She winked at me and suddenly I felt much better about what was about to go down.

Alice had arrived and Charlie and I were on our way. Soon we were pulling up to the station. Just as was about to get out of the truck, Charlie grabbed my arm.

"Edward, I know you are packing some serious heat. I think it would be a good idea if you gave me your gun." He smirked at me and I had to laugh just a bit. I should have known better than to try to get anything by Chief Charlie Swan. He was hip to all the games we officers played. Shaking my head, I reached behind me and pulled my pistol and holster from the waistband of my jeans and handed both to Charlie.

"And what about your gun Chief?" I raised an accusatory eyebrow at him and all he did was smirk. I knew I liked Charlie Swan.

We were met at the door by Sgt. Cheney and Emmett. Ben raised his hand and put it to my chest.

"Cullen, let me be very clear. You will remain calm at all times. You will follow department policies, and under no circumstances are you to touch Trooper Hunter." I was confused for a brief moment until I noticed the gleam in Emmett's eyes. Ben barely glanced up at the camera perched over the door to the station. This one recorded sound too. Suddenly I was aware of what he was doing so I played along.

"Yes sir Sgt. I understand. This is Chief Charlie Swan, Bella's father. He's the Chief of Police in Forks, Washington." They shook hands and Cheney stepped aside so we could walk into his office. Once we were in there, Jasper and Jake had joined us and Emmett closed the door. Cheney began.

"Here's what's going to happen Edward. We have cleared out all the cells back there. The only person in there is Hunter. Unfortunately, Whitlock here inadvertently hit the camera with his nightstick when an unruly inmate got out of hand this morning. It's broken and they can't get a new one installed for a couple days. That being said, we went ahead and transferred the inmates that were there over to county jail. McCarty, Whitlock, and Black are on duty and in uniform. They will escort you and Chief Swan back to discuss things with Mr. Hunter." He raised his eyebrows at me silently asking if I understood what he was saying.

"Very good Sgt. Cheney. I understand perfectly." With that, we all walked out of Cheney's office. I glanced at Charlie and he nodded. We were led to the back where Hunter was being kept and Jasper unlocked the door. Charlie and I walked in and down to the last cell. I heard the door close and lock and looked back to see Jasper, Jake, and Emmett standing shoulder to shoulder in front of it, making absolutely sure no one entered.

When I looked into the cell, I saw him. Fucking James Hunter. He was sitting on the bench in the cell looking down at the floor with his hands clasped between his parted knees. My blood was boiling and I was sweating. I could feel the adrenaline coursing through my veins and was trying to reign in my emotions. He hadn't yet seen me. Apparently Jasper had passed Charlie the keys to the cell when I wasn't looking because I heard the lock click and Charlie slid the door open. This caused Hunter to look up directly into my cold eyes.

"Hello James. I think it's time you and I had a discussion about my wife." Charlie slid the cell door closed behind me as I stalked towards the motherfucker who dared to lay a hand on my most precious possession with one thing on my mind. Retribution.

A/N: One Texas sized beat down coming soon! I think the Cullen Crazy Train is about to leave the station with FULL FORCE. What do ya'll think?
