Recap-

We said our good nights to everyone and Edward carried me to our bed room, so we could celebrate our baby news. Of course in the same way he or she was made (big smile across my face).

"I love you Edward."

"I love you, too, my Bella."

Chapter 28: My Bella

(Edward POV)

Looking back over today events, I was shocked at how strong Bella had been.

The cliff and her falling off, changing into a monster, our baby, her new brother or sister, what more could have been pushed upon her today?

My Bella held strong, she's much stronger than I have ever given her credit for. My angel, my love, Bella is my whole life and my whole world.

I smiled down at her as I watched her sleep in my arms, in my bed. Bella was sleeping so soundly, 'I wonder if she'll talk in her sleep tonight,' I thought to myself.

"Alice!" I called out in a whisper so that I didn't wake Bella up, but I knew Alice would hear me if she hadn't already "seen" me calling for her.

Within a matter of seconds, Alice was standing in my and Bella's room. Yeah, I like the sound of that.

"What is it that you might want, my dear brother?"Alice called out.

"I wanted to ask you without Bella knowing, if you could please look into our future. I need to know that our baby won't harm her in any way," I told her.

Alice just smiled her pixie grin and nodded her head. "Edward, I already knew that you would want that so I already looked. As far as I can "see", all is well. I even know what my new godchild is going to be," She added with a small evil little laugh.

"Unless Bella wants to know, please don't tell anyone. I mean it, Alice, don't even buy clothes that are for a boy or a girl either, if Bella doesn't want to know, no one will," I told her.

I didn't like to have things kept from me but this time when Alice blocked her mind, I knew it was for the best, so I let it be.

(Bella's sleep-talking)

"Edward!" I was calling as I walked around in the woods. I was carrying a newborn baby and its eyes were brown like mine with a slight hint of a green ring around the outer sides of the eye.

The baby's hair was bronze in color, like Edward's, but had small curls like my dad's. "Edward, find a lion for the baby, its dinner time and we're hungry again."

The colors around me just kept changing and I couldn't stay on the path. "Jacob! What are you doing here? No! Stay away! This baby is mine and you can't have it! Edward! Edward! Help!"

(Edward's POV)

"Bella, love, wake up, I'm right here and no one is going to take our baby." I was telling her but I was also telling myself.

I like that I can see inside of Bella mind sometimes now -that is when she lets me in- and when she sleeps it is easier for me to read her.

I would kill that Jacob Black if he ever came after my Bella or our baby, I would kill anyone that hurt either of them.

Bella opened her eyes and the look of terror was there. I had never seen her look at me like that before.

"Bella, are you okay, love?" I asked her.

She looked at me, pulled away out of my arms, and almost fell off the bed.

"Bella, it's me, Edward. Love, what's wrong? I'm here for you, you know that," I said without a thought.

The closer I looked at her the more I saw that her eyes was not the beautiful shade of chocolate brown that I have grown to love so much. She had specks of red, crimson red, in them.

The same shade a newborn would have or a vampire that drank human blood.

"Carlisle, can you please come here?" I asked in a low tone, much too low for Bella to hear.

"Why are you calling him? I'm fine, Edward," Bella said in a flat tone.

"Bella, you are not fine!" I told her.

"Edward, I'm hungry," Bella said, but the way she looked had said something different.

"What would you like, love?" I asked.

She smiled and said, "Your blood," in a matter-of-factly tone. I would give her anything she wanted, but I never thought she would ask for my blood for food.

Alice was in my room with Carlisle before I could use my teeth to cut my arm so Bella could have what she wanted.

"Stop, Edward, Bella can't have any of your blood tonight," Alice called. "I saw it and if you let her, she'll drink it all for the baby. Bella is not Bella right now. She's dangerous, to you most of all, because she's so close to you and because you two have a blood bond already," Alice said.

"I don't understand, Alice, Bella and I have traded a dozen or so times, what's different tonight?" I asked.

"Edward, she doesn't want to trade tonight, and every other time was out of love and connection, tonight is out of blood lust. Bella is turning and the baby is speeding up the process," Alice said.

"Carlisle, can you help us, help her?" I asked looking at my father. Okay, so I'm over a hundred years old, but I needed my father more tonight then I ever had. And Carlisle is my father.

He walked over and started to talk to Bella, who had been quiet and watching the whole time. He handed her a glass of something, both he and Alice had their minds blocked now.

'I knew that Alice was hiding the facts about the baby's sex but Carlisle, why was he blocking me now too?' I thought to myself. 'Maybe, I should call Jasper, he might be able to help, he knows newborns.'

"Call him, Edward, he'll help, I see it now," Alice said with a smile "Call Rosalie too, Bella wants her here," she added.

Bella wants Rose here? What could that be about?

"Edward, Bella and Rose have bonded and she'll help Bella with the change, she will be changing tonight," Alice said.

"Tonight? What about the baby? How can she carry and have the baby if she changes tonight?" I asked out of shock and fear for my love, Bella.

"Edward, why do you all feel the need to talk to me like I'm not in the room?" Bella asked. Then she turned to Carlisle and asks for more of whatever was in the cup.

Carlisle smiled and left to fill it again. Jasper was on his way to my room now with Rose and Emmett close behind him.

"Get out of here now!" Bella yelled.

Who was she talking to? Alice just said that she would want Rose here so it must be Jasper or Emmett.

"Bella, who would like to leave the room, love?" I asked her.

She looked right at me and said in a harsh tone, "You!"

My face dropped and I looked at my beautiful Bella, if I could have cried I would have.

"Jasper, please take care of her, she's everything to me," I asked of him as Emmett and I left the room.

Waiting in the hall was the hardest thing I had ever had to do so far in my long, very long life. This was even harder than when I turned away from her for her own good.

This felt like a thousand flicks of fire dancing on my body and in my heart. My Bella was in the room right in front of me and she didn't want me in there.

Alice came out, hugged me, and told me to stay strong.

"Stay strong," I said back to her as she kissed my head and went back into be with Bella and the others.

I wish my mother was home but she was out shopping in New York for the baby's room. She's such a wonderful mother, just as good as my human one was, what I remember of her anyway.

As I sat in the hall, I was broken man with the dry sobs coming out of control from my chest. I felt something that I have never felt before, at least not for the longest time, I felt hot tears running down my face and into my hands.

I called for Carlisle to come to me so he could see this, this wonderful thing. Not only was Bella becoming more like my kind but I was also becoming more like her kind, human.
