It seemed like everyday we had someone visiting us. One day it was Alice, the next it was Esme. I didn't mind them coming over but I really just wanted to get used to my new home. It felt weird not having to get up and make breakfast. Edward always had it made before I got up. One of the many advantages of not having to sleep I guess. We lived happily enough. Edward started keeping blood stored in the house so that he wouldn't have to leave me.

Now that I was finally starting to show Edward got more paranoid as ever. He didn't want me to do anything. Whenever I started to get up to get something he would run and get it for me. Esme invited us over one day to visit but Edward felt we should stay home. Wonder why. It was starting to get annoying. One day I finally got sick of it.

"Will you please let me do it!"

"Bella I just don't want you to strain yourself."

"Edward I am fine. You know I manage to bath myself! I cant believe you haven't insisted on doing that for me to!"

"I doubt that would be very safe on your part."

I ignored his sexual intent.

"Edward let me do things for myself. Your making me miserable!"

I guess that wasn't the right thing to say. His face became very upset and he hugged me. I obviously hurt his feeling. I didn't mean to but geeze. I am an adult. I should be able to do things for myself. I didn't need him to do everything for me.

"Bella I'm sorry."

"Its fine…"

"I just don't want anything to happen to you or the baby."

I knew just how he felt but making me into a slug wasn't going to help any. He let go of me and walked over to turn on the TV. He wasn't watching it. He never watched TV. I wondered into the kitchen to find something to snack on. We didn't have any chips. I decided to go to the store. I don't know why though, he wasn't going to let me go. He would insist on going himself.

"Hey Edward?"

"Yes love?"

"I think I'm going to go to the store."

Silence.

"Were are the keys?"

Silence.

"I'll just check over…"

"Bella do you mind if I join you?"

Surprise.

"No of course not, please come."

He stood up and held the door open for me. I stepped out and started down the stairs to the Volvo. Edward held the car door open and shut it once I was inside. The ride there was silent but not uncomfortable. When we got into the store I had like 10 more cravings than when I left the house. Edward followed me through the store and laughed as I threw things into the cart. I got apples, Doritos, mint chocolate chip ice cream, hotdogs, doughnuts, crackers, a watermelon, 5 different bags of candy, and some raspberry tea. Edward carried all the bags to the car and into the house.

I was following him up the stairs when pain blossomed into my stomach. It was the worst pain yet. I tripped up the steps and fell onto the landing. I didn't hear Edward come but when I opened my eyes he was at my side. I couldn't think about anything but the pain. I held my stomach and tried to ride it out but it felt like it was getting worse. Edward was trying to lift me up but the movement caused more pain. When I screamed he immediately put me back. His hand was over mine on my stomach. I kept waiting for the pain to stop but it didn't seem to be going away.

"Bella what's happening?"

"I…don't…know," I gasped.

"I need to get you to Carlisle."

"But it hurts," I said through clenched teeth.

"I can see that but he can help us figure out what's happening."

"AHHHH!"

This time it felt like someone was stabbing me. It was a burning pain that all too painfully reminded me of James. It was like wave after wave slammed into me. I could barely breath. Edward wrapped his arm around me to try and help me up. I heard him gasp but I didn't know what it was from. He lifted me up into his arms and started down the stairs. I looked behind us before he turned the corner and saw the puddle of blood where I had been

We got to Carlisle faster than I thought. By the time we arrived at the large white house my pain had lessened. Edward Carrie my up to his fathers office where we found Carlisle and Alice waiting for us.

"Lay her down here Edward."

"Bella do you feel any pain?" Alice asked in her high voice.

"Yeah," I whispered.

I wasn't sure why I was whispering.

"She collapsed on the stairs and seconds later I smelled the blood."

"Do you know how much?" Carlisle asked.

"Not enough to hurt the baby. At least I don't think."

They spoke some more but I drifted in and out. I was thinking about the baby. My eyes were burning. Tears covered my face and I hadn't even realize it. Alice wiped my face with her cold hand. She smiled and it seemed genuine. She must have seen what happened. If she looked this calm then things must end up okay. I didn't think she would hide anything from me. Edward leaned over to talk to me.

"Bella Carlisle is going to give you something to put you out for a little while so he can figure out what is going on okay?"

I didn't like the idea of not knowing what was happening but if it would help I didn't think I was going to refuse.

"Okay. Are you leaving?"

"No love, I'm not going anywhere."

Carlisle approached me with a large needle. I turned to look at Edward so that I didn't have to see. The pinch of the need was the last thing I felt. Edward was still leaning over me as my vision faded. The last thing that went through my mind was how bad I wanted some chips.
