FINALS ARE A BITCH! Sorry it took me forever and a day to put this up.
Chapter 12
BPOV:
"Mmmm, I feel sick." I said, closing my eyes. My head was leaning against the window and I was clutching my stomach. We were twisting and turning through mountains. It was making me nauseous. I felt a cold hand touch my forehead. I opened my eyes to see Edward meeting my gaze with his crooked smile.
"Feel better?" He asked teasing.
"Always." I mumbled, returning to my former position, accept this time, Edward grabbed my left hand and held it. Everything was finally coming together. Everything was finally taking shape and maybe finally, Edward and I could start our family together, without interruptions. Maybe my luck had started to change.
Nope.
The next thing I saw was an eighteen wheeler swerving on the narrow mountain path. Edward reacted quickly, trying to get out of the way, he put his arm across my chest and hit the guardrail and the car tumbled down the embankment. When we finally stopped, I could feel blood trickling from my forehead, arm and leg. Then I heard Edward.
"Bella! Bella are you alright? Please, Please, say something!" By this time, my head was spinning and I was becoming dizzy. I felt faint.
"Bella!"
"Im sorry, I'm sorry. I tried, I really did." Then everything went black.
EPOV:
"Im sorry, I'm sorry. I tried, I really did." She said. She didn't say anymore. She was gone, for now. I could hear her heartbeat, faint, but she was still living. I cradled her in my arms, trying to wake her up. I went and found my cell phone and called Carlisle.
"Hello?"
"Carlisle! We got in a car crash and Bella and… Help!"
"It's okay Edward, were on our way, Alice saw it in her vision."
"How long will it take?"
"For us to get there? About 10 minutes."
"Hurry! I don't know what's going to happen."
"We're coming."
I snapped the phone shut. Bella's body lying limp in my arms. Her heartbeat was stronger, but then I heard a faint beating. Another heart, then I realized, that was really the first time I had ever noticed the heartbeat, of my future daughter. For the first time, I was so very glad for my vampiric hearing. It was tiny, not strong, fragile, weak, little. In that moment I was both overjoyed and deeply saddened. Bella was breathing and her heart was still beating, but she wasn't conscious and yet my child's heart was beating, that's all I could ask.
Carlisle arrived. He brought his bag and made sure she was okay. Esme looked at me with sympathetic eyes.
"Bella's fine" He breathed. "Get her into the car."
I sat with her in the back seat of Carlisle's car and set her head in my lap. I stroked her strawberry smelling hair. I traced her features. She was so beautiful, awake and unconscious.
Carlisle put his bag in the car.
"The driver of the truck is dead, I called highway patrol and told them to get ambulances here, and I told them I was taking care of you and Bella, so they won't take Bella to the hospital. Now we are all going to Pennsylvania together, Alice and the others will follow us later. Now we have to get the things out of the trunk of the car."
After we have collected everything of value out of the car, I hopped in the back seat and sat next to Bella and put her head in my lap again.
Esme turned around in her seat.
"I'm sorry Esme." I said solemnly.
"For what?"
"You asked me to take care of Bella, and I didn't."
"Oh, dear. She's still alive you know. The baby is still alive. You, in my book, did your job as a husband, and a father, you protected them with your life."
She had never spoken such strong words to me. Well, there was the one time I busted a hole in the wall, but never words of such great importance.
"Thanks…Mom."
She smiled slightly and turned around in her seat as Carlisle got into the car and headed toward Pennsylvania.
BPOV:
I woke up with a large migraine and a stomach ach. I couldn't recall what had happened or where we were or anything.
"Your awake," Edward breathed.
"Yes. Um, What happened?"
"You don't remember anything?"
"No."
"We were in a car accident, with an truck, but everything's okay."
"That would explain the migraine.."
"Do you want something."
I was then I realized I was in the back of the car.
"Yeah, um, who's driving?"
He chuckled. "Carlisle. Alice had a vision at the funeral. She and the others stayed behind to make it look in conspicuous. Esme came too."
I rotated my head toward the front, Esme smiled lovingly at me.
"Hello, dear." She spoke in a quiet voice, then handed me some aspirin.
"The sooner I have this baby, the better." I mumbled. I was referring to the fact that a few months after my pregnancy, I would be a vampire. Edward kissed the top of my head. I sighed.
"I think you're going to be a great mother." He whispered.
I tilted my head back and leaned up to kiss his cold hard lips.
I've noticed I am a sucker for minor tradgetys and romance
So, why do I hate Romeo and Juliet?
