Chapter 2

B Pov-

On August 28th, I had Mackynzie Renee Swan, I put her last name as Swan because I was going to get a divorce and I wasn't going to have her anywhere near him because I knew that he would harm her. As a mother, it is my job to protect my children from danger. But the sad thing is, the only danger in her life is her father.

When I got home, Jacob wasn't there. I took Mackynzie up to her new room and layied her down in her crib. I went back down stairs and sat on the couch. I knew Jacob was going to be home soon and I didn't know what he was going to do.

He walked in the front door a couple minutes later and said, "So you're back, huh? Where's that stupid baby of yours?"

"She is upstairs asleep and she is not a stupid little baby, she is a sweet little angel", I said.

"What did I say before. DO NOT TALK BACK TO ME and since you're not pregnant anymore", he said and came over and punched me right in the stomach. He put his hands around my arms, which probiliy left a bruise on each arm, and stood me up. He threw me onto the floor and kicked me in the ribs. My blood was all over the floor and he walked out.

I was in so much pain but then I heard my baby crying and it took all my strength and will power to get up and go comfort her. She was probiliy awoken by Jacob's loud outburst. I walked up the stairs and went into her room. She looked hungry so I went down stairs and fixed her a bottle.

She stopped crying as soon as I picked her up. She was so sweet and she was mine. She had my chocolate brown eyes and mahogany brown hair. She had his lips and nose. Her little chubby cheeks were red and she still had a few tears in her eyes.

My little angel did not deserve to be around this. I decided that I had to leave. I called my best friend, Jessica, and asked her if Mackynzie and I could spend the night there. She said yes and I wrote a note to Jacob saying we wouldn't be home tonight.I put Mackynzie in the car and we drove off. On the way there, I was turning a corner and some truck came out of nowhere and hit me. I passed out immediately.

I don't know how long I had been out, but I woke up in the hospital. I turned over and Mackynzie and sleeping right next to me. Dr. Cullen walked in I few moments later and said, "You're awake."

"Is she okay and how long was I out", I asked. I don't know why I added on that last part, my only concern at the moment was that she was safe.

"You were out for about 3 days and she is perfectly fine. My wife came in every so often and took care of her."

"Oh, thank you so much. But, what happened to me?"

"Your left leg has been paralyzed", he said with a sorry look on his face. Paralyzed? What? This couldn't be happening. How would I take care of my daughter? But really the question was, where would we live?

"What… I… I… How am I going to take care of her?"

"Well, you are going to be in the hospital for about a week, so you can learn to walk on crutches or you can always use a wheel chair."

"I don't want a wheelchair. But, I have a major problem though."

"What is it?"

"We have nowhere to live", I said in a soft voice. I knew he couldn't do anything about it.

"Why not? Don't you have your husband?"

"Well, we aren't exactly talking to each other at the moment."

"Oh. That is a problem."

"I know you can't do anything about it and I don't want to put a burden on you. I just had to get it off my chest", I said and as soon as I said it, his wife walked in the door.

"Bella, this is my wife, Esme.", Dr. Cullen said.

"Hi, Bella honey. It is great to finally meet you. Oh and by the way, your daughter is an angel.", she said.

"Thank you so much for taking care of her and I hope it wasn't that much trouble. Oh and it is so good to meet you too.", I said.

"Nonsense! It was a pleasure taking care of her."

"Good. I don't want to", I said but I was interrupted by knocking at the door. Dr. Cullen went over and answered it.

"Edward, Alice, What are you doing here?"

"We just stopped by to bring you lunch," Edward said. He looked like a god. He turned to look at me and smiled. I smiled back and I nearly passed out but his sister, Alice, came running in and sat on the bed.

"Hi! I'm Alice! I just know we are going to be great friends!"

"Umm… Hi? I'm Bella and this is Mackynzie", I said as I picked Mackynzie up.

"She is so cute! May I hold her?"

"Sure, I guess? Be careful though, she has a little problem with her neck, so support it well", I said as I put Mackynzie in her arms.

"Alice, there is no need to come running in here like a maniac and bother this poor girl.", Esme scolded.

"It's no bother. I like having someone to talk to. You cacn stop by if you wanna Alice."

"Of course I want to, but I have to go, my sister and I are going shopping. Bye, I'll come by everyday!", she said, put Mackynzie back in my arms and left.

"Bella, if you need anything, just press that button and I'll be here", Dr. Cullen said.

"Thanks Dr. Cullen."

"Please, call me Carlisle. Esme, you and Edward need to go home and give Bella some time alone with her baby.", he said and him, Edward, and Esme exited the room. It was nice to have sometime alone with Mackynzie. She went to sleep shortly after 8 and I stayed up for a little longer, thinking about Edward.
