The world of Twilight belongs to Stephanie Meyer. I like to play in it. In this story, I wondered what would have happened if Bella was worried enough about Carlisle and Edward's attempt to save her by aborting the baby that she felt compelled to flee the household to save her unborn child. Who would have helped her? How about a homeless girl in Seattle and the youngest member of the wolf pack?

This story takes place during Breaking Dawn, and occurs after the honeymoon, as Edward and Bella return home early from Isle Esme after they learn she is pregnant.

Chapter 6 – Near miss with Jasper

(Bree's POV)

This poor girl. I've been with her for days now, and there is something going on besides a pregnancy. I've seen pregnant girls before, but no one ever had a stomach push out that fast.

Why wouldn't she stay in a shelter or be examined? I don't know if I believe any part of her story. Except for the part where she is scared. Well I know scared, and I'm going to stay with her. She has people she calls and texts. I'm going to check out that phone the next time she takes a nap. I heard her talking to a doctor, he sounded nice and very concerned. And I really would like to know who that nurse was she called.

It doesn't take long before she is sleeping again, so I gently take her phone from out her hand and take it to the roof for better reception. I start to scroll down the list of recently dialed numbers. It can't hurt to dial one, just to see who answers.

As I hit re-dial on the third number back, I suddenly get the feeling that I'm being watched. I've learned to take these feelings seriously on the street, so I scan the area. As I glance down into the parking lot, I notice a man with blond hair who is looking up at me. I gasp in horror, though, when just as Bella's phone finishes redialing that number, he takes a ringing phone out of his pocket.

I run back to the elevator, fortunately it is hasn't left the roof. Impossibly, as the door slides closed, the blond man appears outside of the elevator door. How could this be, he was in the parking lot seconds ago! I push the button for the surgery suite floor and race out of the back of the elevator. I enter the outer rooms waiting rooms, as there are always patients and heavy traffic in that area. That way, if he catches up, at least I won't be alone with him. I get to the next bank of elevators without meeting him and run to the sub-basement.

I race to the utility room and drag Bella out of bed.

"Come on," I whisper frantically, "We have to go now. Your family has found us."

"What? How? Wait, don't talk, they'll hear us, no matter how quiet we are," she says.

After seeing the speed with which the blond man appeared on the roof, I can believe anything.

We move as quickly as possible to the loading dock. There is a worker loading linen carts onto a truck. We slide onto the truck quietly, and he pulls the gated back door closed without seeing us. We take a seat on the floor, and as the truck's motor rumbles to a start, we head off to our unknown destination.

"What happened," she finally asks.

I tell her briefly about the phone, and the superhuman speed of the blond man. When I tell her how I lost him when I went through the surgery suite, she smiles quickly, and then suppresses it.

"Ok, spill," I finally demand. "Who, or rather what, is after you? That stomach of yours is growing way too fast, and that man, or whatever he was, moved way too fast. Are those guys ninjas or something?"

"Later," she says. "Let's see where we're going. We don't know but that they may be outside the truck."

Now that thought sent chills up and down my back, I can tell you. So we spend the rest of the ride in silence.

Finally after about thirty minutes, the truck stops. The driver opens the gate and ses us. "What the…" is his insightful remark, as I slide out and helped Bella down to the ground behind me. As we walk away, he is dialing his phone.

I don't know where we are, but I hail a cab. Just then Bella's phone rings. For the first time, she answers it, after reviewing the number.

"Seth," she says…

Author's Note – yep, now Seth is now in the story. Seth became one of my favorite Twilight characters during Breaking Dawn, he seemed so natural and likeable. I think he would do just fine watching over Bella. Maybe a little independent for his age, but he's always wanted to show the pack he's not a kid, so here's his chance to protect a human. Sam's probably gonna kick his butt for this little stunt, though.

And what do you think of little Bree losing Jasper in the surgery suites? She ran there because of the crowds, but can you guess what the smell of all that blood did to poor Jasper's tracking ability? Tee-hee, I just couldn't resist! Otherwise she would never have made it to the basement, and gotten Bella onto that loading dock without him finding them. I love you Jasper, but I couldn't let you catch Bella this way. Not yet, anyway.
