This chapter was writen in dedication to my friend who just lost her mother.
I'm floating in absolute nothingness, with white surrounding me, causing a surge of claustrophobia. There is a startling ding as a mailbox appears the type of ding when your computer receives an e-mail. An automated voice claims that I have mail. The door to the mailbox opens and I feel myself being pulled into it. Then, I am in my meadow, with clouds swirling above me. They swirl faster and faster until they descend in a vortex to the ground right in front of me. The puffs of cloud burst apart to reveal my mother. There is so much I want to ask her about what's going on, but she shushes me. She tells me she has not much time, but she wants me to know she knows I'm pregnant and have her blessing. She is ecstatic with the same little-girl look I remember from long ago. The vortex appears again and with one long sad look down upon me, she is pulled into the white cotton candy clouds once more; her words lingering in the air:
"I love you." They sound so final, I'm scared. I scream.
"Bella?! Bella!" I awoke in a sweat; the night mare had almost been too much. I snuggled up next to my Greek god and spilled what I had just seen. As I explained how I felt when my mother disappeared, he look as pained as I have ever seen him; I could almost see the non-existent tears forming in his eyes.
"Bella, love, this is going to be difficult, just don't do anything rash, for the baby's sake. Charlie got a call this morning; your mom had cancer in her liver. They didn't catch it soon enough, she died this morning," He was close to dry-sobbing now.
"NO!"
"Bella, sweet, don't scream. Sounds like your mom gave you a last good-bye. She loves us. Bella, don't be like this!" I was pounding the bed with my fists in a haze of anger. It just wasn't fair! She was so young! Then I saw Edward, just sitting there watching me trying to decide what to do. I smiled (much to his surprise) and said,
"Well, mom loved me and I love her and she wouldn't want me like this. Shall we go feed the two of us?" I laughed at his confused expression. He knew I knew he couldn't eat human food. Suddenly, the realization hit him that I meant the baby, and he chuckled with me.
"Very well, let's go." So off we went.
Sorry, I know this chapter was short! I'll try to update soon! (I have an excuse for not updating! I was on a church youth mission trip to Maton Illinos to fix houses for a week!)
