"So, do you have any names picked out or do we continue to call them baby boy and girl Swan?" I immediately wanted to correct her and tell her that they were called Masen, but kept my mouth shut.
I looked at Bella and silently asked her if she was ready to reveal the names of our two angels. She nodded before looking at the nurse.
"Yes we have names picked out," she said as she put her hand on the glass of the incubator that held our daughter.
"Our daughter's name is Arabella Alice Masen," she smiled down at Arabella. She looked at me and nodded for me to reveal the name of our son.
"Our son's name is Riley Anthoney Masen," I said happily as I placed my hand on his incubator.
Chapter 30 Part 1
BPOV
It had been five weeks since Edward surprised me at the hospital and we had told everyone the twins names. Alice had nearly cried when I told her we had called our daughter Arabella Alice after her, and had chosen her and Jasper as her godparents. We also named Rose and Emmett as Riley's godparents.
Edward had wanted nothing more than to be with us, he had hated going back to Hollywood Community Hospital. We tried to transfer the babies there, but they didn't have the equipment for premature babies and he couldn't transfer to Mount Carmel Hospital as it was a private maternity hospital.
One week later I was discharged from the hospital, but I refuse to be far from Arabella and Riley. So, instead of going back to Emmett, Jasper or Esme's home; I moved in with Elizabeth and Ed Sr, two blocks from Mount Carmel Hospital.
I continued to divide my time between Edward and our Children. When I was with Edward, I made sure that either Elizabeth or Esme were with the babies.
Edward was healing nicely, but hated doing physiotherapy. He was a real whiner when it came down to it; but once I reminded him our son and daughter would need a fit father he stopped and did his excercises without complaint.
We hadn't heard anything from either Marcus or Aro, but what we did know was that they were in the middle of auditions for Edward's replacement and the fans were not happy about it.
I was sitting next to Edward in his hospital room when the door opened and in walked Tyler Crowley, his physical therapy specialist.
"Good afternoon Edward, are you ready to try and walk a little today," he asked.
"Will you stay with me," Edward asked, looking at me. I nodded as he turned back to Tyler.
"Ok, lets get going," he chuckled.
Tyler came to his side with the wheelchair and helped him get settled before rolling him down to physiotherapy.
Once we were there Edward moved his feet off the rest plates, placing them flat on the ground. Tyler placed a walker in front of him before assisting him out of the wheel chair to stand on his two feet. I could see his knees shake at first, but he remained calm and focused on balancing his weight. He exhaled a deep breath before moving his right foot forward, followed shortly after by his left.
I stayed quiet as he walked with the aid of the walker, I could see in his eyes that he was scared to death of falling.
"Perfect, Edward," Tyler encouraged him. "Why don't you try to let go."
He looked at Tyler and shook his head, his fingers wrapped around the plastic bars tightly.
"I'm nervous to let go, I might fall," he said quietly
"You won't," Tyler said, placing his hand on the walker.
"I won't let you," I said, coming up behind him and wrapping my arm around his waist. He looked at me and nodded.
"Bella, just hold onto Edward's hips lightly as he continues to walk. I don't want you to support him, but I do want him to know that if he feels weak or fears that he is going to fall that you will be there to stop it," Tyler said to me before looking over at Edward.
"I know you can walk, Edward. I think your fear is worse than the reality of your ability," he said confidently. Edward took a deep breath before taking one shaky step forward, my arm wrapped securely around his waist.
*~AA~*
It had been a week since Edward made his first steps towards recovery. I couldn't help but smile at the thought of how well he was doing as I walked the two blocks to the hospital to see Arabella and Riley.
The doctors had been telling me how well they were coming along, both of them were past the four pound mark and should be out of the NICU anyday now.
As I continued to walk when I heard footsteps sound behind me. Suddenly, someone put their hand over my mouth and pulled me into a empty alley. I struggled to escape, but the person was too strong. I had definately picked a bad time to dodge Quil and Embry, but in my defence they were annoying as shit.
"You know what to do, so just fucking do it," a femaile voice said nearby. I tried to scream and get away, but everything was starting to feel dizzy before everything faded away to darkness.
*~AA~*
I struggled to open my eyes, but they felt so heavy. Once I managed to open them, I found myself in a strange room; definitely not containing my bed, walls, or even my window. I tried to move, but found myself chained to a head board. It's was a long chain and I could easily get to the window, but it was boarded up.
Where was I? What the fuck was going on?
I struggled to free myself from my chains but found it of no use. Whom ever had done this to me had done their homework, there was no way I could escape.
Suddenly, I heard footsteps and the rattling of keys as my captors unlocked the door. The first thing I thought when I saw the silhouette was fuck the person was huge. The individual stood at least 6ft 4 ins and was even bigger then Emmett. When they came into view, I immediately recognised him.
Jacob fucking Black!
He walked over and kneeled down next to me on the bed. He gave me the creeps, the way that he looked over my body.
"Good, your awake! Did you miss me baby," he asked, running his middle finger from my cheek all the way down to my collar bone. I pulled against my chains, trying to stop him from touching me. But it was of no use. I was bound too tightly.
"You're so beautiful! I can see now why Eddie boy wanted to keep you all to himself. But now that he is finished with you, you are all mine," he sneered.
He had bent down to kiss me when I hauked and spat the gathered flem in his face.
"You fucking bitch," he screamed as his hand connected with my cheek. He proceeded to wipe my spit off his face with the sleeve of his shirt and made his way to the door, but not before getting one last word in.
"You will learn your place soon enough, your place is now with me. This will be the last time you will deny me," he spat out before leaving. As soon as I heard the key turn in the lock, I started to cry into the dirty mattress, praying for Edward to find me.
EPOV
I was lying on my bed, my eyes closed and my leg elevated, when I heard my door open. I knew that Bella planned to be with the twins for a few hours, so I assumed my visitor was either my parents or my bodyguards.
Imagine my surprise when I felt someone stroking my hair with their long, nasty fingernails. The feeling was unfamiliar and unwelcome, so I opened my eyes to see who my unwelcome visitor. Imagine my surprise when I found myself face to face with nurse slutty Swanson, her nurses uniform and all.
After what had happened at Mount Carmel Hospital, my mother spoke with her supervisor and had her fired on the spot. She was banned from the hospital and was told to stay away from both Bella and I.
I grabbed hold of her wrist and pushed her away from me as I stared into her eyes with a deadly glare.
"What..The..Fuck! You are supposed to stay away from me. I don't know how you got past my security, but rest assured, I will have you arrested," I spat, reaching for the remote to call a nurse.
She grabbed the remote out of my hand and stepped away, laughing in a way that chilled me to the bone.
"Oh Eddie, Eddie, Eddie! I wouldn't do that if I were you. Not if you want to at least have your son in your life," she laughed.
My heart started thumping erratically and I felt like I was going to vomit. The bitch was in league with Emily, I just knew it.
"What the fuck are you saying bitch," I spat with all the strength I could muster, but all she did was continue to laugh.
"Now that your little whore is out of the way we will raise our son and Emily and Jake raises the little girl. It is the only way to ensure his survival," she smiled sweetly.
She leaned in to kiss my cheek and I was too stunned to push her away.
"Why don't you think about it baby. I will be back to check on you later," she said, walking to the door only to stop before she opened it.
"By the way, don't even think about contacting the police. If you do your son won't live to see tomorrow," she smirked as she opened the door.
As soon as the door opened, I saw the shadow of Seth and Sam and my senses came back to me.
"Sam, Seth, grab her and bring her back in here," I yelled before she could get away. She tried to escape but my friends were too fast and strong for her.
As soon as they came in with her struggling between them, I unleashed my anger on her.
"What the fuck did you fucking mean when you said I would be raising my son with you and Emily would be raising my daughter with Jake? How do you even fucking know Emily and Jake," I snapped.
She continued to struggle between Seth and Sam and it hit me like a bolt of lightning.
"You're helping them aren't you? You are trying to get to me through my children, aren't you," I spat, my voice filled with venom.
She refused to say a word and my temper got the best of me.
"ANSWER..ME..YOU..WHORE!"
She looked up at me with a look of disgust.
"What do you see in that mousy little bitch? I am so much better for you than she is. You don't need her anymore, now that you have me. She is only a slut who got knocked up to trick you into a relationship," she sneered.
I looked over at Sam and Seth, both of them were trying to keep their calm as I pressed the emergency button that contacted the police. It was something that had been put in for my safety when Carmen Platt made the first attempt on my life.
"Fine, you bitch. Don't talk. The police are on their way and they will get some fucking answers out of you," I spat. I thought she would give in and speak, but she stayed silent until the door opened and in walked Officer Wright and Officer Simmons.
"Hello Mr Masen, I am happy to see that you are doing well. What seems to be the problem," Officer Simmons asked, looking from me to the slut who was still trying to escape Sam and Seth.
I quickly went over the details of what had happened before the slut finally spoke up.
"You have just signed your son's and the bitch's death warrant, you bastard. The only reason Emily was willing to let him live was because she knew I wanted both you and the baby. It was supposed to be so easy, she told me that you were a man-whore and all I had to do was seduce you. That everything would be alright and that you would leave her, but you couldn't even do that,"she yelled.
"Now there is no way she will allow him live! As for the mousy bitch you care for so much, she will be dead once Jacob has had his turn with her," she spat.
It was as if someone was squeezing the life out of me and I struggled to breathe with each word that came out of her mouth. I barely noticed the officer's slapping the handcuffs on her as Sam rang someone on his cell phone. He looked at Seth and shook his head, I knew immediately what it meant. It meant that they couldn't get through to Bella and that she was indeed missing.
I felt myself start shaking before everything went black.
*~AA~*
I could hear voices, but I was scared to open my eyes. Was it true? Was Bella, the love of my life and the mother of my children actually missing? I didn't want to open my eyes to find out.
"Come on Edward, open your eyes," Sam asked.
"The police are here to ask you a few questions," Seth said.
I finally opened my eyes and found Sam, Seth and two police officers standing over me.
"Good afternoon Mr Masen! My name is Sergeant Taylor and this is my partner, Sergeant Banner. We are in charge of the disappearance of Isabella Swan," he said, offering his hand for me to take. which I refused and looked straight into his eyes, anger washing over me.
"If you are in charge, what the fuck are you doing here? As you can see, I am in no shape to be hiding her so I ask you again! What the fuck are you doing to find my girlfriend," I spat.
Officer Taylor looked taken aback by my tone but he quickly masked it.
"Mr Masen, we have people out looking for her as we speak. Officers Simmons and Wright are currently questioning a Miss Sophie Samson about her where abouts. At the moment she is not talking, but we understand that she has said some things to you about the abduction of Miss Swan," he said calmly.
I thought back to before I lost consciousness and remembered exactly what she had said. I quickly told them what she said, she was helping crazy Emily, that she was planning to remove Bella and raise my son with me. I told them everything that she had said to me and suddenly, I knew that I couldn't stay there any longer.
"Sam, I need you to get the doctor in charge in here pronto. I need to be discharged from this god forsaken hospital," I demanded calmly, but fiercely, as I sat up on the bed.
"Edward, calm down," Seth said as Sam left the room.
"Fuck that shit! I have to be with my children until their mother comes back. There is no way that I am leaving them alone with that psychopath on the loose," I yelled.
"Mr Masen, we have extra guards with your children while they are at Mount Carmel Hospital. They won't be left alone for a second," Sergeant Banner said.
Just then the door opened to admit Dr Mitchell and Tyler with Sam.
"Edward, I must ask you to relax," said Dr Mitchell. But there was no way I could relax.
"Doctor, I would like to be discharged. I appreciate all that you have done for me but I need to leave," I explained. Dr Mitchell looked at Tyler, who nodded in his direction.
"Edward, Sam told me everything that has just happened. If we discharge you, then we must release you into the care of someone, such as your mother, and you must attend all your physiotherapy sessions on an out patient basis at least three times a week. You must also continue to use the wheelchair until you are steady on your feet," he said.
I agreed to those conditions as Seth moved to the corner of the room to contact my mother.
She wasn't long answering and Seth put her on loud speaker. The police must have contacted her about Bella and she was a right mess. She was too scared to leave the twins and I didn't blame her. She said that she would send my dad to take me straight to the hospital before hanging up the phone.
I knew that my children were my first priority, but there was something else that I needed to do first.
"Officer! Would it be possible for me to ask nurse Swanson a few questions? She might talk to me," I asked firmly.
Sergeant Taylor looked at Sergeant Banner before stepping outside to use his cell phone.
"We will see what we can do Mr Masen. Sergeant Tayor has just stepped out to see if he can clear it with our Captain," Sergeant Banner explained.
I nodded as Tyler helped to get me settled into a wheelchair. I was still shaky on my feet, even with a walking cast on. I could see that he was worried my being discharged too early, but my mind was made up.
A few minutes later, Sergeant Taylor walked back into the room with my father in tow.
"Ok Mr Masen! Our Captain has agreed, but there will be rules. Number one, if you feel like you are going to lose your temper at any time you must leave the interagation room immediately. Number two, you must not force her in anyway to talk, you can ask your questions and you will be satisfied with the answers she gives. If that is agreeable with you then your father can accompany you down to the station," he said.
I wasn't happy with those conditions, but agreed to them, non the less. Anything to try and find out where the sick bitch had taken my Bella.
Dr Mitchell handed me my discharge papers along with a prescription for painkillers as my dad rolled me out of the hospital; Sam, Seth and the two officers by my side.
I was pleased to notice that the paparazzi were no where in sight, at least the disappearance of Bella hadn't reached them yet.
The Officer's got into their unmarked police car as Sam and Seth helped get me settled in the front seat of dad's Toyota Tundra.
As he was driving along, I realised that he didn't know where we were going as he wouldn't allow Sergeant Banner and Taylor's car out of sight.
After driving for ten minutes we finally pulled up to the Beverly Hills precinct. It was a huge grey building with cruisers everywhere you looked.
I waited impatiently as Sam retrieved my wheelchair from the truck. I hated being completely helpless, that along with not being able to do much about Bella's disappearance, was making me very upset and angry.
After what felt like forever, Seth finally helped get settled me into my wheelchair so that my father could roll me into the police station.
As we all entered the waiting room, it was of no surprise to find Esme already there with Alice, Alec and Jasper. As if sensing my presence, Alice turned around to find me sitting there in my wheelchair. Quick as a flash she was in my lap, hugging me hard.
"Oh Edward. I can't...Why...Bella wouldn't hurt a fly," Alice sobbed into my shoulder.
I wrapped a comforting arm around her as the tears fell from my eyes. It hit me like a flash of lightning that I had been the one to bring all this chaos into Bella's life. If it wasn't for me, if she never met me, my beautiful girl would still be back home in Forks. She would still be going to highschool and would be a normal teenager. But of course, I was a selfish bastard and took what I wanted, inviting her into my fucked up life.
"I'm sorry Ali, I am so sorry," I sobbed. I didn't even notice any one standing around watching us until a middle aged man in a Captain's uniform walked into the waiting room and made his presence known.
"Mr Masen, I am Captain Dakota. I am sorry for keeping you waiting so long," he said, offering his hand. I couldn't take it due to the fact that Alice was still wrapped around me. Jasper, sensing the predicament I was in, lifted Alice from my lap and wrapped her in his arms as I shook the Captain's hand.
"Nice to meet you. I wish that it was under different circumstances," I said emotionally.
"Of course, Mr Masen. I understand that you wish to speak with Sophie Swanson. I trust Sergeant Banner and Taylor have gone over the conditions with you," he asked.
I nodded before he continued talking.
"Good, then if you would like to follow me I will take you to her," he said as he walked through a set of double doors. My father came up behind me and pushed my wheelchair after him. We finally came to a stop outside conference room B.
"Mr Masen, I must remind you that you will be watched at all times through a two way mirror. Just call us when you want us to take her away, if we see you getting out of control at anytime we will have to interfer. Someone will bring her to you shortly," he said before walking into the next room.
My dad rolled me into the conference room and made sure that I was settled.
"Would you like me to stay with you son," he asked.
I shook my head, not trusting myself to speak. He nodded in understanding before exiting the room. I waited as patiently as possible until the door opened and Sergeant Banner walked in with the slut. Her face lit up at the sight of me and I immediately felt sick.
He quickly sat her down opposite me, ensuring her handcuffs remained on, before exiting the room. She looked at me with a sickening smile and I couldn't help but vomit a little in my mouth.
"Eddie! Thank you for coming for me. I am sorry you have to see me like this but I will make it up to you," she purred seductively.
Fuck! Was this bitch delusional or what? It took everything I had to keep my temper at bay.
"Look, I'm not going to play a game of cat and mouse with you. I am going to ask you one question and I expect an answer. Where is Bella." I snapped.
She suddenly went from seductive to determined.
"Why would you want her when I am here for the taking? She is nothing but a plain, fu-gly, mousy little girl. She wouldn't know how to please a man like you. I am here and I can be all you want," she answered.
I raked my hand through my hair and pulled hard as I took a couple of deep breaths so that I would remain calm.
"Listen, Bella is my love and I could never love another. I am sorry, but that is the truth. Please, I'm begging you, have a heart! I need her and there are two newborn babies who need their mother. Can you really look yourself in the mirror and like the person that is looking back knowing that you were responsible for tearing a mother away from her children," I asked desperately.
The bitch now wouldn't even look me in the eye, finding the ground fascinating. I realised that this was getting us nowhere, but I decided to give it one more go.
"Please! How would you feel if you were torn away from your mother when you where only four weeks old? What would you do to the person who was responsible for the fact that your mother was no longer in your life," I asked.
Still she continued to say nothing, so I gave up and shouted at the person behind the window to take her away. Almost immedately Sergeant Banner walked in and removed her from the room. As soon as the door closed I broke down and buried my head in my hands, crying like I had never cried before. I barely registered my father coming in to help me get settled back into my wheelchair until he knelt down by my side.
"They will find her son. I promise you, they will find her," he said.
I lifted my face up and looked at him. There was one place I needed to be right now and he knew where it was.
"Ok Son, let's get out of here and go see my grandbabies," he smiled weakly. I nodded before he wheeled me out of the conference room. We were almost out the door when we heard Captain Dakota call after us.
"Mr Masen!"
My dad stopped in his tracks as we waited for the Captain to catch up with us. We were mere inch's apart before he started talking.
"Thank you for saying what you did! It worked! She is willing to talk to us and tell us everything she knows, but only if you are in the room to hear it," he said.
With those words I felt something that I hadn't felt since I had found out that Bella had disappeared.
Hope.
