Chapter 24

EPOV

We had been on the island for a couple of weeks now and everyone had seemed to have forgotten all about what was going on between us and the wolves. Bella was looking happier and healthier with her new diet of meat and blood, she was glowing. She and Jacob event managed to patch things up.

Everyone was just so happy.

I was standing watching the sunrise from my bedroom window; it was nice to not have to hide what we were here. My attention was then drawn to the beautiful angel in my bed. She turned and stretched her arms looking for me.

"Edward come back to bed." I heard her murmur I smiled as I did as I was told and climbed back into bed with Bella. I kissed her neck as she snuggled into me.

I watched as she slept for a couple more hours. How the hell did I get so lucky? I never thought that I would find someone as beautiful as Bella.

"Edward turn the light, is too early to be awake." She whined as she buried her face deeper into my chest. I laughed as I stroked her hair, twirling a lose strand around my fingers. After a couple of quiet moments I felt a soft rhythmic patter against my stomach, this coursed me to giggle.

"Bella, time to get up someone is hungry." I said placing butterfly kisses over her face and neck.

She straightened herself out as best she could, as she had gotten bigger in the handful of weeks we had been here. "Arg your kid is killing my back." She said after she managed to work herself into a sitting position.

I got off the bed and walked round to her and offered her my hand. I lead her out of the bedroom and into the kitchen where we were greeted by my mother, Emmett and Seth.

"Emmett why do you look so very guilty?" Bella asked as she took a seat next to Seth. Esme placed full English in front of Bella along with a tumbler full of blood. Anyone else would have found it utterly disturbingly gross.

"Last night I broke one of the windows and our bed last night, now I'm grounded." He said like a 3 year old.

"There is more Emmett, has Rose told you off as well?" I said trying not to choke on my laughter.

"She has, so I aint getting no sexy time with wife and I have to stay here with Seth and Bella while you all go hunting today." He said feeling sorry for himself. I patted him on the shoulder.

"I can't see why Rose would want children especially since she has you." Bella said half way through her breakfast. Emmett looked at her with such a dirty look it made us all howl with laughter.

"Know, know no fighting or will I have to grounded you as well Edward?" Esme said while she was washing up. "No mother I will behave myself. What time our we all leaving?" I asked Esme.

"Well I think everyone is waiting for us now, so we had better get moving." She said turning to face us all. I saw Bella's face fall when she took on board the conversation.

"You are leaving me with this buffoon. You leave me with him I will go into labor." She said with shock rewritten all over her face. I kissed her lightly on the lips, and then kissed her bump before I could burst into hysterics.

"Don't worry angel nothing will happen, plus Emmett has been to medical school twice so he does know what to do." I said trying to appease my brother a little.

"Yeh that is right Bells so if baby C wants to come today Uncle Emmett will have everything under control, plus I have my magical assistant to help." He said putting his arm round Seth's shoulders. The poor boy looked like he was going to pass out.

"Don't worry; we will back before you know it, plus Jacob and Leah should be back this evening." I told her trying to make her feel better but she was still tense. But she nodded her head before pulling me into a long heated kiss. "I'll be back as soon as possible don't you worry." This made her smile, god damn temptress she is.

"Good know go I can see Alice is about to spontaneously combust." She said giving me a little shove towards the door.

BPOV

After everyone had left me and the guys but Emmett started to get bored of sitting round the house watching me and waiting for something to happened and it started to rub me the wrong way.

"Bells would you mind if we went out for a while I am so bored Rose won't give me back my computer games." Emmett said I looked at him knowing that he would not be able to sit still for much longer, plus I could see that Seth was starting to get cabin fever as well.

"Well I don't know guys I really don't want to be here on my own."

"Don't you worry Bella nothing is going to happen you don't look anywhere near ready to pop yet." I had no way of coming back from that comment as Emmett and Seth had both legged it, I think they went off exploring in the forest probably gone to find Jacob, Leah and Luna who had gone camping a couple of days ago. So I was left in the house on my own and in my gut I knew that something was going to go wrong. But I pushed it to the back of mine as I sat down to watch one of the many horror movies that I had collected over the years. I picked out 'Nightmare on Elm Street' as it got about 20 minutes, a small pain started to radiate from the small of my back.

"Come on baby give mamma a break." I said to my bump. I smiled when the pain disappeared; I turned be attention back to the movie.

By the time I was on to my 3rd movie the pain had returned. I made my way to the kitchen to make myself a cup of herbal tea and a hot water bottle. Returning to the living room for the next movie I made myself comfortable against the water bottle.

"Baby girl, mamma needs you to know that if you are coming very soon that you can't be stubborn like your mamma and papa." I said as I massaged my lower back. She kicked back with a lot of force. "Wow little one, not so hard. I am glad that you understand." I told her. The pain started to grow worse and I started to freak out a little. The cramp like pain that I was now feeling told me one that my little girl wanted out and soon. Biting down on my lip I breathed through the pain while at the same time rubbing circles into my lower stomach to try and ease away some of the pain.

I knew that if they left me alone I would get into some sort of trouble. Did my family and husband not know me at all?

Carlisle had been getting me ready for when the time came to give birth, as I had no idea what to expect. And I was terrified. There was no way I could get in touch with him. I knew that there was nothing I could do but stay calm, so I pulled myself up off the sofa and into the bathroom where I stripped off down to my bra and step into the shower, turning the water on as high as it would go so that it filled the bathroom with steam.

I sat on the tiled floor and made myself as comfortable as possible. The pain was getting worse as I sat under the hot water.

After sitting there for half an hour the pain was coming fast and strong, as I positioned myself on my hands and knees to remove the discomfort, I felt a gush of cooler water down my legs. This made me panic as I knew Lilith was on her way.

I placed my hand on my stomach, and then moved down between my legs to see if I can tell how long I would be in labor for. But it was no good. My next contraction hit and I was overcome with the powerful feeling to push, I fought through it as I tried to calm my breathing down and calm myself down. This helped me a little.

The pain shot through my body was so intense. It made me scream out in pain making me fall forward.

"Edward Cullen when I get my hands on you I am going to tear you a new one." I screamed at the top of my lungs as the pain started to subside.

The next contraction started and my instincts cut in and I pushed with all that was in me. "Edward Cullen you are a complete and utter basted and you are never touching me again." Screaming again. Then biting down on my tongue drawing blood.

I concentrated on conserving all my energy in staying up on my shaking arms as pain raged through my body and I pushed to save my life. After what seemed like forever I placed my hand back against my bump then between my legs I could feel Lilith's head. I pushed several more times keeping my hand between my legs I got a hold of Lilith so that she did not just land on the hard tilde floor; I gave her a tiny pull to help her.

"Please let this be over soon." I prayed as tears streamed down my face. I knew that one more big push would be all that I needed to help my little girl. The last contraction was the worst and the hardest to fight through. "Little girl please be ok." I said as I felt her tiny body fall against my hand and arm.

She cried loudly as I placed her on the shower floor, I needed something that could cut the cord the closet thing was a pair of nail scissors next to the sink. But I did not have the energy to get up. I cleaned Lilith off up the shower keeping her close to the floor were the water was cooler. Then I placed her against my chest.

I stood up as slowly as I could cradling my new born close to my chest. Holding out on to the railing I made my way across the bathroom and picking up the small nail scissors that sat next to the sink. I sat on the lid of the toilet and carefully sliced through her cord. Blood trailed behind but I was too tired to care.

"Lilith my darling, we need to wrap you up so you don't get ill, then mamma need to sleep." I told the beautiful angel in my arms. I picked up a soft fluffy towel and wrapped it round her. Then myself, then I slowly forced my aching body to move towards the bedroom.

Lying down on the king size bed I piled pillows up around myself and Lilith. "My little angel mamma will feed you then we need to sleep." I told her as I placed her besides all the pillows. I slipped off my sopping wet bra and pulled her back towards my chest, she feed greedily with her eyes shut and her tiny hand placed firmly against my naked flesh. My eyes drifted shut as I listened to the wave crash against the shore.
