After this there will be like 2 more chapters, and a sequel! =D I can't leave the story were I left it, mwhaha.

Chapter 23 – Kitty on my side

I woke up groggily in Alec's arms. He sighed and kissed me as I shuffled away. I made sure to not cry.

Heidi had thought best not to disturb me and let me wash and dress by myself. I pulled on a long royal blue cotton dress and my cloak.

When I was ready, I turned to see Alec still sitting there. He was looking at his hands as if they were the most interesting thing in the world. He looked sad and depressed.

I walked towards him and tilted his chin up with my middle finger. "Are you okay Alec?" I whispered, kissing him lightly on the lips.

His hand wrapped into my hair as he pulled me closer and kissed me passionately. His other hand discovered the lengths of my cheekbones.

"I love you" he mumbled against my cheek.

"I love you too" I whispered.

His palm lowered and slowly grazed my stomach making my heart shatter. Wasn't it bad enough already, he didn't want the child and yet he seemed so compassionate about it.

He sighed. "Our night got caught short last night, and I had to ask you something. Meet me in the library in a hour?"

I nodded as he left, letting tears fall silently.

(1 hour later)

The library was in its usual state, clean and organized. I looked around until I saw Alec. He smiled at me before pulling us through the window/doors.

He slung me over his back and ran up the side of the tower.

I was dazed when we reached the top, we stood so far above ground. I could see everything, the sun rising, the birds flying, hell I could see the trees in the distance move.

The wind whipped my hair and I breathed in.

"Beautiful isn't it."

She nodded.

Alec P.O.V Whoop!

I couldn't do it, I was too nervous. I couldn't bring myself to say it, what if she said no?

What if she thought I was only asking because of the baby?

I had wanted so badly to propose the night of our dinner, but the news of my child had to unfold.

This would kill me, something that was part of Ashley, being taken before birth.

My child, Ashley's child. It would kill her to lose this child and I knew it. To say I wasn't remotely happy to be a father with my beautiful mate would be lie. But knowing that Bella living during childbirth was a miracle, it is rare for the mother to live and Ashley was weak and not to mention younger.

I sighed, I want her to be mine forever, I want to marry her, please her, make her happy, make her laugh, I even wanted to argue with her so long as she was my wife. My beautiful, childish, crazy, sarcastic brute of a wife.

"Ashley" I whispered wrapping my arms around her, she was to close to the edge for my liking.

She nuzzled her head into my chest as she turned. "Hmm"

I could do it, I'll ask her. I'll ask her to be mine, be my always.

"Wou-"

Ashley P.O.V

The strain in Alec's voice meant he wanted to say something important.

"Wou-" he started but was cut off in a growl.

"Don't!" I heard Heidi hiss.

"Oh shut it blondie!"

"Shut up Felix!

I turned to see Heidi, Jane, Felix and Demitri.

"Ashley, Alec. I don-"

Heidi cut Felix off. "They have to! Or. She. Will. Die!"

"Can't you see she wants this baby?!" Felix bit back.

Heidi groaned and leaned against Demitri. Demitri rested his cheek on her head.

"I agree with Heidi" Demitri said.

"Well I agree with Felix!" I screamed, they all looked taken back. I was even taken back, screaming at vampires, really Ashley?

"Ashley you could die" Alec whispered.

I shook my head, I couldn't care less, I wasn't killing my baby. I wouldn't give up our child. Never.

I walked to the edge to climb down but Alec beat me there and pulled me onto his back, the guys had successfully ruined the moment.

When we reached the bottom I pulled back from him.

I was not and will never give up this baby. If I die. I die. My baby will be alive and that is all that matters.

I could imagine a little girl, dark hair and blue eyes, bright smile. Smug smirk she inherited from her father. Bad humour she inherited from me. Short tempered, smart, beautiful and friendly.

My baby girl.

Mine and Alec's baby girl.

I will not give in. I will not lose my child to a bunch of paranoid vampires.

I know it's short but awk well! =P
