BPOV (3 weeks later)

Why isn't this grossing me out? I was finishing my second blood bag of the morning. I had been drinking blood for the past week and a half and I was barely thinking about it anymore.

At first, I was horrified that the red liquid looked… tempting. I wasn't sure why Alice left me blood, I was actually starting to think that maybe it was there in case I lost too much blood giving birth; but did she think I'd be able to handle that myself?

***Flashback***

I spend twenty minutes staring at the first bag I took out of the fridge just contemplating the reasons the blood was alluring to my senses. It smelled… tasty. It still had the smell of salt and rust but it didn't turn my stomach as much. But it still looked like blood. I felt a nudge. Oh, this is what you need...? Do I have too? Another nudge. Okay, hint taken.

I poured it into a blue ceramic mug, large enough to hold an entire can of soup. But the baby didn't want soup. The baby didn't want any "human" food. In fact, the baby was pretty stubborn about that; anytime I even had one bite of human food, I threw up.

I thought about heating the blood up… but that just seemed way too weird. Does it really matter? Either way, I'm drinking blood. But… if it will help the baby…

I took one sip, if you can call it that, and then followed with a large gulp. It didn't taste bad, maybe a little salty. I held my nose, so I couldn't smell it and that seemed to really help. I drank the whole mug in ten minutes and felt my baby doing twists and flips in my stomach. "I think we need to learn to communicate better; we could have saved some time if I had known that all you wanted was blood."

***End Flashback***

I really didn't care about the smell anymore. It was like the baby was in charge of my senses, overpowering them so I could get him or her what he or she needed.

I had gained quite a belly in the past three weeks. I probably looked like I was in my eighth or ninth month. I knew the baby would be coming soon and I had a plan.

Unfortunately, I needed help with my plan. I was pretty confident that I could take care of myself but I wouldn't be able to take care of my little nudger during that time.

I had been going threw my options over the last two days.

Charlie and Renee weren't even on my list to be considered. I had been talking to them about every three or four days to keep them from becoming suspicious. But beyond my phone communication, I really couldn't contact them anymore, probably ever.

Jacob Black was a good kid but I didn't really know him too well. Plus, he would definitely get suspicious since he was fully aware of the legends concerning the Cullens. Whether he believed them or not probably wouldn't matter when he saw me drinking blood. He would probably just end up telling Billy, and then Charlie would know too. He wasn't an option.

My friends from Forks were human and needed to be left in the dark for their own safety. And it's not like Jessica Stanley can be trusted with a secret.

I could use the credit card that Alice gave me. I knew she would come back and help, she promised to. But…

I don't think I want her to know. She'd tell him. Even if she didn't want to, she couldn't keep it from him for long with his stupid power. No, there has to be someone else…

I started going through my cell phone menu.

Black, Billy – He's practically the chief of the tribe, not a choice.

Black, Jacob – I don't know him well enough.

Cheney, Ben – Definitely don't know him well enough.

Clearwater's – Charlie's friends, yeah right.

Crowley, Tyler – No way.

Dwyer, Phil – Nope.

Dwyer, Renee – Like I said, no.

Cullen Home – Well, I'm here already and I'm the only one here, so that's no help.

Forks Home – Charlie, that's a no.

Forks Police Station – Again, Charlie can't know.

Jacksonville Home – Mom, no.

Mallory, Lauren – Ha!

Newton, Mike – He'd never leave, I'd be stuck with him forever.

Stanley, Jess – The whole town would know before the baby was even out.

Swan, Charlie – No Charlie.

Weber, Angela - …

I didn't even get to the last name, Eric Yorkie. Angela is my only option.

She would never tell anyone. She could take care of my baby for a few days, she has siblings. But can I ask that of her?

I didn't have a whole lot of other options, in fact, she was it. I could at least ask.

***

Ring.

Ring.

Ring.

"Hello?" Angela's quiet voice was tentative; she probably didn't expect to hear from me.

"Angela, hey, it's Bella."

"Wow, hey Bella. How… are you?" This is going to be difficult, she's already suspicious.

"I'm… pretty okay. Um, I hate to call just to ask you something but… I need a favor."

"…"

"Angela?" Did I lose her? Or did she hang up on me?

"…I'm here. I just… I don't know how I can help you, you moved to Florida right?"

"Not exactly, I'm still in Forks, kinda." The Cullens' house was technically out of Forks' city limits. "Could you meet me somewhere?"

"Okay, where do you want to meet?" Thank god!

"Do you remember where the Cullens' lived?" She gasped; I guess that was worth a gasp. I was still a little stumped myself.

"Yeah. When do you want me to come?"

"The sooner the better. And Angela can you… not tell anyone. Especially Lauren and Jess." I guess I was just asking for favor after favor now.

"Sure, I wouldn't tell them anyways. I'll come by in about an hour, okay?"

"That's great, thanks Angela."

"Bye Bella."

"Bye."

***

I sat on the white couch waiting for Angela to come. I had taken off the plastic sheets awhile ago. I was wearing a pair of lime green drawstring pants and a large Arizona sweatshirt that hid my belly a bit with its baggy-ness.

I was so anxious; I just kept picturing Angela seeing my belly and running away screaming. Maybe she would have the reaction he was so sure that I should have had when I learned the truth about vampires. But I wasn't going to tell her anything about vampires. I didn't want to put her life in danger or fill her mind with fear. If I could have called anyone else, I would have. I didn't want-.

Knock – knock.

I felt the baby jump from the sound, just like me. Okay, now or never…

"Bella?" She seemed hesitant and maybe… curious. Oh, just wait…

"Come on in Angela."

She walked in and sat on the other side of the couch. She couldn't see me belly with the angle I was sitting at; plus I had a pillow on my lap.

"Bella, you still look a little sick, are you okay?"

"Actually, I'm a little more than sick, Angela. Please… please hear me out and… don't freak, okay?"

"Okay…" I stood up and she was already widening her eyes. I lifted up my sweatshirt so she could see my belly. She gasped once; I'm sure because she realized I was pregnant. Then she gasped again; I had a lot of bruises from the baby kicking and nudging me, she was probably concerned. The third gasp signaled that she was putting it all together. "… Bella, you're… you're… oh my…"

I sat back down covering my belly with my sweatshirt again. "Yeah, I'm pregnant."

"Wow, but I just saw you like three weeks ago… You didn't have that then!"

"Not the belly, no. But I was pregnant; I just didn't know it yet. Well, actually I figured it out that day but…" I was getting distracted and I needed to focus. "I know this is a lot, and I wouldn't have dragged you in this if I had anyone else, but I need your help."

"No one knows? Not even your dad?"

"No, I… I can't tell him."

"How are you this pregnant?"

"I can't really explain that to you. I'm not too clear on that myself. I think it's better if you don't know everything though. I didn't want to bring you into this world, but I don't have anyone else…"

"Is it… I mean… it's… it's his, right?"

Do I look like a girl who is going to sleep around? "Yeah, it's his." I started rubbing my belly; it had become habit that anytime I was thinking of him, I would start stroking my belly.

"Does he… does he know?" She seemed a little mad. She was probably accusing him of ditching when he found out.

"No, I didn't know until after he left."

"Wow." She was in shock, but at least she wasn't running. "What… what can I do?" Relief washed over my entire body as I relaxed at her question.

"Thank you Angela. I know I'm going to have this baby soon, real soon. And I'm going to be… going through some things for a few days. I can't take care of the baby during that time. I was hoping, that maybe, you could just watch him or her for a few days for me. I promise I wouldn't ask if I had any other options-" I was beginning to panic when Angela shook her head yes.

"Sure. I can do that."

"Thank you!" I leaned over to hug her. It was probably the first time I had ever hugged Angela but I didn't care. "You have no idea how much this means to me, how much this helps me."

"Its fine Bella, don't worry. I'll take care of- Is it a boy or girl?"

"I'm not sure. I can't really go to a doctor." We both laughed without humor for that comment. "Sometimes I think it's a girl but then I think it's a boy other times. I guess I'll find out soon enough, but it definitely has a LOT of personality."

"… Any ideas for names? I don't really wanna call it "baby" or "little one" for a few days if you got an alternative." She was taking it well, but I could see the panic in her eyes. She was probably processing the supernatural possibilities since I seemed to full-term after only three weeks. All her words were choppy, like her brain was on a time delay, but still she wasn't running away. She was trying to help.

"I'm not sure. I was thinking of Renesmee for a girl. It's a combination of my mother's name and his mother's name."

"That's really pretty. What about for a boy?"

"That, I'm having a bit of a hard time with. I'm split between naming him after his father or my father. I'm not sure. I just don't know if I can bear to call the name, Edward, for his entire life." Especially if my baby is going to live forever! I added in my head. I was having an easier time saying his name, especially if it was associated with the baby, but still. His name would always remind me of him.

"So, 'Charlie' or 'Edward'? They're both good names…"

"Yeah, they are… Maybe I can use them both, middle names or some- Ahhhh!" Oh my god! I felt tearing to a degree that rivaled vampire venom in my system.

"Bella?!"

A/N: THANK YOU to EVERYONE who has reviewed and favorited. I had over sixty alerts within twelve hours of posting Chapter Five. I was SUPER excited!

Also, FYI, I changed a few of the chapter titles because I wanted to name them after songs. Clearly, I have too much time on my hands. I put references on my profile in case you're interested.

Now, here are a few of the questions that I got asked that I will try to answer.

Why did Alice think to leave the Venom? Alice didn't know about the venom per say. She knew Bella needed the key to the cabinet but didn't know why. She saw what she needed, but not why she needed it. Hope that helps :)

Will I name Renesmee after Alice? That's a good idea, but I don't know.

In what chapter will the Cullen's meet Renesmee? I don't have an absolute answer but it should happen in about four or five chapters. I keep adding more content which delays the meeting, but I think the new stuff is worth it (at least I hope you see it that way)

How dumb are they to leave venom there with Bella? I wouldn't say dumb, just forgetful, ha-ha. Only Carlisle knows that it was kept there. He was also hoping that they would come back someday. Plus he didn't know Alice was giving Bella a key. What can I say, Alice is sneaky!

Will I continue the story? Yes!!!

Will Edward find out about Renesmee? Yes, but I won't say when… sorry I have to keep some things to myself.

Keep reading and reviewing, and asking questions if you want! I hope you like the new development! I had my doubts at first too, but once I wrote it, it just seemed perfect.
