I took off running, I followed Bella's scent which was mingled with Edward's and Bella's soft cries straight to my room. He had her pinned against the wall his mouth on her neck. Tears filled her eyes just before they fell shut.I grabbed him and threw him away from her and pulled her to me.. Alice stepped in, sadness covered her face.
"We are too late." She said looking at Bella,"The venom has spread too much. I'm sorry Jasper. It was a snap decision. I didn't see it until it was happening."I gently touched Bella's face as I lay her on the bed.
"The baby?" I asked her quietly. She shook her head.
"I don't know," She told me softly, "I can't see anything."
"Stay with her Alice," I told her. Then I called for Emmett. Who appeared in seconds."Where are Rose and Esme? Where were you?"
"Hunting and hunting. Edward said he needed to talk to Bella alone." He told me and looked at Bella, "Just got back. What's going on? Is she okay?"
"No shes not okay." I said coolly,"I came in here to find Edward pinning her against the wall, his mouth at her neck. We don't know what will happen now. I don't want you to let anyone in this room unless it is Alice, Carlisle or Esme." With that I left. I found Edward in the forest. I pinned him against the tree.
"What the hell were you thinking?" I growled lowly. "Did you think you would get away with that?"
"I couldn't let that thing be born!" He said angrily, "I couldn't let her soul be damned."
"I should kill you," I said angrily, "Too bad for you now. She's changing. That baby inside her? We don't know what will happen to it." I turned and ran back to the house and straight to Bella. I sat next to her on the bed. I gently touched her face as I sent her waves of calm and reassurance. I was worried. I couldn't help it. Carlisle stepped in the room.
"Emmett called." He told me, "Oh..." I closed my eyes tightly.
"Oh is right." I said lowly, "Edward did this in case you were wondering. He said he couldn't let that thing me born and he couldn't let her soul be damned." I gently ran a hand through her hair. He sighed.
"I don't know what to do." He told me quietly,"We will just have to see what happens. She will more than likely change but I don't about the baby." I closed my eyes tightly and just kept running my hand through her hair. Three days passed and not a word sounded from her lips. Her heart was still faintly beating and her skin was still soft, she skin tone was now lighter, her hair was darker and longer, I couldn't yet see her eyes because she was still sleeping, she was a little taller I assessed and a little more curvy and more beautiful than ever. She could rival Rosalie. Carlisle stepped in. He started the ultrasounds and sonograms.
"She's still pregnant," He told me, "Though she should have changed by now. Her skin is still soft. Subtle differences here and there, I think the venom is allowing her to accommodate for a baby. I don't know what kind of nutrients she will need..."
"What do you mean?" I asked him worriedly.
"I mean those of human needs or blood..." He said quietly, "From the looks of this she will be ready to have the baby in two weeks. This child is growing rapidly. I would really like to hook up some type of nutrition to her."
"Try human first." I told him quietly. He nodded and set to work.
"That would be best because this way i can just hook an IV up but if i had to give her blood...it would have to be through a feeding tube." He told me and I nodded.
Three more days had passed and Bella was in the same condition as before. Esme walked in and sat next to me.
"Son you need to hunt," She told me. I shook my head. "Jasper. Your eyes are black." I sighed, knowing she was right and jumped from the window into the backyard and I took off running. I caught a scent quickly, mountain lion, and followed it. I sunk my teeth in. I drained it and then buried it. Suddenly Alice was there beside me.
"Its happening Jasper," She told me, "Sooner than we thought. Bella is still out." I sped off running with Alice close behind. When we got there Carlisle was working over her.
"Jasper her skin has hardened. I can't cut her with a scalpel." he told me as soon as I walked in, "She is out cold so its not like she can push. Jasper the only option left is to use my teeth to rip her skin."
"Do it now. Carlisle," Alice told him. "Jasper will say yes and she will make it okay. They both will." I held my breath as he started. Bella's whimpers of pain were killing me. Five minutes later, I was holding a baby girl in my arms and Bella's heart was stopped beating. Carlisle had sealed her wounds with venom. I heard her groan. I moved over still holding our baby in my arms. I gently touched her face.
"Bella," I said softly. Everyone had gathered in the bedroom but Edward. I ran a hand through my hair. Bella's eyes blinked open and she sat up quickly. I gently grabbed her hand. I could tell everyone was being cautious, "Bella this is our daughter." Bella reached out and touched her gently.
