Sitting in the lecture hall listening to Mr. Miller talking about the myth of vampires and werewolves seemed so funny to me. It had been almost a year since m father freaked our family out. I still laugh about him lunging over everyone and gathering Elizabeth and me into his arms and taking off. Edward was pissed at him for over a month while the rest thought it was a good joke. I was glad though that Edward didn't resort to tearing Charlie apart because then I would have been mad. I enjoyed watching all of the looks from everyone as Edward kept trying to get my dad away from us. Luckily for Charlie his power was a force field shield every time Edward jumped or tried to get to us he'd hit the shield and fly back in the air.

Back to present time I was finally glad I was almost done with this class. I don't know why I took a college course on mythical creatures. Everything the teacher taught me was incorrect especially with the fact that I lived with said creatures. I was glad when he announced no final for the next week and for us to all have a great summer. Yeah finally it was summer break.

"So Bella what are yours and Edward's plan for the summer beside your little angel" Alice asked eyeing me up. I had almost had forgotten that I was expecting. Elizabeth was almost a year in a half, but looked like she was around four years old.

"Well you know the baby is due in a few weeks so Edward thinks with Elizabeth's power I would be okay to be changed shortly after the birth" I said watching her look into a classroom. She of course was waiting for Jasper to come out.

"I think you'll still be an amazing vampire, but to let you know this baby will come out a different way. So yeah you will have to be changed directly after it's birth" she whispered looking a little sad. I had heard from Edward about her previous vision of the child ripping me apart to get out. It had caused a little strain on our marriage causing me and Elizabeth to move in with Alice and Jasper. Edward was hard to be around lately especially with the birth so soon.

"Hey Bella you seem so distracted" Jasper said as he hugged me.

"Well aside from not seeing my husband in almost a week and still having to deal with being murdered by my child, just peachy" I said which caused him to smile. Since having a child with the gift of humanity Jasper had been a different person no longer worrying about keeping his control and he was able to turn on and off his emotion gift. It was so much easier and made him more enjoyable.

"Well I can see none of our teachers are giving any finals in their classes we can head to Forks tonight Edward left already with Emmett and Rosalie" Alice uttered seeming unsure about the plan. It was now four hours later we finally had everything ready for the plane ride. I wanted to drive but Alice insisted that we fly because the others had driven. She also wanted the chance to shop before we hit Forks. Why was I not surprised about the shopping. Alice could shop 24/7 no problem except now she did have to sleep for a few hours to stay alert. We had just landed and Alice had already jerked my arm from Jasper whispering something to him fast and took off to get the car which she said Esme had brought up for us. As we approached the long term parking I was glad not to see the Volvo instead it was Carlisle's Mercedes waiting for us. I quickly buckled in Elizabeth and got in while Alice helped Jasper and then they got in.

Five hours later and Alice had spent probably ten-thousand dollars on clothes for the whole family. I did buy a simple evening outfit to hopefully wear the night before I delivered to dinner with Edward. I was hoping being home would bring my husband back to me. I missed him dearly and hated that he felt torn between me and the little guy growing inside of me.

"Momma is daddy going to be at grandmas and grandpa's when we get there" Elizabeth asked looking at me while she ate some ice cream. I looked down at her and just gave her a smile. Edward had always been there for her, she didn't even know anyone else to be her dad. That's when it hit me if things went bad for us; it wasn't only me and Edward who would be hurt it was everyone involved. I wouldn't be able to handle life without him. After Elizabeth was done with her ice cream Alice decided it was time to go home.

The drive home seemed to be a long one. Jasper who was driving the normal speed limit was driving me crazy it was like they didn't want to get home yet. I just looked out the window as we drove through Forks at the snail pace that we were going. I noticed as we passed my dad's house Angela and Jessica hanging out front with Ben and Mike. It was nice to know that they were all still friends. I missed those carefree days of normal teenage life. Before long we were pulling up to the enormous Cullen house. I could see that of course Rosalie and Emmett were hanging out with Jacob and some other wolves in the front yard.

Elizabeth was eager to go see Rosalie because she hadn't seen her for quite a while. When Edward and I separated he went to their house while I went to Alice's and I wouldn't let Elizabeth out of my sight. It wasn't because I didn't trust them, but because the whole fight was childish and if he wanted to act up I wasn't going to subject an innocent child to the argument. I looked up to his window and noticed he was standing in it. Our eyes met for a moment and then he disappeared.

"Elizabeth wow you have grown since I last saw you" Rosalie exclaimed as my little girl ran off to her. I watched as she jumped into Rosalie's waiting arms.

"Say hello to everyone don't let your Aunt Rosalie hog you" Alice said as she handed me my purse from the car. I just stood beside her watching as Elizabeth danced to everyone. She looked back to me and then her eyes found something more interesting in the doorway of the house. No one stood a chance when she saw him, she took off like there was no tomorrow. He held out his arms and caught her up in his embrace. It was really a good father daughter moment. I walked over to the porch and reached for her.

"Come on Elizabeth we need to get cleaned up before you get any dirtier" I said as she reliantly moved from Edward's arms to my waiting ones. When his hands brushed up against mine the static electrical current I felt could have powered a whole city. I felt bad because that made me want to forget the problem at hand and just jump on him, but I held my ground and set out to do what I needed to do.

"Bella I could clean her up" he whispered as I passed by him.

"That's okay when I could have used your help you weren't there. I think I can handle cleaning up my daughter all alone" I said as I left him standing at the doorway. I didn't want to use his room so I went into Alice's and used it. It was odd not going into the room, but at the same time I felt proud that I was standing on my own. I was wiped out from the plane ride to the shopping to now that after I changed Elizabeth I laid her down on the bed and settled in beside her.

My dreams took me to happier times with Edward and our family. It was here that I felt safe and loved. A sharp pain brought me back to reality. The pain was getting stronger and hell it hurt even more. I opened my eyes to see that I was no longer on Alice's bed instead I was in Edward's room. Carlisle was busy working around me. Alice was in here as well, but not Edward. I wondered where he was.

"He's with Elizabeth. She's hysterical about the pain your in" Alice said. I looked over at her. She didn't look to happy more sad than anything.

"Alice I need him in here no matter what. I don't think I will make it through this ordeal and he needs to know I love him still" I gasped. Carlisle set to work trying to make it easier for me to breathe, but it wasn't working. He was lost on what he should do next. I was beginning to lose patience with Alice for not calling Edward.

"Edward" I screamed. I waited for a moment. I herd shuffling downstairs and voices carrying on then I heard Alice.

"Edward get up here before we lose her" she yelled. He stood in the doorway holding onto Elizabeth who was crying. I willed myself to hold up my arms calling them both to me. Then what he did next surprised me.

"Everyone get out. I don't want anyone in here" he said nervously.

"Edward that isn't a good idea she isn't going to make it" Alice spoke up. He paid her no attention and pushed her out after Carlisle. He then proceeded to lock the door and place his huge armoire in front of it, then moved to the windows and closed the metal shutters.

When he was done he moved back to me. His eyes held mine like there was no tomorrow. I felt the movement in my stomach. I knew it was close to time.

"Edward maybe if you bit me before the baby comes out it will help. Alice says after the baby is born it will be too late" I whispered with tears in my eyes. He just looked at me and nodded.

"I'll do anything to keep you beside me. These past few weeks have been hard for me. I knew I shouldn't have blamed the baby, but the thought that Elizabeth not hurting you to my baby hurting you tore me apart. I felt helpless knowing that I was the cause of all of this" he admitted to me.

"It was never about just us. Edward no matter what you and I have we have a family that we need to put first. I can't tell you how many times Elizabeth asked about you and I lied to her. It wasn't ever just us, it's always been about them" I said motioning to Elizabeth and then resting my hand on my stomach.

"Can you for give me" he whispered bending his head down into my hair.

"I can if you can forgive me" I said as I felt his lips force themselves on mine.

"You nothing to be forgiven for, it was my entire fault" he said as he gently placed kissed on my nose, cheek, eyes and then back to my lips. If this was only heaven I would stay here forever. It was this moment that the baby moved to enter into the world. I felt Edward bit my neck and then move on to my wrists then to my feet. I don't know what went on afterwards because I was out of it. The flames over powered my will to live and set me on fire.
