So….surprise, twofer! Well I got a few reviews on the last chapter telling me to go with my gut, and I need to stay true to myself in order to bring you the best story possible. I can however, promise to wrap it up. So maybe instead of 30 chapters we'll have 25 and a epi.

BPOV

"We're going to have to induce labor," the doctor said as he looked at the ultrasound images in front of him, "the baby's fine, but we're worried about your wife."

Edward's eyebrows furrowed as he tried to take in what the doctor was telling us. My heart fluttered at the idea of having our little boy already. He would be almost a month early.

"I don't understand," Edward said, crossing his arms in front of his chest, "what's wrong with her?"

"Her stab wound hit her upper intestines, it's something we can fix, but not while the baby is in there. The anesthesiologist is on her way now." the doctor explained as he closed my chart and left the room abruptly.

Edward paced back and forth, and I wondered what was happening in that head of his.

"Stupid doctors," he muttered, "they think everything is just cut and dry! It isn't time for my son to be born. And my wife could be at risk for…for God knows what!"

I stared at him as the words left his mouth. Wife? As if he heard my thoughts Edward's eyes shot up to meet mine, his cheeks turning a slight red as he made no attempt to correct himself or explain his slip.

He continued to pace the room, muttering so low I couldn't make out the words. I watched him until I began to feel dizzy when Alice walked into the room.

"Edward," she said, grabbing his arm causing him to stand still for a moment. I shot Alice a thankful look as she continued, "let's go get some coffee. The doctor said it may be half an hour before the anesthesiologist gets here, we can kill some time."

A small wave of relief shot through me as I watched the two leave the room. I wanted Edward there, but with everything else we had been through I couldn't help but feel overwhelmed with all the emotions Edward was emitting.

I closed my eyes, trying to find a comfortable position despite all the wires hooked to my body and the crappy mattress. I listened to the sound of the door opening and closing, and wondered how Alice and Edward had moved so quickly. When there were no other sounds, my eyes shot open.

Renee stood before me a sick grin on her face as Misty stood next to her. Both were dressed up. From their outfits it seemed that Renee was playing the anesthesiologist while Misty was supposed to be her helping nurse. Panic flooded my body, as Renee moved towards me.

"Isabella, baby. I was so worried about you," she said, fake concern coating her tone.

When I didn't respond she moved closer.

"Misty here was so worried about you. She thought that moron Chris had hurt you. I was more worried about that precious angel though, I must admit," she rasped her hand reaching out to caress my stomach.

I wanted to yell at her when the door suddenly opened and the doctor stepped back in.

"Oh," he said obviously surprised, "you got her fast. Will you please sedate her properly? We need to get the child as soon as possible."

"Of course doctor," she said as she moved me to turn over. I wanted to tell him that she was an imposter, but could tell by his eyes that he was one of hers. A paid off servant to the evil of my world.

"Turn over now," both of them coaxed, and I knew by their faces there was no use trying to fight them.

Misty tried to give me an encouraging smile but I could see the pity she held in her eyes as I felt the needle at the bottom of my spine.

"Now this will only hurt a little," Renee cooed, and I hoped that she had some idea of what she was doing.

The doctor walked to the door, turning the lock as Renee smiled sickly at me.

"Don't worry, this will all be over soon," she said as the doctor began washing his hands in preparation for my birth.

"Ar…are you going to induce my labor?" I stammered stupidly.

"No dear. I'm afraid we don't have time to wait for you to dilate. We're going to have to remove him cesarean." The doctor told me, and I wondered why he was trying to keep up the polite charade.

The epidural began to set in, but before I was fully numb I felt a blinding pain as Renee began to carve into me.

"You really shouldn't do that, she's not ready yet. You could hurt the child," the doctor said sounding panicked, and I wondered then if maybe he wasn't a paid croonie.

"Oh shut up, or I'll kill your little girl too. Just watch the damn door," she snapped.

My heart fluttered as I cried out in pain.

"Stop it," Misty's voice piped up as Renee and I looked at her in surprise.

"Please, don't hurt her," she pleaded.

Renee shot her a warning glance, shutting her up quickly. I tried to smile at her to thank her for the attempt when another flash of pain hit me.

"Bella," a voice said suddenly as I heard pounding on the door, "what's going on in there?! Let me in!"

"Edward!" I screamed, not knowing what else to do.

"Open the fucking door!" he yelled as I heard his fists pound harder against the wood.

Renee rolled her eyes as she continued her work, the pain continuing through my body. The doctor stood by the door, his face a sickly white.

"I can't do this," he said as he made a move for the handle, Renee turned to reprimand him when he passed out on the floor.

"Doctor," she laughed as she shook her head.

"No, stop!" Misty said, her voice full of determination this time.

"You are going to kill her. She's losing to much blood." she tried.

"Like I care, as long as the little fuck's alright," she said turning back to me.

"NO!" she shouted, lunging herself on top of Renee as the two began to struggle.

"Bella get out!" she yelled at me, as I looked around wondering how the hell she expected me to do that with my legs half numb and a gaping hole in my stomach.

Gripping the railing of the bed I hoisted myself to my feet, and pushed off lurching towards the door, my iv ripping from my skin. My hand caught it as I quickly unlocked the door before slipping to the ground.

"Oh my God, Bella!" Edward shouted as he opened the door finding me in my own blood.

"Edward, just get me out of here. NOW!" I yelled at him, urgency filling my voice.

Cradling me like a child Edward carried me to Alice's car as she jumped in the drivers seat.

"Take us to our house Alice! Hurry, and call Carlisle!" he commanded as he continued to cradle me in the backseat.

"I'm sorry," I told him as he smoothed my hair away from my forehead.

"For what?" he asked me.

"Ruining everything." I stated simply, feeling more and more lightheaded.

"You didn't ruin anything," he said as he looked me over.

"Can't I keep you safe anywhere?" he asked exasperated, obviously more upset with himself then anything else.

"You're bleeding so bad. I have to let you go, so I can take off my shirt. I need to apply pressure to that or something." I nodded as I watched him strip off his shirt.

He held it against my stomach gingerly, but by that time the epidural had completely kicked in.

"Is Rose going to be okay?" I asked, trying to make conversation.

"Physically, yes. Mentally…I don't know that she'll ever be the same," he said as he looked to the front seat at Alice.

"This is all my fault," I said, tears threatening to fall.

"No, it's not. You ended up in a fucked up situation, but it is not your fault. Calm down Bella. Please. You can't overexert yourself."

"Ok," I said, caving easily. I was feeling too tired to fight.

"Edward," I asked, "will you tell me a story?"

He looked around nervously as he thought for a second.

"What kind of story?"

"It doesn't matter," I told him, "about anything."

He took a deep breath as he looked down at me. Just when I thought he was going to ignore my request his voice broke the silence.

"When I was six I used to follow Emmett everywhere. Anywhere he was, I wanted to be. Well he and his friends decided to go hiking around in the hills behind our house one day. Of course I trailed along. About 15 minutes into our hike I got lost. I was so scared I started crying. I didn't even try to find my way home, I just sat down on the ground and cried."

"I don't know how long I was there, but next thing I knew Emmett was running towards me. Man he was so mad. He made fun of me in front of all of his friends and told me he was taking me home right that second. His friends stayed to keep hiking, and when Emmett and I were finally alone he said, 'Don't ever scare me like that again. I can't protect you if I don't know where you are.'."

Edwards voice cracked, and I thought his story was over before he added, "and then he told me, 'Besides, mom would kill me if something happened to you.'."

I heard Alice sniffle in the front seat as I watched a few tears escape Edward's eyes.

"I wish it had been me instead," I said quietly, snapping Edward back into reality.

Darkness clouded his eyes as he looked down at me for the longest time.

"No. Don't you ever think that. Emmett died for you to protect you…because that's who he was. A protector. He wanted you to live."

My voice stuck in my throat as I avoided Edward's eyes. We continued the ride in silence and I wondered how long this would be.

As the distance was put between me and my last captor I felt my eyes began to flutter with sleep.

"No Bella. Don't sleep. I need you to stay awake for me. You're losing too much blood." Edward said, concern laced in his voice.

"But I'm so tired," I told him, my eyes still trying to close as if they had a mind of their own.

"Bella, stay with me," I could hear him say frantically, but I couldn't pull myself from the darkness that was engulfing me.

"I'm sorry Edward…Edward?" I asked him, but all I heard was mumbling and I wondered if what I was saying was even understandable.

"Edward? Name him Emmett….name our baby Emmett," I requested before the darkness completely seeped into my thoughts.

EPOV

"Name our baby Emmett," Bella kept repeating until her voice was no longer understandable.

"Bella, hold on baby. We're pulling into the driveway now, please just hold on. If you can hear me, please you can make it."

Alice threw the car into park as she shot out of her seat, calling for Carlisle as she ripped my door open.

"Bella, come on. Wake up honey." Alice tried, slapping her face a little.

"CARLISLE!" I bellowed, as he raced down the stairs, "What do I do now? She's out."

"We need to get her blood, and we need to get your son out now." he commanded as he hurried us into the house.

-----------------

I wanted to help, but Carlisle forced me to wait outside. Something about me being too worked up to be able to be an actual help. So now I was pacing in front of the door. No sounds came from the room except for a few murmured voices here and there.

Esme and Jasper were still at the hospital, and I called them to let them know what happened. They told me that Renee had been arrested and Misty was going to testify to anything Bella said. I felt a sigh of relief and couldn't wait to tell Bella.

I felt as though I had been pacing outside of this room for an eternity when the door finally opened.

"Meet your son," Carlisle said, as he handed me the most precious child I had ever seen.

He had dark hair covering his head, obviously a trait from his mother, and his tiny eyes looked up at me in confusion. Each finger and toe were tiny with perfection and I kissed each one, noting how even the sound of his cry sounded Angelic.

"How's Bella?" I asked quickly as I beamed up at Carlisle.

"Edward, she lost a lot of blood…I'm afraid she's fallen into a coma," he said, as I blinked in shock.

"How long will she be in the coma?" I asked, hoping he would say a few hours, maybe.

"Days, weeks. It's hard to say." He said resting his hand on my shoulder in comfort.

I sighed as I stared down into my child's face. So new to the world and already he was in danger of losing his mother.

"Mommy's going to be okay," I reassured him as I kissed his tiny head.

"What are you going to name him?" Alice asked, curious to see if I was going to follow Bella's wish.

"Emmett. Emmett Tyler Cullen."

------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------

Okay so Bella's in a coma. I promised you a happy ending so it's going to be a….fluffy coma? Yes she wakes up. Let's not panic. Shouldn't we just rejoice, the bad guys are taken care of, baby is safe, and I still have happy surprises to come! So I guess it won't all be AS angst as I allured too. I mean it won't be all happy because Bella will be "napping" but….damn I just need to shut up. You'll see.
