It was a nervous wreck time, but I'm finally done :D

EMMETTS POV
I tightened my jaw, letting my teeth grind against one another, my teeth were beginning to hurt in the stress I was causing them.
My attempt of ignoring Bellas screams, was really weak to none.
I was so tempted to go back to her, to tell her everything would be okay.
But I would just be lying to her. The mutts had even gone as far as turning our electricity off.
Smart of them, because unlike them, we had to rely more on our sense of smell, then sight in the dark. Not that I was saying we were blind to the darkness, we just couldn't see as well as they did.
All I could really do now, is fight for her, for her and our baby.
Before, I would have looked forward to this fight, to be able to kill one of the mutts.
But now, I was not only scared for the baby, for Bella, for Esme, for Rosalie, but… even for me.
I'm not trying to say I was being a coward to fight, but I was scared of being ripped away from the woman and child, I have grown to deeply love.
I felt like I could cry, but I couldn't. Not because I couldn't shed tears, but because I couldn't allow the mutts to see this side of weakness.
Once I stepped out the house I was consumed by the darkness of the night, the dead silence was only interrupted by the screams of Bella.
An eerie and dangerous cold was blowing in the air.
I shuddered, not that I felt the chill, but at what was to come.
I was actually able to feel the hair on my body stand as far it could go.
Mixing in with a new feeling, a feeling of fear in the pit of my stomach, this new feeling was even making me feel sick.
I saw both Seth and Leah phased, and sitting on each side of the entrance.
They looked like guard dogs, but with elegance as their head was held up high.
As I ran past them, I turned to look at Seth, we both gave each other a nod.
It was my form of saying thank you, and goodbye to him.
And it was his form of saying your welcome and thank you as well.
He whined a little and bowed his head.
I ran to where Rosalie was now standing, she was turning around in circles.
Trying to make sure she could spot the mutts, in whichever side they could come out.
Her legs were exposed all the way to her hips on both sides, she had ripped her clothes upstairs earlier, I was sure this helped her move with ease.
Her hair was pulled high up in a ponytail, being held up with the same material her dress was.
I decided to take my shirt off, it was something I always did, when I would fight.
"I can smell them." Rosalie said.
We both had our backs to one another, both of us turning slowly, being each other's back eyes. I felt her shake a bit in a shudder.
"But I can't see them… I'm scared." She said softly.
"Me too." I said, not clearing out which part I was agreeing with.
I felt her hand wrap around my wrist, she squeezed it and rubbed her thumb up and down my wrist before letting go.
"Emmett I love you." Rosalie said.
I swallowed and nodded, not that she could see I, with her back to me.
"I love you too Rose." I said.
"Whatever happens Em, I will make sure nothing happens to the baby." She said.
I continued to look at the woods around us, both of us still turning slowly in a circle.
Only turning away from the woods, when we heard Esme.
I was able to make out when Esme mouthed "Thank you" to Seth and Leah, as she ran past them.
As she ran to us, I was able to see the fear on her face.
It's not that we had never fought before, its just we hadn't done so in a very long time, and even more out numbered.
Now that the three of us were together, this was it, we were the only ones who would have to fight them all.
I knew Leah and Seth wouldn't join in on the fight.
It would be wrong, and far more painful emotionally for them.
"Emmett… Rosalie… you two ready?" Esme asked us.
I swallowed. "Ready."
"Ready." Rosalie said.
All three of us continued our small circle, looking out to the woods around us.
"Is Bella okay." I asked Esme
"I hid her in th-" she began, but I sshed her.
"Ssh, they'll hear." I said
"It's not like they wouldn't be able to smell her you know?" Rosalie said to me.
I continued at the pace we were going, making a circle, our backs to one another.
"I know... not that I plan to let them find her." I said angrily.
I knew they were so close, I just didn't know why they were taking so long to come out.
I looked up at the sky, the stars out; was the only light we could see. The last time I cared to see the stars, was that night with Bella in Ireland.
The night I was more then sure the baby came to be.
I smiled and sighed as looking at the sky reminded of the lyrics of a song I had heard before:
'Take a look to the sky just before you die, it's the last time you will'… oh god, this can't be happening. I thought almost choking up.
I had split this whole family apart.
Esme grabbed my hand and squeezed it.
"It'll all be over soon son." She said.
"…. But how will it end?" I said quietly.
I turned away from the woods when I heard Seth and Leah growl.
Their head was low, close to the floorboards of our front steps. Their ears were pointing up, their tail held up high, canine teeth baring.
I knew this was their stance of warning before attack.
I sniffed the air, my eyes widened as I saw him come out into the clearing.

BELLAS POV
"EMMEEEEEEEEETT!!!" I said pounding on the door of… of… where ever the hell I was.
At the house of Cullen, you could find yourself in a room you never even knew was there.
I felt around, it felt small like a closet, but there was no clothes hanging anywhere.
They could at least have left me with a flashlight.
Not knowing what was going on outside, and left in the darkness was not helping me feel any better with the pain form my bruised stomach.
I started breathing heavily, as claustrophobia sneaked up like death.
I crawled on all four, I could feel the weight of the baby stretching my tender skin down more.
"Ow, ow, ow." I said sitting down and rubbing my stomach.
"There needs to be a way to get out of here." I said to myself.
I felt around the floor, trying to feel if I could find anything, but at the same time scared of what I might find.
I rested my hand on something, feeling it I pulled it towards me.
It was a duffel bag, touching the straps length and pattern, I was able to recognize it as mine.
Esme and Carlisle must have put it here, when they came back from the Island.
I quickly opened it, feeling around. I pulled out what I knew was my zip up hoodie, I put it on and continued to feel around the bag.
Quickly finding socks, I put them on. Seeing what else I could find, I ran my hand into a cylinder object… Charlie's can of pepper spray, he instead I carry.
I pulled it out and touched it in the dark, wondering if I would ever be able to give it back to him. Shaking my head I put it into my pocket, just in case.
I continued to look into my bag, when I felt the small pouch of little make up I wore.
Opening it, I found something I had forgot I packed, but now realized would come to use.
Pulling out the blade nail filler, I quickly went to the door.
Finding the knob, as I had a hard time in the dark seeing where to attempt to open it.
I felt a rumble in my stomach.
"Oh baby, I know your hungry, but hold on." I said to the darkness, as I continued to try and open the door.
I was able to open doors with ID's but I had never attempted with this object or even with type of door.
My stomach growled again. This time though, the baby decided to demand his hunger with a punch to my stomach.
"I know I know baby." I said. In my frustration I slammed my hand hard into the end of the nail filers handle.
"Ow." I said grabbing my hand, the force I had hit the nail filer hurt, but I must have hit it hard into the doors lock as well, because the door opened.
Only to expose me to more darkness, the only light I was able to see, was that coming from the outside, which was little to none.

EMMETT'S POV
As he continued to walk towards us, I fell down to my knees and began to sob, my face twisting in sadness, but with out the tears.
"Oh my." Esme said, but as I was looking down to the grass, I did not know if she was saying it to me or him.
Seth and his sister continued to growl.
I raised my hands to silence them and said it was okay.
As he came to where I was he rested his hand on my shoulder.
"You know?" he asked me.
I looked up at Edward and nodded. "That their coming?" I asked nodding.
He nodded before asking where Bella was.
"I hid her." Esme said. "Alice and Jasper?" she asked him.
"They went out hunting, I left them and came. I heard Jacobs plans. And I couldn't let you all fight alone… where Carlisle?" he asked.
"He's gone." I said to him, I was still on my knees.
"Gone?" Edward asked confused.
"He went to look for others to help us. Since we were out numbered." Rosalie said.
I continued to look up at Edward, hoping he would look at me, to see the pain I was in, to let him see how truly sorry I was for everything. But instead he looked over to the house.
"Why are they here?" he asked cautiously.
"Seth was kicked out his pack when he helped Bella escape unharmed. And Leah stood by her brother side." I said to him.
He finally looked at me, and squatted, so we could see eye to eye.
"Edward I'm so sorry." I said him, my voice breaking into another sob. "Let's talk this over."
"You know, a major part of me is thinking why should I care? Like I said before, you took away the one person it took me over a century to find." He said.
I looked away from him. But another part of me is just saying, let it be Edward. Just let it be." He said.
"Look guys I don't mean to break this whole thing up, but the mutts are on their way you know." Rosalie said.
"Rosalie!" Esme said. "Go check up on Bella."
"Ugh, fine." Rosalie said.
"I'm going to go take a closer look from a tree, maybe I'll be able to see something from up there." Esme said. I knew she wanted to give Edward and I some privacy.
Both Edward and I nodded. I was sure he had read her mind.

EDWARDS POV
"I'm going to go take a closer look from a tree, maybe I'll be able to see something from up there." Esme said.
"Edward, son, please listen to him. He really is sorry." I heard Esme think.
I nodded to her.
Both Emmett and I watched her climb up a tree near by quickly, up until she was at the very top.
I continued to squat, in this position and time, any human would be exhausted.
I looked at Emmett, who was still looking down in shame, I found it sad how a shirtless man his size, seemed in so much pain.
"Edward I'm sorry man." He said
"I just want to ask why? Why did you do it Emmett?" I asked him.
He looked up at the sky and shook his head. "I don't know man, it just happened."
I hit my leg hard. "No! things like fucking your brothers girlfriend, doesn't just happen." I said, he looked at me surprised at my reaction.
"I just… I…" Emmett continued to stutter.
I shook my head.
"When did it all start?" I asked him.
"What do you mean? Like when did I start digging her? Or when did I realize she digged me? Or when did I first fu-" but before he could finish the last part I stopped him.
"Uh uh uh. Please don't say that word. When did all of it happen." I said to him.
"Well I mean, I knew she started liking me since before the trip. Just before going to the Island, when Rosalie and I had got into an argument, and you two passed by as I kissed Rose, I saw this look on face. I can't explain it, but that's when I began to wonder if she did. When we were on the island… I almost wanted to kill her." He said
My head jerked back in shock. "What?" I said. Did he just say he wanted to kill her??
"She let me try some of the food she was eating, and when I did, I was able to taste her on it. After that I was like on frenzy for her. I mean don't think I just went for it, I tried bro, I really did. I tried keeping away the thoughts from her. But the more I saw that she actually might be into me to, the more I wanted to see what you saw in her." He said.
I could feel my boiling point rising, but I just took a deep breath and asked him to continue.
"And how did you two finally admit to one another, you… "dug" each other." I said, trying to use his vocabulary.
"Remember that day Rosalie went on a bitchade, when you found Bella and me deep in the jungle on the Island?" he asked.
I closed my eyes and sighed as I realized I had over looked thinking anything bad about that night.
"Yeah." I said finally opening them and slapping my knee. "Please don't tell me you two had intercourse that night. Because I did." I said to him. The thought of having been intimate with Bella just after Emmett did made me want to rip his head off right here.
"No no no man, but that's when it was all out in the open. I didn't have.. "Intercourse." With her until we got to Ireland." He said.
I closed my eyes and laughed. "Oh god, just hearing it hurts as bad as seeing it." I said.
"Seeing it?" he asked sickened.
"Alice." I said
He looked away. "Oh."
We stood quiet, just looked up at Esme, who was jumping from tree to tree.
"Why did you come back?" Emmett asked me.
"I'm only doing for you, what you would do for me. Although it hurts me to know Bella is yours now, and that you two are going to have child- which wow, I never thought could be physically possible. But in the end, you're my brother Emmett, and I love you just as much as I love Bella. Just… treat her good Emm, girls like her don't come easily. Believe me." I said to him
"Were you really going to go to Italy?" he asked me.
I nodded. "Yeah, I just wanted them to take me from this hell. But I knew it couldn't be right. I knew there was more that I had to live for, and when I heard Jacob's plan, I knew I had to come back and-"
"EMMETT! EDWARD!" We were both interrupted from our deep conversation.
I had gotten so into it, that I had forgotten about the mutts.
We both looked up to Esme, who was now quickly jumping down the tree.
"Watch out!" I heard someone think.
I turned to see the male wolf at the door, he was growling, his thoughts loudly warning Emmett and I to move out the way.
The other wolf, a female I hear, was pleading with her ex pack to retrieve.
She continued to repeat someone name… Sam?
When I turned back to the woods I only had the chance to feel Emmett's hand to my chest, as he pushed me to the ground.
Landing on the floor I saw a big brown wolf land hard on the spot Emmett and I had just been at. His teeth were big and sharp, much more dangerous looking then what I thought.
I knew who this was.
He growled at me then turned to Emmett.
"Jacob! Please!" I heard the female wolf at the door say to him.

BELLAS POV
"Baby please." I said crawling in the darkness, the baby once again was kicking angrily.
Just like before, it felt like there was a brawl going on inside of me.
The speed of the baby was amazing to even say.
"If you're a boy, then your going to be just like daddy. But if you're a girl, then good luck to boys who try dating you."
I said, chuckling a little, to ease my own pain.
With the adjustment of my eyes to the dark, I was able to vaguely see what was in front of me.
"EMMETT! EDWARD!" I heard a woman scream from outside.
"Oh no." I said, I knew that it had all started now.
My mind began to panic, I needed to be out there, I needed to try and stop this all.
I began crawling faster, trying to ignore the pain of my stomach.
Edward? Did she say Edward? Edward was back!? I thought.
As I got close to what I could see was the door, it opened wide open, the open side hitting me straight in the face. The impact of it was so hard, that I even heard the wall crack, as the doorknob hit into it.
"Uhhhh" I tried to say, as I felt pain shoot through my nose and mouth., my eyes bean to water.
I could smell blood beginning to pool out my nose, the taste of it coating my tongue.
Brining my hand to my mouth, as it felt like it was quickly swelling, I began feeling light headed from the smell of the blood.
I shook my head, to try and snap out of it, but pain shot through me. My jaw was broken.
"Theeeeere you are." Said Rosalie.
"Ro-Ro—Roslee" I couldn't speak properly, it hurt.
"It erts." I tried telling Rosalie that I was in pain.
I sighed loudly as the baby began kicking me again.
I felt drool coming out my mouth, I was sure it wasn't just drool coming out.
My head began to hurt, it hurt worse then when I had migraines from heavily studying.
I heard a loud noise, and the house shook a bit.
Rosalie squatted, coming down to eye level.
I couldn't see her to well in the dark.
"Do you hear that?" she asked me, referring to what was going outside.
"Ro-lee, it erts." I said grabbing the side of my face.
"Oh, did I do that?" She said petting my head. "I'm sorry." She said grabbing a hold of my hair. And pulling me along with her, dragging me.
"Roooo, Rooooo-lee." I tried saying her name. My hands were trying to grab at her wrist, trying to remove her hold from my hair.
The baby continued to beat me up from inside. I started to cry as the pain all over my body consumed me whole.
We finally stopped, she crouched down to me again, I could feel her face to close to mine, she still a hold of hair.
"Wa-i, Roe?" I tried asking her why she was doing this.
"Why? Because you little tramp-" she said shaking my head by the hair, I felt some of it rip out.
"Ah." I said in pain.
Rosalie continued. "-because I've never liked you. First you took Edward, you?! Why you, your ugly, he was meant for me all along. When I finally find someone for me, you take him too?"
She got close to me, and licked the side of my face.
"Mm, I haven't fed on a human in a long time." She said as she continued to lick the side of my face.
I started crying as I knew she was going to kill me, she had promised that nothing would happen to my baby, Emmett told me she did. If she hurt me, she'd hurt the baby.
"Bu- u- pra-missd" I tried, but I couldn't say it all, without me moaning in pain.
"I promised nothing would happen to the baby, and I'm keeping that promise. I didn't promise anything for you. After you go bye bye I'm taking the baby out. If it's as strong as us, it should heal fast, if not, I'll just convert the baby and it'll be all mine." She said.
"No." I said grabbing my stomach, as I continued to cry.
She got close to me again and continued to lick the blood on my face.
"Your pathetic." She said, before I felt her push me.
"Ah!" I screamed as my body began tumbling down what I knew were stairs.
As I rolled down the stairs I screamed as I felt my hip crack, I bit my tongue, my stomach hit against one of the steps, the baby began trashing around.
Landing on the bottom, I felt my leg crack, and a stab of pain as something sharp tore through my skin.
"AHHHHHH!" I screamed, I began sobbing and screaming in pain.
I reached down to my leg, and touched the part where I felt something tear.
I could clearly feel the bone form my leg sticking out.
Rosalie was coming down the stairs slowly, I could hear her coming down step by step.
"Oh Bella, you really should be more careful." She said laughing hysterically.
