Ok so it's finally about to really pick up! I feel like usually I don't lead up to the main plot gradually enough and this time it feels like I've taken too long….. Oh well something to work on. So here is the next chapter oh and also a few chapters back someone corrected me on the spelling of "Sephora" but I can't find the email….. So I know it's incorrect but I don't know how to correctly correct it. But if that same person would like to correct me again I would be more than willing to fix it! So without further ado I don't own Twilight and point out any historical errors you see!

Over the next few days, I did quite a bit of monitoring. I monitored the relationship between Edward and Bella- well the parts that I could. They were really good about sneaking around together unnoticed. I hadn't forgotten that I had promised myself long ago to always protect her as if she was my little sister. Bella was so fragile, she needed protection, but then again maybe she has Edward for that now.

I monitored Alice before, after and in-between when we went to collect the clothes. Right before she seemed excited and after she seemed ecstatic- color returned to her cheeks for a few precious hours. But in-between she wasn't nearly as happy. Which was completely understandable.

Then I monitored Rosalie. Out of the corner of my eye of course. But I watched her to make sure her bruise faded and the scar healed. She would catch me looking and would give a short nod and then-so quick I could have imagined it- a tiny wink.

I watched the three most important girls in my life tirelessly.

It was about a month after Edward and I had first gotten together that we had a conversation that gave me something to think about, and brought me back to the reality of where we were.

We were in our normal spot. Hidden, never daring to speak above a whisper.

"Bella?" he asked me quietly.

"Hmmm?" I asked snuggling my face into his chest.

"Have you ever- no never mind." he stopped himself mid-sentence.

"No what is it?" I asked sitting up slightly to look at him.

"Have you ever considered how bizarre this relationship is?" he asked.

"Yes, of course I have." I whispered. "But, I don't care."

"Are you sure that's wise Bella?" he asked quietly.

"Yes." I said stubbornly. He smiled brilliantly.

"Even though you know the risks?" he continued his face growing graver.

"Yes." I breathed.

"And still-"

"Yes. Still." I said defiantly.

"You are a fighter that's for sure." he murmured but fondly. I shivered involuntarily- it was getting cold. "Do you want to go inside?" he asked.

"No, I want to be with you." I answered automatically.

"Well my bunkhouse in vacant at the moment. All the others are on guard duty tonight." he said smiling.

"Couldn't you get into trouble for that? If they catch us?" I whispered suddenly afraid for him.

"Bella, sweetheart." he said patiently. "They would kill me on the spot if they found me anywhere with you." he pointed out. Guilt flooded me immediately- I had never thought that our relationship could hurt him.

"Come on." he said at last pulling me up quietly. "It's much warmer in there."

That I couldn't argue on. So we snuck in through the quaint front door that was so out of place and into a white looking room. He pulled me over to the bed I assumed to be his and sat down pulling me into his lap with him. He laid back and I went with him- his arms still around me. My white shirt- now not so white anymore came up a little in all this movement- just over my ribs.

Edward stared at my ribs and hip bones- both so frighteningly prominent now. They were feeding us enough to get by, but not much more.

He looked at my eyes as he gently traced the bones with his fingertips. He leaned down and kissed each of my ribs "Bella." he whispered and I realized he wasn't addressing me but rather relishing in saying my name. It gave me a tingling feeling throughout my entire body. I wanted nothing more than for him to touch me like this.

He pulled back and took a hold of the hem of my shirt- to pull it back down most likely. But then he met my eyes, as if another idea occurring to him one that enthralled and terrified him. The idea hit me at the same time. His eyes held the question- and I knew for a fact that he would do nothing if I said no. But I didn't want to. I realized right then and there how completely in love with him I was. That I didn't care that we were on "different sides". I didn't care that it was wrong. I didn't care that it was impossible. I just wanted to be with Edward forever. I nodded my head a fraction. But my eyes held the answer as well. He slowly lowered his lips onto mine, and gently, lovingly worked the shirt the rest of the way up.

I lay there with Bella in my arms; she was smiling up at me. I was in my own ecstatic bubble. I was with the girl I loved most in the world and had just had a beautiful experience. Then (as it so unfortunately often does) reality crashed back into me.

"What time is it?" I whispered.

"Twelve-thirty." she answered reading off a clock behind me.

"Oh damn it!" I cursed. "Bella they'll get back at one! Hurry get dressed!" she was up in a flash, pulling her clothes back on as I did mine. She checked her appearance in the mirror to make sure she wasn't too disheveled. Then I hurried her back to the barracks.

Then ran back to the bunkhouse to straighten up before the others could arrive. I managed to just in time.

Bella slipped in especially late that night. I smiled at her in the dark and then curled up against the cold. She wrapped her arms around me and we huddled together. It was a little warmer this way and secretly reminded me of camping together when we were younger. Our parents would take us all together to a state park for the weekend. That night I dreamt of that time that must have been forever ago. The days spent canoeing, hiking and endless jokes. The nights filled with campfires, stars and secrets.

For a second when I woke up I thought that we were back in those times. But when I looked at Bella I realized that there was no canoeing here, only a day full of work. And the smoke I saw when I stepped outside the barracks was burning something much more sinister than the fires of our childhood.

Edward seemed strangely happy for the next few weeks. I assumed it had something to do with Bella. But I knew my warning would fall on deaf ears so I said nothing. Meanwhile I was for some bizarre reason could think of no one but Emmett. The way he had gently taken care of me- despite what I was. It was amazing to me.

He saw me looking too, I could tell. He would look back sometimes- holding my gaze for a few moments and then we would both turn away. I met him alone once more when I was going to make sure everyone was in their barracks. He was sitting in the doorway looking up at the sky. When he saw me, he jumped to his feet immediately.

"Oh I'm sorry I'll go in now." he said quickly.

"No, no stay where you are, it's fine." I insisted quietly. Though I knew it could be dangerous if anyone saw. When he didn't sit down, I sat down instead looking pointedly up at him until he followed suit.

He was sneaking looks at me from the corner of his eye.

We didn't say anything. We just sat there for a while watching the stars above us. Until finally he stood up and then extended a hand to me, I took it and in one easy movement, I was on my feet. I smiled at him and he didn't release my hand. He looked in my eyes for a moment and then slowly kissed my hand gently and went back into the barracks never uttering a word.

I woke up one morning feeling terrible. My stomach felt terrible and it wasn't the usual hollowness. I jumped to my feet and threw up inside the small bucket they left in the corner.

That was strange- for me to throw up, I usually didn't have enough food in me for that. I wiped my mouth off wishing I had some water to rinse out my mouth but knowing that wasn't a possibility at the moment. I sat down on the cold floor with my head in between my knees. Dawn was just breaking and the wakeup call had yet to be sounded.

I just sat there anyway and joined the crowds when they eventually did wake up.

Edward was watching me from across the yard his normal smile in place I returned it but didn't look at him but rather straight ahead so it wouldn't be too obvious. I was sick the next morning too. Edward came in this time.

He then took me to the water pump under the pretense of making me carry some in for him. He made me drink a few cups. And then we went inside the house. Playing our parts perfectly. I looked down trodden and he looked superior. Rose was the only one inside so we could drop the act. I set down the bucket for lack of a better use for it.

Rose frowned at us.

"What's wrong Bella?" she asked me kindly.

"Nothing just been throwing up lately." I said with a shrug. She seemed to get another meaning out of this than I did. She looked at me for a long moment. And then moved to stand beside me. She looked at me more closely.

"Edward… did you two….." she trailed off suggestively. To my surprise Edward blushed.

"Yes." he whispered. "I know it was stupid and reckless and-"

"More reckless than you know." Rose whispered her eyes bulging. "Edward do you realize what would happen if-" she stopped wincing. "If she got pregnant."

"They'll kill us both." he whispered.

"No she'll be worse than dead." Rose whispered urgently "She'll be in the Angel of Death's hands.". That saying…. An attractive doctor came to mind. With rumors nasty rumors along with it. A doctor who liked experiments. On twins, and pregnant women. My hands flew involuntarily to my stomach. But at that moment I wasn't worried about my safety or even Edward's but rather the safety of the baby.

Bella was very subdued during work. She was almost back to the way she was when I had first arrived. But rather than straight depression it seemed to be anxiety and fear this time. She seemed to be thinking and I occasionally caught her holding her stomach.

Then I remembered that she had been sick the past few days. Maybe that was why she was feeling worse. To get sick was death here. Because if they thought for a second you would stop being of use to them because you couldn't work, you'd be going up in the chimneys before you knew it.

I tried to comfort her the best I could before I was taken off with Emmett again to the undressing room. Jasper came to help us as usual. He seemed a bit happier today. When I asked why he replied that he had heard talk of rebellion. My eyes grew wide in fear. I looked around as if expecting hidden Nazis to emerge and kill us both on the spot.

"Jasper please don't say that!" I said my voice sounded breathy and panicked.

"But Alice this could be our chance!" he said sounding earnest. I just shook my head.

"But what if you get hurt? What if they kill you or torture you or-"

"Alice I'll do what I have to, to get out of this hell."

"But if you die-" but he silenced me with a tight sudden embrace.

"I'm doing this for you as much as for me." he whispered. We talked of it no more but it still seemed to be in his mind. A small victorious smile never left his face. It looked like an expression of death to me. But maybe that was just because I knew what it could lead to.

He kissed my cheek again when we left. I held his hand and looked at him pointedly.

"Stay safe." I told him seriously. He just smiled his insane smile and agreed. I repress the urge to throw something and headed up the stairs.

I was watched closely over the next few weeks. It had been nearly two months since that night in the house. I wasn't feeling any better either. And the November chill didn't help at all. One night Rose cornered me and demanded to know how I was feeling. I told her that I was sore and hungry- even though I threw up still- and that my cycle had stopped. But then I pointed out that that could have been from hunger. I also stressed that these were seeming to be normal symptoms of everyone in the camp.

"Bella we need to know now." Rosalie said intensely. My hand went to my stomach protectively.

"How?" I asked desperately.

"There's a fair variety of prisoners here Bella. You never know what they did before they came here." she said and then in walked little Sephora. Looking as terrified as ever. "She was training to be a nurse." Rose explained gently.

Edward entered behind her and came and held my hand while Sephora examined me for a few agonizing minutes. When she stopped she stood there staring at the ground it was as good as a death sentencing.

"Well?" Rose demanded anyway.

"I'm sorry." Sefora whispered quietly, she looked up at me sadly. "But the baby will be beautiful."

So there you go! Please make my day and review! You guys have been great and I'll get the next chapter out soon! - wild-lili
