Chapter Three -
I'd been driving for miles on end, I didn't know how far I'd gotten before I saw I had fifteen missed calls from Charlie. He obviously ignored the part about not worrying about me. Typical.
I sighed to myself, and lowered my hand to my stomach again, feeling another light kick.
"You're not normal, are you?" I said toward the bump, "You're not human."
I saw a sign that read 'MONTANA - 3 MILES' I let out another sigh. There was no going back now. I decided I needed to rest, so I parked up on the side of the road, and opened my case, immediately seeing the photos I'd packed - the top one was of Edward. I picked it up,
"God, I wish I knew where you were." I chuckled humorlessly, looking at the photo. "I need you right now, this baby needs you." My hand still on my stomach.
I closed up my case, and set off again. The last three miles. I drove into a small town when I saw it was getting dark. I parked up when I saw a rental home sign. I walked in, my hand falling to my stomach again.
"Hello Ma'am, can I help you?" The man asked.
"Yes, I was wondering if you have any homes left, it's only a temporary thing." I explained, he nodded and checked on his computer.
"You're in luck, we had a last minute cancellation." He smiled.
"Great, how much is it for a few weeks?" I asked, fumbling through the bag to find the money I had saved for emergencies.
"A few weeks would come to a total of..." He typed on the computer again, "$600."
"Okay, that's no problem." I handed him the money.
"Here's your key, you're in cabin ten." He told me, I smiled and turned away. "Runaway?"
I turned to him again, "Excuse me?"
"You're a runaway, right? I mean, you only look young." He said, gesturing my stomach.
My hand dropped to it again, "Oh, right. Yes I am." I said.
"I'm sorry for the circumstances." He said, before I turned around and left for my truck.
It was quite easy to find cabin ten, a small cosy thing tucked between some trees - reminded me of another house I used to know. After parking up, I carried my case inside, astounded at the size of the interior of the cabin. It had a small fire with two couches, and a kitchen opposite to it. It was lovely. Homely. I went into the bedroom, unpacked my things, including the food, and slid my case under the bed. I stocked the fridge with the food, finally giving in to the craving of ice cream I'd had since I set off.
I sat on the middle couch with the ice cream, spying four picture frames on the fire mantle.
I rushed back into the bedroom and picked out the photos, and went back into the living room for the frames. I slid the photos in, smiling afterwards.
I placed the one of all my friends on the mantle, next to one of Charlie and Jacob. I finally filled the fourth one with Edward and the Cullen's photo, that belonged on the bedside.
I felt another kick when I put the frame down, "That's your daddy and his family." I said towards the bump, feeling a nudge afterwards, I chuckled.
I went back into the living room to continue with the ice cream, and heard my phone ringing. It was Jessica. I wanted to answer, but I couldn't, I couldn't bring myself to do it. Eventually it stopped ringing, and she'd left a message.
"Hey Bella, it's Jess, obviously. Uh... we just want to know where you are, know your safe. Please. Okay... uh, bye."
I sighed and deleted the message. I stared at my phone for a while, we just want to know where you are, know your safe. One text, she needed to know I was okay. They all did.
Hey Jess, it's Bella. I got your message, and I'm fine. I promise. Just tell my Dad not to worry about me.
I sent it, and threw my phone onto the couch. I suddenly didn't fancy ice cream anymore. I put it away in the freezer, and went to bed. I lifted my shirt off to put my pajama one on, and saw the bump - I could of sworn it had grown, it looked as if I was at least two months gone. That wasn't right. It definately wasn't normal.
I put the top on, and tucked into the duvet, looking at the photo, tears forming in my eyes.
"I love you." I whispered, touching the photo.
I rested my hand on my stomach, drifting off to sleep...
x-x-x-x-x-x-x
My eyes opened slowly, adjusting to the light. I propped myself up with my elbow, and threw the duvet off me. I got out of the bed and stood up, catching a glimpse of myself in the mirror.
The bump was bigger again. Now I looked at least five months pregnant. I rested my hands on the bump, feeling a very strong kick.
"Easy." I chuckled, stroking the bump.
I left the bedroom, and went into the kitchen - I fancied some pancakes this morning. As I put the mixture in, I felt another kick, this time a sharp pain came with it. I bit my lip, and lifted my shirt slightly, and was shocked to find a few bruises on my bump. Shocked, I pulled my shirt down again.
This wasn't a normal baby, not a normal pregnancy. My baby was strong; like Edward. I put the completed pancakes onto a plate, and began eating them. When I'd finished I still felt hungry, causing me to groan.
"I've just eaten, what else do you want?" I said to my bump.
My head snapped up afterwards. I was still hungry, and my baby was probably a vampire, or half vampire. It wasn't food it wanted, it was blood. Human blood.
Ohh! I read Breaking Dawn in the bath when I thought of this chapter. So, review? x
