Song: Break Away: Staind
I had been right. I was in my ninth month and I hadn't seen Seth since the day he took Sara and left. Everybody was shunning me, except Darius, but he was to busy to spend all his time with me.
I believe the way I was being treated had something to do with Seth, but I have no proof. Emily had even stopped being so friendly with me. Jayson, Cash, Jamye, and Zakree had all joined Sam's pack. I had given Darius leave to do the same, but he said he was happy with the pack he was in.
I felt a pain run through me. Fifteen minutes later it happened again. I gauged them for an hour before I tried to call Darius. He didn't answer. I could not reach anyone. I called Alice. She had been ignoring my calls lately and this was no exception.
I tried calling Cash, Jacob, Jamye, Jayson, Zakree, Leah, Sue, Emily, and Sam. No answer on any of them. I sighed and called the police station I explained my situation and they were sending an ambulance over to retrieve me.
I packed a hospital bag with clothes for myself and the baby in it, and waited patiently in the living room for it to pull up. They brought a stretcher inside and I climbed on it. They didn't use sirens or anything. It wasn't an emergency.
I got into my room, and quietly read a book. Pausing only to breath my way through the contractions. Once I dilated to a certain point a nurse came in and offered me an epidural, which I refused.
It got to where I couldn't read my book or concentrate. I rested my head against the pillow. I was in labor for six hours. A relatively quick birth.
The joy that overcame me when I looked into the face of my newborn child was overwhelming. "Hey beautiful." I whispered and kissed the top of her head. "Mommy loves you." They took her only long enough to clean her up and then returned her to me.
She was so beautiful. Seven pounds six ounces and twenty inched long. Nobody had came to see me or the baby. Finally a couple of hours after I had her, a very frantic Darius burst through the door. He looked into my face and swept me into his embrace. "I'm sorry sweetie. I just got your message. I came as fast as I could."
His voice soothed me and he finally calmed me down. He slid on the bed next to Jade and me. We both fell asleep in his embrace.
I spent the next few days learning how to take care of Jade, Darius picked us up from the hospital in my car. Nobody had sent us flowers or balloons so it was easy gathering our possessions. Darius had gotten Jade a stuffed black wolf. I wonder why? But, it was almost a perfect replica of him.
Jade was a picture with a head full of black hair. She was wearing a pale pink dress with dark pink hearts on it, a bow, and little pink dress shoes. She had porcelain skin, and dark black eyes.
Alice had finally returned my call and had the phone snatched from her by a very excited Chase. He wanted to see Cade's baby, and he wanted to see her now. I laughed and promised we would stop there on the way home from the hospital.
We pulled down the Cullen's driveway and I unloaded a sleeping Jade from the backseat. I knocked quietly on the door and it was jerked open by a very excited four year old. "My Cade! Where have you been? I wanna see your baby!" I laughed and carried the baby into the living room and pulled the blanket off the top.
Edward and Chase gasped at the same time. "She's mine!" Chase declared. "I'll take care of her. I love her." I looked at Edward and he nodded. Chase had just imprinted on my baby.
