It had been 7 months since I had had any blood and 7 months that I had had my baby inside me and I felt like I was going to die. I was curled up on the sofa, spewing my guts up from the small pop tart I had for breakfast.
'Carlisle, she needs blood' I heard Jacob urge him. I had my eyes closed now and I was trying to get to sleep but I was so cold it was hard. Even pressed against Jake's body with 3 blankets on.
'I know Jake but remember what happened last time? How the baby reacted? It's not good for the baby, a few more days and she'll be ready to deliver and then she can have all the blood she wants. Besides I don't think it's just the blood, remember she is part vampire so the vampire side isn't compatible for the baby, there's a part of her that's changing and a part of her that's completely frozen. It's very complicated, the baby isn't so good for her, not near as bad as it was for Bella but still not good.'
I sighed deeply and pressed in closer to Jake. Of course the baby wasn't good for my body.
'Well can't we just get it out now? It'll only be a few days early?'
I grew rigged. I was so scared, I wasn't sure if I was ready to have the baby right now.
'We could I suppose' I heard Carlisle ponder 'but we'll have to ask Renesmee first'
I felt Bella's hand holding mine tight.
Jake shook me gently, 'Nessie? Nessie are you ready to have the baby now? The sooner it's out the better'
I was tired and I was in no mood to have a baby. I shook my head.
'Ness, please come on you'll feel so much better and then you'll be able to have some blood'
Ah. Blood. The magic word, how I craved blood, I could taste it on my tongue, soothing my raging thirst. Jake must have been able to see the reaction I was having by the mention of the word blood, he stroked my hair.
'See, you'll be able to have blood and you will be amazing and full of life again'
I reluctantly nodded.
'You'll have a caesarean Nessie, you won't feel a thing' Carlisle assured me
I frowned. 'There will be scars on my belly' I grumbled.
Everyone giggled. 'No there won't, you're half vampire, you heal even quicker than Jacob' Carlisle told me and then Jacob lifted me up and carried me to Carlisle's surgeon room upstairs.
A few minutes later when I was settled on the bed I felt a sharp sting in my veins and a cool liquid running up my arms. I started to panic.
'Jake, Jake' I tried to shout but my voice was weak and I could feel myself getting extremely drowsy.
'Don't worry Ness, I won't leave your side for one single second, you will be fine my angel' and he squeezed my hand very hard and then I went under…
Between sleep and blackness and white walls I was only aware of one thing. The pressure from Jacob's warm hand and him stroking my hair every few seconds and Bella's quiet breathing right next to me then the next thing that I heard. A piercing cry from the other side of the room.
'It's over' Jake whispered into my ear 'our little girl is here.'
