Last Chapter

We had been going to school for two weeks, without any problems at all but on Tuesday when Bella and I were in Biology, while she was walking to our desk she fell to the floor holding her sides and then she started screaming.

Chapter 20 Hold On

I quickly picked Bella up and walked as fast as I could out the door without causing suspicion, Alice and Jasper were already waiting for us by the car. I got in the backseat of my Volvo with Bella, Jasper and Alice got in the front.

"Drive to the hospital, Jasper, Carlisle will be waiting for us." Alice said and looked at me from the side mirror, "She'll be okay, Edward, both of them." she assured me, I knew she was right, but I wanted to hear this from the doctor. I looked at Bella, she was holding back the screams, but she was in extreme pain.

We reached the hospital in no time at all and Carlisle stood outside waiting for us, his scrub covered in blood. "What happened?" he asked and came towards us. I got out of the car, carrying Bella to him.

"She started screaming and holding her sides like this in Biology." Jasper explained and opened the hospital door.

People looked at us as we came with Bella, I hated seeing her in pain, but pain like this, pain I had caused; I felt like I was going to break any second.

"Let's take her to my office, and I can have a look at her." Carlisle said and took Bella from me, Bella moaned in pain and Carlisle walked faster.

We got to his office and Carlisle lay Bella down on the table. She was calmer now, but I heard Jasper's thoughts, she was only getting better at hiding it.

"Edward she's going to pass out from the pain soon." Alice thought towards me, she looked extremely worried and took a step closer to Bella. Carlisle was checking her, and when he pulled up her shirt I saw it, Alice gasped. The bruises across her belly, she looked beaten, I turned away because I couldn't stand the fact that she was in pain because of me, because Igot her pregnant.

"Bella?" Carlisle suddenly said with worry in his voice and I turned around at once. Her head was hanging down and I was at her side in an instant. "She's just passed out, she's fine." Carlisle said and laid her down on the floor, kneeling down next to her, I did was well.

He started to smack her cheek gently, but she didn't react. "Jasper, Alice grab everything on this list and meet us in the parking-lot." Carlisle said while he was writing a list within a second.

I picked Bella up of the floor and ran outside to the car, too fast for other to see me. I laid her carefully in the backseat, sitting next to her, supporting her head in my lap, her dark curls were spread across my lap.

Seconds later Carlisle was next to me and Alice laid something in the trunk. Then Jasper and Alice were in the front seat, already on their way out of the parking-lot in high speed.

We reached the house and Esme and Emmett stood outside waiting for us, "Let's get her inside." Emmett said and took Bella from me, then ran inside. We carried all the monitors in, and put it up in the living room.

After we hooked Bella up to the monitors, I sat by her side, just staring at her. I sat with her like that for four days.

The only thing that pulled me out of my daze was the smell of human blood, it was coming closer to the house, we had visitors.

"Edward, you need to hunt, you haven't in 5 days, it's a miracle you haven't attacked Bella yet!" Alice yelled at me, but I just kept walking around the living room.

Mike knocked on the door, I recognized his smell, "Emmett, open the door." Carlisle said, walking down the stairs after sitting in his office all day.

Emmett ran to the door, and opened it slowly. "Hi, we were just wondering if Bella was alright?" Mike asked.

"Bella is okay." Emmett answered, his voice was cold, and he's eyes were as black as mine. "Can we see her?" Angela asked. She stood right behind Mike, holding Ben's hand.

As I saw the whole scene in Bella's old friends' heads, I heard something. Bella's heartbeat, getting stronger. Turning back to normal, it had been uneven all this time and now finally it was normal..

Emmett had no temper today, "No, you can't see her." How he said it was even colder than dry-ice. Mike, Angela, Ben and Tyler.

I guess Jessica had given up on her and Bella's friendship, but honestly, I knew Bella didn't care. Jessica had turned her back on Bella too many times, and we both were tired of it.

But I knew she cared for Angela, so I knew we could make contact later and we could apologize.

What the hell? How rude to just slam the door in our faces. - Jessica.

Did we do something wrong? We just wanted to see her and see if there was something we could do to help. - Mike.

I hope she's alright. - Angela, the voice in her head was so sad it could make anything or anyone cry. I hoped Bella was going to be alright, because I knew, unlike Angela, that Bella wasn't alright.

Emmett closed the door quietly, without any other words to Bella's old friends.

BPOV

I heard Emmett close the door, thought I couldn't speak, or move or feel. I heard, their voices, someone better than others.

I had my eyes open, in my head. It was all black, I turned around, black as well. I started walking to find a way, a way out of the darkness and back to the others.

And I walked and walked, for days it felt like, but I didn't get tired, it didn't bother the baby.

Suddenly a door appeared in front of me, it was white, big, like those you see at the hospital. I opened it and walked down the hall, it was empty, I was the only one there.

Then I heard a scream, it was close. I walked faster, running almost, searching for where the screaming was coming from.

I stopped. I turned my head to the left and the door there opened for me, and I walked in.

What I saw inside was really… unexpected.

It was me, giving birth. Edward was sitting behind me, holding my hands, and Carlisle was front of me, ready to catch it.

If things only could happen that way it would be much easier. But Edward is a vampire, and that's how I wanted him, for who he is. I wouldn't trade him for everything in the world.

And now we were going to have our love child, and we were going to be happy forever. All I had to do was to wake up, and have the baby so our forever could start.

Edward seemed so happy, the look on his face, so perfect. I looked down at my belly, I couldn't see my feet now. It moved inside me, such a wonderful feeling and I felt so happy, I smiled, no way I could or wanted to hold it back.

Suddenly the baby started kicking, and the kicking didn't stop.

It started kicking harder, and I fell to the floor, crawling inside the room, screaming for someone to help me.

But they didn't seem to notice me. They didn't even turn to see where the sound was coming from.

Suddenly it was like I was being pulled away, just when I saw Carlisle holding a little baby in his arm, I didn't even get the chance to see if it was a boy or a girl.

But then I realized it was them that were being pulled away, not me.

And the pain, it was unbearable. I felt like I was being ripped apart from the inside.

"Bella!" "Bella!" "Bella!" I heard the voices, I even knew who it was, but I couldn't see their faces.

I could feel their touch but yet no faces.

EPOV

I heard Bella scream, and I was at her side in a flash, she was turning in pain and sweat drops were falling from her forehead.

"Bella!" "Bella!" "Bella!" Alice, Esme, and I all called out trying to get through to her without success. We could see that she was in too much pain to answer. I lifted Bella off the bed, and knelt down on the floor with her, everyone in the room was quiet, everyone but Bella.

I whispered in her ear, "Hold on, love. You'll be safe soon, I promise you." Carlisle came in a rush and was next to us in a blink. "The baby is biting it's way through. We need to help, or else Bella will die." as he spoke, I felt like my whole world was falling apart, right in front of me.

I and so sorry for the long wait. I thought I was going to have time to work on the story but I didn't. lucky for everyone who reads this story I caught a cold and am currently at home sick in bed with plenty of time to work. I'm already starting to work on the next chapter, The Awaking. Only two more chapters so please read and review.
