Chapter 2:

Deliver Me From Evil

"What! What is it?" Edward said clinging to her.

"IT'S COMING!" She screamed

"Right now?" Jacob jumped off of the couch.

"NO NEXT WEEK YOU IDIOT!" She screamed at Jacob.

"What do we do?" I asked.

"Call Carlisle…" Edward said looking at me fiercely.

Jacob got out his cell phone and quickly dialed the number, Torrance let out another chilling scream and Jacob went into the kitchen to talk to Carlisle. I looked back at Edward who was lifting up Torrance's shirt revealing her black and blue stomach that had very clear bumps moving around like snakes moving right underneath the water. "Edward…" I gasped.

"I need something sharp, does Jacob have a straight razor or something," He asked not taking his eyes off of her stomach.

"No, nothing like that…knives, all I have is a new set of knives from Renee." I said shaken.

"GET IT OUT! GET IT OUT!" Torrance screamed.

"Carlisle's on his way," Jacob said rushing back into the living room, "Oh my god…" He said looking at Torrance's stomach.

A loud pop and crunch was heard followed by another scream from Torrance, "We don't have time, Bella, get me a knife, one that is not serrated."

"Are you sure, I mean a knife isn't…" I said.

"GO!" He screamed, and placed a calming hand on Torrance's cheek, "It's ok baby, we'll get through this."

"It hurts Edward, it hurts so bad…" She said and tensed up.

I came back in with the sharpest knife I had without ridges and handed to Edward's awaiting hand, "I know baby I know, but we can do this."

"Just remember what I said, it doesn't matter how bad I get, it doesn't matter…" She had to pause again, she was shaking now, and going pale.

"I won't let you die Torrance," Edward said through gritted teeth.

"NO!" She screamed and put her hand on his face, "DO NOT BITE ME!"

"Ok, but you have to hold on ok, just hold on." He said and she nodded, she let her head fall and squeezed her eyes shut making tears fall from them. "Jacob, hold her arms." Jacob did as he was told and I watched Edward take the knife and hesitate before placing the blade on her stomach. "We have to do this kinda fast okay sweetheart, you'll heal too quickly if I don't do this fast."

"JUST DO IT!" Torrance screamed. Edward with one long swipe opened Torrance up right under her stomach and revealed a white membrane, he touched the wall with the tips of his fingers, then took the knife slowly to it, with each inch that opened up more and more of the inside could be seen. First a little dome with a full head of hair, then shoulders, arms, stomach, legs, feet. Edward pulled out the wiggling baby and without even looking at it handed it over to me and started to diligently work on repairing Torrance. I held the baby in my arms and looked into its dark brown eyes, so dark they could have been black. I scanned the baby's face, inventorying every facet, Edward's nose, Torrance's lips, I looked down and saw that it was a he, my eyes teared with joy, and I went back to his face. Pure shock ran over me when I saw he was smiling, this tiny little thing was staring at me and smiling…with a full set of teeth.

"Bella, give him to me at once," I heard from behind me, and Carlisle was there, with the rest of the family in toe. I hesitated for a moment looking back down at the tiny boy in my arms, and I didn't want to follow directions, "Please Bella, he needs to feed." I reluctantly handed him over to Carlisle, who rapidly gave him to Esme who was waiting with what looked like a baby bottle, but it wasn't filled with milk however, it was filled with blood. Carlisle sped over to Edward and started to work on Torrance.

"She's losing blood," Edward said panicked, "She won't stop bleeding."

"It's okay, her body is already starting to heal. Alice set up the I.V, Jacob let her go." Carlisle said calmly, and for the first time I looked over at Torrance, she had lost all color in her body and her eyes had rolled back into her head. I was stunned, I couldn't move, the Cullens flew through every room, retrieving this and that, soon there was a makeshift hospital room in my new living room, at the center was Torrance, and she wasn't looking any better.

"Is she…" I said to Jacob who was now standing next to me, with his arms around me.

"She is going to be fine, she can heal, she will be fine." He said holding me tighter.

After awhile of just standing there waiting, Carlisle got up from his position beside Torrance and began wiping his hands. He looked over at Edward who was stroking Torrance's face and kissing her forehead, he let out a large sigh, "She is doing much better, her body is healing amazingly well. As soon as the blood gets absorbed into her system her color should come back. We shouldn't move her though, she's going to need to stay here for the night." He said the last part to me and Jacob, asking for permission, did he even need to ask?

"Of course," I said walking over to her, and taking her hand in mine, it wasn't hot anymore, the fire was gone. I looked over at Edward and then at Esme, who still had the baby, "He needs a name, Edward." I said with a half smile, "You're a father."

More tears ran from his face, "No," He said almost defiantly, "She will name him, I owe her that much." He kissed her head again and lingered there for a minute.

"He's sleeping," Esme said staring at the child without a name, "Where will he sleep tonight?"

"Here," Edward said without a second thought, "Right next to her. I want him to be the first thing she sees when she wakes up."

"I'll go get the crib," Alice said jumping into motion, "anything else?"

"Bring all the blood we've stored," Carlise said.

"And the clothes we were saving for the baby shower," Esme added.

"Done." With that Alice was gone.

"I'll also stay here for the night," Carlisle said, "If that's alright," He said to me and I nodded.

Everything settled down and most of the excitement was over, once again my living room changed form into a hospital/nursery/refugee camp. Not only was Carlisle staying the night, but Rosalie of course volunteered, and Edward. They all assured me that everything was going to be fine, and after my turn to hold the baby they demanded I go to sleep. I didn't feel very tired, but the bags under my eyes gave me away.

I went into my untouched bedroom and Jacob followed, closing the door behind him, "Wow…" Was all I could say.

"Welcome home," He said with a smile as we both got into bed, "well at least everything is all right, I mean it could have been a lot worse."

I yawned, "that's true."

I closed my eyes and drifted off with Jacob's arms around me…

"Bella…" I heard an unfamiliar voice calling me, "Bella…Bella…Bella…" I opened my eyes and I wasn't in my bed anymore, I was in the ocean, I could feel the sun's rays against my cheek and arms wrapped around my waist. I felt at home, comfortable, and lighter than air as he held me up in the water. I turned around to look at Jacob's face, but it was not the face that stared back at me. His eyes were round and glossed over making them shine in the light, his dark brown wavy hair went to his strong chin that was covered short scruff. His lips were pink and creased at the edges showing a smile that revealed stark white teeth. His chest was bare and luminous like Edward's in the sun, little specks of diamonds etched into his skin. As my eyes ran down his body I was aware that he was not human, "Welcome home," He said in a slow sure voice.

Confused I responded, "This isn't my home."

"It can be, you want me Bella, I can sense it, feel it in my soul." He said placing a hand on my chest, feeling my heart.

"my home is with Jacob, where is Jacob?" I asked and looked around, but the ocean was vast, and there was no land anywhere.

"you're home is with me, you will love me Bella."

"I don't even know you."

"My name is Eli, and I have chosen you."

"Chosen me for what?" I felt I should be more alert, more anxious, but it felt right. Whatever it was, wherever I was, I felt at home, I felt pulled to him.

"you will see in time," He said, "But for now it's time for you to wake up."

"I am awake," I said and I was sure that I was.

"Jacob isn't all yours, he will not be honest with you," He said.

"Jacob is always honest with me," I said back, and though I felt angry, I couldn't make myself sound that way.

"Just wake up Bella…"

"I am awake…"

"Wake up…."

"I am awake…"

I felt my body shake and my eyes open, I was back in my bedroom, and Jacob was nudging me, "You are now," He said with a laugh.
