Chapter 13
EPOV
When Bella took Sophie upstairs, my dead heart broke. I shook Tanya's arm off and followed everyone to the living room.
"So, Edward. Tell us about Bella and how you two met," Kate said.
"I don't want to hear about a stupid human and her offspring," Tanya said. I growled at her.
"Watch it, Tanya. Eddie is still a newborn and won't like you talking about Bella and his daughter that way," Emmett said. The Denali's all froze. Suddenly, Tanya screeched.
"What?" she screamed. I sighed, here goes nothing.
"Sophie is my daughter. She was conceived before I was changed," I said. I launched into my story about my human life. By the end, Tanya was seething. Maybe she'll leave me alone now. Well, I can daydream, can't I?
"I'm going upstairs," Tanya said, getting up and leaving. She was blocking her thoughts, so I waved her off.
"Well, I think that's a lovely story. So romantic," Carmen said.
"I have to agree with, Carmen," Kate said.
"Me, too," Irina said.
"Me three," Elezar said.
"It's nice to know you approve," I said. I got up after that and went to my piano. When Esme learned I could play, she bought me a piano. I played Bella's lullaby everyday. I started playing, blocking out everyone and every sound, just enjoying getting lost in the music. I was pulled out when I heard the front door slam and the sound of Bella's truck roaring to life.
I went to the window and watched Bella peel out. I was heading out the door when Emmett stopped me.
"Hey, bro? Where you going?" he asked.
"Do you know what's wrong with Bella?" I asked. I saw the images in his head. Bella's tearstained face.
"I don't know. She was crying. I asked her what's wrong, but she didn't answer. She just left," he said.
I nodded. I was halfway through the door when I heard Tanya's thoughts.
'Teach that little human not to mess with my mate,' she thought. I flew up the stairs and tackled her to the ground.
"What did you say to her?!" I screamed. She looked terrified. I saw it then, in her head. I growled, ready to rip her head off. But I was pulled off of her. Emmett held me tight while I tried to break free. The family and Denali's came to see what was going on.
"What is wrong with you, Edward?" Esme asked.
"Ask Tanya!" I snarled, still trying to break free. Everyone looked at her.
"Just getting rid of people who don't belong here," she said, looking at her nails. Everyone knew who she was talking about. They gasped.
"Tanya!" Carmen gasped.
Alice gasped and went into a vision. It was Bella, driving down the road. She was crying. She wasn't looking where she was going and swerved into the other lane. I watched in horror as she smashed into another car.
"No!" I screamed. "Alice, watch over Sophie!" I said, breaking free from Emmett and flying out the door. I took off into the woods.
I could smell the blood before I even arrived to the scene. I ignored the smell and burn in my throat and went to Bella's truck. The other person was down the road, trying to contact the police.
I saw Bella in the car. She was unconscious, lying over the steering wheel, covered in blood.
"Bella!" I shouted. I opened her smashed door. I moved her form from the car and laid her on the ground. She had two gashes on her head. Carlisle was next to me then, looking her over.
"She has some broken ribs. She's losing blood. We need to get her to a hospital," he said. He looked to me. "Are you okay, Edward?" he asked. I nodded, still looking at Bella.
"Bella, please e alright," I said, holding her bloody hand. I cried tearless sobs, praying to God she would be alright.
"Oh, my God! Is she alright? I honked my horn at her and tried to swerve out of the way, but I was too late!" the woman from the other car said.
"She'll be fine. Did you get a hold to the ambulance?" Carlisle asked the lady.
"They're on their way," she said. Soon, the ambulance arrived. They put Bella on a stretcher, and I didn't leave her side. Carlisle rode up front in the ambulance while I stayed beside Bella.
When we arrived at the hospital, my family was there, along with Sophie. I followed Bella until I had to stop. Carlisle went ahead through the doors.
'I'll make sure she'll be okay, son. Go to your daughter. She needs her father right now,' he thought to me.
I walked back to the waiting room. I took Sophie from Alice and sat down. No one talked. Sophie looked up at me. I smiled down at her and kissed her forehead. I was in for a long wait.
BPOV
My head was throbbing. I tried to open my eyes, but was blinded by a bright light. I closed my eyes and groaned. I heard a sweet giggle next to me. My eyes opened again and I looked to where the sound came from. I met with two green eyes and smiled.
"Hey, look who's awake. It's Mommy," I heard a velvet voice say. I looked up and met with two topaz eyes.
"How are you feeling, love?" Edward asked. I started to sit up, but felt pain and winced.
"Ouch," I moaned.
"Don't try to sit up. You're going to be sore for a while," Edward said.
"What's the damage?" I asked.
"You had to get stitches on your head. You had two broken ribs, a dislocated shoulder, which is why you have a sling on your arm, and cuts and bruises covering every inch of your body," Edward said.
I nodded, which hurt.
I looked away from him this time. I felt the bed shift and the tears spill over.
"I know what happened, Bella. What I don't know is why?" he asked. I looked at him.
"Why what?" I asked.
"Why did you believe her?" he asked.
"It makes sense. I'm a weak, ugly human. You're a strong, beautiful vampire," I said.
"Isabella Marie Swan, you are not weak or ugly. You're beautiful and strong. Inside and out," Edward said.
"She's way more beautiful than me," I said.
"Bella, you're more beautiful. Do you want to know what makes you beautiful? Inside, your kind nature, your unselfishness, you always think of others before yourself, you want to make other people happy, even if that makes you sad," he said.
"What about the outside?" I asked.
"So many things. Your nose," he said, touching my nose, "is as cute as a button. Your lips are full and makes me want to kiss them. Your cheeks that are a beautiful rosy red when you're embarrassed. Your hair, which is long and wavy that makes me want to run my fingers through it. It's like chocolate waves that is red in the sun. Your hands, that are warm when they touch my face and fit perfectly in mine. Your….boobs, that are a perfect size, a size every other girl pays thousands of dollars for, just to look like yours, yet yours are natural. Your stomach is flat, yet you had a baby. Your legs run on for miles. Your feet that's always begging to play with mine. And my favorite, your eyes. They're like two chocolate pools that I always get lost in, no matter what the situation is. It makes me feel like I can see in your soul," he said. He touched each body part as he spoke of it. I had tears, happy tears going down my face. I pulled on his shirt and he smiled. He leaned down and I kissed him. I locked my fingers in his hair and pulled him closer.
We heard a sweet, musical giggle next to us and pulled apart. We looked towards the sound and saw Sophie giggling at us. I reached over and pulled her towards me. She crawled next to my side.
"She missed her mommy," Edward said, playing with on of her curls.
"Well, Mommy missed her, too," I said, taking her little hand.
"She's the only thing that has kept me sane for the past day," Edward said. I froze and looked up at him.
"How long have I've been asleep?" I asked.
"A day. You were banged up pretty badly," Edward said.
"I'm sorry," I said.
"Don't apologize. It's not your fault. It's Tanya's. I'm sorry I didn't hear her say those things to you. I was playing the piano and was blocking everyone out. So I guess it's kind of my fault," he said. I scowled.
"No, it's not your fault. It's just Tanya's," I growled. He smiled up at me.
"I love you," he said.
"I love you, too," I said, touching his cheek. He kissed me softly, then pulled away.
"Where's Charlie?" I asked, remembering him.
"He's at work. He calls Alice every hour to check on you. Renee wanted to come, but Charlie convinced her not to. She's calling every minute. And my parents called to check on you," he said, glancing down. Oh, his real parents. I got an idea.
"Pass me my cell phone, please," I said. He got a confused look and handed it to me.
"What are you doing, Bella?" he asked.
"Do you want to hear your parents again? I'm not going to tell them you're here. I just figured you would want to hear them," I said.
He smiled a sad smile and nodded. He laid down next to me and I dialed Elizabeth's number. I then put it on speakerphone.
"Hello?" Elizabeth's voice sang over the speaker. I felt Edward go still at my side. I squeezed his hand.
"Hey, Elizabeth. It's Bella," I said.
"Oh! Bella! How are you doing? Are you okay? Edward, get in here! Bella's on the phone! Hurry up, you old lazy bones!" Elizabeth said, giggling a little. It made me laugh and Edward to chuckle quietly next to me.
"I'm fine, Elizabeth. Just a few bumps and bruises," I reassured her.
"Isabella Swan! I know you have a little more injuries than a few bumps and bruises! I talked to your mother!" she said. I giggled.
"Okay, I'm caught. I'm guilty," I said.
"Well, if it isn't Bella," I heard Edward Sr.'s voice say.
"Hello, Edward," I said.
"How are you, sweetie? Are you feeling okay?" he asked.
"I feel fine," I said.
"Always injuring yourself," Edward Sr. muttered, chuckling his deep chuckle.
"Don't you know it," I said.
"So where's my beautiful granddaughter?" Elizabeth asked.
"Right here. Sophie, can you say 'hi,'" I said, putting the phone near her. She mumbled nonsense into the phone and tried to put it in her mouth, but I pulled it away.
"Hello, Sophie! Grandma and Grandpa love you!" Elizabeth said.
"She loves you, too," I said, smiling.
"Well, Bella, we must go. But call us soon so we can hear how everything is going," Elizabeth said.
"I will. We love you," I said.
"Love you, too!" she said, hanging up.
"Thank you," Edward said, pulling me close.
"No problem," I said, closing my eyes and snuggling up next to him.
You guys are totally awesome!! I got over 250 reviews!! I only got 4 over but that's better than not reaching my goal!! So now I'm really going to push you guys!! Let's see if we can get over 350 reviews!! That's about 100 reviews so and I think you guys can do it!! So guess, what!! I got my New Moon DVD the fan edition from Wal-Mart, and I saw the Eclipse sneak peak!! I'm uber excited now!! But when I went to watch the deleted & extended scenes, THEY WEREN'T ON THERE!! How f****d up is that?? That's messed up!! I was totally looking forward to see the scene when they come home from Italy and Charlie gets all up in Edward's face. So you can imagine my disappointment. I really wanted to see how Edward handled that on the screen!! I wanted to see Edward stick up for his love for Bella!! I was already mad I didn't see it in the theater, but not being able to see it in the deleted scenes, really sent me over the edge. But, I did see the ones they released online. I didn't like any of them. The only one I liked was the one where Edward is driving Bella home. The others weren't even that good. Just boring Jacob stuff. SOME OF THEM COULDN'T EVEN BE CALLED SCENES!! They were just things with green screens behind them. So I'm kinda mad I didn't get to see that scene. Hopefully one day they'll release it!! Okay guys!! Let's see if you can give me over 350 reviews!!
