Chapter 34

BPOV

We had been on Isle Esme for almost two weeks now. Every moment was spent in complete bliss. If we weren't outside exploring all the island has to offer, we were in bed exploring each other in ways we never thought were possible. If we ever managed to venture outside, it wasn't long before we were going at it again, whether it be under the waterfall or on the beach, we couldn't get enough of each other.

As I started stirring from my sleep, I felt around for my husband, but only found warm sheets. I opened my eyes and wiped the sleep from them, looking around the room for him. As I looked around, I noticed it was still dark outside. I turned to the clock on the table and saw it was only 3 a.m. My stomach rumbled, signaling I was hungry.

I got up, wrapping myself in one of Edward's t-shirts that was strolled on the floor, and headed to the kitchen. I opened the fridge to see if I could find anything to eat. I found some leftover chicken spaghetti from three nights ago. It looked promising, so I stuck it in the microwave to heat up.

As the food heated up, I found a note on the counter addressed to me. It read 'Mrs. Cullen' on the outside.

I hope you don't wake before I get back. But if you do, I've just gone to the mainland to hunt. I'll be back before you wake. I love you.

Yours forever,

Edward

I smiled and laid the note back down on the counter as the microwave beeped, signaling my food was done. I slowly ate, not allowing any time for the food to cool off. By the time it had, I had already finished.

I stuck the bowl in the sink and went back into the bedroom. I opened the sliding door to let the warm night air in and turned on the TV. It wasn't long that I got tired of watching some movie, and fell asleep.

It wasn't until I felt a weight on the bed by my head that I woke from my dreamless sleep. I opened my eyes to see my husband's smiling face. In his hands, he had a tray that held eggs and bacon with a glass of orange juice.

"Good morning, beautiful wife of mine," he said, leaning down to kiss me.

I sat up as he pulled away.

"What's all this?" I asked as he placed the food down in my lap.

"My beautiful wife deserves breakfast in bed every once in a while," he said with that gorgeous smile of his.

"Thank you," I said, reaching for a piece of bacon.

I ate my breakfast slowly, savoring the taste of the delicious bacon. When I was done, Edward took the tray from my lap and set it on the floor to pick up later. He encaged me in his arms, making me squeal, and laid his head over my heart. I let my fingers play in his hair, scratching his scalp lightly.

"For someone who doesn't eat, you can really cook. Since when do you cook? You use to suck," I teased softly.

I felt the vibrations of his laughter against my stomach.

"When you can't sleep at night, you tend to learn new things," he said.

"More like you watched Food Network," I said.

He looked up at me with a smirk that only could mean I figured out his secret.

"Not all of us can be professional cooks," he said.

"I'm not a professional. I've learned different things over the years," I objected.

"Same thing," he muttered, kissing me.

He hovered over me, trapping me under his body. I pushed against his chest, letting him know to flip over. He wrapped his arms around me, swinging me with him. The motion did something to me. I don't know what happened clearly, but one second I felt fine, and the next my stomach rolled.

I pulled away from Edward, covering my mouth and sprinting headlong to the bathroom. As I released everything I had just eaten into the toilet, I felt Edward pulling my hair away from my face and putting it into a clip to keep it back.

When I was completely finished, I laid one of my flushed cheeks on Edward's chest. I started sobbing, for no reason. I don't know why I started crying, but I couldn't stop.

"Ssh, Bella. It's alright, love," Edward soothed me, rubbing circles on my back.

"I'm sorry. You cooked all that wonderful food for me and it was wasted," I sobbed, looking into his eyes.

He started chuckling, which made me cry worse.

"Why are you laughing at me?" I cried. He stopped when he saw it upset me worse.

"Oh, Bella. Don't worry about the food, love. That doesn't matter. All that matters is you. What do you think is wrong?" he asked, laying the back of his hand on my forehead.

"I don't know," then I remembered last night. "I had some leftover chicken spaghetti last night while you were gone. It didn't taste any different…."

"It's three days old. It might have gone bad. I think you just have a small case of food poisoning. It'll pass soon enough," Edward said.

I nodded.

He slowly lifted me in his arms, not wanting to upset my stomach any further. He laid me on the bed, wrapping me in the sheets and flipped the TV to a movie, before crawling underneath the sheets with me. I laid my head on his chest, as we watched the movie together.

I didn't get sick the rest of the day, so I convinced Edward to let me eat some eggs for dinner. He made me stay on the couch under his watchful eye as he cooked for me. I ate the eggs greedily, getting up to cook myself seconds. Edward laughed at me, getting up to help me cook them.

"I guess the food poisoning is gone," I said as I finished my second helping of eggs.

"I guess so. That's a little weird. Usually food poisoning lasts at least 24 hours," Edward said.

"I've always had a strong immune system," I said, shrugging my shoulders. "Besides, I was hoping I could have some desert."

Edward gave me a confused look.

"If you're still hungry after all that food, I'm sure we can scrounge up some ice cream. I'll have to see what we have," he said, going over to the freezer.

I rolled my eyes. Could he really be that dense? I got up, shutting the door to the freezer before he could completely open it. I pinned him up against the counter, well he let me pin him against the counter.

"I had a different desert in mind than ice cream," I said, unbuttoning the button on his shorts.

His honey eyes darkened as his grip on my waist tightened slightly.

"Why didn't you just say so?" he asked, picking me up. My legs immediately went around his waist.

"Silly me," I said before he ran us to the bedroom, kicking the door shut with his foot.

The next morning, I woke up to Edward kissing his way up and down my neck. I giggled and let him roll me over onto my back. The familiar feeling that rolled in my stomach yesterday morning was there again.

I gasped, and pushed against Edward, trying to get free. He sat up in confusion, just in time for me to get up and run to the bathroom. Last night's food showed itself again, making me cry again. I felt Edward's hands on my back rubbing soothing circles on it. When there was nothing left to puke, my body did nothing but dry heave.

Edward stayed by me though, trying to comfort me. When I was finally finished, I laid my head against the edge of the toilet and let it cool my forehead.

"It's okay now, Bella," Edward said.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked.

"Why don't I call a doctor to come see you? He might be able to see what's wrong."

"No. I'm sure it will pass soon."

"Bella, I don't want it to be untreated if it's something serious," Edward fretted.

"I'm fine, seriously. I feel better now," I said, trying to calm his worries.

"I don't know, Bella…."

"Seriously, I'm better now. Why don't you go fix me some eggs? I'll be in there after I brush my teeth," I promised.

Edward gave me a look before sighing and heading into the kitchen. I walked over to the sink and started brushing my teeth.

What was wrong with me? I felt perfectly fine now. Maybe a slight case of food poisoning? Maybe it was something in the eggs? I didn't know what it was, but I did know that if I didn't get better any time soon, overprotective Edward was going to call a doctor. I didn't want to have to deal with being sick on my honeymoon.

After I finished brushing my teeth, I went to put my toothbrush back in the cup, accidentally knocking over my toiletry bag with my hand in the process. The contents, along with the bag crashed to the ground, making a loud noise.

"Bella! What happened?" Edward asked, from the kitchen.

"Nothing, I just knocked over my bag. I'll be out in a minute," I yelled back.

I reached down and started picking up everything that strolled out. The last thing I came across was a blue box. I froze, my hand in mid reach for the box.

Have you ever had one of those moments when you're trying to think of something, but you can't exactly put a name to it? Where it's not until later, after it doesn't really matter anymore what you were trying to think of earlier, that you remember? Where you just want to slap yourself across the forehead and let out a long, "Oh yeah!" once you remember? Well, this was one of those moments.

The odd mood swings, the puking one minute and feeling fine the next, always being hungry and tired, finally all made sense. You would think that since I've been pregnant once, I would know when I was pregnant again. But there was a problem. I shouldn't be pregnant. Vampires can't have children. I can't be pregnant.

I started counting backwards, and then counting a second time. Each time I came up five days late. I had been pregnant before, so I knew this was no normal pregnancy. If I was only five days late and Edward and I only had sex again for the first time only a little over two weeks ago, I shouldn't be this pregnant. I was almost three months pregnant with Sophie when I first starting showing signs of being pregnant.

With that thought, I walked to the full body mirror behind the door, yanking up the shirt.

If I didn't think I was pregnant before, I was definitely thinking that now.

As I looked at my stomach in the mirror, I saw a surprisingly and familiar bump dominating my stomach. I turned to the side, just to make sure I wasn't seeing things. But there was no doubt anymore. I was pregnant.

As if to make itself known, I felt a little nudge against my resting hand. From inside my stomach.

I gasped, ripping my hand away immediately, completely out of shock. Without thinking, I rested my hand back on my stomach, thinking towards the little baby inside of me to do it again. Just to make sure I wasn't imagining that either. As if it heard me, I felt a nudge against my hand again.

Tears sprang to my eyes, out of complete happiness. Edward and I were going to have another baby.

Pulling my shirt down, I grabbed the box of tampons and headed to the kitchen. Edward was there, just finishing up on my eggs. He turned to me, giving me a wary look.

"Bella, what took so long?" he asked.

I couldn't find my voice, considering I was still in complete shock. So instead, I help up the box. Edward raised an eyebrow in question.

"What, you're trying to pass this off as PMS?" he asked.

"No," I said, finding my voice. "No, what I'm trying to tell you is I'm five days late."

He still wasn't following.

"I don't have food poisoning," I said, trying to hint at him.

It took him a minute of complete confusion, until something clicked. His eyes widened, as if in alarm and complete horror. He immediately started to shake his head.

"No, no way. Vampires can't have children, Bella. I'm sorry, I wish I could give you that but I can't. You're not pregnant," he said, sounding like he was trying to convince himself more than me.

My anger flared up slightly.

"Oh yeah? Then what do you call this?" I said, yanking up my shirt for him to see the bump. "Because I'm pretty sure that wasn't there yesterday."

Edward's eyes widened even more, if that was possible, and a gasp escaped his lips. He was in front of me suddenly, making me jump in the slightest.

"Impossible," he said, staring at my bump.

"It's real, Edward. We're having another baby," I said, taking his cold hand and laying it on my tiny bump.

As if recognizing its father's touch, the baby nudged me again. I knew Edward felt it, because he gasped again. Before I could realize what was happening, Edward was gone, along with his hand. I looked around in shock, until I heard a commotion in the bedroom. I walked in to see Edward a complete blur, our clothes disappearing every time the blur passed by them.

"What are you doing?" I asked.

Edward stopped in front of me, holding out some clothes to me. He didn't look me in the eye as he did this.

"We're going home."

I stared at him in shock as he began to blur around the room again.

"But I don't want to go home yet," I tried to argue.

Edward stopped and turned to me.

"Bella, we're going home so I can fix this mistake I've created," he growled.

I gasped in complete shock and pain. Never had Edward ever said something so cruel before.

"You think our baby is a mistake?" I asked, tears springing to my eyes.

"That is not a baby, Bella. It's a monster, just like me. We need to get it out of you before it kills you," he said, zipping up my suitcase.

I wrapped my arms protectively around my stomach. I refused to let him kill my baby. I didn't care if he wanted this baby or not. I wanted it, and he would not take it away from me.

"You will not touch me or this baby," I growled, throwing the clothes he handed me at him.

His eyes widened, before they darkened.

"Isabella," he was truly angry now. He never used my full name. "You do not understand how dangerous this thing is! I am not going to lose you to some monster created by me! I won't let Sophie lose you to some monster that will do nothing but suck the life from you! Do not ask me stand by and allow that, because I will not!"

My anger disappeared and was replaced with complete and utter heartbreak. All I could think about was Sammie, how I held him as he died in my arms the day he was born. I promised myself that day that if I ever had any more children, I would be the most cautious pregnant lady to walk the face of the earth. I wouldn't let myself lose another baby. And now Edward wanted me to get rid of this one, because it was half vampire? I couldn't do that. Not without feeling I betrayed Sammie in the process. I couldn't lose another baby, I wouldn't.

I slowly slid down to my knees, covering my face in my hands and releasing my sobs. I felt cold arms wrap around me, trying to comfort me. It didn't help.

"Ssh, Bella. It'll be alright, I promise. I hate seeing you cry. If you want to have children, then you can have as many as you want. Just not this baby, Bella. It's a monster like me. There's no telling what it will do to you. I can't lose you, Bella," Edward said into my hair.

He had to know how I felt. He had to know I couldn't let him get rid of this baby in fear.

"I can't, Edward. I can't let you do that. This baby is a part of me and you. I can't lose another baby. Please don't make me," I said, looking into his eyes.

I knew I finally broke him there. His eyes widened with tears that would never shed. He groaned and cried tearless sobs.

"Why are you doing this to me?" he said in a broken voice.

I hugged him to me, laying his head on my chest. I ran my fingers through his hair in comfort.

"It'll be alright. I'll be okay. I'll keep my heart beating, for you. For Sophie and for this baby. We're going to be okay," I whispered into his ear.

After a few minutes, his sobs stopped and he pulled away, reaching into his pocket and pulling out his phone.

"Who are you calling?" I asked.

"Carlisle. We need to go home so we can get the best care for you while you're….pregnant. I'm not taking any chances," he said, not meeting my eyes.

I nodded. At least he wasn't forcing me to give up my baby anymore. I stood up and followed Edward into the bedroom. He pointed to the clothes, silently telling me to get dressed as he dialed the numbers on the phone.

As I got dressed, I heard a buzz of a voice on the other line of the phone.

"Carlisle, we're coming home. Bella's pregnant," Edward said, his back turned to me.

There was another buzz on the other line before Edward turned to face me, looking deep in my eyes.

Answering Carlisle, he said with a broken whisper, "We're keeping the baby."

Okayyyyy, so I know I haven't literally updated since last year. Hehe, get it? It was 2011 when I last updated and now it's 2012...*awkward silence* tough crowd. Eeeeeeeenyways, so a lot of you have guessed that Edward would get Bella knocked up again with the vampire baby. Someone of you have guessed on who the baby would be, and others have gotten great ideas on who it would be. I'm not telling who it is or what she is having. You'll just have to see sooooooon! I know I'm evil. The beauty of teasers and cliff hangers. Well, I hope to have another chapter up very soon. It will not take as long as this one did to get out. I needed a very much needed break. I have to story completely planned out. Since it took me so long to get this chapter out, I made it over 3000 words! Be happy! I figured yall deserved it since I made yall wait sooooo long. So anyways, review and enjoy! Hope to have the next chapter up soon! Can you believe I'm almost done? *wipes tear* I don't know what I'll do when I know longer have to stress on what the hell I'm going to write for this story. I'll probably just do little random one-shots and finish my other story "Alternate Eclipse." Now I'm just rambling. Click that little button at the bottom, and NO I DO NOT MEAN THE ADD TO FAVORITES BUTTON. Although that would be nice for my new readers. :) I mean the REVIEW button. It would also be nice to click the Add Aurthor to Favorites button also. Just saying. Peace suckkkkas!
