"Let's get you favorite cookies shall we" I told Ryan

After we got back from Paris we came home to an empty pantry. I didn't think the kids could eat so much. Edward had let me go to the grocery store with Ryan while he unpacked. It was after dinner by the time we left because I figured Ryan would fall asleep in the car on the ride home.

"With the sprinkles" he demanded

His speech has improved immensely over the last month. He can almost put all his words together. He was developing faster than Abby was but her development was just normal. I pushed the carriage up and down the aisles gathering everything they would need for the next week or so. I sat Ryan in the front of the carriage where I could keep an eye on him. We used to put him in the little cars but he would grab everything off the shelves.

"Yes with sprinkles. What kind of fruit do you want? Apples, oranges, or bananas?"

"Owange"

"Owanges it is" I laughed

After I grabbed the last couple of things and headed to check out. An old lady smiled at Ryan as I placed the groceries on the counter.

"Aren't you a cutie" she said

"Thank you"

"Do you want a sticker?" she asked

He nodded and she leaned over to place a smiley face sticker on his shirt. He smiled and pointed it to it like it was a present.

"Mommy sticker!"

"I know can you say thank you?"

"Thank you"

Once we were at the car one of the employees helped put all the bags in the trunk while I buckled Ryan into his car seat.

"Have a nice day ma'am"

"Thanks, you too"

I quickly kissed Ryan's cheek and shut the door. I couldn't wait to get home and relax. Not that we didn't relax in Paris, I just wanted to sit at home with my kids.

"Let's go see daddy huh?" I looked at his smiling face in the rear view mirror

"Daddy!" he clapped

I slowly pulled out into traffic and stopped at the red light by the intersection. I looked back at Ryan again to see him smiling out the window but I caught sight of the car two cars behind us speeding. I knew it was going to happen before it did but there was nothing I could do to stop it. I braced myself for impact. As soon as the car hit us my neck snapped forward and back with such force and I saw Ryan's do the same. It was over as quickly as it happened and I couldn't even do anything but sit there. Once I snapped back into it my thoughts went to the baby and my other baby sitting in the back. I ran to the back and yanked the door open. He was crying but didn't look hurt seriously. I carefully pulled him out of his seat.

"Oh my god" I cried hugging him close "Are you okay?"

He was screaming, obviously scared over what just happened. I hated being here by myself. While waiting for the cops to show up I walked him over to the curb and sat him down so I could assess any injuries. When I grabbed hold of his face he turned away, hitting my hand.

"Let mommy make sure you're okay"

While crying he let me look over his body and I didn't see anything too serious. He had a mark from where the seatbelt rubbed against him but he seemed fine, except for being scared.

"You're okay" I told him pulling him into my arms

His hand dug into my back as I walked away from our car. I wiped his tears and rubbed his back soothingly.

"Shh, you're okay" I repeated

"Daddy!" he cried

"I know, I'll call him"

I shakily got up and watched as everyone else emerged from their cars, taking in the damage.

Thankfully my car was the least damaged. The third car in the row was speeding and they bumped into another car which rear ended me. The third car's hood was smashed in and the airbags were deployed.

I was anxious to make the next call but I didn't know what else to do. As soon as I heard his voice I lost it.

"Edward" I cried into the phone "I just got into a car accident"

"What? Are you guys alright? Where are you?"

"I... uh..."

I was so scared and shaken up that I couldn't ever formulate a coherent thought. I could hear the ambulances racing down the street.

"Bella? Where are you?"

"There's an ambulance coming" my voice cracked and I realized I didn't answer his question "I'm in the breakdown lane coming home from the store. I don't know what to do or if Ryan is hurt or…"

"I'm on my way" the line went dead

"Daddy's coming" I chanted over and over to him

"Are you guys alright?" the older man from the car in back of us asked

"I think so, you?"

"We're fine. It could've been a lot worse"

It didn't look like anyone was seriously hurt and the cops were now taking down everyone's information. I was so scared and Ryan was still screaming and I didn't know how to calm him down.

"License and registration please" the cop asked me and I handed him the paperwork "Do you want an ambulance?"

"Yes" I told him, I felt fine but I wasn't a doctor and I wasn't going to take any chances with Ryan.

"They're on their way" the cop said

"Thank you"

Thankfully I saw his Volvo speeding up the road. He looked agitated as he got out, Carlisle with him, and ran over to me. When I saw him I couldn't hold back the tears.

"Daddy!" Ryan called out

He pulled us into a hug, my arms clenched around his back in a death grip. My panic immediately subsided. Still holding onto to me he leaned over to grab his son, checking over his body. Carlisle hovered behind silently examining us.

"Are you alright buddy?" He kissed the top of his head

"Daddy!" he cried over and over

Edward held onto him tightly just like I had done and he rested his head on his shoulder, crying slightly.

"You're alright. Daddy will take care of everything"

"I think he's just scared" I added

"Let's get him over to an ambulance, I want someone to look at him"

We both walked over to the paramedics and Edward lifted him up into it then climbed up after. He refused to let anyone near him unless he could sit in Edward's lap. His crying subsided but I think he was now intrigued by what these people were doing to him.

"He seems perfectly fine" the paramedic told us "I just want to check his vitals and he'll be good to go"

"Are you hurt? Did you hit your head?" Edward asked me

"I don't think so" I thought "My neck hurts though"

Carlisle started checking my eyes and head, feeling for any lumps or bumps.

"Does anything hurt?" he asked

"Just my neck and back" I told him honestly

"Are you dizzy? Is your sight blurry?"

"No" my voice shook again

"Your eyes aren't dilated so no concussion. No bumps, you probably just have whiplash but I want to get a fetal monitor on you to check the baby. Let's get you over to the ambulance"

"Stay with him" I mouthed to my husband

He nodded and Carlisle lead us over to where the paramedics were.

"I need her hooked up to a fetal monitor" Carlisle told them

He picked me up and helped lift me into the ambulance where the paramedics quickly sat me down to hook me up to the monitor.

"Baby sounds good" the paramedic told us "You feel okay otherwise? Nothing hurts?"

"No"

"Well if she feels fine then I don't see a reason to go to the hospital. It doesn't look like the accident was that serious"

We nodded and Edward was now walking over with Ryan leaning against his shoulder. Carlisle thanked them before helping me down. I honestly felt fine, just shaken up and shocked. I was more worried for the baby and Ryan then myself. Edward placed his hand on my back and guided me away from the accident.

"You sure you're okay?"

"Yes" I promised "I think I was more scared for Ryan"

"He's okay. That's the vampire in him"

"Is everything set with the car?" I asked

"I got all their information and the insurance will pay for everything. It's fine to drive and Carlisle will drive it home. I want you and Ryan with me so I'll bring you guys home. Don't worry about anything right now"

He eased Ryan into his seat and double checked his seat belt before giving him a kiss and closing the door. He helped me get in the car and quickly put the car in drive. I leaned my head back against the seat and took a deep breathe.

"How much pain are you in?"

"I'm just sore, I promise" I told him rubbing my neck

He reached over and grabbed my hand, bringing to his lips "You scared me when you called"

"I'm sorry I just didn't know what to do. I was scared and shocked and didn't know what happened or if we were hurt"

"You're okay" he whispered "You're safe"

"I just want to go home"

"I know we're going. I just want to put both of you in bed"

"Me too" I closed my eyes

Once we pulled up to the house I wanted nothing more than to curl up in my warm bed. We didn't get out right away instead he just took the key out of the ignition and rested his head back.

"What's wrong?" I asked

"I just need a minute"

He looked overly stressed and tired for a vampire. I didn't make a noise either but Ryan was still whining in the back, wanting to get out.

"I'm going to get him in bed" I announced unbuckling

"No, I'll do it"

"Are you sure?"

"Yep"

He quickly got his son out of his seat and laid him against his shoulder. He then opened my door without a word.

"Are you mad?"

"I'm fine"

"Then please get the chip off your shoulder"

"Bella, how would you like me to react? You both could've been killed!"

"But we weren't and the accident wasn't even that bad"

"I'm going to put him down and let Esme know she can leave"

I really didn't need this right now but I managed to get into the house without Esme seeing me and climbed into bed and under the sheets. I didn't know if Edward ever came to bed because I fell asleep rather quickly. I hope he did.
