How to Save a Life

by bexie25

Step one you say we need to talk, he walks you say sit down, it's just a talk. He smiles politely back at you. You stare politely right on through. Meeting on a bus, Edward and Bella are immediately attracted to each other but their gloomy, abuse-ridden pasts make them both hesitant to trust anyone. Follow them as Bella learns not only how to save a life, but hers is saved as well.

359. Chapter 357

For a second there, I think he's going to shout, or scream or… something.

I don't know. All I know is that I'm not afraid because… well, I know how Edward feels about me.

I sigh. "I'm sorry. I'm just… hormonal and I don't like the way I look right now… I just feel like I'm…" I dread saying that last word, so I trail off, looking away and biting my lip.

Edward sighs too and then, suddenly, one warm hand is cupping my face. "Baby?"

I lock my jaw and close my eyes. As irrational as it is, I feel as if I'm about to cry.

Fucking hormones.

"Bella… you're beautiful." Edward says and then I can't feel him anymore. I don't move for several minutes, even as I feel him move off the bed.

In fact, I don't move until I hear something clunk, hitting the ground.

Some of your reviews have honestly made me laugh out loud.

I'm not calling the baby girl Renesmee… rather a nickname of that… and not the Lockness Monster one either, though it is close. Think a move… normal one, I suppose. Don't worry, that name is reserved for supernatural fics only!

Review what you think it is!
