Still July 12th

Bella stood there staring at the woman and Edward. She did not know what to think. She was beyond tired and worried about Jacob. She wondered what was going to happen next.

"Bella are you okay?" Edward asked her. He was worried about; she had not spoke a word for a while.

"Huh," Bella said slowly. She had forgotten to speak. Her mind was elsewhere. It was more with Jacob, because she feared he would not make it out. She was blaming herself, because he brought her here to impress her and he knew how much she loved New Orléans and the South. She looked down at her clothes and sighed loudly. She wanted to cry, her dress had been ripped and torn. She was betting her make-up was smeared, she had been crying non-stop. She was not wearing her heels any more and the only two things that were the same, was her jewelry. "I am worried and scared." Bella cried. She looked up them and Edward's heart broke, his mate was in pain and he did not know how to fix it. He slowly made his way over to Bella, wrapping his arms around her. He pulled her in close and kissed the top of her head. She buried her head into his chest and let herself cry more. After several minutes, Avelina was the first to speak.

"Come here dear," Avelina said with her arms open. Bella peaked out from around Edward's body and looked at the woman standing beside the couch. Bella did not want to leave Edward's side, she missed him so much and he was only thing she truly knew. "Edward go make her something to eat…she needs to keep up her energy." Avelina said while staring at Edward. She was trying to get him to leave her and Bella alone for a few minutes.

"I want to stay with her." Edward growled, while wrapping his arms tighter around Bella. He did not want to leave his mates side, she was pregnant with his child and he wanted to do everything in his power to protect them. To a point he was not thinking straight and he also feared that Avelina would tell Bella that she was pregnant.

"Please stay," Bella begged. Her voice sounded hoarse. "I don't want you to leave me."

"Why don't you," Edward growled more. "You don't need to talk to her." Edward hissed out the last part.

"Don't test me Edward," Avelina said calmly. "I can make you do you it and you know I can." Edward sighed and pinched the bridge of his nose. He knew there was no reason to test Avelina, she was strong of her kind and could make you do about anything she wanted.

"Bella…Princess," Edward said while helping Bella over to one of the couches. "Sit," He said while helping Bella sit down on the couch. "I will be right back…do you have anything in mind?" Edward asked. He would do anything for her; he knew that the moment he saw in the cell.

"What are you talking about?" Bella asked with a worried tone. She was so scared that he would leave her.

"What do you want to eat dear?" Avelina asked.

"Oh…I am fine," Bella said while dismissing the idea. Bella wanted to scream at the looks they were giving her, she could tell they did not believe her. "Really." She said loudly.

"You have to eat." Edward said while coaching her to eat.

"No…I am fine Edward," Bella said while crossing her arms across her chest. "Just sit with me." Bella begged.

"You have to eat." Edward snapped this time and Bella cowered, she was confused at why he was getting mad at her. He hated making her scared, but he was worried about her and he did not want her or the baby to starve.

"Just make her a sandwich." Avelina said while pushing Edward into the kitchen. Bella slouched, her whole body ached and she was tired. "Dear tell what causes you so much worry?" Avelina asked.

"I am worried for my friend." Bella said while wiping at her eyes, she not noticed she had been crying.

"Your friend will need you when they find him…but for now…he is as good as it gets." Avelina spoke softly.

"So he's in pain?" Bella questioned. It made her heart ache more; she did not want him to be hurt.

"Dear," Avelina began while looking at Bella's tired body. "You will find him and he will he need you." Avelina spoke in riddles and it was beginning to make Bella made, because she was confused and just wanted the woman to tell her flat-out what was happening.

"I feel horrible…I don't know who to trust and what to do." Bella explained, while crying more. She really did not know who to trust or what to do. She just knew people expected her to do something great.

"You will be okay…I have seen you with your soul mate, or other half…and your child…you will be happy," Avelina said while smiling. She had already seen Bella's future and what the child she carried looked like. The child was going to be very beautiful and would everything their world needed to survive. "But dear…there will be a lot of heart ache, but I have seen your end result and your happy."

"I don't know if I can," Bella cried. "What makes me so damn special," Bella yelled. "And the doctors said it would be hard for me to conceive again." Bella rambled.

"Your special…because you are the first of your kind and your womb holds a brighter future…don't listen to the doctors, "Avelina chuckled at the last part, confusing Bella. "They don't know what they speak of." Avelina said while smiling. "This child will bring trouble before it's even born," Avelina laughed. She knew what trouble the little one would bring and how it would affect its parents, mostly its father. "But it will bring so much hope and happiest, it will over ride everything else, nothing else will matter…I know your past dear and how it shapes your views now…but don't them affect the way you will love this child." Avelina explained.

"Do you know everything?" Bella bit out. She hated that her life was planned out for her.

"Not everything…we are just linked." Avelina said with a smile.

"What do you mean we are linked?" Bella asked. She worried what the woman would tell her.

"I was there when you were born." Avelina said while taking a seat on the couch opposite of the Bella was sitting on.

"Mother never told me about that…she only said Elena was there." Bella explained.

"Elena brought me with her…incases something was wrong with you…your mother she did not know," Avelina explained. "I dressed up as a nurse and when the doctor handed you off to me…I made sure to open a link with you."

"Why?" Bella asked.

"Because I needed to know where you were at all times." Avelina explained.

"So you have been spying on me?" Bella wanted to cry.

"No…of course not dear…I only know when you're in danger or when you're sad." Avelina said with a smile.

"Then why didn't you help me…when they me locked up?" Bella cried. At this moment, Edward chose to walk back into the room, carrying a plate that had a sandwich on it and a glass of water.

"Here." He said while placing the plate on the coffee table, with the drink beside it.

"Thanks." Bella said with a smile. Edward took the seat beside her and threw one of his arms around her shoulder, while smiling at her.

"Anything for you." Edward said with a grin. Bella began to blush badly. "So what were you to talking about?"

"She was just asking how her friend was doing and I was just explaining he will be fine." Avelina said with a smile.

"Is that right Bella?" Edward asked her.

"Yeah and she should told me how we have been linked since the day I have been born…so she been spying on me." Bella bit out. She was not happy that this woman had spied on her and didn't even think of helping her.

"Bella…I could not help you," Avelina tried to explain. She knew what Bella was thinking. "It's the way it had to be…you had to be there to meet Edward…everything has a plan." Avelina said while trying to give anything out.

"You speak in riddles…I don't understand." Bella cried. Edward brought her closer to him. He wanted to make her happy, but was not sure were to begin.

"I cannot tell you everything Bella…that would change things," Avelina said. "Once you know your future and who you will end up with…you might try to change it and it does not need to be changed…right now, everything is going has planned."

"So I have to go around blindly...not know anything, while you know everything, how is that fair." Bella hissed.

"No…you will have three people who will help you through this." Avelina explained. "Now why don't we get some rest…its still late." Avelina said while standing.

"I am not tired." Bella said while taking a bite of her sandwich. She only had a few bites left of her sandwich to eat.

"You need your rest." Edward said while standing a stretching. "The mutts pack should be here tomorrow and then everything will be planned out."

"Edward…I don't want to go to sleep yet." Bella said while hitting Edward's hands that snaked around her waist. He lifted her up and threw her over his shoulder, being careful not to hurt her. "Put me don't Edward." Bella yelled. She was beyond annoyed with his childish acts. She just wanted to finish her sandwich and then to go find Jacob.

"Do you still have that sleeping potion Ave?" Edward asked.

"Yes…I will go get a drop." Avelina said while leaving the room chuckling at Bella hitting Edward's back, while he smacked her back.

"Don't smack me." Bella said in a deadly tone.

"Then quit hitting me." Edward laughed while carrying her up the steps and to the room they would be sleeping in.

"You're like one of those cavemen…when you don't get your way, lets just throw the person over your shoulder." Bella growled, making Edward chuckle.

"Princess," Edward laughed and placed her down on the bed. "Lets leave the growling to the men." Edward said while taking his shirt off, leaving him in his pants. He took a seat beside her on the bed and began to take his shoes off.

"You make me so mad." Bella growled more. Avelina quickly walked into the room, carrying a vile of green liquid. "What is that?" Bella asked while pointing at the liquid.

"It's a sleeping potion…it will help you sleep dear." Avelina said with a smile. "My own special brew."

"I am not taking that." Bella hissed.
"Don't make shove it down your throat Princess." Edward said while hissing at her, but at the same time, he was grinning. Bella began to inch further away from him.

"Here you go…bottoms up." Avelina said while handing Bella the vile, but she still refused to take it. Edward was quick at grabbing it out of Avelina's hand and opening Bella's mouth. Before Bella knew what was happening, she was slowing the nasty green liquid. When he stepped away from her, handing the vile back to Avelina. He could see Bella glaring at him; she looked like she wanted to kill him. He laughed when her eyes began to close and she fell backwards on the bed. She was out cold and he was beginning to smirk at her.

"I think everything good now…you can leave." Edward said while dismissing the old woman. He did not what her near Bella at this moment, he was planning on changing Bella's clothes and only wanted his eyes to see her naked.

"Edward…you need to tell her or I will." Avelina threatened. Edward began to growl her,

"I said leave me and my mate."

"Don't growl at me…I will put you down," Avelina said while standing her ground. "She won't wake for a bit…so you can get some sleep and the baby is strong…I can feel its presence already." Avelina said before leaving the room. Edward felt a tinge of feeling bad that he spoken poorly to the witch, but he wanted time with his unconscious mate. He slowly began to slide the dirty and torn dress down her beautiful body. She was only wearing a pair of underwear and it took everything in his power not do wicked things to her. He kissed her neck softly and removed her jewelry. He began untie her hair. It fell in loose curls. He removed her dirty underwear and took a long look at her naked body before him. She was everything to him, so pure and beautiful. He pulled out one of his larger shirts and a pair of his boxer shorts. He did not need her getting mad at him for leaving her naked. He placed her arms through the sleeves of the shirt. He could her hear sigh in her sleep; he could have sworn that she said his name, but he was not sure. She looked peaceful sleeping. Before pulling the shirt completely down, he placed a light kiss on her flat stomach.

"This is your daddy little one," Edward said with a smile. "Your mommy doesn't know it…but I promise you that I will protect you and make sure that you and mommy are safe and cared for." Edward whispered against her smooth skin. He kissed her stomach again and pulled the shirt down while also pulling the boxers over her hips. He pulled the blankets over her body and smiled at her. He changed into a pair of sweat shorts and climbed in beside her. Before his head could hit the pillow, he felt her place her head on his chest and wrap her arms around his body. He smiled knowing that in her unconscious mind she accepted him has her mate and that she wanted him. Now the only thing to do was get her to accept him when she was wake, he hoped the child would help her decide or he did not know what he was doing.
