AN: I won't lie, I'm a little disappointed and upset about not getting any reviews because I didn't think the last chapter was too bad. I actually read over all the chapters to figure out what I was doing wrong. I must suck at writing... bad.

I actually cried when I saw that I got no reviews. LOL, I'm a wuss, I know you're all thinking it!

Anyway I've set out on a quest to make my story better and I'm thinking of doing a short story in a few weeks, just to even this on out. I've estimated about 67 chapters for this story, if anyone will stay that long, LOL! Anyway enjoy and hopefully REVIEW!

Chapter 13: Won't let go.

Hero, (I figured after all that happened in the last chapter we could do Hero at least once before she leaves for Volterra.)

"You're going to be 15 years old when you have the baby, you're only 14 now Hero, you don't have long Hero, have you thought about it." Jasper said.

I glared at him and went back to packing my bag.

"Shut up Jasper, leave her alone, it's bad enough she has to leave, she doesn't need your big mouth adding to her problems." Rosalie growled, chucking one of my cushions at him.

In the past few weeks, Rosalie had become fiercely protective of me and surprisingly we had a lot in common. Her immortality had not been a choice and she was crushed when she found out she couldn't have children and now she was pretty much nice to anyone who was expecting. I don't think Rosalie actually likes me but it just felt good to have someone on my side.

I heard the sound of Esme's Jimmy Choos coming up the stairs. She had changed quite a bit in the past few weeks. Her beautiful caramel hair was now always packed tightly away from her face, which always seemed to have an on edge look. But today her hair was down in its normal curly waves, her face looked beautiful, her lips were painted a light pink. She had a Knee – length vintage cream dress and matching Jimmy Choos. Her fingers were painted the same colour as her dress and she was even wearing her diamond anniversary ring. These Volturi people were obviously important if Esme was trying to impress them.

"We have to get you to your appointment before we leave for the airport, you look nice sweetie." Esme smiled. She was wringing her hands together as if she was afraid I would snap at her but I was never mad at Esme, in a way, I kind of understood her decision.

I looked ok, I suppose.

I was wearing a pure white designer John Rocha dress that flowed about mid- thigh. To top it off I was finished in a pair of yellow Christian Loboutin heels and a gold necklace with a silver heart. If you haven't got it yet, Alice dressed me.

I nodded and picked up my carry on silently, my other 3 suitcases were in Esme's Toyota.

Everyone was coming to the hospital with me and then to the airport, for support, Bella was ill and couldn't make it. She regrets it but I'm not angry with her. Last night, she snuck into my room at midnight and we held each other and we talked, shared and cried. I think Carlisle and Esme knew she was with me but they didn't press it, they both knew that Bella and I needed our time to share.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXI swung my legs over the hospital bed in boredom, while my family sat around me.

The doctor came in, she was about middle aged with Red hair and green eyes, she grinned at us.

"Hello, I'm Doctor Norton and I heard you are pregnant, so we'll just check to see if the baby is ok and see how far along you are, ok?"

I nodded.

"This will be cold." She mumbled as she rubbed the gel over my tummy. I didn't even flinch and she smiled again.

"Brave girl." She muttered to herself, probably thinking I wouldn't hear it.

Suddenly the sound of a heartbeat filled the room. My baby.

I could feel the moisture pool in my eyes as I listened to the sound. Slow, steady and perfect.

"There's your baby." Esme whispered, squeezing my hand. Rosalie and Alice grinned at me, even Edward, Jasper and Emmett looked a little in awe.

Suddenly the sound cut off and my mind filled with panic as I looked at the doctor.

She laughed. "Don't look so worried sweetheart, I just turned it off."

I calmed down a little bit but I was still shaking.

"Ok, you are about 10 weeks along now and you will need check- ups regularly. You will be able to have an ultra- scan soon and you can find out the sex of the baby of you want, words of advice, stay relaxed, don't get your blood pressure high, no worrying, limited crying and try not to kill anybody when the hormones start raging." Dr Norton concluded.

The whole room laughed at the last part, even I cracked a smile.

XXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXXX"This is it." I mumbled as we stood in the airport, my plane was due in 3 minutes.

"I love you, always remember that." Carlisle said as he hugged me and kissed my forehead.

"I haven't known you for long but you seem like a pretty cool gal, stay smooth." Jasper said, in his southern drawl. I giggled.

"I love you." Rosalie murmured stroking my face in a motherly way.

I smiled when Alice threw her tiny arms around me. "Bye Hero and Baby. Baby take care of Hero." She mumbled.

I laughed when Emmett picked me up and swung me around quickly as he peppered my face with kisses. "Love you, little sister."

Edward tugged at my ponytail fondly. "Dog." He grinned.

"Bloodsucker." I grinned back.

"Don't take crap from anyone over there." He muttered.

"I won't." I nodded.

Esme took my hand and began to lead me onto the plane. I heard a shout and looked behind me. I was met with soft, warm lips. Oliver.
