Chapter 56
*EdPOV*
Breakfast had been a trying situation.
I was torn between listening to the what was going on around me and trying to stop myself from launching myself at James, and having my wicked way with him.
Seems he was having the same issue, if his supposedly covert gazes swept over me.
His tongue was worrying his lips every few seconds and memories of said tongue against mine, flooded my head causing me to bite my tongue.
Jesus, Edward, get a grip.
I barely survived and was glad when Bella's parents announced that they were going to go sightseeing and do a bit of shopping.
"You heading home?" I asked Bella.
She looked at me and shook her head, "I think I'm gonna do a bit of shopping myself."
"Oh for Emmett's birthday?" James asked.
"Emmett's birthday is coming up?" she asked, a stunned expression on her face.
James had nodded, "Yeah in about two weeks."
"How did I not know this?" she cried emphatically.
James looked at me and grinned, "I don't know, maybe you were busy focusing on other things."
Bella, as usual, blushed furiously.
"Oh my God, you and Emmett had sex!" I cried. I knew there was something different about her this morning. She was fucking glowing. Of course, I thought that it was just that pregnancy glow, but no. It was the I-got-me-some glow.
"Broadcast it for the world why don't you?" she growled at me.
James was crowing, "Oh man, finally!"
Bella snapped at the two of us, "What, were you two taking bets or something?"
I looked over at James, "Shit, we should've done that."
We gave each other a high-five and chortled at Bella's expense.
Stupid move on our parts.
Her hands moved so quickly we didn't even realize until we both felt the sting of her palm at the back of our heads.
"Grow the fuck up!" she said. "I'm going shopping, see you two dicks later."
We laughed and called out our farewell and then there was two.
I became instantly aware of James standing beside me, the crisp scent of his aftershave tickling my nostrils.
"So um," he began.
"What do..." I said at the same time.
We shared an awkward laugh, "You go first," I said.
"What do you have planned for the rest of the day?" he asked.
I shrugged, "Nothing really, you?"
He looked nervous for a minute and then taking a deep breath he started talking, "I was planning on sourcing parts for a motorcycle I'm trying to put up, and I was wondering if maybe you'd like to help."
Did I want to help?
Did I want to spend the day with him, getting to know him better?
Hell fucking yeah!
"Sounds good," I replied calmly, I didn't want to come across as overly excited, shit, I had a reputation to live up to after all.
James' smile was worth it all, I decided.
Seeing the look of pure happiness on his face put everything else going on in my life on the back burner.
We ended up giving up on the part hunt, as neither of us knew what the hell we were doing.
"It was just an idea," James laughed as I deemed the project a bust.
"A terrible one," I said laughing with him.
We got lunch and talked a bit, neither of us brave enough to bring up the incident. I wasn't too worried about that though, we would get there in time. Time passed quickly and pretty soon we were on our way home.
We were laughing and singing along to some cheesy country music station that James had put on and we almost missed it.
"Looks like there was an accident," James pointed out.
"Think we should stop and check it out?" I asked as he started to slow down.
"Hey doesn't that look like..." his voice trailed off as we pulled up next to the car.
Holy fuck! It was Bella's car!
I was out of the car before it stopped immediately, blood rushing in my ears, I didn't want to panic but this didn't look right.
"B!" I called running around to the driver's side, finding the door open, I bent down and peered in cautiously. I was steeling myself against what I would find, however, I didn't see anything.
Bella wasn't there.
"Is everything ok?" James called, and I heard his door slam and his footsteps heading towards me.
My head was spinning, "S-she's not h-here."
"What do you mean she's not there?" James said, I could hear him typing away on his phone.
"Who are you texting?" I asked leaning further into the car, searching for any clue as to what had happened to my best friend.
"Emmett, and now I'm gonna call the police," came the reply. "Don't touch anything."
I continued my perusal of the car and nearly blacked out when I saw a small pool of blood on the dash board.
Where the hell were the police already?
Headlights illuminated the scene for a bit and then I heard the running feet of Emmett.
"What happened? Where's Bella?" his voice was laced with fear.
I stepped back from the car, visibly shaken and shaking my head, "She's not here."
Emmett was next to me in a split second, "What do you mean she's not here?" he grabbed my shoulders and gave me a shake.
"She's not here," I repeated, tears filling my eyes.
Emmett's hands left my body and I could hear him talking to James, the sound of oncoming sirens in the distance.
Bella was alive, she had to be.
She would fight for her life and she would fight twice as hard for her baby's life.
-TA-
*BPOV*
Fucking hell, my head hurt like a motherfucker.
I tried to open my eyes but they were just too heavy, and damn, did it hurt.
I was lying on something soft and somewhat comfortable, thank goodness for that.
My hands flew to my stomach as Baby gave me a series of swift kicks, and I could've cried in relief.
My baby was ok.
What was that smell?
Something smelt exceptionally sweet, but it was doing a number on my stomach, I felt the urge to throw up violently.
I struggled to get my body up when I heard a soft voice next to me; a male voice. A vaguely familiar voice.
Everything was still too fuzzy and I couldn't grasp what the person was saying.
He held me gently as I emptied my stomach, and then he wiped my mouth and lay me back against the soft pillow. My eyes were still not cooperating and I was beginning to panic.
Were these people going to hurt me and my baby?
Where was Emmett?
Did he notice something was wrong?
I scoffed at that, of course he didn't. I bet he was out somewhere drowning his sorrows between someone else's legs, trying to pay me back for something I didn't do.
My stomach finally settled, and I could feel my head throbbing, where I had been cut.
The guy was talking again, words of comfort I believe.
I couldn't help but think that at least in all this madness, maybe this devil wasn't as bad as the others behind this.
-TA-
*EmPOV*
My world crashed to a screeching halt when I read the text message from James.
Bella's been in an accident. We're ten minutes down the road. Get here now! - James.
I don't know how I didn't get in to an accident myself as I raced down the road, bringing the car to a hard stop, I was out of it in a flash and making my way towards Edward.
She wasn't there.
Bella wasn't there.
Where the fuck was she?
I was so fucking dumb.
It wasn't her in those pictures.
"We fought," I murmured as the sirens got closer.
"What?" Edward said turning to me.
I told them what had happened between Bella and myself, my voice shaky.
I didn't see the attack coming, so when Edward's fist slammed into my face I was completely shocked.
I grabbed my nose and felt the warm blood trickling into my palm.
"Fuck!" I spat.
"And you deserve much more than that you stupid cunt!" Edward shouted.
"Good evening sirs, is there a problem here?" an officer asked from behind us.
James was the spokesperson for us, because let's face it. I was in a shit load of pain, and Edward was too agitated. The officers listened intently and then brought in their detectives to take over the scene.
Turns out there had been another car at the scene, and from the looks of it they had nicked the side of Bella's car before overtaking and coming to a stop a few feet away. There was signs of a struggle around Bella's car, her footprints had been dragging as though she was being taken away against her will.
I couldn't even begin to decipher how this made me feel.
The police escorted us back home and asked a whole bunch of questions, and then instructed us on what to expect during a kidnapping.
I didn't care what they were asking for, if it meant I had to get them the moon to save Bella and our baby, they would get it.
"I hope that when this is over, Bella leaves your ass hanging out to dry," Edward spat as soon as the police left. James sighed and threw back the shot of brandy he had poured for himself. He hadn't said anything to me since I told them what had happened. I could feel the waves of disappointment rolling off of him.
He was ashamed of me.
I was ashamed of myself.
I had to make this right.
But first we had to find Bella and bring her home safely.
One thing was sure, I would have a lot of ass kissing to do all round.
I called Bella's parents and informed them of what had happened, they said they would be there within the hour. I told my parents and I got a sound tongue lashing from my mother about my stupidity, my father pulled me aside and told me he would look into the pictures.
Now all we had to do was wait.
-TA-
*?POV*
I pinched the bridge of my nose, trying not to scream in utter frustration. I could not believe the incompetent fools I had working for me.
"Were you not supposed to drive the car away?" I asked quietly.
The stupid mule of a man before me looked down and fidgeted with his jacket.
"Answer me!" I shrieked slamming my palm against the desk.
He looked up at me, eyes bulging, "Yes Miss."
I nod, "I thought those were my orders, but obviously you and your little crew are intelligently impaired and can not carry out simple instructions."
"Ma'am it happened..." he began.
"I don't give a flying fuck what happened," I said cutting him off. "You were supposed to leave no evidence behind. Jesus, I could've done the whole thing myself if I knew you were going to royally fuck it up like this."
This little slip up could cost me big time, but I had other things to worry about at the moment. "Just get out of my sight," I said dismissing him.
The doctor had left my office ten thousand dollars richer even though he didn't have good news for me.
It was still too early to take the baby from Bella, there was at least another month to go if I wanted the baby to be healthy and able to survive properly. Of course the thought of just getting rid of the little spawn had crossed my mind, but I knew that the baby would be a great bargaining chip to get to Emmett.
Looks like I was going to have a house guest for at least a month.
I'd let the little whore have the baby and then, I'd kill her.
I clapped my hands together gleefully, a smile crossing my lips.
I grabbed my phone and dialed, "Get here now, you have to patch things up between you and James. I need someone on the inside."
I hung up without waiting to hear the reply.
Now to give Mr. McCarty a call.
A/N: *stands on my soap box* *cough* Well lovelies, how goes it? I can sense the murderous thoughts going out towards my little ?POV. Come on can't you tell who it is yet? And who was in with Bella? I gave it away really... :D
Now, again about the negative reviews. If you have an issue with the story, instead of filling my reviews with it just send me a PM. I will reply. Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but I have little tolerance for people who are closed minded and dead set on being negative. Hate me, or have your friends hate me. It's no skin off my back. Your tit can't nurse my baby. That is all. *gets off soap box*
jessa76: Jane is not going to say the baby is hers, because everyone knows she wasn't pregnant, so that's quite impossible. Secondly, Emmett is not dumb enough to even entertain that thought, as for the end of your review...I addressed that in my A/N above.
Sassy Mami: We'll find out soon. And she's gonna get a bit crazier.
Taylor9901: Yes, he had a total noob moment. Yep, he should've listened but come on...he's a man and their first reaction is not to think first...poor things lol Gosh, I could slap him silly.
Siobhan Whitlock: *bows* Thank you, thank you :D
foxylady1on1: LOL crazy train...*snorts* I like that. Glad you enjoyed. :)
sam's-lurker-droid: Thanks babe :D
loonietune: Poor Bella indeed.
manda2784: Smack him! He deserves it. He's a big boy, he can take it. I think Eddie got the first punch but we can add a few more.

Gleemania123: Thanks babe xx

Lalina92: You and me both sister!
lissie boo: Evil? Moi? *bats eye lashes* I have no idea what you're talking about *giggles*
memelovesemmett: Bella will not die (spoiler) and Emmett isn't going to marry the person who put his child in harm's way
Johana: Sí, Emmett es un idiota. Estoy totalmente de acuerdo con usted sobre el corte de garganta. Pues bien, tal vez no sería tan drástico, pero sí, estoy de acuerdo.
Now I'm off to watch Beauty and the Beast on DisneyJr. I LOVE THIS MOVIE! *waves* ~ Riney
