Edward's POV:

Carlisle, Bella and I were in Carlisle's office, he and Kellan turned it into a medical room for Bella. We were looking at Bella's x-rays and it wasn't looking well.  

"Your rib is cracked but there aren't any splinters. You haven't puncture anything" Carlisle tells Bella.

"Yet" I commented.  

Can she not see that it's killing her. That this thing is taking away my Bella. 

"Edward," Carlisle says but I look at Bella.

"It's breaking her bones now. It's crushing you from the inside out. Carlisle tells her what you told me and Amelia. Tell her." I tell him. She needs to know, she needs to know what it's doing to her.

"Carlisle you can tell me. It's alright" Bella says to him. You can barely hear her voice, from how weak she is. Carlisle sighs and turns to her.

"The fetus isn't compatible with your body. It's too strong. It's wont to allow you to get the nutrition you need. It's starving you by the hour. I can't stop it and I can't slow it down. At this rate, your heart will give out before you can deliver." Carlisle informs her. 

"What does Amelia say?" Bell asked Carlisle.

"She says that you'll make it," Carlisle says. Amelia has always seen the brighter side of things even though most of the time, things always went south. 

"Then she's right. I'll hold on as long as I can then..." 

"Bella, there are some conditions that even venom can't overcome. You understand? I'm sorry" Carlisle says before leaving Bella and me.

"Edward I'm sorry," Bella said. 

I shake my head. "I can't live without you,"I tell her as I look out the window.

"You won't. You'll have Amelia and our baby. You're gonna have a part of me. He'll need you." Bell says with tears in her eyes.

"Do you honestly think that I would love it or even tolerate it if it killed you?" I asked her. 

"Amelia will be there to help you. She'll be there to help you love him. It's not his fault. You have to accept what is." She tells me. I got angry, I couldn't accept that she decided to leave me with this thing, never.

"Because you have given me no choice. Mother was right, we're supposed to be partners, remember? But you decided to leave me, your husband. You decided to leave her, our mother, your best friend, the only person who has been there for you. You're leaving us." I yell at her, hoping she'll change her mind.

"Don't see it that way" she calmly says. 

"I have no other way to see it 'cause it's me and Amelia who are losing you. And I don't choose that and I know she doesn't either. You don't know what's this is doing to me or her, Bella. You think she's okay but she's not. I don't choose to lose you." I said before leaving her in the room. 

As I walk out of the room, Rose goes inside. I walk outside the house taking a moment to think to breathe, progress what will happen. I hear Amelia come outside, she leans on the railing and stays here with me without saying anything. 

"Yell at me if you want, I don't care,"I tell her after a few minutes in silence. I turn to look at her and she's smiling.

"I'm not going to yell at you... might call you some names but not yell," she says smiling at me. 

I smile at her, she has been my favorite from the beginning. She's good for my father, he's so calm and patient and she isn't. They're so the opposite and yet they're perfect for each other. She's has brought a new feeling in this house, she was the missing piece in our family. 

I see her turn to look at the trees, I was still staring at her. I still can not fully read her mind, it's still like whispers but they're a little louder than she was human. I see her sigh.

"Did you know I never wanted to be a vampire?" she asked me. I was shocked, she didn't want to?

"But of course that was before I found out that Carlisle was my mate." Another silence.

"All this being a vampire was Bella, she wanted you, she wanted to know more about you and your family. And of course, I just went along for the ride never expecting to have a mate. Especially the handsome Dr. Cullen." Amelia laughs a little, maybe from her memory of meeting Carlisle. 

"I wanted a normal life, maybe with a nice man who would work and I would stay at home. Cooking, cleaning doing the house chores, basically being a housewife. I wanted many kids running around the front yard. I wanted to hear my own children's laughter. I wanted to feel them grow inside of me. Feel their kicks, their movements just to feel them. I wanted to experience the whole moody swings, the late cravings, and the awful pregnant clothes. I wanted the whole packages. However, Isabella didn't want any of that. If she could have you than her world was perfect. You are her world, Edward. She will make it-" 

"What if she doesn't?" I asked.

"Then you have no faith in your wife... or yourself."

"I don't want to lose her,"I tell her.

"You have a chance that none of us can ever have. You can be a father, a husband, and a supporter........ When she and the baby make it and when your baby ask you if you were happy when Bella found out she was expecting. What are you going to say? That the moment you found out that Bella was pregnant you wanted to kill the baby? That every moment you spend you wanted to remove her from her mother? Or are you going to say that you were shocked at first but later on you were supporting your wife? Are you going to say that you and Bella were arguing the entire pregnancy? Or are you going to say that you held your wife close and supported her? Didn't you guys make a vow? In sickness and in health. Bella's sick right now and you're not there. Help your wife, help your child, and help yourself."

"Think about it, Edward," Amelia said as she left me to think by myself. 

I was outside for a couple of hours, thinking of what my mother said. Later on, I went inside to look for Bella. She was upstairs with Rose and Amelia, they were getting Bella ready for her bath. I walked into the room, seeing Bella nake, she didn't look the same. She was all bones, she was a walking skeleton. Amelia comes from the bath and turns to look at me. She gives me a sad smile and takes Bella away to bath her.

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~'

It was night time and everyone was sitting in the living room. Bella was laying down on the couch with her head on Amelia's lap. I was behind the couch. 

"Are you cold?" Amelia asks her. 

"Mmm," Bella nods. 

Amelia looks at Jake. "I got it," he says moving towards them. Amelia gently gets up and Jake took her place. Amelia came around the couch so she standing next to me. She puts her left hand on my shoulder, fully knowing I don't like when he's near Bella.

"Don't do that" Jake says looking at Bella and she frowns.

"What?" she asked.

"Smile at me like I'm your favorite person in the world," he says making me tighten my fists. 

"You're one of them. It feels complete when you're here, Jake." Bella says before she throws up. I went over to her, giving her a bucket. Suddenly Amelia laughs a little.

"She lied." She says and we all look at her confused.

"What? She wouldn't have thrown up if she wasn't lying" she smirks at Jake. 

"Shut up," he says rolling his eyes at her. 

Jake was rubbing her back and I was holding her hair up. Bella was gasping and nothing would come out. She went back to the couch. I moved back to Amelia's side and she held my hand for comfort. 

"We need to find a way to get food into her system," Esme says looking at Bella.

"If I could only see the fetus..." Alice begins to say.

"The baby" Rose interrupts her.

"Maybe I could figure out what it wants" Alice finished, ignoring Rose comment. 

MAYBE IT WANTS SOMETHING TO FEED ON, Jakes thinks.

"I think you might be right. Jake just had an idea," I say making everyone turn to him. 

"It wasn't an idea, more like a snide comment" Jake smirks and Amelia hits the back of his head. He glares at her and I smirk. 

"What were you thinking?" Carlisle asks smiling at Amelia.

"That it's probably just looking for someone to sink its teeth into," Jake said ducking from Amelia's swing. But she didn't hit him but grabbed him and kissed his cheeks.

"You bloody idiot of a genius. She's hungry." Amelia says smiling at him. 

"He's thirsty" Bella states and we nod.

"I know the feeling" Emmett pointed out, rubbing his throat. 

"If it's- ... if she's craving then it's not gonna want animal blood" Jasper changes the word once Amelia looks at him. 

"I have some O-negative laid aside for Bella," Carlisle says walking to his office to get the blood. 

Everyone leaves besides, Amelia, Jake, and I stay with Bella. We all haven't feed and smelling human blood isn't a good idea. I look at Amelia.

"Are you sure you can handle it?" I asked her. She looks offended.

"Yes, I'm positive and besides who will stop you and Jake from bitching?" she smirks at me and I playfully glare at her. 

Carlisle came in pouring the blood into a cup. And Bella looks at it. 

"Wait, wait, wait. You're really going to make her drink that?" Jake asked Carlisle. 

"It's the fast way to test the theory," Carlisle says to Jake.

"And besides it's was your snotting comment" Amelia pointed out, smirking at Jake. He rolls his eyes and turns to Bella.

"Only if you're comfortable with it,"I tell Bella.

"I'll try anything," she says to me. 

"Wait! Hold up a minute," Amelia says walking to Carlisle. Taking the cup from her she walks back to the kitchen.

"I think I'm going to be sick" Jake comments.

Amelia came back with a styrofoam cup. 

"This might make it a little easier to drink," Amelia says giving Bella the cup. 

Bella took the cup nervously and was about to drink it until Amelia squeaked.

"Ewww," Amelia says making a disgusted face.

"What?" Bella asked.

"You're actually going to drink that?" Amelia says, making Bella roll her eyes.

"Wait, don't you think this?" Jake says.

"No honey, I drink animal blood. There's a huge difference and besides Bella's human and I'm a vampire. I can't imagine a human drinking another human's blood." Amelia says walking over to sit on Carlisle's lap.

Bella put the straw in her mouth and began to suck. We were all looking at her intensely and I really believe Jake was going to be sick.

"It tastes....... good," Bella says before taking another slip.

"I can hear your pulse getting stronger," Carlisle says rubbing Amelia's arm. 

"It's working" Amelia happily says. 

"Yeah, I'm sick" Jake comments.

"Hey this is practice but hopefully you and the baby won't be addicted to human blood," Amelia says worriedly.

"No we're good," Bella says looking at Amelia and they both smile that Jake's theory works.  

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

It's been days and everything has been getting better. Bella has been getting her color back. I was in the kitchen with Amelia listening to Bella talk with her father. 

"Why don't you go over there?" I ask Amelia. 

"Because whenever I go, one of the boys will be there waiting. They don't talk to me all they do is stare. It's like I don't matter to them." Amelia says looking down. 

"Hey it'll be alright," I say, walking over to hug her. 

She hugs me back and we stay like that for a while. We hear Bella click the phone and Amelia pulls away. 

"Go, she needs you," she says giving me the cup of blood. 

I hug Amelia one last time before heading to Bella. I saw Bella holding the phone with her eyes closed. I put the cup on the table before kneeling next to her. 

"I'm sorry for being so angry," I tell Bella as I grab her hands.

"I would be too," she says. 

"I left you alone in this," I tell her and her holds tighten.

"Marriage" she smirks and laughs. 

"Well, they say the first year is the hardest....... wait what was that?" I ask. I thought I hear someone laugh.

"What?" Bell asked looking around.

"I thought I heard something.." I say as I put my hand on her stomach. 

"Like what?" she says looking at her stomach.

I LIKE HER VOICE, a tiny voice said.  I start to laugh, it's my child talking. 

"Edward, what's going on?" Bella asked making the tiny voice laugh.

"He likes the sound of your voice,"I tell her.

"What... what do you hear," she asked getting it up a little bit.

"It's so strange. I thought he was like me, but he's not. He's more like you good and pure. He's happy" I tell her making her smile.

"Of course she's happy. How could she not? She has a lot of people already loving her and protecting her." Amelia says from the doorway.

"Amelia come. Edward can hear him" Bella says making Amelia smile.

"Yeah hear it from the kitchen," she says sitting next to Bella.

"He likes your voice too," I tell Amelia and she smiles.

"Well, I do have a pretty good voice," Amelia says and the three of us laughs. 

Amelia looks at Bella's stomach and this the first time I actually paid attention to her stare. It was a wanting one, a longing look she was staring at Bella's stomach like it was the best thing in the world. For the first time, I really understood what she meant back in then. Bella and I have a chance to be parents. We weren't really didn't think about having a family and here is Amelia, Emse, and Rose who wants to have kids. Who wants to have a family but can not. 

I have been acting selfish and greedy, only thinking about myself while Amelia has been thinking about everyone else besides her. I feel ashamed, she has given so much and yet she doesn't ask for anything. I stare at Amelia and held her hand.

"I"m sorry," I tell her. Amelia looks at me for a while and then smiles.

"It's okay, we're all good. Always been. Now let's talk to my adorable grandchild" Amelia says happily.

"Grandchild?" I asked raising my eyebrow at her.

"Well I'm your mother so might as well get used to being calling mother and grandmother," Amelia says shrugging her shoulders. 

Bella and I laugh at her and she pouts. We start to talk about many things and at that moment I made some silent promises to Amelia. I promise to not look at things negatively and start to look at things like Amelia sees them. To always look for the bright side of things. I promise to love my child with all my cold, dead heart and to protect him or her from the world. And I promise to Amelia to never again go against her because she's my mother and a mother knows best.
