Past Meets Past (2)

Chapter 26

* Sydney *

We'd spent a few days with the Cullens and watched Bella's health fall apart . Nothing really was worth talking about . Just everyone was on edge . I suppose I should probably get to that faithfully day when Renesme was born . 

I woke up in Stefan's arms , looking around the room . I knew the Cullens hadn't fed in days and niether had Stefan . I had alot of control and I didn't need to drink as frequently as most vampires . We walked downstairs hand in hand to see Bella on the couch . Stefan looked down and I looked up at him , just in time for Jacob and Carlisle to walk through the door. Carlisle had Bella's annual cup of blood . Stefan's eyes vamped up and got darker and everyone looked at him . Alice and Jasper got up . 

" Walk with me . " Alice said , leaving the room.

Emmett looked appologetically at Rose and walked out as well . I looked at Stefan and nodded.

" Go on . It's alright . " I said , squeezing his hand .

He looked at the blood and then blurred out somewhere . Everyone looked at me as if I was the next person to leave . I shook my head .

" I'm alright . " I said , crossing my arms as I walked over to Edward , wrapoing my arms around him .

He gave me an appologetic smile and I only shook my head .

"  I said I'm fine . " I said , sternly .

He nodded and then Carlisle sighed . 

" What is it ? " Esme asked from her place in a chair across the room with Rosalie .

" I'm out of blood . Bella could deliver any day . I'll need more blood ." Carlisle said .

" And you need to be at your strongest for her . We need to hunt . " Esme said .

" You can't . Sam's pack will attack you . " Jacob said . 

"We'll take Emmett . " she said. 

" That won't be enough . " Jacob said .

I knew Stefan wouldn't be able to handle being around Bella's blood . There was going to be alot of blood . 

" Take Stefan . He'll need to hunt as well and he can protect you . " I explained .

They looked at me like I was crazy and I sighed .

" You need to go . Bella's going to need you . I can help Edward . " I said , squeezing my best friend's hand .

He looked down at me gratefully as I nodded .

" Alright . We'll go now . I'll go find Emmett . " Carlisle said and Esme got up to go with him .

Stefan walked through the door . I knew he'd heard everything . I pulled him into a hug and kissed him . 

" Go . I'll keep everything alright here . " I said .

He nodded .

" I'll be back , Mrs.Salvatore . I promise . " he said , kissing my forehead before he walked out the door .

I was praying he was right and that he would come back to me .

" Mrs.Salvatore ? " Rosalie asked .

I held up my engagement ring and her jaw dropepd .

"Damn ." Jacob said , shaking his head at my big ring .

I shrugged and looked back at Bella .

" I'm thirsty . " she said .

" There's one more bloodbag Carlisle left in the fridge . " Rose said , going to get it .

She came back and handed it to Bella. Bella went to grab it , but her hand slipped and when she went to grab it , she bent ,causing a crack and a scream.

" Bella ! " Jacob and Edward yelled at the same time . 

She screamed out in pain as Edward grabbed her and took her upstairs with Jacob . Rosalie ran up , following them . I looked at Alice , deciding to stay downstairs and help guard the house from Sam Uley's advancing wolf pack and she noded . We heard alot of screaming and Edward's voice and then finally a baby crying . Rosalie walked out with the bloody baby and walked over to the sink , starting to wash it off . I held my breath until the blood had gone down the sink and then I heard Edward's voice again . 

" Bella ? Bella ! Bella ! Please don't leave me . " In a blurr , I was on the stairs .

Jacob pushed passed me crying and I looked up the stairs , walking into the room to see Edward biting Bella . He waited and waited for what seemed like hours , but I knew to only be moments . I walked into the room and wrapped my arms around him tightly , holding him , but in his anger and rage at himself , he flung me back through the next wall . I blurred back up , angry , but not going to do anything about it . When he saw what he did , he turned around with mournful eyes .

" I-I'm sorry . " he whispered .

I sighed , walking over , pulling him into a tight hug . He cried into my shoulder and held me tightly .

" Shhh ..... " I whispered , just letting him cry .

" Edward !"Alice's voice rang out as I heard the snarls right outside the window .

" I'm not going to let them hurt my family . " he hissed . 

I nodded . 

" I will fight with you . Anywhere . "

He looked down at me and kissed me in the forehead , squeezing my hand .

" Thank you ." he said .

" You're my best friend . I couldn't live without you , darling . " I said .

He smiled a small smile and we walked downstairs and out the door to see the snarling wolf pack . Alice and Jasper were on one side , and Edward and I were on the other side . To my surprise , Leah Clearwater and Seth were on our side . Seth , standing by my side protectively . The wolves growled and lunged . One was about to hit Alice , but I ran and pushed her out of the way , the wolf taking me down , pinning itself ontop of me . I kicked it back off of me and it yelped . We were fighting some more , and  a wolf had me pinned me against a tree . It was about to attack me when someone ripped it back , causing a crack in the wolf's bones . Stefan . It was Stefan . My heart lept for joy as he pulled me to him , kissing me . He pushed me behind him defensively . We were about to go at it again when Jacob ran out . 

" Stop ! " he screamed .

" Jacob imprinted on ....Renesme . "  Edward growled .

We all looked at them as the wolves backed down and ran back into the woods . As soon as they were gone , Carlisle and Edward went upstairs . 

" Are you sure she's going to be okay ? " Edward asked from the second floor .

Carlisle nodded . 

" She'll be fine . "

I looked up at Stefan and he pulled me into his arms and into another kiss in the light sprinkling rain of Forks .I'd never been so happy to see him . I needed him and he was here .
