Hated Love (Alec Volturi Love Story)

Chp 11: Almost there

Maria's POV

I'm terrified right now. Alec's been here with me for the past two weeks, and it's almost time for me to give birth. 

Right now, I'm just not too sure whether or not I'm ready to be a mom. But I don't have a choice anymore. 

"Maria?"

I feel Alec's hands on my shoulders as he pulls me back into reality.

"What's bothering you?", he asks gently. 

A sigh escapes my breath,"Nothing....it's just that....I'm scared."

He raises his eyebrows,"That's not abnormal you know. But tell me why this is scaring you so much."

"Well", I begin,"What if we're...not ready. What if...this was just a big mistake."

"Are you having regrets?", his tone is very serious.

"No.", I say without even the slightest bit of hesitation,"I don't regret what we did that night. And I sure don't regret making the choice to have this baby."

"Then what is it that's bothering you so much, love?", he narrows his eyebrows.

"What if....what if I'm not good enough?", I whisper.

"I don't understand what you're trying to say.", he tells me.

"It's just that...I don't want our baby to have to go through what I did. What if I'm just as a shitty mother as mine was?", I ask.

He grabs my shoulders and looks me straight in the eyes,"Maria. That's why I'm here. There is no way in hell I would ever make you go through this alone."

"I know but", I start, but he cuts me off.

"No, I don't wanna hear it. Babe, you know what pain feels like. We both do. Pain is hard, but it makes you stronger. And because of what happened, we know what to do and what not to do for our child.", he tells me.

A smile comes on my face and he pulls me close to him, careful not to put any pressure on my stomach.

"It will work. You'll be an amazing mother. Trust me.", he smirks and tucks a strand of hair behind my ears.

My mouth opens to say something, but I'm not able to get anything out. 

And suddenly, I feel an extremely sharp pain on my back and abdomen.

"Alec....", I say first hoarsley and then in a shrieking tone,"ALEC!!!!"

The pain consumes my whole body and soon the only thing I can hear is my own screams. 

Alec quickly picks me up and lays me on my bed and calls for Bella, Edward, and Carlisle who come in immediately. 

But it's so hard to fathom what's going on around me.

Because all I can feel is...

Pain.

I grab onto the bed sheets and start pulling, and my teeth are gritting. Please...just...make it stop...

And it does...and my body is filled with relief as soon as it does.

And now....the only thing I can hear is the soft cries of a small child. 

I try to catch a glimpse, but soon...the only thing I can feel is a heavy weight on my chest and darkness soon consumes me.

---------------------------------------------------------a few hours later-------------------------------------------

My eyes slowly open and I find myself in the living room, a littile dizzy and weak. But other than that, completely normal. My eyes move down towards my body and I find myself befuddled at the fact that I look exactly like I used to.

Wait.

My baby. 

Where is our child?!

I get up frantically and start to look around the room, but no one's there. But thankfully, I hear a familiar voice.

"Come here.", Alec whispers.

I run quickly to him and look immediatly at his arms.

"Isn't she amazing?", he smiles and puts our child in my arms.

"She's beautiful.", I whisper, looking at her as if I've never seen anything more precious in my life.

"What should we name her?", Alec asks and slips an arm around my waist.

My eyes meet his and I give him a soft kiss,"How about....Elizabeth?"

He smiles,"That's perfect."

Elizabeth makes a soft noise and opens her eyes, revealing a beautiful color of blue. Very bright blue. And it looked gorgeous.

"She has your eyes.", I say quietly,"You had blue eyes as a human."

Alec nods as he notices. 

"Amazing.", I whisper. 

We're here, baby. And we're not going anywhere.
