I STARE AT MY THIN BODY IN THE MIRROR. The room is cold and it chills my bare skin slightly. My originally sickly thin body has worsened. It's grown even worse, even more thin than what the transition did to me. My cheeks are hollow and my eyes are sunken.
My bones are visible through my skin, my skin barely hangs over them. My collarbones and chest is even more defined than they were, I can see every bone and count them. My large stomach pokes out massively and looks enormous compared to my frail body. My curls are still bouncy and lively in comparison to my death-like frame. I look sickly, I look hideous. I hate how I look.
I keep my eyes scanning over my body in the mirror and Jasper looks at me with pain in his eyes as he speeds into the room and stands by the door. We lock eyes through the mirror, his eyes fill with venom. "Darlin', why would you feel those things about yourself?" He stays respectful and doesn't trail his eyes along my naked body as he walks closer to me.
Me being hurt is hurting him. I can't respond, I can't tear my eyes away from my horrendous frame. Jasper sends waves of peace through me. He steps closer to me and grabs my folded underwear and hands them to me. "I feel like I'm hurting her, because I'm so thin and she's not getting any nutrition." My voice is a whisper and I keep my eyes on my large bump.
I slip into my underwear and Jasper clasps my small bra at the back. I'm still staring at my body numbly. "Darlin', there is nothing wrong with the way you look. You are beautiful. You're the most beautiful woman I have ever seen." My husband tells me and places a kiss on my shoulder before slipping my stretchy top over my head. "I don't want to hurt her, or let her down in any way." Venom pools in my eyes and Jasper sends calming waves towards me.
"Claretta won't be hurt." Claretta? I lock eyes with Jasper in the mirror. "Claretta?" I ask him and he smiles sheepishly. "I think it was my mother's name, I can't remember. But it just came to me, a moment ago." I smile slightly at Jasper and take the joggers from his hands and slip my legs into them after putting on socks.
"I like it, do you?" I ask him and he nods. I smile at Jasper, my bad mood disappears in an instant. He gently places his hands on my stomach and I put mine on top of his. "Hi, Claretta." I whisper and stare at my stomach in wonder as I watch her move around and respond to the name.
"I think she likes it." I look up at Jasper with a smile on my lips. "She's happy, and she loves us." He says to me and I smile at him before cupping my hands on his cheeks and pressing a kiss to his lips.

Bella sits on the sofa and whimpers before leaning forward. I rub her back soothingly. Edward holds a bucket there and Bella takes in shaky breaths before moving back. "We need to find a way to get some food into her system, and some blood into Tallulah's." Esme points out and I help Bella lay back down. I haven't been able to keep blood down, each time I try and drink some I throw it up.
