Found (PJO/ Twilight Crossover)

39. Fire

Sorry for the delay in posting. The writer's curse got me and I breifly wound up in the hospital with pnuemonia, wish I could say it was for the first time but sadly I appear to be afflicted by many a curses. Anyway here's the next chapter! Enjoy!

~(Aurora's Pov)~

I rushed inside the house as fast as my legs would carry me. Past the empty living room with a concerningly large puddle of blood to the upstairs library where the screams were coming from still.

The room was a flurry of motion.

I got there just to see Jacob tackle Rosalie. Alice was there in an instant shoving Rosalie away. My eyes found Bella lying limp in the hospital bed while Edward worked injecting something into her.

I wasted no time joining him. "What's wrong? What happened?" I asked not knowing what the problem was and not wanting to help, fearing I'd accidentally make it worse.

"They're both dying" He didn't look up as he answered. "He has to come out"

Bella vomited up a flood of blood. It was the only movement from her body. I went to her head and turned it to the side as gently as I could. The blood would stop her from breathing otherwise. But she wasn't breathing. Her small chest stayed unmoving even after the heaving stopped.

"Jacob, do CPR. Aurora come help me" He growled at us, demanding. "We have to get him out"

There was a shattering crack from inside Bella's body. Everyone froze to see what would happen but Bella stayed deathly still.

Edward choked in horror. "Her spine"

I watched as Edward dragged the scalpel against her thin skin. The scalpel gave a grating metallic sound as it reached her womb. The same skin that had stopped the ultrasound from penetrating had just shredded the steel scalpel he was using.

Edward held out his hand out, I gave him the celestial bronze scalpel from Will. He again drug it against her skin once again, this time it went in deeper.

Jacob was shouting for Bella to stay alive from the top of the table.

Edward had me hold up the newly cut open skin of Bella so he could reach his child. The skin was warm and sticky from all the blood. I wanted to look away from staring into where Edward's hands disappeared into her but I couldn't.

He lifted out the baby. I could see through the mess that Bella was wrong. It was a girl.

Edward was cradling the baby now. "Renessme," he whispered.

I cut the cord with the scalpel he had left abandoned on the bed. Bella, regaining consciousness, called for the baby.

"Aurora, follow the cord and take out the placenta" Edward ordered me. His voice was softer now as he looked into his newborn daughter's eyes.

I wanted to protest, to say that I didn't know what I was doing. The words died on my lips looking at him to give Bella her long-awaited baby. She looked like she was on Hades' doorstep but she smiled at her daughter. Jacob, too, was watching Bella. He was studying her face. I couldn't take this away from him either, they were the last moments he had with Bella.

Taking the cord in my hands, I followed it down to where it led into Bella. I gently reached in, trying not to think of what I was actually doing. I worked quickly, gently pulling the mass from Bella. It was hard and black, covered in more of Bella's blood. I dropped the fleshy lump on the ground not wanting to feel it any longer. There was a wrongness to it.

Bella gasped from the head of the table.

Edward pulled the baby away. He moved with her back a few feet.
