Lilith lay comfortably in the makeshift hospital room in the Cullen home. She had been placed on top of the bed by Edward so they could get x-rays of her stomach to do a routine check up. It had been another two months since Lilith had placed the border up around the Cullen home and unfortunately things had taken a turn for the worse. She was growing weaker, paler and skinner while the baby was chewing up everything she had. Keeping the border up was only making things harder but she couldn't take it down as the wolves would sense it fall and attack, no matter how quickly she tried to hand it over to her parents to take care of, they couldn't.

     Her parents only had enough power to protect the home, not anything further like Lilith could where she could provide them space for the Cullens to hunt and get some sustenance. It would be too much for the Bailey parents.

Edward had been stepping up and taking care of her, along with Bella, Leah and Rosalie when he couldn't for reasons like researching and hunting. But, whenever the vampires got too hungry, Bella would take over with the help of Leah and sometimes even Seth.

Sierra and Oliver had been able to lure small forrest animals to come towards the Cullen home, past the border so they would be able to feed whenever the grounds were sparse, and keep their control around the vulnerable people in the house, but, it was slowly becoming an issue as the wolves had caught on and began to sabotage their prey by eating them first before they could reach passed the border. It was on the rare occasion lately that they have been able to sneak a few animals in every now and again to keep the Cullens sane.

Lilith was shocked that the wolves hadn't given up in the two months that went by; each day they continued to stand around the border and just wait for it to drop so they could attack. It was a slap in the face to see how much they truly hated her baby when they didn't know anything about it. They just had this fear of it and ran with that, making the unknown a lot more scarier than it was.

"You rib is cracked." Carlisle pointed towards the x-ray, "But, there are no splinters. You haven't punctured anything."

"Yet, I guess." Lilith let out a defeated sigh as she looked over at Edward to get him to help her sit up. The baby bump very large and her being too weak to be able to do anything with it in the way and holding her down, "I feel like I'm being crushed from the inside out if I'm being honest."

"Lilith... I don't want to say this to make you upset, but, are you sure you want to keep doing this?" Edward asked her, his voice and eyes both soft as she spoke as he felt like he was walking on thin ice by asking her that question. After the fights that they had, he didn't want to start another one by bringing up the same topic over and over again, especially not when she was so fragile and vulnerable, "Because if you want to stop, we can just change you and we'll find a beautiful baby girl that looks just like the one in your dream to adopt."
