Life After Edward
Chap 12
A/N:Thanks for the reviews.
Alice’s POV
I watched as Jasper and Emmett followed Edward out.
“Breathe Bella, you need to calm down,” I said as I felt her squeeze my hand. She leaned back on the bed, and let go of my hand.
Carlisle came from the kitchen, holding another cup for Bella.
“Bella, did the drink seem to help?” Carlisle asked her.
“Yes, I already feel better,” she told him very quietly.
“Do you think you can handle another cup?”
She nodded.
“After this cup, maybe we can try some real food for you.” Carlisle told her handing her the cup. She took a sip.
“Sounds good to me,” She smiled at him.
I was glad to see some of her color return. She appeared a little stronger then just a few short hours ago. I can’t believe she has to drink blood, she shouldn’t have to do this, and she’s not one of us! There was a voice in the back of my head, she will be soon. I pushed it from my thoughts; I wanted to believe she could make it though this. Would she be able to care for the baby if she wasn’t one of us? I knew then, I would stay with her and help her raise the baby if that’s what it took. At this moment I felt a little dizzy.
As I came out of my vision, I felt Esme and Carlisle at my side.
“What did you see?” Esme asked me. Bella looked at me curiously.
“Bella was sitting on the couch; she had a bundle of blankets in her arms, must have been the baby. Edward was sitting next to her, he had his arm around her,” and Bella was a vampire! I couldn’t say the last part aloud. It could change. My visions weren’t definite.
“So I forgive him?” Bella asked in a small voice.
“My visions aren’t definite,” I told her.
“I was once told never bet against you,”
/Please bet against me!/ I thought as she continued.
“At least the baby is fine, could you tell if it was a boy or girl?” She asked me.
“Couldn’t tell,” I answered. She looked disappointed. She took the last sip of the drink and I took the cup from her.
Carlisle began to check the basic’s on Bella: her heartbeat, temperature and took some blood. He took the IV out saying, “It wasn’t doing much good anyways.”
“Would you like to sit on the couch for awhile, you’ll probably be more comfortable and you can watch some TV,” Carlisle asked Bella.
“I like the idea, but first I need to use the restroom,” When Bella stated this I was by her side again to help her.
I helped Bella out of bed and brought her to the restroom. She was able to walk on her own, but I didn’t let go till we got to the door. I waited outside for her, in case she needed help, but she didn’t. As we headed in to the living room, there was a huge difference.
The hospitable bed was gone. The couch was out again in front of the TV, with a blanket on it for Bella. On the side table was a new cup of blood and the remote. She sat on the couch and wrapped herself in the blanket. With the cup in her hand, she began to flip through the channels.
