So...heyy...remember me? ;)

Yeah, I'm still alive.

First of all, I want to say how very sorry I am that it's taken me this long to update!

Especially on a cliffhanger!

But I had a serious case of lack of inspiration!

Anyways here it is...finally!

And it is quite a long one. (I'm secretly hoping it makes up for it a little bit) ;)

Hope you enjoy it! You've waited long enough.

Chapter 18

'What?' I screeched.

'Your waters have broken, your in labour Bella' Alice informed me delighted, a massive grin on her face.

Fucking dick.

'Shit' Edward mumbled, looking like he actually might shit himself.

'Your joking right?' I whispered as my hand shot out and grabbed his wrist.

'Not at all' Alice beamed, clapping her hands excitedly.

I glared at her.

'Ohhh, fuck!' I tensed as another wave of pain crashed across me.

Edward glanced down at me, worry etched on his face.

'What do we do?' he asked Alice, trying hard to keep his cool, but I could see how his jaw clenched and his lip twitched.

'Get her to the nearest hospital!'

Edward nodded and turned back to me. He grabbed my legs and clumsily tried to help me twist round so I was sitting front ways, but he kept banging his head and trapping my feet between his legs.

'Let me do it myself Edward!' I snapped, pushing him away.

He nodded and rushed round the car, yanking a hand through his hair. He slipped in the drivers side, quickly switching on the engine and pulling out.

'Edward! Wait!'

He snapped his head towards me as he stamped his foot on the brake, stopping the car abruptly.

'What? What is it? Is there more pain?' He asked panicked.

'No' I shook my head. 'You left Alice and Jasper behind dickhead' I pointed my thumb over my shoulder.

He swore as he smacked his palm to his forehead and was about to reverse when the back door swung open and there stood a red-faced, panting Alice.

'What the fuck Edward?' she glared as she clambered into the car, Jasper close behind her.

As soon as Jasper had shut the door, Edward put his foot down and bolted out of the parking lot.

'Fuck Edward, slow down!' I demanded as he shot round a corner, and I head butted the window. 'Christ!'

He ignored me.

Alice tutted and leant forward, grabbing my arm.

'How you doing babe?' she asked.

'How the fuck do you think?' I snapped as another contraction pierced my stomach. 'Arghhh' I grabbed her hand from my arm and squeezed my way through the pain.

'Okaaay' she spoke through clenched teeth when I loosened my grip. 'Think you broke my hand' she muttered, extracting her hand quickly from mine.

She stayed behind me, keeping her hands safely out of my reach, as she told me to breathe.

'Just stay calm and breathe in and out slowly and deeply' she instructed and then proceeded to breathe in and out slowly and fucking deeply down my ear.

'Go away!' I cautioned, when she grasped my head and started moving it from side to side.

'It's good for you, its a relaxing massage' she insisted as she squeezed my skull.

'Edward!' I shouted.

'What?' he replied in a high pitched voice, his head shooting towards me.

'Watch the road!' I demanded. 'And get your sister off my scalp'

'Alice! Leave her the fuck alone' Edward ordered.

Alice shushed him and carried on, telling us both to just relax, however she soon relented when Edward shot her a warning glare.

'Fine!' she sulked, throwing herself back into her seat and crossing her arms over her chest, muttering under her breath.

Thirty minutes, and approximately ten contractions later, we were still no closer to finding a hospital, in fact I was sure we were probably further from a hospital than we had ever been in our entire lives.

Edward had somehow managed to drive us down a completely deserted country lane and I was getting more frantic by the second.

'Where the fuck are we?' I asked, a little hysterically.

'I don't know Bella, okay! I know about as much as you do right now' he shouted back, just as hysterically. 'Fucking piece of shit navigation system!' He punched the little machine that sat on the dashboard and sighed angrily.

I was about to yell at him some more, when I felt my stomach tighten and knew another contraction was brewing. This one however, was much worse than any of the others, the pain so intense that it made me want to throw up...

'Edward pull over!' I screeched, throwing my hand to my mouth.

'Why?' he questioned.

I leant over and grabbed his shirt in my fist. 'I swear to god Edward, if you don't pull over right now, I will rip your fucking balls off and feed them to my dog!'

He frowned. 'You don't have a dog Bella'

I growled and pulled his shirt tighter.

'Fine!' he surrendered, pulling the car sharply to the side of the road.

As soon as the Volvo came to a stop I opened the door and vomited on the side walk.

'Urghhh' I groaned, wiping my mouth.

'Ohh shit, Bella are you alright?' Edward gasped, leaning over and grabbing a bottle of water from the drawer in the dash. He got out of the car and jogged round to my side. Crouching in front of me, he passed me the bottle and rubbed my back as I took a swig and washed out my mouth.

'I've been better, actually' I said with maybe a touch of sarcasm.

Edward sighed and stood up. He rubbed his chin as he did a three sixty degree turn, taking in his surroundings.

'Any ideas where we are Edward mate?' Jasper asked as he climbed out of the car and stood next to Edward.

'Not a fucking clue' Edward shook his head, and tugged at his hair.

'Well are we anywhere near any type of hospital?' Alice butted in from the back seat.

'I don't know!' Edward groaned.

I watched as he closed his eyes and ran two fingers across his eyebrow, sighing heavily.

I reached out to touch his hand, but as I leant over my bump towards him, I flinched.

'Edward...' I whimpered, clutching my stomach.

'Baby?' He turned quickly, kneeling in front of me and grabbing my face in his hands. 'What's wrong? Are you okay?'

'I think...I don't...' I panted through the agony.

'It's okay, just breathe baby, stay calm' he encouraged, offering me his hand.

I took it and squeezed hard as a tear slid down my cheek.

'It hurts so much Edward' I whispered.

'I know baby, I know' he soothed urgently.

Suddenly, the urge to push overwhelmed me and when I realised what that meant, I could hardly breathe as I started to panic.

'Edward...I...fuck...I can't breathe!' I panicked, trying to stand up.

'Bella! Calm down...remember deep breaths!' Alice injected climbing out of the car and trying to shove Edward out of the way.

'Fuck off Alice!' He barked, remaining crouched in front of me.

'I'm just trying to help' she pouted.

'Hey baby, why don't you phone your Mom or Carlisle and try to get some directions' Jasper suggested softly, handing her his cell and guiding her gently away from the car.

'How the fuck does he do that?' Edward wondered out loud.

'Edward!' I growled.

'Sorry' he shook his head and turned back to me.

'I need to get up!' I told him, holding my hands out for him to pull me up.

'I don't know Bella, I think you should maybe stay seated for now baby' he suggested with a small smile.

'Fuck you then!' I snapped, trying to stand up by myself.

Edward sighed, stood up and slipped an arm around my waist. 'Please just be careful' he begged as he slowly helped me to stand.

'Arghh' I cried, automatically bending at the waist as my stomach clenched.

'See you stubborn bitch! Sit down!' Edward ordered, keeping a hold on my elbow as he opened the back door of the Volvo and demanded I lay down.

I did as he said and rubbed my bump as I shut my eyes tightly and bit my lip, moaning through the pain and trying like fuck to pretend that I really didn't need to push just yet.

Edward sat at my feet, in between my legs, one hand was tangled in his hair, the other was placed gently on my stomach.

'How far apart are the contractions?' I heard Jasper quietly ask Edward from somewhere beyond my knees.

'I'd say about two minutes or so...' Edward answered, glancing quickly at me.

There was a pause before Jasper spoke again. I realised he was on the phone.

'Carlisle wants to know if she has any urges to push?' he asked.

Edward replayed the question to me and I answered by bursting into tears.

'Ohh baby, it's okay...its all going to be okay!' He promised, but I saw the petrified look on his face when he nodded slowly to Jasper, eyes wide as he waited for his dad's response.

I sobbed hysterically as I watched Jasper explain everything to Carlisle. He spoke for a few seconds then simply nodded, listened for a few minutes and nodded once more before saying thanks and hanging up.

'So?' Edward asked, finding my hand and giving it a squeeze.

Jasper calmly put his cellphone back in his pocket before taking a deep breath.

'Spit it out Jasper!' I hissed.

'Well, basically, Carlisle said...thaaat...by the sounds of it...' he paused and rubbed the back of his neck. '...the baby is well...the babyisalreadyonthewayandthere'snotimetogettoahospital...so...'

'...I'm having my baby right here?' I interrupted, bursting into tears all over again.

'Your sure?' Edward asked, to which Jasper simply nodded. 'Shit'

'Ohhh godddddd' I cried slash moaned as a contraction gripped my whole body and the urge to push became so unbearable that I had no choice but to relent. 'Ungggggg'

'Fuck, Bella are you okay?' Edward asked, frantic, offering me his hand to squeeze.

'Stop fucking asking me if I'm okay!' I growled through clenched teeth. 'I'm not okay! I'm not fucking okay Edward!'

'I'm sorry...shit...I...'

'Just go away! This is all your fault!' I shouted, pushing him away.

He looked hurt as he took a step back. 'Okay okay, but what can I do Bella, just tell me what I can do to help' he whispered urgently.

'Get Alice! Please I need Alice!' I begged.

'I'll go' Jasper offered.

'No, it's okay' Edward glanced at me, his eyes sad. 'I'll go'

He jogged away, leaving a petrified looking Jasper alone with me.

'Where the fuck is Alice?' I growled at him.

'I...she...she went for a walk'

'A walk?' I shrieked. 'I'm having a baby and she's gone off for a fucking stroll through the country?'

'I...'

'Ungggggg...'

'Do you...do you want me to...is there anything...' Jasper stammered...looking around him desperately.

'Fuckk! It hurts Jasper!' I panted, gripping the Volvo seats for dear life. 'Where's Edward gone?' I

whispered, my voice cracking as my eyes filled and a tear rolled down onto my cheek.

'He'll be back soon Bella' Jasper assured me patting my knee hesitantly.

'Tell him to hurry.' I pleaded.

'They're now coming Bella, I can see them, there coming as fast as they can' Jasper sighed, probably more relieved for himself than for me.

I heard Alice before I saw her. 'Is she okay?' Bella?'

'Alice!' I sobbed as her head appeared at my feet.

'Hey babe! What's happening?' she winked.

'Oh just having a baby, you know' I smiled, despite myself. 'Where's Edward?' I asked, trying to lift my head.

'Right here baby' he appeared above me, he was sat in the front, leaning over the seat.

A strange relief flooded over me.

'Edward I'm sorry! I'm so sorry!' I cried, reaching for him.

'What the fuck for?' he chuckled, grabbing my hand and squeezing it.

'I love you Edward'

'I love you too' he leant further over the seat and placed a firm kiss on my forehead. He paused by my ear as he pulled back. 'It's gonna be okay baby' he whispered.

I smiled and nodded.

'Ungggg' my smile faltered as the pain returned.

'Edward, do you have a blanket in the boot?' Alice asked as she started unzipping my jeans.

I wanted so much to say some sarcastic comment, the pain however was too unbearable to allow me to think of one so instead I came out with...'Alihmmmmmmmfuckkarghhhungggg'

'Ermm...' Edward murmured as he moved out of view.

He reappeared a few seconds later, holding a picnic blanket.

'Is this okay?' he asked Alice, as he repositioned himself back in the front seat.

'Perfect' Alice grinned, taking it from him and draping it over my knees.

She gripped the waistband of my jeans and was about to pull them down when I shouted.

'Alice wait!'

She paused and looked up in question.

'Jasper!' I pointed behind her, to where her boyfriend was still standing, about to get a wonderful view of my...well...everything.

Alice turned and gave him a look.

'Shit sorry!' Jasper apologised, holding his hands up and scurrying around the car.

'Now' Alice returned her attention to me, quickly yanking down my trousers and discarding of them on the road.

She then reached for my underwear.

'Alice!' I squeaked, embarrassed.

She tutted and shook her head, before whipping them down my legs.

I automatically slammed my legs closed, trying to cover myself with the blanket.

'Bella, stop' she gave me a look.

I started to shake my head, but when another contraction started brewing I completely forgot that my best friend was sat looking at my lady garden and simply looked up at Edward. He gave me his

signature crooked grin and I slipped my hand into his.

'Are you having another contraction Bella?' Alice asked and I nodded, squeezed my eyes shut and whimpered. 'Right Edward! Help her concentrate on her breathing. Bella, I'm gonna need you to start pushing!' Alice instructed.

I looked at Edward and he looked at Alice, his eyes wide.

EPOV

Shit. Shit. Shit.

BPOV

'You can do it Bella' Alice encouraged.

'I'm scared' I whispered.

'I know you are babe, but it's time to get this baby out'

EPOV

Fuck, Fuck, fuck!

BPOV

I gripped Edward's hand.

EPOV

I felt her squeeze my hand and looked down at her face.

She was shitting herself.

I was shitting myself.

This was actually happening.

Bella was having a baby.

Bella was having my baby.

Our baby.

Shit. I think I'm about to pass out.

Breathe Edward! Breathe.

'Edward' she whimpered.

I saw a tear escape from the corner of her eye as she gritted her teeth and pushed, like Alice told her to.

I suddenly felt like the worlds biggest asshole.

My girlfriend was having a baby in the middle of nowhere and here I was having my own little panic attack.

'Okay, try to hold it for ten seconds for me Bella' Alice instructed Bella.

'Urghhh, I...can't...' she panted, a sheen of sweat starting to cover her face and neck.

'Yes you can!' I assured her.

'I can't Edward...it hurts...so...much' she wailed.

'Bella, you can do this! I insisted.

'I caaaan't' she shook her head, let out a huge breath and stopped pushing. She started to cry hysterically, insisting she couldn't do it.

'Isabella Swan!'

She looked up at me, her wet eyes wide.

I took her face in my hands, and leant towards her.

'Listen to me! I know you can do this okay, I know you can'

She shook her head. 'I can...'

'Shutup and just listen to me okay!'

She bit her lip and sniffled.

'See I remember this girl in high school, she happened to be a massive bitch...' I winked. '...but she never took shit from anybody...she always gave as good as she got, she certainly put me in my place' I smiled. '...and im not bragging or anything...but I reckon i'm a little bit worse than a tiny baby' I smirked.

She let out a teary laugh.

'Now, are you gonna stop being a bloody wimp and get our baby out of there?'

'Dick' she murmured with a small smile.

I kissed her lips twice and, still holding her face in my hands I leant back a little bit and cocked an eyebrow.

She closed her eyes and nodded slightly.

'Let's do this!' I kissed her once more before letting go of her face.

'Okay' she sighed and gave Alice a weak thumbs up.

BPOV

'Right, when you get your next contraction Bella, I want you to push as hard as you can for as long as you can' Alice commanded after I'd been pushing for ten minutes or so.

'Since when were you a fucking nurse?' I panted, getting a little bit tired and irritated.

'Shhh' she waved me off as she looked under my blanket.

'Fuckkkkkkkkkhmmmm' I groaned, preparing myself to push again.

'Ready?' Alice asked.

'Unggggg I guess' I reaffirmed my grip on Edwards hand, and he gave it a squeeze as I started to push once again.

'Arggggghhhhhhhhhhhhhhh...'

'Come on, just a little bit longer Bella'

'Uhh! How much longer?' I asked through clenched teeth.

'Just hold it a few more seconds Bella, that's it, three, two, one and breathe'

'Phewww' I gasped for breath as I let myself relax, only to get annoyed when I felt another contraction almost straight away. 'Urghh, enough! Just get the bloody baby out! I can't take much more Edward...I can't' I sighed, as tears overflowed.

'Just a few more pushes Bella, that's all...ready? Deep breath...and push' Alice was really starting to piss me off.

'Pleeeaseeee' I cried out, desperately trying to get some air into my lungs.

Edward wiped my forehead with some tissue, but it made no difference, my whole body was on fire, I was sweating more than I ever had in my life. My clothes were damp and my hair was soaking.

'I'm so hot' I whined, clawing at my sweater.

'Just a few more minutes baby, it'll all be over soon' Edward assured, looking to Alice for back up.

'He's right Bella, just a couple more minutes, I promise'

'Fuck you Alice! You've been saying that for the last hour! Stop lying to me!'

'Right calm down Bella! Just breathe for a few seconds, and then when your ready give me the biggest fucking push you can manage!'

I closed my eyes and rubbed my stomach as my lip trembled and I tried to keep it together.

'Come on baby, mommy's had enough now, are you gonna come out so me and daddy can meet you?' I whispered towards my bump.

Edward placed a hand on top of mine.

And at that moment it hit me. In a matter of moments I was going to give birth. Me and Edward were gonna have a baby.

EPOV

As I stared at my hand on top of hers, and watched her talk to her bump it hit me.

In a matter of moments Bella was going to give birth to our baby.

And our lives were going to change forever.

BPOV

As soon as Edward placed his hand on top of mine, my stomach fluttered and I knew this was it.

I prepared myself.

I propped my knees up and took both of Edward's hands in mine. I looked at him and he looked back down at me. At that moment it was like everything stopped and it was just me and Edward in the whole world.

'I love you' I whispered.

'I love you too baby' he leant down and kissed me. I sighed into his mouth. 'Everything's gonna be okay Bella, I promise'

I pulled back and closed my eyes.

When I opened them, everything was manic again. Alice was shouting at me to push as hard as I could, Edward was breathing almost as hard as I was and Jasper was talking to someone on the phone.

Lets go baby.

I took in the biggest breath my lungs would take, squeezed Edward's hands and pushed down as hard as I possibly could.

'Unnrrrrrrrrrrrrggggggggggg'

'That's it Bella, keep going, keep it going' Alice encouraged.

'Urghhh fuckkkkkkkkk!' I groaned as the pain increased an unbearable amount and I faltered. I almost stopped pushing, the pain was so fucking intense, but then Alice called out.

'I can see the head Bella! Keep going!' she shrieked.

'Really?' I gasped.

Alice nodded excitedly.

Edward gave me a look and I knew exactly what he wanted.

'Okay' I whispered.

He kept hold of my hands, but leant across the passenger seat and his head dissapeared beyond the blanket.

'Holy shittttttttt! Why does it hurt so much?' I screamed.

'I can see the head baby, it's so amazing! Your doing so well Bella, just a little bit longer now' Edward announced, he popped his head back up, a massive grin on his face. 'Just one more big push Bella, and it'll all be over'

I gritted my teeth and pushed with all I had.

The pain became overwhelming for a few more seconds and then suddenly...it was gone. At first I thought I'd passed out.

But then something magical happened. A high pitched crying filled the car and I broke down as relief flooded me.

'You've done it baby! You've done it!' Edward shouted joyfully.

'Edward, pass me your sweater' Alice called from behind the blanket and he complied.

Suddenly Alice appeared above the blanket with Edwards jumper in her arms. 'Bella...it's a baby girl!' she squeaked, leaning over and placing the bundle in my arms. 'Well done babe!'

As soon as she was placed on my chest, she stopped screaming and started gurgling softly. I looked down at the baby in my arms and suddenly everything seemed right with the world. All the pain i'd just gone through was completely forgotten and though I was still crying, they were now happy tears.

'Ohh she's so beautiful' I wept.

'Just like her mom' Edward whispered.

I looked up at him. His eyes were glistening and a tear was sliding down his cheek.

'I'll leave you three alone' Alice whispered. She squeezed my knee before slipping quietly out of the car.

'Amazing' I sighed as I ran a finger lightly along my baby's hair.

'You are amazing Bella' Edward grinned, leaning forward and kissing my forehead. He then placed the softest of kisses on his daughter's head. 'I love you so much Isabella'

'I love you too Edward!' I grinned, leaning my forehead against his as we both looked down at our baby. 'And you...I love you very very much' I whispered to the tiny person in my arms.

'You know, she needs a name' Edward pointed out.

'I have a couple of ideas' I admitted.

'Oh yeah?' he smiled.

'Well, I was thinking one of our mom's names...but then I thought that's never gonna be fair...so I came up with...maybe...Renesmee...Renee and Esme?'

Edward seemed to think about it for a minute.

'You hate it?'

'Not at all...I think...it's absoloutely perfect' He grinned. 'Renesmee'

'Suits her don't you think' I smiled down at her. 'Does Daddy want to hold Renesmee?'

'More than anything'

I carefully shifted so I was somewhat upright and gently patted the space next to me.

Edward quickly slipped out of the front and slid in beside me.

I gently passed him the baby and smiled as he rocked her slowly in his arms. I leaned against his shoulder as he softly hummed a lullaby.

'I'm tired' I yawned.

'I'm not surprised' Edward chuckled.

I glanced down at Renesmee and smiled.

It didn't matter if I was tired. It didnt matter that I was already starting to ache, it didn't matter that we needed to find a hospital. None of it mattered anymore.

Because Renesmee was finally here.

And she was perfect.

I looked up at Edward, and couldnt help but grin as I watched him, watch her.

I sighed happily and closed my eyes.

'Perfect' I whispered.

Awwww! How cute!

I'm sure that's not how Bella or Edward planned for Renesmee to be born but I thought they needed a little bit of drama. ;)

Once again I am really sorry that it's taken me so long to get this out, but I had a serious case of lack of inspiration.

But anyways I got there in the end!

I hope you enjoyed it and it was worth the wait.

Please leave me a REVIEW and let me know if the birth was as good as you expected or even just to let me know your still interested in this story.

Once again really sorry! I will try not to keep you waiting too long for the next chap ;)

Keep reading!
