A long, painful night....

[Rosalie Hale]

*I was sitting in the room right outside of the exam room. Staring into the fireplace watching the flames magically dance about the blacked logs. Zoe had managed to make it through the night. That, to me proved that she is stronger then she thinks. I have seen patients of mine die a lot faster then her and she was sicker then most that I have seen. All I could do was keep her comfortable and hold her during times that she just broke down. I was lost in thought when I felt a pair of warm arms wrap themselves around my neck.
"Guess who" the sweet voice whispered in my ear.
"No other then the love of my life. My beautiful niece" I smiled as Nessie came around the couch and took a seat beside me.
"You look worried mama Rose. What is going on? Is it that woman mama was telling me about....Zoe?"
She was so sweet to be worried about me friend. Her heart was as big as her smile. This family was so blessed to have her in our lives.
"Yes, my love. I am very worried about my friend. She is not doing well at all and she is struggling with some choices that she has had to make"
I sat there and talked with my young niece and told her all about what was going on. That Zoe was worried that what was growing inside her was, well a monster and that she would be unable to love and care for it.
"Mama Rose, if it would help your friend, I could talk to her. Show her what her baby can be. If you think that would help" she grabbed me hand.
"Nessie, that would be wonderful. Thank you so much my darling. If she could see how beautiful and happy you are, that would help her, maybe bond with her child some. Thank you" I hugged her before we stood and made our way into the exam room. I hope this helped to ease the mind of my friend. I was pulling at straws at this point*

[Nessa]

-she nodded her head and gripped Mama Rose's hand in hers as they walked into the room; Zoe lay on a gurney type bed looking worse than she had before. She gulped and squeezed Rose's hand again before letting go and walking closer to the bed and offering a warm smile.-

Hiya. I'm Nessie. -reached out slowly and grabbed her hand, letting her feel that she was warm, unlike the rest of her family.- Mama Rose said that you're worried about your baby? That it's going to be a 'monster'. -Zoe just nodded her head slowly, weakly and sadly as she looked up at Nessie- People thought I was a monster. They fought over me and wanted me dead. Did you know that?

[Zoe DeBroux]

<Zoe blinked weakly at the young girl who entered the room. She nodded slowly and weakly answering her question. Her eyes widened to see that she was once thought of as a monster. This must be Bella's daughter, the one from the photos. She was so... gorgeous. Perfect. Looking down at her swollen and bruised belly as she touched it and smiled.>

"It can be normal, like you?"

[Nessa]

Well, I wouldn't say I'm normal exactly. I mean, you've seen who I live with. How can anyone have an uncle like my Uncle Em and be normal? -she winked at her and gently reached out to touch Zoe's face, closing her eyes and smiling as she showed her memories of growing up, of how Rose took care of her and treated her like a princess, how happy the family was. Zoe's face relaxed and she smiled weakly as Nessie removed her hand from her face- Your baby will be happy. And healthy. I promise. -grinned at her and leaned in to kiss her forehead-

You need to rest, okay? If you want to talk more, just tell my Mama Rose and she'll get me. -smiled at her and squeezed her hand again before turning and heading towards the door.-

[Zoe DeBroux]

<Zoe chuckled a little at the way she spoke of Emmett. It was true, of the years she'd known him, he was definitely a joker. The girl touched her face and she began to see images. It was the most beautiful thing. She remembered everything, from being born to growing up. She grew really fast and was so beautiful. Everyone seemed happy and peaceful. Once she removed her hand and gave her hope that her baby would be happy and healthy she smiled and said, "Thank you." Nodding, agreeing to rest.>

"It was so nice to meet you, such a lovely young woman. <As she left Zoe alone with her thoughts she felt the baby move slightly and smiled. In a soft motherly voice she talked to her womb.>

"You're going to be great, because you're going to have a wonderful mother. You're going to be strong because you have the DeBroux genes. Your grandpa was a doctor. His name was Ryder. Such a wonderful man, he was. I know what I have to do for you, and I promise you....I--I promise...." <Tears began to fall from her eyes as she felt a calm, a calm she hadn't felt in such a long time.>
