In a fraction of a second, I was at Bella's side, the rest of my family still frozen. I put my hands on Bella's shoulders.

"Let her go, Rose," I said, my voice deadly.  She just stared back at me grimly. I searched her mind, trying to get a hold of her plans.  There was a resolve, a plan to protect the baby at all costs.  And an aching desire she couldn't hide to have that baby as her own....

******************

Her face was so deathly still, no response.  She was unearthly pale, and there was the slightest blue tinge to her skin, the sky pale at dawn.  As I pressed my lips to hers, they were too cool.  I blew in gently twice, watching her chest rise and fall mechanically. I moved my mouth to her ear as my hands began to move again.

"Come on, Bella, love," I whispered.  "Come on, sweetheart.  I'm right here.  You did it. You've got a healthy baby. She's so beautiful. You were strong enough.  Now it's time for you to come back.  She's waiting.  I'm waiting, love.  I'm waiting for you, always...

Bella begins a new job at a university library, only to be haunted by dreams of earthquakes and the presence of a mysterious and tortured young man she just can't bring herself to stay away from. Edward is running from a dark past while remaining emotionally stagnant, nursing decades-old injuries that go more than skin deep.

Can they rescue each other from their pasts, and maybe find love in the process? AU/AH, OOC. Rated for Edward's foul mouth and for future lemony goodness.
