Breaking Dawn
Stephanie Meyer

Bella and Edward arrive home in Forks and go straight to the Cullens house. Carlisle immediatly puts Bella in an IV and starts running tests. Edward demands Carlisle to get it out of her but Rosalie immediatly puts her guard up with this demand. Once Edward realizes that Bella is actually inlove with her baby, Edward feels guilt as well as disguised. Although he doesn't feel disguised over wanting to kill the baby, he feels disguised of having this happen to Bella and having her fall in love with the baby that will most likely end her life. Ofcourse, Edward would now never hurt the baby because he knows it would kill Bella. Then in the novel, the point of view switches from Bellas to Jacobs. Jacob trys to move on, knowing that Bella will always love Edward more then she loves him. Although, he fails miserably and realizes he can't just force love to find him. After discovering Bellas "condition" Jacob is immediatly disgusted. Bella has lost a ton of weight everywhere in her body besides her stomach, which looks deformed, her color in her face is whiped out and her hair even appears thinner. Edward pleads Jacob to talk to Bella, to even discuss that Bella could have babies with Jacob to make her happy. Jacob is baffled by the fact that Edward would even suggest this, but ofcourse realizes how much its killing him to see her dieing and the desperation he has. Bella ofcourse laughs at Jacob's suggestions and trys to convince Jacob that she will survive through the birth because she loves the baby to much and the baby loves her. Rosalie suggests the idea that maybe the baby wants blood and thats why Bella isnt able to get any food into her blood stream beacuse the baby is craving to much so Bella cant take in any of the food shes eating. Her theory is correct which causes Bella to become healthier and healthier the more she drinks the blood.

Breaking Dawn post #2

In Breaking Dawn, Bella and Edward finally make love for the first time on their honeymoon. The honeymoon is on an Island that Carlisle gave to Esme as a present. Edward hated himself the morning after they made love because of Bellas bruises on her body, although Bella told him that she truly wasn't hurt. Throughout the week Edward and Bella stay at their honeymoon spot and occasionally Bella would convince Edward to do what she wants the most from him. Then Bella begins to be getting hungrier and hungrier, she then realizes that she's pregnant. This frightens Edward to an extreme. Edward quickly gets on the phone with Carlisle and they begin to leave for home. Even though Edward is repeatingly telling Bella, "Don't worry love, we'll get it out of you soon." All Bella could think about was how much she already loved her baby and how she immediatly was afraid of Edward. Bella calls the one person she knows would completly understand, Rosalie. On the plane Edward tells Bella stories that he thought were only myths about vampires pregnating a women. He explains that usually the person never survives after making love to a vampire. But there are myths of people who do, and the child kills the mother anyways in the process of giving birth because the baby escapes by eating through the whom of the mother. Even though this frightens Bella, she still says that she will survive and so will her baby and if she doesn't survive, theres always the alternative of becoming a vampire at her last moments of life.

Breaking Dawn Reflection

Meyer, Stephanie. Breaking Dawn. Vol. 4. New York: Little, Brown and Company, 2007.

Okay, so from the previous book a lot of stuff happens. Such as, Edward proposes to Bella and she says yes, as long as Edward promises to "give himself" to her on the honeymoon. Edward agrees and says he will try. In Breaking Dawn it begins with forshadowing of Bella and Edward telling Charlie (Bellas dad.) Bella was absolutly petrified to tell her dad. I mean it is pretty weird that they're getting married at 18.. but their in love so its understandable. Bella calls Charlie into the living room where Edward and her are sitting on the couch and Bella's sweating bullets. Charlie immediatly thinks Bellas pregnant when she says, "Charlie, Edward and I have something to tell you.." Edward then cuts in when Bella can't finish her sentence when trying to tell him whats really up. Reluctantly, Charlie wasn't really upset and instead says, "Well.. I knew it was coming.." Although, he would only give them his best wishes as long as Bella tells her mom, Rene. Bella was frightened by this thought. Rene was fun, spunky, and a loving mom but she always warned Bella about her mistakes when marrying Charlie because she was too young. Bella finally calls Rene and tells her about the marriage. Rene responds, "Well.. you should of told me sooner... I mean tickets are only getting pricier by the day." Bella was baffled by her response and started questioning Rene about why she wasn't mad. Rene explains, "Hunny, you're not making the same mistakes as me. I mean I assumed it was already said and done, when I saw you last fall." This makes Bella feel relieved and made her look forward to the wedding a little bit more. Bella makes Edwards sister, Alice her maid of honer. Alice who must plan everything and has an eye for fashion, is organizing, planning, decorating, and everything and above for Bellas wedding..considering Bella wants no part in it whats so ever.
