I just completed Book One: Bella. The past forty pages were pretty uneventful. After destroying the down pillows and comforter, Edward has to call in Kaure and Gustavo to clean the lavish house up. The Portuguese housekeepers believe in legends of the vampires however their legend is slightly different from those around the world; their culture believes in the Libishomen--a blood-drinking demon who preys exclusively on beautiful women. It is understandable that the Portuguese woman suspects Edward to be a vampire one, because Edward is a vampire, and two, because he has Bella all alone in this large house on a remote island.
Bella begins to have very realistic dreams every night while on the island. She claims they are vivid and colorful and so realistic that she doesn't even realize she is dreaming until she wakes up. She dreams of this fair-skinned beautiful little boy with green eyes and the Volturi surrounding them. That is all that is revealed about her dreams. Other strange occurrences start to unfold. Bella is constantly sleeping and constantly hungry. One morning she suddenly feels sick to her stomach and pukes multiple times that morning. It's obvious that she is pregnant but the odd thing is that she already has a bump that she refers to as her nudge. She frantically calls Carlisle who determines that she is indeed pregnant. Edward arranges for them to return home immediately so Carlisle could "get that thing" out of her. Bella, frozen and not quite registering the situation, feels heart-broken that Edward would say such a thing.
Before leaving, Edward argues with the Portuguese woman in what seems to be an alien language to Bella. She did understand one thing. The woman placed her hands on Bella's stomach and quietly said, "morte." If you've taken any foreign language its not hard to figure out that that means dead. Bella makes one last phone call before leaving the island. She calls Rosalie, her stand-offish sister-in-law and begs "Please. You have to help me."
