I have 2 betta's and i want think and accidentally put them together and a day later i look and the female is plumper than usual also it looks like you can see white ball looking thing near her stomach i need a pic of the female when she is pregnant with the fry
Ive never breed fish before also their names are Edward and isabella
its on the under part of the fish its like it has white small cotton balls
 
Be very careful, bettas breed under certain circumstances. If the white spot is anywhere other than what that picture shows from the previous post, remove her immediately.

Bettas have a problem with bullying other bettas, even males against the females which is why most people house about 5 females with 1 male to keep the male from picking on a single female betta.

Female bettas are considered semi agressive community fish.

But yes if the white spot is anywhere other than the picture it means he's picking on her and she can't get away, if you don't take her out, her skin will literally tear open and she won't survive that.
 
She is gravid with unfertilized eggs. The white ovipositor should always be visible.

If you have never bred bettas before, and have done no prior research into the matter, the wisest course of action would be to separate them immediately. Male and female bettas should not be housed together unless they are a properly conditioned pair ready to spawn, and even then, the female is removed after spawning is complete.

~Could you post a picture of this? "cotton balls" did you mean to make it plural, or is there just the one? If the male was harassing her, she could be wounded. If this is the case she needs to be set up in a hospital tank and treated using aquarium salt and stresscoat.
