Illness

I was sitting on the sofa, curled up my head resting on Edward's chest, reading Wuthering Heights. I had been given a first edition copy for my "birthday" by Alice, Jasper and Renesmee. The book was leather bound and had the smell of old books. Renesmee and Rosalie were playing a classical music in the piano, while Alice and Jasper played cards. Emmett and Esme were hunting and Carlisle was at the hospital, Jacob and his pack were in La Push, dealing with pack business, whatever that was.

"love?" Edward asked stroking my hair, "do you want to go and hunt?"

"Huh?" I asked distracted by my book, "Oh no... I'm not thirsty or anything,"

The music from the piano stopped and Alice and Jasper both turned to look at me.

"What?" I asked confused

"Mom... your eyes are black," Renesmee said concerned.

"Bella, you haven't hunted in weeks" Edward said, he had now stopped stroking my hair and was looking me with more concern than I'd seen him have in years.

"Haven't I? Hmm" I let my shield down to show him I really didn't feel thirsty, but I decided I'd better hunt to be on the safe side, tomorrow was my first day at Forks High school...again. We'd been gone from Forks eighteen years, and now were returning, when everyone had moved on.

After hunting, Edward and I returned to the house, where Renesmee was dressed in her pyjamas and was about to go to bed.

"Goodnight Daddy," she said hugging Edward.

"Night baby," I said hugging her as she moved on to me. It was when she let go that it all went wrong.

"Bella?" Jasper asked running forward at vampire speed, "Are you alright?"

There was a strange sensation in my stomach and then I threw up.

"Mom? Are you alright?" Renesmee screamed.

"Alice go and get Carlisle," Edward shouted as I threw up again.

There was no need for Alice to move as Carlisle came down the stairs just in time to witness me throw up again.

"What's wrong with her Carlisle?" Edward asked sharply

"I don't know, if she was human, I'd suggest flu or a virus, maybe some bacteria, but she's a vampire she shouldn't get sick. I'm going to have to take her to the hospital for tests."

I stood up, clutching my stomach. The sensation had gone along with my urge to throw up.

"I'm fine," I breathed, "I don't need to go to hospital."

I was fooling no-one. Carlisle drove me to the hospital with Edward, and told me I would be in overnight. I was to be studied, and tests had to be done, all by Carlisle for obvious reasons.

Edward stayed with me and Renesmee tried to as well, she was lying on my bed with me but passed out about two in the morning. Edward hummed my lullaby to help her sleep, and I closed my eyes and listened to the beautiful melody he hummed.

I woke up to Edward and Carlisle talking in hushed voices at vampire speed. Wait a minute, woke up? How could I sleep? I was a vampire, we didn't sleep. That's when I realised that that was the very thing Carlisle and Edward were talking about.

"Where's Ness?" I asked, my mouth dry and my voice hoarse.

"She went to school, it's the first day," Edward said taking my hand and stroking it with his thumb.

"What's wrong with me?" I asked Carlisle

"We don't know that yet Bella," Carlisle said officially, "we haven't performed enough tests and..."

"What?" I asked as he trailed off

"You're acting kind of strange, Bella," Edward said kindly, "Last night, you were sleeping, I know because you were talking in your sleep like you used too."

I burst into tears, "What's wrong with me, Edward?"

He hugged me and rubbed my back, "We'll find out sweetie, I promise."

I didn't miss the worried glance he threw in Carlisle's direction, no doubt my tears were another symptom to add to the list.
