Hey thank you all for the support you gave me with my other stories this one came to me in a weird place I hope you like it.
The mood in the small hospital room of Forks, Washington was sombre Chief Charlie Swan sat by the bedside of his daughter Bella Swan. Her mother Renee sat on the bed holding Bella's hand silent tears flooding her eyes.
He sighed as he looked over to the window at Edward Bella's boyfriend he looked the same since she was brought in, he look like he was in pain his eyes never left her ever.
Charlie looked back at Bella he remembered when he got the phone call he was at work it was a slow day no major calls out or attacks. He was catching up on some paper work that he had missed when Bella was in her zombie state.
His phone rang so he sighed as he picked up the phone "Forks Police Department Chief Swan".
"Chief Swan its Carlisle Bella's been in an accident she's at the hospital" Charlie didn't even respond as he slammed the phone down and rushed out the building. He made it to the hospital in record time having a police cruiser helped.
He noticed Carlisle at the nurse's station "Carlisle what happened?" Carlisle showed Charlie to his office and sat him down. "It seems that whilst she was painting the side of your house she lost her footing on the step of the ladder she was on and she hit her head on the tree that grows near her window".
Charlie gasped "Charlie did you know Bella was gonna do some DIY on your house today" he asked. Charlie nodded "yeah she said she was sick of the colour and the banging of the loose boards I tried to do some but I can do DIY just as well as I can cook" Carlisle chuckled.
"I suggested getting some of the guys from the rez to come but she was adamant against that said she would be fine doing it herself that way she knows it would get done properly". Carlisle nodded with a smile that sounded exactly like Bella.
"Can I see her?" he asked Carlisle nodded and showed him to her room she looked so small laid on the bed. She had a tube in her mouth and a bandage around her head he walked up to her and took her hand.
"Oh Bella" he sighed "Edward was the one that found her he had tried ringing her and upon getting no answer he immediately went over and found her we don't know how long she was lying there so its hard to tell how severe the damage to her brain is until she wakes up and we have no idea when that will be its all up to Bella".
Charlie nodded his head and sat down on the chair near the bed and that's where he has been for several days. He had left once to phone Renee and that's it Edward had also refused to leave.
The nurses would come in to check her vitals and Carlisle would come in at times to check her brain activity his face was hard for Charlie to read so he never knew if it was good or bad news.
Jake came in every now and then but the tension between him and Edward never allowed them both to stay in the same room to long together.
She also received visits from the rest of Jake's friends Sam and Emily had come in together luckily Carlisle had managed to get Edward to leave for a short while allowing Bella's other friends chance to see her.
"How are you doing Chief Swan" asked Emily politely Charlie gave her a small smile he liked Emily she wasn't like some of the other girls from the reservation.
She was kind and well mannered and really beautiful even with the scars running down the side of her face "its Charlie when I am off duty and I'm as well as I can be" he said.
She smiled at him and placed a comforting hand on his shoulder Renée had moved from her spot to the other side near Charlie to allow them near Bella.
Emily stroked Bella's hair and kissed her on the forehead "wake up soon Bella" she whispered and to Charlie's surprise Sam also gave Bella a kiss on the forehead.
"Come on silly girl I didn't save you that day so you could leave us now" he said before kissing her again and leaving with Emily. Not long after they had left Quil and Embry walked in they also kissed Bella and wished her well soon as did Jared and Kim.
Charlie was surprised at the emotion each of these big men showed for Bella he hadn't realised she had touched them all this much. He was even more surprised to see Paul walk in the door slowly Charlie looked at Renée "can you give us a minute please" she looked between them and nodded before leaving the room.
"How are you doing Paul" he asked as Paul finally made it to the bed Paul nodded instead of looking at him he kept his eyes on Bella.
Charlie sighed "thank you for coming I know you hate hospitals" Paul nodded again "is she gonna be alright?" he asked quietly.
Charlie shrugged his shoulders "no one knows it all depends on when she wakes up I do know that the longer she stays like this the bigger the chance of her never waking up".
Paul nodded he liked Bella even when they were kids he liked her. Since she had come back he had watched her from afar never getting close to her its was nothing personal he was like with everyone even his thoughts are guarded when he phases.
The rest of the pack doesn't know about his past he would of preferred Charlie not knowing but that couldn't be helped.
He gently stroked her face and gripped her hand before leaving with a quick nod to Charlie.
That's they way it went for a month Edward would be there on the nights due to school and the guys from the rez that weren't in school would come during the day. The rest would come on a weekend Charlie made sure Edward was not there then so it was awkward.
He and Renée never left her side they both slept on the chairs in the room his deputy ran the place in his absence and Phil texted in every now and then for updates from Renée.
So when Bella finally opened her eyes on the cold morning Charlie and Renee breathed a sigh of relief. Charlie smiled as Bella looked at him then at Renee.
Carlisle came in and also smiled at Bella as she looked up at him "Well hello Bella it's good to see you awake" Bella's forehead creased in confusion which didn't go when she turned back to Charlie and Renee.
"Who *cough* who are you? *cough*" she asked with a raspy voice all three adults looked at each other with concern.
Renee touched Bella's face but retracted back when Bella flinched away "don't you remember me sweetie" she asked Bella shook her head slowly Renee looked at Carlisle "the damage to her head appears to be worse than we thought".
It took another week before she was allowed home everyone had stopped by to see her Edward, Jake even her friends from school but Bella still didn't remember any of them but the rest of the guys from the reservation stayed away all except Emily and Sam.
Her reaction to Edward surprised not only Edward but Charlie too when he went to hold her hand she flinched and pulled her hand away. She looked at him with a little fear in her eyes then turned over in her bed facing away from him.
She looked over her house as Charlie helped her get settled back in "do you recognise anything Bella" she shook her head making him sigh "don't worry" he said "it will come back one day".
Bella nodded and went to sit in the living room as Charlie took a phone call she looked up at Renee who seemed like she wanted to say something but just didn't know what.
Charlie came back in with a smile "hey Bella how would you like to get some fresh air down on the rez Billy would like to see you".
"Billy? Rez?" she asked "the Indian reservation just on the outskirts of forks and Billy is an old friend he has known you since you were a baby he's Jake's father". Bella nodded and slowly stood up "I don't think this is a good idea Charlie" said Renee stopping them.
"No it's ok, I felt something when I was around Jake and Sam so I want to go and see them" Renee nodded and sighed as she watched Bella get in the cruiser and drive off leaving her alone in the house she had once run away from.
They got to Billy's quickly and just as they were about to knock on the door they heard cheering coming from the back garden they walked around and saw all the guys messing around.
"I didn't know about the rest being here if it's too much I can take you back" Bella shook her head "no its ok" she was staring at the group fascinated she smiled at their antics it stirred something inside her.
