Bella POV
As I opened my eyes to see the view in front of me, I would never have imagined seeing the most perfect face, gorgeous golden eyes, just right pale skin, blonde hair gelled ever so slightly back, the most perfect smile on his face. As I tried to focus, to see whether I was still dreaming or not, I noticed the white walls, the smell of bleach, sterile equipment everywhere, and even worse, I could smell blood, I sat up slowly and reached for the bowl near me, I started to retch at the smell of the blood, the beautiful man now by my side, holding my hair back, whispering calming words into my ear. I knew not who this man was or why he was doing these intimate gestures but all I knew is that I wanted him to carry on...and stop at the same time, once I felt the sickness leave me, I looked over at him. "What are you doing?" I asked. "Soothing you sweetheart, I was so worried!" He replied. I shook my head, sweetheart? No, that wasn't right, I was single, I have been for years, I prefer the single life, but this man was looking at me with confused and pleading eyes, I must be something to him. "Just remind me...where am I?" I asked. "Your in the hospital, you must remember surely?" "Remember what?" "We were on our way up here for your appointment, on our way a lorry came hurtling towards us, you have been in a medically induced coma for two and a half months" He explained. I shook my head again, bringing the sickness back, I vomited again as this man rubbed my back."And you are?" I asked once I regained myself. "Isabella, that isn't funny, you know who I am" He said rather sternly. I shook my head, "Not a clue" I replied. "Look at your left hand" He told meI did as he told me and looked down at my left hand where I saw a simple golden wedding band, I gasped almost in shock, there was no way I was married, I was only 19!"No, no, I'm only 19, I've only just left college!" I shouted. In that instant the man looked very worried, "Isabella, your not 19 darling, listen to me, your married...to me, we have a child together, your 23 years old" "No, I do not have a child and am most certainly not married, I don't know who you are or what your doing but you can stop it" I stressed, I looked away from this man, closing my eyes, only opening them again when I heard him leave the room. Carlisle POVShe didn't remember, I had hoped the doctors were wrong, but she didn't remember that we're married or about our small son, Joshua, this hurt, as she looked away I took one look at her to know that she wasn't fooling around, and as a doctor, I knew better then to press her. I walked out of the room, and up to the doctor in charge of her care. "What is going on? She doesn't remember anything, you told me the risk of amnesia was small" "Now Mr. Cullen, you know as well as I do that there is never a certainty on these things" Dr. Greene replied, a cocky doctor who was once my junior. "Yes and you know as well as I do that Josh wants to see his mum, what am I supposed to tell him? 'Sorry son, but your mum has completely forgotten we exist'"Dr. Greene shook his head, "Amnesia takes time, just give her time, tell Josh that mummy still isn't up for visitors" "He is a three year old child who hasn't seen mummy in two and a half months because it may upset him, and when I get home the last thing I want to do is lie to him, tell him that mummy is still very poorly and doctors needed to keep her alseep for longer, I already told him that she would be woken up today, and what's going to happen when she see's her small baby bump? How are we going to explain that?" "I don't know, but the last thing we need is to stress your wife out further" I sighed and turned back towards the room, I watched my gorgeous wife unconsciously rub her belly, then notice what she had done, as she looked at the bump, I heard the scream, then the heart monitor going crazy, I didn't want to know whether it was her monitor or the once attached to her stomach to monitor the baby, as the nurses and Dr. Greene rushed into the room to calm the situation down I watched through the window as they medicated Isabella back to sleep, it pained me so much to watch, just knowing that she didn't remember me and Josh was hard enough but to forget she was pregnant and freak out, that was harder. As a doctor I saw this all the time, but you never realise how hard it is until it happens to you. I sighed then turned away to go home, I would have to tell Josh what was now the truth, mummy was still asleep. Alice POVToday was the day, Bella would be woken up, Josh could maybe stop needing us to sleep near him because he was scared, don't get me wrong, I love my little brother to bits but because he was so scared of one of us falling ill like mummy we had to be around him almost twenty-four-seven. Not to mention that as vampires we could not 'fall ill' as Carlisle had put it, it still needed all our patience to deal with a very upset three year old who constantly asked question. "Alice?" I heard a small voice ask from next to me. "Yeah, Josh" I replied, we were lying on Bella and Carlisle's bed, he got upset so I agreed we could go for cuddles and his favourite place was mummy's bed at the moment. "Mummy will be awake today" He told me simply. "I hope so Josh, we need to wait for daddy though""Why can daddy go hospital and not me?" He asked. "Well when mummy had that accident, the doctors said that only daddy, Grandpa, me, Jasper, Emmett, Rose, Edward and Esme could go as it might scare little boys like you" "I big boy though, daddy told me so" "He did, and you are, but no matter how much of a big boy you are you can still get scared" I explained. He cuddled closer to me and settled to sleep, about half an hour later I heard Carlisle's car pull up.
Carlisle POV
I stepped into the house, carefully placing ,y keys down just in case Josh was asleep. After a few minutes, Alice come down the stairs, I sat down on the sofa as she came to sit with me.
"Josh is asleep" She told me.
"I cannot thank you lot enough for all you've been doing to help me at this time" I said, cuddling my daughter close.
"How did it go at the hospital?" She asked.
I sighed, Alice moved away from the cuddle to look at me, "Isabella did awaken, she got upset, she can't remember a thing, not me or Josh, I walked out of the room and she touched her stomach, noticing her bump, she freaked, I am not sure whether it was hers or the baby's heart rate but it sped, so they've put her back into a coma, not sure how long for this time, so Josh can't come still"
"I'm sorry Carlisle, she will recover, I just know it" Alice smiled.
I smiled back, standing, "Thanks Alice, listen, go and hunt, I want to spend some time alone with Joshua"
Alice smiled, then with typical Cullen speed was gone, I sighed, walking upstairs to the room I shared with my loving wife, the room we conceived our children, the room where we said many secrets and tales, I saw Joshua asleep on the bed and sighed, I climbed in next to him causing him to stir.
"It's okay mate, it's only daddy" I said.
"Where mummy?" Was his response.
"Mummy is still poorly so the doctor decided not to wake her yet, but give it time mate, mummy will get better in time" I told him, I knew I was only trying to convince myself
"And baby?"
I looked at him, then held him close, "Baby is fine, healthy" I told him.
With that Joshua fell back asleep, I listened to him talk in his sleep, he was talking to his mummy, convinced Bella was here, I could feel my little lads pain and it killed my dead heart, I sat looking at my favourite picture, it was of me and Bella on our wedding day, she was two months from her 22nd birthday, her light brown curls were waved down her shoulders, her dress fitting her form perfectly, I looked the same as always but never as happy as I was then, and we were holding 2 year old Joshua in our arms, the perfect little family.
Buzz. Buzz.
I looked at my phone which was on the bedside table, picking it up, careful not to disturb Joshua.
'Carlisle, just got a call from the hospital, Bella is now awake and wants to see me, I think you should come along. Charlie'
I sighed, I thought they had placed her back to sleep.
'Charlie, did they not put her back in a coma? Carlisle'
His reply came quickly;
'No, they just sedated her mildly, but when she was asleep she kept saying Joshua's name, I think we should go up there'
'I have Joshua though, I can't leave him'
'Bring him, see you soon'
I sighed, did Charlie not know about the amnesia? Regardless we needed each other right now, we all needed to be strong for Bella. I woke Josh up.
"Want to see mummy?" I asked.
He shot up, "Yes!" He shouted.
"Let's get you dressed then little man" I smiled as we climbed out of bed, I got Josh dressed then we went to the car, hospital here we come.
