A/N (If you've seen Supernatural S5 then you'll know how heaven works for them, well that is sort of what I used for this one shot. So when you think of Bella's heaven I want you to think of the meadow, prom, they're first date after Edward saved Bella from those three men. And their first kiss and any other time they were together.)

*~*~*~*Summary*~*~*~*

It was 2008 when Edward left Bella in the woods; 80 years later Bella's on her death bed. Can a visit from two old friends bring her the happiness she needs to pass over peacefully or will who they call make it harder. And what will await Bella in heaven.

*~*~*~*One-Shot*~*~*~*

Isabella Swan

"I hope you like your new room, Ms Swan." My perky nurse, Erin said while closing the blinds. "I'll be sure to bring some flowers in tomorrow to brighten the room a little." She said cheerfully before coming over to take my hand. "Are you sure there isn't anything I can get you?"

I nodded my head tiredly. "I'm sure dear, thank you." She got a little teary eyed when I started coughing. "Please don't worry about me sweetheart, I've lived my life now it's my time to go."

She nodded and held my hand in hers. "I know but I just wish… "

"I know." I said cutting her off. "But I'm fine just being by myself; it's always been that way."

She kissed my hand when her pager went off. "You're not by yourself; I'll be here with you until the end. I'll see you during my break."

I nodded and watched her walk to the door. "Wait, can you send someone in with a note book and pen?" I asked reaching over for the small water bottle.

"I will, Bella."

She was a real treat, probably because she reminded me so much of Alice. She would always come skipping into the room first thing in the morning before she signed into work and she'd always come back after her shift and tell me about her day.

Alice, I miss her so very much.

"Ms Swan, I have the notepad and pen you requested." I looked up to see Blake standing at the end of the bed holding up the notepad and packet of pens. "How are you feeling this morning?"

"Good considering I'm dying." I laughed holding out my hand. "Thank you dear, do you think you could maybe get my iPod out of the top draw for me."

He nodded and grabbed the iPod and plugged it into the speakers. "You know for something so old it's really quite beautiful." He commented as Debussy filled the air.

I chuckled and took the lid off the pen. "Of course it is, Clair De Lune is an ageless tune. The classic's never die, my dear." I closed my eyes and let the music take me back to when Edward used to play for me.

"I'll see you later, Ms Swan." Blake said patting my hand before leaving. I sighed and watched him leave closing the door behind him, lately I'd been letting myself think about Edward more and more and to my surprise it didn't hurt like it used to.

It would seem that thinking about the Cullen's has put me at some sort of ease.

Year 2106, February 5th

To My Dearest Alice

I don't know if you'll get this, or if you'll even see me writing it. But I'm going to write this anyway, I have things I need to tell you.

First off I want to tell you how much I miss you, you're my best friend and that'll never change no matter how long we've been apart. If by some chance you see me writing this then you'll know where I am and you'll come and say goodbye.

I'm dying Ali and I'm ashamed to say I'm scared, I will understand if you don't come and see me one last time. So if you don't come hopefully you'll still get this, and know how much I miss not only you but all of you.

I miss Carlisle and the way he used to smile kindly whenever I came to the house, I miss the way he'd shake his head whenever I tripped and chuckled whenever he saw I had a new bruise from falling.

I miss Esme and the loving hugs she used to give me whenever she saw me; I miss how she used to cook for me whenever I came over for the day. I love Esme as if she was a mother and I'll always love and think of her as such.

I miss Emmett and the way he used to tease me about everything just to see me blush, I miss the way he would pick me up in a bear hug and swing me around and I miss the cute double dimple smile he'd wear whenever Carlisle or Edward would scold him for being so rough.

And as much as this may shock you I often find myself missing Rosalie, I know we never really talked because she hated me but I loved Rosalie as a sister and I wish I could have gotten to know her better to have known why she was always so distant.

Despite our lack of relationship I knew that she wasn't just beautiful on the outside but beautiful, caring and loving on the inside as well.

I miss Jasper and even though he always kept his distance from me, I understood. I miss how he used to use his powers into persuading me to go shopping with you and I miss how he used to make me feel excited whenever you wanted to play 'Bella-Barbie'

You don't know how much I wish I could go back and just spend one afternoon shopping with you, or to have you play 'Bella-Barbie' just once more. But I can't and so I'll stick with the beautiful painful memories of you poking and plucking at me and scolding me for not staying still.

And mostly I miss him; there isn't a day that doesn't pass that I don't. I miss the way he smiles, and I miss his laugh and the way he looked at me. I miss the way he used to hum my lullaby when he held me at night; I miss the feeling of his cold arms around me.

Though he left saying he didn't love me, I know the truth because in the time we were together loved was something I felt whenever I was with him. You can't go from loving someone one day to not the next.

After you guys left I was broken, and not in a way that I would ever heal from. I stopped talking to our friends, I stopped talking to everyone. You've seen those zombie movies? Well that was what I was like, I walked, talked but I didn't feel and I didn't for a very long time.

After four months of nothing Charlie started to worry, and so to get him off my back I started hanging out with Jacob Black. I don't know if you remember him but he came to the school a few times, anyway he's from the reservation down at La Push and he's also a werewolf… he took away my pain Alice, he made me feel again.

I married Jacob when he turned eighteen; I think it's pretty funny how I always attract the younger guys but that's a different story.

We were together for four years until he imprinted, basically he feel in love. He tried to make us work but in the end I left him, I didn't love him and I wasn't cruel enough to keep him from someone who did.

So after I divorced I moved to Jacksonville and attended college. I became a teacher and after fifteen years I became principle and remained so until I was sixty-three. I never remarried and I never had children.

You remember Angela Webber? Well she and Ben married after college and they moved to Jacksonville. After I retired I went into business with Angela and we helped the homeless in ways that no one else could or would.

We gave them education and a place to stay, the mayor had been thankful for everything we had done and named us the 'Jacksonville saints'

Angela died almost eight years ago; she had nine children, fourteen grandchildren and three great-grandchildren. I'm a god-mother to all of them. Ben passed away last year and now I guess it's my time.

I hope to see you before I die, but if that doesn't happen then I want you to know that I love you and I'll never stop. And if by some chance I end up at those golden gates I'll be sure to put in a good word for all of you because no one deserves heaven as much as you Cullen's do.

I'm getting tired now so I'm going to end this letter, I love you all with every fibre of my heart and I wish you all a happy forever.

All My Love

Isabella Marie Swan.

I signed off and folded it tucking it away in the draw; I'll get Erin to get me an envelope when she comes in from lunch. I snuggled down in my hospital bed and let sleep over take me, my dreams were filled with happy memories of the Cullen's.

Alice Cullen

"Excuse me; we're looking for a Ms Isabella Swan." Carlisle said when we reached the front desk. I was beside him and I looked horrible, like I had been dry sobbing for hours, which I probably was.

"Are you family of Bella's?" the women asked looking over us.

"We are, I'm Dr Carlisle Cullen. Bella's an old friend of mine." Carlisle explained.

A woman from the end of the counter walked over to us. "Bella's sleeping right now, but I'm sure she'll wake up soon. If you like I'll take you to sit with her." She offered walking around the desk. We both nodded and followed her down the halls. "I'm Erin; I've been Bella's nurse for the last three weeks."

"I'm Carlisle, this is my daughter Alice." Carlisle said holding my hand.

The girl smiled kindly. "It's nice to meet you, I'm glad she'll have someone here with her. The doctors don't think she'll last the week." Just as she said this she walked into a room and moved to the side allowing us in.

There, lying in a bed was an old lady. She was beautiful but paler then a vampire. Her hair was a mix of white and grays, she looked so peaceful sleeping and if I didn't have super hearing and if the heart monitor wasn't there, I'd have thought she was dead.

"She's been dropping in and out every now and again, her heart's getting weaker and weaker every day." Erin said running her hand over her face. "She's a real treat, a lovely lady."

I froze in the isle dropping the small basket I had been carrying. "Oh god, please no." I sobbed backing into a wall staring off into the distance.

I was getting weird glances from the people walking past but I didn't care, I pulled myself together and walked out of the store. I got into my car and drove to the hospital; I couldn't believe what I'd just seen. Eighty years of not seeing her future I was hit with that, I wanted to run home and curl up with Jasper but Carlisle and I needed to leave now.

20 Minutes later

"Alice, what are you doing here?" Carlisle asked when he saw me walking up to him; he was standing at the front desk checking off a patient. "Alice what's wrong? Did something happen, is everyone okay?" he asked becoming panicky.

I broke down sobbing when he touched me, he pulled me into his chest as I sobbed holding onto him. "We n-need t-to g-go."I sobbed into his chest.

"Alice, Shh, go where? You're scaring me." He admitted as I continued to sob, I knew we were getting weird glances from patients and the doctors but I couldn't seem to control my sobs.

"Carlisle, its Bella… she's dying, we need to go and be with her." I said pulling away. "I saw it, we have to go now."

He looked shocked but complied; he signed out and said he didn't know when he'd be back. Then he called home and told Esme that something had come up and that we'd be back as soon as possible. He didn't give her any details just that he'd call.

"What did you see Alice?" Carlisle asked during the plane ride.

"I saw us go into a hospital. I saw a girl named Erin and I saw her tell us that the doctors didn't think that Bella would last the week and I saw her take us to Bella's room where she laid." Carlisle wrapped his arm around me again and held me as I came apart.

"Did you see the others?"

"No, I only saw us walking in."

"Maybe Bella will want the others there." Carlisle said hopefully.

Hospital in Jacksonville

Carlisle and I walked into the hospital hand in hand and walked up to the front desk. "Excuse me; we're looking for a Ms Isabella Swan." Carlisle said when we reached the front desk.

"Are you family of Bella's?" the women asked looking over us.

"We are; I'm Dr Carlisle Cullen. Bella's an old friend of mine." Carlisle explained.

The woman from my vision walked over to us with a friendly smile. "Bella's sleeping right now, but I'm sure she'll wake up soon. If you like I'll take you to sit with her." She offered walking around the desk. We both nodded and followed her down the halls. "I'm Erin; I've been Bella's nurse for the last three weeks."

"I'm Carlisle, this is my daughter Alice." Carlisle said holding my hand.

"It's nice to meet you, I'm glad she'll have someone here with her. The doctors don't think she'll last the week." She pushed the door open and walked in holding it wider for us to walk through.

Just like my vision Bella was in the bed, she was definitely not the eighteen year old girl I remember playing 'Bella-Barbie' with but she was still beautiful, just old and gray.

"She's been dropping in an out every now and again, her heart's getting weaker and weaker every day." Erin said running her hand over her face. "She's a real treat, a lovely lady."

Carlisle walked over to the bed and took her hand. "That she is, I'm so sorry Bella."

I walked over and stood beside him, I couldn't believe this was really happening. It wasn't meant to be like this, she was meant to be nineteen years old and living with us forever. She was meant to be at Edward's side for the rest of eternity but instead she was lying in a bed dying.

Erin left saying she'd be back after work to check on her and she'd see us later, Carlisle went to read her chart at the end of the bed while I took her hand and just watched over her. After twenty minutes she started to stir, I ran my hand over her forehead and watched as she slowly opened her eyes.

She looked confused and shocked seeing me but then her eyes moved to Carlisle. "Alice, Carlisle? What are you doing here?" She croaked out as she looked around and reached for her water bottle. I reached over and got it for her stopping her from moving. "Thanks Alice."

I smiled sadly and sat down on the edge of the bed. "I had a vision of us coming to a hospital, and then I saw you sleeping. Carlisle and I left and came straight here."

"How are you Bella?" Carlisle asked walking to the other side of the bed to take her hand.

She smiled and a single tear fell down her pale cheek. "I'm dying; and I'm not sure what I'm supposed to feel about that or how I feel."

Carlisle wiped a tear from her cheek. "I'm so sorry Bella, I wish I could go back and change you when I had the chance. But I honestly thought he would wake up and go back to you." Carlisle admitted in defeat.

She smiled and reached her hand out to cup his cheek. "It's okay Carlisle, I understand. Don't beat yourself up."

He placed his hand over hers holding her to him. "We're here for you, until the end."

She smiled and tapped his cheek. "You don't have to, I'm sure you have work to get back to."

"Bella we're staying here with you, I left you once, I won't do it again." I said looking her straight in the eyes as I said this. "You're my best friend."

"In the top draw there's an envelope can you give it to me." She asked nodding to the white draw beside her bed.

'Alice Cullen' was written on the front in Bella's surprisingly neat writing.

"I wrote it yesterday, I had hoped I'd see you again to give it to you personally." She explained. "Don't open it until after I'm gone, promise me Ali?"

I nodded placing it on top of my bag. "I promise, can I ask what's in it?"

She chuckled and shook her head. "No, you'll find out when you read it. There should be another one in there for Edward; I didn't plan on giving that to him personally so I hope you'll give it to him for me."

"Would you like to give it to him personally?" Carlisle asked looking at her intently looking for any sign of being able to call the others, I knew he hated not being able to have Esme here with him so she could say goodbye.

"I'd love to see him again, but I hate the thought of him seeing me old." She admitted trying to make it a joke even though I knew she would love to see him one last time. Maybe I should let Carlisle call him just so he could come and see what he's done.

"He wouldn't care if your old or not, he loves you Bella."

Carlisle nodded in agreement. "He would be very upset if he wasn't here with you, and I'm sure Esme would love to be here as well."

I saw her eyelids drooping as she shook her head. "I'll be fine by myself… " she said before she drifted off to sleep. Carlisle sighed and ran a hand over her forehead.

"Call them, Edward needs to see her and more importantly she needs to see him." I said looking down at the letter, I longed to read it while she was sleeping but I promised.

Edward Cullen

"Esme do you think you and the family could catch the next plane to Jacksonville?"Carlisle's voice came through the phone.

"Sure, but is everything okay?" Esme asked concerned, she had been worrying about Carlisle and Alice since he called two days ago telling us they'd be home soon.

"No, it's not okay"he answered sounding upset. "We're in the hospital, and Alice and I need you guys here."

At the mention of Alice needing us there Jasper stopped playing halo with Bree and took the phone from Esme. "Is everything okay, is Alice okay? Can I talk to her?"

"No son, she's inside. She could really use your strength right now; I'll meet you all at the front entrance. And tell Edward to hunt before he comes."

"Okay, we're leaving now." Jasper said before hanging up.

Hospital

"Why the hell are we here?" Rosalie asked as we began walking towards the front doors.

"Because Carlisle said he needed us." Esme said looking around for Carlisle.

"I wonder why, do you think Alice had a vision of him changing someone?" Bree asked looking around in wonder and confusion. She was the youngest and was almost as annoying as Alice but she was just as loved and filled the void that was missing since Bella.

"I don't know why we're here, but if my Alice needs me then I'm here." Jasper said confidently, just then Carlisle came out of the doors and walked straight to Esme.

He was blocking me out and I could tell he was angry, but I couldn't figure out at who. He pulled back and without a word led us into the hospital and up to the second floor. When we reached a door he turned to me and pushed the door open, we all filed into the room and what I saw broke my heart.

Lying on the bed was my sister, cuddled up into the side of an old lady. The lady's heart beat was weak and I could tell that she was dying, she had a few days at the most but as I allowed myself to breathe in, the most luscious scent assaulted my senses.

"No… " I growled as I realized just who the old lady was in the bed, it was my Bella.

Carlisle turned to me with such hatred and anger in his eyes. "Do you see this? It's because of you. If you hadn't of been so stubborn and pig headed you'd have seen that she belonged with us. My daughter is lying in that bed because you wouldn't change her!" he growled his eyes black with his anger.

"Carlisle… " Esme said placing a hand on his chest.

"No, Esme, she loves him and he doesn't deserve it! You gave up your only chance at happiness son, and now we've all got to face the consequences… "

"Carlisle… " this time it wasn't Esme's voice but Bella's. "Don't make me spend my last hours listening to you two fight, since you've gone against what I asked you can you let him in so I can see his handsome face." She laughed sitting up in bed, Alice wrapped her arms around her and pulled her up into a sitting position. "Well come here."

I walked over to the side of the bed that Alice wasn't on and took her hand. "I'm so sor… "

Her hand came up to rest on my lips her chocolate eyes blazing with a fire I had only sweet memories of. "Don't you dare apologize, what is done is done. I don't want you to be sorry; I don't want to hear you tell me how sorry you are because it won't change anything Edward."

I sighed in defeat and nodded. "I never meant what I said all those years ago, love."

"I know, but I don't want to think about it anymore." She said seriously. "I don't want to dwell on the past anymore, so why don't you all tell me what you've been doing." She asked looking around the room her eyes settling on Bree.

"That's Bree; she's our new little sister." I explained.

Isabella Swan POV

I woke up to the sound of little Izzy's voice in my ear. "Nana wakes up please."

I smiled at the sound of her tiny voice. "Izzy what are you doing, leave Bella alone." Gavin's voice growled from across the room.

"Trying to wake Nana, she should be awake it's rude to sleep when you have quests… " she said in an innocent voice repeating the words I'd often told her whenever she slept over.

"I'm awake." I chuckled weakly opening my eyes to see the Cullen's and the Webbers in the room. I looked at Izzy as she smiled widely. "Good evening Princess."

"Afternoon Nana, you're being very lazy." She said shaking her head. "You shouldn't sleep all day; it's very bad for you."

I heard a collective amount of chuckles. "Is that so?"

"Yep." She said popping on the 'P' nodding her head like a bobble head causing her dark curls to fall around her face as they bounced with her movements.

I chuckled and tucked her brown hair behind her head, she looked just like Angela. "Well I don't want to be rude or lazy now do I?" I said kissing her forehead before turning to her mother. "Has the paper work gone through?"

When Angela died her half of the shelter went to Ben, and then when he died he left his half to their granddaughter Angela Marie Webber. And now that I'm dying I'm also leaving my half to her.

She sighed and moved her six month old son to her other hip. "It's all done; I seriously have no idea how the hell I'm going to run this thing without you." She got a little teary eyed.

"You'll be fine; we wouldn't have trusted you with it if we didn't think so." I said strongly. "Has everyone met?" I asked looking around the room.

"Yes, Angela is Ben and Angie's granddaughter right?" Alice said from my side.

"That's right… " I started to say but stopped when Izzy asked me a question.

"Nana are you going to live with Poppy in heaven?" I looked back down at her and saw she had tears in her eyes as she looked at me. "I don't want you to leave, do you have to go?"

I looked at Angela as she cried silently into little Gavin's hair; I sighed and patted my lap for Izzy to sit in. "I do, but I'll always be in here with you." I said touching her heart. "Okay?"

She buried her head in my chest and nodded. "I'll miss you."

I kissed her forehead and closed my eyes. "I'll miss you too, all of you. But you're going to be fine, and you'll be a good girl for mommy and daddy right?"

She nodded weakly into my chest. "I will."

Next day

I could hardly keep my eyes open but I needed to make sure Edward didn't do anything stupid. I turned my head to the side and saw Edward sitting in a chair beside the bed with his eyes closed.

"E-Edward?" I croaked out, if he had of been human I'm not sure he would have heard me.

"I'm here love, I'm right here." Edward said taking my hand in his.

I tried to smile but I couldn't, I could feel the heart monitor slowing down and I knew I was dying. "I love you… " I whispered.

He rested his forehead against mine. "I love you too." He whispered, he leaned down and kissed my lips. I kissed him back weakly. "It's going to be okay."

I shook my head and lifted my free hand to cup his hand. "No, it's not. I want you to promise me something."

"Anything… " he said without hesitating.

I smiled thinking about all those years ago how I had done the same thing. "Don't do anything stupid or reckless, don't go to the Volturi and ask them to kill you. Promise me, Edward that you'll be okay."

He shook his head. "I can't promise Bella… "

"I kept mine, I did what you asked me to and I tried to live a normal life. Now I'm dying and you won't make me the same promise?" I knew I wasn't playing fairly but I wouldn't die until he promised me. "All you have to do is stay safe, and look after your family. They need you, and I need to know you'll be safe and alive before I can pass on."

His eyes searched mine as he finally nodded. "I promise."

I smiled and turned to Alice who was sitting beside me. "Look after him, and feel free to kick his ass if he tries anything." I said weakly I could feel my eyes dropping but I fought. "I love you Ali, forever."

She stood up and kissed my forehead. "I'll love you forever too Bella." She whispered pulling back to run her hand over my cheek. "You can go now, I promise to take care of everything."

I smiled and looked back at Edward one last time, committing his face to memory. "You'll find love again, my love. You just need to have faith." I whispered as my eyes dropped. I could hear the monitor getting slower and before I knew it I could hear the line go flat.

(Bella's Spirit/Ghost)

I looked on as I watched the final moments of my life; Edward's forehead was on mine as he held my hand. His shoulders shaking with sobs, I walked towards him and placed a hand on his shoulder. As I raised my hand I saw that it wasn't old or wrinkly, it was small and young… I grabbed a lock of my hair and gasped at the feeling of how soft and smooth it was, I looked at the lock of hair and saw it was no longer gray and white but the beautiful rich chocolate colour.

"I love you Bella." I heard Edward whisper bringing my attention back to him.

I placed my hand on his shoulder knowing he wouldn't feel it; I leaned in and kissed his cheek. "I'll forever love you, Edward Cullen. Remember your promise."

"I promise, love." He whispered kissing my forehead again.

I heard my name being called and I turned to see a white hallway, I looked back around the room and saw the Cullen's all holding someone as they sobbed. I wanted to go back to Edward but I felt a hand come down on my shoulder.

"He'll be okay Bells, but it's time for you to join us." I looked up to see my father Charlie smiling down at me. He was handsome just like he was when I was little. "Come on Bells, let's go join our family."

I took his hand and nodded to myself. "I love you, my love." I called before turning to follow Charlie down the white halls.

As we passed through the halls I saw my family, my friends but as we reached the end I saw Renee, Phil, Angela, Ben and there were another couple who I didn't know, but I had a feeling they were Edward's parents.

"This is Edward sir and his wife Elizabeth." Charlie said as we passed them. "They're a part of you because you're a part of their son. You're his soul-mate."

I chuckled bitterly and turned to look behind me. "Then why am I here and not with him?"

"Because your destiny changed, and you were needed elsewhere." Renee said walking towards me. "But never fear my dear, you and Edward will meet again someday."

I smiled hopefully and watched as the door closed blocking off my view of Edward and the Cullen's. With a sigh I took a moment to look around, I raised an eyebrow and saw I was back in Forks with my family.

"Heaven is what you want it to be, Bella." Angela said walking up to me and wrapping her arms around my waist. "Forks is your heaven, go and enjoy it sweetie."

And I did, I spent my time in heaven reminiscing on my best memories in forks. The meadow was the first place I went to, and I was happy to find that Edward was there, not in spirit but in the memory. If this was what heaven was like then I was going to enjoy it, it might not have been as good as the real thing but I'd take what I could get.

"Do you really have any idea how important you are to me? Any concept at all of how much I love you?" Edward asked rolling onto his side to face me, he lifted his hand to brush a finger and thumb over my cheek.

I leaned into his touch and smiled up into his honey topaz eyes. "No one's ever loved anyone as much as I love you." I whispered leaning forward to kiss him, but unlike in reality he didn't pull back he rolled on his back and pulled me with him.

Edward rolled us over and hovered above me. "And so the lion fell in love with the lamb… "

I grinned and trailed my index finger along his jaw. "What a stupid lamb."

He chuckled sadistically and pecked my lips. "What a sick, masochistic lion."
