BPOV:
"What'd you think he's doing?" I asked as soon as Eric told me Edward went somewhere. I thought and thought but nothing came to mind. Ugh, so frustrating!
"I don't know, maybe to get you some balloons and chocolate or whatever. You know? Boyfriend stuff." she laughed. I yawned.
"Oh. My. God! This pain medicine is making me SO tired." I said exasperated. Alice and Eric laughed at me. They just didn't understand.
"Okay Bella." Eric chuckled. "Get some sleep." They left and I fell into a peaceful sleep.
---------------------------------1 hour later---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
"Bella." someone whispered. My eyes slowly opened to my bronze haired angel, a grin lit up his face.
"Where've you been." I asked in a painful laugh. My ribs ached, the pain medicine wearing off. I groaned.
"Are you okay Bella love?" his voice concerned. His eyebrows pulled together.
"Yeah, I'm fine." I assured him then repeated my question.
"Oh I went out and got you some flowers," he held up some Tiger Lilies, my all time favorite flower, "and some chocolates." he handed me a small heart-shaped box. Then put the lilies on my bedside table.
"Aw, thanks." I opened the box of chocolates, expecting it to be just that-a box of chocolates- what was in the box was unexpected as it was extravagant. I could've cried! Actually I would have if I wasn't so overwhelmed with shock and joy.
Edward got down on one knee, and got the diamond ring out of the box.
EPOV:
"Isabella Marie Swan," I pronounced her name clearly, "I love you with all my heart and soul, and I was just wondering…would you spend the rest of your life with me?"
She started crying. She actually looked shocked that her boyfriend of 3 years would propose. She nodded and I proudly put the ring on her third finger of her left hand. I gave her a huge hug- very gently.
Then her lips met mine with so much joy, so much enthusiasm, that tears streamed down my face. My plan was to let Bella do whatever she wants before she died. She didn't know death was coming to take her away. She thought that her ribs, and hand and concussion would heal and everything would be handy-dandy.
We were still kissing when Alice walked into the room. "Ew! Get a room!" she said sarcastically. We paid no heed, so she left.
This moment was perfect! Nothing could ruin this for us. Nothing except Bella stopped and gasped out in pain and held her side. "Bella, honey are you okay?" I asked totally worried.
"Yeah," she panted, "it's nothing." I didn't buy it.
"Let me see." I said gently but still with authority.
"No! It's nothing!" she groaned. I moved her hands and felt where she'd been holding her side. I felt something hard sticking out of her skin. She winced and then whined a little.
I lifted her hospital gown a little. A broken hip was poking through. Bella groaned and then flopped over. I stared at her in horror. She needed help, so I willed myself to move, to make my frozen feet move one foot in front of the other.
As the terror hit I sprinted out of the room and found a doctor. Acting on impulse I grabbed his white lab coat.
"Hurry! My Bella is in pain!" I yelled tears streaming down my face, "Hurry!" I ran back and kneeled next to her bed.
"It's okay honey." I assured soothingly to my unconscious fiancée, "A doctors coming! Everything'll be fine." I was trying to convince me more than her. The doctor walked in.
I showed him the rib and told him exactly what happened. "Hurry! Give her the morphine! She's hurting!" He pulled out a needle and filled it with the morphine from the vile and put it in her IV tube.
Even though she couldn't feel the pain now I was recklessly worried. "Fix it! Please!" I plead sounding like a frantic six year old, but I couldn't help it. He called another doctor through his walkie-talkie and then made his way to the operating room.
I was close by his heels, then he noticed my presence and turned on me. "Sir we need you back in the room."
"Please Dr…" I looked at his name tag, "Newton, as a doctor and a loving fiancée, let me be in there to do whatever I can for her." I was at the the point where I'd get on my knees and grovel, no need because he nodded and led the way.
Another doctor held the door for us. I ran in and grabbed a mask and some latex gloves.
