The sun painted the white walls again when Bella woke up her eyes focusing on the room around her looking for a trace of Edward. A trace of anything a rose or a lily he knew her favorites. He knew how to make his presence notable even when he wasn't there. She must have sighed much louder as she faced out of the window than she thought because almost immediately Carlisle entered the room.
"My my now there's sleeping beauty how are you this morning Ms. Swan"
Bella kept her stare out the window "I am good doctor thank you for asking"
He could sense her lost voice her sad demeanor unlike the morning she awoke the first time. She had been so hopeful so ready to see her daughter and now nothing just a blank stare our open window.
"I am arranging your discharge tomorrow morning 11 am your father has already been notified"
Another soft sigh escaped her lips "Doctor?"
"Yes Ms. Swan" Carlisle answered
"My farther... he has been the only man to visit me here correct?"
The seconds seemed to pass like hours he understood now there was someone else the ring clenched in her small fragile hand when she arrived should have been his first clue. But not another soul had entered this room
"No ma'am" he spoke solid and firm even though inside his heart broke for her "Just your father Ms. Swan"
"Thank you" her voice fell faint focusing back outside as a tear ran down her slim cheek. She watched him turn around silently exiting the room. The way he moved caught her attention it was effortlessly sudden, just like Edward. It was possible her heart was simply getting the best of her but she continued to watch so intently that she was sure.
The day past the same as each day she had been in room 348. Past 8 Charlie arrived with Renesmee, then it was lunch, more time a brief walk to the sun parlor and time to say goodbye. Accept tonight Renessme sang "Momma comes home tomorrow Momma Momma Momma" as Charlie carried her under his arm out the door.
Home she thought, of course Charlie made it clear how was the guest room adjacent to her childhood room for her and Resnemeee to live and grow. They both knew it was the end of the life she shared with Edward her love, her secret she could never say or ask if he was ok to much was at stake. Propping herself against the pillow she thought of the family Edward spoke so briefly about the one he left years ago to be with her.. Could he have possibly gone back to them?
