Chapter 4

My eyes began to flutter open which seems to be the first time in ages according to my reaction to the light. The light hurt my eyes, my body felt heavy as though I was being dragged down. My entire being ached then I realised I was wearing a hospital gown. Wait, I thought to myself, why on earth am I wearing a hospital gown and then the realisation hit me, I was in a hospital bed attached to an IV, for some strange reason I could not fathom.

It didn't take long for the events of the last day or so to flood back to my mind, all of which had led me to where I was now. I remembered first of all the phone call from a doctor, finding out about the accident, how Renee and Phil were hurt, going to Florida, finding out about Renee's condition and then before long, everything went black.

I suddenly thought oh my god, my baby, what if anything happened to my baby, I would never forgive myself, I wouldn't be able to live with myself. My hands went instinctively straight to my tummy in an effort to protect my baby. I shouldn't get so worked up and I could believe that I had put my baby in jeopardy. I hoped and prayed that my baby was okay.

It wasn't long before I realised that I needed to get the attention of either a nurse or a doctor so I pressed the call button and waited for someone to come. I was desperate to find out if everything was okay and in my agitated state I must have pressed the button on more than one occasion.

Eventually Dr Campton appeared and said "Ah I see you are awake Miss Swan ,you gave us quite a fright you know" as he approached my bed.

"Doctor please tell me that my baby is okay, please" I almost sobbed. Dr Campton looked confused as if he had not expected me to ask such a question then realization dawned on his face. "Oh of course your baby is just fine Miss Swan. It seems that your blood pressure is a little on the high side and you are a bit dehydrated which probably caused you to faint.

Those are the main reasons why we have been monitoring your blood pressure and heart rate, just as a precaution you understand. Said Dr Campton in an effort to reassure me. As he spoke he reached up and checked the drip attached to the pole at my bedside, then I realised that this was the IV that was stuck in my arm which was putting fluids back into my system.

I had not realised that I was dehydrated. He then lifted a chart from the end of my bed and began making notes after taking my temperature.

"Oh, I see, so I passed out because my blood pleasure was too high" I asked still feeling concerned. "Yes but it seems to have returned to normal now and both you and your baby are fine. I would advise however to avoid stress and take as much rest as possible for the remainder of your pregnancy Miss Swan.

All I heard was that my baby was going to be find and I began crying, but they were happy years. "Oh thank you doctor, thank you" I sobbed.

Dr Campton must have been embarrassed at my emotional state because he seemed to be edging his way out of the door.

As he did so he spoke "Oh, I nearly forgot Miss Swan, you have a visitor"

"who?" I asked

Dr Campton did not answer me straight away but reached forward instead to open the room door and spoke to someone outside

"Sir would you like to come in now? "

I could feel my heart racing in my chest, who could it be, the machine by my bed suddenly started going wild.

"Now Bella what did the doctor say about staying calm, I don't want anything to happen to you or my grandchild" Charlie said sternly pushing past the doctor to take hold of my hands and kiss the top of my head.

I was delighted to see my dad, part of me was disappointed and part of me was also relieved, I honestly did not know how I felt, all I could think of was that my heart rate managed to slow down so I took a calming breath. It could have been him and for a split second I was pleased it wasn't. I didn't think I was ready to face him yet and I didn't know when I would be ready.

Even though Edward had left me, I was still his and I would never be anyone else's for as long as I lived. I was his forever no matter whether he liked it or not, even if the feeling was not reciprocated my heart would always be his.

"Dad what are you doing here" I asked.

"Bells, I got a bit panicky when I got your text so I followed you to Florida when I got here I was told you had passed out, you had me worried girl"

"Sorry dad. Have you heard how Renee is, I was so worried about the baby mum condition completely passed my mind for a minute" I asked giving Charlie a pleading look.

He looked over at Dr Campton and seemed to ask a silent question which he understood because he nodded his head to indicate that it was okay to tell me.

"Well, they got a donor for the transplant and the operation went really well, it all went without any problems although she is still in recovery and will be for some time. They are quite hopeful that she wont reject the lung so its basically a waiting game just now but as I said, they seem quite hopeful that she will make a full recovery before long" explained Charlie with great relief.

"That's great dad, how soon do you think they will let me see her?" I said as I felt a bright smile spread across my face.

Dr Campton decided to answer my question "I'm sorry Miss Swan but it wont be for a few days at least, as your dad has mentioned, Renee is still in recovery and I don't think it would be good for either you or the baby to see her just now. Anyway, this is a crucial time and we also must make sure that her environment is as clinically germ free as possible, to prevent rejection of the transplant organ you understand".

"Oh" I could feel the tears building up in my eyes, call it pregnancy hormones or just plain worry. I wanted my mum and I wanted to be in her arms where it was safe. I felt someone wrap their arms around me and pull me into their chest.

"Is there really no way Bella could see her mom, as you can see keeping her away from her is causing my baby to worry" Charlie voice started out soft but then became angry and stern. I knew he was just trying to do what he thought was best for me and protect me but for some silly reason I cried even harder at his efforts.

Dr Campton shook his head, he was not willing to budge, not even an inch and I kind of understood. If I wanted what was best for my mom I had to go by the rules, it wouldn't be for long anyway.

Charlie was still trying to comfort me "Shhh Bells its okay, Renee is going to be just fine and as soon as its time you will get to see her, promise"

"Pinky promise?" I asked my dad, and knew he wouldn't refuse me because that's what we did when I was little and it always won him around!

Dr Campton spoke again. "Don't worry too much Miss Swan, it is procedure but as soon as she is out of recover and into a ward, or in this case a room, you will be able to see her. In the meantime please try and rest?"

"Okay and than you doctor, and I'm sorry about the emotional outbreak there" I said with a shy smile.

"Don't worry about it at all Miss Swan, we get a lot of ladies in here who tend to get upset easily due to their pregnancy hormones, something like my daughter was too so its not the end of the world" he explained and flashed me a charming smile.

2 Days Later

I was lying on top of my hotel bed, one hand placed softy over my baby bump and the other holding the book I was reading, it was Macbeth, one of Shakespeare's many classics. Last night Charlie got a call from the hospital saying that Renee had been moved from Recovery to a private room. She had woken up and the first thing she did was ask for me, and obviously Phil. To my knowledge I am unsure as yet if she has seen him, do doubt she has as he is her husband. Anyway, mom asked the nurses if I could visit her today so I was planning on visiting along with Charlie this afternoon.

I had been out of hospital a day now after being given the all clear and a speech on keeping my blood pressure down by not stressing. Easy for him to say he was not pregnant with a baby who was part human and part vampire, still he was not to know was he? Not only that but I had lost the love of my live, it was okay for him because I noticed he wore a wedding ring on his left hand so it looked as though he still had the love of his life by his side. When did I get so bitter I wondered?

I looked at the clock and realised it was only a half hour before visiting time at the hospital so I jumped off my bed and ran downstairs and quickly made some waffles for myself and Charlie.

Once we had finished our breakfast, Charlie called a cab to take us to the hospital. It must have been around fifteen minutes later that we arrived and headed towards Renee's room. I honestly could not wait to see her, to see how she looked and find out how she was feeling. She would be tired, I knew that at least as she had been through quite a bit.

I approached her hospital room and for some strange reason I was suddenly very scared. I did not know what I was going to find when I opened the door but then I felt a comforting hand on my shoulder, Charlie. He gave my shoulder a soft squeeze. I took a deep breath and pushed the door open and all my fears were unfounded.

There was Renee laying in the hospital bed although looking very weak with all wires connected to her body , but I thought to myself, my mom is alive, she is going to be okay. I did think for a moment though that I felt so helpless and I could not help but recall the time when it was my lying in a hospital bed in Phoenix with my mom nearby and Edward by my side.

I remembered then one of his promises was that he would never leave me, little did I know what was to come. I found it hard then to stop the sobs emanating from my throat but I had to subdue them for the sake of my mom.

I then heard a soft croak of "Bella"

That did it for me, I ran to her side and tried my hardest to wrap my arms around her. Obviously I could not because of all the wires and stuff attached to her, mixed with my pregnancy and it was quite difficult to give her a cuddle of the magnitude that I wanted.

I quickly said "Oh god mum I was so worried" I began crying and felt the tears run down my face.

I put my cheek to hers and she whispered weakly "oh baby don't, honey, I'm okay I'm here, I'm alive" she said kissing the top of my head "now stand back so I can get a good first good look of you and my grandchild" she said while smiling proudly at me then wincing as I got of the bed.

"Sorry did I hurt you? Do you need a doctor?" The questions came out rushed.

She shook her head gently and said "No honey all I need is a good look at you and my grandchild"

"okay" I said and stood back to let her have a look at me

"Oh" Renee said bringing her hand to cover her mouth as tears poured down both our faces..

I hugged her gently again. "its ok mum"

We spent the next few minutes talking about the baby and other stuff and before long it was time to leave. I wanted to stay longer but I knew she was very tired and needed her rest. I said my goodbyes, as did Charlie and we then headed back to our hotel room.

2 weeks later

Renee was beginning to get back on her feet but he recovery still had a long way to go. Charlie and I were preparing to leave to return to Forks today but I was worried about mom and Phil. I knew that Phil would do anything for her and he would make sure she was okay.

I loved that they had found each other as they made a nice couple, mum deserved to be happy and well cared for.

Once we had said an emotional goodbye, Charlie and I headed towards the airport to catch a flight to Seattle. I thought to myself that it would be good to get home, good to get back to some sort of normality, whatever that was. Those were my thoughts as the car pulled from the kerb and headed towards the airport.
