Edward's POV
As I walked through the front door of the house, Alice came to my side. She read my face, figuring out that I was thinking of something. I could tell that she was debating in her head whether or not she should ask me about Bella. Finally, she came to a decision.
She spoke in her mind, "So, how's Bella doing?"
"She's still unconscious," was all that came out of me.
I was actually thinking hard about what Alice could do to help me figure out Bella's future. But I wasn't sure how she could do it, or if I even wanted to know. Alice could see the unbreakable concentration from my facial expression, and decided to leave me alone. Giving me some time to think.
As she turned away, I asked, "Alice? Do you think you could find out if Carlisle has come to a decision yet? Or when he finally will?"
A large grin appeared on her face, "I can try. But, is there a certain decision that you hope he's going to make?"
I knew what she was thinking, "I'm not so sure myself Alice. But please, if you can, find out for me."
She nodded her head, "Sure." And turned around to leave.
I went straight to my room, turned on my stereo, and played soothing music, low enough for me to be able to think.
I lay in my bed, and couldn't help but think about what she had said. I wanted to spend my whole existence with Bella.
But I want her to be able to live her life normally, as a human. Allowing Bella to stay human meant, letting her go through high school without any trouble from me. Then, she'd most likely fall in love with someone like that Newton kid, they'd have a family, and live happily ever after with each other.
Although, I just can't the thought of letting her fall in love with someone else, and just handing her over. I would fight for her, if I could. But, I don't even know her feelings towards me.
Although, just the thought her possibly returning my feelings for her, makes me feel relieved and over-excited. There are some parts of me, that are praying that she has no other choice, than become one of us, so we could be with each other. She could learn to love me. I feel very selfish at the moment, but maybe that's what love does to you. I've waited for Isabella Swan for 100 years, and if I let her go now, God knows when someone like her would come across me.
I don't know what conclusion that I'm hoping for. At the moment, I just want Bella to be safe, and happy.
I closed my eyes, and listened to the melody of each song that played. Sometimes, I wish that vampires could sleep, because it'd make me feel a lot better if I could just doze off, relax, and forget about my worries for a while.
I was laying in my bed, for about a few hours. I don't have much to do these days, things are plain boring. I can do anything, anytime I want. I've got all the time in the world.
Ever since I heard that Bella was in the hospital, I spend my nights waiting for Carlisle to get home, so that he could update me on her. He told me everything he could, as he saw how concerned I was.
I opened my eyes to check the time. It's 11:36. Carlisle's shift was over about 20 minutes ago. But I guess he was checking up on Bella.
Right after that thought, I heard the front door open. It was Carlisle because I could hear him thinking about what a long day it was at the hospital.
He then said in a voice loud enough for everyone in the house to hear, "Can I have everyone downstairs, at the living room table for a family meeting."
I was one of the first people to be downstairs. I knew what Carlisle had to say, but I just wanted to hear it aloud. I could see Alice was literally skipping to the table in excitement.
Once everyone settled down, and gave their undivided attention to Carlisle, I scanned everyone's expressions. Alice was extremely excited, Jasper looked concentrated, Rosalie didn't look even at all interested, while Emmett did, Esme showed a hint of excitement, and Carlisle looked all business.
"We all know about the tragic incident with Bella Swan." He quickly glanced at me, and then looked at the others.
He continued, "I've figured out, that her body can only fight until about sunset tomorrow, until it gives up."
Horror flashed across my face.
Carlisle and Esme noticed it, and he quickly continued before I went into panic, "But I don't want to take the risk of waiting until last minute to see if she'd wake up. So, I've decided that we're going to turn her into one of us. Tomorrow."
At that moment, relief washed over me, while Alice squealed loudly and clapped her hands.
"But," Carlisle began to warn, "this is going to be a difficult task. We're going to have to figure out how we're going to cover everything up, starting off with her body. There's a high chance that Charlie's going to want a funeral. There can't be a funeral without a body, and bodies don't just disappear from hospitals."
"Trust me Carlisle, we'll get this done! And we'll succeed." Alice assured him.
"We'll call this, Mission Turn Bella into a vampire and cover up her death." Emmett suggested.
I rolled my eyes at him while everyone else just gave him a funny look.
"Kay, fine. We'll call it, Mission Bella Swan to Cullen." He corrected.
Hm, I like the sound of it.
"How is she going from Swan to Cullen?"someone scowled.
I looked up, and it was Rosalie. No surprise there.
"Easy. She is Bella Swan, but when she's turned into a vampire and joins our family, she'll be known as Bella Cullen when we move from place to place." Emmett replied, proud of his quick and clever thinking.
Mission Bella Swan to Cullen is on.
