A/N
Hooray! The new chapter is here! Sorry it took so long. In an attempt to get more readers I'm adding more fluff (not an obscene amount, don't worry). So here's chapter 5. Enjoy!
Oh and I'm not a doctor or anything and I've never really been to the E.R. so sorry if there's some inconsistencies and bad medical terms.

Okay, so last week I was looking on eBay. Then I saw that Stephenie Meyer was selling the rights to the Twilight books. So after days of eBay price battle with other fans, I won! Now I own everything! ….NOT! Like that would ever happen! Even if I wish it would….

Last chapter- Edward POV
I pulled into the hospital parking lot and quickly went inside to check on Bella. I hoped with everything I am her knee won't be too bad.

Bella POV
I was trying not to think about my knee, it would only make the pain worse. I tried to talking with Alice but I still felt the throbbing pain in my knee. It had continued to swell so now the splint Carlisle had put on dug in to my already sore leg. I bit my cheeks hoping it would distract me from the other pain. It didn't seem to be working. At least my hand doesn't hurt as much anymore.
We pulled up to the hospital, near the emergency area, and Carlisle said something, too quick for me to hear, to Alice. She nodded. I felt cold arms pick me up out of the car and take me, at human speed, into the E.R.
"Carlisle already has a room ready for you." Alice told me as we rushed pass the reception desk. No sooner had she sat me on the table when Carlisle came in.
"Here are some pain pills and an ice pack." He said while handing them to me along with a glass of water. I quickly swallowed them and placed the ice on the red football that had once been my knee. "Now let's get this splint off and get an x-ray."
He left and a nurse came in and started removing my make shift splint. As soon as she finished I was whisked way to the x-ray room. They put me on the table and gave me a lead vest to put over my chest. Then they proceed to twist and turn my leg into different positions, with hands ice cold against my burning hot skin.
About fifteen minutes later I was back in the room with Carlisle.
"You dislocated your knee cap, probably when you hit the ground after hitting the wall. When it moved out of place, it managed to tear a few tendons too." He carefully explained. "The only way we can fix it is with surgery. Because your knee is still swelling slightly, we need to get you in soon so that that doesn't cause more damage."
I nodded my head, not sure what to say.
He glanced at my bandaged hand. "You will need stitches on your hand too of course."
"Has anyone told Charlie yet?" I didn't want him worrying why I wasn't home yet. Not that me being in the hospital was anything new.
"Yes, Alice called while you were in x-ray. We figured it would be easier on him to see you after we got you fixed up."
Soon after that I was on the surgery table. The anesthesiologist put the mask over my mouth and nose and told me to count back from one hundred. I made it to 96 before everything went black for the second time that day.

Edward POV
I rushed into the hospital going slightly faster than a normal human would. Alice was in there waiting.
"Where is she? Is she alright? Can I see her? Wh-," Her hand covered my mouth, stopping all my questions.
Edward! Calm down! Her mind screamed at me. I took a deep slow breath though my nose,even though I didn't need it, and slowly let it out. She smiled and removed her hand from my face.
"Everything's fine, well her knee is messed up something awful and her hand had a nasty cut on it...but nothing life threatening. She's in surgery right now. Her knee cap was dislocated and there were a few torn tendons. On and she's getting stitches for her hand," She calmly, well as calm as Alice can get, explained to me. "It shouldn't be too much longer before she's out. You'll see her soon."

I was pacing in the waiting room. It felt like days had passed sense we locked eyes for those few seconds in the warehouse. I needed to see her, my Bella.
Edward would you PLEASE stop pacing!Emmett was apparently annoyed by my worrying. If you're going to get worked up like this every time she's in danger, you should just change her already!
I whipped around to face him and growled. That got me a few strange looks from others in the room, but I didn't care.
"Not now, Emmett. I'm not thinking about that now. Not until she's better." I snarled. I blocked all the confused thoughts of my family and sat in an empty chair. I tried not to think about what he said but it still floated around in my mind.
Luckily before I could give the idea too much thought a nurse came in. She was young and had on scrubs with some cartoon character on them. Her hair looked like it had seen better days. The tired look in her eyes didn't show as she called out cheerfully, "Family for Bella Swan?"
My whole family stood up, along with Charlie. "Hello, good news, she's out of surgery. Her knee has been fixed so she'll just need crutches for a few weeks. Bella is still sleeping but you can go visit her." The nurse smiled, her eyes scanning me and my brothers, her mind turning to more provocative things.
"Charlie, you can go see her first." I said turning to him. I know he still doesn't like me and I hoped me letting him see Bella on him own would soften him up a bit.
Wow, I thought he'd run down the hall as soon as she stopped speaking! Maybe he's not so bad after all…his mind called to me. So it worked…
"Thank you Edward." He said out loud and turned to the nurse.
"Right this way." She said as she lead him down the hall to Bella's room.

I was sitting in one of the unbelievably uncomfortable chairs. My entire body was still except my leg which was bouncing quickly with nervous energy.
" That's worse than the pacing Edward." Emmett called. I ignored him, he was just trying to get a reaction out of me. It's what he does when he's bored, annoy people, or vampires in my case.
Then I saw Charlie making his way down the hall back towards us.
"Bella's still sleeping. You can go in but the nurse said it could be another hour before she's fully conscious." Charlie told us when he reached the waiting area.
I nodded before striding toward the room with my beautiful angel in it. Like Charlie said, Bella was out cold when I walked in. I silently glided to her side and gently kissed her forehead. Then I pulled up a chair and sat next to her bed, waiting.

Bella POV
I'm sitting on a beach with the sun so bright it almost blinds me. I'm on a blanket and next to me is a sparkling Edward.
"The sun feels so good." I mumbled as I cuddled into his chest. " You look so pretty."
He chuckled. "Thank you you're pretty good looking yourself."
"Mmm….can we stay here forever? I don't want to go." I asked, my eyes closed, enjoying the warmth of the sun and the cool of Edward.
"No, once you're healthy they make you leave." He replied. That was weird. What did he mean 'healthy'?
My eyes sprang open as realization hit me. I was at the hospital, drugged from surgery. No wonder I had called him pretty! But that means I had said everything out loud….
I looked to my right in embarrassment and there, sitting in the ugliest chair in the world, sat the most beautiful guy in the world.
"Welcome back," he smiled. Then he slowly stood up and placed a single soft kiss on my lips. I smiled back, all my worries of idiotic sleep talking melting away. I leaned in and stole another kiss, this time making it last longer. He pulled back but only to cover my face and neck with more kisses.
Then someone in the doorway loudly cleared their throat, causing me to jump slightly and Edward to chuckle softly at my reaction. I could feel the blood rush to my face from being caught.
I turned to the person who had interrupted us.

Thanks hope you liked it!
Side note-
They chose an Edward for the movie! Hooray! The picture on the website is really bad, it makes him look U-G-L-Y (he ain't got no alibi…) but if you Google him they have better/ cuter pictures.
