No mini rant today... too tired
Disclaimer: Me no own
I stayed in the hospital, with Charlie until long past dinner. The doctor had already explained that Charlie's injuries where not life threatening and he would be out of hospital in 2 days. His arm and leg weren't broken but severely sprained so he would need a wheel chair for a little bit. Alice was particularly happy that Charlie would make it to the wedding. "What kind of celebration would it be if your father wasn't there," she told me cheerfully. I rolled my eyes.
Even though everything would be fine, I still wanted to be there when he woke up. Edward stayed with me too, softly humming my lullaby. Alice left after she checked up on Charlie's future. Since Jacob had left, Alice could now see what would happen to Charlie. "Everything will be ok," she said peacefully and skipped out of the hospital.
I shuddered at the thought of Jacob. I had caused him so much pain and now he was all alone. It was my fault. At one point I voiced my guilt to Edward. "Jacob attacked Charlie because of me. It wasn't his fault, it's my fault. All mine." I said muted so the nurses wouldn't overhear. Then I kicked the leg of my chair. I hurt my toe. To my miniature rant Edward responded in his usual calm persona.
"Bella, love. You are being utterly absurd. He knew what he was doing, it was his fault. It had nothing to do with you what so ever. You can not punish yourself for his actions. I swear if the dog comes back I might have to kill him" I cringed at the thought of Edward and Jacob fighting. Then I looked over at Charlie. I shivered.
"I get first hit. After I find I crowbar." I muttered under my breath. He snorted.
"If that would make you happy, then fine," he smiled crookedly at me. Our eyes locked. I couldn't help but get lost in his eyes. I forgot the sarcastic remark I had ready. Heck, I forgot my own name. Edward chuckled, bemused by my expression.
I snapped back to the present, where something was different. I heard the beeping of Charlie heart rate monitor in the background. Something about it was different. The pattern of the beeps was different. I looked over at Charlie and saw him move his head just a little.
"Dad!" I screamed exasperated. He was waking up. I almost ran to the bed, reminding myself that I had a tendency to trip over air. When I reached the bed I bent down to bring myself to the level of the bed. "Dad?" I saw his one unscarred eye slowing opening.
"Bella?" his voice was horse and cold. I felt all my guilt come rushing back.
"Oh my gosh! Dad I'm so sorry! If I knew something like this would happen I would have… I would have…" I chocked over my words. Tear were pouring furiously down my face. I felt Charlie hand stroke my hair. I looked up at has sad face. It was hard to read his expression right because of his scars – which would now always reminded of what I had done to Jacob and Charlie – however I could tell he was in pain. "Dad. Should I call the nurse?" I looked into his eyes.
"No thank-you" his voice was still horse. Charlie scanned the room. When he saw Edward he stopped. I expected anger or rage next. However, Charlie surprised me. "Edward I'm sorry that I treated you so badly. I was just looking out for my" he looked down at me, "little girl. I can see now that you are something very special to her. And Bella," he stopped, arranging the words in his head.
"Dad. Don't apologize to me. Let me apolo-"
"No!" he said impatiently, "Bella you were right. If you want to get married then you have my blessing. Besides, I would like to walk my little girl down the aisle." I could see I tears forming in his eyes.
"Dad, I..." I couldn't think of what to say. Charlie tried, with out luck, to smile.
"oww!" he said with humor in his voice. He chuckled, "smiling, equals, bad" I couldn't help but laugh. Then Charlie became serious again. "Bella we need the get some rangers out there. This wolf was huge! It was ten times bigger then an average wolf." I cringed.
"Ok dad. Go to sleep now. When you wake up we can talk about the wolf." I said as soothingly as I could mange. Charlie needed to rest. His eyes started to droop.
"I love you," he whispered and fell asleep.
"Me too," I answered too late. I stood up and melted into Edwards arms.
"Isabella Swan." He whispered in my ear, "Your wedding is in four days. I believe you have some things to do." I thought of the date. Was there really only four more days. I turned to face Edward and kissed him as hard as I possibly could.
"Edward Cullen." I whispered pulling away from Edward, "Your wedding is in four days. I think you have some things to do" He chuckled. Then Edward swept me up into his arms and in a flash we were outside in front of his car. I giggled. Everything was perfect, for the moment.
So originally this was the end of my fic and I didn't plan on writing more... That was when this story was still titled "Charlie's Trouble's"
So if it seems a little disconnected the next two parts, it is because I didn't plan on writing more. Sorry!!
I think the next part will be up Thursday if not sooner
R&R PLEASE!!
I will send you preview of the next chapter if you review!! :D
