Chapter 10 – Flu

Edward POV

Why was it that the first thing I saw when I walked into my bedroom, wasn't my beautiful girlfriend soundly sleeping in the bed, dreaming peacefully? Why was it that the first thing I saw when I walked into my bedroom, was my beautiful girlfriend shivering in the bed sheets surrounded by freezing water.

What happened in here?

"Bella," I whispered, "Bella," I said louder, "come on sweetie, wake up then we can get you nice and warm so you won't get ill." She just grumbled at me from the bed. I went further into the room speaking louder as I went, "Bella, come on wake, you can't lie in this freezing bed all night." Still no answer but her shivering became more aggressive.

I was worried now, she could be really sick with the flu and the flu was fatal to humans, I had been through it myself, it wasn't a fun experience and it definitely wasn't one I wanted Bella to go through.

She groaned and tried to roll over into a warm, dry patch of the bed, until she realised that there was none and slowly cracked open each eye a fraction. She sat up slowly, the ends of her hair dripping cold water on to the back of her neck every now and then. She was definitely going to be ill and as if to prove my point at that very moment she sneezed.

"Come on love, let's get you warm," as I said that I picked Bella up gently remembering how fragile she was and carried her into the bathroom, sitting her down in the side of the bath which just so happened to be freshly run and warm, with lots of bubbles and sweet scented soaps.

You're welcome, Although Alice can be very annoying with her future reading abilities, it was times like these that really made you realise just how much you needed her there despite how frustrating it can be never being able to make a plan without her knowing about it.

"Stay still, I'll be back here in less than a minute," She just nodded sluggishly at me. True to my word in less than a minute I was back with a pair of my jogging bottoms t and a long sleeved t-shirt in my hands. "Now you get undressed and have a nice warm bath, then you can put these on to stay warm. Take as long as you want, if you need anything just shout for me ok?"

Again I got another drowsy nod.

Bella POV

My head was too foggy to function straight; I couldn't focus on the task at hand which was only getting myself undressed. How many years had I been dressing and undressing myself and in the space of one night and a bit of cold water I just couldn't manage it anymore.

The warm water was refreshing though and it did bring some feeling back into my tired muscles, though not enough to move to reach the shampoo. That would have to wait till another day.

I lay for so long in the bath that I lost track of time and the water started to get cold around me. I hopped out of the bath as quick as I could manage, holding back the need to be violently sick in the toilet. This had to be some sort of joke; the first night I spend at my boyfriend's house and I puke in his toilet. How attractive.

"Bella, are you alright in there?" He was so concerned for me, I truly felt cared for and safe when I was around him. I don't think I have ever felt so loved.

I was slowly to the bathroom door and unbolted it, "I'm fine," I croaked, my voice cracking making me realise how thirsty I really was.

"Come here," he pulled me towards him into a soft cuddle, wrapping his arms around me protectively; he pushed me along till I was sitting on the edge of his bed, which was now changed and oddly warm. He handed me a cold glass of water and took it from me again when I had finished with it. He was so good to me, but it got better. "Lie down; you can't have slept that much last night, you must be tired." I complied eagerly, I really was exhausted.

I fell asleep peacefully but not before I noticed Edward placing a hot water bottle underneath my head to keep me warm throughout the night.

Edward POV

Bella was restless the whole time she was sleeping constantly tossing and turning trying to escape the hot and cold flushes that overtook her body. All through the morning I was consistently swapping the hot water bottle under her head for my cold hand on her forehead. I hated seeing my love like this.

Ah, it seems my family are back from the commotion going on downstairs. Rosalie is greeting Emmett happily, Alice and Jasper the same, Esme and Carlisle quietly walking around the house checking if everything was in one piece.

It was now that Rosalie let her guard down and let me into her thoughts. I two things. I saw everything that had happened the night before and I saw red. The anger bubbled up inside me until I couldn't cope anymore and I was going to explode.

I raged down the stairs so angry that even Jasper couldn't control me.

Thank you for reading, please review, next chapter we will meet Emmett and hopefully that will be coming soon. Thank you :D
