Chapter 10: HOME

BPOV

"Tanya!?!?!"

I woke with a start as Edward began screaming. Who was Tanya? He looked pained sleeping in that chair. There were fresh tears streaming down his face. I was reaching over to awake him, when our eyes met.

"Edward, are you okay?" I whispered as he turned away from me.

"Yes, Bella. I'm perfect, just perfect." He replied sarcastically.

I let him sit in silence for a few moments in order to compose himself. What had happened to Edward to make him so sad, to be in so much pain? After a few moments, he turned back to me. His eyes were still reddened but he was himself again.

"Sorry for snapping at you, Bella. I just didn't think that being here would be so hard." Being here, what with me? Why was being here with me so hard? I was the one that had been beaten almost into nonexistence and he was having trouble being here?

"I didn't force you to say with me Edward." I couldn't keep my voice from cracking. His words had stung.

He looked into my eyes. "That's not what I meant Bella. I wanted to say here with you. If I didn't I would have left with the others." he frowned.

"Then what's bothering you, haunting you even in your sleep? Is it this Tanya girl?" I asked. Edward was hurting and I was determined to know why.

EPOV

She wanted to know what was happening. Should I tell her now with everything else going on? I felt like I needed too. I already knew her secret, even though she didn't know that Emmett had told me. I wanted Bella to know everything. I felt a connection with her. It was strange but being with Bella made the pain of losing Tanya a little easier to bare.

"Bella," I began, "Tanya, see she's my girlfriend." She frowned at me. "Well she was my girlfriend."

"What you broke up or something?" she questioned.

"No, Bella. We had been together for years. She was my better half, my life, my everything. About four months ago she started getting sick. I made her go be checked out. She had cancer Bella." I paused. I could see Bella's tears glistening in the dim light of the room. "It was advanced. There was nothing anyone could do for her. She died almost two months ago. I still miss her so." I couldn't help but let the tears spill from my eyes. I looked down so Bella couldn't see me cry. I suddenly felt two arms gentle wrap around me neck.

"It's okay Edward," she spoke softly. "I'm here, shush, I'm here." The tears began to pour from both our eyes. I held her and she held me as I rocked her back and forth. We were both broken.

-----------------------------------------------------------------------------------

After spending hours, crying Bella and I fell asleep. I wasn't sure what time it was when I awoke. Bella was still in my arms, sleeping quietly. She hair glistening from the sun streaming though the window. She looked like an angel lying there. I wanted to lean down and kiss her cheek, but I couldn't. I was still so guilty over Tanya. How could I be having these feelings from someone so soon after she'd passed?

"Um, Um." Someone cleared there throat at the doorway. "I leave you alone for one night Edward and your already mackin' on my sister." Emmett grinned. Bella began to stir in my arms.

"Morning, Em. Guys." She yawned and looked up seeing the position we had just been caught in. "Oh." she whined. The others piled into the room. I placed Bella beside me on the bed and scooted to the edge.

"If you guys are done, doing whatever you were doing, we can sign your paperwork and get outta here Bells,' Emmett bellowed.

I had almost forgotten she was coming home today. We were all leaving for Forks.

She stretched. 'Oh I'm so ready for that Em. What time does our plane leave?" she asked as she glanced up at the clock.

"Oh in about two hours," Alice responded.

"TWO HOURS?!?!?" Bella and I both shouted. "We'd better get a move on." She jumped off the bed and immediately lost her balance. I steadied her shoulders and balanced her.

"Um, thanks." She smiled.

"No problem, Bells." Bells, my Bella.

She began again. "Here we go." she walked of the room straight to the nurses station.

BPOV.

Edward was begin so sweet. He had told me about Tanya and what had happened. My heart broke for this man. He deserved better than to have his love ripped away from him in such a manner. I quickly walked to the nurses station, the others in tow. I just wanted to get out of here as soon as possible.

"Morning Bella. Are you ready to go?" Dr. McCartney asked.

"Yes, doc. She is. "Emmett interrupted.

"Shut up Em. Yes I am, Dr. McCartney."

"Great Bella, I'm glad your feeling up to this, what with the ba.." Oh shit. He was going to blow my secret.

"Yeah Doc," Emmett interjected, "all the bad stuff and all." Emmett saved me. I saved a thank you smile at him.

"Oh, yes, well," Dr. McCartney began again, " here are your prescriptions, one pill each day. I sent your records to my colleague and he'll remove your cast in about 4 more weeks. Any questions Bella?"

"Just one. When can I go?" I begged.

"Just sign here and your all done." I signed quickly.

"thanks doc." I couldn't help but crack a smile.

Emmett grabbed me and hugged me tightly. "Um, can't breathe here Em." he released.

"Bells let's get to the airport. I want my baby sister home." I smiled. Home. I was going home.

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

The flight was quiet. I was seated beside Edward, Rose beside Emmett, and Jasper beside Alice. We talked over the roles in the plane annoying the other passenger so much that they eventually moved us all closer together.

I was still tired, and when the plane landed I found myself once again, asleep beside Edward. He helped me up and I made my way toward the others.

Charlie was waiting for us outside the airport along this Edwards parents who were picking him, Jasper, and Rose up. We gave each other hugs and bid one another good night. Emmett took his place in the front seat of his Jeep, allowing Charlie to drive since he was half asleep. Alice and I climbed into the back seat. Alice and I feel asleep listening to Charlie talk to Emmett about the baby, how thrilled he was to have both his kids home, and our new addition to the family, Alice.

"Bells, were home." Emmett was shaking me awake.

'Um, okay," I yawned, who would've thought I could sleep this much. I was suddenly being lifted from the Jeep. I didn't care. I was too tired to care. The last thing I remember about that night was being placed in my bed. As I drifted back into my deep slumber, Emmett's words were echoing through me mind.

"Welcome home Bells."
