Well, here is the next chapter. Updated fasster than the last one. Enjoy!

Concussed

I became aware that I had been asleep, but for how long remained a mystery. Somebody was lying next to me and someone else was holding my hand, making circular motions on the back. These people were also talking. It took me a while to put the sentences together and make sense of them, I was feeling rather groggy.

"She's going to be fine. The only problem she's going to have is the exterior bruising. Her body seems to have almost completely reverted to being human, with the exception of her heart and that she still has venom. I have never seen anything quite like it, I don't know what to anticipate, but then, I have never seen anything quite like Bella."

"Grandpa, please." I felt the person beside me move, maybe sitting up, "is mum going to be okay?"

"As far as I can see, her and the baby will be fine," he paused, "Speaking of which, Edward, do you want to know if the baby is a boy or girl?"

I opened my eyes at that.

Edward noticed immediately, "Bella, you're awake." He kissed me tenderly, "You had me so worried, how do you feel?"

I swallowed, noticing how dry my throat was. Renesmee quickly placed a glass in front of me and helped me to drink it. Once I had swallowed, I turned to Carlisle.

"You know?"

"If the baby is a boy or girl? Yes. Would you like to know?" Carlisle answered as he attached the clipboard in his hand to the foot of my bed.

I looked at Edward, "do you want to know?"

He was still circling my hand with his thumb, "only if you do, baby."

I bit my lip, noticing suddenly the pain in my leg and head.

"Mum," Renesmee said gently, "when you fell, you hit your head and erm, broke your leg."

Doctor Carlisle intervened, "You broke your leg and it's in a cast, it should be fully healed in about six to seven weeks. I also think you may have concussion as a result of slight head trauma, but I'll have to observe you to confirm the diagnosis."

I waved my hand as if this happened every day, which was not too far from the truth in my human days.

"Okay, but more importantly," I grabbed Edwards arm and hugged it closer, "are we having a boy or a girl?"

Carlisle smiled and sat at the foot of my bed, "Congratulations, you'll be having a daughter."

A daughter! A beautiful baby girl! Renesmee would have a sister! Renesmee! I quickly turned to my daughter who was still lying beside me on my hospital bed.

"Congratulations Mum!" She smiled as she hugged me.

I felt the tears begin to well in my eyes, "You know that your sister will never replace you, don't you?"

She laughed, "Mum, I'm not five. I get it, I'm happy for you and I'll love her aswell. She is going to be so lucky. She'll have the best parents in the world, but she'll have something I didn't."

What did Renesmee want that she hadn't got? Were we awful parents? How could we neglect our daughter so badly? We were terrible parents! Our daughter resented us!

"Tell your mother what you mean Ness, she's starting to feel as though she's abandoned you your entire life," Edward said looking at me with an amused expression on his face. No doubt, he thought I was being melodramatic; I didn't. Renesmee had been a brand new experience for both of us. We were on a learning curve. We had a second chance to improve our parental techniques with our new daughter.

"Mum!" Renesmee brought me out of my thoughts, "Before you have a mental overload, all I meant was that the one thing she'll have that I didn't is one hell of an amazing sister!"

I smiled, my daughter didn't resent me! My heartbeat slowed, metaphorically of course.

"I love you baby," I said as i kissed the top of her head,

"I love you too mum, and you Daddy," Renesmee said as she climbed over me to hug both me and Edward.

"Okay guys. I really hate to do this, but Renesmee you need to go," Carlisle said as he got out of the chair that was in the corner of my room, "Jacob's waiting just outside."

"Can't he come in?" I asked

"I'm afraid not Bella. It's outside visiting hours." Carlisle said as he adjusted his stethoscope.

"Oh, is it?" I asked, until now i hadn't realised that it was dark in my hospital room, "What time is it?"

"Three thirty in the morning" Carlisle answered as he opened the door.

"Bye mum, bye Daddy," Renesmee said as she kissed us goodbye and grabbed her jacket from the end of my bed, before leaving the room.

"I'll be back to check on you in the morning, well, later in the morning," Carlisle smiled.

I burst into tears, and suddenly became very upset with Carlisle.

"Bella, honey? What's wrong?" Edward asked looking at me.

"Its caused by her concussion. Try and get her back to sleep and she should be fine in the morning. Oh before I leave. Bella? Do you remember when you woke up after having just arrived at the hospital?"

I shook my head as Edward wiped the tears away from my eyes.

"I didn't think you would, another symptom of concussion. Well, Miss Scott came to talk to you. It seems Rosalie jumped the gun a bit. She told the school nurse you were pushed"- he paused-"were you pushed?"

I remembered the incident extremely clearly. Kayla and Amy and how that had just left me.

I shook my head, "no, I fell. I twisted my ankle and fell down the stairs."

"Well, you'll need to tell Miss Scott that later," Carlisle said before leaving.

I turned to Edward, "Are you happy about our baby?"

He smiled at me and moved to lay next to me on my bed, I placed my head on his chest, using him as a pillow- he was always so comfortable, "More than you can imagine."

And with that he began to hum my lullaby and the inevitable drowsiness crept upon me and I was asleep.

DUN DUN DUN!!!

Why didn't Bella say she was pushed?
