A Lost Soul
Edward POV
I paced nervously outside of the hospital room, she had come to about an hour ago, but she had refused to see anyone, except Rosalie and Emmett, and none of the doctors would tell me if she and the baby are alright.
I heard the door open and Emmett walked out, gesturing that I could go in. I walked in hesitantly, my eyes looked over Bella as she lay in the hospital, she was as white as a sheet and had a bandage around her forehead, she also had a cast on her arm. She was fast asleep or maybe knocked out from pain killers.
Rosalie sat in a chair next to the bed and I went to sit on the couch against the wall. "How is she?" I asked, Rosalie looked over at me with her usual cold demeanour back in place.
"She'll live." She answered snidely. I never understood how her and Bella were twins. They were completely different personalities wise and with Rosalie's dyed blonde hair, they didn't even look alike. I swallowed harshly before I spoke again.
"And the baby?" I asked hesitantly. She shook her head with a shrug.
"She didn't say." We both lapsed into silence for a moment before she spoke again. "She had a visit from your wife." I was about to correct her, Tanya was officially my ex-wife as of yesterday, but she went on before I could. "She mentioned something about a Kate, who is she?" Classic Rosalie, always straight forward, it was what made her a good lawyer. I glanced at Bella, seeing her still fast asleep.
"A mistake, I guess you could say." I replied with a shrug.
"A pregnant mistake." My eyes shot to hers and I looked over to Bella. How much exactly did Tanya tell her?
"She was pregnant, yes." I admitted reluctantly.
"What happened to it?" I shifted uncomfortably and thought about telling her to fuck off, it probably wouldn't do well with trying to get Bella to forgive me for being an asshole though. I had wanted to talk to Bella about this first, I just couldn't figure out how to bring it up.
"She terminated the pregnancy." I answered clenching my fist.
"Was that her idea or yours?" My eyes snapped to Bella, her voice was weak, but her glare was strong. I shook my head, my face draining of colour.
"It was a mutual decision." I stood up and walked towards her, but she held up her hand to stop me. "I'd never ask you to do that, Bella. You and our baby are everything to me." I went to walk towards her and Rosalie stood up this time to stop me.
"I'd never ask you to do that, Bella. You and our baby are everything to me." I went to walk towards her and Rosalie stood up this time to stop me.
"There's not a baby for you to ask me to rid of any more anyway, Edward. I lost it." She said it so casually, without any emotion, that for a second I was actually angry at her. But as her words sunk in more and more. I felt my heart break in my chest.
"Bella, I-" she cut me off shaking her head.
"Just leave, Edward." She whispered, her voice breaking a little at the end. I shook my head and opened my mouth to argue, but Rosalie shot me a sharp glare.
"Just go, give her time. You're not going to help anyone by staying." I wanted to deny her words, but when I looked back at Bella I knew they were true. We both needed time right now and I wouldn't help being here. I nodded slowly.
"Okay, I'll go." I whispered, neither Rosalie or Bella stopped me when I slowly walked up to her bedside, I placed a gentle kiss on her forehead. "I love you." She didn't say anything, just looked away from me.
I sighed and walked back around Rosalie to leave, my heart felt heavy in my chest as I walked out the door. I felt like my heart had literally broken and I had a sinking feeling that nothing was ever going to be okay again.
Okay, so I know I'm probably going some hate for this. Have a little faith though, this is only the beginning. I promise.
